INTRODUCTION

On January 29, 2010 the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB) issued a "Fourth-term" area-wide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Permit (2010 MS4 Permit) to the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), the County of Riverside (County) and the Cities of Beaumont, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Perris, Riverside, San Jacinto and Wildomar (Cities), for the portion of the Santa Ana River Watershed located within Riverside County (Order No. R8-2010-0033). The 2010 MS4 Permit continues with designating the District as the Principal Permittee. The County and incorporated Cities are designated as Co-Permittees. Figure I-1 shows the portion of Riverside County that is within the jurisdiction of the SARWQCB. The 2010 MS4 Permit incorporates several new programs addressing Low Impact Development, hydromodification, Permittee public works projects, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, mobile businesses, watershed scale planning, urban and MS4 retrofit, De-Minimus and General Construction Permit coordination and program effectiveness assessment. The Permittees are also required to develop Permittee specific implementation manuals called Local Implementation Plans. The Local Implementation Plans describe the specific tools, processes, procedures and resources used by the Permittees to implement the DAMP. The Permittees generally have eighteen months to develop these programs and as such will be reporting on the implementation of the new Permit programs in this annual progress report. During tFiscal Year 10/11, Eastvale residents voted for cityhood and the city has incorporated. Jurupa Valley residents voted for cityhood in 2011. Both cities expressed their intent to be a Co-Permittee of the Santa Ana Region Riverside County MS4 Permit in letters to the SARWQCB dated March 27, 2012 and December 21, 2011, respectively. Recent Permittee activities have been focused on developing programs to comply with the 2010 MS4 Permit, and addressing TMDL impaired water bodies such as Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, and the Middle Santa Ana River. The Permittees have developed Task Forces, pursued grants, and re-evaluated their compliance programs as necessary to ensure that urban runoff does not contribute to these impairments. Major program updates and accomplishments described in this report include:

INTRODUCTION


PROGRAM MANAGEMENT/ADMINISTRATION • The most significant activity conducted during this fiscal year was the continued

development of the revised Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), WQMP Template, Transportation Project Guidance, Revised Consolidated Monitoring Program and Local Implementation Plan template to address the 2010 MS4 Permit.

• Continued participation in the Santa Ana "One Water One Watershed" (OWOW) planning process which focuses on establishing regional solutions for water problems within the Santa Ana Watershed and is intended to develop linkages between all water interests. The objective of OWOW is to encourage and secure resources for the development of multi-benefit projects that use resources and expertise from across disciplines.

• Active participation with California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) with leadership roles in the organization. Specifically: Jason Uhley, Board Member from 2010-present, Legislative Chair since 2003, Treasurer since 2010 and Conference Chair in 2009 and 2010. District staff have also actively participated in the Monitoring & Science, Legislative, Pesticides and Construction Sub-committees.

• Continuation of the Permittees' Management Steering Committee bi-annual meetings. The Management Steering Committee is facilitated through the Western Regional Council of Government’s (WRCOG) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) which consists of the City Managers, Directors of Public Works and other essential Co-Permittee staff. The. Program updates provided to the WRCOG TAC address Urban Runoff management policies for the Permit Area and coordinate the review and necessary revisions to the DAMP, Implementation Agreement, development of the WQMP, and updates regarding CBRP and CNRP implementation. In addition, the Management Steering Committee facilitates coordination with other water quality management and monitoring programs, and responds to new legislative and regulatory initiatives.

• Continued participation in the CASQA Pesticide Sub-committee. The CASQA Pesticide Sub-committee addresses pesticide uses that can impact stormwater discharges and focuses on providing input to the USEPA and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to improve implementation of pesticides regulations so that pesticides more fully protect water quality and are better aligned with the Clean Water Act and California Water Code. District staff's roles included: On behalf of the Permittees, District staff provided input and comments on

several letters to DPR regarding proposed Pesticide Working Group Studies and DPR- and USEPA- proposed voluntary Pesticide Labeling modifications.

District staff was selected to, on behalf of the Permittees, be one of two representatives from Southern California on a state-wide committee to develop a

INTRODUCTION


guidance policy for the proposed Statewide Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing Policy.

The District has also actively participated and funded efforts by the CASQA Pesticides Sub-committee to have designated consultants working for the sub-committee regularly meet with California Department of Pesticide Regulation and US EPA staff regarding these pending regulations and studies.

• The Technical Advisory Committee meetings between the Santa Ana Region and Santa Margarita Region have been split. It was recognized that the Santa Margarita Region Copermittees would be better served through their own separate (and local) Technical Advisory Committee.

MONITORING

• Participated in the Bacterial Source Identification Study for the Middle Santa Ana River. • Through the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition (SMC), the Permittees participated in the

following projects: The Regional Watershed Monitoring Program (RWMP) to address key questions

regarding the health of Receiving Waters in Southern California. The Permittees are currently implementing the bioassessment component (titled "Implementing a Regionally Consistent and Integrated Freshwater Stream Bioassessment Monitoring Program") of the program, aimed at evaluating the health of perennial streams in the San Jacinto and Middle Santa Ana River Watersheds. The Post-Wildfire Monitoring Program to facilitate integrated regional assessment in order to more effectively document the effects of Wildfires, improve regional coordination, and provide a mechanism to communicate the acquired information to municipal, water quality, and other program managers.

The Data Compilation Study to develop a common water quality data infrastructure in Southern California in order to combine data from different MS4 water quality monitoring programs to assess impacts and problems, quantify trends, evaluate the effectiveness of alternative solutions to water quality problems, and establish reference conditions on a regional scale.

The Laboratory Intercalibration Study to determine the coefficient of variation between laboratories and their analyses of a range of constituents. This project involves the submittal of blind water quality samples to measure variability of the analyses within and between participating laboratories. An intercalibration study of toxicity analyses is anticipated in the near future.

The District’s Low Impact Development (LID) Project that aims to develop a comprehensive program to incorporate LID strategies and techniques into the planning and design of public and private sector projects. This LID Project will

INTRODUCTION


include determining key technical and institutional issues that must be addressed for successful implementation, pilot projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of LID, and training and outreach to help solidify an implementation strategy to ensure large-scale and long-term success of programs to implement LID

A Stormwater Monitoring Workshop was held in order to compare and evaluate similarities and differences of each regulated agencies’ NPDES MS4 water quality monitoring programs. Discussions at the workshop will be compiled into a Stormwater Monitoring Guidance Document with the primary goal of providing recommendations and actions that will improve Southern California’s monitoring programs.

• Through the Lake Elsinore and San Jacinto Watersheds Authority (LESJWA), the Permittees have funded studies of activities that could improve water quality within Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake, via projects such as addition of chemicals that bind to Phosphorus and Nitrogen and remove them from the water column, and for Canyon Lake a potential hypolimnetic oxygenation system was studied as an option for in-lake treatment. Monitoring efforts are also being conducted to develop and refine a strategy to maintain beneficial uses in the lake.

• Continued participation in the Stormwater Quality Standards Task Force (SWQSTF). The multi-stakeholder Task Force was formed by Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties to assist the Santa Ana Regional Board in reevaluating the application of the water contact Beneficial Uses (REC-1, REC-2) for Receiving Waters in the Santa Ana River Watershed. The Task Force's goal is to recommend revised Beneficial Use designations for reaches of the Santa Ana River and its tributaries, develop Water Quality Objectives to protect each designated Beneficial Use, and re-examine the appropriateness of the use of fecal coliform bacteria as the most appropriate Water Quality Objective indicator organism;

• Began implementation of the 2010 Consolidated Monitoring Plan (CMP) for in accordance with 2010 NPDES Permit requirements, which includes collection of water quality samples at Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) outfalls and Receiving Waters for a variety of constituents as well as coordinate monitoring efforts for the Canyon Lake/Lake Elsinore TMDL and for the Middle Santa Ana River TMDL development.

TMDL • Continued participation in the Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake Nutrient TMDL Task Force.

The Task Force is formed of stakeholders regulated by the SARWQCB through the Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake Nutrient TMDL (adopted December 17, 2004). The District also participates in another TMDL Task Force for the Reach 3 Santa Ana River Pathogen

INTRODUCTION


Indicator TMDL (adopted August 26, 2005). The purpose of both task forces is to implement joint requirements of the TMDLs and to address these impairments and implement the TMDLs;

• The Permittees developed the Comprehensive Bacteria Reduction Plan (CBRP) for those Permittees named in the Middle Santa Ana River TMDL within Riverside County and submitted the final draft for approval by the Regional Board on June 28, 2011. The CBRP was approved at the SARWQCB held on February 10, 2012. The Co-Permittees have moved to implementation of the CBRP. Progress on CBRP elements is reported in Attachment I.

• The Permittees developed the Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP) for those Permittees named in the Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake Nutrient TMDL within Riverside County. The draft CNRP was submitted on December 31, 2011. Written comments from the SARWQCB were received by the Co-Permittees on April 2, 2012. A revised final draft of the CNRP was submitted to the SARWQCB on July 2, 2012.

NEW DEVELOPMENT • Continued implementation of the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for new

development in accordance with the 2002 MS4 Permit. The Regional Water Quality Control Board – Santa Ana Region (SARWQCB) adopted the WQMP in October 2004. New developments were required to submit a project-specific WQMP for qualified new development and redevelopment projects effective on January 1, 2005. During this reporting period, the Permittees developed a revised WQMP to comply with the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit and submitted to the Regional Board on July 28, 2011. The District received comments from the July 28, 2011 submittal on October 18, 2011. These comments were subsequently addressed and resubmitted back to the Regional Board staff on June 28, 2012. Approval is pending and is anticipated for October 22, 2012.

• Completion of the District's $2.5 million LID Project, whose purpose is to test and evaluate a variety of LID BMPs that serve as hydraulic and hydrologic controls consistent with the LID planning and design approach. The project will also provide a facility that can be used for demonstrating and evaluating the effectiveness of LID BMP techniques in Southern California. The centralized location is convenient for educating residents, regulators, developers, municipal employees, engineers and other interested stakeholders from many Southern California communities. The project Notice of Completion was filed on April 11, 2012.

• The District continues to enhance the LID BMP Design Manual which focuses on landscape-based BMPs capable of addressing identified water quality impairments

INTRODUCTION


across Riverside County. The LID BMP Design Manual is available on the District's NPDES website and may be updated from time-to-time as deemed necessary.

• Participated in the SMC LID BMP study which produced LID Guidance and will develop training materials that can be used by programs throughout Southern California. The LID BMP Testing and Demonstration Facility at the District's headquarters in Riverside is being implemented in cooperation with the SMC project. The facility will be used to monitor the performance of LID features in the field, to illustrate LID features in training workshops, and to assist in the development of technical guidance regarding LID features.

• The District continues to review the WQMPs for development projects within the unincorporated County areas, at the request of the County of Riverside.

• The District continues the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) through which the District will be able to assume public maintenance of LID BMPs of applicable developments within the unincorporated areas of the County. The District’s consultant has completed the plan for the Water Quality Facilities Maintenance District to ensure that maintenance of the post-construction BMPs identified in the District’s recently completed LID BMP manual would be funded by adequate maintenance mechanisms. In May 2012, the County Board of Supervisors, acting as the District’s legislative body ex officio, adopted the LID BMP Manual and ordered the establishment of the Water Quality Facilities Maintenance Community Facilities District. The District is currently establishing the consulting services agreements for the CFD formation and associated legal services.

• The District and County have partnered with Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to update the Lake Mathews Area Drainage Plan (ADP). The existing Lake Mathews ADP was a joint effort of the County, District and MWD and was originally adopted in 1994 and was one of the first ADPs in Riverside County to incorporate water quality mitigation features. The features were intended to provide protection to Lake Mathews. The costs of the constructing ADP facilities are partially offset by associated ADP Developer Fees charged to developments within the watershed. Unfortunately, several of the proposed water quality features were "regional" in nature and incorporated into Receiving Waters. Recent NPDES MS4 Permits include language that indicates regional treatment systems cannot be incorporated into Receiving Waters. Further, the ADP was adopted prior to NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for WQMPs for new development and redevelopment. The WQMP requires new developments to incorporate onsite mitigation that may obviate the need for some of the regional water quality features proposed in the original ADP. For these reasons, the District, County and MWD are partnering to update the Lake Mathews ADP based on current regulatory requirements. The study will include the development of a watershed model that will attempt to

INTRODUCTION


evaluate the effectiveness of the existing water quality mitigation features protecting Lake Mathews, as well as the potential benefits of continued WQMP implementation. The need for additional regional water quality mitigation features will then be evaluated based on the modeling results. The District entered into a cooperative agreement with the County of Riverside and MWD to hire a consultant who is performing the updated watershed evaluation. A schedule for the revised ADP has not yet been established.

• The District partnered with Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) to examine the feasibility of infiltrating urban runoff/stormwater into the Arlington Groundwater Basin. The recharge project would be part of a larger effort to increase the sustainable yield of the Arlington Groundwater Basin. WMWD has completed a study evaluating alternative scenarios. Wildermuth Environmental, WQMD's consultant, evaluated potential negative impacts of the proposed recharge project on the groundwater basin. Proposed recharge facilities will incorporate any necessary mitigation measures to protect the groundwater. The project is expected to incorporate multiple benefits, including increasing the sustainable yield of the Arlington Basin and decreasing pollutant loads (particularly bacteria) to the Santa Ana River. WMWD has circulated a CEQA document for the recharge project. The District also entered into a second agreement to investigate/evaluate specific recharge sites.

PUBLIC ED/TRAINING • Stephen Groner and Associates (SGA) was selected in FY 2010-2011 to assist with

enhancing the Public Education program Some of these enhancements include the creation of new program branding, the beginning stages of rolling out a new, more modern public education website, and further coordination of the school outreach program.

• Continued coordination of the recently formed Public Education Committee with Co-Permittee representation from each watershed to review elements of the regional public education programs and program materials, specifically those new elements discussed above.

• The program continues to update its brochures and posters and develop outreach programs specific to the needs of the watershed. Revisions this year include updates related to new requirements and contact numbers. Completed revisions to existing brochures include the Outdoor Cleaning Activities and Professional Mobile Service Providers and Commercial Facilities.

• Utilized the recently developed Branding for the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program to better convey the purpose and goals of the stormwater program. This program branding will be used in the development of new outreach materials, and

INTRODUCTION


incorporated into major updates to existing materials, to provide a consistent look and feel across all mediums of outreach.

• Continued distribution of the e-newsletter. E-newsletters were sent out quarterly and focus on one key area of pollution prevention in each issue, for a variety of target audiences. The e-newsletter will also be tightly integrated with the revised District website to enhance our ability to outreach to target audiences.

• Continued to provide outreach material for County and District new employee orientation sessions regarding appropriate stormwater stewardship practices including clean water information and promotional items that link back to the County's "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" message. In addition, attendees receive a carry bag containing After the Storm, Outdoor Cleaning Activities, Pool and Spa Maintenance, Pet Care and Tips for Horse Care brochures. Various promotional items that reinforce outreach messages such as dust pans (use dry cleanup methods), imprinted with the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" logo and the 1-800 Toll Free line are also distributed.

IC/ID • Implementing an on-line database to track allowable 3rd party discharges into Permittee

MS4 systems for complaint calls. • Continued implementing the complaint call database for tracking of potential IC/ID

complaints received from the public. • Continued to utillize an Access database to help provide complaint summaries in a more

organized fashion. • Continued financial support for area-wide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Programs,

including Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Response Team, the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events and "ABOP" (Anti-freeze, Batteries, Oil and Paint) program.

CONSTRUCTION The District’s Design and Construction Division and Watershed Protection Division Staff attended QSD/QSP training in order to receive proper certification as required under the Construction General Permit. MUNICIPAL • The District analyzed the effectiveness of its Facility Pollution Prevention Plan (FPPP)

via the annual inspection process and is in the process of revising it. • Continued implementation of a Commercial/Industrial Compliance Assistance Program

(CAP) to conduct focused outreach to restaurants, automotive repair shops and certain other commercial and industrial establishments to encourage implementation of

INTRODUCTION


stormwater BMPs and facilitate consistent and coordinated enforcement of local stormwater quality ordinances. Site visits included use of a survey checklist to document stormwater management practices for each facility. In addition, surveys found to have revealed problems at the inspection site are now scanned and immediately forwarded to the respective Co-Permittee for follow-up.

REPORTING FORMAT The current MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to report on the progress and status of their stormwater program activities in an Annual Report. This Annual Report is intended to comply with that requirement and chronicle the Permittees' progress in implementing the provisions of the MS4 Permit. In addition, the Annual Report serves to identify potential problem areas and planned improvements. As Principal Permittee, the District has attempted to focus attention on the principal components of the Permittees' municipal stormwater management programs and convey relevant information to the SARWQCB in a clear and concise manner. To facilitate the reporting process, District staff prepared the summary tables that appear throughout this report. These forms are intended to summarize the information pertaining to the various program activities implemented by the Permittees, and to facilitate a consistent annual reporting process. While the District aggregates the information presented in the summary tables, the information is provided by each of the individual Permittees. For additional information regarding any individual Permittee's program, the readers of this report should refer to that Permittee's reporting forms provided in Appendix J – Permittee Reports. The remainder of this report reviews the Permittees' accomplishments over the course of the reporting period and presents the status of the Permittees' ongoing efforts and planned activities to implement their respective municipal stormwater programs and comply with the provisions of the MS4 Permit. During the last fiscal year reporting period, the Permittees were required to develop a proposal for assessment of the Urban Runoff management program effectiveness on an area wide as well as jurisdiction specific basis. Permittees utilized the CASQA Guidance for developing these assessment measures at the six outcome levels. The assessment measures targeted both water quality outcomes and the results of municipal enforcement activities consistent with the requirements of Appendix 3, Section IV.B. The new reporting forms developed by the Permittees now feature these measure metrics which will be utilized going forward to help quantify the ongoing progress of the program.

Management Steering Committee

As previously mentioned, the MSC has met bi-annually during this FY through attendance of the WRCOG Technical Advisory Committee meetings; meeting agendas and minutes are included in Appendix A. In addition, Table 1-1 provides the record of attendance for the MSC meetings. At the November 7, 2011 meeting, the MSC was briefed on the status of the Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP). This update was provided to the City managers (or their designated representatives) at the WRCOG TAC with the main purpose of providing revised cost assumptions for the Hypolimnetic Oxygenation System (HOS) and other in-lake options such as zeolite and phoslock for addressing the TMDL and SAR Permit Requirements within Canyon Lake. In addition, it was noted that there was preliminary support for HOS and the University of California Riverside (UCR) to continue to evaluate potential alternatives that may yield better cost efficiencies while still potentially reaching the targets for phosphorus and nitrogen. At the May 17, 2012 meeting, the MSC was again provided an update to the direction of the CNRP for Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake. In this update, City and County staff were apprised of the submittal of the CNRP to the Regional Board on December 31, 2011. The Regional Board found the draft CNRP to be conceptually acceptable, but wanted firm commitments to a specific in-lake mitigation measure by the time the final CNRP was due, which was scheduled for June 30, 2012.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


Sub-committees During the development of programs to comply with the 2002 MS4 Permit, the Technical Advisory Committee established discrete Work Groups to oversee the development and implementation of the DAMP program components. The Work Groups included Permittee representatives and frequently also included industry representatives, representatives of environmental/special interest groups, and other stakeholders as appropriate. The Work Groups were established to guide the following program components and met on an ad-hoc basis:

• Permit Renewal • Construction Activities • Industrial/Commercial Activities • New Development/Re-development • Public Education • Municipal Facilities & Activities • Monitoring & IC/ID • Finance • TMDL Compliance • Other Key Meetings

For the DAMP program updates pursuant to the 2010 MS4 Permit, work groups were formed on an as-needed basis, however the Permittees made extensive use of informal meetings via email and phone to transact business due to the difficulties of coordinating a large number of entities. Please note that agendas and meeting notes are not commonly prepared for sub-committee meetings.

Implementation Agreement The Implementation Agreement that was executed during this reporting period will be amended in the 2012-2013 FY to include the City of Jurupa Valley.

management practices for each facility. New Development/Redevelopment

The District completed development of the LID BMP Design Manual which focuses on landscape-based BMPs capable of addressing identified water quality impairments within Riverside County. Permittees also participated in the SMC LID Manual for Southern California which produced additional LID BMP guidance and training materials that could be used by programs throughout Southern California.

Public Education

The Riverside County NPDES Permittees have established an ongoing watershed based public education and outreach program known as the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" pollution prevention program. The specific objectives of the public education program include:

• Fostering a broad public awareness of water pollution concerns; • Increasing the public's understanding of pollution prevention activities so the public

can curtail and monitor those behaviors that might be contributing to water quality problems in their communities;

• Educating/informing the general public, regulators and key local government and state decision makers on Urban Runoff conditions in Riverside County; and

• Promoting stewardship of local water resources.

The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program implements the public awareness objectives by focusing on three areas of pollutant reduction/prevention:

• Public Behavior; • Proper Management of Pollutants; and • Residential-, commercial-, industrial-, construction- and municipal-specific

Education Outreach.

In addition, when attempting to make use of the finite resources available to the Public Education Program, the Permittees use these management goals to ensure that resources are used effectively:

• Focusing on pollutants of concern specific to each watershed region;

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


• Coordinating public education efforts with adjacent stormwater management programs and other related education programs to share resources, coordinate outreach efforts, and avoid costly duplication of effort; and

• Adapt public education programs and objectives, based on effectiveness analysis, to address changing MS4 programs and objectives.

Municipal Facilities & Activities

The District analyzed the effectiveness of the District's Facility Pollution Prevention Plan via annual inspection process and found that some minor updates will be necessary. These updates will be provided in the FY 12-13 Annual Report.

