construction of large-scale and small-scale projects to infiltrate, store, and treat stormwater and
urban runoff. The costs to construct and maintain these projects across the three WMPs are
substantial estimated to be several hundred million dollars. Similar compliance costs were
estimated in watersheds throughout the County. The resulting multi -billion dollar compliance
program served as the impetus for the Safe, Clean Water (SCW) funding program or Measure
W, which was passed by voters in 2018.
The City must ensure it complies with the MS4 Permit, TMDLs, and other water quality
objectives through the implementation of its WMPs and CIMPs, which are funded in large part
with SCW Program revenues. These include submitting SCW funding applications for water
quality infrastructure projects, constructing these projects with municipal and regional SCW
revenues, incorporating Low Impact Development (LID) controls into land development projects,
and implementing stormwater pollution prevention programs such as industrial/commercial and
construction site inspections, source investigations, public education, and staff training. These
also include monitoring of runoff from storm drain outfalls and within local waterways, as well as
annual reporting of compliance activities.
JLHA recently completed the terms of a two-year professional services agreement for MS4
NPDES compliance services on June 30, 2020. Over the past several years, the City found
JLHA to have the experience, availability, and understanding of local, regional and national
storm water issues necessary to ensure compliance with the MS4 Permit requirements.
In order to ensure compliance with the current and anticipated new MS4 Permit, it is important
that the City retain the services of JLHA to ensure continuity of implementing projects and
programs.
The key services to be performed by JLHA under the proposed agreement include, but are not
limited to the following:
• Track, educate, inspect, and ensure compliance at industrial and commercial facilities
• Implementing the Planning and Land Development Program via tracking, reviewing of
documents and plans, and inspection
• Implementing the Development Construction Program via review of compliance
documents, inspection, and training
• Implementing the Public Agency Activities Program through inventories, development of
BMPs and training
• Identifying Illicit Connections and Illegal Discharges to Storm Drains
• Implementing the Public Information and Participation Program
• Providing City Staff Training
• Preparing and Submitting Annual Reports
• Providing General NPDES MS4 Program Management to Ensure Compliance with
Permit
• Preparing Reports and Implementation Strategies

The City's means of maintaining compliance with the MS4 permit and TMDL requirements are
predicated on reducing dry and wet weather runoff volumes via implementation of Best
Management Practices (BMPs) that reduce runoff by infiltration into the ground and programs
such as water conservation, which is one of the most effective ways of reducing runoff and
associated pollutants conveyed into local receiving waters. Continued implementation of the
City's storm water management program via the services provided by JLHA will help ensure that
the City of Downey implements the measures necessary for compliance with the MS4 NPDES
Permit.
Staff recommends approval of a professional services agreement with JLHA for three years with
the option of extending the term for up to an additional two years.
