5.6c) Answer the following questions regarding Public Hotline and Training [VI.D.10.d and VI.D.10.f]

Yes No
Did you maintain or provide access to a hotline to enable the public to report illicit discharges/connections? ☒ ☐
Did you continue to implement a training program regarding the identification of IC/IDs for all municipal field staff, who, as part of their normal job responsibilities (e.g., street sweeping, storm drain maintenance, collection system maintenance, road maintenance), may come into contact with or otherwise observe an illicit discharge or illicit connection to the MS4?

☒

☐

5.6d) Additional Information. If desired, provide additional information regarding implementation of the Illicit Connections and Illicit Discharges Elimination Program.

The reporting of IC/ID is addressed through the City of Gardena (310) 217-9528 or (888) CLEANLA. The City of Gardena has also instituted “Gardena Direct,” an Accela Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application available at http://iframe.publicstuff.com/#?client_id=1000006, which facilitates the reporting of illicit discharges, illicit connections, and other pollution source control issues.

6 Stormwater Control Measures Summary
Complete the following items in this section.

If the information on stormwater control measure implementation requested in the following section will be included in a Watershed Form submitted by the Permittee, the Permittee may reference the Watershed Form and skip those items. Aside from the calculation of Effective Impervious Area (Section 6.1) and the Summary of Projects that Retain Runoff (Section 6.2), items in this section cover projects that are not part of the Planning and Land Development Program.

The tables within this section outline minimum information for reporting. The Permittee may reformat the sections regarding projects completed in the reporting year to include additional project descriptions and information (e.g. pictures, maps, funding information, etc.).

If any of the requested information cannot be obtained, please note in Section 11.

6.1 Effective Impervious Area and 85th Percentile, 24-Hour Runoff Volume [Attachment E, XVIII.A.1] (if available):

Summarize the estimated cumulative change in percent EIA since the effective date of the Permit (i.e. 12/28/2012) for the entire area covered by the WMP/EWMP and, if possible, the estimated change in the stormwater runoff volume during the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event for the entire area covered by the WMP/EWMP.

We have preliminary estimated an EIA value of approximately 74%, however the City appreciates and will utilize the alternative cumulative change in EIA estimate that was offered to Permittees in the May 25, 2017, LARWQCB reporting guidance memorandum.

6.2 Sum mary of Projects that Retain Runoff (including New and Redevelopment Projects); Complete the summary tables below.

6.6 Effectiveness Assessment of Stormwater Control Measures [ Attachment E – XVIII.A.2]: Provide the following:

• An assessment as to whether the quality of stormwater discharges as measured at designated outfalls is improving, staying the same or declining;
• An assessment as to whether wet-weather receiving water quality within the jurisdiction of the Permittee is improving, staying the same or declining, when normalized for variations in rainfall patterns.

The LARWQCB EO approved the City of Gardena Request to Modify the Board Directive to Commence Baseline Monitoring Pursuant to the Monitoring and Reporting Program as Set Forth in Attachment E (Los Angeles County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit – NPDES Permit No. CAS 004001; Order No. R4-2012-075) on March 6, 2019, and the first water quality sample was collected on November 22, 2018. Stormwater outfall and receiving water quality data, collected during the past three years, do not yet allow for the development of an informative BMP/WCM effectiveness assessment.

6.7 Integrated Monitoring Compliance Report, Stormwater Control Measures [Attachment E – XVIII.A.5.d]: Provide a description of efforts that were taken to address stormwater discharges that exceeded one or more applicable water quality based effluent limitation, or caused or contributed to aquatic toxicity:

Through the voluntary early installation of Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) Full Capture Devices (FCDs) trash, organic matter, and sediment conveyance during storm events should be greatly reduced, however, absent maintenance and trash removal records, a determinations of trash volumes captured cannot be made.

The average copper content of automotive brake pads is rapidly declining as numerically assessed in a California Storm Water Quality Association (CASQA) technical report on the subject.

Water quality monitoring data collected prior to October 1, 2018 appears to include transcription errors and should be considered suspect until such time as the original analytical reports are made available.

6.8 Additional Information (optional): If available, the Permittee may include / attach the following items to their report:

• Hydrographs and Flow Data: Hydrographs or flow data of pre- and post-control activity for the 85th percentile, 24- hour rain event, if control measures were designed to reduce impervious cover or stormwater peak flow and flow duration.
• Reference Watershed Flow Duration Curves: For natural drainage systems, develop a reference watershed flow duration curve and compare it to a flow duration curve for the subwatershed under current conditions. • GIS Project Files: If available, submit a GIS project file that maps all implementation of on-the-ground projects (e.g. riparian buffer/wetland restoration; distributed/green streets; regional projects; new development and redevelopment on-site; and new development and redevelopment off-site)

The City of Gardena does not yet consider the integrity and reliability of this data to be sufficient for regulatory reporting and review. We are continuing to assess how the information can be better collected, validated, assessed, and presented.

7 Non-Stormwater Control Measures Summary
Complete the following items in this section.

7.1 Provide a description of efforts that were taken to mitigate and/or eliminate all non-stormwater discharges that exceeded one or more applicable water quality based effluent limitations, non-stormwater action levels, or caused or contributed to Aquatic Toxicity [Attachment E – XVIII.A.5.c]:

The inventory/screening program implemented by the City of Gardena during April-June 2019 suggested that significant Dominguez Channel Non-Stormwater were the result of conditionally exempt MS4 NPDES Permitted discharges, originating outside of City drainage areas. No NSWD water quality monitoring data were developed during the reporting period, as no discharges met standard MS4 Permit criteria for prioritization.

7.2 Provide the status of multi-year efforts, including TMDL implementation, related to the implementation or effectiveness assessment of non-stormwater control measures, that were not completed in the current year and will continue into the subsequent year(s) [Attachment E – XVIII.A.3.h]:

On February 7, 2019, the City of Gardena City Council authorized an additional 500 MS4 Permit I/C facility inspections that resulted in a significant business and public outreach education effort to further reduce the potential for NSWDs, Illicit discharges, illicit connections, and the discharge of industrial runoff, that may currently be occurring.

7.3 Provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the Permittee control measures in effectively prohibiting non-stormwater discharges through the MS4 to the receiving water [Attachment E – XVIII.A.4.b]:

NSWD significant flows within the City of Gardena appeared to be primarily associated with conditionally exempt MS4 NPDES Permitted discharges. As discussed in Section 4.4, a single MS4 outfall, with a catchment outside of the City, was investigated for NSWD sources by the City and referred to Los Angeles County.

7.4 Provide an assessment as to whether the quality of non-stormwater discharges as measured at monitored outfalls is improving, staying the same or declining:

The City of Gardena undertook three NSWD surveys during the 2018-19 RY, where NSWD flows were generally insignificant and below generally recognized MS4 Permit prioritization criteria. There is insufficient data to support an assessment of whether NSWD water quality is improving, unchanged, or declining.

7.5 Provide an assessment as to whether receiving water quality within the jurisdiction of the Permittee is impaired, improving, staying the same or declining during dry-weather conditions. Each Permittee may compare water quality data from the reporting year to previous years with similar dry-weather flows, conduct trends analysis, draw from regional bioassessment studies, or use other means to develop and support its conclusions [Attachment E, Part XVIII.A.4.a]:

The LARWQCB EO approved of the City of Gardena Request to Modify Directive to Commence Baseline Monitoring Pursuant to the Monitoring and Reporting Program as Set Forth in Attachment E (Los Angeles County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit – NPDES Permit No. CAS 004001; Order No. R4- 2012-075) on March 6, 2019, and while the City of Gardena implemented its third year of dry-weather water quality monitoring, data does not yet support development of this assessment.

7.6 Describe sources of significant non-stormwater discharges determined to be a NPDES permitted discharge, a discharge subject to A Record of Decision approved by USEPA pursuant to section 121 of CERCLA, a conditional exempt essential non-stormwater discharge, or entirely comprised of natural flows. [Attachment E – IX.F.2]

NSWD significant flows within the City of Gardena appeared to result from conditionally exempt MS4 NPDES Permitted discharges. A single prioritized MS4 outfall was identified as having a drainage area exclusive of the City. No NSWD water quality monitoring data were developed during the reporting period.

8 TMDL Reporting
Complete the following items in this section.

8.1 Trash TMDL Compliance Report [VI.E.5.c.i]

For Permittees subject to Trash TMDLs, attach a Trash TMDL compliance report for each applicable Trash TMDL detailing compliance with applicable interim and/or final effluent limitations. Indicate if compliance is being achieved through (1) full capture systems; (2) partial capture devices and/or institutional controls; (3) combined compliance approaches; (4) minimum frequency of assessment and collection (MFAC); or (5) an alternative compliance option.

Although not subject to a trash TMDL, the City of Gardena has installed Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) Full Capture Device (FCD) and 87% effective Automatic Retracting Screen (ARS) devices in at least 184, of 230, City owned catch basins in partial and early implementation of the SWRCB Trash Policy. This was documented in the City of Gardena Statewide Trash Provisions Implementation Assessment Plan submitted to the LARWQCB on February 15, 2019. An additional 400 similar installations have been budgeted for the FY 2021-2022 period, using SCWP MPTA support. During the reporting period, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works reported removing just over 4 tons of debris from 220 catch basins in the City.

8.2 TMDL Reporting [Attachment E, XIX]

Report on progress towards achieving interim or final milestones/WQBELs/RWLs based on applicable compliance schedules in Attachments L-R and any additional milestones and corresponding deadlines in an approved WMP/EWMP. If this information is reported in another document (e.g. Annual Report Watershed Form) or an attachment, clearly state and provide a reference to the pertinent document and section.

The only active TMDL currently applicable to the City of Gardena, as identified in Table K-4 of the amended Permit, is the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors Toxic Pollutants TMDL.

As summarized in Part E, of Attachment N, to the Permit, this is probably the most complex TMDL developed by the LARWQCB, targeting potential toxicity resulting from six metals, DDTs, PCBs, and PAHs, with widely varying interim and final pollutant concentrations, within more than a dozen water bodies, for water column, sediment, and fish tissue matrices. Fortunately, most Gardena storm drains are concrete-lined and in the Freshwater portion of the Dominguez Channel, where receiving water quality can be effectively assessed immediately east of Vermont Avenue. Small portions of Gardena contribute runoff, to the much larger tributary area and discharge flows from the City and County of Los Angeles, through a vegetated channel under Artesia Boulevard, also located just east of Vermont Avenue, into the Dominguez Channel Estuary.

Flows from Gardena would not typically be expected to significantly impact storm or non-storm water discharge water quality from this drain; however, this supposition could be revisited following a referral from the City of Los Angeles based on water quality monitoring data from the outfall location.

