MSAR and LE/CL TMDL Task Force Agreements2 Agreement to form the Middle Santa Ana River Total Maximum Daily Load Task Force including making minor and non-substantive changes as necessary. BACKGROUND: The City, along with fifteen other local agencies--wide stormwater permit (Permit) issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. Each Co- Permittee owns and/or operates potions of the stormwater system through which urban runoff is discharged. The Permit approaches compliance from a regional perspective and, by and large, defines responsibilities collectively to the agencies discharging to the watersheds covered under the Permit. The City drains into the Middle Santa Ana River (MSAR) and San Jacinto Watershed. Since 2001, the Public Works Department has worked with other stakeholders to develop the most cost-effective methods to accomplish Permit required tasks. In 2006 and 2007, formal watershed specific Task Forces were formed to pool resources and eliminate redundant efforts in accomplishing the tasks applicable to each. The City entered into agreements to form the Lake Elsinore-Canyon Lake (LE/CL) and MSAR Task Forces in August 2006 and April 2007, respectively. Those agreements first expired on July 9, 2013, and the Council approved Amendment No.1 to form the LE/CL Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Task Force and the MSAR TMDL Task Force. The LE/CL TMDL Task Force and MSAR TMDL Task Force expired again on June 30, 2017, and December 21, 2017, respectively. The Council approved Amendment No.2 to form the LE/CL TMDL Task Force and the MSAR TMDL Task Force. The LE/CL TMDL Task Force and MSAR TMDL Task Force expire on June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022, and it is now desired to amend those agreements to extend the terms.
