PRESENTATION AND UPDATE ON THE DISTRICT'S CLEAN WATER INITIATIVES: MARINE TERMINAL STORMWATER PLANNING AND IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING TENTH AVENUE MARINE TERMINAL, NATIONAL CITY MARINE TERMINAL AND CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District's stormwater program is a key part of the District's environmental stewardship efforts and clean water initiatives and helps ensure the District's compliance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board's Municipal Stormwater Permit.1
The District marine terminals including the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT), National City Marine Terminal (NCMT), and the Cruise Ship Terminal are three priority areas where the District is focusing stormwater resources. Maritime activities at the terminals are modernizing and increasing in capacity and workforce. To minimize environmental impacts and better align with the activities at each facility, the stormwater measures at the terminals are adapting accordingly. Significant stormwater program investment and improvements have been completed recently as a result of one-time resource allocations that were included in the FY19 budget. Additional activities are currently underway and will further the District's water quality protection efforts. District staff is looking to update the Board on the suite of improvements that occurred during FY19 and upcoming programmatic steps planned for FY20.
