A1 PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2019.010: Relating to Development; approving
a rezoning of approximately 52 acres of land located east of Interstate 10, approximately
a half-mile south of Linda Vista Boulevard, from Zone E (Transportation Corridor Zone)
and Zone C (Large Lot Zone) to R-3.5 (single-family residential) and R-6 (single-family
residential), and approximately 17.4 acres of land from Zone E (Transportation Corridor
Zone) to Village Commercial (VC); and approving a minor amendment to the Marana
General Plan land use designation from Low-Density Residential (LDR) to Medium-
Density Residential (MDR) (Brian D. Varney)
\[7:23 PM Minutes:\] Mayor Honea opens the Public hearing on Joplin Estates rezoning.
Senior Planner Brian Varney provided a PowerPoint Presentation (PowerPoint
Lexy Wellot, The Planning Center representative presentedfor the applicant. She
introduced Linda Morales and Doron Sears, of Sears Financial also present. She spoke
of the unregulated development; horse facility; etc., in the area. Vacant land, but
previously disturbed by ATV activity. Neighborhood outreach description. Most of the
discussion revolved around drainage and flooding in the area. 17.4 acres of village
commercial along the west (along the railroad). Now proposing 187 lots, 50@ 50'x120';
137 @ 40'x120'. Amenable to including a dog park. Open space is about 30% of the
residential area. Wash will be channelized. They are comfortable with the staff-
recommended conditions.
Council Member Bowen stated a large part of the open space is drainage; much like in
Gladden. He commented about the density of the area to be developed stating with the
number of lots to be developed into homes, there needs to be more park space; 36,000 sf
neighborhood park is not enough. He is okay with the zoning, with the caveat that the
lots be not smaller than 3,500 sf and that there be more parks.
Mayor Honea stated he agrees with Council Member Bowen; there are ZERO amenities
with this project. No regional parks around this property. There is nowhere for kids to
play. He referenced Ms. Wellot comments that it "MAY" include; he is interested in what
it will include. Dog Park is an amenity love. No lots will be less than 4,800 on the
R-3.5 piece. He asked whether the trails along the drainageway will be improved. Mayor
Honea requested more specificity of what the park improvements will include. He is
willing to go along with the density if there are the right amenities. However, this is low
density in the General Plan. The applicant is basically asking for double the lots that
would have been allowed. He would vote for this lot layout if there is more park space
and more certainty.
Council Member Kai stated he is mainly concerned with the ability to get into the
property. Camino Benicardo from the north. He asked whether there had been an
agreement with the neighbor to the north. Things need to be completed before you get

the rezoning. Ms. Morales replied stating they havebeen in communication with Linda
Vista Village to the north, which has submitted their plat. They cannot move forward
without Camino Benicardo. If Red Point does not build it, my client would be required
to build it. Council Member Kai suggested that Ms. Morales ensure that some order is
exercised before moving forward. Ms. Morales stated it will be done in sequence. This
also completes the right-of-way eventually connecting to Joplin Lane in the south.
Property to the south would need to provide right-of-way. Council Member Kai asked
whether there is public right-of-way for Joplin Road. Ms. Morales commented on the
gaps.
Mr. Varney reported that they are close to the time when the final plat for Linda Vista
Village will be submitted; will be a few months before there's a final plat. Ms. Morales
explained the park situation stating they were asked to come back with more park area.
In the wash, there is water a couple days a year. Otherwise it can be used for dog park
and play areas. Further explaining that it is cost-prohibitive for a development of 187 lots
to provide a large amount of park area; we need for this to be affordable. They need
amenities, but those amenities need to be affordable. More modest; less water and
maintenance.
Council Member Bowen replied stating he does not have an issue with the lot size nor
parts of the area being a drainage basin. However, the formula for lots gets skewed when
the lot sizes are so small; we need more than 185 sf per lot for a small lot subdivision. I
cannot sign off on what we've got here. We cannot have ball fields on this size of
development, but we need more space. Timing of Camino Benicardo construction.
