FROM: Joni Pattillo, City Manager
SUBJEC Approval of Cooperative Agreement with the California State Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and Approval of Consultant Agreement for Design
Engineering Services with BKF Engineers, for the Village Parkway-Amador Valley
Boulevard Stormwater Treatment Project, CIP No. 960009
Prepared By: Mark Lander, City Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Caltrans will provide to the City of Dublin funding in the amount of $647,800 for the installation
of two water quality storm drain manholes in the Village Parkway/ Amador Valley Boulevard
neighborhood as mitigation for construction of High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes on
Interstate 680. Approval is needed by the City Council of a Cooperative Agreement with
Caltrans and also a consultant contract with BKF Engineers to complete the design for the
work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Under the terms of the Cooperative Agreement, the Caltrans $647,800 project funding is
allocated as follows:
Project Com onent State Grant Fundin
Maximum Project Desi n Reimbursement $ 63,000
Maximum Project Construction Reimbursement (Including
administration and construction mans ement $ 504,800
Contribution Towards Future Maintenance $ 80,000
TOTAL . $ 647,800
The entire project and State Revenue was budgeted in Fiscal Year 2009 -2010. Based on the
project delay by CalTrans, Staff will allocate the projected expense in the FY 2010-2011 Budget
and Capital Improvement Plan.
The City does not control the timing of the State reimbursements. In the past year the State did
issue IOU's for some vendors. It is unclear whether a future State cash flow crisis may affect
the timing of reimbursements from the State.

DESCRIPTION:
Caltrans is required to provide improvements in conjunction with State highway projects that
mitigate water quality impacts caused by new construction. Caltrans and the San Francisco
Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) have developed an In-Lieu Water
Quality Program. Under the program, Caltrans may, on State Highway projects where it is
physically or financially impractical to construct water quality measures, instead fund the
construction of offsite water quality improvements that provide an equal or better level of
treatment than would have been required for the State highway project.
The City previously completed a similar project under this program. In 2007, as mitigation for
the State Highway 84 Pigeon Pass project between Livermore and I-680, Caltrans selected the
City of Dublin to provide improvements through a cooperative agreement. The project involved
installing two stormwater treatment units as part of the Dublin Boulevard/ Dougherty Road
intersection widening project,. The treatment units were installed in March 2008; Caltrans
provided $249,060 for design, construction, and maintenance costs.
At the close of the Dougherty Road project, Caltrans informed the City that it was looking for an
additional mitigation site for impacts associated with the installation of High Occupancy Vehicle
(HOV) lanes on I-680 between I-580 and Highway 237. Caltrans and City staff developed a
second project that has been approved by the Regional Board as acceptable mitigation. The
project was added to the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Program in the 2008-2009
Fiscal Year as the Village Parkway- Amador Valley Boulevard Stormwater Treatment Project,
Project No. 960009.
The water quality improvements will consist of the installation of two underground hydrodynamic
separator stormwater treatment units, one located on Maple Drive just west of York Drive and
the second on Amador Valley Boulevard just east of Village Parkway (Attachment 1). Both units
will be located immediately upstream of the storm drain outfalls into the Zone 7 Water Agency
F-4 Flood Control Channel. These locations were chosen because the upstream storm drain
system serves the commercial area on Village Parkway between Dublin Boulevard and Amador
Valley Boulevard. This area contains numerous fast-food and takeout restaurants that,
combined with heavy pedestrian traffic, has been observed to produce an ongoing litter
problem. The treatment units use centrifugal force to separate and screen pollutants (including
trash and other floatable material, sediment and particulate matter, and oil and grease) and trap
Page 2 of 3
the pollutants within the unit. The City currently has six similar units in use at other locations and
has not experienced any problems with maintenance.
