Perris
On December 23, 2011 the City Attorney's Office issued a certification letter (See attached Exhibit 4) indicating that the City of Perris' current
Ordinance #1194 (P.M.C. 14.22 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE CONTROLS) provides City staff with legal authority to
enforce the provisions of NPDES Permit/Board Order R8-2010-0033. The current ordinance contains language that assisted developers with the
transition date from the San Jacinto permit to the original version of the WQMP that provided for final sunset dates for approved final WQMP's.
Over the course of the next few months City Staff will be requesting that City Council consider more specific and detailed provisions intended to
remove this out-of-date language. This will provide code enforcement officers with an updated version of all Board order numbers for any future
code action. Any approved revisions will be forwarded to the Regional Water Board during the 2016-17 Annual Report.

Provision No. VIII.F requires the Permittees to annually provide a report containing a review of their Stormwater
Ordinances and their ordinance enforcement programs in prohibiting the following types of discharges to the MS4.
12. Please summarize the effectiveness evaluation of your ordinance, ordinance enforcement practices with regard to prohibiting non-
exempt, non-stormwater discharges to the MS4.
Beaumont
Overall, the City's enforcement practices uphold the City's storm water ordinance. However, ordinance enforcement was by-and-large under the
City Code Enforcement during the 2015-2016 fiscal years, the enforcement staff was reduced by 67%. Public Works staff and consultants have
provided additional enforcement, but a process for recording compliance related enforcement actions was not formalized due to departmental
turnover and the previously mentioned staffing disruptions. Moving forward, a database will formally track the non-exempt, non-stormwater
discharges and to further evaluate the effectiveness of the City's MS-4 program. The database will also be used to centralize and track
documentation of stormwater compliance enforcement actions.
Calimesa
At this time, all ordinances are current and working. We will continue to evaluate our ordinance(s) and make any necessary revisions to ensure
proper enforcement and ultimately create more enforcement authority and overall compliance, as needed or required. Ultimately, our goal is to
provide public outreach and education to achieve the ultimate compliance.
Canyon Lake
After review of the City's Ordinance, the City has found the Ordinance to be effective and is not experiencing any difficulty with enforcement.
The City works with Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) and the Property Owners Association (POA) to educate and publicize
the procedure for residents who wish to drain pools and spas. Since all drains lead to the lake, the City does not allow any discharge into the
street, even if the water is neutralized and meets p fH levels set by the lake owner, EVMWD. In Cooperation with EVMWD, pamphlets are
available at City Hall and have been distributed to the public about improper disposal of pool and spa water into storm drains (Attachment #2).
The City currently implements this as one of our BMP measures. In addition to the public, Chapter 5 of the City's Municipal Code requires that
all businesses hold a business license issued by the City (Attachment #3). This application requires businesses involving NPDES compliance
identify such on the Business License Application before any licenses are approved (Attachment #4). Every business is also required to
acknowledge specific guidelines of the Municipal Code identifying mobile detailers (Attachment #5) and additional informational pamphlets
outlining storm drain pollution prevention are mailed with each license (Attachment #6).
Corona
a) For the 2013-14 reporting year, Public Works Department updated the Storm Water Quality Ordinance in order to ensure it reflected the
latest Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) provisions and definitions per the Permit. The updated Ordinance (No. 3164) was approved
at the March 19, 2014 City Council meeting.
b) The MS4 Permit requires developing an inventory and mapping of our Outfalls in preparation for implementation of the revised Illicit
Connection/Illicit Discharge (IC/ID) program incorporated into the County's Consolidated Monitoring Program (CMP). Additionally, the
IC/ID monitoring components require Permittees to develop a schedule to conduct and implement systematic investigations of Outfalls using
field indicators to identify, track and implement corrective measures for all illegal discharges. These activities have been completed within
this permit term and documented in last year's report.
c) The City of Corona was a co-participant in the County Health Department administered "Compliance Assistance Program" and performed
follow-up inspections on facilities with potential illicit discharges and ordinance violations. The CAP is no longer active effective December
31, 2014; however, the City continues with its inspection program adhering to the Permit requirements.
Table 3-1 – Legal Authority
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 3 – Legal Authority Page 3-33
d) The City of Corona has staff members devoted to providing prompt follow-up to telephone calls and complaints concerning illicit discharges
and/or improper disposal of pollutants into storm drain facilities.
e) The City uses a SeeClickFix application (www.seeclickfix.com/corona) which enables community members (residents and businesses) to
report illegal dumping from an iphone, Android, Blackberry, or a desktop browser. By taking a picture, describing the situation, and allowing
the application to automatically log the phone's GPS position, the request is sent to the correct City department to get each issue resolved fast
and efficiently.
f) Maintenance Services, Department of Water and Power, Code Enforcement, Fire and Public Works departments work together to respond to
violation events. The NPDES Section follows up on all events to ensure proper notification and reporting requirements are followed as
specified in the DAMP. Enforcement depends on the severity of the violation and may require immediate containment and clean up, verbal
warnings, notices of violation, recovery of costs, and public education to the violator including handing out public education materials.
g) City field staff is trained on the City's storm water ordinance and what constitutes a non-storm water discharge or illicit connection and how
to report to their supervisors so that they can be investigated.
h) Staff may issue a Notice of Violation specifically for NPDES Ordinance violations. The NOV form is tailored to identify the specific
municipal code violation and written corrective action(s) required. It is a tri-ply form in which the violator acknowledges receipt of the
correction. Seven NOVs were issued this reporting year; the sites were brought into compliance.
Eastvale
The City's stormwater ordinance provides the City with the right-to-inspect any premises, grounds, facilities, or structures for which compliance
is required by the ordinance (City Municipal Code, Section 14.12.100 - Attachment B). The City's stormwater ordinance also provides the City
with the authority to revoke and/or suspend a permit which has both been issued and conditioned for compliance with the stormwater ordinance
or conditioned with the implementation of specific BMPs (City Municipal Code, Section 14.12.110 - Attachment B).
Hemet Continued efforts to reduce water waste per the requirements of a 2015 SWRCB Conservation Order minimized non-stormwater discharges during
FY 2015-2016.
Jurupa Valley
The Ordinance has been highly effective in achieving compliance. We have successfully used it to prevent chlorinated pool discharges and
discharge paint cleaning water. It has helped with the compliance with the WQMP requirements for development. Developers are advised that
the Water Quality project guidelines are good for them as all development have to assist in treating runoff and the City has the authority to require
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 3 – Legal Authority Page 3-34
Lake Elsinore
1) The City's Ordinance 14.08 "Stormwater/Urban Runoff Management and Discharge Controls" has been certified by the City Attorney as providing
sufficient legal authority to achieve compliance in the event of an IC/ID.
2) City Ordinances are enforced both proactively and reactively. Proactive enforcement is evidenced through the project review process for new
development, significant redevelopment, condition use, temporary use, special event, and business licensing. A multi-departmental process provides
for conditioning to prevent code violations from the beginning.
3) In coordination with our business license permit process, City staff speaks with new businesses seeking a new license, change to an existing license
or renewal to educate them on good housekeeping principles and provides an over view of stormwater pollution prevention.
4) The City also reviews and approves all plans for connections to City MS4 facilities. Public Works maintenance staff receive annual training on
NPDES and maintenance crews report IC/IDs detected during maintenance or other routine activities
5) Reactive enforcement comes into play when notice of a discharge is received by staff. Staff takes the opportunity to educate the discharger and the
surrounding neighborhood. The City's enforcement procedures are outlined in the City's Local Implementation Plan at Section 3.4 and the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code at Chapter 1.16. Enforcement as a tool is useful in stopping or gaining compliance with regard to discharges and preventing
repeat occurrences.
6) Community Development, Public Works and Engineering Department Staff take an active role in responding and reporting IC/IDs.
7) The City contracts with a firm for inspection of applicable Commercial and Industrial Businesses in the City.
8) Participation in the Technical Advisory Committee Public Education Committee, dissemination of stormwater educational materials through City-
wide publications and at annual Pet Walk event and through the business license program. No changes in procedures are recommended at this time.
Menifee All of the above are addressed in the storm water ordinance.
Moreno
Valley
The Ordinance has overall been effective on prohibiting non-exempt, non-stormwater discharges to the MS4. As indicated above, the City's
enforcement practices ensure compliance.
Norco The City Ordinance appears to be effective based on available performance indicators.
Perris The City's new NPDES Ordinance #1194 was adopted in 2006 and has been highly successful in addressing required permit elements. Several City
departments have been committed to implementing Ordinance #1194 over the past ten years.
Riverside
The Riverside Municipal Code has enabled City departments to ensure that illegal discharges to the MS4 are prohibited. Various meetings and other
communication throughout the year serve to provide assurances that the municipal code is effective and provides City staffs with a mechanism whereby
they can enforce water quality provisions. The City of Riverside continually seeks ways to strengthen its ability to preserve water quality.
Riverside
County
The County's Stormwater Ordinance 754, in conjunction with other ordinances that relate to environmental protection, is supported by Ordinance 725
which establishes penalties and procedures for violation of Riverside County ordinances.
RCFC&WCD N/A However, the District has successfully coordinated IC/ID response and elimination among the Permittees.
San Jacinto
The City of San Jacinto routinely reviews the applicable ordinances as it relates to effectiveness. As a result of these reviews, the City enacted ordinance
09-16 on May 21, 2009 that was based on the Metropolitan Water District's model ordinance which prohibits excessive overspray and run-off of
irrigation water. The combination of this ordinance with the City's existing storm water requirements set forth in Chapter 13.44 of the City's municipal
code provides effective tools for the City to enforce its NPDES programs.
In addition, the City adopted additional water conservation programs in response to the Governor's Executive Orders. From May 2015 to May 2016,
the City routinely reduced water consumption by approximately 30% when compared to 2013 water usage.

