The geographic scope of the Peninsula EWMP comprises the incorporated Cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates and Rolling Hills Estates and unincorporated areas of the County of Los Angeles.The Palos Verdes Peninsula is situated in the southwestern portion of Los Angeles County atop the Palos Verdes Hills, which are bounded to the north by Torrance, to the east by the City of Los Angeles, and to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean, The Palos Verdes Peninsula is distinct in topography and land usage when compared with much more densely developed, low-lying neighboring areas. The major land use designation on the Peninsula is residential with significant portions of open space and soft bottom canyons. A drainage divide dissects the Peninsula from the northeast to the southwest with the westerly portion draining into the Santa Monica Bay and the easterly portion draining to two sub-watersheds within the Dominguez Channel Watershed;the Machado Lake and the Greater LA Harbor sub-watersheds. Drainage from the Peninsula Cities is conveyed via the natural soft bottom canyon systems in conjunction with structured storm drain systems. These systems are intertwined and cross-connected warranting a Peninsula-wide coordinated approach to monitoring and implementation efforts. The City of Rolling Hills is not currently intending to participate in the EWMP, but will be participating in the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP)along with the members of the Peninsula EWMP. Peninsula 7 June 27,2013 EWMP N01 H-31 Due tothe City's unique character and topographic features, the City is developed with single family residences on targe estate like lots where low impact development measures are regularly implemented. Therefore, the City has determined that there is no reasonable opportunity for regional or distributed BMPs within the City other than LID implemented on private property;,therefore,the City of Rolling Hills has determined to implement the minimum control measures and utilize source control and institutional controls tomeet the Permit requirements. Figure 1 provides a map of the watershed boundaries and notes the jurisdictional boundaries of the Permittees. Although the Peninsula EVVh4P does not include all jurisdictions within the Palos Verdes Peninsula, all drainage infrastructure operated and maintained by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District within the boundaries shown in Figure 1 will be covered under the EWMP. Permittees do not have jurisdiction over lands owned by school districts, the State of California, or the Federal government.

PLAN CONCEPT AND INTERIM MILESTONES AND DEADLINES: The Peninsula EVVK8PABendes have collectively developed Implementation and Monitoring Plans with strategies to comply with the area's TK4DLs. The Peninsula EVVK4P Agencies will continue to apply strategies set forth by the developed plans as well as build upon the current plans. In addition, the Peninsula EWMP Agencies will re-evaluate the proposed watershed control measures, identify additional regional projects to maximize opportunities for retaining all non-stormwater runoff and stormwater from the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event, and identify additional watershed control measures for those areas inthe watershed that cannot beaddressed bvaregional project. The Peninsula EVVK8PAgendes are comprised mostly of residential land use areas with a geographical setting of multiple hills.The hills in this area pose the greatest challenge in finding an area to implement a regional project, however they also allow for a greater opportunity in a project being fed by gravity rather than pumping water 10 an infiltration project. For example, the Chandler Quarry pit collects flows from a 707 acre tributary area and has the capacity to retain and infiltrate optothe 50'yearstorm before discharging to the nearby Project 77 storm drain. This benefit allows for a less expensive, more sustainable regional project. Table 9lists interim milestones and deadlines for the Peninsula EVVK89.

PERMITTEE MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING: A copy of the final draft Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) between the Cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates,the County ofLos Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District is included inAttachment A. All agencies have committed to participation in the EVVK4P through signed letters of intent located in Attachment B. The agreement will be executed before December 28,2013. Peninsula 4 June J7,zoz3 swmvpwo/ H-33 SECTION 9. COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENT ASTRUCTURAL BMP OR SUITE OF BM8PS: The Permittees listed in Table 10 will implement the identified structural BMP or suite of BMPs to fulfill the obligations under Part V|.C.b.iii Table 10:Structural BMPs to be Implemented in the Peninsula EWMP Watersheds. Structural BMP or Suite of BMPs to be Planned Watershed Implemented Implementation Date Dominguez Channel Model Equestrian Center Completion anticipated Watershed-____ by June 2015 Santa Monica Bay San Ramon Canyon Stormwater Flood Reduction Completion anticipated Watershed Project by June 205 Section 9.I—Model Equestrian Center The Model Equestrian Center project will use the existing municipal Peter Weber Equestrian Center, a seven and one-half (7.5) acre facility that houses 116 horses, to create a public demonstration site for environmentally sustainable horse-keeping practices while improving the quality of atorrnvvater and other runoff.This project will be divided into two parts. Part A of this project will involve retrofits of existing facilities. The existing equestrian facilities will be retrofitted to improve drainage and ytorrowater runoff quality. These retrofits will include downspout redirection, drainage correction from existing horse stalls, biooma|e or similar water quality treatment system installation, cover for daily manure storage, and drainage improvements to existing arenas and the overall site.Water quality will be improved by providing a permanent cover for daily manure storage, directing runoff away from areas where homey are kept, and bioswm|es will provide stormwater treatment by filtering large particles in the svva|e and removing smaller particles and associated contaminants through the 6iorm1emtionportion provided bythe vegetation. Port 8 of this project involves new construdion. A new 15,000 square-foot barn and associated improvements will be constructed on the 2.5 acre northwest portion of the site. Key water quality features will include e covered horse wash area with wash water captured and reused for subsurface irrigation to maintain appearance of habitat buffers and treatment biosvva|es, manure management to control vectors, odors and runoff, and a cistern or rain barrels to collect rainfall from the barn roof for use in irrigation. In addition, the facility will utilize Low Impact Development (LID) and green building techniques, integrated pest management through structural design, and equine-safe native and drought- proofp|antbuffeo. Both parts of the project,the new facility and the retrofit,will be designed to demonstrate BMPs that can be easily replicated at private stables. Interpretive signage will demonstrate and educate the equestrian community on how the 8MPs protect and improve stornnvvaterquality. This signage will be installed to educate horse boarders and visitors on the specific BIVIPs integrated into the facilities and on the site. Section 9.2—Son Ramon Canyon StormwaterFlood Reduction Project The San Ramon Canyon is located in the southeastern corner of the city of Rancho Palos Verdes. The canyon provides a natural drainage course for areas near Palos Verdes Drive East. Due to the geographical characteristics of the canyon, landslide induced rock and soil deposits in the canyon bottom are transported during heavy rainfall events.This creates flooding of the roadway, overwhelming existing drainage facilities,endangering nearby roadway integrity and threatening downstream residents.The San Peninsula 10 June 27,2013 swMPm01 H-34 Ramon Canyon Stomnvxater Hood Reduction Project, estimated to cost approximately twenty million dollars ($20,000000), involves significant drainage restoration work to stabilize Palos Verdes Drive East and Palos Verdes Drive South. According to the Project Study Report for the San Ramon Canyon project the canyon is capable of producing over 5,400 cubic yards of debris and sediment. The effects of sediment in stormwater runoff on receiving water quality are both environmentally and economically costly. Sediment laden runoff can adversely affect water quality physically, chemically, and biologically.The sediment that is transported by stormwmter runoff can carry organic matter, animal wastes, heavy metals, nutrients and pesticides.All of these pollutants bind to sediment particles and can pose significant threats to the quality of downstream waters. Substantial impacts from heavy sediment loading can range from direct effects on aquatic ecosystems such as increased turbidity and e|Qe| blooms, to indirect threats To human health from toxic materials accumulating in fish tissue. The myriad of effects on water quality from sediment-laden runoff can introduce aquatic biota and public health concerns resulting in substantial impacts for municipalities. The San Ramon Canyon Stormwater Flood Reduction Project will help alleviate environmental consequences by reducing the amount ofsediment and associated pollutants tmthe Santa Monica Bay and Pacific Ocean. The San Ramon Canyon Stormwater Rood Reduction Project is anticipated to be completed byJune 2O15.

