SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A STORM WATER QUALITY
MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will pass a resolution to adopt a Storm Water Quality
Management Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City was successful in securing funding within the FY 1999/2000 State budget in the
amount of$450,000 to improve beach and ocean water quality. Of the amount, $150,000
was dedicated for a comprehensive study to look at the San Gabriel River watershed and
develop strategies for combating water pollution at the sources along with a Master Plan
for the City's ongoing water quality improvement program. The report is complete and
has been reviewed Citizens Oversight Committee.
The first part of the plan covers an introduction of terms, geographical boundaries, and
current local and watershed strategy. The second covers an assessments of the following:
water resources, water quality objectives, existing conditions, state monitoring programs,
receiving water characterization and watersheds, and overall watershed assessments. It
then goes on to discuss planning to target the technical, financial, and educational
resources of the City to specific management activities in order to prioritize resources.
Lastly it discusses implementation of the program including best management practices,
compliance with our third term NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System) permit and the Orange County DAMP (Drainage Area Management Plan) as
well as accountability. The table in section 4.6 delineates where each of the requirements
is cover in the Storm Water Quality Management Plan. There is also an accountability
section matrix that will be used to track the City's implementation of the various
components of the plan.
This report will provide a basis for implementing capital projects specifically related to 8
water quality, a mechanism to obtain future funding sources for those projects, an outline , •

On behalf of the Storm Water Quality Management Plan Oversight Committee, we are pleased to present the
final draft for city council's approval. Each of the committee members listed below provided valuable
input and insight to the construction of this plan. We are confident we have identified the key issues facing the
city of Seal Beach and have provided the blueprint to address the needs of our community for the future.
In summary the plan calls for a 5 point implementation, including:
1)public education and participation
2)legislation/advocacy
3) enforcement
4)treatment
5)testing& monitoring
The most important element to this plan is utilizing the combined efforts and resources of residents, busi-
nesses, and government. Our combined efforts will make implementation and success of this plan possible.
