CC City Manager Nealis presented the staff report. In response to Councilmember Lay, City Manager Nealis stated that this project would consist of the evaluation of the Best Management Practices relating to the control of pollutants entering into storm drains that have already been implemented in the cities in the consortium. Principal Planner Ungar reported that the City of Santa Monica will be taking the lead role in this evaluation. She said that they will solicit competitive bids from outside contractors to conduct the study. In response to Councilmember Heinsheimer, City Attorney Jenkins reported that there would be no immediate consequences if the City did not participate in this project. Councilmember Heinsheimer expressed concern regarding the effect of this project on private property in Rolling Hills. In response, City Attorney Jenkins stated that a field study of the effectiveness of storm drains would be done to measure the prevention of allowing pollutants from entering the ocean. He stated that most likely the focus will be on areas with a heavy industrial population. City Manager Nealis stated that in the context of developing the Best Management Practices, the City was able to voice concerns for its limited ability to affect run-off. He also said that the City was able to implement locally acceptable Best Management Practices and that they have not had an adverse effect on the way people operate within the community. He stated that entering into this agreement demonstrates our commitment to those practices that have been implemented. City Attorney Jenkins stated that he fells that it would be beneficial to the City to show its commitment to this project. Councilmember Lay moved that the City Council approve the agreement. Councilmember Hill seconded the motion. Councilmember Heinsheimer expressed concern regarding the authority for an inspector to enter Rolling Hills to inspect catch basins. Councilmember Lay stated that he feels that the City would be more conspicuous by its absence. In response to Councilmember Heinsheimer, City Manager Nealis reported that the Cities of Palos Verdes Estates and Rolling Hills Estates have approved this agreement. He stated that Rancho Palos Verdes will consider the matter on March 11, 1996. City Attorney Jenkins explained the drafting of the agreement and stated that the cities of West Hollywood, Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills have also approved the agreement. He further explained that most likely, catch basis that are in areas that are more prone to industrial pollutants flowing into the streets will be selected for review. In response to Councilmember Heinsheimer, City Attorney Jenkins explained that the City will be a part of the technical committee and can influence the scope of services that will be provided in terms of where the investigation occurs. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Hill, Lay and Mayor Pernell. NOES: Councilmember Heinsheimer. ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Murdock. ABSTAIN: None.

CALIF. 90274 (310)377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 Agenda Item No.: 3d Mtg. Date 2/12/07 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: YOLANTA SCHWARTZ, PLANNING DIRECTOR THROUGH: ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT INCLUDING THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT (NPDES), TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL) REQUIREMENTS AND RELATED ISSUES. BACKGROUND 1. Attached is a status report prepared by Kathleen McGowan, P.E., consultant to the City, on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements and related storm water and urban runoff program activities. 2. Ms. McGowan will be present at the City Council meeting and will answer any questions the Council may have. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report, or if there are any questions, any Councilmember may pull the item from the Consent Agenda. Au/ice/on Receded PoD r Kathleen McGowan, P.E. Council Update Date: February 6, 2007 Re: City of Rolling Hills NPDES & TMDL Program Activities and Issues This update summarizes program activities conducted to comply with the requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board's (Regional Board) Order No. 01-182, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (NPDES permit) for municipal storm water and urban runoff discharges jointly issued to the County of Los Angeles and 84 incorporated cities. Also included in this update is current information on the status of various water quality -related issues of importance to the City of Rolling Hills. NPDES Program Management The City's 2005-2006 Annual Report under the NPDES permit was completed on time and submitted electronically to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) for incorporation into the unified County -wide annual report. At the invitation of staff I met with the new City Manager to brief him on status of the City's NPDES program. The City of Rolling Hills is in compliance with applicable permit requirements —because of the lack of industrial or commercial zoning within the City,. and the fact that streets are privately owned, many of the NPDES permit requirements do not apply to the City. Accordingly, most of the City's NPDES permit compliance activities are focused on new development/redevelopment planning and construction requirements, as well as applicable public outreach programs. The County of Los Angeles, as the designated Principal Permittee, is responsible for coordinating and facilitating permit activities among the Permittees. The County manages the