DISCUSSION Authorized by the Federal Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program was established in 1972 to mitigate pollutant discharges to waters of the United States and to maintain water quality standards. In California, this program is regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board through its nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Compliance with the NPDES permit includes the cleaning of all City -owned storm drain facilities and the removal of hazardous materials and pollutant spills that could potentially discharge into the storm drain system. The City of Santa Ana entered into an agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc., on June 20, 2017 (Agreement). The primary function of this Agreement is for City -owned storm drain facility cleaning and hazardous materials spill response. However, additional services are also provided under this Agreement for crime scene cleanup and jail cell decontamination services. Due to increased usage by the Police Department for these services, there is a need to increase the annual expenditure amount of this Agreement by $30,000. The Public Works Agency's allocation will remain at $225,000 annually for spill response and storm -drain facility cleaning. The Police Department's allocation will increase from $25,000 to $55,000 annually for crime scene cleanup and jail cell decontamination services. 25H-1
