Monthly Treasurer’s Report
For the month ending in October 31, 2022
December 8, 2022
This report presents the City’s cash activity and investment portfolio as of October 31, 2022. The report includes:
1) Cash and investments at October 31, 2022 compared to the prior month;
2) A reconciliation of cash and investments to City ledger balances; 3) All investments managed by the City on its own behalf; 4) Beginning of year fund balance, revenues, expenditures and ending fund balance for each fund at October 31, 2022
The following schedule is a summary of the City’s cash and investments based on recorded value as of October 31, 2022 compared with the prior month.
September 30, 2022 October 31, 2022 $ Change
Cash - Pooled $ 11,888,285.86 $ 11,470,873.17 $ (417,412.69) Restricted Cash $ 253,183.52 $ 228,538.99 $ (24,644.53) Investments held by the City 10,410,022.05 10,426,668.99 $ 16,646.94 TOTAL CASH AND INVESTMENTS $ 22,551,491.43 $ 22,126,081.15 $ (425,410.28) Summary of activity for the Month and Future Liquidity: The majority of the difference in the recorded value for cash held by the City from last month is mainly due to the disbursement for July 2022 through September 2022 sheriff services offset with August 2022 sales tax revenue and September 2022 transient occupancy tax revenue. The decrease in restricted cash is due to the disbursement to ENGIE for services through September 2022. The value of investments increase mainly due to Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) interest earning through the quarter ending September 30, 2022. The portfolio is sufficiently liquid to meet expected expenditures for the coming six months.

City of Buellton
Investment Summary
October 31, 2022
Currently, short-term excess cash is primarily invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) administered by the State Treasurer. This is a high quality investment available in terms of safety, liquidity, and yield. Due to fluctuations in the marketplace, the City may have some investments with a current market value that is greater or less than the recorded value. This difference has no effect on investment yield as the City intends to hold the securities to maturity. However, generally accepted accounting principles require that market gains and losses be reported as interest earnings or losses at year-end.

Council Agenda Item No.: 5
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: December 8, 2022
Subject: Acceptance and Filing of Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Annual Report FY 2021-2022
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The Federal Clean Water Act requires the City of Solvang (City) to operate under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal stormwater permit for the discharge of stormwater to surface waters from the City’s storm drain system. On February 5, 2013, the NPDES Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) General Permit (Order No. 2013-001-DWQ) was adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The 5-year Phase II Small MS4 General Permit (Stormwater Permit) became effective July 1, 2013 and remains in effect until the next Stormwater Permit becomes effective. The SWRCB is expected to issue a new Stormwater Permit in the spring or summer 2023 for public comment with its target effective date sometime in the 2024.
Currently, the Stormwater Permit is organized into the following 10 program elements that are designed to help eliminate and/or reduce the discharge of pollutants to the City’s storm drain system: (1) Program Management: (2) Education and Outreach; (3) Public Involvement and Participation; (4) Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination; (5) Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control; (6) Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping; (7) Post Construction Stormwater Management; (8) Water Quality Monitoring; (9) Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement; (10) Total Maximum Daily Loads Compliance Requirements.
As part of the City’s Stormwater Management Program and as required by the SWRCB, the City submitted a Phase II Small MS4 Annual Report and a Central Coast PostConstruction Storm Water Management Requirements (PCR) Annual Report via the SWRCB’s Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) database. This constitutes the City’s Stormwater Management Program Annual Report.
Attachment 1 is a copy of the Annual Report (including the supporting documentation) submitted to the SWRCB that demonstrates the activities throughout the year that help the City achieve permit compliance.
SWMP Annual Report Page 2 December 8, 2022
The City will discuss the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Solvang as “Co-Permittees” for FY 2022/2023 to comply with the Stormwater Permit as well as other local agencies to accomplish the overall water quality goals for our region.
Attachment 1 is a copy of the joint Annual Report (including the supporting documentation) that was submitted to the SWRCB to demonstrate the City’s efforts to achieve permit compliance during the previous reporting year. A copy of the Annual Report is provided on the City’s Public Works Department Stormwater Management Webpage under the Annual Reports Section.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council receive and accept the Annual Report.

Erin Maker, Carpinteria
Melissa Nelson, Goleta
Mary Zepeda, Solvang
Rose Hess, Buellton
From: Cathleen Garnand, Project Clean Water Manager, County of Santa Barbara Subject: Transmittal of 303(d) Monitoring Program Results, 2021-2022 The following summary and supporting documents describe implementation of the seventh year of the 303(d) monitoring effort.
Background
In accordance with the NPDES California Phase II General Municipal MS4 Permit (Permit) Section E.13.c 303(d) Monitoring requirements, the County of Santa Barbara Project Clean Water (County), along with the Cities of Carpinteria, Goleta, Solvang, and Buellton (Partner Agencies), implemented the 303(d) Storm Water Monitoring Program. This program, guided by the Monitoring Plan (Geosyntec 2016) and Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP, Geosyntec 2016), was approved by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in their letter dated March 4, 2016.
This program is also intended to address Permit Section E.14.a. Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan requirements by applying the results of the wet weather monitoring from representative urban land use sites to the pollutant Load, Prioritization, Reduction (LPR) Model. The first three years of sampling data were analyzed and summarized in the Urban Stormwater Monitoring Report (Geosyntec, Sept 2018). Recommendations from the report that were implemented in this 2020-2021 sampling year include:
303(d) Monitoring Results
• Continue monitoring to create a sufficiently robust dataset in order to determine whether mean concentration values used in the LPR Model should be replaced. • Discontinue pesticides that were not detected in the first three years of the program: carbamates and urea pesticides, diuron and degradates, and neonicotinoids. • Discontinue toxicity because there was no statistically significant correlation found between toxicity and the measured constituents that would cause toxicity (e.g., pesticides, metals, and nutrient detections); without correlation, the data do not provide substantial insight into the characterization of storm water discharges or otherwise inform management decisions.
Additionally, after the October 25, 2021 sampling event, it was determined that sufficient data had been collected to date to populate the model for the residential land use; therefore, monitoring was not conducted at the Solvang and Carpinteria residential land use sites at the latter events.
Summary
During the reporting period of Jul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022, four wet weather events were monitored per the following documents:
• Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan 2015-2018 (Geosyntec 2016) • 303(d) Storm Water Sampling, Field Sampling Protocol (County 2020) • 303(d) Sampling Details (County 2020)
Three monitoring events per year are targeted for each reference land use site. Table 1 summarizes the event information.

303(d) Monitoring Results
The Sampling Log (Attachment 1) describes the storm events that were tracked throughout the year. The log includes details on forecasts, events that were considered but not monitored, and events that were aborted for reasons such as lack of sufficient runoff forecast or other constraints.
The monitoring results are provided in Attachment 2. Note that numeric thresholds or standards do not exist for many of the parameters analyzed. Those that do have comparative benchmark, criteria, or basin plan objectives, are listed in Attachment 3, along with the sources. Results where values exceeded a benchmark, criteria, or Central Coast Basin Plan objective are discussed below.

DEFINITIONS
Pollutant of Concern A pollutant that is reasonably expected to be present in urban runoff and may reasonably be expected to affect the designated uses of the receiving water. Urban runoff pollutants of concern may include sediments, non-sediment solids, nutrients, pathogens, oxygendemanding substances, petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, floatables, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), trash, and/or pesticides and herbicides.
Program Element Program Elements are distinct components of a stormwater program that focus on reducing pollutants from a particular activity or pollutant source/target audience. The Program Elements for the Phase II municipal stormwater program include the following:
• Program Management
• Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
• Post Construction
• Water Quality Monitoring
Target Audience A “Target Audience” consists of the people (individuals and populations) that are expected to gain knowledge or engage in the behaviors that a stormwater program is intended to elicit. BMPs and other controls are implemented by many types of third parties, so the term “target audience” is broadly defined and virtually any group of people could be a target audience, including municipal staff members, the general public, elected and appointed officials, other government agencies, etc.
Source Anything with the potential to generate pollutants prior to their introduction to the MS4. A typical program broadly addresses the following source categories: residential areas, construction and development sites, commercial and industrial sources, and municipal operations. Sources may alternatively be defined by the populations associated with areas, facilities, or activities, e.g., residents, dogwalkers, mobile car washers, or restaurant employees.
Stormwater
(“Storm Water”)
Any surface flow or storm drainpipe flow, runoff, and drainage consisting entirely of water from precipitation.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Solvang (COS and the City of Buellton (COB) prepared and submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board a multi-agency PEAIP for Year 2 on October 13, 2015, through the Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) Database. COB and COS subsequently submitted a revision dated February 19, 2016, to be uploaded with Year 3 Annual Report. This report summarizes implementation of the PEAIP for Year 8 of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System’s (NPDES) Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) General Permit, for calendar year July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021.
The purpose of the PEAIP is to track the short- and long-term effectiveness of the stormwater program, the specific measures that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the prioritized best management practices (BMPs), the groups of BMPs, and/or the stormwater program as a whole. The purpose of the PEAIP is also to provide a description of how the COB and COS will use the information obtained through the PEAIP to improve the stormwater program. The PEAIP outlines the approach that the COB and COS will use to adaptively manage its stormwater program to improve its effectiveness at reducing the identified high- and medium-priority Pollutants of Concern (POCs), thereby achieving the maximum extent practicable (MEP) standard and protecting water quality. The PEAIP is focused on the impact that the stormwater program is having rather than the strict implementation of the program. By focusing the Effectiveness Assessment on this manner, the COB and COS will increase their ability to understand if its stormwater program is achieving the intended outcomes and can identify necessary modifications to the program to make it more effective.
The PEAIP for Year 3-9 focused primarily on the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Outcome Levels for Target Audiences (Outcome Levels 2-3), and the Sources and Impacts (Outcome Level 4-5). The COB and COS developed management questions for highpriority POCs (Nutrients) and the medium-priority POCs (Sedimentation/Siltation and Total Suspended Solids), and then conducted a data collection assessment of each of these POCs.
The data collected will be utilized by both the COB and COS to improve their respective stormwater program and protect water quality.
In order to determine the specific target audiences and the appropriate prioritized BMPs, the COB and COS reviewed the following: a) proposed TMDLs by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (CCRWQCB), b) 2010 303(d) List of Impaired Waterbodies, c) CCRWQCB April 24th, 2014 Consultation Handout “Solvang – Buellton Urban Water Quality Profile”, d) Central Coast Ambient Monitoring Program’s (CCAMP) Ambient Water Quality Data, e) COB and COS Storm Water Management Plan’s (SWMP) Guidance Document’s List of POCs, and f) proposed regional Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan. Best professional judgment, knowledge of local and/or regional water quality issues and common urban pollutants were also factors in the identification of POCs.
Target audiences for each source of high- and medium-priority POCs have been identified and the COB and COS have actively taken steps, during each permit year, to identify and bridge communication and action barriers through the selection and implementation of prioritized BMPs.
The prioritized BMPs reflect stormwater program activities that are intended to change behaviors of target audiences and result in pollutant source mitigation. The prioritized BMPs,
listed below in Figure 8 Prioritized BMP Identified for Target Audiences within COB and COS PEAIP, are being implemented as part of the Cities stormwater program, and where applicable, corresponding data was collected and analyzed at the close of Permit Year 9 in order to assess program effectiveness and identify opportunities for program improvement.
Although the PEAIP was developed as a multi-agency plan between the COB and the COS, each City will prepare and submit an individual PEAIP Annual Summary moving forward beginning in Year 8.
Below is the PEAIP Annual Summary for Year 9:
2.0 DATA ASSESSMENT/COLLECTION METHODS
For the PEAIP, the COS focused its data assessment for Nutrients and Sedimentation/Siltation (Total Suspended Solids) using the Management Questions, Data Assessment and Data Collection Methods outlined within Table 5 and 6 of the COB and COS PEAIP (Appendix A and B). The data assessment for each POC consisted primarily of a qualitative assessment and/or a descriptive statistic methodology and the data collection methods included internal tracking by stormwater program, review of external data sources, interviews/surveys, site investigations/inspections; and monitoring and sampling as described below within COB and COS PEAIP.
3.0 DATA ASSESSMENT/COLLECTION – DATA SUMMARY
3.1 NUTRIENTS
3.1.1 Education and Outreach (CASQA Outcome Level 2-3)

