STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
WORKSHOP SESSION – DIVISION OF CLEAN WATER PROGRAMS
July 3, 2001
ITEM 4
SUBJECT
PROPOSED RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PETROLEUM UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (UST) EMERGENCY, ABANDONED, RECALCITRANT (EAR) ACCOUNT FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2001-2002 ANNUAL SITE LIST; AND, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OR HER DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS AND AMENDMENTS WITH DESIGNATED LOCAL IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES (LIAs).
DISCUSSION
Chapter 6.75 of the Health and Safety Code authorizes the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to contract for corrective action or to provide funds to Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) and LIAs to initiate corrective action at petroleum UST sites: (1) which require prompt action to protect human health or the environment; (2) for which a responsible party cannot be identified or located (abandoned site); or, (3) where the identified responsible party is either unable or unwilling to take the required corrective action (recalcitrant site). The FY 2001-2002 budget for the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund (USTCF) Program requests a $5 million appropriation for this function. The SWRCB has established procedures for administering the EAR Account, which include the adoption of an annual site list of abandoned and recalcitrant sites nominated by a RWQCB to receive EAR Account funding.
On January 18, 2001, the SWRCB requested the RWQCBs to: (1) contact LIAsto identify any abandoned and recalcitrant petroleum UST sites for inclusion on the EAR Account FY 2001-2002 Annual Site List, and (2) submit their annual list of recommended RWQCB and LIA sites to the SWRCB for EAR Account funding.
Five RWQCBs responded, nominating a total of 23 eligible sites. Sufficient funding is available to provide the requested funding for all 23 eligible sites.
POLICY ISSUE
Should the SWRCB adopt the EAR Account FY 2001-2002 Annual Site List, to provide funding to the designated oversight agencies to initiate direct site cleanup at listed UST sites? and,
Should the SWRCB authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to execute contracts and amendments with designated LIAs?
FISCAL IMPACT
An EAR Account appropriation of $5,000,000.00 from the USTCF has been requested for FY 2001-2002. This is sufficient to provide the requested funding for all eligible listed sites. Also, sufficient funds are included in the budget to cover RWQCB staff time needed to administer listed sites.
RWQCB IMPACT
Five sites will be administered by RWQCBs. The remaining 18 sites will be administered by LIAs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the SWRCB adopt a resolution to grant EAR funding, as specified in the EAR Account FY 2001-2002 Annual Site List, and that the SWRCB authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to execute contracts and amendments with LIAs designated as oversight agencies on the Annual Site List.
