CC - Item 3D - Resolution 2003-04 - Challenging The Storm Water/Urban Runoff permit for the County of LA - Box 07097
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT L. KRESS, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2003
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-04 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, RATIFYING THE FILING
OF A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE STORM WATER/URBAN RUNOFF
PERMIT FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE
INCORPORATED CITIES THEREIN, EXCEPT THE CITY OF LONG
BEACH (NPDES NO. CAS004001)
Summary:
Forty-nine local cities, Los Angeles County, the Building Industry Association, the Los
Angeles Economic Development Corporation, the Construction Industry Coalition on
Water Quality and other interested parties appealed the Municipal NPDES Permit
(Storm Water Permit) adopted by the Regional Board Water Quality Control Board in
December of 2001 to the State Water Resources Control Board ("State Board"). The
Storm Water Permit imposes substantial new and unfunded mandates that are believed
to exceed requirements under existing State and federal law, including terms requiring
the treatment of storm water to meet numerous anticipated numeric water quality
standards.
The State Water Resource Control Board denied the Cities' and Others' Petitions,
without holding a public hearing. The State Board's action has left the city with no other
viable alternative, other than to file litigation in State court to challenge the Storm Water
Permit.
Recommendation:
That the City Council ratify the filing of litigation challenging the NPDES Permit, by
joining in the suit with the ad hoc group of Los Angeles County cities known as the
Coalition for Practical Regulation (CPR) and ratify the retainer agreement with the law
firm of Rutan & Tucker for litigation services in this matter.

Fiscal Impact:
If all existing Cities within CPR who were in the Appeal to the State Board join, the cost
of litigation for CPR cities is estimated at approximately $3,000 per city.
Background:
The City is required to obtain coverage under an NPDES (National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System) Permit under the federal Clean Water Act, in order to discharge
storm water from its storm drain system. The storm water permits are issued for five-
year periods. The City is currently implementing the third five year permit. Prior storm
water permits focused on the City implementing cost-effective Best Management
Practices ("BMPs"), such as increased street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, public
education, waste-oil recycling programs, construction site run-off mitigation measures
and the installation of certain post-construction structural treatment control measures.
The latest storm water permit has "upped the ante" by requiring that our storm waters
not violate water quality objectives or standards contained in the Water Quality Control
Basin Plan for the Los Angeles Region, which in many cases will result in cities having
to comply with numeric effluent limits, irrespective of the "maximum extent practicable"
standard set forth under the Clean Water Act.
The Basin Plan for the Region was originally adopted in 1973, setting numeric
discharge standards for sewer treatment plants, oil refineries and factories. State
regulators now appear to be attempting to enforce numeric surface water quality
standards city storm water discharges from City storm drain systems, and to impose
responsibility and liability on the Cities if these numeric standards are not met. If left
unchallenged, the proposed storm water permit could be interpreted to require that
storm water meet drinking water standards in many locations.
A November 22, 2002 Guidance Memorandum from US EPA provides that municipal
storm water permits "typically can be expressed in BMP's, and that numeric limits
will be used only in rare instances". US EPA recognizes that storm water
discharges due to rainstorms are "highly variable in frequency and duration and are not
easily characterized," and that "only in rare cases will it be feasible or appropriate to
establish numeric limits" for municipal storm water discharges. US EPA further stated
that the variability in the flood control system and minimal data available, "make it
difficult to determine with precision or certainty actual or projected loadings" for the
cities. It is unclear if US EPA Region IX or the State will even follow this new national
guidance.

Incorporation of TMDLs into Permit
U.S. EPA entered into a storm water Consent Decree in Los Angeles County in 1999.
The Consent Decree mandates that EPA develop TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loads)
for 92 analytical units in the Los Angeles Basin, including TMDLs for flood control
channels, lakes, creeks and other water bodies, by 2003, with some 33 TMDLs to be
adopted by 2006, to be incorporated into the Permit. The TMDLs will set numeric limits
for cities and could include other impractical and unobtainable TMDLs, similar to the
"ZERO" Trash TMDL.
