SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE
ELIMINATION SYSTEM AUTHORIZED INSPECTORS
AGREEMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will authorize a renewal of the 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.
In February 2003, the City Council authorized the original Water Quality Ordinance
Implementation Agreement Number (D02 -129). This agreement allowed 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 still served as the first response
inspectors. This original agreement had a two -year term and is therefore up for renewal.
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.