3.1.1.4 Target Audience
3.1.1.4.1 Landscapers
The COS continues to annually distribute the Landscaper’s Guide to BMPs to City approved Landscape Contractors; and distribute the guide to and other local landscapers when identified via direct mail, email. Additionally, the Santa Barbara County Water Agency continues to disseminate the Landscaper’s Guide to BMPs digitally to all students attending the Green Gardener class offered on-line via Santa Barbara City College and/or Allan Hancock Community College.
3.1.1.4.2 Pet and Animal (Horse/Livestock) Owners
The COS collaborated with the Cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and the County of Santa Barbara on a new Pet Owner’s Guide to BMPs that included topics such as minimizing toxic chemical use, wastewater, and waste management; and on a new Animal Care and Handling Facilities Guide to BMPs that included topics such as animal pens/structures/enclosures, bedding, composting, grazing and pasture, minimizing toxic chemical use, waste water and waste management. On April 21, 2022, both BMP Guides were finalized and posted to the City’s website in both English and Spanish. Both COS and COS are working with the Santa Barbara County Animal Services to distribute the BMP Guides on behalf of the City’s and Partner City’s to Pet and Animal (Horse/Livestock) Owners.
3.1.1.5 Direct Mailers/Media Campaign
3.1.1.5.1 Articles
During Year 9, the COS submitted for publication the following stormwater pollution prevention articles within the Santa Ynez Valley News: ”Check Your Drainage”, “How to Recognize and Report Illicit Discharges” and “Pollution Prevention Tips for Pet Owners and Animal Care and Handling Facilities”.
3.1.1.5.2 Direct Mailers
During Year 9 the COS did not have any direct mailers but rather focused on development of new Pet Owner and Animal Care & Handling Facilities Guide to BMPs for distribution via the Santa Barbara Animal Services as noted in Section 3.1.1.4.2.
3.1.1.5.3 Tip of the Month
The COS Stormwater and Water Conservation webpages contain Tip of the Month (TOM) that is published annually and can be downloaded. The Stormwater TOM contain nutrient related Tips such as:
April: Using less-toxic products at home to help reduce pesticide pollution in your community. Look for Eco-Friendly tags on the product shelves of nurseries and hardware stores to help you identify less-toxic alternatives. Visit the Our Water Our World (OWOW) website or a local participating business in Solvang (Valley Hardware) or in Buellton (Farm Supply and Windmill Nursery) where you can find a brochure display with information about less-toxic product alternatives to use on specific garden pests.
October: Pet waste can be a significant source of fecal coliform bacteria in urban watersheds. We need the help of pet owners to reduce bacteria contamination in our community. Let’s Close the Poop Loop (CTPL) by continuing to pick up after our dogs and toss the waste in the trash. Visit your City’s Stormwater Management webpage (Buellton or Solvang) and the Close the Poop Loop website to find out the Truth About Dog Poop.
The COS also worked with the Solvang Chamber of Commerce to re-establishing the publishing of the Stormwater and Water Conservation TOM within their E-Newsletter at least one time per month. Buellton Chamber of Commerce continues to publish the Stormwater and/or Water Conservation TOM within their monthly E-Newsletters.
3.1.1.6 Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) Campaign
3.1.1.6.1 Our Water Our World (OWOW) Campaign
During Year 9, the COS continued implementing the Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) OWOW Campaign and maintained the display racks within Valley Hardware which provide customers with fact sheets on specific pests. The campaign uses a point-of-purchase strategy to encourage stores to carry less-toxic products, and to educate staff and customers on how to choose and use eco-friendly pesticide products. The program provides current information on products and Integrated Pest Management techniques through training of store staff, and a series of fact sheets for the general public. The reduction of pesticide uses and the use of less-toxic products around the home can lead to a reduction of pollutants in run-off and local waterways as well as a healthier environment for the public.
The COS also conducted a review of OWOW’s New 2020 Less-Toxic Product List with assistance of Valley Hardware staff, The review resulted in an update to the store’s OWOW Product List and the installation of shelf-talkers for > 50 less-toxic products newly identified.
The number of education and outreach materials distributed at the Valley Hardware included:
214 Fact Sheets - 26 Less Toxic Products, 6 10 Most Wanted, 32 Ants (30 English and 2 Spanish), 15 Aphids, 7 Cockroaches, 11 Flees, 17 Healthy Gardens, 14 Lawn, 8 Mosquitos, 2 Pesticides, 3 HHW Facilities SBC, 26 Rats & Mice (25 English and 1 Spanish), 16 Roses, 8 Snails & Slugs, 8 Spiders, 10 Weeds, 5 Yellowjackets which was a 32% increase from the previous reporting year
In Year 10, the COS will continue to implement the CBSM OWOW Campaign with work with OWOW Partner stores to encourage them to take a more active role in identifying Eco-Friendly Products at the time of purchase; and to engage the City when Eco-Friendly Products ShelfTalkers are needed for new products or to replace damaged/missing Shelf-Talkers. In addition, Santa Barbara County’s OWOW Partner Stores will be visited by Plant Harmony and will receive training during the site visit.
Plant Harmony will also evaluate the location and needs of the OWOW materials, print ShelfTalkers as needed and install a laminated QR Code Poster on the display rack. The new QR Code Poster was created to allow for digital access to the fact sheets for pesticides and will be able to track which fact sheets that were viewed in the OWOW partner stores throughout California on a monthly basis.
3.1.1.6.2 Pet Waste Campaign
The COS continues to promote the CTPL Pet Waste Campaign on the City’s Stormwater Management webpage and through distribution of CTPL Dog Dispensers for Pet Waste and Stormwater Bookmarks at events and City Hall as well as through BMP Guides (Mobile Pet Groomer & Stylist, Pet Owners) and CTPL Postcards. The City will continue to promote the CTPL campaign through information that is posted at the SYVBG Information Kiosk Display Board and at the Solvang Public Library’s Stormwater Display Board; and offer free CTPL Dog Dispensers for Pet Waste at City Hall, and at designated events. During Year 9, the City restocked 35 CTPL Dog Dispensers for Pet Waste at City Hall and 43 CTPL Dog Dispensers for Pet Waste along with 23 CTPL Postcards were distributed at the Buellton BBQ Bonanza
3.1.1.7 IDDE Training
There were 24 City Staff (9 new and 14 existing), 1 Contract Staff that were provided IDDE Training. All new City Staff and Interns were provided a Quiz following the initial training. All existing City Staff were provided a Quiz that was used to access trained staff’s knowledge in the identification of an illicit discharge, proper reporting and response to the illicit discharge or illegal connection. Based on the completed quizzes received, the annual assessment of exiting City Staff demonstrates an increase in stormwater general awareness amongst staff as indicated by the average score of 98.5% correct which is a 4.5% increase from the previous year of 94%.
As a result, 5 of the 8 possible spills and/or illicit discharges reported were from City Staff; and the other 2 were from an external agency and/or public notification.
3.1.2 Public Involvement and Participation (CASQA Outcome Level 2-3)
3.1.2.1 Program Survey
During Year 9, the City continued to maintain an on-line Stormwater Management Program survey to assess the public’s knowledge on their Stormwater Management Program (SWMP).
Based on the lack of participation in the on-line survey received [Year 2 (10 Responses), Year 3 (6 Responses), Year 4 (2 Responses), Year 5 (0 Responses), Year 6 (0 Response), Year 7 0 Response), Year 8 (0 Responses) and Year 9 (1 Response)], the COS will continue to implement the alternative approach of promoting the on-line survey through direct interactions at an event and will continue to engage the residents and business through direct mailers to take the on-line survey.
Although the COS’s stormwater website on-line survey results showed a decline for Year 4-9, the City altered its approach of promoting the on-line survey through direct interactions at an event that resulted in an increase total participation for Year 4 (22 Responses), Year 5 (11 Responses) and Year 6 (14 Responses) , Year 7 (10 Responses COB and 10 Responses COS) Year 8 (No Events due to COVID-19 Outbreak) and Year 9 (16 Responses). In Year 10, the COS will continue to promote taking the stormwater survey on the City’s website and through direct mailers such as the City’s water bill insert.
3.1.2.2 Event Participation
The public did participate and visit the stormwater display booth at both the Buellton BBQ Bonanza and the State of the City event. The number of visitors and surveys completed were as follows: Buellton BBQ Bonanza (100 Visitors, 16 Surveys) and State of the City (5 Visitors, 0 Surveys). In Year 10, COS will also work together with Buellton to develop a new joint stormwater survey for the next Buellton BBQ Bonanza to promote and assess our respective stormwater programs.
3.1.2.3 Interested Parties Sign-up
The COS did not have any interested Parties Sign-up at an event or through the City’s Stormwater Management webpage but will continue to promote and encourage the public signup on-line and at events.
3.1.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (CASQA Outcome Level 4)
3.1.3.1 Legal Authority
The COS continued to implement its IDDE Program through SMC Title 14 Stormwater Management also known as the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the COS Stormwater Program Management Certification Statement which provides the COS full legal authority to implement and enforce each of the NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit requirements.
3.1.3.2 IDDE Procedures
The COS continues to implement a Spill Response Plan which provides guidance to City Staff responding to a complaint or notice of a spill, illicit discharge, or illegal connection; and investigating to locate and identify the source of a non-stormwater discharge.
3.1.3.3 IDDE Site Investigations/Inspections/Enforcement There were 2 out of 8 site investigations/complaints associated with potential or confirmed Nutrient related discharges during Year 9. As a result of these 2 nutrient related investigations/complaints, the COS issued 2 verbal warnings, 1 stormwater outreach), 1 written notices with both incidents were resolved/closed through the IDDE Program. The COS will continue to conduct stormwater education and outreach efforts whenever possible through direct integrations or through direct mail/media campaign.
3.1.4 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (CASQA Outcome Level 2-4)
3.1.4.1 Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) Inspections
The COS’s FOG Program continues to be managed by the Wastewater (WW) Division. The WW Division provides FOG control material to new FSE and existing businesses experiencing FOG problems, surveys are not part of their education and outreach program.
The COS has a low incident of FOG related SSO in the City’s commercial services areas. From
a collection system perspective, the FOG-control program is achieving the FOG-control’s number one goal of preventing main line blockage and spills. While additional data collection related to FOG-control is not discouraged it is also not a top priority for the collection system staff.
In Year 10, The COS will also continue to promote the on-line Solvang Restaurant Survey via the City’s website despite to have a lack of participation and will promote the survey through the City’s Water Bill Insert.
3.1.4.2 Green Waste Management
The COS continues to contract with a local waste hauler for management of green waste and coordinates/promotes green waste recycling in the community through the waste hauler.
3.1.4.3 Pet Waste Management
The COS continues to maintain 14 Mutt Mitt Stations at the following locations to help eliminate pet waste from entering our local waterways: 4 Hans Christian Andersen Park, 3 Sunny Fields Park, 2 Solvang Park, 1 Veterans Memorial Building, 2 Skytt Mesa residential area, 1 Parking Lot 4 and 1 Creekside residential area (open space). The COS Mutt Mitt Program purchased approximately 48,000 bags during Year 9 for the Bi-weekly Maintenance and refilling the Mutt Mitt Stations.
3.1.4.4 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Training The COS continues to provide Biennial Training as described within the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (CASQA Outcome Level 2-4) Section to ensure City Staff are incorporating pollution prevention/good housekeeping techniques into Permittee Operations.
During Year 9, the Maintenance Staff was scheduled to take the pollution prevention and good housekeeping training on June 29, 2022, but the refresher training had to be rescheduled; and it was completed on July 6, 2022.
3.1.5 Water Quality Monitoring (CASQA Outcome Level 5)
The COS continues to participate in the Santa Barbara County Public Works Department's regional water quality monitoring program. The draft Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan (titled Receiving Water Monitoring Plan) FY 2015-2018 was submitted to Region 3 Water Board on December 29, 2014. This plan included a regional monitoring approach for Cities of Buellton, Solvang, Carpinteria, Goleta and the County of Santa Barbara. The Quality Assurance Project Plan along with the updated Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan, revised to address comments from the CCRWQCB was submitted on October 13, 2015, through the SMARTS Database. On March 4, 2016, Santa Barbara County Project Clean Water received Executive Officer Approval for the revised Urban Stormwater Monitoring Plan (USWMP) and the Quality Assurance Plan (QAPP). Monitoring was initiated during Year 3 and results was reported as part of the Year 3 and subsequent Annual Reports.
The results of the USWMP provided a land use-based pollutant load prioritization and reduction model (LPRM) that was used to calculate wet weather loads produced in the monitoring area, prioritize catchments for BMP placement, and evaluate the performance of existing and future
BMPs. The monitoring data collected in Year 3 through the activities described in this Plan was used to inform the model, by providing site-specific land use pollutant concentration data. As described within the USWMP, the monitoring outfalls will be selected based on their drainage areas consisting of a more or less homogenous land use category. The first year of wet weather urban runoff was initiated in Year 3.
During Year 3, four storms were monitored at a total of 6 sites representing different land use types. Stormwater run-off was analyzed from 8 to 10 storms and the data was used to revise the event mean concentrations (EMCs) of the model to reflect local runoff concentrations in the modeling results that were reported in the regional 303(d) Monitoring Program FY 2015-2016.
The CCRWQCB issued Technical Report Order 13267 on June 13, 2016, that requires the submission of the following reports that document progress on key activities relating to completing spatially based stormwater volume and pollutant loading estimates; • Report #1: Catchment Delineation and Relevant Attributes that support catchment scale stormwater volume and pollutant loading analysis (Due Date: August 12, 2016); • Report #2: BMP Inventory for all Centralized and Decentralized BMPs within the City; Stormwater Volume and Pollutant Loading-Unmitigated Condition and Catchment RankingUnmitigated Condition for all catchments within the City (Due Date June 30, 2017); • Report #3: BMP Assessment for all BMPs using an effective approach for assessing structural BMP performance, estimate stormwater volume and pollutant load reduction based on the intended BMP function and current BMP condition based on the BMPs ability to function relative to intended design (Due Date: June 30, 2018; Revised Due Date:
October 15, 2018); and
• Report #4: Stormwater Program Modifications Fifth Year Report (Due Date: October 15, 2018).
On November 10, 2016, the CCRWQCB provided comments on how to refine the model approach to meet specific requirement listed in Technical Report Order 13267. The CCRWQCB approved the revised LPRM on July 18, 2017, which included the ability to determine the percent capture of the BMPs implemented based on the standard design attributes. The BMPs inventoried along with the results of the BMP Field Assessment will be uploaded to the LPRM and the new modeling results will be reported in the Technical Report Order 13267 Report #3.
The COS submitted the required Technical Order Reports #1-4 and continues to participate in the regional water quality monitoring program. The Cities will also continue to conduct annual Condition Assessment Observations for each BMP Inventoried in accordance with the Attachment B - BMP Condition Assessment Guidance to the LPR Model Technical Report.
Although water quality monitoring has continued since 2016, the COS sent a Notification Letter to the Central Coast RWQCB on February 4, 2021, regarding the need for temporary adjustment to their Stormwater Program due to COVID-19 directives and related to safety incident involving a sampler. The COS and partner agencies considered these concerns along with the risk involved throughout the sampling procedure to make the decision to postpone any further sampling under the 303(d) sampling program until next season. In lieu of sampling that would have been conducted during Year 8, the COS committed the equivalent amount of funds approximately $1,166* to cleanup/abatement of sediment accumulation impacting Outfall 20 and
21. Following the submittal of the notification letter, the COS allocated additional funds to cleanup/abatement of sediment accumulation impacting Outfall 19.
Note: * = Correction. The cost of Sampling 3 Events is approximately $2,300/year (total~7,000 spilt amongst partners with County taking 2 portions). The Amount of Equivalent Funds for COS to allocate toward cleanup/abatement is $1,166/year.
Although contracts were executed on May 6, 2021, at a cost of $3,900 for Outfall 20 and 21; and $3,700 for Outfall 19 for a total of $7,600 which exceeded original allocated funds, the work was scheduled in July due to the additional budgetary constraints. The cleanup/abatement work for Outfall 19 was completed by July 16, 2021, with the removal of 1 cubic yard of sediment; and has a tentative date of October 30, 2021, date for needed repair of outfall pipe.