This MS4 Permit was adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (Regional Board), on November 8, 2012, and became effective on December 28, 2012. The MS4 Permit and all attachments are posted on the Regional Board's website at the following address: http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/1osangeles/Waterissues/programs/stormwater/munieipaI/ index.shtml The MS4 Permit includes provisions that allow permittees the flexibility to customize their stormwater programs to achieve compliance with certain receiving water limitations and water quality based effluent limits over time. Specifically, permittees may voluntarily choose to implement an Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP). The EWMP includes prioritization of water-quality issues, identification of implementation strategies, control measures, and Best Management Practices (BMPs) sufficient to meet pertinent standards, integrated water-quality monitoring, and opportunity for stakeholder input. The EWMP uses integrated planning to comprehensively evaluate opportunities to implement multi-benefit regional projects. Through the EWMP, permittees will not only implement projects to improve water quality, but also have incentives to evaluate and, where feasible, implement regional projects that retain all nonstormwater runoff and all stormwater runoff from the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event for the drainage area tributary to those projects. These projects may also achieve other benefits such as flood protection, water supply enhancement, recreational opportunities, and wildlife habitat enhancement. 3 of 19 H-64 The following permittees are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop an EWMP: • County of Los Angeles (County) • Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) • City of Palos Verde Estates • City of Rancho Palos Verdes • City of Rolling Hills Estates The City of Rolling Hills is not participating in the EWMP; however, it will be participating in a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (LIMP) along with the other Peninsula EWMP agencies. The following permittees are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop a LIMP: • County of Los Angeles (County) • Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) • City of Palos Verde Estates • City of Rancho Palos Verdes • City of Rolling Hills • City of Rolling Hills Estates 2.0 Project Area The geographic scope of the EWMP comprises the incorporated Cities of Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Rolling Hills Estates, as well as unincorporated areas of the County of Los Angeles. Although the Peninsula EWMP does not include all jurisdictions within the Palos Verdes Peninsula, all drainage infrastructure operated and maintained by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District within the boundaries shown in Figure 1 will be covered under the EWMP. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is situated in the southwestern portion of Los Angeles County atop the Palos Verdes Hills, which are bounded to the north by Torrance, to the east by the City of Los Angeles, and to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is distinct in topography and land usage when compared with much more densely developed, low-lying neighboring areas. The major land use designation on the Peninsula is residential with significant portions of open space and soft bottom canyons. A drainage divide dissects the Peninsula from the northeast to the southwest with the westerly portion draining into the Santa Monica Bay and the easterly portion draining to two sub-watersheds within the Dominguez Channel Watershed: the Machado Lake and the Greater Los Angeles Harbor sub-watersheds. Drainage from the Peninsula Cities is conveyed via the natural soft bottom canyon systems in conjunction with structured storm drain systems. These systems are intertwined and cross-connected warranting a Peninsula-wide coordinated approach to monitoring and implementation efforts, 4 of 19 H-65 The City of Rolling Hills is not currently intending to participate in the EWMP, but will be participating in the CIMP along with the members of the Peninsula EWMP. Due to the City's unique character and topographic features, the City is developed with single family residences on large estate like lots where low impact development measures are regularly implemented. Therefore, the City has determined that there is no reasonable opportunity for regional or distributed BMPs within the City other than LID implemented on private property; therefore, the City of Rolling Hills has determined to implement the minimum control measures and utilize source control and institutional controls to meet the Permit requirements.

John L.Hunter & Associates (JLHA) and Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal to assist the Palos Verdes Peninsula Watershed Group with the development of an Enhanced Watershed Management Plan under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit) Order No. R4-2012-0175. The services described in this scope of work will be performed jointly by JLHA and Geosyntec, with John L. Hunter of JLHA assuming the role of primary representative and Kathleen McGowan of Geosyntec assuming the role of alternate representative. JLHA and Geosyntec also plan to team with experienced contractor, Kinnetic Laboratories, Inc. (KLI), for the monitoring components of this scope of work. FIRMS' QUALIFICATIONS JLHA and Geosyntec have both implemented numerous projects relating to the NPDES program, M54 permit, and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation demonstrating our ability to successfully complete the work laid out in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Both firms have extensive experience working on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and this experience and knowledge will be invaluable in the timely and cost-efficient development of an Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) for the Palos Verdes Peninsula EWMP Agencies. Below is a brief description of each firms' qualifications. Please see Appendix C for detailed project descriptions and references. A. JOHN L. HUNTER&ASSOCIATES John L. Hunter and Associates has considerable experience assisting municipalities with NPDES MS4 permit (stormwater) compliance programs and has had continuing contracts with clients for the administration of environmental programs since 1985. JLHA is currently implementing NPDES MS4 programs for 20 cities in a tri-county area with populations ranging from 5,000 to 140,000. Land uses in these areas vary from highly industrialized to commercial, residential and semi-rural. JLHA has been providing NPDES M54 stormwater services to the Palos Verdes Peninsula since 1994. JLHA provides NPDES services to multiple cities in the following watersheds: • Santa Monica Bay • Los Angeles River • Ballona Creek Dominguez Channel Santa Arta River Anaheim Bay/Huntington Harbor San Gabriel River H-105 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program.Proposal JLHA currently provides stormwater services to agencies located within the following watersheds and subwatersheds: Watershed Subwatersheds and Tributaries EWNCEMP�' WO X�IWMIOMMC�ittMNKNNI N 0 Santa Monica Bay Ballona Creek Beaches Dominguez Channel/LA Harbor Dominguez Channel Greater LA Harbor Machado Lake Los Angeles River Estuary Reach 1 Reach 2 Compton Creek Rio Hondo .......... San Gabriel River Estuary Reach 1,2,4,5 Coyote Creek San Jose Creek Walnut Creek Santa Ana River Middle San Antonio Creek ,B Bear Lake ........... ................. ..... Los Cerritos Channel Anaheim Ba/Huntington Harbor In addition to NPDES MS4 permit implementation activities,JLHA has participated in the drafting and implementation of numerous TMDL Implementation Plans, including the Santa Monica Bay Bacteria J7, the Machado Lake Trash and Nutrient TMI)Ls, and the Los Angeles River Metals and Trash TMI)Ls. B. GEOSYNTEC CONSULTANTS Geosyntec Consultants is an employee-owned company with offices throughout the United States, including local offices in Los Angeles and Huntington Beach. Geosyntec works with public and private sector clients to address complex problems involving the environment,natural resources, and civil infrastructure. Geosyntec understands the business of local government and the daily demands of strict accountability, tight budgets, deadlines, and answering to a diverse range of constituents. Geosyntec has served municipalities and local/regional agencies throughout the United States since its founding in 1983 by providing services in stormwater quality planning, water 0 H-106 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal resources, environmental consulting, and engineering design and construction management. Geosyntec is known for its innovative work in stormwater and surface water quality