Mr. Tim Eriksen
City of Ukiah
300 Seminary Avenue
Ukiah, CA 95482
Subject: Proposal for Storm Water Support Services, 2021/2022 Fiscal Year
Dear Mr. Eriksen:
Stone Creek Environmental Consulting (Stone Creek) is pleased to present this proposal and fee
estimate to provide stormwater support services to the City of Ukiah (City). Colleen Hunt,
owner, is a Certified Professional in Municipal Stormwater Management and brings direct
regulatory compliance experience with municipal stormwater permit requirements. She has
worked directly with dozens of municipal stormwater Permittees during her time with the
Regional Water Board and for the past three years as a consultant. Colleen has been providing
storm water assistance to the City since 2020.
The City is subject to requirements of the Regional Water Board Waste Discharge Requirements
Order No. R1-2015-0030, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit
No. CA0025054 for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
(Permit). The Permit became effective since January 6, 2016 and expired on January 5, 2021.
The Permit is administratively extended until the Regional Water Board renews the Permit. The
Regional Water Board anticipates that the Permit will be renewed in the 2021/2022 fiscal year,
although it is hard to anticipate the exact timing of the renewal. Until a new Permit is adopted,
the City must continue implementing the requirements of the expired Permit.
Tasks in this proposal are to assist the City with the on-going requirements of the expired Permit.
This includes:
Sediment Reduction Plan Implementation
Post-Construction BMP Inspections
Municipal Staff Training
Annual Reporting
Additionally, if the Permit is renewed in the 2021/2022 fiscal year, the City will potentially be
subject to new requirements once the Permit is effective. The City may need assistance with
implementing the new Permit requirements. Although we cannot determine the specific
requirements, it is likely the City will need to begin implementing the Trash Implementation
Plan (TIP) once the new Permit is effective. This proposal also includes a task to assist with the
initial implementation of the TIP.

This proposal includes a scope of work to provide assistance to the City on these Permit
requirements as outlined below.
Scope of Work
Task 1. Sediment Reduction Plan Implementation
Section I of the Permit requires the City to develop and implement a Sediment Reduction Plan to
assess effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) used to control sediment in storm
water runoff. The City developed a workplan for this requirement that was approved by the
Regional Water Board. The workplan divided the scope of work into four phases:
Phase I Source Investigation Research
Phase II Sediment Source Field Investigation
Phase III Sediment Source BMP Plan
Phase IV Progress Reporting
The City has completed Phase I and is in the process of implementing Phase II. Phase II will be
complete by the start of the contract. This task is to assist the City with the implementation of
Phase III and IV.
Requirements for Phase III includes implementing BMPs identified in Phase II to control
significant sediment sources and studying the effectiveness of both new and existing BMPs. To
complete this effectiveness study, Stone Creek proposes to quantify water quality benefits of
BMPs using a cloud-based modeling system. Traditional effectiveness assessments require
extensive water quality monitoring, which can be time consuming and costly. Additionally,
traditional surface water monitoring often yields inconclusive results due to the multitude of
factors influencing receiving water quality.
To develop a more reliable and cost-effective methodology for tracking sediment source BMP
effectiveness, we propose to utilize an asset management web-based platform to inventory
BMPs, track effectiveness, monitor maintenance needs, calculate sediment load reduction
benefits, and generate annual reporting information. Effectiveness is tracked through calculating
the true water quality benefit associated with sediment load reduction. This data driven approach
provides a direct, measurable load reduction using a calibrated and validated model.
This systematic approach to effectiveness assessment will result in reliable and defensible data
and will eliminate the need to conduct in-field monitoring. This provides a streamlined approach
to complying with the sediment reduction requirements and will assist in the future with a direct
compliance measurement for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) waste load allocation
requirements. More traditional effectiveness assessment would likely cost three times the amount
of a web-based platform.