Monitoring

Through the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition (SMC), the Permittees participated in the following projects:

The Regional Watershed Monitoring Program (RWMP) to address key questions regarding the health of Receiving Waters in Southern California. The Permittees are currently implementing the bioassessment component (titled "Implementing a Regionally Consistent and Integrated Freshwater Stream Bioassessment Monitoring Program") of the program, aimed at evaluating the health of perennial streams in the San Jacinto and Middle Santa Ana River Watersheds. The Post-Wildfire Monitoring Program to facilitate integrated regional assessment in order to more effectively document the effects of Wildfires, improve regional coordination, and provide a mechanism to communicate the acquired information to municipal, water quality, and other program managers.

The Data Compilation Study to develop a common water quality data infrastructure in Southern California in order to combine data from different MS4 water quality monitoring programs to assess impacts and problems, quantify trends, evaluate the effectiveness of alternative solutions to water quality problems, and establish reference conditions on a regional scale.

The Laboratory Intercalibration Study to determine the coefficient of variation between laboratories and their analyses of a range of

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


constituents. This project involves the submittal of blind water quality samples to measure variability of the analyses within and between participating laboratories. An intercalibration study of toxicity analyses is anticipated in the near future.

The District’s Low Impact Development (LID) Project that aims to develop a comprehensive program to incorporate LID strategies and techniques into the planning and design of public and private sector projects. This LID Project will include determining key technical and institutional issues that must be addressed for successful implementation, pilot projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of LID, and training and outreach to help solidify an implementation strategy to ensure large-scale and long-term success of programs to implement LID

A Stormwater Monitoring Workshop was held in order to compare and evaluate similarities and differences of each regulated agencies’ NPDES MS4 water quality monitoring programs. Discussions at the workshop will be compiled into a Stormwater Monitoring Guidance Document with the primary goal of providing recommendations and actions that will improve Southern California’s monitoring programs.

• Through the Lake Elsinore and San Jacinto Watersheds Authority (LESJWA), the Permittees have funded studies of activities that could improve water quality within Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake, via projects such as addition of chemicals that bind to Phosphorus and Nitrogen and remove them from the water column, and for Canyon Lake a potential hypolimnetic oxygenation system was studied as an option for in-lake treatment. Monitoring efforts are also being conducted to develop and refine a strategy to maintain beneficial uses in the lake.

• Continued participation in the Stormwater Quality Standards Task Force (SWQSTF). The multi-stakeholder Task Force was formed by Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties to assist the Santa Ana Regional Board in reevaluating the application of the water contact Beneficial Uses (REC-1, REC-2) for Receiving Waters in the Santa Ana River Watershed. The Task Force's goal is to recommend revised Beneficial Use designations for reaches of the Santa Ana River and its tributaries, develop Water Quality Objectives to protect each designated Beneficial Use, and re-examine the appropriateness of the use of fecal coliform bacteria as the most appropriate Water Quality Objective indicator organism;

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


• Began implementation of the 2010 Consolidated Monitoring Plan (CMP) for in accordance with 2010 NPDES Permit requirements, which includes collection of water quality samples at Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) outfalls and Receiving Waters for a variety of constituents as well as coordinate monitoring efforts for the Canyon Lake/Lake Elsinore TMDL and for the Middle Santa Ana River TMDL development.

Finance

As previously described, the MSC directed the formation of a Finance Sub-committee. The Sub-committee reviews current funding sources and examines potential funding options for program compliance. There have been no changes in regulations that warranted meeting of this sub-committee in the current fiscal year; however, the District continues to closely track the progress of various constitutional amendments, bills, grant opportunities, and local efforts to develop additional funding streams for NPDES programs. In addition, the District and Permittees have been coordinating with the other stakeholders on several grant opportunities that will assist with addressing TMDL implementation.

TMDL and Other Committees

The Permittees, in conjunction with other TMDL stakeholders, have been working to address the urban runoff contribution to impaired waterbodies that have a TMDL. The Permittees have met through existing Task Forces and independently, as necessary, for this purpose to assist with complying with the requirements of the MSAR and LE/CL TMDLs and requirements associated with the current MS4 permit thereto (e.g. CBRP,CNRP). The following paragraphs summarize the Permittees' participation in various TMDL and watershed related efforts: The Storm Water Quality Standards Task Force (SWQSTF) was created to review the recreational beneficial uses of the Santa Ana Watershed. The goal of the SWQSTF is to effectively direct the limited funding sources allocated for TMDL compliance toward the activities that would result in the greatest measurable benefits. The SWQSTF and MSAR TMDL Task Force meetings are coordinated by SAWPA. The State Water Resources Control Board and Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board approved the amendment to the Basin Plan for REC-1 uses; however, the Office of Administrative Law and USEPA have yet to issue a final judgment. This is expected during the next FY.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


SMC – SCCWRP The District participates in the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition (SMC) on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The SMC includes representatives from the Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Ana Regional Boards and each of the Principal Permittees in Southern California (i.e., the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura), and other interested municipalities. The overall goal for the SMC is to establish a Southern California stormwater research and monitoring agenda that would focus on improving stormwater monitoring science, coordinate data collection efforts, and evaluating the effects of stormwater discharges to Receiving Waters specific to Southern California. Appendix A contains the SMC Annual Report, which highlights activities completed during the past fiscal year. Copies of meeting agendas are also contained in Appendix A. The Permittees' participation and cooperation with other stakeholders in the pursuit of grant opportunities has resulted in several successful grant projects for TMDL compliance. The following is a list of grants that were able to be procured with the help of committee participation: • Proposition 40 grant for Lake Elsinore TMDL; • Proposition 40 grant for Middle Santa Ana River TMDL; • Proposition 50 IRWM planning grant for San Jacinto Watershed; and • A second Proposition 40 grant for the "Lake Elsinore Recharge Pipeline" project and

the Lake Elsinore TMDL. Other Key Meetings

The Permittees worked closely to coordinate with CASQA and participated in various CASQA meetings throughout the reporting period.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT Section 2 – Fiscal Analysis Page 2-1

2. FISCAL ANALYSIS Securing and sustaining adequate funding resources is arguably one of the most difficult issues MS4 Permittees must face. The economic crisis and the impacts on Permittee funding sources have been a primary consideration during the term of this current Riverside County MS4 Permit. The Permittees are still implementing significant budget reductions and employee layoffs affecting vital basic services to offset reduced levels of revenue tied to the current post-housing bubble. Some of these basic services will be needed even more by those most impacted by the economic conditions. As MS4 permit compliance programs will be competing for finite resources with these services, it is anticipated that they will not be immune to reductions. Permittee efforts to develop new revenue sources for the NPDES MS4 programs have had limited success. Particularly with the recent adoption of Prop 26, it is unlikely that new sustainable revenue sources will be generated in the near term and existing revenue sources have been significantly impacted by the deteriorating economic conditions. Under these circumstances, compliance with expanded permit requirements beyond current levels will likely require reduction or elimination of other compliance activities or receipt of Federal or State funding. California continues to experience a fiscal crisis unprecedented since the Great Depression. According to the State of California Employment Development Department, the September 2012 unemployment rate has decreased to 12.7% in Riverside County. State and local governments continue to experience budgetary shortfalls and are reducing staffing, programs, and consolidating departments as required.. Given this persistent economic turmoil, priority will be given to preserving the most essential elements of existing Urban Runoff programs and identifying and implementing strategies to improve the efficiency of existing programs in protecting Receiving Waters. The costs incurred by the Permittees in implementing the Santa Ana Regional DAMP fall into two broad categories:

• Shared Costs: These are costs that fund activities that are principally performed by the District under the Implementation Agreement. These activities include; overall stormwater program coordination; interagency agreements; participation in the California Stormwater Quality Association; attending meetings of the Santa Ana Regional Board or State Water Resources Control Board; and coordination of consultant studies, Permittee meetings and training seminars.

• Individual Permittee Costs for DAMP Implementation These are costs incurred by each Permittee for implementing within its jurisdiction the BMPs (drainage facility inspections for illicit connections, illegal discharges, drainage facility maintenance, drain inlet/catch

FUNDING SOURCES

The Permittees currently employ four distinct funding methods alone or in combination to finance their MS4 NPDES Permit compliance activities.

Santa Ana Watershed Benefit Assessment Area

The District established the Santa Ana Watershed Benefit Assessment Area (SAWBAA) in May 1991. SAWBAA revenues fund both area-wide, or "umbrella" DAMP activities and the District's individual MS4 Permit compliance activities. The SAWBAA covers the "urbanized" portions of the Santa Ana River Watershed within Riverside County including both incorporated (City) and unincorporated (County) areas. Property owners are assessed for the benefit derived from the development and implementation of the DAMP activities supported or conducted by the District. Certain areas, e.g., the more rural and remote mountainous regions were excluded from the SAWBAA, since little or no Urban Runoff is generated in those areas. Undeveloped vacant parcels and agricultural parcels are exempted from the benefit assessment. Assessments are calculated by the District and enrolled on the property tax bills generated by the County Tax Assessor's Office. The amount of the assessment is based on a parcel's proportionate contribution to Urban Runoff, which is a function of parcel size and its use. Since the SAWBAA is an area-wide revenue source, certain activities and programs that are considered of common and equal benefit to the entire area are financed, either wholly or in part, by the funds generated by the District's annual benefit assessment revenue. These area-wide activities include:

• Monitoring Program (Consolidated Program for Water Quality Monitoring);

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


• Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team (HazMat Team) – (HazMat Response Team Annual Report provided as Appendix D);

• ABOP/Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program – (Information regarding

HHW Collection Events provided as Appendix C);

• "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" Program (Public Education);

• Commercial/Industrial Compliance/Assistance Program; and

• Administrative/Program Management.

County Service Area 152

The County of Riverside formed County Service Area 152 (CSA 152) in December 1991 to provide funding for MS4 NPDES Permit compliance activities. Originally, the CSA 152 assessment was collected through property tax bills as an annual parcel charge in the unincorporated portions of the County. In FY 1993-1994, the County adopted the same methodology (proportional runoff) for assessment calculations used by the District. In FY 1995-1996, the County developed a modified assessment methodology and began using the Transportation and Land Management Agency's Geographic Information System (GIS) to perform the assessment calculations. Under the laws that govern CSAs, sub-areas may be established within the overall service area with different assessment rates set within each sub-area. For example, the Cities of Corona, Moreno Valley, Norco, Riverside, Lake Elsinore, and San Jacinto elected to participate in CSA 152. Under the CSA 152 program, individual cities determine their respective assessment rates and have broad discretion over how to allocate the funds. Several of these Cities also reported that they supplement their CSA 152 revenue with General Fund and other sources of revenue.

Street Sweeping Assessment

In response to the provisions of Proposition 218, the County restructured its CSA 152 funding program as a voter approved street sweeping assessment in certain unincorporated areas. At the same time, the County has allowed the participating cities to continue their previously existing CSA 152 assessments relatively unchanged.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


Utility Charge The City of Hemet funds a portion of its NPDES program activities through a utility charge. The charge is collected via the monthly utility bills issued by the City of Hemet, the Lake Hemet Water District, or Eastern Municipal Water District according to the respective service areas within the city. In addition, the City of Hemet reports using gas tax, general fund and other revenues to support certain stormwater management activities. General Fund / Other Revenues The remaining Permittees utilize general fund revenue to finance their NPDES activities. Several of the Permittees currently rely on their general fund to finance their DAMP activities. In November 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 ("The Right to Vote on Taxes Initiatives") amending Article XIII of the State Constitution.1 Proposition 218 produced changes to some of the Permittees' historic funding sources and still looms as a potential threat to others. For example, the County dropped CSA 152 fees in unincorporated areas over concerns regarding compliance with Proposition 218 provisions. As with other municipal programs, the level of funding available for DAMP activities depends largely on the public's willingness to provide financial resources. In general, funds available for DAMP programs have become increasingly scarce as sources of municipal revenues have declined for many local agencies. The provisions of Proposition 218, requiring voter approval of new taxes and assessments, have significantly diminished the prospects for developing new or alternative funding sources.

1 The Proposition 218 amendments require voter approval of any new taxes, fees, assessments, etc. In addition, certain existing taxes and assessments were subject to the Initiative's voter approval requirements. "Special taxes," as defined by the Initiative, require a 2/3rds majority vote while other types of assessments may only require a simple majority. In addition, voter approval is required to raise any existing special tax or assessment rates by the Initiative, and require a 2/3rds majority while other types of assessments may only require a simple majority. In addition, voter approval is required to raise any existing special tax or assessment rates.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 3 – Legal Authority Page 3-1

3. LEGAL AUTHORITY Provision No. V of the 2002 MS4 Permit required each Permittee to adopt a Stormwater/Urban Runoff Discharge Control Ordinance, or equivalent, and enact and revise policies and ordinances necessary to establish and maintain adequate legal authority as required by the NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit program [40 CFR Part 122.26(d)(2)(i)(A-F)]. In 1996, each Permittee established legal authority as appropriate to comply with previous permit conditions. Provision No. VIII of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires each Permittee to maintain adequate legal authority to control the discharge of Pollutants to the MS4 from Urban Runoff and enforce those authorities. Provision No. VIII.F requires the Permittees to annually review their Storm Water Ordinances and their ordinance enforcement practices to assess their effectiveness in prohibiting the discharges listed in the MS4 Permit A summary of each Permittee's legal authority status, as reported to the District, is presented in Table 3-1.

Moreno Valley Legal Authority Certification attached Yes. The following Ordinances Nos. 826 and 827 repealed and reenacted various provisions of the Municipal Codes allowing new design standards promoting green infrastructure/low impact development (LID) techniques to comply with the 2010 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Permit requirements with. Additionally, all projects are required to include “Best Management Practices” (BMPs) which provide measures designed to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants directly or indirectly into waters of the United States. The primary changes include revising design requirements to promote on-site water retention and infiltration in an effort to clean the water of contaminants prior to the water being discharged from the site into storm drains and flood control channels which then enter receiving waters such as the Santa Ana Watershed. Hardscape areas increase the runoff and amount of water that needs to be cleaned by the water quality permit. The proposed site design requirements and preferences are intended to reduce the runoff and the costs associated with cleaning runoff.

Calimesa Based on the amendments and changes we have made to our ordinance things at this time are working well but we will continue from time to time to review our ordinance and make any necessary changes as needed to give us more enforcement power.

Canyon Lake

The City’s ordinance is effective and we are not experiencing any difficulty with enforcement. We are working with the Property Owner’s Association and EVMWD to publicize the procedure for residents who drain pools periodically (Attachment 4). Specifically the City does not allow any discharge into the street, as all drains go to the lake, even if the water is neutralized and meets PH levels set by the lake owner, EVMWD. With the cooperation of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Water District, pamphlets have been distributed to the public about improper disposal of pool and spa water into drains. This will be implemented as one of the City’s BMP measures.

In addition to the public, Chapter 5 of the City’s Municipal Code (Attachment 5) requires that all businesses hold a business license. The application requires businesses involving NPDES compliance indentify such on the Business License application (Attachment 6) before any licenses are approved. Every business is required to acknowledge specific guidelines of the municipal code specifically indentifying mobile detailers (Attachment 7) and additional informational pamphlets are mailed with each license( Attachment 8).

Corona

a) The City of Corona is a co-participant in the County Health Department administered “Compliance Assistance Program” and performs follow-up inspections on facilities with potential illicit discharges and ordinance violations b) The City of Corona currently has staff members devoted to providing prompt follow-up to telephone calls and complaints concerning illicit discharges and/or improper disposal of pollutants into storm drain facilities c) We currently have an illegal dumping report and phone number available on the City’s website.

d) DWP, Code Enforcement, Fire and Public Works departments work together to respond to violation events. The NPDES Section follows up on all events to ensure proper notification and reporting requirements are followed as specified in the DAMP. Enforcement depends on the severity of the violation and may require immediate containment and clean up, verbal warnings, notices of violation, recovery of costs, and public education to the violator including handing out public education materials. e) All City field staff are trained on the City’s storm water ordinance and what constitutes a non-storm water discharge or illicit connection and how to report to their supervisors so that they can be investigated f) Staff may issue a Notice of Violation specifically for NPDES Ordinance violations. The NOV form is tailored to identify the specific municipal code violation and written corrective action(s) required. It is a tri-ply form in which the violator acknowledges receipt of the correction. Out of 10 NOV’s issued this reporting year, 9 sites were brought into compliance and one site is still actively working with the City to bring the site into compliance.

Eastvale City of Eastvale contracted with the Riverside County, see Riverside County Annual Report. The program effectively controls most pollutants through education and enforcement of ordinances

Hemet A review of the City of Hemet Stormwater Ordinance (Hemet Municipal Code Chapter 14, Article X) was completed in 2011-2012. As described above, the existing ordinance was amended to ensure compliance with the area wide stormwater permit. The new ordinance was adopted by the Hemet City Council in September 2012 and will take effect on October 25, 2012.


Lake Elsinore

It is opined that the City’s Ordinance is both general and specific enough to provide support in the enforcement of ANY discharge that cold potentially be considered a threat to water quality. As stated at 14.08.070, “General. It is a violation of this chapter to throw, deposit, leave, maintain, keep, or permit to be thrown, deposited, placed, left or maintained, any pollutant in or upon any street, alley, sidewalk, storm drain, inlet, catch basin, conduit or other drainage structures, business place, or upon any public or private plot of land in the City. The only exception being where such pollutant is temporarily placed in an appropriate container with a spill containment system for later collection and removal. It is a violation of this chapter to cause or permit any dumpster, solid waste bin, or similar container to leak such that any pollutant is discharged into any street, alley, sidewalk, storm drain, inlet, catch basin, conduit or other drainage structures, business place, or upon any public or private plot of land in the City. It is a violation of this chapter to discharge urban runoff containing pollutants, including trash and debris, into the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) or other facility that drains into receiving water.” The enforcement sections provide for City Staff provide Staff with the legal authority to take the action necessary to abate the situation and/or gain compliance. As provided at section 14.08.170 Notice of Violation., “Whenever the Director of Public Works finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this chapter, the Director of Public Works may order compliance by verbal or written notice of violation to the responsible person. Such notice may require without limitation: a) The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting; b) The elimination of illicit connections or discharges; c) That violating discharges, practices, or operations shall cease and desist; d)The abatement of remediation of stormwater pollution or contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property; e) Payment of a fine to cover administrative and remediation costs; and f) The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs"

Menifee

City and Contract staff have effectively enforced non-stormwater discharges from entering the storm drain. A new ordinance that strengthens the enforcement proceedings was adopted this past reporting year. The City of Menifee is a co-participant in the County Health Department administered “Compliance Assistance Program” and performs follow-up inspection on facilities with potential illicit Public Works, Code Enforcement and Community Development departments work together to respond to violations. The NPDES coordinator follows up on all violations to ensure proper notification and reporting requirements are followed as specified in the Permit. Enforcement depends on the severity of the violation and may require immediate containment and clean up, verbal warnings, notices of violation, recovery of costs, and public education to the violator including distribution of public education awareness materials. The City’s storm water ordinance defines a non-stormwater discharge or illicit connection. City staff has been trained on the storm water ordinance and the reporting requirements of the Permit.

Moreno Valley

The Ordinance has overall, been effective in prohibiting non-exempt, non-stormwater discharges to the MS4. The City also has an aggressive commercial, industrial, restaurant and construction inspection program to ensure that the illegal/illicit discharges do not occur. Should enforcement actions be necessary due to any illegal/illicit discharges to its MS4, the Ordinance allows for the City to take enforcement actions to ensure compliance.

Norco

The City’s storm drain ordinance covers the provisions outlined in Section VIII.F. Inspections are covered by Public Works Inspectors. Building and Safety Inspectors in addition to Public Works Inspectors are aware of what is a legal connection and monitor these while inspecting their appropriate construction phase. The Public Works Inspectors are looking for illegal connections when they do the cleaning and videotaping of the storm drain system and in the normal course of daily work. When issues arise, verbal warnings of enforcement are first issued and are usually enough to obtain compliance by the violator. Should further action be required, the appropriate department issues a notice of violation and compliance is tracked by that department. In the event compliance cannot be reached, then citations will be issued by Code Enforcement and possible monetary fines levied by the Finance Department.

Riverside

The Riverside Municipal Code and the City’s proactive inspection program have provided an effective storm water program through which illegal discharges to the MS4 are prohibited. Early in the fiscal year, Public Works and City Attorney Office staffs reviewed the municipal code to evaluate its effectiveness. This evaluation provided assurances that the necessary tools are in place to prevent non-stormwater discharges. City staffs are continually looking for opportunities to improve and enhance the City’s ability to preserve water quality.

Riverside County The program effectively controls most pollutants through education and enforcement of ordinances. RCFC & WCD N/A However, the District has successfully coordinated IC/ID response and elimination with the Co-Permittees.

San Jacinto

The City of San Jacinto routinely reviews the applicable ordinances as it relates to effectiveness. As a result of these reviews, the City enacted ordinance 09-16 on May 21, 2009 that was based on the Metropolitan Water District’s model ordinance which prohibits excessive overspray and run-off of irrigation water. The combination of this ordinance with the City’s existing storm water requirements set forth in Chapter 13.44 of the City’s municipal code provides effective tools for the City to enforce its NPDES programs.

Canyon Lake

The City of Canyon Lake currently has proactive Community Patrol, Marine Patrol and Special Enforcement Officers monitoring discharge sites and performing periodic water quality tests. In accordance with Provision No. VIII.F Section 9, the City of Canyon Lake adopted Ordinance 138U. This new ordinance allows staff to monitor and cite improper pet waste disposal within the City limits. City staff takes every available opportunity to educate the public on proper construction practices, pool and spa drainage procedures and other MS4 related issues. The City is currently researching Good House Keeping practices for any construction site maintenance BMPs and prevention of spills into the MS4 per Provision No. VIII.F section 6.

