Subject: Stormwater Management Annual Report 2022-2023
BACKGROUND
The Federal Clean Water Act requires the City to operate its municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) under a NPDES permit for the discharge of stormwater into surface waters. The Stormwater Permit specifies actions within a five-year permit term necessary to reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable and essentially prohibits non-stormwater discharges into the municipal storm sewer system in order to protect local creeks and the San Francisco Bay. The Stormwater Permit requires reduction of pollutants to storm drains resulting from routine municipal operations; appropriate site design and treatment measures to manage stormwater runoff quality and quantity from new and redevelopment project sites; inspection of construction sites and industrial and commercial facilities that could potentially contribute to stormwater pollution; prohibition, detection, control, and elimination of illicit discharges; implementation of control methods for pollutants of concern such as PCBs, pesticides, mercury, and trash; and monitoring to track water quality status and trends.
The Stormwater Permit requires the City to submit an Annual Report by September 30 of each year, documenting performance of required actions and certifying Stormwater Permit compliance for the reporting fiscal year. The Annual Report follows a standardized reporting template, used by all 76 permitted agencies throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and approved by Water Board staff. The referenced Annual Report fulfills the requirement for reporting on activities undertaken from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
Actions to prevent pollution from entering the City’s storm sewer system involve various City operations, as well as the daily activities of San José residents and businesses. Collaborative Citywide effort is critical to prevent stormwater pollution and protect water quality. Accordingly, multiple City departments are actively engaged. Collaborative efforts are critical to preventing stormwater pollution and protecting water quality. Responsible departments include Environmental Services (ESD); Public Works; Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement; Transportation; Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services (PRNS); Airport; Housing; San José Fire; Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs; and the City Attorney’s Office.
ESD provides Citywide permit oversight, consults and coordinates implementation across these various City departments and co-leads and participates in the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP).
ANALYSIS
City departments implementing Stormwater Permit requirements worked diligently to meet the challenge of implementing both new and existing programs to comply with the new Stormwater Permit requirements. Accomplishments during FY 2022-2023 demonstrate the collective efforts of City departments to improve the condition of local creeks and waterways and reduce pollutant loads to San Francisco Bay. Highlights of key Stormwater Permit implementation activities for FY 2022-2023 and the upcoming year are summarized below.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2023
Subject: Stormwater Management Annual Report 2022-2023
New Development, Redevelopment, and Green Stormwater Infrastructure (Provision C.3) The Stormwater Permit mandates that new development and redevelopment projects meeting certain criteria include appropriate source control, site design, and treatment measures to manage stormwater runoff pollutants and prevent increases in runoff flows from regulated project sites.
Compliance is achieved primarily through the development review, planning, and permitting processes by ensuring water quality protection is integrated into new and redevelopment projects. Development activity remained consistent in FY 2022-2023 with the approval of 51 C.3 Regulated Projects, 48 new private-development projects, and three public-sector development projects that complied with the Stormwater Permit by implementing onsite stormwater treatment measures.
The Stormwater Permit further requires regular inspections to ensure proper installation, operation, and maintenance of treatment systems. In FY 2022-2023, ESD conducted seven Green Stormwater Infrastructure Maintenance Field Guide trainings for 74 PRNS staff and 40 Resilience Corps members contracted to assist with stormwater treatment measure maintenance.
Staff plans to continue conducting in-person training for City maintenance staff and a countywide maintenance field guide training in FY 2023-2024.
City staff presented the new Stormwater Permit requirements and received approval to update related San José Municipal Codes and City policies to the Planning Commission on April 12, 2023 and to City Council on May 9, 2023. Throughout the fiscal year, ESD staff coordinated with interdepartmental partners within the City on the Provision C.3 New Development and Redevelopment updates. City staff also participated in many C.3 outreach activities during FY 2022-2023 including holding two Green Stormwater Infrastructure field visits, one at the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project site and the Roosevelt Community Center, and another at the City Land South of Phelan Regional Project location. City staff also held quarterly development industry meetings to keep industry leaders and engineers informed of the new Stormwater Permit requirements, City policy standards, and details as related to stormwater treatment implementation. Outreach materials including the City website, forms, handouts, and guidance documents were updated to reflect the new Stormwater Permit requirements.
Public Works completed the design phase of the River Oaks Stormwater Capture Project in March 2023. The project is anticipated to be constructed by May 2024. In addition, Public Works obtained additional grant funds for the City Land South of Phelan Project anticipated to begin construction by August 2025.
Trash Load Reduction (Provision C.10)
The Stormwater Permit requires the City to reduce and eliminate trash passing through the MS4 to protect uses of waterways to which the system discharges. This provision includes mandatory trash load reduction benchmarks of 90% trash load reduction by 2023 and 100% trash load reduction by 2025. The City’s trash load reduction as of June 30, 2023 was 95.6%.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2023
Subject: Stormwater Management Annual Report 2022-2023
The City achieved the current reduction through a combination of full trash capture systems designed by Public Works and maintained by Department of Transportation and on-land trash control efforts implemented by PRNS, ESD, Transportation, and Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement and verified by visual assessments in conjunction with offsets earned by implementing the Direct Discharge Trash Control Program (DDTCP) and creek and shoreline cleanups conducted by non-profit groups and contractors. The 10% credit from jurisdictional source controls (i.e., single use bags and foam foodware bans) was phased out with the current Stormwater Permit. Offsets earned through the additional creek and shoreline cleanups (10%) and DDTCP (15%) will be phased out after June 30, 2025; therefore, the City must evaluate existing and/or create new trash control measure programs, prioritizing trash load reduction to bridge this 35% trash load reduction gap and fulfill this Stormwater Permit requirement throughout the permit term.
Full Trash Capture Device Installation (Provision C.10)
Since 2011, the City installed and maintains a total of 29 large full capture hydrodynamic separator systems consisting of 34 underground devices in the MS4 that intercept trash. The City currently has 107 connector pipe screens, which are small full trash capture devices in storm drain inlets that retain trash and debris in the catch basin. The City also has 88 bioretention treatment systems that remove dissolved pollutants and particulate matter from stormwater runoff, reduce the volume and rate of stormwater discharged, and are also sized to meet full trash capture design criteria. Collectively, these systems treat 14,111 acres of trash generating areas in the City. The City claims a 54.1% trash load reduction credit for full trash capture systems.
DDTCP (Provision C.10)
In August 2016, the City received approval of the DDTCP plan from the Water Board and authorization to receive up to a 15% trash load reduction offset for encampment cleanups. As required by the new Stormwater Permit, the City submitted an updated DDTCP plan that was approved by City Council on December 13, 2022 and sent to the Water Board by January 3, 2023 as required by the Stormwater Permit for any permittee with an existing approved DDTCP by the Water Board. The City received comments on March 13, 2023 and submitted a revised updated DDTCP plan on May 22, 2023. Additional comments by the Water Board were received on August 3, 2023 and ESD, Housing, and PRNS are reviewing the comments and will continue to partner on implementing the DDTCP with the objective to remove trash from significant stretches of Coyote Creek, Guadalupe River, and Los Gatos Creek impacted by encampments and activities of people experiencing homelessness in the city’s waterways. DDTCP efforts include outreach, social, and sanitary services to homeless individuals; cleanup of encampment trash and debris; removal of residual trash from creeks in partnership with non-profits and the Santa Clara Valley Water District; and visual assessments. In FY 2022-2023, the DDTCP efforts removed over 1,289 tons of trash from creeks. The City claimed the maximum allowable 15% trash load reduction offset based on the volume of trash removed in FY 2022-2023.
Additional Creek and Shoreline Cleanups (Provision C.10) Nonprofit partners Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition partnered with the City on projects that mitigate the impacts of trash on Coyote Creek,
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2023
Subject: Stormwater Management Annual Report 2022-2023
Guadalupe River, and Los Gatos Creek funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. In FY 2022-2023, more than 2,700 volunteers participated in 77 creek cleanups led by Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition, removing 154 tons of trash, 119 of which meet Stormwater Permit requirements for this offset. The City claimed the maximum allowable 10% trash load reduction offset for Additional Creek and Shoreline Cleanups and plans to continue this effort in FY 2023-2024.
Private Lands (Provision C.10)
The Stormwater Permit requires owners of private parcels that are directly connected to the City’s MS4, generate elevated levels of trash, and are not treated by existing full trash capture devices to implement trash management actions and reduce trash loads by June 30, 2025. City staff began the preliminary steps to implement this new requirement. Field staff are assessing trash generation levels on these parcels to determine scope and resource needs that may require additional funding.
PCBs Controls (Provision C.12)
The Water Board assigned a particularly high priority to PCBs in the new Stormwater Permit, as urban stormwater is considered the primary pathway of new PCBs loads to the San Francisco Bay. Baywide, Stormwater Permittees are required to reduce PCBs loads within the Stormwater Permit term by implementing various programs such as source property identification and abatement, control measure implementation in old industrial areas, controlling PCBs from bridges and overpasses/electrical utilities, and managing PCBs containing materials/waste during building demolition.
The new Stormwater Permit requires permittees to submit a Regional Control Measure Plan (Plan) to reduce PCBs and mercury in urban runoff from old industrial areas to achieve the countywide mandated load reductions. City staff participated in the development of the Plan with other permittees in Santa Clara Valley through SCVURPPP that submitted the Plan by the Water Board’s due date of March 31, 2023.
Over the past 20 years, all SCVURPPP permittees investigated and gathered information within the public right-of-way in old industrial areas on sources of PCBs and mercury in land areas that are likely to contribute to the storm sewer system. During that time, SCVURPPP investigated over 4,000 acres of old industrial areas in Santa Clara Valley, of which half that acreage is in San José. Through the investigations, SCVURPPP identified eight confirmed PCBs source properties with high PCBs concentration in San José.
Upon approval by the Water Board, the Plan provides the City two options: (1) refer properties to the Water Board for follow up investigation and abatement once the City has developed enhanced operations and maintenance measures programs that would entail street cleaning, storm drain inlet, and pipe cleaning adjacent to the referred source property or (2) the City will work directly with the owners of private properties to abate and submit sufficient evidence to the Water Board that the property is no longer contributing PCBs to the City’s MS4. As a new requirement under the current Stormwater Permit, SCVURPPP is currently working with the
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2023
Subject: Stormwater Management Annual Report 2022-2023
City and permittees in Santa Clara Valley to investigate the remaining acreage in old industrial areas and conduct an on-site investigation to identify moderate source properties to comply with this provision during the permit term.
Since July 1, 2019, building demolition permit applicants must complete PCBs screening forms prior to City approval of building demolitions. The new Stormwater Permit provides more prescriptive requirements for applicable structures with building materials confirmed to contain PCBs testing at 50 parts per million or above. These new requirements were effective as of July 1, 2023. City staff presented the new requirements and received approval to update related San José Municipal Codes and City policies to the Planning Commission on April 12, 2023 and City Council on May 9, 2023. City staff also participated in updating the regional guidance documents to reflect the new requirements, updated the City website with the new requirements, and conducted outreach and notified developers with the support from Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs and the Planning Building, and Code Enforcement E newsletter. Information about the program is available at www.sanjoseca.gov/ManagingPCBs.
Discharges from Emergency Firefighting Operations (Provision C.15.b) San José Fire Department and ESD actively participate in a regional Firefighting Discharges Working Group to assess the adequacy of existing best management practices and standard operating procedures to address the potential adverse water quality impact of firefighting water and foam discharging during emergencies. In addition, the City will need to evaluate the adequacy of large industrial sites’ best management practices and standard operating procedures for the prevention, containment, and cleanup of emergency firefighting discharges into storm drain and receiving waters.
Discharges from Unsheltered Homeless Populations (Provision C.17) This new provision of the Stormwater Permit is intended to identify and ensure the implementation of control measures to address non-stormwater discharges, generated by the activities and encampments of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, into the MS4 and waterways. Housing, PRNS, and ESD, along with SCVURPP and other regional partners, are actively participating in a regional Unsheltered Homeless Discharges Working Group and will submit a regionwide Best Management Practices Report to the Water Board by September 30, 2023.

Executive Summary
The City is required to submit an Annual Report to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) documenting compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP) for stormwater discharge through the City's storm sewer system to waters of the United States. The Report includes sections for each applicable Permit provision and follows the annual reporting format developed by the Bay Area Municipal Stormwater Collaborative (BAMSC) and approved by the Regional Water Board's Executive Officer. Each section is comprised of data and narrative to demonstrate the progress and accomplishments related to each Permit element throughout the reporting year.
Although the City also contributes to activities undertaken by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (Program) and BAMSC, this report primarily includes information on activities that were performed solely by the City. The Program’s report is included by reference.
The following provides an overview of the past year's progress toward addressing each Permit provision.
C.2 Municipal Operations
During this reporting year, efforts under this provision focused on appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control and reduce non-stormwater and polluted stormwater discharges to storm drains and waterways during operation, inspection, and routine repair, as well as maintenance of municipal facilities and infrastructure.
The City provides regular training to ensure that appropriate stormwater BMPs are employed during applicable municipal operations and maintenance activities. The City actively participated in the SCVURPPP Municipal Operations ad hoc task group. Approximately 20 staff attended the Program’s C.2 Municipal Operations Managers Training, which focused on records management, BMP implementation, reporting
requirements, and new requirements of C.2 provisions. The City’s Environmental Services Department provides on-going technical assistance to municipal staff and makes information easily accessible with links to the California Stormwater Quality Association Handbook for Municipal Operations, the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association’s (BASMAA)
Blueprint for a Clean Bay, and the BASMAA Pollution Prevention Training Program for Surface Cleaners.
The City cleans its stormwater pump station wet wells annually as part of its maintenance program and removed 52 cubic yards of debris this fiscal year. Approximately 460 cubic yards of debris were removed during the City's annual cleaning of over 35,600 storm drain inlets in the public right of way.

C.3 New and Redevelopment
San José's implementation of Permit Provision C.3
continued to focus on the Low Impact Development
(LID) stormwater management requirements. The City
worked with developers to ensure projects complied
with LID requirements by utilizing tools such as the C.3 Stormwater Evaluation Form, the Special Projects
Worksheets, and C.3-related online webpages.
Continued outreach and collaboration between City
staff and private engineering firms has supported
compliance with LID Permit requirements.
Additionally, staff continued implementation of the
interdepartmental C.3 Development Review Standard
Operating Procedures to improve coordination
among departments and ensure stormwater control
plan reviews are comprehensive and complete.
Development activity remained consistent in FY 22-23
with the approval of 51 C.3 "Regulated Projects". The
City approved development permits for 48 new
private-development and three public-sector
development projects that complied with the Permit
by implementing onsite stormwater treatment
measures. By comparison, 53 C.3 Regulated Projects
were approved in FY 21-22.
As part of its Stormwater Treatment Measure Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Inspection Program, the City inspected 133 out of a total of 562, or 23% of the City’s total inventory of C.3 Regulated Project sites during FY 22-23 to ensure the proper maintenance and function of onsite stormwater treatment systems. By comparison, the City inspected 111 C.3 Regulat ed Project sites in FY 21-22 under the O&M Inspection Program. Approximately one quarter of the sites inspected under the O&M Inspection Program were found to have stormwater treatment systems in good working order. Staff worked with property managers and property owners to ensure actions were taken to correct issues found at the remaining sites inspected.
Additionally, the City provided training to 40 Resilience Corps members and 74 Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) maintenance staff members on the Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Maintenance Field Guide. During these trainings, PRNS staff were also trained on how to record observations of onsite conditions into their database application system to generate future work orders. City staff members presented about GSI and operations and maintenance at the Northern California Facilities Expo in Santa Clara, CA on September 22, 2022, with attendees from diverse public and private entities such as facilities representatives from local utility agencies and institutions, school districts, maintenance departments, and private companies. The City verified proper installation of 245 newly installed stormwater treatment systems under its Stormwater Treatment Systems Installation Verification Program.
On May 12, 2023, the City submitted a letter to the Water Board informing it of the timeline for completion of the SJC Economy Lot 1 Bioretention Cell Project, which is used as offsite alternative compliance for the Airport’s Interim Four Gate Boarding Facility Project. The Interim Four Gate Boarding Facility Project was completed on June 15, 2019 and accepted as complete on November 30, 2019, and the SJC Economy Lot 1 Bioretention Cell Project was City staff conducting field portion of GSI
Maintenance Field Guide Training.

completed June 30, 2023, three years and seven months later. To ensure the Airport remains in future compliance with the Provision C.3 requirements, the Airport’s Planning & Development Division has worked with the City’s Environmental Services and Public Works Departments to ensure all Airport Project Managers are trained on the latest Provision C.3 requirements. The Airport has also made procedural changes to ensure all new development plan sets include the most up-to-date C.3 data forms. Lastly, all regulated projects that will utilize alternative and/or offsite compliance will have the location of the offsite compliance identified prior to final development approval. This will help to ensure there are no delays in meeting the three (3) year timeline for offsite compliance.
During FY 22-23, the City participated in many C.3 outreach activities. City staff held two GSI field visits, one at the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project site and the Roosevelt Community Center, and another at the City Land South of Phelan Regional Project location. In total, over 50 City staff members from ESD, Department of Public Works (DPW), Department of Transportation (DOT), and City Manager’s Office attended. In February 2023, the City led an outdoor presentation at the Rotary Play Garden for homeschool students in the Guadalupe River Conservancy Youth Group about the impact of human activities on the San Francisco Bay watershed and the benefits of GSI. On June 29, 2023, City staff participated in a field visit highlighting the benefits of green streets organized by non-governmental organization Save the Bay. The group visited the Park Avenue Green Street Project and the Roosevelt Community Center to discuss water quality, environmental education opportunities, workforce training, urban greening, and climate resilience. Attendees included Save the Bay representatives, two City Councilmembers, their staff, and members of the San Jose Conservation Corps.
In preparation for the new MRP requirements, City staff presented about the new permit requirements and related municipal codes and City policies requiring updates to the Planning Commission on April 12, 2023, and to City Council members on May 9, 2023 . Throughout the fiscal year, ESD staff coordinated with interdepartmental partners on the C.3 New Development and Redevelopment updates. Attendees for these presentations included staff from ESD, DPW, DOT, PRNS, Housing Department, Airport, Office of Economic Development, City Attorney’s Office, and City Manager’s Office.
The City has been holding regular Development Industry meetings to keep industry leaders and engineers informed of the MRP requirements and City policy standards and details as related to stormwater treatment implementation. City staff met with the group more frequently to provide updates from the Water Board and develop the City’s standard details for treatment in the public Right of Way. Outreach materials including the City website, forms, handouts, and guidance documents were updated to reflect the MRP reissuance requirements. The City completed the design phase of the River Oaks Stormwater Capture Project and will be awarded grant funds to pursue the City Land South of Phelan Project, another large-scale regional stormwater project.
C.4 Industrial and Commercial Site Controls
The goal of the Industrial and Commercial Inspection program is to protect the storm sewer system from polluted discharges originating from commercial and industrial facilities . The program includes more than 8,000 businesses in its inspection inventory and provides educational materials to business operators describing best management practices to prevent stormwater pollution at their facilities. The City's Business Inspection Plan is designed to direct inspector resources toward i-4
facilities with a higher potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater. This prioritization considers the type of business and the compliance history of a facility in establishing inspection frequency.
More than 2,570 inspections were conducted for 1,889 facilities in FY 22-23. Inspectors found and documented 19 actual discharge violations and 609 potential discharge violations. Additionally, the rate of correcting identified violations within 10 business days (or in an otherwise timely manner) was approximately 90%, a 1% increase compared to FY 21-22.
The City continues to actively participate in the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program's Industrial and Commercial Ad Hoc Task Group (IND AHTG).
C.5 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The City continued to respond to IDDE complaints, providing service, education, and enforcement as needed to resolve violations and protect the storm sewer system, creeks, and Bay from illicit discharges.
The City makes every effort to respond to complaints on the same day they are received, and no later than three business days from the date the complaint was received. The City responded to 291 complaints in FY 22-23. The percentage of violations corrected in a timely manner was approximately 98%. Common complaint types include sanitary spills or leaks, oil and grease discharges, vehicle or equipment leaks, and water line breaks.
C.6 Construction Site Control
San José continued to implement a robust construction
inspection program in FY 22-23. City staff from Public Works and Environmental Services completed 1,355 inspections at 170 project sites in FY 22-23 (compared to 1,253 inspections at 144 sites in FY 21-22). These inspections documented 146 violations that resulted in 108 enforcement actions being issued.
Out of the 146 violations, 97% were corrected within 10 days or otherwise considered timely. Inspectors were able to achieve compliance predominantly through Level 1 (Correction
Notice/Verbal Warning) enforcement.
Consistent with the previous year, sediment control and good site management were the most common BMP violation
categories. Inadequate BMPs in those two categories made up 94% of the violations issued.
Effective BMPs installed at
construction site.

