1      Introduction
General Information about the District Work Plan

The District Work Plans (DWPs) describe the organization of each California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District’s stormwater program and outline the
planned stormwater activities for the upcoming fiscal year. They are prepared and
submitted on October 1 each year. Since the DWP is District-specific, each Regional
Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) is provided a copy of the DWPs relevant
to their jurisdiction.

This DWP presents information about District 6’s water bodies, Best Management
Practices (BMPs), and monitoring programs. It describes how the District will specifically
implement the requirements of the Statewide Stormwater Management Plan
(SWMP) during fiscal year 2020-2021. Implementation activities will be conducted in
accordance with the procedures presented in the SWMP. In addition, this DWP fulfills
Provision E.3.b of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Statewide Storm Water Permit Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for
State of California Department of Transportation (Order Number 2012-0011-DWQ,
NPDES Number CAS000003, Effective July 1, 2013) (NPDES Permit). The NPDES
Permit was amended by Orders WQ 2014-0006-EXEC (January 17, 2014), WQ
2014-0077-DWQ (May 20, 2014), and WQ 2015-0036-EXEC (April 7, 2015). A
conformed NPDES Permit was issued on April 7, 2015 (Conformed NPDES Permit),
available on the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) website
(http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/board_decisions/adopted_orders/water_quality/2012/w
q2012_0011_dwq_conformed_signed.pdf).

The NPDES Permit was further amended by Order WQ 2017-0026-EXEC on November
27, 2017. This permit amendment describes the primary modifications to several Areas
of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) sampling locations and incorporation of
compliance units crediting due to the SWRCB's adoption of the Trash Provisions on
April 7, 2015 (effective on December 3, 2015).

The DWP’s eight sections describe how the District plans to implement the stormwater
program during the upcoming fiscal year. Section 1 introduces the DWP, describes its
organizational structure, and identifies the key goals and commitments made by the
District for the upcoming fiscal year. Section 2 describes the personnel with stormwater
operations responsibilities in the District. In Section 3, the District’s facilities are listed
and categorized by type and location. Section 4 describes and identifies the high-risk
locations where spills from the District’s owned rights-of-way (ROW), roadways or
facilities can discharge directly to a drinking water reservoir or ground water recharge
facility. In Section 5, the District’s road segments that are prone to erosion are identified.
Section 6 summarizes the District’s implementation activities, including projects that will
be in the design and construction phases during the fiscal year, maintenance projects,
and planned stormwater monitoring activities. Section 7 identifies the planned
region-specific activities (if applicable) to address the requirements listed in Attachment
V of the Conformed NPDES Permit. Section 8 identifies deviations that occurred from

1 Introduction                                1                       Fiscal Year 2020-2021
the prior DWP that resulted or will result in noncompliance with the Conformed NPDES
Permit or SWMP and describes improvements performed in response to the incidents of
noncompliance.

District Goals and Commitments

The District will continue to implement the current SWMP, Stormwater Quality
Handbooks, and guidance to ensure that every construction project and all maintenance
activities execute the appropriate combination of temporary and permanent BMPs. The
District will participate with the Headquarters Division of Environmental Analysis to
evaluate and implement necessary process improvements to the stormwater program,
and the District will enact any improvements deemed necessary. The District will
continue to administer the requirements of the Statewide Construction General Permit
(CGP) Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ including electronic submittals of Project
Registration Documents via the SWRCB’s Stormwater Multiple Application and Report
Tracking System (SMARTS). The District will continue to carry out the requirements of
the Conformed NPDES Permit, including its compliance monitoring practices, enhanced
BMP implementation, stormwater documentation tracking and reporting, and partnering
with various local agencies.

The District will also continue its commitment to partnering with the Fresno Metropolitan
Flood Control District (FMFCD) and the Partners for a Clean Community group to
conduct public education and outreach on water quality issues within the surrounding
communities. The Partners for a Clean Community group was established as a result of
a former cooperative agreement. Its members include Caltrans, FMFCD, the City of
Fresno, the City of Clovis and the County of Fresno. The partnership increased Public
Service Announcement (PSA) development and lowered advertising costs for the group
as a whole, to increase the frequency of stormwater pollution prevention messages
reaching the community. The District will work on establishing a new Cooperative
Agreement with FMFCD to continue public outreach and education efforts.
Another commitment for the District is to continue working with the Central Valley Water
Awareness Committee (CVWAC). The District has regularly attended meetings with the
CVWAC as a guest since 2007. Members include the Association of Metropolitan Water
Agencies, Bakman Water Company, City of Clovis Public Utilities Department, City of
Fresno Water and Wastewater Divisions, Fresno Irrigation District, FMFCD, Kings River
Conservation District, and Malaga County Water District. The CVWAC promotes
awareness of safe and reliable water while encouraging water conservation and
pollution prevention practices. The CVWAC produces an annual public education
campaign to promote Water Awareness Month each May, along with other events and
activities throughout the year within Fresno County and the Central San Joaquin Valley.

The District NPDES/Stormwater unit will increase communication, collaboration and
coordination with the District’s Divisions of Planning and Local Assistance, Design,
Maintenance, Construction, Landscape Architecture, Right of Way, Hydraulics, and
Encroachment Permits by holding meetings (and focused meetings as needed), to
ensure SWMP implementation and compliance with stormwater policies.