PERMITTEE
Provision No. VIII.H of the MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to annually provide a report containing an evaluation of their
implementation and enforcement response procedures in controlling IC/IDs.
Please provide a summary of the findings of your evaluation and recommended corrective actions and schedules for implementation.
Beaumont
Enforcement actions were taken and/or recommended as described in the table above. Education is provided first to ensure that the public is
aware of the prohibition of illegal discharges and illicit connections to the MS4. Any public education provided is recorded in the database as
a verbal warning. Once a verbal warning is issued, any repeat violation at a given address will be logged into the database and a citation will
be issued. Progressive enforcement actions as required by the State MS 4-Permit and/or city LIP are taken as appropriate.
Calimesa
The City of Calimesa maintains adequate legal authority to control the discharge of Pollutants to the MS4. The City enforces applicable
municipal codes and ordinances accordingly and as required during an IC/ID event. The City annually reviews our Storm Water Ordinances
and enforcement programs prohibiting discharges to the MS4. The City is proactive with controlling IC/IDs and is prepared to take the
appropriate enforcement action as required, to gain proper compliance. Our goal is to provide public education with the intent of controlling
the contribution of Pollutants to the MS4, stop Pollutant discharge or threat of discharge and to require the use of BMP's to prevent or reduce
the discharge of Pollutants into MS4. We promote public educational outreach through speaking with community members, business owners
and property owners as well as providing informational handouts.
Canyon Lake
The City of Canyon Lake has proactively coordinated with the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association's Community Patrol, Marine Patrol,
and City Special Enforcement Officers. EVMWD also monitors discharge sites and performs periodic water quality tests. City staff takes every
available opportunity to educate the public on proper construction practices, pool and spa drainage procedures and other MS4 related issues.
Alum treatments were conducted in September 2013, February 2014, September 2014, May 2015, September 2015, May 2016 and September
2016.
Corona
As mentioned above, the City utilizes various enforcement tools to bring sites into compliance with our NPDES Ordinance. Most compliance
is achieved through verbal warnings issued at the time the violation is observed. Where a correction is required and the verbal warning has not
been effective, the City will issue an NOV. Seven Notices of Violations were issued this reporting year, which consequently brought the sites
into compliance.
Eastvale Proper staff has been trained in spotting and tracking IC/ID incidents. No corrective actions were needed after evaluating the program. Staff
will note and report and IC/ID situations to program manager for follow up and recording data.
Hemet The City of Hemet continues to document enforcement actions and provide educational materials to increase the awareness and understanding
of the City Stormwater Ordinance in an effort to change behavior and reduce the discharge of pollutants to the MS4.
Jurupa Valley
The City Maintenance Crews mitigate discharges from objects left in the public right-of-way by removal on a daily basis and also in response
to citizen calls. Removal of these items reduce pollutants into the MS4. The City has also hired additional Public Works staff which will increase
the programs effectiveness in removal of pollutants.
Table 3-1 – Legal Authority
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 3 – Legal Authority Page 3-36
Lake Elsinore
The City follows the enforcement procedures and guidelines outlined in the City's Local Implementation Plan at Section 3.4 and the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code at Chapter 1.16. Levels of enforcement in practical application begin with verbal / education of the discharger and
escalate up to imposition of citations/monetary penalties and criminal prosecution. All reports are responded to within 24 hours of receipt
which reinforces the sense of urgency the City gives to the potential pollution to our Lake and/or streams. The City responded to, investigated
and resolved 33 reports of illegal discharges. With all Fiscal Year 15/16 incidents resolved, it can be stated that the City's enforcement program
is very effective. The City focuses on voluntary compliance working with the discharger to resolution. The majority of the incidents are not
active discharges and require education on cleanup and preventative measures. The City works with the non-active discharger towards
compliance, escalating enforcement as needed. In cases of active discharge, compliance is immediate. The City employs a cooperative attitude
when resolving active discharges, working closely with the discharger, calling upon the Principal Permittee Hazmat team and Elsinore Valley
Municipal Water District as needed. The recommendations for improvement identified in the FY 14/15 Annual report have been met. Based on
the evaluation of the program, no changes are recommended at this time
Menifee
The City's storm water ordinance 15.01 defines illicit connections and illicit discharges (IC/IDs) to the storm drain system. Public Works and
Code Enforcement staff are trained on the storm water ordinance and on IC/ID response and reporting as outlined in the City's Local
Implementation Plan (LIP). The City implements various inspection programs (construction, industrial and commercial, municipal, structural
BMP) to control IC/IDs, monitors major outfalls, responds to public complaints, and works with contracted maintenance staff to ensure that
MS4 facilities are free of non-storm water discharges. Public Works staff responds to third-party complaints of IC/IDs to the storm drain
system. All violations are investigated and responsible parties are notified of the City's storm water requirements. All violations are tracked
in a database which documents violation type, enforcement, and resolution status. Enforcement depends on the nature of the violation and may
include the distribution of educational materials, verbal warnings, written warnings, Notices of Violation, or cost recovery for containment and
clean-up. The City's implementation and enforcement of the IC/ID program has been effective in 2015-16 and no corrective actions were
recommended since the last reporting period. As discussed above, IC/IDs to the City's MS4 are detected and investigated through various
programs, including industrial and commercial business inspections, fixed municipal facility inspections, post-construction structural BMP
inspections, construction site inspections, MS4 facility inspections, third-party complaints, and outfall monitoring. This year the City completed
113 full and partial industrial and commercial business inspections, and eight IC/IDs were either observed or reported during the inspection
program. The City is still working with three commercial businesses where an IC/ID was observed to implement appropriate BMPs to prevent
future discharges. No IC/IDs were observed during the City's annual municipal inspections at nine facilities. Additionally, no IC/IDs were
detected during the 22 full and partial structural BMP inspections (which included both City-owned BMPs and privately owned BMPs)
performed in 2015-16. No IC/IDs were reported to the City during catch basin cleaning in 2015-16. A total of nine complaints reporting an
illegal discharge to the storm drain system were received by the City in 2015-16. Attachment B is an IC/ID tracking spreadsheet for third-party
complaints and those IC/IDs associated with an inspection program with case details.
Moreno Valley
Pursuant to the most recent inspections of the City, no illegal connections were reported. The City receives daily reports for Underground
Service Alert (USA) and staff reviews the reports to determine if any proposed excavations will affect city storm drains or channels. Staff then
compares the reports to approved encroachment permits. If a permit was not authorized, a Stop Work Order is issued.
Norco Staff has reviewed Municipal Codes section 15.70.070 which covers IC/IDs and determined the section to be adequate.
Table 3-1 – Legal Authority
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 3 – Legal Authority Page 3-37
Perris
The City of Perris maintains a record of all enforcement actions taken against those suspected of violating the City's Stormwater Management
and Discharge Controls Ordinance, and continues to issue a variety of correction notices up to and including court citation for misdemeanor
violations. The enforcement procedures have been deemed adequate. The City will continue to review the IDDE (Illicit Discharge Detection
and Elimination) Guidance Manual for Program Development and Technical Assessments to consider additional methods intended to improve
upon its enforcement response procedures. The City will make this an annual practice of review, and any changes the City deems useful will be
incorporated into the City's LIP. Areas of review will include: interdepartmental communication/coordination, timely compliance, third party
inspection programs.
Riverside
Existing enforcement response procedures appear to be effective. City staffs from the involved departments regularly discuss issues encountered
in the field and appropriate enforcement responses. If new ideas or methods to improve City processes are identified, through such dialog then
City acts accordingly to implement the necessary changes and improve the stormwater program.
Riverside County
County Executive Office coordinates those IC/ID complaints received to various and appropriate county departments. Typically, complaints are
received from several different sources throughout the county; citizens, county staff, District staff, city staff, Regional Board staff, and
anonymous tips. Should hazardous materials be involved, the County will notify the Department of Environmental Health (DEH) for response.
Additionally, the DEH has staff on-call 24/7 to respond to complaints and field investigations distributed by Cal EMA. If a complaint is non-
hazardous, County Code Enforcement, potentially in conjunction with the Transportation Department Environmental Compliance staff will
respond. This process is functioning effectively as the County has not experienced deficiencies in implementing enforcement response procedures
in controlling IC/IDs. In FY15/16, Code Enforcement staff was provided with annual training that was more job-specific that led to greater
discussions and understanding of NPDES compliance. The Code Enforcement Department also conducted an "El Nino" outreach campaign that
successfully mitigated contaminated run off, erosion and flooding.
RCFC&WCD
Prior to the issuance of an encroachment permit, planned connections are reviewed by District staff; staff provide prompt responses to inquiries
and complaints from the public; maintenance crews report IC/IDs detected in facilities; as an additional measure, a patrol person inspects each
accessible flood control facility annually, and where IC/IDs are detected, efforts to identify and address the source are initiated in cooperation
with the Watershed Protection Division. All pipes are also inspected prior to acceptance for District maintenance to ensure that there are no illicit
connections. Further, unpermitted connections are investigated and the responsible party is notified in writing to either obtain a permit or remove
the connection. Lastly, complaint calls are coordinated by the Water Quality Compliance Section of the Watershed Protection Division. A
written log is maintained and each call is evaluated. Incidents located within Permittee (City or County) jurisdiction and within their respective
MS4 right-of-way are referred to the appropriate agency. Incidents within District right-of-way are verified then appropriate response and
notification actions are implemented, often in coordination with the local land use authority.
San Jacinto The City of San Jacinto has evaluated its enforcement and response procedures in controlling IC/IDs and has determined that they meet
the requirements of the permit. No corrective actions are required at this time.

Hemet
Since its adoption in April 2010, City of Hemet Landscaping and Irrigation Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 90, Article XLVIII) has
required that applicants for all new development projects provide a compliance letter to the planning department, public works department and
department of building and safety verifying that landscaping and the irrigation system have been installed in compliance with the approved
landscape documentation package. In October 2014, City of Hemet developed and implemented an improved notification system for addressing
water waste based on our Water Conservation Plan. In January 2015, the Hemet City Council amended this Water Conservation Plan to meet
SWRCB Emergency Regulations. The SWRCB issued a Conservation Order to the City of Hemet in August 2015 which required the City to
implement a water rate structure to encourage conservation (which was done) and to reach out to commercial, industrial and institutional
customers to implement additional conservation measures. During FY 2015-16, 44 Water Waste Notices were issued. The vast majority of
these notices (38) were issued to commercial businesses and multi-unit apartment complexes. Nearly all water waste was related to irrigation
runoff. Business owners and managers have been cooperative in adjusting irrigation to avoid runoff and/or converting turf to xeriscaping.

Provision Nos. VI.D.1.a.v-vii and VI.D.2.c require update of LIPs caused by changes to the DAMP, WQMP, Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake and Middle Santa
Ana River TMDL studies.
PERMITTEE. 1. Please provide a summary of the revisions of your LIP during the 2016-2016 FY resulting from these changes.
Beaumont
The LIP was revised in 2014-2015 reporting period. A copy of the revised LIP was provided to the RCFC&WCD. Since the County has revised
the DAMP and the Water Action Plan (WAP) had not been approved by the Regional Board for the report period, it is not efficient, cost
effective or appropriate to piece meal revision of the City LIP. In addition the Regional Board staff is currently working on a new MS4 Permit
which would likely have additional requirements including but no limited to full trash capture system. It is better to put the revision of the LIP
on-hold until the WAP and new MS4 Permit documents are issued and become effective.
Calimesa The City continues to develop our local implementation plan-LIP template. The City's goal is to have this template in place for FY 16-17 just
in time for major development that will happen in the next two to three years.
Canyon Lake The City of Canyon Lake has updated the LIP to reflect revisions to the DAMP and to ensure compliance with the current Permit.
Corona As noted above, the City of Corona's LIP was adopted on May 24, 2013. The City recently implemented departmental and personnel changes.
We are working to update the LIP for these changes which will be documented in next year's report.
Eastvale The City of Eastvale reviewed and worked on modifications to its LIP during the reporting period but has not yet finalized any changes or
revisions. The City has worked closely with the County and will continue to update the LIP accordingly.
Hemet
The following revisions were made to the City of Hemet LIP due to changes in the DAMP, approval of the CNRP, issuance of a new Industrial
General Permit and a new De Minimus Permit:
1. § - 6.5.10 Post Construction BMP Inspections – Updated to include requirement that privately-owned BMPs implemented on Industrial
facilities must be inspected once every three years; inspection of BMPs implemented on commercial/residential facilities remain once
every five years.
2. § 8.2 - Industrial & Commercial Inspections – Addressed changes to the Industrial/Commercial Inspection Program after the
Compliance Assistance Program (CAP) ended in December 2014. Included a discussion of an interim inspection plan and the ultimate
long-term plan to hire a consultant to provide stormwater inspection services.
3. § 12.2.3 - Added information on requirements of Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP), approved by the Regional Board
on 7/19/2013. Section describes specific actions/compliance tasks that have been taken or will be taken by Permittees to achieve
compliance with urban WLA by 12/31/2020.
Appendix B – Inserted copy of new De Minimus General Permit R8-2009-0003 and Monitoring & Reporting Program for R8-2009-0003-027.

implementation of permit requirements, changes to the Public Education Program name and activities, update regarding the LE/CL TMDL
revision, and the selection of two structural BMPs to address the Bacteria TMDL in the Santa Ana River. The update included the miles of
underground storm drains, open channels, levees and retention basins maintained by the District.
San Jacinto
The City undertook a major revision to the LIP during the period to incorporate changes to the DAMP. Additional revisions were anticipated
in FY 2015-16 as a result of potential approval of the WAP; however, the WAP was not approved by the Regional Board. Additional studies
are underway, and proposed revisions to the LE/CL TMDL include recognition of the impact of Mystic Lake on Zones 7 through 9 of the San
Jacinto River.

