Response to RFP for WWTP SWPPP Update

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
LACO will prepare an update to the existing Industrial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (ISWPPP),
prepared by Brown and Caldwell in November 2008, in order to develop an ISWPPP which meets the
requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) New Industrial General Permit (IGP),
Order No. 2014 -0057 -DWQ, which became effective July 1, 2015.
This updated ISWPPP will discuss the industrial activities associated with the operation of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant and will identify those BMPs needed to treat and /or control the release of storm water
which has come into contact with industrial activities or materials. Preparation of the ISWPPP will be
completed through utilizing the existing ISWPPP, the existing Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
(SPCC) Plan, and the existing Hazardous Material Management Plan to obtain background information, as
well as site reconnaissance, which will be conducted to verify site conditions and assess potential industrial
pollutant sources.
Generally, ISWPPP preparation consists of the following subtasks:
a. Attend a pre - project kick -off meeting
b. Review and evaluate existing SWPPP and other pertinent plans, permits, and documents
c. Conduct one visit to the site to observe site conditions and gather site data
d. Prepare a Site Map illustrating the pertinent site features
e. Outline the duties and responsibilities of the site pollution prevention team
f. Provide a description and assessment of all potential pollution sources onsite
g. Select and describe current and /or proposed BMPs to be used to control the potential
pollution sources
h. Prepare a Stormwater Control Plan illustrating the stormwater run -on and discharge points,
sampling locations, and the Best Management Practices currently in use and /or proposed
for the site
i. Develop a Monitoring Implementation Plan
j. Description of the sampling, visual observation, reporting, and record keeping
requirements associated with the new IGP
k. Identify and describe conditions or circumstances which may require future revisions to the
BMPs and /or SWPPP
I. Describe the requirements of the Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation
m. Provide blank copies of applicable inspection, sampling, and reporting forms for use by
site staff members
Generally, the ISWPPP will follow the format and provide the information outlined below:

This outline closely follows the outline of the new IGP in regards to the information required to be provided
in ISWPPPs.
Based on our initial review of the existing ISWPPP and the information collected during a site visit to conduct
preliminary site reconnaissance, LACO believes that improvements to the current sampling protocols can
be made to reduce the number of routine sampling locations, as well as to provide opportunities to collect
run -on samples in the event that the site's discharge sample tests high for any of the monitored pollutants.
In summary, the following modifications to the Site Monitoring and Implementation Plan would be
recommended:
• Establish the compliance discharge sampling location upstream of the convergence of the un-
named tributary/ "Spanish Creek" and the Russian River (site discharge point)
• Establish run -on sampling locations (only to be sampled if exceedances are noted at the
compliance discharge sampling location) at the following locations:
a Near the front entrance gate, to capture run -on from the adjacent roadway
Near the intersection of the northern site boundary and the north -south drainage course,
to capture run -on from the adjacent agricultural properties
Discontinue compliance sampling at the two current sampling locations (storm drain discharge
pump stations), and sample only at these locations if exceedances are noted at the compliance
discharge sampling location and /or for internal, non - reported use only
LACO proposes to meet the following scheduling milestone for the project:
• Enter into contact with City: October 7, 2015
• Provide insurance certifications and execute Professional Services Agreement: October 21, 2015
• Submit draft ISWPPP for City's review and comment: prior to December 1, 2015
• Submit final ISWPPP for the City, both in hard copy and PDF format: prior to December 30, 2015