management, including TMDL studies and.implementation plans, specifically in the Los Angeles region, technical guidance manuals, including BMP and LID manuals; hydromodification assessments and mitigations;BMP design and assessment; strategic monitoring support; adaptive management; development of construction, industrial, and municipal NPDES compliance programs; and erosion and sediment control. Within the California stormwater practice, Geosyntec frequently leads state-of-the-practice workshops on stormwater management, NPDES requirements, erosion and sediment control, and regulatory relief strategies. Geosyntec recently completed a study for Ventura County on the feasibility of meeting low nutrient limits for submittal to USEPA. Geosyntec is also the author of the RWQCB-approved SBPAT model. Geosyntec has developed and presented in-depth analyses of both WMMS and SBPAT, the two Regional Board approved models for use in the Reasonable Assurance Analysis .requirement of the MS4 permit. Geosyntec's project team includes staff who have coordinated closely with Courity staff to review and troubleshoot WMMS as well as staff who developed SBPAT. Because Geosyntec has executed and investigated both models already, its staff is uniquely able to objectively and comprehensively evaluate and implement both RAA models. C. KINNETIC LABORATORIES Mr, Stevenson, principal at Kinnetic Laboratories, has over 35 years of experience working on applied problems in water quality and ecology. He was involved in the desigi-t and implementation of the San Jose/Santa Clara and Alameda stormwater monitoring programs, which were the first programs in the State and served as the template for subsequent MS4 programs in California. He has been instrumental in the development and application of quality control guidance materials for stormwater monitoring in Califorriia. He has over 20 years of experience in stormwater monitoring both for purposes of characterization and BMP performance evaluation. This includes 12 years of work on the City of Long Beach program, which has provided one of the largest,high quality data sets available. The high quality of this data set allowed for development of metals translators for the Los Cerritos Channel TMDL that led to substantial improvements in Waste Load Allocations that will further translate to major cost reductions and more targeted BMIrs. Kirmetic Laboratories, Inc. has provided environmental science services to ilidustry, government, engineering and environmental firms on applied projects for the past 40 —0 H-107 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal years. They have extensive stormwater and BMP monitoring experience developed through groundbreaking work conducted over the past 20-25 years. They have designed and implemented more than 20 major stormwater/watershed projects throughout California, Alaska and Hawaii. on H-108 Knifmn�ed 14.der4ha3 hiuna�;enu;rt 4"rn�;¢am P.mta..al I.

H-115 Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal H. GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4 permit) Order No. R4-2012-0175, which became effective on December 28, 2012, allows permittees the flexibility to develop EWMPs to customize their stormwater management programs through integrated regional planning. The goal of an EWMP is to prioritize water quality issues, evaluate opportunities for collaborative multi-benefit regional projects, and identify additional watershed control measures that will achieve applicable water quality based effluent limitations (WQBELs) and Receiving Water Limitations (RWLs). During the April 25th, 2013 meeting of the Palos Verdes Peninsula EWMP Group Technical Committee (Peninsula EWMP Agencies), a decision was made to prepare an EWMP on a 30-month schedule. Due to its unique character and features, the City of Rolling Hills will not be participating in the Peninsula Agencies EWMP; however it will be participating in a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (CIMP) along with the other Peninsula Agencies. We understand that in order to meet the City of Rolling Hills' earlier deadline for submittal of an Integrated Monitoring Program that the CIMP may need to be prepared by the December 28, 2013 deadline, and the Team is prepared to meet that deadline if relief is not provided by LARWQCB staff. The existing TMDL monitoring plans for Santa Monica Bay and Machado Lake will be leveraged in developing the CIMP. The Team proposes to build on previous years' efforts, which included many tasks required by the EWMP to prepare an EWMP Work Plan, including the CIMP, for submittal to the Regional Board by June 28, 201.4. Based on the EWMP Work Plan, the Team will develop a final Draft EWMP for submittal to the Regional Board by June 28, 2015 as specified in the NPDES MS4 Permit. Implementation, unless specifically directed by the Peninsula EWMP Agencies, is not included in this scope of work. There are currently eight TMDLs in effect for the Peninsula EWMP Agencies in the Santa Monica Bay, Dominguez Channel, and Greater Los Angeles Harbor sub- watersheds. Significant work has already occurred on the Santa Monica Bay bacteria TMDL and the Machado Lake TMDLs. The Team will rely on these previous TMDL Implementation Plans and significantly expand the EWMP to include: • Characterization and prioritization of water quality issues, • Identification of strategies and control measures, • Reasonable Assurance Analysis (computer modeling) H-116 = Enhanced Watershed Management Progrant Proposal 0 A Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan The EWMP plan being developed under this Scope of Work will be a "living" document that can and should be modified as future monitoring data become available and the program develops following a strategy of adaptive management. The Team will develop a process for the Peninsula Agencies to use when reviewing and updating the EWMP Plan. Specific tasks for this scope of work are described in the following section. A schedule outlining task start and completion dates can be seen in Appendix D. H-117 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal III. SPECIFIC TASKS 1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT, CORRDINATION AND MEETINGS This task includes project management services including schedule and budget oversight, and assurance of timely completion of all project deliverables. In addition regular meetings and communications between Consultant, Peninsula EWMP Agencies, the Regional Board, and other stakeholders will be critical during the preparation of the EWMP. Deliverables: • Preparation and monthly updates of project schedule • Schedule and prepare agenda and minutes for fifteen (15) monthly regular meetings, plus an additional eight (8) regular meetings with the Peninsula EWMP Agencies and CIMP Agencies • Schedule, lead, and prepare agenda and minutes for three (3) special meetings with the Peninsula Agencies and interested stakeholders • Attend and participate in four (4)Technical Advisory Committee meetings • Attend and participate in six (6) meetings with Regional Board staff and other interested stakeholders 2. ENHANCED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WORK PLAN Permittees electing to develop an EWMP are required to submit a Work Plan guiding the development of the EWMP to the Regional Board. For this task, the Team will outline a detailed schedule and strategy for completion of the Peninsula Agencies EWMP, including milestones consistent with the Peninsula Agencies Notice of Intent (NOI), which was submitted to the Regional Board in June 2013. In the case that intended milestones are found to be unfeasible, the Team will propose alternative milestones for consideration by the Agencies and the Regional Board. All relevant work products developed pursuant to TMDL implementation will be integrated into the Work Plan, which will be divided into chapters organized by Watershed Management Area (WMA). Team members are all very familiar with Peninsula Agencies TMDL programs,which will allow for streamlined integration of these elements. The Team's approach will be organized into the following sub-tasks outlined in the RFP: H-118 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal Sub Task 2.1 Identification of Water Quality Priorities One of the foundations of the MS4 permit is the identification and prioritization of water quality goals to be addressed by the WMPs and EWMPs. This task is critical to focus the development of the Peninsula Agencies EWMP, and establish a strategy for achieving EWMP goals in the most effective manner possible. The Team will first characterize existing water quality in the three WMAs that the Peninsula Agencies are a part of(Santa Monica Bay (J7) WMA, Machado Lake WMA, and Greater Los Angeles Harbor). This will include the compilation and evaluation of relevant water quality datasets going back at least ten (10) years. Using