As part of this task, Stone Creek will populate and manage the platform. This includes entering
BMPs used to control sediment discharges into the platform, maintaining information, and
running load reduction calculations for reporting purposes. BMPs to be included in the inventory
will be defined in the Phase II Sediment Reduction Report. Utilizing the data generated in the
platform, Stone Creek will also develop the effectiveness assessment report for the sediment
reduction plan due to the Regional Water Board October 15, 2022.
The fee estimate includes a user fee to use the platform for one year. Based on our estimating,
this methodology is the most cost-effective approach, even with the need to pay a user fee. The
user fee includes the ability to incorporate other program areas into the platform, including
tracking Low Impact Development (LID) inspections, storm drain maintenance needs,
construction site inspections, industrial and commercial inspections, and trash plan management.
Task 1 Deliverables: Effectiveness Assessment Report. Load reduction report for the 2021/2022
Annual Report.
Task 2. Post‐Construction Inspections
Permit Section VI.D.12. requires the City to track and inspect all new development and
redevelopment projects with LID BMPs. As part of this task, Stone Creek will assist the City
with developing an inventory of LID BMPs, which have been installed in the City, including a
spreadsheet, consistent with the fields required by the Permit. We will prepare the inventory
based on a review of City provided development maps and records. It may be necessary to
review maintenance declarations for LID projects to complete the inventory. The inventory will
include mapping identified projects with LID features.
The second part of this task will include inspecting LID BMPs to assess functionality, with
particular attention to BMP maintenance including hydraulic function, failure, invasive
vegetation, health of desired vegetation including herbicide overuse and excessive mowing,
vector risk, trash and debris, sediment clogging, improper modifications, solids removal, pump-
out, blockage, and drawdown drainage. As specified in the Permit, inspections will take place
with LID BMPs that are in the public right of way or at locations that would not require entering
private property. Stone Creek assumes eight projects to be subject to inspections. Each
inspection will be documented on an inspection checklist, which will include recommendations
for follow up, as applicable. A Technical Memorandum (TM) will be prepared with a summary
of inspections completed and relevant findings. A photo record of the BMPs will be provided as
part of the TM.
Task 2. Deliverable: Inspection Report TM.
Task 3. Storm Water Management Plan
Under this task, Stone Creek will develop an “at-a-glance” storm water management plan. The
plan will be presented as a spreadsheet including Permit requirements, BMPs necessary to meet

the requirements, and a schedule of implementation. The plan will be provided within 30 days of
an executed contract.
Task 3. Deliverable: Storm Water Management Plan
Task 4. Municipal Staff Training
Section G.12. of the Permit requires the City to annually train staff whose interactions, jobs, and
activities may affect stormwater quality. We will provide training on storm water topics selected
by the City. This may include illicit discharge, non-storm water discharges, municipal activities
BMP requirements, and/or integrated pest management. Training will be provided as a pre-
recorded video or in person as conditions allow.
Task 4. Deliverable: Stormwater training, including preparation of a PowerPoint presentation,
training materials, and training documentation records.
Task 5. Annual Report
The Annual Report for the 2020/2021 reporting period is due October 15, 2021. At the beginning
of the new Permit term, the Regional Water Board developed an annual report template for
Permittee use. The template provides a streamlined method for annual reporting. We will assist
the City with populating the template and gathering information needed for reporting. The City
will need to complete sections of the report with data that is not readily available to us to
adequately complete the report. The City will be responsible for submitting the final report to the
Regional Water Board.
Task 5. Deliverable: Draft Annual Report
Task 6. Trash Implementation Plan
Stone Creek is currently in the process of developing a Trash Implementation Plan (TIP) to submit
to the Regional Water Board in response to a 13383 Order issued to the City in 2017. The TIP will
provide an implementation strategy to comply with the State Water Board adopted Trash
Provisions. Although the strategy for the TIP has not yet been developed, the proposed strategy
will likely include a combination of installing full trash capture systems and implementing
institutional controls to reduce the discharge of trash to surface water.
We can anticipate the implementation of the TIP as a requirement incorporated into the new
Permit. If the new Permit becomes effective during the 2021/2022 fiscal year, we can anticipate
needing to initiate implementation of the TIP. In the event implementation is required during this
contract, this task is reserved for assisting with planning the first set of identified tasks. Under this
task Stone Creek will assist the City with implementing the Year 1 strategy.

Task 6. Deliverable: None
Task 7. Council Meeting Presentation
Under this task, Stone Creek will provide a presentation to the City Council on the storm water
management program. The presentation will include an overview of the requirements, the City’s
general approach to implementation, future requirements, and program challenges. The City will
select the best meeting to present to the Council.
Task 7. Deliverable: PDF of presentation
Task 8. Phase I Permit Renewal
The Regional Water Board is in the process of renewing the Permit. At this time the exact
schedule for renewal is not known, but it is likely the renewal will take place during the
2021/2022 fiscal year. The City will be supported during the renewal process by the Russian
River Watershed Association (RRWA). It is anticipated the RRWA will assist the member
agencies with the Permit renewal by attending Board workshops, reviewing and commenting on
the draft Permit and attending the adoption hearing. The City may want to participate in this
process independent of RRWA. As part of this task, Stone Creek is available to assist the City
with the Permit renewal process. This can include reviewing and discussing the Permit with City
staff, assisting with drafting comments during the public comment period, reviewing the City’s
comment letter, and other efforts the City may find helpful during the renewal process.
Once the Permit is adopted the City will need to take steps to begin implementing the Permit.
Under this task, we will assist the City with Permit implementation, including developing an
implementation plan and schedule for the first year of the Permit.
Completion of this task is dependent on the adoption of the new Permit. In the event the Permit
is not adopted during the 2021/2022 fiscal year as anticipated, this work will not be completed.
Task 8 Deliverables: Phase I Permit Implementation Plan and Schedule.
Task 9. Program Management
This task will include general project management tasks needed to manage the contract properly
and effectively. Tasks will include a project schedule, managing budget, monthly invoicing, and
routine communications with the City, including in person meetings to report progress and
discuss key recommendations and decisions.
Task 9. Deliverable: Invoices
