Recommendation:
Determination of Non - Significance (DNS)
Existing Environmental Information:
2004 Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan
Background:
•
Surface water regulations and practices at the state and federal level have changed since
1995, when the Tukwila City Council last adopted an ordinance to regulate surface water
management. The regulation environment has become more stringent to reduce the
amount of surface water entering storm water facilities and reduce impacts to salmon -
bearing streams.
During the past two years, the Department of Public Works has taken several actions to
update and improve its surface water management practices: completed an application to
the Washington State Department of Ecology for a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination Permit (NPDES) Phase II; completed a new Comprehensive Surface Water
Management Plan; and updated the surface water element of the Tukwila Comprehensive
Land Use Plan. The updates are to ensure the City complies with current regulations
including the Growth Management Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered
Species Act. The adoption of an updated Surface Water Management Ordinance will
provide the regulatory mechanism to implement the improvements to the City's surface
water management practices. The proposed ordinance also allows for the use of the
innovative surface water design technique of Low Impact Development to reduce the
amount of impervious surface.
Summary of Proposed Ordinance:
The City limits contain Gilliam, Southgate, and Riverton Creeks, wetlands and seasonal
drainage courses. Nearly all surface water in the City drains to the Green/Duwamish
River. To protect these resources, the proposed ordinance states the following purposes
1. Promote sound development policies and procedures that protect and preserve the
City's watercourses, ground water and surface water infrastructure;
2. Protect surface water conveyance systems and receiving waters from pollution,
mechanical damage, excessive flows and other conditions that increase erosion,
and/or turbidity, siltation and other pollution, or which will reduce ground water
recharge, or endanger aquatic and benthic life within surface waters and receiving
waters within the state;
3. Meet the requirements of state and federal law;
4. Fulfill the City's responsibilities as trustee of the environment for future
generations;

•
5. Promote the health, safety and welfare of the public;
6. Protect private and public property from drainage - related damage;
7. Promote site planning and construction practices that are consistent with natural
topographical, vegetative and hydrological conditions; and
8. Preserve and enhance the suitability of water bodies for recreation and wildlife
habitat.
To achieve these purposes, the ordinance regulates discharges to surface and ground
water by adopting a variety of standards. The standards established utilize the following
to review development activities:
• The City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit;
• The 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual;
• The Department of Ecology's Surface Water Management Manual; and
• The 1995 King County Storm Water Pollution Control Manual.
The City is adopting the County's Surface Water Design Manual. The DOE manual will
be used with the approval of the Director of the Department of Public Works, and is used
for state Department of Transportation project.
Activities that trigger drainage review under the 1998 King County Surface Water Design
Manual require a permit from the Department of Public Works. Storm water facilities
that are constructed are required to be maintained. The ordinance establishes the right for
the City to charge for the upkeep of drainage infrastructure through the use of a special
drainage fee. Financial guarantees and insurance may also be required prior to the
issuance of a permit.
The proposed ordinance establishes criteria against which to review exception requests.
One of the exceptions provided for in the proposed ordinance is the use of Low Impact
Development to achieve the goal of reducing the amount of impervious surface.
Summary of Major Impacts
There are two major impacts anticipated due to the adoption of this ordinance:
regulations governing storm water will become more stringent and there will be
improvements in the physical environment and habitat due to these regulations.

From: Public Works Department
Date: June 8, 2004
Subject: New Surface Water Management Ordinance
Non - project SEPA
ISSUE
RECEIVED
CITY OF TUKWILA
JUN 0 4 2004
PEAAAI - CENTER
Surface water regulations and practices have changed since 1995, when Tukwila
City Council adopted the current Surface Water Management Ordinance 1755.
BACKGROUND
During 2003 and 2004, Public Works has taken the following actions to update
and improve its surface water management practices:
1. Completed application to Department of Ecology for a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination Permit (NPDES) Phase II
2. Completed a new Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan
3. Updated the surface water element of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
These updates ensure the City complies with current regulations including the
Growth Management Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Phase II, and
the Endangered Species Act. Additionally, the updates allow for "state of the
art" practices, including Low Impact Development for water quality and quantity
control.
ANALYSIS
This ordinance consolidates and clarifies some parts of the existing ordinance.
The ordinance specifically adopts standards, including the 1998 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (14.30.070), contains specific language regarding
discharges (14.30.060), facility maintenance (14.30.090), inlet marking
(14.30.130), financial guarantees (14.30.120) and insurance (14.30.130).
Section 14.30.140 spells out the process for exceptions to the standards and
gives criteria for approval of Low Impact Development design.

PUBLIC NOTICE MATERIALS
ADDRESS LABEL REQUIREMENTS:
The City of Tukwila requires that neighboring residents, businesses and property owners be notified of
certain types of development applications. Applicants are therefore required to submit the following
materials:
• Mailing labels listing the property owners of record, residents and businesses within 500 feet of the
project property lines (not the property center). The number of sets of labels required depends on the
notice requirements of the underlying permit. Check that application form or consult with Planning
Staff for the number required.
• One copy of an Assessor's map(s) showing the boundaries of the subject property and the 500 foot
public notice area.
• Property owner names and addresses can be obtained from the King County Department . of
Assessment located on the 7th floor of the King County Administration Building, Room 700, 500
Fourth Avenue, Seattle. To compile the information required:
• Obtain the Assessor's map(s) that contain(s) your property and all neighboring properties within 500
feet (See example diagram). You may use the maps on file in the Assessor's Office or purchase a set
from the King County Department of Public Works Map Counter on the 9th floor of the
Administration Building. Purchased maps must be ordered several hours in advance of the time you
would like to pick them up.
• After securing the Assessor's maps, obtain a "Real Estate Inquiry Batch Request Sheet" from the
Department of Assessment. On this form, provide the tax account number for each affected property
as shown on the Assessor's map(s) and submit the completed form to the Department of Assessment
with the appropriate fee. Applicants can request the information be printed in mailing label form or on
standard paper.
• Alternately many title companies can provide property owner mailing labels.
To obtain occupants /resident/business names and addresses, consult the Kroll maps located in the Tukwila
Department of Community Development and do a field survey as directed. The information on the
mailing labels may refer to "Resident" or "Tenant ", with the proper mailing address, if the specific names
are unknown.

requirements at facilities that will eventually be transferred to the public
ownership;
h. Covenant, conditions and restrictions (CC &Rs) necessary for native
growth protection easements, impervious surface restrictions and other such
critical features necessary for the exceptions will be recorded against and will be
binding against all affected properties.
C. The Director may require a monitoring and evaluation plan in order to
measure performance of specific elements in the exceptions.
D. The Director may require a performance bond for 150% of the installation
cost of the exceptions.
E. The Director may require a two -year maintenance bond for 20% of the
construction cost.
