II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
In November 2007, the Council approved a consultant agreement with Parametrix, Inc. for assistance in
creating a stormwater management plan as required by the City's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II permit.
Staff returned to Committee to report on the completion of the ftrst draft of the Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP). The Plan addresses ftve required components of the NPDES Permit:
. Public Education and Outreach
o Examples: carwash kits, drainage education, distribute educational information
. Public Involvement and Participation
o Examples: provide updates, documents and report information through City publications
. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
o Examples: ordinance, establish hotline, identiftcation training for staff
. Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites
o Examples: adopt stormwater manual, annual inspections, review site plans
. Pollution Prevention and Operation & Maintenance for Municipal Operations Monitoring
o Examples: establish maintenance standards, ongoing training, spot checks
Staff also reviewed other permit requirements as well as a time line for implementation of these
requirements. NPDES Phase II permit is an unfunded mandate for implementing the Department of
Ecology's clean water act requirements.
Staff considers our City to be further along than several neighboring jurisdictions that are not yet
prepared for addressing permit requirements. INFORMATION ONLY. FORWARD TO MACRH 24
