The City is required to submit an Annual Report to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board (Water Board) documenting compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater
NPDES Permit (MRP) for stormwater discharge through the City’s storm sewer system to waters of
the United States. The Report includes sections for each applicable Permit provision and follows
the annual reporting format developed by the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies
Association (BASMAA) and approved by the Regional Water Board’s Executive Officer. Each
section is comprised of data and narrative to demonstrate the progress and accomplishments
related to each permit element throughout the reporting year.
Although the City also contributes to activities undertaken by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff
Pollution Prevention Program (Program) and BASMAA, this report primarily includes detailed
information for activities that were performed solely by the City. Program and BASMAA reports are
included by reference.
The following provides an overview of the past year’s progress toward addressing each Permit
provision.
Outdoor vehicle and equipment wash area that is plumbed to the sanitary sewer system.
During this reporting year, efforts under this provision focused on appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to control and reduce non-stormwater and polluted stormwater discharges to
storm drains and waterways during operation, inspection, and routine repair, as well as
maintenance of municipal facilities and infrastructure.
The City provides staff with regular training to ensure that appropriate stormwater BMPs are
employed during applicable municipal operations and maintenance activities. BMP training was
provided for 243 municipal staff from March through May 2017. BMPs are implemented during
common operation and maintenance activities to protect storm inlets, catch basins, and nearby
waterways.
i-1
The City also provided technical assistance to municipal staff through the Environmental Services
Department intranet site, which includes links to the California Stormwater Quality Association
Handbook for Municipal Operations and the BASMAA Blueprint for a Clean Bay and Pollution
Prevention Training Program for Surface Cleaners.
The City cleans its stormwater pump station wet wells annually as part of its maintenance
program removing an average of 100 cubic yards of debris per year.
Approximately 380 cubic yards of debris were removed during the City’s annual cleaning of over
31,000 storm drain inlets in the City street right of way.
As part of its Stormwater Treatment Measure Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Inspection
Program, the City inspected 59 C.3 regulated project sites out of a total of 288 project sites during
FY 16-17 to ensure the proper maintenance and function of onsite stormwater treatment systems.
By comparison, the City inspected 76 C.3 regulated project sites in FY 15-16 under the O&M
Inspection Program.
At approximately half of the sites inspected, all installed stormwater treatment systems were found
to be in good working order. Staff worked with the property managers to ensure actions were
taken to correct any issues found at the remaining sites inspected under the O&M Inspection
Program. The City also verified proper installation of 313 newly installed stormwater treatment
systems under its Stormwater Treatment Systems Installation Verification Program.

The City has been awarded roughly four million dollars to partially fund three Green Street Pilot
Projects. The Martha Gardens Green Alleys Pilot Project was completed in August 2015 and
celebrated in October 2015 with the introduction of a green infrastructure project web site,
corresponding fact sheets, and a ribbon cutting block party to raise awareness of LID. The
remaining two projects, the Park Avenue Green Street Pilot Project and San José’s Chynoweth
Avenue Green Street Demonstration Project are scheduled to finish construction by November
2017. The City was previously awarded a grant for a green street project along Ocala Avenue but
had to cancel it due to rising construction costs which exceeded available City funding and
making the project infeasible.
Additionally, the City implemented requirements from the Green Infrastructure MRP provision by
preparing and approving, prior to June 30, 2017, a Green Infrastructure Plan Framework
(Framework) that describes specific tasks and timeframes for development of the Green
Infrastructure Plan due to be completed by September 2019. The City Council approved the
Framework on May 23, 2017. Also, the City evaluated proposed capital improvement projects for
the potential inclusion of green infrastructure and participated in trainings on green infrastructure
implementation.
The goal of the Industrial and Commercial Inspection program is to protect the storm sewer system
from polluted discharges originating from commercial and industrial facilities. The program
includes more than 7,700 businesses in its inspection inventory and provides educational materials
to business operators describing best management practices to prevent stormwater pollution at
their facilities. The City’s Business Inspection Plan is designed to target inspector resources at
facilities with a higher potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater. This prioritization considers
the type of business and the compliance history of a facility in establishing inspection frequency.
More than 4,500 inspections were conducted in FY 16-17 for 2,798 facilities. City inspectors
documented an increase from last year in the percentage of facilities that were in violation.
Inspectors found and documented 56 actual discharge violations and 2,035 potential discharge
violations. Additionally, the rate of correcting identified violations within 10 business days (or in an
otherwise timely manner) was approximately 93%.
The City actively participated in the Program’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
Ad Hoc Task Group (IDDE AHTG) on multiple projects. The group meets regularly to share
information, discuss issues, and coordinate communication. For example, this year the IDDE
AHTG organized inspector training, created new outreach materials, and updated BMP
brochures.
The City responded to 452 complaints in FY 16-17. Approximately 96% of violations were
corrected in a timely manner. Complaints in residential and commercial areas continue to be
the vast majority of the cases the City investigates.
i-3
The City promoted both phone and online options for registering complaints during outreach
events and through its inspection programs in addition to its inlet marking program which
displays its hotline.
San José continued to implement a robust construction inspection program in FY 16-17. City staff
from Public Works and Environmental Services completed 1,876 inspections at 189 project sites in
FY16-17 (compared to 1,352 inspections at 143 sites in FY 15-16). These inspections documented
649 violations that resulted in 477 enforcement actions being issued.
Out of the 649 violations, 97% were corrected within 10 days or otherwise considered timely.
Inspectors were able to achieve compliance predominantly through Level 1 (Correction Notices
and Verbal Warnings) enforcement.
Consistent with the previous year, sediment control and good site management were the most
common BMP violation categories. Inadequate BMPs in those two categories made up 94% of the
violations issued.
San José’s inspection program staff also attended a half-day construction site inspection training
workshop conducted by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program, which
covered regulatory requirements and construction site BMP inspections.
The City has a robust public information and outreach program to deliver stormwater pollution
prevention and watershed protection messages to diverse audiences. Community outreach and
opportunities for participation in water quality protection activities are critical elements for
encouraging the public behavior changes needed to manage stormwater quality. They also help
foster responsible behavior and respect for the environment in future generations of San José
residents.
i-4
The City collaborates with other local and regional agencies and community organizations to
reach residents of all ages and interests. The City offers multilingual literature and information at
events that appeal to its diverse population.

C.8 Water Quality Monitoring
Most monitoring activities required in the stormwater permit are implemented either regionally,
through BASMAA, or county-wide through the Program. However, the City participates directly in
local and regional monitoring activities to ensure the collection of high quality monitoring data
that helps inform management actions. This includes City staff’s participation in various
committees, workgroups, and strategy teams
for the San Francisco Bay Regional Monitoring
Program (RMP) for Trace Substances; the
BASMAA Monitoring and Pollutants of
Concern Committee (MPC); the BASMAAA
Regional Monitoring Coalition (RMC); and the
Program’s Monitoring Ad Hoc Task Group and
monitoring projects.
In FY 16-17, the City reviewed and provided ESD staff retrieve and deploy instruments for measuring
comment on RMP study reports and RMP water quality in Alviso Slough.
Update drafts. Financial support for the RMP is
a requirement of both the stormwater and wastewater NPDES permits, and the City has met this
obligation since the RMP’s inception.
City staff also participated directly in the BASMAA Monitoring and POC Committee, which
coordinates stormwater monitoring and POC activities region-wide. Staff aided planning and
implementation of multiple components of regional monitoring program including participating
on RMC field crews for Creek Status Monitoring, coordinating and reviewing aspects of the BMP
Effectiveness Study, and collaborating with the Program to implement the Upper Penitencia Creek
Stressor/Source Identification Study. City staff also collaborated with the Santa Clara Valley Water
District (SCVWD) to implement continued wet season monitoring in Guadalupe River and Coyote
Creek through the fall of 2016.
The Pesticides Toxicity Control provisions aim to prevent impairment of urban streams by pesticide-
related toxicity. These include requirements to adopt and implement an Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) policy, train staff, require contractors to implement IPM, and provide public
outreach, among others. San José has incorporated IPM techniques into City operations for many
years. The City’s IPM Policy (formally part of the Pollution Prevention Policy), requires the use of IPM
in municipal operations to facilitate reducing, phasing out, and ultimately eliminating the use of
pesticides that impair surface waters.
i-6
During the reporting year, San José continued to apply proven and innovative IPM techniques to
address municipal pest problems. Techniques piloted in previous years include grazing for weed
control; replacing diseased or insect-infested plants with more site-appropriate, pest resistant
species; using dormant oil for sycamore scale and anthracnose control; treating grub-infested turf
with biological insect controls; mulching for weed control; power washing moth cocoons from
trees; applying compost and compost tea; and installing barn owl boxes for rodent population
control. Staff also ensured external vendor compliance with the City’s IPM policy and SOPs and
BMPs through a series of meetings which reviewed the IPM policy and expectations, and solicited
input on a new data entry system to improve record keeping and analysis of chemical
applications and alternative methods used.
The Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department’s (PRNS) Parks Division’s Chemical
Advisory Board (CAB) continues to evaluate new methods for reducing pesticide use, and
provides IPM training to staff. In November 2016,
PRNS introduced a pilot program in several Park
Maintenance Districts to control rodent
populations using carbon monoxide smoke.
PRNS staff reported encouraging preliminary
results, successfully treating 853 burrows. Staff
increased the use of other IPM methods,
including wood chip mulch for weed
suppression in bare areas; non-toxic methods
for rodent control; and equipment
demonstration for turf maintenance and
compost applications. Additionally, staff
worked to understand turf grubs and related
damage issues more thoroughly via a life cycle
investigation and less-toxic product timing and
effectiveness comparison study.
The City’s use of pesticides that threaten water quality remains very low. No Organophosphates
or Carbamates were used in FY 16-17. There was a slight increase in the use of Fipronil from 15-16
to 16-17. The rise could be explained by increased ant populations due to high rainfall. Pyrethrin
use was higher due to a new insect control application at Police Department horse stables,
however the potential for stormwater or runoff contact was minimal since application occurred
inside covered, well-maintained stalls. No Beta-Cyfluthrin was used, other pyrethroid applications
decreased. A small amount of chlorantraniliprole was reported for the first-time due to a one-time
use in a pilot comparison study of turf grub product effectiveness. Nearly all the active ingredients
of concern were applied indoors and/or in the form of baits that normally do not contact
stormwater.
i-7
San José also participates in regional collaborative efforts to provide educational outreach to
residential and commercial pesticide users and pesticide retailers. Our Water, Our World and the
Program’s Watershed Watch campaign continued to increase target audiences’ awareness of
the benefits of less toxic pest management techniques. Watershed Watch continued facilitating
the Santa Clara Valley Advanced Green Gardener Training program. City staff also provided a
presentation on City IPM practices to 122 professional pesticide applicators and 40 residents.
The Clean Waterways, Healthy City: Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plan and Assessment
Strategy (Long-Term Plan), originally submitted to the Water Board on February 15, 2014, and since
updated, serves as a roadmap to help San José achieve the C.10 trash load reduction
requirements and the vision of Clean Waterways, Healthy City. By reducing trash and reviving the
health of San José urban creeks, the City will improve the appeal of creek open space for
residents. Any vision of vibrant and healthy communities in San José must include revitalized
waterways that support a healthier lifestyle for our City.
As of July 1, 2017, the City attained 79.2% trash load reduction, exceeding the mandatory 70%
goal, through implementation of a robust set of trash control measures. In FY 16-17 alone, the City
made remarkable progress increasing its trash load reduction from the 53.5% trash reported last
year. This progress is largely due to the installation of additional large trash capture systems, along
with continued implementation of a comprehensive Direct Discharge Program, additional creek
and shoreline cleanups, jurisdictional-wide source control actions, and other measures.
i-8
up to 15% for trash removed through DDTCP cleanups. The four phase DDTCP coordinates
elements that address the direct discharge of trash from homeless individuals living adjacent to
creeks. Efforts are currently concentrated in three focus zones and three project areas to maximize
effectiveness and progress, though they are also deployed along the entire stretches of City
waterways as available. The Program coordinates efforts with three other departments and
external partner organizations to conduct outreach to homeless individuals, dismantle
encampment structures, remove residual trash from creeks, and patrol to prevent establishment
of new encampments. In FY 16-17, this partnership cleared 6,697cubic yards of trash from creeks.
The City is claiming a 15% trash load reduction offset for DDTCP cleanups.
San José cleaned all of its required 32 creek hot spots at least
once in FY 16-17 to a level of “no visible impact” from trash,
removing 157 cubic yards of trash. City staff has observed that
the volume of trash removed from a hot spot is highly variable
from year-to-year and that a generalized trend cannot be
discerned across the 32 hot spot locations.
To assess environmental outcomes associated with control measures other than full capture
devices, visual on-land trash assessments were conducted according to guidelines in section
C.10.b.ii.b using a standard protocol developed by BASMAA member agencies. Analysis of the
assessments completed during FY 16-17 yielded an 8.2% trash load reduction. The assessment
results may reflect the impacts of the City’s other trash control actions including street sweeping
and a new Illegal Dumping Program. The City sweeps approximately 5,000 curb miles at a
frequency of one to two times per month. The City added a net 3.44 curb miles to street sweeping
i-9
routes in FY 16-17 but did not increase “No Parking” signage for street sweeping parking
enforcement. The City continues to work with BASMAA to assess the effectiveness of additional
street sweeping enhancements. In FY 16-17, the City launched a new Illegal Dumping Rapid
Response Team (IDRRT). The IDRRT responds to service requests and cleans up illegally dumped
items within approximately five days of receiving a report. In FY 16-17, the team removed
approximately 173 cubic yards of illegally dumped materials each week. Since illegal dumping
can include loose garbage, these efforts reduce potential discharges of trash to the storm sewer
system. In addition to these efforts, the City now collects three large items from single-family homes
at no charge, with an unlimited number of pickups. (Also, in December 2016, CalTrans finalized an
agreement with Santa Clara County to partner with San Jose Conservation Corps to remove trash
from State right of way properties and freeways.)
In FY 16-17, the City reconfigured its Trash Management Areas (TMAs) in an effort to simplify efforts
to implement trash control measures. The number of TMAs in San José has been condensed from
over 50 TMAs to 13 TMAs while treating the same area. Staff has updated the Long-Term Trash
Reduction Plan and Assessment Strategy to reflect these changes. See Appendix 10-3.
The 79.2% trash load reduction achieved to date reflects a combination of approaches to address
and revive the health of the City’s urban creeks. The City intends to maintain focus on
implementing control measures to ensure compliance with future MRP trash reduction targets.
Mercury and PCBs are pollutants with a tendency to adhere to particles and accumulate in fish
tissues. Their urban sources also often co-occur on the landscape. Due to these similarities, regional
permit provisions for the control of mercury and PCBs in stormwater are nearly identical.
The City has continued its efforts to reduce or eliminate potential mercury discharges from
municipal operations by purchasing low mercury content fluorescent lamps, and properly
recycling spent lamps. Additionally, the City partners with the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum
(AQMM) distribute mercury disposal and HHW brochures and communicate to visitors the
importance of proper disposal of mercury-containing devices. The museum is visited annually by
approximately 900 3rd and 4th grade students from local schools in addition to the general public.
The San José Environmental Innovation Center (EIC) offers much-needed services with economic
and environmental benefits that extend countywide. One of these is a permanent Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) Drop-off Facility run by the County of Santa Clara. This provides San José
and countywide residents with a convenient facility to dispose of their waste safely by
appointment. The City continues to support the Santa Clara County Household and Small Business
Hazardous Waste Program to provide fluorescent lamp recycling services to residents.
The City also continued to support the San Francisco Bay Regional Monitoring Program (RMP),
which has worked collaboratively with the BASMAA Regional Monitoring Coalition on projects to
understand sources and loadings of mercury and PCBs, and to reduce risk to people who may
eat San Francisco Bay fish containing these chemicals. The City is an active participant in regional
efforts to understand and control stormwater inputs of both mercury and PCBs to the Bay. Staff
participated on the BASMAA Monitoring and Pollutants of Concern Committee and Clean
Watersheds for a Clean Bay (CW4CB) workgroups. The EPA-funded CW4CB project implemented
multiple provisions under C.11 and C.12, such as on-land investigations and abatement,
enhanced sediment management, and evaluation of on-site stormwater treatment via retrofit.
i-10
Many of the efforts under CW4CB occurred within San José with support from staff. This year, City
staff facilitated sampling in various old industrial areas in the City with the intention of finding high
opportunity areas for capturing these pollutants. As a result of previous similar sampling and
investigation, a known location at the end of Leo Avenue was referred to the Water Board for
further action. The City continues its commitment to working with the Water Board and
stakeholders toward achieving TMDLs efficiently and cost effectively.
Brake dust has long been known to be a major source of copper to the environment and
stormwater. AB 346 became law in July 2010 and effectively phases out copper in brake pads
sold in California. The City continues to address other sources of copper through prohibition of the
discharge of pool and spa water containing copper algicides, and wash water from copper
architectural features.
The City incorporates copper pollution prevention into its industrial inspection program. A fact
sheet regarding rooftop sources of copper pollution continues to be available for distribution to
targeted industrial facilities. The City continues to include businesses with SIC codes identified as
having a higher potential to contribute copper to stormwater in its annual inspection plan. All of
these business types are subject to the State’s General Industrial Permit, and all new businesses
within this group are inspected within one year of inception. On February 14, 2017, inspectors
attended an annual training at which industrial and architectural sources of copper were
addressed. The brochure “Requirements for Copper Roofs and Other Architectural Copper” which
includes BMPs for preventing prohibited discharges to storm drains is also available for distribution
where discharges from cleaning or treating copper architectural features may occur.
The City of San José’s municipal code includes legal authority to address prohibited discharges to
the City’s MS4. Utilizing the industrial and commercial inspection program and IDDE program, the
City uses a combination of education and enforcement to achieve compliance. The City provides
BMP information to its residential and commercial constituents on various actions they can take
to reduce or eliminate the exposure and discharge of copper from their activities. Materials were
distributed during inspections, at the City’s planning and permitting offices, at outreach events,
and available through the City’s website.
C.14 City of Pacifica and San Mateo County Fecal Indicator Bacteria Controls
This provision only applies to the City of Pacifica and San Mateo County Permittees and does not
apply to the City of San José.
Some non-stormwater discharges are either not harmful or can be made so with simple best
management practices. These few discharge types are exempted or conditionally exempted
from the stormwater permit’s general discharge prohibitions. Through a variety of outreach
activities, the City encouraged residents to protect water quality by washing their cars over
landscaped areas, or at establishments where the wash water is recycled. The City’s water use
i-11
rules which remain in place regardless of water supply conditions encourage water conservation
and prohibit practices that lead to over watering and runoff. Additionally, the City continues to
promote water-wise landscape irrigation and sustainable gardening techniques in partnership
with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, SCVURPPP, the Santa Clara Valley Water District,
Hands on Bay Area, and the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency.
Conclusion
The City of San José is a leader in promoting innovative proactive environmental policies and
continues to strive to meet or exceed its regulatory obligations. The City is committed to managing
and protecting stormwater quality and actively participates in local and regional efforts designed
to leverage the most value for its resources and citizens. San José will continue to focus resources
to protect water quality for the benefit of our citizens, businesses, and future generations

