• 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The federal Storm Water Phase II Final Rule requires operators of,sinall municipal separate
storm sewer systems (MS4s) to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit by March 2003. The Phase II Rule is the follow -,up to the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I NPDES Program, promulgated in 1990 as part of the Clean
Water Act. Phase I required municipalities over 100,000 to implement programs and practices to
reduce. pollutants in storm water runoff, The Phase II Rule expands Phase I by requiring cities
between 10,000 and 100,000 to do the same. A NPDES permit is required because storm water
discharges from selected cities and other institutions are considered sources of pollution.
Under recommendation of the EPA, the State Water Resources Control Board also included
MS4s that met- the following criteria:
• Discharge to sensitive waters;
• Urbanized area with populations >1000/mil;
• High growth or growth.potential >25% in a ten year period;
• Significant contributor of pollutants to water of the State; and
• Ineffective water quality protection by other programs.
The City of Petaluma meets the first three criteria. The City is located within the Petaluma River
watershed, which supports beneficial'uses for cold and warm freshwater habitat, fish migration,
• preservation of rare and endangered species, fish spawning, wildlife habit, and contact and non -
contact water recreation. In addition, groundwater is a source -of drinking and irrigation water in
the city and rural areas of the county.
The San Francisco.Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) is the
regulatory agency having NPDES permit oversight authority. Representatives from Winzler &
Kelly have had several conversations with Ms. Selina Louie, Petaluma's Regional Board storm
water contact, to discuss the development of the plan, the Regional Board's goals, and their
expectations.
Impacts from urban, construction, hillside development, and agricultural runoff have resulted in
the listing of the Petaluma River on the 2002 Clean Water Acfs Section 303(d) list for nutrients,
pathogens, sediment, diazinon, and nickel (nickel is listed for the tidal portion of the River).
Nutrients, pathogens, and sediment are listed as "medium priority" pollutants, while diazinon
and nickel are listed as "low priority" pollutants.
During the initial permitterm,, the City's SWMP will focus efforts and resources on BMPs that
address the reduction of nutrients, pathogens, and sediment in the.City's storm water due to the
fact that these pollutants are given,a higher priority by the Regional Board. Future storm water
permits will address, the lower priority pollutants, diazinon and nickel, if such constituents
continue to cause impairment to the River.
The Final State General' Storm Water Permit (General Permit) is expected to be adopted by the
• end of the second quarter of 2003. In order to be in compliance with the permit, Petaluma must
02-205502-020 1 Revised: February 19, 2003
submit a Notice of Intent form, a Storm Water Management Plan (Plan), and an annual permit
fee of $7,500. The Plan acts as the City's permit, describing actions that include best
management practices (BMPs), measurable goals, and timetables for what.are defined.as
Minimum -Control Measures (MCMs). The City has already put into practice many of the
measures required by -the .General Permit-, but will need to formalize and.document what has been
done for reporting purposes. Other program requirements will be implemented over a five-year
period, which is the,length of the first,permit.term. During the five-year permit term, Petaluma
must submit annual reports to the Regional Board that document and convey progress in
implementing the six MCMs. The six MCMs required by the permit are:
• Public Education,and Outreach
• Public Participation/.Involvement
• Illicit Discharge,Detection and Elimination
• Construction. Site Storm Water Runoff Control
• Post -Construction Storm Water Management
• Pollution Prevention for Municipal Operations
The positive aspect'is that Petaluma.has already implemented actions that address some of the
EPA's Menu, of BMPs for each of the six MCMs. These include pollution prevention,
committing construction projects to implement erosion control practices during grading
activities, street sweeping,. and other activities. There are several agencies and non-profit groups
that _Petaluma willwant to, establish partnerships with agencies such as the! Sonoma County
Water Agency, -Sonoma Waste Management Agency, Empire Waste Management and the
Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District. The purpose of these partnerships will
be to share in the implementation of other elements -of the Plan, such as public education,
outreach, involvement, and participation.
The negative aspect is that the Phase II NPDES program is mandatory, yet unfunded. ,Budgeting
for coordination of the many plans; that have been written for Petaluma, additional street
sweeping and storm drain maintenance, and the preparation of the Storm Water Management
Plan have already taken place. Petaluma's costs for materials and the annual permit fee are,
estimated at, $30,000'for the first year of implementation, and between $29,060 and $33,000 for
the remainder of the permit term. In.addition to these. costs, personnel estimates to implement.
and -manage the program are estimated at a minimum ofthree people (approx-. 3.0 FTEs). To
address this issue, Petaluma has budgeted to add three new personnel to address BMPs
associated with the SWMP. In.subsequeiit years of the permit term, a Storm Water Planning
Specialist (or similar) position.may be added to assist the Program Leader with all of the
administrative;duties associated with the management of this program. According to
SFBRWQC-B staff, failure to implement the program and.the minimum required BMPs.could
result in third -party lawsuits, notices of violation, additional regulatory requirements, and
possible fines of up to $27,5.00 per day.
The Department of Water Resources and Conservation is taking the lead in the implementation
of the SWMP, and the Program Leader will be the Engineering Manager .from this department,
Mr. Dean Eckerson. The Program Leader and Water Resources and Conservation_Department

will be working closely with the Community Development Department, the Public Facilities &
Services Department, and other city departments and agencies.