A third component of the project will be located in Caltrans right-of-way at the northbound
Interstate 680 on-ramp at Village Parkway. An existing storm drain conveying runoff from
Village Parkway and the ramp will be abandoned, and runoff will instead be directed to a
vegetated swale in the right-of-way that will filter runoff prior to discharge into the adjoining Zone
7 J-1 channel.
Under the terms of the proposed Cooperative Agreement (Attachment 2), Caltrans will
reimburse the City for design costs (up to $63,000) and construction, construction management,
and administrative overhead costs (up to $504,800). Caltrans will also provide an upfront
payment of $80,000 which is projected to cover the estimated 20-year cost of maintaining the
two stormwater treatment units (The vegetated swale will be located on Caltrans right-of-way
and will be maintained by Caltrans). The annual cost was developed by Staff based on the past
cost of maintaining existing City-owned treatment units. The maintenance costs for these units
will be tracked and funded using these special storm drain reserves provided by the Caltrans
Grant. Interest earnings will be allocated to the designated reserves and can also be used to
fund the ongoing maintenance of the units.
The City of Dublin is subject to the terms of the Municipal Regional Permit for stormwater
(MRP), adopted by the Regional Board in October 2009. The MRP contains requirements for
new trash abatement efforts by municipalities, including the requirement that an area equal to at
least 30% of a municipality's commercial/ retail area be treated by full-trash capture devices.
This would require that the City of Dublin treat 113 acres with trash-capture devices, at an
estimated cost of over $1 Million. The Regional Board has specifically approved the City of
Dublin taking credit for up to 34 acres of trash and litter treatment for the purpose of meeting
the MRP requirements as a result of this cooperative project with Caltrans. There are currently
trash capture devices in place treating approximately 88 acres (most of the devices were
installed with new development). In combination with the additional acreage added under the
cooperative project, the City will have a total of 122 treated acres and will meet the MRP trash
capture requirement.
Staff,is proposing to contract with BKF Engineers for design engineering services (Attachment
3). BKF provided the design services for the Dougherty Road/ Dublin Boulevard stormwater
treatment units, and has extensive experience in design of similar treatment units for both public
and private projects. BKF has provided a proposal in the amount of $59,828 for design services.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Residents and businesses adjacent to the project will receive noticing as the start of
construction has been scheduled.

Cooperative Agreement 4-2274
Permanent Stormwater Treatment Controls:
Project implementation would result in 26.74 acres of new and reworked impervious
areas. The Department) has proposed on-site stormwater treatment of 9.70 acres using
biofiltration strips, resulting in a 17.04 acre treatment deficit.
The Department has proposed an alternate stormwater treatment project (proposal) in
coordination with the City of Dublin2 that would treat stormwater runoff from urbanized
impervious areas. Contingent upon implementation of the following proposal summary,
the Water Board will consider full implementation of the alternative treatment proposal
as meeting the Project's outstanding 17.04 acre treatment deficit.
The Department has proposed to ensure stormwater treatment for approximately 60 acres
of impervious residential and commercial area using hydrodynamic separators in the city
of Dublin. One separator shall be installed on Maple Drive between York Drive and
Ebensburg Lane and treat stormwater from a 41-acre catchment. The second separator
shall be installed on Amador Valley Boulevard immediately southwest of the York Drive
terminus and treat a 19-acre catchment. The hydrodynamic separator devices shall be
equipped with oil sorbent materials to provide effective removal of trash, suspended
solids and petroleum-based pollutants. Additionally, the Department has proposed retrofit
of an existing culvert to provide approximately 0.51 acres of impervious area treatment
using a biofiltration swale (See #2 in this section, below, for a description).
Hydrodynamic separators are not considered by the Water Board to provide treatment of
stormwater pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP), and therefore are not
considered one-to-one alternatives for foregone MEP stormwater treatment. Additionally,
the Water Board typically will not allow alternative treatment using non-MEP
technologies, unless they are one step in a treatment train that, overall, provides MEP
treatment. Nevertheless, the Water Board is accepting the Department's current proposal
because all of the following apply:
1. On-site MEP Stormwater treatment opportunities have been maximized;
2. The Department has maximized off-site MEP stormwater treatment opportunities
as demonstrated by: 1) Inclusion of at least one off-site treatment control that
surpasses the MEP standard; and 2) Field verification by Water Board staff that
off-site stormwater treatment opportunities are exhausted.