Fifty-eight (58) C.3 Regulated Projects were approved this year. This is a decrease from eighty-two (82) approved in FY 15-16. Four (4) of the FY 16-
17 C.3 Regulated Projects approved are public projects. The remaining fifty-four (54) are private projects comprised of six (6) residential, forty (40)
non-residential (commercial, educational, or industrial), and eight (8) mixed-use projects. Seven (7) private projects were required to provide
Hydromodification Management Controls, which consisted of six (6) underground vault/structures and one (1) bioretention area with outlet
controls that were all sized using the Bay Area Hydrology Model (BAHM).
Just over half of the Regulated Projects directed runoff to vegetated areas and just over two-thirds of the projects had self-treating areas and
covered parking. Just under two-thirds of the projects used the following source control measures: water efficient irrigation systems, beneficial
landscaping, storm drain stenciling, or covered dumpster enclosures, which were then connected to the sanitary sewer. Bioretention areas were
included in forty-nine (49) out of the fifty-eight (58) projects and eleven (11) of the projects used Media Filter Systems as a treatment control
measure (Special Projects).
The City took several steps to improve and enhance the C.3 review and reporting process. The City completed the update of its
interdepartmental C.3 Development Review Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) document. The SOP provides clear guidance on staff roles
and responsibilities for meeting C.3 requirements during the development review process. Additionally, City departments, including Public Works,
Transportation, Planning, and Environmental Services, sent staff to a SCVURPPP workshop on June 7 and 13, 2017 that focused on preparing and
reviewing stormwater control plans, interpreting C.3 data, understanding stormwater treatment measure sizing and design, and reporting C.3
requirements. The City also revamped and published two resource webpages that discuss the importance of implementing LID, how to meet C.3
requirements, and prepare acceptable stormwater control plans. The webpages include application forms, worksheets, and new City standard
details and specifications for stormwater treatment measures.

In FY 16-17, bioretention cells, swales, and media filter systems comprised the majority of the stormwater treatment systems inspected under the
Stormwater Treatment Measure Operation and Maintenance Inspection Program. The most common problems observed with bioretention cells
and swales were associated with inadequate vegetation coverage, invasive/nuisance vegetation, and accumulated trash/debris. The most
common issues associated with media filter systems were missing maintenance records and excessive accumulation of pollutants/sediment. This
is in comparison to FY 15-16, where inadequate vegetation coverage and invasive/nuisance vegetation in swales were the most common issues.
Inspectors required responsible parties to replace dead vegetation, remove invasive/nuisance vegetation, ensure vegetation is properly
irrigated, remove trash/debris, and maintain media filter systems. Inspectors also provided maintenance guidance materials, when needed.
The City also verified the proper installation of 313 newly installed stormwater treatment systems at 51 C.3 regulated project sites under the
Stormwater Treatment Measure Installation Verification Program in FY 16-17. City staff worked closely with the developers to ensure the proper
installation of stormwater treatment systems during all stages of the installation process.
Provide a discussion of the effectiveness of the O&M Program and any proposed changes to improve the O&M Program (e.g., changes in
prioritization plan or frequency of O&M inspections, other changes to improve effectiveness program).
Summary:
The overall goal of the City’s Stormwater Treatment Measure O&M Inspection Program is to ensure the proper installation and on-going operation
and maintenance of stormwater treatment systems. San José staff has been effective at accomplishing this goal by ensuring both minor and
significant problems identified during O&M inspections are corrected, educating the responsible party of maintenance requirements, and
providing outreach material such as plant guidance for bioretention facilities, maintenance information, and manufacturers’ recommended
maintenance procedures for vault-based treatment systems.
In FY 16-17, the total number of C.3 regulated sites in the O&M Inspection Program grew from 288 sites to 337 sites. City staff continued the
transition from the spreadsheet-based tracking system to the Electronic Enforcement Data Management System (EEDMS). By completing the
3-4
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report C.3 – New Development and Redevelopment
Permittee Name: San José
transition to EEDMS, staff will be able to better track the progress and site information of the increasing inventory of C.3 regulated projects and
associated stormwater treatment systems more effectively, and reduce potential for transcription errors.
In addition, City staff across several departments worked together to develop new interdepartmental Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for
the Post-Construction Stormwater Treatment Control Measure, Pervious Pavement System, and Hydromodification Management Control Initial
Installation Inspection Program. The new procedures outlined in the SOP will go into effect in FY 17-18. The SOP outlines key steps in data
management and tracking of Regulated Project Sites, Stormwater Treatment Control Measures (TCMs), Permeable Pavement Systems (PPSs), and
Hydromodification (HM) Controls. Multiple checks, controls, and redundancies were incorporated into the data management and tracking
processes to ensure information is accurate, comprehensive, and consistently available throughout the entire installation process for TCMs, PPSs,
and HM Controls at Regulated Project sites.
In FY16-17, the Stormwater Treatment Measure Operation and Maintenance Inspection Program ERP was revised and a new ERP was developed
for the C.3 Installation Verification Program to meet the new MRP requirements. The O&M Inspection Program continued to make improvements
to the inspection forms, and a pre-inspection report was developed to better track enforcement history at each site that has had a previous
O&M inspection. In addition, inspection staff continued to educate property managers and owners on O&M requirements for stormwater
treatment systems. Inspection staff also informed property owners and managers of maintenance requirements on inspection reports along with
a list of all installed stormwater treatment systems on their site.

BASMAA prepared standard specifications in four fact sheets regarding the site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i, as a resource for
Permittees. The City has modified local ordinances/policies/procedures and forms/checklists to require all applicable projects approved after
December 1, 2012 to implement at least one of the site design measures listed in Provision C.3.i.
On May 23, 2017 staff presented the Green Infrastructure Framework to the City Council. Following the presentation, the Council voted and
unanimously approved the Green Infrastructure Framework and authorized the submittal in conformance with the Stormwater Permit
requirements.
City staff from Public Works, Transportation, Planning, PRNS, and Environmental Services departments attended a SCVURPPP training on April 19,
2017 entitled “Green Infrastructure Design and Implementation”. The training provided an overview of green infrastructure requirements, design
and maintenance considerations, and project case studies. In addition, ESD staff presented on the Green Infrastructure Plan Framework to the
Transportation and Environment Committee and City Council. The presentations described impacts of stormwater, regulatory requirements, what
green infrastructure is, and the benefits and challenges of implementing it, and outlined the Green Infrastructure Plan Framework.
Please refer to the Program’s FY 16-17 Annual Report for a summary of outreach efforts implemented by the Program.

Facility Inspections
In FY 16-17, the City inspected a large number of facilities to ensure that adequate stormwater protection measures are being employed. The
City’s Business Inspection Plan targets inspector resources at facilities with a higher potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater. Table
C.4.d.iii(1)(a) provides summary information on the City’s IND inspection program including total number of facilities inspected, total number of
violations issued, and percent of violations resolved within 10 business days (or otherwise timely manner). The City initially assigned 3,085 facilities
for inspection in FY 16-17 and completed inspections for 2,798 facilities. Inspectors found and documented 56 actual discharge violations and
2,035 potential discharge violations at 1,029 facilities. The rate of correcting identified violations within 10 business days or in an otherwise timely
manner was approximately 93%. The City returns to inspect all facilities found with violations until all violations are satisfactorily corrected, no
matter how long it takes a facility to achieve compliance. In FY 16-17, a total of 4,541 inspections were conducted, which is a 4% increase from
FY 15-16.
Annual Training
The City places great value in providing needed training for its Environmental Inspectors. The City actively participated with the IND AHTG to
develop the Inspector Training Workshop to cover IND issues, requirements, and techniques. The City will continue to train its staff in FY 17-18 and
beyond, and will work with SCVURPPP and BASMAA on pertinent regional inspector training.

The City actively participated in the Program’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Ad Hoc Task Group (IDDE AHTG) on multiple
projects. The group meets regularly to share and discuss issues. Eight construction related BMPs such as home remodeling and painting that
were updated in FY 15-16 were translated to Vietnamese and finalized for use in FY 16-17. The group continues to update the countywide
mobile business inventory and mail the BMP brochure and letter to new businesses as well as share enforcement actions taken against mobile
businesses that cross jurisdictions. A complete summary of countywide and regional activities is included in the SCVURPPP FY 16-17 Annual
Report.
The City also worked with the IND/IDDE AHTG to develop the Annual IND/IDDE Training held this year on May 10, 2017. Inspectors also attended
Hazwoper Refresher and various safety and IDDE internal training.
To make it easier to file a complaint, the City accepts illegal stormwater discharge complaints via the City’s stormwater internet site at http://ca-
sanjose.civicplus.com/FormCenter/Environment-13/Storm-Drain-Discharge-Complaint-Form-71. Complaints received are entered into the
database and responded to by inspectors. The City continues to promote both phone and online means of registering complaints through
existing outreach and training programs. Additionally, the City’s illegal dumping hotline number (408-945-3000) is prominently displayed on
almost all inlet “no dumping” markers.