During Year 9, the cleanup/abatement work for Outfall 20 and 21 was completed on August 25, 2021, with the estimated removal of 5 cubic yards of sediment. The Outfall 19 pipe repair was completed on November 19, 2021. In addition, the COS was able to conduct sampling at the low residential site location during the October 25, 2021, rain event. Based on review of 3 years’ worth of data, it was determined that the low density residential site in Solvang would not need to be sampled as part of the 303(d) sampling program during the December 13, 2021, storm event due to having sufficient data for this land use type. As a member of the regional monitoring program, COS will be working with the Santa Barbara County Project Clean Water and monitoring partners to determine a new multi-family or high density residential sampling location in order to develop a fuller data set for the LPR model in Year 10.
3.2 SEDIMENTATION / SILTATION (Total Suspended Solids)
3.2.1 Education and Outreach (CASQA Outcome Level 2-3)
3.2.1.1 Brochure Distribution
The number of education and outreach materials distributed through stormwater brochure displays at the City facilities (City Hall, Planning Department and Parks and Recreation) related to Sediment include: 3 Construction Industry’s Guide to BMPs and 4 Prevent Soil Erosion on Your Property – A Homeowner’s Guide to Erosion Control.
The COS continues to issue the Construction Industry’s Guide to BMPs during interactions with applicants that visit the Planning Department. In Year 10, the COS will continue to distribute educational materials to construction site operators during initial interactions in the field.
3.2.1.2 Website File Views/Hits
Note: The Website File Views/Hits/Downloads data reported below is from the period July 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021. The City’s Civic Plus platform was changed on January 1, 2022, resulting in data gaps for the File Views/Hits/Downloads counts. The City will be developing a new google analytic report to obtain the data from January 1, 2022, to present and will update the PEAIP Annual Report FY 2021-2022 when the data becomes available.
The COS’s website received 256 File Views/Hits/Downloads on the following Sediment related BMP Guides/Posters/Brochures: 126 Construction Industry’s Guide to BMPs (64 English and 62
Spanish), 65 Prevent Soil Erosion on Your Property – A Homeowner’s Guide to Erosion Control, 65 EPA’s Stormwater and the Construction Industry Poster.
The COS also provides weblinks to additional resources on the City’s website to the Santa Barbara County Project Clean Water and California Stormwater Quality Association.
3.2.1.3 Construction Outreach
The COS maintained connections to construction contractors through inspections which occur prior to land disturbance (prior to rainy season) to ensure BMPs have been installed and at a minimum monthly during active construction and following active construction to ensure the construction contractors are informed of proper erosion and sediment control measures. On July 28, 2021, the City forward a copy of the Monterey Regional Stormwater Management Program’s (MRSWMP) Free Virtual Post-Construction Requirements Workshop to be held on August 12, 2021, to 36 developers and project design teams that are known to work within the City of Solvang. The MRSWMP used Santa Barbara County’s Stormwater Technical Guide as a template, so it was a good opportunity to review similar sections of the guide.
In Year 10, the COS will continue to forward training/workshop information to construction site operators when opportunities become available.
3.2.1.4 Permittee Staff Training
There was 1 Contract Staff was provided Permittee Staff Training which covered topics such as:
construction stormwater awareness, stormwater outreach materials (Construction Industry’s Guide to BMP and Stormwater and the Construction Industry Poster), Construction Site Inventory and PCR Tracking Log, Erosion and Sediment Control Review Plan Checklist, Stormwater Control Plan Review Checklist, Construction Site Stormwater Compliance Inspection Checklist, the Post-Construction Resolution and the Santa Barbara County Stormwater Technical Guide.
3.2.2 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (CASQA Outcome Level 4)
3.2.2.1 Legal Authority
The COS continued to implement its IDDE Program through SMC Title 14 Stormwater Management also known as the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the COS Stormwater Program Management Certification Statement which provides the COS full legal authority to implement and enforce each of the NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit requirements.
3.2.2.2 IDDE Procedures
The COS continues to implement a Spill Response Plan which provides guidance to City Staff responding to a complaint or notice of a spill, illicit discharge, or illegal connection; and investigating to locate and identify the source of a non-stormwater discharge.
3.2.3.3 IDDE Site Investigations/Inspections/Enforcement There were no site investigations associated with sediment related discharges from construction projects in Year 9. As part of the Stormwater Management Program, the COS continues to work with construction contractors, residents, and businesses to resolve any corrective actions and/or discrepancies found during the inspection and through receipt of a notification or complaint.
3.2.3 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control (Outcome Level 2-3)
3.2.3.1 Permit Issuance/Plan Approvals
During Year 9, the COS issued 1 new construction site grading permit for a project that required an E&SCP and a Stormwater Control Plan (SWCP) but not a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). In total, the COS approved 1 Erosion & Sediment Control Plan and 3 Stormwater Control Plans.
3.2.3.2 Construction Site Inspections/Enforcement
The COS inspected 5 construction sites monthly during Active Construction. One (1) of the 5 construction sites transitioned from an active construction inspection to a following active construction inspection and will continued to be inspected monthly until such time the project is deemed closed. The project status of the 7 construction sites are as follows: On-Hold (PendingNo Soil Disturbance)-1, Active Construction-4, and Closed-2. In total, the COS conducted 2 Prior to Land Disturbance (during rainy season) Inspections, 46 Active Construction Inspections, 6 Following Active Construction Inspection.
In Year 10, the COS will continue to monitor the erosion and sediment control measures at each construction site and continue to work with construction contractors to resolve any corrective actions and/or discrepancies found during the inspection. The City also continue to send NOAA Hourly Weather updates when rainfall estimates are 0.5 inches or greater to encourage inspection of the construction sites and install/repair/replace erosion and sediment control BMPs or other temporary BMPs as needed to secure the site prior to rain.
3.2.4 Post-Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control (CASQA Outcome Level 2-3) During Year 9, six (6) out of 7 construction sites received discretionary/ministerial approval after March 6, 2014. Five (5) of the 7 construction projects required to develop a SWCP to comply with PCR Measures;1 construction project approval predates the PCRs; and 1 construction project is considered unregulated per PCRs section B.1.a as it was too small (less than 2,500 SF) . All 7 construction sites have or will be implementing LID measures.
3.2.5 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (CASQA Outcome Level 2-3)
3.2.5.1 Street Sweeping
During Year 9, the COS Street Sweeping Maintenance Contractor continued to conduct Street Sweeping Activities on all municipal streets (residential and arterial city streets) bi-monthly, downtown village area once per month, alleys downtown every month, and Hans Christian Andersen Park and Sunny Fields Park quarterly. By conducting street sweeping activities on a
regular basis, the COS minimizes sediment and other pollutants from the entering the storm drain conveyance system.
3.2.5.2 Storm Drain Assessing & Prioritizing Maintenance Activities The COS continued the implementation of the Storm Drain System SOP for Assessing & Prioritizing Maintenance Activities to comply with all required program elements of the NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit. The COS has over 360 drainage structures (including approximately 209 catch basins, 10 drop inlets, 29 inlets, 22 outfalls, 1 detention basin, etc.) that are routinely inspected and managed by City staff. It is cost prohibitive to inspect every linear foot of the City’s large storm drain system on a short-term schedule. For this reason, the City uses a planning approach to focus inspection of approximately 75 catch basin, inlet, drain structures deemed high priority for inspection based on the geographical location within a priority land use area. The City used the GIS database to develop the method for prioritizing and assessing the inventory and will continue with the assessment method as outlined within the Storm Drain System SOP.
During Year 9, the COS was able to perform any storm drain inspections of the high priority catch basins but was not able to remove trash and debris from all of the high priority facilities that were identified due to staffing constraints as result of reduced manpower, internal reorganization, staffing level reductions and limited availabity of properly trained staff that was confined staff training or could operate the vactor truck. The City was able to clean high priority areas that did not require vactor truck or confined space entry restrictions.
The City was able to complete the cleanup/abatement work for Outfall 20 and 21 with the estimated removal of 5 cubic yards of sediment; and the Outfall 19 pipe repair. In August/September of Year 10, the COS is planning to resume inspections and maintenance all catch basin, inlet and drainage structures deemed a high priority within the priority land use area.
3.2.5.3 Hotspot Inspections
The COS does not have any “Confirmed” or “Severe” Hotspot” that required quarterly inspections. During Year 9, the COS performed annual inspections on 2 locations that are deemed “Potential” Hotspots – (1) Municipal Annex Building/Maintenance Shop; and (2) Corporate Yard. All observations from facility assessments were recorded on Hotspot Site Investigation Forms that were completed in accordance with the Center for Watershed Protection’s Restoration Manual Series guide on Urban Subwatershed and Site Reconnaissance: A User’s Manual. Observations included any potential and observed pollution sources from vehicle operations, outdoor materials, waste management, and physical plant (including building maintenance, parking lots, downspouts, onsite construction activities), turf/landscaping areas and storm water infrastructure at these facilities.
3.2.6 Water Quality Monitoring (CASQA Outcome Level 5)
The COS continues to participate in the Santa Barbara County Public Works Department's regional water quality monitoring program. The draft Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan (titled Receiving Water Monitoring Plan) FY 2015-2018 was submitted to Region 3 Water Board on December 29, 2014. This plan included a regional monitoring approach for Cities of Buellton, Solvang, Carpinteria, Goleta and the County of Santa Barbara. The Quality Assurance Project
Plan along with the updated Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan, revised to address comments from the CCRWQCB was submitted on October 13, 2015, through the SMARTS Database. On March 4, 2016, Santa Barbara County Project Clean Water received Executive Officer Approval for the revised Urban Stormwater Monitoring Plan (USWMP) and the Quality Assurance Plan (QAPP). Monitoring was initiated during Year 3 and results was reported as part of the Year 3 and subsequent Annual Reports.
The results of the USWMP provided a land use-based prioritization and reduction (LPRM) model that was used to calculate wet weather loads produced in the monitoring area, prioritize catchments for BMP placement, and evaluate the performance of existing and future BMPs. The Plan was used to inform the model, by providing site-specific land use pollutant concentration data. As described within the USWMP, the monitoring outfalls were selected based on their drainage areas consisting of a more or less homogenous land use category. The first year of wet weather urban runoff was initiated in Year 3.
During Year 3, four storms were monitored at a total of 6 sites representing different land use types. Stormwater run-off was analyzed from 8 to 10 storms and the data was used to revise the event mean concentrations (EMCs) of the model to reflect local runoff concentrations in the modeling results that were reported in the regional 303(d) Monitoring Program Results FY 2015- 2016.
The CCRWQCB issued Technical Report Order 13267 on June 13, 2016, that requires the submission of the following reports that document progress on key activities relating to completing spatially based stormwater volume and pollutant loading estimates; • Report #1: Catchment Delineation and Relevant Attributes that support catchment scale stormwater volume and pollutant loading analysis (Due Date: August 12, 2016); • Report #2: BMP Inventory for all Centralized and Decentralized BMPs within the City; Stormwater Volume and Pollutant Loading-Unmitigated Condition and Catchment RankingUnmitigated Condition for all catchments within the City (Due Date June 30, 2017); • Report #3: BMP Assessment for all BMPs using an effective approach for assessing structural BMP performance, estimate stormwater volume and pollutant load reduction based on the intended BMP function and current BMP condition based on the BMPs ability to function relative to intended design (Due Date: June 30, 2018; Revised Due Date:
October 15, 2018); and
• Report #4: Stormwater Program Modifications Fifth Year Report (Due Date: October 15, 2018).
On November 10, 2016, the CCRWQCB provided comments on how to refine the model approach to meet specific requirement listed in Technical Report Order 13267. The CCRWQCB approved the revised LPRM on July 18, 2017, which included the ability to determine the percent capture of the BMPs implemented based on the standard design attributes. The BMPs inventoried along with the results of the BMP Field Assessment will be uploaded to the LPRM and the new modeling results will be reported along Technical Report Order 13267 Report #3.
The COS submitted the required Technical Order Reports #1-4 and continues to participate in the regional water quality monitoring program. The Cities will also continue to conduct annual Condition Assessment Observations for each BMP Inventoried in accordance with the Attachment B - BMP Condition Assessment Guidance to the LPR Model Technical Report.
Although water quality monitoring has continued since 2016, , the COS sent a Notification Letter to the Central Coast RWQCB on February 4, 2021, regarding the need for temporary adjustment to their Stormwater Program due to COVID-19 directives and related to safety incident involving a sampler. The COS and partner agencies considered these concerns along with the risk involved throughout the sampling procedure to make the decision to postpone any further sampling under the 303(d) sampling program until next season. In lieu of sampling that would have been conducted during Year 8, the COS committed the equivalent amount of funds approximately $1,166* to cleanup/abatement of sediment accumulation impacting Outfall 20 and
21. Following the submittal of the notification letter, the COS allocated additional funds to cleanup/abatement of sediment accumulation impacting Outfall 19.
Note: * = Correction. The cost of Sampling 3 Events is approximately $2,300/year (total~7,000 spilt amongst partners with County taking 2 portions). The Amount of Equivalent Funds for COS to allocate toward cleanup/abatement is $1,166/year.
Although contracts were executed on May 6, 2021, at a cost of $3,900 for Outfall 20 and 21; and $3,700 for Outfall 19 for a total of $7,600 which exceeded original allocated funds, the work was scheduled in July due to the additional budgetary constraints. The cleanup/abatement work for Outfall 19 was completed by July 16, 2021, with the removal of 1 cubic yard of sediment; and has a tentative date of October 30, 2021, for needed repair of outfall pipe.
During Year 9, the cleanup/abatement work for Outfall 20 and 21 was completed on August 25, 2021, with the estimated removal of 5 cubic yards of sediment. The Outfall 19 pipe repair was completed on November 19, 2021. In addition, the COS was able to conduct sampling at the low residential site location during the October 25, 2021, rain event. Based on review of 3 years’ worth of data, it was determined that the low density residential site in Solvang would not need to be sampled as part of the 303(d) sampling program during the December 13, 2021, storm event due to having sufficient data for this land use type. As a member of the regional monitoring program, COS will be working with the Santa Barbara County Project Clean Water and monitoring partners to determine a new multi-family or high density residential sampling location in order to develop a fuller data set for the LPR model in Year 10.
4.0 SHORT- AND LONG-TERM PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS
During Year 9, the COS was determined to maintain its two short term goals: (1) Comply with the NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit requirements and to fully implement the SOPs developed during this permit term to minimize the identified high- and medium-priority POCs from entering the Storm Drain System; and (2) Continue its education and outreach efforts and to collect and track program data that will be used to modify and improve the City’s Storm Water Management Program.
The COS maintain its long-term goal of the effectiveness assessment program to reduce pollutants from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable. By applying BMPs that are effective in reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants to the waters of the U.S. Through the emphasis of pollutant reduction and source control BMPs to prevent pollutants from entering storm water run-off. The COS recognizes that this is a dynamic process and may require changes over time as we gain experience and as new science and technologies become available.

Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 4 1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP) Annual Summary evaluates the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) implemented in the 2021-2022 reporting year (Year 9) by the City of Buellton (City) to meet the requirements of its Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) Guidance Document (approved in 2014 and modified in reporting Year 5, 2019), and the Small MS4 General Permit WQ Order 2013-0001-DWQ as amended by Orders WQ 2015-0133-EXEC, WQ 2016-0069-EXEC, WQ 2018-0001- EXEC, and WQ 2018-0007-EXEC (Small MS4 Permit). The Small SM4 Permit requires the City to implement its Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP, City of Buellton 2016), which describes how the City will track short- and long-term effectiveness of the Stormwater Program. The PEAIP defines the approach the City will use to adaptively manage the Program to improve its ability to reduce the identified high- and medium-priority pollutants of concern (POCs)—nutrients and sedimentation/siltation (total suspended solids)— thereby achieving the maximum extent practicable (MEP) standard and protecting water quality.
Per the Small MS4 Permit, the PEAIP was developed using the most recent California Stormwater Quality Association’s (CASQA’s) effectiveness assessment guidance, which is the Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP) Framework (2015). The City’s PEIAP meets the requirements of the Small MS4 Permit. It discusses six Outcome Levels in which the BMPs are intended to achieve. The City’s Stormwater Program BMPs primarily achieve Outcome Level 2, Barriers and Bridges to Action, and Outcome Level 3, Target Audience Actions, and to some extent, Outcome Level 4, Source Contributions and Outcome Level 5, Urban Runoff and MS4 Contributions. The City documented within the PEAIP management questions for high- and medium-priority POCs and conducted a source assessment for each POC. The data collected was then used to improve the Stormwater Program. Target audiences for each source of high- and medium-priority POC and prioritized BMP for POC were determined based on:
• Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) proposed by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central Coast Water Board);
• 2010 303(d) List of Impaired Waterbodies;
• Central Coast Water Board’s consultation handout Solvang–Buellton Urban Water Quality Profile (2014); • Central Coast Ambient Monitoring Program’s Ambient Water Quality Data; • SWMP Guidance Document’s List of POCs;
• Proposed Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan 2015-2018 (County of Santa Barbara et al 2015, revised 2016); and
• Best professional judgment and knowledge of local and/or regional water quality issues and common urban pollutants.
The prioritized BMPs reflect Stormwater Program activities to change behaviors of target audiences and result in POC reduction. The prioritized BMPs, listed in Figure 8 of the PEAIP, Prioritized BMPs Identified for Target Audiences (see Figure 1), are being implemented as part of Stormwater Program. Applicable data was collected and analyzed for each BMP at the close of Permit Year 8 (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021) in order to assess program effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement. This report summarizes implementation of the City’s Stormwater Program for Year 8 and its effectiveness pursuant to the PEAIP (City of Buellton 2016). As stated in the PEAIP, stormwater programs are inherently complex due to the variety of possible pollutant sources (e.g., construction, industrial, commercial, residential, new development, etc.), limited ability to directly control the behaviors of target audiences, extensive geographic coverage of the programs, comingling of flows within the drainage system, and the potential impacts to water quality from non-municipal stormwater sources (e.g., windblown materials, groundwater seepage, aerial deposition, etc.). Additionally, the ability to determine whether target audiences have been reached; are understanding and retaining information provided by the Program; and are changing behavior, is very difficult to measure. Therefore, the PEAIP is focused on the Stormwater Program’s impact, rather than the strict implementation of the Program to allow the City to gauge whether the Program is achieving the intended outcomes and reaching the target audiences and identify necessary modifications to the Program to make it more effective.

Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 6 2.0 PROGRAM ASSESSMENT METHODS
As stated above, the City BMPs are largely intended to achieve Outcome Level 2, Barriers and Bridges to Action, and Outcome Level 3, Target Audience Actions. Per the PEAIP, Outcome Level 3 focuses on identifying target audiences associated with the primary sources of high- and medium priority POCs, as well as the behavioral patterns of these target audiences, with the goal of assessing behavior change over time. Outcome Level 2 focuses on identifying the factors that influence target audience behaviors and using these factors to bring awareness of the need to reduce pollutant-generating activities and implement prioritized BMPs. Level 2 Outcomes are often used to gauge progress in, or to refine approaches for, achieving Level 3 Outcomes. Target audiences are the individuals and populations that a stormwater program is directed to and may include, but are not limited to, municipal employees, contractors, and the general public. Since source reductions can only be achieved by the people responsible for pollutant loadings, a successful program will be one that is able to induce positive behavioral changes in the target audiences.
The City also focuses BMPs to achieve Urban Runoff and MS4 Contributions (i.e., CASQA Outcome Level 5) and associated Source Contributions (i.e., CASQA Outcome Level 4) for high- and medium-priority POCs. Level 5 Outcomes provide a direct measure of the City’s contributions to downstream receiving waters; thus, it is a good gauge of stormwater program effectiveness over time. It can also be used to inform a better understanding of source contributions pursuant to Outcome Level 4. However, due to the temporal and spatial variability of water quality data, a significant amount of data is needed to establish linkages between pollutants in MS4 discharges and the conditions within the receiving waters. Additionally, the City population is relatively small—approximately 5,000 people—and the City’s urbanized footprint comprises a very small proportion of the watershed.
The City participates in a regional 303(d) water quality monitoring program with partner MS4s, including the County of Santa Barbara. The goal of the monitoring program is to “characterize pollutant concentrations and loads from representative MS4 discharge locations within the County” and subsequently refine the pollutant loading information within the land use-based prioritization and reduction model (LPRM). Over time, the calibrated and refined LPRM will be used by the City to assess the impact of BMPs on sub-watersheds; compare pollutant loading between sub-watersheds; and better tailor future BMPs by focusing on areas of potentially higher pollutant load.
This PEAIP is organized by high-and medium-priority POCs—nutrients and sedimentation/siltation—and the assessment was conducted according to the management questions, data collection, and data assessment methods outlined within Table 5 and 6 of the PEAIP (see Tables 1 and 2). The data assessment for each POC consisted primarily of a qualitative assessment and/or uses of descriptive statistics. Data collection methods included internal tracking by the City, review of external data sources, interviews/surveys, and site investigations/inspections.

Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 10 3.0 PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSEMENT FINDINGS
3.1 NUTRIENTS
3.1.1 Education and Outreach (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3) The City’s Education and Outreach Strategy has been designed to reach a large audience within the community.
The program’s goal is to inform the local community of the impacts of stormwater pollution on the water quality and ecology of local water bodies and the steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater, as well as how they can become involved in restoration activities. The strategy involves: (1) implementing the regional community-based social marketing (CBSM) campaign, Close the Poop Loop (CTPL) targeted at increasing the cleanup and disposal of pet waste to reduce the amount of nutrients, bacteria, and pathogen loading to stormwater; (2) conducting surveys or quizzes to assess knowledge of applicable stormwater issues and solutions; (3) providing informative materials (i.e., printed brochures and flyers, posters in heavily trafficked areas, utility bill inserts, City website and social media pages, and community involvement emails) to target audiences to increase awareness of relevant stormwater issues and BMPs; (4) utilizing public input in developing outreach through event participation; (5) providing water efficient/pesticide and fertilizer application/stormwater brochures within each City office and website; (6) promoting detecting and reporting illicit discharges and illegal connections; (8) providing stormwater pollution prevention educational material to school children; and (9) outreach encouraging reduction of discharges from organized car washes, mobile cleaning, and pressure washing activities.
3.1.1.1 Print Media
Brochures and flyers were made available to the public in displays the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden (SYVBG), Windmill Nursery, Farm Supply, City Hall, and the City Planning Department. The brochures that were stocked at the SYVBG included A Gardener’s Guide to Clean Water (36 copies taken), How to be Water Wise in your Garden (42 copies taken), The Ocean Begins on Your Street (in English [35 copies taken] and Spanish [21 copies taken]), and the Recognizing and Reporting Stormwater Pollution pocket guide (31 copies taken).
Additionally, a variety of stormwater posters were displayed in the garden’s kiosk throughout the year. The City has educational information available in stormwater brochure displays at City Hall and the City Planning Department. These brochures include A Gardener’s Guide to Clean Water, How to be Water Wise in your Garden, Preventing Soil Erosion on Your Property, A Homeowner’s Guide to BMPs, The Ocean Begins on your Street (in English and Spanish), and the Recognizing and Reporting Stormwater Pollution pocket guide. The Recognizing and Reporting Stormwater Pollution pocket guide is also retained in all City fleet vehicles.
3.1.1.2 Our Water, Our World Campaign
The materials made available at Windmill Nursery and Farm Supply promote the Our Water, Our World campaign. The campaign uses a point-of-purchase strategy to encourage stores to carry less-toxic products, and to educate staff and customers on how to select and use eco-friendly pesticide products. The program provides current information on products and Integrated Pest Management techniques through training of store staff, fact sheets, and “Eco-Friendly Effective” shelf tags denoting the products in each store that present a reduced risk of stormwater pollution. The reduction of pesticide uses and the increased use of less-toxic products around the home can lead to a reduction of pollutants in run-off and local waterways, as well as a healthier environment for the public. The campaign uses fact sheets about eco-friendly pest control for: ants (in English and Spanish), aphids, cockroaches, fleas, mosquitoes, rats and mice (in English and Spanish), snails and slugs, spiders, and yellowjackets, as well as facts sheets about less toxic products for healthy gardens, lawns, pesticides (in English and Spanish), roses, and weeds. The displays at these locations also include lists of household hazardous waste disposal facilities in Santa Barbara County.
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 11 3.1.1.3 Stormwater Management Website
The City posts educational materials tailored to the POCs (nutrients and sediment) on its Stormwater Management website, including brochures such as the Santa Barbara County Creek Care Guide, Project Clean Water’s Creekside Concerns: Out of Sight, Out of Mind?, and Our Water Our World’s Use and Disposal of Pesticides fact sheet. The City also provides weblinks on its website to additional resources including the Project Clean Water, Our Water Our World, LessisMore.org, and WaterWiseSB.org. The City’s Stormwater Management webpage had consistent public interaction, with a total of 203 views throughout the reporting year.
Two online surveys (one for residents and one for restaurants) are available on the City’s stormwater webpage, which consist of questions designed to assess the respondents’ knowledge of the Stormwater Program. The webpage format was updated to make the survey more apparent in this reporting year, but despite this and the City’s promotion of the survey during community events and restaurant inspections, survey response has been low:
• Year 2: 4 responses
• Year 3: 5 responses
• Year 4: 2 responses
• Year 5: 1 response
• Year 6: 5 responses
• Year 7: 1 response
• Year 8: 0 responses
• Year 9: 1 response
The City will continue to promote the surveys and will assess whether changes to the website are needed to highlight the surveys in Year 10.
3.1.1.4 Outreach During FOG and IWD Inspections
The City continued to distribute education and outreach materials related to nutrient pollution during Fats, Oil, and Grease and Industrial Waste Discharge inspections (Guide for Kitchen BMPs, Restaurant’s Guide to BMPs; Beverage Manufacturing and Stormwater Automotive Guide to BMPs, and Mobile Cleaner’s Guide to BMPs).
3.1.1.5 Stormwater Hotline
During the 2021-2022 reporting year, the City continued to promote the use of its Stormwater Hotline on its website and printed materials including the Recognizing and Reporting Stormwater Pollution pocket guide. The City also promotes its Stormwater hotline within the articles and tips distributed through its Direct Mail-Media Campaign. Although the hotline, as well as a stormwater email account, are readily available to the public, they received no inquiries in Year 10.
3.1.1.6 Children’s Education
During Year 9, the City coordinated with partner municipalities to obtain virtual assembly videos on water science, called “Shows that Teach”. The City coordinated distribution to Oak Valley Elementary School, and two virtual assemblies were held, one for kindergarten through second-grade students and one for third through fifth-grade students, on March 7, 2022. A total of 300 Oak Valley students attended the virtual presentations. The videos were used at elementary schools throughout the County and received positive feedback from teachers and principals at multiple schools.
3.1.2 Public Involvement and Participation (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3) During the 2021-2022 reporting year, the City’s Stormwater Management Program staffed educational booths at three events. The annual Buellton BBQ Bonanza was held on July 31, 2021, with approximately 1,000 people in attendance. Stormwater Management Program personnel hosted a booth with educational displays, promotional items, and an electronic stormwater quiz. Community members who visited the booth were able to take the quiz
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 12 to assess their knowledge of stormwater issues and the local management program and take educational brochures and promotional items, including dog waste bag dispensers and City stormwater program reusable tote bags. Stormwater Management Program representatives also attended the College and Career Fair at Santa Ynez Valley Union High School on April 27, 2022. The Stormwater table included the same educational displays and brochures containing stormwater pollution prevention information. Staff discussed the goals of the City’s stormwater management program with students that visited the booth as well as City-specific BMPs and steps that residents can take to prevent stormwater pollution. Approximately 200 students attended this event. The Buellton Chamber of Commerce held the Buellton State of the City event on May 25, 2022. Approximately 80 people attended the event, including local business owners, law enforcement, City employees, and elected City Council members. The City of Buellton SWMP representatives discussed common stormwater problems, Buellton priority pollutants, and relevant stormwater BMPs with the attendees. The Stormwater table featured the City’s educational display board, educational brochures, and an interested parties list where residents can sign up to receive additional stormwater educational information and event opportunities.
3.1.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (CASQA Outcome Level 4)
3.1.3.1 Legal Authority
The City implements its Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program under Buellton Municipal Code Title 15 Stormwater Chapter 15.01 Stormwater Management and Discharge Control, as revised by Ordinance 20- 08 (Ordinance) and the City’s Stormwater Program Management Certification Statement, which provides the City full legal authority to implement and enforce the Small MS4 Permit requirements and City Municipal Code.
3.1.3.2 IDDE Procedures
The City implemented its Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) (City of Buellton, 2016 updated 2021) and Spill Response Plan (SRP) (City of Buellton 2016, updated 2021). The ERP and SRP provide guidance to City staff and contractors responding to a complaint or notice of a spill, illegal discharge, or illicit connection. Applicable City staff and contractors were provided IDDE staff and pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations training (29 total trainees). The training is designed to maintain stormwater general awareness of staff and contractors and encourage the reporting of possible illicit discharges or illegal connections. The test of understanding conducted after the training displayed high levels of knowledge retention, with the average test score among trainees being 90%.
3.1.3.3 IDDE Detection, Elimination, and Reporting
During Year 9, three potential illicit discharges or illegal connections were reported and were investigated by City staff and/or its contractors. One of the three investigated reports were determined to have resulted in an illicit discharge.
• The single incident was observed on September 10, 2021. The discharge consisted of wash water from a winery drainage area flowing to the City’s MS4. The City’s contractor contacted facility personnel cease the discharge and clean up the spill. Winery staff provided photos verifying the cleanup and cessation of discharges the next business day. Reporting procedures per the SRP were completed.
The two other potential illicit discharges were reported by Buellton residents to the City’s stormwater contractor.
The contractor followed up with an inspection at each location. Both reported incidents were found not to be illicit discharges. Reporting per the SRP was completed.
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 13 3.1.4 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (CASQA Outcome Levels 2-4)
3.1.4.1 FOG and IWD Inspections
The City’s contractor conducted 43 FOG and 39 IWD inspections during the reporting year. The City contractors initiated an annual survey during their FOG and IWD inspections beginning Year 2 (11 FOG questionnaires) and have continued inspections in Year 3 (27 FOG and 11 IWD questionnaires), Year 4 (65 FOG and 22 IWD questionnaires), Year 5 (40 FOG and 26 IWD questionnaires), Year 6 (88 FOG and 40 IWD inspections forms, Year 7 (63 FOG and 44 IWD questionnaires), Year 8 (71 FOG and 44 IWD questionnaires), Year 9 (43 FOG and 39 IWD questionnaires). The questionnaires asked the respondents: (1) Are you familiar with the City of Buellton's Storm Water Program?; (2) Are you aware of the storm water requirements for your type of business activity?; and (3) Do you believe your business is in compliance with the City's Storm Water Program? The inspection forms completed during FOG and IWD inspections showed 100% of businesses were familiar with the City’s Stormwater Management Program, aware of their business activities impact to stormwater, and believe their business complied with the City’s Stormwater Management Program. The City Stormwater Program Coordinator reviewed all FOG and IWD inspection reports for non-stormwater discharges.
The City’s online Restaurant Survey (available on the Stormwater Management website) was promoted during facility inspections; however, only one respondent completed the survey (with a score of 100%).
3.1.4.2 Target Audience-Specific BMP Guides
During Year 9, the City and its co-permittee, the City of Solvang, created two new BMP Guides: Pet Owner’s Guide to BMPs and Animal Care and Handling Facility’s Guide to BMPs, for animal owners and handlers in the community and assisted the County of Santa Barbara with updating their A Guide to Composting Horse Manure.
These guides are available on the City’s Stormwater Management website. The Cities also submitted an article to the Santa Ynez Valley News to promote the new guides.
3.1.4.3 Green Waste Management Campaign
The City continues to contract with a local waste hauler (MarBorg) for management of green waste. The City also coordinates and promotes the annual Christmas Treecycle Program through the Chamber of Commerce ENewsletter, Buellton Buzz (water bill Insert) and both the City and MarBorg websites. This program allows residents to drop off their trees until the second week in January for mulching and reuse within the community.
3.1.4.4 Pet Waste Management Campaign
The City maintains 14 Mutt Mitt stations within the City (five at River View Park, three at Oak Valley Park, four at PAWS Dog Park, one on Via Corona (on the school fence), and one at Neighborhood Village Park. Four Mutt Mitt stations are maintained by the Buellton Veterinary Clinic (one on the north and one on the south side of Highway 246, near the intersection with Sycamore Drive; and one on the north and one on the south side of Highway 246, near the intersection with Valley Dairy Road). The Mutt Mitt Program’s efforts have helped reduce the amount of pet waste discarded at these locations.
The City continues to promote the CTPL pet waste management campaign on the City’s website and through its direct mailers/media campaign via articles in the bimonthly Buellton Buzz water bill insert. The City also distributed CTPL outreach materials like flyers and doggy bag dispensers at community events to promote the proper cleanup and disposal of pet waste amongst residents. In the 2020-2021 reporting year, the City initiated a pilot program to focus on additional advertising of the CTPL campaign via an installation of CTPL posters along Via Corona at Oak Valley Elementary, which has heavy dog-walker traffic. Mutt Mitt stations are available at this location, as well as at the adjacent Oak Pak that also has trash cans for disposing of waste. Despite these conveniences, dog waste is often left along the strip of grass between the school and Via Corona. Ten 30-inch signs displaying the various CTPL dogs were installed at intervals along the fence line at Via Corona with the goal of bringing awareness and changing behavior (i.e., reducing the amount of pet waste left in this area). The
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 14 estimated quantity of pet waste left in this area has been monitored and recorded at monthly intervals to evaluate the effectiveness of the posters. To date, a significant reduction in waste has not been observed; however, the City will continue to monitor this location and assess additional means of reaching this target audience.
3.1.5 Water Quality Monitoring (CASQA Outcome Level 5)
The City participates in a regional water quality monitoring program, 303(d) Monitoring Program, with the Cities of Solvang, Carpinteria, Goleta and Unincorporated Santa Barbara County, which is described in the draft Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan 2015–2018 for the NPDES Phase II Small MS4 General Permit Sections E.13.c 303(d) Monitoring and E.14.a Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (County of Santa Barbara et al 2015, revised 2016) and its Quality Assurance Project Plan for Urban Storm Water Monitoring Plan 2015-2018 (County of Santa Barbara et al 2015, revised 2016. The program is intended to address Permit Section E.14.a. PEAIP requirements by applying the results of the wet weather monitoring from representative urban land use sites to the pollutant Load, Prioritization, Reduction (LPR) Model. The first three years of sampling data were analyzed and summarized in the Urban Stormwater Monitoring Report (Geosyntec 2018). Per the County of Santa Barbara’s 303(d) Monitoring Results 2021-2022 summary memorandum (see attachment to the 2021-2022 MS4 Annual Report), recommendations from the report that were implemented in the 2020-2021 sampling year are:
• Continue monitoring to create a sufficiently robust dataset in order to determine whether mean concentration values used in the LPR Model should be replaced; • Discontinue pesticides that were not detected in the first three years of the program: carbamates and urea pesticides, diuron and degradates, and neonicotinoids; and • Discontinue toxicity because there was no statistically significant correlation found between toxicity and the measured constituents that would cause toxicity (i.e., pesticides, metals, and nutrient detections) since without correlation, the data do not provide substantial insight into the characterization of storm water discharges or otherwise inform management decisions.
The City continues to participate in the regional water quality 303(d) Monitoring Program. The City and partner agencies successfully monitored the Buellton industrial location during three storms in the 2021-2022 reporting year. The 303(d) Monitoring Program Results, 2021-2022 summary memorandum (County of Santa Barbara 2022) is provided as an attachment to the MS4 Annual Report. Additionally, the City will continue to conduct an annual condition assessment for each BMP inventoried, in accordance with the Attachment B - BMP Condition Assessment Guidance to the LPR Model Technical Report (Geosyntec 2018).
The City will continue to perform these actions to provide data to inform the model and adjust as needed overtime, consistent with the adaptive management framework, and focus on priority areas and POCs.
3.2 TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS
3.2.1 Education and Outreach (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3) The City continues to maintain the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Stormwater and the Construction Industry poster and the Prevent Soil Erosion on Your Property brochure on its Stormwater Management webpage. 100% of applicable City staff and contractors were provided with Construction Stormwater Training (seven trainees). The training is designed to provide information to assist in identifying and recommending effective erosion and sediment control BMPs during construction inspections. New pertinent construction stormwwater information is also included. The test of understanding conducted after the training displayed high levels of knowledge retention, with the average score among the seven trainees being 99%.
3.2.2 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (CASQA Outcome Level 4) The implementation of the City’s IDDE Program is described in Section 3.1.3.
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 15 3.2.3 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3) During Year 9, the City did not issue any new construction site grading permits that required review of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SCP) and/or Stormwater Control Plan (SWCP). One construction project was completed during the reporting year, another project that had been approved during a previous year was reopened in Year 9, but remained inactive (no construction or soil disturbance). The City conducted monthly inspections at one active construction site during the reporting year.
This appears to be a very effective BMP, as the inspection contractor is able to meet with on-site staff to provide some training and follows the EPR protocol for BMP deficiencies, which has resulted in rapid corrections. The City will continue to monitor the long-term erosion and sediment control measures at each of these construction sites.
In Year 9, there were no site investigations associated with sedimentation/siltation related discharges from construction sites.
3.2.4 Post-Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3)
In Year 9, no new construction sites received discretionary approval. Three construction projects were in the Engineering project plan check phase that received discretionary approval after March 6, 2014 and may require a SWCP to be submitted to comply with the Central Coast Post-Construction Requirement (PCR) measures. One of the three projects has been cancelled.
3.2.5 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (CASQA Outcome Levels 2 & 3)
3.2.5.1 Street Sweeping
During Year 9, the City’s street sweeping contractor continued to conduct bimonthly street sweeping. A total of
33.5 miles of the City’s streets (residential and arterial roads, but not private roads), alleyways, and parking lots were swept twice a month. This comprises nearly all the streets of the 1.58-square mile City. Sweeping the streets regularly is an effective method by which the City prevents sediment and other pollutants from the entering the storm drain conveyance system.
3.2.5.2 Storm Drain Assessment and Cleaning
The City continued to implement its Storm Drain System Assessment, Prioritization, and Maintenance Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). In Year 9, the City contracted cleaning of the storm drain system catch basins, drop inlets, area drains, and sidewalk drains. The contractor cleaned 202 of the City’s 220 storm drains and removed an estimated total of 3,470 gallons of organic material (383 five-gallon buckets), sediment (281 five-gallon buckets), and trash (thirty-five-gallon buckets). This is a 37% increase from the estimated total in Year 8.
3.2.5.3 Hotspot Inspections
The City’s only stormwater pollution “hotspot” is the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), which was inspected quarterly during Year 9. During the inspections, WWTP staff were instructed on pollution prevention and good housekeeping measures when deficiencies were identified. All observations are recorded in a Hotspot Site Investigation form with a supplemental photographic log for City records.
3.2.6 Water Quality Monitoring (CASQA Outcome Level 5)
The City’s water quality monitoring program is described in Section 3.1.5.
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan Annual Summary 2021-2022 City of Buellton 16 4.0 PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS SUMMARY
The City successfully implemented its Stormwater Management Program in the 2021-2022 reporting year (Year 9). The City has identified the effective strategies used during the past reporting year, as well as the challenges faced, and will use this information to adapt its program with the continued goal of reducing/eliminating the impact of local stormwater quality on downstream receiving water bodies. The City has not identified any significant data gaps and/or revisions to the PEAIP that may be necessary for the evaluation of the POC-specific management questions.
As public health restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic loosened, the City was able to implement many BMPs that were not able to be implemented during the pandemic (i.e., public events, in-person meetings, etc.).
Outcome Levels 2 and 3 are inherently difficult to quantify; therefore, the assessment of the BMPs used to achieve these are generally qualified. Public events are a means of having direct interaction with the community and stakeholders to gain valuable feedback. The City was also able to continue implementing beneficial BMP alternatives that were adapted during the pandemic. For example, with the prohibition on public events, the City increased virtual and media-based public education and outreach (Outcome Level 2), which may reach a broader audience; this is anticipated to continue.
Collaboration with the City’s co-permittee, the City of Solvang, partner agencies, and other stakeholders has continued to be a highly valued resource for the Program and further allowed the Program to evolve. The City will continue to participate in SBCAMM meetings, the OWOW campaign, and educational programs and develop and distribute outreach materials and promote public participation events. On a local level, the City regularly interacts with the community and provides educational materials to the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden, Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society, Oak Valley Elementary School, the City library, community clubs, nurseries, et al.
Participating in City events, such as the Buellton BBQ Bonanza, have shown to be an excellent platform for communicating directly with citizens and gaining insight into the public’s level of stormwater knowledge, successful outreach strategies, areas to be improved upon, and general comments.
The City is addressing high- and medium-priority POCs by implementing source reduction BMPs, such as (not limited to):
• Outfall screening and inspections and responding to 100% of potential illicit discharges and illegal connections;
• Providing training to 100% of City staff and applicable contractors; • Contracting cleaning of all storm drains and almost every street in the MS4; and • Exploring pilot programs, such as continuing the 2020-2021 CTPL pet waste pilot program and continuing to monitor this area for changes in public behavior (Outcome Level 3), exploring other opportunities to increase awareness of the pet waste issue, and assessing the effectiveness of this BMP.
The City will continue to participate in the regional water quality 303(d) Monitoring Program and conduct the annual condition assessment for each BMP inventoried, in accordance with the Attachment B - BMP Condition Assessment Guidance to the LPR Model Technical Report (Geosyntec 2018) to provide data to inform the LRP model and achieve Outcome Levels 4 for high- and medium-priority POCs. As stated in the PEIAP, due to the temporal and spatial variability of water quality data, it is extremely challenging and takes many years and a significant amount of data to establish linkages between pollutants in MS4 discharges and the conditions within the receiving waters.
As stated in Section 2, this assessment was conducted according to the management questions, data collection, and data assessment methods outlined within Table 5 and 6 of the PEAIP. The responses to these management questions are summarized in Tables 3 and 4 below.