Corona

As mentioned above, the City utilizes various enforcement tools to bring sites into compliance with our NPDES Ordinance. Most compliance is achieved through verbal warnings issued at the time the violation is observed. Where a correction is required and the verbal warning has not been effective, the City will issue a Notice of Violation. This year 10 NOV’s were issued and in 9 of those cases, the sites were brought into compliance. In one case, the site is still actively working with the City on a grading/drainage issue to bring the site into compliance. We believe these methods are effective in enforcing our Ordinance and no revisions are necessary at this time.

Hemet Since the new ordinance was just recently adopted (September 2012), there has not been sufficient time to determine the effectiveness of the ordinance with regard to prohibiting non-exempt, non-stormwater discharges to the MS4. The city will continue to document enforcement actions and provide educational materials to increase the awareness and understanding of the City Stormwater Ordinance in an effort to change behavior and reduce the discharge of pollutants to the MS4.

Lake Elsinore

The City conducts many activities aimed at reducing IC/IDs and timely responds to reports or discoveries of IC/IDs. The City’s activities during the FY annual reporting period included:

• Providing documentation of Major Outfalls to receiving waters in the City limits to the Principal Permittee for establishment of an inventory and for mapping;

• Participation in the revision of the DAMP, specifically Section 4, “Elimination of Illicit Connections and Illegal Discharges”. • Routine investigations of discharges back to the source. • Education of the public is the first course of action when problems are found and includes face to face conversations, handouts and

door hangers about Illegal Discharges and Pollution Prevention. • Trash and debris are removed on a daily basis from open space areas and open channels by staff. City management also requires

that trash, debris and vegetation seen in the street be removed by staff as it is encounter. • The City has formed a “Clean Extreme” committee that includes volunteers from all over the City and other agencies. The goal of

the “Clean Extreme” is the remove trash, debris and overgrowth from vacant properties throughout the City. • The City also participated in the Santa Margarita River Cleanup in November 2011 and removed over 4 tons of debris from the

Temescal Creek area.

The City continues to grow and there are signs that development is picking up again. With this growth, the need for additional staff to inspect and maintain facilities, investigate discharges and illicit connections, educate the public, and track and maintain data is a real need. We shall pursue alternatives including volunteers and additional funding, to obtain the man power required.

The City of Menifee’s Storm Water Procedural Manual outlines procedures for handling Illicit Discharges and Illicit Connections. The program has been evaluated and determined to be effective. No corrective actions were needed during the last reporting period. The following procedures were implemented upon receiving a report of an illicit discharge or spill, including septic tank overflow, illegal dumping, oil spill, etc.: 1. Code Enforcement Officer shall respond to the scene. Public Works shall be notified of the spill. 2. Code Enforcement Officer shall investigate the scene and determine if a routine response or emergency response is required. If emergency

response is required, follow emergency response instructions below. 3. Code Enforcement Officer shall contact the responsible property owner, tenant, and/or their agent and order them to take immediate steps to

stop the illicit discharge. a. Downstream storm drain inlet shall be blocked. b. Illicit Discharge shall be contained. c. Complete remediation of ID shall occur within 48 hours. d. Code Enforcement Officer will conduct an investigation of the circumstances of the illicit discharge and determine whether a violation

has occurred and whether a citation should be issued. e. If violator does not respond within 48 hours of being noticed or within 48 hours of the time of violation reported, Administrative

penalties will be imposed. f. Administrative Penalties include the following:

1. Remediation/Clean up enforced. 2. For septic tank overflow, the owner will be given 7 days to remedy the situation and/or obtain a permit. Written verification from the

septic tank pumping company is required 3. No response, Administrative Cite is re-issued.

g. If the violator willfully or intentionally deposits non-stormwater discharges into the MS4 that is a threat to public health and safety, the Code Enforcement officer may issue a Criminal Violation. The Criminal Violation will include compensatory or remedial actions required. The Code Enforcement Division will ensure that the discharge/connection is terminated immediately, using enforcement authority as needed.

h. If testing is required to determine the composition of the spill, the City has a contract with the Department of Environmental Health to provide said testing.

If Code Enforcement Officer cannot contact responsible party, City will administrate cleanup procedures and violator/property owner will be charged.

Moreno Valley Pursuant to the most recent inspections of the City, no illegal connections were found. The City receives daily reports from Underground Services Alert (USA) and staff reviews the reports to determine if any proposed excavations will affect city storm drains or channels. Staff than compares the reports to approved encroachment permits. If a permit was not authorized, a Stop Work Order is issued. The City will continue to utilize the above described detection program to monitor any illegal connections and proposed connections to the City’s MS4.

Riverside County

Coordination with county departments is provided through the County Executive Office. Typically IC/ID complaints come from several sources citizen complaints, observations by county staff, RCFC&WCD staff, city staff, and inquiries from Regional Board staff or other allied agencies, anonymous tips. Resources are allocated based on the type of allegation or complaint. If hazardous materials are involved the county HAZMAT team is dispatched. If the compliant involves non hazardous materials or illegal grading then county code enforcement is the lead with support from the building safety environmental compliance section. This process seems to work.

RCFC & WCD

Prior to the issuance of an encroachment permit, planned connections are reviewed by District staff; staff provide prompt responses to inquiries and complaints from the public; maintenance crews report IC/IDs detected in facilities; as an additional measure a patrol person inspects each accessible flood control facility annual, and where IC/IDs are detected, efforts, to identify and address the source are initiated in cooperation with the Watershed Protection Division. All pipes are also inspected prior to acceptance for District maintenance to ensure that there are no illicit connections. Further, unpermitted connections are investigated and the responsible party is notified in writing to either obtain a permit or remove the connection. Lastly, complaint calls are coordinated by the NPDES Section of the Watershed Protection Division. A written log is maintained and each call is evaluated. Incidents located within Permittee (City or County) jurisdiction and within their respective MS4 right-of-way are referred to the appropriate agency. Incidents within District right-of-way are verified then appropriate response and notification actions are implemented, often in coordination with the local land use authority.

Hemet

The City of Hemet reviewed ordinances, codes, building and landscape design standards in 2012-2013 and determined that there is no ordinance, code, or design standard that would prohibit consideration of green infrastructure/LID techniques, including (but not limited to): a. Landscaping designs that promote longer water retention and evapotranspiration such as 1 foot depth of compost/top soil in commercial and residential areas on top of 1 foot of non-compacted subsoil, concave landscape grading to allow runoff from impervious surfaces, and water conservation by selection of water efficient native plants, weather-based irrigation controllers, etc. b. Allow permeable surface designs in low traffic roads and parking lots. This may require land use/building code amendment. c. Allow natural drainage systems for street construction and catchments (with no drainage pipes) and allow vegetated ditches and swales where feasible. d. Require landscape in parking lots to provide treatment, retention or infiltration. e. Reduce curb requirements where adequate drainage, conveyance, treatment and storage are available. f. Amend land use/building codes to allow no curbs, curb cuts and/or stop blocks in parking areas and residential streets with low traffic. g. Use of green roof, rain garden, and other green infrastructure in urban/suburban area. h. Allow rainwater harvesting and use. i. Narrow streets provide alternatives to minimum parking requirements, etc. to facilitate LID where acceptable to public safety departments. j. Consider vegetated landscape for storm water treatment as an integral element of streets, parking lots, playground and buildings. k. Consider and facilitate application of landform grading techniques and revegetation as an alternative to traditional approaches, particularly in areas susceptible to erosion and sediment loss such as hillside development projects, l. Other site design BMPs identified in the WQMP not included above.

Lake Elsinore

City Staff reviewed the City’s Municipal Code, City Standards and landscape design standards against Provision No. XII.E.4; it was determined that there was nothing in the existing code or standards that would prohibit the implementation of green infrastructure/LID techniques identified at XII.E.4.a-l. The City Staff routinely promotes the use of green infrastructure and LID techniques as methods to achieve water quality requirements during design review and through conditions of approval.

Menifee The City has required LID techniques to be implemented on all projects through the planning condition of approval process. Project applications submitted to the planning department for approval are routed to the Engineering Department’s NPDES Manager to be conditioned for water quality to provide “green” design standards for implementation.

Moreno Valley See attached copies of City of Moreno Valley Ordinances Nos. 826 and 827.

Norco Due to the City’s rural nature, many of the standards listed to be promoted are already a norm. The City has narrow paved streets with many having no curb or gutters. Parkways are located on each side of the streets in addition to decomposed granite pedestrian/equestrian trails on one or both side. These trails and parkways capture runoff from properties adjacent to them and allow for infiltration.

Perris See Riverside County Individual Report

Riverside

The City of Riverside has long been a proponent of green design and construction. In 2010, City staff and community stakeholders (including architects and engineers) formed a Green Design Guidelines Committee purposed to develop local guidelines for green development. This committee has actively investigated and sought out opportunities to establish and improve green design guidelines and has promoted green design throughout the City. In addition, beginning in 2011, City staff from multiple departments convened on a regular basis to evaluate various City documents and look for opportunities to promote LID techniques. Throughout this process City staff identified several ordinances already in place that promote green infrastructure and LID. Some of these ordinances are: • RMC Title 17 Grading – This ordinance aims to preserve the natural characteristics of land, hillsides, and arroyos. It also promotes tree

and vegetation preservation and other efforts to stabilize surfaces. • Several ordinances within the RMC grant the opportunity to developers to reduce impervious areas by granting incentives for mixed use

and ‘Superior’ green developments. Impervious areas can be reduced through application of parking credits to reduce parking requirements and other provisions enabling developers to construct higher density buildings in exchange for ‘greener designs’.

• Recycled Water – Where feasible, the City promotes the use of recycled water from the City’s Water Quality Control Plant. The City adopted Chapter 14.28 of the RMC establishing the mandatory use of recycled water in areas where available under certain provisions.





PERMITTEE


Riverside Continued

• Transportation Demand Management – RMC Chapter 19.880 requires certain new developments (businesses with over 100 employees) to submit a Trip Reduction Plan. This plan is designed to reduce vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled at major employment sites. This, in turn, promotes LID and green infrastructure by reducing the amount of necessary parking areas and, consequently, impervious areas.

While only some of the City’s efforts to highlight green infrastructure and LID are noted above, the City continually seeks opportunities to promote LID. Green infrastructure/LID techniques identified in Section XII.E.4 a-l of the Permit are enabled in the General Plan, municipal code (some examples listed above), and throughout the development process.

San Jacinto

At the local level, the housing and commercial slump has continued, with very minute (if any) signs of recovery. However, there is some planning activity as developers continue to process projects for entitlements. In addition, due to the prolonged economic slump, all significant revenue sources have declined since FY 08-09. Property taxes declined approximately 33 percent, Development services fees are also only a fraction of what they were in FY 06/07. Due to these sharp declines, in revenues especially in the area of Development Services Fees, the City has not had the financial capability of performing any functions other than those minimally needed to maintain basic services. Revisions to ordinances, codes, building and landscape design standards would require either significant staff time that is not available, or the retention of professional services which cannot be justified when basic services in public safety are barely funded.

Upon the effective date of adoption of the 2010 MS4 Permit on January 29, 2010, the Permittees were required to implement the 2007 DAMP that was developed as part of their Report of Waste Discharge. Provision XVII of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to evaluate the effectiveness of the Urban Runoff management program described in the DAMP to determine the need for any revisions in order to reduce pollutants in MS4 discharges consistent with the MEP standard and consistent with the reporting requirements in Appendix 3, Section IV.B of the 2010 MS4 Permit. Furthermore, the 2010 MS4 Permit requires several new programs to be developed and submitted within eighteen months after Permit adoption (i.e. July 29, 2011). During this reporting period, the Co-Permittees have evaluated the 2007 DAMP for needed updates to reflect the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit and submitted a revised DAMP to the Regional Board in July 2011. During FY 11-12, only the LIP Template was approved. Thus, in accordance with Permit Section IV.B, the Permittee will have an individual LIP completed (based upon the approved template) during FY 12-13.

• Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) Revisions • Local Implementation Plan (LIP) • Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP) • Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Guidelines and Template • Public Education and Outreach Subcommittee • Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake TMDL Task Force • Regional GeoDataBase

On the local level, funding restrictions and personnel constraints continue to be a significant factor in achieving permit compliance. During the FY annual reporting period we were able to secure program support from the following Divisions: • Human Resources - support for staff training notification and tracking. • Planning – support at initial project submittal to secure submittal of preliminary WQMP. • Building - support in review of tenant improvement plans for NPDES BMP compliance and permit compliance and notification

of certificate of occupancy requests for NPDES Inspection purposes. • Business License - support for tracking businesses for compliance with NPDES permit requirements and providing access to

Business License database for reporting purposes. • Public Works - support to update/replace existing catch basin markers, support for tracking of storm drain cleanout, and GIS

layer for catch basins throughout the City. • Information Systems – support of public outreach by running EPA’s clean water videos to the City’s Public Access Channel.

The spirit of cooperation throughout the various Divisions of the City is representative of the City’s commitment to the NPDES Program.

The City’s NPDES Program Staff has implemented procedures and undertakes activity to ensure Permit compliance by: • Maintaining adequate legal authority to control the contribution of Pollutants.

o City Ordinance updated in December 2011 • Conducting inspections of and maintaining its MS4 facilities.

o Routine inspections conducted by PW Maintenance Staff annually; additional inspections and clean out of MS4 facilities conducted after rain events.

• Seeking funding opportunities and/or interagency efforts to facilitate the NPDES program. o Presented request to Council for increase in primary funding source assessment, CSA 152




o Coordinating with Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District to complete mapping of City Storm Drain System at shared cost.

• Notifying applicants for permits of their obligations with regard to Stormwater Ordinances, WQMP and state and federal permit requirements.

o NPDES Coordinator reviews all applications for new development, significant redevelopment, special events, conditional and temporary use permits, tenant improvements and certificates of occupancy to ensure activities in the City are implementing BMP’s to the MEP and in compliance with Permit and Ordinance requirements

o Coordinated with Building, Planning and Finance Divisions to amend applications to ensure applicants are made aware of NPDES requirements at the earliest possible opportunity.

• Updating our MS4 facility maps. o Through the Public Works Div. pavement management program and coordinated efforts with Elsinore Valley Water

District, GIS database is being updated. • Cooperating fully and in a timely manner in Principal Permittee initiated activities. • Responding to or arranging for the appropriate entity or agency to respond to IC/ID, accidental spills or leaks.

o City Staff follow spill/IC/ID procedures as called for in the DAMP. • Applying enforcement activity in a manner and to the level necessary to gain compliance.

o City Staff, following the procedures outlined in the DAMP have been successful in gaining voluntary compliance. Generally, Staff has found that meeting with the responsible party and educating them as to the pollution potential is successful in gaining compliance. In rare instances, the initial contact does not gain compliance, following up with a written notice identifying the potential for a citation/fine achieves compliance.

• Database tracking and inspection of active businesses and construction sites in the City. o City Staff presently use excel spreadsheets to track Inspections, BMP’s, IC/ID, spills, etc. Staff has purchased a

comprehensive software package designed specifically to track ALL Permit compliance activities. • Staff actively seeks and participates in public education / outreach opportunities. Some of the activities this year included:

o Participation in the public education outreach committee, o Manning NPDES booth at public events, o Adding EPA clean water programming to the City’s Public Access Channel. o Placing door hangers and flyers about storm water pollution prevention throughout neighborhoods where potential

pollutants have been noted. • Through coordination with the City’s Human Resources Division, All City staff is afforded the opportunity to attend annual

training. It is felt that the cooperative efforts put forth by City Staff at the local and regional level are at their limits given funding and staffing constraints. Should additional funding and/or staffing become available, additional effort would be spent on inspection and maintenance activities.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 5 – Illicit Connections/Illegal Discharges Page 5-1

5. ILLICIT CONNECTIONS/ILLEGAL DISCHARGES Actions to Investigate and Eliminate IC/ID Provision VI.A and VI.B of the 2002 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to continue to prohibit illicit connections and illegal discharges to the MS4s through their Stormwater Ordinances. In addition, the Permittees were required to continue to implement and improve routine inspection and monitoring and reporting programs for their MS4s. If routine inspections or dry weather monitoring indicate illicit connections or illegal discharges, they are to be investigated and eliminated or permitted within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of notice by its staff or from a third party. A summary of these actions is reported annually and included in this Annual Report. Provision IX of the 2010 MS4 Permit continues to require the Permittees to prohibit IC/IDs to the MS4 through their Stormwater Ordinances and District must do so through its statutory authority. Trash and Debris Control Measures Provision VI.C of the 2002 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to implement control measures to reduce and/or eliminate the discharge of pollutants, including trash and debris from the MS4 to Receiving Waters. In the 2004-2005 Annual Report, the Permittees characterized trash, determined its main source(s) and developed and implemented appropriate BMPs to reduce and/or to eliminate the discharge of trash and debris to Waters of the U.S. to the MEP. The 2010 MS4 Permit requires that the BMPs be continued and their effectiveness be reported in the Annual Report. Litter BMP Review and Assessment Provision VI.D of the 2002 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to establish a system to record visual observation information regarding the materials collected from the MS4 (e.g. paper, plastic, wood, glass, vegetative litter, and other similar debris), descriptions of its main sources (e.g. office, residential, commercial, and industrial waste) and problem areas. The findings of this review are described on page 5-24. The Permittees' current efforts to control illicit connections and discharges are summarized in Table 5-1 which follows.

Lake Elsinore

The City’s program review showed the need for additional staffing, more tracking, both through database and GIS and increased legal authority. The City’s efforts to revise its IDDE program included participation as Co-Permittee of a coordinated effort to update the DAMP Section 4.0, “Elimination of Illicit Connections and Illegal Discharges” to provide for a region-wide pro-active IDDE effort. The City complies with the IDDE provisions in the DAMP. Those provisions included: Staffing – As a small City with a small staff, other than the NPDES Coordinator and Public Works Inspectors, all City field personnel act as NPDES inspectors, reporting any IC/ID to the NPDES Coordinator for action. City field staff and management are required to attend NPDES training to alert them to potential IC/ID. Legal Authority – The City’s Stormwater Ordinance has been updated to ensure sufficient legal authority to take action in the event of an IC/ID. Mapping – The City cooperated with the Principal Permittee mapping efforts in providing coordinates and data relative to the Major Outfalls in the City limits and contracted for a GIS layer of its catch basins. The City has also agreed to share costs with EVMWD in creation of a Citywide GIS storm drain map.


Tracking - The City maintains excel databases for IC/ID incident/response of Industrial and Commercial Facilities, Construction sites and Residential. The City has purchased software that will help with the tracking process.

Public Education – The City as Co-Permittee participates in the Public Education Subcommittee and benefits from the Principal Permittee established hotline and combined public education efforts. The City has also taken steps to air EPA’s stormwater related videos on its public access channel, routinely distributes brochures to groups visiting City Hall and flyers to residential areas throughout the City.

IC/ID Detection and Elimination – During the regular maintenance of MS4s, the MS4 facilities are inspected to identify Illicit Connections, and evidence is noted of any Illegal Discharges. This is the most direct method to detect IC/IDs, and enables the Permittees to look for discharges that appear unusual or may produce a foul odor or coloring. Field personnel are trained to identify potential IC/IDs during the course of their normal duties. The NPDES Coordinator has also established a procedure for review of tenant improvements and site inspection of commercial and industrial facilities to ensure compliance with stormwater ordinances and NPDES Permits

IC/ID Response and Reporting – The City’s program indicated a need for additional staff; budget constraints prevented hiring. To fill the void, existing City field staff were trained to identify IC/ID situations and notify the NPDES Coordinator. Action is taken on reports of IC/ID within 24 hours.

Menifee The City of Menifee’s Storm Water Procedural Manual addresses Illicit Discharge, Detection and Elimination. The City takes a proactive stance on Illicit Discharges through public education. The City encourages Illicit Discharge reporting by it’s citizens and staff. The City’s website and the Riverside County Flood Control District’s website provides a hotline for reporting of illicit discharges.



Moreno Valley

The City Moreno Valley reviewed and revised its IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed by the end of the Permit term.

Norco

The City Norco has reviewed their IC/ID program to compare the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures ad schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed by the end of the Permit term.


Riverside

Riverside County

Code Enforcement and Environmental Health provide complaint investigations with written warning and notices of violation. Required cleanup by the responsible party of non compliant activities is a part of the compliance strategy.

RCFC&WCD

The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to SA Regional Board staff on May 31, 2011 by the District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved, with conditions, by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. Work related to addressing these conditions in the Final CMP has carried over into FY 12-13. However, IC/ID investigations are ongoing throughout the Permit term.

San Jacinto

Staff reviewed its IDDE approaches against the Guidance Manual and believe that the current program is effective in the identification and elimination of illicit discharges and connections. City staff in Parks, Public Works, Building and Code Enforcement, as well as landscape maintenance contractors performing work in the Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District routinely look for any evidence of illegal connections to the storm drain system. These may include evidence of new curb drains, concrete swales or other unpermitted construction within or into the system. Upon discovery of what appears to be an illegal connection, the staff member will notify the Public Works Department and Code Enforcement to conduct an investigation. This may include a site visit, review of building permits and other investigations as necessary. When it is determined that a connection is illegal, staff will work with the property/business owner to either permit the connection or to remove it. The City may use the administrative citation process when violations are noted.



ILLICIT CONNECTION/ILLEGAL DISCHARGE; LITTER, DEBRIS

AND TRASH CONTROL 2011-2012 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

SANTA ANA REGION NPDES MUNICIPAL STORMWATER PERMIT Provision No. IX.G of the MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to review and evaluate their IC/ID program, including litter/trash BMPs, to determine if the program needs to be adjusted.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of your review and evaluation.

Beaumont The program is satisfactory and no changes are proposed.

Calimesa IC/ID program is working fine. The City budget has not allowed the implementation of the Trash BMPs at this time; however we continue to ensure that we are in compliance with the program to the best of our ability as a result of current budget and staffing difficulties.