electronic annual reporting system, acts as liaison between the Permittees and the Regional Board staff, provides technical and fiscal resources for updating the storm water quality management plan, convenes the required quarterly Watershed Management Committees (WMCs) and Public Outreach Strategy meetings as well as the Executive Advisory Committee meetings, and implements a Countywide Monitoring Program. It is the City's responsibility under the permit to participate in the required coordination activities with the County and to comply with those permit requirements that are applicable to the City, many of which are met through contract services with the County Building & Safety Division. Although the land area within the City drains to two different watersheds, the Santa Monica Bay and the Dominguez Channel, for administrative purposes the City has been assigned to participate in the Santa Monica Bay-Ballona Creek Watershed Management Committee (WMC). This WMC meets on a quarterly basis and I represent the City at those meetings and provide meeting notes and obtain input from City staff for feedback to the WMC. NPDES Permit Renewal The current NPDES permit expired on December 12, 2006. The Permittees were required to submit an application for permit renewal by June 12, 2006; this document is known as a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) and essentially summarized the joint activities of the Permittees under the permit and made suggested revisions to the permit. The County held a number of general Permittee meetings to discuss the formation a steering committee to direct the development of the Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD). The steering committee met twice per month from January through June of 2006 and ultimately the County submitted one ROWD on behalf of most of the Permittees, while a few dissenting Permittees submitted separate ROWDs. I did not participate on the steering committee directly, but did provide input on issues of concern to the City through our WMC representative to the steering committee. The Regional Board has not yet issued the new permit, so the County and co-Permittees continue to implement the ongoing programs in the expired permit. Public Information and Participation The County public affairs staff holds mandatory quarterly Public Outreach Strategy meetings for Permittees and I represent the City at those meetings and provide City staff with meeting notes and information relevant to our own outreach programs. Through these interactions with County staff and their consultant, Ogilvy, we are able to obtain public education materials at little or no cost to the City in order to meet the City's public outreach obligations under the NPDES permit. These materials include brochures, tip cards, premiums, and videos. I am currently working with County public affairs staff on behalf of several clients to encourage the development a County -wide pool & spa best management practices brochure. The City also cooperates with sister cities on the Peninsula to leverage resources in conducting required local public outreach activities. For the past several years the City has jointly sponsored with the City of Rolling Hills Estates a public education booth at the Peninsula Street Fair where teen volunteers from a local Girl Scout Troop conduct hands-on demonstrations using the Enviroscape® Model to show how daily activities contribute to water quality impairments. The teen volunteers also hand out premiums donated by the County (pencils, auto trash bags, etc.) along with brochures. The City cooperates with all cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula to run a 1/4 page, full -color public outreach ad four times per year in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News. The ad is running on specific days of promotional circulation when distribution jumps to 24,000 copies so that every household on the Palos Verdes Peninsula receives the issue with our ad. I disseminated information on the Coastal Commission's Art and Poetry contest to fine art and science faculty at Rancho Del Mar High School and provided the science teacher copies of a video entitled The Clean Water Act & Our Backyards developed by the RCD of the Santa Monica Mountains. Development Planning The City implements the NPDES requirements for development planning primarily through contract services with the County Building & Safety Division for plan checking and construction inspections, including inspections for compliance with erosion control plans and Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plans (SUSMP) for new development, when required. I conduct annual training of City staff as required in the permit to make sure the staff is up-to-date with the latest planning requirements and regulatory/enforcement issues in the NPDES permit. I keep track of • Page 2 regulatory changes and enforcement activities by the Regional Board and work with City staff and the City attorney in anticipating and responding to these changes. A recent such issue is described below. 