covered under a Joint MS4 NPDES Permit; and
WHEREAS, these jurisdictions are currently covered under a Joint MS4 NPDES Permit
issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board; and
WHEREAS, the Joint MS4 NPDES permit requires individual municipal implementation of
stormwater best management practices to prevent or reduce pollutants in stormwater; and

activities be conducted jointly; and
WHEREAS, in May 1991 the agencies covered by the Joint MS4 NPDES permit entered into
a Program Agreement; and

all parties; and
