Set meeting schedule for 2014 COMMITTEE ACTION: Set the meeting schedule that was attached to the agenda packet. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Action Summary January 13, 2014 Page 2 4. Provide direction regarding Collection System Operations (CSO) Facility operating under Stormwater General Industrial Permit Notice of Intent Environmental Compliance Superintendent Tim Potter explained that staff was considering filing a Notice of Termination (NOT) with the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the Collection System Operations (CSO) facility to discontinue operating under the statewide storm water Industrial General Permit (IGP), which was adopted in 1997. The IGP is in the process of being reissued with modified standards. Operating under the IGP incurs costs to comply with sampling and reporting standards and there will be a need to update the current Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). If the NOT were filed, the District would operate under the stormwater management ordinance of the City of Walnut Creek. COMMITTEE ACTION: Concurred with staff's recommendation to file the Notice of Termination to cease operation under the IGP. Suggested that staff review all permits and close unnecessary ones as needed. 5. Consider developing updated goals for the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program based on what is being done currently (rather than based on when the program was new in 1997) Household Hazardous Waste Supervisor Dave Wyatt discussed San Ramon's history of comparatively low participation. Mr. Potter suggested running an ad in the local San Ramon newspaper to try to spike participation. Member McGill noted that he was not inclined to change the goal of four percent for minimum community participation rate, but he was open to considering ways to serve the elderly and homebound, including but not limited to some sort of door -to -door program. He noted that he would be discussing the District's Household Hazardous Waste program at the upcoming Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek City Council meetings. COMMITTEE ACTION: Did not update goals for the Household Hazardous Waste program. 6. Announcements a. Next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 11 at 3 p.m. b.