C.7 Public Information and Outreach
The City’s public information and outreach program delivers stormwater pollution prevention messages to diverse audiences. Community outreach and opportunities for participation in water quality protection activities are critical elements for encouraging the public behavior changes needed to manage stormwater quality. They also help foster responsible behavior and respect for the environment in future generations of San José residents.
The City collaborates with other local
and regional agencies and
community organizations to reach
residents of all ages and interests. The
City offers multilingual literature and
information to its diverse population.
Public education highlights for FY 22-
23 include: promoting two
countywide creek cleanup events
through multiple social media posts
on various platforms and attending
multiple community events
throughout the city. School-aged
youth are a critical audience for
outreach and education directed at
sustained behavior changes and
watershed protection.
The City continued to engage in programs connecting students, teachers, administrators, and school communities with watershed education and green practices, including virtual and in- person presentations focused on Integrated Pest Management and the City’s Barn Owl Nest Box Program for high school and college students.

The City also actively supported and participated in Program and Bay Area -wide media relations and outreach addressing topics such as
integrated pest management (IPM), mercury,
household hazardous waste, and trash. The City
supported strategy and material development for
the countywide Watershed Watch campaign.
Partnering in Program and Bay Area-wide efforts
enables the City to deliver consistent pollution
prevention messages more effectively, frequently,
and economically. In FY 22-23, the City continued
its partnership with Major League Soccer's San Jose
Earthquakes to produce outreach messages that
increase awareness and encourage behaviors to
help reduce waste, prevent pollution, and
conserve water. The Earthquakes partnership
made more than 33,000 impressions during FY 22-23
through mass media campaigns. In addition, ESD
continued its partnership with the San Jose Sharks,
a professional ice hockey team, to raise awareness
and encourage environmental behaviors that
reduce waste and prevent pollution. During the
2022-2023 season, ESD continued the English
language mass media campaign featuring Sharks
players that garnered nearly 4 million impressions of
environmental messaging.

C.8 Water Quality Monitoring
Most monitoring activities required in the Permit are
implemented either regionally through BAMSC, or
countywide through the Program. However, the City
participates directly in local and regional monitoring
activities to ensure the collection of high-quality
monitoring data that helps inform management. This
includes City staff participation in various committees, workgroups, and strategy teams for the Regional
Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco
Bay (RMP); the BAMSC Monitoring and Pollutants of
Concern Committee (MPC); the BAMSC Regional
Monitoring Coalition (RMC); and the Program's
Monitoring Ad Hoc Task Group and monitoring projects.
This year, City staff actively participated in planning and reviewing activities for the RMP, serving on the
Steering Committee; Technical Review Committee;
Sources, Pathways and Loadings workgroup; Emerging
Contaminant workgroup; Microplastics Workgroup; and
Sports Fish Monitoring team. Through this participation, the City helped develop work products and prioritized
information needs for Regional monitoring projects. In
FY 22-23, the City reviewed and provided comments
on RMP study reports and RMP Update drafts. Financial support for the RMP is a requirement of both the stormwater and wastewater NPDES Permits, and the City has met this obligation since the RMP's inception.
City staff participated directly in the BAMSC Monitoring and Pollutants of Concern (POC) Committee, which coordinates stormwater monitoring and POC activities regionwide. Staff aided planning and implementation of multiple components of the BAMSC regional monitoring program, including review of the Urban Creeks Monitoring Report, Water Year 2022 and the development of the LID and Trash Monitoring Plans.
C.9 Pesticides Toxicity Control
The Pesticides Toxicity Control provision aims to prevent impairment of urban streams by pesticide- related toxicity. These include requirements to adopt and implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy, train staff who apply pesticides, require contractors to implement IPM, and provide public outreach, among others. San José continues to incorporate IPM techniques into City operations as it has for many years. The City's IPM Policy requires the use of IPM in municipal operations to facilitate reducing, phasing out, and ultimately eliminating the use of pesticides that impair surface waters.

During the reporting year, San José continued to apply proven IPM techniques to address municipal pest problems. Techniques employed include hand pulling and line trimming weeds, training and planting of site-appropriate, pest
resistant plant species in remodeled and/or new
parks and City facilities, insect monitoring with
sticky and nectar traps, and utilizing Barn owl nest
boxes for small rodent control. Staff also required
external vendors to review the City's IPM policy,
SOPs, BMPs, and pesticide lists. Staff
communicated expectations on reporting to
vendors and solicited input to refine the online
data entry and record keeping system for
chemical applications and alternative treatment
methods. The online reporting system allows for
fine detail analysis of common target pests and
alternative methods that can be quantified for
comparison.
Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS) continues to evaluate new methods for managing pests and provides IPM training to staff. Staff continued the use of IPM methods, including goats for weed suppression, flamers in hardscape areas, and product cycling to reduce pest resistance. The City also employed a variety of less-toxic methods for rodent control, such as recruiting Barn owls to nest and hunt in City parks.
The City's use of pesticides that threaten water quality remains very low. Nearly all reportable active ingredients were applied in ways that did not expose them to potential runoff or limited the potential for that exposure. Nearly all reported use of pesticides of concern was indoors and/or in the form of contained baits.
C.10 Trash Load Reduction
The Clean Waterways, Healthy City: Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plan and Assessment Strategy (Long- Term Plan), originally submitted to the Water Board on February 15, 2014, and since updated, serves as a roadmap to help San José achieve the C.10 trash load reduction requirements and the vision of Clean Waterways, Healthy City.
As of June 30, 2023, the City attained 95.6% trash load reduction, a decrease of 7.8% from the previous year. The current Stormwater Permit eliminated the 10% offset granted for enacting single-use carryout bag and foam food ware container bans. It will also phase out the 10% offset for additional creek and shoreline cleanups and the 15% offset for the City’s Direct Discharge Trash Control Plan at the end of FY 24-25. The City has installed a total of 29 Hydrodynamic Separators (HDS), 107 Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) and 88 bioretention treatment systems to date. Collectively, these systems treat 14,111 acres, exceeding the Permit requirement of 895 acres. The City is claiming 54% trash load reduction for full trash capture systems.
The City continued to implement its Direct Discharge Trash Control Program (DDTCP), approved by the Water Board Executive Officer August 3, 2016. The City submitted an updated DDTCP on January 3, 2023 as required by Provision C.10.f.ii, and a revised DDTCP on May 22, 2023 in ESD Staff cleaning a barn
owl nest box at Montgomery
Hill Park.

response to Water Board comments. In FY 22-23, this partnership cleared 14,853 cubic yards (1,289 tons) of trash from creeks at 2,128 cleanups. See Appendix 10-2 (DDTCP Progress Report) for more information. The City is claiming a 15% trash load reduction offset for DDTCP cleanups.
The City continued partnerships to
conduct creek cleanups. In FY 22-23,
through a Memorandum of Agreement,
the City partnered with Valley Water to
remove five trash rafts along Coyote
Creek and Guadalupe River comprised of
297.2 cubic yards (25.8 tons) of trash and
debris. The City continued its partnership
with Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful (KCCB)
and South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition
(SBCCC) on projects that mitigate the
impacts of trash on Coyote Creek,
Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek. In
FY 21-22, the City was awarded a
$3,080,000 Environmental Protection
Agency San Francisco Bay Water Quality
Improvement Fund grant funded through
June 30, 2025. Grant deliverables include trash cleanup, prevention, and communi ty outreach within the Direct Discharge Focus Zones. A portion of this grant funded KCCB and SBCCC to conduct creek cleanups and community outreach. Together, these groups conducted 77 volunteer creek cleanups and removed 1,775 cubic yards (154 tons) of trash and debris from the City's waterways in FY 22-23. Additional creek and shoreline cleanups in FY 22-23 led by City departments, non-profit agencies and community groups removed 1,934.9 cubic yards (167.9 tons) of trash from sites cleaned twice or more. The City is claiming a 10% offset credit toward its trash reduction requirements for these additional creek cleanups.
On-land Visual Trash Assessments are conducted to assess environmental outcomes of control measures other than full trash capture. They provide a qualitative estimate of the amount of trash generated on specific street segments, sidewalks and adjacent land areas that may be transported to a municipal stormwater system and ultimately to waterways. On -land visual trash assessments were conducted according to guidelines in Provision C.10.b.ii.b using a standard protocol developed by BASMAA member agencies. FY 22-23 assessments indicated that San José streets were cleaner than in previous years attributing a 16.5% trash load reduction. This increase may reflect expansion of the City's other trash control actions including #BeautifySJ, the RAPID Illegal Dumping Program, street sweeping, on-land cleanups, and public outreach.

The City continued to implement and assess the EPS Foam Food Container Or dinance that became effective for all food service establishments January 1, 2015 and the Single-Use Carryout Bag Ban ordinance that became effective January 1, 2012. In addition to the local ordinances mentioned above, the City is providing
outreach and education about
California's single-use foodware
accessories and condiments bill, AB 1276,
effective January 1, 2022.
The 95.6% trash load reduction achieved
to date reflects a combination of
approaches to address and revive the
health of the City's urban creeks. The City
intends to maintain focus on
implementing control measures to ensure
compliance with future MRP trash
reduction targets. This includes continuing
partnerships that are essential to the long-
term success and sustainability of the
City's trash reduction efforts.

C.11 Mercury Controls and C.12 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Controls Mercury and PCBs are pollutants with a tendency to adhere to particles and accumulate in fish tissues. Their urban sources also often co-occur on the landscape. Due to these similarities, Permit provisions for the control of mercury and PCBs in stormwater are nearly identical.
The City continued its efforts to reduce or eliminate potential mercury discharges from municipal operations by purchasing low mercury content fluorescent lamps and properly recycling spent lamps. The San José Environmental Innovation Center (EIC) offers services with economic and environmental benefits that extend countywide. One of these is a permanent Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Drop-off Facility run by Santa Clara County. This provides San José and countywide residents with a convenient facility to dispose of their waste safely.
The City continued to support the Santa Clara County
Household and Small Business Hazardous Waste Program to provide fluorescent lamp recycling services to residents.
The City also continued to support the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP),
which has worked collaboratively with BAMSC on projects to understand sources and loadings of mercury and PCBs
and to reduce risk to people who may eat San Francisco
Bay fish containing these pollutants. The City is an active participant in regional and countywide workgroups to
understand and control stormwater inputs of both mercury and PCBs to the Bay. These workgroups and committees
collaboratively work on Permit-required regional and
countywide projects to better understand sources of PCBs and mercury and to design control measures for identified sources.
City staff continue to facilitate sampling in various old industrial areas within the City to find high likelihood areas for capturing these pollutants. The City continues its commitment to working with the Water Board and stakeholders toward achieving TMDLs efficiently and cost effecti vely. The City also contributed to the development of the county-wide Old Industrial Areas Control Measure Plan, submitted to the Water Board in March 2023.
Since July 1, 2019, the City has incorporated a PCBs management protocol into its building demolition permit application process. Information about the program is available at https://www.sanjoseca.gov/ManagingPCBs. The program requires demolition permit applicants, or applicants of any other permit that involves the demolition of a building, to submit a PCBs Screening Assessment Form with their building permit application and provide required supporting documents for applicable structures.
In FY 22-23 the City updated its municipal code and website to reflect and enforce expanded requirements for applicable structures with materials exceeding the 50-ppm PCBs threshold, effective July 1, 2023. The City also conducted outreach to developers, notifying them of the changes, and enhanced its construction site control program in preparation for inspecting applicable structures exceeding the threshold.

C.13 Copper Controls
Brake dust has long been known to be a major source of copper to the environment and stormwater. AB 346 became law in July 2010 and effectively phases out copper in brake pads sold in California. The City continued to address other sources of copper through the prohibition of the discharge of pool and spa water containing copper algicides, and wash water from copper architectural features.
The City has incorporated copper pollution prevention into its industrial inspection program. A fact sheet regarding rooftop sources of copper pollution continues to be available for distribution to targeted industrial facilities. The City continued to include businesses with SIC codes identified as having a higher potential to contribute copper to stormwater in its annual inspection plan. All of these business types are subject to the State's General Industrial Permit. The brochure "Requirements for Copper Roofs and Other Architectural Copper" which includes BMPs for preventing prohibited discharges to storm drains is also available for distribution where discharges from cleaning or treating copper architectural features may occur.
The City of San José Municipal Code includes legal authority to address prohibited discharges to the City's MS4. The City’s Industrial and Commercial Inspection program and IDDE program, used a combination of education and enforcement to achieve compliance. The City provided BMP information to its residential and commercial constituents on various actions they can take to reduce or eliminate the exposure and discharge of copper from their activities. Materials were distributed during inspections, at the City's planning and permitting offices, at outreach events, and through the City's website.
i-13
C.15 Exempted and Conditionally Exempted Discharges
Some non-stormwater discharges are either not harmful or can be made so with simple BMPs.
These few discharge types are exempted or conditionally exempted from the Permit's general discharge prohibitions. The City has participated in the first two meetings of the BAMSC Regional Firefighting Discharges Work Group. The Work Group’s goal is to evaluate and develop BMPs and SOPs for mitigating pollution from emergency firefighting activities at a regional level.
Through a variety of outreach activities, the City encouraged residents to protect water quality by washing their cars over landscaped areas or at establishments where the wash water is recycled. The City’s Water Waste Ordinance encourages water conservation and prohibits practices that lead to over watering and runoff. Additionally, the City continued to promote water-wise landscape irrigation and sustainable gardening techniques in partnershi p with the Program and Valley Water.
C.17 Discharges Associated with Unsheltered Homeless Populations The purpose of this new provision is to identify and implement appropriate control measures to address non-stormwater discharges into the City’s storm sewer system and waterways associated with unsheltered homeless populations. The City worked closely with local and regional partners to implement this provision’s requirements.
Critical to implementing this provision is gaining a better understanding of the num ber of individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the City and their locations. This was accomplished through a biennial Point In Time (PIT) count of individuals experiencing homelessness performed by the County of Santa Clara in January 2022. PIT counts are typically
i-14
done on odd years, however, pandemic-related delay in 2021 led to a subsequent count in 2022. As estimated by the 2022 PIT count conducted by the County of Santa Clara (County), the City has a total unsheltered population of roughly 4,975 individuals. This number includes a count of unsheltered homeless sleeping outdoors on the street, at bus and train stations, in parks, tents, and other make-shift shelters, and in vehicles and abandoned properties.
A map showing the density of unsheltered populations by census tracts in relation to storm drain inlets and existing streams, rivers, flood control channels, and other surface water bodies within the City’s jurisdiction is included in Appendix 17-1. This map was developed using the 2022 PIT count data provided by the County. Due to privacy and safety concerns, the County did not provide location data below the census tract level for this publicly available report.
The City’s Housing Department coordinated with, HomeFirst and PATH to provide BMPs and support services to unsheltered populations located within the City’s jurisdiction. For unsheltered populations located in areas that are not under our jurisdiction, outreach services are still conducted, and encampment management coordination is done with the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services BeautifySJ interagency team. The City implements the Direct Discharge Trash Control Plan (DDTCP) to address discharges generated by the activities of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in creeks.
Conclusion
The City of San José is a leader in promoting innovative, proactive environmental policies and continues to strive to meet or exceed its regulatory obligations. The City is committed to managing and protecting stormwater quality and actively participates in local and regional efforts designed to leverage the most value for its resources and citizens. San José will continue to focus resources to protect water quality for the benefit of our citizens, businesses, and future generations.

