1.0 Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
System Permit (MS4 Permit) Order No. R4-2012-0175 establishes the waste discharge
requirements for stormwater and nonstormwater discharges within the watersheds of
Los Angeles County. 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.qov/losangeles/waterissues/programs/stormwater/municipal/
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.

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 (CIMP) along with the other Peninsula
EWMP agencies. The following permittees are entering into a Memorandum of
Understanding to jointly develop a CIMP:
• 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.

The City of Rolling Hills is not currently intending to participate in the EWMP, but will be
participating in the CI M P 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.
