COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS A. In accordance with RCW 90.48.520, the discharge of toxicants to waters of the state of Washington which would violate any water quality standard, including toxicant standards, sediment criteria, and dilution zone criteria is prohibited. The required response to such discharges is defined in section S4.F, below. B. This Permit does not authorize a discharge which would be a violation of Washington State Surface Water Quality Standards (chapter 173-201A WAC), Ground Water Quality Standards (chapter 173-200 WAC), Sediment Management Standards (chapter 173-204 WAC), or human health-based criteria in the national Toxics Rule (Federal Register, Vol. 57, NO. 246, Dec. 22, 1992, pages 60848-60923). The required response to such discharges is defined in section S4.F, below. C. The Permittee shall reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). D. The Permittee shall use all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention, control and treatment (AKART) to prevent and control pollution of waters of the state of Washington. E. In order to meet the goals of the Clean Water Act, and comply with S4.A, S4.B, S4.C, and S4.D each Permittee shall comply with all of the applicable requirements of this Permit as identified in S3. Responsibilities of Permittees. F. A Permittee remains in compliance with S4 despite any discharges prohibited by S4.A or S4.B, when the Permittee undertakes the following response toward long- term water quality improvement: 1. A Permittee shall notify Ecology in writing within 30 days of becoming aware, based on credible site-specific information that a discharge from the MS4 owned or operated by the Permittee is causing or contributing to a known or likely violation of Water Quality Standards in the receiving water. Written notification provided under this subsection shall, at a minimum, identify the source of the site- specific information, describe the nature and extent of the known or likely violation in the receiving water, and explain the reasons why the MS4 discharge is S4.F.1 S4.F.3 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 13 of 74 believed to be causing or contributing to the problem. For ongoing or continuing violations, a single written notification to Ecology will fulfill this requirement. 2. In the event that Ecology determines, based on a notification provided under S4.F.1 or through any other means, that a discharge from an MS4 owned or operated by the Permittee is causing or contributing to a violation of Water Quality Standards in a receiving water, Ecology will notify the Permittee in writing that an adaptive management response outlined in S4.F.3 below is required, unless: a. Ecology also determines that the violation of Water Quality Standards is already being addressed by a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or other enforceable water quality cleanup plan; or b. Ecology concludes the MS4 contribution to the violation will be eliminated through implementation of other permit requirements. 3. Adaptive Management Response a. Within 60 days of receiving a notification under S4.F.2, or by an alternative date established by Ecology, the Permittee shall review its Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and submit a report to Ecology. The report shall include: i. A description of the operational and/or structural BMPs that are currently being implemented to prevent or reduce any pollutants that are causing or contributing to the violation of Water Quality Standards, including a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of each best management practice (BMP). ii. A description of potential additional operational and/or structural BMPs that will or may be implemented in order to apply AKART on a site-specific basis to prevent or reduce any pollutants that are causing or contributing to the violation of Water Quality Standards. iii. A description of the potential monitoring or other assessment and evaluation efforts that will or may be implemented to monitor, assess, or evaluate the effectiveness of the additional BMPs. iv. A schedule for implementing the additional BMPs including, as appropriate: funding, training, purchasing, construction, monitoring, and other assessment and evaluation components of implementation. b. Ecology will, in writing, acknowledge receipt of the report within a reasonable time and notify the Permittee when it expects to complete its review of the report. Ecology will either approve the additional BMPs and implementation schedule or require the Permittee to modify the report as S4.G.1 S4.G.3 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 14 of 74 needed to meet AKART on a site-specific basis. If modifications are required, Ecology will specify a reasonable time frame in which the Permittee shall submit and Ecology will review the revised report. c. The Permittee shall implement the additional BMPs, pursuant to the schedule approved by Ecology, beginning immediately upon receipt of written notification of approval. d. The Permittee shall include with each subsequent annual report a summary of the status of implementation and the results of any monitoring, assessment or evaluation efforts conducted during the reporting period. If, based on the information provided under this subsection, Ecology determines that modification of the BMPs or implementation schedule is necessary to meet AKART on a site-specific basis, the Permittee shall make such modifications as Ecology directs. In the event there are ongoing violations of water quality standards despite the implementation of the BMP approach of this section, the Permittee may be subject to compliance schedules to eliminate the violation under WAC 173-201A-510(4) and WAC 173-226-180 or other enforcement orders as Ecology deems appropriate during the term of this permit. e. A TMDL or other enforceable water quality cleanup plan that has been approved and is being implemented to address the MS4’s contribution to the Water Quality Standards violation supersedes and terminates the S4.F.3 implementation plan. f. Provided the Permittee is implementing the approved adaptive management response under this section, the Permittee remains in compliance with Condition S4, despite any on-going violations of Water Quality Standards identified under S4.A or B above. g. The adaptive management process provided under Section S.4.F is not intended to create a shield for the Permittee from any liability it may face under 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. or chapter 70.105D RCW. G. Ecology may modify or revoke and reissue this General Permit in accordance with G14 General Permit Modification and Revocation, if Ecology becomes aware of additional control measures, management practices or other actions beyond what is required in this Permit that are necessary to: 1. Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the MEP, 2. Comply with the state AKART requirements, or 3. Control the discharge of toxicants to waters of the State of Washington.

(c) It is not a permit violation if other entities, over whose actions the Permittee has limited or no control, refuse to participate in the coordination plan described in S5.C.4.g.i. ii. No later than November 4, 2015 the Permittee must submit a scope of work and a schedule to Ecology for the complete watershed-scale stormwater planning process. The scope of work and schedule are subject to Ecology’s review and approval. If Ecology takes longer than 90 days to provide a written response, the required deadline for submitting a final watershed-scale stormwater plan to Ecology will be automatically extended by the number of days Ecology exceeds 90 days, but no later than July 30, 2018. The scope of work and schedule must apply to the geographic extent of the jurisdictions of the Permittees listed under S5.C.4.g.i (a) above and, at a minimum, describe: S5.C.4 S5.C.4 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 33 of 74 (a) An assessment of existing hydrologic, biologic, and water quality conditions within the selected watershed, and an assessment of the current status of the aquatic community. This assessment can be based on existing data where such data are available. Where such data are not available, or are not sufficient, the scope of work and schedule must include the collection of such data. The existing conditions assessment must, at a minimum, include the following: 1) Water quality conditions as established through sampling during base flows and storm flows for, at a minimum, the following chemical parameters: dissolved copper, dissolved zinc, temperature, and fecal coliform. Permittees must identify or collect data from locations upgradient and downgradient of stream sections influenced by MS4 discharges. 2) Continuous flow monitoring of the stream to provide the data necessary to calibrate a continuous runoff model to the selected watershed. Permittees must identify or collect flow monitoring data from locations upgradient and downgradient of stream sections influenced by MS4 discharges. 3) Macroinvertebrate data for the purpose of estimating current Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity (B-IBI) scores and comparing them with the scores predicted by the existing values of the hydrologic metrics in S5.C.4.g.ii (d). 4) The status of the aquatic community, including the presence and distribution of salmonid uses, using data from existing sources. (b) Efforts to compile and/or generate maps of the selected watershed to identify the existing distribution and totals of general soil types, vegetative land cover, impervious land covers, and regulated and other MS4s. Maps must be sufficient to allow construction of a rainfall/runoff model representation of the watershed. Maps must also identify areas within the watershed appropriate for special attention in regard to hydrologic and water quality impacts. For example: headwater wetlands and critical aquifer recharge areas. (c) How the Permittee will use the existing conditions assessment from S5.C.4.g.ii (a) and the maps described in S5.C.4.g.ii (b) to S5.C.4 S5.C.4 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 34 of 74 calibrate a continuous runoff model to reflect the existing hydrologic, water quality, and biologic (as represented by B-IBI score) conditions. (d) How the Permittee will use the model calibrated in S5.C.4.g.ii (c) to estimate hydrologic changes from the historic condition; and to predict the future hydrologic, biologic, and water quality conditions at full build-out under existing or proposed comprehensive land use management plan(s) for the watershed. Future biologic conditions must be estimated by using a correlation of hydrologic metrics with B-IBI scores for Puget Sound Lowland Streams 26, or other similar correlation if approved by Ecology. Future water quality conditions must be described through estimation of concentrations of, at a minimum, dissolved copper, dissolved zinc, temperature, and fecal coliform. (e) How, if the estimation in S5.C.4.g.ii (d) predicts water quality standards will not be met, the Permittee will use the calibrated watershed model to evaluate stormwater management strategies to meet the standards. The same hydrologic metrics and correlated B-IBI scores, and water quality parameters used in S5.C.4.g.ii (d) must be used to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies. 1) Stormwater management strategies to be evaluated for all jurisdictions in the watershed must include: • Changes to development-related codes, rules, standards, and plans. • Potential future structural stormwater control projects. 2) Stormwater management strategies evaluated may also include: • Basin-specific stormwater control requirements for new development and redevelopment as allowed by Section 7 of Appendix 1. • Strategies to encourage redevelopment and infill, and an assessment of options for efficient, effective runoff 26 DeGasperi, C.L., Berge, H.