New language and elements will be incorporated into existing documents such as the city's
General Plan, CEQA checklist, and building and public works inspection procedures. A storm
drain ordinance must be adopted and enforced that prohibits non -storm water discharges to the
City's storm drain system. In addition, the existing erosion control and grading ordinance must
be updated for construction activities disturbing more.than one acre. Ordinance language will
allow City staff to implement those changes necessary to reduce pollutants to the City's storm
drains and subsequently to Petaluma.River, and will support the implementation of this
comprehensive program.
The City will also develop a Standard Urban Storm Water Management Program (SUSMP) by
the end of the five-year permit term. The City is subject to this requirement due to its expected
growth potential of greater than 25% over the next 10 years. SUSMPs are defined as the portions
of municipal storm water management programs that address storm water pollution arising from
private sector new development and redevelopment. Permittees and/or developers must adopt the
requirements set forth in the SUSMPs, and must incorporate appropriate SUSMP requirements
into their project plans.
The General Permit requires that all NOIs, Plans, certifications, reports, and other information
prepared be signed by either the principal executive officer, tanking elected official, or duly
authorized representative. For the City,. the authorized representative is the City Manager, Mr.
• Michael Bierman.

• 2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 Reg.ulatory'Background.�
The federal Storm Water Phase' Il Final Rule requires 'operators of small municipal separate
storm sewer systems (MS4s)'to obtain a. National.Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit by March 20.03.' The Phase II Rule is)the follow-up to the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase .'I''NPDES Program, promulgated in 1990 as part of the Clean
Water Act. Phase I required municipalities over 100,000 to implement programs and practices to
reduce pollutants in storm water runoff.. The Phase II Rule"expands Phase I by requiring cities
between 10,000 and 1:00,000 to do the same. A NPDES permit is required because storm water
discharges from selected cities and other institutions are considered sources of pollution.
Under recommendation of the EPA, the State Water Resources Control Board also included
MS4s that met the following criteria:
• Discharge to sensitive waters;
• Urbanized area with populations >1000/m12;
High growth or growth potential >25% in a ten year period;
• Significant contributor of pollutants to water -of the State; and
Ineffective water quality protection by other programs.
The City of Petaluma meets the first three%criteria.
• The Final State General Storm Water Permit (General Permit) is expected to be adopted by the
end of the second quarter of2003. In,order to be in compliance with the permit, Petaluma must
submit a Notice of Intent form, a Storm Water Management Plan .(Plan), and an annual permit
fee of $7,500. However, because the.State General Permit was not adopted prior to the
submission of this Plan, the City acknowledges that they are submitting a Plan to comply with
requirements that could be modified in the General Permit- eventually adopted by the State.
Should there be additional requirements in the final General, Permit that are not included in this
Plan, the City would need additional time to revise the. Plan, ,and to comply with tho.se
requirements.
The Plan acts as the City's permit, describing actions that include best management practices
(BMPs),:measurable goals, and timetables for what are defined as. Minimum Control Measures
(MCMs). During. ,the five-year permit term, Petaluma must submit annual reports to the San
Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) that document and
convey progress in implementing the six MCMs.
The Phase II Rule automatically covers on a nationwide basis all small MS4s located in
urbanized areas. Generally cities between 10,000 and 100,000 fall into this category unless the
state or federal government designated them due to their proximity"to sensitive water bodies or
other criteria. A common criterion is designation as an urbanized area. "Urbanized area" is a
census term applying to a land area comprising of one or more places (towns) and an adjacent
• densely settled surrounding area that together have a residential area of at least 50,000, and a
density of at least 1,000'people per square mile. The City's neighbors, Cotati, Rohnert Park, and
02-205502-020. f• 1 Revised: February 19, 2003
Sonoma, will participate in Phase H Program as well. Once -a small entity is designated into the
storm water program based on urbanized area boundaries, it cannot apply for a waiver. •
Implementation of the maximum extent possible (MEP) -standard will typically require the
development ,and implementation of BMPs and the achievement of measurable goals' to satisfy
each of six defined MCMs. The Plan is a program that coordinates the -six MCMs so ihat'whemi
they are implemented' together, they should result,.in significant reductions in pollutants
discharged to waterways. The six MCMs required by the permit are:
• Public 'Education and Outreach on Impacts .
• Public Involvement and Participation -
Illicit Connection Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Storm Water'Runoff Control
• Post -Construction Storm Water Management in Development
• _ Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping of Municipal Operations
2.2 City Resources
The City presently has programs that fulfill some:of the; required elements of the Phase II
program. These programs; and the departments that areresponsible for implementing them, are
outlined below.
2.2.1 Department of Water Resources and. Conservation
As the department housing the Program Leader, much of the coordination and information
gathering responsibilities: reside here.. The Program.'leaderwill require functional authority (the
ability to obtain work from, staff members that are not directly supervised) over the positions
identified in the other city departments. The Water Resources and Conservation Department
(WR&C) will handle all storm water maintenance issues involved with the water distribution,
storm water conveyance, and sewer collection systems.
