Proiect Description Contract No. 604 involves the installation and execution of packer testing, water quality testing, liner installation, well development, and installation of a new pump assembly at the City of Vernon's (the City) Well No. 14. Well No. 14 is located at 2800 Soto Street in Vernon, CA. The pump for Well 14 is located at the General Pump Company yard, 159 North Acacia Street in San Dimas, CA. To view the condition of the pump call (909) 599-9606, extension 220. The Contractor shall provide the cost for new pumping equipment that is capable of being installed within the new 12 inch liner. The new pump shall be an oil lubricated lineshaft turbine pump that is capable of producing 1,000 to 1,200 gpm with approximately 355 ft of lift. The Contractor shall provide on the bid schedule the manufacturer, model and number of stages for the pump bowl assembly as well as the bowl curve efficiency for the design range of 1,000 to 1,200 gpm. In addition, the dimensions of the discharge head, pump column, oil tube and shaft shall be provided as well as motor size (horse power) and efficiency. The initial testing of Well 14 will be performed in accordance with Section F-1 "Detailed Technical Specifications" using an inflatable packer installed at 595 to 597 ft below the ground surface (bgs) to isolate and pump from the upper portion of the well for the purpose of water quality and quantity testing. Following installation of a vertical lineshaft deep well turbine test pump, Well No. 14 shall be pumped at its optimal discharge rate for several hours before water samples are collected. The sand production during this phase of testing may be at unacceptably high levels; however, the purpose of this test is to determine the overall water quality and quantity above 598 ft bgs, prior to proceeding with installation of a filter -packed liner designed to eliminate sand production in the well. The water quality samples collected during the packer testing shall be analyzed for general mineral and physical properties, volatile organic compounds (EPA Method 524.2), perchlorate, and total and dissolved metals. If the testing indicates acceptable water quality and quantity is available above 595 ft bgs, the 12- inch section of the well shall be destroyed by filling with neat cement grout from 600 to 1,302 ft bgs before installing a 12'/-inch OD by'/4-inch wall thickness copper -bearing steel liner installed from ground surface to 600 ft bgs within the 18-inch diameter portion of the well. The liner shall consist of 370`ft of blank casing (placed from 0 to 360 ft bgs and 590 to 600 ft bgs), with 230 ft of ful-flo horizontal louvered well screen (placed from 360 to 590 ft bgs). The liner will be filter -packed using a custom blend of well-rounded and graded sand and gravel from 600 ft to ground surface. The annular space shall be sealed by circumferentially welding a steel plate over the annular opening. Because neither the slot size of the existing screen nor the filter pack gradation is known, the selection of the slot size and filter pack for the liner is based on successful well designs in the vicinity of Well No. 14. Following the installation of the liner and filter pack material, the screened interval (from 360 to 590 ft bgs) will be initially developed by swabbing to ensure no bridging or voids have occurred in the filter pack, followed by installation of a vertical lineshaft turbine test pump for final development and testing of the well. Assessment of the well and aquifer characteristics will be performed by conducting specific pumping tests and comprehensive water quality samples will be collected at the completion of the 24-hour - B-4 - constant rate pumping test. All water quality analyses will be collected by the Geohydrologist and wll be analyzed by the City's laboratory. Well and aquifer testing will include step drawdown and 24-hour constant rate pumping tests. Prior to ending the long-term pumping test, ground water samples will be collected by Geoscience Support Services (Geo Science) personnel for delivery to the City. The City will submit the samples to the laboratory of their choice for analysis. During testing, sand content, discharge rate and pumping levels will be measured at specific intervals to assess the potential yield and efficiency of the well. It shall be noted that all work will be performed in accordance with the attached specifications developed by Geo Science. 15. Special Provisions Upon review of the analytical data from the test pumping, the Contractor shall provide the pump and motor equipment in accordance with Section F-1, page 47 of the "Detailed Technical Specifications." Based on the test pump data reflected in Line Item No. 11 the City reserves the right to remove Line Item Nos. 12 through 16 from Contract No. 604. - B-5 - Project .Map o� O r6 U Q 0 U 0 e �O O j Q Q Q m m a z 0 a Eq o in �OPp w OVOa k3NM00 oane�Vw J W a3nN3AV V00"IV 0 w 3nN3" WON � � W m W w Z W K Cl W rn z a 0 2 J 3nN3AV 31Aoe Z Z Z Z w 7 f Oo ® His OlOS 'R' 133a1S MOS o LLJ fi tiJ= � o" 3nN3AV 3TIIA3S w (/') W 3� x Z F- 1L31aaVH x M a We 3UIOVd z � U z N L-L J w�[ x Z - O 7 VAa3NIP1 N N s > N 3nN3AV 3d V1NVS 3nNW 3.1 V1NVS w z z 0 Z M z N N In ss0a 3 aoHiMVH 0 133a1S V03VIM C.