(f) How the permittee will create an implementation plan and schedule that includes: potential future actions to implement the identified stormwater management strategies, responsible parties, estimated costs, and potential funding mechanisms. (g) A public review and comment process that, at a minimum, focuses on the draft watershed-scale stormwater plan. The public review must allow for public comment from all governmental entities with jurisdiction within the watershed. iii. The watershed-scale stormwater planning process, as documented in the scope of work and schedule, may include an evaluation of strategies to preserve or improve other factors that influence maintenance of the existing and designated uses of the stream. Examples include: channel restoration, in-stream culvert replacement, quality of the riparian zone, gravel disturbance regime, and presence and distribution of large woody debris. iv. Each Permittee (or group of Permittees operating under a single scope of work, as described above) must submit a final watershed-scale stormwater plan to Ecology no later April 4, 2018. The plan must summarize results of the modeling and planning process, describe results of the evaluation of strategies under S5.C.4.g.ii (e), and include the implementation plan and schedule developed pursuant to S5.C.4.g.ii (f). 5. Municipal Operations and Maintenance Each Permittee shall implement an operations and maintenance (O&M) program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations.27 The minimum performance measures are: a. Each Permittee shall implement maintenance standards that are as protective, or more protective, of facility function than those specified in Chapter 4 of Volume V of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. For facilities which do not have maintenance standards, the Permittee shall develop a maintenance standard. Except for Permittees located in Lewis and 27 New Permittees shall develop and implement the requirements of S5.C.5 no later than December 31, 2017 except where otherwise noted in this section. S5.C.5 S5.C.5 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 36 of 74 Cowlitz Counties and the City of Aberdeen, no later than December 31, 2016, Permittees shall update their maintenance standards as necessary to meet the requirements of this section.28 For Permittees in Lewis and Cowlitz Counties, this requirement shall apply no later than June 30, 2017; for the City of Aberdeen this requirement shall apply no later than June 30, 2018. i. The purpose of the maintenance standard is to determine if maintenance is required. The maintenance standard is not a measure of the facility’s required condition at all times between inspections. Exceeding the maintenance standard between inspections and/or maintenance is not a permit violation. ii. Unless there are circumstances beyond the Permittee’s control, when an inspection identifies an exceedance of the maintenance standard, maintenance shall be performed: • Within 1 year for typical maintenance of facilities, except catch basins. • Within 6 months for catch basins. • Within 2 years for maintenance that requires capital construction of less than $25,000. Circumstances beyond the Permittee’s control include denial or delay of access by property owners, denial or delay of necessary permit approvals, and unexpected reallocations of maintenance staff to perform emergency work. For each exceedance of the required timeframe, the Permittee shall document the circumstances and how they were beyond their control. b. Annual inspection of all municipally owned or operated permanent stormwater treatment and flow control BMPs/facilities, and taking appropriate maintenance actions in accordance with the adopted maintenance standards.29 Permittees may reduce the inspection frequency based on maintenance records of double the length of time of the proposed inspection frequency. In the absence of maintenance records, the Permittee may substitute written statements to document a specific less frequent inspection schedule. Written 28 New Permittees shall adopt the updated maintenance standards in Chapter 4 of Volume V of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington or an Ecology-approved program under the 2013 Phase I Permit no later than December 31, 2017. 29 New Permittees shall begin annual inspections of municipally owned or operated stormwater treatment and flow control facilities/BMPs no later than December 31, 2017.

Spot checks of potentially damaged permanent stormwater treatment and flow control BMPs/facilities after major storm events (24 hour storm event with a 10 year or greater recurrence interval). If spot checks indicate widespread damage/maintenance needs, inspect all stormwater treatment and flow control BMPs/facilities that may be affected. Conduct repairs or take appropriate maintenance action in accordance with maintenance standards established above, based on the results of the inspections. d. Except for the City of Aberdeen, inspection of all catch basins and inlets owned or operated by the Permittee at least once no later than August 1, 2017 and every two years thereafter. 30 For the City of Aberdeen, the deadline for this requirement shall be no later than June 30, 2018. Clean catch basins if the inspection indicates cleaning is needed to comply with maintenance standards established in the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Decant water shall be disposed of in accordance with Appendix 6 Street Waste Disposal. The following alternatives to the standard approach of inspecting all catch basins once no later than August 1, 2017 and every two years thereafter (except no later than June 30, 2018 and every two years thereafter for the City of Aberdeen) may be applied to all or portions of the system: i. The catch basin inspection schedule of every two years may be changed as appropriate to meet the maintenance standards based on maintenance records of double the length of time of the proposed inspection frequency. In the absence of maintenance records for catch basins, the Permittee may substitute written statements to document a specific, less frequent inspection schedule. Written statements shall be based on actual inspection and maintenance experiences and shall be certified in accordance with G19 Certification and Signature. ii. Inspections at least once by August 1, 2017 and every two years thereafter may be conducted on a “circuit basis” whereby 25% of catch basins and inlets within each circuit are inspected to identify maintenance needs. Include an inspection of the catch basin immediately upstream of any system outfall or discharge point, if applicable. Clean all catch basins within a given circuit for which the 30 New Permittees shall inspect and, if needed, clean all catch basins and inlets owned or operated by the Permittee in accordance with the requirements of S5.C.5.d once during the permit term, to be completed no later than February 2, 2018. S5.C.5 S5.C.5 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit – August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Page 38 of 74 inspection indicates cleaning is needed to comply with maintenance standards established under S5.C.5.a, above. iii. The Permittee may clean all pipes, ditches, catch basins, and inlets within a circuit once during the permit term. Circuits selected for this alternative must drain to a single point. e. Compliance with the inspection requirements in b, c, and d above shall be determined by the presence of an established inspection program designed to inspect all sites and achieving at least 95% of inspections. f. Implement practices, policies and procedures to reduce stormwater impacts associated with runoff from all lands owned or maintained by the Permittee, and road maintenance activities under the functional control of the Permittee. Lands owned or maintained by the Permittee include, but are not limited to, streets, parking lots, roads, highways, buildings, parks, open space, road right- of-ways, maintenance yards, and stormwater treatment and flow control BMPs/facilities.