In response to the LARWQCB baseline monitoring letters of January 6, 2017 and September 9, 2018, the City of Gardena executed a November 28, 2018 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG), to financially contribute to the existing Dominguez Channel Watershed Management Area (DCWMA) Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors Toxic Pollutants TMDL Monitoring Study. Following payment, the MOA became effective on December 18, 2018, as was noted in the LARWQCB letter of March 3, 2019. This MOA resulted in the DC WMA sharing with Gardena sediment chemistry, grain size, toxicity and benthic infauna data for station B18-10397, located just above the Torrance Lateral, along with fish tissue bioaccumulation chemistry data from the same general location. The sediment and fish tissue data were included as part of the 2018 Bight Program Assessment Reports, which can be downloaded from https://www.sccwrp.org/about/research-areas/regional-monitoring/southern-

california-bight-regional-monitoring-program/bight-program-documents/bight-18/.

The City of Gardena anticipates that true pollutant source controls, such as the changing formulation of automotive friction pads, diesel exhaust filters and afterburners, and increased pesticide regulation, will continue to result in progress towards achieving water quality objectives and supporting receiving water beneficial use objectives. The City contributes to these efforts by having implemented an aggressive street vacuuming program and an effective MS4 Permit I/C facility inspection and enforcement program.

9 Watershed Hydrology
Complete the following items in this section.

If the information on watershed hydrology requested in the following section is included in a Watershed Form or was previously included in a WMP or EWMP, you may simply reference those documents.

9.1 (If applicable) Watershed Summary Information, Organization, and Content: Provide the information below in the odd year Annual Report (e.g., Year 1, 3, 5) 22, or any updates to the information below if previously provided. The requested information shall be provided for each watershed within the Permittee’s jurisdiction [Attachment E – XVII]:

Provide the following information related to the Watershed Management Area:
1) Description of effective TMDLs, applicable WQBELs, receiving water limitations, implementation and reporting requirements, and compliance dates;
2) List of CWA Section 303(d) listings not addressed by TMDLs. 3) Results of regional bioassessment monitoring. (If applicable, a reference to the SMC will suffice here.) 4) Description of known hydromodification effects to receiving waters. 5) Description and location of natural drainage systems. 6) Description of groundwater recharge areas, including number and acres. 7) Maps and/or aerial photographs identifying ESAs, ASBS, natural drainage systems, and groundwater recharge areas.

1. Effective TMDLs, WQBELs, RWLs, implementation and reporting requirements, and compliance dates are identified in the amended 2012 Coastal Los Angeles County MS4 Permit and are further described in the appropriate section of the LARWQCB website. The City of Gardena is continuing to implement new BMPs, WCMs, and source controls to support the attainment of receiving water beneficial use objectives.

2. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Draft 2018 California Integrated Report website (https://www.water boards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/water_quality_assessment/2018_integrated_report.ht ml) recommends development of a TMDL for indicator bacteria in the (lined) Dominguez Channel.

3. Results of a 2015 bioassessment study conducted by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) concluded that metals, pyrethroids, and toxicity were either rarely above threshold or weakly associated with biological condition (See Bioassessment of Streams in Southern California: A Report on the First Five Years of the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition’s Regional Stream Survey, SCCRWP, Technical Report 844). The study validates results from SWAMP-generated ambient and wet weather data for Dominguez Channel that metals and toxics are not significant contributors to the channel’s impairment.

4. The Dominguez Channel within the City of Gardena is a hardened flood control conveyance.

5. The City of Gardena Willows Wetland occupies approximately 13.6 acres of land in southeastern Gardena, northwest of the State Route 91 and Interstate 110 interchange corridor. This site is identified as a natural drainage area that might be modified to increase infiltration and provide additional runoff water treatment.

6. In April 2021, the Friends of the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve submitted a Wildlife Conservation Board Riparian Habitat Conservation Planning Grant Application in amount of $325,000 for Wetland Restoration.

7. The Dominguez Channel Watershed is highly urbanized with few, if any, large groundwater recharge areas.

8. There are no ESAs, ASBSs, or surficial groundwater recharge areas remaining within the City of Gardena.

There is a short unlined drainage conveyance, serving mostly Los Angeles City and County jurisdictional areas, located to the east of Vermont Avenue, adjacent to Artesia Boulevard. An aerial photograph identifying the Gardena Willows Wetlands Preserve is attached below as Figure-1.

1) With the exception of a quarter square-mile area, in northwest Gardena, that drains to WBD No. or HUC-12 Subwatershed 180701060101 (Upper Dominguez Channel), the remainder of the City drains to WBD No. or HUC-12 Subwatershed 180701060102 (Lower Dominguez Channel). While the basin plan recognizes no named tributaries to the Dominguez Channel, the Torrance Lateral is a commonly recognized conveyance within the Dominguez Estuary and below all City of Gardena catchments.

Provide the following information related to the Subwatershed (HUC-12):
1) Description including HUC-12 number, name and a list of all tributaries named in the Basin Plan. 2) Land Use map of the HUC-12 subwatershed.
3) 85th percentile, 24-hour rainfall isohyetal map for the subwatershed. 4) One-year, one-hour storm intensity isohyetal map for the subwatershed. 5) MS4 map for the subwatershed, including major MS4 outfalls and all low flow diversions.

(1) There were a total of 12 storm events during the 2020-21 reporting period. (2) The highest volume event began on December 28, 2020 and concluded on December 29, 2020. (3) The highest number of consecutive days with measurable rainfall was two, from December 28 and 29, 2020. (4) The total rainfall measured during the 2020-21 reporting period was 4.72 inches, compared to the 13.18- inch annual rainfall average for the Coastal Plain, as stated in the LACDPW 2016-17 Hydrologic Report. The total rainfall depth was significantly lower than the average, and therefore, there were significantly less qualifying storm events throughout the fiscal year. The lower-than-average rainfall also made mobilization more challenging than “normal”. Mobilization changes were implemented throughout the wet season to increase social distancing and reduce the potential risk of CoViD 19 transmission. These changes included driving separately, wearing masks, increased sanitation, and increased separation while on site.

9.2 Rainfall Summary: Provide a rainfall summary for the reporting year including: (1) A summary of the number of storm events; (2) The highest volume event (inches/24 hours); (3) The highest number of consecutive days with measureable rainfall; and (4) The total rainfall during the reporting year compared to average annual rainfall for the subwatershed [Attachment E – XVIII.A.2]:

9.3 SW Monitoring Event Summary: Provide a summary table describing rainfall during stormwater outfall and wet -weather receiving water monitoring events. The summary description shall include the date, time that the storm commenced and the storm duration in hours, the highest 15- minute recorded storm intensity (converted to inches/hour), the total storm volume (inches), and the time between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous storm event.

Information and task characterizations provided in this report constitute a best effort to comply with permit requirements that may, or may not, subsequently be determined to constitute unfunded state mandates, based on future State Unfunded Mandate Commission findings. Based on these still evolving commission findings, the City of Gardena reserves the right to terminate the implementation of impacted permit provisions and seek subvention support which, if not provided, would lead to a contest of MS4 Permit enforcement. In the effort to promote shared water quality protection objectives, the City continues to implement this costly MS4 Permit to the maximum extent practicable using primarily diverted City General Funds.

On October 11, 2021, CWE was notified that, due to changing Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) certification requirements, Eurofins Calscience would no longer perform Alkyl PAH analyses, only 8270C SIM PAH analyses. This was discussed with Board staff, along with the observation the alkyl PAHs were not identified in 2021, nor included in the LARWQCB 2021, MS4 Permits. This will be further addressed in the Monitoring Plan Revision due to the Board in 2023.

The critical dry weather event, for the 2020-2021 reporting year, occurred on July 29, 2020, in coordination with County Mass Emission Station (MES) and Dominguez Channel EWMP Group CIMP monitoring. Mobilization for the critical first wet weather event occurred on November 7, 2020, as it was forecast as qualifying at 0600 hours on November 7, 2020, with an 85% chance of depths greater than 0.25’’. Because the forecast was qualifying, and because it was the critical first flush event of the season, samples were collected on November 7, 2020, although only 0.03’’ of rain was produced during the event. Second and third wet-weather water and sediment quality monitoring events were successfully completed on December 28, 2020 and January 28, 2021.

The winter dry-weather event occurred on March 23, 2021, in coordination with Los Angeles County MES and Dominguez Channel EWMP Group Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIP) Plan monitoring. 10 Additional Information (Optional)
Provide any additional information in this section.

You may use this section to report any additional information not specified in the Individual Permittee Report Form; information in the Individual Form that is better presented outside of the report form structure; and/or data limitations that prevented requested information from being obtained. You may also provide an additional detailed summary table describing control measures that are not otherwise described in the reporting requirements.

10.1 Data Limitations: If any of the requested information cannot be obtained, provide a discussion of the factor(s) limiting its acquisition and steps that will be taken to improve future data collection efforts.

The accurate calculation of watershed EIAs is based on subjective criteria that are difficult to quantify and subject to private property modifications generally considered overly intrusive for municipal oversight and regulation. Retention of storm water runoff volumes within BMPs and WCMs is dependent on impervious area, rainfall intensity, and rainfall depth that vary significantly by storm and location within the watershed. Runoff volumes captured should be estimated using assumed rainfall depth and impervious catchment area values incorporated in the annual report, rather using assumptions that ignore actual annual rainfall depths.

10.2 (optional) GIS Files: If available, the Permittee(s) may submit GIS project files that map all implementation of on-the- ground projects (e.g. riparian buffer/wetland restoration; distributed/green streets; regional projects; new development and redevelopment on-site; and new development and redevelopment off-site).

This information has not yet integrated into a unified database format for the City of Gardena.

10.3 Summary of Events Conducted During Reporting Year: Summarize the required monitoring for the year and the monitoring events conducted during the year. Also include the following summary table describing rainfall during stormwater outfall and wet-weather receiving water monitoring events: Additionally, discuss any problems with samples not being collected and their resolution.

The City of Gardena is currently implementing a baseline water quality monitoring program as directed by the LARWQCB Executive Officer in its March 6, 2019, letter to the then City of Gardena City Manager. Therefore, no regional or CIMP related special studies were initiated.

Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures were coordinated with Eurofins Calscience, for wet- chemistry analyses, and Enthalpy Analytical, for microbiological analyses. All samples were analyzed within their required holding times, requiring coordination with analytical laboratories. We understand that a different sub-laboratory will be used for mercury analyses going forward.

City of Gardena water and sediment quality monitoring data, in a CEDEN style Excel® workbook, will be separately submitted to the LARWQCB by December 15, 2021.