Correction of Defective and/or Unauthorized Work (a) All work that has been rejected shall be corrected, or removed and replaced by the Contractor, at the City's direction. Any remedial work will be done in a manner acceptable to the City. The Contractor shall pay the remediation and/or removal and replacement costs. The Contractor must obtain written authorization to perform extra or unauthorized work prior to undertaking such work. The Contractor will not be compensated for any unauthorized work. In addition, the City may order the Contractor to remove, at the Contractor's expense, any extra or unauthorized work. (b) The Contractor must comply promptly with any order made by the City under the provisions of this article. If the Contractor fails to comply with the City's orders, the City may in its discretion cause defective work to be corrected by its own forces or by another contractor. The amount that the City paid to correct the defective work will be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor. Section 39. Errors or Discrepancies Noted by the Contractor (a) If the Contractor, either before commencing work or in the course of the work, finds any discrepancy between the contract, especially the plans, specifications, drawings, and boring logs, or between any of them and the physical conditions at the worksite, or finds any error or omission in any of the plans, specifications, drawings, boring logs, or in any survey, the Contractor shall promptly notify the City in writing of such discrepancy, error, or omission. If the Contractor observes that any plans, specifications, or drawings are at variance with any applicable law, ordinance, regulation, order or decree, Contractor shall promptly notify the City in writing of such deviation or conflict. - D-10 - (b) The City, upon receipt of such notice, shall promptly investigate the circumstances and give appropriate instruction to the Contractor consistent with Section 29. Until such instruction is given by the City Engineer, any work done by the Contractor, either directly or indirectly after its discovery of such error, discrepancy, omission, deviation or conflict, will be at the Contractor's own risk. The Contractor shall bear all costs arising from any work that incorporates such error, discrepancy, omission, deviation or conflict. Section 40. Equipment The Contractor shall furnish equipment and facilities to perform the work to the industry standard in accordance with the plans and specifications. Such equipment and facilities must be in a good state of repair, be maintained in such state during the progress of the work, and shall meet all requirements of applicable ordinances and laws. No worn or obsolete equipment shall be used, and in no case shall the manufacturer's rating of capacity for any equipment be exceeded. Article 5. MISCELLANEOUS - - Section 41. Damages for Delay (a) The Contractor acknowledges the City's desire that the project be completed on or before the date specified in the Contract. The Contractor also acknowledges that if its work is not completed on or before said date, the City will incur substantial damages that cannot be ascertained at this time. Accordingly, the Contractor shall pay to the City any and all damages caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work under the Contract. (b) If the work is not completed in accordance with the foregoing, it is mutually agreed that the City will suffer damage, that it will be impractical and unfeasible to determine the amount of actual damage. Therefore, the Contractor will pay the City, as fixed and liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of $1,500.00, for each and every calendar day of delay, and that the Contractor and its Surety will be liable for the amount thereof. The Contractor, however, will not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in the completion of the work due to Force Majeure or acts of the City, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a Contract with the City, and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. (c) The Contractor shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such delay (unless the City grants a further period of time prior to the date of final settlement of the Contract) notify the City in writing of the cause of delay. Upon notification of a delay, the City shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and extend the time for completing the work if in its sole discretion its findings justify such an extension. The City's findings shall be final and conclusive on the parties hereto. (d) The City shall have the right to extend the time for completion if it determines such extension to be in the City's best interest. If the City extends the time limit for completing the work by way of a change order at the request of the Contractor, and for other than Force Majeure, it is understood and agreed that such time extension will increase the City's expenses. These expenses include, but are not limited to, the costs associated with engineering, inspection, supervision, incidental and overhead expenses that are directly chargeable to the Contract and that accrue during the period of extension. Therefore, the Contractor acknowledges that the City shall be reimbursed for its expenses before the final payment of the ten percent (10%) retention is made. Section 42. Guarantee The Contractor guarantees all work against defective workmanship, and the materials furnished, for a period of one year from the date the City accepts the work in accordance with Section 3(c). The Contractor shall repair'and replace any and all such defective work, together with any other work which may be displaced in so doing, at no cost to the City. The Contractor is not responsible for the repair or replacement of material damaged through ordinary wear and tear, usual abuse, or neglect. The City may proceed to repair or replace defective work and/or material if the Contractor fails to do so within a week after Contractor's - D-11 - receipt of written notice from the City. The Contractor agrees to pay the costs and charges the City incurs in repairing and replacing defective work and/or material upon demand. Section 43. Risk of Loss Prior to Final Acceptance Except as set forth hereinabove relating to Force Majeure, all risk of loss resulting from total or partial destruction of the work, or any part thereof, or any damage thereto, prior to final acceptance of the work by City, shall be borne by the Contractor regardless of the cause. The Contractor, at its sole cost, shall repair or replace such damaged or destroyed work to its prior undamaged condition before being entitled to additional progress payments, the final progress payment or payment of the retention. Such total or partial destruction or damage shall not excuse the Contractor from completion of the work in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. Section 44. Termination (a) Termination (Contractor's Default) (1) The Contractor will be in default if it does any of the following: (a) declares bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or assigns its assets for the benefit of its creditors; (b) disregards or violates a material provision of the Contract or the City's instructions; (c) fails to prosecute the work according to the approved construction schedule; (d) fails to provide a qualified superintendent, representative, competent workers, or subcontractors; and/or (e) fails to provide materials or equipment that meets the requirements of the plans, specifications, and drawings. The City, will notify the Contractor in writing of such default. Upon receipt of written notice of default, the Contractor shall, at Contractor's expense, preserve at the project site, all construction materials and equipment, and shall undertake immediate steps to remedy such default. (2) If the Contractor fails to remedy such default within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written notice of default, the City may, at its option, terminate the right to proceed with the work to which default has occurred or may terminate the Contract. Written notice will be provided to the Contractor, but not to the Contractor's sureties. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Contractor shall at its expense and for the work affected by any such termination: (i) assist the City in making an inventory of all material and equipment located at the site, enroute to the site, in storage or manufacture away from the site, and/or on order from suppliers; assign subcontracts, material and equipment supplier contracts, and equipment rental agreements to the City, as designated by the City; and remove from the site all construction material and equipment listed in said inventory other than the material and_ equipment which are to be used by the City in completing the Contract. (3) The City shall have the right to complete the work to which the termination applies. The Contractor agrees that the City shall have the right, for such purpose and for as long as necessary, to designate in writing, take possession of and use any or all of the material, plant, tools, equipment, supplies and property furnished by the Contractor. (4) The cost of completing such work, together with reasonable costs for administering any contract for completion, will be charged to the Contractor. The City will deduct these costs from the sum due or the sum that may become due to the Contractor. If these costs exceed the sum which would have been payable under the Contract, then the Contractor and/or its sureties shall be liable for and, upon written notice from the City, shall promptly pay the excess amount to the City. The City shall not be required to retain the bidder with the lowest estimate for completion of the work. The City may make any expenditures that, in its sole judgment, best accomplish the completion of the project. - D-12 - If such costs are less than the balance that would have been due, the Contractor shall have no claim to the difference. The City may, however, decide to reimburse the Contractor or the Contractor's sureties for costs incurred for materials, tools, equipment, property, and labor which were used in performing the work and of which the City shall have received the benefit. In computing the costs, as it relates to equipment owned by the Contractor, the salvage value at completion of the work shall be deducted from the depreciated value at the time the Contract was. terminated. (b) Optional Termination of Contract by City (Contractor Not at Fault) City may terminate the Contract, without cause, upon ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor. In such a case, the Contractor shall have no claims against the'City except for (1) the cost of the work performed up to the date the Contract is terminated, and (2) for the cost of materials and equipment at the site, in transit, or on definite commitment, as of the date the Contract is terminated, provided that such materials and equipment would be needed in the work and meet the requirements of the specifications. The cost of the work performed and the cost of materials and equipment, as mentioned above, shall be determined by the City in accordance with the procedure prescribed for making of a final progress payment as described in Section 3. Section 45. Standard Specifications The "Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction" (2003 Edition), published by Building News, Inc. is hereby incorporated by this reference and made a part hereof as though fully set forth at length.