FY 2016-2017 Annual Report C.5 – Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Permittee Name: San José
The City of San José educates and enforces the standards and BMPs described in the “Mobile Businesses - Best Management Practices”
brochure developed by the SCVURPPP IND/IDDE AHTG in May 2012 for the following mobile business categories: automobile washers/detailers,
power washers, carpet cleaners, steam cleaners, and pet care services. The Mobile Businesses BMP brochure is included in the Program Annual
Report. The City of San José distributed 18 of the Mobile Business BMP brochures during FY 16-17. The Mobile Business BMP brochure encourages
businesses to become a BASMAA Recognized Mobile Cleaner and follow the BASMAA BMPs available on the website: http://basmaa.org. The
City also provides lists of newly identified mobile businesses to SCVURPPP Program staff, who then mail a transmittal letter along with the Mobile
Business BMP brochure to the businesses. The Mobile Cleaner Businesses BMP brochure is posted on the Program’s Watershed Watch website
under resources for businesses: http://www.mywatershedwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/mobilecleanertrifoldFINAL1.pdf.
In FY 16-17 a PowerPoint (PPT), Best Management Practices for Mobile Businesses, was developed and posted to the City’s website
http://www.sanjoseca.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/3185. The PPT provides all water-using mobile businesses with BMPs and resources for
training (i.e., BASMAA Recognized Mobile Cleaner), how to properly discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer, etc.
(b) Provide your agency’s enforcement strategy for mobile businesses (C.5.e.iii.(1)(b)
In the City of San José, mobile businesses improperly discharging wash water to the storm drain system are identified through IDDE complaint
investigations; routine IND program facility inspections; and field observations by Environmental Inspectors. Mobile business Identification,
enforcement, and tracking occur through the City’s IDDE and the IND inspection programs. If a mobile business is identified during an IDDE
investigation, the business is added to the City’s Environmental Enforcement database. All violations and enforcement actions taken against
the mobile businesses are tracked in our database, and a facility IND inspection is scheduled in the following fiscal year if the mobile business is
based in the City of San José. The enforcement actions Environmental Inspectors may take are detailed in our IDDE Enforcement Response Plan
(ERP).
Due to the unique nature of mobile businesses, it can be difficult to track enforcement of a single business across jurisdictions. The current
strategy is for agencies to share information on mobile business enforcement actions at the SCVURPPP IND/IDDE AHTG meetings. All identified
mobile businesses with a base of operations in the City of San José are added to the IND inspection inventory. The bases of operations for
mobile businesses are inspected at a standard frequency consistent with the IND Business Inspection Plan (BIP). Actual or potential discharges
at the bases of operations are addressed like any commercial/industrial site according to the IND Enforcement Response Plan (ERP). Efforts are
made to ensure mobile activities of the business are reviewed and discussed during the IND inspections, and recommendations and BMPs
specific to mobile businesses are distributed during the IND inspection. New mobile businesses are added to the SCVURPPP mobile business
inventory list and enforcements are discussed during SCVURPPP IND/IDDE AHTG meetings.

(c) Provide a list and summary of the specific outreach events and education conducted by your agency to the different types of mobile
businesses operating within your jurisdiction (C.5.e.iii.(1)(c)
The Program maintains a regional inventory of mobile businesses in the standard BMP categories listed in the “Mobile Businesses – Best
Management Practices” brochure. As inspectors provide new businesses to Program staff, the BMP brochure and transmittal letter are mailed to
the business. The Mobile Cleaner Businesses BMP brochure is posted on the Program’s Watershed Watch website under resources for businesses:
http://www.mywatershedwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/mobilecleanertrifoldFINAL1.pdf.”
In San José, mobile business outreach and education is primarily done on an individual basis. Mobile business BMPs and outreach materials are
distributed during routine IND inspections; IDDE response calls; and event planning meetings between event organizers and the Office of
Cultural Affairs, and/or the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services. In FY 16-17, the City hosted hundreds of indoor and
outdoor events. Mobile businesses are frequently vendors at these events. Stormwater protection BMPs were provided to all event coordinators
for distribution to all vendors. Materials are accessible at http://www.sanjoseculture.org/index.aspx?NID=4202, including the Additional
stormwater requirements are listed in the Special Events Guidelines - Outdoor Special Events in the City of San José
(http://www.sanjoseculture.org/DocumentCenter/View/25725).

Enforcement actions are typically taken in response to a complaint or illicit discharge through our IDDE Program. Enforcement actions are
tracked in the City’s spill and discharge complaint tracking system required by MRP C.5.d.ii. In FY 16-17, there were 10 complaints involving
mobile businesses. A total of 25 inspections were required, which resulted in 9 violations with 14 enforcement actions taken against the mobile
businesses. 19 BMPs were also distributed. No actual or potential discharges were found during the 5 IND inspections conducted at the base of
operations for mobile businesses.
(f) List below or attach the list of mobile businesses operating within your agency’s jurisdiction (C.5.e.iii.(1)(f))
In 2014 the Program compiled an inventory of mobile businesses located in Santa Clara County by reviewing business licenses, yellow page
searches and online business searches. The inventory includes automobile washers/detailers, power washers, carpet cleaners, steam cleaners,
and pet care services. The inventory is periodically updated with mobile businesses stormwater inspectors observe during routine field activities
and IDDE investigations. The inventory is made available to all SCVURPPP Co-permittees on the SCVURPPP members only webpage. The
inventory currently includes 178 mobile businesses. The inventory will be included in the Program’s Annual Report. A complete list of these mobile
businesses is also available on the City’s Environmental Services Department Stormwater Management Reports website at

Comments:
In addition to the construction site categories listed above, the City of San José also inspects sites that are under demolition if they have the
potential to be classified under one of the construction categories listed above once construction begins. These demolition sites are assigned an
“unknown” disturbed area in the City’s database until the area disturbed is identified in the grading permit. In FY 16-17, the City conducted 104
inspections at 20 sites with “unknown” disturbed areas, which brings the total number of sites inspected under the C.6 inspection program to 189
sites in FY 16-17.

FY 2016-2017 Annual Report C.6 – Construction Site Controls
Permittee Name: San José
In FY16-17, there were a total of 649 violations at 189 sites, of which, 97% (631), were fully corrected within 10 business days. There were 18
violations at ten construction sites that were not resolved within 10 business days due to the responsible party’s failure to complete all required
remedial actions by the required due date. Of the 18 violations that were not resolved within 10 business days, 16 violations received escalated
enforcement and compliance was achieved. In accordance with the City’s Enforcement Response Plan, rationale was documented in the
database for the two violations that were not resolved within 10 business days and did not receive escalated enforcement. Compliance was
ultimately achieved for these two violations.
In San José, the total number of violations equals the number of discrete potential and actual discharges identified at construction sites that
result in an enforcement action. It does not equal the number of enforcement actions because 1) a single enforcement action may be issued
to address multiple violations and 2) a site may be issued a second (or multiple) enforcement action(s) progressively to achieve compliance.
Consistent with previous years, sediment control and good site management were the most common BMP violation categories. Inadequate
BMPs in those two categories made up 94% of the violations issued.

City staff continued to work closely with SCVURPPP in FY16-17 to ensure compliance with provision C.6. In addition, during FY 16-17, City staff
updated several construction BMPs and translated eight BMPs into Vietnamese. By updating construction BMP brochures and translating them
for Vietnamese speakers, City staff will be able to convey construction BMPs and MRP requirements to a wider audience more effectively.
Inspection program staff attended a half-day construction site inspection training workshop in January 2017. The training covered MRP
regulatory requirements, construction site BMP inspections, and local case studies. Attendees included inspection staff, supervisors, and other
staff that have a primary role in the City’s construction stormwater inspection program. Attendance for the construction workshop increased
significantly from the previous year with forty-two inspectors attending in FY16-17 compared to seventeen inspectors in FY15-16. In FY16-17, the
Environmental Services Department and Public Works Supervisors worked closely together to identify all inspector positions that would directly
benefit from attending the annual construction workshops and to ensure they received notification for all upcoming construction trainings. The
Environmental Services Department provided additional training to construction inspection groups that covered C.6 requirements, described
the City’s internal process for data tracking and coordination, and common construction site issues. As in previous years, San José was also an
active participant in the BASMAAA Development Committee.

Earthquakes Partnership
The Environmental Services Department completed its first three-year partnership with the San José Earthquakes (2014-16) and extended it for
another three years (2017-19). The partnership aims to raise awareness and encourage environmental behaviors that will help reduce waste,
prevent pollution, and conserve water and energy. The Earthquakes home games at the new AVAYA stadium reach 18,000 fans who are 36
percent Hispanic, 64 percent male, and 56 percent Santa Clara County residents. Through the City’s partnership with the Earthquakes, over
300,000 fans will be exposed to the environmental messages in one season via verbal announcements, visual LED boards and signage, green
stadium signage, and outreach booths. The partnership provides use of the Earthquakes brand and player endorsements, increased cost-
savings, and value-added outreach opportunities with the Earthquakes and ESD’s other public agency partners. As family-friendly role models
and key community leaders, the Earthquakes players’ local celebrity status garners recognition and credibility among fans and the general
public. The San José Earthquakes partnership achieved more than 5 million impressions through mass media campaigns in English and Spanish
languages in 2016.
In addition to in-stadium advertisements, ESD ran a seven-month long marketing campaign with bus advertisements, web and social media
advertisements, and game day advertisements throughout Avaya Stadium that included stormwater messages. Stormwater messages covered
the following topics:
• Impacts of single-use items on the environment and encouragement of source reduction through reusable water bottles

San José Mayor Sam Liccardo’s #BeautifySJ Campaign
Mayor Sam Liccardo launched #BeautifySJ in his 2017 State of the City speech to rally residents to reclaim their public spaces and empower the
community to aesthetically demonstrate their pride in our City. In addition to the many ways that residents can help beautify San José, City Hall
engaged a number of new policy decisions and opportunities that make San José more attractive:
• Launched a partnership with the San Jose Conservation Corps and CalTrans.
• Expanded a free residential junk pickup service.
• Boosted enforcement on illegal dumping.
• Led nearly weekly neighborhood cleanups across the City.
The Environmental Services Department (ESD) entered a new, three-year partnership with the San Jose Sharks, a professional ice hockey team,
to raise awareness and encourage environmental behaviors that reduce waste and prevent pollution. The Sharks home games at the SAP
Center reach 17,321 fans who are 58 percent female, 57 percent white, and 54 percent Santa Clara County residents. Though San José’s first
year partnership with the Sharks, over 655,00 fans were exposed to the environmental messaged in one season via verbal announcements,
visual LED boards, game day radio announcements, and outreach booths. The partnership provides use of the Sharks brand and player
endorsements and outreach opportunities with the Sharks and ESD’s other public agency partners. As family-friendly role models and key
community leaders, the Sharks players’ local celebrity status garners recognition and credibility among fans and general public. During the
2016-17 season, ESD launched an English language mass media campaign staring Sharks players that garnered more than 2.8 million
impressions.
In 2016-17 season, stormwater messages were disseminated during the four-month marketing campaign through web and social media
advertisements and game day ads throughout SAP Center. Stormwater messages covered the following topics:
• Inform about the City of San José/s Junk Pickup service to build program awareness in March 2017.
• Hazardous waste and its proper disposal in October and November 2016.
• Impacts of litter and pollution in waterways and encourage proper disposal in March 2017.

If no, explain:
Overall, pesticide use in the City of San José remains very low. Nearly all reportable active ingredients were applied in a way that did not expose
them to potential for runoff or limited the potential for that exposure. Most of the reported use was indoors and/or in the form of contained baits.
Totals in the following table reflects all uses of these chemicals regardless of application location or method. Except for pyrethrin, use of all
reportable active ingredient types decreased in FY 16-17 compared to FY 15-16. The increase in pyrethrin was attributed to use within the covered
confines of the San José Police Mounted Unit stables to control flies. The stables are very well maintained, and likelihood of runoff or track out is
very low. Alternatives are being considered for the coming year.

This year City staff also conducted in-person meetings with all contractors and vendors regarding the City’s IPM and Pollution Prevention policies
and encouraged contractors to provide feedback on development of an online reporting system to further streamline record keeping and data
analysis. ESD staff reviewed contractor’s pesticide inventory lists, and worked closely with them to select appropriate alternative practices or
products to ensure adherence to the City’s IPM policy. The SOPs and BMPs that help implement the City’s IPM Policy were updated and
provided. A requirement to adhere to the IPM policy has been included as standard contract language for many years, and more recently
inserted into the contract bidding process to ensure awareness of the IPM policy expectations up front.
If your agency did not evaluate the contractor’s list of pesticides and amounts of active ingredients used, provide an explanation.
Did your municipality report any observed or citizen-reported violations of pesticide regulations (e.g., illegal handling Yes No
and applications of pesticides) associated with stormwater management, particularly the California Department of

Pesticide Regulation (DPR) surface water protection regulations for outdoor, nonagricultural use of pyrethroid
pesticides by any person performing pest control for hire?
If yes, provide a summary of improper pesticide usage reported to the County Agricultural Commissioner and follow-up actions taken to correct
any violations. A separate report can be attached as your summary.

