ISSUE
Review the City's 2010 Stormwater Management Program and the 2009 National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Annual Report.
BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires the City to implement a
comprehensive Stormwater Management Program (SWMP), which complies with the requirements
outlined in the City's NPDES Phase II permit that became effective February 16, 2007. The
conditions of the permit require that the City develop a SWMP and submit annual reports to the
Department of Ecology outlining our progress by March 31 of each year.
DISCUSSION
The Stormwater Management Program is updated annually to reflect any required changes and to
provide greater detail as various programs are fully developed. Once submitted to the Department
of Ecology, this plan will be used to determine whether permit obligations are being met. Attached is
the updated 2010 Stormwater Management Program. The final program will be completed by
August 19, 2011.
In addition, staff completed the 2009 Annual Report that reflects activities completed by the City in
2009. The annual report must be signed by the City Administrator and both documents must be
sent to the Department of Ecology by the reporting deadline of March 31, 2010.

1. INTRODUCTION
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a
requirement of the federal Clean Water Act. The federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies. In
Washington, the NPDES delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department
of Ecology (DOE). The City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater
Permit.
This document was prepared by the City of Tukwila to meet the requirements for a
Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) as required by the NPDES Phase II Permit
issued by DOE. The SWMP was developed to outline the reduction of pollutant
discharges from the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).
The Permit allows discharge of stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into
the state's waterbodies (i.e., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, etc.) as long as
municipalities implement programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of
"non -point source" pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable" (MEP). In addition,
the City must meet "all known and reasonable treatment" (AKART) through application
of Permit specified "best management practices" (BMPs). The practices specified in the
Permit are collectively referred to as the SWMP and grouped under the following
program components:
o Public Education and Outreach
o Public Involvement and Participation
o Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
o Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction
Sites
o Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations
The Permit requires that the City report annually (by March 31 of each year) on the
SWMP implementation from the prior year. The Permit also requires submittal of
documentation that describes proposed program activities for the coming year. As of
December 31, 2009, the City meets the initial Permit requirements.

2. NPDES PHASE II PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Tukwila is defined as a Phase II community by the Washington State Department of
Ecology, and therefore, is required to comply with the requirements of the Phase II
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Stormwater (NPDES) Permit. Phase II
communities are those that:
o Own and operate a storm drain system
o Discharge to surface waters of the state
o Are located in urbanized areas
o Have a population of more than 1,000.
Phase II communities were required to complete a NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit
Application and submit to DOE by March 10, 2003. The NPDES Phase II Permit
(Permit) was issued to Tukwila on January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 16,
2007. The Permit was modified on June 17, 2009 and expires on February 15, 2012.
As stated, the major program components listed in the Permit are as follows:
o Public Education and Outreach.
o Public Involvement and Participation.
o Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination.
o Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction
Sites.
o Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations.
The following sections describe each of the program components and how the City is
currently addressing each requirement and the City's future planned activities. In general,
the City of Tukwila is currently performing all required NPDES Phase II Permit activities
and has programs in place to address future requirements.
2.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
2.1.1 Permit Requirements
Section S5.C.1 of the Phase II permit requires that the City provide an educational and
outreach program for the area served by its MS4 no later than 2/15/2009. The purpose of
this program is to reduce or eliminate behaviors and practices that cause or contribute to
adverse stormwater impacts. The educational program will target audiences including:
the general public, businesses, industries, elected officials, policy makers, planning staff,
engineers, maintenance staff, and other City employees. Records of public education and
outreach activities including measurements of understanding and adoption of targeted
behaviors need to be tracked and maintained throughout the Permit's duration.

2.3.2 Current Activities
The City currently has several of the elements required for an IDDE program in place and
others will be developed as required. Current activities include the following:
1. Outfall Mapping
The City began a geographic information system (GIS) mapping program in 2003
that has mapped approximately 80% of the City. All receiving water body
outfalls have been mapped. The City has funding in place to complete mapping
by the required permit deadline of 2/15/2011. This program includes mapping all
public surface water pipes 8" and larger and obtaining system information such as
pipe invert, condition, and material. All GIS information is then added to the
City's GIS Database and is available for staff use. The information is also
provided upon request to the public.
2. Reporting Hotline
The City has an advertised reporting phone number, (206) 433 -1860, where
illegal dumping and spills can be reported.
3. Training Program
The City has implemented a training program that consisted of the following
activities:
o Staff training was conducted on August 25, 2009 for 33 employees, which
consisted of office engineers, field engineers, inspectors, and code
enforcement personnel.
o Staff training for street, stone, sewer, and water department personnel.
4. Video Inspection
The City's Surface Water Maintenance's video inspection program is divided into
four zones. Zone three was inspected in 2009 using video equipment to inspect
the areas storm water piping. Illegal pipe connections and questionable discharges
are investigated and corrective measures are taken when warranted.
5. Car Wash Program
As part of the City's ongoing public education program, a SudSafe Car Wash
program is in place. All organized car charity car washing events must use this
program.

