However, MCSTOPPP is not capable of building such a program on its own. Our strengths
are in public education and outreach, and in promoting the use of best management
practices. To develop the program described in the draft Action Plan 2000, MCSTOPPP
will need to develop long-term alliances with other entities, including the Marin County
Flood Control District (FCD) and community organizations. (The FCD, although severely
understaffed in recent years, has a history of promoting creek preservation. In the late
1970s, prior to budget cutbacks, the FCD was developing comprehensive watershed
management planning in some areas of the county.) MCSTOPPP also needs more energy,
ideas and participation from municipal staff.
During late 1995, MCSTOPPP staff and consultants met with staff from five of the 12
municipalities to discuss the program's direction and ideas for the next five years.
MCSTOPPP also held four workshops with municipal staff —on horse corrals, combined
inspections, construction and new development, and preventing recurrence of non-
stormwater discharges. During these meetings and workshops, municipal staff offered
many ideas for improving implementation and enforcement of BMPs.
Dear Ms. Hopkins,
Mill Valley

Attached is MCSTOPPP's draft Action Plan 2000. The draft outlines MCSTOPPP's
ambitious plans to help create, over the next four -and -a -half years, a bottom-up, creek -and -
Ross
wetland -oriented, community-based program to preserve and enhance Marin County's
watersheds.

Our idea is to use the results of creek surveys and habitat assessments to guide and
prioritize elements of our stormwater pollution prevention program. And we want to
Sausalito
change the program's emphasis — from achieving "baseline" regulatory compliance, to

preservation of local habitat and quality of life. We think that a focus on local creeks and
wetlands will help build popular support for the program and for pollution prevention
activities in general.
However, MCSTOPPP is not capable of building such a program on its own. Our strengths
are in public education and outreach, and in promoting the use of best management

PRE'VENIVIO
As shown in the draft Action Plan 2000, MCSTOPPP will begin working on many of these
improvements right away. But the more in-depth changes — including the transition to a
creek -and -wetland -oriented, community-based program — require more discussion, review
and planning by municipal staff, the FCD and community representatives. For these
reasons, we consider the attached draft document tq be the beginning, rather than the end,
of a planning process. A final plan should include information about dollars and positions
budgeted for the 1996-97 fiscal year, and should be completed by June 30.
Looking forward to your comments on the dram and to working with you on implementing
the fust tasks.
Very truly yours,

his ACTION PLAN 2000 will
sharpen MCSTOPPP's focus on
preserving creeks and wetlands.
It will also expand the program's out-
look, to help prevent or mitigate physi-
cal impacts to habitat (like alterations to
creeks and riparian areas) and to help
enhance creeks and wetlands.
Using this "bottom up" approach to
watershed management, MCSTOPPP will
assist, and participate in, efforts to in-
spect, assess and monitor the health of
Marin's creeks and wetlands. When
problems are identified — and particu-
larly when the problem involves water
quality — MCSTOPPP will target its re-
sources to specific, measurable actions
to resolve the problems. In this way,
real problems in Marin's creeks and
wetlands will be used to "drive" the
program's ongoing development. As we
learn more about what is affecting our
aquatic and riparian habitats, we will
do a better job of targeting our efforts.
The new ACTION PLAN 2000 will
also focus on community involvement
and participation in protecting creeks
and wetlands. This will expand the
program's resources (by coordinating
with volunteer efforts), and its effec-
tiveness (by improving surveillance and
reporting of problems). Community
involvement and participation will also
spread the word about preventing storm
water pollution, and foster ongoing
public support for MCSTOPPP.
To implement this creek -focused,
community based approach, MCSTOPPP
must develop strategic partnerships
with the Marin County Flood Control
District (FCD) and with community-
based watershed -protection groups.
As during the now -completed 2 -year
baseline period, MCSTOPPP's General
Program will coordinate stormwater
pollution prevention efforts county-
wide. The skill and dedication of mu-
nicipal staff, however, is essential to
countywide success in stopping illicit
discharges, preventing erosion, and
minimizing impacts from flood control
maintenance. Municipal staff must con-
tinue to develop expertise in imple-
menting best management practices at
businesses, on the streets, and at con-
struction sites.
Building these partnerships —
among the FCD, municipal staff, the
community and MCSTOPPP staff and
consultants — will be MCSTOPPP's top

priority during January through June,
1996 — the second half of the first year
of the 5 -year program. The following
chapter describes the partnership -
building process. Recognizing that
Marin's cities, towns and County gov-
ernment are the "front line" in the bat-
tle to preserve and enhance our envi-
ronment, that chapter is entitled:
Local Government Leads the Way.
The ACTION PLAN 2000 organizes
MCSTOPPP into four elements:
Caring for Our Creeks
This element contains the core of
MCSTOPPP's new approach. "Caring for
our Creeks" includes surveys, assess-
ment and monitoring of creeks and wet-
lands to identify problems affecting
habitat — the work of the FCD. The
same element includes municipal staff's
maintenance of streets, inlets, and
ditches. This element also covers main-
tenance of drainage systems and creeks;
and investigation and control of dis-
charges to (and alterations A creeks
and wetlands.
Building and Renewing
This element has two aspects: education
and regulation to minimize erosion and
other pollutants from construction
sites, and good site planning and devel-
opment review to insure that new proj-
ects are designed with watershed protec-
tion in mind.
Educating Ourselves At Work
EOA, Inc.
This element encompasses outreach
to, and inspection of, industrial and
commercial businesses for implementa-
tion and enforcement of BMPs.
Educating Ourselves At Home
This element covers general public
education and information dissemina-
tion, plus. targeted educational efforts
directed at solving specific pollutant
problems (e.g., improper disposal of
automotive fluids).
