05/22/2017 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 15587 <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD <br />CITY APPROVING A WORKPLAN TO DEVELOP A GREEN <br />INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROVISION C.3.J <br />OF THE MUNICIPAL REGIONAL PERMIT <br />WHEREAS, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board's <br />Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) regulates stormwater discharges from municipal storm <br />drain systems throughout San Mateo County, including the City of Redwood City; and <br />WHEREAS, Provision C.3.j of the MRP requires each permittee to develop a <br />Green Infrastructure Plan that demonstrates how permittees will gradually shift from <br />traditional "gray' storm drain infrastructure—which channels polluted runoff directly into <br />receiving waters without treatment—to a more resilient and sustainable storm drain <br />system comprised of "green" infrastructure, which captures, stores and treats stormwater; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, the MRP also requires that Green Infrastructure Plans be collectively <br />designed to achieve specific reductions in mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) <br />within specific time horizons; and <br />WHEREAS, all permittees under the MRP are required to approve a Workplan by <br />June 30, 2017 for developing a Green Infrastructure Plan; and <br />WHEREAS, the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County <br />(C/CAG) has been working with its member agencies, including Redwood City staff <br />members to develop model green infrastructure planning documents, including a model <br />Workplan; and <br />WHEREAS, the Workplan attached to the Staff Report details the required tasks <br />to develop a Green Infrastructure Plan compliant with MRP requirements, including those <br />aspects that will be implemented by C/CAG and those by local agencies; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Redwood City is committed to complying with requirements <br />of the MRP: and <br />WHEREAS, while the cost to develop a Green Infrastructure Plan is yet to be <br />determined, it is the intent of the City of Redwood City to allocate sufficient resources to <br />ensure timely development of a Green Infrastructure Plan in accordance with MRP <br />requirements. <br />ATTY/RESO 0047/CC RESO ADOPTING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WORKPLAN RESO, N0, 15587 <br />REV: 05-15-17 PR MUFF NO. 613 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