this data, along with information from TMDLs and 303(d) listings, the Team will characterize storm and non-stormwater discharges from the MS4 and receiving water quality, and identify water quality priorities considering applicable WQBELs and RWLs, 303(d) listings, and any known exceedances of water quality objectives. Pollutant-waterbody combinations identified through the characterization described above will be classified according to the categories outlined in Section V1. C of the MS4 permit(Category 1: Highest Priority, Category 2: High Priority, Category 3: Medium Priority), and pollutants in the same class as those addressed by a TMDL will be identified. The Team will conduct a source assessment for those water body-pollutant combinations classified as Category 1-3 using available literature, data, and information gathered by the Peninsula Agencies through existing stormwater programs, and will prioritize a sequence for addressing sources considering applicable TMDL deadlines and receiving water quality goals. Deliverable: The Team will prepare a draft memorandum characterizing water quality conditions within each WMA to be submitted ............................. to the Peninsula EWMP Agencies in December Objectives of Watershed Control 2013. Measures must include: • Prevention and elin-dnation of Sub Task 2.2 Summary of Existing and non-stormwater discharges that Potential Control Measures contribute pollutants to the MS4, • Implementation of controls The exercise of identifying and prioritizing necessary to achieve all applicable water quality goals is intended to inform the WQBELs and RWLs,and selection of Watershed Control Measures • Assurance that discharges from (WCMs)to be implemented individually and the MS4 do not cause or collectively to address water quality goals in contribute to exceedances of RWLs the EWMP. Existing WCMs, including Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) as defined in Section Vl.D of the MS4 permit, and other BMPs already in place in the WMAs will be compiled —M H-119 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal and evaluated, and areas of potential modification to better focus resources in order to meet the goals of the EWMP will be identified. The Team will develop a process template for summarizing existing MCMs, identifying, and justifying areas for modification. In addition, a review and summary of existing regional planning efforts (including TMDLs, and IRWMPs), and proposed regional projects will be conducted for inclusion in the EWMP. The Team, in consultation with the Peninsula Agencies, will identify potential regional projects that might feasibly retain (i) all non stormwater runoff and (ii) all stormwater runoff from the 851h percentile 24-hour storm event for the drainage area tributary to the project, and develop an approach for identifying and evaluating additional regional projects. The performance of regional control measures, including distributed structural and non-structural control measures, in reducing flows and pollutant loading will also be evaluated. Deliverables: The Team will prepare a draft memorandum characterizing existing control measures within the Peninsula EWMP Agencies, and template for evaluating opportunities for customization of MCMs, for submittal to the Agencies in December 2013. In addition, the Team will prepare a draft memorandum summarizing regional projects, planning efforts, control measures, and performance of structural and non- structural control measures for submittal to the Peninsula Agencies in January 2014. Sub Task 2.3 Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA) Approach The Peninsula Cities are essentially in An evaluation of reasonable assurance will compliance with the Santa Monica Bay be a critical element of the Peninsula Beaches Bacteria TMDLs as evidenced by Agencies' EWMP.While the term is ongoing receiving water monitoring. The somewhat new, the required analyses are not RAA focus therefore will likely be on the and Geosyntec will rely on experience more difficult TMDL objectives to meet, developing Reasonable Assurance Analysis the Machado Lake wet-weather nutrient (RAA) approaches in a wide variety of objectives(0.1 mg/L Total P and 1 mg/L watershed conditions, to develop an Total N). WMMS has been optimized for appropriate RAA approach for the Peninsula nutrients and metals which are relevant to Watersheds within the context of Peninsula Machado Lake and LA Harbor, Agency specific compliance risk tolerances. respectively Geosyntec will develop an RAA approach leveraging previous studies (by Geosyntec and others) which have: 1) set target pollutant load reductions, 2) assessed identified BMP project performance, and 3) evaluated implementation performance. We understand that the County developed the WMMS model in part to support the RAA process, and therefore Geosyntec has invested considerable internal resources to understanding the functionality, assumptions, and underlying logic of WMMS. H-120 MEMME lagemoit Prograni Proposa.1 _�,nhanced Watenhed Man,� Consistent with the RFP, Geosyntec will conduct the following subtask activities: Subtask 2.3.1. Geosyntec will review and present to the Peninsula Agencies an assessment of the WMMS stormwater quality model and determine whether updates are needed to perform the RAA for Peninsula Watershed areas, including an assessment of pollutants modeled, and receiving water quality modeling. Geosyntec has already completed extensive review of the WMMS model capabilities as they pertain to the RAA process, resulting in EWMP cost savings. In addition, Geosyntec has preliminarily reviewed the Peninsula area for optimization and compliance points, and preliminary indications that supplemental analyses (reviewing monitoring data or additional WMMS calibration may be required. Geosyntec will describe the proposed modeling process for evaluating and selecting WCMs. As with previously conducted TMDL implementation and load reduction plans, WCMs will include a suite of existing and proposed: programmatic and source control ------- measures as reflected in customized MCMs, distributed relatively small structural controls, and Figure L Subcatchments and compliance y)oints regional/centralized structural controls. It currently included in WMMS is critical to appropriately describe the process for representing these WCMs in the modeling system and quantifying their effectiveness, and to avoid false precision. Geosyntec has considered several approaches for selecting and evaluating watershed control measures, from those that give emphasis to non-structural controls, to those that provide a transparent and comprehensive methodology for siting and selecting structural controls.jurisdictional boundaries will also be addressed within the RAA framework. The process we propose will be based on input we receive regarding the needs and preferences of the Peninsula agencies. Subtask 2.3.2. Geosyntec will describe how the RAA analysis will demonstrate the water quality benefits and the effects of WCMs on stormwater quality, non-stormwater quality, and receiving water quality. This is critical as the effects of BMPs will be compared to receiving water limitations, TMDL waste load allocations, WQBELs and other applicable targets at the watershed and jurisdictional scale. Subtask 2.3.3. With TMDL implementation schedules and interim deadlines, sequencing is critical. Geosyntec will outline the process for creating a BMP H-121 no= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal implementation sequence/schedule/timeline based on final modeled BMP scenario(s). Consideration will be made for watershed control measures that have already been planned, scheduled., and/or implemented by Peninsula agencies, e.g., the Chandler Quarry/Landfill regional infiltration basin, San Ramon Canyon project and Model Equestrian Center. Sub Task 2.4 Prepare Draft and Final EWMP Work Plan The EWMP Work Plan will outline a cost-effective approach for developing a Peninsula Agencies EWMP that meets the objectives of the MS4 Permit. Comments received on each of the draft technical memoranda will be addressed and incorporated into the Draft and Final EWMP Work Plan. The Team will prepare a Draft EWMP Work Plan for the Peninsula Agencies to review and comment on in February 2014. A Final draft EWMP Work Plan will be developed, incorporating comments received from the Peninsula Agencies, and submitted to the Regional Board in June 2014. Deliverables: The Team will prepare a Draft EWMP Work Plan with a schedule and strategy to complete the EWMP Plan per the MS4 permit and Peninsula EWMP Agencies RFP, and submit six (6) double sided hard copies, and electronic copies (in Microsoft Word and PDF) to the Peninsula EWMP Agencies in February 2014. Upon receipt of comments on the Draft EWMP Work Plan, the Team will revise the document and resubmit the revised Draft EWMP Work Plan