Section 3 – Provision C.3 Reporting New Development and Redevelopment
C.3.a.ii. ► New Development and Redevelopment Performance Standard Implementation Summary Report
(For FY 22-23 Annual Report only) Provide a brief summary of the methods of implementation of Provisions C.3.a.i.(1)-(8)).
Summary:
In FY 22-23, the City’s implementation activities focused on updating internal City procedures and documents per the new Permit, training internal City partners, and implementing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). Particular emphasis was placed on process and collaboration, with staff from several City departments frequently meeting to discuss new Permit requirements and concerns, project impacts, and staff roles and responsibilities.
The City also initiated several internal efforts to update standardized LID implementation tools, such as the Stormwater Evaluation Form, Special Project Worksheet, Affordable Housing Calculator, and Stormwater Submittal checklist. The City also participated in BAMSC and Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program-led efforts to develop fact sheets and a Vegetation Guide. The City continues to promote implementation of pollutant source control and site design measures for both regulated and non-regulated projects. Highlights of the City’s implementation of C.3 requirements are described below. (1) Legal Authority
San José Municipal Code Title 5, Chapter 5.09, Title 20, Chapters 20.95 and 20.100 establish the City’s legal authority to implement Provision C.3 of the MRP. Additionally, City Council Policy 6-29: Post-Construction Urban Runoff Management and City Council Policy 8-14: Post Construction Hydromodification Management establish the framework for implementing NPDES treatment and hydromodification control requirements through the City’s development review process. These municipal codes and policies were updated to reflect the new requirements in the MRP reissuance.
(2) Development Review and Permitting Procedures
The City continues to review new development and redevelopment projects to ensure stormwater management features meet Provision C.3 requirements. Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement staff has primary responsibility for determining whether or not private development proposals are subject to C.3 requirements based on land use and impervious surface area. Public Works staff ensure treatment control measures are sized in accordance with C.3 standards and are compatible with the City’s storm sewer system infrastructure. Prior to City approval, most private development projects have complete stormwater control plans demonstrating C.3 compliance. Occasionally, projects are approved with incomplete stormwater control plans and require a set of conditions be met prior to construction. Revisions to a previously- approved project that potentially affect the stormwater control plan are subject to additional review by both Planning and Public Works. The City’s C.3 Standard Operating Procedure document is being updated to more clearly define staff roles and responsibilities for meeting the new FY 2022-2023 Annual Report C.3 – New Development and Redevelopment Permittee Name: City of San José
3-2
Permit C.3 requirements during the private development review process. Public Works staff has primary responsibility for ensuring public development projects include C.3 compliant stormwater control plans prior to approval. (3) Environmental Review
The City conducts environmental review on both public and private projects subject to CEQA prior to the City’s decision to approve or carry out each project. The San José Municipal Code designates the Director of Planning as the party responsible for CEQA compliance. Impacts to hydrology and water quality are assessed and disclosed through the CEQA Initial Study; when necessary, measures that address water quality impacts are identified in the final CEQA document and incorporated into the project and/or implemented through environmental standard permit conditions, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures enforced through mitigation monitoring and reporting plans, as appropriate. (4) Training
The City participated in a combination of professional conferences, workshops, and webcasts to ensure staff has the technical expertise necessary for implementing Provision C.3. During FY 22-23, staff from the several City departments, including Public Works, Transportation, Planning, Building and Code Enforcement, Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services, and Environmental Services, received training on various stormwater management topics. Training highlights include:
• The Annual CASQA Conference provided technical in-depth technical training workshops that addressed the link between stormwater programs and environmental outcomes. (October 2022)
• A webinar on Implementing a Green Infrastructure Project: The Elk Grove Nature Park by CivicWell, which presented about an accessible and inclusive park for community members of all abilities that uses GSI to manage stormwater runoff, provide wildlife habitat, and promote environmental awareness (October 2022).
• A STORMS Seminar on Building Blocks for Offsite Stormwater Credit Programs by the State Water Resources Control Board. The event presented on stormwater credit programs as innovative approaches to provide funding for stormwater capture projects, expand project implementation, expedite project construction, and create multiple benefits The webinar described the primary elements, key program considerations, and major decision paints that stormwater managers need to address in creating offsite stormwater credit programs (February 2023).
• A workshop on the Contra Costa County Regional Alternative Compliance (RAC) System, which is intended to provide a flexible, cost- effective, and scientifically defensible compliance option to address the requirements of the MRP (specifically Provision C.3 and Provision C.11/12). The workshop covered the system’s “compliance purchases” that fund Off-Site Green Stormwater Infrastructure Projects that provide stormwater capture and treatment. The Contra Costa County RAC System framework is intended to be easily adaptable by other San Francisco Bay countywide programs (March 2023).
• The Program’s Annual C.3. Stormwater Workshop consisted of two parts. Part 1: Green Stormwater Infrastructure in the Public Right-of-Way – Implementing New Requirements provided pre-workshop basic training about the C.3 Provision, reviewed updates to C.3 Provision requirements, evaluated GSI opportunities in streets and parking lot projects, and hosted two breakout sessions on GSI opportunity screening and policies in the frontage (February 2023). Part 2: Addressing Stormwater Requirements in Development Project Plan Review provided basic training about the C.3 Provision, general overview of the updates to C.3 Provision requirements, description of SCVURPPP tools and resources, and detailed training on reviewing Stormwater Control Plans and treatment measure sizing (April 2023).

(5) Outreach and Education Efforts
Outreach and education efforts to City staff and developers has continued to be a priority. The City provided timely updates about the new Permit via existing City-hosted development industry roundtable meetings, Citywide Stormwater Permit Coordination meetings, and C.3 Coordination meetings (a joint meeting of Public Works and ESD staff). City staff held many meetings discussing new Permit requirements with all affected departments, including Public Works, Environmental Services, Planning, Transportation, Airport, PRNS, Office of Economic Development, Housing Department, and City Manager’s Office. During FY 22-23, outreach topics included new Permit requirements, updates to internal guidance documents and external outreach, such as City forms, websites, reference maps, checklists, and handouts. In addition, City staff informed development permit applicants of the new Permit requirements through the permit review process. Additional outreach was conducted through reports to the City Council and a presentation to the Planning Commission. The Program developed the fact sheets on Stormwater Quality Control Requirements, Update on Stormwater Treatment Requirements for New Development and Redevelopment Projects, and New Stormwater Control Requirements for Large Single-Family Home Development. (6) Site Design Measures at Unregulated Projects
The City’s Council Policy 6-29: Post-Construction Urban Runoff Management requires that City staff encourage site design measures for all projects, regardless of their size, by working with project applicants throughout the development permit review process. Through this process, project review staff provide project feedback and comments that encourage the applicant to include site design measures. Such feedback can include but is not limited to: remove unnecessarily paved areas and replace with irrigated landscaping; preserve mature stands of trees; minimize the amount of surface parking area by not exceeding City parking requirements; provide onsite bicycle parking; provide pervious pavement; provide new onsite landscaping and street trees; use California native and drought-tolerant plants and group plants into irrigation hydrozones for water efficiency; use smart or efficient landscaping irrigation systems; etc. In 2012, the City adopted Municipal Code Title 17, Chapter 17.72, Section
17.72.530 that requires all detached single-family projects not part of a larger plan of development to disconnect rain leaders and downspouts from the storm drain system and drain to splash blocks that flow to onsite landscaped areas. If infeasible, the municipal code requires implementation of alternatives, such as directing roof runoff to rainwater harvesting systems, conveying runoff from driveways, walkways, patios, and/or uncovered parking areas to onsite landscaped areas, or construct hardscapes with permeable surfaces. (7) Source Control at Unregulated Projects
The City continues to promote pollutant source control measures for both regulated and non-regulated projects by implementing City Council Policy 6-29: Post-Construction Urban Runoff Management. Per the Policy, all non-regulated projects are encouraged to provide appropriate source control measures, but requires all “Land Uses of Concern,” such as Material Recycling Facilities and Construction/Corporation Yards, to implement specific source control measures regardless of their project size. City staff use the development review process to ensure effective source control measures are included in all projects. Additionally, the City has developed Solid Waste Enclosure Guidelines to guide new development projects on how to provide covered enclosures for trash and recycling containers with grade breaks as a source control measure.
Projects are required to connect drainage from the interior of the trash and recycling enclosures to the sanitary sewer system, when appropriate. (8) General Plan Revisions
The City adopted its Envision San José 2040 General Plan in FY 11-12. The City’s General Plan includes goals and policies that protect and enhance riparian and Bay habitat, encourage regional stormwater treatment and hydromodification control facilities, and identify LID as a key tool for sustainable development. The General Plan establishes a four-year review cycle where the Envision San José 2040 Task Force and the FY 2022-2023 Annual Report C.3 – New Development and Redevelopment Permittee Name: City of San José

Fill in attached table C.3.b.iv.(2) or attach your own table including the same information.
Fifty-one C.3 Regulated Projects were approved in FY 22-23. This is an increase from the 50 approved in FY 21-22. Three of the FY 22-23 C.3 Regulated Projects approved are public projects. The remaining 48 are private projects comprised of 13 residential, 22 non-residential (commercial, office, educational, or industrial), and 12 mixed-use projects. Six projects were required to provide Hydromodification Management Controls which consisted of bioretention areas with outlet controls and underground vaults that were all sized using the Bay Area Hydrology Model (BAHM). Information for three previously reported public projects using alternative compliance was updated in this year’s report.
Over three-quarters of the Regulated Projects planted trees adjacent to impervious areas and directed runoff to vegetated areas. Nearly 90% of the projects used beneficial landscaping or storm drain stenciling, and approximately 95% used water efficient irrigation systems. Bioretention or Planter Boxes were included in 45 out of the 50 projects and 17 of the projects used Media Filter Systems as a treatment control measure (Special Projects).

Provide a discussion of the inspection findings for the year and any common problems encountered with various types of treatment systems and/or HM controls. This discussion should include a general comparison to the inspection findings from the previous year.
Summary:
The City met the requirement to inspect an average of 20%, but no less than 15% of the total number of C.3 Regulated Project sites. In FY 22-23, staff inspected a total of 133 sites out of 562 from the previous fiscal year total which equates to 23%. Stormwater treatment measures at approximately one fourth of the sites inspected were maintained and in good working order. The percentage of inadequate stormwater treatment measures was slightly higher compared to the number reported last fiscal year.
In FY 22-23, bioretention basins and vegetated swales comprised most stormwater treatment systems inspected under the Stormwater Treatment Measure O&M Inspection Program. Consistent with FY 21-22, the most common problems observed were related to inadequate vegetation, presence of nuisance vegetation, absence of mulch, poor irrigation regime, obstructions, and poor drainage. The O&M inspection program saw less structural damage in landscape-based treatment systems compared to previous fiscal years. Inspectors required responsible parties with

violations to make corrections such as removing nuisance vegetation, adding appropriate vegetation, adding mulch, removing trash and debris/sediment, repairing structural deficiencies, as well as making sure that the irrigation system is performing as intended.
The most common issues associated with vault-based systems (i.e., media filters, etc.) were missing maintenance records and inadequate service frequency. Inspectors required responsible parties to service, repair, and provide maintenance documentation for vault-based systems. Inspectors also provided maintenance guidance materials to responsible parties and required increases in service frequency when needed.
In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health orders, the City revised and updated its Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for conducting Operations and Maintenance (O&M) inspections. These updates included additional procedures intended to minimize the risk of exposure and transmission of the coronavirus. These procedures continued into early parts of FY 22-23.
Inspectors granted property owners additional time beyond the typical 30 days to complete corrective actions where necessary. Some property owners faced delays completing required repairs due to supply chain issues at the start of FY 22-23, which resulted in a higher number of violations taking over 30 days to resolve.
The City also verified the proper installation of 245 newly installed stormwater treatment systems at 34 C.3 Regulated Project sites under the Stormwater Treatment Measure Installation Verification Program in FY 22-23. City staff worked closely with developers to ensure the proper installation of stormwater treatment systems.
Provide a discussion of the effectiveness of the O&M Program and any proposed changes to improve the O&M Program (e.g., changes in prioritization plan or frequency of O&M inspections, other changes to improve effectiveness program).
Summary:
The overall goal of the City’s Stormwater Treatment Measure (STM) Inspection Program is to ensure the proper installation and ongoing operation and maintenance of stormwater treatment systems. San José staff have been effective at accomplishing this goal by ensuring both minor and significant problems identified during inspections are corrected. Inspectors work to prevent future problems by educating the responsible parties of maintenance requirements and providing outreach material such as plant guidance for bioretention facilities, maintenance information, and manufacturers’ recommended maintenance procedures for vault-based treatment systems.
In FY 22-23, the total number of C.3 Regulated Project sites in the O&M Inspection Program grew to 615 sites. The City used the digital platform updated in FY 20-21, which includes ArcGIS software and Survey123 programs for reporting and monitoring new installation verifications. These programs allow City staff to efficiently track and report installation data in real-time, collect GPS coordinates, and photographs. The City also implemented an Early Outreach and Assessment Program to enhance the STM program’s effectiveness. This initiative aims to improve community knowledge of STM O&M and foster better relationship with STM owners and operators. This proactive approach facilitates establishment of early contact and prioritization of inspections. It is hoped that the program will contribute to increased compliance rate and optimize the functionality of Stormwater Treatment Systems under the City’s jurisdiction in future years.

In FY 22-23, the City conducted seven Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Maintenance Field Guide trainings for 74 Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) maintenance staff and 40 Resilience Corp members contracted to assist with stormwater treatment measure maintenance. The City also continued to provide guidance to other City maintenance staff members and contractors by sharing the GSI Maintenance Field Guide when requested. During their O&M inspections, inspectors highlight the contents of the GSI Maintenance Field Guide with special emphasis on the inspection checklist, maintenance standards, and maintenance guidelines.
The O&M Inspection team provided a presentation to San José State University’s (SJSU) engineering program related to GSI maintenance and design. City Staff also presented at the Northern California Facilities Expo on September 22, 2022 covering GSI with emphasis on O&M. The City continues to provide outreach materials to property owners related to proper operation and maintenance of landscape and vault-based stormwater treatment measures during these inspections. These materials have been translated into Spanish and Vietnamese.
C.3.i. ►Required Site Design Measures for Small Projects and Smaller Detached Single Family Home Projects
On an annual basis, discuss the implementation of the requirements of Provision C.3.i, including ordinance revisions, permit conditions, development of standard specifications and/or guidance materials, and staff training.
Summary:
The City’s Municipal Code (Title 20: Zoning) ( https://library.municode.com/ca/san_jose/codes/code_of_ordinances) and City Council Policy 6-29:
Post Construction Urban Runoff Management (https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/99034/638216607816370000) require small projects and detached single family home projects to implement at least one of the site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i.
Additionally, Title 17 (Buildings and Construction – Title 17.72.530) of the Municipal Code requires ministerial single-family home projects (projects not subject to Planning permits), to direct all roof runoff to landscaped areas, or implement one of the other site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i. BASMAA prepared standard specifications in four fact sheets regarding the site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i, as a resource for Permittees. The City modified local ordinances/policies/procedures and forms/checklists to require all applicable projects approved after December 1, 2012 to implement at least one of the site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i.

Section 4 – Provision C.4 Industrial and Commercial Site Controls
Program Highlights and Evaluation
Highlight/summarize activities for reporting year:
Summary:
Regional Collaboration
The City is an active participant in the Santa Clara Valley Regional Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program’s (SCVURPPP) Industrial and Commercial and Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination Ad Hoc Task Group (IND/IDDE AHTG). Additionally, the City continues to share information on mobile businesses and mobile business enforcement with the IND/IDDE AHTG.
Facility Inspections
The City initially assigned 2,800 facilities for inspection in FY 22-23 and completed inspections for 1,889 facilities. This represents a 12% decrease in the number of businesses inspected from FY 21-22. The IND group had several vacancies during the fiscal year. This likely contributed to the reduction in inspections.
Inspectors found and documented 19 actual discharge violations and 609 potential discharge violations at 432 facilities. The rate of correcting identified violations within 10 business days or in an otherwise timely manner was approximately 90%. In FY 22-23, a total of 2,578 inspections were conducted; a 19% decrease from FY 21-22.
Annual Training
The City conducted an internal training event for IND inspectors on 6/27/2023. Topics included:
1. Enforcements procedures during rain events
2. IDDE complaint reporting
3. Enforcement Timelines
4. Safety
5. Sources of Copper Pollution and BMPs
C.4.b.iii.(1) ► Business License Applications
Provide a brief description below of which Permittee entity or entities are responsible for reviewing and approving business license applications, or provide a link to your website for business license applications.
The City does not issue business licenses. The City’s Finance Department processes Business Tax Certificates. Website link:

4-2
C.4.d.iii.(1)(a) & (c) ► Facility Inspections
Fill out the following table or attach a summary of the following information. Indicate your reporting methodology below.
Permittee reports multiple, discrete, potential and actual discharges at a site as one enforcement action.
X Permittee reports the total number of discrete potential and actual discharges at each site.
Number
Total number of inspections conducted (C.4.d.iii.(1)(a)) 2,578 Total number of enforcement actions, or discrete number of potential and actual discharges resolved within 10 working days or otherwise deemed resolved in a longer but still timely manner (C.4.d.iii.(1)(c)) 565
Comments:
The number of violations equals the number of discrete issues identified at facilities. 432 of the 1,889 facilities inspected in FY 22-23 were in violation. The number of sites inspected in violation equals the number of facilities inspected in the reporting year that had at least one discrete violation documented.
The City stresses timely resolution of violations. City inspectors document the rationale for each violation that is not corrected in a timely manner.
Summarized below are the reasons given for violations that were not corrected in a timely manner in FY 22-23 (i.e. a breakdown of the approximately 10% of violations resolved in more than 10 working days):
• 1.91% - due to responsible party not taking any action within 10 business days • 2.55% - due to scheduling conflict between inspectors and facility managers • 4.30% - due to the corrective action being incomplete or insufficient • 1.27% - due to delays getting property management involved in resolution of violation Violations not resolved timely took, on average, 7 business days to resolve past the 10 business day cutoff.

Provide background information, highlights, trends, etc.
Summary:
Outfall Screening
The City screens its storm sewer collection system for illicit discharges and connections in conjunction with its existing outfall inspection and maintenance program. This includes screening of outfalls that drain industrial areas. In FY 22-23, a total of 498 outfalls were screened. No illicit discharge incidents were reported during this screening.
Regional Collaboration
The City actively participated in the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Ad Hoc Task Group (IDDE AHTG) meetings and on multiple projects. The group met regularly to share and discuss issues. The group continues to update the countywide mobile business inventory and mail the BMP brochure and letter to new businesses as well as share enforcement actions taken against mobile businesses that cross jurisdictions. A complete summary of countywide and regional activities is included in the SCVURPPP FY 22-23 Annual Report.
IDDE Complaint Response Evaluation
The City responded to 291 complaints in FY 22-23. The City makes every effort to respond to complaints on the same day they are received, and no later than three business days from the date the complaint was received. The percentage of violations corrected in a timely manner was approximately 98%. The categories with the highest number of complaints were sanitary spill or leak, oil and grease, vehicle or equipment leaking, and water line breaks.

Comments:
The construction site categories listed above includes sites that are under demolition if they have the potential to be classified under one of the construction categories listed above once construction begins. These demolition sites are assigned a “< 1 acre” disturbed area in the City’s database if the area disturbed is unidentified. All hillside projects are chosen based on the City’s map of Geologic Hazard or Landslide Seismic Hazard Zones disturbing greater than or equal to 5,000 square feet. High priority sites are considered significant threats to water quality due to the following: soil erosion potential or soil type, site slope, project size and type, sensitivity of receiving waterbodies, proximity to receiving waterbodies, non-stormwater discharges, and other relevant factors. Many of the high priority sites from FY 22-23 have been included because of their proximity to receiving waterbodies.
Provide the number of inspections that are conducted at sites not within the above categories as part of your agency’s inspection program and a general description of those sites, if available or applicable.

Enforcement actions or discrete potential and actual discharges fully corrected within 10 business days after violations are discovered or otherwise considered corrected in a timely period (C.6.e.iii.1.h) 142
Comments: In FY 22-23, there were a total of 146 violations at 170 sites, of which, 97% (142), were fully corrected within 10 business days or otherwise considered corrected in a timely period.
During FY 22-23, there were four violations that were not resolved within 10 business days due to the responsible party’s failure to complete all required remedial actions by the required due date. These construction sites received escalated enforcement and the violations were ultimately resolved.
In San José, the total number of violations equals the number of discrete potential and actual discharges identified at construction sites that result in an enforcement action. It does not equal the number of enforcement actions because 1) a single enforcement action may be issued to address multiple violations and 2) a site may be issued a second (or multiple) enforcement action(s) progressively to achieve compliance.