TESTING, WATER QUALITY SAMPLING, LINER INSTALLATION AND TESTING OF CITY OF VERNON WELL NO. 14 1.0 GENERAL 1.1 Purpose and Scope The purpose of this document is to provide technical specifications for the installation and performance of packer testing, water quality sampling and liner installation of the City of Vernon's (the City) Well No. 14. Following installation of the liner and filter pack, the well will be developed and tested so that permanent pumping equipment can be designed. Well No. 14 is located at 2800 "Soto Street in the City of Vernon, Los Angeles County, California. A general location map showing the location of the well is shown in Figure 1, with a more detailed location map shown in Figure 2. All work for packer testing, water quality sampling, liner installation, development and pump testing shall be conducted as specified herein. A mandatory pre -bid meeting will be held by the Owner at the time and place specified in the accompanying cover letter. Initial testing of Well No. 14 will be achieved using an inflatable packer installed at 595 to 597 ft below ground surface (bgs) to isolate and pump from the upper portion of the well for the purpose of water quality and quantity testing. Following installation of a vertical lineshaft deep - well turbine test pump, Well No. 14 will be pumped at its optimal discharge rate for several hours before water quality samples are collected. It is understood that sand production during this phase of testing may be .at unacceptably high levels; however, the purpose of this test is to determine• overall water quality and quantity above 595 ft bgs, prior to proceeding with GEOSCIENCE Support Services, Inc. City of Vernon 1 Detailed Technical Specifications for Packer Testing, Water Quality Sampling, Liner Installation and Testing of City of Vernon Well No. 14 Nov-07 installation of a filter -packed liner designed to eliminate sand production in the well. The water quality samples collected during packer testing will be analyzed for general mineral and physical properties, volatile organic compounds (EPA Method 524.2), perchlorate (EPA Method 314), and total and dissolved metals. If packer testing shows that acceptable water quality and quantity is available above 595 ft bgs, the 12-inch diameter section of the well shall be destroyed by filling with neat cement grout from 600 to 1,302 ft bgs before installing a 12 %-inch OD by '/4-inch wall thickness copper -bearing steel liner installed from ground surface to 600 ft bgs within the 18-inch diameter portion of the well. The liner shall consist of 370 ft of blank casing (placed from 0 to 360 ft bgs and 590 to 600 ft bgs); with 230 ft of ful-flo horizontal louvered well screen (placed from 360 to 590 ft bgs). The liner will be filter -packed using a custom blend of well-rounded and graded sand and gravel from 600 ft to ground surface. The annular space shall be sealed by circumferentially welding a steel plate over the annular opening. Because neither the slot size of the existing screen nor the filter pack gradation is known, the selection of the slot size and filter pack for the liner is based on successful well designs in the vicinity of Well No. 14. Following installation of the liner and filter pack material, the screened interval (from 360 to 590 ft bgs) will be initially developed by swabbing to ensure no bridging or voids have occurred in the filter pack, followed by installation of a vertical lineshaft turbine test pump for final development and testing of the well. Assessment of the well and aquifer characteristics will be performed by conducting specified pumping tests and comprehensive water quality samples will be collected at the completion of the 24-hour constant rate pumping test. All. water quality analyses will be collected by the Geohydrologist and will be analyzed by the City's laboratory.

The city is bounded on the north and west by the City of Los Angeles, on the south by the City of Huntington Park, and on the east by the Cities of Commerce, Bell, and Maywood. The City is located in the Central Basin of the Coastal Plain of Los Angeles County, California. The Central Basin is a structural depression that is bounded to the north by a surface divide known as the La Brea high, on the northeast and east by the Elysian, Repetto, Merced, and GEOSCIENCE Support Services, Inc. City of Vernon 5 Detailed Technical Specifications for Packer Testing, Water Quality Sampling, Liner Installation and Testing of City of Vernon Well No. 14 Nov-07 Puente Hills, and on the southeast by Coyote Creek, a regional drainage province boundary. These uplifted areas are essentially composed of Tertiary -aged, non -water bearing, metamorphic and igneous rocks that have undergone multiple events of folding and faulting (DWR, 1961)1. The Central Basin is bounded on the west and southwest by the Newport Inglewood fault zone and the related Newport Inglewood uplift, a series of folded and faulted, northwest -southeast trending hills located, between Beverly Hills and Newport Beach in Orange County (see Figure 1). Weathering of the mountains and hills to the north and east of the Central Basin has resulted in the deposition of Holocene and Pleistocene -aged alluvial sediments that have filled the basin to a maximum depth of approximately 2,200 ft bgs (DWR, 1961). Surface exposures of recent alluvium are present throughout the City. The Lakewood and San Pedro formations extend below the recent alluvium and contain the main freshwater aquifers that are tapped by wells in the area. Regional ground water flow in the vicinity of the City is generally from the east to the west however, the western portion of the City has a ground water flow component in a southwesterly direction. The regional hydraulic gradient ranges from approximately 26 to 53 ft per mile. Ground water occurs at an average depth of approximately 180 to 220 ft bgs throughout the Vernon area. Well No. 14 is located within the Los Angeles forebay, an area of unconfined ground water and interconnected aquifers (DWR 1961). During an April 2006 video survey the depth to water in Well No. 14 was observed at 230 ft bgs. California Department of Water Resources (DWR), 1961.