Canyon Lake

The City continues to maintain signage on all City owned drains with “Only rain down the Drain” provided by Riverside County Flood Control. All applicable ordinances in the Municipal Code are continually reviewed and updated for compliance. The City of Canyon Lake performs an annual cleanup of the community and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. In addition, Special Enforcement Officers patrol twice a week to remove trash and debris from within the community and BLM lands. The passing of Urgency Ordinance 134U has led to a substantial decrease in trash and debris in the BLM lands. The City has reviewed the IC/ID program and found our litter/trash BMPs to be sufficient.



Corona

As mentioned previously in the report, the City’s IC/ID program is implemented at a Citywide and multi-jurisdictional level to increase its effectiveness. The program is comprised of the following: a) The City of Corona is a co-participant in the County Health Department administered “Compliance Assistance Program” and performs follow-up inspections on facilities with potential illicit discharges and ordinance violations b) The City of Corona currently has staff members devoted to providing prompt follow-up to telephone calls and complaints concerning illicit discharges and/or improper disposal of pollutants into storm drain facilities c) We currently have an illegal dumping report and phone number available on the City’s website. d) DWP, Code Enforcement, Fire and Public Works departments work together to respond to violation events. Field staff also report potential violations as they are observed in the field to the NPDES Section. A response procedure flow chart was developed to better define department responsibilities. The NPDES Section follows up on all events to ensure proper notification and reporting requirements are followed as specified in the EC/S. Enforcement depends on the severity of the violation and may require immediate containment and clean up, verbal warnings, notices of violation, recovery of costs, and public education to the violator including handing out public education materials. e) Catch basin markers are placed on all catch basin inlets inspected throughout the City to convey “only rain in the storm drain” message to reinforce behavior regarding potential disposal of pollutants into storm drains. New Developments are required to place these markers on new catch basins and standards are incorporated into the land development review process. f) Residents in City of Corona can report illegal dumping from their iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or desktop browser through an application call SeeClickFix. By taking a picture, describing the situation, and allowing the application to automatically log the phone’s GPS position, the request will be sent to the correct City department to get each issue resolved fast and efficiently. The status of each request can be checked on SeeClickFix.com at anytime. This interactive media allows problems observed by the public, such as illegal dumping of pollutants into the storm drain, to be reported and addressed by the Public Works Department quicker and more efficiently. g) The City’s Development Plan Review process incorporates guidelines for the Public Works Department review of plans to make sure potential illegal connections are prevented. New Development and Significant Redevelopment projects are required to implement source control and treatment BMPs to reduce pollutant discharges. h) On-going reconnaissance is part of the yearly tasks and assignments of various streets maintenance crews. i) Public Works Inspection and NPDES Sections incorporate detection of illegal connections as part of regular construction and industrial/commercial inspections j) Catch basin inspection/cleaning conducted to minimize pollutant discharge and maintain program efficiency. HIGH, MED, LOW criteria given to inspection areas within City to better allocate resources and increase efficiency. K) Bi-weekly street sweeping program reduces pollutant load and therefore overall less frequency required for catch basin cleaning. l) Education on trash bin maintenance and recycling for business owners and households integrated with ind/comm inspections and litter/recycling campaign program “Keep Corona Beautiful” present at various community events. m)City has Green Waste Recycling Program. Residents may also request bulky item pick-up up to 3 times per year. n) City has a fenced Dog Park with waste baggie dispenser for proper disposal of pet waste. Through strong public education and awareness of City’s ordinances and fines, plan review and reconnaissance programs, we have been effective in eliminating potential illicit connections and reducing illegal discharges to Receiving Waters.

Through implementation of the programs described above we have been effective at reducing trash and litter discharges which could end up in the Receiving Waters. No adjustments are planned at this time.

Eastvale

The City of Eastvale reviewed and revised their IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed by the end of the Permit term.

Hemet Since the IC/ID program and CMP were recently approved (March 26, 2012), and IC/ID investigations are ongoing, no review or evaluation of the program was conducted in 2011-2012.




Lake Elsinore

The City’s program review showed the need for additional staffing, more consistent tracking/documentation, both through database and GIS and increased legal authority. The City’s efforts to revise its IC/ID Program included:

• Participation as Co-Permittee in a coordinated effort to update the DAMP Section 4.0, “Elimination of Illicit Connections and Illegal Discharges”;

• Purchase of software program designed specifically to assist in meeting MS4 permit requirements; • Participation in the Santa Margarita Watershed Cleanup event; • Implementation of “Municipal Facility Training” requirements for all field personnel; and • Cooperation with EVMWD in the creation of a GIS layer of the City’s Storm Drain System; • Adoption of an updated Stormwater quality ordinance which provides for the legal authority needed for enforcement; and • Involving other City Divisions, Public Works, Planning, Building, Administration, etc. in the prevention, detection and elimination of

IC/IDs.

Menifee Trash removal is provided by contract services and the County’s Landscaping and Lighting Districts. These contract services also provide street sweeping services. Illegal dumping is prohibited and enforced. The IC/ID program has been enhanced this past fiscal year with the addition of two code enforcement officers. This addition of staff will provide a 100% increase in the availability of staff to respond and enforce illicit discharges and illicit connections.

Moreno Valley

The City of Moreno Valley reviewed and revised its IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed by the end of the Permit term.

Norco The City’s program will continue as is has in the past. All reports of possible illegal connections are investigated with enforcement actions taken as necessary. Routine maintenance and inspections are made and if any illegal connections are found, follow-up actions/enforcement is taken.





Provision No. IX.G of the MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to review and evaluate their IC/ID program, including litter/trash BMPs, to determine if the program needs to be adjusted.

PERMITTEE

1. Please provide the findings of your review and evaluation.


Riverside

Illegal Connections and Illicit Discharges are detected and addressed through a variety of actions. The Environmental Compliance Section regularly inspects industrial and commercial businesses for any issues with the IC/ID program. Construction inspectors also inspect construction sites throughout the City for IC/IDs and storm drain maintenance personnel annually inspect all City channels and v-ditches to detect IC/ID issues. The City also operates the 311 Call Center through which the public can contact City for any of their needs, including concerns about the storm drain system. Periodically the City receives calls for illegal discharges and the City’s Code Enforcement Division responds.

Should an illegal connection or illicit discharge be detected during the activities mentioned above, appropriate enforcement action is taken, including verbal warnings, written warnings, notices of violation, fines, stop work orders, and notification to the Regional Board.

The City is also proactive in controlling litter and trash through a variety of programs. The City hosts monthly ‘Free Drop-off Days’ allowing residents to drop off residential trash, yard waste, tires, etc. Apart from these monthly opportunities, the City also hosts periodic ‘Clean Up Riverside’s Environment’ (CURE) events where residents are encouraged to bring bulky items and all manner of debris and waste to designated areas for proper disposal. These events provide residents with opportunities to dispose of trash, litter, and other debris in a manner that minimizes the impact on the environment.

Another program involves the continued operation of 35 solar-powered trash cans throughout the City. The trash cans are equipped with solar-powered compactors which can compress approximately 200 gallons of trash into a 40 to 60 pound cube. The cans are located in areas of the community which are prone to high volume foot traffic to encourage the proper disposal of wastes.

The City also continues to manage a street sweeping program that resulted in the collection of over 3,600 tons of material including over 120 tons of trash in FY 2011-2012. Through this program the City swept over 69,000 curb miles keeping City streets clean and limiting trash and debris going to the storm drain system.



Riverside County

The County of Riverside reviewed and revised their IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed by the end of the Permit term.

RCFC&WCD Operations and maintenance crews remove trash, litter, and debris from District facilities during routine maintenance. One staff person is assigned full time to inspect District facilities and report illicit activity to NPDES staff and maintenance crews. In addition, the District employs and Access database to help log and track complaints in including and not limited to, litter and trash in the Districts facilities. No adjustments to the program have been identified.

San Jacinto

Staff has revised and evaluated the IC/ID program and has determined that the existing procedures continue to be effective. During normal maintenance operations, staff will routinely look for signs of illicit discharges such as: swimming pool draining, pavement staining, oil spills or other evidence of illicit discharges. When such discharges can be traced back to a specific residence or business, staff will conduct a knock-and-talk with the occupants to provide educational information and to determine if a violation has occurred. The City incorporated a We-Tip Reward Program within the ordinance to permit proactive reporting of potential violations. The City also uses recording cameras to investigate locations where on-going problems are identified in order to facilitate investigations. In addition, two Public Works Supervisors who live in the city will conduct casual after-hours inspections.

352.6 T The City sends out notices to the hill areas of town reminding residents to clean their hillside v-ditches and storm drains which ultimately deposit runoff in City maintained storm drains. These notices are sent out yearly before the rainy season. No data is tracked on how much trash and debris is removed during this clean-up as it is done by the property owner. The City in conjunction with Waste Management offers two free dump days each year. With the large properties in the City, the free dump days affords the residents the opportunity to dispose of large trash items legally versus the items ending up on the street and making their way to storm channels. These two days reported 94.4 tons and 66.7 tons delivered to El Sobrante Landfill.

Litter Management Best Management Plan Evaluation

The Riverside County NPDES MS4 Permit Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has assessed the relative efficiency and cost effectiveness of anthropogenic litter management best management practices (BMPs). This assessment included available BMPs and the BMPs currently implemented for the control of anthropogenic litter including street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, deployment of trash receptacles, public education and MS4 maintenance. The Permittees also augment the litter management program through employee/contractor training, industrial/commercial activity inspections, recycling programs including bulk-item collection, participation in watershed clean-up efforts, and illegal dumping retrieval. The BMP assessment included a review of visual observation information collected by the Permittees regarding the materials collected from the MS4 (e.g., paper, plastic, wood, glass, vegetative litter and other similar debris) and descriptions of the main sources (e.g., office, residential, commercial and industrial waste) and problem areas. Based on this assessment, recommendations were provided for improving the effectiveness of the currently implemented measures and other appropriate BMPs to control anthropogenic litter in Urban Runoff. Visual Observation Procedures The Permittees recorded visual observations of anthropogenic litter removed from streets, storm drain inlets and the MS4 during the 2004-2005 Fiscal Year. The purpose of these visual observations was to collect information regarding the types of anthropogenic litter and their relative sources. A Visual Observation Form was developed by the TAC to record field observations of sources and types of litter found in the MS4. The Visual Observation Form was used by Permittee maintenance crews to record visual observations during catch basin cleaning and channel maintenance. Training on making the visual observations and completing the Visual Observation Form was provided to the maintenance crews by the maintenance supervisors and guidelines were also listed on the back of the form. One form was filled out per catch basin or other inlet structure when the structure was maintained and when anthropogenic sources of litter were collected from the system. The amount of each type of litter was calculated based on visual estimates of the total weight of the litter and the estimated percentage of each type of litter present. The total percentage of litter had to equal 100%. The surrounding land use observed in the field was also checked on the form to correlate the type of litter with the surrounding land use. Visual observation data was provided in the Permittee Annual Report submittals.



Review of Results of Visual Observations Materials Collected from the MS4 and Sources of Litter The majority of litter appears to originate from residential sources, with the remaining attributed to commercial activities. Litter associated with residential activities included common household waste including newspapers, cardboard, cans, glass, plastic bottles and landscaping wastes. Larger items collected consisted of building lumber, discarded propane tanks, signs and wooden posts, children's toys, furniture, and household appliances. Another noteworthy finding was the presence of larger quantities of litter in catch basins located near freeway interchanges and along commercial corridors. Preliminary findings of the visual observations indicate that on a weight basis, paper was the most prevalent type of litter. Paper was found to be distributed equally in residential and commercial areas and slightly less in industrial areas. The second most prevalent litter type was plastic. Plastic litter was found to be distributed equally amongst residential, commercial and industrial sources. Vegetative litter was not found in industrial areas, however wood and other types of litter (such as cement, plaster, Styrofoam, and brick) were found to be predominant in industrial areas. BMP Evaluation The Permittees utilized the information collected in this study to identify areas where street sweeping or catch basin cleaning may need to be intensified. Some conclusions can also be drawn based on the type of pollutants found (or not found) in land uses, which can be useful in developing targeted BMP programs. Street sweeping is performed on a regular basis and has been found to be adequate. Maintenance departments also include newly developed areas in sweeping and catch basin cleaning. Sweeping is typically increased as needed to address specific problem areas, seasonal (leaf season) or storm event considerations, or special public events. Recommendations for Improving the Effectiveness of Litter Management Based on Survey Results Based on the litter assessment, the TAC has determined that anthropogenic litter is not evenly distributed throughout the Permit area. To more effectively manage litter, the priority for implementation of litter BMPs should be in those locations with heaviest and most frequent litter accumulations. These areas vary and are known by Permittee maintenance staff. Examples of recommended improvements to litter management include the following:



• Streets are swept at higher frequencies in those areas that have higher accumulations of litter; • Catch basins that are known to accumulate more litter are cleaned on a more frequent basis; • Portions of the MS4 that accumulate more litter are cleaned more frequently; and • Consideration of parking controls or sweeping notices in residential areas where vehicles

parked along the street prevent the sweeper from clearing trash and debris.


PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 6 – Private Development Construction Activity Page 6-1

6. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY The initial construction site inspection program element was described in the Enforcement/Compliance Strategy (E/CS) as required by the 1996 MS4 Permit. The construction site inspection program has been an effective element of the Santa Ana Regional DAMP. During this reporting period, Section 7 of the DAMP has been revised to reflect the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. INVENTORY DATABASE In conformance with Provision No. XI.B.1, each Permittee continues to maintain and update an inventory database (or databases) of construction sites for which they have issued a building or grading permit. These databases are updated with new projects when the project is issued a building or grading permit or when the pre-construction meeting has occurred. Projects are removed from the database when construction is complete and the project's building or grading permit is closed. The inventory and database was initiated in October 2003 and was first reported in the 2003 Annual Report. An example of the inventory database is included as Figure 6-1 at the end of this section. Permittee databases are included with the respective Permittee submittal section of this report under Appendix J. Provision XI.B.2 requires each Permittee to inspect all inventoried construction sites, document relevant site information and include into the inventory database. In establishing priorities for inspection of construction sites, each Permittee shall also prioritize construction sites as high, medium or low threat to Receiving Water quality. Provision XI.A.2 and XI.B.3 require that each Permittee also conduct construction site inspections for compliance with its ordinances, including its Storm Water Ordinance, regulations, codes and the WQMP and that each Permittee document the number of inspections and actions taken and summarize those actions and report on them annually. When conducting construction site inspections, the Permittees' construction site inspectors, at a minimum, address the following items: • For projects of one acre or more, verify that an NOI has been submitted via the State Board

SMARTS system. Verification is typically made by reviewing a printed copy of the NOI showing the WDID Number issued for the site. As Permittees become aware of changes in ownership, Permittees will notify Regional Board staff.

• For projects of one acre or more, verify that a SWPPP is on-site.



• Verification that the BMPs implemented on-site are effective for the appropriate phase of construction (preliminary stage, mass grading stage, streets and utilities stage, etc.). Confirm compliance with the Co-Permittee's stormwater ordinance.

• Check for poorly managed authorized non-stormwater discharges or evidence of unauthorized non-stormwater discharges that may be potential illicit connections or illegal discharges to a MS4.

Some Co-Permittees have chosen to document this construction site inspection information on a separate form, while other Co-Permittees have chosen to incorporate this information into existing inspection forms. An example construction site inspection form is shown as Figure 6-2 at the end of this section. Based on the inspection findings, the Permittees implement follow-up actions as necessary to comply with the requirements of the 2010 SAR MS4 Permit.

INSPECTOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Provision Nos. XV.C require the Permittees to provide training to staff involved in inspecting construction sites. Permittee staff responsible for conducting construction site inspections receive annual training regarding the following topics: • The local jurisdiction's Stormwater Ordinance and other applicable local jurisdiction

resolutions and codes; • The 2010 MS4 Permit; • The Construction Activity Permits; and • The local jurisdiction's enforcement and compliance strategy/policy for construction sites. This annual training for construction site inspectors is conducted prior to October 1, the start of the rainy season. The Permittees ensure that newly-hired municipal staff or transferred municipal staff receive formal training within six months of beginning their inspection duties. A summary of the Permittees' efforts is provided in Table 6-1.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 7 – Industrial and Commercial Sources Page 7-1

7. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOURCES The Permittees' initial industrial and commercial sources program element was initially described in the Enforcement/Compliance Strategy as required by the 1996 MS4 Permit and was revised to address the requirements of the 2002 MS4 Permit. This included an expansion of the commercial businesses covered by the inspection program, required inventories/databases, prioritization of industrial and commercial sources relative to the potential to impact water quality, and specified inspection frequencies based upon facility priority. The industrial and commercial sources program will continue to have both regional and local jurisdiction components. Section 8 – Industrial and Commercial Sources of the DAMP has been revised to reflect the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit and was submitted to the Regional Board in July 2011.

CURRENT INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FACILITY INSPECTIONS

The Permittees have developed a mechanism to identify compliance of industrial and commercial facilities with local stormwater ordinances and, where applicable, potential non-compliance with California's General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities. Two main components of this existing program are the Compliance Assistance Program and the local POTW pre-treatment inspection programs. Compliance Assistance Program Regionally, the County implements the Compliance Assistance Program for oversight and inspection of industrial and commercial sources. This is the baseline program for the Santa Ana Region through the County's Department of Environmental Health. The inspections are performed at frequencies required for other State mandated programs. The Compliance Assistance Program involves a detailed stormwater compliance survey for: • Facilities that must secure a hazardous materials permit for storing, handling or generating

such materials, and • Retail food facilities. Many types of industrial and commercial establishments are inspected by the County's Department of Environmental Health Hazardous Materials Management staff including those that conduct automobile mechanical repair, maintenance, fueling, or cleaning operation, automobile or other vehicle body repair or painting operations, and painting or coating operations. There are approximately 8,900 facilities having a hazardous materials permit of which approximately 4,800 are inspected annually and all facilities are inspected at least once



during a two-year cycle. There are approximately 8,500 retail food facilities, all of which are inspected at least annually. The Compliance Assistance Program includes educational outreach to the inspected facilities and completion of a detailed stormwater compliance survey. Completed survey forms are forwarded to the respective municipality for inclusion into its database. The completed survey forms are prioritized and the respective jurisdiction's representative identifies those surveys that indicate non-compliance to initiate a follow-up inspection. In conducting a facility inspection, if it appears that the facility may be required to have coverage under the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities and the facility operator indicated that an NOI has not been filed, the inspector provides the facility operator with an informational sheet on the requirements of the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities. The inspector also documents the name, address, and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code of the facility. Blank copies of the forms used by the County's Department of Environmental Health when conducting these stormwater compliance surveys are included as Figures 7-1 (a) and (b) at the end of this section. The 2010 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to ensure that the stormwater compliance surveys of restaurants conducted as part of the Compliance Assistance Program address, at minimum: • Oil and grease disposal to verify that these wastes are not poured onto parking lots, streets

or adjacent catch basins; • Trash bin areas to verify that these areas are clean, the bin lids are closed, the bins are not

used for liquid waste disposal and wash water from the bins is not disposed into the MS4; • Parking lot, alley, sidewalk and street areas to verify that floor mats, filters and garbage

containers are not washed in those areas and that no wash water is disposed of in those areas;

• Parking lot areas to verify that they are cleaned by sweeping, not by hosing down, and that the facility operator uses dry methods for spill cleanup; and

• Violations of the stormwater ordinance are enforced by the Co-Permittee. These specific topics are addressed in Questions 1-8 of the "Food Facility Stormwater Compliance Survey" form included in Figure 7-1(a). Industrial/Commercial Facility Database Provision Nos. XI.A.1 of the Santa Ana Region MS4 Permit requires each Permittee to continue to update its industrial and commercial facilities database, including facility information,



priority, and inspection information. The database content may be Permittee specific, but contains minimum information that must be provided. Provision Nos. XI.A.2 requires a summary of the number of industrial and commercial facilities compliance surveys/inspections and the actions taken. A template spreadsheet was developed by the Permittees and is provided as Figure 7-2. Provision Nos. XI.C.1 & XI.D.3 require each agency to prioritize and inspect all inventoried industrial and commercial facilities. Provision XI. requires each Permittee to develop an inventory of the following commercial facilities/companies within its jurisdiction: • Mobile automobile or other vehicle washing/detailing (base of operations); • Mobile carpet, drape or furniture cleaning (base of operations); • Mobile high pressure or steam cleaning (base of operations); • Mobile equipment washing/cleaning (base of operations); • Nurseries and greenhouses; • Landscape and hardscape installation (base of operations); • Other Commercial Facilities that the Co-Permittee determines may contribute a significant

pollutant load to the MS4; • Facilities that transport, store, or transfer pre-production plastic pellets; • Managed turf facilities (e.g., private golf courses, athletic fields, cemetaries, and private

parks); and • Industrial Facilities defined in Attachment 1 of the Industrial General Permit. Permittee databases are included with the respective Permittee submittal section of this report under Appendix J – Permittee Reports. Inspection Requirements Provision No. XI.C.1 requires each agency's industrial facility compliance surveys and inspections to address the following items: • Verification of the type (or types) of industrial and/or commercial activities and facility

SIC codes; • Submittal of an NOI to comply with the General Industrial Permit, if applicable based upon

the facility's SIC code; • Compliance with the Co-Permittee's Stormwater Ordinance; • Observation for non-stormwater discharges, potential IC/IDs to the MS4;



• Potential discharge of pollutants in Urban Runoff from areas of material storage , vehicle or equipment fueling, or equipment maintenance (including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials handling or storage, delivery areas or loading docks, or other outdoor work areas;

• Implementation and maintenance of appropriate or minimum BMPs; • Qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of the BMPs implemented; and • Education regarding stormwater pollution prevention. The Permittees developed a template form to use during follow up site inspections. This form is provided as Figure 7-3. A summary of the Permittees' efforts is provided in Table 7-1. Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspector Training Provision No. XV.C of the Santa Ana NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit requires each Permittee to provide training to staff involved in conducting industrial facilities compliance surveys/inspections. Permittee staff responsible for conducting inspections as part of the Compliance Assistance Program or a Wastewater Pretreatment Inspection Program receive annual training regarding the following topics: • Selection, implementation, and maintenance of appropriate or minimum BMPs for

Industrial or Commercial Facilities; • The Industrial General Permit and NOI requirements; • The Co-Permittee's Stormwater Ordinance and other local jurisdiction resolutions and

codes related to protection of water quality; • The 2010 SAR MS4 Permit and the DAMP; • The local jurisdiction's enforcement and compliance strategy/policy for industrial and

commercial facilities; • How to provide guidance to Industrial and Commercial Facility operators on proper

selection, implementation and maintenance of BMPs and compliance with the requirements of the Stormwater Ordinance during site inspections; and

• TMDL requirements and appropriate BMPs to mitigate the impacts of Industrial and Commercial Facilities.

