Elk Grove Construction Program


6.3 Construction Program

Element Introduction The main goal of the Construction Program Element is to ensure that the requirements of the Stormwater Permit are met, by reducing sediment discharge and construction related pollutants to the City storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable.

The Stormwater Permit requires a number of tasks related to regulation, enforcement and inspection of construction sites in the City to reduce the discharge of construction-related sediment and pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. The requirements apply to private as well as public construction projects, including those also requiring coverage under the State’s Construction General Permit. For the most part, the focus for inspection and enforcement activities is on land disturbing activities of 350 cubic yards and/or one acre. However, smaller sites must also comply with the City’s Stormwater Ordinance and smaller site operators are educated and informed about ways to prevent erosion and pollution problems.

Elk Grove Industrial/Commercial Program


6.4 Industrial/Commercial Program

Element Introduction The primary goal of the Industrial/Commercial Program Element is to continue to ensure that the requirements of the Stormwater Permit are met, by conducting the various administrative and coordination activities described below. The main goal is to reduce the discharge of stormwater pollutants to the maximum extent practicable and to eliminate illegal stormwater discharges from industrial and commercial facilities. Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD) conducts triennial stormwater compliance inspections and complaint response inspections on behalf of the City at auto body, auto dealer, auto repair, equipment rental, nursery, kennel, restaurant, retail gasoline outlets, and General Industrial Stormwater Permit facilities. Triennial inspections are designed to ensure that facility operators are in compliance with the local Stormwater Ordinance. Inspection criteria includes elimination of unauthorized non-stormwater discharges and illicit connections, and ensuring that BMPs are being implemented to reduce stormwater pollution to the maximum extent practicable. At General Permit facilities, WDID# and the presence of an up to date, site-specific SWPPP is also confirmed. Appropriate compliance information and literature is provided to the operator at the time of the inspection. As of July, 2016, there were about 427 commercial/industrial facilities in the City that were subject to EMD inspections. Of the 427, restaurants made up about 75% of the total, with gas stations and auto repair shops together representing about 15% and auto body shops, auto dealers, nurseries, kennels, equipment rental companies and State General Permitted facilities making up the remaining 10% (listed in Table 6.4-1). For the commercial businesses located in the City that are not addressed by EMD, City inspection staff responds to reports of pollution through its illicit discharge program (discussed further in Section 6.6). The City also takes referrals from EMD and the general public regarding illicit connections and illegal dumping. The City continues to refer to EMD for inspection and investigation of any complaints related to business includes in EMD’s program (listed in Table 6.4-1).

CI.2.3 Conduct enforcement (incl. warnings, NOVs, Cease and Desist Orders, ACPs, and Cost Recoveries)

PERMIT REF


Decrease in enforcement actions from one permit cycle to the next

KEY INDICATOR

ASSESSMENT LEVEL


EMD inspectors provide written and verbal BMP guidance during inspections, are available to business operators by phone after inspection, and will do on-site compliance audits upon request. If a case is warranted the EMD inspector does provide a notice of violation or further actions are taken. Monitoring status inspections are an enforcement tool that are implemented in lieu of issuing an Administrative Enforcement Order to a facility found to be in violation of the Stormwater Ordinance. Monitoring status inspections are used as an enforcement tool as well as a means of “monitoring” a facility to ensure it does not relapse into non-compliance. The inspections consist of one to three unannounced re-inspections (the number of inspections conducted is based upon the type and number of violations that are present, and are billed at EMD’s current hourly rate).

A re-inspection fee assessed for failure to comply is separate from inspection fees associated with monitoring status inspections. Re-inspections (i.e., follow-up inspections) are conducted when the violation(s) noted during a previous inspection were serious, or when suitable return to compliance documentation is not submitted to EMD following issuance of an enforcement action. The cost of conducting the re-inspection may be assessed to a facility if a violation was not suitably corrected, or multiple visits to the facility are required.



CI.2.4 Conduct workshops, upon request or as needs are identified, for the regulated community (including special districts such as fire and water districts)

Elk Grove Municipal Program


6.5 Municipal Program

Element Introduction The goal of the Municipal Program Element is to prevent or reduce pollutants in runoff from municipal land use areas, facilities and activities in compliance with Provision 10 of the Stormwater Permit. Municipal facilities include buildings (e.g. corporation yards), transportation facilities (e.g., roads, roadsides, parking lots and fleet service areas), storm drainage collection and storage systems (e.g., pipes, open channels, stormwater detention basins and roadside ditches). Municipal activities include materials storage and handling, waste storage and disposal, vehicle and equipment washing and maintenance, pipe, channel and basin maintenance, street cleaning, vegetation management and repair/construction. Routine management and operations and maintenance of the storm drain system, streets and public areas must be conducted in a manner that does not inadvertently contribute pollution to local creeks and rivers. Additionally, the City must strive to be a model of pollution prevention for the community.