The Cities were not informed, invited or asked to become a party to the Consent
Decree, which was entered by the Federal District Court in San Francisco. This failure
to include the Cities occurred despite the fact that the Cities are being asked to fund,
implement and maintain storm water programs and devices necessary to meet the
TMDL standards.
The Storm Water Permit effectively allows for the automatic incorporation of the TMDLs
into its terms, whether or not practicable, and in spite of the existence of specific
numeric limits to be imposed on municipalities. There has been significant dialogue
within EPA Headquarters regarding the viability of the TMDL program nationwide, and
EPA has estimated a nationwide funding gap of $500 billion in unmet water quality
needs.
Major Impact on City Services and the Local Economy
Cities have consistently expressed concern that the latest Storm Water Permit will
trigger expensive storm water treatment - including chlorination to treat bacteria found
in storm water, and reverse-osmosis to remove metals, such as copper and zinc. The
Cities have also consistently expressed their concern that the costs of the storm water
treatment programs are inappropriately being shifted down to the local government
level.
Cities are already struggling to fund existing city services, and are finding it is difficult to
secure new funding sources for storm water programs. Local storm water fees and
taxes are required to comply with Proposition 218, as affirmed by the recent Appellate
Court decision in Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. the City of Salinas (2002) 98
Cal App 4'h 1351.
Caltrans Headquarters has similarly grown increasingly concerned about the costs of
meeting numeric water quality objectives for runoff from the State's freeways. In 1999,
Caltrans commissioned a study to examine the technology and costs of meeting the
new standards. The Caltrans study examined compliance with numeric limits for the
January 28, 2003
Page 4
jurisdictional boundaries under the Los Angeles NPDES Permit. The study resulted in a
projected cost of $53.6 billion to the County of Los Angeles and the urban area cities
(the desert communities and the City of Avalon were not included).
The Caltrans study has been heavily criticized by Regulators and the Environmental
Community. Thus, certain CPR Cities commissioned an independent study that
included a peer review of the Caltrans study by the University of,Southern California,
School of Engineering and School of Policy, Planning and Development. The USC
study is scheduled to be formally released in January, but confirms the calculations in
the Caltrans study that the costs of meeting water quality objectives to Los Angeles
municipalities will be in the tens of billions and as high as the hundreds of billions of
dollars. I
This USC study has verified that the Storm Water Permit, combined with the Basin Plan
and the TMDL Consent Decree, will require the advanced treatment of storm water and
urban runoff. The USC study examined various rainfall and storm water plant
scenarios, concluding that treatment costs will range between $44 billion and $283
billion for the Los Angeles region. Projected costs per household are estimated to
range between $6,670 and $41,173, over this same twenty-year period.
Major Issues with the Storm Water Permit
There are several major problems with the Los Angeles NPDES storm water permit
• Receiving Water Limitations Language
The Storm Water Permit requires that each city's runoff meet water quality objectives
and/or standards, i.e. meet "numeric" standards for storm water. Failure to comply with
numeric storm water limits will expose each city to the potential of Regional Board fines
($27,500 per day) and third-party litigation from citizen suits.
• Lack of a Legal Safe Harbor
I
The National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences and EPA
Headquarters have recognized that storm water controls are in a developmental phase,
where years of testing are required to develop cost-effective programs. Cities should
not be subject to Regional Board fines and third-party litigation during this
"developmental" phase of the storm water program because of the failure of these
programs to meet these strict standards.
January 28, 2003
Page 5
• TMDL Implementation
The permit requires compliance with TMDLs upon their incorporation into the Permit,
which can be done by the Regional Board's Executive Officer (although the trash TMDL
is presently in litigation at both the federal and State level). Placing TMDL's with
numerical limits into the municipal storm water permit, without complying with the
maximum extent practicable standard, will again inappropriately expose cities to fines
and third-party litigation for failure to meet the numeric limits.