The training program shall address the importance of protecting water quality, operation and maintenance standards, inspection procedures, selecting appropriate BMPs, ways to perform their job activities to prevent or minimize impacts to water quality, and procedures for reporting water quality concerns. Follow-up training shall be provided as needed to address changes in procedures, techniques, requirements, or staffing. Permittees shall document and maintain records of training provided and the staff trained. h. Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all heavy equipment maintenance or storage yards, and material storage facilities owned or operated by the Permittee in areas subject to this Permit that are not required to have coverage under the General NPDES Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities or another NPDES permit that authorizes stormwater discharges associated with the activity. A schedule for implementation of structural BMPs shall be included in the SWPPP. Generic SWPPPs that can be applied at multiple sites may be used to comply with this requirement. The SWPPP shall include periodic visual observation of discharges from the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMP. i. Maintain records of inspections and maintenance or repair activities conducted by the Permittee. S6. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR SECONDARY PERMITTEES A.

It often includes an aggregate base that provides structural support and acts as a stormwater reservoir. Pervious Surface – Any surface material that allows stormwater to infiltrate into the ground. Examples include lawn, landscape, pasture, native vegetation areas, and permeable pavements. Pollution-generating hard surface (PGHS) – Those hard surfaces considered to be a significant source of pollutants in stormwater runoff. See the listing of surfaces under pollution-generating impervious surface. Pollution-generating impervious surface (PGIS) – Those impervious surfaces considered to be a significant source of pollutants in stormwater runoff. Such surfaces include those which are subject to: vehicular use; industrial activities (as further defined in the glossary of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW)); storage of erodible or leachable materials, wastes, or chemicals, and which receive direct rainfall or the run-on or blow-in of rainfall; metal roofs unless they are coated with an inert, non-leachable material (e.g., baked-on enamel coating); or roofs that are subject to venting significant amounts of dusts, mists, or fumes from manufacturing, commercial, or other indoor activities. Pollution-generating pervious surfaces (PGPS) – Any non-impervious surface subject to vehicular use, industrial activities (as further defined in the glossary of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW); or storage of erodible or leachable materials, wastes, or chemicals, and that receive direct rainfall or run-on or blow-in of rainfall, use of pesticides and fertilizers, or loss of soil. Typical PGPS include permeable pavement subject to vehicular use, lawns, and landscaped areas including: golf courses, parks, cemeteries, and sports fields (natural and artificial turf). Pre-developed condition – The native vegetation and soils that existed at a site prior to the influence of Euro-American settlement. The pre-developed condition shall be assumed to be a forested land cover unless reasonable, historic information is provided that indicates the site was prairie prior to settlement. Project site – That portion of a property, properties, or right of way subject to land disturbing activities, new hard surfaces, or replaced hard surfaces. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 6 of 32 Rain Garden – A non-engineered shallow landscaped depression, with compost-amended native soils and adapted plants. The depression is designed to pond and temporarily store stormwater runoff from adjacent areas, and to allow stormwater to pass through the amended soil profile. Receiving waterbody or Receiving waters – naturally and/or reconstructed naturally occurring surface water bodies, such as creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, and marine waters, or groundwater, to which a MS4 discharges. Redevelopment – On a site that is already substantially developed (i.e., has 35% or more of existing hard surface coverage), the creation or addition of hard surfaces; the expansion of a building footprint or addition or replacement of a structure; structural development including construction, installation or expansion of a building or other structure; replacement of hard surface that is not part of a routine maintenance activity; and land disturbing activities. Replaced hard surface – For structures, the removal and replacement of hard surfaces down to the foundation. For other hard surfaces, the removal down to bare soil or base course and replacement. Replaced impervious surface – For structures, the removal and replacement of impervious surfaces down to the foundation. For other impervious surfaces, the removal down to bare soil or base course and replacement. Site – The area defined by the legal boundaries of a parcel or parcels of land that is (are) subject to new development or redevelopment. For road projects, the length of the project site and the right-of-way boundaries define the site. Source control BMP – A structure or operation that is intended to prevent pollutants from coming into contact with stormwater through physical separation of areas or careful management of activities that are sources of pollutants. The Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) separates source control BMPs into two types. Structural Source Control BMPs are physical, structural, or mechanical devices, or facilities that are intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. Operational BMPs are non-structural practices that prevent or reduce pollutants from entering stormwater. See Volume IV of the SWMMWW for details. Threshold Discharge Area – An on-site area draining to a single natural discharge location or multiple natural discharge locations that combine within one-quarter mile downstream (as determined by the shortest flowpath). The examples in Figure 2.1 below illustrate this definition. The purpose of this definition is to clarify how the thresholds of this appendix are applied to project sites with multiple discharge points. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 7 of 32 Vehicular Use – Regular use of an impervious or pervious surface by motor vehicles. The following are subject to regular vehicular use: roads, un-vegetated road shoulders, bike lanes within the traveled lane of a roadway, driveways, parking lots, unrestricted access fire lanes, vehicular equipment storage yards, and airport runways. The following are not considered subject to regular vehicular use: paved bicycle pathways separated from and not subject to drainage from roads for motor vehicles, restricted access fire lanes, and infrequently used maintenance access roads. Wetland – Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were unintentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street, or highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands.

Applicability of the Minimum Requirements 3.1 Thresholds Not all of the Minimum Requirements apply to every development or redevelopment project. The applicability varies depending on the project type and size. This section identifies thresholds that determine the applicability of the Minimum Requirements to projects. Use the flow charts in Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 to determine which of the Minimum Requirements apply. The Minimum Requirements themselves are presented in Section 4 of this Appendix. Use the thresholds in sections 3.2 and 3.3 at the time of application for a subdivision, plat, short plat, building permit, or other construction permit. The plat or short plat approval shall identify all stormwater BMPs that are required for each lot. For projects involving only land disturbing activities, (e.g., clearing or grading), the thresholds apply at the time of application for the permit allowing or authorizing that activity. Note the exemption in Section 1 for forest practices other than Class IV General. Will the project discharge stormwater either directly or indirectly into an MS4 owned or operated by the Permittee?