Council Member Ziegler stated she does not have a problem with the density at this
point. She fought for three years on the Oasis development; it is now going through.
Council need to be flexible in the Town of Marana. Oasis would have sold at one acre
lots. Son and daughter-in-law lives in the Pines community -- too small of lots to throw a
Frisbee, but there are some pools. She questioned affordability, stating she does not
understand what that means anymore. Council cannot push others away. People to be
able to have the American dream of homeownership. She thanked Ms. Morales for
adding parks and dog parks. Marana has other regional parks people can use. This
would allow people to have an affordable house in Marana.
Council Member Officer agreed with almost everything thathas been said by other
Council Members. He expressed concerned with the density of homes on a dead end
road. There is space for The Planning Center to add in amenities. Council Member
Ziegler stated where there is the dead end road, will future conditions allow through
access. Ms. Morales stated it is a developing area. Benicardo is a developer-built road. If
a developer does not build it, the Town plans to connect to Joplin Road. San Lucas
connection to Tangerine Road is a similar situation. The Town is able to get the right-of
way at no cost. Right now it is not completed, but this gets you that much closer to its
being completed. Council Member Ziegler commented stating the Planning Department

Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 30 of 107
and Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval. She does not have a
concern about the dead end road; it is taken care of with the conditions. Ms. Morales
stated they have worked with staff on the internal roads, to ensure that there are two
crossings of the wash. Council Member Ziegler stated this development is a while away.
The parks area is higher than 185 sf per lot. Ms. Morales asked for direction from Council
in terms of its vision for the area related to park development and size of the homes.
Mayor Honea stated 185 Ms.
Morales
park they will go back and look at it with their client to look at increasing the park size.
Council Member Bowen stated he would increase the park size to 60,000 sf. He has seen
community developments with small lot sizes and they did very well. For those
individuals looking to purchase a smaller home, first time buyers, or low income families
looking to purchase their first home is great. He would not live in this area. For those
families that wish to live in this area, it would be nice to have a home and community
that they still wish to live in without it becoming an anchor for them to remain years later.
Increased recreational areas would make it a more attractive and livable community,
along with specificity of the amenities and the shared-use path. Ms. Morales stated they
are at 56,500 SF, and are not too far off from the 60,000 SF that Council would like to see.
Council Member Bowen stated he would rather have a larger single park; I'd like to have
them both, but a larger single park will do. Council Member Ziegler expressed concern
over the reference to "crud" place; it is common to start at a beginner home; it is not a
"crud" place. Many people have to get into their cars and go other places. Marana have
guidelines; we are not going to build anything that is bad. Families can drive within three
to four miles to go to parks in their cars. She asked for flexibility from Council to allow
people to buy a starter home.
Council Member Kai question leads to clarification that there is a gap in public right of
way for Joplin Road. Mayor Honea points out that Joplin Lane will need to be built by
the taxpayers. We can have a vote now or give you time to work on it. Ms. Morales stated
wewould like to have Council support, but we'll also be happy to take a continuance.
Mayor Honea stated this community will not be built soon, asking whether the applicant
wish to withdraw its request. Ms. Morales stated they would like to request a
continuance to work out these issues. Her client has a long-term interest in this property
and in working with the town. They put their best efforts forward to work through the
transportation issues with staff.
Mayor Honea commented on eminent domain and whether staff has had conversation
about the manner in which Joplin will be built and the access to the roadway. Council
Member Ziegler commented on the process of Eminent Domain San Lucas access; we
had to use eminent domain to get access. She asked whether the Planning and Zoning
Commission spoke about using eminent domain for Joplin Lane. This concerns her after
hearing comments related to eminent domain. If the Town has to

do something in order to facilitate this development, that is concerning to her. Ms.