In October 2021, CWE and the City of Gardena were advised that, due to SWRCB Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) changes, Eurofins Calscience Laboratories, would no longer perform Method 8270 SIM Alkyl Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) analyses. This analysis was undertaken in response to the March 6, 2019, Monitoring Plan Modification Approval Letter from the Board Executive Officer to the Gardena City Manager. Page 3, Table 2, of that letter, required monitoring for Total PAHs as identified in footnote 22, but the table duplicated three PAHs (Benzo(a)Anthracene, Phenanthrene, and Pyrene) identified in footnote 22, a deuterated PAH surrogate, that should not be in field samples, and alkyl (C1-C4) Chrysene (sic), suggesting that these insertions were made in haste. Since the laboratory no longer analyzes for alkyl Chrysenes and Table E-6 of the recently adopted 2021 MS4 Permit does not include them, the City of Gardena draft revised monitoring and reporting program, due to the Board in December 2022, will be amended or adaptive to more accurate reflect the analyte list identified in Table E-6 of the 2021 MS4 Permit.

10.4 Identification of Non-Direct Measurements Utilized: Identify the measurements utilized within the report that were not directly taken as part of the CIMP (e.g., wet weather flow data, precipitation data, etc.). Additionally, discuss any problems with obtaining non-direct measurements and their resolution.

10.5 Regional and Special Studies: Summarize any regional and/or special studies conducted as part of meeting the CIMP requirements. Include and/or attach to this report any data not previously submitted to the Regional Water Board.

10.6 Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Summarize Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) results and actions to address any QA/QC issues that arose during the year. Potential issues include:

• Holding Time
• Contamination
• Precision
• Summary of Qualified Data (if necessary)

10.7 Assessment of Monitoring Data: Include and/or attach to this report any receiving water and stormwater outfall data not previously submitted to the Regional Water Board.

All monitoring data and associated metadata must be summarized in an Excel spreadsheet and sorted by watershed, subwatershed, monitoring station/outfall identifier linked to a watershed map, and monitoring condition (wet weather receiving water, dry weather receiving water, stormwater outfall, and non-stormwater outfall). The data summary must include the date, sample type, (flow-weighted composite, grab, field measurement), sample start and stop times, parameters, analytical method, value, and units.

For the City of Gardena, wet-weather receiving water and sediment samples were first collected in 2018 and three seasons of data collection provides insufficient data from which to develop trend assessments for water or sediment quality. Samples collected for aquatic toxicity during the first dry weather event and first two wet weather events passed both survival and reproduction bioassays.

The City of Gardena initiated stormwater outfall monitoring in 2018 and three seasons of data collection provides an insufficient foundation for the assessment of changes in the quality of stormwater outfall discharges. No aquatic toxicity analyses were required stormwater outfalls, nor were any collected.

10.8 Assessment of Receiving Water Monitoring Data: Provide an assessment as to whether wet-weather receiving water quality within the watershed is improving, staying the same, or declining, when normalized for variations in rainfall patterns. The assessment may compare water quality data from the reporting year to previous years with similar rainfall patterns, trends analysis, draw from regional bioassessment studies, or use other means to develop and support conclusions. Also provide an assessment as to whether receiving water quality within the watershed management group is impaired, improving, staying the same, or declining during dry-weather conditions.

Data from all receiving water sites would be assessed in this section. Water quality improvements or degradation would be identified. If aquatic toxicity was confirmed and a TIE was conducted, the toxic chemicals as determined by the TIE, will be identified. All relevant data will be included in an appendix to allow the Regional Water Board to review the adequacy and findings of the TIE, including, but not be limited to, the sample(s) date, sample(s) start and end time, sample type(s) (flow-weighted composite, grab, or field measurement), sample location(s) as depicted on the map, the parameters, the analytical results, and the applicable limitation.

For WMPs/EWMPs, this assessment should focus on Category 1, 2, and 3 Water Body-Pollutant Combinations.

10.9 Assessment of Stormwater Outfall-based Monitoring Data: Provide an assessment as to whether the quality of stormwater discharges as measured at designated outfalls is improving, staying the same, or declining. The assessment may compare water quality data from the reporting year to previous years with similar rainfall patterns, conduct trends analysis, or use other means to develop and support its conclusions (e.g., use of municipal action levels as provided in Attachment G of the Permit).

Data from all stormwater outfalls sites shall be assessed in this section. If aquatic toxicity was confirmed and a TIE was conducted, the toxic chemicals as determined by the TIE, will be identified. All relevant data will be included in an appendix to allow the Regional Water Board to review the adequacy and findings of the TIE, including, but not be limited to, the sample(s) date, sample(s) start and end time, sample type(s) (flow-weighted composite, grab, or field measurement), sample location(s) as depicted on the map, the parameters, the analytical results, and the applicable limitation.

For WMPs/EWMPs, this assessment should focus on Category 1, 2, and 3 Water Body-Pollutant Combinations.

The initial outfall inventory was conducted on April 26, May 1, and May 3, 2019, during which, no significant discharges from the City of Gardena were observed, nor samples collected. Non-stormwater outfall screening occurred on June 7, 10, and 25, 2019, during which no significant discharges were observed, nor samples collected.

As commonly observed by most Los Angeles County MS4 Permittees, the Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB), Escherichia coli (E. coli), is the most common Dominguez Channel receiving water limitations exceedance.

During wet-weather, the two stormwater outfalls monitored by the City of Gardena contributed to this exceedance, although they are unlikely to be sole, or even primary, discharge source to the Dominguez Channel.

10.10 Non-stormwater Outfall Screening and Monitoring Program Implementation and Assessment of Monitoring Data: Summarize the implementation of the non-stormwater outfall screening and monitoring program and assess monitoring data collected as part of the program. The summary of program implementation shall include:
• The number and percentage of source identifications completed and their outcome. • The number of outfalls where significant non-stormwater discharge was attributed to other NPDES permitted discharges; other authorized non-stormwater discharges; or conditionally exempt discharges pursuant to Part III.A of the Permit.
• An assessment of the effectiveness of the Permittee(s) control measures in effectively prohibiting non- stormwater discharges through the MS4 to the receiving water. • The status of multi-year efforts related to the non-stormwater outfall screening and monitoring program that were not completed within the current year and will continue. Further details may be included in individual forms submitted by Permittees.

Data from all non-stormwater outfalls sites shall be assessed in this section. If aquatic toxicity was confirmed and a TIE was conducted, the toxic chemicals as determined by the TIE, will be identified. All relevant data will be included to allow the Regional Board to review the adequacy and findings of the TIE, including, but not be limited to, the sample(s) date, sample(s) start and end time, sample type(s) (flow-weighted composite, grab, or field measurement), sample location(s) as depicted on the map, the parameters, the analytical results, and the applicable limitation.

10.11 Identification of Exceedances: Summarize all identified exceedances of (1) outfall-based stormwater monitoring data, (2) wet weather receiving water monitoring data, (3) dry weather receiving water data, and (4) non-stormwater outfall monitoring data against all applicable receiving water limitations, water quality-based effluent limitations, non- stormwater action levels, and aquatic toxicity thresholds (as defined in Sections XII.F and G of the MRP).

Cause or Contribute
Where Receiving Water Limitations were exceeded, a description of efforts that were taken to determine whether discharges from the MS4 caused or contributed to the exceedances shall be provided. The Group shall summarize all receiving water exceedances (as shown in Example Table 3); the Group shall also summarize monitoring results for all outfalls upstream of the receiving water monitoring site with an exceedance (Example Table 4). Any of the conditionally exempt non-stormwater discharges identified in Section 4.3 that are a source of pollutants that causes or contributes to an exceedance of applicable receiving water limitations and/or water quality-based effluent limitations shall be identified in this section.

Outfall Data
Additionally, outfall-based stormwater monitoring data will be compared to municipal action levels (MALs), and those sub watersheds with a running average of twenty percent or greater of exceedances of the MALs listed in Attachment G of the Permit in discharges of stormwater from the MS4 will be identified. All sample results that exceeded one or more applicable thresholds shall be identified (e.g. all outfalls exceeding receiving water limitations shall be summarized whether or not there is a downstream receiving water exceedance, as shown in Example Table 5).

Monitoring data for copper, lead, and zinc were evaluated against the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants TMDLs interim WQBELs for discharges to the freshwater Dominguez Channel during wet-weather. No exceedances were observed among the reported data.

On November 12, 2020, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) released Health Advisory And Guidelines for Eating Fish from Alondra Park Lake (Los Angeles County)23 due to PCB and Mercury contamination. This report and Fact Sheets may be found on the following pages. Based on the non- stormwater, rising groundwater derived discharge, through the undocumented connection between the Lake and Dominguez Channel, discovered on April 15, 2020, we suspect the lake may be a potential contributing source of many of the legacy pollutants identified within the Los Angeles Harbor Toxics TMDL and any receiving water monitoring required of the City of Gardena.

Along with most MS4 Permittees, the only commonly observed exceedance found by the City of Gardena Monitoring program continues to be the fecal indicator bacteria E. coli. This pollutant is unique in replicating and forming biofilms along drainage conveyance facility walls, in sediments, and in and of itself is normally harmless or even beneficial, however it can be indicative of the potential for fecal contamination from many organisms. In response to this Municipal Action Level (MAL) or Receiving Water Limitations (RWL) exceedance, the City of Gardena continues to more fully implement the MS4 Permit I/C inspection program and assess the need for better trash and grease controls within the City. Our initial efforts have identified a significant food service establishment educational need, that will be carried forward into the next permit cycle.

10.12 TMDL Provisions and WMP/EWMP Milestones: Report on progress towards achieving interim or final milestones, water quality-based effluent limitations, and receiving water limitations based on applicable compliance schedules in Attachments L-R of the LA County MS4 Permit and any additional milestones and corresponding deadlines in an approved WMP/EWMP.

TMDL reporting items required per the applicable schedules outlined in Attachment E, Section XIX.A through XIX.G of the Permit may be provided here or as an attachment to this report.

10.13 Efforts to Address Exceedances: The previous sections summarized all activities completed during the Reporting Year. This section shall be used to link the aforementioned activities to specific exceedances identified within the Reporting Year. The section may reference activities discussed within Section 7 and would also include the following:

• A description of efforts that were taken to address stormwater discharges that exceeded one or more applicable water quality based effluent limitations, or caused or contributed to Aquatic Toxicity. • Where Receiving Water Limitations were exceeded, a description of all efforts that were taken to control the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to those receiving waters in response to the exceedances. • For sub watersheds not part of a WMP or EWMP, and/or not subject to any TMDLs, where a running average of twenty percent or greater of exceedances of the MALs in any discharge of stormwater from the MS4 is present, a MAL Action Plan must be submitted with the Annual Report. Where applicable, the Action Plan should be included here.