The local government may allow the Minimum Requirements to be met for an equivalent (flow and pollution characteristics) area within the same site. For public road projects, the equivalent area does not have to be within the project limits, but must drain to the same receiving water. 3.4 Additional Requirements for Re-development Project Sites For road-related projects, runoff from the replaced and new hard surfaces (including pavement, shoulders, curbs, and sidewalks) and the converted vegetation areas shall meet all the Minimum Requirements if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet or more and total 50% or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits. The project limits shall be defined by the length of the project and the width of the right-of-way. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 12 of 32 Other types of redevelopment projects shall comply with Minimum Requirements #1 through #9 for the new and replaced hard surfaces and the converted vegetation areas if the total of new plus replaced hard surfaces is 5,000 square feet or more, and the valuation of proposed improvements – including interior improvements – exceeds 50% of the assessed value of the existing site improvements. The Permittee may exempt or institute a stop-loss provision for redevelopment projects from compliance with Minimum Requirement #5 On-site Stormwater Management, Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment, Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control and/or Minimum Requirement #8 Wetlands Protection as applied to the replaced hard surfaces if the Permittee has adopted a plan and a schedule that fulfills those requirements in regional facilities. The Permittee may grant a variance/exception to the application of the flow control requirements to replaced impervious surfaces if such application imposes a severe economic hardship. See Section 6 of this Appendix. 3.5 Modification of the Minimum Requirements Basin Planning is encouraged and may be used to tailor Minimum Requirement #5 On-site Stormwater Management, Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment, Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control, and/or Minimum Requirement #8 Wetlands Protection. Basin planning may also be used to demonstrate an equivalent level of treatment, flow control, and/or wetland protection through the construction and use of regional stormwater facilities. See Section 7 of this Appendix for details on Basin Planning and how Permittees may use basin planning to modify the Minimum Requirements in Section 4. Section 4. Minimum Requirements This Section describes the Minimum Requirements for stormwater management at new development and redevelopment sites. Section 3 of this Appendix should be consulted to determine which of the minimum requirements below apply to any given project. Figures 3.2 and 3.3 should be consulted to determine whether the minimum requirements apply to new surfaces, replaced surfaces, or new and replaced surfaces. 4.1 Minimum Requirement #1: Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans The permittee shall require a Stormwater Site Plan from all projects meeting the thresholds in Section 3.1 of this Appendix. Stormwater Site Plans shall use site- appropriate development principles, as required and encouraged by local development codes, to retain native vegetation and minimize impervious surfaces to the extent feasible. Stormwater Site Plans shall be prepared in accordance with Chapter 3 of Volume 1 of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW). Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 13 of 32 4.2 Minimum Requirement #2: Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Permittees may choose to allow compliance with this Minimum Requirement to be achieved for an individual site if the site is covered under Ecology’s General NPDES Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities and fully implementing the requirements of that permit. Thresholds All new development and redevelopment projects are responsible for preventing erosion and discharge of sediment and other pollutants into receiving waters. Permittees must require a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all projects which result in 2,000 sq. ft. or more of new plus replaced hard surface area, or which disturb 7,000 sq. ft. or more of land. Projects below those thresholds are not required to prepare a Construction SWPPP, but must consider all of the Elements listed below for Construction SWPPPs and develop controls for all elements that pertain to the project site. The Permittee may develop an abbreviated SWPPP format to meet the SWPPP requirement under this permit for project sites that will disturb less than 1 acre. General Requirements The SWPPP shall include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs shall be clearly referenced in the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative shall include documentation to explain and justify the pollution prevention decisions made for the project. Each of the thirteen elements listed below must be considered and included in the SWPPP unless site conditions render the element unnecessary and the exemption from that element is clearly justified in the narrative of the SWPPP. Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted pursuant to an approved site development plan (e.g., subdivision approval) that establishes permitted areas of clearing, grading, cutting, and filling. These permitted clearing and grading areas and any other areas required to preserve critical or sensitive areas, buffers, native growth protection easements, or tree retention areas as may be required by local jurisdictions, shall be delineated on the site plans and the development site. The SWPPP shall be implemented beginning with initial land disturbance and until final stabilization. Sediment and Erosion control BMPs shall be consistent with the BMPs contained in chapter 4 of Volume II of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW). Seasonal Work Limitations - From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities may only be authorized by the Permittee if silt-laden runoff will be prevented from leaving the site through a combination of the following: 1. Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type and proximity to receiving waters; and 2. Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and 3. Proposed erosion and sediment control measures. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 14 of 32 Based on the information provided and/or local weather conditions, the Permittee may expand or restrict the seasonal limitation on site disturbance. The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing and grading limitations: 1. Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs, 2. Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the soil or result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil, and 3. Activities where there is one hundred percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the site in approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities. Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Elements 1. Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits: a. Before beginning land disturbing activities, including clearing and grading, clearly mark all clearing limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, and trees that are to be preserved within the construction area. b. Retain the duff layer, native top soil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed state to the maximum degree practicable. 2. Establish Construction Access: a. Limit construction vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible. b. Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other equivalent BMPs, to minimize tracking of sediment onto public roads. c. Locate wheel wash or tire baths on-site, if the stabilized constructions entrance is not effective in preventing tracking sediment onto roads. d. If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadways thoroughly at the end of each day, or more frequently as necessary (for example, during wet weather). Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or pick up and transport the sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area. e. Conduct street washing only after sediment is removed in accordance with 2.d, above. f. Control street wash wastewater by pumping back on-site, or otherwise prevent it from discharging into systems tributary to waters of the State. 3. Control Flow Rates: a. Protect properties and waterways downstream of development sites from erosion and the associated discharge of turbid waters due to increases in the velocity and peak volumetric flow rate of stormwater runoff from the project site. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 15 of 32 b. Where necessary to comply with 3.a, above, construct stormwater retention or detention facilities as one of the first steps in grading. Assure that detention facilities function properly before constructing site improvements (e.g., impervious surfaces). c. If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction, protect these facilities from siltation during the construction phase. 4. Install Sediment Controls: a. Design, install, and maintain effective erosion controls and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants. b. Construct sediment control BMPs (sediment ponds, traps, filters, etc.) as one of the first steps in grading. These BMPs shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place. c. Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design, installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must address factors such as the amount, frequency, intensity and duration of precipitation, the nature of resulting stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics, including the range of soil particle sizes expected to be present on the site. d. Direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas through a sediment pond or other appropriate sediment removal BMP, before the runoff leaves a construction site or before discharge to an infiltration facility. Runoff from fully stabilized areas may be discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must meet the flow control performance standard in 3.a, above. e. Locate BMPs intended to trap sediment on-site in a manner to avoid interference with the movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages. f. Where feasible, design outlet structures that withdraw impounded stormwater from the surface to avoid discharging sediment that is still suspended lower in the water column. 5. Stabilize Soils: a. Stabilize exposed and unworked soils by application of effective BMPs that prevent erosion. Applicable BMPs include, but are not limited to: temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic covering, erosion control fabrics and matting, soil application of polyacrylamide (PAM), the early application of gravel base early on areas to be paved, and dust control. b. Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion. c. Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 16 of 32 d. Soils must not remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set forth below to prevent erosion: • During the dry season (May 1 – September 30): 7 days • During the wet season (October 1 – April 30): 2 days e. Stabilize soils at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on the weather forecast. f. Stabilize soil stockpiles from erosion, protect with sediment trapping measures, and where possible, locate away from storm drain inlets, waterways and drainage channels. g. Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity. h. Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes. i. Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil. 6. Protect Slopes: a. Design and construct cut-and-fill slopes in a manner to minimize erosion. Applicable practices include, but are not limited to, reducing continuous length of slope with terracing and diversions, reducing slope steepness, and roughening slope surfaces (for example, track walking). b. Divert off-site stormwater (run-on) or ground water away from slopes and disturbed areas with interceptor dikes, pipes and/or swales. Off-site stormwater should be managed separately from stormwater generated on the site. c. At the top of slopes, collect drainage in pipe slope drains or protected channels to prevent erosion. • Temporary pipe slope drains must handle the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-minute time step from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year 1- hour flow rate predicted by an approved continuous runoff model, increased by a factor of 1.6, may be used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition for predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the project limits. For tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use the temporary or permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates. If using the Western Washington Hydrology Model to predict flows, bare soil areas should be modeled as “landscaped area.” d. Place excavated material on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with safety and space considerations. e. Place check dams at regular intervals within constructed channels that are cut down a slope. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 17 of 32 7. Protect Drain Inlets: a. Protect storm drain inlets made operable during construction so that stormwater runoff does not enter the conveyance system without first being filtered or treated to remove sediment. b. Clean or remove and replace inlet protection devices when sediment has filled one-third of the available storage (unless a different standard is specified by the product manufacturer). 8. Stabilize Channels and Outlets: a. Design, construct, and stabilize all on-site conveyance channels to prevent erosion from the following expected peak flows: • Channels must handle the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10- minute time step from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour flow rate indicated by an approved continuous runoff model, increased by a factor of 1.6, may be used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition for predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the project limits. For tributary areas on the project site, the analysis shall use the temporary or permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates. If using the Western Washington Hydrology Model to predict flows, bare soil areas should be modeled as “landscaped area.” b. Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion of outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream reaches at the outlets of all conveyance systems. 9. Control Pollutants: a. Design, install, implement and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants. b. Handle and dispose all pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris that occur on-site in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. c. Provide cover, containment, and protection from vandalism for all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products, and other materials that have the potential to pose a threat to human health or the environment. On-site fueling tanks must include secondary containment. Secondary containment means placing tanks or containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of the volume contained in the largest tank within the containment structure. Double- walled tanks do not require additional secondary containment. d. Conduct maintenance, fueling and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles using spill prevention and control measures. Clean contaminated surfaces immediately following any spill incident. e. Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site treatment system that prevents discharge to surface water, such as closed-loop recirculation or upland application, or to the sanitary sewer, with local sewer district approval. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 18 of 32 f. Apply fertilizers and pesticides in a manner and at application rates that will not result in loss of chemical to stormwater runoff. Follow manufacturers’ label requirements for application rates and procedures. g. Use BMPs to prevent contamination of stormwater runoff by pH modifying sources. The sources for this contamination include, but are not limited to: bulk cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete washing and curing waters, waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing, exposed aggregate processes, dewatering concrete vaults, concrete pumping and mixer washout waters. h. Adjust the pH of stormwater if necessary to prevent violations of water quality standards. i. Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in designated concrete washout areas only. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams. Do not dump excess concrete on-site, except in designated concrete washout areas. Concrete spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. j. Obtain written approval from Ecology before using chemical treatment other than CO2 or dry ice to adjust pH. 10. Control De-Watering: a. Discharge foundation, vault, and trench de-watering water, which have similar characteristics to stormwater runoff at the site, into a controlled conveyance system before discharge to a sediment trap or sediment pond. b. Discharge clean, non-turbid de-watering water, such as well-point ground water, to systems tributary to, or directly into surface waters of the State, as specified in 8, above, provided the de-watering flow does not cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters. Do not route clean dewatering water through stormwater sediment ponds. Note that “surface waters of the State” may exist on a construction site as well as off site; for example, a creek running through a site. c. Handle highly turbid or otherwise contaminated dewatering water separately from stormwater. d. Other treatment or disposal options may include: (i) Infiltration (ii) Transport off-site in vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a manner that does not pollute state waters. (iii) Ecology-approved on-site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment technologies. (iv) Sanitary or combined sewer discharge with local sewer district approval, if there is no other option. (v) Use of a sedimentation bag that discharges to a ditch or swale for small volumes of localized dewatering. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 19 of 32 11. Maintain BMPs: a. Maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function in accordance with BMP specifications. b. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs within 30 days after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. 12. Manage the Project: a. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work limitations. b. Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. c. Maintaining an updated construction SWPPP – Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP. d. Projects that disturb one or more acres must have site inspections conducted by a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL). Project sites disturbing less than one acre may have a CESCL or a person without CESCL certification conduct inspections. By the initiation of construction, the SWPPP must identify the CESCL or inspector, who must be present on-site or on-call at all times. 13. Protect Low Impact Development BMPs a. Protect all Bioretention and Rain Garden BMPs from sedimentation through installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the Bioretention and/or Rain Garden BMPs. Restore the BMPs to their fully functioning condition if they accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring the BMP must include removal of sediment and any sediment-laden Bioretention/rain garden soils, and replacing the removed soils with soils meeting the design specification. b. Prevent compacting Bioretention and Rain Garden BMPs by excluding construction equipment and foot traffic. Protect completed lawn and landscaped areas from compaction due to construction equipment. c. Control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from surrounding land uses onto permeable pavements. Do not allow muddy construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not allow sediment-laden runoff onto permeable pavements or base materials. d. Pavements fouled with sediments or no longer passing an initial infiltration test must be cleaned using procedures from the local stormwater manual or the manufacturer’s procedures. e. Keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under LID BMPs that have been excavated to final grade to retain the infiltration rate of the soils. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 20 of 32 4.3 Minimum Requirement #3: Source Control of Pollution All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs must be required for all projects approved by the Permittee. Source control BMPs must be selected, designed, and maintained in accordance with Volume IV of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington or an approved equivalent manual approved by Ecology. 4.4 Minimum Requirement #4: Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the project site shall occur at the natural location, to the maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the project site must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down gradient properties. All outfalls require energy dissipation. 4.5 Minimum Requirement #5: On-site Stormwater Management Applicability Except as provided below, the Permittee must require On-site Stormwater Management BMPs in accordance with the following project thresholds, standards, and lists to infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on-site to the extent feasible without causing flooding or erosion impacts. Projects qualifying as flow control exempt in accordance with Section 4.7 of this Appendix do not have to achieve the LID performance standard, nor consider bioretention, rain gardens, permeable pavement, and full dispersion if using List #1 or List #2. However, those projects must implement BMP T5.13; BMPs T5.10A, B, or C; and BMP T5.11or T5.12, if feasible. Project Thresholds 1. Projects triggering only Minimum Requirements #1 through #5 shall either: a. Use On-site Stormwater Management BMPs from List #1 for all surfaces within each type of surface in List #1; or b. Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard. Projects selecting this option cannot use Rain Gardens. They may choose to use Bioretention BMPs as described in the SWMMWW1. 2. Projects triggering Minimum Requirements #1 through #9 must meet the requirements in Table 4.1 1 All references to the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington are to the 2014 amended version.

