RESOLUTION INDICATING INTENT OF THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY TO JOIN WITH OTHER GENERAL AND
SPECIAL PURPOSE UNITS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN
A PLANNING PROCESS FOR A COORDINATED WASTE
TREATMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE SAN DIEGO
REGION
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 208 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, PL 92-500
(hereinafter called "the Act"), the Administrator of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency has by
regulation published guidelines for the identification
of those areas which, as a result of urban -industrial
concentrations or other factors, have or are likely to
have, water quality control problems (40 CFR Part 126); and
WHEREAS, the San Diego area (hereinafter called
"the Area") satisfies the criteria contained in the Act
and guidelines for designation of the area pursuant to
Section 208; and
WHEREAS, Section 126.10 of the guidelines requires,
among other things, that the affected general and special
purpose units of local government within the area must
show their intent to join together in a planning process
which will result in a coordinated waste treatment manage-
ment system for the Area; and
WHEREAS, such planning process and waste treat-
ment management system is a necessary and significant
measure to control present as well as future sources of
water pollution which may affect water quality, in order
to prevent, abate and solve existing and potential water
quality control problems;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of
National City recognizing that the San Diego area has,
or is likely to have, water quality control problems,
supports designation of the Area pursuant to Section 208
and the EPA guidelines.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of National
City intends to join with other affected general and special
purpose units of local government within the boundaries of
the area in a planning process which will result in a
coordinated waste treatment management system for the Area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, inasmuch as the
Comprehensive Planning Organization (CPO) is a single
representative organization with elected officials or
their designees from local governments and is capable of
coordinating effective areawide waste treatment management
planning for the Area, the City of National City supports
the designation of CPO as the planning agency for the
Area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the 208 waste treat-
ment planning program should not duplicate, or conflict
with, the State Basin Plan (Sec. 303e) or existing local
wastewater facilities plans (Sec. 201).
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 16th day of December, 1975.