2.2.2 Community Development Department -
The Petaluma River is listed as being impaired for sedimentation and nutrients. The primary
sources of sedimentation are construction sites and urban runoff. Minimum compliance with the
Phase II requirements will require coordination between, the Building, Engineering, Planning,
and Code Enforcement divisions. Modifications of existing documents and procedures include:
• General Plan and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) checklist amendments
to incorporate additional water quality elements;
• Grading &.Erosion Control ordinance revision;
• Engineering Design Standards and Standard Plan revisions;
• Building,plan checklist additions;
• Building and public works inspections; and
• Best Management Practices (BMPs) public education materials for specific construction
activities.
02-205502-026 - " 2 Revised: February*19, 2003-
The Community Development Department requires that whenever a construction project is
• subject to environmental review, an Environmental Initial Study Checklist must be completed.
The Checklist addresses potential prof ect impacts to areas such as biological resources, adverse
effects on riparian.habitat, ability to meet water quality standards, and contribution of runoff that
would impact, the existing storm drain system(s), or contribute polluted runoff. The City's
standard conditions of approval require ihat for all large construction projects that involve
grading, an erosion control plan must be submitted to the City for review and approval. If
modifications or changes to the erosion control plans are required following the initial review,
the developer/contractor must resubmit the plans for a second review and approval.
The Community Development Department is involved in building,inspection, plan checking and
public works inspection. Inspectors currently inspect all sites once'in which site work is expected
to continue into the rainy season (October 1 — April 15), to verify that the BMPs and procedures
specified in the site erosion control' plans are being_ followed. They also inspect sites periodically
at other times, on an as -needed basis:
2.2.3 Engineering/Planning Division
When a business, property owner, or developer submits a project to Planning, approval is granted
either by staff, the Planning. Commission, or City Council'.. During the staff review stage, before
any one of these approvals can'be granted, construction and more complicated, post -construction
issues must be addressed. Staff will decide how a project',s layout will impact storm water
runoff, how erosion will be controlled during construction, and who will ultimately be
responsible for post -construction maintenance issues.
During the review conducted byl the Engineering Division, conditions of approval for appropriate
storm water controls will be added to plans submitted. The Engineering Design Standards and
the Grading Ordinance will need to be revised to incorporate Phase II. General Permit
requirements.
All sites greater than one acre in size must.prove coverage by and compliance with the State
Construction Storm Water General Permit as a condition of'approval of a proposed project.
Coverage is provided by the submittal of 'a NOI. Compliance is provided by the implementation
of the requirements of the NOI, -includingthe preparation o,f.d Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan ($WPPP)., The City will then follow-through with the verification of each site's
implementation of storm,water controls. Post=construction maintenance of -storm waterpollution
prevention measures wilt also be written into the development approval process.
2.2.4 Building and.Public Works Inspection
At some point,,projects are referred to the Building Department for 'issuance of a building or
public works.permit'.Each project of one or more acres should, have a site map with BMPs
identified and their location clearly marked. Projects greater than one acre in size require a state
General Construction,perrnit and Sto-m'Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Building will
route the application to various- City department or divisions, or better yet, will meet once or
twice per, month to jointly'rev ew,project submittals and talk through the issues. Specific
•conditions relating to storm water pollution reduction will be placed on the permit that will have
to be met prior to permit issuance.
02-205502-020 J Revised: February 19, 2003
Public education materials have been developed that list actions (tasks) that a contractor must
take for a specific activity such as erosion control, concrete work, painting, paving, equipment
mairitenance,, and so forth. The building or public works inspector will perform and document
each inspection.and will provide appropriate educational brochures to the contractor on the
issues identified. The particular educational materials, distributed to the contractor are noted on
the inspection card,'along with the results of the inspection. Repeat inspections will be
conducted, when necessary, to ensure that storm water BMPs are in place and appropriately
maintained.- The inspection cards w. ill'be used as documentation of site inspections and insurance
that the appropnate'BMPs are being required-. The cards will also be useful for compiling
statistics on inspections, tesults of inspections, and education materials distributed' for the
preparation of the annual reports.
2.3 Outside Agencies
Local agencies and nonprofits also contribute, to many activities that ultimately reduce storm
water pollution, and improve surface water quality, to Petaluma River and its tributaries.
The Southern Sonoma Resource Conservation District (SSCRCD) created the Petaluma-,
Wa'tershed.Enhancement Plan, -which created''the formation of the Petaluma Watershed Council
(PWC). Volunteer creek workdays provide,local school workshops and field trips, and co -hosted
educational workshops for the Adopt=A=Watershed program. Projects include Marin Creek
restoration, Santa Rosa Junior College (Petaluma campus) riparian habitat restoration on Capri
Creek, Lichau Creek, Lynch Creek, Willowbrook Creek erosion repairs, and •sponsoring' a levee.
maintenance permit. SSCRCD also has.a designated Petaluma Watershed Coordinator. The
Sonoma Ecology Center is developing a watershed map for ,the region that is not yet available.
The Sonoma County Waste Management Agency (SC)X'MA) conducts annual household
hazardous waste collection days, and with the cooperation of Empire Waste Management,, Inc.,
offers residential curbside, oil recycling, and other typical recycling, such as paper, glass,. plastic,
tin, and aluminum. WaterKeepers of Northern California has a subset called Petaluma,
RiverKeeper that has volunteer patrols that document .problem areas along the PetalumaRiver.
