STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document presents the City of Auburn's Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). Preparation and
maintenance of this SWMP is required bythe Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) as a
condition of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (the Phase II Permit). The
Phase II permit covers discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).
Based on criteria outlined in the Phase II Permit, Ecology considers the City of Auburn to be an operator of
a small MS4, and therefore required to obtain pernut coverage.
Each municipality's permit for discharging stormwater is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants,
protect water quality, and meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act.
Appendix A includes acronyms and definitions from the Permit to help the reader understand the City's
Stormwater Management Program.
1.2 Regulatory Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the
federal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protect and restore waters for "fishable, swimmable" uses. The
federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental
agencies, and these agencies can set permit conditions in accordance with and in addition to the minimum
federal requirements. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State
Department of Ecology (Ecology).
Municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I
communities and must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Auburn's
1990 census falling below the 100,000 threshold, the City must comply with the Phase II Municipal
Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must now comply with the Phase II
Permit, along with Auburn, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Ecology's
Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit is available on Ecology's website at
http://www.ecywa.gov/programs/w-q/stormwater/municipal/phase_II_ww/ww ph_ii-permit.htn l
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the
state's water bodies (e.g., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to
protect water quality by reducing the discharge of "non-point source" pollutants to the "maximum extent
practicable" (MEP) through application of Permit-specified "best management practices" (BMPs). The BMPs
specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and
grouped under the following Program components:
¦ Public Education and Outreach
¦ Public Involvement
¦ Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

1: Introduction
¦ Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites
¦ Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operation and Maintenance
¦ Monitoring
of Auburn 2008 SWMP
The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on February 16, 2007 and expires on February 15, 2012. The
Permit requires the City to report annually (March 31St of each year) on progress in SWMP implementation
for the previous year. The Permit also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP
activities for the coming year. This document contains the City's proposed activities for 2008.
Implementation of various Permit conditions is staggered throughout the five-year Permit term from
February 16, 2007 through February 15, 2012. The Permit will be revised and reissued at the end of this
period.
1.3 City of Auburn Regulated Area
The Western Washington Phase II Permit applies to operators of regulated small MS4s that discharge
stormwater to waters of Washington State located west of the crest of the Cascade Range (west of the eastern
boundaries of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Lewis and Skamania counties). For cities, the
Permit requirements extend to those areas of each City that drain to MS4s. Most of Auburn drains to MS4s
that ultimately discharge into the Green River, the White River, or Mill Creek. In addition, some portions of
the City drain to regional infiltration bas ins.
1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance
The federal Clean Water Act requires that Ecology establish "Total Maximum Daily Loads" (TMDL) for
rivers, streams, lakes, and marine waters that don't meet water quality standards. A TMDL is a calculation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards.
After the TMDL has been calculated for a given water body, Ecology determines how much each source
must reduce its discharges of the pollutant in order bring the water body back into compliance with the water
quality standards. The Clean Water Act requires that TMDL requirements must be included in the NPDES
permits for dischargers into the affected water bodies.
Stormwater discharges covered under this pennit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the
pollutant' reductions called for in applicable TMDLs. Applicable TMDLs are those approved by the EPA
before the issuance date of the Permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the
pertnittee's application was received by Ecology. Information on Ecology's TMDL program is available on
Ecology's website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl.
The current permit does not contain any TMDL requirements for the City of Auburn. However, Ecology
has identified several water bodies that do not appear to meet the water quality standards. If Ecology
establishes TMDLs for one or more of these water bodies prior to 2012, the next version of the Permit may
contain additional requirements specified in the TMDL.
1.5 SWMP Implementation Responsibilities
The Utilities Engineering Division in the Public Works Department will be coordinating the overall
administration of efforts to comply with Permit requirements. The work plan tables in each Chapter provide
the lead departments for the associated task Other major departments/divisions included in the 2008 SWMP
implementation include Maintenance and Operations (M&O), Communications and Multimedia, Human
Resources (HR), development Engineering, Permit Center, Information services (IS), and Parks.

