Staff is looking at a 10-year financial outlook for the water fund and will work on bringing this item before the Council for adoption of the new five year rate plan in the next couple of months.
The City has applied for SRF Loan funding for a City water meter system replacement project.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
The City is currently partnering with 23 other Phase II agencies to address the State orders received to comply with the CV Pyrethroid TMDL and Baseline stormwater quality monitoring requriements. This new requirement is looking at the affects of pyrethroid pesticides that enter the waterways through the storm drainage systems/stormwater runoff. This requirement can have a significant financial impact to Phase I and II Cities and would require that they perform toxicity/pyrethroid testing/monitoring and water/sediments four times per year. The Phase II Cities are already participating and paying their fair share of the Delta Regional Monitoring Program tha is managed by the State. The City has partnered with several Cities/Agencies to hire a consultant to help develop a monitoring plan that would be submitted to the State by 2020/21. The partners have joined efforts to contract out with a consultant to assist with the implementation of the Pyrethroids Management Program. A total of 20 agencies have agreed to participate in this effort. The first kickoff meeting is scheduled for 11/4/21. The City of Patterson is taking the lead on this effort and will be a key player on managing this project.
4 On April 7, 2015, the State Water Board adopted an Amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (Ocean Plan) to Control Trash and Part 1 Trash Provision of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries (ISWEBE Plan). Together, they are collectively referred to as 'the Trash Amendments'. The project objective for the Trash Amendments is to provide statewide consistency for the Water Boards' regulatory approach to protect aquatic life and public health beneficial uses, and reduce environmental issues associated with trash in state waters, while focusing limited resources on high trash generating areas. The State has adopted Trash Policy Amendments which will require all Stormwater Phase II MS4 Cities must comply with. Staff will be working closely with Engineering and storm drainage consultant firm to begin working on table top exercises and Cost estimates so that the City is prepared for implementation of the most cost-efficient option. The City received a letter requesting selection of our preferred option as well as submit a jurisdictional map showing the land use priority areas:
1. Track 1: Install, operate and maintain full capture systems in storm drains that capture runoff from the priority land uses;
2. Track 2: Implement a plan with any combination of treatment controls, institutional controls, and/or multi-benefit projects within the jurisdiction of the MS4 permitted.
Demonstrate full capture system equivalency. Expectation is to install capture systems to the extent not cost-prohibitive.
Staff has submitted their Track (Track 1) option and Preliminary Jurisdictional Map to the State via the SMARTS electronic system and has up to 10 years to implement their trash devices in the areas identified in their plan/map.
An RFP was put out to request proposals for consulting services to assist the City with implementation and design of the City’s trash capturing unit. Two prposals were obtained and are currently under review. A contract will be awarded to Stantec Consultanting during April to begin the first phase of this project. The City has hired Stantec (Storm Drainage Consultant) to assist with the implementation plan, design, and to consult with the State regarding this item. A Technical Memo has been submitted to the State during the month of November 2020 and the City is working with the hired consultant to finalize the options. This is a phased project, but the goal is to get this project designed and ready to go out for construction. The City will be seeking a Prop 1 grant once the project is shovel ready. A new Phase II Stormwater Permit is in progress at the State level. Once it is adopted, it will be implemented. Currently the permit is being held up due to the COVID-19 emergency.In the meantime, the City must comply with everything that is in the current permit. It is anticipated that the new permit will be implemented in FY 21/22. Under this new permit, the school districts will be brought in and will be required to have their own stormwater programs.
The new Construction General permit for construction activities disturbing one or more acres of dirt during construction will be released during this year. Once the permit is released, staff will attend trainings to obtain information on all the changes. The release of the permit is taking longer due to the COVID-19 situation. Several workshops are being scheduled for the month of June 2020. The workshops will be held on-line. The City is completing the Pyrethroids Management Plan. On June 8, 2017, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) adopted Resolution R5-2017- 5 0057, the Basin Plan Amendment (BPA) for the Control of Pyrethroid Pesticide Discharges.1 The BPA was subsequently approved by the State Water Resources Control Board on July 10, 2018 and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on February 19, 2019. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved the Pyrethroid Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the nine urban creeks in Sacramento and Roseville on April 22, 2019. With these approvals, the TMDLs and BPA became fully approved and effective.
The BPA established a Pyrethroids Control Program that includes a variety of actions including, but not limited to:
• Monitoring requirements to assess baseline conditions, as well as continued trend monitoring.
• A conditional prohibition for pyrethroid discharges in exceedance of numeric triggers for Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basin water bodies with the aquatic life beneficial uses.
o If the numeric triggers are exceeded, the conditional prohibition requires the development and submittal of a Pyrethroid Management Plan (Management Plan) to reduce pyrethroid levels in discharges to the maximum extent practicable.
All Phase II Cities are subject to the conditional prohibition, and are not subject to the TMDL required to provide baseline monitoring to the Regional Water Board. However, municipalities regulated pursuant to the Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit Phase II Permit may, as an alternative, acknowledge that the existing data are representative of their discharge and forego baseline monitoring and develop a Management Plan. As such, a Management Plan is being finalized on behalf of the City of Patterson, as required for all Phase II permittees. The plan along with a Pyrethroids Management Policy was submitted to the State on August 19, 2021. The City is working with other agencies to implement this program and comply with this requriement.
These are the main projects which Public Works and Engineering are focusing on. These projects include:
o Staff continues to work with Engineering to develop the City’s Track 1 Trash Implementation Plan to comply with the State’s Trash Policy requirements. The plan was submitted to the State on December 2018 and the City has 10 years from this date to complete the implementation of their full trash capture plan. Design funds were approved in the FY 19/20 budget. Proposals for design were received and a consultant agreement is currently in progress. The kickoff meeting was held and the project is currently in progress. The City will be submitting their implementation plan and full trash capture device option(s) to the State. Once approved, staff will work on the next phases of this project which includes preliminary projects design/bid plans.
The City will be exploring Prop 1 grant opportunities for this project. o WQCF Administration LEED Building. This project is currently out to bid. o WM-1A (Kinshire) Waterline Replacement Project. Project was awarded and is currently under construction.