3.0 ADMINISTRATION, PLANNING, AND,FuNDING
WR&C is taking the lead and will be working closely with the Community Development
Department, the Public Facilities and Services Department, and other city departments to put the
program in place over the next five years. The City will also be working cooperatively with the
Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA), the SCWMA, Empire Waste Management, and the
SSCRCD to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently, and that BMPs implemented by each of
the agencies do not conflict with one another.
The schedule for implementation of the BMPs incorporates a phased approach to implementation
of the SWMP over.`the five-year`permit term. The first two years will be focused primarily on
creating the legal and administrative framework for -.the. SWMP. During this time,:existing '
ordinances will be modified to inclu& Phase II storm water requirements, new ordinances will
be created to address' missing elements of the'SWMP, design standards will be revised,
maintenance procedures will be updated/revised to reflect new practices, and training will occur
02-205502-020 - ' ' " -4 Revised: February 19, 2003
for municipal staff_from various departments to educate City employees on concepts such as
• pollution prevention. 'Followingthese changes, the.remainder of the permit term will primarily
be focused on implementing BMPs. Throughout the permit term, the City will coordinate storm
water activities within departments, between departments, and amongst the other Phase II
communities in Sonoma County.This will be the primary job of the Program Leader.
Approximately 60% of one Full Time, Equivalent. (FTE), or 0.6 FTE, will be utilized for the
Program Leader to carry out the organization, coordination, supervision and direction of the
City's SWMP. Other departments will have to devote time to implementing their respective
responsibilities for the program.as well. The Community Development Department will need 0.3
FTEs to handle the plan review, and 0.1 FTE for post -construction storm water BMPs for all
projects within the City. The Building and Public Works inspectors will require 0.2 FTEs to
review storm water BMP placement in construction plans, and several inspections of sites
following rainfall events of a designated, magnitude. The Program Leader will rely on the
department heads to summarize the activities of the crews they supervise.
Petaluma may also add a position in future years of the permit term for an individual to oversee
the data entry, data tracking, secretarial; and other administrative, tasks that the Engineering
Manager would be more efficient to delegate. The paperwork and record -keeping portion of the
Program Leader's position is substantial, and the Program Leader's'time would be spent more
efficiently in program development and coordination.
• The specific personnel and resources needs to implement the proposed BMPs within each of the
Program Areas are outlined in Table 2, Resource Needs Table.
According to the WR&C Director, it is likely that the General Fund will continue to be the
budget source for the majority of,the components of the Storm Water Management Program over
the next five years.
3.1 Geographic and Land Use Description
3.1.1 Petaluma River Watershed
The City of Petaluma, California,is located approximately 35 miles northwest of San Francisco,
in southwestern Sonoma County, along the Highway 101 corridor. Petaluma is approximately
13,1 square miles in size, with a year 2000 population_ of approximately 54,548 residents., The
Petaluma River's watershedds approximately 146 square miles, 19 miles long and 13 miles wide,
with the. City 'of Petaluma near its center.
An in-depth study, of the watershed surrounding the City of Petaluma was conducted by the
Southern Sonoma Resource Conservation District and was summarized in a report, entitled,
Petaluma Watershed Enhancement Plan, dated July 1999. The following description of the
watershed is taken from that report.
Located in southern -Sonoma, County, California, and a portion of northeastern Mann County,
California, the Petaluma River Watershed encompasses a 146 square mile, pear-shaped basin.
• The watershed is approximately 19 miles long and 13 miles wide with the City of Petaluma near
its center.
02-205502-020 5 Revised: February 19, 2003
The headwaters and ephemeral tributaries of Petaluma River begin on the steep southwest slopes •
of Sonoma Mountain, the southern slopes of Mechai Hill, and the eastern slopes of Weigand's
Hill and Mt. Burdell. -The confluence of Willow Brook, Liberty Creek, and Weigand's Creek
form the headwaters of the Petaluma Watershed just upstream of Rainsville Road and Stony
Point Road. The Petaluma River itself flows across the Denman Flat area and through the City of
Petaluma. Tidal influence extends upstream of the confluence with Lynch Creek. The Petaluma.
River empties into the northwest portion of San Pablo Bay.
The lower 12 miles of the.Petaluma.River flowthrough the Petaluma Marsh. Major tributaries in
the eastern portion of the watershe.d,include Lichau Creek, which flows into Willow Brook and
feeds into Denman Flat area near Stony Point Road and Rainsville Road,, Lynch_ Creek, Adobe
Creek, and Ellis Creek. These tributaries flow through both unincorporated land, and. land -within
the City of Petaluma limits -before joining the Petaluma River.
Three major creeks are located on the western side of the watershed. Weigand's Creek and Marin
Creek flow into Liberty Creek, which also feeds into Denman Flat.
3.1.2 City of Petaluma Watershed
An in-depth _study of the hydrology and hydraulics of the watershed surrounding the, City of
Petaluma and the adequacy of the major storm drainage, facilities serving the City was conducted
by Black & Veatch. Corporation and was summarized in a report, entitled, Technical
Memorandum No. 2, .dated July 1999. The following description of the City's surface water .
system is taken from that report.