7. POLLUTION PREVENTION AND OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
This section describes the Permit requirements related to pollution prevention and operations and
maintenance for municipal operations, including descriptions of the City's current and planned compliance
activities for 2008.
7.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S5.C.5) requires the City to:
¦ Develop and implement an O&M program, with the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant
runoff from municipal separate stormwater system and municipal O&M activities.
¦ Establish maintenance standards for the municipal separate stormwater system that are at least as
protective as those specified in the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
¦ Perform required inspection frequency of stormwater flow control and treatment facilities and catch
basins, unless previous inspection data show that a reduced frequency is justified.
¦ Have SOPS in place to reduce stormwater impacts associated with runoff from municipal O&M
activities, including but not limited to streets, parking lots, roads, or highways owned or maintained by
the City, and to reduce pollutants in discharges from all lands owned or maintained by-the City.
¦ Train staff to implement the modified SOPS and document that training.
¦ Prepare Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for all heavy equipment maintenance or
storage yards identified for year--round facilities or yards, and material storage facilities owned or
operated by the City.
¦ Summarize annual activities for the "Pollution Prevention and Operations and Maintenance for
Municipal Operations" component of the Annual Compliance Report; identify any updates to the
SWMP.
7.2 Current Compliance Activities
The City currently has activities and programs that meet many of the Permit requirements. The current
compliance activities associated with the above Permit requirements include:
¦ The City operates an O&M program intended to minimize pollutant runoff from municipal
operations.
¦ The City conducts and records the necessary maintenance operations identified based on inspections
of many stormwater control facilities. The City performs spot checks of potentially damaged
permanent treatment and flow control facilities.
¦ M&O staff involved with pesticides, pest management, and erosion and sediment control, receive
training in these areas.

Plans.
¦ The City will summarize all associated activities in its first Annual Compliance Report on March 3151
2008. All subsequent Annual Compliance Reports will include SWMP updates.
7.3 Planned 2008 Compliance Activities
Auburn performs many of the Permit required activities to limit stormwater pollution potential related to its
municipal O&M program. However, updates will be necessary to maintain compliance as the Permit
requirements take effect (most are not required until 2010). Table 7-1 presents the work plan for 2008 SWM P

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
8. MONITORING
This section describes the Permit requirements related to water quality monitoring, including descriptions of
the City's current and planned compliance activities for 2008.
8.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S8) does not require municipalities to conduct water quality sampling or other testing
during this permit term, with the following exceptions:
¦ Sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to the SWMP's IDDE
conditions.
¦ Water quality monitoring required for compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
conditions (water quality clean up plans). The current Permit does not require that Auburn perform
TMDL-related monitoring because Ecology has not established TMDLs for water bodies that receive
stormwater runoff from the City.
¦ Preparing future comprehensive, long-term water quality monitoring plan including two components:
1) stormwater monitoring and 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring.
¦ By the 4th Annual Compliance Report (March 31, 2011), Auburn is required to identify two outfalls
where permanent stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for future monitoring.
The City is also required to develop plans to monitor stormwater, sediment, and receiving water for
physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics. One outfall must represent high-density
residential land use, and the other commercial land use.
¦ To monitor SWMP effectiveness, the City will need to identify two suitable Program questions and
sites where targeted Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted and develop a monitoring
plan for these questions and sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring is required to answer the
following types of questions:,
• How effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions?
• Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome?
In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in each annual
report:
¦ A description of any stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting
period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations
conducted by other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information
gathered or received shall be included in the annual report.
¦ An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices identified by the City for each
component of the SWMP; and any changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the BMPs that were
previously selected to implement the SWMP and why.

8.2 Current Compliance Activities
The City currently does not conduct any water quality monitoring intended to facilitate Stormwater
management decisions, evaluate or assist in pollutant spill response, or to otherwise investigate stormwater
quality.
The City developed a map of the significant municipal stormwater outfalls, but has not yet developed a
comprehensive water quality monitoring plan to implement future Permit water quality monitoring
requirements.
8.3 Planned 2008 Compliance Activities
Auburn will need to create a Water Quality Monitoring Program to maintain compliance during the next
Permit term. Except for summarizing monitoring activities no actions are required until 2010. Table 8-1
