STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1. INTRODUCTION
1.' Overview
This document presents the City of Aubum's Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). Pxepazation and maintenance of this SWMP is xequired by the Washington State Depattment of Ecology (Ecology) as a
condiuon of [he Westem Washington Phase II Municipal Stoxmwatex Pemut (the Phase II Permit). The
Phase II perrnit covexs discharges &om zegulated small municipal separate storm sewer sysrems (MS4s).
Based on criteria outlined in the Phase II Pexmit, Ecology considexs the Ciry of Auburn to be an opecator of
a small MS4, and therefore zequired to ob[ain pexmit coverage.
Each municipality's pecmit for discharging stoanwarei is designed to ieduce the dischaxge of pollutants, !
pcotect water quality, and meet the requirements oE the federal Clean Watei Act.
Appeadiac A indudes acronyms and defuutions fiom the Permi[ to help the ieadex undexstand the CiVs Stormwatez Management Progtam. .
1.2 Regulatory Background
The Nanonal Pollutant Dischazge Eliminanon System (NPDES) permit pcogram is a requirement of the "
fedetal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protect and restore watexs Eoi "fishable, swimmable" uses. The
fedecal Environmental Pzotecdon Agenry (EPA) has delegared permit authority to state envuonmental
agencies, and these agencies can set pemut condirions in accordance with and in addirion to the mununum
federal zequirements. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State
Department of Ecology (Ecology). '
Muniupalities with a populanon of over 100,000 (as oF the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I
commurndes and must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Auburn's
1990 census falling below the 100,000 thteshold, the City must comply with the Phase II Muniupal
Stotmwates Pexrnit. About 100 othes municipaliues in Washington must now comply with the Phase II ,
Permit, along vrith Aubum, as operators of small muniupal sepazate storm sewet systems (MS4s). Emloes Phase II Munitipal Stotmwater Permit is available on Ecology's website at
htto: / /www.ecy.wa.gov/oioPxams /wq/stormwater/municipa] /phaseIIww/wwphupernut.hunl
The Pexmit allows municipalities to dischazge stormwatex runofE Erom municipal drainage systems into the -
state's water bodies (e.g., streams, rivus, lakes, wedands) as long as muniupali$es implement programs to
pxotect water quality by teducing the dischazge oF "non-point source" pollutan[s to the "maxitnum extent
practicable" (MEP) through applicarion of Permit-speciFed "best management practices" (BMPs). The BMPs
specified in the Pemut aze collecdve(}' Iefeired to as the Stormwater Management Program (SWMI') and
- gzouped under the following PiogLam components:
• Public Educadon and Ouueach
~ Public Involvement
• Iiicit Discharge De[ecdon and Eluninadon

• Pollution Prevention and Muniapal Opesation and Maintenance
~ ■ Monitoring
i
i The Pexmit issued by Ecology became effecuve on February 16, 2007, was modified on June 17, 2009 and
j expues on Febmazy 15, 2012. The Pemvt requires the Ciry to report annually (Mazch 31a of each yeaz) on
1 progress in SWMP implementation for the pcevious yeaz. The Pexmit also requiLes submittal of
~ documentation that describes pxoposed SWMP activides for the coming yeaz. This documrnt contains the
j City's pLOposed acuvi[ies for 2010. Implementation of various Pemu[ condi[ions is staggesed tluoughout the
five-yeaz Pemut tettn from Febmary 16, 2007 thzough Februazy 15, 2012. The Pemut will be xevised and
ieissued at the end of this period.
9.3 City of Auburn Regu/afed Area
j The Westem Washington Phase II Permit applies to opeeators of regulated small MS4s that discharge
j sronnwatex to waters of Washington State located west of the crest of the Cascade Range (west of the eastem
~ boundaries of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Lewis and Skamania counties). For ciries, the
Pemut Lequirements extend to those azeas of each Ciry that deain to MS4s. Most of Aubum dcains to M54s
~ that ultimately dischazge into the Green Rivex, the White River, or Mill Creek. In addidon, some pozdons of
~ the Ciry drain to regional infiltration basins.
~ 1.4 7otal Maximum Daily Load (TiV1DL) Compliance
The Eedexal Clean Water Act iequues that Ecology establish "Total Maximum Daily Loads" (TIvIDL) for
i rivers, streams, lakes, and marine watess that don'[ meet water quaGty standuds. A TivDL is a calculation oF
' the maxumum amount of a pollutant-that a watec body can receive and still meet watex quality standazds.
~ After the TNIDL has been calculated for a given wates body, Ecology detemilnes how much each souxce
must ieduce its dischaiges of the pollutant in otdec bring the watet body back into compliance with the watet
quality standaids. The Clean Watei Act requires that TMDL requiiements must be induded in the NPDES
pemuts for dischaxgeis into the affected warex bodies.
I
'i Stormwater discharges covered under this permit aze xequired to unplement acUOns necessary to achieve the
i pollutant reducuons called for in applicable TNIDLs. Applicable TMDIs aze those approved by the EPA
before the issuance date of the Pexmit oc which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the
Permittee's aPPLcadon was xeceived bY EcoloBY. Information on Ecolo8Y's Z"NII~L Pro8ram is availa6le on
~
I Ecology's website at www.ecy.wa.gov/otograms/wq/vndl. - i The cuxrent pertnit does not contain any TMIDL xequirements for the Ciry of Aubum. However, Ecology
has idennfied several water bodies that do not appeaz to meet the watet qualiry standazds. If Ecology
establishes TTvIDLs for one ox more of these water bodies prior to 2012, the next vession of the Permit may
contain additional requiiements spetified in the TI~ML. - i.
; 1.5 SNI/MP Imp/ementation Responsibilities
' The Utilides Engineering Division in the PubGc Wocks Depactment coordinates the ovecall adminisuation of
`I eEforts to comply vrith Peanit requiretnents. The work plan tables in each Chaptet piovide the lead
'j departments for the assodated task. Othez majoc depatunents/divisions included in the 2010 SWMP
