A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WGR SOUTHWEST, INC., OF
LODI, FOR STORM WATER COMPLIANCE SERVICES FOR
WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY
WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) General
Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities Order (General Permit)
became effective July 1, 2015; and
WHEREAS, facilities subject to the General Permit are required to file and maintain
permit registration documents to the State Water Board, develop a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the facility, and identify best management practices to control the
quality of storm water runoff from the site; and
WHEREAS, facilities that contain all storm water runoff on-site are exempt from
coverage under the previous version of the General Permit for industrial storm water
discharges; and
WHEREAS, the current General Permit now includes a specific requirement to evaluate
potential discharge of runoff that results from a "maximum historic precipitation event"; and
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2015, Lodi City Council authorized the execution of Task
Order No. 37 with West Yost Associates, Inc., to analyze the impacts of the current General
Permit on White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility and to determine if the facility could
qualify for the exemption by containing all storm water runoff under the new "maximum historic
precipitation event" requirements; and
WHEREAS, the analysis determined that in order to qualify to file for the exemption, the
City would either need to construct permanent storm water improvements estimated to cost
between $750,000 and $1,000,000, or develop a SWPPP and perform the required monitoring
and reporting to comply with the General Permit requirements; and
WHEREAS, in comparing the cost to construct the permanent storm water facilities to
obtain exemption from the General Permit against the cost of compliance (approximately
$20,000 per year), staff recommends complying with the General Permit and performing the
additional monitoring and sampling, as well as monthly inspections, required as part of permit
coverage; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional
Services Agreement with WGR Southwest, Inc., of Lodi, for storm water compliance services for
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, in the amount of $55,736.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with
WGR Southwest, Inc., of Lodi, California, for storm water compliance services for White Slough
Water Pollution Control Facility, in an amount not to exceed $55,736.