The following require construction of stormwater treatment facilities: • Projects in which the total of pollution-generating hard surface (PGHS) is 5,000 square feet or more in a threshold discharge area of the project, or • Projects in which the total of pollution-generating pervious surfaces (PGPS) – not including permeable pavements - is three-quarters (3/4) of an acre or more in a threshold discharge area, and from which there will be a surface discharge in a natural or man-made conveyance system from the site. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 24 of 32 Treatment-Type Thresholds 1. Oil Control: Treatment to achieve Oil Control applies to projects that have “high-use sites.” High-use sites are those that typically generate high concentrations of oil due to high traffic turnover or the frequent transfer of oil. High-use sites include: a. An area of a commercial or industrial site subject to an expected average daily traffic (ADT) count equal to or greater than 100 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of gross building area; b. An area of a commercial or industrial site subject to petroleum storage and transfer in excess of 1,500 gallons per year, not including routinely delivered heating oil; c. An area of a commercial or industrial site subject to parking, storage or maintenance of 25 or more vehicles that are over 10 tons gross weight (trucks, buses, trains, heavy equipment, etc.); d. A road intersection with a measured ADT count of 25,000 vehicles or more on the main roadway and 15,000 vehicles or more on any intersecting roadway, excluding projects proposing primarily pedestrian or bicycle use improvements. 2. Phosphorus Treatment: The requirement to provide phosphorous control is determined by the local government with jurisdiction (e.g., through a lake management plan), or the Department of Ecology (e.g., through a waste load allocation). The local government may have developed a management plan and implementing ordinances or regulations for control of phosphorus from new/redevelopment for the receiving water(s) of the stormwater drainage. The local government can use the following sources of information for pursuing plans and implementing ordinances and/or regulations: a. Those waterbodies reported under section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act, and designated as not supporting beneficial uses due to phosphorous; b. Those listed in Washington State's Nonpoint Source Assessment required under section 319(a) of the Clean Water Act due to nutrients. 3. Enhanced Treatment: Except where specified below under “4. Basic Treatment”, Enhanced treatment for reduction in dissolved metals is required for the following project sites that: 1) discharge directly to fresh waters or conveyance systems tributary to fresh waters designated for aquatic life use or that have an existing aquatic life use; or 2) use infiltration strictly for flow control – not treatment – and the discharge is within ¼ Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 25 of 32 mile of a fresh water designated for aquatic life use or that has an existing aquatic life use: Industrial project sites, Commercial project sites, Multi-family project sites, and High AADT roads as follows: Within Urban Growth Management Areas: • Fully controlled and partially controlled limited access highways with Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts of 15,000 or more • All other roads with an AADT of 7,500 or greater Outside of Urban Growth Management Areas: • Roads with an AADT of 15,000 or greater unless discharging to a 4th Strahler order stream or larger; • Roads with an AADT of 30,000 or greater if discharging to a 4th Strahler order stream or larger (as determined using 1:24,000 scale maps to delineate stream order). Any areas of the above-listed project sites that are identified as subject to Basic Treatment requirements (below), are not also subject to Enhanced Treatment requirements. For developments with a mix of land use types, the Enhanced Treatment requirement shall apply when the runoff from the areas subject to the Enhanced Treatment requirement comprise 50% or more of the total runoff within a threshold discharge area. 4. Basic Treatment: Basic Treatment is required in the following circumstances: • Project sites that discharge to the ground, UNLESS: 1) The soil suitability criteria for infiltration treatment are met (See Chapter 3, Volume III of the SWMMWW), and alternative pretreatment is provided (see Chapter 6, Volume V of the SWMMWW); or 2) The project site uses infiltration strictly for flow control – not treatment - and the discharge is within ¼-mile of a phosphorus sensitive lake (use a Phosphorus Treatment facility), or 3) The project site is industrial, commercial, multi-family residential, or a high AADT road (consistent with the Enhanced Treatment-type thresholds listed above) and is within ¼ mile of a fresh water designated for aquatic life use or that has an existing aquatic life use.(use an Enhanced Treatment facility). Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 26 of 32 • Residential projects not otherwise needing phosphorus control as designated by USEPA, the Department of Ecology, or by the Permittee; • Project sites discharging directly (or indirectly through a municipal separate storm sewer system) to Basic Treatment Receiving Waters (Appendix I-C of the SWMMWW); • Project sites that drain to fresh water that is not designated for aquatic life use, and does not have an existing aquatic life use; and project sites that drain to waters not tributary to waters designated for aquatic life use or that have an existing aquatic life use; • Landscaped areas of industrial, commercial, and multi-family project sites, and parking lots of industrial and commercial project sites that do not involve pollution-generating sources (e.g., industrial activities, customer parking, storage of erodible or leachable material, wastes or chemicals) other than parking of employees’ private vehicles. For developments with a mix of land use types, the Basic Treatment requirement shall apply when the runoff from the areas subject to the Basic Treatment requirement comprise 50% or more of the total runoff within a threshold discharge area. Treatment Facility Sizing Size stormwater treatment facilities for the entire area that drains to them, even if some of those areas are not pollution-generating, or were not included in the project site threshold decisions (Section 3 of this appendix) or the treatment threshold decisions of this minimum requirement. Water Quality Design Storm Volume: The volume of runoff predicted from a 24-hour storm with a 6-month return frequency (a.k.a., 6-month, 24-hour storm). Wetpool facilities are sized based upon the volume of runoff predicted through use of the Natural Resource Conservation Service curve number equations in Chapter 2 of Volume III of the SWMMWW), for the 6-month, 24-hour storm. Alternatively, when using an approved continuous runoff model, the water quality design storm volume shall be equal to the simulated daily volume that represents the upper limit of the range of daily volumes that accounts for 91% of the entire runoff volume over a multi-decade period of record. Water Quality Design Flow Rate 1. Preceding Detention Facilities or when Detention Facilities are not required: The flow rate at or below which 91% of the runoff volume, as estimated by an approved continuous runoff model, will be treated. Design criteria for treatment facilities are assigned to achieve the applicable performance goal (e.g., 80% TSS removal) at the water quality design flow rate. At a minimum, 91% of the total runoff volume, as estimated by an approved continuous runoff model, must pass through the treatment facility(ies) at or below the approved hydraulic loading rate for the facility(ies). Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 27 of 32 2. Downstream of Detention Facilities: The water quality design flow rate must be the full 2-year release rate from the detention facility. Treatment Facility Selection, Design, and Maintenance Stormwater treatment facilities shall be: • Selected in accordance with the process identified in Chapter 4 of Volume I, and Chapter 2 of Volume V of the SWMMWW, • Designed in accordance with the design criteria in Volume V of the SWMMWW, and • Maintained in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Volume V of the SWMMWW. Additional Requirements The discharge of untreated stormwater from pollution-generating hard surfaces to ground water must not be authorized by the Permittee, except for the discharge achieved by infiltration or dispersion of runoff through use of On-site Stormwater Management BMPs in accordance with Chapter 5, Volume V and Chapter 7, Volume V of the SWMMWW; or by infiltration through soils meeting the soil suitability criteria in Chapter 3 of Volume III of the SWMMWW. 4.7 Minimum Requirement #7: Flow Control Applicability Except as provided below, the Permittee must require all projects provide flow control to reduce the impacts of stormwater runoff from hard surfaces and land cover conversions. The requirement below applies to projects that discharge stormwater directly, or indirectly through a conveyance system, into a fresh water body. Flow control is not required for projects that discharge directly to, or indirectly through an MS4 to a water listed in Appendix I-E of the SWMMWW subject to the following restrictions: • Direct discharge to the exempt receiving water does not result in the diversion of drainage from any perennial stream classified as Types 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the State of Washington Interim Water Typing System, or Types “S”, “F”, or “Np” in the Permanent Water Typing System, or from any category I, II, or III wetland; and • Flow splitting devices or drainage BMP’s are applied to route natural runoff volumes from the project site to any downstream Type 5 stream or category IV wetland: o Design of flow splitting devices or drainage BMP’s will be based on continuous hydrologic modeling analysis. The design will assure that flows Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 28 of 32 delivered to Type 5 stream reaches will approximate, but in no case exceed, durations ranging from 50% of the 2-year to the 50-year peak flow. o Flow splitting devices or drainage BMP’s that deliver flow to category IV wetlands will also be designed using continuous hydrologic modeling to preserve pre-project wetland hydrologic conditions unless specifically waived or exempted by regulatory agencies with permitting jurisdiction; and • The project site must be drained by a conveyance system that is comprised entirely of manmade conveyance elements (e.g., pipes, ditches, outfall protection) and extends to the ordinary high water line of the exempt receiving water; and • The conveyance system between the project site and the exempt receiving water shall have sufficient hydraulic capacity to convey discharges from future build-out conditions (under current zoning) of the site, and the existing condition from non- project areas from which runoff is or will be collected; and • Any erodible elements of the manmade conveyance system must be adequately stabilized