BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council, at its meeting of April 18, 2001, adopted a resolution supporting
the CALFED grant application for a Lower Mokelumne River watershed education
project focusing on educating students and the public on stormdrain dumping and
other related issues. The Public Works Department sponsored a Lodi Storm
System and Mokelumne River Citizen Monitoring Project and is continuing to budget this project for a second year as
part of an educational program to satisfy portions of the upcoming storm system National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. The 2000/01 funding of the Lodi Storm System and Mokelumne River
Citizen Monitoring Project was also part of an agreement, as approved by City Council, with the Regional Water
Quality Control Board in settling a fine for the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. The City's contribution to
the proposed CALFED funded project would consist of $13,000 in the 2001/02 Water/Wastewater budget, and
services (Le., City staff time and use of buildings and equipment).
CALFED has approved the above proposal submitted by the City of Lodi. The projects the Public Works Department,
Parks Department and the Lodi Lake Docents proposed included: additional equipment for monitoring storm drains
and the river, an educational mural at Lodi Lake depicting the Lower Mokelumne River watershed and Lodi's
interaction, outside educational consultants, outside laboratory testing, continuation of partnering with local high
schools for senior projects, educational materials for the Discovery Center at Lodi Lake, environmental review and
conceptual design for additions/modifications to the Discovery Center, and educational materials for the community.
The project may partner with other programs conducting related projects.
FUNDING: The matching money for this project is included in the Wastewater operating budget.