• Unknown Costs to Implement the Programs/ Moving Away from BMPs
Cities have expressed a common frustration that the permit costs are impossible to
estimate. This problem of estimation is in part due to the fact that the Storm Water
Permit is perceived as being "open ended," as it allows for endless amendments to the
Permit by the Executive Officer to require compliance with waste load allocations
(numeric limits) developed in TMDLs. Another problem with the Permit is that the storm
water treatment programs it requires are in the "experimental" stage, with changing
technologies and techniques, thus making even more difficult to estimate. A common
frustration with the Basin Plan is its overly restrictive and unrealistic requirements,
particularly the designated "beneficial" uses set forth therein and the inappropriate and
unobtainable water quality objectives identified therein.
• Storm Water Inspection and Enforcement
The Cities are confronted with two major issues with the proposed inspection program.
The State is required to issue storm water facility permits and conduct inspections of
various industrial and commercial businesses. The State collects an annual permit fee
which in part is to be used to cover the cost of the inspections of such facilities, and has
recently nearly tripled this fee. The subject municipal NPDES permit would shift the
State's inspection responsibility down to the Cities. Yet, the State refuses to share
these permit fee revenues with the Cities. If left unchallenged, the subject permit would
require Cities to either charge another fee for inspections of State permitted facilities, or
to fund inspection costs from their own general funds.
The Permit imposes their inspection obligation on Cities by expanding and changing the
business site visitation program in the prior Permit, into a mandatory inspection program
for various industrial and commercial uses. The Clean Water Act allows each city to
inspect industrial facilities which the city determines are contributing a substantial
pollutant load to its storm drain system.
January 28, 2003

• Development Regulations/ CEQA and General Plan Requirements
The Regional Water Board has expressed its intent to require storm water development
controls on all new development, as well as what they term substantial redevelopment
(5,000 square feet of impervious surface added to commercial, office or industrial
development). In 2000, CPR successfully fought for common sense regulations in this
regard, and the State Board modified the Regional Board's SUSMP Order to make it
more reasonable to comply with.
• Lack of Regional Solutions
The Permit contains very limited language to allow the County, the cities, special
districts and private developers to improve storm water quality through the use of
"regional solutions." CPR had previously offered permit language for regional (inclusive
of watershed and sub-watershed) solutions, which would allow for more cost-effective
storm water programs.
• Prescriptive Requirements
The Permit contains a series of prescriptive requirements, including such mandates as
placing trash receptacles at every transit stop in the community, regardless of the
volume of passengers at the individual transit stop.
State Board Denies Appeal Without Hearing
The State Board agreed to take up several of our issues in February of 2002. In
correspondence dated February 25, 2002, the State Board stated it wished to "simplify
the petition process" and "inform you (the Petitioners) of the issues that the State Board
intends to focus on in drafting an order." These issues included the compliance
language and the iterative process, the prescriptive requirements, TMDL incorporation,
city storm water inspections and enforcement actions on private parties, the costs of the
municipal programs, and the SUSMP development controls.
The Cities received a notice from the State Board dated December 18, 2002, that "after
careful consideration, it is concluded that the petitions in this matter fail to raise,
substantial, new issues..." The State Board pointed to the court case in San Diego as
raising "many of the issues" in our petition, as another reason it does not want to take
up the Cities' appeal. Yet, the State Board is well aware that many of the Los Angeles
Cities' issues will not be resolved in the San Diego court case, since that case is
hampered by the fact that the San Diego cities did not exhaust their administrative
remedies by appealing their permit to the State Board, and thus have been precluded
by the Court from raising certain significant permit issues.
January 28, 2003
Page 7
The State Board letter denying the Cities Petitions also indicates that the State Board
participated in settlement meetings to discuss the issues raised by the various Petitions.
There were three settlement meetings and the State Board limited the discussions to
the Receiving Waters Limitations ("RWL") language of the Permit (despite our desire to
expand the discussions to the other agreed upon issues), and refused to seek
resolution of even the RWL issues where any resistance was provided by the
environmental community.
Staff can only conclude that the State Board is extremely concerned about the effect of
the State budget crisis and that it wished to avoid a public discussion of the problems
the Cities face in the storm water permit. It is unfortunate that neither the Regional nor
State Board saw their responsibility as the task to balance the needs of and the benefits
to the environment, with the service demands placed upon our communities.
