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 following: Visual Observations: Visual observations include looking for evidence of dry weather flows such as staining, corrosion, sediment, surrounding vegetation, algae, mosquito larvae, insects, and 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 2 I MIN Ell AIM t- wv • 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 • Oil and grease • Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos • Cadmium (Dissolved) • Copper (Dissolved) • Lead (Dissolved) • Zinc (Dissolved) • Enterococcus bacteria • Total Coliform bacteria • Fecal Coliform bacteria Trash Monitoring: The new Municipal Permit requires that the City implement a trash monitoring program during dry weather monitoring. The Copermittee Dry Weather Monitoring Sub-Workgroup developed a trash assessment form and procedures for trash monitoring. We will complete a trash assessment form at each routine site visit. 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, including trash monitoring. The report will include our interpretation of the field data and test results as to the possible presence of IC/IDs. Reporting also includes preparing a spreadsheet of the collected data in the regionally standardized format and submitting it to the County of San Diego. 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 3 woh.- s MI =WM A= '-- INN ANNO WI N A V At the conclusion of the follow-up investigations, a summary report will be prepared summarizing the findings, conclusions and recommendations. Per new Municipal Permit requirements, all laboratory analytical exceedances will be followed up within two business days of receiving the results from the lab. This is a more aggressive timeframe than previously required. Also, upstream investigations for bacteria will utilize Colilert and Enterolert methods for bacterial analyses. These newer methods are more accurate than the methods used in the past. MS4 Monitoring and Special Studies. The new Municipal Permit requires that the City conduct MS4 monitoring and source identification monitoring programs. The MS4 monitoring will be conducted concurrently with the dry weather monitoring program and will include additional laboratory analytical work. Additional monitoring studies may also be necessary for source investigation purposes. In some portions of the City exceedances have been noted for several consecutive years in the dry weather monitoring program, and it may be necessary to perform additional monitoring beyond the typical dry weather follow-up investigations to evaluate the effectiveness of measures taken to address the sources of the exceedances. The new Municipal Permit also includes stricter requirements for effectiveness assessment, including outcome levels 4, 5, and 6 (load reduction, change in quality of discharge, and change in receiving water quality). Additional monitoring may be required to evaluate the effectiveness of City activities in accordance with these requirements. 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, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Report preparation includes 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 information regarding the implementation of the City's JURMP. We will stay in contact with the City's departments thereafter. Pertinent information will be acquired under this task to be used in the report. Review and Respond to RWQCB Comments The RWQCB made some comments on the City's 2007-2008 JURMP Annual Report and the March 2008 JURMP update that must be addressed in the 2008-2009 JURMP Annual Report. We will prepare a response to those comments and include it as an attachment to the JURMP Annual Report. Prepare Annual JURMP Report This task includes the preparation of the Annual JURMP Report in accordance with Section I of the Municipal Permit. A draft report will be prepared and submitted to the City for comments, after which a final report will be prepared. Two hard copies and four electronic copies of the final report will be prepared and delivered to the City. The following sections will be included in the report: 4 - 'IMEMIla I IIMMEMI m I.

D-MAx will conduct educational workshops and/or prepare education materials at the City's request to target audiences identified in the JURMP document. An educational calendar has been prepared in each of the last several years, and another calendar incorporating artwork from school children in the City, similar to the one prepared for 2009, is planned for 2010. Educational content for other programs may cover a variety of topics related to storm water quality and watershed concepts listed in the JURMP and be tailored to each specific audience. Suggested workshops and target audiences include the topics listed below: Planning and Engineering Departments The goal of this workshop will be to inform the Planning and Engineering Departments of general concepts listed in the JURMP and to address new Permit requirements relevant to each department. The Permit requires changes in land -use planning and engineering aspects of new development and redevelopment projects within the City, including the implementation of the City's SUSMP. Among the new requirements is the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) measures for all development projects. Public Works Staff The workshop will be targeted towards public works employees and will focus mainly on the practical aspects of BMP implementation. It will also address changes in public works operations required by the Municipal Permit, such as effects on channel maintenance and storm drain cleanout frequency. In the event that the City's NPDES Storm Water Compliance Inspector conducts this training, D-MAx will not provide a training session for this audience. Construction Inspectors The educational workshop for construction inspectors will include general concepts listed in the JURMP and additionally cover such topics as BMP implementation and maintenance, good housekeeping measures, site inspections and inspection frequency. School Students We will assist the City in providing training workshops for school students. The topics for these workshops include the source of pollutants, the impact of pollutants on the receiving water bodies and BMPs to prevent the pollutions. Workshops At the request of the City, we will provide targeted educational workshops for various industry or stakeholder groups. D-MAx has recently conducted workshops for industrial businesses, automotive businesses, the development and construction industry, and City residents. Educational Materials We will assist the City in developing educational materials such as pamphlets, calendars, articles for newsletter or websites, or fact sheets. These materials may to be targeted at the development community, City residents, industrial and commercial businesses, City staff, or other audiences. The new Municipal Permit requires additional education related to watershed concepts and watershed pollutants of concern. 6 w� s Mal I IIMM/M N RIM -- MN MN_- wv -migna w allbC1A Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program. The City of National City is located within the San Diego Bay Watershed. The Municipal Permit requires each Copermittee to collaborate with other Copermittees within its watershed to identify and mitigate the highest priority water quality issues/pollutants in the watershed. D-MAx will coordinate with the watershed Copermittees on behalf of the City of National City and fulfill the group requirements per the City instructions. In each of the last three years, we have assisted the City by helping write the San Diego Bay WURMP Annual Reports, and the City has been listed as among the primary authors of those annual reports. The City is also required to implement activities that measurably change knowledge, awareness, or behavior or target audiences and activities that result in significant pollutant load reductions or source abatement each year. We will assist the City with implementing these activities to meet WURMP requirements. Representing the City in Various Meetings. D-MAx will represent the City of National City in various meetings including those with other Copermittees, the Regional Board, and/or Regional Workgroups. The City has taken on the responsibility of serving as the secretary for the Municipal Workgroup, and we will assist the City in fulfilling that responsibility. Other Storm Water Services. It has been our experience with other local municipalities and with the City of National City that storm water related situations arise from time to time that require immediate or expert action. For example, additional services related to the Paleta Creek/7th Street Channel TMDL, which is currently under development, may be required. The process of obtaining permits to allow the City to resume channel maintenance activities was initiated in 2008-2009, but we anticipate that some work to finalize the process will also be necessary in 2009-2010. That process is anticipated to involve coordinating with the RWQCB, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the California Department of Fish and Game. D-MAx will be pleased to provide any other as -needed, on -call services to the City of National City that have not been identified above. 7 EXHIBIT B COST SUMMARY & FEE SCHEDULE We propose to complete the aforementioned services on a time and materials basis (not to exceed $200,000 total) in accordance with the attached schedule of fees.