The City's surface water system consists of ditches, ,natural and improved (mechanized)
channels,: pipes, and culverts along and "within several drainage areas that lie both outside of and.
within the. City limits. All of these drainage areas discharge into the Petaluma River which then
flows south and east to San Pablo Bay.
The identified creeks flowing through the .City are Adobe Creek, Capri Creek, Corona Creek,
Kelly'Creek, Lynch Creek, Thompson Creek and Washington Creek. Two additional channels,
North Corona Channel and Willow Brook, also lie within the City. All of the creeks and channels
discharge 7into the Petaluma. River, which, flows through'the City from northwest.to southeast.
Additionally, a number of unnamed channels exist in all sections of the City and are the City's
responsibility to maintain.
The flows -within, many of the drainage areas are 'predominantly seasonal in nature. The channels
are periodically dry, or contain only small nuisance .water flows, but are impacted by storm flows
during the rainy season, from October to April.
The City's storm drain system is shown on the City's storm drain maps, Attachment A. Petaluma
Creek is the, mostprominent waterway in the. region, flowing generally along Petaluma's western
boundary:(Figurel 1): Figure 2 is an overview map of the City of Petaluma's watershed boundary,
as well as the Sonoma County Water Agency's Flood Zone designations.
02-205502-020 `6 Revised: February f9,'2003`
3.1.3 Land Use
• The most intensively developed area within the Petaluma River watershed is the City of
Petaluma, which consists largely of single-family residential and public lands (including schools,
the hospital, and state park lands). Land Uses in the watershed include intensive urban
development, rural residential, agriculture, and open space. The urban development is
concentrated within the city limits of Petaluma. Figure 3, City of Petaluma Existing Land Use
Map, illustrates and defines the land use patterns within the. City's sphere of influence.

4.0 POLLUTANTS OF CONCERN
The Petaluma River watershed, supports beneficial uses for cold and warm freshwater habitat,
fish migration, preservation of rare.and endangered species, fish spawning, wildlife habit, and
contact and non -contact water recreation. In addition, groundwater is a source of drinking and
irrigation water in Petaluma and rural' areas of the county.
Impacts from urban, construction, hillside development, and agricultural runoff have resulted in
the listing of the Petaluma River on the 2002 Clean Water Act's Section 303(d) list for nutrients,
pathogens, sediment, diazinon, 'and' nickel (nickel is listed for the tidal portion of the River).
Nutrients, pathogens, and sediment are l"isted as "medium priority" pollutants, while diazinon
and nickel are listed as "low priority"'pollutants.
During the initial permit term, the City's SWMP will focus efforts and resources on BMPs that
address the reduction of nutrients,. pathogens, and sediment in the .City's storm water due to the
fact that these pollutants are given a higher priority by the Regional Board. Future storm water
permits will address the lower priority pollutants, diazinon and nickel, if such constituents
continue to cause impairment to the River.
4.1 - Nutrients
Nutrient impairment was identified prior -to 1988 and was primarily concerned- with wastewater
discharges to the creek. Nutrients consist of algae -growth stimulating substances such as
ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Unionized ammonia, the more toxic portion of total
ammonia, is toxic to fish, especially when water begins to .become more basic, around 7.8 pH
units.
4.2 Pathogens
Pathogen impairment in Petaluma River was identified prior to 1988, and was. also primarily
concerned with wastewater discharges to the creek. Pathogens were addressed by improving
treatment of SCWA's wastewater treatment plant and by halting discharge during low flow
months. Pathogens consist of•total and fecal coliform, E. coli, and Enterococci. Most recently,
the pathogen focus has been on fecal coliform and Enterococci, the less costly and more
definitive indicator organisms of fecal contamination.
02-205502-020 7 Revised: February 19,2003
4.3 Sediment
Sediment impairment was identified more recently, and is .primarily concerned with urban,
construction, and agricultural runoff. Sediment consists of turbidity - a measurement of the more
fine particles or. cloudiness, of water, sediment --the soil that sinks to the bottom of a water body,
suspended material — the, larger particles, of water that can be removed by chemical addition, and
settleable matter — the particles that eventually settle to the bottom of a water body. Data
collection for this TMDL will focus on characterizing the channel and habitat conditions with
respect. to factors limiting fish habitat and sediment sources. The SSCRCD is seeking funding
under Phase II of Proposition 13 for a sediment budget assessment.
4.4 Low Priority. Pollutants
Diazinon and nickel are fisted as low priority pollutants in. the Petaluma River watershed, in
addition to the' medium priority listings for nutrients, pathogens, and sediment. Diazinon is a
commonly used pesticide, and is listed as a pollutant that impairs the Petaluma River in both the
upper reaches. as well as in, the tidal portion of the! river. Diazinon is linked to harmful .effects .on
aquatic-life'and.has been detected in concentrations exceeding water quality standards in 331/o'of
samples collected.
Nickel is the second low -priority pollutant causing_ impairment to the tidal portion. of the
Petaluma.River. Potential sources of this pollutant are municipal point sources, storm water
runoff, and atmospheric deposition. Nickel is linked to harmful effects on aquatic.life. There
have been four incidents of the water quality standards for nickel being exceeded since 1993.