The City of Gardena is exclusive of the Dominguez Channel Watershed Management Area Group CIMP.

Wet-weather aquatic toxicity samples collected on November 7, 2020 and December 28, 2020, and a dry- weather sample collected on July 29, 2020, passed both survival and reproduction bioassays.

10.14 CIMP Adaptive Management: This section shall be utilized to describe adaptive management of the CIMP and include:

• Identification of changes to any aspect of the CIMP (including changes to the non-stormwater outfall-based screening and monitoring program if changes are determined to be necessary during the one re-assessment required during the Permit term; indicate when the re-assessment was done or will be done); • Reason(s) for the change(s);
• Timeframe for implementing the changes; and
• Identification of those changes that require Regional Board Executive Officer approval

10.15 Information to Meet Additional Reporting Requirements Related to Monitoring: Results for monitoring of any pollutant more frequently than required by the Permit using approved test procedures, or another method specified in the Permit shall be reported here.

This section will also include:

a. A full laboratory report for each chronic toxicity test prepared according to the appropriate test methods manual chapter on Report Preparation, including:
i. The chronic toxicity test results for the t-test, reported as “Pass” or “Fail”, and the “Percent Effect”. ii. The dates of sample collection and initiation of each toxicity test. iii. Test species with biological endpoint values for each concentration tested. iv. Reference toxicant test results.
v. Water quality measurements for each toxicity test (e.g., pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, hardness, salinity, chlorine, ammonia).
vi. TRE/TIE testing results.
vii. A printout of CETIS (Comprehensive Environmental Toxicity Information System) program results. b. A map of all sample location(s), including separate TIE sample locations (if any).

As noted previously, all monitoring data and associated meta data used to prepare the Annual Report must be summarized in an Excel spreadsheet and sorted by watershed, subwatershed and monitoring station/outfall identifier linked to the subwatershed map. The data summary must include the date, sample type, (flow-weighted composite, grab, field measurement), sample start and stop times, parameters, analytical method, value, and units.

The City of Gardena is currently exclusive of any WMP/EWMP groups and currently has no recommendations regarding the effectiveness of runoff and pollutant control measures. The City continues to implement its MS4 Permit I/C facility inspection program and made sixty-nine Industrial General Permit (IGP) non-filer referrals to the LARWQCB during the past year.

Assess the effect of control measures implemented within the watershed and include the following:
• Identification of the most effective control measures and a description of why the measures were effective. • Identification of the least effective control measures and a description of why the measures were deemed ineffective.

The City of Gardena is currently exclusive of any WMP/EWMP groups and no milestone or endpoint objectives or dates have been identified.

In years where milestones as defined in the WMP/EWMP are included within the permit year, compare data collected from the CIMP with water quality endpoints as projected in the reasonable assurance analysis. Comparison may be captured in a table similar to the one presented below.

The City of Gardena is currently exclusive of any WMP/EWMP groups and currently has no recommendations regarding the effectiveness of runoff and pollutant watershed control measures (WCMs).

Describe changes to control measures, including the following (where applicable):

• For those control measures identified as least effective, describe how the control measures will be modified or replaced.
• Identification of significant changes to control measures during the prior year and the rationale for the changes.
• Description of all significant changes to control measures anticipated to be made in the next year and the rationale for the changes. Those changes requiring approval of the Regional Board or its Executive Officer shall be clearly identified at the beginning of the Annual Report. • The status of all multi-year efforts that were not completed in the current year and will continue into the subsequent year(s).
• Description of additional BMPs, including modifications to current BMPs that will be implemented to prevent or reduce any pollutants that are causing or contributing to the exceedances of receiving water limitations. • An implementation schedule for additional BMPs, including modifications to current BMPs that will be implemented to prevent or reduce any pollutants that are causing or contributing to the exceedances of receiving water limitations.
• Any modifications, including where appropriate, new compliance deadlines and interim milestones, with the exception of those compliance deadlines established in a TMDL, necessary to improve the effectiveness of the WMP/EWMP.

ES. Executive Summary

On November 6, 2018, a supermajority of Los Angeles County voters passed Measure W, the Los Angeles Region Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP)1, an impervious area-based special property tax, implemented as Chapters 16 and 18 of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) Code of Ordinances2.

While half (50%) of the SCWP revenues are used to fund Regional Projects and Programs3 and ten percent (10%) are allocated to the District to recoup incurred SCWP costs, the remaining forty percent (40%) is apportioned back to cities through the SCWP Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA)4.

On July 14, 2020, the City of Gardena City Council authorized, and Mayor Tasha Cerda signed, the SCWP MPTA between the LACFCD and City of Gardena, which the District countersigned on October 21, 2020.

The Fiscal Year 2020-21, City of Gardena, Annual (Budgeting) Plan was received by the LACFCD on January 27, 2021, and, on February 2, 2021, $811,389.80 was distributed to the City SCWP MPTA account for plan implementation, which will be reported upon in the Annual Progress/Expenditure Report that is due on December 31, 2021. Despite this recent transaction, the Fiscal Year 2021-22, City of Gardena, Annual (Budgeting) Plan, is due to the LACFCD on April 1, 2021, with the expectation that a disbursement of similar magnitude will occur by August 31, 2021. A revised SCWP MPTA should be ratified, during spring 2024, prior to expiration of the recently authorized agreement on June 30, 2024.

Seventy percent (70%) of the City MPTA support, or approximately $567,972.86 annually, is eligible for expenditures on projects and programs implemented, since passage of Measure W on November 6, 2018, to comply with State of California, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (LARWQCB) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase 1 Permit requirements. Up to thirty percent (30%) of the City SCWP MPTA funds, or $243,416.94 annually, may be applied towards maintenance of programs implemented before November 6, 2018.

These include street sweeping (vacuuming), water quality monitoring, and any unrecovered Industrial/ Commercial (I/C) facility inspection costs, which were incurred after Measure W passage and for which prior implementation records exist to demonstrate regulatory compliance. These expenditures will be subject to a reporting audit, at least once every three years, and posted on the District SCWP website.

Excluding the above three identified continuing programs, records indicate that implementation of other MS4 NPDES requirements began after November 6, 2018, when the City retained a new consultant.

Going forward, the City of Gardena will plan to expend over 70% of its annual SCWP MPTA revenue on new program implementation efforts initiated since Measure W passage, while the remainder will be applied to expansion or Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the continuing MS4 programs. Substantial new MS4 NPDES program costs are anticipated to result from the imminent LARWQCB adoption of the fifth term MS4 NPDES Permit, which is anticipated to identify an effective date of July 1, 2021.

1 1. Introduction

Precipitation universally integrates natural and anthropogenic pollution sources, with both eroding soils and automobiles being sources of metals, the homeless and wildlife releasing nutrients, bacteria and pathogens, and lightening, arsonists, and utilities all sparking brush fires that regionally spread mutagenic Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Initially evaporating and infiltrating, continued rainfall becomes runoff, starting as sheet flows and rivulets that coalesce and drain through a myriad of privately and publicly owned conveyances, from roof downspouts, to swales and street gutters, inlets and catch basins, storm drains, channels, and washes. Not surprisingly, it is often difficult to isolate pollutant sources and impairments, once various runoff sources confluence to form receiving waters.

The Porter-Cologne Act, California Water Code Section 7, was adopted by the state legislature in 1969 to protect the quality and beneficial uses of wetlands, surface and groundwaters, by regulating sources of pollution or impairment of those waters. It is implemented by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and nine (9) Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB), including the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), based on Water Quality Control, or Basin, Plans that contain the guiding policies of water quality, beneficial uses, and pollution management in California.

Similarly, the objectives of the Federal Water Pollution Control, or Clean Water, Act (CWA) of 1972 are to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters; recognizing state responsibility for addressing water pollution sources, while providing them with assistance to do so.

Partially due to intractable disagreements, regarding the regulation of point and non-point sources of pollution and their impact on stormwater and runoff quality, the CWA was amended in 1987, leading to the issuance of Phase I, or large, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits by Federal and State agencies, such as the LARWQCB.

These MS4 NPDES Permits impose challenging compliance requirements and water quality objectives on municipal and institutional dischargers, which Permittees have found costly to effectively implement.

Since 1990, through four “terms” or cycles, Permittees, such as the City of Gardena, have implemented the increasingly costly LARWQCB MS4 Phase I NPDES Permit utilizing scarce general fund expenditures; to the consternation of other program stakeholders that are equally dependent on those funds for support. Unfortunately, due to evolving regulations, challenging water quality goals objectives, and litigation, the increasing competition among these general fund stakeholders, shows no signs of abating.

After the 2013 deferral, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, of the Clean Beaches Clean Water Initiative, Los Angeles County Measure W, the Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP), was added to the November 6, 2018, general election ballot. This measure, which passed with over 66% of the vote, imposed a 2.5 cent, per impermeable square foot, annual parcel fee that was first collected with the October 2019 Los Angeles County Property Tax Assessment. While the SCWP website 5 contains more
history and information, forty percent of SCWP revenues are apportioned back to the MS4 Permittees and made accessible upon adoption of a Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA) with the LACFCD; followed by submission of a municipal Annual (budgeting) Plan that identifies how the support will be cost-effectively expended to achieve SCWP and MS4 Permit compliance goals and objectives.

2 2. SCWP Annual Plan Objectives and Content

As codified in Chapter 18, Section 9.B.5 of the LACFCD Code of Ordinances6, the City of Gardena SCWP MPTA Annual Plan shall identify and include anticipated activities, stakeholder engagement activities, an initial programmatic budget, and SCWP goals supported by the pl anned expenditures. These tasks are reiterated in Exhibit A of the City of Gardena SCWP MPTA and co mprise the reminder of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 City of Gardena SCWP MPTA Annual Plan. Due to delays in funding receipt, completion of proposed projects may stretch into future fiscal year periods; however, incremental progress toward their completion will be annually reported and expenditures aud ited following the MPTA schedule.

3. Description of SCWP MPTA Projects

In this section, the City of Gardena identifies and provides a brief description of SCWP MPTA funded projects, currently anticipated for implementation during the upcoming fiscal years. Chapter 16, Section

3.Y of the LACFCD Code of ordinances defines project as the development (including design, preparation
of environmental documents, obtaining applicable regulatory permits, construction, inspection, and similar activities), operation and maintenance (including monitoring), of a physical structure or facility that increases Stormwater or Urban Runoff capture or reduces Stormwater or Urban Runoff pollution in the District. The following summaries briefly characterize the proposed projects and how they contribute to the achievement of SCWP goals, including qualitative or quantitative water quality targets, metrics for assessing progress, and the future reporting of progress towards enumerating applicable parameters.

