INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS

5. Verbal Update from PE/PO Coordinator Sidenstecker provided a brief update of recent PE/PO activities. Highlights included:

MRSWMP participated in the West End Festival by hosting a booth to communicate our water quality and pollution prevention message.

Our partnership with Hope Services to meet local stenciling requirements has begun. We are beginning to get student volunteers via CSUMB for service learning projects. The Sustainable Living Tours will be occurring in Seaside on Sept. 13 and Pacific Grove

on Sept. 27. MRSWMP will participate in the Monterey Beach SportsFest on Oct. 2-3. MRSWMP is

partnering with Surfrider to host a Beach Clean-Up on Del Monte Beach. MRSWMP is working with the Monterey Regional Waste Management District, Save the Whales, and Green Waste to partner on school assembly programs to meet our permit requirements. In Year 2, 1,602 students/teacher in grades K-12 were reached through hands-on school programs, assemblies, and a teacher workshop.

6. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Program a. Construction BMP Training & Annual Building Inspectors Meeting

Condit updated members on efforts to host a Construction BMP Training tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 8. We received feedback from local Building Officials that they felt it would be fine to combine the training with the Annual Building Inspectors Meeting. The City of Carmel has offered to host the meeting at Carpenters Hall at the Sunset Center. Condit is in discussions with potential facilitators. Ottmar offered that we may be able to reach contractors/sub-contractors via cities SIC codes

b. Construction Site BMP Hand-Out The Construction BMP Plan Sheet has been upgraded to include a Spanish translation. They are to be distributed through members’ Building Departments. Condit will forward a copy to members. Sidenstecker offered to create a laminated example for each Building Department.

7. Update on Trash Amendment

During a recent meeting, Dominic Roques mentioned that the Trash Amendment will be incorporated into our individual Stormwater Permit following the current permit cycle.

8. Update on SB985 and Stormwater Resource Plan Requirements Condit informed members that the SB985 Stormwater Resource Plan Guidelines will be released shortly by the State Water Board. Stormwater Resource Plans are required to be in place if jurisdictions wish to pursue state funding for stormwater projects. Members asked Condit to reach out to Larry Hampson, facilitator for the Monterey Peninsula IRWMP (Action Item).

9. Update on the PEAIP Template


of 21


a. Prioritized BMPs Harty reviewed the draft Prioritized BMPs template. Ottmar asked whether we can change the Measurable Goals of E.10 to: “Inspect 100% of high priority sites and address any deficiencies.” Harty recommended we revisit the Measurable Goals of each of the items during our September MRSWMP meeting. He will circle back with Ottmar to finalize prior to the meeting.

b. Regional Monitoring Data Analysis

Hoover and her team are finalizing the Regional Monitoring Data Analysis Report. Members are hoping to gain assistance from the Sanctuary to incorporate the results of the analysis into Section 2.4 of the PEAIP. The Sanctuary is available to meet with individual members to discuss the results and tease out a summary for each permittee that can be incorporated. Another benefit of the meetings would be to explore whether specific BMPs will be effective at improving specific water quality issues. Emanuelson will coordinate with members to set up the meetings (Action Item – Emanuelson). Harty offered that an area for future discussion includes possibilities for regional monitoring that will assist members with calibrating the TELR Model. Emanuelson noted that the Sanctuary will be presenting highlights of the Monitoring Program during the CASQA Conference in October.

10. Discussion of Year 2 Annual Report a. Annual Report Template

Harty walked Members through the SMARTS Annual Report questions that are due to be submitted by October 15. Schmidt (AMBAG) is available to assist some members to meet mapping requirements for Questions 15-20, 21-23, 46-47.

Condit will re-send the Legal Authority Certification Statement to assist with Question 4 (Action Item - Condit). Members requested that Condit check in with the State Water Board to inquire whether it is necessary to complete Year 1 questions via the SMARTS database again in Year 2 (Action Item - Condit). Members asked Condit to forward the documentation of meetings regarding the Construction Program (Action Item – Condit). Members requested that Condit place the supporting documentation on the FTP site, labeling folders per Permit Requirement (Action Item – Condit).

b. PCR Reporting Template

Dominic Roques confirmed that the PCR Reporting Template that was utilized in the Year 1 Annual Report should be used for the Year 2 Annual Report.

NOTICE IS ADDITIONALLY HEREBY GIVEN that the State Water Board will hold a public Board Workshop to hear public comments on the Draft Plan Guidelines and Draft Funding Guidelines. Details of the State Water Board workshop are provided below.

Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Tuesday, October 6, 2015 – 9:00 a.m.

Joe Serna Jr. - CalEPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room

1001 I Street, Second Floor Sacramento, CA 95814

NOTICE IS ADDITIONALLY HEREBY GIVEN that the State Water Board will hold a public Board Meeting to consider adoption of the Draft Plan Guidelines. Details of the State Water Board Meeting are provided below.

Tuesday, December 1, 2015 – 9:00 a.m.

Joe Serna Jr. - CalEPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room

1001 I Street, Second Floor Sacramento, CA 95814

The State Water Board meeting for consideration of adoption of the Draft Funding Guidelines will be noticed under a separate public notice. BACKGROUND Draft Storm Water Resource Plan Guidelines The purpose of the Draft Plan Guidelines is to establish guidance for the development of Storm Water Resource Plans in accordance with Water Code section 10565. Water Code section 10563(c)(1) requires a public agency to develop a Storm Water Resource Plan (Plan) as a condition of receiving funds from any bond approved by voters after January 2014. Prop. 1 is a water bond measure that, among other funds, authorized $200 million in grants for multi-benefit storm water management projects. Existing planning documents (i.e. watershed management plans, integrated regional water management plans, urban water management plans, or similar plans) that include storm water and dry weather runoff capture and use as a component of its goals and objectives may be utilized as functionally equivalent plans; if a planning document does not meet the standards of Water Code section 10560 et seq., a collection of local and regional plans may constitute a functional equivalent if the plans collectively meet the requirements of the Water Code section 10562(c). The proposed Draft Plan Guidelines will serve as guidance for entities preparing a Storm Water Resource Plan, and assist the State Water Board and other bond fund-dispensing agencies in administering funds for storm water management projects. As proposed, the Draft Plan Guidelines do not serve as a commitment to any specific project. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378(b)(4).) Draft Proposition 1 Storm Water Grant Program Funding Guidelines The purpose of the Funding Guidelines is to establish the process and criteria that the State Water Board will use to solicit applications, evaluate and select proposals, and award grants for multi-benefit storm water management projects funded by the Proposition 1 Storm Water Grant Program Funding program. Water Code section 79747 (Proposition 1, Chapter 7) provides

$200 million in grant funds for multi-benefit storm water management projects to assist in adapting water infrastructure systems to climate change and to provide incentives for water agencies throughout each watershed to collaborate in managing the region’s water resources. After bond and program administration costs, approximately $186 million will be available for projects. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY The Draft Plan Guidelines, Draft Funding Guidelines, and all related documents are available for review online at: http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/grants_loans/swgp/prop1/.

LANDSCAPING FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT – PART 1: SELF RETAINING AREAS

Introduction

Directing stormwater runoff to landscaping can be a cost-effective and low maintenance approach to

reduce the volume of stormwater that is mitigated using structural stormwater control measures. The

Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board Post-Construction Requirements (PCRs) allow for

and encourage the use of landscaping for stormwater management, however the PCRs do not provide

guidance on how to quantify benefit of landscape based stormwater measures. This memo is Part 1 of a

2 part series that provides background information and design guidance on the use of landscaped areas

for compliance with the PCRs.

Landscape Dispersion and Self-retaining Areas

Landscape dispersion refers to the practice of routing stormwater runoff from impervious areas, such as

rooftops, walkways, and patios, onto the surface of adjacent landscaped areas. This memo uses the

term “landscape dispersion area” to describe a landscaped area designed to accept runoff from a

separate contributing area. A landscape dispersion area can be used as a stand-alone measure or as

part of a treatment train.

According to the PCRs, a self-retaining area is defined as an area that retains a design storm without

producing stormwater runoff. For the Central Coast region, this means that the self-retaining area will

fully contain either the 85th or 95th percentile runoff from the contributing area. In contrast, a landscape

dispersion area may retain only a portion of the runoff from the design storm, with discharge treated

and/or retained in a downstream measure. A landscape based self-retaining area is a landscape

dispersion area, but not all landscape dispersion areas are self-retaining.