TMA Summary of Trash Control Actions Other than Full Capture Systems
• TMA 1 includes all areas treated by Large Full Trash Capture systems (Hydrodynamic Separators) or areas planned for treatment

by 2020.
• Adopt-A-Park: Continue to recruit and train residents and corporate entities to participate in the Adopt-A-Park Program.
Through the Program, participants assist in the general care and maintenance of neighborhood and regional parks and open
spaces in San José including litter removal.
• Anti-Litter Program: In FY 14-15, the City’s Anti-Litter Program focused its work plan on increasing community volunteerism and
coordinating more neighborhood litter pickups. In FY 15-16, 5,044 volunteers participated in one-time service projects such as
the Great American Litter Pick-Up and collected a total of 8,576 bags of trash. The program currently monitors litter “hot spots”
throughout the City. These locations require regular and extensive cleanup efforts to combat trash and illegal dumping.
• Public Litter Cans: Installation of additional public litter cans. Locations were determined through comparison of trash
generation rates and land use, as well as pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The majority of these cans were installed in high and
moderate trash generation areas.
• Solid Waste Inspection Program: In 2012, the City initiated a new solid waste inspection program. The inspectors continue to
target areas where garbage service has been cancelled to ensure refuse is not accumulating, alert businesses to issues with the
management of the debris bins and waste storage areas, and provide information on the City’s garbage and recycling
programs and the San José Municipal Code. Inspectors also report illegal dumping and other concerns observed while in the
2 field.
• Place-Based Neighborhoods Program: In 2012, the Housing Department initiated the Place-Based Neighborhoods program to
create clean, safe, and engaged neighborhoods in three areas of the City. The Code Enforcement Division of the City’s
Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement participated in blight reduction efforts as part of this program, and a
contractor, Downtown Streets Team, cleaned up litter and dumping. This program has ended.
• Business Intelligence Data Tracking System: In 2012, City’s Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS)
implemented an activity data tracking system called Business Intelligence (BI). Through BI, PRNS tracks trash collection activities
and trash collection quantities. This information was utilized to support the City’s trash generation and collection information.
• Homeless Response Team: In FY 15-16, the City received ongoing funding for a Homeless Response Team, led by the Housing
Department. The team includes outreach workers which offer social services and housing to homeless individuals, and
maintenance staff that dismantle encampments and remove trash and debris from creeks and other areas throughout the City.
• Watershed Protection Team Patrols: In 2013, San José Park Rangers’ Watershed Protection Team, started patrolling waterways to
reduce illegal encampment activity and issuing criminal citations to individuals for illegal activity that results in waterway
degradation. Rangers and PRNS maintenance staff also conduct and supervise volunteer on-land and creek cleanup activity
along City trails and waterways.

Property Based Improvement District (PBID). The Downtown PBID, among its enhanced services, incorporates sidewalk
sweeping, litter pickup, and maintenance of public litter cans at least once per week in retail/wholesale and commercial
areas.
• Illegal Dumping Rapid Response Team: The FY 16-17 Adopted Operating Budget included funding for a new Illegal Dumping
Rapid Response Team (IDRRT) in ESD. The IDRRT responds to service requests and cleans up illegally dumped items within
approximately five days. The IDRRT also conducts proactive sweeps in various neighborhoods citywide where illegal dumping
occurs frequently. The City is removing significantly more illegally dumped material from City property and right-of-ways than in
previous years. In FY 16-17, the team removed approximately 173 cubic yards (15 tons) of illegally dumped materials each
week.

• Clean Streets Pilot: In FY 15-16, the City piloted a targeted education and outreach campaign with the Story Road Business
Association, called the “Clean Streets Pilot,” to prevent and clean up trash and litter in the business district. The City contracted
with Downtown Streets Team to clean two designated areas along Story Road to help meet the project goal of no litter
remaining for more than 24 hours. Sixty-nine businesses displayed campaign posters and tent cards with the campaign
messaging, “Score! A Clean Neighborhood. Put Litter in the Trash Can.” Spanish and English campaign posters were also placed
in 26 bus stop shelter panels from April through June 2016. DST removed trash daily in two designated areas along Story Road to
help meet the project goal of no litter remaining for more than 24 hours. DST collected 223 cubic yards of litter from January to
June 2016. In addition, 34 public litter cans were installed along a 2.9 mile stretch of Story Road.

The City continued its partnership with DST to conduct creek cleanups and serve
homeless persons or persons at risk of homelessness. In FY 16-17, DST focused their
cleanup efforts along the City’s Direct Discharge Trash Control Program Focus
Zones, which includes reaches of Coyote Creek, Guadalupe River, and Los
Gatos Creek. DST coordinated with the City’s Homeless Response Team to
conduct cleanups after encampment abatements took place. In FY 16-17, DST
removed 1,631 cubic yards (129 tons) of trash and debris from San José’s creeks,
of which 1,285 cubic yards (111 tons) was attributed from sites cleaned at least
twice, (these totals did not contribute to the Direct Discharge offset credit). DST
housed 11 and employed 12 individuals from the creek cleanup crew.
In FY 16-17, The City received a $50,000 grant from the Cities of Service Bay Area
Impact Volunteer Program to fund South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition. The
organization implemented its Team 222 Model to recruit volunteers and conduct
creek cleanups along the Guadalupe River. Two-hour cleanups were
conducted on the second Saturday of every other month. More than 280
volunteers cleaned 2.5 miles of the Guadalupe River and removed 127 cubic
yards (11 tons) of trash.

During the Program’s first year of implementation, the City experienced several
challenges and learned valuable lessons relating to data collection, monitoring,
field safety, and interdepartmental coordination. Moreover, the City and its
partners recognize and continue to address issues such as the diverse
circumstance of the homeless population and the lack of resources to prevent
re-encampment. Despite these challenges, staff has confidence that this
program helps marry the City's trash reduction requirements with the City's goal
to end homelessness. Thus far, the City has seen success with aligning

Permittee Name: San José
On February 14, 2017 the City’s Commercial/Industrial Stormwater Inspection Group (IND) attended a training event on industrial copper sources
and pollution prevention. The training reviewed industry types with elevated levels of copper, typical sources of copper pollution at facilities,
effects of copper on the environment, and typical BMPs to reduce copper in stormwater such as source control, sweeping, and filtration. The
City continues to include businesses with SIC codes identified as having a higher potential to contribute copper to stormwater in its annual
inspection plan. All of these business types are subject to the General Permit, and all new businesses within this group are inspected within one
year.

Landscape Conversion
The San José Municipal Water System collaborates with the SCVWD to offer landscape rebates of up to $2000 to businesses and
residents who replace turf with drought tolerant landscaping. The District also offers rebates on irrigation upgrades. This year, City staff
also worked closely with Ecology Action and the SCVWD to select public sites appropriate for participation in the turf conversion
component of the WaterLink Grant available through the Department of Water Resources. A site at Independence High School (IHS)
was selected and will serve as a large-scale example of sustainable landscaping for residents in the neighborhood.
Watersmart
Muni Water residents can access a free indoor water use audit toolkit offered through the SCVWD. Residents use the toolkit to assess
their water use and look for leaks. Once they have completed the toolkit, they can receive the recommended water savings devices
from the District at no cost.

• Promoted water conservation messages at San José’s Christmas in the Park with a display along the Environmental Alley, stage and
public address announcements, and social media posts.
The San José community conserved 25 percent of its water use, above the 20 percent goal set by City Council in July 2016. By April 2017,
the state ended the drought emergency due to water conservation efforts and plentiful winter rain and snow. In March 2017, San José
City Council had already ended the citywide water shortage, however municipal code rules still remain in effect regardless of whether
in a drought (Chapter 15.10 of the Municipal Code). A press release was issued announcing the end of water saving targets for San
José. The following rules related to watering and irrigation practices are still in effect:
• Watering hours are before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m., unless using a bucket or hose with shut-off nozzle
• Sprinklers cannot run more than 15 minutes per station per day
• No excessive water runoff
• Leaking or broken water pipes, and irrigation systems must be fixed within five working days
• No cleaning vehicles with a hose without a shutoff nozzle
• Commercial car washes must use water recycling equipment, a bucket and hand washing, or a hose with shut-off nozzle
In addition, water conservation messages were included in Christmas in the Park’s Environmental Alley displays, stage and PA
announcements, and posts on social media.