CAS004001 WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR MUNICIPAL STORM WATER AND URBAN. RUNOFF DISCHARGES WITHIN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, AND THE INCORPORATED CITIES THEREIN, EXCEPT THE CITY OF LONG BEACH The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (hereinafter referred to as the Regional Board) finds: A.- Existing Permit The Los Angeles. County Flood Control District, the County of Los Angeles, and 84 incorporated cities within the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (see Attachment A, List of Permittees), hereinafter referred. to separately as Permitteas and jointly as the Discharger, discharge or contribute to discharges of storm water and urban runoff from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), also called storm drain systems. The discharges flow to water courses within the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and into receiving waters of the Los Angeles Region. These discharges are covered under countywide waste discharge requirements contained In Order No. 86-054 adopted by this Regional Board on July 15, 1996, which replaced Order No. 90-079 adopted by this Regional Board on June 18, 1990. Order No. 96-054 also serves as a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System .(NPDES) permit for the discharge of municipal storm water. B. Nature of Discharges and Sources of Pollutant 1. Storm water discharges consist of surface runoff generated from various land uses in all the hydrologic drainage. basins that discharge into water bodies of the Stdte. The quality of these discharges varies considerably and is affected by the hydrology, geology, land use, season, and sequence and duration of hydrologic events. The primary constituents of concern currently identified by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District Integrated Receiving Water Impacts Report (1994-2000) are` cyanide, Indicator bacteria, total dissolved solids, turbidity, total suspended solids, nutrients, total aluminum, dissolved cadmium, copper, lead, total mercury, nickel, zinc, bis(2-ethyihexyi)phthalate, polycyciic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dlaAnon, and chlorpyrifos. 2. Certain pollutants present in storm water and/or urban runoff may be derived from extraneous sources that Permittees have no or limited jurisdiction over. Examples of such pollutants and their respective sources are: PAHs which are products of internal combustion engine December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 -2- Order No. 01-182 operation, nitrates, bis (2-ethylhexyi) phthalate and mercury from atmospheric deposition, lead from fuels, copper from brake pad wear, zinc from tire wear, dioxins as -products of.combustion, and natural - occurring minerals from local geology. However, the implementation of the measures set forth in this Order is intended to reduce the entry of these pollutants into storm water and their discharge to receiving waters. 3. Water quality assessments conducted by the regional Board identified Impairment, or threatened impairment, of beneficial uses of water bodies In the Los Angeles Region. The causes of impairments include pollutants of coricem identified in municipal•storm water ditchargee'by the County of Los Angeles In the Integrated Receiving Water Impacts Report (1994- 2000). Pollutants in storm water can, have damaging effects on both human health and aquatic ecosystems. 4. The Los Angeles County brand Jury, September 2000, completed an investigation into the health risks of swimming near beaches in Los Angeles County and made several recommendations, toreduce public health risks (Final Report, Grand Jury, Los Angeles County, 1999-2000). The Grand Jury recommended that the Regional Board consider among other actions, (1) a focus on setting contaminant limits, rather then Programmatic evaluations, @):audit of MS4 Permittee programs; and (ill) clarifying enforcement responsibilities between the State and local governments. 5. Studies and research conducted by other Regional agencies, academic institutions, and universities have also identified storm water and urban runoff as significant sources of pollutants to surface waters in Southern California. See, e.g., [Surface Runoff to the Southern California Bight, Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, (1992); impacts of Urban Runoff on Santa Monica Bay and Surrounding Ocean Waters (Gersberg, R.M., 1995); State of the Bay 1998, Santa Monica Bay Restoration Project; Storm Water Impact, In, SouthernCalifornia Environmental Report Card 1999, institute of the Environment, University of California,` Los Angeles (Stenstrom,' M.S., 1999); Distribution of Anthropogenlc and Natural Debris on the Mainland Shelf of Southern Callfomla Bight, Shelly L. Moore and M. James Allen (1999); The Health Effects of Swimming In Ocean Water Contaminated by Storm Drain Runoff Haile, R.W. et al. (1999); Huntington Beach Closure Investigation: Technical Review (University of Southern California, 2000); A Regional Survey of the Microbiological .Water Quality Along the Shoreline of the Southern Californla Bight, Rachel T. Noble et al. (2001), Integrated Receiving Water Impacts Report (1994-2000), County of Los Angeles (2001)]. 6. Development and urbanization increasepollutant load, volume, and discharge velocity. First, natural vegetated pervious ground cover is converted to impervious surfaces such as paved highways, streets, rooftops and parking lots. Natural vegetated soil can both absorb rainwater and remove pollutants providing an effective natural purification process. in contrast, pavement and concrete can neither absorb water nor remove pollutants, and thus the natural purification characteristics are December 13, 2001 r F L NPDES CAS004001 - 3 - Order No: 01-182 lost: Second, urban development creates new pollution sources as the Increased density of human population brings proportionately higher levels of vehicle emissions, vehicle maintenance wastes, municipal sewage waste,' pesticides, household hazardous wastes, pet wastes, trash, and other anthropogenic pollutants. Development and urbanization especially threaten environmentally sensitive areas. Such areas have a much lower capacity to withstand pollutant shocks than might be acceptable in the, general circumstance; In essence, development that is ordinarily Insigni0cant.in its impact on the environment may in a particular sensitive environment become significant. These environmentally sensitive areas designated by the State and/or the County of Los Angeles include Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASKS), water bodies designated as supporting a RARE beneficial use, Significant Natural Areas (SNAs), and Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs). 7. The -increased volume, increased velocity,�and discharge duration of storm water runoff from developed areas has the potential to greatly accelerate downstream erosion and impair stream habitat in natural drainages: Studies have demonstrated a direct correlation between the degree of imperviousness of an area and the degradation of its receiving waters. Significant declines in the biological integrity and physical habitat of streams and other receiving waters have been found to occur with as Tittle as 10 percent conversion from natural to impervious surfaces. Percentage Impervious cover is a reliable indicator and predictor of potential water quality degradation expected from new development.

The County of Los Angeles has Identified as the seven highest priority industrial and commercial critical source. types, (i) wholesale trade (scrap recycling, auto dismantling); (11) automotive repair/parking; (111) fabricated metal products; (iv) motor freight; (v) chemical and allied products; (vi) automotive dealers/gas stations; (vii) primary metal,products (Critical December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004061 - 4 - Order No. 01-182 Source Se/ectlon.and Monitoring Report, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works -Sept: 1996). Monitoring conducted by Los C Angeles County and the Regional Board demonstrates that the priority I IndustrI4.sectom and auto repair facilities (one of the commercial sectors) on the list, contribute significant concentrations of heavy metals to storm water (Los Angeles County 1999-2000 Storm Water Monitoring Report, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works -July 2000; Compliance Assessment of the Auto Dismantling Industry; Evaluation of the California General Industrial Storm Water Permit, H. Chang, (2001). 70 pp., California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles -- Region)... 9. The discharge of.washwateis and contaminated storm water from Industries and businesses specified in this,Order for inspection by Permittees- Is an environmental threat and can also adversely impact public health and safety. For example, a review of industrial waste/ pretreatment records performed in 1995 in the. County of Los Angeles on { Illicit discharges indicates that automotive service facilities and food service facilities sometimes discharge polluted washwaters to the M84. r The pollutants of concern in such.washwaters include food waste, oil and L grease, and toxic chemicals. Other storm waterlindustrial waste programs In California have reported similar observations. Illicit discharges from r automotive service facilities and'food service facilities have been identified elsewhere as a major cause of widespread contamination and water quality problems (Washtenaw County Statutory Drainage Board - 1987 Huron River Pollution Abatement Program). 10. Studies indicate that facilities with paved surfaces subject to frequent motor vehicular traffic (such as parking lots and fast food restaurants), or r: facilities that perform vehicle repair, maintenance, or fueling (automotive service facilities) are potential sources.of pollutants of concern in stone water.