RESOLUTION NO. 2003-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, RATIFYING THE FILING OF A
LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE STORM WATER/URBAN
RUNOFF PERMIT FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND
THE INCORPORATED CITIES THEREIN, EXCEPT THE CITY
OF LONG BEACH (NPDES NO. CAS004001)
WHEREAS, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los
Angeles Region ("Regional Board") adopted Order No. 01-182, a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit for Municipal Storm
Water and Urban Runoff Discharges within the County of Los Angeles and the
incorporated cities therein, except the City of Long Beach (hereinafter "NPDES
Permit") on December 13, 2001; and
WHEREAS, in January of 2002, forty-nine cities, including the City of Los
Angeles, as well as the County of Los Angeles, filed administrative petitions with
the State Water Resources Control Board ("State Board") challenging the validity
of the NPDES Permit on a number of grounds, including its deletion of the "Safe
Harbor" provisions that existed in the prior 1996 NPDES Permit, the
modifications to the terms of the Permit dealing with Receiving Water Limitations
and the requirement therein that would allow "numeric" limits to be imposed upon
municipalities (without compliance with the "maximum extent practicable"
standard set forth in the Clean Water Act), as well as those provisions allowing
for the automatic incorporation of total maximum daily loads ("TMDL") by the
Regional Board's Executive Officer, the failure of the Regional Board to comply
with the requirements of CEQA or to adopt terms consistent with CEQA, the
imposition of additional inspection obligations on municipalities for various
industrial and commercial facilities, and the attempt by the Regional Board to
rollback the changes that had been made to the Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan requirements ("SUSMP Requirements") by the State Board, along
1
with other objectionable terms, including various provisions which infringe upon
the local land use authority of the Cities; and
WHEREAS, although indicating in February of 2002 that it would address
a number of substantive issues raised by the administrative petitions, on
December 18, 2002, after three settlement negotiation sessions that did not lead
to a resolution of the issues, the State Board denied all of the administrative
petitions without providing a hearing Jo the public, and concluded that the
Petitions "failed to raise substantial, new issues;" and
WHEREAS, the City of. Rosemead ("City") currently supports and funds
efforts to reduce and eliminate storm water pollution. During the five year period
of the prior NPDES Permit, the City implemented additional street sweeping
efforts, increased catch basin cleaning, funded a public information program on
storm water pollution, implemented construction project inspection programs,
implemented a Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (the "SUSMP") as
modified by the State Board, completed the site visitation programs, initiated
waste-oil recycling programs and implemented various other storm water
programs; and
WHEREAS, the NPDES Permit contains various language within the
Receiving Water Limitations section (and other provisions of the Permit) which
violate the "maximum extent practicable" standard, and which in many cases,
directly or indirectly seek to impose responsibility on municipalities throughout
the County, to insure that storm water runoff into and from their storm drain
systems, does not violate water quality objectives, including numeric effluent
limits that may be adopted through the incorporation of TMDLs; and
WHEREAS, under the NPDES Permit, the City, along with 83 other
incorporated cities in Los Angeles County and the County of Los Angeles, are
required to expand existing storm water treatment programs, and to implement
2
new storm water programs which the Regional Board purports will improve the
quality of municipal storm water in a cost-effective manner. However, a cost-
benefit study was never performed by the Regional Board to illustrate that the
new programs will result in cost-effective improvements to storm water quality. In
addition, the Board did not develop or rely upon scientific data to support the
need for the numerous programs to be imposed by the new Permit; and
WHEREAS, under the new NPDES Permit, the City will be responsible for
implementing a comprehensive inspection and surveillance program of industrial
and commercial facilities to "control" storm water and non-storm water runoff
from these facilities. A recent study ordered by the United States Congress and
completed by the National Research Council of the National Academy of
Sciences recommended that storm. water programs utilize "adaptive
implementation", and recognized that cities should not be subjected to fines and
legal action while they are developing new and untested storm water programs.
