Surface Water The naturally occurring water that flows over or is stored upon the earth' s surface (a.k.a.
storm water).
Temporary Control Measures Quantitative or qualitative drainage controls for construction or
emergency activities.
Temporary Drainage Facility Temporary structures or features, natural or artificial, that convey, treat,
and /or abate surface water runoff.
Water Course Any course or route formed by nature or modified by man, generally consisting of a
channel with a bed and banks or sides substantially throughout its length along which surface water
flows naturally (other than the Green /Duwamish River). The channel or bed need not contain water
year- round. Water courses do not include irrigation ditches, the storm water system or other entirely

sufficient to support and, that under normal circumstances does support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, bogs, and
similar areas (Army Corps of Engineers Regulation 33 CFR 323.2(c)). Constructed wetlands are not
considered wetlands for the purpose of this Ordinance, however, those artificial wetlands intentionally
created from non wetland areas to mitigate conversion of wetlands as permitted by the City shall be
considered wetlands.
Wetponds Drainage facilities for water quality treatment that contain a permanent pool of water,
usually four feet in depth, that are filled during the initial runoff from a storm event. They are designed to
optimize water quality by providing retention time (on the order of a week or more) in order to settle out
particles of fine sediment to which pollutants such as heavy metals absorb, and to allow biologic activity
to occur that metabolizes nutrients and organic pollutants.
Wetvaults the same as wetponds except that permanent pool of water is covered by a lid which blocks
sunlight from entering the facility, limiting the photodependent biologic activity.
1.4 The Drainage Review and Drainage Permit Process
Developments in the City of Tukwila that propose storm drainage activities or trigger any of the land
use /development activities listed below in Section 1.5 of this ordinance, require a DRAINAGE REVIEW
(See Sections 1.7 through 1.9 for requirements).
STORMWT9.DOC 11/21/95 4
If CONSTRUCTION of drainage facilities will result from the land use /development activity or drainage
activity, then a DRAINAGE PERMIT will be applied for (See Section 2 for requirements).
The DRAINAGE REVIEW and DRAINAGE PERMIT may be applied for as one application.
EXEMPTIONS and THRESHOLDS for applying for the DRAINAGE REVIEW and DRAINAGE PERMIT
are listed in Sections 1.5 and 1.6 of this ordinance.
SMALL PARCELS. For development that includes drainage features and facilities, but is exempt from the
criteria listed above and is not adjacent to a flood plain or sensitive area, a plan showing connections (if
connecting) to the public drain system will be submitted as part of the building permit. This drain plan
does not have to be done by an engineer. Additional temporary erosion controls will be in accordance
with the City's Land Altering Ordinance and erosion control methods will be in compliance with
Tukwila' s Erosion Control Standards (available at the permit counter).