Morales stated those efforts would be to accomplish the ultimate connectionaccess for
Joplin and Cortaro Farms from a subdivision and design standpoint, along with safety.

Fiscal Year 2020Salary Schedule Adjustment & Team
Performance Pay
The Town is committed to providing fairand competitive compensation to its employees through
performanceand behavior based pay. Our compensation philosophy is to have a strategy that attracts,
retains and motivates employees to accomplish the organization’s goals and objectives.
The Town’s compensation strategy focuses on annual team performance and behavior in lieu of market-
basedadjustments. Whenadjustments to the paygrades within the Salary Schedule are made, increases
will be based on the Team Performance Pay criteria(with the exception being for an employee who falls
below the new minimum of their paygrade on the Salary Schedule).
The Fiscal Year 2020 budget contains funding to grant eligible employees the Team Performance Pay
adjustment of up to 3.5%.The Town will also be increasing the minimum and maximum salary ranges
within each paygrade by 3% in fiscal year 2020.Employees eligible for the Team Performance Pay
adjustment will receive no more than 3.5% within their newly adjusted paygrade, not to exceed the new
maximum of their paygrade.If the Team Performance Pay adjustment for an eligible employeeexceeds
the new maximum of their paygrade, they will receive a lump sum payment for the portion of their increase
that exceeds the maximum of their new paygrade. An employee who falls below the new minimum of
their paygrade,after any eligible Team Performance Pay adjustments have been made, will receive an
increase up to the new minimum of the paygrade.
Team Performance Pay Eligibility
1.Regular full- and part-time classified, sworn, and unclassified employees,hired on or before July 1,
2018and not at the top of their pay range,are eligible to receive the Team Performance Pay if not

Executive Summary
This Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared by the Town of Marana as a
requirement of Section 5.1 of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Arizona
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) General Permit for stormwater discharges from Small
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) to Waters of the United States (AZG2016-002) which
was adopted on September 30, 2016. This SWMP describes the policies and procedures that the Town
implements to reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, pollutant discharges to and from it MS4. The
overall goal of the program is to ensure that discharges from the MS4 do not cause or contribute to
exceedances of surface water quality standards.
As required by the Permit, this SWMP addresses the six minimum control measure (MCMs): (1) Pubic
Education and Outreach, (2) Public Involvement and Participation, (3) Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination, (4) Construction Site Stormwater Runoff control, (5) Post-Construction Stormwater
Management, and (6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations.
This SWMP is a comprehensive program document outlining how the stormwater program is
implemented and maintained, therefore, sections have been included to describe other permit required
support activities, including training, SWMP evaluation and revision, reporting, and signatory
requirements. The SWMP complies with the requirements specified in Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Chapter 40 Part 122.32, incorporated by reference in Arizona Administrative Code (AAC) R18-9-
A902 and A905.

1. STORMWATER PROGRAM BACKGROUND
Introduction:
The Town of Marana developed this Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) in accordance with the
Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) Permit for small Municipal Separate Sewer
Systems (MS4) AZG2016-002 that authorizes stormwater discharge. Surface waters of the United States
are susceptible to pollutants carried in stormwater and urban runoff. Poorly managed stormwater
systems can lead to high levels of nutrients, bacteria, heavy metals, oils, and excess sediment being
discharged into rivers and washes. The potential consequences of uncontrolled stormwater runoff
include erosion of topsoil, the degradation of riparian habitat, and modified hydrologic patterns,
resulting in flooding problems and contamination of drinking water sources. Municipalities can prevent
many of these impacts by encouraging or requiring responsible land use practices within their
jurisdictions. This SWMP describes the control measures, or Best Management Practices (BMP) that the
Town of Marana uses to manage the quality of discharges from the MS4.