for review by the Peninsula Agencies in June 2014. A Final Draft EWMP Work Plan for submittal to the Regional Board will be submitted within two weeks of receipt of consolidated comments from the Peninsula agencies in order to meet the June 28, 2014 deadline. Sub Task 2.5 Outreach Specific to Work Plan Development The development of the Work Plan will benefit from outreach and input from community groups, nongovernmental organizations,water supply agencies, and other potential project partners and stakeholders to solicit input on its scope and approach. Up to four(4) meetings are assumed. In addition, the Team will compare the Work Plan with the proposed scope and budget for EWMP Plan development, identifying any significant deviations or revisions needed. The Team will prepare a draft memorandum outlining significant deviations from EWMP estimated scope and budget identified during Work Plan development for the Peninsula Agencies in June 2014. H-122 1AN= Enhanced Watershed,NJanagernent Program Proposal 3. COORDINATED INTEGRATED MONITORING PLAN The Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) of the MS4 Permit outlines a Characteristics of a well-designed cost effective Coordinated Integrated Monitoring significant suite of requirements. The Program: overarching purpose of the MRP is to assess ® chemical, physical, and biological impacts Minimum credible scope a Adaptive based on monitoring from the MS4 on receiving waters; assess results compliance with Receiving Water Limitations strategically considers future and Water Quality Based Effluent Limits; regulatory outcomes characterize pollutant loads;identify sources of pollutants in MS4 discharges; and measure and improve the effectiveness of controls. Five required elements are identified: receiving water monitoring, outfall monitoring of both stormwater and non-stormwater,new development/redevelopment effectiveness tracking, and regional/special studies. The MS4 Permit contains the most extensive monitoring requirements of any MS4 Permit the Team is aware of nationally. However, the opportunity is provided in the MS4 Permit to modify or eliminate elements of the MRP with appropriate justification through the development of a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (LIMP). The Team will identify those elements that should be modified or eliminated to create a monitoring plan that achieves the monitoring objectives of the MS4 Permit while not placing unnecessary burdens on the Peninsula Agencies. Sub Task 3.1 Outfall and Receiving Water Monitoring Approach A critical decision for the Peninsula Agencies is the approach taken to implement the receiving water and outfall monitoring elements. The key cost drivers for long-term implementation of both elements will be the frequency of the monitoring, the constituents monitored, and the spatial distribution of the monitoring (i.e.,how many locations). Public agencies have neither the resources nor the time to monitor all pollutants, in all places, at all times. The goal will be to limit, to the extent possible, the number of sites, samples, and constituents tested. The focus will be on establishing whether there is significant non-natural, non-stormwater flow, if there is an established issue with the pollutant in the watershed, if the MS4 could be a contributor of the pollutant, and if there are parameters in the receiving water that exceed the water quality objectives. The Scope of Work in the RFP provides a process to gather existing information needed to develop the monitoring approach----the Team's familiarity with the ongoing TMDL monitoring programs being implemented by the Peninsula Agencies (Machado Lake Nutrient TMDL and Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL) will allow this effort to be streamlined. The Team's approach to developing the outfall and receiving water —M H-123 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal monitoring programs will be to evaluate existing water quality data and monitoring locations in concert with the prioritization that will occur as part of the EWMP Work Plan development to focus efforts. The proposed approach is to focus on receiving water monitoring to first determine if there is a persistent water quality concern. Outfall monitoring will focus on pollutants where data sufficiently suggest MS4s may be causing or contributing to exceedances observed in the receiving waters. The approach will consider other ongoing efforts that could be integrated into the CIMP, such as the Coordinated Compliance Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters, which can be incorporated into the Peninsula CIMP by reference to address the Peninsula Agencies' responsibilities for TMDL and receiving water monitoring in the Greater Los Angeles Harbor. An important element of CIMP implementation is the non-stormwater outfall-based screening and monitoring plan. The development and implementation of this plan will drive subsequent monitoring and.source investigation efforts. The Team will give careful consideration to defining what constitutes an MS4 outfall and a significant non- stormwater discharge--recent communication with Regional Board staff has confirmed that natural flows from blue line streams may be excluded from non-stormwater discharges which require screening and monitoring. The Team will work closely with the Peninsula agencies to determine how to most efficiently implement monitoring, particularly the outfall monitoring requirements. The Peninsula agencies will need to decide whether outfalls will be sampled as individual jurisdictions (including at jurisdictional boundaries) or if outfalls discharging directly to receiving waters (some of which will have comingled flows) will be the focus. A tiered approach can be considered for these locations. The approach will consider how to integrate into the CIMP the Special Study #3 submitted by the County of Los Angeles for mass-based compliance with the Machado Lake Nutrient TMDL. Likewise the approach will consider how to integrate the proposed Machado Lake Toxics TMDL monitoring plans submitted by the Peninsula Agencies but not yet approved by Regional Board staff. The monitoring approach will also address how and to what degree Peninsula CIMP members plan to participate in the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition Regional Watershed Monitoring bioassessment program. Geosyntec is providing an expert panel member to the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition and so has the expertise to advise Peninsula Agencies appropriately. This approach recognizes the existence, sensitivities, and potential implications of South Coast California Monitoring Plan for Marine Protected Areas (August 2011) that will be applied to the designated Marine Protected Area along the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Its potential relevance to the CIMP will be examined as part of this effort. M H-124 IMIMEnhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal Deliverable: The Team will submit a draft memorandum describing the approach to meet all of the required monitoring elements to the Peninsula agencies in September 2013. Sub Task 3.2 Site Selection Some of the most challenging and costly monitoring requirements under the MS4 Permit are those associated with the stormwater and non-stormwater outfall monitoring. The Team understands the cost implications of carefully and efficiently selecting a limited number of monitoring sites to meet monitoring requirements while still collecting useful water quality data. Field and desktop surveys will be conducted by the Team to identify potential monitoring sites for Peninsula sub-watershed areas not previously studied. Outfall monitoring locations will be selected based on the amount and frequency of non-stormwater flow, existing TMDL monitoring locations, TMDL and MS4 Permit monitoring requirements, accessibility, and land use representativeness, among other factors. The scope of this subtask assumes that necessary GIS maps of the storm drain system for the Peninsula CIMP watershed areas are available, (i.e., this effort does not include GIS mapping of storm drain systems). Once selected, outfall locations will be displayed prominently on maps along with appropriate surface water bodies,watershed boundaries, land uses, and jurisdictional boundaries. In conjunction with the watershed priorities, these maps will be used to justify proposed modifications to the MS4 Permit and/or TMDL requirements to achieve the monitoring objectives of the MS4 Permit and TMDLs cost effectively. Our site selection process will link the ownership, geographical coordinates, physical description, photographs of outfalls, determination of significant non-stormwater discharges, and monitoring data. Our extensive familiarity with TMDLs on the Peninsula and receiving water monitoring requirements in the MS4 Permit enables