The Permittees ensure that newly hired municipal staff or transferred municipal staff receives informal training within six months of hire and formal training within one (1) year of hire. When planning formal classroom training related to conducting inspections of industrial or commercial facilities, the Permittees will notify, and coordinate with, Santa Ana Regional Board staff.



Permittee staff responsible for conducting industrial or commercial facility inspections may also attend training sponsored by professional associations (e.g., American Society of Civil Engineers, American Public Works Association, etc.), the California Storm Water Quality Association, and other area-wide MS4 Permittees, or other entities. A summary of the Permittees' training efforts is provided in Table 7-1.

Calimesa The City is very much aware of State/County agencies in the event they are needed to be called upon for any type of emergency, the City Code Enforcement Department/Public Works Department is very proactive and is on alert and constantly looking for any hazardous and environmental violations, which could impact the State, County and City water ways.

Canyon Lake The City of Canyon Lake has had one required inspection performed by Riverside County and another by Elsinore Municipal Water District (EVMWD). The City reports that the Riverside County Community Health Agency performed an NPDES inspection of Troy’s Pizza on May 30, 2012 (Attachment 14). Elsinore Municipal Water District performs water quality tests (Attachment 15) on behalf of the City of Canyon Lake.

Corona

City of Corona NPDES staff take the lead on enforcement issues related to our stormwater ordinance when referrals are made from other agencies such as County Department of Environmental Health, County Hazmat, and the Regional Board. NPDES staff also respond to referrals made from various City departments such as fire department, code enforcement, and building and safety regarding potential violations at industrial and commercial facilities. Once notification is received by NPDES staff, we typically follow up on all potential violations within two working days to ensure proper enforcement is taken per our ordinance and as described in the DAMP. In instances when a potential violation is referred to us but that facility is not in our jurisdiction, we ensure the proper agency is notified and send notification via e-mail to the appropriate Permittee contact.


Hemet The County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health (DEH) and the County Fire Department Hazardous Materials Division (HAZMAT) inspect Industrial and Commercial facilities in the City of Hemet through participation in the Compliance Assistance Program (CAP).


Lake Elsinore The City of Lake Elsinore reviewed its FY 2011/2012 records of inspections/enforcement actions carried out on behalf of the City. There were no enforcement actions on behalf of the City. The inspections performed through the CAP program were thorough and provided sufficient information for City staff to respond or investigate further if the results of the CAP inspection warranted. No change in procedures is advised.

Norco Any inspection that warrants follow-up by another department is logged and tracked for compliance. Inspection requests that come in from an outside agency are usually handled jointly with City staff meeting the other agency staff at the place of business to coordinate necessary activity.


Riverside

In FY 2011-2012 the City’s Environmental Compliance Section conducted over 1,900 stormwater inspections at a variety of businesses. Each inspection includes a review of the facility, their BMPs, and general storm water principles. Depending on the outcome of the inspection, appropriate action is taken to ensure businesses comply with all City ordinances pertaining to storm water. A detailed database continues to be maintained and contains information about each facility and inspection data. Inspection staff continues to evaluate each facility and assign a high, medium, or low priority as deemed appropriate by the inspection findings. As required, Inspection staff notifies businesses and the Regional Board when businesses are identified to need coverage under the State Industrial General Permit. In addition to inspections performed by the Environmental Compliance Section, the City participates in the Compliance Assistance Program (CAP). Through the CAP Program, an additional 281 facilities were visited and surveyed. Any issues found during these site visits were referred to the City’s Environmental Compliance Section and addressed appropriately.

Riverside County

Overall the Environmental Health CAP program supplemented by the Building & Safety Environmental compliance section are meeting compliance strategies.

RCFC&WCD The District has one staff person dedicated to IC/ID inspections. The District does not perform industrial/commercial inspections of private facilities.

San Jacinto The City participates in the Riverside County CAP program. During the period, the CAP program conducted five inspections of food establishments and twenty-four inspections of commercial/industrial facilities. The program is adequate.




SANTA ANA REGION NPDES MUNICIPAL STORMWATER PERMIT Provision No. XI.D.6 of the Permit requires each Permittee to notify all mobile businesses based or operating within their jurisdiction concerning the minimum Source Control and Pollution Prevention BMPs that they must develop and implement.

PERMITTEE 1. Please describe the efforts made to provide these notifications:

Beaumont The City requires all mobile businesses to obtain a permit before they can initiate such operations. At the time of request for conducting a mobile business the proponents of mobile businesses are given City’ s requirements for BMP’s for Pollution Prevention along with ordinance that contains more specific requirements and measures to be implemented.

Calimesa The City of Calimesa, Business License Department currently does not have any mobile business licenses that have been issued this reporting period. If, we were to receive a business license application for a mobile business the license clerk or other city staff would inform the applicant verbally about the required BMP’s , which must be followed while conducting business in the City of Calimesa. Once an application is approved and a business license is issued a handout is given to the applicant. See attached Exhibit "G" for handout.

Canyon Lake Chapter 5 of City’s Municipal Code requires that all businesses obtain a business license. The application requires businesses involving NPDES compliance to indentify such on the application before any licenses are approved. Information on compliance with NPDES is sent to all businesses that have noted this on their application. The business is required to acknowledge specific guidelines of the municipal code for mobile detailers. Mobile Detailers are required to sign a form that indicates that they are aware of the NPDES rules and regulations.

Corona

NPDES staff add new businesses to our industrial/commercial facilities database on a quarterly basis. This list of businesses is obtained from City business license applications. As businesses are added, they are categorized into a HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW priority based on their SIC and those businesses identified as mobile businesses with their base of operations in City of Corona are flagged in the database. Mobile businesses are assigned a HIGH priority initially and therefore will be inspected within one year of being added to the database. NPDES inspection staff visit these facilities and provide the owners with educational materials developed by City of Corona specifically for mobile operators regarding the minimum BMPs that are required to be implemented. Staff discuss expectations to use these BMPs when operating in Corona and anywhere in Riverside County. NPDES staff respond to complaints of mobile business operators discharging or potentially discharging non-stormwater into the MS4. The operators are provided the mobile business educational materials and are informed of the minimum BMPs to operate in City of Corona. If a business license has not been issued or if adequate BMPs cannot be implemented, the operators are told to immediately cease operations. A few times throughout the year, NPDES staff proactively perform after hour reconnaissance at commercial districts throughout the City to identify mobile operators in action and educate those that were found to be out of compliance. The same educational materials are provided and operators are informed of the minimum BMPs to operate in City of Corona. Staff have identified businesses such as trash enclosure and parking lot cleaners as more likely to operate late in the evening or early in the morning, therefore not within normal agency operating hours.

Eastvale City of Eastvale provides public education information to mobile businesses through business registration process. The city is sending out compliance notifications to mobile businesses as they are discovered working in the city.

Hemet

The City of Hemet identified mobile businesses based within, or operating within our jurisdiction by the following methods: • Internet search • City of Hemet business license database • Discovery of businesses operating within jurisdiction

Identified mobile businesses were mailed a copy of the City of Hemet Guidelines for Mobile Washing Businesses. See Attachment F


6Program Implementation Section 7 – Industrial and Commercial Sources Page 7-16


Lake Elsinore

The City NPDES Coordinator conducted research of local publications (penny saver, yellow pages, and internet advertisements) and City licensing records to prepare a list of mobile businesses operating within our jurisdiction. The mobile businesses on the list were then sent a letter and a flyer to educate them on the minimum Source Control and Pollution Prevention BMPs’. The City NPDES Coordinator also arranged to have sign off authority on Business License Applications thereby providing the opportunity to educate all new businesses in the City about stormwater quality.

Menifee Mobile business are conditioned to meet the minimum source control and pollution prevention BMPs during the planning application process and/or business registration process. Businesses currently operating within the City will receive educational materials on source control and pollution prevention BMPs with business registration renewal.

Moreno Valley

During this reporting period, the City of Moreno Valley utilized known business license information in order to identify all mobile businesses that were based or operating within its jurisdiction, and whose business practices were found to be potentially harmful to water quality. These Mobile Washing/Cleaning businesses were notified by letter, which included both education materials in both English and Spanish, explaining the minimum Source Control and Pollution Prevention BMPs that were appropriate for their type of operations. Businesses were also notified of the City’s requirement to routinely inspect their operations in order to verify compliance with local and regional water quality requirements as well as determine if appropriate BMPs were being implemented.

Norco Mobil Business are not permitted in Norco. Perris See Permittee Individual Report

Riverside

Mobile Businesses were sent a letter, survey, and BMP information in 2011. This was followed with phone calls to companies who responded to the survey. The City administers a mobile business certification program whereby new mobile washers come to the Water Quality Control Plant to demonstrate their process and recovery methods. In FY2011-2012, 2 companies came to the plant to demonstrate their process.

Riverside County

The Building and Safety Department business registration and licensing program is tasked with outreach to mobile businesses. They are sending out compliance notifications to mobile businesses as they are discovered working in the county.

RCFC&WCD N/A

San Jacinto The City has made an effort to identify all mobile businesses within the City through the business license program and provides copies of public education information that was developed by the Principal and Co-permitees.


Program Implementation Section 8 – Permittee Facilities and Activities Page 8-1

8. PERMITTEE FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES

PERMITTEE FACILITIES STRATEGY Provision XI.C of the 2002 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to continue to implement the recommendations in the Municipal Facilities Strategy (MFS) to ensure that public agency facilities and activities do not contribute pollutants to Receiving Waters. By August 1st of each year, the Permittees were to review their activities and facilities to determine the need for revisions to the MFS. The 2002 MS4 Permit required that the Annual Report include the findings of a review of the MFS, and a schedule for needed revisions. The MFS was initially developed during the 1996 MS4 Permit term and designed to provide guidance for identifying potential stormwater pollution problems and selecting candidate BMPs applicable to specific sources of stormwater pollutants associated with facilities identified by a Permittee. The 2002 MS4 Permit also required the Permittees to develop a revised DAMP and submit it to the SARWQCB by January 1, 2005. The DAMP revision process involved incorporating the MFS into a specific "stand-alone" section entitled "Permittee Facilities and Activities". As such, the guidance and information previously contained in the MFS is now contained in Section 5 of the revised DAMP. During the reporting period from August to November 2004, the draft DAMP was prepared by the Permittees for public review and contained the recommended revisions and format for BMP implementation at municipal facilities and activities. The DAMP also contained Fire Fighting BMPs that were developed in accordance with Permit provision XI.B. Section 5 of the DAMP has been revised to reflect the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit and was submitted to the Regional Board in July 2010.

CRITERIA FOR MS4 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Provision XI.D of the 2002 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to evaluate their established criteria for inspections of the MS4s and establish criteria for regular maintenance. The MS4 includes catch basins, open channels, and retention/detention basins. This information was initially required within six months of adoption of the 2002 MS4 Permit (by April 25, 2003) and was to be evaluated and reported annually. The current status of the Permittees' efforts is shown in Table 8-1. When evaluating the criteria for regular inspections of MS4 facilities, the following factors are considered:



• Time of year; • Type of facility (storm drain inlet, open channel, retention/detention basins); • Tributary watershed/land use considerations; • Proximity to Receiving Water; • Receiving Water beneficial uses and impairments of beneficial uses, historical pollutant

types and loads from past inspections/cleanings; • Regulatory restrictions (TMDL); and • Cost/benefit. When establishing the criteria for regular maintenance of MS4 facilities, the following factors are considered: • Time of year (pre-storm season, post storm season); • Type of facility (storm drain inlet, open channel, retention/detention basins); • Type of material accumulated in facility (hazardous, sanitary waste, litter, sediment,

vegetation); • Type of structural restoration needed; • Tributary watershed/land use considerations (urban/non-urban, industrial, commercial,

residential); • Proximity to Receiving Water; • Receiving Water beneficial uses and impairments of beneficial uses; • Historical pollutant types and loads from past inspections/cleanings; • Regulatory restrictions (TMDL); and • Cost/benefit.

BMP SITING STUDY In compliance with Provision XI.E of the 2002 MS4 Permit the Permittees completed an assessment of the MS4 to identify potential BMP siting opportunities in April 2004. This effort was designed to identify opportunities within the existing storm drain infrastructure for incorporating regional BMP retrofits to improve water quality and maintain receiving water designated beneficial uses. A Geographical Information System (GIS) model was used to initially identify possible retrofit locations that met selected search criteria. Sixteen sites were identified using the GIS model, and after coordination with the Permittees, ultimately eight sites from the GIS model were identified as potential opportunities for incorporating a regional BMP retrofit project. The Permittees also identified over 50 sites that currently provide a regional water quality function, as well as another five sites that may have the potential for a regional BMP retrofit.



The intent of this study was to identify potential BMP retrofit sites by developing and applying a logical, iterative selection and screening approach. The result of this study is not a defined implementation plan or water quality capital improvement program. Rather, the Santa Ana Region BMP Siting Study was undertaken to identify sites throughout the Santa Ana Region of Riverside County where there appear to be opportunities to further pursue regional projects for water quality improvement. Before potential sites identified herein can be implemented, additional site reconnaissance, design, environmental and permitting work would need to be conducted. Coordination with property owners would also be needed to determine if implementation of a BMP would be compatible with existing or planned site uses. As the Permittees are implementing source control measures and pursuing other potential water quality initiatives as discussed in the Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP), a process would need to be developed to determine how the potential BMP sites identified in this study would be prioritized and evaluated against other water quality initiatives. How to best implement retrofit BMPs also needs to be addressed, and funding sources need to be identified and budgeted. This BMP Siting Study is intended as an additional tool for the Permittees to use when considering which BMPs to implement from the array of source control and treatment control BMP options. This study also ensures that potential BMP retrofits aren't inadvertently foreclosed by other future and possibly less beneficial projects, and supports collaboration and decision making for incorporating regional BMPs where deemed feasible.

MS4 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Provision XI.G of the 2002 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to review and report MS4 maintenance procedures. The status of the Permittees' maintenance programs is also shown in Table 8-1.

FERTILIZER/PESTICIDE APPLICATOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Provision XIV.C.1 of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires that each Permittee applicator and contractor maintain appropriate training, permits and certifications. Fertilizers are applied by certain Permittees on a limited basis. In these cases, Permittee staff either applies the fertilizer or supervise contract staff performing the application. Permittee staff who are licensed to apply pesticides are required by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to meet continuing education standards. Licensing standards and procedures are established by the DPR and described in the California Code of Regulations, Title 3 (Food and Agriculture) and on the DPR website at http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/license/liccert.htm.

http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/license/liccert.htm



In addition, each Permittee is subject to the conditions of the Use Permit from the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner for the application of pesticides. The Use Permit requires Permittee staff to comply with various conditions including: requiring staff to be trained prior to and annually before handling pesticides; ensuring that equipment is maintained regularly; and ensuring pesticides are stored, transported, applied and disposed of properly. Implementation of BMPs to manage the application, storage and disposal of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers associated with Permittee facilities and activities are described in each Permittee Facility Pollution Prevention Plan (FPPP).

EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT

Section XVII.A of the 2010 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to evaluate the effectiveness of the Urban Runoff management program described in the DAMP. Further, the Permittees were also required to develop a proposal for assessment of the Urban Runoff management program effectiveness on an area wide as well as jurisdiction specific basis. Permittees utilized the CASQA Guidance for developing these assessment measures at the six outcome levels. The assessment measures targeted both water quality outcomes and the results of municipal enforcement activities consistent with the requirements of Appendix 3, Section IV.B. These new measureable metrics are consolidated within the summary table below for convenience.

SANTA ANA REGION NPDES MUNICIPAL STORMWATER PERMIT Provision No. XIV.A of the Permit requires each Permittee to annually review their activities and facilities to determine the need for revisions to Section 5 of the DAMP and their LIP.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the finding of this review and a schedule for any needed revisions to the LIP.

Beaumont

Calimesa At this time, no revisions are requested or required for our facilities, which include City Hall Complex, Library, Fire Station and Creekside Park.

Canyon Lake LIP has recently been completed and submitted to the Water Resources Control Board and will be implemented in May 2013. Further LIP updates will be mentioned in next year’s annual report.

Corona The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and therefore will not include requested information in this FY Annual Report. Per Permit provision IV.B, the Co-Permittees have 12 months (May 24, 2013) to complete the LIP and thus will provide applicable requested information within the subsequent FY 2012-2013 Annual Report. No facilities and/or activities necessitate revisions to the DAMP for this reporting year.

Eastvale The City of Eastvale does not own MS4 facilities, except storm drain facilities 36” and under /inlets/catch basins. The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and therefore will not include requested information in this FY Annual Report. Per Permit provision IV.B, the Co-Permittees have 12 months (May 24, 2013) to complete the LIP and thus will provide applicable requested information within the subsequent FY 2012-2013 Annual Report.



Lake Elsinore The DAMP was reviewed and revised on a Permittee-wide/Regional basis; the LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 as such, it is not effective until May 24, 2013 and therefore will not be included in this FY Annual Report.

Menifee

The LIP Template is currently being updated to meet the 2010 MS4 Permit. The LIP shall be approved by March 24, 2012, as required by the MS4 Permit and the Regional Board LIP Template approval date. The LIP is being reviewed to provide guidance and procedures to implement the 2010 MS4 Permit. The LIP will provide City staff and developers with a clear understanding of the City’s requirements to adhere to the MS4 Permit. The City has been implementing infiltration BMPs as a requirement for development since the adoption of the 2010 MS4 permit. The developers have coordinated with the City to incorporate infiltration BMPs into their site plans.


Norco No revisions are scheduled at this time. Perris See Permitee Individual Report



Riverside The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and, consequently, the City’s LIP is still in the process of being written. This information, however, is being used and will help shape the final contents of the LIP.

Riverside County No revisions at this time.

RCFC&WCD The LIP template was not approved by SA Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and thus per permit provision IV.B, the Permittees have one year to complete the lip template. Information regarding LIP updates as a result of current and ongoing evaluations of program effectiveness will be reported on in the subsequent FY 12-13 annual report. If it is found that changes need to be made to Section 5 of the DAMP as a result of LIP implementation, such changes will be noted in the subsequent Annual Report.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of this review.

Beaumont

Calimesa

The City’s facilities include, City Hall complex with Senior Center, Library, Fire Station and a city park known as “Creekside Park”. These facilities are maintained and monitored by the Public Works Department. All of our facilities generate green waste, which is placed in green waste containers provided by our franchise trash hauler CR&R, Inc. The City does not and will not use any herbicides, pesticides or any liquid fertilizers at any of our facilities. We aureate our soils so that there is proper so that there is proper absorbs ion to our landscaped areas for the purpose of eliminating run off. We are very conscious about water usage and water conservation.

The Public Works Department maintains all parkway maintenance, street maintenance and storm drain maintenance throughout the City of Calimesa. The City does contract with a licensed , insured and bonded contractor who maintains city right-of-ways, eradicating weeds, which the City closely monitors twice a year. Please see attached licensing information.

The City is in compliance with chapter 5 of the DAMP and does not cause or contribute to any pollution(s) or nuisance(s) in any receiving waters.

Canyon Lake The City of Canyon Lake does not own or operate any municipal facilities.

Corona

Each facility’s FPPPs were reviewed during annual inspection this year. The Street Maintenance Yard (or Transfer Station) was temporarily moved to the Corporation Yard during this reporting year. The Corporation Yard’s FPPP covered the BMPs that are to be implemented with operation of the Transfer Station at this location. Next fiscal year, the Transfer Station will be moved to a permanent new location and a new FPPP will be developed for that site.

Eastvale The City of Eastvale does not own MS4 facilities that require FPPP

Hemet A review of the City of Hemet inventory of fixed facilities revealed there is a Facility Pollution Prevention Plan in place for the City Corporation Yard. Pollution Prevention Plans are currently being developed for the City Police Department and Fire Stations (4). The existing FPPP for the Corporation Yard was updated in January 2012 to ensure appropriate BMPs were included.




Lake Elsinore The review of existing facilities identified the need for additional BMP’s at the Corporate Yard. The needed BMP’s would limit material and equipment exposure to rain and wind. Due to budget constraints the implementation of these BMPs has not been accomplished. The City continues to seek supplemental funding sources to meet this need.

Menifee The existing Facility Pollution Prevention Plan meets the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. No revisions or updates were required.

Moreno Valley

As required by Provision No. XIV.B. of the permit, The City of Moreno Valley reviewed its designated fixed facilities, associated field operations and/or City owned/operated facilities to ensure that each facility is in fact addressed by a site specific Facility Pollution Prevention Plan. Each Existing Facility as well as its Pollution Prevention Plan was reviewed and analyzed in order to determine if the correct BMPS continue to function properly and are being adequately maintained for that facility’s particular needs. FPPPs were not updated based upon the review. During this reporting period, no City facility was found to be causing or contributing to pollution or nuisance in Receiving Waters as defined in Section 13050 of the Water Code. With regard to the reviewed and continual assessment of BMP placement and/or maintenance, all applicable BMPs utilized by City owned/operated facilities were found to be functioning correctly.

