TO: Mayor and Town Council April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 28-2026, approving the Contra Costa Clean Water
Program Inspection Activities Agreement
BACKGROUND
The Town of Danville operates a local Stormwater Pollution Control Program pursuant
to the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements
under the Clean Water Act and is a co-permittee under the Municipal Regional
Stormwater NPDES Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
The Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit requires municipalities to conduct
inspections of certain industrial and commercial facilities and to implement illicit
discharge detection and elimination activities. In Contra Costa County, these inspection
activities are implemented through a coordinated countywide program administered by
the Contra Costa Clean Water Program.
Since 2009, the Town has participated in a group inspection program in which Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District conducts municipal stormwater inspections on behalf of
the Town. The existing inspection agreement is being updated and replaced to reflect
current permit requirements and program administration practices. The proposed Contra
Costa Clean Water Program Inspection Activities Agreement will supersede the 2009
agreement and continue inspection services beginning July 1, 2026.
DISCUSSION
Through this agreement, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District will continue to conduct
municipal stormwater inspections on behalf of the Town, including inspections of
industrial and commercial facilities, illicit discharge investigations, enforcement support,
and related reporting required under the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit.
The Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP 3.0), reissued in 2022, expanded
requirements for commercial and industrial facility inspections, including increased
inspection frequency, enhanced documentation and reporting, and additional facility
categories subject to inspection. Participation in the coordinated group inspection
CCCWP Inspection Activities Agreement 2 April 21, 2026
program allows the Town to meet these requirements efficiently and cost-effectively
through shared services rather than performing these inspections independently.
The agreement maintains the coordinated countywide inspection program that allows
stormwater inspections to be conducted concurrently with sanitary district regulatory
inspections, improving efficiency and reducing program costs. Staff recommends
approval of the agreement to ensure continued compliance with Municipal Regional
Stormwater Permit requirements.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. Costs associated with inspection services are included in the Town’s annual Contra
Costa Clean Water Program budget and funded through the Stormwater Utility
Assessment.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 28-2026, approving the Contra Costa Clean Water Program
Inspection Activities Agreement.