1. The word "Department" shall have the same meaning as the word "STATE"asset forth in the Agreement.
2. The words "City of Dublin" shall have the same meaning as the word "CITY"asset forth in the Agreement.
i9~6ti9
In between Village Parkway and Interstate 680, between Dublin Boulevard and
the adjacent northbound I-680 on-ramp, the Department has identified a portion of
its right-of--way that may be retrofitted to convert a grass strip into a biofiltration
Swale. The Swale shall treat freeway and roadway stormwater runoff from
approximately 0.51 acres of impervious surface. The area currently receives
runoff only from the freeway on-ramp; however, the Department shall divert
runoff from approximately 0.28 acres of Village Parkway:
The Water Board has been working with the Department to publicize that
Department-funded stormwater treatment opportunities are available to
municipalities. At the time of this certification's issuance, the city of Dublin was
the only jurisdiction offering a feasible alternative compliance project. Water
Board staff met with Dublin city staff to confirm MEP opportunities were not
being overlooked in the proposed treatment area; and,
4. The City of Dublin shall be subject to trash control requirements as detailed in the
yet-to-be ratified Municipal Urban Regional Permit (MRP). The tentative MrP
language requires municipalities to identify five percent of the total
urban/suburban areas within their city limits and provide full capture treatment for
those areas. This level of treatment is proposed to be provided no later than four
years from adoption of the MRP. Although Dublin has indicated it intends to
claim trash treatment credit for approximately 34 of the 60 acres treated by the
proposed hydrodynamic separators, given the language in the draft MRP at the
time of this certification issuance, Caltrans sponsorship of the treatment devices
will ensure their implementation within one to on-and-a-half years of the date of
this certification, thereby providing treatment at an earlier date than may
otherwise be provided.

Modified HOV Lane Widening Project, City of Fremont, Alameda County,
Unincorporated Alameda County, and City of Milpitas, Santa Clara County
Department Project No.: EA 04-253751
Dear Ms. Chen:
We have reviewed and hereby issue water quality certification to the California Department of
Transportation (Department) for the project referenced above (hereinafter Project). The
Department has applied to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for Nationwide Permit No.
27, Wetland and Riparian Restoration and Creation Activities, pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). As such, the Department has applied to the Water Board for a
Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification that the Project will not violate State
water quality standards.
Project: The Department proposes to construct a southbound HOV lane and make related
improvements along a 21.7-mile stretch of Interstate 680 (I-680}, beginning at the I-680/State
Route 237 interchange in the city of Milpitas, Santa Clara County, and extending north through
the Alameda County cities of Fremont and Pleasanton. The northern terminus of the Project is at
the Stoneridge Drive interchange in the City of Pleasanton. Improvements related to HOV lane
construction include widening of the outside roadway shoulders, widening of eight bridges,
construction of three auxiliary lanes, installation of retaining walls and drainage systems, and
application of an asphalt overlay on the southbound ramps and mainline.
Three auxiliary lane segments connecting on-ramps and off-ramps will be constructed between
the following six freeway interchanges: Jacklin Road and Scott Creek Road; Mission Boulevard
Preserving, enhancing, and restoring the San Francisco Bay Area's waters for over SO years

(Route 262) and Durham Road (Auto Mall Parkway); and, Washington Boulevard and Mission
Boulevard (Route 238).
Bridges spanning I-680 are proposed to be widened to accommodate additional traffic lanes, at
the following locations: Calaveras Boulevard in the city of Milpitas, East Warren Avenue in the
city of Fremont, North Mission Boulevard (SR 238) in the city of Fremont, Vargas Road in
unincorporated Alameda County, as well as north and southbound bridges crossing a Department
of Water Resources pipeline just south of East Warren Avenue in the city of Fremont.
