STAFF REPORTS
14. Los Penasquitos Lagoon Restoration Project
Senior Civil Engineer Tracy Beach presented the report along with a PowerPoint presentation
regarding stormwater regulations, the requirements of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon Sediment
Total Maximum Daily Load (Sediment TMDL), the Restoration Project and alternative options
to meet the requirements set forth in the Sediment TMDL. Ms. Beach explained that Poway
is located in the Los Penasquitos watershed and that the Los Penasquitos Lagoon Restoration
Project is a regional effort created to meet Sediment TMDL requirements by successfully
restoring 346 acres of lagoon salt marsh habitat. Ms. Beach explained that a formal MOU to
cost share the project with other Copermittees will be required to participate in the project.
She explained that staff has expressed concerns that Poway's contribution percentage does
not properly incorporate sediment reductions done through on-going channel maintenance in
the draft MOU. She further added that Poway is not required to participate in the restoration
project, however, Poway would need to demonstrate that sediment reductions are affecting
Poway's proportional share of the 346 acres and would still result in restoration of lagoon salt
marsh habitat, which may be difficult to prove with the other Copermittees proceeding with the
Lagoon Restoration. Ms. Beach concluded that staff is seeking Council direction on the
various options to comply with and reduce Poway's share of sediment loads to the water body.
Victor Avina, via teleconference, expressed support for Option 1 in the staff report.
Chris Olps, via teleconference, expressed support for participating in the Restoration project.

City of Poway — Minutes — January 19, 2021
Yuri Bohlen, via teleconference, inquired about changes to the sediment levels since
November 2019.
Council discussion ensued in support of participating in the Lagoon Restoration Project,
however, Council was not in favor of participating at the full level currently being proposed
with the cost share of approximately $6.7 million in the draft MOU.
In response to Council's inquiry, Ms. Beach explained that Poway's 19 percent cost -share
was based on the sediment load allocation assigned to each jurisdiction through the model
used in development of the WQIP. She added that updates to the sediment load methodology
must be updated in the WQIP and approved by the Regional Board.
In response to Council's inquiry, City Attorney Alan Fenstermacher clarified that the current
MS4 permit regulates the Sediment TMDL requirements that jurisdictions such as Poway
within the watershed are subject to.
Council provided direction to staff to proceed with MOU negotiations with
Copermittees, with consideration to participate in the Restoration Project, subject to
City Council approval of the final MOU at a future City Council meeting.
