INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Hueso
FEBRUARY 17, 2011
An act to amend Section 13383.5 of the Water Code,
relating to stormwater. An act to amend Section
21670.3 of the Public Resources Code, relating to the San Diego
County Regional Airport Authority.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 662, as amended, Hueso. Stormwater. San
Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
The State Aeronautics Act governs the creation and operation of
airports in this state. The act provides for the establishment of
county airport land use commissions to carry out various
requirements, including the formulation of a comprehensive land use
compatibility plan to provide for the orderly growth of airports and
the area surrounding airports within the jurisdiction of the
commission, and to safeguard the general welfare of the inhabitants
within the vicinity of an airport and the public in general. The act
requires each county in which there is an airport served by a
scheduled airline, with certain exceptions, to establish an airport
land use commission. The act requires the commission to include,
within its airport land use compatibility plan, the area within the
jurisdiction of the commission surrounding any military airport for
specified purposes.
Existing law exempts the County of San Diego from the requirement
to establish a commission and, instead, makes the San Diego County
Regional Airport Authority responsible for the preparation, adoption,
and amendment of an airport land use compatibility plan for each
airport in San Diego County.
This bill would exempt from that military airport inclusion
requirement the preparation, adoption, or amendment by the authority
of an airport land use compatibility plan for the City of Coronado.
The bill would authorize the authority to include within the plan for
the city the area within the jurisdiction of the authority
surrounding any military airport.
The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the City of Coronado.
Existing law requires the State Water Resources Control Board to
develop minimum monitoring requirements for each municipality that is
required to obtain a stormwater permit, and minimum standard
monitoring requirements for industries that are required to obtain a
stormwater permit, as specified.
This bill would make several technical, nonsubstantive changes to
those provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 21670.3 of the
Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
21670.3. (a) Sections 21670 and 21670.1 do not apply to the
County of San Diego. In that county, the San Diego County Regional
Airport Authority, as established pursuant to Section 170002, shall
be responsible for the preparation, adoption, and amendment of an
airport land use compatibility plan for each airport in San Diego
County.
(b) Subdivision (b) of Section 21675 does not apply to the
preparation, adoption, or amendment of an airport land use
compatibility plan for the City of Coronado by the San Diego County
Regional Airport Authority. The San Diego County Regional Airport
Authority may include, within its airport land use compatibility plan
for the City of Coronado, the area within the jurisdiction of the
authority surrounding any military airport. This subdivision does not
give the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority any
jurisdiction or authority over the territory or operations of any
military airport.
(b)
(c) The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority
shall engage in a public collaborative planning process when
preparing and updating an airport land use compatibility plan.
SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that a
special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made
applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the
California Constitution because of the unique island location of the
City of Coronado and its proximity to large military installations.
SECTION 1. Section 13383.5 of the Water Code is
amended to read:
13383.5. (a) As used in this section, "regulated municipalities
and industries" means the municipalities and industries required to
obtain a stormwater permit under Section 402(p) of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. Sec. 1342(p)) and implementing regulations.
(b) This section only applies to regulated municipalities that
were subject to a stormwater permit on or before December 31, 2001,
and to regulated industries that are subject to the General Permit
for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities
Excluding Construction Activities.
(c) Before January 1, 2003, the state board shall develop minimum
monitoring requirements for each regulated municipality and minimum
standard monitoring requirements for regulated industries. This
program shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(1) Standardized methods for collection of stormwater samples.
(2) Standardized methods for analysis of stormwater samples.
(3) A requirement that every sample analysis under this program be
completed by a state certified laboratory or by the regulated
municipality or industry in the field in accordance with the quality
assurance and quality control protocols established pursuant to this
section.
(4) A standardized reporting format.
(5) Standard sampling and analysis programs for quality assurance
and quality control.
(6) Minimum detection limits.
(7) Annual reporting requirements for regulated municipalities and
industries.
(8) For the purposes of determining constituents to be sampled
for, sampling intervals, and sampling frequencies, to be included in
a municipal stormwater permit monitoring program, the regional board
shall consider the following information, if the regional board
determines it to be applicable:
(A) Discharge characterization monitoring data.
(B) Water quality data collected through the permit monitoring
program.
(C) Applicable water quality data collected, analyzed, and
reported by federal, state, and local agencies, and other public and
private entities.
(D) Any applicable listing under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. Sec. 1313).
(E) Applicable water quality objectives and criteria established
in accordance with the regional board basin plans, statewide plans,
and federal regulations.
(F) Reports and studies regarding source contribution of
pollutants in runoff not based on direct water quality measurements.
(d) The requirements prescribed pursuant to this section shall be
included in all stormwater permits for regulated municipalities and
industries that are reissued following development of the
requirements described in subdivision (c). Those permits shall
include these provisions on or before July 1, 2008. In a year in
which the Legislature appropriates sufficient funds for that purpose,
the state board shall make available to the public via the Internet
a summary of the results obtained from stormwater monitoring
conducted in accordance with this section.