C.8 ►Water Quality Monitoring
State below if information is reported in a separate regional report. Municipalities can also describe below any Water Quality Monitoring activities in which they participate directly, e.g. participation in RMP workgroups, fieldwork within their jurisdictions, etc.
Summary:
Most monitoring activities required in the stormwater Permit are implemented at either the regional level through the Bay Area Municipal Stormwater Collaborative (BAMSC) or the countywide level through the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (Program). However, the City also participates directly in local, countywide, and regional monitoring activities. This includes participation in numerous committees, workgroups, and strategy teams for the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP); the BAMSC Monitoring and Pollutants of Concern (MPC) Committee; the BAMSC Regional Monitoring Coalition (RMC); the BAMSC Trash and LID Workgroups; and the Program’s Monitoring and Pollutants of Concern Ad Hoc Task Groups and monitoring projects. For additional information on regional and countywide monitoring studies and work products, please see the Program’s Annual Report and Urban Creeks Monitoring Report for Water Year 2022 (October 2021 – September 2022); dated March 31, 2023, available online at https://scvurppp.org/2023/03/28/urban-creeks-monitoring-report-water-year-2022/.
Regional Participation
City staff participates directly in Regional and Countywide water quality monitoring efforts. This year, City staff actively participated in planning and review activities for the RMP, serving on the Steering Committee; Technical Review Committee; Sources, Pathways, and Loadings workgroup, Emerging Contaminant workgroup; Microplastics workgroup; PCBs workgroup; Sediment workgroup; and Sport Fish Monitoring team. Through this participation, the City helped develop work products and prioritize information needs for regional monitoring projects. In FY 22-23, the City reviewed and provided comments on RMP study reports and RMP Update drafts. Financial support for the RMP is a requirement of both the stormwater and wastewater NPDES Permits, and the City has met this obligation since the RMP’s inception.
City staff participated directly in the BAMSC Monitoring and POC Committee, which coordinates stormwater monitoring requirements regionwide. City staff also participated in numerous workgroups, including BAMSC MRP 3.0 C.8 internal and external workgroup meetings.

Local Monitoring
City staff participates directly in the Program’s Monitoring and Pollutants of Concern Ad Hoc Task Group, which plans and prioritizes local monitoring projects in Santa Clara County. City staff provided review and comment on the Urban Creeks Monitoring Report for Water Year 2022 (UCMR), submitted to the Water Board on March 31, 2023. Staff aided the planning and implementation of multiple components of the UCMR and specifically, Low Impact Development (LID) Monitoring and Trash Monitoring.
Staff conducted post-storm inspections of its storm water pump stations and visual surveys for fish kills and/or water quality impacts in local waterways. Inspections and surveys occur one business day after a rain event delivering a quarter inch or more of precipitation. Pump station inspections are focused on stations that discharge directly to a waterbody, and visual surveys focus on the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek.

Section 9 – Provision C.9 Pesticides Toxicity Controls
C.9.a. ►Implement IPM Policy or Ordinance
Is your municipality implementing its IPM Policy/Ordinance and Standard Operating Procedures? X Yes No If no, explain:
Provide links to IPM policies or ordinances and IPM standard operating procedures:
https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/environmental-services/homes-green-tips-resources/gardening- composting/pesticides-and-integrated-pest-management-ipm
Report implementation of IPM BMPs by showing trends in quantities and types of pesticides used, and suggest reasons for increases in use of pesticides that threaten water quality, specifically organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, fipronil, indoxacarb, diuron, and diamides. A separate report can be attached as evidence of your implementation.
Overall, pesticide use in the City of San José continued to remain low. Some usages of the reportable active ingredients were applied in a way that did not expose them to potential runoff or limited the potential for that exposure. Many of the reported uses were indoors and/or in the form of contained baits. In FY 22-23, there was an increase in Deltamethrin usage due to product rotation changes. The product was used to treat ant activity at various City sites, such as an animal shelter, though it can be used to treat a wide spectrum of pests and has been proven to keep general pest populations under threshold. There was also an increase in Cyfluthrin, as a product was added to the rotation to prevent immunity.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, products were only applied when absolutely necessary; this lead to increased infestations, which requires broader product usage. With restrictions being relaxed or eliminated, City sites are able to have more regular services to control infestations rather than waiting. This should reduce the amount of product used over time. The City has requested that less-toxic products be explored, as the amount of Deltamethrin and Cyfluthrin used has increased significantly compared to previous years. The City continued to emphasize a preference for less and non-toxic products with all external vendors and City staff. No Organophosphates, Carbamates, Diuron, or Diamides were used.

IPM Tactics and Strategies Used:
• Continued using the SharePoint data entry and tracking portal for City staff and external vendors to streamline pesticide analysis and verify the use of alternative treatments and IPM methods • The most commonly used Alternative Treatment Method for invertebrates was insect monitoring traps. • Top alternative methods used for weed control included hand pulling and line trimming for weed and invasive plant control on a more frequent basis in sensitive and fire prone areas. Most common weed types in order of frequency are mallows and foxtails. • Main target pests in structural settings included vertebrate pests. • Used nest boxes to recruit barn owls in 13 City parks, two community gardens, and a public high school to help control small rodent populations naturally.

ESD staff trained 145 municipal staff, 127 of which could handle or apply pesticides per their job description, on the City’s IPM Policy via an in- person seminar. Of the 127 applicators trained, 54 of them applied pesticides to City sites. ESD staff provided Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Best Management Practices (BMPs), which are available to staff on the City’s public IPM website at https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/environmental-services/homes-green-tips-resources/gardening- composting/pesticides-and-integrated-pest-management-ipm
C.9.c ►Require Contractors to Implement IPM
Did your municipality contract with any pesticide service provider in the reporting year, for either landscaping or structural pest control? X
Yes
No
If yes, did your municipality evaluate the contractor’s list of pesticides and amounts of active ingredients used? X
Yes
No
If your municipality contracted with any pesticide service provider, briefly describe how contractor compliance with IPM Policy/Ordinance and SOPs was monitored.
City of San José staff continued to work with contractors who apply pesticides on City properties to maintain clear communication of expectations and reporting requirements. ESD staff review contractor’s pesticide inventory lists and encourage them to select appropriate alternative practices or products to ensure adherence to the City’s IPM policy. City staff conducted virtual meetings and trainings with external vendors regarding the City’s IPM policy, SOPs, and BMPs. ESD staff continues to provide support on updating standard contract language so that it requires adherence to the City’s IPM policy and is actively part of the contract bidding process to ensure awareness of the IPM policy expectations by all City departments, as well as current and potential contractors.
The City continues to use the online data reporting system launched in January 2018 to efficiently capture information about applications, target pests, and alternative treatment practices. Contractors can report treatment data through a mobile friendly form. The online system also streamlines the analysis process by auto-calculating ingredients of concern. Contractors continue to provide feedback on the online reporting system to further improve record keeping and data analysis of IPM methods.

See Section 9 of the SCVURPPP FY 22-23 Annual Report for summary of communication with the Santa Clara County Agricultural Commissioner.
San José’s communications are described below:
On September 22, 2022, Department of Transportation staff met with the Commissioner to discuss a beetle found along Capitol Expressway that was infesting a median tree. The beetle was sent to the State’s lab for identification and was determined to be a Flatheaded Wood Borer (Dicera sp.), which is a C-rated pest.
Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services met with the Commissioner on October 27, 2022. The Commissioner performed an inspection of one of the City’s chemical storage areas, as well as the application and training records, while ensuring that proper PPE and signage was available in employee areas. There were no violations.
Department of Transportation staff also coordinated with the Commissioner in June 2023 after staff discovered oak trees with concerning cankers.
They discussed the sampling & potential testing procedures for Phytophthora, and the potential for spread.
Did your municipality report any observed or citizen-reported violations of pesticide regulations (e.g., illegal handling and applications of pesticides) associated with stormwater management, particularly the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) surface water protection regulations for outdoor, nonagricultural use of pyrethroid pesticides by any person performing pest control for hire.

Provide the following:
1. Total number and types of full capture systems (publicly and privately-owned) installed during FY 22-23, and prior to FY 22-23, including inlet-based and large flow-through or end-of-pipe systems, and qualifying low impact development (LID) required by permit provision C.3.
2. Total land area (acres) treated by full capture systems for population-based Permittees and total number of systems for flood management agencies compared to the total required by the permit.

60 In FY 21-22, the number of connector pipe screen (CPS) devices decreased by one due to a missing CPS reported on Wool Creek Drive. 61 In FY 21-22, the reported acres treated by CPSs increased by one acre due to refinements of treatment areas that were made as a result of the analyses described in the footnote above. 62 In FY 21-22, the reported acres treated by hydrodynamic separator (HDS) systems increased by 28 acres due to refinements of treatment areas that were made as a result of the analyses described in the footnote above. 63 In accordance with Permit provision C.10.a.ii(a), stormwater treatment facilities (i.e., bioretention) implemented in accordance with Provision C.3 are deemed a full capture system if the facility, including its maintenance, prevents the discharge of trash to the downstream MS4 and receiving waters and discharge points from the facility, including overflows, are appropriately screened or otherwise configured to meet the full trash capture screening specification for storm flows up to the full trash capture one year, one hour storm hydraulic specification. Based on this definition, the City has applied a conservative assumption to determine which multi-benefit bioretention facilities should be counted as trash full capture systems. Currently, the City only deems bioretention facilities that are constructed after July 1, 2010 and at a size of at least 3% of the drainage management area (DMA) with a 6-inch ponding depth to meet the trash full capture definition. A technical memorandum describing the analysis conducted by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Program (SCVURPPP) that supports these criteria is included in the SCVRUPPP FY 21-22 Annual Report (see Section 10 of the SCVURPPP report).

C.10.a.ii(b) ►Trash Generation Area Management - Private Lands As described in MRP 3.0 Provision C.10.a.ii(b), private properties that 1) generate moderate, high, or very high level of trash, 2) are plumbed to the City of San José’s MS4, and 3) are not already addressed by a FTC system/device are required to install and maintain a FTC system/device or be managed by trash discharge control actions equivalent to or better than a FTC system/device by July 1, 2025. To address trash contributions from these properties, which are referred to as Private Land Drainage Areas (PLDAs), the City began building and implementing a PLDA Trash Assessment Program in FY 22-23. Through the Trash Assessment Program, PLDAs will be assessed utilizing the standard OVTA protocols. For PLDA sites with observed trash levels on the property greater than low trash generation, property owners and/or managers will be required to implement additional trash control measures, up to and including installation of FTC, to achieve low trash generation. The City of San José has identified approx. 2400 sites to assess.
C.10.b.i and ii► Trash Reduction - Full Capture Systems Provide the following:
1) Jurisdiction-wide trash reduction in FY 22-23 attributable to trash full capture systems implemented in each TMA; 2) The total number of full capture systems installed to-date in your jurisdiction; 3) The percentage of systems in FY 22-23 that exhibited significant plugged/blinded screens or were >50% full when inspected or maintained; 4) A narrative summary of any maintenance issues and the corrective actions taken to avoid future full capture system performance issues; and 5) A certification that each full capture system is operated and maintained to meet the full capture system requirements in the permit.

devices manufactured by Jensen Precast were
installed at the end of FY 22-23. City staff
maintained the 34 devices in accordance with
manufacturer guidelines. Aside from a few
minor deviations discussed below, the devices
were also maintained in accordance with the
City's revised Full Trash Capture Device-Specific
Maintenance Plan (Plan). The Plan is evaluated
annually based on data analysis and updated
as necessary.
In August 2022 a Full Trash Capture Device
Maintenance Training for engineering and
maintenance staff was conducted. The training
covered Permit requirements, inspection and
cleaning procedures, and lessons learned from
past activities. City staff will continue to conduct
this training annually and on an as-need basis.
In late September 2022, City staff hosted a Water
Board staff member who came to see CDS,
DSBB, and Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) devices.
In March 2023, City staff hosted a site visit at the
Oswego Drive double CDS system for a group of
Caltrans staff seeking to understand the
operation and maintenance of that device
type.

The two CDS devices installed at the end of FY
22-23 received maintenance in accordance
with manufacturer guidelines. The previously
installed 26 CDS devices were cleaned during
the summer and inspected prior to the mid-
October beginning of the wet season. After the
first major rain event of the season (greater than
0.25 inches) which occurred September 19, city
staff began performing routine inspections per
the frequencies and rainfall triggers assigned to
each device in the Plan, and cleaning them as
needed.
Inspection frequencies were established based
on analysis of past maintenance histories,
performance of each device compared with
the annual precipitation profile and cumulative
rainfall totals. Devices were identified for
cleaning when the sump was observed to be
90% or more full to better ensure cleaning took
place before the 100% full trigger was reached.
Of the 28 devices, 15 devices were assigned
monthly inspections, five devices were assigned
quarterly inspections, and six devices were
assigned twice per year inspections. Additional
inspection criteria based on cumulative rainfall
triggers and sump fullness was assigned for nine
devices.
In FY 22-23, city staff performed a total of 147
inspections and 82 cleanings of the 28 devices.
Of those cleanings, 58 cleanings were of the
devices requiring monthly inspections, twelve
cleanings were of those with a quarterly
inspection frequency, and twelve cleanings

were of the four devices receiving twice per
year inspections. The depth of solids within the
sump area of the devices continued to be the
trigger for all cleanings. The South Sunset Avenue
(#107) and 33rd Street/Melody Lane (#122)
devices continued to receive special
maintenance between cleanings to remove
floatable debris prior to any rain forecast of 0.25
inches or greater. In some cases, maintenance
activities differed from the Plan due to a
combination of factors, such as rain events high
creek levels, and staff illnesses. These differences
did not affect the functionality of the devices
and no issues were caused. All devices were
cleaned in accordance with manufacturer
guidelines to ensure proper device operation
and to comply with full trash capture
requirements.
DSBB (Debris Separating Baffle Box)
Maintenance:
All six DSBB devices were cleaned during the
summer and inspected prior to the mid-October
beginning of the wet season. City staff cleaned
the screens of the Guadalupe Parkway device
monthly and, after the first major rain event of
the season (greater than 0.25 inches) which
occurred on September 19, began performing
routine inspections per the quarterly and rainfall
trigger assigned to all devices and conducting
monthly screen cleanings.

inspections and all devices were identified to be
inspected after rain events of at least 0.25
inches. In addition, the Plan includes that the
screens of all six DSBB devices will be cleaned
monthly during the wet season except the
Guadalupe Parkway device (#129) which will be
cleaned monthly year-round.
In FY 22-23, city staff conducted a total of 47
inspections, 55 screen cleanings to clear blinded
screens, and seven full device cleanings. During
inspections, staff assessed filtration screen fullness
and debris depth in sediment chambers,
confirmed the cage rails and screen doors were
functioning properly, and took pictures and
videos. Only the Fruitdale Ave device (#127) was
triggered for a full cleaning after the pre-season
cleaning. For only the Rock Springs Drive device
(#128), maintenance activities differed from the
maintenance Plan due to high creek levels.
These differences did not affect the functionality
of the devices and no issues were caused. All
devices were cleaned in accordance with
manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper
device operation and to comply with full trash
capture requirements.

Staff responded to a sanitary sewage spill in July
2022 that reached the Oswego Drive devices
(#110-#111). The issue was immediately
investigated, and the cause determined to be a
blockage in the sanitary system which
discharged sewage into the storm line upstream
of these devices. Staff notified the appropriate
agencies about the sanitary sewage spill into the
waterway and cleaned the device. Device
functionality was not impacted.
Screen and stanchion damage was discovered
in the Lone Bluff Ave device (#114) during the
pre-season cleaning. During repair of the Balfour
Drive (#115) screen, the contractor discovered
additional screen damage. A procurement was
conducted to establish an agreement with an
on-call contractor to fix the damaged Balfour
and Lone Bluff screens. The initial round of
bidding did not yield any respondents, so a
second bid was issued in June 2023.
Lock-down manhole covers were installed at the
Selma Olinder Park (#103) device in October
2022 to prevent further illegal dumping. Due to
an extreme number of significant rainfall events
this wet season and an incidence where several
staff were out at the same time due to a serious
illness, maintenance activities differed slightly
from the Plan. Beginning in late December
through the end of March, we experienced 23
rain events of greater than 0.25” each of which
triggered inspections for many of the devices. All
required inspections were inspected as quickly
as possible between the rain events. Eleven

- Oswego Dr S., #116 – Fullerton Ct., #118 -
Dupont & San Carlos St, #122 - N. 33rd &
Melody,#125 - Sonora Ave. The Fullerton Court
device (#116) was not cleaned prior to the end
of the fiscal year due to high creek levels which
caused water to backflow into the device past
the rusted-open flapgate. Despite being unable
to conduct a full cleaning of this device, it
continued to receive special maintenance to
remove floatable debris prior to any rain forecast
of 0.25 inches or greater.
DSBB Devices:
The DSBB devices continued to demand more
staff time to inspect and clean due to traffic
control and confined space entry requirements,
both of which add time. Each device has four
hatches which pose safety concerns when
open, so work is slower while the hatches are
open. Devices in high traffic areas with hatches
bolted down posed another challenge. To open
the hatches prior to DSBB maintenance, bolts
had to be cleaned with a leaf blower and
broom then removed with a hand drill. Bolts
were difficult to re-insert after maintenance due
to misaligned hatches, debris blockage, or
stripped threads. Staff found the removable
screen doors did not always easily slide open
because of dirt and debris caught between the

to spray high-pressure water to loosen the debris
to slide the doors open.
Only one device, the Fruitdale Avenue device
(#127), reached the cleaning trigger of a screen
more than 50% full of debris However, all screens
were observed to be blinded with leafy debris
after every one of the 23 significant rain events.
The extreme number of rainfall events resulted in
more inspections and maintenance activities
than last year. All devices were inspected, and
screen cleaned per the Device Specific Plan
except for the Rock Springs Dr & Needles Dr.
device (#128) due to a hydraulic block formed
in front of the flap gate in the downstream
manhole. The device continued to receive
special maintenance between rain events by
removing the floatable debris prior to any rain
forecast of 0.25 inches or greater.
As similar to previous years, after every rain event
of greater than 0.25 inches, floatable items were
found outside the filtration screens in sediment
chambers two and three at all six devices. These
items were removed using a pool skimmer.
2. CPS (Connector Pipe Screen) Maintenance:
The City maintained 107 inlet-based Connector
Pipe Screen (CPS) devices in FY 22-23. Staff
continued to follow the CPS device

requirements in the Plan which served as an SOP
to establish inspection and cleaning protocols to
ensure Permit requirements were met. All 107

devices were inspected and cleaned prior to
the beginning of the wet season in October
2022. More CPS devices were triggered for
cleaning this fiscal year, and there was an
increase in the number of times some devices
were triggered.
Of the 107 devices inspected after the pre-
season cleaning, 34 devices never exhibited
conditions that required cleaning, 63 devices
exhibited conditions that required one cleaning,
and 10 devices required two cleanings. Trends
and cleaning frequencies from previous years,
recent device conditions, proximity to other
large trash capture device inspections,
cumulative precipitation, the amount of leaf
drop, and trash generation in the area were
considered when prioritizing device inspections.
Inlet debris reaching 50% or more of the CPS
screen height remained the most common
trigger for cleanings. The two inlets where
Automatic Retractable Screens (ARS) devices
were coupled with CPS devices were not
triggered for cleaning.