'Clarificatory' Letter Last spring (2006) various cities began receiving notices of violation (NOV) letters related to development projects they had approved under the NPDES permit provisions. LA County also received an NOV letter related to approval of an apartment building project. The NOVs cited the cities and the County for failing to require design elements that included infiltration as a key component of storm water quality protections or "best management practices", BMPs. In discussions with Regional Board staff, County staff expressed the Permittees' belief that the Regional Board staff had misinterpreted the permit requirements and that the NPDES requirements provide for either storm water treatment OR infiltration, but does not require infiltration to meet the numerical standards for development projects. In response to these concerns, the Regional Board Executive Officer issued a `clarificatory' letter dated December 15, 2006 [three days after formal expiration of the current permit]. Several points in the six -page letter that are of relevance to the City include: • Essential requirements for compliance with the Development Planning provisions of the MS4 permit are to maximize percentage of pervious surfaces and minimize storm water directed to impervious surfaces and the storm drain system • Permittees must minimize the percentage of impervious surfaces by reducing the effective impervious area to 5% or less of total project area —[in the recent draft Ventura County MS4 NPDES Permit the Board staff defines "effective impervious area" as that portion of impervious area that is hydrologically connected via sheet flow or conveyance to a drainage system or receiving water body, however this has not previously been defined in our current permit nor is this requirement explicitly stated in our permit] • Emphasis of low impact development The County technical and legal staff responded with a letter disagreeing with the `clarificatory' letter and requesting that the letter be withdrawn [unlikely]. Based on conversations among various cities' staff at recent meetings, it seems that most of us interpret this clarificatory letter as a "shot across the bow" to Permittees indicating what will be expected under the next permit. Some city staffs have begun working to accomplish some of the objectives of the `clarificatory' letter in discussions with developers during planning review as well as plan check. When developers balk, city staffs are providing copies of the `clarificatory' letter as well as explaining the likelihood of delays in closing out projects with general construction permits when the Regional Board is not willing to issue a notice of termination. County Building & Safety staff has indicated that if contract cities wish to modify the approach that is being taken to deal with the NPDES permit requirements through contract services, County staff is willing to work with City staff to do so. The City of Rolling Hills may be in a better position than most cities to deal with this since many of the City's development standards already provide a relatively high level of impervious surfaces, and roof drains are routinely diverted away from manufactures slopes and into a designated infiltration area. At this time, only projects that disturb an acre or more and require coverage under the General Construction Permit are likely to be subject to scrutiny from the Regional Board. However, achieving the 5% effective impervious area will most likely require changes in development standards and/or ordinances. If a project • Page 3 is subject to concems about unstable geology, it would be a good idea for this to be clearly documented and supported by technical evidence as a rationale for directing flow to storm drains rather than infiltrating. Development Construction The City implements the development construction requirements of the NPDES permit through contract services with the County Building & Safety Division for issuing construction permits. The Regional Board staff has issued a report on its audit of five Permittees' implementation of the Development Construction Program under the NPDES permit. I reviewed this report and prepared a memorandum summarizing key issues for planning staff. This item will be a subject for discussion during annual planning staff training to assist in interactions with County Building & Safety staff. Public Agency Activities Program The City's maintenance activities associated with the City Hall complex are the primary public agency activities subject to the NPDES permit. I support the staff in this by incorporating training for this program in my periodic meetings with City staff and by assisting City staff with inserting appropriate provisions in contracts for the maintenance work. Sanitary Sewer Overflow Regulations City staff has established that the City owns less than one mile of sanitary sewers so the City is exempt from the new statewide waste discharge requirements for wastewater collection systems. We notified the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District of the City's exempt status. The City will still carry out its obligations to manage the City -owned portions of the sewer collection system through its agreement with the LA County Consolidated Sewer Maintenance Districts; however the City will not be required to implement the new reporting system and to develop a new sanitary sewer system maintenance plan. Illicit Connection & Illicit Discharge Elimination We notified LACDPW staff that there were no incidents of illegal discharges within the City of Rolling Hills during the period from October 2005 to September 2006 so that this information could be incorporated into the County's trend analysis for the NPDES permit. Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) On September 2, 2004 the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Order No. R4- 2004-0146 General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Residential Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) —this is equivalent to an NPDES permit for residential septic systems. However, this WDR provided for a waiver from direct permitting of these residential septic systems by the Regional Board if a Qualified Local Agency (i.e., the City) would enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Regional Board to regulate the septic systems instead. The City of Rolling Hills did enter into such an MOU, following a template created by the County of Los Angeles, that allows the City to continue to regulate septic systems through its contract services with County Building and Safety and with oversight from County Department of Health Services. Through our comments on the rulemaking along with those of the County and other cities, we were also able to convince the Regional Board to delay implementation of more stringent requirements on septic systems until the State Water Resources Control Board (the Regional Board's parent agency) issues statewide standards for septic systems. The Regional Board • Page 4 reluctantly agreed to delay the more stringent regulations; however they advised us that if the State Board did not move to enact the statewide requirements in a timely manner, they would go forward with their own requirements. Assembly Bill 885, signed into law by the governor on September 28, 2000, requires the adoption of statewide standards or regulations for onsite sewage disposal systems (septic systems) by the State Water Resources Control Board. Once these rules become effective, the County of Los Angeles and the City will be required to update plumbing and health codes to conform to the minimum requirements of the statewide regulations. The State Board staff has been delayed in issuing these regulations —they last held a final workshop on the proposed regulations in December of 2005, however final regulations have not yet been issued. I will continue to track these pending regulations and advise City staff once they are issued. Total Maximum Daily Loads Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires that each state identify and prepare a list of impaired water bodies, those that do not meet water quality standards for their designated uses. Section 303(d) further requires that each state establish total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for each pollutant that is causing impairment of a water body to limit the discharge of this pollutant and ensure attainment of water quality standards. Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL Jurisdictional Group 7 has finalized the Memorandum of Agreement for carrying out the Implementation Plan for the Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL as required by Regional Board Resolution No. 2002-004 establishing dry -weather bacteria limits for Santa Monica Bay beaches and Resolution No. 2002- 022 establishing wet -weather bacteria limits for Santa Monica Bay beaches. These TMDLs address bacteriological water quality impairments at beaches from the Los Angeles/Ventura County line to the Outer Cabrillo Beach, just south of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. City Council approved the Jurisdictional Group 7 MOA in November 2006. Jurisdictional Group 7 consists of the areas of the Palos Verdes Peninsula draining to Santa Monica Bay and the agencies with jurisdiction over these areas including: the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Los Angeles, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates and the County of Los Angeles. Jurisdictional Group 7 representatives last met in June 2006. Now that the MOA has been finalized, meeting frequency will be on an as -needed basis to carry out joint obligations which include: conducting required shoreline monitoring, initiating investigations at identified out -of -compliance beaches, and preparing reports as required by the Regional Board. In September 2006 the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board held a public hearing to reopen the municipal stormwater NPDES permit and incorporate the provisions of the Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL to make them enforceable through the permit. During the comment period leading up to the hearing, I worked with City staff and the City Attorney to establish the City's position and provide comments on the revised permit language. We were successful in obtaining requested language changes. On a related issue, the State Water Resources Control Board reversed its earlier proposed removal of Palos Verdes Peninsula beaches from the 303d list justifying that decision based on circular logic that the beaches should remain listed because they are subject to an approved TMDL. I summarized this change in policy in a memo to City staff and forwarded my analysis to Executive Advisory Committee (EAC) staff • Page 5 who was able to incorporate our concerns about this issue into a comment letter from EAC on the 303d List as a whole. Dominguez Watershed/LA Harbor TMDLs Various sections of the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles Harbor are on the California 303d list as impaired for a variety of pollutants including: ammonia (nitrogen), lead, zinc, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., PCBs) and bacteria. In September, Regional Board staff held a CEQA Scoping meeting for the upcoming Dominguez/LA Harbor Metals and Toxics TMDLs to which the City will likely be subject for areas which drain to the Dominguez Channel or LA Harbor. I attended the CEQA Scoping meeting and provided verbal technical and regulatory input along with many other municipal consultants and City staff members. Because of the complexity of this watershed system and the extensive modeling efforts that are underway to develop these TMDLs, it is unlikely that these TMDLs will be issued before 2008. Machado Lake TMDLs The Machado Lake