ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.6
TO: Mayor and Town Council February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 7-2026, approving the Amended and Restated Contra
Costa Clean Water Program Agreement
BACKGROUND
The Town of Danville operates a local Stormwater Pollution Control Program pursuant
to the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System requirements under the
Clean Water Act. The Town is a co-permittee under the Municipal Regional Stormwater
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Town of Danville has participated in the Contra Costa Clean Water Program as part
of its compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit. The Program provides
coordinated administrative, technical, and regulatory support that assists the Town in
meeting state and federal stormwater requirements.
In September 2010, the Town Council approved participation in the Contra Costa Clean
Water Program through adoption of a Program Agreement covering the period from 2010
through 2025. That agreement has since expired and has been comprehensively updated
and restated to reflect current regulatory requirements and program administration
practices.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Amended and Restated Contra Costa Clean Water Program Agreement
would continue the Town’s participation in the Contra Costa Clean Water Program and
establish an updated governing framework for the period beginning July 1, 2026, and
continuing through June 30, 2041.
The Agreement maintains the overall structure and purpose of the Program, including
joint administration of group permit obligations, coordinated regulatory reporting,
shared technical resources, and public education efforts. Updates to the Agreement
include clarification of committee structure and membership, administrative governance
provisions, and removal of responsibilities that are no longer within the scope of the
Program.
CCCWP Agreement 2 February 3, 2026
Town staff participated in the development of the updated Agreement and recommends
approval to ensure continued coordination and efficient compliance with stormwater
permit requirements.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approval of the Agreement. Program costs
will continue to be allocated through the annual Contra Costa Clean Water Program
budget process and funded through existing stormwater program revenues, consistent
with prior practice.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 7-2026 approving the Amended and Restated Contra Costa Clean
Water Program Agreement.