our team to readily justify the representativeness of selected existing monitoring locations thereby reducing the associated long-term cost of added monitoring locations. Deliverable: Information on the proposed sampling sites will be summarized in a memorandum and submitted to the Peninsula Agencies for review in October 2013. The memorandum will include a description of the site selection process, photographs and GPS locations of each site, and associated maps. Sub Task 3.3 New Development and Re-development Effectiveness Tracking This task is an annual reporting requirement, but could be more effective and useful if designed to coordinate with the RAA model used in the EWMP. The Team will gather and compile information on existing systems used by the Peninsula Agencies to track New Development and Re-Development activities and associated post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs). Collected information fields will be evaluated and —M H-125 10MEnhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal we will identify missing information considered to be essential to measuring the effectiveness of post-construction ordinances both with respect to the MS4 Permit reporting requirements but also with respect to the RAA model. Based on this evaluation, our Team will provide the Peninsula agencies with a template for Peninsula CIMP members to summarize and standardize effectiveness tracking. Deliverable: Recommendations for reporting and data management protocols that will provide reliable systems to access, store, and input data and systems and to share tracking among the Permittees will be summarized in a memorandum to be provided in October 2013. Sub Task 3.4 Prepare Initial Draft and Revised Draft CIMP The CIMP will propose a cost-effective monitoring approach that meets the objectives of the MS4 Permit according to the process set forth in the RFP. Comments received on each of the draft memoranda discussed in Subtasks 7.1 through 7.3 will be addressed and incorporated into the Draft and Final CIMP. Deliverables: The Team will prepare an initial Draft CIMP for the Peninsula agencies to review and comment in November 2013. A revised Draft CIMP for submittal to the Regional Board will be submitted within two weeks of receipt of consolidated comments from the Peninsula Agencies in order to meet the December 28, 2013 deadline for the City of Rolling Hills as an agency not participating in a WMP or EWMP. Sub Task 3.5 Outreach Specific to CIMP Development CIMP preparation efforts will benefit from outreach and input from community groups, non-governmental organizations, water supply agencies and other potential project partners and stakeholders to solicit input on the scope and approach of the CIMP. Up to four (4) meetings are assumed. 4. ENHANCED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PLAN This task represents the analysis and integration of the information collected in Tasks 1 through 3, and preparation of a Draft EWMP plan for submittal to the Regional Board by the June 28, 2015 deadline. The EWMP plan will be guided by and incorporate all elements of the final EWMP Work Plan, including the CIMP. Any necessary revisions of the CIMP identified during the development of the EWMP will be proposed to the Peninsula Agencies and submitted to the Regional Board for approval as part of the Final CIMP which will also incorporate Regional Board's comments on the Draft CIMP. The Team will incorporate any comments received from the Regional Board following submittal of the draft EWMP Plan, and submit the final EWMP Plan within two (2) ME H-126 Enhanced Watershed Management Program,Proposal months of receiving any such comments. A process for evaluating and updating the EWMP on a two (2) year schedule will developed and included in the EWMP Plan. Sub Task 4.1 Finalize Approach to Addressing Waterbody-Pollutant Combinations Based on the water quality priorities identified in the Final EWMP Work Plan, the Team will develop compliance schedules (including interim numeric milestones),to be used to measure progress in achieving applicable WQBELs and RWLs, for the eight (8) TMDLs iri effect for the Peninsula Agencies, and for other waterbody-pollutant combinations identified as Highest, High, and Medium Priority. Compliance deadlines and interim milestones will be based on TMDL milestones and deadlines occurring within the permit term, and include additional interim milestones and final deadlines for achieving RWLs for those pollutants not addressed by a TMDL. Deliverable: The Team will prepare a draft memorandum outlining compliance schedules and interim milestones for each waterbody-pollutant combination identified in the EWMP Work Plan for submittal to the EWMP Agencies in August 2014. Sub Task 4.2 List of Regional Projects and Identification of WCMs Based on the list of potential regional project sites developed in the EWMP Work Plan, the Team will conduct a feasibility analysis for each project, including evaluation of regulatory issues and permitting, and. cost. This analysis will be used to develop a final list of recommended project sites for inclusion in the EWMP. The Team plans to leverage its knowledge of the Peninsula watersheds, and work closely with the Peninsula Agencies to streamline this process. For areas in the watershed that cannot be incorporated into a regional project, identification of distributed.structural and non-structural control measures to be implemented to achieve applicable WQBELs and RWLs will be based on the EWMP Work Plan evaluation of BMP performance, and current knowledge of technologies, approaches, and practices. The Team will work closely with the Peninsula Agencies to develop a strategy for implementing these measures in the most reasonable and cost effective manner. The flexibility to customize MCMs within a watershed to meet WQBELs and RWLs is another key component of the EWMP plan. The process for summarizing and identifying areas for modification developed in the EWMP Work Plan will be used to propose a program of customized actions within each category of MCM outlined in Section VI.D of the MS4 permit. Each modification to the requirements outlined in this section will be supported by information justifying these modifications. The Team's familiarity with Peninsula Agencies' current MCM programs will help to arrive at the most cost effective programs available to meet requirements. H-127 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal Deliverables:The Team will prepare a list identifying potential locations for regional EWMP sites and preliminary list of regional projects for initial consideration and feasibility analysis and submit a summary memorandum to the Peninsula Agencies EWMP Group in August 2014. In addition, the Team will prepare a draft memorandum describing the feasibility of identified regional EWMP projects and recommend projects for consideration, as well as propose WCMs and MCM customization based on the EWMP Work Plan and the RAA for submittal to the Peninsula Agencies EWMP Group in December 2014. Sub Task 4.3 Conduct RAA Utilizing the process outlined in the Work Plan the Geosyntec Team will: a) prepare a quantitative analysis or modeling tool to represent hydrology,hydraulics, stormwater quality, non-stormwater quality, and receiving water quality before and after implementation of watershed control measures;b) summarize MCMs, specific modifications to customize MCMs proposed by the Peninsula agencies, and information supporting modifications to MCMs provided by Peninsula agencies; c) for the portion of the watershed that cannot be addressed with regional projects, identify additional structural and nonstructural control measures to achieve RAA requirements and incorporate appropriate BMP strategies; and d) conduct an RAA to demonstrate that the identified measures will achieve applicable WQBELs and/or RWLs. The results from this subtask and portions of Subtask 4.3 will be consolidated into a Task memorandum. Arriving at an implementation plan that provides reasonable assurance to achieve applicable WQBELs and/or RWLs can be an iterative process. To reduce costs associated with iteration, it is sometimes best to quantify and consider water quality needs after the implementation of all low cost (non-structural controls and facility retrofits) measures to frame higher-cost BMP identification processes. We will evaluate existing and proposed non-structural BMPs and quantify the pollutant load reductions associated with these measures to provide the Peninsula Agencies maximum credit for these programs before considering the need for additional structural BMPs. The actual final approach will be determined through the development of the EWMP Work Plan. The following flowchart illustrates a potential approach, subject to confirmation upon completion of the Work Plan, and assumes WMMS primarily is used to conduct the RAA.

