CITY OF AUBURN 2014
STORMWATER MANAGEMEN T PROGRAM PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document presents the City of Auburn’s Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). Preparation and
maintenance of this SWMP Plan is required by the 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). The
SWMP Plan is intended to inform the public of the planned SWMP activities for the upcoming year.
The permit to discharge 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).
In Washington, municipalities with a population of over 100,000 are designated as Phase I communities and
must comply with Ecology’s Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. Auburn’s population is below
the 100,000 threshold, so the City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. About 100
other municipalities in Washington must also comply with the Phase II Permit, 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.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/municipal/phaseIIww/wwphiipermit.html
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the
state’s water bodies (e.g., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and aquifers) 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 and Participation
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites

Municipal Operations and Maintenance
In addition to the SWMP components the Permit contains special conditions covering:
Compliance with Total Maximum Daily load requirements
Monitoring and Assessment
Reporting Requirements
The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on August 1, 2013 and expires on July 31, 2018. The Permit
requires the City to submit an annual report no later than March 31st of each year beginning in 2015, on
progress in SWMP implementation. The Permit also requires submittal of a SWMP Plan which describes
proposed SWMP activities for the current calendar year. The SWMP Plan is to be updated annually and be
included in the submittal of the previous year’s annual report.
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 basins.
1.4 SWMP Implementation Responsibilities
The Utilities Engineering Division in the Public Works Department coordinates 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 2014 SWMP
implementation are Maintenance and Operations (M&O), Human Resources (HR), Development
Engineering, Permit Center, Innovation and Technology (IT), and Parks.
1.5 Document Organization
The contents of this document are based upon Permit requirements and Ecology’s “Guidance for City and
County Annual Reports for Western Washington, Phase II Municipal Stormwater General Permits.” The
program components of this SWMP are organized as listed in the Permit:
Section 2.0 addresses administering the City’s Stormwater Management Program.
Section 3.0 addresses public education and outreach.
Section 4.0 addresses public involvement and participation.
Section 5.0 addresses illicit discharge detection and elimination.
Section 6.0 addresses controlling runoff from new development, redevelopment, and construction
sites.
Section 7.0 addresses municipal operations and maintenance.
Section 8.0 addresses compliance with TMDL requirements.
Section 9.0 addresses monitoring.
Each section includes a summary of the relevant Permit requirements and a table showing the planned
activities for 2014. This document also includes acronyms and definitions in Appendix A for easy reference.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH TOTA L MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD
REQUIREMENTS
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. TMDL requirements are included in the stormwater NPDES permits for discharges into
affected water bodies.
Stormwater discharges covered under this Permit 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 issue date of the
Permit or the date Ecology issues coverage under the Permit, whichever is later. Information on Ecology’s
TMDL program is available on Ecology’s website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl.
In accordance with Permit condition S7 Compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load Requirements the City
must comply with the following TMDL.

Background Summary:
The City of Auburn conducts progressive code enforcement action in accordance with
Chapter 1.25 (Civil Penalties for Violations) and other applicable Titles and Chapters of
the Auburn City Code. The City of Auburn opened a code compliance case for 911 17th
Street NE on October 23, 2013 in response to complaints received for garbage, debris,
litter and junk sitting on the property. Consistent with standard operating procedure,
code enforcement officers attempted to obtain compliance by working with the occupant
of the residence. Due to a lack of response by the occupant, code enforcement issued a
formal Notice to Correct on December 6, 2013 that provided 7 calendar days to bring the
property into compliance. Because the occupant made a modest amount of progress
code enforcement staff granted additional time to complete the clean up. Over the
course of the next three weeks the occupant did not make any additional progress. As a
result, on December 31, 2013 code enforcement staff issued a Notice of Penalty which
imposes a $500 fine plus an additional $100 per day until the violation is remedied. As of
February 19, 2014 the property remains in the same non-compliant condition and the
fines have accumulated to $5,000.00.
Following consultation with the Mayor’s Office and the City Attorney’s Office, Community
Development staff have determined that the current condition of this property pertaining
to the public nuisance warrant abatement action by the City of Auburn. The passage of
this Resolution would authorize the Mayor or designee to engage in substantive
abatement action. The condition of the property, in staff’s professional determination,
present a threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the
surrounding properties and negatively impacts the community’s quality of life.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.B Page 44 of 66
Following passage of the Resolution by the City Council, staff will contract with a
qualified service provider to conduct cleanup of the exterior portions of the property.
Staff anticipates that there may be a need to conduct on-going clean up and securement
activity until the City can obtain compliance action from the ownership entity. All costs
associated with first time and on-going abatement actions will be applied as a lien
against the property that will have to be paid in order for any future sale of the property
to occur.
The City will also track and apply all administrative costs (staff time, court cots, filing
fees, etc.) associated with the conduct of abatement against this property and apply
them as a lien against the property as well.
Community Development has adequate budget capacity to cover anticipated costs
associated with abatement actions potentially through the remainder of the calendar
year. These anticipated costs range between $1,500 and $2,000.
The Planning and Community Development Committee recommended approval of
Resolution No. 5047 to the full City Council at its February 24, 2014 regular meeting.

enforcement mechanism for the City to address abatement of nuisances and
enforcement of laws against unlawful activity involving junk, litter, debris and
weeds; and
WHEREAS, the code provisions empower the City to take corrective
action when efforts to have the property owner cure the nuisance problem have
been unsuccessful; and
WHEREAS, the condition of the property located at 911 17th Street NE,
Auburn, violates the City’s nuisance code as the property is littered with
household trash, recyclables, garbage, and yard waste debris in a quantity
sufficient to pose health risks to the Auburn citizens; and
WHEREAS, City Code Enforcement staff have requested compliance,
have issued correction notices, and imposed civil penalties upon the owner of the
property; but all efforts have been apparently inadequate to prompt them to
correct the nuisance conditions at that property; and
WHEREAS, because the litter, debris, weeds, and junk present a danger
to public health, safety and welfare it is appropriate that the City take appropriate