to prevent erosion under the conditions noted above. If the discharge is to a stream that leads to a wetland, or to a wetland that has an outflow to a stream, both this minimum requirement (Minimum Requirement #7) and Minimum Requirement #8 apply. Permittees may petition Ecology to exempt projects in additional areas. A petition must justify the proposed exemption based upon a hydrologic analysis that demonstrates that the potential stormwater runoff from the exempted area will not significantly increase the erosion forces on the stream channel nor have near-field impacts. Thresholds When assessing a project against the following thresholds, consider only those impervious, hard, and pervious surfaces that are subject to this minimum requirement as determined in Section 3 of this Appendix. The following circumstances require achievement of the standard flow control requirement for western Washington: • Projects in which the total of effective impervious surfaces is 10,000 square feet or more in a threshold discharge area, or • Projects that convert ¾ acres or more of vegetation to lawn or landscape, or convert 2.5 acres or more of native vegetation to pasture in a threshold discharge area, and from which there is a surface discharge in a natural or man-made conveyance system from the site, or • Projects that through a combination of hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas cause a 0.10 cubic feet per second (cfs) increase or greater in the 100-year flow frequency from a threshold discharge area as estimated using the Western Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 29 of 32 Washington Hydrology Model or other approved model and one-hour time steps (or a 0.15 cfs increase or greater using 15-minute time steps).3 Standard Flow Control Requirement Stormwater discharges shall match developed discharge durations to pre-developed durations for the range of pre-developed discharge rates from 50% of the 2-year peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow. The pre-developed condition to be matched shall be a forested land cover unless: • Reasonable, historic information is available that indicates the site was prairie prior to settlement (modeled as “pasture” in the Western Washington Hydrology Model); or • The drainage area of the immediate stream and all subsequent downstream basins have had at least 40% total impervious area since 1985. In this case, the pre- developed condition to be matched shall be the existing land cover condition. The map in Appendix I-G of the SWMMWW depicts those areas which meet this criterion. Where basin-specific studies determine a stream channel to be unstable, even though the above criterion is met, the pre-developed condition assumption shall be the “historic” land cover condition, or a land cover condition commensurate with achieving a target flow regime identified by an approved basin study. This standard requirement is waived for sites that will reliably infiltrate all the runoff from hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas. Western Washington Alternative Requirement An alternative requirement may be established through application of watershed-scale hydrological modeling and supporting field observations. Possible reasons for an alternative flow control requirement include: • Establishment of a stream–specific threshold of significant bedload movement other than the assumed 50% of the 2-year peak flow; • Zoning and Land Clearing Ordinance restrictions that, in combination with an alternative flow control standard, maintain or reduce the naturally occurring erosive forces on the stream channel; or • A duration control standard is not necessary for protection, maintenance, or restoration of designated and existing beneficial uses or Clean Water Act compliance. See Section 7 Basin/Watershed Planning of this Appendix for details on how alternative flow control requirements may be established. 3 The 0.10 cfs (one-hour time steps) or 0.15 cfs (15-minute time steps) increase should be a comparison of the post- project runoff to the existing condition runoff. For the purpose of applying this threshold, the existing condition is either the pre-project land cover, or the land cover that existed at the site as of a date when the local jurisdiction first adopted flow control requirements into code or rules. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 30 of 32 Additional Requirement Flow Control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained in accordance with Volume III of the SWMMWW or an approved equivalent. 4.8 Minimum Requirement #8: Wetlands Protection Applicability The requirements below apply only to projects whose stormwater discharges into a wetland, either directly or indirectly through a conveyance system. Thresholds The thresholds identified in Minimum Requirement #6 – Runoff Treatment, and Minimum Requirement #7 – Flow Control shall also be applied to determine the applicability of this requirement to discharges to wetlands. Standard Requirement Projects shall comply with Guide Sheets #1 through #3 in Appendix I-D of the SWMMWW. The hydrologic analysis shall use the existing land cover condition to determine the existing hydrologic conditions unless directed otherwise by a regulatory agency with jurisdiction. Additional Requirements Stormwater treatment and flow control facilities shall not be built within a natural vegetated buffer, except for: • Necessary conveyance systems as approved by the Permittee; or • As allowed in wetlands approved for hydrologic modification and/or treatment in accordance with Guide Sheet 2 in Appendix I-D of the SWMMWW. An adopted and implemented basin plan prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of this Appendix may be used to develop requirements for wetlands that are tailored to a specific basin. 4.9 Minimum Requirement #9: Operation and Maintenance Permittees must require an operation and maintenance manual that is consistent with the provisions in Volume V of the SWMMWW for proposed stormwater facilities and BMPs. The party (or parties) responsible for maintenance and operation shall be identified in the operation and maintenance manual. For private facilities approved by the Permittee, a copy of the operation and maintenance manual shall be retained on-site or within reasonable access to the site, and shall be transferred with the property to the new owner. For public facilities, a copy of the operation and maintenance manual shall be retained in the appropriate department. A log of maintenance activity that indicates what actions were taken shall be kept and be available for inspection by the local government. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 31 of 32 Section 5. Adjustments Adjustments to the Minimum Requirements may be granted by the Permittee provided that a written finding of fact is prepared, that addresses the following: • The adjustment provides substantially equivalent environmental protection. • Based on sound Engineering practices, the objectives of safety, function, environmental protection and facility maintenance, are met. Section 6. Exceptions/Variances Exceptions/variances (exceptions) to the Minimum Requirements may be granted by the Permittee following legal public notice of an application for an exception or variance, legal public notice of the Permittee’s decision on the application, and written findings of fact that documents the Permittees determination to grant an exception. Permittees shall keep records, including the written findings of fact, of all local exceptions to the Minimum Requirements. Project-specific design exceptions based on site-specific conditions do not require prior approval of Ecology. The Permittee must seek prior approval by Ecology for any jurisdiction-wide exception. The Permittee may grant an exception to the minimum requirements if such application imposes a severe and unexpected economic hardship. To determine whether the application imposes a severe and unexpected economic hardship on the project applicant, the Permittee must consider and document with written findings of fact the following: • The current (pre-project) use of the site, and • How the application of the minimum requirement(s) restricts the proposed use of the site compared to the restrictions that existed prior to the adoption of the minimum requirements; and • The possible remaining uses of the site if the exception were not granted; and • The uses of the site that would have been allowed prior to the adoption of the minimum requirements; and • A comparison of the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of the minimum requirements versus the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of requirements that existed prior to adoption of the minimum requirements; and • The feasibility for the owner to alter the project to apply the minimum requirements. In addition any exception must meet the following criteria: • The exception will not increase risk to the public health and welfare, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity and/or downstream, and to the quality of waters of the state; and • The exception is the least possible exception that could be granted to comply with the intent of the Minimum Requirements. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ______________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 1- Minimum Technical Requirements Page 32 of 32 Section 7. Basin/Watershed Planning Basin/Watershed planning may be used by the Permittee to tailor Minimum Requirement #5 On-site Stormwater Management, Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment, Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control, and/or Minimum Requirement #8 Wetlands Protection. Basin planning may also be used to demonstrate an equivalent level of treatment, flow control, and/or wetland protection through the construction and use of regional stormwater facilities. Basin planning provides a mechanism by which the minimum requirements and implementing BMP’s can be evaluated and refined based on an analysis of a basin or watershed. Basin plans may be used to develop control strategies to address impacts from future development and to correct specific problems whose sources are known or suspected. Basin plans can be effective at addressing both long-term cumulative impacts of pollutant loads and short-term acute impacts of pollutant concentrations, as well as hydrologic impacts to streams, wetlands, and ground water resources. Basin planning will require the use of continuous runoff computer models and field work to verify and support the models. Permittees who are considering the use of basin/watershed plans to modify or tailor one or more of the minimum requirements are encouraged to contact Ecology early in the planning stage. Some examples of how Basin Planning can alter the minimum requirements are given in Appendix I-A from the SWMMWW. In order for a basin plan to serve as a means of modifying the minimum requirements the following conditions must be met: • The plan must be formally adopted by all jurisdictions with responsibilities under the plan; and • All ordinances or regulations called for by the plan must be in effect; and • The basin plan must be reviewed and approved by Ecology.