The current proposal of the project (based on revised plans dated 12/20/2016) was reviewed to
evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was not
possible to treat the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented
below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a new six-story, 91-room hotel on a 0.29 gross acre site. The hotel will have two levels of
covered parking, one below-grade and the other on the ground floor. The proposed building
footprints will occupy approximately 100% of the entire site. Areas of the site not covered by
the building will include a sixth-floor roof garden. The building will have a flat roof that will drain
entirely to a media filtration system.
The site consists of one DMA which accounts for 100% of the site and flows to a media filtration
system.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
approximately 100% of the site will be covered by the hotel building and there will be no at-
grade self-treating or self-retaining areas due to the reduced setbacks.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 100% of the site is
proposed to drain to a non-LID media filtration system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the building’s roof and the sixth-floor
roof garden will drain to a media filtration system. The entire project site’s lot area will be
covered by permanent building structures and includes an underground and ground-floor
parking garage with associated ramps that preclude 100% LID treatment. Accessibility and
commercial frontage areas at the street level adds further space constraints for the installation
of LID treatment systems. Other space restrictions of the project site include mechanical
equipment (i.e. HVAC) for the hotel units and the building design that lacks an open podium
amenity structure, which can provide space for LID treatment of roof areas. As currently
designed, the project is utilizing all of its 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The current project proposal (initial plans dated 5/19/2015) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of
providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat
approximately 44% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are
presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily triangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of a single seven-story building with 95 apartment units on a 1.05 gross acre site.
Approximately 2,735 square feet of commercial area will be located on the ground-level.
There will be a two-story, above-grade parking garage within the interior of the first two levels
of the building. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include one podium-
level interior open common area on the second-floor with social and recreational areas and
at-grade pedestrian sidewalks and landscaping. Roof areas and the second-floor podium
common areas will be treated by both bioretention areas and a media filtration system, while
ground-floor frontage walkways will be treated by interceptor tree credits.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into six DMAs. Three of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 41% of the site, flow to bioretention areas. One of the DMAs, which
accounts for approximately 56% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. The remaining
two DMAs, which account for approximately 3% of the site, are treated through interceptor
tree credits.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface will be reduced by incorporating several areas of at-grade landscaping
that will all provide self-treatment. Approximately 44% of the site is proposed to drain to
bioretention areas and interceptor tree credits.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 41% of the
site is proposed to drain to LID treatment features (bioretention areas).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Several areas of the building roof and the second-floor
podium will be treated by a media filtration system. Due to the density of the project, reduced
setbacks, public sidewalk, the parking garage under the podium, and infrastructure some
drainage areas cannot be treated using LID. The building footprint will occupy almost 79% of
the entire site, providing further space constraints for LID treatment systems. Insufficient
landscaping and technical constraints related to the density of the project preclude the use of
100% LID. As currently designed, the project is utilizing approximately 56% of its available 80%
LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (approved plans dated 9/20/2016) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to pretreat approximately 30%
of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a
seven-story building with 86 multi-family dwelling units and 11,530 square feet of retail and
office space on a 0.63 gross acre site. The project will include two levels of above-grade
parking (under podium). The proposed building footprints will occupy approximately 90% of
the entire site. There will be residential courtyard amenity areas with containerized plantings
located on the third, fifth, and sixth floors of the podium structure, all surrounded on four sides
by the building. Other areas of the site not covered by the building structures include a second
floor bioretention area, ground-level walkways containing street trees and containerized
landscaping. The entire site will drain to a media filtration system. Roof drainage will be
collected and directed to three bioretention areas located on second and third floor common
areas for additional pretreatment.
The SCP will divide the site into four DMAs. Three of the DMAs, which account for
approximately 30% of the site, flow to bioretention areas prior to draining to the media filtration
system. The remaining DMA, which accounts for approximately 70% of the site, flows directly to
the media filtration system.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface will be
reduced by incorporating three bioretention areas on the second and third floors and
courtyard landscaping on four levels of the building that will provide some self-treatment.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 30% of the site will drain to
bioretention areas prior to non-LID treatment.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The project will treat the entire site with a media filtration
system, but will provide pretreatment with bioretention areas. The bioretention areas will
provide roof area pretreatment and will be located on the second and third floor courtyards.
The fifth and sixth floor courtyards will be constructed with a wood framework that can only
support portable tree planters which will sit atop the floor level. If the building type were
changed to a concrete design for the purposes of LID treatment, the project would have
become financially infeasible. Installing LID treatment systems on the ground floor peripheries
of the project site’s building frontage would conflict with underground collection systems,
doorway landings, pedestrian pathways, and could cause structural problems due to the close
proximity of the building wall footings. The project’s large building footprint, lack of adequate
and available open space, and financial constraints preclude the project from providing 100%
LID treatment. The project is utilizing all of its 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (approved plans dated 12/6/2016) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to pretreat approximately 53%
of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregularly-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist
of a single 25-story tower with up to 300 residential units and 5,000 square feet of ground-floor
commercial space on a 0.50 acre-site. There will be three levels of below-grade parking
throughout the tower footprint and four levels of covered parking (below the podium) located
only at the northern section of the property. The first floor also includes amenities, such as a San
José history exhibit, mailing and package rooms, a leasing office, and a lobby. The proposed
building footprint will occupy approximately 96% of the site. There will be outdoor patio decks
on the sixth and 24th floors. The entire site will drain to a media filtration system. Roof drainage
will be directed to raised, flow-through planter boxes on the sixth-floor outdoor common area
for additional pretreatment.
The SCP will divide the site into five DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately
53% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes prior to draining to the media filtration
system. The remaining three DMAs, which account for approximately 47% of the site, flow
directly to the media filtration system.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface will be
reduced by incorporating containerized landscaping on the sixth and 24th floor patio decks,
providing some self-treatment. Approximately 53% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas
will drain to flow-through planter boxes located on the sixth-floor patio deck.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 53% of the site is proposed to
drain to flow-through planter boxes prior to non-LID treatment.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The project will treat the entire site with a media filtration
system, but will provide pretreatment with flow-through planter boxes in feasible locations. The
flow-through planter boxes will be placed on the level six patio deck to accommodate roof
runoff from the levels above. However, the patio level landscaping will be level with the
podium, and therefore, cannot accommodate the required soil medium depth, due to
required ceiling heights in the level below. Also, portions of the top-level roof will not have
enough vertical change in elevation to drain via gravity to raised planters, when taking into
account minimum ceiling clearance and the narrow, elongated overall shape of the building.
Technical constraints such as limited areas for landscaping, internal roof drain minimum slope
requirements, and gravity pipe flow distances preclude the use of 100% LID features. The
project is utilizing all of its 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The City has deemed this project application incomplete (based on initial plans dated 9/29/2015). The
City’s Special Projects Worksheet and Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment
Narrative were not included with the project submittal and will need to be submitted for review. The
project was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this
review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 21% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID
treatment. Although the applicant’s Special Projects Worksheet claims LID reduction credits of up to
80%, the City has determined that the project only qualifies for 45% of the credits. The revised plans will
be reviewed to confirm that the project is not treating runoff with non-LID facilities above the allowed
amount of LID reduction credit. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a single large podium structure with one level of above-grade covered parking (under the
podium). The project will include 80 residential condominium units and approximately 12,000
square feet of commercial area on a 2.81 gross acre site. The proposed building footprint will
occupy approximately 58% of the entire site. Areas of the site not covered by the building
structure will include a podium-level interior open courtyard with pedestrian walkways,
recreation areas, raised planters, and synthetic lawn located above the parking garage.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into three DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 21% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The third DMA
drains to a media filtration system and accounts for approximately 79% of the site.
e. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. The current plans
demonstrate that impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of
containerized landscaping on the exposed podium courtyard and ground-level plantings that
will also provide some self-treatment. Approximately 21% of the site’s runoff from roof areas will
drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 21% of the site will drain to
LID treatment facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
c. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The City’s 30-Day Review letter to the project applicant has
required submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative.
Prior to granting project approval with the proposed LID Treatment reduction credits the City
will first establish infeasibility of treating100% of the amount of runoff identified in Provision C.3.d
for the project’s drainage areas with LID treatment measures.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (approved plans dated 3/15/2017; converted from project number H15-062) was reviewed
to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was
possible to treat approximately 61% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this
review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will include
two 28-story towers with stepped-down flat roof designs connected by a podium common
amenities area on the fifth floor. One tower will have 298 condominium units and the other will
include 312 apartment units and ground-level retail and office space. A parking structure will sit
under the podium level, extending four levels above-grade and three levels below. Areas of
the site not covered by the building structures will include rooftop amenities such as outdoor
seating, pool, and spa areas. Additional areas not covered by the building structures include a
podium level terrace and at-grade pedestrian walkways.
The SCP will divide the site into three DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately
61% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining DMA, which accounts for
approximately 39% of the site, flows to a media filtration system.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface areas
will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the at-grade
frontage areas, podium level courtyards, and rooftop amenities that will provide some self-
treatment. Approximately 61% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas will drain to flow-
through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 61% of the site is proposed to
drain to LID treatment features (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Approximately 61% of the site’s entire roof runoff will drain below
to raised flow-through planter boxes located on the fifth-floor podium deck. However, the runoff from
the podium deck level cannot be treated with LID. There will be insufficient depth due to the parking
level below. Moreover, there will be no landscaping proposed on the ground floor to treat the
podium deck hardscapes. The building frontages on the ground floor adjacent to the podium deck
hardscapes will have limited space for treatment due to retail storefront seating areas, doorway
landings, walkways necessary for access, and the underground garage. The project is utilizing 39% of
its 100% LID reduction credit.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (approved plans dated 12/7/2016) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 35% of the C.3.d
amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will
consist of a 10-story, 175-room hotel with a ground-level restaurant, lounge, and administrative
office areas, all on a 0.54 gross acre site. The hotel will have four levels of above-grade
covered parking (above the ground floor and under the podium). Areas of the site not
covered by the building structures include a podium level courtyard on the fifth floor and
ground-level driveways and walkways. Courtyard areas and a majority of the building’s flat
roof drain to a media filtration system, while at-grade impervious driveways, walkways, and
partial roof areas will be conveyed to a bioretention area.
The SCP will divide the site into two DMAs. One of the DMAs, which accounts for 35% of the site,
drains to a bioretention area. The remaining DMA, will drain to a media filtration system and
accounts for 65% of the site.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface areas
will be reduced by incorporating several areas of decorative landscape on the exposed
podium courtyard that will also provide some self-treatment. A bioretention area on the
ground floor will treat 35% of the site’s building roof areas and ground floor hardscape runoff.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. The project site will drain 35% of its runoff to LID a
treatment feature and facility (bioretention area).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Courtyard areas and a majority of the building’s flat roof
drain to a media filtration system. Limited space, landscaping areas, costs, structural load
restrictions, and additional technical constraints preclude the project from providing 100% LID
treatment. The fifth-floor podium-level landscape cannot be used to meet the C.3.d. sizing
requirement due to unavailable vertical space for sufficient soil medium depth. Incorporating
LID treatment on the fifth-floor would also require cost-prohibitive measures, such as additional
structural support to account for the added weight of stormwater, plumbing for sub drainage,
and additional water proofing. Since the project site has limited landscape, treatment of
hardscape on the fifth-floor podium level is limited to the bioretention area on the ground floor
driveway. The project is utilizing all of its 65% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 73% of the C.3.d amount of
runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will
consist of one five-story building with 226,885 square feet of commercial space and three five-
story residential buildings with up to 476 units, all on a 10.63 gross acre site. The project will
include two levels of above-grade parking on the ground floor (under podium). The proposed
building footprint will occupy approximately 41% of the entire site. There will be plaza and
courtyard with landscaping, walkways, and pedestrian amenities on the podium structure
between each building and a riverfront park adjacent to the Guadalupe River. Other areas of
the site not covered by the building structures include roadways, driveways, and a bridge that
connects the buildings to the other side of the Guadalupe River. Plaza areas, courtyards,
driveways, and walkways drain to media filtration systems, while roof areas and other
courtyards and walkways will be conveyed to bioretention areas.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into 14 DMAs. Seven DMAs, which account
for approximately 54% of the site, flow to bioretention areas. Four DMAs, which account for
approximately 27% of the project site, drain to media filtration systems. One DMA, which
accounts for 14% of the project site, will be landscaping that will provide self-treatment. The
two remaining DMAs, which account for 5% of the project site, drain to self-retaining pervious
concrete areas.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 54%
of the site’s runoff from roof areas, courtyards, and walkways drain to bioretention areas.
Approximately 14% of the site is designated as landscaping that will provide self-treatment,