3.1 Statewide Trash Provisions Catch Basin Retrofit Project

On April 7, 2015, the SWRCB adopted Statewide Trash Provisions, leading the LARWQCB to issue a Water Code Section 13383 Investigative Order, dated August 18, 2017, directing the City of Gardena to identify how it would comply with them. In a November 20, 2017 reply, the City advised the LARWQCB of its intent to follow a Track 2 Trash Full Capture System Equivalency (FCSE) implementation strategy using an integrated and iterative combination of Full Capture Devices (FCD), treatment controls, multi-benefit Watershed Control Measures (WCMs), Public Advocacy and/or Institutional Control Assessments. The City Statewide Trash Provisions Implementation Assessment Plan, proposing to follow an iterative compliance attainment plan using SCWP MPTA support, was then submitted on February 19, 2019.

The City of Gardena proposes retrofitting four hundred (400), of its estimated 860, catch basins with FCD certified Connector Pipe Screens (CPS), based on an inspection and construction installation estimate of $1,000 per catch basin. Assuming continued compliance with requirement of the LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit to become effective on July 1, 2021, this project will target catch basins serving multifamily residential, commercial, and industrial priority land use areas. The project will be undertaken using $200,000 in Fiscal Year 2020-21 MPTA funds, that were received on February 2, 2021, and an equal amount of Fiscal Year 2021-22 MPTA funds, anticipated for receipt by August 31, 2021. The City offers to assess trash and sediment capture progress, using FCSE protection as a metric, by reporting the total number and percentage of intra-jurisdictional catch basins protected in each year’s SCWP MPTA Annual Progress/Expenditure Report, due on December 31, of each following Fiscal Year.

3 3.2 Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve Restoration Project

Although degraded by invasive and exotic plant species, the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve, located just northwest of Vermont Avenue and Artesia Boulevard, is one of the last remnants of the previously extensive, Dominguez Slough Wetlands. Maintained by Friends of the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve volunteers, the canyon is managed in an ongoing effort to restore and enhance native habitat, flora, and fauna. Members from the many diverse local communities periodically gather to remove trash, debris, and exotic or invasive plant species; allowing for the reintroduction and recruitment of native plants that support upland wetland habitat areas. Community outreach programs, including school tours, regularly educate the community about the natural history of the South Bay, ongoing restoration efforts aimed at improving the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve, and supporting the return of local beneficial uses.

Although the Willows Friends volunteers have accomplished much, the momentum of informal habitat restoration projects is often difficult to maintain and slowed by social and environmental perturbations.

In contrast, formal restoration projects often achieve significant initial restoration accomplishments, only to falter over the long run, allowing a return of prior, degraded, conditions. Fiscal Year 2020-21 project objectives were to support community recreation staff in assisting the Willows Friends and identify the potential for the alignment of their goals and objectives with those of the SCWP. Since these funds only became available in February, the efforts are ongoing and will be subsequently reported upon.

During Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City proposes to initiate a feasibility study with the goal of implementing water quality improvement measures in the degraded, but potentially wetland-like, canyon bottomlands.

While the majority of the uplands area would continue to be tended by the Wetland Friends, this area would be designed to accommodate and remediate runoff flows, while allowing heavier duty maintenance

4 in alternating areas on a multiyear schedule to prevent wetland overgrowth, excess pollutant uptake, and static water pools that might otherwise support vectors or other nuisance conditions. For the second SCWP MPTA fiscal year, quantitative targets would aim to assess pollutant capture and load reduction based on vegetation and sediment removal estimates, assuming that a common vision can be developed that allows active wetland management to achieve the water quality objectives of the SCWP MPTA.

4. Description of SCWP MPTA Programs

In this section the City of Gardena identifies and provides a brief description of SCWP MPTA funded programs, currently anticipated for implementation during the upcoming fiscal years. Chapter 16, Section

3.X of the LACFCD Code of ordinances defines program as a planned, coordinated group of activities related to increasing Stormwater or Urban Runoff capture or reducing Stormwater or Urban Runoff pollution in the District. The following summaries briefly characterize how the proposed programs will contribute to the achievement of one or more SCWP goals, including qualitative or quantitative targets, corresponding metrics for assessing progress, and subsequent reporting of applicable parameters.

4.1 Street Sweeping

The City of Gardena drains to the Dominguez Channel, estuary, and Greater Los Angeles Harbor carrying particulates and suspended solids that the Harbor Toxics Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) identified as sources of metals, mutagenic Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and legacy organochlorines. In 2019, the City of Gardena Public Works Department deployed High Efficiency Street (Vacuum) Sweepers, driven at reduced speeds, to increase trash, leaves, particulate and debris capture efficiency. Arterials are swept twice, while other streets and bike lanes are swept once, totaling approximately 210 curb miles per week, at a 2021-22 fiscal year budget of $250,000. While the City intends to continue reporting curb miles swept as its SCWP MPTA Annual Expenditure Report metric, following fifth term MS4 NPDES Permit adoption the City may determine that sediment capture would provide greater compliance credit data.

4.2 MS4 Permit and Monitoring Services Implementation Program

City of Gardena
Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP)
Municipal Transfer Program Agreement (MPTA)
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Plan

5 Following voter approval of Measure W on November 6, 2018, City of Gardena management determined its original MS4 NPDES Permit Water and Sediment Quality Monitoring Program to be inadequate and authorized collection of compliant wet-weather storm samples on November 22, 2018. The LARWQCB then provided the City with a baseline monitoring commencement approval letter, dated March 6, 2019.

During May 2019, an outfall inventory of open channel areas within the City of Gardena was completed and an observational database developed. Non-stormwater outfall screening occurred on June 7, 10, and 25, 2019, during which no significant discharges were observed, nor samples collected, thus allowing the City to successfully complete its first monitoring season by June 31, 2019. Relevant meta and analytical data were subsequently converted into California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) style format and submitted semi-annually to the LARWQCB along with Annual Reports.

The City seeks reimbursement for expenditures made in implementing this new monitoring, initiated after the November 6, 2018, SCWP effective date, along with expenditures for current monitoring and MS4 Permit program implementation efforts. Implementation of an effective Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) is critical to assesses the chemical, physical, and biological impacts of stormwater derived MS4 discharges on the Dominguez Channel receiving waters. If necessary, this data will be used to guide implement and assess compliance with TMDLs, wet- and dry-weather Waste Load Allocations (WLAs).

The metrics for implementation of this new SCWP MPTA supported program include events monitored, sample types collected, reports submitted, and NEL compliance demonstrating analytical data developed.

4.3 Fifth Term MS4 Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facility Inspections

Substantial new MS4 NPDES program costs are anticipated to result from LARWQCB adoption of the fifth term Permit, which is anticipated to have an effective date for July 1, 2021. With adoption of the fifth term Permit, the City will be required to conduct the first round of permit-required inspections, amounting to over 500 I/C inspections. During these inspections, the inspector assesses outdoor operations, materials and equipment storage, waste disposal, spill prevention, exposure coverage, hazardous or toxics material management, and recommends corrective actions for implementation. Furthermore, during these inspections, industrial and commercial facilities operators receive public outreach services regarding stormwater pollution source controls, enrollment in the Industrial General Permit (IGP), Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation, and education regarding non-stormwater discharge (NSWD) elimination, resulting in significantly improved discharges to the Dominguez Channel receiving water.

Minor issues, such as open trash receptacles, will be corrected during the inspection, while facilities that contribute to receiving water impairments, receive a follow-up inspection to ensure that recommended corrective actions and housekeeping BMPs have been fully implemented. When potential or actual violation are identified, such as illicit connection/illicit discharge (IC/ID), the violation is ordered immediately corrected. If not terminated, City Code Enforcement Officer are referred to the location, a citation issued, and legal action initiated, if warranted. The City has identified $100,000 for inspection and referral costs for industrial and commercial facilities within city jurisdiction. Metrics for this expenditure would be summarized as number of inspections conducted, number of LARWQCB referrals, and number of City Code Enforcement referrals.

4.4 Illicit Connection/Illicit Discharge (IC/ID) Elimination Program

The City has determined to continue the newly implemented IC/ID Elimination Program to detect and eliminate harmful discharges to, and from the MS4, and the Dominguez Channel and Estuary receiving City of Gardena
Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP)
Municipal Transfer Program Agreement (MPTA)
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Plan

6 waters. Whether reported to the 1-888-CLEANLA, City (310) 217-9642, or “Gardena Direct” website, trained Environmental Scientists will be promptly dispatched to the discharge source location to assess, abate, and remediate as necessary contaminated flows, then provide public education and outreach materials to prevent, or at least discourage, future discharges. For innocuous discharges, staff educate the dischargers regarding the MS4 Permit and Gardena Municipal Code, while problematic discharges, capable of adversely affecting the environment, results in a Code Enforcement referrals and Notice of Violation (NOV) or citation issuance. The LACFCD may also notified when potential hazardous material discharges entering the MS4 of receiving waterbody.

The City is also providing annual IC/ID training to staff and contractors whom, as part of their duties, may be notified of, or observe IC/ID discharge to MS4. The training session addresses regulatory backgrounds, permitted and unpermitted NSWDs, field standard operating procedures, and how to respond to a reported IC/ID. As shown in
City of Gardena
Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP)
Municipal Transfer Program Agreement (MPTA)
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Plan

7 Table 9-1, the concluding budget table, the expenditures and metric objectives for this program are modest. Following receipt of the SCWP MPTA funds, training and staff outreach would begin. IC/ID response investigations would be tallied and inserted into a tracking database formulated to comply with the requirements of the draft of final fifth term LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit. Assuming limited call outs during the winter, during the spring, proactive IC/ID scouting and response actions would be undertaken, resulting in final metrics that include discharges abated, educational opportunities exploited, and hours or miles spend scouting for unpermitted discharges.

5. Description of SCWP MPTA O&M Activities

SCWP MPTA funds may be expended to support O&M activities that ensure stormwater structural and non-structure BMPs continue to function properly and yield anticipated water quality and environmental benefits. Due to its relatively impervious soils and extent of commercial areas, there have been relatively few BMPs implemented in the City of Gardena, however the City anticipates that SCWP MPTA support will soon begin changing that legacy characteristic of the area.

5.1 Catch Basin Trash Assessment and Maintenance

The City of Gardena has approximately 860 catch basins owned by various agencies including the LACFCD, Caltrans, and the City. For proper drainage, unprotected and CPS/FCSE retrofitted catch basins should be inspected, visually assessed for pollution prevention stencil condition, trash policy compliance status, blockage or obstructions, debris accumulation, or potential indications of IC/ID discharges.