Norco

The City has obtained a permit from Riverside County EPA and follows the guidelines and BMP requirements listed in the permit. All storage areas are covered and/or enclosed which house all equipment, maintenance materials, Hax-mat, etc. Only vehicles and aggregates storage areas are not covered. The facility also has a silt separator which is cleaned by the City’s contract pipe cleaner on a regular basis.


Riverside In Fiscal Year 2011-2012, the City of Riverside developed new Facility Pollution Prevention Plans for 14 City facilities. Inspections were performed at various sites in an effort to find any issues with City facilities and provide improvements on existing plans.




SANTA ANA REGION NPDES MUNICIPAL STORMWATER PERMIT Provision No. XIV.B of the Permit requires each Permittee to review its inventory of fixed facilities listed in the DAMP, its field operations and MS4 facilities to ensure that Permittee facilities and activities are addressed by Facility Pollution Prevention Plans consistent with Chapter 5 of the DAMP and do not cause or contribute to a Pollution or Nuisance in Receiving Waters. Existing FPPPs must also be reviewed to ensure proper BMPs for these facilities. The findings of this review are to be provided in the 2011/2012 Annual Report.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of this review.

Riverside County All facilities that require a FPPP plan including fire stations, transportation maintenance facilities, and parks are in place and are reviewed annually to ensure compliance.

RCFC&WCD The District’s Corporate Yard is the only facility that requires an FPPP. During February of this FY, District staff performed an inspection of the Corporate Yard in conjunction with reviewing the FPPP to ensure its ongoing accuracy. No changes were recommended to the FPPP as a result of this review.

San Jacinto Due to the unique geography that our jurisdiction resides in, we very fortunate that our stormwater doesn’t reach any receiving waters. This is due to a multitude of factors such as an expansive distance between the two, natural percolation rates and natural terrain. This distinctive situation is documented by our downstream neighbors through an extensive study conducted by them which conclusively demonstrates this case.





Provision No. XIV.C of the Permit requires each Permittee to annually conduct inspections of its fixed facilities and field operations identified in Chapter 5 of the DAMP to ensure that they do not contribute Pollutants to receiving waters.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of these inspections.

Beaumont

Calimesa The City does not have any pollutants going out to any receiving waters. The City continues to ensure that we are in compliance with Chapter 5 of the DAMP.

Canyon Lake The Canyon Lake Community Patrol, Special Enforcement and Code Enforcement Officers perform visual inspections, monitor discharge sites and perform periodic water quality tests. The City finds the following procedures to be adequate in addressing Chapter 5 of the DAMP and Provision No. XIV.C of the Permit.

Corona Annual facility inspections conducted this reporting year found all facilities to be in compliance. Due to the temporary relocation of the Transfer Station at the Corporation Yard, additional BMPs were recommended to prevent transport of pollutants off-site. A follow-up inspection was conducted and the BMPs were implemented as advised.

Eastvale The City of Eastvale does not own MS4 facilities that require FPPP.

Hemet

A recent inspection of the City of Hemet Corporation Yard found that improvements were needed in the areas of chemical and materials storage, housekeeping practices, protection of onsite storm drains and cleaning of parking lots and other impervious surfaces. Staff at the Corporation responded immediately to remove trash and debris, sweep the parking lots and other impervious surfaces, cover soil piles, and installed BMPs to protect storm drains. More frequent inspections are planned to ensure that appropriate BMPs are routinely implemented.


Lake Elsinore

Facilities are routinely maintained by City Staff. This maintenance includes trash/debris removal, structural maintenance, parking lot sweeping, landscape maintenance, vector control. Lake, Park and Recreation Department and Facilities Maintenance Staff have attended NPDES municipal training. The routine maintenance activities serve to ensure the potential for discharge of pollutants is kept to a minimum. The Corporate Yard serves as the storage facility for the Lake, Park, and Recreation Department and Public Works Department. While BMP’s are deployed to limit / prevent the discharge of pollutants, additional BMP’s are necessary. The additional BMP’s would provide for coverage of materials and equipment.

Menifee

Moreno Valley

As required by Provision No. XIV.C. of the permit, The City of Moreno Valley conducted compliance inspections of its fixed facilities and field operations. Documentation of the inspection findings are noted on City prepared inspection forms and are kept in that facility’s specific Facility Pollution Prevention Plan. It is noted that per the permit requirements, each Facility Pollution Prevention Plan is verified to address the minimum requirements set forth in Section C.1 – C.6.IV. During the 2011-2012 Annual Reporting period, it was observed that none of the City’s fixed facilities or field operations were causing or contributing to pollution or nuisance in Receiving Waters.







Norco Every inlet/catch basin that is inspected is evaluated for maintenance needs. Maintenance is scheduled depending upon condition of the structure. During cleaning of inlets and basins, the storm drain system is monitored for irregularities and maintenance follows, pending needs. Replacement is usually done in kind except for CMP structures in roadway areas which are replaced with RCP.


Riverside In Fiscal Year 2011-2012, 15 City facilities were inspected to ensure they do not contribute pollutants to receiving waters. Most facilities were found in good condition with no issues affecting storm water quality. Where any issues were found, plans to address any deficiencies were initiated and acted upon.

Riverside County Inspection of county fixed facilities requiring an FPPP have been inspected with no major violations noted.







RCFC&WCD A total of 1,832.70 work hours were logged in the field assessing District Facilities. In addition, our maintenance staff logged the following waste removal numbers: Debris: 873 Tons; Sediment Removed: 35,960 CY; Trash Removed: .61 Ton;

San Jacinto

City staff currently maintains 23 retention basins located in both commercial and residential developments that are routinely maintained, but minimally inspected once per year. New development storm drain systems are evaluated to treat/capture substantial pollutants/debris prior to discharge via pump systems. Staff also maintains other numerous retention basins located within park/recreational areas. These park retention basins are maintained and inspected routinely by staff and contract maintenance providers. These storm water retention basins serve as natural filtration facilities of sediment and debris, consequently pre-treating storm water.





Provision No. XIV.D of the Permit requires each Permittee to annually review, update, and implement the individual clean out schedules and frequency for its MS4 facilities.

PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of the review and any updates of the MS4 facility clean out schedule.

Beaumont Calimesa The City continues to review, update as necessary and implement our clean out schedules for our MS4 Facilities. See attached prevention.

Canyon Lake

The City of Canyon Lake has reviewed the annual clean out schedules of the MS4 facilities and found them to be adequate in eliminating discharge to the MS4. The City of Canyon Lake removed 1.5 tons of debris from the catch basins and inlet lines in November before the rainy season, which is a substantially less amount than the previous year. In addition to each catch basin cleaning, the City removed debris in February along the entrance to the East Gate from nearby storm drains.

Corona

Annual inspection is typical for the storm drain system, with more frequent schedules for facilities that pose greater threat to discharge pollutants into the receiving waters. Regular maintenance is conducted as a result of schedules and inspections. Cleaning frequency is based on the following priorities; Low: Low density residential areas, areas with no prior history of illegal dumping, problems and/or complaints Medium: Medium density residential areas, areas with modest amount of landscaping, collector streets, storm drain facilities with few complaints, problems or history of an isolated incident that occurred in the past with no visible reoccurring pattern, facilities that had significant types and amounts from past inspections or cleaning. High: High density residential, commercial and industrial area, areas with significant amount of landscaping, major arterial, primary and secondary streets, facilities that discharge directly to Receiving Water and are classified under the Medium category above, facilities that have been found to contain significant amounts of toxic pollutant based on past inspection cleaning. Analysis of the data collected during facility cleanout identifies areas of higher priority and cleanout schedules are adjusted accordingly.

Eastvale Current schedule is found to be adequate

Hemet City of Hemet maintenance staff continues to perform routine maintenance in MS4 facilities on an annual basis, including removal of trash and debris, vegetation, sediments, and repair of erosion damage. Frequency of clean out is dependent upon need, which is determined by ongoing facilities inspections.


Lake Elsinore City of Lake Elsinore Public Works Maintenance Staff schedule every Tuesday for inspection and cleanout of MS4 facilities. Additional cleanout is conducted on an as needed basis during the rainy season or as a result of a complaint. This is an area where additional staffing would be helpful to ensure all facilities are reviewed annually.







Menifee

The City of Menifee’s catch basins and open channels are inspected and cleaned prior to the rainy season. Routine maintenance is implemented and is a result of the following:

• Follow up actions to correct deficiencies noted during inspection • Contracted street sweeping company to reduce debris. • Complaints or requests from outside sources. • Type of facility.

Moreno Valley

For Publicly Owned Facilities Maintained by City: In 2012, the Maintenance and Operation Division Manager reviewed, updated and prepared a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the inspection and clean out schedule for the City’s MS4 facilities including streams, ditches, storm sewers, and storage basins. The SOP is available in the Public Works Department Maintenance and Operations Division for review. The SOP will be made a part of the Local Implementation Plan (LIP). For Privately owned Facilities Maintained by City: Through contracts with Homeowners Associations, the City maintains 25 water quality basins/vegetated swales. The basins/swales are inspected at a minimum on a monthly basis and more frequently during the rainy season. Maintenance and cleanout schedules are per maintenance contract arrangements with the HOA and the City’s maintenance contractor. Staff routinely evaluates the cleaning frequency of these facilities to protect Receiving Water Quality consistent with the MEP standard.

Norco Inspections are performed prior to the rainy season, beginning in September. Every inlet/catch basin is scheduled for inspection. Perris See Permitee Individual Report

Riverside

The City’s Storm Drain Maintenance Section provides frequent, routine maintenance of the storm drain system including cleaning of pipes, channels, basins, and outlets.

Riverside

The City’s Storm Drain Maintenance Section inspects and cleans MS4 facilities throughout the year. Storm Drain Maintenance Section staff have divided the City into various sections to facilitate the tracking of maintenance. A member of this crew travels throughout a section of the City inspecting the various parts of the storm drain system. Any channels, catch basins, or other parts of the system requiring maintenance are identified and a work order is given to maintenance personnel. This process is continued from section to section until all MS4 facilities have been inspected and maintained.

Riverside County

County MS4 inspections are done on a daily basis by Transportation Department staff with cleanout scheduled and completed prior to the beginning of the rainy season in October of each year and on an as need basis between October and April.







RCFC&WCD

Time of Year – Maintenance is generally scheduled as a result of the inspection program described above. This maintenance generally occurs before the wet season, with additional maintenance repairs during the wet season as needed. Type of facility – As with inspections, larger basins with dams regulated by the Division of Safety of Dams receive regular maintenance. Maintenance of other MS4 facilities is performed as a result of the inspection program and specifically conducted prior to the wet season. Type of material – Material types generally include either soil/sediment that can be reused or debris/litter/vegetation. Soil/sediment material can be removed and utilized by either RCFC or local contractors. Any hazardous materials discovered within a Flood Control facility are promptly removed by a licensed contractor. Type of structural restoration needed – MS4 facilities may require maintenance following rainfall events, which may consist of restoration of line and grade, removal of debris or other types of maintenance. Depending on the severity of the repairs needed, and the risk to public health and the environment, repair and/or maintenance work is prioritized by District Maintenance staff. Preventative maintenance is also implemented for areas with exposed (unvegetated) surfaces may include hydroseeding prior to the rainy season for stabilization and to prevent erosion/sediment transport to Receiving Waters. Hydroseeding can also be a cost effective measure to prevent sediment and debris accumulation in MS4 facilities as opposed to channel maintenance after sedimentation has occurred. Other maintenance measures involves ensuring adequate fencing is in place to prevent illegal access and dumping. Tributary watershed/land use – Where feasible and applicable, improvements may be considered for facilities that are known to have been subject to regular sediment and debris accumulation, or other types of maintenance. Examples include maintenance improvements following storm events at Perris Valley storm drain near Nuevo Road and Day Creek downstream of Limonite. Proximity to Receiving Waters & consideration of Beneficial Uses – Criteria for maintenance is similar to criteria for inspections described above. Maintenance priority is set as a result of inspections based on the risk to both public health and the environment. . Historical pollutant types & loads from past inspections/cleanings – Areas that are known to accumulate sediment and debris in the rainy season are targeted for maintenance. An example includes the Woodcrest Dam in the City of Riverside. Maintenance of other facilities is scheduled based on the findings of the inspections. Regulatory restrictions (TMDL) – As described for inspection criteria, facilities upstream of Receiving Waters are inspected and maintained prior to the wet season (October) so as to be clear to convey design storm flows. Wildlife nesting, spawning, and similar habitat issues are addressed and maintenance is scheduled around specific timeframes for habitat and nesting seasons. Cost/benefit – As in criteria for inspections, sediment removal from basins is a more efficient use of resources than clearing sediment and debris that has reached channels and pipes. Therefore, inspections and subsequent maintenance are focused on keeping basins clear and minimizing problematic sediment accumulation in channels and pipes.







San Jacinto Maintenance schedules to storm water facilities are based and adjusted on visual inspections, weather, and other conditions to reduce storm water impacts. To improve storm facility efficiency, a majority of storm water facilities are normally inspected and maintained at least once per year. High volume/impact storm water systems are generally inspected and maintained on a monthly basis.

DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Program Implementation Section 9 – Development Planning Page 9-1

9. DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Water Quality Management Plan The 2002 MS4 Permit required that within 20 months of the 2002 MS4 Permit adoption (i.e., by June 25, 2004) the Permittees develop a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) identifying BMPs, including design standards for source control and structural BMPs, that are to be applied for certain categories of New Development and Significant Redevelopment. Specific requirements were contained in 2002 MS4 Permit provision VIII. During this reporting period, the Permittees developed a revised WQMP that was submitted to the Regional Board July 29, 2011. WQMP Development, Public Notice, Comment Period, and Submittal The Permittees initiated the process during FY 2003-2004 to develop the WQMP for submittal to the SARWQCB within the timeframes to comply with provision VIII. Final revisions and submittal to the Santa Ana RWQCB occurred during FY 2004-2005 based on the following chronology of events. The 2010 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to update the WQMP to address LID principles and HCOC consistent with the MEP standard. The updated WQMP is required to be submitted within 18 months of Permit adoption (i.e. July 29, 2011). Significant Events - FY 2003-2004

Attendees included representatives from various city/county planning and engineering departments. The Permittees initiated development of a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) committee to facilitate consistent implementation of the WQMP. The WQMP meeting is anticipated to be held, as needed, but at least quarterly. The Permittees are also working on revised BMP guidance to ensure the maintainability and functionality of BMPs. The guidance will focus on BMPs to address TMDL impairments.


• October 10, 2006 The Permittees recognized the need to provide guidance to help ensure consistent WQMP implementation. The Permittees began

developing a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document



through a number of email exchanges between Work Group members. On October 5, 2006, Permittees met to develop a consensus on a final version of the FAQ document. In this meeting participants thoroughly discussed the concepts and the wording for each of the 28 questions in the FAQ. The result of this effort is documented in the final FAQ completed on October 10, 2006.

• November 14, 2006 District staff met with Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to

evaluate opportunities to discuss how WQMP implementation would address MWD's concerns with protecting water quality in Lake Mathews.


• August 2, 2007 The Flood Control District, Riverside County and the MWD discussed assessing the current level of water quality protection for Lake Mathews, and maximizing existing programs (i.e. the WQMP) to address MWD's concerns with protecting water quality in Lake Mathews.


• Ongoing The District continued to develop an enhanced LID BMP Design manual, focused on landscape-based BMPs capable of addressing identified water quality impairments within the Santa Ana Watershed. The first release of this LID BMP Design Manual is expected in early 2011.

• Ongoing Continued progress for the District's LID Project, which proposes to construct, test and evaluate a variety of integrated management practices (IMPs) that serve as hydraulic and hydrologic controls consistent with the LID planning and design approach. In addition, the project proposes monitoring and testing components.

The Regional Board reviewed and provided comments on the document in late 2011 and the Permittees submitted a revised draft on June 28, 2012. Even though it is outside this reporting period, the Regional Board approved the WQMP and associated documents on October 22, 2012.

WQMP implementation provides further protection of Receiving Waters by building on existing programs to manage Urban Runoff from New Development and Significant Redevelopment projects under the jurisdiction of the Permittees. The WQMP provides a project planning and design framework that identifies the post-construction BMPs that must be implemented for projects that require discretionary approval. The currently effective WQMP identifies three major categories of post-construction BMPs to be addressed by New Development and Significant Redevelopment during the project planning and design phase: • Site Design BMPs; • Source Control BMPs; and • Treatment Control BMPs. The WQMP provides guidelines for project-specific post-construction BMPs, as well as the option of utilizing regional and sub-regional Treatment Control BMPs to manage Urban Runoff



quantity and quality. In addition, the WQMP provides an outline for preparation of project-specific WQMPs. Project applicants must submit a project-specific WQMP to the local jurisdiction for review and approval prior to discretionary approval of a map or permit. The impact of WQMP requirements on project proponents and the planning and permitting function of the local jurisdiction will vary greatly depending upon the size of the project under consideration. The existing Riverside County WQMP Section 2.3 requires the Permittees to document their procedures for WQMP administration and include a description of departments with implementation responsibility. WQMP implementation procedures are contained in each agency's specific Annual Report (Appendix J). The Permittees have several departments involved in implementing and/or administering WQMP requirements. Table 9-1 (shown below) has been edited to reflect the current departments with primary and secondary responsibility for providing conditions of approval.

The results of this analysis will be used in preparing the Watershed Action Plan described in Section XII.B of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The Permittees will begin work on the delineation of existing unarmored and soft-armored stream channel in the Permit Area that are vulnerable to hydromodification from New Development and Significant Redevelopment projects. The mapping of the susceptible streams was completed in January 2012. The WQMP update that was submitted to the Regional Board in July 2011 also incorporated new criteria for determining if a development project could create a Hydrologic Condition of Concern, and then mitigating any such impacts. The Permittees have coordinated with Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) in their efforts to develop technical hydromodification guidance for Southern California. The Permittees have provided comments on the monitoring protocols used in the study, identifying sites that fit the site selection criteria, and by offering in-kind services for the survey work needed. Additional information on the SCCWRP efforts has been described in past annual reports. Regional Treatment Control BMP Procedure Per Permit provision XII.D.5, the Permittees developed a procedure for streamlining regulatory agency approval of regional Treatment Control BMPs.

Program Overview The Riverside County NPDES Permittees have established an ongoing watershed based public education and outreach program known as the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" pollution prevention program. The specific objectives of the public education program include:

• Fostering a broad public awareness of water pollution concerns; • Increasing public acceptance of pollution prevention activities to curtail everyday

human behaviors that contribute to water quality problems; • Educating/informing the general public, regulators and key local government and

state decision makers on Urban Runoff conditions in Riverside County; and • Promoting stewardship of local water resources in both English and Spanish.

The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program implements the public awareness objectives by focusing on three areas of pollutant reduction/prevention:

• Public Behavior; • Proper Management of Pollutants; and • Business Specific Education Outreach.

In addition, when attempting to make use of the finite resources available for the Public Education program, the Permittees use these management goals to ensure that resources are used effectively:

• Focusing on pollutants of concern specific to each watershed region; • Coordinating public education efforts with adjacent stormwater management

programs and other related education programs to share resources, coordinate outreach efforts, and avoid costly duplication of effort; and

• Adapt public education programs and objectives, based on effectiveness analysis, to address changing MS4 programs and objectives.



Program Highlights To assist with developing the most effective public education program possible, the Permittees opted to issue a Request for Qualifications from qualified firms for support in developing and enhancing our public education program in Fiscal Year 2010-2011. As part of the response to the Request for Qualifications, each consultant was asked to evaluate and critique our existing programs and recommend enhancements that could be used to improve the effectiveness of our outreach. Five firms responded to the RFQ and Stephen Groner and Associates (SGA) was selected to assist us with making necessary enhancements. Major recommendations of the assessment included:

• Refocusing the school education programs on a larger assembly format that would be highly interactive and visual. This revised format would allow for more students to be educated within any given fiscal year and likely increase their interest and retention of the subject matter through clearly linking water quality impacts to local activities, wildlife and neighborhoods.

• Reducing the use of one-time "impression" promotional items and outreach activities in favor of developing permanent channels of communication to target audiences via electronic newsletters, social media and other methods.

• Updating and revising the Permittees' public education website to better target key audiences, integrate social media and e-newsletters and collect necessary information, such as e-mail addresses, so that continuous channels of communication can be developed with key audiences.

• Updating and revising brochures to be more visual in nature and less text-centric. The goal of the revised brochures would be to capture the interest of key target audiences and direct them to the website where they could learn more about the subject matter and also provide us with contact information for future outreach.

To implement the recommendations and findings, a Countywide public education committee was formed to help drive and direct the development of the new programs. During the period of contract negotiation and formation of the public education sub-committee, existing outreach efforts were maintained at minimum levels so that resources could be focused on developing and implementing revised outreach programs. The revised school education program was rolled out the last quarter of this fiscal year as well as the first of planned quarterly e-newsletters. E-mail lists of key targeted stakeholders were also initiated and efforts to collect new contact information were also rolled out towards the end of



the fiscal year. It is expected that the full revamp of the public education program will be a multi-year effort, with this reporting year serving as the key transitional period. Other enhancements to public education outreach and reporting will also be coordinated with the update of existing compliance programs required by the 2010 MS4 Permit.

