We will update the construction sites list based on the existing database and update
existing industrial and commercial facility lists based on the based on the latest inspections
information.
Data Management. In order to facilitate annual reporting, and to manage the JURMP
inspection program on a day-to-day basis, data must be tracked and stored in a reliable,
easy -to -use manner. There are two basic types of information that must be gathered and
collected regarding storm water compliance inspections: inventories of facilities and
inspection information.
D-Max has created a database using Access for the City of National City that is capable of
storing, managing, and manipulating this data. The database will incorporate the City's
business license data and contact information for all of the businesses that are subject to
inspection. In this program, blank electronic inspection forms are developed for each
business and completed once the actual inspection is finished

Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring and Field Screening. This task will include
conducting dry weather field screening in accordance with the requirements of the RWQCB
Municipal Permit. The objective of this program is to detect and eliminate illicit connections
and illegal discharges (IC/IDs) in order to minimize the negative impacts of human activities
on receiving water bodies. The City of National City has identified 15 primary monitoring
stations where data will be collected during the dry weather analytical and fieldscreening
monitoring program. This task will include the followings:
Visual Observations: Visual observations include looking for evidence of dry
weather flows such as staining, corrosion, sediment, surrounding vegetation, algae,
mosquito larvae, insects, rodents and other animals in the vicinity of the outfall.
Field Analysis: At each site the flow and its temperature will be measured and a
sample will be taken for field analyses of the following parameters:
■ Specific conductance
• Temperature
• Turbidity
■ pH
• Reactive Phosphorus
• Nitrate Nitrogen
• Ammonia Nitrogen
• Surfactants (MBAS)
Analytical Monitoring: Water samples from 25 percent of the sites where ponded or
flowing water is observed, will be collected and submitted to a California
Department of Health Services certified laboratory for analysis of the following
constituents:
• Total hardness
▪ Surfactants (MBAS)
• Oil and grease
• Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos

AIM 41147k
• Cadmium (Dissolved)
• Copper (Dissolved)
• Lead (Dissolved)
• Zinc (Dissolved)
• Enterococcus bacteria
• Total Coliform bacteria
• Fecal Coliform bacteria
Preparation of a Summary Report: At the conclusion of the field screening
program, a report will be prepared to summarize the observations and the results of
the study. The report will include our interpretation of the field data and test results
as to the possible presence of IC/Ids.
Follow -Up Investigations. During the dry weather field screening program if field
investigations do not reveal a specific source of contamination, or if the results of the
laboratory analysis indicate presence of pollutants in excess of action levels, further
investigation will be conducted which may include the following steps:
• Tracing flows or discharges upstream
• Conducting field screening sampling
• Contacting dischargers
• Sampling for laboratory analysis
• Documenting source investigations
At the conclusion of the follow-up investigations a summary report will be prepared
summarizing the findings, conclusions and recommendations.
Preparation of JURMP Annual Report. As a requirement of the Municipal Permit, the
City must produce an annual report to the RWQCB detailing the activities that have been
conducted during the previous reporting period to reduce pollutants in urban runoff. The
JURMP Annual Report serves to document the activities that the City has conducted during
the past reporting period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. In order to prepare the
required report we will conduct the following:
Coordinate Information Transfer with City personnel
Contacting several City departments to acquire information on the program

We will update the construction sites list based on the existing database and update
existing industrial and commercial facility lists based on the based on the latest inspections
information.
Data Management. In order to facilitate annual reporting, and to manage the JURMP
inspection program on a day-to-day basis, data must be tracked and stored in a reliable,
easy -to -use manner. There are two basic types of information that must be gathered and
collected regarding storm water compliance inspections: inventories of facilities and
inspection information.
D-MAx has created a database using Access for the City of National City that is capable of
storing, managing, and manipulating this data. The database will incorporate the City's
business license data and contact information for all of the businesses that are subject to
inspection. In this program, blank electronic inspection forms are developed for each
business and completed once the actual inspection is finished

Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring and Field Screening. This task will include
conducting dry weather field screening in accordance with the requirements of the RWQCB
Municipal Permit. The objective of this program is to detect and eliminate illicit connections
and illegal discharges (IC/IDs) in order to minimize the negative impacts of human activities
on receiving water bodies. The City of National City has identified 15 primary monitoring
stations where data will be collected during the dry weather analytical and field screening
monitoring program. This task will include the followings:
Visual Observations: Visual observations include looking for evidence of dry
weather flows such as staining, corrosion, sediment, surrounding vegetation, algae,
mosquito larvae, insects, rodents and other animals in the vicinity of the outfall. .
Field Analysis: At each site the flow and its temperature will be measured and a
sample will be taken for field analyses of the following parameters:
• Specific conductance
■ Temperature
■ Turbidity
- pH
■ Reactive Phosphorus
• Nitrate Nitrogen
• Ammonia Nitrogen
• Surfactants (MBAS)
Analytical Monitoring: Water samples from 25 percent of the sites where ponded or
flowing water is observed, will be collected and submitted to a California
Department of Health Services certified laboratory for analysis of the following
constituents:
• Total hardness
• Surfactants (MBAS)
• Oil and grease
• Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos

Preparation of a Summary Report: At the conclusion of the field screening
program, a report will be prepared to summarize the observations and the results of
the study. The report will include our interpretation of the field data and test results
as to the possible presence of IC/Ids.
Follow -Up Investigations. During the dry weather field screening program if field
investigations do not reveal a specific source of contamination, or if the results of the
laboratory analysis indicate presence of pollutants in excess of action levels, further
investigation will be conducted which may include the following steps:
• Tracing flows or discharges upstream
• Conducting field screening sampling
• Contacting dischargers
• Sampling for laboratory analysis
• Documenting source investigations
At the conclusion of the follow-up investigations a summary report will be prepared
summarizing the findings, conclusions and recommendations.
Preparation of JURMP Annual Report. As a requirement of the Municipal Permit, the
City must produce an annual report to the RWQCB detailing the activities that have been
conducted during the previous reporting period to reduce pollutants in urban runoff. The
JURMP Annual Report serves to document the activities that the City has conducted during
the past reporting period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. In order to prepare the
required report we will conduct the following:
Coordinate Information Transfer with City personnel
Contacting several City departments to acquire information on the program
implementation and special activities carried out through the year. We will have initial
meetings with responsible personnel at each department to prepare a plan for receiving
