SUMMARY
On May 08, 2013, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted a new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Draining the Watersheds within the San Diego Region, Order No. R9-2013-0001 ("MS4 Permit"). In February 2015, the MS4 Permit was amended by Order R9-2015-0001 and Order R9-2015-0100 on November 18, 2015. The MS4 Permit regulates discharges to storm drain systems within 18 municipalities in San Diego County, the County of San Diego, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, and the San Diego Unified Port District, as well as 13 Copermittees in Orange County and 5 Copermittees in Riverside County (collectively referred to as "Copermittees").
The Development Planning Component of the MS4 Permit requires each Copermittee to updates its local Best Management Practices (BMP) Design Manual pursuant to Provision F.2.b. For the City to maintain compliance with the MS4 Permit, it is necessary that the City Council approve the City of Chula Vista BMP Design Manual, dated December 2015 ("BMP Design Manual") and authorize the City Engineer to approve future updates on behalf of the City.
