A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH IN SUPPORT OF DESIGNATING THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS
AS AN AREAWIDE PLANNING AGENCY FOR 208 WATER
QUALITY PLANNING
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Federal Water Pollution Con-
torl Act of 1972 Section 208 is to encourage areawide planning
and management of a comprehensive program for controlling such
water pollution contributors as industrial wastewater, storm
and sewer runoff, and nonpoint pollutants which occur in con-
centrated urban-industrial areas ; and
The State Water Resources Control Board' s action in not
designating most of the area resulted in a loss of a least $4 . 5
million to the local governments in the region and a loss of
local involvement in water quality planning and decision
making; and
Under the June 1975 ruling of the U. S . District Court
the State must do 208 planning in nondesignated areas and can
use financial resources that could be made available to local
governments to perform such planning; and
In anticipation of another hearing to consider 208 desig-
nation of the South Coast Basin, the Southern California Asso-
ciation of Governments in its General Assembly of delegates from
member cities and counties of the region in September 1975,
passed a resolution supporting designation of the South Coast
Basin as a 208 area and designation of the association as the
umbrella planning agency; and
It is the intention of the association to be guided in 208
planning by the following principels : to maximize involvement

and participation of member cities , counties and special dis-
tricts in the planning process; and to pass through 208 money
to participating local agencies ; and
The association will recognize and honor any existing
208 designation.,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach supports designation of the South Coast
Basin as a 208 area, and designation of the Southern California
Association of Governments as the areawide umbrella planning
agency in cooperation with the cities, counties and special dis-
tricts of the basin.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Council will work in
cooperation with other cities , counties , special districts and
the association to develop and implement an acceptable 208 plan
to the best of its ability for the South Coast Basin.