The new NPDES Permit may place the Cities in a constant state of violation, and
will subject all municipalities covered by the Permit to needless lawsuits by
environmental organizations, and exposing the Cities to excessive fines. The
removal of the legal "Safe Harbor," combined with the addition of language
putting the Cities in a constant state of violation, is legally inappropriate and
fundamentally unfair; and
WHEREAS, the revised SUSMP Requirements under the new NPDES
Permit are contrary to a prior order issued by the State Board, and require the
imposition of mitigation measures that are contrary to existing State law under
the California Environmental Quality Act, and the Permit terms infringe upon
traditional local land use authority and the basic powers of local governments;
WHEREAS, the NPDES Permit goes beyond the intent of,the Clean Water
Act, and violates the California Porter-Cologne Act, by "micro managing" and
dictating specific programs and a particular manner of compliance on the Cities,
3
and by imposing requirements that are not authorized anywhere under State or
federal law; and
WHEREAS, the new NPDES Permit requires that the Cities expand the
current private property site visitation and education program to a mandatory
inspection and enforcement program, that the Cities reduce pollutants in runoff
from private industrial and commercial facilities (including federal and State
facilities) and that the Cities modify their CEQA Guidelines and their General
Plan requirements. All such requirements and programs are being mandated on
the Cities, without any provision for State funding.
WHEREAS, the actions taken by the Regional Board in adopting the
NPDES Permit are inconsistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act
and State Law, will result in the imposition of unsupportable programs on the City
and its citizenry, and will result in the imposition of numerous unfunded mandates
on the City.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. To participate with other Cities in the County with the filing of a
lawsuit challenging Regional Board Order No. 01-182, NPDES Permit No.
CAS004001, Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Storm Water and
Urban Runoff Discharges within the County of Los Angeles and the Incorporated
Cities therein, except the City of Long Beach.

Los Angeles County Cities, to advise, assist and represent the City in the filing
and in the prosecution of a lawsuit challenging Regional Board Order No. 01-182,
the Municipal NPDES Permit for Los Angeles County and the incorporated Cities
therein, except the City of Long Beach.

Re: Storm Water Regulations - Los Angeles County
Dear City Representative:
Through the informal ad hoc coalition known as the Coalition for Practical Regulation;
we have been asked to represent a number of cities in Los Angeles County, to challenge various
actions taken by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board ("Regional Board"), the
State Water Resources Control Board ("State Board") and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("USEPA") in connection with recent storm water runoff orders, regulations
and requirements. In particular, we have been asked to pursue litigation and take other legal
action to challenge a recently issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES") Permit issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, and
affirmed by the State Water Resources Control Board. With this retainer letter, the City of
City of Rosemead , a municipal corporation ("City") is retaining the law firm of Rutan &
Tucker to represent the City in such matters, and other related matters as the City may request,
pursuant to Rutan & Tucker's representation of the Coalition for Practical Regulation, and to
take all such other action as is necessary and directed by the cities' representatives in the
Coalition for Practical Regulation.
This retainer letter therefore sets forth the terms upon which the City has retained Rutan
& Tucker and also provides its consent and appropriate conflict waivers for any potential
conflicts that may be created by Rutan & Tucker's joint representation of the Cities and other
agencies entities and associations in connection therewith, and/or in its representation of other
clients on unrelated matters.
Our fees are generally based on the hourly design rates set by the firm, subject to periodic
review and change, for the various attorneys involved in handling the matter. The rates vary
depending upon the level of seniority, expertise and experience of the individuals involved.
Starting in 2003, my hourly design rate will be $335 an hour; however, because we are, in part,
227106512 1-006 7
294985.01 al2/27/02
1/15/2003
Page 2
representing existing-public entity clients, our hourly rate for purposes of this matter will be a
composite rate of $195 per hour for all attorney time. This rate of $195 per hour; however may
be adjusted upward, as approved by the City of Signal Hill.
Further, whenever possible, legal interns, law clerks; legal assistants and other
professionals with a lower billing rate will be utilized; consistent with the proper representation
of the interests of our clients in connection with this matter and without sacrificing proficiency.