Preface
The California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) is a nonprofit corporation that advances sustainable stormwater management protective of California water resources. With approximately 2,000 members, CASQA’s membership is comprised of a diverse range of stormwater quality management organizations and individuals, including over 180 cities, 23 counties, special districts, federal agencies, state agencies, ports, universities and school districts, wastewater agencies, water suppliers, industries, and consulting firms throughout the state. Collectively, CASQA represents over 26 million people in California.
This report provides CASQA’s members with focused information on its efforts to raise awareness about the connection between pesticide use and water quality through the Our Water, Our World program (OWOW). The goal of Our Water, Our World is to support a statewide integrated pest management IPM outreach program that provides direct to consumer information on less-toxic IPM practices.
By focusing on true source control and public outreach, OWOW advances two core components of CASQA’s Vision for Sustainable Stormwater Management1 (Principles 1 and 3).

Section 1. Introduction
Our Water Our World (OWOW) Our Water, Our World (OWOW) is an award-winning partnership between city- and county-based water pollution prevention agencies and garden centers and hardware stores that sell pest control products. Initiated in 1998, the program focuses on less-toxic, eco-friendly products and techniques as many common pesticides are harmful to sensitive species and ecosystems when they reach local creeks, bays, and the ocean.
OWOW started as a pilot project in 1998, in just a handful of stores, initiated by the Contra Costa County Sanitation District, the City of Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant, and the Marin Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program. The program quickly grew and was administered by the former Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association from 1999 – 2021. During that time, over 130 agencies in 16 counties implemented the program, working in approximately 239 stores. Starting in January 2022, the program was transferred to CASQA, with the goal of providing statewide access to this important and successful outreach program.
From a stormwater management perspective, OWOW is an excellent opportunity and cost-efficient way to educate the public and reduce toxicity in waterways from current use pesticides. Several municipalities utilize OWOW to meet permit requirements, including the San Francisco Bay Area Municipal Regional Permit2, the Central Valley Region-wide MS43, and the Phase II – Small MS4 General Permit4.
This report provides a summary of the OWOW program activities implemented between July 2021 and June 2022.
Section 2. OWOW Program Elements
The OWOW program consists of several elements, which are integral to its effectiveness.

A critical component of the program, IPM Advocates are individuals who have been specifically trained on how to engage with retailers and the public. IPM Advocates provide in-store presentations and advice to customers about pest management methods that are healthier for people and the environment. IPM Advocates also provide training for store employees and on an annual basis, receive continuing education and training.
2.2 EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
In the store, consumers are directed to less-toxic products and techniques through a variety of ways:
• Fact sheets are provided to educate the public on a wide range of pest management topics • Shelf tags and display materials guide customers to less-toxic products • Additional educational resources are provided, such as product lists and information about active ingredients in pest management products
• Many of the educational outreach materials provided in-store are being updated to include QR codes, linking directly to the OWOW website.

Participation in these events in a critical step to ensure stores carry less-toxic products.
Section 3: OWOW Partnerships
The program is currently administered by CASQA, implemented by local cities and counties, with IPM Advocates and University of California Statewide IPM Program (UC IPM) serving as collaborative partners as shown in Figure 1.
CASQA manages and provides the central services necessary to operate and maintain Our Water, Our World, including the development of the in-store education materials (e.g., less-toxic product lists, label files, and active ingredient lists), creation and updates of outreach materials, operation and updates to the OWOW website, vendor (i.e., retail partners and pesticide distributors) outreach, preparation of an annual report, fulfillment of outreach materials orders, and program management and development.
IPM Advocates are highly trained individuals that support local implementation of the OWOW program in retail stores and are a crucial component of the OWOW program. They provide retail nurseries, hardware stores, and garden centers direct to consumer information on integrated pest management tools, products, and practices. They are the link between the municipalities and the retailers where they reach consumers. the IPM Advocates provide IPM trainings for store staff, and host webinars and events for customers via separate contracts with local agencies.
Suzanne Bontempo was contracted by CASQA to coordinate the IPM Advocates to keep continuity within the program, hold regular meetings to communicate updates on new pests and new pest management techniques, and maintain the outreach material. The active IPM Advocates include: Suzanne Bontempo, Debi Tidd, Julie Barbour, Lorenzo Levinger, Charlotte Canner, Maris Sidenstacker, and Lisa Ratusz.
The UC IPM Program provides research and expertise on IPM practices promoted throughout the state and maintains a website of less-toxic integrated pest management practices for nearly 1000 home, garden, landscape, and turf pests. Karey Windbiel-Rojas, Staff Director for Urban and Community IPM, UC IPM Program has been involved with the IPM Advocate program since its inception and continues to assist with advocate training, technical resources on pest management practices, and as a liaison with UC resources.
Municipal agencies subscribe to OWOW through CASQA and implement the OWOW program in their local retail stores by contracting with IPM Advocates or using municipal staff or other contractors. Implementation may be implemented by a single agency at stores within their jurisdiction or organized at a regional scale, where Agencies combine resources to implement the OWOW program at select stores used by multiple jurisdictions. In addition, municipal agencies conduct outreach to educate residents about the OWOW program.