Section XVII.A of the Permit requires that the Permittees will evaluate the effectiveness of the Urban Runoff management program described in the DAMP
to determine the need for any revisions in order to reduce Pollutants in MS4 discharges consistent with the MEP standards consistent with the reporting
requirements in Appendix 3, Section IV.B. Section XVII.B requires that the findings of this review and a schedule to address necessary revisions be provided.
PERMITTEE 1. Please provide the findings of this review and a schedule to address necessary revisions
Beaumont The DAMP was revised after June 2016, therefore it was not evaluated the FY 2015-2016. Staff turnover and insufficient The DAMP will be
evaluated in the 2016-2017 fiscal year and changes reflected in the LIP as described earlier at that time.
Calimesa The City has not made any changes or revisions to the DAMP. Our MS4 discharges are consistent with the MEP. The City continues to review
all aspects and will revise as needed or required.
Canyon Lake After the evaluation, the DAMP was updated in June 2016.
Corona
This reporting year, the City continued implementation of the Comprehensive Bacteria Reduction Plan (CBRP) which focuses efforts on
reduction or elimination of dry weather flow to the Receiving Waters in order to meet the dry season urban Waste Load Allocation in the Middle
Santa Ana River Bacterial Indicator TMDL. Having completed the inventory, investigation, and mapping effort of all 101 Outfalls within City
limits in July 2011, staff investigated 37 Outfalls in June 2014 for illicit discharges. The 37 Outfalls met the monitoring criteria as IC/ID
violations were not detected. The City continued implementation of the revised Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for Urban Runoff
per Permit section XII.D which includes requirements for LID BMPs. In 2014, a review of our Storm Water Quality ordinance indicated an
update was necessary to incorporate the latest definitions and provisions of the newly approved WQMP guidance document. Staff updated the
Storm Water Quality Ordinance in order to ensure it reflected the latest WQMP provisions and definitions per the Permit. As such, staff
coordinated with legal counsel to prepare and incorporate the updates as well as other minor modifications to enhance the City's ability to
enforce the Permit. The updated Ordinance (No. 3164) was approved at the March 19, 2014 City Council meeting. The City also continued to
maintain a post construction BMP database to track the operation and maintenance of the structural post construction BMPs per Permit section
XII.K. The industrial commercial facility and construction site inspections continued per the compliance schedules and assigned priorities
defined in Permit Section XI. Compliance was documented in our Industrial/Commercial and Construction inspection databases. In addition,
the mobile business notification program continued to be implemented per Permit Section XI.D.6. This year staff investigated 72 incidences
of spills and/ or potential illegal pollutant discharges to the storm drain system. Additionally, staff responded to 113 calls regarding drainage
of swimming pools and spas. There has been a gradual increase in calls in recent years (36 calls in 2011, 76 in 2012, 99 in 2013, 102 in 2014,
and 108 in 2015) – especially when comparing the 2011 & 2012 numbers, which are likely due to focused outreach on proper drainage
procedures provided through utility bills, City website, educational materials distributed at City events, etc. Enforcement to achieve compliance
involved distributing educational materials, verbal warnings, and follow-up inspections. Lastly, staff issued 7 Notices of Violation this reporting
year which we have found to be an effective tool in bringing sites into compliance. The City also continued its "20% by 2020" water conservation
campaign. The City enacted Stage 3 of its Water Conservation Ordinance in response to the Governor's executive order issued April 1, 2015
and to meet the goal of 28% overall reduction in potable water use. Stage 3 rules include the following measures to limit dry weather runoff:
Three day per week watering with a maximum of 10 minutes per station
No watering between 10am and 8pm
Watering during and within 48 hours after rainfall measuring ½" or more is prohibited
Table 4-1- Program Implementation and Evaluation
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 4 – Program Implementation and Evaluation Page 4-12
Leaks and broken sprinklers must be fixed in a timely manner
Water cannot be allowed to runoff property
Washing hard surfaces is prohibited
Vehicles can only be watered using a bucket and hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle
The City enforces this ordinance through public education. The City has staff available to educate residents on how they can meet these goals
and respond to any complaints. Additionally the City has accelerated turf removal projects in City parkways and reclaimed water conversions.
The increased efforts on water conservation will result in decreased dry weather runoff and therefore a reduction in potential pathogenic
discharges from urban runoff into the Receiving Waters. The City's public outreach and education program continued this year, increasing
public awareness through residential, commercial and industrial outreach programs. These programs are currently being evaluated as part of
the CBRP to determine if additional programs targeted at bacteria reduction are necessary.
Eastvale
Upon evaluating the Urban Runoff management program described in the DAMP it is determined there is no need for any revisions in order to
reduce Pollutants in MS4 discharges consistent with the MEP standard. The City continues to review all aspects and will revise as needed and
report as required.

To date the Lead Permittee has coordinated the need for any revisions to the DAMP (I.e. WQMP revisions, LIP Template, Municipal Facility
SSPPP Template, IC/ID Program, CNRP monitoring, etc.) with the individual Co-Permittees to complete the required tasks. This year the only
change that occurred to the DAMP revolved around the end of the CAP Program, which was described in the preceding paragraphs and reported
on during the Fiscal Year 2014-15 annual report; and changes to the Unified Sanitary Sewer Spill Response Procedures. (See attached Exhibit
17).
Riverside
The City of Riverside continues its sustained effort to implement the DAMP and LIP in the most effective manner possible. Throughout the
fiscal year, City staffs from multiple departments have worked hard to ensure the protection of the storm drain system and local waterways.
The departments and divisions coordinating and implementing these programs include:
Riverside County
The County continues to review its processes and procedures to ensure MS4 permit provisions (and associated documents) are protective of
receiving water quality. TLMA continues to absorb additional responsibility for running day to day operations of the NPDES program. There
may be a time in the immediate future where the Executive Office provides a support role to TLMA. If this becomes the case, all documents
will be updated to reflect this change.
RCFC&WCD
New MS4 Permit Development
The Permittee's ROWD was submitted on July 29, 2014; the 2010 MS4 Permit expired on January 29, 2015 and was administratively
extended until the effective date of the new permit. Permit negotiations are the program's primary focal point throughout FY 2016-2017.
New Development
Continued development of the following Watershed Action Plan (WAP) Components: the Regional Geodatabase, Hydromodification
Susceptibility Mapping and Report, the Hydromodification Management Plan (HMP), and the Retrofit Study. Per 2010 MS4 Permit
requirements, a draft WAP was submitted by the Permittees for Regional Board approval on January 29, 2013; the Permittees received
comments from the Regional Board, and re-submitted the revised WAP on June 24, 2013. The Permittees received comments from the
Regional Board on the revised WAP, HMP, and Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping and Report on December 18, 2013 and March
21, 2014, respectively. The WAP, HMP, and Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping and Report were re-submitted to the Regional
Board on May 29, 2014 and again on January 7, 2015. The District, on behalf of the Permittees, continues to meet with the Regional Board
to finalize the WAP and supporting Hydromodification documents. The WAP was submitted again on June 18, 2015. Once approved, the
DAMP will be updated to include language from the approved WAP and supporting documents.
The District has gathered common questions and concerns about the WQMP Guidance Document, Template and Glossary, and created an

Aquatic Weed Control NPDES Permit Compliance
Compliance with the Aquatic Weed Control NPDES Permit is required for vegetation control activities which utilize application of aquatic
herbicides on District facilities. Vegetation control is an essential part of the District's routine maintenance activities in order to ensure that
its facilities continue to provide the design level of flood protection to which they were constructed and minimize or prevent loss of life and
property. Compliance with the Aquatic Weed Control NPDES Permit includes maintaining an aquatic pesticide application plan,
implementing BMPs to minimize potential impacts from the use of herbicides, monitoring for impacts to water quality, and submittal of an
annual report to the Regional Board and State Water Board.
Municipal Facilities and Activities
Continued to implement the provisions of the NPDES Permit's Municipal Facilities Strategy as described in the DAMP, including
improvements to structural facilities at the District's headquarters, municipal employee training activities, and reduction and/or elimination
of stormwater pollution sources at public agency facilities.
Water Quality Monitoring
Continued collection and analysis of water quality samples in accordance with the Permit's Monitoring and Reporting Program via the
Consolidated Monitoring Program (CMP) for water quality monitoring. Water quality samples are collected during dry and wet weather at
MS4 outfalls and receiving water stations, and are analyzed for required constituents to ensure compliance with the 2010 MS4 Permit.
The CMP for water quality monitoring describes the monitoring efforts that will be implemented to comply with the County's three MS4
Permits. Specifically, the Santa Ana Region Monitoring Plan (CMP Volume IV) was updated in August 2012 to comply with the 2010
MS4 Permit. It is reviewed annually, and was updated July 2014, and again in November 2014 with minor errata to reflect current methods
and improvements based on program information. Minor corrections were made to Water Quality Objective tables to reflect the Basin Plan
update. The 2014 CMP updates are applicable to the 2015-2016 monitoring year. The CMP includes procedures for collection and analysis
of water quality samples at Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems' (MS4) outfalls and receiving waters sites for a variety of constituents.
The CMP also includes monitoring efforts for the LE/CL TMDL, MSAR TMDL development, Hydromodification Monitoring, LID
Monitoring, and participation in the Regional Watershed Monitoring through membership with the Southern California Stormwater
Monitoring Coalition (SMC). These additional monitoring components and Special Studies have stand-alone work plans that have been
developed and approved for these components independently of the CMP.
Continued participation in the SMC, a regional monitoring group comprised of Southern California Phase 1 Municipal NPDES Permit
holders whose focus is developing effective, meaningful stormwater quality monitoring techniques. This included a 2009–2013 regional
effort and involved the participation of approximately 20 public agency participants. It included the stratification of 15 watersheds for the
overall south coast region of California, which spanned from Ventura County to San Diego County. The goal was to monitor 450 sites
overall (i.e., approximately 90 sites per year); however, with collaboration, results from 545 sites region-wide were included in the
assessment of over 4,350 miles of streams in the southern coast region of California. The final report was published in May 2015 and can
be found on the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project and/or SMC websites. Based on the findings and lessons learned from
this effort, a revised study design has commenced for the 2015-2019 regional monitoring effort.
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
Continued participation in the Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake Nutrient TMDL Task Force. The Task Force is comprised of stakeholders
regulated by the Regional Board through the Lake Elsinore/Canyon Lake Nutrient TMDL (LE/CL TMDL), which was adopted on December
17, 2004. The District also participates in another TMDL Task Force for the Reach 3 Santa Ana River Pathogen Indicator TMDL (MSAR
TMDL), which was adopted on August 26, 2005. The purpose of both Task Forces is to implement joint requirements of the TMDLs, to
address these impairments and implement the TMDLs. The agreements for both Task Forces were recently renewed and have a term of five
RCFC&WCD