Each chapter includes a narrative of
MCSTOPPP's ideas for implementing
that program element. References (in
parentheses) identify specific tasks to be
carried out jointly by MCSTOPPP's Gen-
eral Program, by the municipalities, and
by other agencies. Tables show a pre-
liminary division of roles and responsi-
bilities for each task and a rough im-
plementation schedule.
The text and tables offer a broad
overview of the activities of the
MCSTOPPP General Program and the 12
Marin municipalities over the 5 -year
period. At the start of each of the five
fiscal years, the MCSTOPPP General Pro-
gram will work with each municipality's
staff to develop tasks and priorities for
the coming year. (Some of these tasks
and priorities will be common to all
municipalities; others will be specific.)
These lists of tasks and priorities, com-
bined with the General Program's an-
nual assessment and plans, will com-
prise MCSTOPPP's annual program
update.
n 1993, Marin municipalities
jointly devised a simple, effective
mechanism for getting their base-
line stormwater programs off the
ground. The existing Marin Street Light
Acquisition Joint Powers Authority
(MSLAJPA) assumed fiscal responsibil-
ity for the baseline program. Expenses
were apportioned among the munici-
palities according to a formula based on
area and population. All Marin mu-
nicipalities contributed their assigned
proportion of the program cost, ex-
pending funds from existing sources—
usually the municipal General Fund.
Municipal Public Works Directors
requested a streamlined, centralized
program that would minimize overall
costs and also minimize the additional
burden on already stretched municipal
staff. The MSLAJPA contracted plan.
ning of a 2 -year baseline program.
The 2 -year baseline Action Plan
provided municipalities with detailed
guidance for adopting a stormwater or-
dinance and for implementing basic
stormwater pollution prevention meas-
ures in each of four areas: municipal
maintenance activities, construcnon
and new development, illicit dis-

leads the way.
charge/industrial and commercial con-
trols, and public education The 2 -year
Action Plan also specified how comple-
tion of each task was to be documented.
The municipalities completed most of
the tasks on time. That centralized,
check -off -the -tasks approach was quite
effective in getting Marines stormwater
program up and running with minimal
resources.
However, most Marin Public Works
Directors agree that municipal staff
must now become more involved in
day-to-day stormwater pollution preven-
tion activities, like inspecting potential
illicit discharges, reviewing construction
plans and construction sites, and work-
ing with local businesses to implement
BMPs.
This ACTION PLAN 2000 calls for a
uniquely creek -and -wetland -focussed
stormwater program. Municipalities will
further the countywide clean stormwater
objective by aiming to preserve and en-
hance aquatic and riparian habitat in
their own jurisdiction—that is, just
downstream from their own gutters and
storm drains. The plan also calls for
more municipalities to coordinate
closely with creek -oriented organiza-
ECA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY STC MWATER POLLUTION PREVEN" N PROGRAM
tions and with the public. Municipal
staff will need to get directly involved
with this effort in their own cities and
towns.
In particular, top-level managers
and administrators will need to endorse
and direct cooperation among their
own departments — public works and
planning, but also finance, legal, police,
and fire departments — to fullyimple-
ment their own local stormwater pro-
gram.
MCSTOPPP cannot, on its own, es-
tablish a thorough, systematic program
to preserve Marin's creeks and wet-
lands. Although its ken is expanding,
MCSTOPPP will remain a stormwarer
program—the Federal Clean Water Act
and the Regional Water Quality Con-
trol Board's (Regional Board's) Basin
Plan its predominate drivers.
MCSTOPPP's creek -and -wetland -oriented
program must "plug in" to the FCD's
systematic, countywide efforts to main-
tain the physical and biological integrity
of Marin's watercourses.
To be successful, this ACTION PLAN
2000 must coincide with a renewal of
the FCD. The FCD was on the right
track in the late 1970s, as it moved
away from channelizing and culverting
creeks and toward maintenance and
enhancement of habitat values. The
District's direction was derailed, how-
ever, by budget and staffing cuts in the
wake of Proposition 13. Recent regula-
tory emphasis on "watershed manage-
ment," increased involvement by indi-
viduals and groups, and popular
sentiment for tangible, appreciable en-
EOA, Inc. i
vironmental improvements—all these
trends point toward the need for a re-
newed, habitat -oriented FCD.
Administration
MCSTOPPP's General Program will
continue to be run from a separate pro-
gram office, under the direction of the
City of San Rafael's Public Works Di-
rector. During 1996, the program will
double staffing from one to two full -
rime equivalents. (The additional staff
will be mostly dedicated to MCSTOPPP's
ongoing countywide public information
and participation effort.) Major deci-
sions regarding the MCSTOPPP General
Program will continue to be made
through the regular meetings of mu-
nicipal managers and public works di-
rectors. This arrangement has worked
well and avoided the additional expense
and bureaucracy of a separate county-
wide management committee.
The program envisioned here will
require that one additional full-time creek
naturalist be added to the County's De-
partment of Public Works, Water Resources
Engineering Section. The additional natural-
ist would work closely with that section's
creek naturalist, engineer, and technician,
and would also coordinate closely with
MCSTOPPP staff.
Funding for this additional creek naru-
talist will likely come from several different
sources — including the county's flood con-
trol zones, municipal stormwater pollution
prevention budgets, and the MCSTOPPP
General Program budget
Some municipalities (Mill Valley,
Novato, San Rafael and Sausalito) have
ACTION PLAN 2 J CHAPTER TWO ADMINISTRATION
designated staff members who have
enough responsibility and authority to
coordinate stormwater pollution pre-
vention activities across various de-
partments. Others have designated staff
from various departments to handle.
different aspects of the local program.
Except in the very smallest municipali-
ties, this division of responsibility can
result in poor internal coordination and
an unfocussed approach.