In addition to fees, our clients are also billed for all necessary costs incurred in connection with
the representation, such as document copying costs, messenger service fees, telecopying fees,
long distance telephone costs, mileage, computer assisted research, filing fees, reporter fees,
expert fees and costs, administrative record fees, and other related litigation costs and out-of-
pocket expenses.
We render our statements on a monthly basis and they are payable within 30 days from
the date of the invoice. The invoices will describe the, work performed during the billing period
and the identity of the individuals providing services, as well as a break down of billed costs. It
is customary in matters of this nature that we receive a retainer as an advance against fees and
costs prior to commencing work on the matter. However, given the prior representation of Cities
who were a part of the Coalition for Practical Regulation in connection with a challenge to
Regional Board action on the Los Angeles County SUSMP, and the Administrative challenge to
the pending NPDES Permit, and given our existing relationship with other member Cities on
various other matters, no retainer amount is being requested. However, the City of Signal Hill,
on behalf of the Coalition for Practical Regulation, may be requesting a retainer amount for legal
and other expenses to be incurred by the Coalition.
Each City shall be responsible for its pro rata portion of the fees and costs per capita, i.e.,
each City is responsible for paying its share of the invoices of the total billings, on a per capita
basis. based on the number of Cities identified as participating members at the time of the
invoice, with each City paying an equal amount. If the City determines to dropout of the
Coalition, the City shall be responsible for the costs and fees incurred up to the time it withdraws
from the proceedings, including the costs and fees to effectuate the withdrawal. Monthly
invoices showing the costs and fees incurred will be sent to the City of Signal Hill, and any
portion of the retainer amount remaining, upon the conclusion of this matter, if any, will be
returned to the City within 30 days thereafter, by Signal Hill. If Cities are added to the Coalition
after the proceedings are commenced, the pro rata allocation of the City will be adjusted
downward to account for such additional parties. The City of Signal Hill has agreed to be
responsible for administering all financiaVbilling matters. ,
In accordance with the requirements of California Business and Professions Code section
6148, I wanted to advise you that Rutan & Tucker maintains errors and omissions insurance
coverage applicable to the services to be rendered as contemplated by this Agreement.
As you know, Rutan & Tucker is currently acting as legal counsel to a number of other
cities and school districts in Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside counties, as well as a large
number of other private clients. Rutan & Tucker's representation of such public and private
entities in such other matters is unrelated to its representation of the City in this matter. Rutan &
2271065121-0067
294985.01 al2R7/02
1/15/2003
Page 3
Tucker therefore reserves the right to continue to represent such parties in these unrelated matters
and any other parties in the future which may be adverse to the City, but which are unrelated to
our representation of the City in connection with the subject proceedings. Your signature below
will confirm this understanding and your waiver on behalf of the City of any such potential
conflicts.
In representing the cities and associated entities and agencies, in these proceedings, it is
our belief that the interests of all such parties, both financially and legally, will be consistent and
that we will be able to proceed with a common strategy. Yet, there is always a potential for a
conflict of interest to arise after additional facts involving the proceedings become known and/or
as a result of a divergence in interest in the future because of positions that have or may be taken
by any respondent or defendant. One of the purposes of this retainer agreement is to provide full
disclosure of the scope of our representation and to minimize any such potential conflicts.
California Rule of Professional Conduct section 3-310 provides in part that:
Rule 3-310. Avoiding The Representation Of Adverse
Interests.
m ~
(C) A member shall not, without the informed written
consent of each client:
(1) Accept representation of more than one client in
a matter in which the interests of the clients potentially conflict; or
(2) Accept or continue representation of more than
one client in a matter in which the interests of the clients actually
conflict: or
(3) Represent a client in a matter and at the same..
time in a separate matter accept as a client a person or entity whose
interest in the first matter is adverse to the client in the first matter.
(D) A member who represents two or more clients shall
not enter into an aggregate settlement of the claims of or against
the clients without the informed written consent of each client.