Project construction is proposed to begin during the 2008-2009 construction season and be
completed by approximately August, 2010.
Impacts: Placement of a retaining wall between Post Miles 4.3 and 4.4, north of Auto Mall
Parkway in the city of Fremont, will result in permanent impacts to 6061inear feet (0.17 acres) of
a vegetated roadside drainage ditch. The Department will permanently impact 0.006 acres of a
seasonal isolated pond to install a permanent bridge footing for I-680 bridge widening over the
DWR pipeline. The same pond, as well as three additional seasonal isolated ponds in the same
vicinity, will be temporarily impacted by construction access activities, totaling 0.042 acres.
Additionally, to create wetland and riparian habitat contiguous with Sabercat Creek in Fremont,
the Department will temporarily impact 241 linear feet (0.105 acres) of ephemeral creek.
Project implementation would result in 26.74 acres of new and reworked impervious areas.
Stormwater runoff from new and reworked impervious areas may contain hydrocarbons, metals,
volatile organic compounds, trash, and sediment at levels that may significantly impact State
waters if left untreated. Additionally, added impervious areas may result in alterations to existing
hydrologic regimes, resulting in erosion and/or changes of sediment transport in receiving waters
(hydromodification).
Mitigation: The Deparment will mitigate for temporary and permanent impacts through a
combination of on- and off-site activities.
Ye~etated drainage ditch creation: The Department will construct a retaining wall that will allow
rebuilding of the 6061inear foot drainage ditch, in-kind, adjacent its current location.
Sabercat Creek and unnamed tributary restoration and creation: The Department will restore
6601inear feet (0.72 acres) of riparian habitat, and create 0.42 acres of wetland habitat and 5.14
acres of oak woodland, along perennial Sabercat Creek and its adjacent perennial tributary. The
Sabercat Creek mitigation area is located along northbound I-680 just south of Washington
Boulevard in the city of Fremont.

As part of wetland creation and riparian restoration activities, culverted portions of Sabercat
Creek and an unnamed tributary to Sabercat Creek will be daylighted, approximately 165 and 70
linear feet, respectively, just upstream of their current underground confluence beneath I-680,
immediately east of I-680. Creek flows will be combined in the daylighted area to allow wetland
creation. To ensure adequate flows from Sabercat Creek and the unnamed tributary are
maintained to support the proposed wetland and riparian habitat within the areas of the
daylighted creeks, an overflow berm will be created at the down-gradient edge of the wetland.
The berm will allow high flows to drain to a box culvert that will route the flow back into
Sabercat Creek and flow downstream beneath I-680.
The banks of Sabercat Creek are severely eroded, and sacked concrete previously installed to
abate bank erosion has broken away from the creek banks. The Department will remove all
concrete material from the creek and use bioengineering bank stabilization techniques (e.g.,
willow mats) to stabilize the channel banks.
Permanent Stormwater Treatment Controls: Project implementation would result in 26.74 acres
of new and reworked impervious areas. The Department has proposed on-site Stormwater
treatment of 9.70 acres using biofiltration strips, resulting in a 17.04 acre treatment deficit.
The Department has proposed an alternate Stormwater treatment project (proposal) in
coordination with the City of Dublin that would treat Stormwater runoff from urbanized
impervious areas. Contingent upon implementation of the following proposal summary, the
Water Board will consider full implementation of the alternative treatment proposal as meeting
the Project's outstanding 17.04 acre treatment deficit.
The Department has proposed to ensure stonmwater treatment for approximately 60 acres of
impervious residential and commercial area using hydrodynamic separators in the city of Dublin.
One separator shall be installed on Maple Drive between York Drive and Ebensburg Lane and
treat stormwater from a 41-acre catchment. The second separator shall be installed on Amador
Valley Boulevard immediately southwest of the York Drive terminus and treat a 19-acre
catchment. The hydrodynamic separator devices shall be equipped with oil sorbent materials to
provide hydrocarbon pollutant removal. The devices must be maintained for the life of each
device to provide effective removal of trash, suspended solids and petroleum-based pollutants.