C.10.b.iii(a) ► Trash Reduction – Other Trash Management Actions Provide a summary of trash control actions other than full capture systems or jurisdictional source controls that were implemented within each TMA, including the types of actions, levels, timing, frequency, and areal extent of implementation, whether actions are new, including initiation date, and information relevant to effective implementation of the action or combination of actions.
TMA Summary of Trash Control Actions Other than Full Capture Systems 1 • TMA 1 includes all areas treated by Large Full Trash Capture systems (Hydrodynamic Separators). • Partial Trash Capture Devices: The City has 97 Automatic Retractable Screens (ARS), which are a type of partial trash capture device with perforated screens or evenly spaced bars and are designed to fit outside or immediately within the storm drain curb opening. Curb inlet screens appear to be very effective at blocking larger trash items, such as bottles or plastic bags, but their trash reduction effectiveness decreases for smaller trash items. Acreage and percent load reduction is currently not accounted for, since it is considered a partial trash capture, and not an approved full trash capture system. 2 • Adopt-A-Park: The Adopt-A-Park is a long-term volunteer program that recruits and trains environmentally conscious residents and corporate entities to help enhance the overall safety and quality of City parks. The program also focuses its efforts in providing equitable engagements with Community Day events throughout the City of San José. Through the Adopt-A-Park Program, participants assist in the general care and maintenance of neighborhood and regional parks, and open spaces in San José. Tasks include removing litter and invasive plants, sweeping, raking, trimming, cleaning and removing dangerous debris. As of FY 22-23, ninety (90) parks have been adopted. • Neighborhood Litter Program: The Neighborhood Litter Program (NLP), formally known as the Anti-Litter Program, monitors litter “hot spots” throughout the City, which require regular and extensive volunteer cleanup efforts to combat neighborhood trash as well as help report illegal dumping. In addition, the NLP partners with Valley Water and other one-time service projects such as Coastal Cleanup Day, to provide agencies with supplies, tools and trash disposal for their volunteers. The NLP hosted a relaunch of the Great American Litter Pick Up event on Saturday, April 22, 2023. NLP volunteers collected 1,097 bags, hosted 1,191 volunteers at 51sites city wide, additionally 3,754 of volunteers collected 3,441 of bags as the NLP hosted 80 events throughout the month of April. For FY 22-23, the NLP volunteers and one-day service groups contributed 17,085 hours and collected 17,771 bags of trash.
• Public Litter Cans: The City currently has a total of 1,332 PLCs in service. New PLC requests from the public can be submitted for review through the PLC Service Request Form. Locations of additional public litter cans (PLCs) were determined through comparison of trash generation rates and land use, as well as pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The majority of these cans were installed in high and moderate trash generation areas.
• Integrated Waste Management Enforcement Team: In 2012, the City initiated a solid waste inspection program. The solid waste inspection program is proactive, as well as complaint-based. Inspectors continue to monitor areas where garbage service has been paused or canceled to ensure refuse is not accumulating. They alert businesses to issues with the management of debris bins and waste storage areas and provide information on the City’s garbage and recycling programs and Municipal Codes. Inspectors also enforce and report unauthorized haulers, proper collection set out, and other concerns observed while in the field. In 2022, the City adopted municipal code that would allow for the enforcement of AB1276, the Single-use Food Accessories and Condiments law. The law has the goal of reducing single-use condiments

In January 2023, food establishments were mailed outreach related to this law. Site visits to conduct outreach and enforcement at food establishments will begin during the first half of 2023.
• Waste Management for Your Special Event: The City of San José provides free dumpster service for public events on public property with at least 2,000 daily attendees and ensures all waste is sorted to recover organics and recyclables. The program tracks total tons of waste collected annually. During FY 22-23, the City provided free dumpster services at 85 events.
• Litter Enforcement: The City of San José Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement Department, enforces the provision of the community preservation code (Title 17.72), specifically 17.72.545, which prohibits the accumulation of visible solid waste, prohibits the storage of solid waste that would allow it to be transported by wind or otherwise onto any street or neighboring property, and prohibits the visible accumulation of litter and debris in vestibules or doorways of buildings. Violation to this provision is usually complaint based. In FY 22-23, 104 citations were issued for noncompliance with the above municipal code.
• Industrial and Commercial Inspections: The City of San José Industrial and Commercial Stormwater Inspection program is designed to direct inspector resources toward facilities with a higher potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater. This prioritization considers the type of business and the compliance history of a facility in establishing inspection frequency. The program includes more than 7,700 businesses in its inspection inventory. The program tracks inspection dates, business type (Standard Industrial Classification [SIC]), compliance history, and educational material distribution such as Best Management Practices. Program performance is measured by percent of stormwater violations identified at industrial/commercial facilities resolved within ten business days. See section C.4 for inspection data during FY 22-23. • Community Engagement/Public Education: The City of San José takes a strategic approach to event selection based on family-friendly community events, TMA’s, targeted audience, and collaborative campaign efforts. The City aims to deliver stormwater pollution prevention messages to diverse audiences by using a variety of outreach materials, including multilingual (English, Spanish, Vietnamese) literature and information to its diverse population, and giveaways that are available in the City’s outreach tool kit, which cover subjects such as pesticide use impacts on stormwater, reusable bags, household hazardous waste disposal, seed packets, and path of stormwater. The City collaborates with other local and regional agencies and community organizations to reach residents of all ages and interests. See section C.7 for outreach data.
• Business Intelligence Data Tracking System: The City’s Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department uses HxGN EAM, a maintenance management software, to collect data related to the maintenance activities across all park districts.
One of the maintenance activities being tracked is ‘Garbage/ Litter Maintenance’. Data on the amount of materials and labor involved with this activity is analyzed to inform better management of trash reduction. • Park Ranger Patrols: In FY 18-19, the Park Rangers began conducting joint patrols along San José’s waterways with San José Police Department’s Secondary Employment Unit (SJPD). Due to short staffing, and County of Santa Clara public health orders associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Rangers did not conduct any joint patrols with SJPD in FY 20-21 to address unlawful encampments.

PRNS is instead funding an Overtime team of police officers on bikes to patrol portions of the Coyote Creek Trail and the Guadalupe River Trail. • Downtown San José Property-Based Improvement District: In 2007, the City supported the successful establishment of the Downtown San José Property Based Improvement District (PBID); the PBID was renewed in 2022 for an additional 10 years.
With renewal the PBID also increased the boundaries of the District as well as moving from a two tier service plan to one unified service plan. Among its enhanced services, the PBID Groundwerx cleaning program provides sidewalk sweeping, power washing, litter and debris pickup, and maintenance of public litter cans daily within the PBID boundaries. • Removing and Preventing Illegal Dumping Team: In FY 16-17, the City’s Adopted Operating Budget included funding for a new team to respond to illegal dumping concerns, the Removing and Preventing Illegal Dumping (RAPID) Team. RAPID responds to reported illegal dumping incidents. RAPID also conducts proactive sweeps in various neighborhoods citywide, where illegal dumping occurs frequently and picks up any non-reported illegal dumping. In 2022, a Strike team was added to supplement the RAPID team's efforts toward illegal dumping abatement. In FY 22-23, the RAPID and Strike teams removed approximately 3,525 tons of material averaging 70 tons per week.
• Neighborhood Beautification Program: In FY19-20, the Neighborhood Beautification Program (NBP), formally known as the Dumpster Day Program, moved to the City’s PRNS – BeautifySJ program. The goal of the NBP is to provide San José residents with an alternative to disposing their unwanted household items in hopes of preventing items being placed out on the curb or illegally dumped. During fiscal year 22-23, the program hosted a total of 96 events, collected over 1,708,800 pounds of trash, and filled 389 bins.
• Free Junk Pickup: In FY 15-16, the City initiated a Free Junk Pickup service program. San José residents from single family homes and multi-family homes can schedule free appointments to have large items (such as mattresses, sofas, refrigerators, and tires) picked up by their recycling collection company. Resident participation continues to increase following the July 2017 program changes, when the program was made unlimited for residents. For FY 22-23, a total of 8522.5 tons of large item materials have been collected.
• Encampment Management Program: The City implements this program to focus on controlling sources of trash and implements multiple programs for people experiencing homelessness and the trash their encampments and activities generate. See Appendix 10-2 Direct Discharge Trash Control Plan Progress Report for more information. • Street Sweeping: The City’s Department of Transportation (DOT) manages street sweeping of main arterial, residential and commercial streets to support the City’s goal of maintaining clean streets and preventing trash and sediment from entering waterways. Residential streets are swept once a month and other areas are swept more frequently. In FY 19-20 DOT began to coordinate with the Department of Public Works (DPW) on street sweeping alterations to accommodate the new protected bike lanes. In FY 20-21, this coordination continued. In FY 22-23 there were no changes made to street sweeping data. • Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance: The City established the Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance effective January 1, 2012 that prohibits grocery stores, pharmacies, small and large retailers from providing single-use plastic carryout bags at checkout.
Stores may still provide paper bags made of 40% post-consumer recycled material and charge a minimum of 10 cents for each bag which is retained by the store. Many single-use plastic bags find their way into creeks, rivers, oceans, and highways as litter. Additionally, the bags are non-recyclable, contaminate recyclables and damage sorting equipment. This ordinance is enforced by the Integrated Waste Management Division of the Environmental Services Department. • Foam Food Container Ordinance: The City established the Foam Food Container Ordinance effective January 1, 2015 that requires all restaurants to use non-foam food service ware for both dine-in and takeout. This ordinance aims to reduce a pervasive and persistent type of litter by banning food service ware made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. EPS is

The City removed 1,935 cubic yards (168 tons) of trash from waterways in FY 22-23 through the combined efforts of a creek cleanup contractor and partner organizations including Creek Connections Actions Group (CCAG), South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition (SBCCC) and Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful (KCCB). City staff provide assistance to CCAG cleanups that includes planning, promotion, and provision of equipment and supplies. The locations, dates, and volumes of trash removed are detailed in the table in Appendix 10-4.
The City also conducted 46 additional contractor-led cleanups, where sites were cleaned at least twice. From these additional cleanups, 559 cubic yards (48.52 tons) were removed.
Furthermore, in FY 22-23, KCCB and SBCCC conducted a total of 77 cleanups where 2,712 volunteers removed 1,775 cubic yards (154 tons) of trash from San José’s creeks. Of this total, 1,374 cubic yards (119 tons) were from sites cleaned twice.
Using the formula provided in section C.10.e.i, the total volume of trash removed, 1,935 cubic yards (168 tons), yields a 13.5% trash load reduction offset. The Permit allows a 10% maximum offset cap, so the City will claim 10%.

C.12.g ► Manage PCB-Containing Materials and Wastes During Building Demolition Activities
Permittees seeking exemption from Provision C.12.g requirements based on lack of application structures must submit documentation, such as historic maps or other historic records, that clearly demonstrates that the only structures that existed pre-1980 were single-family residential and/or wood-frame structures.
Did your agency obtain an exemption from Provision C.12.g requirements? Yes X No Discuss enhancements to construction site control programs to minimize migration of PCBs from demolition activities into the MS4.
Summary:
Demolition inspections are currently conducted monthly during the wet season pursuant to the same construction site controls required in Provision C.6, to prevent discharges of pollutants from construction sites into the storm drain system. Inspections confirm implementation of appropriate and effective erosion control and other construction pollutant control best management practices by construction site operators/developers. Demolition sites are enforced upon following the Enforcement Response Plan.
In addition to wet season demolition inspections, the City will implement dry season inspections and when feasible, pre-demolition inspections, for applicable structures with PCBs concentrations of 50 mg/kg or greater prior to commencement of demolition.
Effective July 1, 2019, the City requires demolition project applicants to complete screening forms for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) prior to City approval of building demolitions on private and public property. The City receives the forms from applicants and provides documentation to the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP) on the number of applicable structures that applied for a demolition permit during the reporting year.
In FY 22-23, one (1) permit was issued for the demolition of an applicable structure prior to the applicant’s submittal of all required supporting documentation. Upon discovery, the City contacted the project applicant, and educated the applicant on the requirements of the PCBs screening process and conducting representative sampling for the applicable project. The City continues to follow up to obtain the required supporting documents for the applicable structure and will continue the investigation process.
See the Program’s FY 22-23 Annual Report for:
• Documentation of the number of applicable structures in each Permittee’s jurisdiction for which a demolition permit was applied for during the reporting year;
• A running list of the applicable structures that applied for a demolition permit since July 1, 2019, the number of samples each structure collected, and the concentration of PCBs in each sample; FY 2022-2023 Annual Report C.12 PCBs Controls

C.13.c.iii ►Industrial Sources Copper Reduction Results Based upon inspection activities conducted under Provision C.4, highlight copper reduction results achieved among the facilities identified as potential users or sources of copper, facilities inspected, and BMPs addressed.
Summary:
The City previously reviewed and identified by SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code, businesses likely to use copper or have sources of copper and added these facilities to the City’s Business Inspection Inventory. A fact sheet regarding rooftop sources of copper pollution and the SCVURPPP “Requirements for Copper Roofs and Other Architectural Copper” is available for distribution to select facilities. The City also continued to implement its “NOI Filers” project to increase awareness among industrial facilities of their obligations under the State’s Industrial General Permit (IGP) by providing them with BMPs and information alerting them to the requirements. IND inspectors receive annual training on industrial facilities likely to use copper or have sources of copper and proper BMPs for them.
In June 2023, the IND group conducted an in-house multimedia training event that reviewed commercial/industrial sources of copper and Best Management Practices for controlling copper in stormwater. The City continues to include businesses with SIC codes identified as having a higher potential to contribute copper to stormwater in its inspection inventory. All these business types are subject to the IGP.

Section 15 – Provision C.15 Exempted and Conditionally Exempted Discharges
C.15.b.iii.(3) ► Ongoing Implementation Practices
Annually report on the following ongoing practices:
• Ensuring proper BMPs and SOPs are included in contracts for non-municipal (contracted) staff hired by Permittees to assist with containment and cleanup, and to assist with prevention and mitigation of adverse impacts, of discharges associated with firefighting emergencies; and
• Evaluating the adequacy of large industrial sites’ BMPs and SOPs for the prevention, containment and cleanup of emergency firefighting discharges into storm drains and receiving waters within Permittees’ jurisdictions and cause those BMPs and SOPs to be improved as appropriate.
Summary:
Efforts are underway to address these two tasks in the BAMSC Regional Firefighting Discharges Work Group. Refer to the Program’s FY 22-23 Annual Report for a summary of the Work Group’s two meetings held this FY and progress towards development of the Regional BMP Report. We anticipate fully implementing these tasks with guidance provided in the Regional BMP Report. We are evaluating how to implement these tasks internally and are providing input for the Regional Report through participation in the SCVURPPP IND/IDDE AHTG .
The City’s contracted clean-up vendor is required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations of the federal, state, and local governments.
The City is actively participating in regional efforts to develop procedures related to large industrial sites and their emergency firefighting discharge BMPs and SOPs. In San José, all buildings, including industrial buildings, with reportable quantities of hazardous materials are required to report their inventories in California Environmental Reporting System (CERS). The City’s Fire Department uses the CERS database when responding to incidents at applicable facilities to assess safety and environmental risks.

C.15.b.vi.(2) ► Irrigation Water, Landscape Irrigation, and Lawn or Garden Watering
Provide implementation summaries of the required BMPs to promote measures that minimize runoff and pollutant loading from excess irrigation.
Generally the categories are:
• Promote conservation programs
• Promote outreach for less toxic pest control and landscape management • Promote use of drought tolerant and native vegetation • Promote outreach messages to encourage appropriate watering/irrigation practices • Implement Illicit Discharge Enforcement Response Plan for ongoing, large volume landscape irrigation runoff.
Summary:
Conservation Programs:
Even with the drought coming to an end, the City continues to encourage residents to follow the San José Municipal Code conservation rules and local water service providers’ recommendations to make water conservation a way of life. There are permanent water waste restriction ordinances in place at all times.
San José also incorporated education and enforcement for ongoing large volume landscape irrigation runoff, as listed in the San José Municipal Code Chapter 15.10, in its Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)Enforcement Response Plan. During FY 22-23, the IDDE program responded to five overwatering irrigation related complaints, two were residential and three at commercial facilities. Staff educated with BMPs and enforced as necessary.
Legislation approved in May 2018, established an indoor, per person water-use goal of 55 gallons per day starting in 2022, an amount that will gradually be reduced to 50 gallons per day starting by 2030. Targets for outdoor water use will be set differently for each area considering factors like the local precipitation and climate zone.
In June 2022, the City mailed an informational postcard to commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) entities with water use rules including the State of California’s ban on the use of potable water to irrigate non-functional, ornamental turf at commercial, industrial and institutional sites.
These sites were provided with resources for drought-tolerant landscapes which include rebate assistance and guidance on sustainable landscapes. This information is available at https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/environmental-services/water- utilities/drinking-water/water-efficiency.
Landscape Conversion
San José Municipal Water System collaborates with Valley Water to offer landscape rebates and irrigation hardware rebates. Landscape Rebates are offered at $3 per square foot for customers within San José Municipal Water System. Irrigation Rebates are available for converting to a weather-based irrigation controller and/or a drip irrigation system. Increased rebate amounts are also available to San José Municipal Water System customers who participate in other Valley Water rebate opportunities including installation of rain barrels, cisterns, and rain gardens.

Waterwise Surveys
San José Municipal Water customers are eligible for a free Valley Water DIY water audit toolkit to check for leaks in their homes. Residents are also eligible for a free outdoor irrigation survey in which a Valley Water representative inspects the irrigation system for any issues and makes recommendations for improvements.
Watersmart
San José Municipal Water customers currently receive customized home water reports based off their most recent billing statement. This report provides detailed water consumption data, alerts for potential leaks, and compares their consumption to homes of similar size and occupancy.
In addition to the hard copy report, customers can access water usage information via a customer web-portal.
In May 2023, the City mailed an informational postcard to San José Municipal Water customers to “Get WaterSmart”. Customers learned how to take advantage of free access to the customer web-portal and home water reports to save water and money.
Outreach Messages to Encourage Appropriate Watering and Irrigation Practices In October 2021, the state issued an executive order declaring a statewide drought emergency. San José City Council then declared a 15% water shortage in November 2021. Both the City and the State continue to maintain prohibitions on wasteful water practices in FY 22-23. These rules apply to all residents and businesses in San José.
Messages:
• Be cool – water when it’s cool. For sprinkler systems, water before 10:00 a.m. and after 8:00 p.m. Only water outdoors on the two designated days listed below. Remember: sprinklers cannot run more than 15 minutes per station per day.
1. Odd numbered addresses may water on Mondays and Thursdays;
2. Even numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays and Fridays;
3. Properties without an address may water on Mondays and Thursdays.
4. WATERING OUTSIDE OF DESIGNATED DAYS: If using a hand-held hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle or a drip irrigation system, residents can water outdoors before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m., without a designated day restriction.
5. The designated watering days apply citywide to all residences and businesses within the City of San José. • Be a sharp shooter – with automatic shut-off nozzles. Cars can be washed at home, but only using hoses with a nozzle that shuts off automatically when the handle is released. This helps you aim and control the water and can save many gallons. • Be quick – fix water leaks as soon as possible. Start fixing identified leaks within 5 working days. Visit our leaks page to find out how to detect water leaks and fix them.
• Be in control – don’t let water flow into gutters or streets. Beyond minor splashing of surfaces, sprinkler and drip systems and hand watering that cause water to flow into gutters and streets or that make large puddles is not allowed. • Be a sweeper – sweep hard surfaces. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean patios, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or other hard surfaces. Note: Hosing is allowed when using an automatic shut-off nozzle.