(5) years. The current task force agreements are set to expire on June 17, 2017 for the LE/CL TMDL Task Force, and December 1, 2017
for the MSAR TMDL Task Force.
The Permittees utilized the LE/CL TMDL Task Force to implement the approved Comprehensive Nutrient Reduction Plan (CNRP) which
includes an alum treatment project for Canyon Lake, as well as the continued funding and aeration of the Lake Elsinore Aeration and Mixing
System. The services of a consultant (Amec Foster Wheeler) were secured to perform monitoring requirements of the LE/CL TMDL Phase
2 Compliance Monitoring Program.
The Permittees utilized the MSAR TMDL Task Force Agreement to facilitate the hiring of a consultant to aid in the implementation of the
Comprehensive Bacteria Reduction Plan (CBRP) for those Permittees named in the TMDL within Riverside County. The CBRP was approved
at the February 10, 2012 Regional Board meeting and is currently in the implementation phase. Specifically, the consultant (CDM Smith, Inc.)
was contracted to develop a monitoring program to identify and quantify uncontrollable sources of bacteria in the Middle Santa Ana River
Watershed. The consultant finished field monitoring activities in January 2016. A final report is currently in development that will identify
natural sources of bacteria in the watershed and give a range of counts of bacteria associated with each identified source.

the District notifies the Permittee having jurisdiction so that they implement the proper follow-up
procedures in accordance with their LIP, and in general conformance with the guidance provided
in the CMP as appropriate. The Permittees' current efforts to control IC/IDs are summarized in
Table 5-1.
Field Reconnaissance Activity
In addition to the IC/ID investigations during monitoring, the Permittee implemented a field
reconnaissance activity to identify IC/IDs. The field reconnaissance focused on investigating all
major outfalls within its jurisdiction. This effort was required to be completed within the term of
the MS4 Permit (i.e., by January 29, 2015). An update on this effort has been provided in database
form.
When it has been determined that an observed discharge warrants investigation, such as when field
parameter thresholds are exceeded (CMP Section 5), a source investigation was conducted by the
Permittee.
Results Database
All sampling data collected as part of the IC/ID monitoring program, including incident response
information are tracked individually by each Permittee and included in Appendix K. In
compliance with the Permit (Sections III.A.1.m and IX.H), for the field reconnaissance effort, the
District tracks and compiles information that is gathered and entered by the Permittees into an
IC/ID database. The database will consist of a master spreadsheet that has been developed and
formatted by the District. The master spreadsheet is included in Appendix K.
Training
IC/ID and Safety Training is for the Santa Ana Region Permittees and meets the requirements
outlined in Section IX.E of the SAR Permit, Volume 5: Santa Ana Region Monitoring Plan, and
Appendix J of the Quality Assurance Project Plan. Permittee staff responsible for conducting IC/ID
inspections receive annual training regarding the following topics:
Background on SAR Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP)
IC/ID Program Components
Sampling Safety
Meter Calibration, Operation and Maintenance
Field Site Visit (hands-on sampling)

SANTA ANA REGION NPDES MUNICIPAL STORMWATER PERMIT
Provision No. IX.D and Provision No. IX.E of the MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to review and revise their IC/ID program to include a pro-active IDDE
using the Guidance Manual f Illicit Discharge, Detection, and Elimination by the Center for Watershed Protection or any other equivalent program by July 29,
2011. Provision No. IX.G of the MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to review and evaluate their IC/ID program, including liter/trash BMPs, to determine if the
program needs to be adjusted. The results of this review shall be reported in the Annual Report and include a description of the Permittees revised pro-active
IDDE program, procedures and schedules.
PERMITTEE 1. Please provide a description of the revised procedures and schedules from the annual review and evaluation of the Permittee IC/ID
program.
Beaumont No update was made to the City's IC/ID program.
Calimesa
The City of Calimesa continues to enforce, operate, and adhere to our IC/ID program, which reflects the IDDE elements using the above
referenced manual. The City's IC/ID program continues to effectively work and therefore no revisions have been made during this reporting
period. The City will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our IC/ID program and revise as necessary. The City continues to educate the
public about illegal discharges and pollution prevention. We continue to integrate IC/ID detection and elimination into our inspection programs,
training of Permittee staff, and monitoring data collection. The City maintains and manages our IC/ID database summarizing IC/ID incident
response.
Canyon Lake
The City of Canyon Lake is proactive in ensuring compliance with the MS4 Permit IC/ID requirements and regularly reviews the Canyon Lake
Municipal Code. The Canyon Lake Property Owner Association (POA) Community Patrol, Marine Patrol, the City of Canyon Lake Special
Enforcement and Code Enforcement Officers perform visual inspections, monitor discharge sites, educate the public and perform periodic water
quality tests. In order to comply with water quality regulations enforced by the State through the local Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board, the Lake Elsinore & Canyon Lake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Task Force started using a state funded grant for Alum
treatments, which began in September 2013. When alum is added to the lake, it binds immediately with the phosphorous and effectively removes
the opportunity for algae to grow. With less algae in the water, light can penetrate deeper into the lake allowing plants to grow at the bottom
while improving the overall health and water quality of the lake for the life of the fish. Applications have taken place in September 2013,
February 2014, September 2014, May 2015, September 2015, May 2016 and September 2016. The City continues to maintain signage on all
City owned drains with "Only Rain Down the Drain" provided by Riverside County Flood Control. All applicable Ordinances in the Municipal
Code are continually reviewed and updated for compliance. The City of Canyon Lake performs an annual cleanup of the community and Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) lands. In addition, Special Enforcement Officers patrol twice a week to remove trash and debris from within the
community and BLM lands. The passing of Urgency Ordinance 134U has led to a substantial decrease in trash and debris in the BLM lands.
The City has reviewed the IC/ID program and found our litter/trash BMPs to be sufficient.
Corona
The City reviewed and revised its IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The proposed
IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa Ana
Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The
CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. City staff responsible for completing the IC/ID outfall
investigations attended a half-day training seminar sponsored by the Principal Permittee wherein staff learned about proper sampling protocols
and investigation techniques. The City also obtained a pH and Conductivity meter for use on future investigations. City staff completed IC/ID
investigations in June of 2014. No IC/ID at the outfalls were noted this year.
TABLE 5-1 ILLICIT CONNECTIONS/ILLEGAL DISCHARGES
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 5 – Illicit Connections/Illegal Discharges Page 5-5
Eastvale The City Inspectors or Code Enforcement Officers will note and report any IC/ID situations to the Program Manager for follow up actions and
record purposes. The City also has public reporting software and will receive public notices about IC/ID events as well.
Hemet The annual review of the City of Hemet IC/ID program did not result in any revised procedures or schedules.
Jurupa Valley
The City of Jurupa Valley doesn't have an IC/ID problem. Most of the IC/ID issues are handled by the water/sewer providers (mainly JCSD
and RCSD.) The City of Jurupa Valley does has a litter, debris and trash control problem. The City has two waste providers Burrtec and Waste
Management. They have liberal policies for pickup of large objects and trash accumulations. Despite that, the city continually picks up loads
of sofas, beds, and other furniture, tires and trash from the public right-of-way. The City sends staff to any reports of dumping and illicit
discharges to review situation and make a report.

