are planning to have aerial photography and topographical maps prepared for this area
to help us and the County finish up the study.
b. Notice-to-Proceed given to Kimley-Horn for preparation of Operation and
Maintenance Plans for Street Maintenance and Golf Maintenance Yards
Mr.Turner stated that we have hired consultant Kimley-Horn to put together an
operations and maintenance plan and a spill prevention containment and
countermeasure plan for the gas fueling stations.
c. Inspected and scheduled sediment removal from Mutterer's Wash at
Greenock Drive
Mr.Turner stated that because of the flooding in 2014 the town has taken an aggressive
stance to actively monitor and implement maintenance activities.It has been
determined there is roughly a foot of sediment in the bottom of the box culvert.The
Pima County Flood Control District has been asked to remove sand from the culvert
itself at our cost and clean the channel an additional 800'upstream at their cost.
d. Received and reviewed Development Pre-Application for Villa
Milagro. Recommended controlling sediment going into lower Mutterer's
Wash
Mr.Turner said this property is immediately upstream of the trouble section of Mutterer's
Wash and has been vacant.Owners have asked for rezoning consideration.We will
request that they do something about controlling the sediment.
e. Final-soil-stabilization planning for Nakoma Sky per 2013 CGP requirements
One of the key responsibilities of the Stormwater Utility is to make sure the Nakoma
Sky stormwater pollution is under control.Their commitment is to stabilize things to
where they can leave it in a semi dormant condition.We have no immediate concerns.
Commissioner Parker asked whether the Letter Of Map Revision(LOMR)for the CDO
Wash will still be requested by the applicant.Mr.Turner said yes,and that we are still
waiting for the FEMA submittal from the engineer.
f. ADEQ is beginning a process to consider assuming the Clean Water Act
Section 404 permit program(CWA 404),including Jurisdictional
determinations and project impact review(e.g.,dredging and filling of
wetlands)
Mr.Turner stated that the Federal Government has made an announcement that it is
considering giving the administrative responsibility to the States to regulate Section 404
washes,those are the navigable waterways.The discussion is in early stages and he
doesn't know when it will happen,if it will happen,but there are ongoing discussions.
g. Miscellaneous Survey Services are on-going for Logan's Crossing,Calle
Buena Vista at Carmack Wash,El Conquistador Drainageway Reconstruction
and Calle Loma Linda Drainage Improvements
Surveying projects:
-Logan's Crossing-gabions were put in to protect the equestrian trail and the
easement survey work is going smoothly
-Calle Buena Vista at Carmack Wash-a new box culvert is being designed and we are
trying to have it completed and built before the end of next fiscal year
-El Conquistador drainage way reconstruction-the area is badly eroded and the
surveyors are going to put together a proper plan
-Calle Loma Linda Drainage Improvements on the easement erosion issues that need
to be addressed-we are surveying that area
h. Rain storm events

the West that will result in an early onset of monsoon.It seems to indicate that we will
have a wetter than normal monsoon.