The project (approved plans dated 1/10/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 24% of the C.3.d
amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a six-story studio apartment-style building, totaling 84 dwelling units on a 0.35 gross acre site.
The project will include one level of above-grade parking on the ground floor (under podium).
There will be outdoor residential courtyard amenity areas for residents located on the second
floor of the podium structure that will be surrounded on four sides by the building and a
southerly corner located roof deck on the sixth floor. Other areas of the site not covered by the
building structure include required pedestrian access paths, landscaping, and an additional
outdoor courtyard located at the building frontage. Partial areas of the combined stepped
down, flat roofs and all at-grade impervious areas will drain to a media filtration system, while
the remaining roof areas will be treated by flow-through planter boxes on the second-floor
podium and the sixth-floor sky deck.
The SCP will divide the site into three DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately
24% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining DMA, which accounts for
76% of the site, flows to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface will be
reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the exposed podium
courtyard, sixth floor sky deck, and ground-level plantings that will also provide some self-
treatment. Approximately 24% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas will drain to flow-
through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 24% of the site is proposed to
drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The DMAs draining to a media filtration system include roof
areas and ground-level required doorway landings and pedestrian access paths of travel to
the entrances near the rear of the site. The podium courtyard and roof deck will not have
enough space to accommodate LID treatment systems to treat the entire roof area. The
ground floor front entrance courtyard will be covered by the building roof, making LID
treatment infeasible in the area. The rest of the landscape located at the rear and sides of the
building will be used for other mechanical fixtures and the site’s retaining wall. There would not
be sufficient space to add C.3.d. sized LID treatment. Technical constraints and the project’s
72% building footprint preclude the use of100% LID treatment. The project is utilizing 76% of its
available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (approved plans dated 11/9//2016) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 53% of the C.3.d
amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
an 18-story building with approximately 700,000 square feet of office and retail space on a 2.53
gross acre site. The project will include five levels of above-grade interior parking and another
five levels of subgrade parking. There will be landscaping on courtyard, balcony, and terrace
areas for occupants located on the sixth, eighth, ninth, 10th, 13th, 14th , 16th, 17th , and 18th floors
scattered on each corner of the building. Other areas of the site not covered by the building
structures include the 19th floor roof area, the building frontage retail outdoor areas, landscape
tree planting buffers on the eastern edge of the property line, and a 20-foot wide water line
easement area (set by the San Jose Water Company) that runs along the entire length of the
westerly property line. The at-grade driveways, building frontage courtyards, easement areas,
balcony areas, and partial roof areas drain to two media filtration systems. The remaining
ground floor hardscaped areas and roof areas will drain to a bioretention area and flow-
through planter boxes on the sixth, eighth, and 13th floor balconies.
The SCP will divide the site into seven DMAs. Four of the DMAs, which account for
approximately 45% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Two DMAs, which account
for 47% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining DMA, which accounts for 8%
of the site, flows to a bioretention area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface areas
will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the exposed
podium courtyard, balcony, and terraces and ground-level plantings that will also provide
some self-treatment. Approximately 53% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas and
ground floor hardscape will drain to flow-through planter boxes and a bioretention area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 53% of the site will drain to LID
treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes and a bioretention area).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The two DMAs that will drain to media filtration systems
include at-grade driveways, building frontage courtyards, easements, balconies, and partial
roof areas. The driveways wrapping the easterly areas of the building will be next to an existing
row of trees that will remain and limit the space to accommodate C.3.d LID treatment sizing.
Balcony areas located on the same eastern portion of the driveway also have LID treatment
space constraints as the driveway. The building footprint will occupy approximately 83% of the
entire site, which creates ground floor space constraints. For example, since the at-grade
courtyards on the project site will abut retail storefronts, LID would conflict with the gathering
areas. Moreover, the doorways and pathways to the retail frontage limits the appropriate
sizing of LID treatment systems to treat any stormwater being directed to them. Further site
space constraints due to the underground garage areas provide vertical limitations to meeting
C.3.d. sizing requirements. A 20-foot-wide water line easement area located along the entire
westerly portion of the building, and required setbacks from adjacent properties also preclude
the project from using 100% LID treatment on the ground floor. The project is utilizing 47% of its
available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (approved plans dated 6/13/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was not possible to treat the C.3.d amount
of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a single 25-story high density mixed-use building with 307 apartment units and 52,167 square
feet of commercial and office space on a 0.89 gross acre site. The building footprint will
occupy approximately 92% of the entire site with parking located in a four-level, below-grade
garage under the building. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include
terraces throughout the second and third floors, private balconies throughout the height of the
building, rooftop common areas for social and recreational use, at-grade pedestrian
sidewalks, and landscaping.
The SCP consists of one DMA which accounts for 100% of the site and flows to a media filtration
system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface areas
will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the ground
floor frontage area, third floor common areas, and the rooftop garden that will provide some
self-treatment.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. The entire site will drain to a non-LID media
filtration system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Building roof areas, terraces throughout the second and
third floors, private balconies throughout the height of the building, rooftop common areas for
social and recreational use, at-grade pedestrian sidewalks, and landscaping will all drain to a
media filtration system. The lack of overall available space for stormwater treatment measures
precludes the project from providing 100% LID treatment. The landscape located on the
ground floor would not be able to accommodate the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID
treatment. Most of the ground floor will be used for an accessible path of travel from the public
street to the entrances near the rear of the site, such as the small public plaza and small patio
areas, doorway landings, a driveway entrance, and an underground garage. A majority of the
landscaping on the second and third floor terraces are intended to be used by the private
residential tenants and would not have adequate space to accommodate the C.3.d amount
of roof runoff for treatment. This leaves a small portion of available open space on the third-
floor common areas, which will be used to place garage vents and other necessary
mechanical fixtures. The project building will have limited and well-defined roof area uses that
prevent the use of LID measures. The roof area is designed to be a mezzanine for restaurant
use and includes a required amount of seating arrangements. The addition of flow-through
planter boxes would inhibit the required seating areas and the corresponding accessible paths
of travel. The project is utilizing all of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (initial plans dated 5/12/2017 and previously approved under PD15-061 dated 5/24/2016)
was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review
showed that it was possible to treat 25% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings
of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will
include three disconnected podium structure buildings on a 8.99 gross acre site. The first
building, separated from the other two buildings by Delmas Avenue, will have 325 multi-family
residential units with ground floor leasing and amenity areas and up to 2,751 square feet of
retail space. The other two buildings will be used for office space and up to 36,672 square feet
of retail space. The multi-family building will have two levels of below-grade parking and one
level of above-grade parking while the office buildings will have four levels of below-grade
parking. Areas not covered by the building structures will be comprised of plazas, courtyards,
walkways, driveways, and a public street. A majority of the roof, sidewalk, and podium deck
areas will drain to media filtration systems, a public street will drain to tree filters, and remaining
building roof areas and plaza hardscapes will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
The SCP divides the site into 14 DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately 24%
of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Five DMAs that account for approximately 60%
of the site drain to media filtration systems, while four DMAs flow to tree filter systems and make
up for 15% of the project site. One DMA accounting for 1% of the project site will be self-
treating.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface areas
will be reduced by incorporating turf block and landscape along Los Gatos Creek and the
Guadalupe River setbacks. Approximately 1% of the project site will be self-treating.
Approximately 24% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas and plaza hardscapes will drain
to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 24% of the site will drain to LID
treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The nine DMAs draining to tree filters and media filtration
systems include roof, sidewalk, and podium deck areas. Required ceiling height constraints
due to the underground garage areas below almost the entire project site would increase the
depth of the first level parking garage if LID systems were to be installed. Moreover, providing
LID treatment would cause an economic constraint due to excavation costs and increase in
expenses already being spent on dewatering the high groundwater table below the project
site. Required setbacks, walkway areas, plaza amenities, and tenant circulation designed to
meet high quality pedestrian standards also preclude the project from using 100% LID
treatment. The project is utilizing approximately 75% of its available 80% LID treatment
reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The current proposal of the project (based on revised plans dated 3/14/2017; converted from project
number H16-024) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results
of this review showed that it was possible to treat 4% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment.
The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a single 24-story high mixed-use building with 306 residential units, a 187-room hotel, 213,275
square feet of office space, up to 19,158 square feet of retail space, and 53,185 square feet of
Tech Museum expansion on a 2.54 gross acre site. Parking will be in a three-level, below-grade
garage under the building. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include
10 outdoor terraces on floors two through six, an at-grade paseo that divides the project site
and adjacent properties, at-grade pedestrian sidewalks, and building frontage landscaping.
The building roof areas, outdoor terraces, and a majority of the at-grade paseo will drain to
media filtration systems, while a small portion of the at-grade paseo will drain to a bioretention
area.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into four DMAs. Three of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 96% of the site, flow to media filtration systems. The remaining DMA,
which accounts for 4% of the project site will flow to a bioretention area.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of landscaping on the
ground floor paseo and frontage areas and containerized landscaping on the outdoor
terraces. Approximately 4% of the site’s runoff from the westerly portion of the ground floor
paseo hardscape will drain to a bioretention area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 4% of the
site will drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention area).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, the building roof areas, outdoor
terraces, and a majority of the at-grade paseo will drain to media filtration systems. A majority
of the site will be occupied by the building or an underground parking garage. An existing
fiber optic/telecommunication utility line runs along the entire southwesterly property line,
further restricting space for ground-floor LID treatment since the easement does not allow for
any structures. Most of the paseo falls above the underground garage, which will function as
an Emergency Vehicle Access area. The floors under the 10 outdoor terraces are museum
spaces that need to be free from columns. Therefore, wide beams will be installed to provide
the structural support necessary between the terrace and the floors below. The size of the
beams, however, relate directly to the load amount they can support. Increasing the weight
load for LID treatment on the terraces translates to increased beam depth, which would
compromise the clearing heights of the museum space below the terraces. The project is
currently utilizing 96% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (approved plans dated 4/11/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 43% of the C.3.d
amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The triangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist
of 97 multi-family residences and up to 1,000 square feet of commercial space on a 1.25 gross
acre site. Areas of the site not covered by the building structures will include a ground floor
courtyard, second floor podium-level courtyard, fourth floor lounge, roof deck, pool deck
areas, ground-floor building frontages, walkways, and narrow setbacks. Partial roof runoff will
be treated by flow-through planter boxes, a majority of ground-floor hardscapes will be self-
treating permeable pavers, while the remaining roof areas and podium-level courtyards will
drain to a media filtration system.
The SCP divides the site into seven DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for approximately
10% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Four of the DMAs, which account for 33%
of the site, consist of self-treating permeable pavers and landscape. The remaining DMA,
which accounts for approximately 57% of the site, flows to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface will be
reduced by making approximately 33% of the site at-grade self-treating permeable pavers
and landscaping. Approximately 10% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas will drain to
flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 10% of the site is proposed to
drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. A majority of the project’s roof areas and podium-level
courtyards will drain to a media filtration system. Approximately 67% of the project site will be
covered by building structures, providing some space constraints. Several open space areas
throughout the site are intended for public activation spaces, such as programmed seating,
art, and gathering areas. Areas that will be treated by media filtration systems are primarily
building areas that run along the lot line and internal podium structures. The podium levels
themselves will also have space constraints due to walkways, amenity spaces, and doorway
landings. Although there will be available spaces for treatment of roof areas on the podium
level, the structural components of the floor cannot accommodate the weight added by the
planters and the runoff it would receive. Areas along the street frontage courtyards will be
limited to retail use with doorway landings, seating, and gathering spaces. Areas along the
rear walkway cannot treat roof runoff due to the roof draining in the opposite direction. The
project is utilizing 57% of its available 65% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The project (approved plans dated 5/23/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat 31% of the C.3.d
amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The irregular-shaped project site is generally flat and will include
two high-rise towers with stepped-down flat roof designs connected by a podium-level
common amenities area on the third floor. The first building will be a 23-story residential tower
with 293 condominium units and 13,974 square feet of ground-level retail. The second building
will be a 24-story residential tower with 415 condominium units. The towers will be on top of a
parking structure that extends two levels above-grade and three levels below. Areas of the site
not covered by the building structures will include the podium-level common amenities area
and private balconies and decks throughout the extent of the tower. Additional areas not
covered by the building structures include the at-grade tower frontage and pedestrian
walkways. Portions of the combined stepped down flat roofs, at-grade impervious walkways,
and third-floor podium courtyard will drain to media filtration systems, while the remaining roof
areas and the third-floor podium amenity deck will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
The SCP divides the site into nine DMAs. Six of the DMAs, which account for approximately 31%
of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining three DMAs, which account for
approximately 69% of the site, flow to media filtration systems.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Impervious surface will be
reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the at-grade
frontage, podium level courtyards, and private amenities that will provide some self-treatment.
Approximately 31% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas will drain to flow-through planter
boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 31% of the site is proposed to
drain to LID treatment facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. Partial areas of the tower roofs, at-grade impervious walkways,
and the third-floor podium courtyard will drain to media filtration systems. The project will have 95%
coverage of the entire site by permanent structures that limit the space available to install LID
treatment systems on the ground floor for roof and third-floor podium courtyard runoff. Parking below
the third-floor podium courtyard limits LID treatment on the podium-level itself since the depth would
obstruct parking spaces and traffic below. The north tower sits along the lot line of the project site and
any space available for LID treatment would be blocked by doorway landings and retail frontage
gathering spaces. The five-foot impervious ground-level walkway located south of the southern tower
will be limited to a maintenance access walkway. LID treatment on the walkway would obstruct
maintenance staff operations. Moreover, LID treatment, such as permeable pavers on the
maintenance access walkway could negatively bring structural integrity problems of the building’s
foundation. The project is utilizing 69% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (revised plans dated 3/22/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100%
LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 35% of the
C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and will
consist of a single 24-story tower with up to 393 residential units and 7,144 square feet of
commercial space on the ground floor. There will be five and a half levels of above-grade
parking throughout the tower footprint. The first floor also includes amenities, mailing and
package rooms, a leasing office, and a lobby. Areas of the site not covered by building
structures will include building frontages with landscaping, an uncovered parking area on the
fifth-floor, and two outdoor terraces on the fifth and 17 th floors. The entire site, except for the
fifth-floor uncovered parking area will drain to media filtration systems. The fifth-floor uncovered
parking area will be treated by a flow-through planter box.
As currently designed, the SCP divides the site into three DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 65% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining
DMA, which accounts for approximately 35% of the site, drains to a flow-through planter box.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized
landscaping on the at-grade frontage areas and outdoor terraces that will provide some self-
treatment. Approximately 35% of the site’s runoff from the fifth-floor uncovered parking areas
will drain to a flow-through planter box.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 35% of the
site is proposed to drain to an LID treatment facility (flow-through planter box).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID Building frontages, ground-floor walkways, and two outdoor
terraces on the fifth and 17th floors will drain to media filtration systems. Since the proposed
building footprint will occupy approximately 87% of the site, the project has space constraints
that limit the installation of LID treatment. The building frontages and ground-floor walkways
require minimum widths for accessible pedestrian paths and drive aisles for vehicles that LID
treatment measures would conflict with if they were installed for treatment of both ground-
floor hardscape and roof runoff. Utility conflicts such as PG&E transformers, multiple backflow
prevention devices, fire pump rooms, and water tanks also restrict the project from providing
more LID treatment within the building footprint. The project is utilizing 65% of its available 90%
LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The current proposal of the project (revised plans dated 6/29/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the
possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat
29% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of a single seven-story building with 56 apartment units on a 0.41 gross acre site.
There will be a two-story, above-grade parking garage within the interior of the first two levels
of the building. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include at-grade
pedestrian sidewalks with landscaping, ground floor rear and frontage gardens, and a
seventh-floor sky terrace. Portions of the roof, seventh-floor sky terrace, and all at-grade
hardscapes will drain to a media filtration system, while the remaining roof areas and the
seventh-floor sky terrace podium amenity deck will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into four DMAs. Three of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 29% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. The remaining
DMA, which accounts for approximately 71% of the site, drains to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized
landscaping adjacent to the building and on the sky terrace that will all provide some self-
treatment. Approximately 29% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas and ground floor
hardscape will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 29% of the
site is proposed to drain to LID treatment features (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. As currently designed, portions of roof, the seventh-floor sky
terrace, and all the at-grade hardscapes will drain to media filtration systems. The project’s
long, narrow shape and its 82% coverage of permanent structures limit the space available for
C.3.d-sized LID treatment of roof areas and the seventh-floor sky deck. Installation of LID
treatment on the seventh-floor sky deck to treat roof areas would create structural integrity
challenges and consequential economic hardship to the applicant. The project is utilizing 71%
of its available 75% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (approved plans dated 3/22/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 70% of
the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a 19-story L-shaped tower with 14,800 square feet of retail and 260 residential units. Attached
will be a three-story garage with one level below-grade and three levels of above-grade
parking. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of second
and third floor vegetated loading dock rooftops, a podium level recreational area on the
fourth-floor podium level, sidewalks, and an at-grade uncovered parking garage driveway
area. Residential open space designed for recreation and social gatherings will be located
above the three-story garage, on the fourth-floor podium level. The proposed building footprint
will occupy approximately 70% of the entire site. A portion of the building roof, recreational
areas, and parking garage roof drainage will drain to a bioretention area and raised flow-
through planter boxes. The remainder of the 19-story tower roof area and uncovered parking
garage driveway areas will be directed to a media filtration system.
The SCP will divide the site into seven DMAs. Three of the DMAs, which account for
approximately 38% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. One DMA, which accounts
for 26% of the site, drains to a bioretention area. One DMA, which accounts for approximately
30% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. The remaining DMAs, which account for
approximately 6% of the site, are self-treating.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Approximately 6% of the
site will be self-treating areas that will include podium-level landscaping and vegetated
rooftops on the loading docks. Approximately 64% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas
and fourth floor podium level hardscape will drain to a bioretention area and flow-through
planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. Approximately 64% of the site is proposed to
drain to LID treatment features and facilities (bioretention area and flow-through planter
boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The roof of the 19-story tower and uncovered parking
garage driveway will be directed to a media filtration system. The combined elevation and
spacing gap between the residential tower and the fourth-floor podium level prohibits the
project from making a functional storm drain plumbing connection. Moreover, the second and
third floor loading dock rooftops could not convert proposed planters into LID treatment
because of structural load limitations of collecting roof runoff from the residential tower. The
exposed parking garage driveway is surrounded by the parking garage itself, building walls,
and mechanical equipment, and therefore, is isolated from any landscaping for LID treatment.
Technical constraints related to the elevation, space, and structural integrity of required utilities
and LID treatment sizing, including insufficient landscaping constraints on the parking garage
and pedestrian walkways preclude the use of 100% LID. The project is utilizing 30% of its
available 80% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site LID treatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The City has deemed this project application incomplete (based on revised plans dated 1/18/2017).
The City’s Special Projects Worksheet and Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment
Narrative were not included with the project submittal and will need to be submitted for review. The
current project proposal was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The
results of this review showed that it was not possible to treat the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID
treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The L-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of a
single eleven-story building with 101 apartment units on a 0.51 gross acre site. Approximately
4,305 square feet of commercial area will be located on the ground-level and approximately
7,261 square feet of office space on the second floor. There will be two levels of covered
parking, one located below-grade and the other on the ground floor. The proposed building
footprint will occupy almost 100% of the entire site. Areas of the site not covered by the
building structure will include walkways along the building’s side and rear peripheries and third
and 11th floor communally accessible patios and pool areas.
As currently designed, the site consists of one DMA which accounts for 100% of the site and
flows to a media filtration system.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface will be reduced by incorporating and several areas of landscaping that will
all provide some self-treatment on the third and eleventh floors.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 100% of the site is
proposed to drain to a non-LID media filtration system.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The City’s 30-Day Review letter to the project applicant has
required submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative.
Prior to granting project approval with the proposed LID Treatment reduction credits the City
will first establish infeasibility of treating 100% of the amount of runoff identified in Provision C.3.d
for the project’s drainage areas with LID treatment measures.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The City has deemed this project application incomplete (based on initial plans dated 2/6/2017). The
City’s Special Projects Worksheet and Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment
Narrative were not included with the project submittal and will need to be submitted for review. The
current project proposal was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The
results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 55% of the C.3.d amount of
runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily triangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of two residential buildings, two office buildings, and a garage building on a 16.7
gross acre site. The first seven-story residential building will have 15,000 square feet of retail
space on the ground floor with seven levels of parking, one below-grade and six above-grade.
The second eight-story residential building will include four levels of parking, one below-grade
and three above-grade. Both residential buildings amount to 871 total dwelling units. The office
buildings will both be five stories high, while the abutting parking garage intended for office
tenants will be seven stories above-grade. A public park will divide the site into two by
residential and office use areas. There will be terraces and courtyards landscaping with
walkways and pedestrian amenities on the podium structure within the residential buildings,
between each building, and on the public park. Other areas of the site not covered by the
building structures include surface parking located on the top level of the office parking
garage. Several building roof areas and a small driveway will drain to media filtration systems,
while walkways will be permeable and the remaining roof areas will be conveyed to flow-
through planter boxes.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into 45 DMAs. Seven DMAs, which account
for approximately 45% of the project site, drain to media filtration systems. Eight DMAs, which
account for 34% of the project site, will have landscaping and permeable pavers that will
provide self-treatment. The remaining thirty DMAs, which account for approximately 21% of the
site, drain to flow-through planter boxes.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 21%
of the site’s runoff from roof areas drain to flow-through planter boxes. Approximately 34% of
the site is designated as landscaping and permeable pavers that will provide self-treatment.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 21% of the site will drain to
flow-through planter boxes.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The City’s 30-Day Review letter to the project applicant has
required submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative.
Prior to granting project approval with the proposed LID Treatment reduction credits the City
will first establish infeasibility of treating 100% of the amount of runoff identified in Provision C.3.d

