F.O.G (Fats, Oils, & Grease) Program
The city currently has two Public Works inspectors conducting FOG and stormwater inspections.
FOG inspections are being performed on a regular basis to ensure compliance. (Last Update:
April 2023).
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
The city is currently partnering with twenty-three other Phase II agencies to address the State orders received to comply with the CV Pyrethroid TMDL and Baseline stormwater quality monitoring requirements. This new requirement is looking at the effects 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 that 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 twenty agencies have agreed to participate in this effort. The first kickoff meeting was held on 11/4/21. The City of Patterson is taking the lead agency on this effort. (Last Update: April 2023).
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 2022. Under this new permit, the school districts will be brought in and will be required to have their own stormwater programs. (Last Update: April 2023).
These are the main projects which Public Works and Engineering are focusing on. These projects include:
