There was discussion on the amount of time it has taken for staff to review the permits. Ms. Lawson advised with the balancing of current staff and recruitments the goals mentioned are definitely stretch goals. She noted that some of the challenges staff is facing is the fact that a lot of building departments are now accepting electronic documents and Central San is not quite there yet. Chair Hockett inquired about the revisions to the Permit Counter hours and if the adjustment has been beneficial to staff. Ms. Lawson responded that it has been productive, and the main challenges are getting staff trained as Central San has different requirements and is not uniformed. Ms. Gemmell noted that some of the numbers are higher due to back-and-forth correspondence with the homeowner, builder, etc., and that there could be significant lags in response time.

Ms. Lawson advised that it is a District standard to respond within two business days on plan reviews or requested revisions. The Committee was appreciative of the new format (graph charts and highlights) and requested staff continue with this type of update in the future. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the report. b. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) Ms. Schectel reviewed the memorandum included in the agenda materials. She advised that the Regional Monitoring Program Annual Meeting will be held on October 3 and a link will be provided to the Board Members should they choose to attend virtually. Ms. Schectel noted that an update on perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is scheduled for the November REEP meeting but staff will not have the Phase 2 collection system data available at that time so a comprehensive overview will not be made available until a later date. There was a discussion on the approach to load caps in the third nutrient permit that is currently being negotiated. Member Williams inquired if there would be a Bay-wide cap and individual cap trigger. Ms. Schectel answered that currently there will be a Bay-wide cap and individual caps, with the compliance aspect still to be determined. She also informed the Committee that she will be joining the San Francisco Estuary Institute-Aquatic Science Center (SFEI-ASC) Board and will begin her tenure in January. There was a brief discussion on recycled water. Mr. Bailey stated that the State Water Board needs to figure out how to create incentives regarding recycled water, beyond paying for recycled water. He stated that they need to make recycled water more attractive for water agencies to use recycled water in a way that does not penalize them in the future as it relates to water restrictions. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