Retail Gasoline Outlets (RGOs) are points of convergence for vehicular traffic and are similar to parking lots and urban roads. Studies indicate that storm water discharges from RGOs have high concentrations of hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

Pilot studies indicate that treatment control best management practices installed at retail gasoline stations are effective in removing pollutants, reasonable in capital cost, easy to operate, and do not present safety risks [Rouge Rhrer National Wet Weather Demonstration Project, Task Product Memorandum = Evaluation of On-line Media Filters RPO-NPS TPM59.00, Wayne County,.Mli March 1999]. The Regional Board and the San Diego Regional. Board have jointly prepared'a Technical Report on the applicability of new developMOnt BMP design criteria for retail gasoline outlets, (Retail Gasoline Outlets: New Development Design Standards for Midgatlon of Storm Water Impacts, (June 2001)). Retail Gasoline Outlets in WesterU.S. States (such as Washington and Oregon) are already subject to numerical-BMP design criteria, as well in other U.S. States. Permit Background 1. The essential components of the Storm `Water Management Program, as established by federal regulations [40 CFR 122,26(d)] are: (1) Adequate Legal Authority, (11) Fiscal Resources, (iii) Storm Water Quality Management Program (SQMP) - (Public Information and Participation Program, Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program, Development Planning Program, Development Construction Program, Public Agency Activities Program, illicit Connection and illicit Discharges Elimination Program), and (iv) Monitoring and Reporting Program. 2. The Permittees, have filed a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD), dated February I 2001, and applied for renewal of 1heir waste discharge requirements that serves as an NPDES permit to discharge wastes to surface waters. The ROWD includes a proposed SQMP and a Monitoring Program. The proposed SQMP contains programs previously approved under Board Order No.96-054 in the following areas: Public Information and Participation Development Planning Development Construction Public Agency Activities Illicit Connection/Illicit Discharge Elimination Program These programs are revised pursuant to the provisions of this Order after adoption. 3. The County of Los Angeles has previously conducted source Identification and pollutant characterization consistent with 40 CFR 122.26(d)(1)(11) and (iii) under Its storm water Monitoring Program. The Monitoring Program submitted with the ROWD proposes to advance the assessment of receiving water impacts, Identification of sources of pollution, evaluation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), and measurement of long term trends in mass emissions. December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 19 4. 5. 6 - Order No. 01-182 The Regional Board has reviewed.the ROWD and has determined it to be complete under the reapplication policy of -MS4s Issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) (61 Fed. Reg. 41697). The Regional Board finds that the Permittees' proposed SQMP, Incorporating the additional and/or revised .provisions contained in this Order would meet.the minimum requirements of federal regulations. The City of Los Angeles has conducted shoreline and nearshore water quality monitoring off the Santa Monica Bay since the 1950s under the monitoring program for the Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant (NPDES No. CA0109991), The monitoring results indicate that effluent from Hyperion's 5-Mile Outfall does not impinge:the shoreline, and that elevated bacterial counts are associated with runoff from storm drains and discharges from piers. In 1994, thalkegional Board approved the relocation of Hyperion's shoreline -stations to Implement a bay -wide, regional shoreline -monitoring program associated with storm drain outfalls in the Santa Monica Bay. The City of Los. Angeles requested that the shoreline -monitoring requirement be incorporated in this Order. The shoreline pathogen monitoring requirements are outlined in the Monitoring Program for this Order. ' .. Permit Coverage 1. The requirements in this Order cover all. areas within the boundaries of the Permittee municipalities (see Attachment A) over which they have regulatory jurisdiction as well as unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County within the Jurisdiction of the Regional Board. The Permittees serve a population of about 9.5 million [Reference: 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce (2001)] in an area of approximately 3,100 square miles. 2. Federal, state, regional or local entities within the Permittees' boundaries or in jurisdictions outside the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and not currently named in this Order, may operate storm drain facilities and/or discharge storm water to .storm drains and watercourses covered by this Order. The Permittees may lack legal jurisdiction over these entities under state and federal constitutions. The Regional Board will coordinate with these entities to implement programs that are consistent with the requirements of this Order. The Regional Board will consider such facilities for coverage In 2003 under Its NPDES permitting scheme pursuant to USEPA Phase II storm water regulations. 3. Sources of discharges Into receiving waters in the County of Los Angeles but In jurisdictions outside its boundary include the following: About 34 square miles of unincorporated area in Ventura County, which drain into Malibu Creek and then to Santa Monica Bay, About 9 square miles of the City of Thousand Oaks, which also drain Into Malibu Creek and then to Santa Monica Bay, and December 13, 2001 I". L NPDES CAS004001 - 7 - Order No. 01-182 About 86 square miles of area in Orange County, which drain into Coyote Creek and then Into the San Gabriel River. The regional Board will ensure that storm water management programs for the areas in Ventura County and the City of Thousand Oaks that drain Into Santa'Monica Bay are consistent with the requirements of this Order. The Regional,Board will coordinate with the Santa Ana Regional Board so that storm water management programs for the areas in Orange County that drain into Coyote Creek are consistent Vvith the requirements of this Order. 4. This permit is intended to develop, achieve; and implement a timely, comprehensive, cost -effective -storm water pollution control program to reduce the discharge of pollutants' in storm water to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) from the permitted areas In County of Los Angeles to the waters of the U.S.- subject to the Permittees' jurisdiction. 5. Permittees have expressed their intention to work cooperatively to control the contribution of pollutants from one portion of the MS4 to another portion of the system. Permittees may control the contribution of pollutants to the MS4 from non-permittes dischargers such as Caltrans, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other state and federal facilities, through interagency agreements. E: Federal, State, and Regional Regulations 1. The Water Quality Act of 1987 added Section 402(p) to the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C. § 1251=1387) This section requires the USEPA to establish regulations setting forth NPDES requirements for storm water discharges in two phases. • The USEPA Phase I storm water regulations were directed at MS4s serving a population of 100,000 or more, including interconnected systems and storm water discharges assoclated with industrial activities, including construction. activities. The Phase I Final Rule was published on November 16, 1990 (56'Fed. Reg. 47990). • The USEPA Phase II storm water regulations are directed at storm water discharges not covered in Phase , Including small M84s (serving a population of less than 100,000), small construction projects (one to five acres), municipal facilities with delayed coverage under the Intermodal. Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, and other discharges for which the USEPA Administrator or the State determines that the storm water discharge contributes to a violation of a water quality standard, or Is a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the United States. The Phase 11 Final Rule was published on December 8, 1999 (64 Fed.' Reg:'68722). 2. The USEPA published an .'Interim Permitting Approach for Water Quality - Based Effluent Limitations In Storm Water Permits' on August 26, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 43761). This policy discusses the appropriate kinds of December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 0 4. A 6. 7. December 13, 2001 -8- Order No. 01-182 water quality -based effluent limitations to be included to NPDES storm water permits to provide for the attainment of water quality standards. The USEPA published an 'Interpretative Policy Memorandum on Reapplication Requirements' for MS4 permits on August 9, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 41697). This policy requires that MS4 reapplication for.relssuance for a subsequent five-year permit term contain certain basic Information and information for proposed changes and improvements to the storm water management program and monitoring program. The USEPA has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service for. enhancing_ coordination regardingthe.protectlon of endangered. and threatened -species underSection7 of the Endangered Species Act and the CWKs Water Quality Standards and NPDES programs: Among other.actions, the .MOA establishes a framework for coordination of actions by the USEPA, the Services, and CWA delegated States on CWA permit issuance under Section 402 of the CWA [66 Fed. Reg. 11202—11217]. USEPA regulations at 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(1v)(A) and 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(iv)(C) require that MS4 permittees,implement a program to monitor and control pollutants in discharges to the municipal system from industrial and commercial facilities that contribute a substantial pollutant load to the MS4. The regulations_ require that permitteesestablish priorities and procedures for inspection of industrial facilities and priority commercial establishments. This permit, consistent with the USEPA policy, incorporates a. cooperative partnership, including the specifications Of minimum expectations, between the Regional Board and the Permittees for the inspection of Industrial facilities and priority commercial establishments to control pollutants in storm water discharges (58 Fed. Reg. 61157). Section 402 (p). of the CWA (33 U.S.C. § 1342(p) provides that M84 permits must *require controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum :extent practicable, including management practices, control techniques and system, design engineering method and such other provisions as the [EPA] Administrator or the State determines appropriate for the control of such pollutants." The State Water Resources Control Board's (State Board) Office of Chief Counsel (OCC) has issued a memorandum interpreting the meaning of MEP to include technical feasibility, cost, and benefit derived with the burden being on the municipality to demonstrate compliance with MEP by showing that a SMP is not technically feasible In the locality or that BMPs costs would exceed any benefit to be derived (dated "February 11, 1093). The CWA. authorizes the USEPA to, permit a state to serve as the NPDES permitting authority In lieu of the USEPA. The State of California has In -lieu authority for an NPDES program. The Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act authorizes the State Board, through the Regional Boards, to regulate and control the discharge of pollutants Into waters of the State. The State Board entered into a MOA with the USEPA, on r r r L i. r i NPDES CAS004001 - 9 - Order No. 01-182 September 22,1989, to administer the NPDES Program governing discharges to waters of the,U.S. 8.. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires that the State identify a list of impaired water -bodies and develop and .implement Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for.•these:waterbodies (33 U.S.C. §1313(d)(1)). A TMDL specifies the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water -body -can receive, still meet applicable water quality, standards and protect beneficlal uses. The USEPA entered Into consent decree with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Heal the Bay, and the Santa Monica BayKeeper on March 22, 4999, under which the Regional Board must adopt,ail TMDLSr for the Los Angeles Region within 13 years from that date. This -permit incorporates a provision to implement and enforce approved load allocations for municipal, storm water discharges and requires amending the SQMP after pollutants loads have .been allobated •bnd approved. 9. Section 6217(g) of the -Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 (CZARA) requires coastal states with approved coastal zone management programs to address non -point pollution Impacting or threatening coastal"water quality. CZARA (16 U.S.C. § 1451-1465) amends the Coastal"Zone' Management Act of 1972, to address five sources of non -point pollution: agriculture, silviculture, urban, marinas, and hydromodification. This NPDES permit addresses the management measures required for the urban category, with the exception of septic systems. The Regional Board addresses septic systems through the administration of other programs. 10. On May 18, 2000, the USEPA established numeric criteria for priority toxic pollutants for the State of California (California Toxics Rule (CTR)) 65 Fed. Reg. 31.682 (40 CF,R 131.38), for the protection of human health and aquatic life. These apply as ambient water quality criteria for inland surface waters, enclosed bays, and estuaries. The State Board adopted the Policy for Implementation of Toxics Standards for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Esto8des of C600Mia (SIP) — 2000, on March 2, 2000, for Implementation, of the_CTR (State Board Resolution No. 2000-15 as amended by Board Resolution No..2000-030). This policy requires that discharges comply with TMDL-derived load allocations as soon as possible but no later than 20 years from the effective date of the policy. 11. The State Board adopted a revised Water.Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (Ocean Plan) on July 23, 1997. The Ocean Plan contains water quality objectives which apply to all discharges to the coastal waters of California. 12. The State Board in In Re: California Department of Transportation (State Board Order WQ 2001-08), determined that the discharge of storm water to ASBS is subject to the prohibition in the Ocean Plan against the discharge of wastes to an ASBS. December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 -10- Order No. 01-182 13. The Regional Board adopted an updated Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the Los Angeles Region on June 13, 1994, 'Water Qualfty Control Plan, Los Angeles Region: Basin Plan for the Coastal Watersheds of Los kigeles and Ventura Counties, (1994).' The Basin Plan designates beneficial uses of receiving -waters and specifies both narrative and numerical water"quality objectives for the receiving waters In Los Angeles County. 14. The Regional. Board on September 19, 2001, adopted amendments to the Basin Plan, to incorporate TMDLs for trash in the Los Angeles River (Resolution No. 01-013) and Ballona Creek (Resolution No. 01-014). After approval by the State Board, the Office of Administrative Law, and the USEPA, the TMDLs for trash will- be effective and enforceable. 15. The Regional Board on April 13 1998, approved BMPs for sidewalk rinsing to minimize the discharge of wash waters to the storm drain system (Resolution No. 98-08). By the same resolution, the Regional Board prohibited the discharge of municipal street wash waters to the storm drain system. 