Foreword
The King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual was developed to
comply with requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act - National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program and the State Puget Sound
Water Quality Management Plan - Stormwater Program. The intent of these
programs is to maintain and improve the quality and beneficial uses of our water
resources. The widespread implementation of best management practices (BMPs)
is regarded as one of the best solutions to achieving this goal. This manual
provides detailed information for businesses, residents, managers, and owners of
property in unincorporated King County, and describes the actions we are all
required to take to reduce the contamination of stormwater, surface water, and
groundwater.
Note: This manual replaces the King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Manual, Best Management Practices for Businesses, dated January 2009.

Clarification of manuals
The Stormwater Pollutant Prevention Manual (SPPM) presents pollution
prevention practices for all property owners in unincorporated King County. Use
the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) for construction
projects that require King County permits and have stormwater quantity and
quality control requirements. Redevelopment or property improvements on
existing sites may require structural BMPs. Structural BMPs are found in this
manual as well as the KCSWDM.