5.0 MIM-MUM CONTROL MEASURES
The Phase II Rule defines a Storm Water Management Plan as a program, consisting of six
elements that, when implemented together, are expected to achieve significant reductions of
pollutants discharged into receiving water bodies, in this case Petaluma River and its tributaries.
Each of the six MCMs is described below, along,with the types of activities that are,included in.
the MCM. Table 1, Storm Water Management Plan — At A Glance, will provide additional
details pertaining to current and planned BMP_s, implementation plans, measurable goals to
measure the success' of BMPs, the timeframes for implementation, pollutants addressed,
audiences targeted, and the individuals or agency responsible for the implementation.
The :six MCMs required by the General Permit are:
5.1 Public Education and Outreach
The Public Education and Outreach MCM consists of distributing materials and performing
outreach to inform citizens about impacts polluted storm water runoff canhave on the Petaluma
River and its tributaries. Most people are unaware -that there are everyday activities that they
perform that have negative impacts on the creeks near their homes and businesses. Even when
people are marginally aware that they may be contributing some form of pollution, their actions,
multiplied by the millions of inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay area, are not realized. There is
greater compliance with the program; as the public becomes aware of their personal
responsibility for protecting water quality.

Developing coo erative relationshi s with City groups and nei borin agencies and is strongly
P g P P Y€�' P neighboring g gY
encouraged for this MCM to reduce costs, avoid confusing the public with'varying messages,
and maximize the effectiveness that comes with a joint_effort. California's General Pen -nit
suggests that MS4s work with, local., school districts by providing a storm, water education
program, while the school.district would provide a time slot in a particular grade level for the
presentation to take place. The Petaluma Watershed Foundation and other environmental and
educational groups are currently collaborating to provide educational information to Casa
Grande and Petaluma High Schools. These groups have expressed an interest in working with the
City on their Phase II storm water program to expand on the existing program, and to work
together to achieve common goals. The City will strive to take advantage of this opportunity, and
develop relationships with the volunteer groups that are active in the community.
The City of Petaluma has also demonstrated a commitment,, to public education and outreach in
the areas of water conservation and pollution prevention with a variety of activities. To
encourage outdoor water conservation, the City has implemented a water waste prohibition
ordinance, a water efficient'landscape ordinance, and,a large landscape water conservation
program. These activities :are important, to storm water pollution prevention by reducing runoff
from landscapes. Landscape runoff often carries with it pollutants such as sediment, nutrients,
and pesticides. Other activities include annual household hazardous waste drop-off events,
recycling, and educational programs designed to prevent solid and hazardous wastes from
entering the storm drain system due to 'improper. disposal.
The City's programs will be enhanced for compliance with Phase II permitting requirements by
developing quantifiable targets and' evaluation tools for already ex_isting.programs. Outreach
programs will be augmented to include messages tailored specifically to storm water pollution
prevention. In order to, be -more cost-effective and time -efficient, the City will partner with other
agencies and Phase II communities, as encouraged by the Regional Board. Petaluma will, as the
largest of the Phase H municipalities n. Sonoma County, invite other, smaller MS4s in Sonoma
County to meet on a regular basis, to -shareldeas and resources. The City will also partner with
other communities to investigate increasing the -household hazardous waste collection events to
twice per year, to develop educational materials, to modify existing materials into bi-lingual
formats, etc. This type of partnering will create a unified message to the various targeted
segments of the public as well as help bring the City into compliance with the public education
and outreach.MCM. Additional BMPs that the City proposes implementing to'further its
compliance with the. Phase .II requirements of this MCM are described in Table 1.
5.2 Public Participation/Involvement
Public participation and outreach provides opportunities for citizens to participate in program
development and implementation,, including publicizing, public hearings and/or encouraging
citizen representatives in a, watershed group. As with public education and outreach, the City is
currently implementing several public involvement and participation programs, often in
partnership with local volunteer organizations. These existing programs and activities include an
annual river cleanup event, use of volunteers for storm drain stenciling, replacement of concrete
storm drain covers, and'the.existence of the SSRCD, which provides the public educational and
• hands-on opportunities (Adopt-A=Watershed) to learn about and improve the Petaluma River
watershed.
02-205502-020 . . •9 Revised: February 19, 2003
The City, has as a goal to :support the existing PWC. initiated by the SSCRCD. The.Program 40
Leader would attend 'the meetings and support implementation of the goals of the Petaluma
Watershed Enhancement Plan that fall -within, the purview of the City. By being involved with
the Council, the City, can' promote public awareness and involvement by advertising River and
Creek Clean-up .days and other public projects via utility bill stuffers or inpublic display areas.
The City also plans to initiate. a Coastal Clean-up Day in conjunction with the school districts.
The. City will Join,with .other cities all over the country clean up trash and debris in and along
creeks, drainage areas, and other water bodies.
In addition, the, Program Leader. should coordinate with other Phase II MS4s within thei same
watershed during the regularly scheduled Phase II storm water group meetings to discuss and
devise a plan_ for,,acquiring baseline water quality data for the cities. The program selected should
be .implemented starting in FY 03/04,to ensure that some type of baseline characterization would
be available to provide a preliminary analysis of the.effective-ness of the SWMP bythe end of the
permit term. Additional BMPs that the City proposes' implementing to further its compliance
with, the Phase 11 requirements of this MCM are described in Table 1.
