STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RICHARD BELMUDEZ, INTERIM CITY MANAGE
DATE: JULY 28, 2026
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR THE COORDINATED
INTEGRATED MONITORING PROGRAM AND WATERSHED
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE UPPER LOS ANGELES RIVER
WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AREA FOR FISCAL YEARS (FYs) 2027-
2029
SUMMARY
On August 5, 2015, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board)
approved the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) Watershed Management Plan (WMP) and
Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (CIMP). As part of the Regional Board approval process,
the ULAR WMP group developed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to administer the CIMP
and establish a cost sharing framework for the implementation of the LIMP. Since October 20,
2015, the City Council has approved participation in the ULAR MOA to support the administration
and cost sharing of the CIMP implementation. Most recently, on June 27, 2023, the City Council
approved a three-year MOA for CIMP monitoring and reporting services covering the period from
July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize a new
three-year MOA with the option to extend for up to two (2) additional one-year terms to continue
the administration, monitoring, reporting, and cost -sharing responsibilities associated with the
CIMP and the ULAR WMP group. Rosemead's cost to participate would be $16,780 for FY 2026-
27, $16,505 for FY 2027-28, and $20,134 for FY 2028-29, totaling $53,419.
BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2012, the Regional Board adopted the 2012 National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit No. R4-2012-0175.
This was re -adopted in the 2021 Regional Phase I MS4 Permit Order No. R4-2021-0105. The 2021
MS4 Permit became effective on September 11, 2021, superseding the 2012 MS4 Permit, and
requires that the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, 85 cities
within the coastal watersheds of Los Angeles County, the Ventura County Watershed Protection
District, the County of Ventura, and 10 cities within Ventura County comply with its prescribed
elements.
The MS4 Permit identifies the local agencies (permittees) of City of Los Angeles, County of Los
Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the cities of Alhambra, Burbank, Calabasas,

Glendale, Hidden Hills, La Canada Flintridge, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead,
San Fernando, San Gabriel, San Marino, South El Monte, South Pasadena, and Temple City as
responsible for compliance with the Permit's requirements pertaining to the collective
jurisdictional area in the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area.
Compliance requirements include:
Monitoring Services: The 2021 MS4 permit requires use of a CIMP to monitor the
progress of an Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) toward meeting clean
water goals. The CIMP scope of work includes program development, establishing
monitoring stations at key waterbody outfalls, measuring pollutants and constituents at
receiving waters, monitoring stormwater and non-stormwater outfalls, developing and
tracking studies, and annual reporting to the Regional Board. There are both technical and
managerial aspects of the CIMP function, including regular laboratory work such as water
testing, and administrative interaction with the Regional Board.
Watershed Management Plan Tasks: Watershed Management Groups (WMGs) are
required to complete reporting and plan management activities as part of their WMP. This
includes annual and semi-annual reporting to the Regional Board on CIMP progress, waste
discharges, trash monitoring; refining and updating the Watershed Management Plan;
updating the WMG website, maintaining membership in the California Stormwater
Quality Association (CASQA); and paying potential fines for water quality violations.
DISCUSSION
This MOA establishes that the entities have agreed to cooperatively share and fully fund the
estimated costs of the implementation of the CIMP and WMP. This MOA would be effective
starting July 1, 2026 and will be in effect for three years up to and including June 30, 2029, with
the possibility of two, one-year extensions up to and including June 30, 2031.
As the lead for the ULAR WMG, the City of Los Angeles will complete or manage the completion
of all work under this agreement, which the agencies agree to collaboratively fund. This includes
stormwater monitoring services (sample collection in -situ measurements, laboratory analyses, and
reporting) consistent with the requirements of the approved CIMP and pursuant to the MS4 Permit
requirements and the associated WMP-related tasks, including the following:
• Preparation of the bi-annual Progress Monitoring and Annual Watershed Report to the
Regional Water Quality Control Board;
• Preparation of the Adaptive Management Plan to update the WMP;
• Implementation of the Trash Reporting and Monitoring Plan;
• Preparation of the Report of Waste Discharge;
• Completion of the load reduction strategy to comply with bacteria total maximum daily
load requirements; and
• Potential special studies in the watershed pursuant to the MS4 Permit.

The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) has been the administrator of the
ULAR since 2018 and will administer this MOA and collect funds from each individual co-
permittee for the cost sharing of CIMP and WMP services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the MOA
for the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and Watershed Management Plan for the
Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area for FYs 2027-2029.
FISCAL IMPACT
Program costs are distributed according to each permittee's land area relative to the total land area
in the ULAR Watershed. The City of Rosemead encompasses 3,310.87 acres in the watershed
which is equivalent to approximately 1.07% of the total cost -share area.
The City of Rosemead's cost to participate in the proposed MOA over the course of the next three
FYs is outlined below:
FY
Annual Implementation Costs
2026-2027
$16,780
2027-2028
$16,505
2028-2029
$20,134
TOTAL
$53,419
Most CIMP and WMP activities remain consistent year to year, however, additional tasks and
varying levels, of effort are anticipated in certain fiscal years. In FY 2026-2027, increased
monitoring activities are expected compared to FY 2027-2028. Additionally, FY 2028-2029
includes anticipated costs associated with pursing revisions to the WMP. Funding for the City's
participation in the ULAR has been included in the adopted FY 2026-2027 Budget through the
Safe Clean Water Program (Fund 231).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed action to approve the MOA has been determined to be categorically exempt from
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines pursuant
to Class 7 and Class 8 exemptions set forth in Sections 15307 and 15308. This MOA qualifies for
the exemption because it is related to actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of natural
resources and the environment with the intent of protecting and improving water quality in the Los
Angeles River and its receiving waters.

life enhancement.

appropriate, as well as the process by which such purpose or task will be
implemented. SGVCOG shall reimburse the entity responsible for
implementing the approved purpose or task with WMP-RELATED TASKS

necessary for WMP-RELATED TASKS, the PARTIES may administratively
shift these funds to be used for MONITORING SERVICES, consistent with
Sections 8(f) and 9(c).
iii. Other Uses of Contingency. A PARTY or the PARTIES may utilize all or a
portion of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency and WMP-RELATED
TASKS Contingency to pay for any penalties or fines assessed by the

issued by the Regional Board. The ULAR WMG, led by the ULAR WMG Lead
Agency, shall discuss and determine additional activities to be completed and the
implementation approach to completing those projects. The ULAR WMG will
determine which activities to pursue in accordance with the consensus process
defined in Section 9(c). Any other PARTY that does not desire to participate in an
additional activity can submit a written request to the SGVCOG that they do not
desire to be part of the activity. The non -participating PARTY will not be
responsible for its proportionate share of funds to complete the additional project,
and the cost will be recalculated amongst the remaining PARTIES.
Section 10. Indemnification. Each PARTY shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
each other PARTY, on a pro rata basis, including its special districts, their member
