increase; and,
WHEREAS, since the initiation of the original NPDES permit issued by the Santa Ana

occurred generally on five-year terms, has increased the regulatory obligations imposed upon
the City in the implementation of the Permit, and the anticipated fifth term Permit currently
being proposed by the Santa Ana Regional Board is anticipated to increase the regulatory
compliance requirements imposed on the City during the next five years; and
WHEREAS, the City by Resolution No.3564, adopted on April 7, 2015 raised the
annual assessment from $4.26 to $10.00 per Benefit Assessment Unit for funding CSA-152;

to parcels upon which the assessment is levied; and,
WHEREAS, the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Federal Environmental

$10,000 per day by the Regional Board and up to $37,500 per day by the EPA.
