Cooperative Implementation Agreement (CIA) <br />CIAs provide capital and support funding <br />for planning, design, environmental studies, <br />right of way acquisition (easement only) and <br />construction of stormwater treatment facilities. <br />Treatment of runoff from Caltrans right of way <br />(ROW) is required. This program does not <br />have a dedicated funding source. The amount <br />of funds are limited and vary from year to <br />year. Regional Water Board approval of the <br />proposed project is required. Submit project <br />details* to the appropriate Watershed Manager. <br />Projects under consideration are prioritized <br />and funded accordingly. The encumbered <br />funds on the projects must be used by the <br />third fiscal year. <br />Financial Contribution Only (FCO) <br />FCOs provide funding for capital construction <br />costs (labor and materials) only of stormwater <br />treatment facilities. Treatment of runoff from <br />Caltrans ROW must be included. Basic project <br />details (brief project scope, location, tentative <br />schedule and estimate) must be submitted to <br />the District NPDES Coordinator by May 1 of <br />even years to reserve funds. Additional details <br />of the project* must be submitted by March 1 <br />or earlier of odd years for Caltrans to develop <br />a Project Initiation Report. Projects will be <br />prioritized and if approved, funds are typically <br />available within two years. Exceptions to the <br />dates noted may be granted for high priority <br />projects. Project plans and specifications, <br />environmental document and permits, ROW <br />acquisition, contract advertisement, award, and <br />administration is the responsibility of the local <br />municipality. Regional Water Board approval <br />is not required unless non-Caltrans approved <br />BMPs are proposed. <br />Projects not selected remain eligible for <br />funding in following years. <br />For projects with multiple components <br />(e.g., flood control, etc.), only components <br />directly related to construction of the BMPs or <br />restoaration of areas disturbed by construction <br />of the BMPs are eligible. <br />Maintenance and operation costs under each <br />program must be solely borne by the local MS4. <br />CALTRANS HAS TWO FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS * Information required to be submitted for <br />project consideration: <br />1. Waterbody reach the project is located <br />in and where on the Reach Prioritization <br />Inventory List it lands <br /> The list is available on the Caltrans <br />Stormwater Program website under “Tools”: <br />www.dot.ca.gov/env/stormwater <br />2. ASBS Pollutant categories treated <br />(for ASBS, TMDLs) or Trash (for Trash <br />Provisions) <br /> 1) Sediment/Nutrients/Mercury/Siltation/ <br />Turbidity; 2) Metals/Toxics/Pesticides; <br />3) Trash; 4) Bacteria; 5) Diazinon; <br />6) Selenium; 7) Temperature; 8) Chloride. <br />Priority is given to projects that address <br />significant trash generating areas. <br />3. Phase the project is in (i.e., conceptual, <br />environmental studies, design), tentative <br />schedule and funding requested <br /> Status of environmental documents, permits, <br />design. Provide project schedule and total <br />funding (show funds broken down by fiscal <br />year and phase). <br />4. Number of Stakeholders benefitting from <br />the project (list MS4s) <br />5. Type of BMP(s) to be built and number <br />of acres treated and demonstration of <br />hydraulic connectivity <br /> Provide sizing and tributary drainage area <br />calculations and mapping for dry and wet <br />weather flow acres being treated for Caltrans <br />and each MS4 and a map of tributary drainage <br />areas. Caltrans can assist with this. <br />6. Status of Regional Water Board approval <br />(e.g., WQIP, WMP, EWMP or RB Staff) <br />7. Lead agency. Will Caltrans be working with <br />an individual MS4?