Following the visual inspection, trash and debris content will be estimated at percent full, then removed using a vacuum truck or by hand. Based on an estimated assessment and cleaning cost of $35 per unit, the estimated budget for catch basin cleaning is $27,300, with additional contingency budget allocated for placement or replacement of worn pollution prevention stenciling and data collection.

6. SCWP Funded Community Engagement

The City of Gardena has historically educated its business and residential communities, regarding urban and stormwater runoff pollution (including sanitary sewer system overflows, car wash fundraiser BMPs, landscaping, fertilizing, pesticide application, other gardening tips, household tips for pollution prevention, and proper disposal of household hazardous waste source controls), through informational webpages, in both English and Spanish, at: http://www.cityofgardena.org/stormwater-management-program/. During the 2020-21 fiscal year, outreach materials were developed and distributed to specific businesses to prevent stormwater pollution.

6.1 SCWP Community Goals and Objectives Development

Except for working with Friends of the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve, where the potential for project development has already been proposed, local environmental Non-Governmental and Community Based Organizations (NGOs & CBOs) have been significantly drawn to other areas, such as local beaches, partially due to the dense level of development within the City. The City would attempt to develop new environmentally focused outreach opportunities, such as involving local birdwatcher at the mouth of the Estuary, who might then also be willing to collect trash and debris following storm events. Alternatively, City of Gardena
Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP)
Municipal Transfer Program Agreement (MPTA)
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Plan

8 local NGO or CBO members may guide the City in undertaking SCWP MPTA expenditures with the objective of seeking grant support for large projects at Nas Fukai or Rowley Parks, adjacent to regional storm drains, and smaller projects that are compatible with the goals and objectives of the SCWP.

The metrics from which to assess the success to this proposed outreach effort would include community participation (sign-up sheets) at meetings and presentation aimed at identifying regional, structural, or non-structural BMP concepts for local consideration to support the attainment of SCWP objectives.

7. Monitoring of SCWP MPTA Projects

Monitoring results from continued implementation of the Water and Sediment Quality Program would annually be reported as CEDEN data files within the City of Gardena MS4 NPDES Permit compliance Annual Report submitted to the state and attached to future SCWP MPTA Expenditure Reports. Catch Basin Trash Assessment O&M Monitoring would follow the format of similar Regional Trash TMDL reporting formats and be attached to future SCWP MPTA Annual Expenditure Reports.

8. Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure Status

The SCWP MPTA projects currently identified for implementation by the City of Gardena, are unsuitable for Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) assessment or scoring and preparation of the assessment package would deflect budget from achieving narrow and more water quality focused project objectives.

9. SCWP MPTA Proposed Fiscal Year Budget

This second City of Gardena SCWP MPTA Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Plan anticipates a budget transfer of $811,389.90 from the LACFCD SCWP to the City of Gardena. Table 9-1 summarizes the proposed programmatic expenditures, including the recovery of recent Cit y of Gardena expenditures for continuing projects and programs, implemented to further the stormwater qu ality protection goals and objectives of Measure W, the SCWP, which was approved by the Voters of Los An geles County on November 6, 2018.

Adjustment in these proposed expenditures may be necessary due to the final execution of the SCWP MPTA and submittal of this Annual Plan within CoViD-19 induced constraints.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program Management Services

Dear Kevin Kwak,

For many firms, stormwater management is a sideline niche; however, CWE was founded specifically to provide specialized National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) services to public agencies, and our clients trust us to initiate and complete complex stormwater planning assessments, even when no precedent exists. We have developed and implemented comprehensive stormwater management programs for over 50 Southern California municipalities, many of whom are within Los Angeles County limits that require extensive coordination with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Our extensive expertise in stormwater management and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit compliance is the foundation upon which our civil, environmental, and water resource practices were built. CWE would be honored to serve the City of Gardena (City) using our MS4 Permit compliance expertise, along with attending to and supporting the City’s many industrial and commercial business owners and operators in complying with complex and confusing MS4 Permit regulatory and reporting requirements.

CWE submits this proposal as our continued commitment to providing the leadership and resources necessary to promote timely and responsive services that benefit your City and community – so that we are Creating A Better Tomorrow, Today™ together. We look forward to maintaining our strong relationship with the City and welcome the opportunity to further discuss our qualifications. We acknowledge receipt of all addenda. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at (714) 526-7500 Ext. 211 or [email protected].

Proposal to Provide
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program Management Services

Creating a Better Tomorrow, Today.™

1. Scope of Services Methodology and
Understanding

Four years ago, the City of Gardena Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program was at a crossroads. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) had deemed the Draft City Individual Watershed Management Program (IWMP) Plan irreparably deficient and rescinded its conditional approval of the Draft Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP) Plan. The 112-page United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Gardena MS4 NPDES Permit Program audit documented numerous “areas of concern” as a foundation for future enforcement. In 2017, the LARWQCB had directed the City to preform required baseline water and sediment quality monitoring, however, during the following year, no analytical laboratory reports were provided. These actions resulted in LARWQCB issuance of a $714,885 Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) complaint, against the City, for violations of the 2012 Los Angeles County MS4 NPDES Permit.

Senior City management approached CWE and Senior Project Manager Dr. Gerald Greene, who met with City and LARWQCB staff to identify a subset of MS4 NPDES Permit actions, for priority implementation, to demonstrate the City’s commitment to improved and Dominguez Channel receiving and outfall water quality. The City and CWE implemented these priority assignments, assisted City staff in regaining LARWQCB confidence and were rewarded by having the ACL complaint revoked. Since then, CWE has annually expanded the City’s MS4 NPDES Permit Program compliance efforts, generally within the prior year’s budget, as our emphasis has shifted from initial, to ongoing, compliance task implementation.

Going forward, we recommend that the City identify and collect the foundational information necessary to making a decision about whether to join the Dominguez Channel Watershed Management Program (DC WMP) Group or continue with baseline MS4 NPDES permit implementation. In either case, CWE would appreciate the opportunity to continue providing the full breadth of these needed services.

Administration

Dr. Gerald Greene will be the assigned CWE Program Manager and City Staff Point of Contact. He will meet and inform City Staff of federal, state and regional regulatory initiatives, such as the proposed Dominguez Channel Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Residual Designation Authority (CII-RDA) Permit. As stated in the City Request For Proposals (RFP), he will provide the City with written quarterly reports regarding program implementation status, critical dates, actions items, and recommendations.

CWE will continue to review program implementation, recommend revisions, and assess both annual and long-term City compliance strategies. Quarterly, we will orally update the Program Manager regarding baseline or WMP Permit compliance implementation, interdepartmental coordination, environmental monitoring, and reporting recommendations, unless directed to provide written summaries.

On three dates, to be determined, CWE will document and provide required MS4 NPDES Permit training, to responsible City staff and contractors, regarding 1) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE); 2) Stormwater Planning, Plan Checking, and Construction Inspection; and 3) Industrial/ Commercial (I/C) Facilities Program. Our informative, educational, and stimulating Microsoft PowerPoint ® presentations are
accompanied by relevant handouts, weblinks, and include sign in or attendance documentation sheets.

After being granted remote access and acclimated to the City NPDES Program folder strategy, CWE will regularly update those folders with pertinent permit compliance related documents. CWE recently City of Gardena

updated the City Public Education and Outreach materials, which are distributed during inspection visits and are posted on the City website (https://cityofgardena.org/stormwater-management-program/). As warranted by permit requirements, City needs, and resources, these materials shall be updated.

While we have previously noted municipal codes sections for revision, further action was delayed pending adoption of the 2021 LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit, which became effective on September 11, 2021.

Following our assessment of City enforcement programs effectiveness, CWE will assist in development of relevant draft ordinances, for City Council adoption, to maintain Permit required municipal enforcement authorities. Over the last four years, CWE has used the existing enforcement program to issue over 120 Notice of Violation (NOV) and make LARWQCB State Industrial General Permit (IGP) referrals, alleviating the City of responsibility for those violators, while retaining credit for eliminating their discharges.

Despite limited and conflicting resource information, CWE has successfully submitted the City MS4 NPDES Permit Annual Compliance and Semi-Annual Monitoring Data Reports for four years. Our intent would be to use the revised Los Angeles County Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPS II) module, assuming City collection of the required project and reporting data. Semi-Annual monitoring and (June) progress reporting is not in the RFP and would be provided as optional services.

Working with City staff, we developed and timely submitted the City Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA) Annual (Budget) Plans and (Expenditure) Report; finding an additional $400K in recoverable expenses, an amount one third higher than our current City contract.

Preparation of a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD), or a permit renewal application, is a once per term, or decade, task that will be due to the LARWQCB on March 11, 2026. The CWE Program Manager has submitted several ROWDs, as municipal and consultant staff, as a basis for negotiation and prioritization.

Gardena is one, of only two, LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permittees implementing the Statewide Trash Policy reported to be following a Track 2 approach; despite implementing Track 1 methods for nearly a decade.

City staff recently asked CWE to divert contract resources to complete an Implementation Plan Study and Track change letter for LARWQCB review and approval. In addition to developing policy and procedures to achieve permit objectives, CWE has identified the Dominguez Channel Toxics Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB) objectives as the regulatory drivers for a estimated $160M in project needs. CWE recently delivered the City facility and activity inventory, with over 20,000 Geographic Information System (GIS)-based records and attributes suitable for recording maintenance and permit compliance data. CWE has collaboratively secured over $80M, of which the Program Manager is responsible for $21M, in stormwater related grants for several MS4 Permittees. While always targeting grant opportunities, CWE must limit our commitment to assisting the City with one application per year.

Industrial/Commercial Facilities Inspection Program

Focusing on an LARWQCB Chair, Board Staff, and USEPA Audit Areas of Concern, CWE implemented the City MS4 NPDES Permit Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facilities Program, by developing a compliant, GIS- based, tracking database, industry specific inspection notification letters, and inspection template forms for City approval. The database was initially populated with about 150 prior non-compliant inspection records, to which we appended applicable City Business License records, after curating the 40% with diverging Business Name, Primary Business Activity (PBA), Standard Industry Classification (SIC), or North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) data, while providing data revision to City staff.

State Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tacking System (SMARTS) IGP records, including State inspections that reduced City costs, were added resulting in a 1,000 record “universe” tracking database.

City of Gardena

Creating a Better Tomorrow, Today.™
Among the SMARTS data were 160 facilities located in adjacent jurisdictions, while having Gardena US Postal Service Zip Codes, that the state attributed to the City for enforcement purposes. These were isolated into a separate database by jurisdiction and subsequent state enforcement referrals returned with the correct jurisdiction identified. As required by the permit, over 120 facilities were referred to the LARWQCB, for enrollment, as IGP Non-fillers. A similar number were found to be duplicate, or closed, facility records and a smaller number incorrectly identified as potential MS4 Permit I/C facilities, resulting in their SIC code being revised. The January cumulative database, included over 1,700 inspection records, for over 700 facilities, along100 City Resolution 6166 inspection cost recovery records.