Subwatershed has been separated from the Dominguez Watershed/LA Harbor and separate TMDLs will be developed for Machado Lake for the pollutants identified as causing impairment, currently: ammonia/nitrogen, chlordane, DDT, PCBs, Dieldrin and trash (but not bacteria or metals). Adoption of the Machado Lake TMDLs is not anticipated before 2008. It seems likely that the Machado Lake TMDL for trash will be issued first since the Regional Board can use the trash TMDLs already issued for the LA River and Ballona Creek as a model. The Regional Board staff held a CEQA Scoping Meeting for the upcoming Machado Lake Trash TMDL in December 2006 and I represented the City at that meeting where I along with numerous other municipal representatives provided technical and regulatory input. I have been representing the City at the bi-monthly Dominguez Watershed Action Committee meetings which includes stakeholders from the Dominguez Watershed as well as the Machado Lake Subwatershed. This group is focused on facilitating the implementation of the Dominguez Watershed Management Master Plan which was completed through a State grant to the County of Los Angeles. Stakeholders are strongly supportive of habitat restoration activities by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy in George F Canyon and open space preservation and habitat restoration in the Portuguese Bend Preserve —such activities are considered to be an integral part of water quality protection. • Page 6 o April 15, 2002 City 0/ leollinv INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 ' NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377.7288 E-mail: cityofrh@aol.com Mr. Paul Maselbas, P.E.

BOX 1460 ALHAMBRA, CALIFORNIA 91802-1460 IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO FILE: PD -6 The combined City, County, and State storm drain system in Los Angeles County includes tens of thousands of catch basins, which collect runoff during rainstorms. These same catch basins also collect a large amount .of debris during our dry season. This accumulated debris, if not removed before the onset of the next storm season, will be discharged into the ocean and may increase the likelihood of localized flooding. The County Board of Supervisors has recommended a Countywide emphasis on catch basin cleaning prior to the onset of the storm season. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Stormwater Permit requires each Permittee City to comply with its Model program concerning catch basin maintenance. If you have not yet done so, we urge your City to implement your catch basin cleaning program. Each year, Public Works administers several catch basin cleaning programs. Each program consists of approximately 9,000 catch basins. In the past few years, the contract and inspection cost for cleaning each catch basin has been between $16 and $23. We have found this program to be a very effective and cost-efficient way of assuring that catch basins are cleaned prior to the onset of the storm season. We are in the process of preparing the contracts for this year. If you are interested in having us clean your City's catch basins, please provide a City Service Request or Purchase Order as well as two sets of maps, which clearly indicate the locations of your catch basins to us by April 18, 2002. Mr. Craig Nealis April 3, 2002 Page 2 If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Mr. Paul H. Maselbas, your City Services representative, at (626) 458-3918.

CA0061654- CI6948 ISSUED -BY THE CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, LOS ANGELES REGION (CRWQCB), AND AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. BACKGROUND Los Angeles County and Co-Permittees (Phase I includes 22 cities and counties) are each required to adopt a water pollution control ordinance regulating stormwater/urban runofff discharges to the storm drain system in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA or EPA) and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB), Los Angeles Region, Waste Discharge Requirements. In conformance with these requirements, staff prepared the attached draft ordinance which has been tailored to the climate, geology and topography of the City of Rolling Hills. Note that the provisions provide private and public practices to prevent toxic materials from entering the storm drain system that could pollute the beaches and waters of the Santa Monica Bay. On May 18, 1993, the Planning Commission approved.'Resolution No. 93-20 recommending that the City Council approve the;,proposed storm water runoff ordinance. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council open the Public Hearing, review the draft document and if it meets with your approval, adopt Ordinance No. 241. Printed on Recycled Paper. RESOLUTION NO. 93-20 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL ORDINANCE FOR THE REDUCTION OF RUNOFF AND POLLUTANTS LEAVING A PROPERTY OR PROPERTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMIT NO. CA0061654-CI6948 ISSUED BY THE CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, LOS ANGELES REGION (CRWQCB) AND AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HIT IS DOES HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City of Rolling Hills as a co-permittee under the NPDES Municipal Permit is obligated to implement Best Management Practice (BMP) procedures for the control of storm water runoff along natural drainage courses and into the County storm drain system and prepare an active program to adopt "good housekeeping" practices to reduce runoff toxicity and runoff volume from private and publicly owned properties which will be newly