This report describes municipal regional stormwater permit (MRP) compliance activities conducted at the regional and countywide levels. This report incorporates by reference the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association’s (BASMAA) Regional Supplements1 to the annual report for monitoring/POCs and training and outreach. The Countywide Program Portion of the Annual Report FY 2010/11 describes MRP implementation tasks undertaken at the countywide level for the benefit of the Countywide Program’s member agencies. In response to Notices of Violation (NOV) issued to various San Mateo jurisdictions for their 2009/10 annual reports, the Countywide Program has taken several proactive steps to improve reporting for the 2010/11 fiscal year. On July 6, C/CAG sent a memo to all City/County/Town Managers alerting them to the recent NOVs and emphasizing the importance of meeting MRP requirements; this issue was discussed in person with City Managers at their July 15 and August 19 association meetings. The Countywide Program hosted a municipal training session specific to annual reporting on July 20 that was very well attended. Countywide Program staff met individually with several jurisdictions’ staffs to assist with NOV responses and review of annual reports. Although many jurisdictions will be uploading their annual reports directly to the Water Board’s ftp site this year, the Countywide Program’s consultant will upload completed annual report forms on their behalf if so desired. Although Countywide Program staff anticipates better annual reporting for Fiscal Year 2010/11, it will continue working with member agencies in the 2011/12 reporting year to further improve compliance and documentation efforts. As allowed by the Countywide Program’s procedure2, I certify under penalty of law that the Countywide Program’s Portion of Annual Report FY 2010/11 and BASMAA’s Regional Supplements to the annual report were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to ensure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.