Regulatory Background:
The 1972 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (known as the Clean Water Act
\[CWA\]) provide the statutory basis for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit program. Section 402 of the CWA specifically required the EPA to develop and implement the
NPDES program. The EPA implemented the NPDES stormwater program in two phases. Phase I covered
large and medium-sized municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), certain industrial facilities, and
construction activities that disturbed more than five acres. Phase II expanded the NPDES regulatory
sphere to include construction project disturbing one or more acres and small MS4s that fall within and
U.S. Census.
The Town of Marana was designated as a small regulated MS4 because a small portion of the Town falls
within the Tucson urbanized Area. The Stormwater Phase II regulations in Arizona are administered by
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). The current Arizona State General Permit for
Phase II MS4s was adopted September 30, 2016 (AZG2016-002).
The Town of Marana last updated its Stormwater Management Ordinance in 2008. The primary
prevent, control, and reduce stormwater pollution from
construction sites, as well as to detect and eliminate illicit discharges. This document updates the
SWMP for the current AZPDES permit.
Geographic Setting:
The Town of Marana is a fast growing community along Interstate 10 northwest of the City of Tucson
with land in both Pima and Pinal counties. The Town is approximately 121 square miles and has a
population of about 43,000 people. The Town was incorporated in 1977 and employs a council-manager
form of municipal government with a mayor and six member Town Council.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 86 of 107
Receiving Waters and Outfalls:
The major watercourses in the Marana area are the Santa Cruz River, the Rillito Creek, and the Canada
del Oro Wash. There are numerous ephemeral washes that drain into these larger waterways, but no
known natural perennial waterways exist within the Town of Marana boundaries. Runoff from both the
Tortolita Mountains (to the east) and the Tucson Mountains (to the west) also represents a major
component of the stormwater drainage pattern in the Marana area.
The two watercourses that the Town of Marana discharges to are the Santa Cruz River and the Canada
del Oro Wash. The part of the Santa Cruz River that runs from Orange Grove to just north of Avra Valley
Road is a category 4B/5 Not Attaining/Impaired watercourse. In that area, the river is impaired for
Ammonia and E.coli. The Town of Marana has 43 outfalls to the Santa Cruz River, and 1 outfall to the
Canada del Oro Wash, which are inspected every year for illicit discharges.
Stormwater Infrastructure Mapping:
The Town of Marana maintains maps of the storm sewer system, outfalls and receiving waters within
the urbanized areas of the Town. The current compliance area was determined by the assignment of
Urbanized Areas in the 2010 Census. As development happens within the urbanized areas, it will be
included on the storm sewer system maps and any new outfalls marked and added to the outfall
inspection list. Each time that the Census is completed, it will be reviewed to determine if the
compliance area within the Town needs to be updated.
2. STORMWATER CONTROL MEASURES
There are six minimum control measures (MCMs) specified in section 6.4 of the Small MS4 General
Permit (General Permit). The Town of Marana, through its Stormwater Program staff, has created its
own set of best management practices (BMPs) to address the required MCMs to the maximum extent
practicable. The progress and effectiveness of these BMPs is addressed in the Annual Report that must
be turned in to ADEQ. BMPs may be added or modified by the Town depending on their effectiveness.
MCM-1 Public Education and Outreach
The key to effective implementation of a stormwater management program is to foster community
awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding stormwater pollution. Most people are
unaware that stormwater flows are one of the most significant sources of water pollutants. Support for
stormwater management increases when the public understands the importance of stormwater
pollution prevention and recognizes their role in protecting local waterways. As a result, public support
for the SWMP increases the degree of local compliance with program requirements.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 87 of 107
The program focuses on pollutants of concern for impaired waters, but also targets pollutants and
pollutant sources that are familiar to the target audiences such as:
Animal/Pet Waste
Automotive chemical leaks and disposal
Herbicides, pesticides, and yard waste
Sediment from construction sites
Illegal dumping
Target audiences for educational discussions and outreach include:
Homeowners Associations
Students
Business Owners that may contribute pollutants to stormwater
Construction Sites
Municipal Employees
minimum control measures.
