TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Doug Dancs, P.E. Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION
SYSTEM AUTHORIZED INSPECTORS AGREEMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will authorize a Water Quality Ordinance Implementation
Agreement Number D02 -129 for the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Authorized Inspectors between the Orange County Flood Control District and the City of Seal
Beach.
BACKGROUND:
In response to Amendment 1087 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the NPDES permit. This program addresses
sources of storm water runoff that has the greatest potential to negatively impact water quality.
The County of Orange Public Facilities and Resources Department administers the County
permit for the State of California, and Seal Beach is a co- permitee along with other
Governmental Agencies.
This agreement will allow the District to be named as the Authorized Inspector for the City of
Seal Beach in the event of a major or substantial water pollution incident response, clean up
and/or enforcement activities associated with any ongoing investigations. Seal Beach Public
Works staff will remain as the first response inspectors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of this agreement is $528 annually and ongoing call out cost will be billed on an hourly
basis. There is funding available within the Storm Drain intergovernmental account. If it is
anticipated that additional funding is required for additional inspection, a budget amendment will
be required and brought to the City Council.
Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon motion of the consent calendar, it is recommended that the City Council approve the
agreement with the Orange County Flood Control District for the Authorized Inspectors.