Menifee The City reviewed the effectiveness of the program during 2015-16 and determined that there was no need for revisions.
Moreno Valley
The City Moreno Valley reviewed and revised its IC/ID program to reflect the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The
proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the Santa
Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees. The
CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be completed
by the end of the Permit term.
Norco
The City has reviewed their OC/ID program to compare the IDDE elements using the above referenced guidance manual. The IC/ID Program
(with procedures and schedule) was incorporated into volume IV of the CMP. The City's program will continue as it has in the past. All reports
of possible illegal connections are investigated with enforcement actions taken as necessary. Routine maintenance and inspection are made and
if any illegal connection is found, follow-up action/enforcement is taken.
Perris
The proposed IC/ID program (including procedures and schedules) was incorporated into Volume IV of the CMP which was submitted to the
Santa Ana Regional Board on May 31, 2011 by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on behalf of the Co-Permittees.
The CMP was approved by the Santa Ana Regional Board in a letter dated March 26, 2012. IC/ID investigations are ongoing and due to be
completed by the end of the Permit term. The enforcement procedures for reported incidents have been deemed adequate. However, the Illicit
Connection/Illegal Discharge Monitoring Program for major city "Outfall Areas" will need to be more thoroughly described in the City's new
individual LIP. During the upcoming reporting period, 2016-17, the initial inventory that the City conducted will be refined for accuracy, and the
remaining portions of the City, including along the San Jacinto River, will be inventoried for the purpose of identifying additional "Outfall Areas."
The City currently has identified and actively monitors 32 "Outfall Areas." (Note that three of the areas PMP 7, 8 and 10 are RCFC&WCD
Outfalls) Once these inventories have been completed, and regular monitoring procedures have been established in the LIP, a concerted effort
will be made by the City to more regularly conduct any required sampling, and by extension, the necessary follow-up and investigation into
suspected illegal connections/illegal discharge.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 6 – Private Development Construction Activity Page 6-1
6. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
The initial Construction Site Inspection Program element was described in the
Enforcement/Compliance Strategy (E/CS) as required by the 1996 MS4 Permit. The Construction
Site Inspection program has been an effective element of the SAR DAMP.
INVENTORY DATABASE
In conformance with Provision No. XI.B.1 of the 2010 MS4 Permit, each Permittee continues to
maintain and update an inventory database (or databases) of construction sites for which they have
issued a building or grading permit. These databases are updated with new projects when the project
is issued a building or grading permit or when the pre-construction meeting has occurred. Projects
are removed from the database when construction is complete and the project's building or grading
permit is closed. The inventory and database was initiated in October 2003 and was first reported in
the 2003 Annual Report. An example of the inventory database is included in Appendix L.
Permittee databases are included with the respective Permittee submittal section of this report under
Appendix J.
Provision XI.B.2 of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires each Permittee to inspect all inventoried
construction sites, document relevant site information and include it into the inventory database. In
establishing priorities for inspection of construction sites, each Permittee shall also prioritize
construction sites as high, medium, or low threat to receiving water quality.
Provision XI.A.2 and XI.B.3 of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires that each Permittee also conduct
construction site inspections for compliance with its ordinances, including its stormwater ordinance,
regulations, codes and the WQMP, and that each Permittee document the number of inspections and
actions taken then summarize and report on those actions annually.
When conducting construction site inspections, the Permittees' construction site inspectors, at a
minimum, address the following items:
For projects of one acre or more, verify that an NOI has been submitted via the State
Board SMARTS system. Verification is typically made by reviewing a printed copy of
the NOI showing the WDID number issued for the site. As Permittees become aware of
changes in ownership, Permittees will notify SARWQCB staff.
For projects of one acre or more, verify that a SWPPP is onsite.
Verification that the BMPs implemented onsite are effective for the appropriate phase of
construction (preliminary stage, mass grading stage, streets and utilities stage, etc.).
Confirm compliance with the Permittee's stormwater ordinance.
Check for poorly managed authorized non-stormwater discharges or evidence of
unauthorized non-stormwater discharges that may be potential IC/IDs to a MS4.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 6 – Private Development Construction Activity Page 6-2
Some Permittees have chosen to document this construction site inspection information on a separate
form, while other Permittees have chosen to incorporate this information into existing inspection
forms. An example construction site inspection form is located in Appendix L. Based on the
inspection findings, the Permittees implement follow-up actions as necessary to comply with the
requirements of the 2010 SAR MS4 Permit.
INSPECTOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Provision No. XV.C requires the Permittees to provide training to staff involved in inspecting
construction sites. Permittee staff responsible for conducting construction site inspections receive
annual training regarding the following topics:
The local jurisdiction's stormwater ordinance and other applicable local jurisdiction
resolutions and codes;
The 2010 MS4 Permit;
The construction activity permits; and
The local jurisdiction's enforcement and compliance strategy/policy for construction
sites.
This annual training for construction site inspectors is conducted prior to October 1st, the start of the
rainy season. The Permittees ensure that newly-hired municipal staff or transferred municipal staff
receive formal training within six months of beginning their inspection duties. A summary of the
Permittees' efforts is provided in Table 6-1.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 7 – Industrial and Commercial Sources Page 7-1
7. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOURCES
The Permittees' initial industrial and commercial sources program element was initially described
in the Enforcement/Compliance Strategy as required by the 1996 MS4 Permit and was revised to
address the requirements of the 2002 MS4 Permit. This included an expansion of the commercial
businesses covered by the inspection program, required inventories/databases, prioritization of
industrial and commercial sources relative to the potential to impact water quality, and specified
inspection frequencies based upon facility priority. The Industrial and Commercial Sources
Program will continue to have both regional and local jurisdiction components.
In July 2011, Section 8 of the DAMP – Industrial and Commercial Sources, was revised to reflect
the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit and was submitted to the SARWQCB. On December
31, 2014, the County Department of Environmental Health eliminated the CAP and inspection
support. In August 2015, Section 8 of the DAMP was updated to include the elimination of the
CAP. The DAMP, included in Appendix M, includes the removal of the CAP program.
CURRENT INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FACILITY INSPECTIONS
The Permittees have developed a mechanism to identify compliance of industrial and commercial
facilities with local stormwater ordinances and, where applicable, potential non-compliance with
California's General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities.
Two main components of this existing program are the Permittees industrial and commercial
facility inspections, which replaced the CAP, and the local POTW pre-treatment inspection
programs.
COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CAP)/ PERMITTEES INDUSTRIAL AND
COMMERCIAL FACILITY INSPECTION
Until December 31, 2014, the County implemented the CAP for oversight and inspection of
industrial and commercial sources. The Permittees began to implement measures to ensure the
industrial and commercial facility inspections are conducted according to the MS4 Permit soon
after the termination of CAP. The inspections are performed by the Permittees, at frequencies
mentioned in Provision No. XI.D.
The CAP/Permittees industrial and commercial facility inspection involved a detailed stormwater
compliance survey for:
Facilities that must secure a hazardous materials permit for storing, handling, or
generating such materials; and
Retail food facilities.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 7 – Industrial and Commercial Sources Page 7-2
The CAP/Permittees' industrial and commercial facility inspection includes educational outreach
to the inspected facilities and completion of a detailed stormwater compliance survey. Completed
survey forms are included into the respective municipality's database. The completed survey forms
are prioritized and the respective municipality's representative identifies those surveys that indicate
non-compliance to initiate a follow-up inspection. In conducting a facility inspection, if it appears
that the facility may be required to have coverage under the General Permit for Storm Water
Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities and the facility operator indicated that a Notice
of Intent (NOI) has not been filed, the inspector provides the facility operator with an informational
sheet on the requirements of the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with
Industrial Activities.
Blank copies of the forms used by the Permittees when conducting these stormwater compliance
surveys are included in Appendix L. The 2010 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to ensure that
the stormwater compliance surveys of restaurants conducted as part of the CAP address, at
minimum:
Oil and grease disposal to verify that these wastes are not poured onto parking lots,
streets, or adjacent catch basins;
Trash bin areas to verify that these areas are clean, the bin lids are closed, the bins are
not used for liquid waste disposal, and wash water from the bins is not disposed into
the MS4;
Parking lot, alley, sidewalk and street areas to verify that floor mats, filters and garbage
containers are not washed in those areas and that no wash water is disposed of in those
areas;
Parking lot areas to verify that they are cleaned by sweeping, not by hosing down, and
that the facility operator uses dry methods for spill cleanup; and
Violations of the stormwater ordinance are enforced by the Permittee.
These specific topics are addressed in questions 1-8 of the Food Facility Stormwater Compliance
Survey Form included in Appendix L.
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL FACILITY DATABASE
Provision No. XI.A.1 of the MS4 Permit requires each Permittee to continue to update its industrial
and commercial facilities database, including facility information priority and inspection
information. The database content may be Permittee specific, but contains minimum information
that must be provided.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 7 – Industrial and Commercial Sources Page 7-3
Provision No. XI.A.2 requires a summary of the number of industrial and commercial facilities
compliance surveys/inspections and the actions taken. A template spreadsheet was developed by
the Permittees and is included in Appendix L.
Provision Nos. XI.C.1 and XI.D.3 requires each agency to prioritize and inspect all inventoried
industrial and commercial facilities.
Provision No. XI. requires each Permittee to develop an inventory of the following commercial
facilities/companies within its jurisdiction:
Mobile automobile or other vehicle washing/detailing (base of operations);
Mobile carpet, drape or furniture cleaning (base of operations);
Mobile high pressure or steam cleaning (base of operations);
Mobile equipment washing/cleaning (base of operations);
Nurseries and greenhouses;
Landscape and hardscape installation (base of operations);
Other commercial facilities that the Permittee determines may contribute a significant
pollutant load to the MS4;
Facilities that transport, store, or transfer pre-production plastic pellets;
The Permittees developed a template form to use during follow up site inspections. This form is
included in Appendix L. A summary of the Permittees' efforts is provided in Table 7-1.
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL FACILITY INSPECTOR TRAINING
Provision No. XV.C of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires each Permittee to provide training to staff
involved in conducting industrial facilities compliance surveys/inspections.
Permittee staff responsible for conducting inspections, as part of the Permittee Industrial and
Commercial Inspection Program or a wastewater pretreatment inspection program, receive annual
training regarding the following topics:
Selection, implementation, and maintenance of appropriate or minimum BMPs for
industrial or commercial facilities;
The Industrial General Permit and NOI requirements;
The Permittee's stormwater ordinance and other local jurisdiction resolutions and codes
related to protection of water quality;
The 2010 MS4 Permit, the DAMP, and the LIP;
The local jurisdiction's enforcement and compliance strategy/policy for industrial and
commercial facilities;
How to provide guidance to industrial and commercial facility operators on proper
selection, implementation and maintenance of BMPs, and compliance with the
requirements of the stormwater ordinance during site inspections; and
TMDL requirements and appropriate BMPs to mitigate the impacts of industrial and
commercial facilities.
The Permittees ensure that newly hired municipal staff or transferred municipal staff receives
informal training within six months of hire and formal training within one year of hire. When
planning formal classroom training related to conducting inspections of industrial or commercial
facilities, the Permittees will notify, and coordinate with, SARWQCB staff.
Permittee staff responsible for conducting industrial or commercial facility inspections may also
attend training sponsored by professional associations such as the American Society of Civil
Engineers, American Public Works Association, the CASQA, and other area-wide MS4 Permittees
and entities.

by the City staff or through its consultants. Many such inspections of auto repair, gas stations and restaurants were conducted a summary of
which is enclosed as an appendix with this report. As previously mentioned, the City experience departmental turnover across the all City
departments during the 2015-2016 fiscal year. During that time, program coverage was inadequate for the City. Consultants provided
enforcement during the tumultuous period, and consultant records are currently being obtained by the City. The City intends to accelerate
the inspection of these facilities consistent with its LIP currently in effect.

such as County Department of Environmental Health, County Hazmat, and the Regional Board. NPDES staff also responds to referrals made
from various City departments such as fire department, code enforcement, and building and safety regarding potential violations at industrial
and commercial facilities. Once notification is received by NPDES staff, we typically follow up on all potential violations within two
working days to ensure proper enforcement is taken per our ordinance and as described in the LIP. In instances when a potential violation
is referred to us but that facility is not in our jurisdiction, we ensure the proper agency is notified and send notification via e-mail to the
appropriate Permittee contact.
Eastvale
The City of Eastvale works closely with the County department of Environmental Health, fire departments, code enforcement, and building
and safety. Once an issue is found, the responsible parties will be notified for follow up. The City has reviewed the program coverage and it
was determined to be adequate. The City is currently working on adding stronger enforcement policies for our Industrial/Commercial Facility
Stormwater Program that should be ready within the 2016/2017 Fiscal Year.

Lake Elsinore For FY 15/16, there were no instances of inspections of Commercial/Industrial facilities within the City's jurisdictional limits were carried
out by other agencies.
Menifee
The City assumed full responsibility for the Industrial and Commercial Storm Water Inspection Program in 2014-15 and completed 113 full
and partial storm water inspections at select facilities this 2015-16 fiscal year. Storm water inspections conducted by the City resulted in a
total of 46 cases that were recommended for follow-up. The majority of these cases were due to improper implementation of BMPs; only
seven cases were due to observed IC/IDs. The City is actively working with the remaining nine businesses that are still considered out of
compliance based on the most recent June 2016 inspection to address the necessary deficiencies.
Moreno Valley
The City has contracted with an environmental consulting firm to conduct the commercial and industrial inspections as per the Order's
compliance schedule. A representative from this firm is available to follow-up until compliance is reached. Code Enforcement also can be
notified if legal action is necessary.
Norco -
Perris
The City of Perris maintains a record of all enforcement actions taken against those suspected of violating the City's Stormwater Management
and Discharge Controls Ordinance, and continues to issue a variety of correction notices up to and including court citation for misdemeanor
violations. The CAP Program, intended to assist co-permittees with their individual Industrial/Commercial Inspection Program came to an
end in December, 2014. As such, during the previous reporting period 2014-2015 the City requested and received proposals from Private
inspection companies to begin conducting Commercial and Industrial Inspections on behalf of the City. During that reporting period, on or
about September 8, 2015 the City entered into an Agreement with the Consulting Firm, and prioritized the first set of "High" and "Medium"
and "Low" Commercial and Industrial business to be inspected under the City's new Inspection Program, using the old methodology as
described in the City's Current LIP. During the current reporting period 2015-2016, the first year inspection program went exceedingly well,
all the entire list of Low, Medium and High commercial and industrial business were inspected, approximately 113 businesses were
inspected. Based on the first year inspections the original list was reprioritized based on the actual visit and in accordance with the
methodology and the new requirements found under Section XI of the new NPDES Permit. It is important to note that the first year's list
included all High and all medium business on the City's entire list of commercial and industrial businesses, but did not include all "Low"
priority businesses. The City's entire list of Commercial and Industrial Business is 318, including all High, Medium and Low categories.
"Low" business are only required to be inspected once every five years. Therefore, certain 'Low" business are still categorized under the old
prioritization methodology. These remaining "Low" business will be systematically inspected over the remaining permit term. As the
remaining "Low" business are inspected, they will receive a new rating in accordance with the new methodology required by the new NPDES
Permit. As indicated above, the City of Perris has reviewed the LIP against the new requirements found under Section XI of the new NPDES
Permit, and in light of the end of the CAP Program, and the new City Inspection Program the City has determined that changes should be
made to the City's Inspection Program prioritization methodology, as detailed in the City's Current LIP. These changes will be incorporated
into the City's LIP, and revisions will be provided to the Board during the next NPDES reporting Period.
Riverside
In FY 2015-2016 the City's Environmental Compliance Section conducted 1,853 stormwater inspections at a variety of businesses. Each
business includes a review of the facility, housekeeping or their BMP's, and a general review of stormwater principles. Depending on the
outcome of the inspection, appropriate action was taken to ensure the businesses complied with all City ordinances pertaining to stormwater.