BMP 1.1: Develop and distribute brochures for target audiences that have the greatest potential
to impact the storm drainage system. All brochures will be available at the main offices of the
Town of Marana for the general public. The Town will also mail subject specific brochures and
newsletters to current businesses.
BMP 1.2: Have a portion of the Town of Marana website dedicated to the Stormwater Program.
The website will be added to as needed with an annual review of content for corrections and/or
amendments. The Town website address will be printed on all stormwater promotional items.
BMP 1.3: Develop a stormwater pollution prevention presentation for school age children. The
number of student presented each year will be documented, and the presentation reviewed
annually for content relevance.
MCM-2 Public Involvement and Participation
Efforts by the Town of Marana to involve the public in the development and implementation of the
stormwater management program creates the opportunity to bring together much needed community
support and increase the level of compliance with program requirements. The success of a public
involvement/participation effort relies on early and frequent involvement opportunities that build the
The Town of Marana currently
supports the following pollution prevention public involvement and participation efforts.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 88 of 107
BMP 2.1: Provide access to the SWMP on the town of Marana website. The website will be
reviewed annually to make sure that the most current version of the SWMP is posted for public
access. The website address will be printed on all stormwater promotional items.
BMP 2.2: Annually provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the SWMP.
The Town will use social media to solicit comments from the community on any changes made
to the SWMP and Citizen Tracker to respond to those comments.
BMP 2.3: Town staff will participate in local and regional stormwater programs, workshops, and
advisory committees. The events will be logged in a spreadsheet and will include the topics,
date of the event, and other participants at the events.
MCM-3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program
Illicit discharges are any wastes or wastewater that enter a storm drain or storm sewer system and are
not composed entirely of stormwater. Such discharges are illicit because municipal storm sewer
systems are not designed to accept, process, or discharge such wastes. Sources of illicit discharges can
include: effluent from septic tanks; car washing; pool draining or back flushing; improper disposal of
auto and household toxics; and oil or chemical spills on roadways. Illicit discharges are more easily
detected when there is little or no stormwater runoff.
BMP 3.1: Prepare and maintain stormwater sewer map. The Town will identify and map all
outfall locations within the compliance area. This map will be updated annually.
BMP 3.2: Have an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to prohibit non-stormwater
discharges into the storm sewer system. The Town will implement a council approved
ordinance that will be reviewed annually and updated if needed.
BMP 3.3: Have a procedure for inspecting mapped outfall points for illicit discharges. Conduct
dry weather inspections of all outfall point at least once per year.
BMP 3.4: Have a procedure for inspecting a minimum of 5 outfalls that are representative of
stormwater discharges. The outfalls will be inspected twice per wet season as defined in section
6.4.3.8(b) of the CGP.
BMP 3.5: Have a procedure for receiving, addressing, and recording illicit discharge reports
from the public. Illicit discharge reports will be recorded and investigated by Town staff. The
number of investigation outcome reports will be included in the annual report to ADEQ.
BMP 3.6: Have information available to the public regarding hazardous illicit discharges.
Include information regarding hazardous illicit discharges on the Town web page.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 89 of 107
MCM-4 Construction Activity Stormwater Runoff Control
Construction sites are likely to cause significant surface water quality impacts when sediment and
erosion controls are lacking or inadequate. These negative effects are associated with both the
sediment washed into watercourses and the pollutants bound to those soil particles. These pollutants,
which are often the primary concern for the impairment of surface water, can include nutrients,
pesticides, oils and grease, concrete truck washout, and construction chemicals and debris.
BMP 4.1: Require all projects greater than 1 acre or part of a larger common plan of
development to submit a SWPPP for review and acceptance by the Town prior to the issuance of
a grading permit. The Town will review all SWPPPs submitted for private and public projects
and report the number reviewed in the annual report to ADEQ.