In accordance with Rule 3-310, please be advised that there is a potential for the interests
of the Cities and entities and agencies associated with the Cities in these proceedings, to become
adverse in the future. As an example, a potential conflict could arise if one or more of the Cities
determines to proceed with a storm water program through settlement or litigation, that is beyond
what other Cities believe is reasonable under the circumstances. Although at this time there is no
indication that such a conflict exists, and the interests of the Cities are not in anyway presently
adverse, such a potential for adverse interests exists, and could cause a different settlement or
2271065121-0067
294985.01 al2/27/02
1/15/200'
Page 4
prosecution strategy in pursing these various matters. If a conflict does occur, the City agrees
that Rutan & Tucker may continue with its representation of the City of Signal Hill and those
cities and entities that are taking positions consistent with the City of Signal Hill, with the
conflicted City or entity then being permitted to substitute in new counsel, if it so desires.
Your signature and acceptance of this retainer agreement below will constitute the City's
approval of this provision on conflicts of interest and will also permit Rutan & Tucker to
continue to represent other private and public clients who are or may be adverse to the City
presently and in the future, both in litigation and in non-litigation matters, but unrelated to the
instant proceedings, as well as to continue to represent the other cities and entities in connection
with the matters referenced herein. Of course, in the event an unwaivable conflict occurs, and
we can no longer continue to represent the City's interests, any amounts remaining in the retainer
collected by Signal Hill that are owed to the City in accordance with the above-referenced
formula, would be returned to the City, along with copies of all research requested and other
legal analysis prepared in the course of our representation of your interests in connection with
these proceedings.
Please recosnize that although there is a potential for adverse interests in the future, we
believe at this time that collective action on the part of each of the respective Cities and entities
is to their mutual advantage. It is our belief that there is a strong common interest among each of
the parties involved in the subject proceedings, which permits and allows for a coordinated
strategy in pursuing these matters. In addition, to the extent any consultants and/or expert
witnesses will be necessary to pursue these matters, at this time, we believe that a coordinated
strategy among experts and consultants will be cost effective.
We appreciate the opportunity, to serve as your attorneys and anticipate a productive and
harmonious relationship. If however, you become concerned for an), reason with the services
we have or are performing, or the fees that have been assessed to the City, we encourage you to
bring this matter to our attention immediately. If we perceive a problem with the representation.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNTEY/t)e,--J,-
RE: NPDES (STORM WATER PERMIT) LITIGATION
DATE: DECEMBER 30. 2002
The Coalition for Practical Regulation (CPR) has asked the City to join with the other
member cities to initiate litigation to challenge the storm water permit issued to all incorporated
cities in Los Angeles County except Long Beach.
The deadline for participation is January 17; 2003. As you are aware, the regular meeting
of the Council set for January 14, 2003 will not be held due to a lack of a quorum resulting from
Council attendance at the annual California Contract Cities Association Legislative Seminar in
Sacramento. Inasmuch as the anticipated costs of the litigation are 53,000 per city, and this
amount is within the City Managers purchase order authority, I have asked Bill Crowe to
authorize the City's participation in the litigation prior to the January 17, 2003 deadline.
The matter will be on the January 28, 2003 Council agenda for ratification of joinder in the
litigation and approval of the retainer agreement with Rutan & Tucker. A copy of the staff
report, Resolution and retainer agreement are enclosed for your advance review.
Please contact me if you have. any questions.

MEMORANDUM
URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
TO: CITY MANAGERS
CPR MEMBERS
FROM: KEN FARFSING
CITY MANAGER
SIGNAL HILL
SUBJECT: STATE BOARD DENIES NPDES PETITION - URGENT
ACTION NEEDED!
We received word on Friday, December 201h that the State Water Resources
Control Board denied the County/Cities/BIA/LAEDC/Playa Vista NPDES
Petition, without holding hearings. Their denial letter stated: "after careful
consideration, it is concluded that the petitions in this matter fail to raise,
substantial, new issues..."
The County/Cities/BIA/LAEDC/Playa Vista will have until January 17,
2003 to file litigation.
We will be preparing draft staff reports and resolutions authorizing litigation for
your use, should you need to obtain City Council authorization for litigation.