Beaumont
Outreach brochures provided at the Civic Center counter by City staff. The City has been very active in providing outreach to its various
customer categories namely, industrial, commercial and residential. Various outreach brochures have been prepared which are routinely
handed out by city staff managing customer service counters. Number of brochures that are desighended to educate residential, commercial
and industrial customers are included as an appendix to this report. These brochures would be revised as necessary. For example various
groups hold fund raising events such as car wash by boy scouts, schools , girl scouts etc; where there is a potential of nutrient containing
wastewater to enter the city storm water system that eventually discharges into US waters. One of the outreach brochures recommends that
such groups work with local car washes and share the revenue by utilizing these facilities rather than do individually such events throughout
the City. This program is still in its infancy and would require more education at the grass root level such as from elementary to high schools.
It is recommended that city participate in attending educational events at schools and also distribute outreach brochures during scheduled
events such as Cherry Festivals and summer music concerts series that is sponsored by the City.
Calimesa
The City of Calimesa has developed and implemented BMPs and minimum source controls for all new and existing mobile businesses that

Corona
1) NPDES staff adds new businesses to our industrial/commercial facilities database on a quarterly basis. This list of businesses is obtained
from City business license applications. As businesses are added, they are categorized into a HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW priority based on
their SIC and those businesses identified as mobile businesses with their base of operations in City are flagged in the database. Mobile
businesses are assigned a HIGH priority initially and therefore will be inspected within one year of being added to the database. NPDES
inspection staff visits these facilities and provide the owners with educational materials developed by the City specifically for mobile operators
regarding the minimum BMPs that are required to be implemented. Staff discusses expectations to use these BMPs when operating in Corona
and anywhere in Riverside County.
2) NPDES staff responds to complaints of mobile business operators discharging or potentially discharging non-stormwater into the MS4.
The operators are provided the mobile business educational materials and are informed of the minimum BMPs to operate in City of Corona.
If a business license has not been issued or if adequate BMPs cannot be implemented, the operators are told to immediately cease operations.
3) Within this permit term, NPDES staff has proactively performed after-hour reconnaissance at commercial districts throughout the City
to identify mobile operators in action and educate those that were found to be out of compliance. The same educational materials are provided
and operators are informed of the minimum BMPs to operate in the City. Staff have identified businesses that regularly clean trash enclosures
and parking lot areas as more likely to operate late in the evening or early in the morning, therefore not within normal agency operating hours.

The City has a list of all registered business in the City and has continued to work on their mobile business program. . Letters were sent out
to the mobile business regarding the required stormwater compliance inspection. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, the City made a large
effort to remove home businesses that did not require an inspection for stormwater compliance. These home businesses showed no sign of
active outdoor activity or waste disposal related to their work. Mobile business that completed regular work at certain facilities were inspected
to ensure they complied with the stromwater requirements. While inspectors complete inspection, they would monitor for mobile businesses
actively working in the City's jurisdiction. If mobile business are found, the inspector verifies the business has a business registration to
complete work in the city. Then explain the stormwater compliance requirements for the mobile business. Mobile business found operating
in the city without a business registration are sent to code enforcement.

Moreno Valley
During previous reporting periods, the City of Moreno Valley utilized known business license information in order to identify all mobile
businesses that were based or operating within its jurisdiction, and whose business practices were found to be potentially harmful to water
quality. These Mobile Washing/Cleaning businesses were notified by letter, which included both education materials in both English and
Spanish, explaining the minimum Source Control and Pollution Prevention BMPs that were appropriate for their type of operations.
Businesses were also notified of the City's requirement to routinely inspect their operations in order to verify compliance with local and
regional water quality requirements as well as determine if appropriate BMPs were being implemented. This effort will be duplicated during
the following reporting period.

Eastvale The City of Eastvale employees and inspectors are trained properly to educate and catch any violations in the City's Residential Program. The
City also has in store and online public educations materials about pollution prevention, clean up, etc. that is readily available for residents.
Hemet
The City of Hemet distributes "Only Rain Down the Storm Drain" Public Education Program Fact Sheets/Brochures/BMPs and other appropriate
information to the residents at local events and from City offices in an effort to educate citizens about reducing the discharge of pollutants from
activities in residential areas. The City of Hemet promotes regional activities to facilitate the proper collection and management of used oil, toxic
and hazardous materials, and other household wastes. This includes distribution of information regarding the dates and locations of temporary
and permanent HHW and ABOP collection events and facilities and curbside or special collection sites managed by the City's solid waste hauler
CC&R and/or Riverside County. In addition, if during an inspection in response to a complaint, a City of Hemet Code Enforcement inspector
observes that a residence is non-compliant with the City's Stormwater Ordinance, enforcement procedures are undertaken, as appropriate, which
normally includes the distribution of educational materials on reducing the discharge of pollutants.

The City of Canyon Lake has reviewed the annual clean out schedules of the MS4 facilities and found them to be adequate in eliminating
discharge to the MS4. The City has a contract with Downstream Services to clean the storm drains along Railroad Canyon Road 3 times per
year. Street sweeping is performed monthly, or more often if needed, along Railroad Canyon Road. Street sweeping within the private
community occurs twice a week.
Corona
Annual inspection is typical for the storm drain system, with more frequent schedules for facilities that pose greater threat to discharge pollutants
into the Receiving Waters. Regular maintenance is conducted as a result of schedules and inspections. Cleaning frequency is based on the
following priorities;
Low: Low density residential areas, areas with no prior history of illegal dumping, problems and/or complaints
Medium: Medium density residential areas, areas with modest amount of landscaping, collector streets, storm drain facilities with few complaints,
problems or history of an isolated incident that occurred in the past with no visible reoccurring pattern, facilities that had significant types and
amounts from past inspections or cleaning.
High: High density residential, commercial and industrial area, areas with significant amount of landscaping, major arterial, primary and
secondary streets, facilities that discharge directly to Receiving Waters and are classified under the Medium category above, facilities that have
been found to contain significant amounts of toxic pollutant based on past inspection cleaning. Analysis of the data collected during facility
cleanout identifies areas of higher priority and cleanout schedules are adjusted accordingly.
Eastvale The current schedule for the catch basin clean outs is found to be adequate. All other MS4 facilities (above 36") are subject to the County's clean
out schedule.
Hemet
City of Hemet maintenance staff continues to perform routine maintenance in MS4 facilities on an annual basis, including removal of trash and
debris, vegetation, sediments, and repair of erosion damage. Frequency of clean out is dependent upon need, which is determined by ongoing
facilities inspections.
Jurupa Valley The City of Jurupa Valley cleans a minimum of 830 of the 1038 catch basins located in the City annually in October of each year on a rotation
basis. That work has recently finished for the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year.

Catch basins in the City are annually inspected and cleaned out prior to the rainy season. (Note that open channels and detention basins in the
City are owned and maintained by RCFC&WCD.) The City contracts out catch basin maintenance and works with its contractor to verify that
its MS4 facilities are appropriately maintained. During annual inspection and maintenance, the contractor inspects for visual evidence of IC/IDs,
litter and/or debris accumulation, and other maintenance issues. No IC/IDs were reported in 2015-16. Those facilities where storage volume was
found to be 25% or more full, or that were impaired by sediment or debris, were cleaned. Attachment G is the Catch Basin Cleaning Inventory

Privately owned Facilities Maintained by City: Through contracts with Homeowners Associations, the City maintains 33 water quality
basins/vegetated swales. The basins/swales are inspected at a minimum on a monthly basis and more frequently during the rainy season.
Maintenance and cleanout schedules are per maintenance contract arrangements with the HOA and the City's maintenance contractor. Staff
routinely evaluates the cleaning frequency of these facilities to protect Receiving Water Quality consistent with the MEP standard.

Perris
The Public Works Department Field Services Division, Special Districts Division and Engineering Administration Division provide a variety of
services intended to provide pro-active maintenance of the City's municipal facilities and activities. In order to achieve this objective, the
department has instituted a street sweeping program. During the summer months, when water flows are rare, street right-of-way inspections are
increased to once in a week in all commercial and residential areas. This will prevent accumulated trash, household debris, sediment, and other
contaminants from entering catch basins, open channels, and other storm drain facilities. The Public Works Department Field Services Division,
Special Districts Division, and Engineering Administration Division are responsible for conducting routine inspections of city storm drains, to
insure that system does not become clogged or impaired by the accumulation of miscellaneous debris, and also ensures that sediments are removed
on a routine basis to prevent pollutants from entering downstream waterways. This includes above ground inspection of catch basins, detention
basins, open channels and box culverts. This also includes below ground inspection (i.e. video review) of underground pipe and box culverts, and
photo documenting (i.e. manhole inspections) of hydrodynamic separators and catch basins. Due to an extensive retrofit of 12 Flood Control
District Benefit Zones (BZ's) with Connector Pipe Screens, intended to serve as full capture devices, the City has increased the frequency of catch
basin cleaning for 289 Catch Basins (See Specifications FCD #1-2013-14-05). The City now cleans these particular catch basins three times per
year instead of twice a year as reported in previous annual reports. Generally speaking cleanings occur in June, October and January. Since these
"Full Capture" devices now remove pollutant laden sediment and trash on a more frequent basis, the amount of pollutants entering the
hydrodynamic separators and storm drain pipe is also reduced. Therefore, pipe cleaning in these particular BZ's has been reduced to a total of one
cleaning every two years, instead of the annual pipe cleaning reported in previous annual reports. The frequency of Hydrodynamic separator
cleaning remains the same: hydrodynamic separators are still cleaned once per year. The City's LIP will be updated to reflect these maintenance
changes and system descriptions, and the revisions will be provided to the Board in the next NPDES Annual Report. The maintenance schedule
for the remaining storm drain system in place throughout the City remains the same. Based on available resources, the City has determined that
it can manage a total of one inspection and cleaning of pipe (includes underground pipe & box culvert) and two inspections and cleanings of
catch basins (includes catch basins, ARS screens, REM Filters) per year. Generally speaking, in January, or during the wet/rainy season, individual
catch basins will be inspected for clogged and impaired filters, ARS Screens, CPS Screens, and accumulation of debris, and will be cleaned as
required. The second cleaning of catch basins will follow at the beginning of the summer season, and is normally scheduled or completed by
June. As for underground pipe, box culverts, any facility with standing water may indicate blocked pipe or storm drains, and will be cleaned or
repaired accordingly. However, as this is usually not the case, routine cleaning of underground pipe, box culverts will be cleaned once a year on
Table 9-1. Permittee Facilities and Activities
Program Implementation Section 9 – Permittee Facilities and Activities Page 9-11
or before the beginning of the wet/rainy season, and is normally scheduled or completed by October. All underground facilities are video
documented. As for above ground detention basins, bioswales, infiltration basins, sand filters, and other natural flood control or BMP facilities
are inspected and cleaned on either: 1) monthly basis (routine maintenance above ground natural bioswales, detention basins and infiltration
basins), and 2) reconstruction/fine grading of detention basins, bioswales, infiltration trenches as needed or approximately every 2-5 years, and
3) Certain Outfalls, Channels, Swales are inspected and cleaned 5x per year (refer to SPEC FCD #1-2016-17-01). The City of Perris included its
inventory and maintenance schedules in its LIP, but plans to continue to refine and will more fully describe its inventory, inspection and
maintenance procedures.The City of Perris included its inventory and maintenance schedules in its new individual LIP, but plans to continue to
refine and will more fully describe its inventory, inspection and maintenance procedures in the City's new individual LIP. In addition to the
facilities described in the preceding paragraphs, the Illicit Connection/Illegal Discharge Monitoring Program for major city "Outfall Areas" will
need to be more thoroughly described in the City's new individual LIP. During the reporting period the City determined that the Outfalls identified
as PMP 7, PMP 8, and PMP 10, are actually RCFC & WCD Outfalls. Despite the identification of these 3 outfalls as RCFC &WCD Outfalls, the
City monitored all 32 "Outfall Areas" at least once, and the inspection was documented on the illicit discharge reporting forms. No sampling
was required, nor was any further investigation required. During the upcoming reporting period, 2016-17, the initial inventory will be refined for
accuracy, and the remaining portions of the City, including along the San Jacinto River, will be inventoried for the purpose of identifying
additional "Outfall Areas." Once these inventories have been completed, and regular monitoring procedures have been established in the LIP, a
concerted effort will be made by the City to more regularly conduct any required sampling, and by extension, the necessary follow-up and
investigation into suspected illegal connections/illegal discharge.

