FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: N/A    Stormwater Utility Commission 3. Meeting Date:01/15/2026   Submitted By:Dennis Roberts, Public Works SUBJECT: PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE STORMWATER UTILITY RECOMMENDATION: This item is for informational purposes only. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Town of Oro Valley Stormwater Utility provides the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of stormwater facilities that protect the community from flooding, erosion, and water quality degradation. The Utility operates as an enterprise fund with a dedicated revenue stream to ensure long-term regulatory compliance and responsible stewardship of the Town’s natural and built drainage systems. This presentation will introduce new commissioners to the Utility’s mission, regulatory framework, infrastructure assets, funding structure, and core responsibilities under the Town’s Stormwater Management Program. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: Regulatory Framework The Town of Oro Valley is regulated under the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) General Permit for small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s), administered by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This program implements federal Clean Water Act requirements for stormwater quality management. The Town’s Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) outlines policies and procedures to reduce pollutant discharges to the maximum extent practicable and ensure discharges do not cause or contribute to violations of surface water quality standards. The MS4 permit requires implementation of six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs): Public Education and Outreach Public Involvement and Participation Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Post-Construction Stormwater Management Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Stormwater Utility Purpose and Authority The Stormwater Utility was created to provide a dedicated, sustainable funding source for stormwater quality and quantity management. Neither EPA nor ADEQ provides funding for MS4 compliance; the responsibility lies with the community. Town Code §15-24-13 establishes the Stormwater Utility Fee System and identifies the Town’s responsibility to maintain stormwater infrastructure, address degraded water quality, and manage flood risks.   The Utility maintains a wide range of stormwater assets, including: 1. Natural Drainage Systems 16.93 miles of natural channels (washes shaped by natural flow) 2. Engineered/Improved Drainage Systems 18.05 miles of improved channel (engineered or constructed for drainage 141.93 acres of public drainage easements 3. Conveyance Infrastructure 18.24 miles of underground storm pipe 1,146 catch basins/inlets 400 culverts 5 outfalls 3 first-flush devices 4. Stormwater & Flow Control Facilities 17 detention devices 5. Floodplain Areas 7,520 acres of FEMA-mapped floodplains 11,552 acres of Town-regulated floodplains Funding Structure The Stormwater Utility operates as an enterprise fund, meaning all revenues are used solely for stormwater related activities. A monthly service charge (Stormwater Utility Fee) is assessed on all real property within the Town to support: MS4 permit compliance and SWMP implementation Inspection, enforcement, and field operations Drainage system maintenance and capital improvements Administrative and billing costs A required capital reserve (15% of annual fees) for emergency response and infrastructure failures The Utility also supports flood control, erosion mitigation, and drainage improvements to protect public safety and property. Community Importance Stormwater quality requirements are mandated by the Clean Water Act, and stormwater quantity requirements are mandated by FEMA. The Town issues ordinances and implements programs to meet these federal and state mandates. The Utility plays a critical role in: Reducing flood risk Protecting natural washes and riparian corridors Maintaining safe roadways and public infrastructure Preserving water quality in downstream waterways Supporting responsible development and long-term community resilience FISCAL IMPACT: None. This item is for discussion and orientation only.

Meeting Date:01/15/2026   Submitted By:Dennis Roberts, Public Works SUBJECT: PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE ORO VALLEY STORMWATER UTILITY FEE STRUCTURE RECOMMENDATION: For informational purposes only. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As part of the ongoing Stormwater Utility rate review, staff will present an overview of the current stormwater utility fee structure. In accordance with Town Code Chapter 15-24-13, the Town is required to manage its stormwater system to protect public health, safety, and welfare, and to comply with federal and state stormwater regulations. Adequate revenue is essential to meet these obligations. Currently, single-family residential properties are charged a flat fee of $4.50 per month. Commercial and non-residential properties are charged based on the impervious area of their property, divided by one Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU), which equals 4,000 square feet of impervious surface. This formula ensures that property owners contribute proportionally to the impact their property has on the stormwater system. Costs for improving, maintaining, repairing, operating, and monitoring the stormwater system are allocated, to the extent practicable, based on the runoff impact from impervious areas on each property. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: The Stormwater Utility fee structure is based on the ERU methodology, which is widely used by municipalities to ensure fairness and compliance with stormwater management requirements. This approach provides a stable funding source for operations, maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Current Status of Rate Review: On October 15, 2025, the Town Council approved a Notice of Intent (NOI) to begin the legally required public process for a potential stormwater utility rate increase under Arizona Revised Statutes §9-499.15. The proposed adjustment would raise the base fee from $4.50 to $6.50 per ERU, phased in over three fiscal years. The NOI does not enact the increase; it initiates a public notice and comment period. The final decision on the rate increase will be made by the Town Council on January 14, 2026 and discussed at this meeting. The Stormwater Utility Commission will continue discussions on the fee structure to ensure commissioners understand the current model and the rationale for the proposed changes. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. This item is for discussion only. SUGGESTED MOTION: None. Informational item 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 second quarter of the Annual Reporting Period for 2025-2026 (October 1st through December 31st). 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 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 3rd quarter ends on March 31st, 2026.   FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: N/A Attachments MS4-Quarter-2-Compliance-Schedule  2025/2026 Town of Oro Valley MS4 Compliance Schedule July - Sept Oct - Dec Jan - Mar Apr - June MCM-1 Public Education and Outreach x x x x x x x x x BMP 1.1 Create and update informational brochures (A) BMP 1.2 Distribution of informational brochures to the general public (A) BMP 1.3 Distribution of brochures to businesses that potentially affect stormwater quality (B) BMP 1.4 Stormwater content in the Oro Valley Vista Newsletter (B) BMP 1.5 Outreach events at Town of Oro Valley schools (B) (Planned for Qtr. 3 or 4) BMP 1.6 Display of outreach materials on Town owned Sun Shuttle buses.