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (approved plans dated 6/14/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing
100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 41% of
the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The square-shaped project site is generally flat and will consist of
a six-story building with 71 affordable residential units with 12,175 square feet of commercial
space on the ground floor. The project will include two levels of above-grade parking (under
podium). The proposed building footprints will occupy approximately 95% of the entire site.
There will be residential courtyard amenity areas with planters located on the third floor of the
podium structure, all surrounded on four sides by the building. Other areas of the site not
covered by the building structures include a roof deck amenity with containerized planters
and at-grade flow-through planter boxes, a bioretention area, walkways, street trees, and
containerized landscaping. Several building roof, podium walkway, and at-grade hardscape
areas will drain to media filtration systems. The remaining roof areas will be conveyed to flow-
through planter boxes and a bioretention area, while the rest of the ground-level walkways will
be permeable pavers.
The SCP will divide the site into seven DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which account for
approximately 5% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Two DMAs, which account
for approximately 59% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. One DMA, which accounts
for approximately 30% of the site, drains to a bioretention area. One DMA, which accounts for
2% of the site, drains to self-retaining permeable pavers. The remaining DMA, which accounts
for 4% of the site, consists of self-treating permeable pavers and landscaping.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Approximately 9% of the
site will consist of self-retaining and self-treating permeable pavers. Impervious surfaces will also
be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized landscaping on the exposed roof
deck, podium courtyard, and ground-level areas that will provide some self-treatment.
Approximately 35% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas will drain to flow-through planter
boxes and a bioretention area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. The project site will drain 35% of its runoff to LID
treatment facilities (flow-through planter boxes and a bioretention area).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The two DMAs draining to the media filtration systems
include roof, podium walkway, and at-grade hardscape areas. Planned and required
hardscapes, furniture, and landscaping preclude the project from providing LID treatment of
roof areas on the third-floor podium and treatment of the podium itself due to structural weight
capacity issues and space constraints in the podium courtyard. Further space constraints, such
as ground-floor doorway landings along King Street limit the available area for LID treatment of
roof areas and podium hardscapes. The project is utilizing approximately 59% of its available
75% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Coyote Creek watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment facilities to
treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at this time for
the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

The City has deemed this project application incomplete (based on initial plans dated 4/25/2017). The
City’s Special Projects Worksheet and Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment
Narrative were not included with the project submittal and will need to be submitted for review. The
current project proposal was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The
results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 66% of the C.3.d amount of
runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of a six-story office building, a six-story garage building, a seven-story mixed-use
building with 236 residential units and 10,000 square feet of retail, and a seven-story residential
building with 263 dwelling units on a 10.2 gross acre site. The garage building will have six levels
of parking, one below-grade and five above-grade. The mixed-use building will have three
levels of parking, one below-grade and two above-grade. The residential building will include
three levels of parking, one below-grade and three above-grade. Both buildings with
residential uses amount to 499 total dwelling units. There will be terraces and courtyards with
landscaping, walkways, and pedestrian amenities between each building and on the podium
structures of the office, mixed-use, and residential buildings. Other areas of the site not
covered by the building structures include surface parking located on top level of the parking
garage building and driveway areas along each end of the site. Two buildings and a driveway
will drain to media filtration systems, while the remaining buildings and driveway drain to flow-
through planter boxes. The walkways and courtyards throughout the project site will be self-
treating permeable pavers.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into 16 DMAs. Nine DMAs, which account for
approximately 38% of the project site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Two DMAs, which
account for 34% of the project site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining two DMAs
will be self-treating permeable pavers, which account for approximately 28% of the site.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, 38%
of the site’s runoff from roof areas drain to flow-through planter boxes. Approximately 28% of
the site is designated as self-treating permeable pavers.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, 38% of the site will drain to
flow-through planter boxes.
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The City’s 30-Day Review letter to the project applicant has
required submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative.
Prior to granting project approval with the proposed LID Treatment reduction credits the City
will first establish infeasibility of treating 100% of the amount of runoff identified in Provision C.3.d
for the project’s drainage areas with LID treatment measures.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the San Tomas Aquino watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site biotreatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

FY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report Appendix 3.1
Permittee Name: City of San José
The project (initial plans dated 5/17/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the possibility of providing 100%
LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 73% of the
C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of an 18-story building over 10,146 square feet of retail with up to 304 residential units
and five levels of parking, four levels below-grade and one level above-grade. Areas of the
site not covered by the building structure will be comprised of at-grade walkways, private and
communal terraces on the second, third, and fifth floors, a pool deck on the 17 th floor, and
private balconies from levels three through 18. The proposed building footprint will occupy
approximately 93% of the entire site. A portion of the building roof will be directed to flow-
through planter boxes. The remainder of the building roof areas, including the terraces, pool
deck, and balconies will be directed to media filtration systems.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into five DMAs. Two of the DMAs, which
account for approximately 71% of the site, drain to flow-through planter boxes. Two DMAs,
which accounts for 27% of the site, drain to media filtration systems. The remaining DMA, which
accounts for approximately 2% of the site, consists of landscaping that will provide self-
treatment.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. Approximately 2% of the
site will have landscaping on the second, third, and fifth floor terraces that will provide some
self-treatment. Approximately 71% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas and fourth floor
podium level hardscape will drain to flow-through planter boxes.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 71% of the
site is proposed to drain to LID treatment features and facilities (flow-through planter boxes).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. A majority of the project roof areas, including the terraces,
pool deck, and balconies will be directed to media filtration systems. The building’s proximity to
the property line and the locations of the terrace and pool amenities on the second, third, and
fifth floors limit the available space for LID treatment facilities on the ground floor. Moreover,
possible locations for LID treatment facilities are already being occupied by flow-through
planter boxes that will treat portions of the building’s roof. The balcony areas from floors three
through 18 cannot drain to LID treatment since the landscaping on the second floor are
separated by a walkway. Technical constraints related to the space and location of LID
treatment, including insufficient landscaping preclude the use of 100% LID. The project is
utilizing approximately 27% of its available 100% LID treatment reduction credits.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another
site within the Guadalupe River watershed to accommodate in perpetuity off-site LID treatment
facilities to treat runoff for this project. A regional LID stormwater mitigation program is not available at
this time for the project to use in-lieu C.3 compliance.

Permittee Name: City of San José
The current project proposal (based on initial plans dated 5/18/2017) was reviewed to evaluate the
possibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The City has deemed this application incomplete since the
submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative did not adequately
establish the infeasibility of providing 100% LID treatment. The results of this review showed that it was
possible to treat 88% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID treatment. The findings of this review are
presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily square-shaped project site is generally flat and will
consist of a six-story, 132-room hotel with a ground-level restaurant, lounge, and administrative
office areas on a 0.42 gross acre site. The hotel will have three levels of below-grade parking.
Areas of the site not covered by the building structures include at-grade driveways, walkways,
and a communal courtyard. A small portion of the exposed driveway and walkway will drain
to a media filtration system, while the courtyard, remaining walkways, and the entire building’s
roof areas will be conveyed to a bioretention area.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into two DMAs. One of the DMAs, which
accounts for approximately 88% of the site, drains to a bioretention area. The other DMA,
drains to a media filtration system and accounts for approximately 12% of the site.
b. Self-treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed, the
current plans demonstrate that impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating
several areas of ground-level decorative landscaping around the walkways that will also
provide some self-treatment. Approximately 88% of the site’s runoff from building roof areas
and ground floor hardscape will drain to a bioretention area.
c. Maximizing Flow to LID Features and Facilities. As currently designed, approximately 88% of the
site is proposed to drain to an LID treatment feature and facility (bioretention area).
d. Constraints to Providing On-site LID. The City’s 30-Day Review letter to the project applicant
has required submittal of the Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment
Narrative. Prior to granting project approval with the proposed LID Treatment reduction credits
the City will first establish infeasibility of treating 100% of the amount of runoff identified in
Provision C.3.d for the project’s drainage areas with LID treatment measures.
Off-site LID treatment will not be used because the project proponent has not proposed to use another

Special Projects Worksheet and Feasibility/Infeasibility of Onsite and Offsite LID Treatment Narrative
were not included with the project submittal and will need to be submitted for review. The results of this
review showed that it was possible to treat approximately 6% of the C.3.d amount of runoff with LID
treatment. The findings of this review are presented below.
a. On-Site Drainage Conditions. The primarily rectangular-shaped project site is generally flat and
will consist of a single eight-story mixed-use building with 80 residential units and 10,192 square
feet of commercial space on a 0.47 gross acre site. The proposed building footprint will
occupy approximately 88% of the entire site with two levels of parking, one below-grade and
one above-grade. Areas of the site not covered by the building structure will include outdoor
courtyards on the second and eighth floors, a communal terrace on the eighth floor, and
walkways that wrap around half of the building. A majority of the project site runoff (roof,
courtyards, and terrace) will drain to a media filtration system. The second-floor courtyard will
partially be treated by interceptor tree credits.
As currently designed, the SCP will divide the site into two DMAs. One of the DMAs, which
accounts for approximately 94% of the site, drains to a media filtration system. The remaining
DMA will be treated through 10 interceptor tree credits and accounts for approximately 6% of
the site.
b. Self-Treating and Self-Retaining Areas and LID Treatment Measures. As currently designed,
impervious surface areas will be reduced by incorporating several areas of containerized
landscaping on the outdoor courtyards on the second and eighth floors and a communal

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Supplement to the Long-Term Plan
The City of San José (City) submitted its initial Clean Waterways, Healthy City: Long-Term
Trash Load Reduction Plan (Long-Term Plan) and Assessment Strategy on January 15, 2014 in
compliance with MRP provision C.10.c. Consistent with provision C.10 requirements, the goal
of the Long-Term Plan is to address trash problems in receiving waters by reducing the
impacts associated with trash in discharges from the City of San José’s municipal separate
storm sewer system (MS4) that are regulated by NPDES Permit requirements.
The reissued MRP (Order R2-2015-0049) was adopted by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board (Water Board) on November 19, 2015 and went into effect on January 1, 2016. The
City now presents this update to the Long-Term Plan (Supplemental) in compliance with
Provision C.10.d of the new MRP. The supplement includes:
1. Descriptions of the current level of implementation of trash control measures and the
type and extent to which new or enhanced control measures will be implemented to
achieve a target of 100% (i.e., full) trash reduction from MS4s by July 1, 2022, with
interim milestones of 70% reduction by July 1, 2017 and 80% reduction by July 1, 2019;
and
2. Projected time schedules for implementing control measures and the
assessment strategy.
The City reserves the right to update the plan and future control measures described based
on its own discretion.

Also, after programming portions of three TMAs, the programmed areas were renamed and
split into separate TMAs. TMAs 8ST and 8W were subareas of the City’s business districts where
public litter cans were added. A third TMA, 8 SR Pilot, was created to evaluate the results of a
business engagement pilot that commenced and was completed in FY 15-16. The addition
of these 3 new areas raised the total number of TMAs from 47 to 50.