These draft reports and resolutions will be sent to you by e-mail by January
2rtl. If you need Council authorization for litigation, you will have to
schedule the itern on your agenda prior to January 17ih. We are
estimating the costs of litigation would be $3,000 per CPR member city
The schedule will make it difficult for cities that have their Council meetings
the week of January 61h to schedule the item. We apologize for the short
notice - it appears that the State Board is attempting to limit the number of
cities who can file litigation - by sending notice via "snail mail" and prior to
Christmas.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need
additional information.

The six petitions in this matter raise numerous issues regarding the municipal storm water permit
for Los Angeles County. Many of these issues have been raised in other petitions, addressed in
prior orders, and are the subject of ongoing litigation. Board members and staff of the State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) conducted a series of negotiation meetings aimed at
California Environmental Protection Agency
State Water Resources Control Boars

Cray Davis
Governor
Howard Gest, Esq. et al. - 2 - DEC 18 2002
resolving some of the issues by consensus among the Petitioners, the Regional Board, and
interested environmental groups. Despite several meetings and numerous communications, the
negotiations did not succeed in a consensus among major participants.
The petitions in this matter challenge permit provisions that are similar to those in numerous
other large municipal storm water permits being adopted and implemented throughout the state.
At this time, the SWRCB is engaged in litigation challenging a similar permit adopted for
San Diego County, which litigation raises many of the issues in these petitions. Moreover, the
SWRCB has already addressed the most controversial issue of the petitions, i.e., receiving water
limitations, in several orders. (See, e.g., WQ 99-05, WQ 2001-15.) The SWRCB has also .
addressed the issues regarding post-construction practices recently. (WQ 2000-11.) In light of
the inability of the SWRCB to effectuate an agreement between interested groups, and the fact
that most of these issues are the subject of prior Board orders and/or current litigation, the
SWRCB declines to issue an additional order on these issues.
After careful consideration, it is concluded that the petitions in this matter fail to raise
substantial, new issues that are appropriate for review by the SWRCB. Accordingly, the
petitions are dismissed as of this date. (See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 23, § 2052(a)(1); People v.
Bany (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 158 [239 Cal.Rptr. 349].)
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact Elizabeth Miller Jennings, Senior
Staff Counsel IV, in the SWRCB's Office of Chief Counsel, at (916) 341-5175.

RESOLUTION NO. 2003-04 - RATIFYING THE FILING OF A LAWSUIT
CHALLENGING THE STORM DRAIN WATER/URBAN RUNOFF PERMIT
FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES (NPDES NO. CAS040001)
The following Resolution was presented to the Council for adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2003-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD,
CALIFORNIA, RATIFYING THE FILING OF A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE
STORM WATER/URBAN RUNOFF PERMIT FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
AND THE INCORPORATED CITIES THEREIN, EXCEPT THE CITY OF LONG
BEACH (NPDES NO. CAS004001)
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the
Council adopt Resolution No. 2003-04. Vote resulted:
Yes:
Imperial, Taylor, Bruesch, Clark, Vasquez
No:
None
Absent:
None
Abstain:
None
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
Mayor Bruesch stated that he was shocked by the press release from the State Water Resources
Control Board indicating that all they are asking cities to do is to put a screen over the storm drain
intakes.
Councilmember Clark stated that there are 90 pollutants that we have to get out of the water,
and trash is only one of them. Mrs. Clark continued that the head of the Regional Water Quality
Control Board in an interview recently stated that all the cities need to do is create more parks, use
recycled water, and create wetlands. Mrs. Clark added that even if there was sufficient land to do that,
wetlands cannot just be created. Cities would be liable for the death of birds eating seeds from plants
that had pollutants in them from those areas, and various other unintended consequences.
Mayor Bruesch added that one proposal was to install traps into each of the storm drain
openings in Rosemead. It would prohibit the trash from entering the storm drains and remove the 1 I

immediate pollutants. Mr. Bruesch stated that this idea would be cost prohibitive as each trap was
estimated at $1000 per unit - multiply that by all the storm drains on each street and staff time to
.._>Pintain and clean the traps on a regular basis, etc.