C.17.a.iii.(1) ► Regional Best Management Practice Report (For FY 22-23 Annual Report only) Collectively submit, acceptable to the Executive Officer, a best management practice report as described in Provision C.17.a.i.(2)
Summary:
See the Regional BMP Report submitted by BAMSC on behalf of all MRP Permittees to the Water Board Executive Officer and included in the Program’s FY 22-23 Annual Report.
C.17.a.iii.(2) ► BMP Implementation and Effectiveness Evaluation (For FY 22-23 and FY 24-25 Annual Reports only) Submit a map identifying the approximate location(s) of unsheltered homeless populations within your jurisdiction, including homeless encampments and other areas where other unsheltered homeless people live.
Summary:
A map showing the density of unsheltered populations by census tracts in relation to storm drain inlets and existing streams, rivers, flood control channels, and other surface water bodies within the City of San José’s (City) jurisdiction is included in Appendix 17-1. This map was developed using the 2022 point-in-time (PIT) count data provided by the County of Santa Clara (County). Due to privacy and safety concerns, the County did not provide location data below the census tract level for this publicly available report.
The PIT count reflects the on-the-ground reality of the few days the count was done. The maps aren't designed or meant to be an accurate real- time count of the total number of people experiencing homelessness and where they are, as the unhoused community frequently moves, shrinks as people connect to housing services, and grows if others fall into the homelessness experience.
(For FY 22-23 and FY 24-25 Annual Reports only) Report on the best management practices being implemented and include the effectiveness evaluation reporting required in Provision C.17.a.ii.(3) and additional actions or changes to existing actions that the Permittee will implement to improve existing practices.

Summary:
As estimated by the PIT count, the City has a total unsheltered population of roughly 4,975. PIT counts are done on odd years, however, pandemic-related delay in 2021 led to a subsequent count in 2022. This number includes a count of unsheltered homeless sleeping outdoors on the street, at bus and train stations, in parks, tents, and other make-shift shelters, and in vehicles and abandoned properties. At the time the PIT count was conducted, these unsheltered individuals were observed in the following census tracts within City’s boundary: 5009.02, 5120.42, 5033.36, 5029.07, 5041.02, 5036.01, 5033.21, 5043.19, 5003, 5016.02, 5043.20, 5019.02, 5011.02, 5066.01, 5063.01, 5033.06, 5120.05, 5042.01, 5037.13, 5031.23, 5039.02, 5031.11, 5120.34, 5120.57, 5033.31, 5058, 5051, 5035.07, 5033.37, 5032.21, 5038.03, 5120.24, 5043.21, 5030.01, 5005, 5033.32, 5031.17, 5012, 5032.20, 5017, 5120.53, 5028, 5027.01, 5032.12, 5043.18, 5050.13, 5034.02, 5120.56, 5044.10, 5016.01, 5052.03, 5001, 5120.45, 5033.26, 5032.19, 5037.10, 5040.02, 5026.03, 5038.02, 5120.52, 5033.13, 5043.22, 5052.02, 5015.01, 5037.09, 5041.01, 5064.01, 5062.03, 5119.05, 5029.03, 5025, 5050.06, 5032.18, 5065.05, 5031.12, 5018, 5033.15, 5029.10, 5068.03, 5062.02, 5043.08, 5037.12, 5021.04, 5015.02, 5119.15, 5035.09, 5032.10, 5050.12, 5008, 5033.30, 5014.02, 5033.24, 5033.23, 5020.02, 5050.14, 5033.22, 5031.05, 5068.02, 5033.12, 5037.07, 5009.01, 5120.43, 5033.29, 5043.14, 5033.04, 5002, 5029.02, 5042.02, 5031.13, 5039.03, 5037.08, 5033.25, 5006, 5043.23, 5031.21, 5026.04, 5044.24, 5023.02, 5037.11, 5040.01, 5044.11, 5020.01, 5029.08, 5043.11, 5120.27, 5046.02, 5032.17, 5035.08, 5035.10, 5038.04, 5022.02, 5032.07, 5045.05, 5033.33, 5119.11, 5010, 5004, 5063.05, 5032.08, 5043.15, 5119.16, 5021.01, 5119.14, 5022.03, 5035.11, 5034.01, 5030.02, 5059.01, 5063.02, 5031.26, 5033.27, 5032.22, 5066.05, 5014.01, 5029.06, 5026.01, 5062.04, 5029.01, 5031.27, 5037.03, 5035.06, 5021.03, 5035.04, 5120.31, 5030.03, 5033.05, 5050.15, 5011.01, 5063.04, 5120.25, 5036.02, 5029.09, 5032.13, 5120.38, and 5120.35. These census tracts include areas (e.g., city streets, parks) that are under City jurisdiction, and other areas (e.g., freeways, expressways, creeks) that are not under City jurisdiction.
The City’s Housing Department coordinated with , HomeFirst and PATH to provide BMPs and support services to unsheltered populations located within the City’s jurisdiction. For unsheltered populations located in areas that are not under our jurisdiction, outreach services are still conducted, and encampment management coordination is done with the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services BeautifySJ interagency team.
The City implements the Direct Discharge Trash Control Plan (DDTCP) to address discharges generated by the activities of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in creeks.

SOUTH FOURTH MIXED-USE PROJECT (H17-004; previously FOURTH STREET METRO STATION MIXED-USE)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (revised plans dated 3/30/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 30% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a single 25-story building with 210 residential units on a 0.51 gross acre site. There will be two levels of below grade parking. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include at- grade walkways along the building and the fifth-floor podium deck.
As currently designed, the site consists of three DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for 67% of the site, flow to a media filtration system. One DMA, which accounts for 30% of the site, flows to a flow-through planter. The site includes an uncovered rooftop pool that is connected to the sanitary sewer system, which accounts for the remaining 3% of the site.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, the proposed project will be constructed in accordance with the City’s Planned Development Zoning, which allows minimal building setbacks and optimizes the site for high density mixed use. The developable portion of the site will be covered with a building and a walkway around the perimeter of the building limiting the amount of available self-treating/retaining areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 30% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter box).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the majority of the site will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints, fire access, and structural limitations preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The project proposes perimeter walkways on the east and west side of the building. There is also an 8” CMU wall proposed at perimeter of the site. Proposed wall and foundation will be located within the property. Any treatment along the east and west side of the building will create a conflict with providing minimum 6’ clearance for fire access. The podium courtyard (5th floor) will be used as a private BBQ area for the adjacent units. Flow-through planters within the podium are infeasible due to the maintenance and access. Use of green roofs will be infeasible due to construction limitations, long-term maintenance issues and the use of roof areas for a sky deck. The roof top level is intended to be an amenities space with a pool deck area. Approximately 79% of the site will be occupied by the building and LID treatment facilities located along the perimeter of the building would create potential obstruction with fire access. The project is utilizing 69% of its 75% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

AFFIRMED HOUSING MIXED-USE (CP18-044)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 1/14/2020; not reported as approved in FY 19-20) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 34% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a single seven-story mixed-use building with 87 residential units, 3,000 square feet of commercial space, and one level of above-grade parking on a 0.61 gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure aside from roof areas will include ground floor frontage walkways and a corner plaza, communal courtyards on the second and fourth floors, and private balconies throughout the height of the building. A majority of the project’s ground floor frontage areas, roof, communal courtyards, and private balconies will drain to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to a bioretention area or consist of self-treating pervious pavement.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into three DMAs. One of the DMAs, which accounts for approximately 66% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 28% of the site, drains to a bioretention area, and the remaining DMA accounting for 6% of the site is made up of a self-treating pervious pavement system.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating ground floor landscaping that will provide self-treatment and several containerized landscaping that will provide some self- treatment. Approximately 6% of the site consists of self-treating pervious pavement.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 34% of the site will include LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas and pervious pavement).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. A majority of the project’s ground floor frontage areas, roof, communal courtyards, and private balconies will drain to a media filtration system.
Programmatic open space needs, utility conflicts, emergency vehicle access constraints, and accessway limitations preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The communal courtyards need to be designed for flexible gathering spaces, private seating areas, and overall usability. Communal courtyard areas that are adjacent to building walls and typically ideal for LID treatment will conflict with packaged terminal air conditioner units. Ground floor open spaces will be limited to fire access for the westerly and southerly portions of the building.
Further, doorway landings and entryway paths further limit areas for LID treatment. The project is utilizing 66% of its 75% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FOURTH AND SAINT JOHN STUDENT HOUSING (H19-021)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (revised plans dated 9/19/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 39% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a 23-story building with retail space, 298 residential units, and four levels of above- grade covered parking. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of at-grade walkways, communal amenity terraces on the fifth floor, and private balconies throughout the height of the building. Approximately half of the building’s roof areas, the courtyard areas, and ground-floor hardscapes will be directed to media filtration systems, while remaining roof areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into six DMAs. Four of the DMAs, which account for approximately 39% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining two DMAs, which account for approximately 61% of the site, will drain to media filtration systems.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping that will provide some self-treatment. Approximately 39% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 39% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, approximately half of the building’s roof areas and both the entire courtyard areas and ground-floor hardscapes will be directed to media filtration systems. Space constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Treatment alongside the building will create potential obstructions with fire access, and structural and space limitations preclude the installation of a green roof. In addition, the required 10-foot setback for self-retaining is infeasible due to a water storage tank adjacent to the buildings limiting the useable space. Furthermore, planter boxes required a 5-foot-wide diameter making it infeasible to be placed on the street level due to a 6-foot minimum access requirement around the building. The project is utilizing 61% of its 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site LID treatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

NORTH FOURTH STREET SUPPORTIVE HOUSING (H20-002)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 6/30/2020; not reported as approved in FY 19-20) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 79% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a four-story supportive housing development on a 0.96 gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building include small ground-floor perimeter hardscape and landscape areas, at-grade parking, and a communal amenity space on the ground floor.
Over half of the site’s ground-floor hardscapes drain to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to a bioretention area, flow-through planter boxes, and consist of a self-treating pervious pavement system.
The SCP divides the site into fourteen DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 21% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Two DMAs, accounting for 12% of the site, drain to bioretention areas. Nine DMAs, which account for 49% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes and one DMA accounting for 14% is made up of self-treating pervious pavement. The remaining DMA, accounting for 4% of the site, will drain to a landscaped self-retaining area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. A self-treating pervious pavement system accounting for 14% of the site and a self-retaining area accounting for less than 4% of the site are proposed for the project. Twelve percent of the site drains to bioretention areas and 49% of the site drains to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Seventy-five percent of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention area, flow-through planter boxes, and pervious pavement).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Approximately half of the site’s ground-floor hardscape drains to a media filtration system. The site’s public open space requirements, emergency vehicle access, utility conflicts, and structural integrity limitations preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The emergency vehicle access road around the perimeter limits the space available for LID treatment such as bioretention areas. The drive aisles will be utilized by heavy traffic, making it impractical to use grass pavers due to wear and tear. A green roof would require substantial provisions to avoid problems due to water intrusion and will require additional structural loads. The roof will also be primarily used to store HVAC, communications, and potential solar installation equipment. There is also limited space to accommodate bioretention areas due to tree, fencing, and useable open space requirements. The project is utilizing approximately 21% of its available 45% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

VTA BLOSSOM HILL STATION TOD COMPLEX (SP20-012)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 8/9/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 53% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregularly shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of one six-story market rate housing and commercial development and one five-story affordable housing development on a 5.39 gross acre site. There will be two levels of covered above-grade parking within the building footprints. Areas of the site not covered by the building include small ground-floor perimeter hardscape and landscape areas, at-grade parking, and a communal amenity space on the ground floor. The site’s roof areas drain to a media filtration system. Remaining ground-floor areas will consist of a self-treating landscape area and drain to bioretention areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into sixteen DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for 47% of the site, drain to a media filtration system. Thirteen DMAs, accounting for 43% of the site, drain to bioretention areas. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 10% of the site, is comprised of a self-treating landscape area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor. Ten percent of the site is comprised of a self- treating landscape area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 43% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The site’s roof area drains to a media filter system. Space constraints and conflicts with recreational uses preclude the project from providing additional LID treatment for the site. Flow-through planter boxes are proposed where possible in the parking areas, which must be maintained for the Blossom Hill VTA Station. The use of green roofs will be infeasible due to construction limitations and long-term maintenance issues.
Additional LID, such as along the sidewalks, will encroach upon walkable and bicycle-oriented spaces reserved for site circulation to transit. The podium courtyards are similarly being used for recreational open space and are therefore limited in space for LID. Podium planters are intended for shading trees, and infeasible as flow-through planter boxes due to the maintenance and type of plants that could be planted. The project is utilizing approximately 47% of its available 80% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

CREATIVE CENTER FOR THE ARTS (PD20-004)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (revised plans dated 9/22/2020) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 41% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will be a mixed- use development consisting of one six-story building and one single-story building on a 0.74 gross acre site. There will be one level of below-grade parking within the six-story building footprint. Areas of the site not covered by the buildings include small ground-floor perimeter hardscape and landscape areas, and at-grade covered parking on the ground floor.
Approximately half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscapes drain to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into three DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 59% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. The remaining two DMAs, which account for 41% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor. About 41% of the site will drain to flow- through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 41% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Approximately half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscape drain to media filtration systems. The site’s space constraints, utility conflicts, and pedestrian access and circulation preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. On the sides of the building not facing the public right-of-way, proposed landscaping, utilities, underground garage, and pedestrian circulation elements preclude the use of LID. There is limited room for bioretention between the building and the right-of-way. Limited depths between the ground floor, including impervious plazas and walkways, and ceiling heights of the underground garage also preclude LID treatment. The public plaza/park requires specific mixes of grasses, ground covers, and shrubs in the park/plaza’s primary seating/planters that are not compatible with LID. The project is utilizing approximately 59% of its available 65% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

STEVENS CREEK PROMENADE (PD20-012)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 8/30/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 59% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of three multi-family story buildings and a 250-room hotel on 10.00 gross acre site. There will be one level of above-grade parking and two levels of below-grade parking within the building footprint.
Areas of the site not covered by the building include ground-level hardscapes between buildings, ground-level landscape areas, and communal amenity terraces. Nearly half of the site’s roof areas will be directed to a media filtration system, while remaining roof areas will drain to bioretention areas and flow-through planters.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 31 DMAs. Six of the DMAs, which account for 41% of the site, will drain to a media filtration system. Fifteen of the DMAs, which account for 34% of the site, will drain to flow-through planter boxes. One DMA, which accounts for 1% of the site, will drain to a landscaped self-retaining area. One DMA, which accounts for less than one percent of the site, will drain to landscaped self-treating areas. The remaining eight DMAs, which account for approximately 24% of the site, will drain to bioretention areas.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor. Approximately 1% of the site will drain to a self-retaining area and less than 1% will consist of self-treating areas. Approximately 34% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes and 24% will drain to bioretention areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 58% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas and flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Space, structural, right-of-way constraints, multiple underground utilities including storm, water, sewer, joint trench, irrigation, and electrical preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Due to grading constraints and prioritizing LID facilities for building runoff, there is not enough available landscape area left to address the promenade and the open space area between the buildings. The change in grade between building finish floor elevations makes it challenging to provide flat, depressed self-retaining landscape areas as well as bioretention areas. The private access road cannot provide at grade LID treatment facilities due to limited space between the access road and the proposed and existing buildings. In addition, there is not enough room left for an at grade self-retaining landscape area in the portion of the promenade fronting the hotel building. Use of green roofs will be infeasible due to construction limitations and long-term maintenance issues. The promenade will have multiple underground utilities (storm, water, sewer, joint trench, irrigation, and electrical) which is not ideal for pervious pavement. The project is utilizing 41% of its 45% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the San Tomas watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

HOTEL CLARIANA ADDITION (HA17-059-01)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 10/5/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 35% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of an eight-story commercial development on a 0.64 gross acre site. The project proposes to build an addition containing guestrooms, a restaurant, fitness and wellness facilities in an existing hotel. There will be one level of above-grade parking, and one level of below-grade parking within the building footprint. Areas of the site not covered by the building include the ramp down to the underground parking and a small courtyard for hotel guests. The majority of the site’s roof areas will be directed to a media filtration system, while remaining roof areas will drain to bioretention areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 7 DMAs. One of the DMAs, which accounts for the 65% of the total site, will drain to a media filtration system. Another six DMAs, which account for approximately 35% of the site, will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the rooftop patio. About 35% of the site will drain to flow- through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 35% of the site will include LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Space and structural constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The proposed landscaping for the site is limited, and the presence of the underground parking does not support pervious pavement installation. In addition, the roof does not have adequate room to meet C.3.d. sizing requirements. Rainwater harvesting was determined to be infeasible since the estimated harvested rainwater volume would not be used within the required drawdown times. The project is utilizing 65% of its 80% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

550 EAST BROKAW (H21-005)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 2/28/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 68% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of an office campus with seven eight-story office buildings and two detached parking garages on an approximately 19.70-gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include ground-floor perimeter walkways and driveways and an emergency fire access roadway. A majority of the project’s roof area will drain to bioretention areas.
Remaining roof area and ground-floor walkway and driveway hardscapes will drain to a media filtration system. The ground-floor landscape areas and garden will be self-retaining areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 26 DMAs. Twenty-one of the DMAs, which account for approximately 53% of the site, drain to bioretention areas. Three DMAs, which account for approximately 32% of the site, will drain to a media filtration system. The two remaining DMAs, which account for 15% of the site, will drain to self-retaining landscape areas.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 15% of the site will drain to self-retaining landscape areas. Approximately 53% of the site will drain to bioretention areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 53% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, 32% of the project’s roof area will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints and utility conflicts preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The limited remaining pervious landscape space on site will have joint trench boxes, site lighting, fire hydrants, and fences which will limit the available space and conditions for bioretention. While there may be additional areas open for LID measures around the building, there are challenges of routing internal stormwater through various levels to reach the outside of the building and may be very costly and infeasible during the design stage. The proposed impervious emergency vehicle access roadway is required in order to provide fire access to both the residential and office buildings. Due to the building setback, extended sidewalk, and existing easement, using Brokaw Road and Junction Avenue for flow-through planter boxes is infeasible. The project is utilizing 32% of its 45% LID treatment reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