The Transportation Department annually reviews and implements the individual clean out schedules and frequency for its MS4 facilities. The
schedule and frequency of routine maintenance of the MS4 facilities are based on the assigned priority as follows:
- "High" priority facilities will be inspected and maintained annually prior to the wet season and as often as needed prior to the wet season.
- "Medium" priority facilities will be inspected biannually and as often as needed prior to the wet season.
As per MS4 Permit, Transportation Department cleans all MS4 facilities where there is evidence of illegal discharge. Also, the Department cleans
all MS4 facilities where the inspections reveal that storage of volume is about 25% full/above or if accumulated sediment or debris impairs the
hydraulic capacity of the facility. In addition, at minimum, as per MS4 permit requirement, the Transportation Department inspects, cleans and
maintains at least 80% of its MS4 facilities with 100% of its facilities in a two (2) year period.

Canyon Lake
In order to comply with water quality regulations enforced by the State through the local Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board, the Lake Elsinore & Canyon Lake Nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Task Force began using a state-funded grant
to begin alum water treatment in Canyon Lake in September 2013. When the alum is added to the lake, it binds immediately with the
phosphorous and effectively removes the opportunity for algae to grow. With less algae in the water, light can penetrate deeper into the
lake allowing plants to grow at the bottom while improving the overall health and water quality of the lake and fish life. The alum
treatment was a series of 5 treatments that occurred from September 2013 to September 2015. Alum treatments now take place twice a
year. The next scheduled treatments are May 2016 and September 2016.

Hydromodification
The Permittees, developed several programs that are required by the 2010 MS4 Permit, including
the Santa Ana Region Hydromodification Susceptibility Documentation Report and Mapping
Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping, the Regional Geodatabase, and Retrofit Studies. The
different programs assisted in preparing the WAP described in Section XII.B of the 2010 MS4
Permit. The Permittees completed the Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping which
delineated existing unarmored and soft-armored stream channels in the Permit Area that are
vulnerable to hydromodification from new development and significant redevelopment projects.
The mapping of the susceptible streams was completed in January 2012. The Regional
Geodatabase continues to be updated to include all of the latest information for watershed and
hydrologic subarea(s), downstream receiving waters including hydromodification susceptibility
and 303(d) listed pollutants, soil types, Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP)
areas, flood zones, District Master/Area Drainage Plans, and MS4 facilities. The Riverside County
BMP Retrofit Study was completed on January 10, 2013.
A draft WAP was submitted by the Permittees for SARWQCB approval on January 29, 2013. The
Permittees received comments from the SARWQCB on March 26, 2013 and submitted the revised
WAP on June 27, 2013. On January 29, 2014, the SAR Permittees developed a Hydromodification
Management Plan (HMP) that described how the delineation will be used on a per project,
subwatershed, and watershed basis to manage hydromodification caused by urban runoff
(XII.B.5).
The Permittees received comments from the SARWQCB on the revised WAP, HMP, and
Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping and Report on December 18, 2013 and March 21,
2014, respectively. The WAP, HMP, and Hydromodification Susceptibility Mapping and Report
were re-submitted to the SARWQCB on May 29, 2014 and again on January 7, 2015. The District,
on behalf of the Permittees, continues to meet with the SARWQCB to finalize the WAP and
supporting hydromodification documents. The WAP was submitted again on June 18, 2015.
Within six months of approval by the SARWQCB, the Permittees will implement applicable
provisions of the approved revised DAMP into the LIP for watershed-wide coordination of the
WAP (XII.B.3 and XII.B.8).

12. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
This section provides an overview of watershed specific education activities conducted by the
Permittees during the reporting period.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Riverside County NPDES Permittees have established an ongoing watershed based public
education and outreach program known as the Only Rain Down the Storm Drain Program is
transitioning. The program has undergone a re-branding effort with new logo and name; Riverside
County Watershed Protection Program. The specific objectives of the public education program
include:
Fostering a broad public awareness of water pollution concerns;
Increasing public acceptance of pollution prevention activities to curtail everyday human
behaviors that contribute to water quality problems;
Educating/informing the general public, regulators and key local government, and state
decision makers on urban runoff conditions in Riverside County; and
Promoting stewardship of local water resources in both English and Spanish.
The Riverside County Watershed Protection Program implements the public awareness objectives by
focusing on three areas of pollutant reduction/prevention:
Public behavior;
Proper management of pollutants; and
Business specific education outreach.
In addition, when attempting to make use of the finite resources available for the public education
program, the Permittees use these management goals to ensure that resources are used effectively:
Focusing on pollutants of concern specific to each watershed region;
Coordinating public education efforts with adjacent stormwater management programs and
other related education programs to share resources, coordinate outreach efforts, and avoid
costly duplication of effort; and
Adopting public education programs and objectives based on effectiveness analysis to
address changing MS4 programs and objectives.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Updating and revising brochures to capture the interest of key target audiences.
Updating the program website to cross promote key messages through other social media
vehicles.
Refreshing the logo and branding of the program to compliment a social media market.

General Community Outreach
The Watershed Protection Program participates in various community events to ensure that our
message is delivered to the largest possible municipal audience. These community events also provide
an opportunity to survey attendees and assess their public knowledge of stormwater pollution
prevention.
In addition, the Watershed Protection Program has partnered with Riverside County Waste
Management to ensure stormwater pollution prevention information is available at many HHW and
ABOP collection centers and/or events held within each of Riverside County's principal watersheds
(Santa Ana, Santa Margarita, and Whitewater). These events provide free disposal sites for common
pollutants that can impair receiving waters.
The program's urban runoff materials and promotional items are also distributed through community
cleanup partnerships with Riverside County Code Enforcement Administration, whose undertaking is
to achieve voluntary compliance in all phases of community revitalization. Staff works closely with
the community improvement specialists, ensuring that residential stormwater pollution prevention
material packets are on hand for distribution on inspection visits, complaint investigations, and at
neighborhood or community presentations.
When a complaint warranting an investigation is received, the information is entered into a database
and then followed up with an NPDES staff inspection. Following the investigation, when appropriate,
the inspector then canvasses the area with storm drain pollution prevention brochures, HHW collection
schedules and/or door hangers.
Adult Outreach
The Watershed Protection Program contracts with SGA to provide urban runoff educational
presentations to the targeted audiences.
SGA provides this outreach through workshops at major home improvement stores throughout
Riverside County. These workshops include a handout that educates the store's employees about
stormwater impacts that could occur from improper application of paint, pesticides, or fertilizers.
Attendees at the workshop also receive watershed protection information and promotional items to help
reinforce the stormwater protection message. The employees are then able to share with customers the
proper use and disposal of products that are potential storm drain pollutants. Point of purchase displays,
tear sheets, and counter displays have been installed at strategic locations to educate the public directly.
Additional details can be found in the SGA Annual Report in Appendix E.

Outreach Tools Specific to Pollutants
The Watershed Protection Program conducts a wide range of outreach activities focusing on reduction
of certain pollutants in the receiving waters. These outreach activities focus on sources of those
pollutants whether it is residential, business, municipal or some other state or federal source. Education
materials explain how everyday activities of potential sources may contribute to the pollution of
receiving waters, and encourage the sources to adopt alternative approaches to pollutant management
that will lessen or eliminate pollution-causing activities. Program efforts include providing information
on pollution prevention techniques and informing sources about the proper disposal of pollutants.

Mailing Inserts
The Watershed Protection program publicizes the dates and locations of HHW collection events
through the use of mail inserts. Inserts are included in various utility bills and special notices.
Cooperative Used Oil Program
The WRCOG is responsible for administering the Used Oil Block Cycle Grant on behalf of 17 Cities
within WRCOGs boundaries. These Cities include Banning, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona,
Eastvale, Hemet, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Perris,
Riverside, San Jacinto, Temecula, and Wildomar. The target audience is the do-it-yourselfers
(DIYers).
One of WRCOGs goals is to make it convenient for residents to recycle their used oil and to make it
easy for them to find a certified center accepting used oil. In order for these centers to be certified,
they need to apply for certification with the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB).
WRCOG contacts the non-certified centers to explain the program and hopefully interest them in
becoming a certified used motor oil collection center. The goal is to see a significant decrease in the
amount of illegally dumped motor oil through the addition of new certified centers within driving
distance of the DIYer.
WRCOG also provides secure oil containers on an as needed basis to the certified centers for
distribution among DIYers at no cost to minimize the chance of spillage and a hazardous situation.
Through WRCOG efforts including site visits, all certified centers in the County are in compliance to
state and local mandates.
The WRCOG program also includes public education. This includes hosting a booth at large venue
events, conducting surveys to see how informed the local community is regarding used oil recycling,
distributing brochures in both English and Spanish with information regarding used oil drop-off
locations, curbside programs, and other local recycling programs. The program also maintains an
English and Spanish 800 toll free number that can be used to get answers to any recycling question a
resident may have regarding, "Where is the nearest Certified Center located?" and "Where can I find a
used oil container?". The phone number is printed on all distributed materials including the oil
containers.
As mentioned, WRCOG provides brochures in Spanish, as Riverside County has a large Spanish-
speaking population that needs to be reached. By educating this group with the right information
concerning used oil recycling, WRCOG hopes an increase in used oil recycling will occur throughout
their Riverside County jurisdiction.
Western Riverside County Clean Cities Program
WRCOG created the Cleanest County in the West program to address issues relating to litter and illegal
dumping. The program was designed to assist jurisdictions in meeting the 50% diversion goals
mandated by the state legislature.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 12 – Public Education and Outreach Page 12-10
WRCOG also participates in large venue events to promote the use of alternative vehicle fuels. The
Car Care for Clean Air program's objective is to increase public awareness regarding the benefits of
proper vehicle maintenance. These events give staff an opportunity to assess how informed the local
community is regarding recycling and allows us to distribute brochures and informational flyers that
will assist people in finding the nearest recycling center.
Direct Business Outreach Activities
Restaurants and businesses that handle hazardous wastes are inspected by the Permittees, for potential
stormwater impacts from their activities. Each business is provided with educational information
specific to their typical business activities.
The County of Riverside requires all businesses in Riverside County to obtain a business license.
Billing inserts were developed for the County's Transportation and Land Management Agency's
Business License Division and included in all license renewal notices. New businesses receive
stormwater education material that is affixed to their application.
Our partnership with the County's Business License Division continues to be successful by providing
direct outreach to business owners about behaviors that contribute to water quality problems. Direct
outreach is made in the form of an insert that is issued to new business license applicants and inserted
into annual renewal reminders. The insert includes information on the OnlyRain Down the Storm
Drain program and the toll free 800 number portal used for reporting illegal

