EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATION CONDITIONS
Cooperative Agreement 4-2274
Permanent Stormwater Treatment Controls:
Project implementation would result in 26.74 acres of new and reworked impervious
areas. The DepartmentT 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 stonmwater 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" as set forth in the Agreement.
2. The words "City of Dublin" shall have the same meaning as the word "CI'T'Y" as set forth in the Agreement.
19659
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:
3. 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.

Exhibit B
SCOPE OF WORK
This Scope of Work outlines the specific areas of responsibility for
environmental compliance, contract design development, construction
administration, maintenance and reporting requirements for proposed

(Attachment 1 -Location 1). The second hydrodynamic separator shall be
installed on Maple Drive between York Drive and Ebensburg Lane (Attachment
1-Unit 2 Separator) . The separator shall treat stormwater from a 41-acre
catchment (Attachment 1- Location 2). Both Contech hydrodynamic separator
devices shall be equipped with oil sorbent materials to provide hydrocarbon
pollutant removal.
B.) Within the CITY's Right of Way: CITY shall retrofit an existing culvert pipe