To help municipal staff build their
local programs, MCSTOPPP will help
establish and facilitate (Task 1B) regular
countywide meetings of staff involved in
particular aspects of stormwater pollu-
tion prevention. Some groups may elect
to hold meetings on a regular
(bimonthly or quarterly) schedule (Task
1A, Task 1B); other groups will be as-
sembled ad-hoc (Task 1C) as MCSTOPPP
and the municipalities tackle specific
tasks.
As examples, the following groups
might meet regularly:
0 Staff that responds to, and resolves,
illicit -discharge problems, and
0 Planners and development plan re-
viewers.
Ad-hoc groups might address:
0 Budgeting for the new local storm -
water utilities (Task 1D), and
0 Enforcement protocols (Task 1E).
Financing
One of MCSTOPPP's greatest accom-
plishments to date is the securing of
commitments from all municipalities to
participate in the program and to im-
plement their own local stormwater pol-
lution prevention program. From FY
1994-1995 to FY 1995-96, the munici-
palities roughly tripled their financial
commitment to MCSTOPPP's General
Program. San Rafael, Novato, Sausalito,
Larkspur and Mill Valley have adopted
stormwater utility fees, based on a con-
sistent $15/year/single-family residence
for the 1995-1996 fiscal year. The
County of Marin plans to follow suit in
FY 1996-1997. Some of the other mu-
nicipalities may consider stormwater
fees in the future but, for now, will fi-
nance efforts from their General Fund,
except Belvedere, which finances its
program through sewer fees.
As part of each year's annual re-
port, MCSTOPPP will compile a sum-
mary of each municipality's local
budget, staffing and sources of funds
devoted to stormwater programs (Task
2A), as well as a summary budget for
the MCSTOPPP General Program (Task
2B).
Planning
During the first six months of 1996,
MCSTOPPP will work with municipal
staff, community groups and the FCD to
review and revise this draft, conceptual
ACTION PLAN 2000 (Task 3A). The re-
view and revision process will also be
an opportunity to build consensus, in-
terest and excitement around
MCSTOPPP's creek -and -wetland -oriented
direction.
� EOA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY ST MWATER POLLUTION PREVEN ON PROGRAM
In particular, each group will need
to review its proposed role in each task,
as laid out in the tables at the end of
each of the following chapters.
Near the close of each fiscal year,
MCSTOPPP will prepare (and submit to
the Regional Board) detailed objectives
and activities for the coming year. This
will include separate, specific lists for ,
each municipality. In effect, each mu-
nicipality will participate, annually, in
preparing its own plan for the coming
year (Task 3B).
Reporting
During the baseline period,
MCSTOPPP submitted semiannual re-
ports summarizing the municipalities'
progress toward fulfilling the specified
tasks. The frequent reporting was useful
for getting municipal programs under-
way.
Beginning with the 1995-1996 fiscal
year, MCSTOPPP will switch to annual
reports for each fiscal year (Task 4A).

CHAPTER THREE
Caring for Our Creeks
CSTOPPP's General Pro-
gram, and each municipality,
will be part of a coordinated,
countywide effort to inspect, assess,
monitor and improve creek habitats.
This effort is the core of MCSTOPPP's
creek-and-werland-oriented, bottom -up -
watershed -management approach, and
will include the following components:
0 Creek surveys and habitat assess-
ments,
0 Volunteer creek monitoring,
0 A homeowner creek stewardship
program,
0 Enhanced recreational amenities
associated with creeks and wetlands,
0 Consistent countywide review of
proposed dredging and stream al-
terarions,
0 Enhanced ongoing maintenance of
streets, drainage systems and pump
stations,
0 Labelling of storm drains,
0 Education and notification in re-
sponse to finding evidence of non-
stormwater discharges,
0 Enhanced techniques for maintain-

To accomplish this ambitious pro-
gram, MCSTOPPP intends to coordinate
and integrate work to be done by the
MCSTOPPP general program, municipal
staff, and staff from the Marin County
Flood Control District (FCD).
Program implementation is contin-
gent on having a full-time creek natural-
ist available to implement key aspects of
the joint effort. MCSTOPPP will coordi-
nate with the County of Marin, the
FCD, the flood control zones, and the
municipalities to fund and fill this posi-
tion (Task 1A). MCSTOPPP will continue
to rely on current staff, and on consult-
ants, to provide engineering expertise
on best management practices, and to
coordinate the program.

MARIN COUNTY ST, MWATER POLLUTION PREVEN ')N PROGRAM
Creek Surveys and Habitat Assessments
During the summers of 1997 and
1998, the FCD, in coordination with
MCSTOPPP, will conduct pilot assess-
ments of selected creek reaches (Task
1 B). This will be a "dry run" to test the
overall concept, i.e. to determine how
data gathered from creek surveys can be
used to prioritize municipal activities
like illicit discharge controls, construc-
tion site controls, and public education.
Also during this period, the FCD and
MCSTOPPP will develop or adapt proto-
cols and manuals to guide street main-
tenance staff and volunteers in inspect-
ing and maintaining creeks (Task 1C).
MCSTOPPP will carefully document the
FCD's creek assessments and the result-
ing interagency coordination.
Based on a successful pilot pro-
gram, the FCD will begin routine data
collection and reporting beginning with
the 1998 fiscal year (Task 1D).
MCSTOPPP will assist with data man-
agement. During the following year,
MCSTOPPP will assess how well the
creek assessments have helped target its
other program activities. MCSTOPPP will
also make recommendations for further
program development (Task IE).
Volunteer Monitoring
During the same 2 -year trial period,
the FCD, assisted by MCSTOPPP, will
develop a coordinated plan for long-
term volunteer monitoring of creeks
(Task 2A). The plan will be developed
in cooperation with existing watershed -
preservation groups, and will build on
efforts elsewhere in the Bay area
EOA, Inc. i
in
(including programs associated with the
Coyote Creek Riparian Station). The
program -development process will in-
clude a workshop on creek monitoring
techniques (Task 2B) and some field
trials to determine training needs and
help develop protocols (Task 2C).
Review and confirmation of moni-
toring data.will be key to the success of
the volunteer monitoring effort. During
FY 1997-1998, MCSTOPPP will work
with the FCD to develop a process for
compiling, reviewing, storing and re-
trieving data collected by volunteers
(Task 2D). By the 1998-1999 fiscal year,
routine volunteer data collection, in-
cluding some process for data quality
assurance, should be underway (Task
2E).
Finally, MCSTOPPP will consider at-
tempting to combine volunteer moni-
toring and education into a more self-
supporting institution by creating, or
supporting, a volunteer docent program
(Task 2F).
Homeowner Stewardship
MCSTOPPP envisions a targeted pro-
gram to educate and involve owners
and renters in properties adjacent to
creeks and wetlands. Periodic mailings
would provide timely advice on prevent-
ing dumping, avoiding alterations and
intrusions, and maintaining riparian
quality. This project could also provide
an entry into the volunteer creek moni-
toring program and assist municipali-
ties (notably San Rafael) that have diffi-
culty obtaining access to some reaches
of their creeks.
ACTION PLAN 2r" CHAPTER THREE CAS"JG FOR OUR CREEKS
After After additional program planning
during early 1996 (Task 3A), MCSTOPPP
will recruit and work wird focus groups
(Task 3B) during 1996-97, before an
initial mailing (Task 3C) the following
year. The newsletter mailings (Task
3D) would continue from 1998 through
the FY 1999-2000. The stewardship
program's effectiveness would be as-
sessed (Task 3E) at that time.
Recreational Amenities
Appreciation of creeks and wet-
lands is key to their improvement and
long-term health. And people appreci-
ate creeks and wetlands most when they
have access for walking, jogging, bird -
watching or contemplation. Many
reaches of Marin's urban creeks and
wetlands are used, formally or infor-
mally, for these passive recreational ac-
tiviries.
Are there opportunities to enhance
and expand access. and with access,
education and appreciation? MCSTOPPP
and the FCD will establish liaisons
(Task 4A) with municipal parks per-
sonnel, the County Open Space Dis-
trict, and others to explore this ques-
tion, and, if possible, to identify
projects (Task 4B). Projects might be as
simple as formalizing existing trails, or
providing educational signs. The aim
would be to find funding for (Task 4C),
design (Task 4D) and construct (Task
4E) one or more projects before the end
of the 5 -year plan.
Dredging and Creek Alterations
Recently, Regional Board staff has
indicated that it will scrutinize pro-
posed flood control maintenance proj-
ects more intensely, and may decline to
provide water quality certification for
projects that do not adequately protect
aquatic habitat. MCSTOPPP will work
with the FCD to create a mechanism for
uniform and effective review of pro-
posed local flood control projects bs=
fats they reach the Regional Board.
This will also help insure chat flood
control projects are coordinated with
MCSTOPPP/ FCD creek preservation ob-
jectives.
MCSTOPPP will move quickly to es-
tablish a mutually agreeable mechanism
among its member agencies and the
FCD (Task 5A) and will review current
municipal capital improvement pro-
grams for projects that could affect wa-
ter quality or aquatic habitat (Task 5B).
During the 1996 fiscal year, the FCD
will develop, and MCSTOPPP will adopt,
criteria for evaluating these projects
(Task 5C), and, in the years following,
the FCD will review and comment on
these projects (Task 5D).
Municipal Maintenance Activities
Marin municipalities will continue
routine street sweeping and storm drain
maintenance activities (Task 6A) and
will continue -to report those activities
to the general program each month.
The general program will summarize
that data annually and will analyze any
apparent trends that could indicate the
relative effectiveness of changing prac-
! EOA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY ST' MWATER POLLUTION PREVIEW 1N PROGRAM
tices (such as changing the timing and
frequency of cleaning). (Task 6B).
During each of the five years,
MCSTOPPP will facilitate an annual
technical workshop (Task 6C). The
main purposes of these workshops will
be to:
0 Allow street crews to share front-
line experience and concerns,
0 Disseminate information about, and
demonstrate, pollution prevention
equipment, and
0 Provide training in pollution pre-
venrion techniques and implemen-
tation of BMPs.
During the remaining 1995-96 fiscal
year, MCSTOPPP will review "ground
level" municipal maintenance reporting
systems (i.e. the daily and weekly re-
ports systems to generate the monthly
totals included in reports to the Re-
gional Board) (Task 6D). In the follow-
ing year, MCSTOPPP will work with
street maintenance staff to develop and
adopt consistent countywide standards
for street sweeping, storm drain clean-
ing, and maintenance of corporation
yards (Task 6E). These performance
standards will be implemented (Task
6F) in the following years, and reviewed
annually.
Marin municipalities will plan,
fund and execute improvements to their
corporation yards (Task 6G) to elimi-
nate sources of pollutants identified
during inspections conducted in early
1995.
EOA, Inc.

Creek Maintenance
Marin municipalities plan to con-
tinue current practices of using street
crews, Marin Conservation Corps and
San Quentin work crews to remove de-
bris from creeks and to respond to ero-
sion problems (Task 7A). MCSTOPPP
will work with the FCD to determine
appropriarg criteria for reporting on
these activities, and will develop a sys-
tem for reporting and summarizing the
municipalities creek -maintenance activi-
ties (Task 7B).
MCSTOPPP will sponsor annual
workshops to train municipal staff and
others in practical aspects of creek care,
such as selective removal of woody de-
bris, and selective vegetation removal
(Task 7C). As the program develops,
MCSTOPPP and the municipalities will
set standards for frequency and tech-
nique in creek maintenance (Task 7D).
These standards will then be imple-
mented countywide (Task 7E).
Discharge Inspection and Monitoring
In early 1996, MCSTOPPP will assist
staff from the municipalities to develop
countywide performance standards
(Task 8A) for:
0 mapping and identifying outfalls to
creeks, ditches and drainage chan-
nels, and
0 conducting and documenting outfall
inspections at priority locations.
The municipalities will implement
(Task 8B) the performance standards
beginning with the 1996-97 fiscal year.
ACTION PLAN 26 - CHAPTER THREE CAI 'G FOR OUR CREEKS
It may be necessary to stage implemen-
tation to allow municipalities time to
develop the needed resources.
MCSTOPPP will review the effectiveness
of the countywide discharge monitoring
effort (Task 8C) in 2000.
Mapping/GIS
Marin municipalities are rapidly de-
veloping local GIS capabilities and are
coordinating to insure compatibility
among the municipalities' data. During
the coming two years, as these capabili-
ties develop, MCSTOPPP will coordinate
with the interagency GIS group and
assess opportunities for incorporating
watershed data (Task 9A). Depending
on the results of this assessment,
MCSTOPPP may decide to implement
GIS (Task 9B) to support other ele-
ments in the program. This could in-
clude identifying creekside homeown-
ers, tracking encroachments into
riparian zones, or linking habitat as-
sessments, and creek monitoring data
to GIS map layers. Ultimately, GIS -
based data might be used to model the
effectiveness of stormwater control
measures in reducing pollutant loads to
creeks (Task 9C).

Building and Renewing
s MCSTOPPP increases its
"bottom up" emphasis on pre-
serving creek habitat, munici-
palities will need to intensify their scru-
tiny of development and construction
projects. In particular, review of devel-
opment proposals and building plans
will need to consider near -field effects.
For example, additional pollutants and
increased runoff from a typical "small"
project may be insignificant to the
larger watershed, or to San Francisco
Bay. However, the same small project
could significantly change the immedi-
ate downstream reach of a nearby creek.
Municipalities will need to imple-
ment a comprehensive approach, en-
compassing review of small, as well as
large, projects and considering water -
quality issues in each planning phase.
To facilitate this process, planners
from each municipality will form a
committee (Task IA) and meet regularly
(bimonthly or quarterly)). During these
sessions, planners will elucidate water -
quality issues and planning techniques
by actual review of current projects
(Task 1B). This review process will be
piloted during the second year of the
program. MCSTOPPP intends that the
group will mature into q forum for sys-
tematic review of "sensitive" develop-
ment projects, bringing throughness
and countywide consistency to the de-
velopment review process. (Note: the
committee will provide mutual technical
assistance and be advisory only; mu-
nicipal planning departments and
councils will continue to make all deci-
sions regarding development in their
jurisdiction.)
Planning
During the baseline period, Marin
municipalities received and considered
sample General Plan language that
would, if adopted, enable future im-
plementing measures like zoning ordi-
nances and standard conditions of ap-
proval. Municipal staff will incorporate
appropriate language into General
Plans and ordinances as they come up
for revision (Task ZA).
All Marin municipalities have ex-
tensive powers to conduct discretionary
review of proposed projects. As the
municipalities further extend the use
these powers to promote water -quality
and aquatic -habitat -sensitive design, it
may become clear that additional ordi-
1 EOA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY Sl :MWATER POLLUTION PREVEI` ON PROGRAM
nances or other authority is needed.
MCSTOPPP will- continuously track and
analyze the effectiveness of municipal
development review authority, and, in
the plan's third and fifth years, will
formally assess the need for changes
(Task 2B).
In the fourth and fifth years of the
5 -year period, the development review
committee should review the status of
MCSTOPPP 's efforts to incorporate data
on watershed characteristics and habitat
into municipalities' geographic infor-
mation systems (Task 2C). Analysis of
this data may be useful in setting the
committee's priorities for the next pe-
riod.
Designing
MCSTOPPP will continue to use the
County Planning Department's Prop-
Dev development inventory system to
track sizable (five or more residential
units, or 5000 or more square feet of
non-residential space) development pro-
jects (Task 3A). MCSTOPPP has devel-
oped a database structure for maintain-
ing information about potential
stormwater impacts of, and mitigation
measures used in, each project.
As an interim measure, MCSTOPPP
will prepare and distribute a brief, ac-
cessible summary of design principles
for preserving creek habitat (Task 3B).
These will include setbacks, minimizing
impervious area, minimizing increases
in volume or peak flow, and encourag-
ing percolation or overland flow. The
summary will be consistent with guid.
ance previously distributed by Regional
EOA, Inc. a
Board staff and ongoing projects spon-
sored by the Bay Area Stormwater
Management Agencies Association
(BASMAA). MCSTOPPP will distribute
copies of this summary to planners in
each municipality. Planners and plan
reviewers will be encouraged to apply
these principles to small projects (such
as residential additions) as well as large
developments.
The MCSTOPPP development review
committee's review of sample projects
(Task 3C) will begin with the start of
the second year. Projects to be reviewed
will include small residential and com-
mercial projects as well as more signifi-
cant developments.
As the MCSTOPPP development re-
view committee gains experience with
joint, cooperative project reviews, it will
attempt to formalize standards or proto-
cols (Task 3D) for determining levels of
significance for project water -quality
impacts. If successful, this would help
insure ongoing countywide consistency
in evaluating impacts and requiring
mitigations. In addition, this could
make a significant contribution to
stormwater programs statewide.
In the fourth year, the development
review committee should transition to
regular, ongoing review of development
projects (Task 3E), providing mutual
technical assistance and a forum for
training new planning staff in water -
quality issues.
Constructing
Following up the successful No-
vember 1995 New Development and
ACTION PLAN 2( CHAPTER FOUR BUILDI AND RENEWING
Construction Workshop, MCSTOPPP
will sponsor annual workshops (Task
4A) for building inspectors and public
works inspectors. The workshops will
focus on erosion control techniques,
but will also cover the use of construc-
tion BMPs. The workshops will supple-
ment, but not replace, ABAG's erosion
control courses. These latter will con-
tinue to be recommended for new staff
and as occasional "refresher" and up-
date courses for experienced staff. The
workshops will emphasize state-of-the-
art techniques and materials and their
use in the field. The workshops will be
held in late summer or early fall, prior
to the start of the rainy season.
Marin municipalities will partici-
pate in an ad-hoc committee to develop
a consistent approach to wet -season
grading (Task 4B). The group might
attempt to develop criteria for sites on
which wet -season grading is prohibited
entirely, and for when grading is per-
mitted only after posting of a bond
and/or payment of fees to cover the
cost of additional inspections. Once a
consistent approach is developed, some
municipalities may choose to revise
their policies or ordinances (Task 4C).
Once the municipalities have devel-
oped a consistent approach to wet -
season grading, MCSTOPPP will prepare
an annual list of sites permitted to
grade (Task 4D). This will facilitate in.
spection of the permitted sites and en-
forcement against unpermitted grading.
MCSTOPPP will continue to distrib-
ute the series of seven "Best Manage-
ment Practices for the Construction In-
dustry" brochures (Task 4E), as well as
the regionally produced "Blueprint for a
Clean Bay" (Task 4F). MCSTOPPP previ-
ously distributed "General Notes for
Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention",
which Marin municipalities are requir-
ing to be incorporated in approved
building plans. MCSTOPPP will work
with municipal staff to update and im-
prove these notes, and to insure that
they appear on all permits issued by
each municipality (Task 4G).
In response to countywide reports
of finding concrete wash-out and other
construction materials in storm drains,
MCSTOPPP will investigate the possibil-
ity of outreach to selected groups of
vendors to distribute pollution preven-
tion information at the point-of-
purchase (Task 4H). MCSTOPPP will ini-
tially target ready -mix concrete vendors;
the effort could be expanded to include
major lumberyards and home improve-
ment centers. Wherever possible,
MCSTOPPP will coordinate outreach with
the Marin County Office of Waste
Management (COWM) and with regional
outreach coordinated by BASMAA. Task
4H will be coordinated with point-of-
purchase education programs discussed
in Chapter 5.
Through public involvement and
participation, MCSTOPPP will continue
to encourage homeowners to avoid dis-
charging wastes from home improve-
ment projects to creeks and storm
drains. (See Chapter 6).

CHAPTER FIVE
Educating ourselves
at work
Combined Inspections
Beginning now, and continuing
through June 2000, MCSTOPPP will de-
velop arrangements with other envi-
ronmental and public health agencies to
conduct stormwater inspections at a
variety of Marin businesses. These ar-
rangements will expand into a compre-
hensive program to inspect businesses
most likely to discharge pollutants.
MCSTOPPP began this process with a
November, 1995 preliminary meeting
(Task 1-A). The consensus at this meet-
ing was that (1) municipalities prefer to
combine stormwater inspections with
ongoing environmental and public
health inspections, and (2) the agencies
that conduct those ongoing inspections
are open to cooperative arrangements to
make this happen. Based on this
knowledge, MCSTOPPP will facilitate an
implementation committee (Task 1-B)
to coordinate implementation of joint
inspections countywide.
This committee will begin by com-
piling and organizing a countywide list
of local businesses that may need to be
inspected for potential stormwater dis-
charges (Task 1-C). The list will be pri-
oritized by business type (Task 1-D) and
23
associated with agencies (based on type
of business and on service area) that
could conduct stormwater inspections
(Task 1-E).
MCSTOPPP will work with the im-
plementation committee to adapt and
distribute appropriate BMP educational
pamphlets and brochures directed at
the priority types of businesses (Task 1-
F). Many good examples of these out-
reach materials are available from other
stormwater programs, and more are be-
ing developed.
Beginning in 1996, MCSTOPPP will
develop interim arrangements with in-
spectors from COWM and the County
Department of Environmental Health
(Task 1-G). At this early stage, inspec-
tors will simply notify MCSTOPPP and
the local stormwater program to con-
duct follow-up on any stormwater prob-
lems- found. Led by San Rafael, munici-
palities in the Central Marin Sanitation
Agency (CMSA) service area (San Rafael,
Corte Madera, Larkspur, Ross, San An-
selmo and Fairfax) will continue to
work with MCSTOPPP and with CMSA
inspectors to follow up on problems
noted by CMSA inspectors. The County
of Marin will respond to problems in
EOA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY ST MWATER POLLUTION PREVEN 7N PROGRAM
unincorporated Kentfield. Las Gallinas
Valley Sanitary District will continue to
work with CMSA in this regard, covering
northern San Rafael and unincorpo-
rated Marinwood. Novato will pursue a
similar, interim effort with the Novato
Sanitary District.
In the 1996-1997 fiscal year, mu-
nicipalities will begin pilot implementa.
tion of a more formal structure for joint
inspections (Task 1-H). Municipalities
will develop agreements with environ-
mental and public health agencies.
These agreements should provide for
documentation of inspections, of in-
spection results and of follow-up ac-
tions. Toward the end of the 1996-
1997, MCSTOPPP will assess the pilot
program and plan expansion to a com-
prehensive system (Task 1-I).
The first step in developing such a
comprehensive system will be for each
municipality to produce its own local
plan for participation (Task 1-J). Once
local plans are adopted—including the
necessary interagency agreements—
MCSTOPPP will sponsor a workshop to
train inspectors in stormwater inspec-
tion techniques and protocols (Task
1K). Meanwhile, MCSTOPPP will work
with the implementation committee to
expand distribution of educational
pamphlets and brochures to businesses
(Task 1-L).
Beginning in 1997, MCSTOPPP will
propose a uniform reporting format and
a computerized data management sys-
tem to systematically document inspec-
tions and the status of BMP implementa-
tion at each business inspected (Task 1-
EOA, Inc.,
74
M). This documentation system will
need to be coordinated with the needs
and capabilitities of the inspecting
agencies—a process that may take two
years or more to accomplish. Invest-
ment in such a system would pay off,
however, by facilitating follow-up and
enforcement in future years.
From 1.997 through the end of the
5 -year period, as the joint inspections
program continues to develop,
MCSTOPPP will prepare summary re-
ports of business inspections and re-
sults in each Marin municipality. (Task
1-N). These summaries will be included
in the annual reports submitted to the
Regional Board. Toward the end of the
5 -year period, MCSTOPPP will evaluate
the effectiveness of this program ele-
ment in addressing potential pollutants
from commercial and industrial busi-
nesses and make recommendations for
improvement (Task 1-0).
Enforcement Protocols
In 1994-1995, Marin municipalities
adopted ordinances which prohibit
non-stormwater discharges. These ordi-
nances, which are consistent county-
wide, also express each municipality's
authority to require businesses to im-
plement stormwater pollution preven-
tion BMPs. In 1995-1996, municipali-
ties began enforcement actions.
However, in general, enforcement has
been limited to exceptional circum-
stances. Enforcement procedures have
been worked* out case-by-case. Practices
vary significantly between municipali-
ties. Businesses owners might perceive
ACTION PLAN 2000 CHAPTER FIVE
that stormwater enforcement is incon-
sistent, or even arbitrary.
The implementation committee will
discuss and compare staff -authority for
enforcement. In some municipalities,
inspectors within the public works de-
partment may be principally responsi-
ble for enforcement; in others, commu-
nity service officers or regular police
officers may get involved. MCSTOPPP
will summarize and review each mu-
nicipal staff's authority for stormwater
enforcement (Task 2A) in the FY 1995-
1996 annual report.
During 1996-1997, municipalities
will update and revise staff assignments
and protocols for enforcement (Task
2B). MCSTOPPP's General Program will
facilitate countywide consistency in the
way that illicit discharge prohibitions
are enforced. After 2-3 years of imple-
mentation (Task 2C), MCSTOPPP will
assess the degree of countywide consis-
tency and how it is affecting compliance
(Task 2D).
Green Business Program
The Association of Bay Area Gov-
ernments (ABAG), in cooperation with
the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) and EPA Re-
gion 9, has developed and is beginning
to implement a Green Business Recog-
nition Program in San Francisco Bay
area cities and counties. This voluntary,
regional program will recognize busi-
nesses that demonstrate ongoing com-
pliance with all applicable environ-
mental regulations, including storm
water pollution prevention. A Green
25
EDUCATING r''RSELVES AT WORK
Business Advisory Board and environ-
mental organizations established stan-
dards for environmental performance
that will be used furing facility inspec-
tions to determine the recognition
status of a business.
The goal of the Green Business
Recognition Program is to increase
businesses' environmental compliance
by providing a consistent, coordinate
inspection and evaluation process and
assistance on pollution prevention and
resource conservation. Pilot programs
in Alameda and Napa Counties will
target automotive businesses and a sec-
ond business category in each county.
MCSTOPPP will cooperate with
ABAG, DTSC, and EPA Region 9 in fu-
ture efforts to implement a Green Busi-
ness Program in Marin County.
Mobile Cleaners
basmaa is establishing a regional
source control program for mobile
cleaners based on positive incentives.
The initial effort will focus on a subset
of mobile cleaners. basmaa has sug-
gested it may sponsor workshops, tests
on bmp implementation and recogni-
tion of specific firms, in addition to
producing outreach materials.
As a BASMAA member, MCSTOPPP
will help promote this effort, and will
work to involve mobile cleaners based
in, or working in, Marin County.
Horse Corrals
Based on the results of a November
3, 1995 meeting (Task 5A), MCSTOPPP's
approach to controlling pollutants in
EOA, Inc.
MARIN COUNTY ST ;MWATER POLLUTION PREVEK ON PROGRAM
runoff from horse stables and corrals
will be based on education, technical
assistance and voluntary compliance.
MCSTOPPP is beginning by coordinating
with the Marin County Resource Con-
servation District (RCD). Through the
RCD, MCSTOPPP will coordinate with
horse owners' association and individ-
ual horse owners to further develop a
strategy for pollutant control (Task 5B).
If Alameda County is successful in ob-
taining EPA grant funds to address this
issue, the Marin program will be timed
to take full advantage of that effort.
That strategy will include adapting
and updating educational materials
(Task 5C) and distributing them to
horse owners (Task 5D). MCSTOPPP will
offer horse owners technical assistance
in adapting BMPs to their stables and
corrals (Task 5E).
After four years, MCSTOPPP will
evaluate this approach and assess
whether it has successfully eliminated
pollutants at the "problem" locations
previously identified (Task 5F).
Mapping
MCSTOPPP will track, and coordi-
nate with, Marin municipalities' efforts
to include information about businesses
in GIS (Task 6A). As GIS comes on
line, it should be possible to link parcel
zoning data (i.e. non-residential parcels)
or business license data with stormwa-
ter inspection data. This might help
MCSTOPPP assess the thoroughness of
its commercial /industrial program.
As a further step, MCSTOPPP might
be able to identify and map commer-
EOA, Inc.
cial/industrial areas within each creek
watershed (Task 6B), and prioritize
creek reaches which might be adversely
affected by cumulative runoff pollutants
from commercial/industrial sites. As a
follow-up, it might be instructive to
compare this watershed data with the
results of creek surveys (Task 6C) and
creek monitoring (Task 6D). If GIS ca-
pabilities have advanced far enough,
MCSTOPPP will, toward the end of the 5 -
year period, attempt to assess relation-
ships between commercial/industrial
land uses and in -stream effects.

