DISCUSSION OF 2021/2022 TOWN OF ORO VALLEY MS4 COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE, THIRD QUARTER
REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is for informational purposes only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Town of Oro Valley's (Town) Stormwater Management Program and Annual Report to ADEQ identify Minimum
Control Measures (MCM’s) used to manage and control quality of stormwater runoff from the MS4. Each MCM has
been given specific implementation dates and frequencies, measurable goals, and responsible departments.
This memorandum is a report on the Town’s Stormwater Management Program for the third quarter of the Annual
Reporting Period for 2021-2022 (July 1st through June 30th). It has been prepared to keep stakeholders informed of
the status of project implementation in terms of completed tasks that are either (A) ongoing or continuous, or (B) to
be done a minimum of once each year.
Accompanying this Memorandum is a summary Table listing each of the six (6) required MCM’s along with their
specific subset of Best Management Practices (BMP’s).
This summary Table shows that the Stormwater Utility is up to date and has met this quarter’s goals for
implementing BMP’s that are ongoing and continuous.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town manages stormwater quality in accordance with the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(AZPDES) Permit AZG2021-002 that authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) to receiving waters, including Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The MS4 generally
consists of roads, storm drains, and infrastructure carrying runoff into drainage ways or ephemeral stream
channels. The Town has a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) that describes the control measures it uses
to manage the quality of discharges from the MS4. These Best Management Practices (BMPs) are:
MCM-1. Public Education and Outreach
MCM-2. Public Participation and Involvement
MCM-3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
MCM-4. Construction Site Runoff Control
MCM-5. Post-Construction Runoff Control
MCM-6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The Town’s Stormwater Management Program describes specific practices it uses to achieve compliance with Part
6.4 of the AZPDES Permit related to Minimum Control Measures, including specific implementation dates and
frequencies, measurable goals, and responsible departments. Our staff keeps track of these thirty-three (33)
targeted responsibilities and has prepared the attached summary table showing project implementation in terms of
completed tasks that are either (A) ongoing or continuous, or (B) to be done a minimum of once each year. This
attached summary Table shows that the Stormwater Utility is fully up to date, except for BMP 1.5, and has met this
quarter’s goals for implementing BMP’s that are ongoing and continuous.
The next scheduled update will be prepared and distributed sometime after the 4th quarter ends on June 30th,
2022.

PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE TRANQUILO AT RANCHO VISTOSO SUBDIVISION BANK
PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development of the 227 lot Tranquilo at Rancho Vistoso Subdivision broke ground in the fall of 2021. The
subdivision lies south of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard, just east of the Sun City neighborhood. The project area is
bounded by the Big, Batamonte, and Honey Bee washes. These floodplains carry some unique attributes within the
Town of Oro Valley to include being designated a FEMA Zone A, which are areas subject to inundation by the
1-percent-annual-chance flood event and carry mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements. In addition,
these areas are owned and managed by the Pima County Regional Flood Control District (PCRFCD) requiring
coordination and approval from our colleagues at Pima County. Studies, plans and documents have been submitted
and approved by both Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Pima County in addition to the permits
and reviews required by the Town.
The design of the Tranquilo Subdivision required the developer to elevate the development up out of the FEMA
floodplain to minimize impacts to the homes as well as limiting water surface elevation increase to upstream and
downstream properties. This was achieved through the use of soil cement bank protection along the perimeter of
the development bounded by the washes. Roughly 13-feet in total height with a toe down depth in the 8-foot range,
and rising up out of the wash nearly 5-feet, the soil cement bank protection is a construction technique utilized
regularly in the desert southwest for nearly 40 years. Classified as a low strength concrete, soil cement is utilized
when vast quantities of concrete would be needed requiring a lower structural strength than tradition concrete
mixes. On-site native dirt and aggregate can often be sourced and used as part of the soil cement process making
this approach more cost-effective than traditional concrete while still achieving structural and flood control needs.
Averaging 8-feet thick, these blocks of soil cement prevent seepage and erosion from impacting the banks and
allow for development behind them.
Soil cement production began in early 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2022. Continuous
inspection by both Pima County and Town forces are on-going to ensure construction methods and materials are
meeting specification.

PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE ORO VALLEY STORMWATER UTILITY FEE STRUCTURE AND
STATE OF ARIZONA STORMWATER UTILITY FEE PEER REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION:
For informational purposes only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of our ongoing Stormwater Utility responsibilities and activities discussion we are presenting the current
stormwater utility fee structure as well as a review of our other stormwater peers throughout the state.
In accordance with Town Code Chapter 15-24-13, management of the stormwater system to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare as well as meet the federal and state stormwater requirements requires adequate
revenues. It is in the interest of the public to finance stormwater management with a fee system that is reasonable
and equitable. Single-family residences will be charged a flat rate for one (1) Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU).
Commercial property owners will be charged a multiple rate equal to the amount of impervious area on their
property divided by the amount of one (1) ERU (four thousand (4,000) square feet). This formula will charge
property owners on the basis of their properties’ impact to the stormwater system.
The costs of improving, maintaining, repairing, operating, and monitoring the stormwater system shall be allocated,
to the extent practicable, to all property owners based on the impact of runoff from the impervious areas of their
property on the stormwater control and conveyance system.

Fee Structure and Peer Review
Town of Oro Valley
Stormwater Fee Structure
and Stormwater Utility Peer Review
April 21, 2022
Background
The Town initially became covered by the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System General Permit For Discharges
From Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4)
in 2003. In Arizona, this program is called Arizona Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES). An AZPDES permit is
required for any point source discharge of pollutants to a
water of the United States. This permit, often simply called a
“Stormwater Permit,” is overseen by the Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Neither the US EPA nor the
State of Arizona provides any funding to Oro Valley for
operating the Stormwater Program.
Background
Most cities, towns and counties with a population greater than 10,000 and a
population density greater than 1,000 people per square mile as defined by
the US Census must follow this permit, which regulates discharges of
stormwater runoff to waters of the state.
The permit provides requirements in each of the following six Minimum
Control Measures which are defined in the Stormwater Management Plan:
Public Education and Outreach
Public Involvement/Participation
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
Post-Construction Stormwater Management of Development
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Background
1.All costs of implementation and administration of the Stormwater
Management Plan, including the establishment of reasonable operating and
capital reserves to meet unanticipated or emergency stormwater
management requirements. There shall be a reserve fund of fifteen percent
(15%) of the collected annual stormwater fees as specified under Section
15-24-10 of this code.
2.Inspection and enforcement activities.
3.Billing and administrative costs.
4.Other activities that are reasonably required to accomplish the mission of
the Stormwater Management Plan.
15-24-13-E Purpose of the Fund
Background
15-24-13-F Stormwater Utility Fee
A monthly service charge is imposed upon all real property in the Town, as of the first day of each month, beginning January 1, 2008, to fund the Stormwater Management Plan and stormwater system with invoicing as defined in subsection J of this section. This service charge shall be known as the Stormwater Utility fee (“fee”). As any real property is developed or developed real property is annexed into the Town it will be subject to the fee. The fee is based on the cost of implementing a stormwater management program.
Fee History
A Stormwater Utility Fee of $2.90 per month for each
Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) per parcel was approved in
2007
The Stormwater Fee was increased in 2016 to $4.50 per month
for developed residential properties. Commercial properties are
billed $4.50 per month for each Equivalent Residential Unit
(ERU) of 4,000 sqft of impervious surface. This increase was
meant to address additional staff needs to meet inspection,
tracking, reporting, and maintenance requirements.
Fee Calculation Example
Vistoso Village SubdivisionCommunity Recreation Facility
GIS analysis calculates 25,979 square feet of impervious surface
25,979/4,000 = 6.49 (round down to 6 ERU)
6ERU * $4.50 = $27.00 per month billed to the HOA
Fee Calculation Example
The Overlook at Pusch View RidgeApartment Complex
GIS analysis calculates 482,421 square feet of impervious surface
482,421/4,000 = 120.61 (round up to 121 ERU)
121ERU * $4.50 = $544.50 per month billed to the apartment complex

* Estimated Total as Fiscal Year Ends June 30, 2022
Stormwater Fee Reduction
15-24-13-G-3&4
Non-Single Family Residential Properties that incorporate first flush capabilities or other approved stormwater pollution prevention devices are eligible for a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in the fee, providing they apply to and are approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission and meet the annual inspection and maintenance requirements.
Educational Facilities, Religious Institutions and Nonprofits Monthly Fee.A developed religious institution, school or other nonprofit property shall be eligible for a twenty-five percent (25%) fee reduction provided they apply to and are approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission. In order to qualify for the fee reduction, the educational facility, religious institution or nonprofit organization must conduct educational programs or other tasks on the topic of stormwater management as approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission. No developed educational facility, religious institution or nonprofit property shall pay less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the base rate.