developed, substantially rehabilitated or redeveloped in the future. Section 2. In compliance with the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA or EPA), the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, Waste Discharge Requirements for Stormwater/Urban Runoff Discharge for Los Angeles County and Co-Permittees, a draft Ordinance was prepared that was tailored to the climate, geology, and topography of the City of Rolling Hills. Section 3. On March 16, 1993, April 27, 1993, and May 18, 1993, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the recommended Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance pursuant to the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Section 4. With respect to the environmental impacts of the proposed Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance, the Planning Commission finds that the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment and hereby recommends that the City Council approve the Negative Declaration for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. After considering the information presented during the public hearing on this matter, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed Storm Water Runoff Control additions to the Zoning Code comply with the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Waste Discharge Requirements for Stormwater/Urban Runoff Discharge for the following reasons: Resolution No. 93-20 1 (a) The draft Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance: (1) Provides for good housekeeping practices for development projects in the City; (2) Regulates "good housekeeping" requirements for reduction of urban runoff at existing properties; (3) Regulates urban runoff for new development and projects under construction; (4) Encourages a City-wide urban runoff pollution education program; and (5) Includes an annual evaluation program. .(b) The draft Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance is consistent with the goals and requirements of the General Plan, including but not limited to, promoting the guidelines and procedures for control of the quality of the storm drainage runoff from the City of Rolling Hills that could pollute the beaches and waters of the Santa Monica Bay. Section 6. Based upon the findings contained in Section 5 of this Resolution, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed draft Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 18th d�_oLMay,-X993.___ ACTING CHAIRMAN ATTEST: MARILYN L.

CA0061654-C16948 ISSUED BY THE CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, LOS ANGELES REGION (CRWQCB) AND AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council makes the following findings with respect to the adoption of this Ordinance: THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES ORDAIN AS A. The National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA or EPA)regulates storm water discharges whereby many industries, land development projects over 5 acres and certain public facilities are required to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for their storm water discharges; B. In compliance with NEPA, The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, adopted Waste Discharge Requirements for Stormwater/Urban Runoff Discharge for Los Angeles County and Co- Perniittees and the City of Rolling Hills was included with those cities that discharge into the Santa Monica Bay; C. The City of Rolling Hills as a co-permittee under the NPDES Municipal Permit is obligated to implement Best Management Practice (BMP) procedures for the control of storm water runoff along natural drainage courses and into the County storm drain system and prepare an active program to adopt "good housekeeping" practices is essential to reduce runoff toxicity and runoff volume from private and publicly owned properties which will be newly developed, substantially rehabilitated or redeveloped in the future; D. Storm water runoff flows from individual properties onto the streets, roads, trails and canyons along natural drainage courses to the Pacific Ocean. It is therefore in the public interest to ensure that private drainage systems are properly maintained, in order to facilitate natural drainage within the City of Rolling Hills and the County's storm and surface water drainage system, and to prevent pollutants from entering the Santa Monica Bay portion of the Pacific Ocean; E. The , of Rolling Hills is a unique, well ____blished residential community where development consists almost exclusively of single-family residential houses on large estate -size lots and existing non-residential development in the community consists of City administration, fire, and school maintenance public facilities; • F. • All streets, roads, and trails are privately owned and maintained by the Rolling Hills Community Association; and G. The City of Rolling Hills is determined to preserve the natural environment of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and it is in the best interest of the City to establish guidelines . and procedures for control of the quality of storm drainage runoff from sites within the City that could pollute the beaches and waters of the Santa Monica Bay. Section 2. The City Council finds that the adoption of this program is a project which will not have a significant effect on the environment. The City Council adopts a Negative Declaration for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 3. Section 17.27.030 is added to Title 17 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, to read: "17.27.030 STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL A.