Section 4. Annual Program Implementation (2021-2022)
The following OWOW outreach services were conducted between July 2021 and June 2022.
4.1 IPM ADVOCATES
After training by the University of California IPM Program, Advocates are contracted by local municipalities and then assigned to stores, where they pass on their knowledge to staff and hold educational events for customers Excellent relationships between the Advocates and store management and staff are key to the successful promotion of less-toxic, eco-friendly projects. Current IPM Advocates were trained prior to COVID-19 pandemic. Between July 2021 and June 2022, no training for new or existing IPM advocates was conducted.
IPM Coordination
Ms. Bontempo held regular meetings to communicate updates on new pests and new pest management techniques with current IPM Advocates.
DPR Grant Application
In the spring of 2022, CASQA and collaborating partners initiated worked on a draft DPR grant application to fund the development of a IPM Advocate Training Program. The application was held hold until the program needs are further refined, and the best funding approach is identified. The future activities to develop a IPM Advocate Training Program are described in Section 5.
4.2 EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH MATERIAL
Educational material includes fact sheets for specific pests, gardening and pesticide applications, shelf labels to identify eco-friendly products in stores, and OWOW website that makes the material accessible to the public. Some examples of OWOW outreach materials are provided in Appendix A. New OWOW outreach materials were not printed in this reporting year as the local jurisdictions and IPM Advocates had sufficient materials in stock.
Fact Sheets
There are 18 OWOW fact sheets available, including four (4) available in both English and Spanish. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to transition from paper fact sheets to a digital option was identified. Trackable QR codes were created to digitally access the OWOW fact sheets in the pesticide aisle at each retailer. The trackable QR codes record which fact sheets are viewed by consumers in retail stores. The trackable QR code posters were developed in 2021 and made available in select stores starting January 2022. According to the data from the QR code posters, the top three fact sheets viewed between January and June 2022, were ants, rats and mice, and moles, voles, and gophers. Table 2 presents a summary of QR code scans per month for each fact sheet.
Website
The OWOW website provides public access to OWOW outreach material, IPM resources, and the Store Locator, an interactive map to search for participating stores. Updates to the Store Locator are made on a quarterly basis. The Store Locator was revised in June 2022 to add 11 new participating stores and remove 6 stores that are closed or no longer supporting the OWOW program.
Store-based Product Lists
The store-based product lists provide the current lists of the eco-friendly products that the Home Depot stores and Ace Hardware stores sell each year. IPM Advocates use the store-based product lists to identify the eco-friendly products on store shelves using labels or “shelf talkers/tags”. Each year, the lists are reviewed, and updates are made as needed in consultation with subject-matter-experts. This year, the new products had the same active ingredients as others and
OWOW – Annual Summary Report

therefore, no revisions were necessary. Each year, more pesticide companies label eco-friendly products responding to purchasing habits by the consumer. Appendix B provides the products lists from 2022.

4.3 VENDOR OUTREACH
Education of vendors and retailers on less-toxic products is a critical step to ensure stores carry less-toxic products.
Retail Partners
Ms. Bontempo as the IPM Advocate Coordinator leads collaboration with key retail partners. During the past year, she maintained a relationship with the Home Depot Corporate Sustainability Officer. She communicates quarterly to keep goals aligned and to provide Home Depot with updates on OWOW activities in the stores. Each year, OWOW receives a letter of support from the Home Depot Corporate Sustainability Officer that facilitates collaboration with local retailers. Home Depot Corporate is a model retailer partner and OWOW strives to replicate this partnership with other retailers and vendors. Ms.
Bontempo plans to initiate communications with new contacts at Lowe’s. She has also met with the CNRG Ace Hardware group with the goal of expanding the OWOW program into more of their stores. hardware group in hopes to expand the OWOW program throughout their stores.

Vendor Communication
OWOW has established relationships with national pesticide manufacturers. Annual communication with vendors is essential to learn about new pesticide active ingredients, products, and market trends. Key vendors have reported many obstacles in 2022 as follows:
• Supply chains are still straining product supply
• In-store sales have returned from the pandemic
• During a drought, consumers tend to purchase less live plant material. • Consumer expendable cash flow is less available due to inflation and fuel cost Trade Show Booths
Attending trade shows provides an opportunity to meet the vendors, learn about the new products coming onto the marketplace in California, answer questions, and provide mentorship to the retail buyers. In 2022, OWOW representatives planned to attend trade shows, however, the in-person events were suspended due to COVID-19. Below is the list of trade shows that OWOW representatives typically attend each year. • Central Lawn & Garden Distributor Trade Show, Las Vegas NV • L&L Nursery Distributor Trade Show, Reno, NV: OWOW representatives joining the L&L Distributors virtual trade show.
• NorCal Landscape Trade Show, San Mateo, CA
4.4 TRAINING AND OUTREACH FOR RETAILERS AND CONSUMERS
IPM Advocates and other OWOW service providers conduct OWOW outreach activities to educate retailers and consumers at the local level. Local OWOW Implementation activities vary between agencies. Agencies receive tailored OWOW reports from their contracted IPM Advocate with a summary of their local OWOW data (for example, the number of trainings, the number of staff trained, and/or the number of fact sheet distributed).
IPM Advocates provided OWOW services to approximately 243 participating retailers throughout California. This reporting year, 9 retailers were added in the Sacramento area, Marin County, Alameda County, Sonoma County, and Contra Costa County. Table 3 provides a summary of outreach activities between July 2021 and June 2022. These activities were funded by local municipalities and stormwater programs.

Page. 13 of 14
IPM Advocates conducted 115 trainings and trained 768 retail store staff. Main topics include IPM, managing pest problems with a less-toxic approach. In addition, IPM Advocates provided tips for new gardeners and how to protect gardens in the time of drought. Education has expanded to include protecting gardens during times of drought since plants are more prone to pest problems when they are (drought) stressed. IPM Advocates provided more digital support including a monthly retailer e-newsletter, online webinars and social media posts to the public. These activities are described in more detail below.
Impacts due to COVID-19 Pandemic:
• Retailers were still impacted by the supply chain challenges and inventory shortages. • Retailers were also challenged by labor shortages, frequent new hires, and key staff out due to coronavirus related exposure or illness.
• Scheduling staff trainings for the retailer partners was challenging due to labor shortages and staff calling out due to coronavirus exposure. This caused IPM Advocates to reschedule several trainings, and/or work with the few staff present on the day.
• When in-person, IPM Advocates worked with store staff in smaller groups of multiple training sessions back-toback.
OWOW Retailer e-Newsletter:
• Currently, of the total 243 retailers, there are 161 retailers receiving the e-newsletters. • A monthly newsletter is emailed to participating retailers at the beginning of each month. This newsletter contains information on seasonal pest problems and eco-management solutions and assists with ensuring that all key store staff, including managers, are receiving the information. Many of the managers print the OWOW newsletter and post it for all staff to review. The newsletter lists the upcoming events that IPM Advocates are participating in, such as in-person tabling events or on-line webinars. Retailers have then posted the relevant events into their newsletters that are sent out to their customers. The newsletter also includes information on upcoming professional trainings, such as the Qualified Water Efficient Landscape (QWEL) trainings.
OWOW IPM Educational Webinars:
• Webinars were developed in lieu of in-person outreach events during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These webinars have grown in popularity and now are a regular service provided by IPM Advocates to agencies that contract with them at the local scale. Each registrant received a program outline and a ‘Helpful Gardening Resource’ page.
OWOW IPM Social Media Posts/Tips:
• OWOW IPM tips were created for social media content as an additional way to expand the OWOW message to the public. IPM Advocates create seasonal content as a guide to prevent and manage each pest. This public outreach option is available at the local scale to those agencies contracted with an IPM Advocate. Agencies retain data of views and responses to each post.
Twelve bilingual IPM tips were provided throughout the contract year:
• Rodent exclusion
• Fall for planting
• Hiring a Pest Control Company
• Organic Fertilizers
• Rose Care
• Composting
• Yellow jacket prevention
• Installing a rain garden
• Dormant sprays
• Weed management
• Mosquitos
• Powdery mildew

Section 5: OWOW Program Development
To support a growing demand for OWOW outreach material and IPM Advocates, there are efforts currently underway, as well as future considerations, that are necessary to advance the OWOW program and its services.
5.1 UPDATES IN PROGRESS
Review of OWOW Outreach Materials
CASQA is establishing a review process for OWOW materials. In 2023, it is anticipated that OWOW outreach materials will be reviewed for technical accuracy and updated by subject matter experts. Retailer e-newsletters will be reviewed by subject matter experts prior to release starting July 2022. OWOW will also be coordinated with CASQA's larger pesticide regulatory work (CASQA, 2022) 5.
New Order Process for OWOW Outreach Materials
The process for ordering OWOW outreach material was modified to conduct bulk ordering twice per year (starting August 2022). Ordering in bulk provides the best price for all materials. CASQA developed a new online order form to compile the bulk order.
5.2 FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
Annual Reporting
In 2023, CASQA will develop a new process, schedule and supporting templates and tools, as needed, for OWOW Subscribers to report on OWOW implementation activities. This information can then be integrated into the Annual Report to provide a more robust perspective of local implementation activities throughout the state.
IPM Advocate Training Program
To operate at a statewide scale, and in a sustainable manner, certain aspects of the existing OWOW program must be formalized and expanded. In 2022, CASQA began developing an outline for a potential Qualified IPM Advocate Training Program. CASQA will coordinate workgroups comprised of OWOW Subscribers, current IPM Advocates, and training experts to develop a framework for the Qualified IPM Advocate Training Program. This framework will be utilized to seek outside funding (e.g., a future grant application or partnership with another organization).
IPM Advocate “In-Training”
While IPM Advocate training opportunities are not available, Suzanne Bontempo, as the IPM Advocate Coordinator will provide support for individuals interested in becoming IPM Advocates. The IPM Advocate “In-training” program will ensure that individuals providing OWOW outreach services in stores are providing the latest information and are consistent with the program. The IPM Advocate “In-training” program will be initiated in Fall of 2022 and provide a bridge for additional IPM Advocate services until the Qualified IPM Advocate program can be developed and implemented. 5 See report from 2022. the Pesticide Annual Report and Effectiveness Assessment.

July: Powdery Mildew, rodent exclusion, shade cloth and anti-transpirant June: Mosquitos, Yellow jackets & Flies or Cucumber beetles Powdery Mildew
As the summer temperatures warm up & dry out, powdery mildew seems to come on strong.
This fungus is most noticed it on the leaves of crape myrtles, summer squash, roses, tomatoes and so many more.
Powdery mildew is a common fungal disease found on many different types of plants. It appears as a white or grayish, powdery growth that is most commonly found on leaf surfaces, but may also infect buds, shoots and even flowers and fruits. This ‘powder’ is actually the mycelium and spores of the fungi. Powdery mildew is rarely fatal, however on some plants, leaves may yellow and fall off, and leaves and shoots may distort.
There are many different types of powdery mildew fungi that can cause the disease, and spores can be spread to new plants by wind. But all of the spores need leaves free of water to germinate, so water on the plant surfaces can actually inhibit germination and kill the spores.
Ideal conditions for powdery mildew are temperatures between 60° and 80° F, but it can be active in temperatures from 55° and 90° F. It is most common in shady conditions and dense plantings.
PREVENTION
The best way to manage powdery mildew is to prevent it through cultural practices. Place plants in full sun where possible, and provide good air circulation Avoid excess fertilizer that stimulates new growth that is more prone to the fungus. Use compost and organic fertilizers to prevent excessive tender, overgrown foliage that shades the leaves and provides the right conditions for the fungus. Prune out small infestations, but don’t over-prune to avoid rapid growth. Irrigate plants by watering leaves mid-morning to kill the spores, and to allow leaves to dry quickly to avoid other fungal infections.
Clean up dead plant material and fallen leaves so that spores don’t spread and won’t be able to overwinter in plant tissue.
Choose plant varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew when possible.
USING FUNGICIDES
In case of severe infections, there are several environmentally friendly products that can help to manage powdery mildew. Most of these products are best used to prevent powdery mildew, so apply them to plants susceptible to the disease before you see the powdery mildew or in the very beginning stages. Thoroughly cover all plant parts, including under the leaves.
Additional applications may be needed as the plant grows.