2.5 POLLUTION PREVENTION AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
2.5.1 Permit Requirements
This minimum control measure requires that the City provide a pollution prevention and
operation and maintenance program including a training component that has the ultimate
goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. All elements
of the operations and maintenance program must be in place by February 16, 2010. The
minimum elements included in this program component are:
1. Establishinent of maintenance standards that are as protective, or more protective,
of facility functions than those specified in Chapter 4 of Volume V of the 2005
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. The purpose of the
maintenance standards is to determine if maintenance is required on a particular
facility or structure. If maintenance is deemed necessary during inspection, the
following schedule is required for completion of the required maintenance:
o Within 6 months for typical maintenance
o Within 9 months for maintenance requiring re- vegetation
o Within 1 year for wet pool facilities and retention /detention pond
o Within 2 years for maintenance that requires capital construction of less
than $25,000.
2. The City will develop an annual inspection program for flow control facilities and
will do spot checks after major storm events for damage.
3. The inspection program will include inspections of all catch basins and inlets in
the MS4 before the Permit expiration date.
4. Inspections will be documented with the work needed or completed on the
stormwater facilities according to the Permit requirements for reporting.
5. The City will develop and implement a program to reduce the stormwater impacts
from streets, parking lots, roads, highways, and other lands owned, operated or
maintained by the City, including road maintenance.
6. The City will develop and implement a training program for City employees
whose job functions may impact stormwater quality.

The City has an active pollution prevention and operation and maintenance program
implemented by the City's Surface Water Maintenance Division. This program includes
the following activities:
1. Catch Basin Inspection
The City will inspect all catch basins and inlets owned and operated by the City at
least once before the end of the permit term (minimum 5 -year rotating schedule).
If the catch basin has over 6 inches of deposited sediment in the sump, it will be
cleaned.
2. Conveyance System Inspection/Cleaning
The City's piped stone drainage system has been delineated into zones by the
Public Works staff. Pipe system maintenance is scheduled by zone, and each zone
is maintained on a 3 to 5 -year cycle. This includes repair of all pipes and catch
basins, with particular attention given to chronic problem areas and areas for
which complaints have been received from citizens.
3. Flow /Water Quality Facilities
The City inspects all surface water flow control and water quality facilities on an
annual basis. Maintenance is performed as needed and includes vegetative
control, structure repair, and sediment removal. Maintenance is performed at
least once every 10 years, or as needed through the current inspection and
compliant processes.
4. Drainage Complaints
The City responds to all stormwater- related complaints. Complaints are submitted
to the City through Requests for Action (RFAs), Environmental Report Tracking
System (ERTS), City Council meetings, letters, e- mails, and telephone calls.
These complaints are forwarded to the appropriate division and /or to the
respective property owner /project site.
5. Problem Areas
Maintenance staff keeps an informal list of problem areas occurring in the City's
ditch system. These problem areas are maintained every 3- to 5- years.
6. Video Inspection
The City maintains an annual closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection
schedule of its existing pipeline system to help identify illegal connections to
drainage systems and damaged sections of pipe. This information is used to
schedule repairs and further investigate illicit discharges and connections.
7. Hazardous Material Spills
Tukwila Fire Department responds to hazardous material spills. Though City
maintenance crews are often the first group to respond to spill complaints, they
are limited to the use of absorbent pillows and oil absorbing particulate materials.

CONCLUSION
This Surface Water Management Program has been prepared to demonstrate compliance
with the requirements of the NPDES Phase II Permit and outline planned activities for
2010. This SWMP will be a working document until the final plan is to be completed by
August 19, 2011.
There are multiple tasks that the City is undertaking to align itself with the Permit
requirements and many elements that need to be accomplished and built upon.
The Public Education and Outreach Program has been implemented and exciting
opportunities exist to be even more creative in developing a program that reaches out
with useful information that will benefit the general public, business district, and
industrial community.
The City has an ongoing Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program in place
and will continue to update it with staff training, enforcement of the IDDE ordinance, and
distribute additional educational materials.
With the knowledge base that the City has in place, controlling runoff from new
development, redevelopment, and construction sites will now be more manageable.
With the use of various SWPPP's, including the 2009 King County Surface Water Design
Manual, the City has a program in place that meets its obligation of pollution prevention
for municipal operations.
