AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Resolution Setting Storm Drainage
Permit Compliance Inspection Fees for Wet Season Construction Inspection
MEETING DATE: May 2,2007 (Continued from April 18,2007)
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution setting
Storm Drainage Permit Compliance Inspection Fees for wet season
construction inspection.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The State Water Resource Control Board issued to the City of Lodi
PermitWDID No. 5B39NP00028 that governs the discharge of
storm water runoff. A condition of that permit requires that regular
wet season inspections of construction site best management
practices (BMP's) be performed for all regulated construction sites. Construction activities can alter natural
drainage patterns and affect runoff water quality, adding pollutants to the areas river and delta
environments. BMP's fall into two categories: erosion and sediment control (i.e., straw mulch, dikes,
swales, and bank stabilization) and source control or "good housekeeping practices" (i.e., water
conservation practices, vehicle cleaning, concrete washout control, and stockpile covers). The inspections
will take place over the wet season that is defined as October 1 through April 15. The State's initial review
of our inspections reports indication that more frequent inspections per project are required and this
exceeds the City's ability to meet the State's requirements without the addition of inspectors.
Storm Drainage Permit Compliance Inspections are a new service to be provided by the City. Staff
recommends that the City Council adopt these new fees that would be collected at the time of approval of
an Improvement Agreements and/or at issuance of a Building Permit. The fee per site will vary
depending upon the time and length of the construction period. The first monthly construction inspection
would include additional effort to document existing conditions and to set up the Inspection Log Report.
Subsequent monthly inspections would continue until the completion of construction and could span
more than one construction season. The following fee structure is recommended.
1. First Monthly Construction Inspection $156 each
2. Subsequent Monthly Construction Inspection $119 each
The fee structure is based upon the inspection proposal provided by WGR Southwest, Inc. At a
subsequent Council meeting, staff will request City Council approval of a professional services
agreement with WGR Southwest, Inc., to perform the required inspections. The proposed fees include a
25% markup to cover administrative costs of the City.
