BACKGROUND Pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act, as a discharger of municipal storm water into the Santa Clara River, a state surface water, the City of Santa Clarita (City) was first issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) order in 1991. In California, this NPDES order (Permit) is administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). California Water Code Sections 13260 and 13269 allow the SWRCB to collect a fee to recover costs associated with the issuance, administration, reviewing, monitoring and enforcement of the Permit. This order is issued pursuant to Section 402 of the federal Clean Water Act, implementing regulations adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and Chapter 5.5, Division 7 of the Water Code. Annual fees are charged to any entity who is permitted by a NPDES order, and invoiced based on the population of the municipality. The fee amount changes every year based on the state's administrative costs and is determined by emergency regulation. For the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, the fee charged to the City is $53,352, which is the first time the invoice has been over $50,000.