This information was utilized to support the City’s trash generation and collection
information.
o In 2013, San José Park Rangers’ Watershed Protection Team, started patrolling
waterways to reduce illegal encampment activity and issuing criminal citations
to individuals for illegal activity that results in waterway degradation. Rangers
and PRNS maintenance staff also conduct and supervise volunteer on-land and
creek cleanup activity along City trails and waterways.
o Implemented opportunities to organize on-land cleanups activities at schools.
• Post-2014:
o Evaluate the opportunity to create new Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in
areas where the land use is predominantly commercial business through which
on-land cleanups could be coordinated within the business zone.
o Evaluate the feasibility of expanded on-land trash cleanups; creek, channel, and
shoreline cleanups; and community engagement to manage trash within parks.
o Continue to seek and implement opportunities to partner with schools to
conduct on-land cleanups.
o The City’s Anti-Litter Program continues to engage residents and businesses in
litter cleanups. The Program monitors litter “hot spots” throughout the City. These
locations require regular and extensive cleanup efforts to combat trash.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide an update on the City of San José’s Direct Discharge
Trash Control Program (Program) submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board on
February 1, 2016 and approved by the Board on August 3, 2016. This report provides an update
on the City’s implementation of the Program, including a summary of current conditions, data
collected, challenges, and lessons learned. The report will also summarize adjustments made
during the Program’s first year of implementation and present plans to improve the Program’s
ongoing monitoring plan and performance metrics.
The information collected during the Program’s first year of implementation will serve as a
baseline and allow staff to document the Program’s progress over time.
Phase 4:
Encampment
Phase 1: Phase 2: Phase 3: Prevention
Outreach to Encampment Creek Cleanup (Watershed
Encampment Dismantling Protection Team -
(City Staff, DST, Rangers,
Residents (HRT) Volunteers) Wardens,
structural
barriers)
During Phase 1, City staff and contractors, such as HomeFirst and People Assisting the Homeless
(PATH), conduct outreach to encampment residents. HomeFirst and PATH provide services,
shelter and housing opportunities to the homeless in the Downtown core and throughout the
City of San José. The objective is to provide outreach services and street base case
management and alternative housing opportunities to the homeless to reduce the number of
homeless individuals living in encampments. This phase may be repeated if re-encampments
occur.
During Phase 2, (after required noticing and property storage occur) large encampment
structures and items are removed by the City’s HRT and a construction company contractor. The
objective is to clear the site from ongoing habitations and remove the majority of the
accumulated debris. Depending on the size of the encampment, this phase may take
A-134
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report Appendix 10.6
Permittee Name: City of San José
anywhere from hours to several days to complete and is repeated, if the area becomes re-
encamped.
During Phase 3, City staff, volunteer organizations, and/or contracted staff conduct multiple
cleanups. The objective is to remove any remaining residual trash that may not have been
collected during Phase 2. Also during this phase, appropriate locations for structural barriers may
be identified. This phase can take up to six months, repeating as long as is necessary.
During Phase 4, the WPT regularly patrols and cleans the areas in partnership with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife; depending on the location and available resources, Rangers
may patrol up to a daily basis. During this phase, structural barriers may be installed at locations
previously identified. Finally, Downtown Streets Team (DST) begins reactivation of the site with
regular sweeps of priority areas. If DST team members encounter homeless individuals as they
sweep, they engage them in peer-to-peer conversations aimed at connecting them with
services and moving them out of the area. The objective is to minimize re-encampment and
bring the site to a “maintenance level” which allows the habitat to recover. This phase is
ongoing. If re-encampment occurs, Phases 1, 2 and 3 are repeated.
Project Areas are specific priority locations within Focus Zones. In Project Areas, more tightly
coordinated and frequent activity is deployed to clear homeless encampments, remove
residual trash, and prevent campers from reestablishing encampments in a more systematic
way.
In FY 16-17, there was a concerted effort to implement the phased approach on Focus Zone #1
since the majority of the trash and encampment population resides there. The following
subsections will provide in depth descriptions of efforts occurring within each Project Area.
Project Area #1: A 30.4-acre area along Coyote Creek at Story Road (See Map 2: Project Area
#1) known as “Coyote Meadows” (previously known as “the Jungle”), has received the
concentrated attention of the Program since September 2014 and reached Phase 4 in June
2015 where regular patrolling and cleanups maintain the area free of entrenched
encampments.
A community planning process has begun for Coyote Meadows to create a new open space
park, supporting permanent Phase 4 status for this area. The Coyote Meadows Coalition is

Project Area #2: A 120-acre area of undeveloped park land adjacent to the Los Lagos Golf
Course, located between Tully Road and Capitol Expressway (See Map 3: Project Area #2), also
known as the “Tea Cups”, will receive the next concerted effort to implement the Program’s
phased approach. In June 2017, California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wardens
accompanied Program staff on an assessment of the Project Area, from Tully Road upstream to
Yerba Buena Road, to measure trash impact levels and encampments. Staff observed trash
levels ranging between moderate and very high and counted approximately 63 camps.
The “Tea Cups” area along Coyote Creek at Capital Expressway near Lone Bluff Park has
received concentrated attention since the inception of the WPT. This includes regular patrolling
and abatements in an effort to maintain the area free of entrenched encampments. The
Watershed Protection Team continues to provide encampment abatement, trash removal, and
disbursement services. Plans are currently being discussed regarding future use for Project Area
#2 and may include additional deterrent and patrolling efforts to permanently remove any
entrenched encampments from the area.
Discussions to plan and develop a park in Project Area #2 have continued to occur. In early
2017, the City conducted a survey to assess the community’s preferences for the future of the
Los Lagos Golf Course. Most survey respondents believe trails, open space, parks and
playgrounds should be included in the golf course’s future. Respondents also sited Coyote Creek
cleanups as one of the most important improvements the course could make. The information
provided in this survey highlights the potential for this area to reach and maintain Phase 4 of the
Program.
Project Area #3: A 66-acre park-like area adjacent to the San José Municipal Golf Course
between Highway 880 and Hazlett Way (See Map 4: Project Area #3), also known as “North San
José”, is the Program’s 3rd Project Area. While this area was not prioritized to reach Phase 4 in FY
16-17, the City conducted Phases 1-3 of the Program here. The City plans to concentrate its
efforts on Project Area #3 in FY 18-19 to progress towards Phase 4.
Housing outreach teams regularly visit encampments located along the Guadalupe River to
educate residents about housing and other social services. The City’s HRT conducts weekly
encampment abatements along the river and community groups coordinate regular cleanups
to remove residual trash left from dismantled encampments. The City’s WPT and California
Department of Fish and Wildlife Wardens also respond to calls and complaints along Guadalupe
River.
A-136
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report Appendix 10.6
Permittee Name: City of San José
The City continues to implement Phases 1-3 in Focus Zone #3. Housing outreach teams visit
encampments along Los Gatos Creek to refer residents to housing and social services. The HRT
conducts encampment abatements on Los Gatos Creek as they are reported to the City, and
community groups schedule volunteer cleanups along the creek to remove trash once
encampments are dismantled. While the City’s WPT does not conduct regular patrols on Los
Gatos Creek, they do respond to calls and complaints as necessary.
3.0 MONITORING
The following subsections contain descriptions of the performance indicators that, collectively,
are intended to document the progress of the City’s Program. Table 2 below contains the list of
performance indicators and the frequency with which they were collected. Each following
subsection contains the data collected.
The data in this report covers FY16-17, however it does not include information for July 2016 since
the Program was not approved until August 2016 (staff did collect some data for July). The City
defines “Entire Waterway Stretches” as all sections of Coyote Creek, Guadalupe River, and Los
Gatos Creek that are within San José’s jurisdiction.
Performance indicators and maps in this report do not include sections of waterways where staff
was not able to conduct Program activities, reasons for which are discussed in Section 4.1.
A-137
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report Appendix 10.6
Permittee Name: City of San José
Semi-annual totals for entire waterway stretches were calculated by aggregating the total
amount of structures logged during the month of the semi-annual surveys (December and
August). The totals are presented in Table 3 below.
Monthly totals for Focus Zones were calculated by totaling the median number of structures per
segment within the Focus Zones. These totals are presented in Table 4 below. The median was
used to address redundancy in the data since multiple teams logged structures each month.
Segments are used on the encampment location maps (See Maps 5-15) to provide clarity and
to simplify the appearance of the data. The segments used were created in partnership with the
Santa Clara Valley Water District and represent sections of creeks between access roads.
Fluctuations in monthly encampment counts for Focus Zones exist due to constraints
experienced by each department. For example, WPT Park Rangers were not able to patrol
several areas of the Focus Zones due to reports of repeated violence and staffing shortages. In
addition, weather conditions during the wet season impacted the total number of assessments
made by Program staff.
See Section 4.1 for a summary of challenges that limited Program staff from conducting their
respective phases of the Program. In addition, see encampment location maps for areas of
waterways that were unmonitored due to these challenges.

team’s site visit logs and HRT abatement documentation.
See Maps 5-16 for monthly and semi-annual encampment waterway maps.
Tons of trash removed from HRT and WPT cleanups is reported in Table 5 below. The City tracks
the location, date, and weight or volume of trash removed during each cleanup conducted.

The City’s WPT patrols areas within all three Focus Zones to deter re-encampment. Tables 6 and 7
below illustrate the level of enforcement activity conducted to deter encampments from
locating near waterways.
In FY 16-17, enforcement along waterways and Focus Zones was limited due to staff shortages,
weather conditions, and safety concerns. For example, there was an increase in criminal activity
and violent acts in Project Area #2, which temporarily suspended patrols in area between Tully
Road and Stonegate Park in September 2016. Monthly enforcement data fluctuates due to
these challenges, which are further discussed in Section 4.1.

The number of individuals referred to services and the number of individuals housed is reported
in Table 8 below. The monthly number of individuals referred to services is retrieved from Program
partner, HomeFirst, a City contractor that provides outreach and case management services.
HomeFirst records a referral when an unduplicated client is newly referred to services. An
unduplicated client is defined as an individual who chooses to provide their first and last name,
complete an intake, and sign a release of information rather than withhold information. The
monthly number of individuals housed is also retrieved from HomeFirst. HomeFirst records when
A-140
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report Appendix 10.6
Permittee Name: City of San José
an individual is officially housed upon exit of their program. This metric does not take into
account individuals that were housed without HomeFirst’s services.
In FY 16-17, the City and its partners did not record where an individual was located when they
were referred to services or housed. Therefore, the City is only able to provide jurisdiction-wide
referral and housing data in this report. To improve data collection in FY 17-18, the City will work
with its partners to obtain referral and housing data according to each Focus Zone and Entire
Waterway Stretch.
The biennial homeless census collects demographic information about San José’s homeless
population and is the primary source of change in the number of homeless individuals from two
years prior. In the 2017 census, there were 643 individuals counted in encampment areas. This
represents a 17% decrease from 778 in 2015 and continues a downward trend from 2013, when
1,230 individuals were observed living in encampments.
Trash impact level was recorded during quarterly creek assessments conducted by ESD staff. In
the first quarter, staff graded trash impact level on a Low, Moderate, High, Very High scale
based on field experience.
4.1 Challenges
In FY 16-17, staff encountered challenges that inhibited the ability to monitor sections of Coyote
Creek, Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek. These challenges include:
• Safety – A number of safety incidents have prohibited access to several segments of
waterways.
o Illegal campers, other individuals, and dogs off leash have threatened staff
during assessments.
A-141
FY 2016-2017 Annual Report Appendix 10.6
Permittee Name: City of San José
o The WPT and San José Police Department have restricted staff and volunteers
from entering sections of the waterways due to criminal activity.
• Inaccessibility – Physical barriers and other restrictions limited full access to entire stretch
of waterways.
o Steep banks or heavy vegetation limit full access to some locations.
o Certain trails and service roads do not allow staff to get close enough to clearly
assess the waterway for encampments or trash impact level.
o City does not have legal access to privately owned sections of the waterways.
o Weather-related events, such as the persistent storms and flooding, limited
access to riparian corridors and delayed assessments.
• Flooding – winter storms resulted in unprecedented flooding in San José, skewing trash
impact level data.
o After the flood event on February 20, 2017, staff observed an influx of trash and
debris deposited along banks and in trees within all three of the Focus Zones.
o Until the flood, trash impact level data may have indicated gradual progress of
the program, but the recent trash deposition indicates otherwise.
• Staffing – Staffing shortages on the City’s WPT limited their capacity to patrol the City’s
waterways, as outlined in the original plan.
o Currently, the WPT has two full-time Park Rangers, one part-time Park Ranger
(working one day per week), and one Senior Park Ranger. In FY 16-17, WPT
operated at 50% capacity due to two vacancies.
Staff learned several lessons and made adjustments to the Program during the first year of
implementation. These lessons and adjustments are summarized below.
• Aggregating data from multiple parties can lead to redundancy in reporting.
o To adjust, staff used the median number of structures in the encampment count
data, gathered from multiple sources, to reduce the potential of counting camps
more than once.
o Staff also asked internal and external Program partners to log information into
Survey123, an app used to centralize the data collection process.
• Accessibility challenges can lead to inconsistent data collection.
o In FY 17-18, program staff will note instances where accessibility is difficult and
document areas where monitoring cannot occur. For instance, steep banks,
heavy vegetation, and inaccessible trails.
• Standard operating procedures for safety are necessary to establish appropriate
expectations for data collection.
o Staff developed standard operating procedures for field safety as concerns
become apparent. For example, staff began monitoring waterways from vehicles
when safety escorts were not available.
o Staff maintained a log with safety incidents and created a safety notification
alert system using an email listserv.
• Program success is highly dependent on interdepartmental coordination.
o Staff work with each of the departments involved to align goals and priorities.
o Department leadership is invested in the success of the Program.

• Staff intends to make the following modifications and will amend the monitoring
frequency of performance indicators to better allocate resources.
o Quarterly assessments will provide comparable results to monthly assessments,
while also creating the bandwidth to focus on identifying and implementing
actions to address security concerns or increasing the number of staff conducting
the assessment.
o In addition, staff will collect housing metrics annually since housing is a multi-step
process that is difficult to capture on a monthly basis.
o Staff also plans to collect information within Project Areas, in addition to entire
waterway stretches and Focus Zones.
o Monitoring progress made within each Project Area would better demonstrate if
the Program’s phased approach is working.
Table 9 below contains the frequencies for monitoring and data collection planned for FY 17-18.
5.0 SUMMARY
The City of San José developed this comprehensive, multi-year Direct Discharge Trash Control
Program to address trash along and in its major waterways resulting from homeless
encampments. The Program is designed to evolve as lessons are learned, and will continue
through the entire term of the Municipal Regional Permit Order No. R2-2015-0049, with the goal
of these major waterways becoming largely trash-free.
During the Program’s first year of implementation, the City experienced several challenges and
learned valuable lessons relating to data collection, monitoring, field safety, and
interdepartmental coordination. Staff made several adjustments included in this report to
address these challenges and is confident the planned and implemented adjustments will
contribute to safe and successful implementation of the Program.
It is difficult to identify any significant trends in the data since this is the Program’s first year of
implementation. The data presented in this report serves as baseline information to compare

with data collected in future years. As more information is collected, trends to document
progress may become more apparent. Staff plans to include a comparison of FY 16-17 to 17-18
data in the next progress report.
The Direct Discharge Trash Control Program works to jointly achieve the City's trash reduction
requirements and the City's goal to end homelessness. Thus far, the City has seen success with
aligning departmental goals and ensuring all partners are invested in the Program. The
Program’s phased approach will be effective at reducing direct discharges of trash into
waterways from homeless encampments once all phases are fully implemented in the project
areas.