The Municipal Program Element addresses operation of City-owned facilities within the Stormwater Permit area (urbanized areas), not covered by the State NPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity (Industrial General Permit). This element does not address facilities owned by, or activities conducted by, entities outside of the City’s jurisdictional control. For example, the only fire-fighting activities within the City’s jurisdiction are handled by the Cosumnes Community Services District (CCSD). The CCSD currently has an NPDES permit, which is administered by the Regional Water Board.

Elk Grove Illicit Discharge Program


6.6 Illicit Discharge Program

Element Introduction The goal of the Illicit Discharge Program Element is to comply with requirements of Provision 11 of the Stormwater Permit by reducing the discharge of stormwater pollutants to the maximum extent practicable and to effectively eliminate illicit non-stormwater discharges from non-commercial sources (commercial sources are addressed in Section 6.4 of this Annual Report).

The storm drain system in the City consists of a network of drain inlets, manholes and pipes, as well as streets, sidewalks, gutters and roadside ditches, which discharge to local creeks and channels. Stormwater runoff from driveways, parking lots, roof drains and other surfaces typically also discharge into the storm drain system.

Two kinds of discharges are addressed by this element:

• Illicit Discharges – Dumping of liquid or solid wastes into the storm drain system. Examples include mobile carpet cleaning companies discharging dirty rinse water into the storm drain, a homeowner dumping used motor oil into a storm drain inlet, or a person dumping garbage or other wastes into creeks and channels.

• Illegal Connections – A piped connection allowing sanitary sewage to flow into the storm drain system. For example, a washing machine plumbed into the storm drain system rather than the sanitary sewer.

Any material dumped or discharged into the City’s storm drain system eventually makes its way to a local creek, where it can impair beneficial uses. This is true whether the material is classified as hazardous or not. Water quality, habitat, and aesthetics are all examples of benefits that can be impacted.

Elk Grove Planning and New Development Program


6.8 Planning and New Development Program

Element Introduction The primary goal of the Planning and New Development Program Element is to mitigate urban runoff pollution and other water quality impacts associated with new development and redevelopment. The element addresses the quality and quantity of runoff and the resultant potential impacts on downstream water quality and habitat conditions in receiving waters in accordance with the Stormwater Permit and the City’s Stormwater and Land Grading and Erosion Control Ordinances. Project applicants learn about the stormwater quality development standards through the City’s website, project meetings between applicants and City staff, and via the SSQP website: http://www.beriverfriendly.net/ . The Stormwater Quality Design Manual for Sacramento and South Placer Regions (Stormwater Quality Design Manual) and applicable City requirements are available to the development and design communities on the City’s website and the SSQP website. City staff holds project pre-application meetings with applicants to provide developers with stormwater quality compliance information to ensure that they incorporate the required stormwater measures as early as possible during design. Figure 6.8-1 illustrates the typical development review process for a project in the City and shows how stormwater quality and erosion and sediment control requirements are addressed. Within this process, engineers in the Public Works Department work collaboratively with Development Services and Construction Inspection staff. During the planning phase, each project application is reviewed to verify that applicable stormwater quality measures have been incorporated in accordance with the City’s development standards and Stormwater Quality Design Manual. If applicable, the project is conditioned to incorporate stormwater quality measures through written conditions of approval. Next, environmental documents are reviewed to ensure that potential environmental impacts are evaluated and appropriate mitigation measures are specified. In the plan review phase, the project improvement plans are reviewed to ensure proper design and placement of stormwater measures. This is the stage at which staff checks to make sure that the project is in compliance with the City’s Land Grading and Erosion Control Ordinance and has obtained coverage with the State’s Construction General Permit if applicable (see Section 6.3-Construction for more details). Prior to construction, depending on the type of stormwater quality facility involved, a maintenance agreement is executed with the property owner to ensure the long term maintenance of proposed treatment devices. This agreement is recorded with the County Recorder’s office. Once construction is complete, maintenance of the stormwater quality treatment devices is monitored via a self-certification program.
