Upon adoption, the Mosquito, Vector and Disease Control Benefit Assessment and the Mosquito Abatement and Vector Control Service Charge will be placed on the tax roll, so property owners can continue to pay the benefit assessment and service charge through their property tax bills for all taxable parcels. Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year Chief Administrative Officer Approved Operational Plan for the Department of Environmental Health. If approved, these requests will result in costs and revenues of $8.2 million.

On May 8, 2013, the Regional Board issued the County and other regulated Copermittees a new MS4 Permit. The new MS4 Permit, like the permits it replaced, requires the County to implement permit conditions in an enforceable manner. To meet this requirement for the original MS4, the County had adopted the Watershed Protection, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance, San Diego County Code Section , et seq. (WPO) in WEDNESDAY, MAY 13,

15 Today s proposed action is to amend the WPO, to ensure that it complies with the minimum requirements of the new MS4 Permit. Amendments needed to bring the WPO into conformance with the current MS4 Permit include updating terminology and definitions, establishing more stringent stormwater management requirements for land development projects, and prohibiting water runoff from entering the MS4 as a result of irrigation activities such as lawn or landscape watering. The ordinance has also been restructured to match the organization of the MS4 Permit and to consolidate Best Management Practice (BMP) requirements pertaining to particular categories of discharges to make it easier for the public to use and understand. The amended ordinance will enhance the quality of the environment in the County through pollution prevention supporting the Sustainable Environments Initiative in the County of San Diego s Strategic Plan. If the WPO amendment is approved for introduction on April 8, 2015, the ordinance will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for adoption on May 13, The amended WPO will go into effect 30 days after its adoption. This action will result in no change in General Fund current year costs, and no additional staff years will be required. Adoption of this ordinance, as mandated by the new MS4 Permit, will require land development projects and property owners to implement more extensive measures to eliminate or reduce the discharge of non-stormwater and pollutants in water. The MS4 Permit substantially restricts non-stormwater discharges and establishes more extensive control measures for the treatment and discharge of stormwater. Costs to project proponents, for both public and private projects, and business owners will vary depending on the nature of the project and business, but are expected to be substantial in some instances. Adopt the Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION ET. SEQ OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCES RELATING TO WATERSHED PROTECTION. WEDNESDAY, MAY 13,