2:1 Ratio for Self-Retaining Areas

Stormwater manuals throughout California commonly include design guidance for self-retaining areas

based on the use of a 2:1 ratio, where a maximum of 2 parts impervious surface drains to 1 part

landscaped area, in order for a landscape dispersion area to be considered self-retaining. The 2:1 ratio

has been used in California to meet various criteria, such as capture of a 1-inch storm and capture of

80% of annual runoff volume. The 2:1 ratio was shown to meet the 95th percentile retention

requirements of the PCRs, as part of the development of the Santa Barbara County Stormwater

Technical Guide. The following parameters were used for the Santa Barbara analysis:

• 2:1 ratio of contributing impervious surface to landscape area

• Rainfall depth of 2.4 inches (95th percentile, 24-hour storm event)

• Minimal soil infiltration rate of 0.25 inches per hour

• Ponding depth of 3-inches within the landscape dispersion area

Based on the work completed for Santa Barbara County, for a design storm depth of 2.4 inches or less,

any landscape dispersion area that meets the criteria above could be considered a self-retaining area.

The technical memo prepared for Santa Barbara County is attached.

DRAFT September 2015 Page 2 of 2

Additional design elements for a self-retaining area include:

• Ensure the self-retaining area will capture the runoff volume (no discharge for the design storm)

• Consider suitability for infiltration(see below)

• Include appropriate plant palettes that can tolerate periodic ponding

• Side slopes and flow paths should be protected from erosion

Other methods may be used to appropriately size or quantify the benefit of a landscape dispersion area,

and examples of alternate methods will be described in Part 2 of this series.

Considerations for Infiltration

Similar to design of other retention based stormwater control measures, it is important to consider the

suitability of the site for infiltration, and anticipated pollutants in the stormwater. Site conditions to

consider include depth to groundwater, proximity to buildings or other infrastructure, depth to

impermeable soil layers or bedrock, and soil types. Sandy soils with very low organic content may not

be suitable for direct infiltration, and may require the addition of compost or mulch to support the

proposed landscaping and increase pollutant removal. If stormwater runoff is anticipated to contain a

high level of soluble pollutants, or sediments and debris, it may be beneficial to include an upstream

treatment device prior to discharge to the landscape area. Sediments can accumulate in the landscape

area over time and decrease potential infiltration. Some pollutants may not be compatible with the

proposed landscaping. Also, consider duration of ponding for vector control, typically a maximum of 48

to 72 hours.

Another consideration in the viability of landscaping for stormwater management is the protection of

surface soils. Landscaped areas will typically achieve higher infiltration rates if the soils are not

compacted. If the site will undergo significant cut or fill as part of grading it may be beneficial to

stockpile the native topsoil and use this material within the landscape dispersion area.

Project Title: Santa Barbara SCM Sizing Support

Project No.: 10003.003

Self-Retaining Area Performance

Subject: Self‐Retaining Area Sizing Analysis

Date: February 10, 2014

To: Dan Cloak

From: Tony Dubin

This technical memorandum describes the modeling analysis used to confirm the self‐retaining area sizing cri‐terion included in Santa Barbara’s Post‐Construction Requirements (PCRs) and the SCM Sizing Calculator. Self‐retaining areas must provide 3 inches of surface storage and the ratio of the tributary impervious area to self‐retaining area cannot be more than 2 to 1.

A Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph (SBUH) model was setup to compute runoff rates from the tributary imper‐vious area and water levels within the self‐retaining area. Table 1 lists the key elements of the model setup.

Table 1. Self-Retaining Area SBUH Model Setup

SBUH Model Characteristic Value

Tributary impervious area 2 acres

Self-retaining area 1 acre (2:1 impervious to self-retaining area ratio)

Self-retaining area maximum storage depth 3 inches

Rainfall depth 2.4 inches (95th percentile, 24-hour storm)

SCS storm type SCS Type I

Self-retaining area infiltration rate 0.25 inches per hour

The SBUH tracked the following input and output values for each 10‐minute model time step:

Stormwater inflow from the tributary impervious area

Direct rainfall onto the self‐retaining area

Cumulative stormwater inflow + direct rainfall (i.e., the total input water volume)

Infiltration from the self‐retaining area to surrounding soils

Water level within the self‐retaining area

Self‐Retaining Area Sizing Analysis

Tech Memo ‐‐ Self‐Retaining Area Performance.docx 2

Figure 1 shows the cumulative rainfall, cumulative water input (runoff + rain) and the self‐retaining area water level as calculated by the SBUH model. The cumulative water input is expressed in units of inches by dividing the total water volume by the self‐retaining area. Water reaches of maximum depth of 2.53 inches within the self‐retaining area, which is within the allowable limit of 3 inches. Therefore, the self‐retaining area ratio of 2:1 is sufficient to control the 95th percentile, 24‐hour storm event.