Additionally, the Department has proposed retrofit of an existing culvert to provide
approximately 0.51 acres of impervious area treatment using a biofiltration Swale (See #2 in this
section, below, for a description).

Hydrodynamic separators are not considered by the Water Board to provide treatment of
stormwater pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable) (MEP), and therefore are not
considered one-to-one alternatives for foregone MEP stormwater treatment. Additionally, the
Water Board typically will not allow alternative treatment using non-MEP technologies, unless
they are one step in a treatment train that, overall, provides MEP treatment. Nevertheless, the
Water Board is accepting the Department's current proposal because all of the following apply:
1. On-site MEP stormwater treatment opportunities have been maximized;
2. The Department has maximized off-site MEP stormwater treatment opportunities as
demonstrated by: 1) Inclusion of at least one off-site treatment control that surpasses
the MEP standazd; and 2) Field verification by Water Board staff that off-site
stormwater treatment opportunities are exhausted.
In between Village Parkway and Interstate 680, between Dublin Boulevard and the
adjacent northbound I-680 on-ramp, the Department has identified a portion of its
right-of--way that may be retrofitted to convert a grass strip into a biofiltration Swale.
The Swale shall treat freeway and roadway stormwater runoff from approximately 0.51
acres of impervious surface. The area currently receives runoff only from the freeway
on-ramp; however, the Department shall divert runoff from approximately 0.28 acres
of Village Parkway.
The Water Board has been working with the Department to publicize that Department-
funded stormwater treatment opportunities are available to municipalities. At the time
of this certification's issuance, the city of Dublin was the only jurisdiction offering a
feasible alternative compliance project. Water Board staff met with Dublin city staff to
confirm MEP opportunities were not being overlooked in the proposed treatment area;
and,
4. The city of Dublin shall be subject to trash control requirements as detailed in the yet-
to-be ratified Municipal Urban Regional Permit (MRP). The tentative MRP language
requires municipalities to identify five percent of the total urban/suburban areas within
their city limits and provide full capture treatment for those areas. This level of
treatment is proposed to be provided no later than four years from adoption of the
MRP. Although Dublin has indicated it intends to claim trash treatment credit for
approximately 34 of the 60 acres treated by the proposed hydrodynamic separators,
given the language in the draft MRP at the time of this certification issuance, Caltrans
sponsorship of the treatment devices will ensure their implementation within one to
1 Examples of treatment controls that may treat stormwater to the MEP standard include vegetated treatment
controls, such as vegetated swales and bioretention cells, as well as certain mechanical controls, such as media
filtering systems.

one-and-a-half years of the date of this certification, thereby providing treatment at an
earlier date than may otherwise be provided.
Hydromodification: The Department shall perform a Project hydromodification analysis using the
Bay Area Hydrology Model (HARM). Upon submission of a hydromodification analysis report
to the Water Board (HM Report), as described in the Hydromodification Analysis Roadway
Workplan (Workplan) (Attachment A), the Water Board will evaluate proposed mitigation for
any areas subject to potentially significant hydromodification impacts.
Wetland Tracker System: It has been determined through regional, state, and national studies
that tracking of mitigation/restoration projects must be improved to better assess the performance
of these projects, following monitoring periods that last several years. In addition, to effectively
carry out the State's No Net Loss Policy for wetlands, the State needs to closely track both
wetland losses and mitigation/restoration project success. Therefore, we require that the
Department use a standard form to provide Project information related to impacts and
mitigation/restoration measures. An electronic copy of the form and instructions can be
downloaded at: http://www.waterboards.ca.~ov/sanfraneiscobay/certs.htm. Project information
concerning impacts and mitigation/restoration will be made available at the web link:

to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in
whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable. The foregoing obligation of
Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises
