1 The American River Basin (ARB) Stormwater Resource Plan (SWRP) Maureen Kerner, P.E. Office of Water Programs California State University, Sacramento

2 Overview What is a SWRP? SWRP Requirements Collaborating Entities The ARB SWRP Schedule

3 What is a SWRP? Manages runoff on a watershed scale Stormwater and dry weather runoff Required by Water Code /Senate Bill 985 Required to receive grants Incentive to use runoff as a resource to: Improve water quality Reduce localized flooding Increase water supplies for beneficial uses A Living Document An ongoing, adaptive program Methods to identify, plan, & implement projects

4 SWRP Requirements Incorporate into IRWMP Define Watershed(s) Describe Stakeholder Involvement Address Water Quality Compliance Quantify (Multiple) Benefits Water Quality Water Supply Flood Management Environmental Community Identify and Prioritize Projects Describe Implementation

5 Collaborating Entities Entities VFWC City of Lincoln City of Sacramento City of Folsom City of Roseville City of Elk Grove RWA City of Citrus Heights County of Sacramento Placer County SAFCA City of Auburn City of Rancho Town of Loomis City of Rocklin Cosumnes Coalition Responsibilities Attend monthly planning meetings Review draft documents Assist in stakeholder outreach Provide resources for GIS files/maps RegionalSan Sac.

7 The ARB SWRP Stakeholder Involvement Monthly planning meetings Presentations at IRWMP meetings Letter/ notifications Tribes, school districts, neighboring IRWMPs, VFWC 2018 LID/Watershed Conference OPTI tracking Water Quality Compliance TMDLs, 303(d)s, & NPDES/MS4 permits SSQP Phase I NPDES permit Statewide Phase II NPDES permit City of Sacramento CSS NPDES permit

8 The ARB SWRP Quantitative Methods Instructions for Quantifying Benefits Benefit Category Benefit Water Quality Water Supply Flood Management Environmental Community Reduction in volume of runoff discharged Reduction in runoff pollutants discharged Increase in water supply reliability through direct groundwater recharge Increase in water supply reliability through in lieu recharge/conjunctive use Increase in water supply reliability through direct use 4 Reduction in amount of potential flood water Reduction in peak flow rate of flood water Increase in area mitigated for flooding Reduction in combined sewer overflows Enhancement, creation, or protection of wetlands, riparian zones, or habitat Increased urban green space Improvement in instream flow rate Reduced energy use Reduced greenhouse gas emissions Improvement in water temperature Increase in public education Increase in public involvement Creation or enhancement of public space