CHAPTER SIX
Educating ourselves
at home
During the 2 -year baseline program,
MCSTOPPP staff teamed up with COWM
and CMSA for several pollution -
prevention -education projects:
0 A poster, titled "Your Storm Drain:
Express Route to the Bay", which
has been widely distributed
throughout the County,
0 An oil -recycling poster displayed at
bus shelters,
0 A video shown on local cable sta-
tions,
0 Distribution of computer games,
including "EcoMasters" to schools,
and
0 Interpretive signs at hiking trail -
heads.
To increase visibility and aware-
ness, MCSTOPPP has also distributed
handouts and novelties, such as "pogs",
with the program's pollution -prevention
message. MCSTOPPP also brought to-
gether representatives of community
organizations and public agencies to
discuss public education strategy.
The Marin municipalities have
maintained storm drain labels and
stencils, which carry messages like,
"Don't Dump Here—Drains to Bay."
Most municipalities have also con-
ducted their own outreach to commu-
nity groups. Many municipalities have
also included stormwater pollution pre-
vention messages or articles in newslet-
ters and reports distributed to their
residents.
MCSTOPPP also played a leading role
in BASMAA's Public Information and
Participation committee. MCSTOPPP is
managing BASMAA's Regional Advertis-
ing Campaign.
Under the ACTION PLAN 2000,
MCSTOPPP will:
0 Increase staffing and funding de-
voted to public education,
0 Continue to build alliances with
other Marin environmental agencies
and with community groups,
0 Participate in regional strategies,
0 Make MCSTOPPP and municipal
programs more accessible to the
public
I EOA, Inc.
31
MARIN COUNTY ST MWATER POLLUTION PREVEN ON PROGRAM
0 Expand the use of low-cost,. high -
impact, local advertising and public
education opportunities, and
0 Develop on-going school-based pol-
lution prevention education pro-
grams.
These strategies will carry a general
message of watershed awareness and the
need to prevent pollution. MCSTOPPP
will also use public education to ad-
dress discharges of specific, typical pol-
lutants which have been found in
Marin's creeks and storm drains.
MCSTOPPP will develop targeted pro-
grams to address:
0 sewage spills,
0 automotive fluids,
0 construction debris,
0 swimming pool discharges, and
0 dog wastes.
Coordination
MCSTOPPP intends to begin this ex-
panded effort by hiring a full-time staff
person dedicated to public education
and community involvement (Task 1A).
One of the first priorities of this
new staff member will be to review and
summarize the plethora of environ-
mental education programs currently
underway throughout Marin County.
To facilitate this effort, and to contrib-
ute to better coordination among these
programs, it may be useful to set up an
ad-hoc "Environmental Education Co-
ordinating Committee" — including
representatives from schools, founda-
EOA, Inc.
32
tions, volunteer organizations and pub-
lic agencies — to share information and
ideas (Task 1B).
MCSTOPPP will continue to partici-
pate in regional strategies developed
through BASMAA PI/P (Task 1C).
Watershed Awareness
During the baseline period,
MCSTOPPP implemented two proven,
effective methods to enhance watershed
awareness — labelling storm drains, and
distributing door hangers, headlined
"Your Storm Drain... Express Route to
the Bay," to homes near where street
crews have found illicitly dumped mate-
rials in inlets, ditches and creeks.
In 1994, nearly every storm drain in
the County was emblazoned with a
stencil reading "No Dumping — Drains
to Bay." The municipalities, in coordi-
nation with volunteer groups, will
maintain and repaint these stencils as
needed (Task 2A). In some areas, mu-
nicipalities may choose to replace the
stencils with longer -lasting thermoplas-
tic or ceramic decals. Municipal street
crews will continue to distribute the
door hangers as needed (Task 2B)
MCSTOPPP intends to make pollu-
tion prevention information more
available to the public through two
means: first, by establishing and publi-
cizing an "800" number providing
automated answers to frequendy asked
questions (Task 2C), and second, by
creating and maintaining a home page
on the World Wide Web (Task 2D).
MCSTOPPP's public education coor-
dinator will work with teachers in se-
ACTION PLAN 2000 CHAPTER SIX
lected schools to adapt and develop cur-
riculum elements around pollution pre-
vention and creek care (Task 2E). This
will include widening the availability of
the "EcoMasters" educational game
and, possibly, deepening its impact by
developing associated homework as-
signments and classroom exercises
(Task 2F). MCSTOPPP also intends to
bring the "Kids In Creeks" program,
developed by the San Francisco Estu-
arine Institute, into Marin schools
(Task 2G).
Targeted, Education
MCSTOPPP will address the problem
of sewage spills (Task 3A) by encourag-
ing homeowners, particularly those
near creeks, to check their sewer con-
nections as part of an annual pre -rainy -
season checkup. This reminder will be
integrated with MCSTOPPP's creek stew-
ardship program. (See Chapter 3).
Automotive fluids (Task 3B) and
construction materials (Task 3C) are
the most common pollutants deliber-
ately dumped into Marin's creeks and
storm drains. MCSTOPPP will attempt to
build on COVIM's earlier efforts to dis-
tribute BMP information at the point-of-
purchase. This would involve placing,
checking and maintaining displays at
auto parts stores, hardware stores, lum-
beryards and home improvement stores.
This effort might be coordinated with
outreach to small construction contrac-
tors and with the Green Business Pro-
gram (See- Chapter 5).
MCSTOPPP will investigate a similar
point-of-purchase informational effort
33
EDUCATING ^URSELVES AT HOME
to eliminate discharges from swimming
pools (Task 31)). This will build on
MCSTOPPP's previously successful out-
reach to swimming -pool maintenance
companies.
A similar, targeted, approach might
have some effect on the problem of dog
waste (Task 3E). MCSTOPPP will explore
the possibility of distributing educa-
tional materials at per food stores and
through dog groomers.