BMP 4.2: Require that all grading plans for projects greater than 1 acre, or part of a larger
common plan of development be reviewed and accepted for coordination with the project
SWPPP. The town will review all grading plans submitted for private and public projects and
report the number reviewed in the annual report.
BMP 4.3: Inspect construction project greater than 1 acre or part of a common plan of
development to ensure compliance with the Town Ordinance. Town staff will conduct
inspections of active construction sites and record the results of the inspections. The number of
inspections completed will be included in the annual report.
MCM-5: Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
Land development significantly impacts the quality of surface waters through the alterations of the
natural landscape, especially through the increase in impervious surface. This land use change increases
not only the quantity of stormwater runoff but also the quality of the stormwater. Increased runoff
volumes can cause downstream flooding, channel and bank erosion, sedimentation, and reduced
groundwater recharge. The pollutants carried by these larger stormwater flows can include soil
sediments, oils, grease, litter, and other toxic substances that collect on paved or otherwise impervious
surfaces.
BMP 5.1: Require grading plans to prevent or minimize impacts to water quality from
stormwater runoff. Town staff will review grading plans for all construction projects greater
than 1 acre or part of a common plan of development to ensure all requirements for controls
that reduce or eliminate the discharge of pollutants from the site after construction activities
are completed will be installed.
BMP 5.2: Implement an inventory system of all post construction structural stormwater control
measures that discharge into the MS4 that are located on Town property. The inventory will be
updated at annually and will be searchable by control measure type. The inventory will also log
maintenance activities.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 90 of 107
BMP 5.3: The Town of Marana follows the guidelines set forth in the 2014 Pima County
Regional Flood Control District Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention to
require a 15 percent reduction in stormwater runoff when comparing pre and post construction
Subdivision Engineering Division.
MCM-6: Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Municipalities can contribute a significant amount of pollutants to stormwater through the maintenance
and operation of parks, open space, landscaping, municipally-owned vehicles, public streets and
roadways. Beyond the importance of setting a good example within the community, pollution
prevention and good housekeeping efforts can save the municipality money over time. Preventing trash
and other debris from entering the storm sewer system can reduce damage to system components and
lower repair and maintenance costs.
BMP 6.1: Training staff on general stormwater pollution prevention procedures. The Town will
utilize video training on even number years to have all Town employees learn about basic
stormwater pollution prevention procedures.
BMP 6.2: Provide specialized training to staff more likely to affect stormwater quality. The Town
will provide annual training for Parks and Recreations staff as well as the Water Department
staff.
BMP 6.3: Perform regular inspections at Town of Marana facilities that have high potential for
pollutant discharge. Inspections will be performed and recorded for the Fleet Maintenance
facility and the Regional Airport.
3. MONITORING:
The two watercourses that the Town of Marana discharges to are the Santa Cruz River and the Canada
del Oro Wash. The part of the Santa Cruz River that runs from Orange Grove to just north of Avra Valley
Road is a category 4B/5 Not Attaining/Impaired watercourse. In that area, the river is impaired for
Ammonia and E.coli. Since lls occur within this stretch of the Santa Cruz River,
analytical monitoring will be required for 5 of the outfalls selected for stormwater discharge monitoring.
Rainfall measurements will be logged using the automated Local Evaluation in Real Time (ALERT) system.
The ALERT system is composed of weather stations equipped with real-time sensors and a radio
telemetry system transmitting the data to base station computers. The weather station is equipped
with a tipping bucket rain gauge. Each time a tipping bucket registers 0.5 inches of rainfall, a notice is
sent to the stormwater monitoring team who mobilize to the monitor sites and collect first-flush
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 91 of 107
samples as soon as practicable. Sampling is required twice in the summer wet season (June 1 October
31) and twice in the winter wet season (November 1 May 31).
The water quality data will be compared to surface water quality standards (SWQS). If a sample
indicates concentrations are higher than the SWQS, the watershed draining to the monitor point is
evaluated to determine the source of the pollutants. The pollutant load is based on the area of the
watershed, the rate of flow and the concentration of the parameter.