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 13 – Program Effectiveness Assessment Page 13-1
13. PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT
The Permittees regularly assess the component programs to identify improvements that will promote
the reduction of pollutants in urban runoff to the MEP while also supporting the responsible
management and allocation of the public resources available to implement their programs. A
quantitative and qualitative assessment of each Permittee's program can be found in the Permittee's
individual Annual Report.
Evaluation of the DAMP includes short-term and long-term strategies. The long-term strategy for
assessing effectiveness will focus on water quality data obtained as part of the CMP, which is
beginning its first full year of implementation during this fiscal year based upon response to
comments from the SARWQCB being delayed. This is, by necessity, a long-term strategy since the
first step will be to develop and understand baseline data. Due to the inherent variability of urban
runoff, years of monitoring data are necessary to identify statistically significant trends or draw
conclusions on program effectiveness. Additionally, because (i) there are numerous program
elements being implemented and revised concurrently, (ii) other environmental programs and
regulations indirectly impact urban runoff, e.g., pesticide regulation, and (iii) numerous other
climatological, man-made, and environmental changes occur within the watershed over time, the
ability to identify specific cause-and-effect relationships between a specific program element and/or
BMP and improvement in the quality of urban runoff is complicated, if not infeasible, in many cases.
The short-term strategy for assessing program effectiveness focuses on quantitative, indirect methods
(that is, not directly based on the quality of urban runoff or receiving water quality) of assessment.
Each year the District will collect various metrics defined in the DAMP (as provided in the Annual
Reporting Forms) to assist with program evaluation. As part of the ROWD, the Permittees will
evaluate these metrics, including water quality data, in an effort to assess overall DAMP
effectiveness. On an annual basis, the District will review the metrics to determine if any course
corrections on existing BMPs are required. Permittees utilized the CASQA Guidance for developing
these assessment measures at the following six outcome levels:
The CASQA Effectiveness Levels are:
Level 1 – Documenting activities. Level 1 Outcomes provide the program managers with direct
feedback on whether the control measures are being developed and implemented as planned and on
schedule. Level 1 Outcomes are assumed to be beneficial to water quality, reflect program
implementation, and are not indicators of the impact of implementation on the environment.
Level 2 – Raising awareness. Level 2 Outcomes provide program managers with feedback on how
effective the control measures have been in raising awareness and changing attitudes of target
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 13 – Program Effectiveness Assessment Page 13-2
audiences. Level 2 Outcomes are assumed to be beneficial to the environment as increased
awareness and attitudinal changes provide the basis for behavioral change.
Level 3 – Changing behavior. By building on Level 2, Level 3 Outcomes provide program managers
with feedback on how effective the program elements and control measures have been in motivating
target audiences to change their behaviors and implement appropriate BMPs. At Level 3, control
measures focus on providing information and incentives for target audiences to take action by
changing behavior and implementing recommended BMPs. Both quantitative (i.e., statistically
valid) and qualitative methods are used to measure behavior changes. Methods used to measure
behavior changes include those used for Level 2 Outcomes as well as direct observation via site
visits. Level 3 Outcomes may take the form of a percent and/or change in the percentage of the target
audience demonstrating that a behavior change has occurred such as an increase in number of BMPs
implemented and maintained at construction sites.
Level 4 – Reducing loads from sources. Level 4 Outcomes provide program managers with feedback
regarding reductions in the amounts of pollutants associated with specific sources resulting from the
implementation or enhancement of a BMP. If a large enough portion of the target audience is moved
to take action (Level 3), loads into the MS4 are prevented. At Level 4, programs collect data to allow
estimation of loads from pollutant sources that are prevented from being either generated or
discharged into the MS4.
Level 5 – Improving runoff quality. Level 5 Outcomes may be measured as reductions in one or
more specific pollutants, and may reflect effectiveness at a variety of scales ranging from site-
specific to programmatic. Over time, as loads are prevented from entering the MS4, urban runoff
and discharge quality are expected to improve. At Level 5, baseline measurements of runoff quality
should be measured to allow comparison. Multi-year data sets are needed to have any confidence in
the measured change.
Level 6 – Protecting receiving water quality. At Level 6, program managers will focus on Outcomes
such as compliance with water quality standards, protection of biological integrity, and beneficial
use attainment. Regardless of the outcomes targeted, receiving water quality usually reflects more
than the quality of MS4 discharges. Other influences may have a significant impact on receiving
water quality, including sanitary sewer overflows, rising groundwater, agricultural and other non-
point source discharges. Changes in receiving waters and the environment resulting from stormwater
programs may only be seen over long periods of time that allow the cumulative impacts of multiple
control measures and program elements to result in measurable change in water quality.
The programmatic effectiveness assessment document was included as a revision in the DAMP in
FY 2012-2013. The new annual reporting forms utilized in this FY Annual Report contain the
quantification of certain program elements based on the effectiveness assessment criteria in the
DAMP. These are based upon the above CASQA effectiveness levels.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 13 – Program Effectiveness Assessment Page 13-3
Effectiveness Assessment and Reporting
Section XVII.A of the 2010 MS4 Permit requires the Permittees to evaluate the effectiveness of the
Urban Runoff Management Program described in the DAMP to determine the need for any revisions
in order to reduce pollutants in MS4 discharges consistent with the MEP standard consistent with the
reporting requirements in Appendix 3, Section IV.B of the 2010 MS4 Permit.
The Permittees were required to develop a proposal for assessment of the Urban Runoff Management
Program effectiveness on an area-wide as well as jurisdiction-specific basis. Permittees utilized the
CASQA Guidance for developing these assessment measures at the six outcome levels. The
assessment measures targeted both water quality outcomes and the results of municipal enforcement
activities consistent with the requirements of Appendix 3, Section IV.B.
The following is the SAR MS4 Permittee's assessment summaries, as required and formatted under
Appendix 3 Section IV.B.2 of the 2010 SAR MS4 Permit. The progress and accomplishments of the
SAR stormwater management program are described in the Annual Report, as are recommendations
going forward.
Overall Program Assessment
The Permittee's summary of the effectiveness of implementing the DAMP is outlined in the tables
below. The information in the tables below summarize the metrics collected, the requirements of the
2010 MS4 Permit addressed by the metric, and their associated outcome levels. The data collected
for each of the measureable metrics are identified in the tables for each program and are required per
the DAMP (see DAMP Appendix O). Each measureable metric in the tables is reported in the SAR
Annual Report and assessed periodically. However, in reviewing the individual Permittee reports,
the degree of variance between the individual reports suggests significantly differing perspectives
between the Permittees, including interpretations of needed data. The Permittees recommend to the
Regional Board, the development of an alternative assessment.
Assessment of the effectiveness of BMPs established under the IC/ID program and the DAMP. The
effectiveness may be measured in terms of how successful the program has been in eliminating
IC/IDs and/or reducing pollutant loads in urban storm water runoff, including summaries of
Permittee actions to investigate and eliminate or permit IC/IDs and measures to reduce and/or
eliminate the discharge of Pollutants, including trash and debris.
As described in Table 13-1 below, 292 IC/ID reports were received from the public and Permittee
staff. Of these reported IC/IDs, two exceeded criteria that required follow-up and 18 required formal
enforcement response. Based on these metrics, it appears that the IC/ID programs implemented by
the Permittees in the SAR and described below are effective in protecting water quality.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION Section 13 – Program Effectiveness Assessment Page 13-4
The DAMP describes the discharge limitations and prohibitions applicable to the Co-Permittees MS4
Discharges to their Sources (Section 4.3), IDDE Resources (4.4), IC/ID Prevention (4.5), IC/ID
Detection and Elimination (Section 4.6), IC/ID Response and Reporting (Section 4.7), Enforcement
for IC/IDs (Section 4.8), Litter Control (Section 4.9), Sanitary Wastes (Section 4.10), and Waste
Collection programs (Section 4.11).
IC/IDs to the Co-Permittees MS4 facilities are detected and investigated through a combination of
programs and approaches targeted at a variety of the potential pollutant sources. Potential IC/IDs
involving the MS4 and the facilities, and sources tributary to them, are identified and investigated
through four types of activities. They are also identified and investigated as part of existing
Construction Site, and Industrial and Commercial Facility inspection programs. The four activities
currently used for detection of IC/ID are:
1. Dry Weather inspections;
2. Dry Season monitoring;
3. Third-party notifications; and
4. Business inspections (through the Compliance Assistance Program and Department of
Environmental Health inspections) through municipal facility inspections (IX).
The LIP provides a description of the programs and activities that the Permittees are implementing
to comply with the 2010 SAR MS4 Permit and to reduce pollutants in urban runoff to the MEP. The
LIP is the principal document that comprehensively translates the MS4 Permit requirements into
actions that the Permittees implement to manage water quality in the MS4. The Permittees LIP,
includes IC/ID Prevention (Section 4.1), IC/ID Detection and Elimination (Section 4.2), IC/ID
Response and Reporting (Section 4.3) and IC/ID Database (Section 4.4).
The CMP provides guidance and procedures for the monitoring efforts implemented to comply with
the County's three MS4 Permits. The CMP includes procedures for collection and analysis of water
quality samples at MS4 outfalls and receiving waters for a variety of constituents, as well as
coordinate monitoring efforts for regional monitoring programs, the LE/CL TMDL development,
and the MSAR TMDL development. Section 5 of the CMP supports the IC/ID Monitoring Program,
which includes the IC/ID reconnaissance and monitoring that is required for both storm event and
dry weather monitoring events at receiving waters, and is designed to be compatible with the "Illicit
Discharge, Detection, and Elimination Guidance Manual" (Center for Watershed Protection, 2004).

PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT
The Santa Ana River Clean-Up event was a very successful public education event with over nine
tons of trash collected. Most of the material collected from the event is non-anthropogenic; trash
does not appear to be a significant problem except at localized areas due to transient encampments.
This event is categorized as a CASQA Effectiveness Level 3 as it is changing behavior. An
Agreement was executed in FY 15-16, with the Public Education Consultant, but a Task Order was
not put in place due to difficulty meeting the contract requirements. The schools and business
outreach portions of the program have been delayed.