Sub Task 4.4 Develop Project Schedules and Cost Estimates Develop cost estimates and recommended schedules for the implementation of control measures, accounting for TMDL compliance schedules, identified water quality priorities, and any other compliance schedules proposed in EWMP Work Plan. Deliverable; The Team will prepare a draft memorandum summarizing the costs of implementing proposed WCMs, a proposed schedule and sequencing of WCMs, responsibilities for each permittee, and recommended time frame for initiating projects, non-structural solutions, and programs to achieve water quality goals in line with proposed compliance schedules. Sub Task 4.5 Prepare Draft and Final EWMP Plan The EWMP Plan will propose a cost-effective, customized regional stormwater management program that meets the objectives of the MS4 Permit. Comments received on each of the draft memoranda discussed in Subtasks 4.1 through 4.4 will be addressed and incorporated into the Draft and Final EWMP Plan, The Team will prepare a Draft EWMP Plan for the Peninsula Agencies to review and comment on in June 2015, A _M H-129 ME= Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal. Final EWMP Plan for submittal to the Regional Board will be submitted within two weeks of receipt of consolidated comments from the Peninsula agencies in order to meet the June 28,2015 deadline. Deliverables: The Team will prepare a Draft EWMP Plan per the MS4 permit and Peninsula EWMP Agencies REP, and submit six (6) double-sided hard copies, and electronic copies (in Microsoft Word and PDF) to the Peninsula EWMP Agencies in February 2015. Upon receipt of comments on the Draft EWMP Plan, the Team will revise the document and resubmit the revised Draft EWMP Work Plan for review by the Peninsula Agencies in June 2015. A Final Draft EWMP Work Plan for submittal to the Regional Board will be submitted within two weeks of receipt of consolidated comments from the Peninsula agencies in order to meet the June 28,2015 deadline. The Team will respond to any comments from the Regional Board upon submittal of the Draft EWMP Plan, and revise the document as necessary within two (2) months of receipt of comments. The final EWMP Plan incorporating Regional Board comments is anticipated be delivered to the Peninsula EWMP Agencies and the Regional Board in January 2016. As the EWMP plan is intended to be a"living document", the Consultant will develop and incorporate a process for evaluating the effectiveness of the EWMP plan every two (2)years, and modifying the control measures based on this evaluation. Sub Task 4.6 Outreach Specific to EWMP Plan Development EWMP preparation efforts will benefit from outreach and input from community groups, non-governmental organizations, water supply agencies and other potential project partners and stakeholders to solicit input on the scope and approach of the EWMP plan. Up to four (4) meetings are assumed.

Geosyntec's Scope of Services Geosyntec has applied a previously-developed Structural BMl'Prioritization Methodology to assist in the identification of priority areas and potential structural retrofit BMP implementation opportunities for inclusion in the CLRP. The Methodology first identifies or screens areas based on need(i.e.,pollutant load generation and downstream impairments)and then identifies opportunities for BMP implementation.''the Methodology uses a Geosyntec-developed GIS-based decision support tool called the Structural BMP Prioritization and Analysis Tool(SBPAT, www.sbpat.net).Geosyntec's specific tasks included.: 1)compiling watershed data in order to develop baseline watershed characteristics,2) identifying priority subwatersheds/catchments for structural.BMP implementation based on pollutant loading potential,3)identifying potential BMP sites within high priority catchments,4)evaluating and selecting potential BMPs based on factors such as cost,maintenance, and effectiveness for the pollutants of concern, and.,S)developing a cost effective monitoring plan that meets TMDL requirements and assesses the effectiveness of CLRP implementation. In addition,Geosyntec evaluated CLRP alternatives using a water duality modeling component of SBPAT to quantify the,range of potential TMDL compliance outcomes based on:implementation of the alternatives.A quantitative assessment of H-162 11MMUE.-banced Watershed Maxwgeinent Program Proposal pollutants(bacteria),loads,and concentrations was critical in developing an implementable and fundable plan, Notable Accomplishments Geosyntec worked with multiple stakeholder agencies to develop dry and wet-weather bacteria management strategies that ultimately will achieve TMDL compliance while minimizing unnecessary implementation costs.The CLRP incorporates Multiple approaches; water quality analytical methods; special studies that inform the regulatory targets;and techr-rical,physical and procedural methods in a comprehensive, technically-based,manner to achieve the water quality goals contained in the'I'MDL.

