X.E.3. Proposal for Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan and Permit Registration Documents for Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project (Earth Resources, Inc.)

Speaker:
Michael Otavka, Director of Facilities, Planning and Construction
Quick Summary / Abstract:

Proposal from Earth Resources, Inc., for Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and registration documents for the Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project.

Rationale:
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) requires that owners of all construction projects in California involving grading or other ground-disturbing activities greater than one acre in size prepare and maintain a SWPPP. Since the construction and laydown area for the Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project will exceed one acre, a permit must be obtained, and a SWPPP developed and maintained for the duration of the project. This proposal from Earth Resources, Inc., covers the development of the SWPPP and the application for the permit only. This initial work needs to be done and the application made prior to construction work starting on the site.
Financial Impact:
$ 4,950 plus reimbursable expenses from Measure SA (Fund 21).
Recommended Motion:
Approve attached proposal from Earth Resources, Inc.,  for the Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan and permit registration documents for the Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project.