905 NORTH CAPITOL AVE (H21-015)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 6/29/2022; not reported as approved in FY 21-22) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 44% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a seven-story, 377-unit apartment building and three-story, 32-unit townhome project with one level of below-grade parking on a 3.47 gross acre site. The existing site generally slopes from the northeast to southwest with approximately 8 feet of vertical relief from the high point to the low point. There is a large courtyard on the roof with decorative planters and landscaped areas interspersed throughout many of the walkways. There are also self-treating landscaped areas around the exterior of both the townhomes and apartment building.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 11 DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for approximately 28% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 2% of the site, drains to a bioretention area. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 56% of the site, will drain to a media filtration system. Six DMAs, which account for 13% of the site, will drain to self-retaining landscape areas. One DMA, which accounts for less than 1% of the site (0.18%), will drain to interceptor trees.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 13% of the site will drain to self-retaining landscape areas. Approximately 28% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes, 2% of the site will drain to bioretention areas, and less than 1% will drain to interceptor trees.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 30% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes and bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the majority of the project’s roof area will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints and right-of-way conflicts preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Landscape areas on the apartment parcel have inadequate size to accommodate biotreatment sizing requirements for the tributary roof area and will be treated as self-retaining and self-treating areas. The building footprint is situated on the apartment parcel such that minimal space is provided at ground floor. Additionally, on the south side of the building, there is an existing public utility easement adjacent to the building edge, resulting in insufficient space for ground level traditional LID facilities at this location. Recessed (podium level) flow-through planters are not feasible as they would protrude to the below level, and thus conflict with the minimum vertical clearance for the lower-level parking. Pervious pavers are not recommended due to the low infiltration rates of existing site soils. Green roofs are not feasible as they would add significant weight to the building roof that would require substantial structural improvements. The apartment parcel is also impacted by the required right-of-way dedications and sidewalk widening. The project is utilizing 56% of its 90% LID treatment reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 8/3/2022; previously SP21-029) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 28% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a seven-story multi-family residential building with 271 units. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include ground-floor perimeter walkways with landscaping. A communal courtyard on the third floors of the building will also be open to the air. The roof area and ground-floor perimeter walkways of the apartment building will drain to a media filtration system.
As currently designed the SCP divides the site into eight DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for approximately 72% of the site, will drain to a media filtration system. Six DMAs, which account for approximately 28% of the site, will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping that will provide some self-treatment. Approximately 28% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 28% of the site is proposed to drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the project’s roof area will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints and right-of-way conflicts preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Sparse landscape areas exist around the perimeter of the proposed building that don’t offer enough space to provide bio treatment facilities. There are numerous services adjacent to the building perimeter, including transformers and switches, sanitary sewer cleanouts, water meters, backflow preventers, and double check detector assemblies, which all require setbacks to other utilities and appurtenances. The frontage of the project does not allow for the installation of LID treatment as there are currently joint trench facilities and an existing water main that would conflict with the installation of any additional LID treatment facilities. The project is utilizing 72% of its 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 11/29/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was not possible to treat the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a multileveled commercial office building on a 0.34 gross acre site. There will be one level of above-grade covered parking within the building footprint. The overall building footprint covers approximately 97% of the site and includes roof areas utilized for mechanical equipment storage and common area amenity space for residents. The entire site drains to a singular media filtration system located in the basement. Rainfall on both the fifth and seventh floor will be routed to the media filtration system.
As currently designed, the SCP consists of one DMA, which accounts for 100% of the site and drains to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the exposed roof deck that will provide some self-treatment.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 100% of the site is proposed to drain to a non-LID media filter system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the entire site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. The site’s space constraints and lacking structural infrastructure for LID preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. There are no ground-level plantings or treatment measures due to access and space constraints to neighboring properties. Planting areas in the podium courtyards are not feasible treatment locations due to limited surface area, cost-value engineering, and space needed for communal spaces. Green roofing and use of inset podium planters were also deemed infeasible due to podium depth, limited surface area, and ancillary features required for such surfaces. The project is utilizing 100% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 11/29/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 65% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a residential and commercial building on a 2.11 gross acre site. There will be one level of below-grade parking and four above grade levels of parking within the buildings. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include ground-floor perimeter walkways with landscaping. Nearly a third of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planters.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 12 DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for 35% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining ten DMAs, which account for 65% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the exposed roof deck that will provide some self-treatment. Sixty-five percent of the site will drain to flow-through planters.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 65% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planters).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Most of the site’s podium courtyards and roof areas drain to flow-through planters. The site’s space constraints, zero lot line building footprint, and conflicting programming and utilities preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment.
Landscape pockets were evaluated for LID use, but their limited size, limited space for downspouts, and the challenges associated with directing runoff to these locations made the conversion infeasible. Conflicts with the multitude of required mechanical equipment structures and utility infrastructure along with the programmed active-use space would make it infeasible to incorporate a green roof into the roof design. The project is utilizing approximately 65% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (initial plans dated 8/30/2022, revised plans dated 8/30/22; previously SP21-007) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 51% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of two buildings: a five-story affordable housing building and an eight-story market rate housing building. The project will include commercial space, 256 residential units, and a full basement and rear of the ground level of covered parking. The site contains several drainage areas that will be treated via flow-through planter boxes, bioretention areas, and a media filtration system. Approximately half of the site will be treated either by a flow-through planter or bioretention area and the rest by a media filtration system. About three quarters of the building’s roof runoff will be routed to flow-through planters, and into a media filtration system located in the garage. Bioretention areas are also placed on the ground floor to treat the water runoff from outdoor patio areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into seven DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 49% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Two DMAs, which account for 13% of the site, drain to bioretention areas. The four remaining DMAs, which account for 38% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 38% the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes and 13% of the site will drain to bioretention areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 51% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes and bioretention areas). Flow- through planter boxes have been placed on the lower-level courtyard and bioretention areas have been placed on the southern end of the property to ensure that roof runoff will be treated.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, about half of the building’s roof runoff will be directed to a media filtration system. Space constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Roof areas are infeasible for LID treatment due to the project’s overall construction and benefit. Due to the large building footprint, adding LID treatment areas on the ground floor in addition to the southern bioretention planters are not feasible.
Moreover, roof sloping and limited downspout constraints in more flow through planters are not cost-effective treatment approaches. The project is utilizing approximately 49% of its available 75% LID treatment reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project is near watersheds that are both private and public and lands are also not available for off-site bioretention facilities. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available currently for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

BO TOWN PROJECT (H20-038)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 11/29/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 85% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a 29-story building with four stories of below-grade parking, a restaurant, and 540 residential condominium units. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of at-grade walkways, and private balconies throughout the height of the building.
The entire building’s roof areas will be directed to media filtration systems, while at-grade hardscape areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes and tree well filters.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into five DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 15% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately 67% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. One DMA, which accounts for 1% of the site, is comprised of self-treating pervious pavement. The remaining DMA, which accounts for approximately 17% of the site, drains to tree well filters with bioretention soil media.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping that will provide some self-treatment. One percent of the site is made up of self- treating permeable pavement.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, about 85% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes, pervious pavement, and tree well filters).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the proposed development will be able to treat all roof and upper-level terrace runoff, except the third floor runoff, via flow- through planter boxes on the 3rd floor terraces. Structural, maintenance, and space constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The third-floor terraces along the backside of the project are too far from the available street-level space at the front of the project to treat runoff via flow-through planter boxes. Use of permeable pavers for the rest of the site is not feasible as most of the proposed site is above a proposed underground garage. The proposed building footprint will occupy approximately 93% of the site, which limits the ground floor to pedestrian access and circulation. The project is utilizing 15% of its 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

VALLEY TITLE PROJECT (H21-012)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 9/28/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was not possible to treat the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of one 20-story building with commercial office and retail space on a 2.84 gross acre site. There will be four levels of below-grade parking within the building footprint. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of private balconies, bridge terrace on the twelfth floor and courtyard terraces on the third and fifth floors. The entire site drains to a media filtration system.
As currently designed, the SCP consists of three DMAs, which account for 100% of the site and drain to three media filtration systems.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor and courtyards.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 100% of the site is proposed to drain to a non-LID media filter system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, there are no locations directly adjacent to the building that would allow for stormwater treatment directly from building downspouts. Another LID option which was determined to be infeasible is the use bioretention areas or flow-through planter boxes located at street-level. Pumps would be required to direct roof runoff into street-level flow-through planter boxes due to their location and design.
Dropping the flow-through planter boxes to grade would reduce garage level floor heights and impact space useability. Treatment of stormwater runoff using ground-level LID treatment hardscapes such as pervious pavers was determined to be infeasible. The entire project site will have underground garage below a suspended slab at grade. The installation of these pervious paver layers would require vibratory and heavy equipment, which is not an advisable installation practice on top of a suspended slab. in addition, the ground floor and courtyard amenities do not have adequate room to meet C.3.d. sizing requirements. The project is utilizing 100% of its 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (revised plans dated 6/16/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 55% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of four buildings with 1,470 residential units and ground floor commercial space on a 22.88 gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include at-grade walkways along the building, sidewalks along streets, and a public park.
As currently designed, the site consists of 21 DMAs. Twelve DMAs, which account for 45% of the site, flow to media filtration systems. Five DMAs, which account for 40% of the site, flow to flow- through planter boxes. The remaining four DMAs are self-treating landscaped areas that account for 15% of the site.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several self-treating landscaped areas that make up 15% of the site.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 38% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, about half of the site will drain to a media filtration system. Space and fire access constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Due to the density of the project, there is not sufficient room on the site to treat 100% of the runoff with bioretention or flow through planters, while still maintaining adequate pedestrian circulation, emergency vehicle access, and usable public open space.
Another factor that limits the implementation of LID is the shallow storm system depths on Seely Avenue and Epic Way. Without the excessive use of pumping systems onsite, it is not possible to use bioretention to treat ground-level runoff (such as runoff from streets, surface parking, and sidewalks). Use of green roofs will be infeasible due to design and construction limitations and long-term maintenance issues. In addition, the project geotechnical engineer will not approve pervious pavement up against the building foundations. The best place for pervious pavement would therefore be the site roadways. However, all site roads will have multiple underground utilities (Storm, water, sewer, joint trench, irrigation and electrical) which is not ideal for pervious pavement. Maintenance of these facilities within pervious pavement would create an unnecessary added cost and responsibility. The project is utilizing 45% of its 55% LID reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project site (revised plans dated 12/22/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 45% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-site Drainage Conditions. The primarily triangle-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a mixed-use development with public and private streets and open space, residential, office, and commercial multi-story building on a 61.53-gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building include the garage and covered parking. Onsite drainage consists of rainwater collected from the roof and roadway areas. The site has been designed such that the public and private areas directly adjacent to the creeks and open space drain to bioretention areas and LID treatment measures. The areas located away from the open space areas will be treated with media filters.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 16 DMAs. Eleven of the DMAs, which account for 55% of the site, will drain to media filtration systems. Three DMAs, which accounts for 36% of the site, will drain to a landscaped self-retaining area. The remaining two DMAs, which account for 9% of the site, will drain to bioretention areas. b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several self-retaining landscaped areas that receive stormwater runoff from 36% of the site.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 9% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the developable portion of the site will be covered with buildings, sidewalks, private and public streets, parks, and open space.
The ability to treat 100% of the stormwater through landscaping is infeasible due to space constraints attributable to the high-density design and lack of usable landscape onsite. The site’s open landscape and park areas are located around creeks and the buildings, whereas the impervious areas are grouped away from these locations. As a result, the impervious areas are limited from being treated from adjacent landscape. The project is utilizing 55% of its 80% LID reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project site (approved plans dated 2/22/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 14% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-site Drainage Conditions. The project site will consist of a 16-story office building with outdoor amenities on a 2.39 gross acre site. The project includes an alternative parking design consisting of four levels of underground parking, including stackers, tandem, and valet parking.
More than half of the sites will drain to a media filter system. The remaining amount will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into four DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for approximately 86% of the site, will drain to media filtration systems. The remaining two DMAs, which account for approximately 14% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the ground floor, third floor, fourth floor and along the entryway to the building that will provide some self-treatment.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 14% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. More than half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscape drain to media filtration systems. The site’s space constraints, underground parking garage, and proximity to a railroad right-of-way preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. A requirement by the operators of the rail lines along the eastern property lines do not allow for concentrated stormwater to be drained toward and infiltrated next to installed tracks. LID treatment features were found to be infeasible in specific areas of the site because the wall of the neighboring property along the eastern border encroaches onto the property, and a drive aisle proposed adjacent to the back of the property is the highest point of the site.
The project is utilizing approximately 86% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

The project (revised plans dated 4/14/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 9% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of a mixed-use development consisting of one 17-story building and one nine-story above-grade parking garage on a 1.57 gross acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the buildings include landscape areas and a shared common lower-level perimeter hardscape area. The site’s roof area and ground floor hardscapes drain to a media filtration system.
Remaining areas will drain to self-retaining pervious pavement or are made up of self-treating landscape areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into nine DMAs. Four DMAs, which account for approximately 91% of the site, will drain to media filtration systems. Three of the DMAs, which account for approximately 6% of the site, drain to self-retaining pervious pavement. The remaining two DMAs, which account for approximately 3% of the site, are made up of self- treating landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 6% of the site will drain to self-retaining pervious pavement and 3% of the site is made up of self- treating landscape areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 6% of the site will drain to self-retaining pervious pavement.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Approximately half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscape drain to media filtration systems. The site’s pedestrian access and circulation preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Limited depths between the ground floor and ceiling heights of the underground garage also preclude LID treatment. The site contains a lower-level parking structure that would be impacted by adding flow-through planter boxes or pervious pavement, which could result in a reduction of height and usable garage space. The construction of the pavers requires vibratory equipment, which is not an advisable construction practice on top of a suspended slab. The project is utilizing approximately 91% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.

The project site (approved plans dated 10/12/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 47% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular project site is generally flat and will be a mixed-use development consisting of one six-story building on a 1.19 gross acre site. There will be one level for at-grade parking and retail use within the six-story building footprint. Areas of the site not covered by the buildings include small ground floor perimeter hardscape and landscape areas. Approximately half of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system.
Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into nine DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 53% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Seven of the DMAs, which account for approximately 41% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining DMA, which accounts for approximately 6% of the site, drains to a self-treating landscape area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor. As currently designed, 6% of the site will drain to a self-treating landscape area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 41% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. There are currently portions of the proposed building that cannot drain to LID treatment facilities due to site constraints. The buildings are situated close to the public right-of-way with limited room for biotreatment between the building and the right-of way on the South 1st Street and East Virginia Street frontages. On the side of the building not facing the public right-of-way, they are bounded by proposed landscaping, utilities, vehicular access, and pedestrian circulation elements, leaving limited space for LID treatment. The project is utilizing 53% of its 75% LID reduction credits.

a. On-site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of one mixed-use eight-story building on a 1.10 gross acre site. There will be one level of at-grade covered parking within the eight-story building footprint on the ground floor. Areas of the site not covered by the buildings include small ground floor perimeter hardscape and landscape areas. More than half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscapes drain to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into four DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 74% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. The remaining three DMAs, which account for 26% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some self-treatment on the ground floor. As currently designed, 26% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 26% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. More than half of the site’s roof area and ground-floor hardscape drain to media filtration systems. The site’s space constraints, plumbing conflicts, and grading requirements preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. LID treatment systems would conflict with utilities on surrounding ground level hardscape areas.
There are numerous services adjacent to the building perimeter including SVP transformers and switches, sanitary sewer cleanouts, water meters, backflow preventers, and double check detector assemblies which all require setbacks to other utilities and appurtenances. The proposed landscaped areas are inadequately sized to accommodate C.3 sizing requirements for biotreatment facilities. Due to drainage patterns of the roof and subsequent storm drain plumbing within the building, it is infeasible to route the entire roof area to the central podium courtyard. Limited depths between the ground floor and ceiling heights of the underground garage also preclude LID treatment. A green roof would add additional weight to the building’s roof and require significant structural modifications to the building’s design, which adds a significant cost to the project of this scale and is not feasible. The project is utilizing approximately 74% of its available 75% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

EAST SANTA CLARA MIXED USE (H21-029)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project site (approved plans dated 9/22/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 94% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of an six-story mixed-use development on a 0.42 gross acre site. The building covers 87% of the entire site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include ground- floor perimeter walkways with landscaping. A communal courtyard on the ground and second floors of the building will also be open to the air. Over three-quarters of the site’s roof area drains to flow-through planters. Remaining areas will mostly drain to media filtration systems, self-retaining pervious pavement systems, and self-retaining landscape areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into nine DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 6% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Three DMAs, which account for 79% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Another two DMAs, which account for 1% of the site, are made up of self-treating pervious pavement, and one DMA accounting for 11% of the site drains to self-retaining pervious pavement. One DMA, which accounts for 2% of the of the site, drains to a self-retaining landscape area. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 1% of the site, is made up of a self-treating landscape area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 2% of the site will drain to self-retaining landscape areas. One percent is made up of a self- treating area, 11% will drain to self-retaining pervious pavement, and another 1% is made up of self-treating pervious pavement.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 91% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (pervious pavement and flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Most of the site’s roof area drains to flow-through planters.
The site’s ADA requirements and space constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. There is also not an appropriate location for a flow-through planter on the ground level to receive runoff from this paved area without impacting the building program and obstructing paths of travel and egress. The project is utilizing approximately 6% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is currently not available for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FOUNTAIN ALLEY (H20-037)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 12/13/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 12% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a 21-story building with retail, office, and residential programming and four stories of below-grade parking. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of landscaped plaza and alleys with designated recreational space. The building’s roof and ground-floor areas will be directed to media filtration systems.
As currently designed, the SCP consists of four DMAs. Two DMAs that account for 88% of the site drain to media filtration systems. The remaining two DMAs account for 12% of the site and are made up of self-treating landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping in the urban room area and along the pathway that will provide 12% self-treating treatment. The design team has opted to include the green roof as a site design measure to minimize impervious surface area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 12% of the site is made up of self-treating landscape areas.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Space, structural, and utility constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Dropping the roof slab to obtain flow-through planter box depth and gravity flow on the roof would reduce the floor heights significantly and impact useable indoor space, as well as the beam sizing. Similarly proposing flow-through planter boxes at grade would reduce garage level floor heights and impact space usability.
Treatment of stormwater runoff using ground-level LID treatment hardscapes such as pervious pavers is infeasible because of the underground garage located below a suspended slab at grade. Floor heights on the basement levels are sized to provide adequate clearance for loading trucks, accessible vans, and mechanical equipment. The added structural depth needed for pervious pavement due to the additional dead load would significantly impact the garage floor heights and useable space. In addition, the installation of these pervious pavement layers would require vibratory and heavy equipment, which is not an advisable installation practice on top of a suspended slab. The project is utilizing 88% of its available 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site LID treatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