The objectives of the project are to implement the Source Control and Structural BMP aspects of Phase 1 of the J 5/6 SMBBB'I'MDL Implementation Plan which focuses onf4igh Priority Drainage Areas#1 (tributary area to 2801 Street outfall)and#2(tributary area to lierondo outfall). Geosyntec's Scope of Services (,',cosyntec conducted the following efforts: 1)identification and control of dry-weather bacteria sources, 2)siting and design of structural BMPs,3)evaluation of the potential for sewer infrastructure to contribute to pollution levels, and 4)development of project concepts and evaluation of potential effectiveness using advanced hydrologic modeling.Sources of dry weather bacteria were investigated through a comprehensive dry-weather flow reconnaissance and sampling procedure which involved the sampling of over three dry-weather periods.The first round of sampling was a comprehensive evaluation of both watersheds whereas the second and third events were designed to focus on hot-spots identified during previous events.The remaining scope involved dry-weather monitoring to inform source control recommendations and implementation. H-163 Enhanced Watershed Management Program Proposal Geosyntec utilized the Structural BMP Planning and Assessment Tool (SBPAT),a GIS-based decision support tool,to identify and prioritize potential structural BMP projects,A number of viable sites for Client: City of Malibu Reference,Jennifer Brown,Sr,Environmental Programs Coordinator,510-456-2489 x275 g , jbrown@malibucity.org Services Provided: ✓ Draft TMDL Review and Comments • Beach monitoring data analysis Natural Source Exclusion Request `/%�/ � ✓ QMRA screening calculations Santa Monica Bay.Yooking toward Point Dunne from Broad Beach structural BMP implementation were identified and evaluated for physical constraints and feasibility related to implementation of infiltration BMPs.The remaining scope consists of site visits,BMP concept development and quantitative assessments of effectiveness relative to TMDL compliance.Furthermore,Geosyntec ruled out the influence of sewer infrastructure on bacteria concentrations at the shoreline through mapping of sewer infrastructure near potential pathways of transport to the shoreline at high priority outfalls and through the sampling of groundwater between the infrastructure and.shoreline using the direct push method. Geosyntec developed a number of project concepts,including regional structural BMP retrofit projects that utilize public parcels to mitigate bacteria loads to support project development and grant funding opportunities. Notable Accomplishments Geosyntec has ruled out salutary sewer infrastructure near the outfalls as a source of bacteria and has worked collaboratively with key staff from multiple agencies in a workshop environment to screen potential BMP opportunity sites for constraints. Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL Reopener and Natural Source Exclusion Support Malibu,California Project Objective The Santa Monica Bay(SMB)Beaches Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Loads(TMDLs)for wet and dry weather became effective in July 2003; these were the first bacteria TMDLs in the Los Angeles region to implement the reference watershed approach for Waste Load Allocation(WLA)development. For TMDL implementation plant-iting, the responsible parties and subwatersheds were separated into jurisdictional groups. Jurisdictional groups 1 and 4 include the less developed North SMB subwatersheds and include City of Malibu.(City),Los Angeles County Department of Public Works(LACDPW),and Caltrans. The SMB Bacteria TMDLs for wet and dry weather were reopened in March 2012 to reconsider various technical items. In response to this reopener,Geosyntec was retained by the City to review and comment on the draft revised TMDL Basin Plan Amendment and associated staff report. —M H-164 momEnhanced Watershed two anagenient Prograrn Proposal Geosyntec's Scope of Services Ge(rsyntec produced a comprehensive technical summary of available literature on natural sources of bacteria in coastal surface water environments(including recent risk assessment and epidemiology studies), and performed an extensive analysis of several years of north Santa Monica Bay beach monitoring data,including the reference beach(Leo Carrillo/Arroyo Sequit), Geosyntec developed an extensive comment letter for the City,suggesting revised wet and dry weather WLAs. Select comments addressed: the reference beach and critical year selection, the reference beach single sample exceedance rate analysis approach, the Natural Source Exclusion(NSE)alternative for lesser developed or higher water quality beaches that warrant such consideration,and the Geometric Mean calculation approach (averaging periods and non-detect assumptions). Following the TMDL adoption,Geosyntec continues to assist the City with a formal NSE request,which included a new proposed weight-of-evidence approach for NSE detennination and discussion of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment(QMRA),for Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff consideration. Geosyntec also performed site-specific screening-level QMRA calculations for the City using local available virus data to assess whether a full QMRA might have value. Notable Accomplishments Geosyntec was able to allocate significant resources on short notice to perform extensive review of literature and analysis of data,and prepare a high quality comment letter for RWQCB consideration. As a result of the reopener,winter dry weather allowable exceedance rates increased from 3% to 10%of samples,and the geometric mean averaging period increased from 30-day to 6-week. Our ongoing dialogue with RWQCB TMDL staff regarding the request for NSE at several of Malibu's beaches has the potential to set precedent in the State for setting site specific criteria for bacteria at recreational beaches, Malibu Creek Watershed Bacteria and Nutrient TMDL Implementation Plan Client: Ventura County Watershed Protection /� �� District Reference: Ewelina N4utkowska, Stormwater Program Manager,(805)645-1382, EweIina.Mutkowska@ventura.org Services Provided: V TMDL Implementation Plans V Compliance Monitoring Data Analysis V' Structural Retrofit BMP Planning Ventura County,California ✓ Estimation of BMP Costs and Benefits ............. H-165 EJEEEntranced Watershed 1\4.-age-e-t ProgranPoposat Project Objective Historic water quality monitoring throughout the Malibu Creek Watershed(MCW)has revealed high bacteria and nutrient concentrations,prompting the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDI.,$)by the Regional Water Quality Control Board(Regional Board)and the EPA. Bacteria and Nutrient TMDL-specified Waste Load Allocations(WLAs)are now incorporated into the County's MS4 NPDES permit as numeric effluent limits,The TMDL requires MS4 dischargers to submit an implementation plan for achieving compliance with the TMDL WLAs.Geosyntec was hired by the County to develop this plan for the County's responsibility area, which encompasses approximately 21,000 acres and represents approximately 30%of the total area in the MCW. Geosyntees Scope of Services Geosyntec conducted a detailed review of previous studies and available data to assess bacteria and nutrient sources within the County's jurisdiction. Geosyntec then performed a detailed GIS-based screening of County land uses and stormdrains,analyzed historic bacteria compliance monitoring data, and gathered site-specific information through a field reconnaissance visit.Based on this data, a compliance strategy was proposed involving phased implementation of nonstructural and structural BMPs along with bacteria source investigations to maximize the return on the County's TMDL compliance investment.A review of the County's existing nonstructural BMP programs led to recommended enhancements to a number of these Programs as well as new nonstructural BMP programs including equestrian source control and LID incentives for commercial and residential areas.Geosyntec evaluated structural retrofit opportunities using established methodologies based on GIS-screening and, field reconnaissance. Nonstructural and structural BMP costs and benefits were quantified using the SBPAT model. Geosyntec also developed a Proposition 84 implementation grant concept proposal for a green street retrofit project and conducted field geotechnical investigations to evaluate infiltration feasibility at the proposed project sites. Geosyntec also was retained by the County to develop comments on the 2012 draft bacteria TMDL reopener and the precedent-setting 2013 draft EPA benthic and sediment'I'MDI-, including a white paper evaluating the technical feasibility of achieving the EPA's proposed nutrient limits in stormwater discharges. Notable Accomplishments In one of the first MS4 permit examples in the country where TMDL-based numeric limits for stormwater discharges became effective and enforceable,Geosyntec successfully worked with the County to develop a phased, cost-effective, adaptive management-based bacteria and nutrientTMDL implementation plan.