5.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Illicit discharge detection and elimination consists of developing a plan to systematically check
the storm drain system for connections to sewer or septic systems. It includes developing a storm
drain system.inap and informing the, community of hazards associated with illegal discharges and
improper disposal of wastes: In addition -to those mentioned above, 'illicit discharges are s
identified,as commercial car wash and laundry wastewaters, grease from restaurants,..radiator
flushing disposal, spills from auto accidents, 'improper disposal of household toxics and .
automotive fluids. It also includes adopting an ordinance to prohibit non -storm Water tdischarges
into the,storm sewer system and implement appropriate procedures and actions. The -.most
common steps taken to. eliminate illicit connections are to (in.order) locate the problem areas, .
find the source of the discharge, remove or correct.the illicit discharge, and lastly, document the.
actions taken to.illustrate progress.
Several. components, of the illicit discharge detection and. elimination (IDDE) requirements. for
MS4s are currently being implemented. in the City of Petaluma. WR&C has already taken great
strides in this MCM by budgeting for three new positions in the utility division. The base storm
drain map is completed; with thework of the new crew, the drain inlets (DIs) and outfalls can be
identified and added to the AutoCAD map.
The Petaluma Fire Department, US Filter, and the Sonoma County Environmental Health
Department implement 7several IDDE programs in the City. These include Hazardous materials
inspections, pretreatment inspections of commercial arid industrial users, and restaurant
inspections. The SCWA conducts inspections that'include searching for illicit discharges along
SCWA-maintained waterways.
As with the. otherMCMs in this'SWMP, the City will develop implementation targets and
methods for evaluating the 'implementation for programs and activities already in-place:to
achieve greater compliance with Phase II requirements. This will be achieved by working closely
02-205502-020 -10 Revised: February 19,,"2003"
with the various agencies providing these services within the City,'s jurisdiction. The City will
. further satisfy MCM requirements by adding, several new components to its already strong IDDE
program. The City has the goal of'reducing and preventing illicit discharges by identifying areas
associated with illegal dumping. For restaurants associated with illegally.discharging grease,
once identified; the City candistribute educational materials to these businesses. Adding a storm
water component to the PetalumaTire Department's inspections will also be discussed. The PFD
inspectors may also assist the City by distributing educational materials during their inspections.
The City will also use TV cameras to investigate possible illicit connections.
Once Phase I communities have developed their.ordinances for storm water pollution prevention,
the City will develop its own ordinance. There are many opportunities for the City to benefit
from the educational material's already developed by Phase I communities. With permission from
the originating agency, the City can modify, existing materials to. target local needs, rather than
developing new materials. Additional BMPs that the City°proposes implementing to. further its
compliance with the Phase II requirements of this MCM, are described in Table 1.
5.4 Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
Construction site storm water runoff control consists of developing, implementing and enforcing
an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb one or more
acres. The soil that can be carried from a construction site during a relatively short period of time
would take much longer, to erode under naturally vegetated'conditions.-Excess sediment requires
periodic dredging of navigable Water bodies and destroys aquatic. habitat. This control measure
mandates an erosion and, grading ordinance or policy that requires implementation of appropriate
sediment controls. Also required are procedures must be developed for municipal site plan
review of construction plans, ensuring that the types of controls and precautions that will be
taken during the wet season are clearly indicated and are adequate for the site conditions. Site
inspections and checklists' must be developed that verify that the erosion control plan has been
implemented as permitted..- The City_must also develop an enforcement protocol for the ordinance
or policy. Sites greater than one acre in size, or less than one acre but part of a larger common
plan of development or sale, must obtain a Statewide Construction Storm Water Permit by
submitting a Notice of Intent and preparing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
The City will be implementing a series of simple, informative brochures for distribution to
developers and contractors that are coordinated with a checklist for the building and Public
Works inspectors to take to the jobsite. The checklistis used. to document the BMPs the project
described in its Erosion Control Plan. At the end of each fiscal year, the inspectors will simply
summarize the facts, such as how many stop work orders were issued, or the number of repeat
site visits made, and how many of each type of brochure were distributed to document what was
done for this MCM. Additional BMPs that the City proposes implementing -to further its
compliance with the Phase II"requirements of this MCM are described in Table 1.
5.5 Post -Construction ,Storm Water Management
Post -construction storm Water management is necessary in areas undergoing new development
and redevelopmentbecause of'the .impact of runoff from those areas. Many studies have
• indicated thatprior,planning and designs that -minimize pollutants in post -construction discharges
are the most cost-effective means -of storm water quality management. Two forms of post-
02-205502-020 11 Revised: February 19, 2003
construction runoff impact water quality. As rainwater flows over areas ,altered by development,
it picks up small particles. of soil and chemicals such as oil and grease, pesticides, fertilizers,
metals, and.fecal matter: and enters creeks and other water -conveyances. Once there, these
pollutants impair aquatic habitat and impact surface water.quality. Urban runoff also impacts
water bodies;byincreasing the volume and velocity of water entering storm drains and. creeks.