16. The Regional Board on April 13, 1998; approved recommended BMPs for industrial/commercial facilities (Resolution No. 98-08). 17. The Regional Board on April 22, 1999, approved a list of BMPs for use in development planning and development construction (Resolution No. 99- 03) 18. The Regional Board adopted and approved requirements for new development and significant redevelopment projects in Los Angeles County to control the discharge of storm water pollutants in post -construction storm water, on January 26, 2000, in Board Resolution No. R-00-02. The Regional Board Executive Officer issued the approved Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMPs) on March 8, 2000. The State Board In -large -part affirmed the Regional Board action and SUSMPs In State Board Order No. WO 2000-11 issued on October 5, 2000. • The State Board's Chief Counsel has issued a statewide policy memorandum (dated December 26, 2000). which interprets the Order to provide broad discretion to Regional Boards and identifies potential future areas for inclusion in SUSMPs and the types of evidence and findings necessary. Such areas Include ministerial projects, projects in environmentally sensitive areas, and water quality design criteria for RGOs. 19. December 13, 2001 • The State Board's Chief Counsel interprets the Order to encourage regional solutions and endorses a mitigation fund or "bank" that may be funded by developers who obtain waivers from. the numerical "design standards for new development and significant redevelopment. 40 CFR 131.10(s) prohibits states from designating waste transport or waste assimilation as a use for any water of the U.S. Authorizing the I- NPDES CAS004001 -11 - Ord6r. No.`01-182 construction of a storm water/ urban runoff treatment facility in a jurisdictional water body would be tantamount to accepting waste assimilation as an appropriate use for that water. body. Furthermore, the construction and operation of a pollution control facility in a water body can impact the physical, -chemical, and biological integrity as well as the beneficial uses of the water body. Therefore, storm water treatment and/orimitigation in accordance with SUSMPs and any other requirements of this Order must occur prior to the discharge of storm water into a water of the U.S. 20. The Regional Board supports.a WatershedFManagement Approach to address water quality protection in the region. The objective of the Watershed` Management Approach should be tolprovide a comprehensive'and integrated strategy towards -water resource protection, enhancement, and restoration while balancing economic and environmental impacts*within, a hydrologically d6fined drainage basin or watershed.. it emphasizes cooperative refetionships between regulatory agencies, the regulated community, environmental groups, and other stakeholders in the watershed to achieve'the greatest environmental improvements with available resources. 21. To promote a-watershedmanagement approach, the County of Los Angeles is dividedinto six Watershed Management Areas (WMAs) as follows: Malibu Creek and Rural Santa Monica Bay WMA Baliona Creek and Urban Santa. Monica Bay WMA Los Angeles River WMA San Gabriel River WMA Dominguez Channel/Los-Angeles Harbor WMA, and Santa Clara River WMA Attachment A shows the list of Permittees under each WMA and some Permittees have expressed an intent to form sub -watershed groups within the WMA to promote regional solutions for the mitigation..of storm water discharge. pollution. 22. To facilitate compliance with federal regulations, the State Board has Issued two statewide general NPDES permits for storm water discharges: one for storm water from industrial sites [NPDES No. CAS000001, General Industrial Activity Storm Water Permit (GIASP)] and the other for storm water from construction sites [NPDES No. CAS000002, General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit (GCASP)]. The GCASP was .reissued on August 19, 1999. The GIASP was reissued on April 17, 1997. Facilities,discharging storm water associated with industrial activities and construction projects with a disturbed ;area of five acres or more are require, to obtain individual NPDES permits for storm water discharges, or to be covered by a statewide general permit by completing and filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the State Board. The USEPA guidance anticipates coordination of the state -administered programs for December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 -12 - Order No. 01.182 industrial and construction activities with the local. agency program to reduce pollutants In stone water discharges to the MS4. The Regional Board is the enforcement authority in the Los Angeles Region for the two statewide general permits regulating discharges from Industrial facilities and -construction sites, and all NPDES storm water and non -storm water permits issued by the Regional Board. These industrial and construction sites and discharges are also regulated under local laws and regulations. ' 23. The State Board, on October 28, 1968, adopted Resolution No. 68-16, which established an anti -degradation policy for the State and Regional •Boards. This policy restricts the degradation of surface waters and protects waterbodies where existing -water quality is higher than is necessary for the protection -of: beneficial uses. 24. The State.Board, on June 17, 1999, adopted Order No. WO 99-05, which,'in a precedentialfdecision, identifies acceptable receiving water limitatioris language to be Included in municipal storm water permits Issued by'thb State and Regional Boards. The receiving water limitations included herein are consistent with the State Board Order, USEPA.Policy, and the U.S. Appellate court decision in, Defenders of WildI fe v. Browner (e-. Cir, 1999). The State -Board OCC has determined that the federal court decision did not conflict with.State Board Order No. WQ 99-05 (memorandum dated October 14, 1999) 25. 26. 27. December 13, 2001 California Water Code (CWC) § 13263(a) requires that waste discharge requirements issued by the Regional Board shall implement any relevant water quality control plans that'have been adopted; shall take into consideration the beneficial uses to be protected and the water quality objectives reasonably required for that purpose; other waste discharges; the need to prevent nuisance; and provisions of CWC § 13241. The Regional Board has consldered the requirements of § 13263 and § 13241, and applicable plans, policies, rules, and regulations in developing these waste discharge requirements. CWC § 13370 et seq. requires that waste discharge requirements issued by the Regional Boards be consistent with provisions of the federal CWA and its amendments. On March 12 2001., the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that it Is necessary to'obtain'a NPDES permit for application of aquatic pesticides to waterways. (Headwaters, Inc. vs. Talent Irrigation District, 243 F.3d. 526 (e Cir., 2001)) This decision Is controlling In California for nonagricultural applications of pesticides to.waterways. The.State'Board adopted a general NPDES permit (Order No. 2001-12-DWQ) on July 19, 2001, for public entities that discharge pollutants to waters of the U.S. associated with the application of aquatic pesticides for resource or pest management. Public entities that conduct such activities must seek coverage under the general permit. r r,. r NPDES CAS004001 -13 - Order No. 01-182 F. implementation 1. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 21000 of seq.) requires that public agencies consider the environmental Impacts of theprojects they approve for development. CEQA applies to projects that are considered discretionary and does not apply to ministerial projects, which Involve the use of established standards or objective measurements. _A ministerial project may be made discretionary by adopting local ordinance provisions or imposing conditions to create decision -making discretion In approving the project. In the alternative, Permittees may establish standards and objective criteria administratively for storm water mitigation for ministerial projects. For water quality purposes, the Regional Board considers that all new development and significant redevelopment activity. In specified categories, that receive approval or permits from a municipality, are subject to storm water mitigation requirements. 2. The objective of this Order is to protect the beneficial uses of receiving waters in Los Angeles County.. To meet this objective, this Order requires that the SQMP specify BMPs that will be implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants in storm water to the maximum extent practicable. Further, Permittees are to assure that storm water discharges from-the_MS4 shall neither cause nor contribute to the exceedance of water quality standards and objectives nor create conditions of nuisance in the receiving waters, and that the discharge of non -storm water to the MS4 has been effectively prohibited. 3. The SQMP required In this Order builds upon the programs established in Order Nos. 90-079, and 96-054, consists of the components recommended in the USEPA guidance manual, and was developed with the cooperation of representatives from the regulated community and environmental groups. The SQMP.includes provisions that promote customized initiatives, both on a countywide and watershed basis, in developing and Implementing cost-effective measures to minimize discharge of pollutants to the receiving water. The various components of the SQMP, taken as a whole rather than individually, are expected to reduce pollutants in storm water and urban runoff to the maximum extent practicable. Provisions of the SQMP are fully enforceable under provisions of this Order. 4. The emphasis of the SQMP Is pollution prevention through education, public outreach, planning, and implementation as source control BMPs first and then Structural and Treatment Control BMPs next. Successful Implementation of the provisions of the SQMP will require cooperation and coordination of all public agencies in each Permittee's organization, among Permittees, and with the regulated community. 5. The implementation of a Public Information and Participation Program Is a critical component of a storm water management -program. An informed and knowledgeable community is critical to the success of a storm water management program since it helps insure the following: (1) greater support for the program as the public gains a greater understanding of December 13, 2001 I NPDES CAB004001 -14 - Order No. 01-182 the reasons why it is necessary and important, and (11) greater compliance with the program as the public becomes aware of the personal responsibilities expected of them and others in the community, Including the individual actions they can take to protect or Improve the quality of area waters. 6. This Order includes a Monitoring Program that Incorporates Minimum Levels (MLs) established under the SIP. The SiP's MLs represent the lowest quantifiable concentration for priority toxic pollutants that is measurable with the use of proper method -based analytical procedures and factoring out matrix interference. The SIP's MLs therefore represent the best available science for determining MLs and are appropriate for a storm water monitoringprogram. The use of MLs allows the detection of toxic -priority pollutants at concentrations of concem using recent _ advances In chemical analytical methods. 7. This Order provides flexibility for Permittees to petition the Regional Board; Executive Officer to substitute a BMP under the SQMP with an alternative BMP, If they can provide information and documentation on the effectiveness of the altemative, equal to or greater than the prescribed BMP in meeting the objectives of this Order. 8. This Order contemplates that the Permittees are responsible for considering potential storm water impacts when making planning t decisions in order to fulfill the Permittees' CWA requirement to reduce the discharge of pollutants in municipal storm water to the MEP from new j development and redevelopment activities. However, the Permittees retain authority to make the final land -use decisions and retain full statutory authority for deciding what land uses are appropriate at specific r locations within each Permittee's jurisdiction. This Order and its `to requirements are not Intendedrestrict or control local land use decision -making authority. 9. This Order is not Intended to prohibit the inspection for or abatement of vectors by the State Department of Health Services or local vector agencies in accordance with Cal. Health and Safety Code § 2270 et seq. and §116110 et seq. Certain Treatment Control BMPs if not properly . designed, operated or maintained may create habitats for vectors (e.g. mosquito and rodents). This Order contemplates that the Permittees will closely cooperate and collaborate with .local vector control agencies and ; the State Department of Health Services for the implementation, operation, and maintenance of Treatment. Control BMPs in order to minimize the risk to public health from vector borne diseases. G. Public Process 1. The Regional Board has notified the Permittees and interested agencies - and persons of its intent to issue waste discharge requirements for this discharge, and has provided them with an opportunity to submit their �- wrrtten view and recommendations. l December 13, 2001 NPDES CAS004001 -15 - Order No. 01-182 2. The Regional Board, in a public hearing, heard and considered all comments pertaining to the discharge.and to the tentative requirements: 3. The Regional Board has conducted public workshops to discuss drafts of the permit. On April 24, 2001, Regional Board staff conducted a workshop outlining the reasoning behind the changes proposed for the new permit and received Input from the`Permittees and the public regarding those proposed changes. On July 26, 2001, a second public workshop was held at a special Regional Board meeting. The Permiitees and the public had another opportunity to express their opinions regarding the proposed changes to the permit in front of the Regional Board members. A significant number of working meetings with the Permittees and other interested parties have occurred throughout the period from the submittal of the ROWD. and completion of the tentative draft, in an attempt to incorporate and address all the comments presented. 4. The Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the County of Los Angeles and the other municipalities are co-permittees as defined in 40 CFR 122.26 (b)(1). Los. Angeles County Flood Control District will coordinate with the other municipalities and facilitate program Implementation. Each Permittee is responsible only for a discharge for which it is the operator. 5. This Order shall serve as a NPDES Permit, pursuant to CWA § 402, or amendments thereto, and shall take effect 50 days from Order adoption provided the Regional Administrator of the USEPA has no objections. 6. The action to adopt an NPDES permit is exempt from the provisions of Chapter 3 of CEQA (Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 21100 et seq.), in accordance with CWC.§ 13389. 7. Pursuant to CWC §13320, any aggrieved party may seek review of this Order by filing a petition with the State Board. A. petition must be sent to: State Water,Resources Control Board, P.O. Box 100, Sacramento, California, 95812, within 30 days of adoption of the Order by the Regional Board. 8. This Order may be modified or alternatively revoked or reissued prior to Its expiration date, in accordance with the procedural requirements of the NPDES program, and the CWC for the issuance of waste discharge requirements.