CWE will annually inspect half of the 510 commercial and 210 IGP Notice of Intent (NOI) industrial MS4 NPDES Permit facilities, while about 20 percent of the IGP No Exposure Certification (NEC) facilities would be inspected per year as required by the Permit. Inspection of IGP Non-Filers, previously referred to the LARWQCB, will occur after IGP enrollment to avoid interfering with State actions. Inspections will be professionally performed using digital cameras, binders containing CASQA BMP cutsheets and other references, and the City approved, category specific, inspection forms which include watershed pollutants of concern. The completed forms will be reviewed, scanned, and archived. along with the digital images, then the cumulative City I/C Facility Program Tracking database updated. A “City2Invoice” database of inspections performed, to facilitate cost recovery under City Resolution 6166, and the cumulative tracking database would be electronically delivered quarterly, with the MS4 NPDES Permit I/C Facility Program digital archive delivered annually in June. Should Follow up inspections be required, they would normally occur within four weeks of the prior inspection, unless warranted by specific circumstances. After the initial inspection, two follow up Outreach, and two follow-up compliance inspections may be necessary, potentially resulting in the issuance of two letter Notices of Violation (NoV), normally issued by CWE on City Letterhead, with a concluding LARWQCB referral, with supporting documents, as a recalcitrant MS4 NPDES Permit I/C facility. Newly identified IGP Non-Filer facilities would be referred to the LARWQCB after an initial Outreach and follow up NoV referral inspection.

Development Construction Program

City staff changes, and CWE emphasis on implementing LARWQCB priorities, has resulted in Community Development retaining primary responsibility for the MS4 NPDES Permit Planning, Land Development, and Construction Programs. CWE provided the City with a Microsoft Excel ® Construction Site and BMP
Inventory Tracking Database template and annually solicited MS4 Permit required Annual Report ing data.

To “jumpstart” this program and improve compliance reporting, CWE staff downloaded applicable CGP data from the State Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS); however, this effort was not represented as a replacement for the identified MS4 Permit elements and programs.

CWE has designed dozens of public and private MS4 Permit compliant Priority Development and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, provided hundreds of LID and Water Quality Management Program (WQMP) plan checks, and thousands of CGP implementation inspections, primarily for tightly regulated regional utilities. We are fully prepared to provide the RFP identified level of guidance and assistance to City staff in initiating implementation of these crucial for compliance MS4 NPDES Permit Programs.

Illicit Connection and Illicit Discharge (IC/ID) Elimination Program

While performing environmental monitoring and I/C Facility inspections for the City, CWE has identified and reported, for City staff investigation, several illicit discharges, in one case investigating and collecting City of Gardena
Proposal to Provide

Creating a Better Tomorrow, Today.™
water quality samples for an active discharge that was significantly impacting the Dominguez Channel.

CWE has solicited the City for IC/ID electronic tracking and reporting data as required for inclusion in the MS4 NPDES Permit Annual Report, while alternatively utilizing our own data, observations, and reports.

As characterized in the City RFP, CWE will evaluate, assess, and verify that the existing City policies, procedures, tracking, and reporting practices conform with the renamed Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program identified in the 2021 LARWQCB Regional MS4 NPDES Program. The Outfall Inventory and Non-stormwater discharge programs are CIMP/Environmental Monitoring elements. This program is also partially addressed as an element of the Administrative Training Program Element.

Implement Integrated Monitoring Program

Following LARWQCB recission of the Conditionally Approved City Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP), CWE was authorized by City staff to negotiate with LARWQCB staff to define and implement a Baseline Monitoring Program, which we have timely and very successfully completed for four consecutive years.

Since development of a Monitoring Program Plan by March 10, 2023, for LARWQCB review and approval, was not included in the RFP, we assume the City intends to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Dominguez Channel WMP Group for Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) Plan revision and implementation. CWE proposes to provide continuing July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, baseline environmental monitoring services only and assume DC CIMP implementation by July 1, 2023.

The other RFP tasks, were either completed under the 2012 MS4 NPDES Permit, and delivered to the City, or, for the 2021 MS4 NPDES Permit, should be undertaken following LARWQCB review and approval of the DC WMP Group CIMP and be most cost-effectively addressed in the context of that effort.

Statewide Trash Amendments Submittal

The City is nearly unique in having selected to implement the Statewide Trash Policy using a Track 2 approach, exposing it to a potentially costly and iterative LARWQCB approval processes. Our current City contract included preparing the RFP identified jurisdictional maps, however on January 26, 2022, we were directed to draft a Track Change and Implementation Study letter for LARWQCB review and approval. Anticipating that this effort can be completed under the current contract and that the City is planning to use SCWP MPTA support for Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) construction, CWE only proposes to the annually update the priority land uses, full capture installations, and storm drain network.

Adaptive Management Process Submittal

Since the City is not a part of a LARWQCB approved WMP group, submission of an Adaptive Management Process (AMP) Plan is not required and should be addressed within an MOA if it becomes necessary.

Therefore, CWE will not be including this currently unnecessary task in our proposal or budget.

Load Reduction Strategy Implementation Assistance

While CWE has suggested that the City consider aggressive bacteria control strategies, it is not part of the Los Angeles River Watershed or development and implementation of a Load Reduction Strategy; therefore, we will not be including this currently unnecessary task in our proposal or budget.

Reasonable Assurance Analysis Update

To the best of our knowledge, the City has never provided a Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA) to the LARWQCB for review and approval and should the City join the DC WMP group a revised RAA would be required; therefore, CWE will not be including this currently unnecessary task in our proposal or budget.

Report of Waste Discharge Preparation and Submittal

Permittees, as groups or individuals, must submit a permit renewal application or Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) to the LARWQCB by March 10, 2026. Our once a decade experience is that the Board arbitrarily declares ROWDs to be inadequate or adequate, for judicial reasons, and then enrolls the reporting Permittee in the next Regional Permit, since Board staff do not want to go through the slow and difficult process of approving multiple MS4 NPDES Permits. CWE will propose to draft, or contribute to, a City ROWD, based on past reporting requirements, subject to renegotiation should the Board substantially deviate from past ROWD practices.

Perform Additional As‐Needed NPDES Services

CWE has either previously provided the identified as-needed services to the City, included them in a task item above, or provided similar services to another LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permittee. We have also previously redirected, under-utilized contract budget, to assist the City in provide additional services that were not requested or insufficiently defined for inclusion in our prior letter proposals. Assisting the City in maintaining MS4 NPDES Permit compliance has always been our highest objective, even when the City has not yet been ready to adopt the implementation priorities that CWE has recommended.

City Responsibilities

To update City NPDES Program folders, CWE would need to be provided remote server or VPN access along with introduction to the City folder management strategy. City staff would retain primary responsibility for City Council Resolution 6166 regarding inspection invoicing and payment tracking. City staff will need to suggest potential training dates and provide access, whereby field staff may attend training presentations. We understand that the City intends to reclaim responsibility for Business License and Senate Bill 205 representation within the MS4 Permit I/C Facility Program tracking database. The RFP requests guidance and assistance with Development Construction Program elements and CWE has offered a minimal task effort and budget, assuming the city will retain primary responsibilities. Plan Check and similar program services, required for 2021 MS4 NPDES Permit Semi-annual Reporting, would be provided as needed for an additional fee. The City is assumed to retain responsibility for joining the Dominguez Channel WMP Group, implementing baseline Permit conditions not requested in this proposal, and directing analysis of City planning and implementation strategies. City will retain responsible for providing and accuracy of MS4 Permit Annual Reporting data in WRAMPS II. City will print educational materials used for public and business outreach. Meetings with the City Program Manager and other permit stakeholders will normally be conducted remotely. The City of Gardena will be responsible for permit required TIE/TRE bioassay analyses costs, which have been unnecessary during the past four years of water quality monitoring.

2. Potential Challenges

Having successfully navigated past the enforcement and litigation crossroads, as characterized in the introduction to the Scope of Services first proposal section, the City of Gardena is fast approaching a more challenging fork in its road to MS4 NPDES Permit implementation and compliance. The City can continue with baseline permit implementation, where compliance is assessed based on the attainment of Basin Plan Water Quality Objectives (WQOs) otherwise known as Receiving Water Limitations (RWLs) and Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs), or be included in a Watershed Management Program (WMP) Plan. Once an individual or group WMP Plan is drafted and approved by the Regional Board, permit compliance is initially assessed based on timely implementation of costly projects and BMPs, then, after the passage of approved TMDL deadlines and WMP Plan completion, the attainment of WQOs.

Since the initial City effort to develop an Individual WMP (IWMP) Plan was unsuccessful, the LARWQCB would likely reject a proposal to revisit that effort; although they might be persuaded by referencing the changes resulting from SWRCB Own Motion Order WQ-20202-0038, adopted on November 17, 2020, and LARWQCB Regional Permit, adopted on July 22, 2021. These Board orders constrain the RAA and WMP preparation process, which typically costs between $250 and $500 thousand to undertake, and project cost commitments in a City WMP Plan would likely mirror those for the City in a Dominguez Channel WMP Plan. All WMP plans were resubmitted on June 30, 2021, for LARWQCB review and approval, and substantial Board comments are expected during the last week of February. At the request of Gardena staff, on August 3, 2021, CWE extrapolated from the June 2021 Dominguez Channel, and other, WMP Plans to conjecture a potential City WMP project cost estimate of $80M over twenty years, with a more likely construction cost estimate of $160M over the same duration. This cost could be reduced if the nearly two hundred State Industrial General Permit (IGP) Non-Filers identified by CWE, were considered in the RAA, however LARWQCB IGP enrollment has been slow. During March, when the Dominguez Channel RAA and WMP are revised, the City might cost-effectively ask to be included in the formal RAA and WMP analysis, to guide City implementation strategy determination and either join the Dominguez Channel WMP Group, developing a Gardena WMP Plan, or continue with baseline permit compliance .

As set forth in Part III.D.1.b of 2021 MS4 NPDES Permit Attachment E, the City must develop and submit an Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP) Plan, or join the Dominguez Channel WMP Group in submitting a revised Coordinated IMP (CIMP) for LARWQCB approval, by no later than March 11, 2023. Since the RFP did not include this requirement, our proposal assumes one reporting year of continued LARWQCB directed or baseline monitoring, from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, with implementation of the Board approved City IMP or Dominguez Channel WMP Group, and Gardena, CIMP to begin on July 1, 2023.

