INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director/ City Engineer
BY: Sherry Edquid, Levee Project Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: October 8, 2021
SUBJECT: Surface Water Fund — Stormwater Management Action Plan
Project No. 99341210 and 8214120
Department of Ecology Water Quality Grant Application
ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of a grant application to the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE)
Water Quality Combined Funding Program to fund a portion of the Stormwater Management Action
Plan (SMAP).
BACKGROUND
In August 2019, DOE issued an update to the NPDES Permit for Phase II Municipalities. Under this
permit the City is required to prepare a SMAP to identify approaches that accommodate development
while preventing water quality degradation and/or improving water quality conditions harmed by past
developments.
DISCUSSION
DOE is currently seeking applications for its Water Quality Combined Funding Program for State Fiscal
Year 2023. The City's SMAP is eligible for funding through this granting agency. Grant applications are
due by October 15, 2021, with funding allocated in early 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
A preliminary cost estimate for $366,000 has been prepared to develop the SMAP. The City has
existing funds for this project but seeks to request $50,000 to supplement the existing budget. The
grant application indicates that a 15% local city match, or $7,500, for hardship projects, for which the
City of Tukwila qualifies (as opposed to a 25% match for non -hardship projects). Hardship projects are
for cities with populations of less than 25,000 and the Median Household Income (MHI) is less than
80% of the State's. Matching funds will be drawn from the Surface Water 412 Fund and fall within the
project budget.

RECOMMENDATION

Combined Funding Program for State Fiscal Year 2023 and permission to seek out and apply for future
grant funding opportunities to fund this NPDES effort.
