HomeMy WebLinkAbout09. Gateway Cities TMDL Agmt AGENDA MEMO DATE: October 26, 2010 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Office of the City Manager By: Desi Alvarez, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THE GATEWAY CITIES COG FOR THE LOS ANGELES RIVER METALS TMDL SITE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES STUDIES RECOMMENDATION That the Mayor and City Council: 1. Approve a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) as fiduciary agent to secure services to conduct scientific studies and prepare an analysis of Site Specific Objectives (SSO) to direct implementation of the Los Angeles River and Tributaries Metals Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL); and 2. Appropriate a total of $27,080, from the General Fund to support the Los Angeles River Metals TMDL SSO studies. BACKGROUND In September of 2007, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limiting the concentration of certain metals in the Los Angeles River and its tributaries. This regulation was subsequently approved by the State Water Resources Control Board and became effective on October 29, 2008. This federally required regulation is based on potentially toxic concentrations of metals that may be “impairing” aquatic life in receiving water bodies. The 40 watershed cities, along with Los Angeles County and Caltrans, are now mandated to monitor and take actions to improve Los Angeles River water quality with respect to these metals. The TMDL identifies several voluntary studies to reduce scientific uncertainties that existed at the time of its adoption by the Board. The proposed studies should scientifically demonstrate that copper and lead, in Los Angeles River water, are less toxic than was anticipated by the Water Board when the TMDL was adopted. CITY OF DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA Los Angeles River Metals TMDL SS0 MOA October 26, 2010 Page 2 DISCUSSION The estimated cost for the SSO studies are $1,566,267, with $775,861 required in FY 2010-11, $691,983 due in FY 2011-12 and $98,423 due in FY 2012-13. The City of Los Angeles has completed some monitoring and laboratory analysis that will be used in the studies and will be credited $611,400 for work completed prior to the WER proposed work plan. Inclusive of the City of Los Angeles’ work, the cost of the studies are over $2 million. The GCCOG Board of Directors has agreed to review and approve separate consultant agreements with Larry Walker and Associates (LWA) and Flow Science Inc., for completion and oversight of the proposed SSO studies. The GCCOG has further agreed to provide 4 years of administrative services for the SSO studies, for $10,000 per year or an average burden of 1.8%. The GCCOG would authorize study tasks based on MOA commitments and funds received from each of the participating agencies. The Los Angeles River Metals TMDL requires that by January 11, 2012, 50% of the watershed areas must be compliant with the original TMDL standards during dry- weather, and 25% of the area during storm periods. This MOA provides for 38 agencies impacted by the requirements of the TMDL to undertake the SSO Study beginning this storm season and be completed within three years. Delays in beginning the study will greatly increase the potential for non-compliance with TMDL numeric (loading) objectives. Attached is a copy of the Los Angeles River Metals TMDL Site Specific Objectives (SSO) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) including Contractor Scope of Works (Exhibits A and B), a list of participating agencies (Exhibit C), and a summary of projected annual cost apportionments (Exhibit D). FISCAL IMPACT Exhibit D of the attached MOA estimates invoice amounts, for each agency, during each of the three fiscal year study periods. Section 10(e) of the MOA allows these estimates to vary if study costs increase (e.g. due to additional regulatory concerns or some of the previously committed 97% of the urban watershed area agencies do not return their MOA) or decrease (if the four declining cities subsequently decide to participate). Section 13, allows for MOA termination with 14 days notice, however, participants should anticipate that Consultant Notices to Proceed should only be issued when a substantial portion of the invoiced funds have been secured by the GCCOG. For the City of Downey the total estimated studies costs are $27,080. This expense was not previously budgeted, and will require an appropriation from the General Fund.