Similarly, our proposal assumes that the Outfall Inventory Update, Water and Suspended Sediment Monitoring, Non-stormwater Outfall Discharge Screening, Significant Flow Monitoring, and Significant Non-stormwater Flow Investigations would be most cost-effectively implemented as a component of the Dominguez Channel WMP Group CIMP Plan, following approval by the LARWQCB Executive Officer.

Likewise, this CWE proposal assumes that the City intends to negotiate with the DC WMP Group for submission of environmental monitoring data in California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) style format and for annual submission of the June Implementation Progress Report.

Three regulations, one with several subcategories, drive the pollutant source control and compliance analysis for the Dominguez Channel Watershed and the City of Gardena in particular. Trash is regulated under the State Trash Policy, as it is translated into the LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit, and the City has City of Gardena

identified a rational Full Capture System (FCS) Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) construction project, with implementation schedule and SCWP MPTA funding source, to substantially control the discharge of this pollutant category. Escherichia coli, or E. coli, which is often designated as a Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB) when establishing TMDL, is an especially recalcitrant MS4 pollutant, replicating as bio-slimes that coat and sloughs from sediments and MS4 conveyances. While the DC WMP Plan proposed a final compliance target date of 2040 for bacteria and need not report WQO exceedances as incidents of non- compliance, assuming that WMP project implementation is on schedule, the City must annually report exceedances of receiving WQO and outfall discharges that could be found to have caused or contributed to the exceedance. The most challenging regulation is the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants TMDL, summarized in Part II of Attachment P to the LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit. Gardena mostly discharges to the freshwater portion of the channel, above Vermont Avenue, however this channel, and a small portion of eastern Gardena, discharges into the estuary. The TMDL identifies impairments for metals, Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and legacy organochlorine pesticides, in the water column, sediment, and fish tissue.

The current monitoring program has frequently detected metals and PAHs, mostly below interim TMDL concentrations; however, a decade from now, on March 23, 2032, the final WQO become effective and metal WQO will drop to as little as 5% of the current values, due to low hardness values and standards in the California Toxic Rule (CTR). We strongly recommend that the City cooperate and support initiating Copper and Zinc Biotic Ligand Model (BLM), and Lead Recalculation, Site Specific Objective (SSOs) studies, which will likely take five to ten years to complete and approve through the regulatory process.

After repeatedly losing a suit brought by Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and LARWQCB, recently proposed to newly implement a Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Residual Designation Authority (CII-RDA) Permit for the Los Cerritos and Dominguez Channel Watersheds. Although currently proposed for large, multiacre, parcels and targeting metals, specifically Copper and Zinc, the workshop proposal would require a new class of Permittees to capture the design, or approximately one inch, design runoff rationale or prove that the runoff meets proposed WQOs through water quality monitoring. Unfortunately, the permit would likely be precedential, and the needs rationale easily extrapolated to address any recalcitrant impairment, such as bacteria from residential or food service facilities. Since the contents, impacts, and implementation schedule of this permit have not yet been published, in even a draft format, we consider this proposed regulation to be challenge beyond the currently requested Scope of Work.

Despite multiple requests for MS4 NPDES Permit required annual implementation and reporting data, response to some data requests have not been forthcoming from some City Departments and the CWE Program Manager has redirected remaining contract budget, with Project Manager authorization, to improve the perceive level of compliance reporting. To continue providing this accommodative level of assistance service will become an increasing challenge, or impossibility, within the proposal budget.

The RFP did not identify scope, or level of effort, for meetings, other than with the City Project Manager, which we have assumed is intentional. We are therefore assuming that the challenge of negotiating with LARWQCB, SWRCB, and other stakeholders will remain with the City Project Manager. Information distribution through, and participation at, the Los Angeles Permit Group, Dominguez Channel WMP Group, and other regulatory and reporting meetings will remain the primary challenge of the City MS4 NPDES Program Manager. Should the City of Gardena require additional out of scope services, CWE would willingly negotiate to provide those services on an On-Call, Time and Materials, or Not to Exceed basis as agreed upon in advance with the City Project Manager or their responsible delegate.

City of Gardena MS4 NPDES Permit I/C Inspection Services CWE has been providing the City of Gardena with increasing levels of Los Angeles RWQCB Coastal Los Angeles County Phase I MS4 NPDES Permit services. After being confronted by the Los Angeles RWQCB, regarding irregular and incomplete consultant provided monitoring data, the city approached CWE to review their monitoring and MS4 Permit I/C Facility Inspection Programs. After conferring with Board staff to preclude conflicts for our ongoing clients, CWE prepared an initial compliance assessment of these programs, updated City Management on our findings, and, on short notice, assumed responsibility for their implementation. After again conferring with Board staff, CWE successfully completed water and suspended sediment quality monitoring at the three sites only to have the State and Regional Board issue a $714,985 Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) enforcement action for the prior reporting irregularities, while noting potential maximum statutory liabilities of over $12,000,000. Despite this, CWE continued to provide permitting, interagency negotiations, dry-weather monitoring, outfall inventory, non-stormwater discharge assessment, annual reporting, many hundreds of MS4 I/C inspections, scores of Industrial General Permit (IGP) non-filer referrals, and submission of a State Trash Policy Implementation Plan to the Los Angeles RWQCB. After which and despite apparently successful City initiated litigation against the state, the ACL

was rescinded. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2020-21, and despite pandemic caused constraints on the City budget, CWE will begin providing the full gamut of 2012 MS4 Permit services and assist the City in planning for cost-effective implementation of the fifth term MS4 NPDES Permit this year.

City of Glendora NPDES and Water Quality Administration CWE provided NPDES Permit and Water Quality Administration services to assist the City of Glendora with the Los Angeles County MS4 Permit, Construction General Permit (IGP), IGP, and General Permit for Drinking Water System Discharges.

The Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid received and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective bids received.

A mathematically unbalanced bid is one containing lump sum or unit bid items which do not reflect reasonable actual costs plus a reasonable proportionate share of the bidder’s anticipated profit, overhead costs, and other indirect costs, which he/she anticipates for the performance of the items in question.

“A bid is mathematically unbalanced if the bid is structured on the basis of nominal prices for some wo rk and infla ted prices for other work; t hat i s, each ele ment of the bid must carry its proportionate share of the total cost of the work plus profits.”

“A bid is materially unbalanced if there is a reasonable doubt that award to the bidder submitting the mathematical ly unbalanced bid will r esult in the lowes t ultimate cost to the Government.

Consequently, a materially unbalanced bid may not be accepted.”

Professi onal integrity and honesty of purpose shall be essential requirements. A showing of adequate financi al resources may be required but will not alone determine whether a bidder is competent to undertake the proposed work.

O
nly manufacturers or contractors of established reputation, or their duly authorized dealers or agency, having proper facilities for the manufacture of the materials or equipment and for servicing same, or for proper execution of the work called for in the contract, will be considered in making the award.

1-7.6 Execution of Co ntract. A bidder whose proposal is accepted shall properly s ign a written contract with the Ag ency on the form attached hereto and return said contra ct together with good and approved bonds and insurance certificates as required by the Contr act Documents within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the mailing of a notice from the Agency to the bidder, according to the address given by him, of acceptance of his proposal.

If a bidder whose proposal is accepted fails or refuses to enter into a contra ct a s herein provided, or to conform to any stipulated requi rement in connection therewith, the money represented by his check or bidder’s bond shall be refunded less the difference between the low bid and the bid of the bidder with whom the Agency enters into an agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Public Contracts Co de Sec tion 20174.

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL IN CONNECTION WITH THE

DEMOLITION OF THE SITE BUILDINGS

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

A. The Site consists of 1 acres of land, formerly developed as a pool compl ex and 2-two story residential houses. The City of Gardena is proposing to redevelopment the Site for recreational Aquatic and Senior C enter. The Center is proposed to include a range of facilities including a recre ational pool, se nior community center with outdoor exerci se and picnic areas.

The Site is curr ently developed with 2 -two story family resid ences and associated structures (garages, etc.), two pool house structures, and two garages.

SCS Engineers (SCS) has conducted the foll owing as sessment and subsurface assessment activities at the Site:

The Hazardous Materials Survey and the Hazardous Materials Abatement Specifications are discussed in the various sections below.

1.2 SUMMARY

A. This project shall i nvolve the demol ition of Site buildings ( see demolition drawings and specifications) and the proper management of wastes generate d during the process. So me of the wastes generated during the process may be hazardous or contai n hazar dous components. These hazardous wastes , as defined by all feder al, state, and l ocal regulations, shall be properly managed as specified in Part 3 of th is document. Proper managem ent of hazardous wastes

TP-6
includes bu t is not limited to sampling, testing, packaging, labeling, stor age, containment, and disposal.

1.3 HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

A. As indicated in Section 1.1 above, elevated concentration s of various toxins the potential that demolition contractors may be exposed to elevated concentrations of any kno wn or unk nown Haz Mat, and in general accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1000, the following OSHA requirements must be followed.

1. Because there i s a potential that demolition workers may be exposed to elevated concentrations of CoCs, until a Negative Exposure Assessment (NEA) is established by the demolition contractors industri al hygi enist (discussed below), the demolition contractor shall require Site workers to wear proper Perso nal Protective Equipment (PPE) including, but not limited to an appropr iate respirator, Tyvek s uit, protective gloves, hard hats, steel toed boots, etc . In add ition, a hand w ashing station shall be provided.

2. Personnel monitoring (air mo nitoring and analysis for organoc hlorine pesticides) must be conducted on demolition workers until laboratory analysis indicates that the workers are not exposed to concentrat ions of organochlorine pesticides above the Per missible Exposure Levels (PELs) established by OSHA.

3. Personnel monitoring and PPE can be discontinu ed when the demol ition contractor’s industrial hygienist can demonstr ate, through statistically reliable methods, that the workers are not being exposed to organochlorine pesticide concentration above the PELs.

4. It i s the responsibility of the demoli tion contractor to decontaminate demolition equipment potentially contaminated with CoC’s using at a minimum a wash station with a gravel pad, prior to leaving the Site.

5. Based on t he potential for exposure to elevated concentrations of toxi c materials, the demolition contractor m ust comply with 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication S tandard) and CCR Section 8. As indicate d in the above-referenced standards, the demoliti on contractor is responsible for implementing a Medical Monitoring Plan and R espiratory Protection Plan for pesticide residues in compliance wi th California and Federal OSHA requirements and good occupational medical practices.

6. In accordance with the Hazardous Communication Standard, the demolition contractor shall provide training for Site workers that complies with the standard. Training m ust include the specific health effects of exposure to organochlorine pesticides, respiratory protection, and PP E assessment.