The Town of Marana has developed a Sampling and Analysis Plan that will be followed and updated as
necessary.
4. ANNUAL PROGRAM EVALUATION
Town of Marana staff will review the SWMP each year to evaluate compliance with the terms and
conditions of the permit. The Town will evaluate the appropriateness of the selected BMPs in achieving
the objectives of each control measure and the defined measurable goals. During the annual review,
the town determines if revisions to the SWMP are required and appropriate. If SWMP revisions or
additions are needed, the town will notify ADEQ of any changes to the SWMP. If components of the
SWMP need to be altered, the Town submits the proposed revisions to ADEQ with an explanation of
why the original practice was ineffective and how the alterations will better address the goals of the
management practice.
A description of the evaluation process and all outcomes will be reported to ADEQ as part of the Annual
Report.
5. SWMP REPORTING AND PROGRAM STAFFING
The Town will submit an annual report each year of the permit term to ADEQ. The reporting period is
from July 1 through June 30 each year. The annual report is due to ADEQ on or before September 30
each year for the reporting period. The annual reports shall contain the following information:

Town of Marana Stormwater Sampling and Analysis Plan
Sampling Areas
The five outfall sampling areas will be established by the Town of Marana. The areas will have easy
access in times of wet weather and will be equipped with their own rain gauges. If maintenance is
needed at the sampling area to keep it accessible, it will be noted in the sampling report and addressed
as soon as practicable and/or before the next anticipated rain event.
Rain Gauges
The Pima County Regional Flood Control District (RFCD) operates the Automated Local Evaluation in Real
Time (ALERT), a network of real-time rainfall and runoff sensors in Pima County watersheds.
Transmitters send rainfall data from the sensors to a base station computer.
Sample Site Rain Gauge Number Rain Gauge Address
256,313 6020 Ina and Santa Cruz River
32, 89 6110 Avra Valley Airpark
314 1200 Canada del Oro
The base station transmits a text alert to the listed phone number for the Town of Marana from three
the event, the ALERT system texts the listed phone number with information as to the level of the rain
event and which rain gauge registered the event.
Team Mobilization
Currently the sampling team consists of Paula Bluemer. When alerted by text that rainfall of
has been recorded during regular office hours of 8-5, the sampling team will check the weather forecast
to make sure that conditions are safe for sampling. The team will then take all necessary sample
gathering equipment and analysis equipment to the sampling sites. Team members should wear
appropriate protective equipment.
When at the sampling sites, accessibility of the site will be checked. Any vegetation or debris that may
interfere with access of the site will be removed at the time or noted on the sampling form and removed
at a later date. On-site rain gauges will have their contents noted on the sampling form and then
cleaned out.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/21/2019Page 95 of 107
Sample Collection
tles will be provided
by the laboratory and kept sealed until ready for collection. Collections will be made directly from
stormwater flow, and the samples will be placed in a cooler filled with ice for transport to the
laboratory. A separate plastic bottle will be used to collect extra stormwater to record turbidity, sheen,
odor, and pH. This will be done by Town of Marana staff.
The samples for E.coli and ammonia will be taken directly to the laboratory for testing. The E.coli must
be taken to the lab within 2 hours of collecting the sample for accurate analysis.
Sample Documentation
A sample form will be used to collect information such as time and date of collection, condition of the
collection site, any reason for deviations from typical protocol, and name of the team member that
collected the sample. The form will also record the time that the sample was delivered to the
laboratory.
The laboratory processing the samples will provide their own bottles and labels for collection as well as
a chain of custody form to be filled out when the sample is delivered to the laboratory.
Sample Delivery
Once all samples have been collected, they will be delivered to the laboratory in a cooler with ice. The
samples will be turned over for analysis and the laboratory will provide the Town a report outlining their
findings.