WEST SAN CARLOS MIXED USE (CP20-020)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (revised plans dated 4/8/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 70% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of an eight-story mixed use development on a 1.23 gross acre site. There will be one level of below-grade parking. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include ground-floor perimeter walkways with landscaping. Nearly a third of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to a flow-through planter box and a pervious pavement system.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into three DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 30% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. One DMA, which accounts for 58% of the site, drains to a flow-through planter. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 12% of the site, is comprised of self-treating pervious pavement.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 12% of the site will be made up of a pervious pavement system.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 70% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (pervious pavement and flow-through planters).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Most of the site’s roof area drains to flow-through planters.
The site’s lack of existing storm drain system along Brooklyn Avenue and Boston Avenue, space constraints, and open space requirements preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Due to the type of building structure proposed, a green roof with flat slopes would require significant additional structural loads and substantial provisions to avoid problems due to water intrusion. The roof will be primarily used to store HVAC, communications, and potential solar installation equipment. The developer is concerned by potential leaks in green roofs and that they might be difficult to identify. Additionally, the landscape areas on the site are not suitable for LID treatment to the maximum extent possible due to the following reasons.
Inadequate size to accommodate biotreatment structures, onsite tree requirements for screening, shadowing and fencing along the project edges. Finally, useable open space requirements for residence limiting to the areas of planters on the courtyard. The project is utilizing approximately 30% of its available 45% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 12/14/2022) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was not possible to treat the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of two mixed-use towers on a 1.07 gross acre site. Tower A will be 21 stories tall, and Tower B will be 21 stories tall. There will be a parking garage located on the first floor. The project building covers 98% of the total site area. Most of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. Remaining areas are comprised of self-treating landscaped areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into eight DMAs. Four DMAs, which account for 93% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining four DMAs, which account for 7% of the site, are made up of self-treating landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 7% of the site will drain to self-treating landscape areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 93% of the site is proposed to drain to a non-LID media filter system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Space, structural, and utility constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. Approximately 93% of the site will be occupied by the building and its podiums, limiting the amount of available space for LID treatment measures. Due to the underground parking garage taking up nearly 100% of the development site, opportunities for permeable pavement and other LID treatment systems are not feasible at this time. Conventional LID treatment on the roof would add significantly more weight to the structure while significantly increasing the cost. The project is utilizing 93% of its available 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

The project (revised plans dated 6/7/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 50% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular shaped project site will consist of a seven-story building on a 0.97-gross acre site. The building covers 98% of the entire site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include amenities such as landscaping, courtyards, and pathways. Half of site’s roof area and surrounding impervious surface areas will drain to the media filter remainder of the site will also drain to the media filter system. The site’s remaining areas will drain to flow-through planters.
As currently designed, the SCP consists of four DMAs. Three DMAs, which accounts for 50% of the site, will drain to a flow-through planter. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 50% of the site will drain to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, three flow-through planters will treat 50% of the site.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 50% of the site will be treated by flow-through planters.
d. Constraints to Providing On-Site LID. As currently designed, runoff from the roof and the perimeter of the building will be directed to a media filter system. Space constraints on the podium level would require half of the space for LID, negatively impacting the private open space. Due to privacy concerns, the use of vertical trees was use in place of LID along the boundary of the building. The ground floor and podium levels do not have adequate room to meet C.3.d. sizing requirements. In addition, emergency vehicle access, pedestrian circulation and access issues, and structural integrity limitations preclude the project from providing including biotreatment systems. The lack of storm drain in the east side of the building prevents the use of pervious pavement. Cost restrictions preclude the project from installing a second storm drain. The site is using 50% of its 100% LID reduction credits.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (initial plans dated 2/17/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 26% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of approximately 75-unit affordable, mixed income housing development on a 0.62 gross acre site. One hundred percent of all onsite parking will be located within the buildings.
Approximately three quarters of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system.
Remaining areas will drain to bioretention areas and self-retaining areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into seven DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for 76% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Five DMAs, which account for 24% of the site, drain to bioretention areas. The remaining DMA, which accounts for less than 0.03% of the site drains to a self-retaining area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, five bioretention areas will treat 23% of the site’s building roof areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 23% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. More than half of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. The site’s space constraints and lacking infrastructure that meets the utility structure sizing requirements for LID, precludes the project from providing additional LID treatment for the site. In addition, internal roof drainpipes lack vertical elevation change to drain runoff to nearby planters via gravity. The site also must maintain a minimum ceiling height clearance and avoid mechanical and plumbing utilities. Running pipes through the structure via gravity flow for such distance is infeasible. The site contains two linear planters and concrete planter pots for trees. These stationary planters are intended for barriers and screen, which are placed away from the edge of the building walls, rendering them unusable for treating stormwater. The site’s ground level property line sits above the underground garage, restricting the use of pervious pavers for stormwater treatment. In addition, the west and south side of the site was not considered suitable for pervious pavers since they are under the building overhand or within the new Public Street Easement. The project is utilizing approximately 74% of its available 75% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the same watershed where it is possible to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

The project (revised plans dated 5/3/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 52% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of 42 townhomes and one residential building with approximately 292 units on a 4.31 gross acre site. More than 90% if all onsite parking will be located within the buildings.
Approximately a quarter of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes and self-retaining areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into 14 DMAs. Two DMAs, which accounts for 48% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. Ten DMAs, which account for 47% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining two DMAs accounting for 5% of the site drain to self-retaining landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, self- retaining areas will treat approximately 5% of the project site.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 47% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. More than half of the site’s roof area drains to flow-through planter boxes and self-retaining areas. The site’s zero lot line building design precludes the project from providing additional LID treatment for the site. The townhome does not have enough open space that can be used for LID treatment systems. Treatment of the building roof areas using landscaped areas around the buildings is not feasible due to the locations of AC units and fire ladder pads. A below-grade flow-through planter along the private drive is infeasible due to construction limitations and elevation differences between the building and the back of public sidewalk, along with available depth of the closest existing storm system.
Use of green roofs will be infeasible due to design and construction limitations and long-term maintenance issues. Multiple underground utilities (stormwater, water, sewer, joint trench, irrigation, and electrical) make pervious pavement along the site roadways unideal.
Maintenance of these facilities within pervious pavement would create an unnecessary added cost and responsibility. The ground level open space is occupied with architectural features that limit the project from providing 100% LID. The project is utilizing approximately 48% of its available 55% LID treatment reduction credit.

The project (initial plans dated 3/6/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 33% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of approximately 94-unit affordable, mixed income housing development on a 0.56 gross acre site. More than 90% of all onsite parking will be located within the buildings.
Approximately two-thirds of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. Remaining areas will drain to flow-through planter boxes and self-retaining areas.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into seven DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for 67% of the site, drain to a media filtration system. Four DMAs, which account for 32% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining DMA accounting for less than 1% of the site drains to self-retaining landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, one self-retaining landscape area will receive less than 1% of the site.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 32% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. More than half of the site’s roof area drains to a media filtration system. The site’s space constraints and lacking infrastructure that meets the utility structure sizing requirements for LID, precludes the project from providing additional LID treatment for the site. There is no existing storm drain system along Brooklyn Avenue and Cleveland Avenue. A green roof with flat slopes would require substantial provisions to avoid problems due to water intrusion, and would require significant additional structural loads. The proposed landscaped areas are inadequately sized to accommodate bioretention systems, utility structure sizing and requirements, and are difficult to construct with connections out to the storm drain system. The project is utilizing approximately 33% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credit.

HILLSDALE APARTMENTS (CP23-014)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (initial plans dated 5/3/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 55% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of a single six-story building with 165 low-income residential units on a 1.77 gross acre site. The pre- development existing impervious surface for the site covers approximately 92% of the total parcel area. The site generally drains from west to east. The project plans to install 360 linear feet of 15- inch public storm drain system in Donna Lane to serve the project site.
As currently designed, the site consists of twelve DMAs. One DMA, accounting for 45% of the site, flows to a media filtration system. Six of the DMAs, which account for 41% of the site, flow to flow- through planter boxes. Two DMAs, which account for 11% of the site, consists of a self-treating pervious pavement system and a self-retaining pervious pavement system. One DMA, which accounts for 2% of the site, flows to a self-retaining landscape area and the remaining two DMAs accounting for 1% of the site are made of self-treating landscaped areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surfaces will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping that will all provide some treatment on the ground floor. Two percent of the site will drain to a self-retaining landscape area, and 1% of the site will consist of self-treating areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 52% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes and pervious pavement systems).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. This project is a high density low-income residential development. Based on the site plan and required fire access roadway width there is not sufficient room to provide a treatment facility for this drainage area. Approximately 39% of the site is encumbered by existing vehicular access and parking easements. Pervious pavement was also assessed for the drive aisles and determined to be infeasible for this portion of the project because this is a high traffic drive aisle that includes multiple refuse collection trucks. Motorists will use this drive to access the project, as well as the adjacent properties. The high traffic volume and turning movements is not recommended for pervious pavement. The drive aisle is a shared access drive aisle for adjacent commercial properties, which are not responsible for maintenance costs, which are difficult to budget on low-income housing projects. Pervious pavement in the parking stalls and hardscape on the northern and western portion of the site do not have the capacity to accept the roof areas adjacent to these facilities. There is inadequate room to provide LID treatment within landscape areas in high density low-income housing, required fire access roadways and required parking. The landscape pocket at the return of the drive aisle and parking lot will be used for transformers and fire hydrant, and does not provide adequate space for LID treatment facilities.
The project is utilizing approximately 45% of its available 45% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 3/30/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 25% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The generally square shaped project site is flat and will consist of a six- story, 103-unit apartment building and one floor of below grade parking.
As currently designed, the site consists of 3 DMAs. Two DMAs, which account for approximately 75% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 25% of the site, drains to a flow-through planter.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, none of the impervious surfaces of this site will be flowing to any self-treating or self-retaining areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 25% of the site will drain to one flow-through planter box on the south side of the building via down spout.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the majority of the project’s roof area will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints and utility conflicts preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The apartment parcel is also impacted by the required right-of- way dedications and sidewalk widening for the Roosevelt Park Urban Village Plan. This leaves the project with limited space to place LID features. The project is utilizing approximately 75% of its available 75% LID treatment reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project.

The project (revised plans dated 5/23/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 37% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of approximately 220-unit affordable housing development on a 2.31 gross acre site. The site currently drains from southeast to northwest with over four feet of elevation change across the site. The developed condition proposes a large six-story affordable housing structure and fire access roadway around the north and east sides of the site. The majority of the parking is in the podium level parking garage.
As currently designed, the site is divided into seventeen DMAs. Nine DMAs, which accounts for 63% of the site, drains to media filtration systems. Seven DMAs, which account for 34% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 3% of the site, drain to self- retaining landscape areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 3% of the site will be flowing to self-retaining landscape areas.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. The majority of the interior roof areas of the proposed building will be treated with flow-through planters located on podiums. The flow-through planters will account for 34% of the site’s treatment.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The site is very tight and due to setbacks, the required fire access roadway for the site takes up all of the available areas for flow-through planters along the north and east sides of the parcel. The on-site walkways are routed to media filters around the west and south sides of the proposed building due to this lack of space. In addition, there is only one public storm drain main on the high side, by four feet of elevation. The main is relatively deep, but routing the water to this main after collection, treating, and routing is difficult. These conditions and technical constraints preclude the use of 100% LID features and facilities, as described below. The project is utilizing approximately 63% of its available 65% LID reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the same watershed where it is possible to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 6/28/2023) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 77% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The building footprint and paseo cover nearly 90% of the project site, including roof areas utilized for mechanical equipment and open common area amenity-space for residents, creating effective treatment areas for the entirety of the site is a challenge for the site.
The building will have a majority of the roof directed to the 4th floor podium level planters and a small portion of the roof drained to the bioretention in the paseo. Podium level stormwater will get routed through internal building plumbing to the garage level media filter and there will be one outlet stormwater pipe out of the media filter. The entirety of the paseo, representing 9% of the project’s drainage area, will be entirely treated by an in-ground bioretention planter and the walkway to get to the paseo from S Buena Vista Ave will utilize a self-retaining area. Both the bioretention and self-retaining outlet pipes will be routed through the building and connect with the treated podium level flow through planter storm drain system.
As currently designed, the site consists of eight DMAs. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 23% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. One DMA, which accounts for approximately 9% of the site, drains to a bioretention area. One DMA accounting for 4% of the site drains a self- retaining landscape area. Finally, the remaining 64% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 4% of the site will be treated by a self-retaining area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 9% of the site will drain to one bioretention area in the paseo and 64% of the site will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the majority of the project’s roof area will drain to a media filtration system. Space constraints and utility conflicts preclude the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The underground garage covers approximately 90% of the site to meet minimum parking requirements. Due to this, ground level plantings for treatment purposes are not feasible on much of the site. The areas of no garage coverage are unfeasibly sloped to treat the drive aisle. Upsizing ground level bioretention areas would see no improvement to the media filtration sizing. Additionally, internal roof drain piping must be designed in accordance to minimum criteria established for internal drainage piping slopes. Due to this, a portion of the building will be treated by the media filtration unit. Permeable decking or roofing was not considered due to the podium depth, limited surface area allocated for the common amenity spaces, and required ancillary features required for such surfaces. In order to keep the floor surfaces and elevations consistent throughout each level and maintain as much usable and accessible amenity space as possible, inset podium planters were utilized sparingly in locations that were logical. The project is utilizing approximately 23% of its available 100% LID reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

MADERA MULTI-HOUSING (SPA20-019-01)
1. Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite LID Treatment
The project (approved plans dated 12/14/22) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 60% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular project site is generally flat and will consist of a single eight-story building with 272 residential units on a 0.83 gross acre site. The site generally drains outward from northeast to southwest on the southwest side, and from east to west on the western side. All parking is located on the ground level and covered.
As currently designed, the site consists of nine DMAs. Seven DMAs, accounting for approximately 60% of the site, flow to flow-through planter boxes. Two DMAs, which account for 40% of the site, flow to media filtration systems.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 60% of the site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The project is limited due to setback space, proposed utilities and the proposed density of the building footprint, there are no other viable options for ground floor level biotreatment. Opportunities to convert other common landscape pockets to biotreatment were assessed, but were deemed infeasible because of the challenges of directing runoff to these locations with high amounts of glazing and limited space for downspouts. Much of the ground level open space is covered by the cantilevered building above. The project is utilizing approximately 40% of its available 100% LID reduction credit.
2. Off-Site LID Treatment
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has proposed to treat 100% of the project site runoff using on site LID treatment.

INTRODUCTION
The City of San José (City) dedicates substantial resources to implement the Direct Discharge Trash Control Program (DDTCP) which began in 2016.
The City allocates millions of dollars each year to address the impacts of homeless encampments and the trash and sanitary pollutants generated by people experiencing homelessness along waterways. San José’s Program represents the collective efforts and close coordination among various City departments, including Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services-BeautifySJ Program (PRNS), Housing, Department of Transportation, Police Department and Environmental Services (ESD); contractors; local and state agencies; Valley Water (VW); and nonprofits Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful (KCCB), The Trash Punx, and South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition (SBCCC).
For more information on the City’s DDTCP and the work summarized below, refer to the “City of San José Direct Discharge Trash Control Program Plan Update,” submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board January 3, 2023, revised and resubmitted on May 22, 2023.

• Every two years, during the last ten days of January, communities across the United States conduct comprehensive counts of the local population experiencing homelessness. Santa Clara County Point-in-Time Homeless Count represents an estimate of all sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness. The primary components are General Street Count (morning count of unsheltered homeless sleeping outdoors on the street; at bus and train stations; in parks, tents, and other make-shift shelters; and in vehicles and abandoned properties), and General Shelter Count (nighttime count of homeless individuals and families staying at publicly and privately operated shelters).
• City will have a subset of the larger count.

• The City works with developers to extend the terms of affordability and refurbish aging developments. When affordable units are built, they are Deed Restricted to remain affordable, typically for 55 years. Housing works with those properties when the Deed Restrictions approach end of life, utilizing funding and tools to prolong existing or issue new Deed Restrictions to keep those units as Affordable. • Affordable housing is a critical tool to prevent people from falling into homelessness, and to help people experiencing homelessness be housed.
• See Section C.3 of the Stormwater Annual Report for new construction of affordable units.

• Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services – BeautifySJ Program collects weight information on all trash removed. Trash collected will be reported in tons.
• Compactor trucks contain trash and debris from several cleanups, including from on-land cleanups. The total tonnage collected from waterways is averaged using the number of sites serviced on a given day. This is likely a conservative total since trash loads along waterways may be much higher than on land.
• An Escalated Cleanup is a cleanup action designed to target an encampment location by reducing large amounts of trash and debris. An encampment will remain at the site after the cleanup. Specific tonnage for each Escalated cleanup actions is not collected. • An Abatement is the removal of an encampment location from an area. Specific tonnage for each Abatements is collected. • Cash for Trash is a program that provides a redemption value on bags of trash collected by those residing in encampments. The specific number of bags for each site is collected.
• The City provides a minimum of weekly trash collection services at designated trash pick-up areas. This service also removes large trash/debris piles at encampments; and appropriately disposes of items soiled with human waste to reduce contamination. The service frequency is determined by an assessment that examines the needs of each encampment.

• The Consent Decree identified six existing Trash Hot Spot locations in receiving waters for trash monitoring: Coyote Creek at Watson Park, Coyote Creek at Roosevelt Park, Coyote Creek at Singleton Crossing, Los Gatos Creek at West Santa Clara Street, Guadalupe River at Woz Way and Guadalupe River at West Alma Avenue. Receiving Water Monitoring measures trends in trash levels impacting local waterways.
Other work implemented that was not included in the DDTCP 2023 Plan:
• The Coyote Creek Flood Management Project is led by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) with support from the City of San José. The project agreement will fund targeted, supportive services to individuals living along certain areas of Coyote Creek and abate encampments within the work zone for the Coyote Creek Flood Management Measures and Coyote Creek Flood Protection Projects in the amount of $4,844,414 for an initial term through October 31, 2024, with one three-year option to extend through October 31, 2027. Phase I focused on a 1.6 mile stretch of Coyote Creek between Old Oakland Rd and Mabury Rd. Since March 2023, the City and its contracted partners have conducted outreach to 92 unhoused individuals, providing referrals to available shelter and housing options. Additionally, 20 vehicles and 468 tons of debris were removed.
Maps (DDTCP Sections 5 and 6.2)
• The focus zones and project areas have not changed. See maps attached to the “City of San José Direct Discharge Trash Control Program Plan Update,” as referenced in the introduction of this report (DDTCP Section 6.2). • City staff conducted visual assessments along the creeks following a standardized protocol modeled after On-Land Visual Trash Assessments twice in FY 22-23 (DDTCP Section 5). The maps below show the results from these assessments. The first assessments were conducted from FY 2022-2023 Annual Report Appendix 10.2

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Clean Waterways, Healthy City: Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plan and Assessment Strategy (Long-Term Plan) is to demonstrate the City of San José’s (City) commitment to attain and maintain compliance throughout the permit term for the 100% trash load reduction (TLR) by June 30, 2025 as required in Order No. R2-2022- 0018, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Regional Permit No. CAS612008 (Stormwater Permit) issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). This Long-Term Plan describes actions taken by the City to reduce trash loads into the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), as well as outlining future planned actions, anticipated trash load reductions, and a schedule to meet the 100% TLR requirement by June 30, 2025.
The reissued Stormwater Permit was adopted by the Water Board on May 11, 2022 and went into effect on July 1, 2022. The City is updating the Long-Term Plan in compliance with Provision C. 10.d of the new Stormwater Permit.
The City reserves the right to update the plan and future control measures described based on its own discretion.