Santa Ana Pollutants of Concern Based on monitoring data collected to date, the current 303(d) List and discussions among the Permittees and stakeholders, the following Pollutants of Concern were established for this watershed. More discussion on the selection of preventative pollutants of concern can be found in the monitoring section of this report. After each identified pollutant, specific BMP outreach activities are identified to address the pollutant:

• Sedimentation associated with Urban Development and Land Uses • Construction, municipal, industrial/commercial and new development training

focusing on the need to address erosion control and sedimentation within the watershed;

• County Building Inspectors distributed 'After the Storm' brochure during site visits;

• Distributed the Stream Bank Stabilization Fact Sheet; • Distributed the Landscape and Gardening brochure; • Construction activities outreach materials are available during the regularly

scheduled Permittee employee training sessions; • Distribution of dust pans featuring the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain"

message to promote the dry cleaning of driveways and impervious surfaces; • Distribution of sponges and shop cloths to promote clean-up of spills and not

letting them discharge into the storm drain; and • Adult stormwater education presentations include instruction on controlling

erosion.

• Nutrients associated with Urban Development and Land Uses • The Agricultural Commissioner assists in the distribution of "Only Rain Down

the Storm Drain" materials. County Waste Management has the After the Storm brochure available at their composting workshops;

• Keep Our Water Clean a video that focuses on proper use of fertilizers and avoiding excess runoff from sprinklers;

• Specific section within municipal employee training that focuses on the need to address increased nutrients within the watershed;

• A section of the County's Household Hazardous Waste flyer is dedicated to incoming residents about safe disposal of hazardous waste and includes the 1-800 hotline number to report illegal disposal into the storm drain;

• Distributed the After the Storm brochure; • Distributed the Landscape and Gardening brochure; • Distributed the updated Pet Waste What's the Scoop brochure; and • Distributed the Tips for Horse Care brochure covering equestrian care and



management.

• Pathogens associated with Urban Development and Land Uses • Construction, municipal, industrial/commercial and new development training

focusing on the need to address pathogen sources within the watershed; • Contracted with SGA to distribute pet waste information in pet stores,

veterinarian clinics, kennels and pet grooming facilities; • Coordination with Riverside County Animal Control Department and private

"no kill" pet shelters to distribute What's the Scoop and After the Storm brochures to families adopting pets at the shelters;

• Distributed the Landscape and Gardening brochure; • Distributed the Tips for Maintaining a Septic Tank System brochure. This

information is also included in the County's Septic Tank Guide Booklet; and

In addition, the District has developed other outreach materials to focus on other pollutants and pollutant causing activities/businesses commonly associated with urban runoff. 24-hour Watershed-Wide Outreach Portals The Permittees maintain three 24-hour watershed wide portals to receive and distribute information regarding the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program. These portals include a website, a 1-800 Number and an e-mail address. Also links to the District main page on the County's main page and other websites aid users in reporting illegal storm drain disposal and obtaining printed materials. Only Rain Down the Storm Drain Website The District operates a website that provides information on how to report illegal dumping, clogged storm drains, and lack of curb markers, as well as provide information on upcoming activities, opportunities for public participation in program development and general information about Urban Runoff pollution prevention techniques. The current website is located at: http://www.rcflood.org/stormwater/. There is also a link on the County's main page advocating reporting illegal storm drain disposal by clicking on the familiar "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" logo. Most of the District's outreach materials are on the public information webpage including brochures that have been scanned into electronic .pdf file formats and are available for download. Online order forms and phone numbers are also available to assist internet customers in obtaining brochures, posters and promotional items that are not available for viewing online. Currently the public information webpage is under revision to be updated with new targeted audiences (mobile businesses), new topics (LID), new interactive menus for BMPs, and focus on

http://www.rcflood.org/stormwater/



new or concerned discharges (irrigation runoff and grey water discharges) among other significant changes. The purpose of the website update is to enhance its ability to outreach to key audiences and integrate social media where appropriate. The current website contains pages specific to the following target audiences:

• General Public/Residents • Businesses • Developers • Contractors • Schools and Teachers • Kids Page

In addition, the current website contains links to:

• Assist viewers in locating their watershed • An online media library • Materials order form • Reporting illegal storm drain disposal

The District tracks the number of hits to its public education website. An overhaul of the Public Education website is planned as part of the new public education contract. Results for the District's webpage counter report are included in Appendix E. Stormwater Toll Free 1-800 Hotline A Toll Free "800" telephone number (1-800-506-2555) for reporting suspected stormwater pollution and obtaining pollution prevention information has been maintained since 1994. This call line links to County Environmental Health or County Waste Management to obtain household hazardous waste collection workshop dates and locations, or information on grass re-cycling and composting. The 24-hour hotline also allows callers to report clogged catch basin inlets, illegal dumping and other illicit discharge violations. Finally, the hotline allows people to order public education materials and/or request stormwater presentations for schools or community groups. The Toll Free Hotline number is widely publicized in all public education outreach materials and promotionals, listed in telephone directories, and registered in Riverside County 211, a non-profit community help line. The 1-800 line transfers callers to appropriate Permittee departments based on caller selections. Callers requesting information on Household Hazardous Waste collection activities are transferred to either County Environmental Health or County Waste Management depending on their specific selection. Callers reporting illicit discharges are directed to County Code Enforcement, who accepts the calls and then re-directs them to appropriate Permittee Code Enforcement departments. Calls for public education materials or presentations are routed to the



District's front desk, and then to the District's Public Education staff. The specific text to the hotline is included as Exhibit A. The provider of the Toll Free Hotline, Riverside County Information Technology, tracks the number of incoming calls. The number of Toll Free calls received and tracked from July 2010 through June 2011 was 889.

Outreach Tools to Change Public Behavior The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program conducts a wide range of outreach activities to residents, students, community groups, new home owners, public employees, businesses and homeowner associations informing them how their "everyday activities" may contribute to the pollution of Receiving Waters, and encouraging them to adopt alternatives that will lessen or eliminate pollution-causing behaviors. Program efforts include providing information on pollution prevention techniques and informing residents about the proper disposal of household hazardous wastes, used motor oil, pesticides, pet waste and litter. Public education materials and media emphasize the theme that all citizens have a role in reducing and preventing the pollution of Receiving Waters. The goal is to present a clear and consistent message that explains the simple connections between people's everyday activities and their impacts upon Receiving Water quality. As the public education and outreach program continues to be implemented and enhanced, the Permittees hope to broaden public awareness of Urban Runoff quality problems, promote proper disposal of household hazardous waste and motor oil, encourage illegal discharge reporting, foster good stewardship of Receiving Waters, and take personal responsibility for their actions in preventing pollution. While public education outreach at events indicates that most people are willing to act in an environmentally responsible manner if given simple ways to avoid polluting our waterbodies many are unaware of the sources of pollution from everyday urban land use. The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program, using various media forms, educates county-wide to prevent stormwater pollution through modifying the behaviors of residents, students, home gardeners, mobile businesses and the general public. Direct Outreach Methods The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program interfaces directly with the public via program staff or through contracts and partnerships at community events, home improvement stores, school education programs, adult education programs and/or by providing classroom based training. Specific outreach activities, segregated by target audiences, are described below.


Program Implementation Section 10 – Public Education and Outreach Page 10-11

General Community Outreach The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program participates in various community events to ensure that our message is delivered to the largest possible municipal audience. These community events also provide an opportunity to survey attendees and assess their public knowledge of stormwater pollution prevention. In addition, the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program has partnered with Riverside County Waste Management to ensure stormwater pollution prevention information is available at many Household Hazardous Waste and ABOP (Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil and Paint) Collection Centers and/or events held within each of Riverside County's principal watersheds (Santa Margarita, Santa Ana and Whitewater). These events provide free disposal sites for common pollutants that can impair Receiving Waters. The program's Urban Runoff materials and promotional items are also distributed through Community Clean up partnerships with Riverside County Code Enforcement Administration, whose undertaking is to achieve voluntary compliance in all phases of community revitalization. Staff works closely with the Community Improvement Specialists, ensuring that residential stormwater pollution prevention material packets are on hand for distribution on inspection visits, complaint investigations and at neighborhood or community presentations. When a complaint warranting an investigation is received, the information is entered into a database and then followed up with an NPDES staff inspection. Following the investigation, when appropriate, the inspector then canvasses the area with storm drain pollution prevention brochures, household hazardous waste collection schedules and/or door hangers. Finally, the Permittees continue to help 'Keep Riverside Clean and Beautiful' coordinate a Santa Ana Watershed Clean Up day with other interested stakeholders.

Elementary School Outreach Elementary (K-6)

As part of a comprehensive program effectiveness evaluation of the District's public education program, the District initiated a substantial re-vamp of our school education programs led by SGA with direction from the Permittee's Public Education Committee.

SGA has been hired to provide an assembly style of the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program to 3rd through 5th graders. The Malibu Foundation for Environmental Education (MFEE), a partner with SGA, educates students about point and nonpoint pollution and their effects on the environment and other creatures in the watershed. Since the contract had only become effective in the last quarter of this fiscal year, work during this reporting period was focused on working with SGA to develop updated presentation materials appropriate to Riverside County's watersheds, and as a result, fewer presentations were scheduled and given. However, presentations will be given in



following fiscal years and the presentation was reviewed, commented on and approved by the Public Education Committee. To ensure that school education outreach was maintained during the period of development and transition, District staff (Florence Mowrer) presented to five classrooms and attended additional presentations given by Zun Zun in the region. Take home materials included the Fancy Finn coloring book and I.D. Kit, with each teacher receiving a copy of the Santa Ana Watershed map, After the Storm brochure and I.D. Kit.

Lastly, through a partnership with Diamond Valley Lake Water Education Center, field trips and in–class presentations delivered a message about watershed and storm pollution concepts either through the presentation material and discussion and/or through handed out materials.

The DVD of the Curiosity Quest episode is available to educators as a tool for stormwater education.

Adult Outreach The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program contracts with SGA to provide Urban Runoff educational presentations to the targeted audiences. SGA provides this outreach through workshops at major home improvement stores throughout Riverside County. These workshops include a handout that educates the store's employees about stormwater impacts that could occur from improper application of paint, pesticides or fertilizers. Attendees at the workshop also receive "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" information and promotional items to help re-enforce the stormwater protection message. The employees are then able to share with customers the proper use and disposal of products that are potential storm drain pollutants. Point of purchase displays, tear sheets and counter displays have been installed at strategic locations to educate the public directly. Fixed advertising tools such as counter displays and tear sheets are placed in the Santa Ana Region to draw attention to BMPs. SGA's efforts included 117 stores, 4 home improvement store tablings, 258 trained employees and 13,682 materials distributed, 114 commitment letters signed and received e-mail information from 27 participants.

Another resource available is the door hanger that addresses problem discharges that are commonly observed in residential settings. The door hanger notifies the recipient that a problem discharge was observed and asks help from recipients to prevent problem discharges by following recommended pollution prevention activities. The door hanger is made available to all cities and is used by various County departments and the NPDES staff when conducting field or site activities/inspections.

Mailing Inserts The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program publicizes the dates and locations of Household Hazardous Waste Collection events through the use of mail inserts. Inserts are included in various utility bills and special notices. Media Outreach The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program continues to utilize various forms of mass media to reach the public and promote the reduction of Urban Runoff. Media forms such as, supplement newspaper inserts, fliers, and advertisements help increase public awareness of stormwater pollution and environmental protection.

• Through a partnership between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, the District in Fall 2009 sponsored a 1-hour episode of the PBS show for kids called Curiosity Quest. This episode has been recorded to a DVD and is available to the Permittees and educators via our website or DVD. The episode focused on many of the impacts that residential activities can have on stormwater including:

o Landscape Care o Pool Maintenance o Pet Waste o Automotive Care



o Household Hazardous Waste

• A colorful billboard graphic with a simple storm drain message was posted on a 12' x 36' illuminated billboard at the I-15 north of Winchester. Within the advertisement contract period, this billboard generated over 4.4 million impressions.

• A supply and hauling trailer, wrapped in brightly colored informational graphics functions as a moving billboard as it transports public education/outreach materials to special events and large venues throughout Riverside County.

• The E-Z up (portable shade) is imprinted with the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" message.

• The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" exhibitor's 10' x 10' gazebo is imprinted with "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" messages and colorful graphics depicting the importance of clean water. This display piece is an excellent aid to the public for identifying who we are and what our message is.

Cooperative Used Oil Program The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) is responsible for administering the Used Oil Block Cycle Grant on behalf of seventeen cities within WRCOG's boundaries. These cities include: Banning, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona, Eastvale, Hemet, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Perris, Riverside, San Jacinto, Temecula and Wildomar. The target audience is the Do-It-Yourselfer (DIYers). One of WRCOG's goals is to make it convenient for residents to recycle their used oil and to make it easy for them to find a Certified Center accepting used oil. In order for these centers to be certified, they need to apply for certification with the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). WRCOG contacts the non-certified centers to explain the program and hopefully interest them in becoming certified used motor oil collection centers. The goal is to see a significant decrease in the amount of illegally dumped motor oil through the addition of new Certified Centers within driving distance of the DIY'er. WRCOG also provides secure oil containers on an as needed basis to the Certified Centers for distribution among DIY'ers at no cost, to minimize the chance of spillage and a hazardous situation. Through WRCOG efforts including site visits, all certified centers in the County are in compliance to state and local mandates. During this fiscal year, 1,400 motor oil drain containers, 1,000 oil funnels and 1,500 shop rags were distributed to the DIYer and 8,090 oil filters and 183,372 gallons of motor oil were collected.



The WRCOG program also includes public education. This includes hosting a booth at large venue events, conducting surveys to see how informed the local community is regarding used oil recycling, distributing brochures in both English and Spanish with information regarding used oil drop-off locations, curbside programs and other local recycling programs. The program also maintains an English and Spanish 1-800 hotline that can be used to get answers to any recycling question a resident may have regarding, "Where is the nearest Certified Center located?" and "Where can I find a used oil container?". The phone number is printed on all distributed materials including the oil containers. As mentioned, WRCOG provides brochures in Spanish, as Riverside County has a large Spanish-speaking population that needs to be reached. By educating this group with the right information concerning used oil recycling, WRCOG hopes an increase in used oil recycling will occur throughout their Riverside County jurisdiction. Western Riverside County Clean Cities Program WRCOG created the "Cleanest County in the West" program to address issues relating to litter and illegal dumping. The program was designed to assist jurisdictions in meeting the 50% diversion goals mandated by Assembly Bill 939, a state mandate signed in 1989 that required cities to reduce their waste by 50% by the Year 2000. WRCOG also participates in large venue events to promote the use of alternative vehicle fuels. The Car Care for Clean Air program's objective is to increase public awareness regarding the benefits of proper vehicle maintenance. These events give staff an opportunity to assess how informed the local community is regarding recycling and also allows us to distribute brochures and informational flyers that will assist people in finding the nearest recycling center. Outreach tools to a Business specific audience The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program conducts a wide range of outreach activities to businesses, informing them how their "everyday activities" may contribute to the pollution of receiving waters, and encouraging them to adopt alternatives that will lessen or eliminate polluting-causing activities. Program efforts include providing information on pollution prevention techniques and informing businesses about the proper disposal of wastes. Public education materials and media emphasize the theme that all businesses have a role to play in reducing and preventing the polluting of receiving waters. The goal is to present a clear and consistent message that explains the simple connections between a business' everyday activities and their impacts upon the quality of receiving waters. Originally, the business education program mainly consisted of the development and distribution of formal BMP guidance and outreach to business associations through publications such as the Business Press. The program now includes direct outreach to businesses through business license applications and renewals within Riverside County's Business Licensing Program. Discussion of the current business specific outreach activities implemented by the Permittees is provided below.



Direct Business Outreach Activities Through the Compliance Assistance Program (CAP), a partnership with County Environmental Health, restaurants and businesses that handle hazardous wastes are inspected for potential stormwater impacts from their activities. Each business is provided with educational information specific to their typical business activities. Beginning Fiscal Year 2007-2008, the County of Riverside required all businesses in Riverside County to obtain a business license. Billing inserts were developed for the County's Transportation and Land Management Agency's Business License Division and included in all license renewal notices. New businesses receive stormwater education material that is affixed to their application. Our partnership with the County's Business License Division established last year continues to be successful by providing direct outreach to business owners about behaviors that contribute to water quality problems. Direct outreach is made in the form of an insert that is issued to new business license applicants, and inserted into annual renewal reminders. The insert includes information on the "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program and the Toll Free 1-800 number portal used for reporting illegal storm drain disposal. For fiscal year 2010-2011, 2,000 businesses countywide received Urban Runoff awareness inserts either in their initial application process or in the renewal notices. SGA has been retained to prepare and present workshops at major home improvement stores throughout Riverside County. The workshops include a handout educating store employees about stormwater impacts that could occur from improper application of paint, pesticides or fertilizers. Attendees at the workshop also receive "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" information to help reinforce the urban runoff message. Employees are then able to share with customers the proper use and disposal of products that can contaminate receiving waters. Point of purchase displays, tear sheets and counter displays have been installed at planned locations to provide a brief education to the public directly. SGA's full report has been provided in Appendix E. Brochures Commercial:

• After the Storm

• Food Facilities


• Automotive Maintenance & Car Care

• Industrial and Commercial Facilities

Industrial:



• After the Storm


• Industrial and Commercial Facilities

Construction:

• After the Storm


• General Construction & Site Supervision

Posters The District has Best Management Practices (BMP) posters for automotive, food service establishments and construction employees. The posters address activities associated with the automotive repair industry, and the food/restaurant industry that may pose a threat to water quality. Media Outreach Since an opportunity to reach business owners directly through the County's Business License Program was obtained and determined to be the most effective method, no additional media was used to target a business specific audience. The County's Business Licensing Program has over 14,000 licenses at any given time with new applicants, renewals and drops. A total of 2,000 business owners received stormwater information this fiscal year. This outreach effort attracts the attention of general types of business activities that threaten water quality and references the District and CASQA websites for BMPs that can be implemented to reduce stormwater pollution.

Outreach tools specific to Pollutants The "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" program conducts a wide range of outreach activities focusing on reduction of certain pollutants in the Receiving Waters. These outreach activities focus on sources of those pollutants whether it is residential, business, municipal or some other state or federal source. Education materials explain how "everyday activities" of potential sources may contribute to the pollution of Receiving Waters, and encourage the sources to adopt alternative approaches to pollutant management that will lessen or eliminate pollution-causing activities. Program efforts include providing information on pollution prevention techniques and informing sources about the proper disposal of pollutants. Public education materials and media emphasize the theme that all citizens/businesses have a role to play in reducing and preventing the polluting of Receiving Waters. The goal is to present a clear and consistent message that explains the simple connections between a business' everyday activities and their impacts upon Receiving Water quality.



Each subsection that follows identifies how existing outreach materials previously described address specific potential pollutant sources in the watershed. Use of pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides

A. Through a partnership between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, the District sponsored a 1-hour episode of the PBS show for kids called Curiosity Quest. The episode focused on many of the impacts that residential activities can have on stormwater including Landscape Care and the episode was recorded to DVD and is available to the Permittees and educators.

B. The Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner's Pesticide Applicator's License renewal

information package includes materials on the proper use of pesticides and offers information on training workshops. The license renewal process requires continuing education of applicants and detailed record keeping of pesticide applications. Municipal employees that are responsible for the application of pesticides are encouraged to obtain and maintain credentials as Certified Applicators and/or licensed Pest Control Advisors.

C. Available information on the use of pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides are also available

through the County's FREE Compost Workshops.

D. The Keep Our Water Clean film on the District's website covers proper use of pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides, as well as, limiting excess runoff from sprinklers or hosing by hand.

E. The 2011 Environmental Calendar included a wide array of stormwater protection information. It was designed to attract the adult audience with information on best management practices, scheduled special events, household hazardous waste collection sites, used oil collection sites and city wide clean ups. Each month has a featured water body or landscape and a discussion of an applicable pollution prevention best management practice.

F. SGA has been retained to prepare and present employee workshops at major home improvement stores throughout Riverside County. The employee is then well prepared to discuss the proper use and disposal of chemicals. The workshops include information on BMPs that the public should be aware of for pesticide and fertilizer application, use and storage. HHW tear sheets dispensers are placed at or near herbicide and pesticide locations.

G. Western Municipal Water District and Eastern Municipal Water District provide free Garden Friendly tours and provide their visitors with stormwater pollution prevention materials and promotionals. Items such as the spray bottle with non-toxic garden and household recipes are popular and have become a regular give-away essential.



Educate/inform on impacts from littering and improper waste disposal

B. Departments and agencies are also encouraged to use alternative fuel vehicles that not only

help reduce vehicle emissions but also, in some cases (e.g., electric vehicles), eliminate the use of motor oil and antifreeze. The County highly encourages its Departments to convert to these types of vehicles, whenever possible.

C. The Municipal employee training workshops cover such topics as inspecting vehicles and

equipment for fluid leakages.



Public Education Materials

Examples of various Public Education materials the Permittees distribute are included in Appendix E of this report.

