Integrated Planning and Financial Capability 1 David W. Smith, Manager NPDES Permits Section EPA/Region 9

What is Integrated Planning?  A voluntary opportunity for municipalities to meet CWA requirements by: 2 Identifying efficiencies in stormwater and wastewater programs Sequencing wastewater and stormwater projects to focus on highest priorities first

What Integrated Planning is NOT It is not a means to change or lower existing regulatory or permitting standards or requirements, or delay necessary improvements 3

2014 Technical Assistance  In October 2014, EPA awarded $335,000 to 5 communities  Durham, NH; Burlington, VT; Onondaga County, NY; Santa Maria, CA; Springfield, MO  Projects are underway and are nearly complete  Short-term goal: Develop integrated plans and make final products useful to other communities  Long-term goal : Use plans and analyses to inform NPDES permit requirements 4

Santa Maria, CA Technical Assistance project Decision-support tool for integrated water resource management Addresses multiple and interrelated wastewater, stormwater, and other WQ issues Evaluates multi-benefit projects for consideration Tool produces composite project scores to guide investment priority setting 5 EPA Technical Assistance recipient

Coming soon! Technical Assistance Tools Final products from all projects will be posted on EPA’s integrated planning webpage in early Stakeholder engagement strategy guide Project ranking and prioritization tool Tool to help better integrate stormwater resources between co-permittees Guide on characterizing the value of water resources

2014 Financial Capability Assessment (FCA) Framework Discusses different methods for evaluating community financial capability to fund water infrastructure Clarifes flexibility under existing FCA Guidance 7

FCA Framework: Elements 1997 Guidance provides a common basis. 2% Median Household Income not a rigid threshold. EPA will consider all CWA costs, including stormwater costs, in the residential indicator. EPA will consider SDWA obligations as part of financial capability indicators. 8

How can affordability be considered?  Length of compliance schedules to implement new permit requirements  Evaluation of attainability of water quality beneficial uses  Enforcement actions and remedies  Not a basis to eliminate most WQ requirements 9

Trends in Municipal Permits  MS4 permits – focus on TMDLs  Green Infrastructure  Multi-purpose projects (stormwater capture, GreenStreets)  Trading/Crediting 10

Financial Planning Assistance For Communities  Workshops for Permittees and Funders  Innovative Funding Guidance (e.g. Public-Private Partnerships)  One-On-One Planning Support  Support for Stormwater Trading  What would help your community? 11