Urban'developmentreplaces natural vegetation with impervious surfaces such as rooftops,
driveways, parking lots, and streets. Impervious surfaces prevent water from soaking into the
ground — thus replenishing groundwater supplies, and sends unnaturally large, short-term
volumes of'storm water to creeks. The combination creates streambed scouring and downstream
flooding; which leads to loss of aquatic and sometimes human life and property damage.
The.latestversion of the Draft General Permit requires municipalities with populations over
50,000, or an expected growth potential of greater than 25%.over 10. years, to develop Standard
Urban Storm, Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMPs) by the end of the five-year permit term.
SUSMPs;are defined as the portions of municipal storm water management programs that,
address storm water pollution arising from private sector new development and redevelopment.
Permittees and/or developers must adopt the requirements set forth in the SUSMPs, and must
incorporate appropriate SUSMP requirements ,into their project plans.
The City will, develop a SUSMP by the end of the five-year permit term. The City is subject to
this requirement due to its expected growth potential of greater than 25% over the next 10 years.
The goals of a SUSMP are to improve, water quality by minimizing or preventing pollutants
generated at developed sites from reaching, the storm drain system, to limit post -development
runoff to pre-d'evelopment.conditions to the MEP, and to conserve natural areas to the MEP.
Generally; SUSMPs include informationabout the_ types of projects subject to post -construction
BMPs; .the project requirements during the project planning, design, construction; -and post-
construc'tion phases; planned, uses and activities and potential resulting specific pollutants;
examples of different types of BMPs; and sizing criteria for BMPs. Permittees and/or developers
must adopt the requirements set forth in the; SUSMPs, and. must incorporate appropriate SUSMP
requirements into their project.plans. In addition to developing .and implementing a'SUSMP
program, the City Will develop a post -construction BMP inspection program to ensure the
maintenance of the BMPs. Additional BMPs that the City proposes implementing;t'o further, its
compliance with the Phase II requirements of this MCM are described in Table l..
5.6 .Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping,for .Municipal Operations .
Much ofthe responsibility for -reducing polluted storm water runoff falls on the municipality
operating the storm water system. This MCM requires MS4 operators to examine and alter their
actions in order`to reduce polluted runofffrom municipal facilities, streets, parking lots; open
spaces, and corporation yards (the location of vehicle maintenance operations, .and the storage of
road repair materials, vehicle fluids, hazardous materials) into local water bodies. This measure
requires the development of an Operation and Maintenance plan, training City employees on
good housekeeping.and pollution prevention techniques, erosion control inspection, and.storrn
drain maintenance, and determining which BMPs and goals will work best for the City.

Increasing the frequency of operations such as street sweeping/cleaning and drop inlet cleaning
is an important component of 'this MCM., Reducing the volume of trash, debris and pollutants in
storm water runoff from streets is an essential part of this MCM. Identifying and concentrating
street sweeping and DI cleaning efforts, in areas with the greatest potential impact on storm water
quality (such as industrial and downtown areas) is a way to prioritize these labor- and
equipment -intensive BMPs:
0
Other important BMPs include river and creek maintenance activities. For Petaluma, these BMPs
will be coordinated with the. Sonoma County Water Agency,, who has jurisdiction over a portion
of the waterways in the City. Although information is available;iegarding maintenance
responsibilities for creeks in the City, existing and plannedmaiiitenatice programs will be better
coordinated via new agreements or memorandums of understanding with the SCWA, and
whenever possible, resources and responsibilities shared. This type of effort will decrease the
burden on each agency, and result in a 'standardized and effective maintenance program.
The City has been a proponent of Integrated Pest Management training for Parks Department
personnel, and this program is highlybeneficial in reducing polluted runoff from landscaped
areas, including parks and bike paths (which are commonly located adjacent to creeks). The City
also has the goal of acquiring" additional training opportunities for city employees in the areas of
storm water and pollution. prevention. Training City Public Works personnel on these topics will
provide much benefit to the .City in the implementation of its SWMP. Employees who
understand pollution prevention and storm water management concepts can be the "eyes and
ears" of the City, and will set positive examples for other city employees and the citizens of the
City, Additional BMPs that the City proposes -implementing to further its compliance with the
Phase II requirements of this MCM are described in Table 1.
6.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
An Annual Report is required to, be submitted to the SFRWQCB that captures the previous fiscal
year's storm water management activities, and the results of those activities. The first report is
due on September 15, 2004, and will document the activities that took place between March 10,
2003 and June 30, 2004. Subsequent annual reports are due September 15th of each year and
should summarize the activities performed July lst of the preceding year through June 30th of the
current year. Petaluma will -continuously document activities thattook,place during the fiscal
year, and regularly determine if measurable goals were achieved, and assess the success or
failure of the selected BMPs included in the attached tables. If modifications need to be made to
alter a BMPlo make it;more successful; the. City will make those changes and note the decision.
in the annual report. Petaluma's SWMP is a dynamic document. that will be revised and updated
annually_ to reflect the progress off the program. The Annual :Reports will demonstrate the City's
current efforts to reduce,pol_lutants to the maximum extent practicable, as well as their future
plans for the storm water management program.