PROGRAM EVALUATION

Program Implementation Section 12 – Program Evaluation Page 12-1

12. PROGRAM EVALUATION Program Evaluation The Permittees regularly assess the component programs to identify improvements that will promote the reduction of pollutants in Urban Runoff to the MEP while also supporting the responsible management and allocation of the public resources available to implement their programs. A quantitative and qualitative assessment of each Permittee's program can be found in the Permittee's individual Annual Report. Evaluation of the DAMP includes short term and long term strategies. The long-term strategy for assessing effectiveness will focus on water quality data obtained as part of the CMP, which is beginning its first full year implementation during this fiscal year based upon response to comments from the Regional Board being delayed. This is, by necessity, a long-term strategy since the first step will be to develop and understand baseline data. Due to the inherent variability of Urban Runoff, years of monitoring data are necessary to identify statistically significant trends or draw conclusions on program effectiveness. Additionally, because (i) there are numerous program elements being implemented and revised concurrently, (ii) other environmental programs and regulations indirectly impact Urban Runoff (e.g., pesticide regulation and (iii) numerous other climatological, man-made, and environmental changes occur within the watershed over time, the ability to identify specific cause-and-effect relationships between a specific program element and/or BMP and improvement in the quality of Urban Runoff is complicated, if not infeasible, in many cases. The short-term strategy for assessing program effectiveness focuses on quantitative, indirect methods (that is, not directly based on the quality of Urban Runoff or Receiving Water quality) of assessment. Each year the District will collect various metrics defined in the DAMP (as provided in the new Annual Reporting forms) to assist with program evaluation. As part of the ROWD, the Permittees will evaluate these metrics, including water quality data, in an effort to assess overall DAMP effectiveness. On an annual basis, the District will review the metrics to determine if any course corrections on existing BMPs are required. Permittees utilized the CASQA Guidance for developing these assessment measures at the following six outcome levels:

The CASQA Effectiveness Levels are:

Level 1 – Documenting activities. Level 1 Outcomes provide the program managers with direct feedback on whether the control measures are being developed and implemented as planned and on schedule. Level 1 Outcomes are assumed to be beneficial to water quality and reflect program implementation and are not indicators of the impact of implementation on the environment.

PROGRAM EVALUATION


Level 2 – Raising awareness. Level 2 Outcomes provide program managers with feedback on how effective the control measures have been in raising awareness and changing attitudes of target audiences. Level 2 Outcomes are assumed to be beneficial to the environment as increased awareness and attitudinal changes provide the basis for behavioral change. Level 3 – Changing behavior. By building on Level 2, Level 3 Outcomes provide program managers with feedback on how effective the program elements and control measures have been in motivating target audiences to change their behaviors and implement appropriate BMPs. At Level 3, control measures focus on providing information and incentives for target audiences to take action by changing behavior and implementing recommended BMPs. Both quantitative (i.e., statistically valid) and qualitative methods are used to measure behavior changes. Methods used to measure behavior changes include those used for Level 2 Outcomes as well as direct observation via site visits. Level 3 Outcomes may take the form of a percent and/or change in the percentage of the target audience demonstrating that a behavior change has occurred such as an increase in number of BMPs implemented and maintained at construction sites. Level 4 – Reducing loads from sources. Level 4 Outcomes provide program managers with feedback regarding reductions in the amounts of pollutants associated with specific sources resulting from the implementation or enhancement of a BMP. If a large enough portion of the target audience is moved to take action (Level 3), loads into the MS4 are prevented. At Level 4, programs collect data to allow estimation of loads from pollutant sources that are prevented from being either generated or discharged into the MS4. Level 5 – Improving runoff quality. Level 5 Outcomes may be measured as reductions in one or more specific pollutants, and may reflect effectiveness at a variety of scales ranging from site-specific to programmatic. Over time, as loads are prevented from entering the MS4, urban runoff and discharge quality are expected to improve. At Level 5, baseline measurements of runoff quality should be measured to allow comparison. Multi-year data sets are needed to have any confidence in the measured change. Level 6 – Protecting Receiving Water quality. At Level 6, program managers will focus on Outcomes such as compliance with Water Quality Standards, protection of biological integrity, and Beneficial Use attainment. Regardless of the Outcomes targeted, Receiving Water quality usually reflects more than the quality of MS4 discharges. Other influences may have a significant impact on Receiving Water quality, including sanitary sewer overflows, rising groundwater, agricultural and other Non-Point Source discharges. Changes in Receiving Waters and the environment resulting from stormwater programs may only be seen over long periods of time that allow the cumulative impacts of multiple control measures and program elements to result in measurable change in water quality. The programmatic effectiveness assessment document will be included as a revision in the DAMP in FY 12-13. The new Annual Reporting forms utilized in this FY Annual Report contain the quantification of certain program elements based upon the effectiveness assessment criteria included as an Appendix to the Effectiveness Assessment document which will be included in the DAMP update for FY 12-13. These are based upon the above CASQA Effectiveness Levels.

Table 12-1. Program Implementation and Evaluation





Beaumont Our review of MS4 Permit no. R8-2010-0033 indicated that the city’s Urban Runoff Management Program effectiveness would improve remarkably if storm water control ordinance was implemented. the new ordinance has been codified in the city municipal code

Calimesa The construction activity in Calimesa is so low that the city doing an evaluation of the Urban Runoff Management Program is not meaningful. The City will continue to evaluate this program as construction activity increases in the future.

Canyon Lake

The City of Canyon Lake has two major public roadways with approximately 23 public storm drains and four catch basins that are cleaned annually on Railroad Canyon and Goetz Roads by the City of Canyon Lake contractor, CR&R. Approximately 1.5 tons of debris was removed from these facilities in November 2011 to prepare for the upcoming rainy season. Within the PRIVATE gated community there is a system of 153 private storm drains and inlets that are mapped and inventoried. Inspections and clean outs occur twice annually or more often as needed. The maintenance is performed by the Property Owner Association's full time staff who attend training. Any new construction would be entirely single family residential and monitored by City Building Inspectors, Code Enforcement and Special Enforcement Officers that are trained annually. In regard to the City of Canyon Lake future land use, the City of Canyon Lake is primarily built out, thus future land use is limited and will not change dramatically. City staff has reviewed the program of compliance with provisions of the NPDES Municipal Storm water permit. In October 2011, the City of Canyon Lake adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 138U (Attachment 1) which provided for the addition to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code Chapter 15, (Attachment 2) and Chapter 15.02, establishing provisions regarding the disposal of pet waste. This new ordinance allows staff to monitor and cite improper pet waste disposal within the City limits.


Eastvale The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and therefore will not include requested information in this FY Annual Report. Per Permit provision IV.B, the Co-Permittees have 12 months (May 24, 2013) to complete the LIP and thus will provide applicable requested information within the subsequent FY 2012-2013 Annual Report.

Hemet The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012. The City of Hemet LIP will be completed by May 24, 2013 and the need for revisions will be addressed in the 2012-2013 Annual Report.




Lake Elsinore

Note: The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board Staff until May 24, 2012 and Per Permit provision IV.B, Co-Permittees have 12 months (5/24/13) to complete the LIP, therefore our response to this item does not include a review of our NPDES program against the LIP. The City of Lake Elsinore’s (City’s) Urban Runoff Management Program (URMP) goal is compliance with the current fourth term Permit regulations. The City’s objective is to control the discharge of Pollutants into the MS4 that may cause or contribute to, or threaten to cause or contribute to, a condition of pollution in receiving waters to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). The City’s program continues to evolve as Permit compliance strategies, tools and tasks are developed, approved by the Regional Board and implemented at the local level. During the FY annual reporting period, as Co-Permittee, in addition to the Technical Advisory Committee meetings and activities, we actively participated through funding, review, comment and meetings on the preparation and submittal of the following Regional documents and committees: • Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) Revisions • Local Implementation Plan (LIP) • Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP) • Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Guidelines and Template • Public Education and Outreach Subcommittee • Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake TMDL Task Force • Regional GeoDataBase

On the local level, funding restrictions and personnel constraints continue to be a significant factor in achieving permit compliance. During the FY annual reporting period we were able to secure program support from the following Divisions: • Human Resources - support for staff training notification and tracking. • Planning – support at initial project submittal to secure submittal of preliminary WQMP. • Building - support in review of tenant improvement plans for NPDES BMP compliance and permit compliance and notification of

certificate of occupancy requests for NPDES Inspection purposes. • Business License - support for tracking businesses for compliance with NPDES permit requirements and providing access to

Business License database for reporting purposes. • Public Works - support to update/replace existing catch basin markers, support for tracking of storm drain cleanout, and GIS layer

for catch basins throughout the City. • Information Systems – support of public outreach by running EPA’s clean water videos to the City’s Public Access Channel.

The spirit of cooperation throughout the various Divisions of the City is representative of the City’s commitment to the NPDES Program. The City’s NPDES Program Staff has implemented procedures and undertakes activity to ensure Permit compliance by: • Maintaining adequate legal authority to control the contribution of Pollutants.

- City Ordinance updated in December 2011 • Conducting inspections of and maintaining its MS4 facilities.

- Routine inspections conducted by PW Maintenance Staff annually; additional inspections and clean out of MS4 facilities conducted after rain events.



Lake Elsinore (continued)

• Seeking funding opportunities and/or interagency efforts to facilitate the NPDES program. - Presented request to Council for increase in primary funding source assessment, CSA 152 - Coordinating with Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District to complete mapping of City Storm Drain System at shared

cost. • Notifying applicants for permits of their obligations with regard to Stormwater Ordinances, WQMP and state and federal permit

requirements. - NPDES Coordinator reviews all applications for new development, significant redevelopment, special events,

conditional and temporary use permits, tenant improvements and certificates of occupancy to ensure activities in the City are implementing BMP’s to the MEP and in compliance with Permit and Ordinance requirements

- Coordinated with Building, Planning and Finance Divisions to amend applications to ensure applicants are made aware of NPDES requirements at the earliest possible opportunity.

• Updating our MS4 facility maps. - Through the Public Works Div. pavement management program and coordinated efforts with Elsinore Valley Water

District, GIS database is being updated. • Cooperating fully and in a timely manner in Principal Permittee initiated activities. • Responding to or arranging for the appropriate entity or agency to respond to IC/ID, accidental spills or leaks.

- City Staff follow spill/IC/ID procedures as called for in the DAMP. • Applying enforcement activity in a manner and to the level necessary to gain compliance.

- City Staff, following the procedures outlined in the DAMP have been successful in gaining voluntary compliance. Generally, Staff has found that meeting with the responsible party and educating them as to the pollution potential is successful in gaining compliance. In rare instances, the initial contact does not gain compliance, following up with a written notice identifying the potential for a citation/fine achieves compliance.

• Database tracking and inspection of active businesses and construction sites in the City. - City Staff presently use excel spreadsheets to track Inspections, BMP’s, IC/ID, spills, etc. Staff has purchased a

comprehensive software package designed specifically to track ALL Permit compliance activities. • Staff actively seeks and participates in public education / outreach opportunities. Some of the activities this year included:

- Participation in the pubic education outreach committee, - Manning NPDES booth at public events, - Adding EPA clean water programming to the City’s Public Access Channel. - Placing door hangers and flyers about storm water pollution prevention throughout neighborhoods where potential

pollutants have been noted. • Through coordination with the City’s Human Resources Division, All City staff is afforded the opportunity to attend annual

training. It is felt that the cooperative efforts put forth by City Staff at the local and regional level are at their limits given funding and staffing constraints. Should additional funding and/or staffing become available, additional effort would be spent on inspection and maintenance activities.



Menifee

The City of Menifee is currently in the process of updating the Local Implementation Plan per the template prepared by Riverside County Flood Control. The City will submit the LIP with all necessary revisions by the required date of May 24, 2013, per the MS4 Permit based on the conditional approval date received by the Santa Ana Regional Board on May 24, 2012. The LIP will address TMDLs based on the approved Consolidated Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP) report.


Norco

• The City’s Stormwater Program is always open for review, comment and improvement. • City Ordinances that are intended to promote water quality are taken very seriously by all staff and their enforcement is always a

priority. • Construction site inspections are done at a much higher frequency than what is specified in Provisions IX.A.3.e. • All field inspection staff are cross trained be aware of storm runoff issues while conducting their field or building inspections and to

take appropriate action to get rapid resolution. Perris See Permittee Individual Report

Riverside The LIP Template was not approved by Regional Board staff until May 24, 2012 and, consequently, the City’s LIP is still being developed. Information gathered throughout the year and evaluations of the Urban Runoff Management Programs are being used in the development of the LIP. The subsequent FY 2012-2013 Annual Report will provide further information on the LIP.

PROGRAM EVALUATION


Effectiveness Assessment and Reporting The Permittees have incorporated the Revised DAMP program effectiveness assessment requirements described in Section 12 of the DAMP into their compliance activities. The Permittees' Effectiveness Assessment for the fiscal year 2010-2011 focused on ensuring that the Permittees had adequate control on nutrient and pathogen sources in the Santa Ana Watershed. Section XVII.A of the 2010 MS4 Permit required the Permittees to evaluate the effectiveness of the Urban Runoff management program described in the DAMP to determine the need for any revisions in order to reduce pollutants in MS4 discharges consistent with the MEP standard consistent with the reporting requirements in Appendix 3, Section IV.B of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The Permittees were required to develop a proposal for assessment of the Urban Runoff management program effectiveness on an area wide as well as jurisdiction-specific basis. Permittees utilized the CASQA Guidance for developing these assessment measures at the six outcome levels. The assessment measures targeted both water quality outcomes and the results of municipal enforcement activities consistent with the requirements of Appendix 3, Section IV.B. The new metrics have been reported in this 2011-2012 Annual Report. In addition, the Permit required the Permittees to develop a draft work plan that describes the proposed implementation of the LIPs and DAMP for the next Fiscal Year. Because each individual Permittee LIP was not yet required to be in place during FY 2011-2012, preparing a work plan for inclusion in this Annual Report would not be prudent. However, a draft work plan will be prepared and included in FY 2012-2013 Annual Report along with the completed LIPs.

Calimesa

The City adopted a C&D Ordinance otherwise known as “ Recycling and Diversion of Construction and Demolition Waste”, as a way to enforce as aspects of illegal dumping on construction projects, sites and city right-of-ways, which ultimately impact our water ways. We work closely with CR&R our franchise waste hauler, who provides roll off containers to the City Public Works Department so that we may recycle any illegal dumping that may occur within the public right-of-ways.

Canyon Lake The City of Canyon Lake’s Residential program is proactive in both its educational and monitoring efforts. City staff, as well as trained Code and Special Enforcement Officers educate residents on the proper ways to wash vehicles with runoff flowing into vegetation and the application of lawn fertilizers. The City also performs proactive visual inspections and water quality testing at discharge sites.

Corona

1. In addition to the County’s public outreach program, City of Corona’s Residential program consists of providing education materials on the BMPs for the activities that are most likely to occur by residences of our City.

A. The County has developed BMP brochures targeting specific residential activities. The City distributes these brochures at various City events and gatherings, at City Hall, at the City Library, and as needed when following up on complaints at residences.

B. The City’s NPDES website provides BMP information for various residential activities and provides links for further resources, including a link to the County’s website where various BMP brochures can be downloaded.

C. The City distributes BMP information on swimming pool discharge procedures to all water utility costumers annually in the water bill.

D. From time to time, the City utilizes the City’s Corona Connection magazine to publish articles with an NPDES message. This magazine is distributed to all Corona residences.

E. Twice per year, the City distributes information on the dates and location of the two household hazardous waste events the City sponsors at our Corporation Yard.

F. The City’s NPDES message is also reiterated through Corona’s aggressive “Stop the Drop” campaign in which residents are educated to reduce water use and thereby eliminate over-irrigation and any excess runoff leaving their property.



Eastvale City of Eastvale contracted with the Riverside County, see Riverside County Annual Report.

Hemet

The City of Hemet distributes "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" Public Education Program Fact Sheets/Brochures/BMPs and other appropriate information to the residents at events and from City offices in an effort to educate citizens about reducing the discharge of pollutants from activities in residential areas. The City of Hemet participates in regional activities to facilitate the proper collection and management of used oil, toxic and hazardous materials, and other household wastes. This includes assisting in the distribution of information regarding the dates and locations of temporary and permanent HHW and ABOP collection events and facilities and curbside or special collection sites managed by the City’s solid waste hauler CC&R. The City of Hemet provides information about these activities on our website. In addition, if during an inspection in response to a complaint, a City of Hemet Code Enforcement inspector observes that a residence is non-compliant with the City’s Stormwater Ordinance, enforcement procedures are undertaken, as appropriate, which usually includes distribution of educational materials on reducing the discharge of pollutants.


Lake Elsinore

The City has in place: 1) Mandatory requirement for trash service either through CR&R or proof of self service by providing a copy of a landfill bill of lading. 2) Twice monthly street sweeping w/ no parking on street during the scheduled street sweeping. 3) Household Hazardous Waste collection site located at the City Yard. The program provides County residents the opportunity to drop off HHW items on the first Saturday of each month (excluding Dec. & Jan.). 4) The City holds a twice yearly clean up event that at the Storm Stadium providing City residents an additional opportunity to dispose of larger items 5) Through C.R&R’s standard residential service, residents are provided a twice yearly opportunity to call for bulk item pick-up at the curb. 6) Through grant funding, the City provides residents the opportunity to drop off used tires. 7) City staff responds to residential complaints of potential pollutants within 24 hours. During the complaint investigation, the occupant is provided educational materials about the pollution potential and given direction on cleanup. If not personally available, information is left at the home and a follow-up letter is sent. The neighborhood of the complaint is then canvassed with door hangers and brochures. 8) EPA Cleanwater videos are broadcast on the City’s public access channel. 9) SGA conducts educational presentations at Elsinore Valley Unified School District schools.

The City has several municipal code sections that address discharges of pollutants. Sections are as follows: 6.22 Public Nuisance Abatement: Property and buildings maintained in condition as not be detrimental to public health. 6.42 Municipal Refuse Collection Service: Residents required to participate in refuse removed from their property with Franchise hauler. 6.45 Manure Management and Disposal: Residents required to haul manure off their property on a regular basis. 6.48 Public Dump Sites: Makes it illegal to dump refuse within City boundary. 6.60 Control of Flies: Illegal to accumulate material that will attract flies. 6.76 Hog Ranches: Regulates how hog ranches are operated. 6.84 Commercial Poultry Ranches: Regulates how poultry ranches are operated. 9.40 Refuse Abatement: Outlines the City procedure on cleaning up private property and placing leins on the property for collection of costs.


Riverside

The City of Riverside has a multifaceted Residential program designed to educate and help residents maintain water quality. Several programs contribute to the program’s effectiveness including waste disposal events, pet waste control efforts, and public education.

As mentioned in sections outlining the City’s efforts to control trash and litter, the City hosts several events throughout the year which allow residents to bring trash, debris, bulky items, etc. to a specified location for proper disposal. These events encourage residents to properly dispose of all types of waste and reinforce environmentally-friendly concepts including storm water quality.

The City is also actively seeking ways to educate residents and visitors about animal waste and bacteria control. While the City does not have significant areas with horses and other large animals as do some surrounding communities, it does have people walking and playing with dogs and other pets. In Fiscal Year 2011-2012 the City purchased several pet waste bag dispensers and has since installed them in popular walking areas most notably along Victoria Ave. The dispensers act as a reminder of the importance of controlling animal waste and provide the public with a means to do their part.

In addition to that written above and the various programs identified in this report, the City of Riverside maintains a high quality public education program through which residents are educated on wastewater and storm water principles. Public information materials were distributed to approximately 4,700 residents. Specific activities are detailed in the following sections of this report.

Riverside County

See Ordinance 859 and Integrated Pest Management educational information. This is also managed through local water and sewer districts by adoption of tiered rates for water consumption. Another mechanism is though the franchise solid waste management collection programs countywide. The County also provides new home owners with a welcome packet that contains information on the stormwater program, and through PSAs on local cable networks.

San Jacinto

Current program include storm drain placards/labeling “Only Rain in the Drain”. Labeling project/program is ongoing. Specific outreach programs and information is available via local water distribution agency Eastern Municipal Water District for city residents and water customers. City staff performs visual inspections and contact of both residential and commercial facilities to address excessive run-off or discharge from properties.

Canyon Lake The City’s Code Enforcement Officer, evaluates all NPDES violations with Special Enforcement Officers to ensure that the proper procedure is followed.

Corona

This fiscal year, the NPDES section responded to twice as many calls from residents wishing for our staff to inspect their pools for proper drainage procedures as the previous year. This increase is likely due to our focused outreach on proper drainage procedures provided through utility bills, City website, and an article published in the Corona Connection in late spring 2011. Once the message is received by the residents and their pool contractors, it is easily spread throughout the community. Our goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate the number of calls we respond to regarding illegal pool drainage.

An increased number of complaints from residents may be attributed to the residential outreach program. Once residents are aware of what is prohibited by the NPDES program, they are more likely to call and report their neighbors whom they observe may be in violation. This fiscal year, 41 out of 79 illegal discharge incidences or complaints (or roughly 50%) were reported by residents. By tracking this statistic on an annual basis, we may see a trend which could signal the effectiveness of the program.

Another evaluation tool of the Residential program may be tracking participation in events such as the HHW event, and other events focused on environmental sustainability. An increasing number of participants would signal the effectiveness of the outreach. The City will begin tracking the number of participants at the HHW events held in City of Corona to see if there is a positive trend.

Eastvale City of Eastvale contracted with the Riverside County, see Riverside County Annual Report.

Hemet

A review of the current Residential Program indicates that the main objective of the program, to provide educational information to City residents to reduce the discharge of pollutants from residential activities, is being achieved. The City does this by offering brochures and promotional items at city events and at various city offices. The City also provides educational information on the Integrated Waste Management page of our website [www.cityofhemet.org/

The City of Hemet contracts with CR&R Inc. for trash, recycling, and green waste services for residences within the city limits. [http://www.crrwasteservices.com/cities/Hemet/residents/] The CR&R website offers information about the nearest Riverside County Collection Center, as well as information and rates on a new Residential HHW Curbside Collection Program.




Lake Elsinore

See attached Exhibit “I” As outlined above, the City’s residential program provides significant opportunities for the disposal of waste and education of the City’s residents. No additional activities were planned at this time. Review of the program is ongoing and future distribution of materials at City events is under consideration.

Riverside

The City is continually searching for ways to educate residents and the public. As mentioned, this fiscal year the City purchased several pet waste bag dispensers to improve and reinforce the importance of bacteria and pathogen control. This was the result of evaluating how to best control animal wastes. With respect to clean up/drop off events, the City saw a slight decrease in the total number of participants but a minor increase in total tonnage collected. Through continued education and proactive residential education and initiatives, the City expects continued success in its Residential Program.