The District will also collaborate with our media partners to bring attention to stormwater
issues/pollutants under the Protect Every Drop Campaign. Media spots will focus on
how to reduce highway pollution and highlight the key vehicle pollutants related to
vehicle maintenance.

The District will continue to implement the Enforcement Response Program (ERP),
which is part of Caltrans’ overall stormwater quality assurance effort to ensure
compliance with the Conformed NPDES Permit, the Statewide CGP, and the Statewide
Industrial General Permit. The ERP ensures that appropriate corrective actions are
taken in response to deficiencies found during inspections of construction activities,
maintenance activities, maintenance facilities and third-party activities in the Caltrans
ROW. Caltrans strives to identify and resolve compliance issues in a timely manner at
the lowest possible management level.

Statewide Trash Provisions

District 6 is aware of the statewide Trash Provisions and their applicability in the District.
Compliance activities will include implementing a combination of controls (i.e., full
capture systems, multi-benefit projects, other treatment controls, and/or institutional
controls) in areas identified as significant trash generating areas.

Section 3 of the DWP identifies maintenance stations (including crew functions and
street addresses), vista points, commercial vehicle enforcement areas, roadside rest
areas, park and ride facilities, toll road and bridge plazas, equipment shops, and other
Caltrans facilities. Facility Pollution Prevention Plans (FPPPs) are prepared and
implemented at Maintenance facilities within the District’s boundaries, such as
maintenance stations, material storage facilities, and equipment shops. To comply with
Department of Homeland Security policy, the table and map identifying these facilities is
not available to the public. For more information, contact Caltrans’ Office of Emergency
Management or Division of Environmental Analysis.

4      Drinking Water Reservoirs and Recharge Facilities
Section 4 of the DWP describes and identifies the high-risk areas, which are locations
where spills or other releases from District-owned ROW, roadways, or facilities may
discharge directly to municipal or domestic water supply reservoirs or ground water
percolation facilities. Projects that potentially drain to these high-risk areas consider
project features that enhance spill response.

Drinking water reservoirs and recharge facilities are areas such as locations where
spills from District-owned ROWs or facilities can discharge directly to municipal or
domestic water supply reservoirs or ground water percolation facilities. To generate the
list of municipal, domestic water supply reservoirs, and ground water percolation
facilities, the District first contacted known public and private water supply providers.
From the information received, the District determined which facilities were susceptible
to a direct spill from a District activity or facility. This determination was based on
proximity between the water body and the District’s facility, use characteristics of the
facility, and the probable spill response time.

When planning projects within these defined areas, District 6 considers project design
features for aiding in the prevention of accidental spills that could impact the area; these
features are typically commensurate with safety improvements for reducing vehicle
accidents. Examples of these features may include, but are not limited to, median
barrier, guardrail, signalization, and vehicle restrictions. Features considered for
improving spill response time typically include elongated drainage paths, call boxes,
signage, or video surveillance.

A list of drinking water reservoirs and recharge facilities within District 6 is presented in
Table 4-1.

Section 5 of the DWP identifies the road segments within District 6 that have slopes
which are prone to erosion and sediment discharge. The road segments that are

quality, will be prioritized for implementing appropriate controls to the maximum extent
practicable. In each Annual Report, the status of stabilization activities where applicable
will be reported. Table 5-1 is District 6’s inventory of vulnerable road segments where

5 Slopes Prone to Erosion                 24   Fiscal Year 2020-2021
6      Implementation
Section 6 of the DWP identifies the specific projects in which work is planned during the
fiscal year within the PA/ED, PS&E, and Construction development phases. The
anticipated schedule of construction and maintenance projects is subject to change.
These projects are limited to those meeting any of the following criteria:
1. All projects that require soil disturbing activities
2. Adjacent to a Drinking Water or Ground Water Recharge Facility, as described in
   Section 4 of the DWP
3. A supplemental environmental project (SEP)
4. Additional projects per agreement between the District and local Regional Board

Projects listed in Table 6-1 include (where applicable):
1.  Location (county, route and PM limits)
2.  Project number (expense authorization)
3.  Basic Project Description
4.  Disturbed soil area (DSA)
5.  Presence of receiving waters within or adjacent to project limits, with special
    designation for 303(d) listed water bodies (adopted)
6. Drinking Water Reservoir or Ground Water Recharge Facility within or adjacent to
    project (as identified in Section 4 of the DWP)
7. Projected milestone dates of PA/ED, PS&E, begin Construction, and end
    Construction
8. Description of Construction Controls
9. Post-Construction Treatment Controls (types and quantities)
10. Dredge and fill (CWA-401) activities within the project
11. Other Regional Board Permits Required
12. Potential and Actual Impacts of Project’s Discharge
13. Area of New Impervious Surface (NIS)
14. Percentage of NIS to Existing Impervious Surface

The updated lists of projects meeting these criteria will also be provided to the Regional
Board annually on October 1st. Furthermore, this section identifies planned
maintenance projects with soil disturbance. Information associated with the project
includes location, affected water body, and area of disturbance. In addition, this section
also describes the planned stormwater monitoring activities within the District; however,
these activities may be conducted jointly with other Districts and HQ. Consequently, the
information contained in a DWP may be repeated in another DWP.
