A. NPDES Program: 2014 Annual Report and 2015 Surface Water Management Program
Staff provided an overview of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES)
2014 Annual Report and 2015 Surface Water Management Program (SWMP) Plan. The Annual
Report reflects activities completed by the City in 2014. The SWMP Plan is required by the
NPDES Program to show that the City complies with requirements outlined in the NPDES Phase
II permit, effective August 1, 2013. The SWMP Plan contains required elements including public
education and outreach, public involvement and participation, illicit discharge detection and
elimination, runoff control, and pollution prevention and operation and maintenance. Both
documents must be submitted to the Department of Ecology by March 31, 2015. Staff noted that
hiring of an NPDES Inspector as authorized in the 2015 -2016 Budget adoption is underway.

B. Consultant Agreement: Fort Dent Park BNSF Sewer Relocation
Staff is seeking Council approval of an agreement with KPFF Consulting Engineers for the design
of the Fort Dent Park BNSF Sewer Relocation Project in the amount of $156,877.00. The
sanitary sewer from Fort Dent Park is piped under the BNSF railroad tracks to the King County
Metro treatment plant in Renton. BNSF will be adding a third set of tracks through the Fort Dent
Park Area, necessitating the relocation of the existing sewer line. KPFF was chosen from a short
list of three firms identified on the Municipal Research and Services Center Roster. One benefit
of the relocation project will be added capacity for the Starfire sports complex. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 16, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Interurban Water Reuse
Staff is seeking Council approval for renewal of the Reclaimed Water Service and Use Area
Agreement with Starfire Sports, Tukwila and King County for the use of reclaimed water for the
irrigation of the soccer fields at Fort Dent Park. King County must have end user agreements in
place to ensure compliance with their State Department of Ecology permit, and the 2009
agreement expired on August 25, 2014. If approved the renewed agreement will be in effect for
five years. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 16, 2015 REGULAR