Questions? If you have questions, please contact the Ecology employee who manages the permit in the county or counties in which your facility or district is located available at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/municipal/municontacts.html or, call Ecology’s Water Quality Program office at 360-407-6600, and the receptionist will direct you to a staff member who can assist you. Who must apply? Federal and state law requires all operators of regulated MS4s to apply for and obtain coverage under this permit or to be permitted under a separate individual permit, unless it qualifies for a waiver or exemption in accordance with conditions described below (see Who does not need to apply?). 1. A regulated MS4 is a municipal separate storm sewer system that: • Is located within, or partially within, the unincorporated areas of Clark, King, Pierce or Snohomish counties; or • Is located within, or partially within, the cites of Seattle or Tacoma; or • Is located within the other areas defined in the permits. See list of cities and counties in Part 2 of the line-by-line instructions or Ecology’s maps of permit coverage www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/phase_2/maps.html for more information on these locations; or • Is designated by Ecology AND • Discharges stormwater from the MS4 to a water of the United States; and • Is not eligible for an exemption or a waiver. 2. All owners or operators of MS4s that meet the criteria listed above must obtain coverage under this permit. Owners or operators of MS4s may also include, but are not limited to: public flood control districts, public diking, and drainage districts, public schools including universities, and correctional facilities that own or operate an MS4 serving non-agricultural land uses. 3. If Ecology determines the MS4 is a significant source of pollution to surface waters of the state, Ecology may require any other operators of small MS4s to obtain permit coverage. Ecology will notify the affected MS4 that permit coverage is required by issuing an administrative order (see RCW 90.48). Who does not need to apply? If either of the following conditions applies, state and federal laws do not require a MS4 to obtain permit coverage: If the portions of the MS4 located within the census defined urban area(s) that discharge to surface waters serve a total population of less than 1000 people** and all the conditions below apply, then the MS4 qualifies for a waiver and need not apply: • The MS4 is not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of a physically interconnected MS4 that is regulated by the NPDES stormwater program. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit August 1, 2013 Appendix 5 - Notice of Intent for Coverage Page 2 of 6 • The discharge of pollutants from the MS4 has not been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body to which the MS4 discharges. • In areas where an EPA approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), or water quality improvement plan for impaired waters, has been completed, stormwater controls on the MS4 have not been identified as being necessary. **In determining the total population served, cities and counties include resident populations; other public entities include resident and commuter populations as follows: • For publicly operated school complexes including universities and colleges, the total population served includes the sum of the average annual student enrollment plus staff. • For flood control, diking, and drainage districts, the total population served includes residential population and any non-residents regularly employed in the areas served by the MS4. Exempt MS4s are those owned or operated by: • A federal entity, including any department, agency or instrumentality of the executive, legislative, and judicial branch of the Federal government of the United States; or • Federally recognized Indian Tribes located within Indian Country, including all trust or restricted lands within the 1873 Survey Area of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Federal and tribal MS4s are not covered under this permit but may need coverage under a permit issued by the USEPA. When to apply Submit the NOI to the Department of Ecology on or before the date of the first public notice required in part 7 of this NOI. Ecology must have the permit application during the public comment period required by this NOI in order to provide the public access to the applications as required by state law (WAC 173-226-130(5)). Ecology cannot grant permit coverage until 31 days after the date of the second public notice. Upon receipt of a complete NOI, Ecology will notify the applicant by mail of confirmation of coverage under the permit. An NOI is deemed complete only after the 30-day public comment period and all other requested information has been supplied.

Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 6 – Street Waste Disposal Page 1 of 2 APPENDIX 6 – Street Waste Disposal Street Waste Liquids General Procedures: Street waste collection should emphasize retention of solids in preference to liquids. Street waste solids are the principal objective in street waste collection and are substantially easier to store and treat than liquids. Street waste liquids require treatment before their discharge. Street waste liquids usually contain high amounts of suspended and total solids and adsorbed metals. Treatment requirements depend on the discharge location. Discharges to sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems must be approved by the entity responsible for operation and maintenance of the system. Ecology will not generally require waste discharge permits for discharge of stormwater decant to sanitary sewers or to stormwater treatment BMPs constructed and maintained in accordance with Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. The following order of preference, for disposal of catch basin decant liquid and water removed from stormwater treatment facilities, is required. 1. Discharge of catch basin decant liquids to a municipal sanitary sewer connected to a Public Owned Treatment Works (POTW) is the preferred disposal option. Discharge to a municipal sanitary sewer requires the approval of the sewer authority. Approvals for discharge to a POTW will likely contain pretreatment, quantity and location conditions to protect the POTW. 2. Discharge of catch basin decant liquids may be allowed into a Basic or Enhanced Stormwater Treatment BMP, if option 1 is not available. Decant liquid collected from cleaning catch basins and stormwater treatment wet vaults may be discharged back into the storm sewer system under the following conditions: • The preferred disposal option of discharge to sanitary sewer is not reasonably available, and • The discharge is to a Basic or Enhanced Stormwater Treatment Facility. If pretreatment does not remove visible sheen from oils, the treatment facility must be able to prevent the discharge of oils causing a visible sheen, and • The discharge is as near to the treatment facility as is practical, to minimize contamination or recontamination of the collection system, and • The storm sewer system owner/operator has granted approval and has determined that the stormwater treatment facility will accommodate the increased loading. Pretreatment conditions to protect the stormwater treatment BMP may be issued as part of the approval process. Following local pretreatment conditions is a requirement of this permit. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 6 – Street Waste Disposal Page 2 of 2 • Flocculants for the pretreatment of catch basin decant liquids must be non-toxic under the circumstances of use and must be approved in advance by the Department of Ecology. The reasonable availability of sanitary sewer discharge will be determined by the Permittee, by evaluating such factors as distance, time of travel, load restrictions, and capacity of the stormwater treatment facility. 3. Water removed from stormwater ponds, vaults and oversized catch basins may be returned to the storm sewer system. Stormwater ponds, vaults and oversized catch basins contain substantial amounts of liquid, which hampers the collection of solids and pose problems if the removed waste must be hauled away from the site. Water removed from these facilities may be discharged back into the pond, vault or catch basin provided: • Clear water removed from a stormwater treatment structure may be discharged directly to a down gradient cell of a treatment pond or into the storm sewer system. • Turbid water may be discharged back into the structure it was removed from if − the removed water has been stored in a clean container (eductor truck, Baker tank or other appropriate container used specifically for handling stormwater or clean water); and − there will be no discharge from the treatment structure for at least 24 hours. • The discharge must be approved by the storm sewer system owner/operator. Street Waste Solids Soils generated from maintenance of the MS4 may be reclaimed, recycled or reused when allowed by local codes and ordinances. Soils that are identified as contaminated pursuant to Chapter 173-350 WAC shall be disposed at a qualified solid waste disposal facility. Western Washington Phase II Stormwater Permit August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 7- Determining Sediment Damage Potential Page 1 of 3 APPENDIX 7 – Determining Construction Site Sediment Damage Potential The following rating system allows objective evaluation of a particular development site’s potential to discharge sediment. Permittees may use the rating system below or develop alternative process designed to identify site-specific features which indicate that the site must be inspected prior to clearing and construction. Any alternative evaluation process must be documented and provide for equivalent environmental review. Step one is to determine if there is a sediment/erosion sensitive feature downstream of the development site. If there is such a site downstream complete step two, assessment of hydraulic nearness. If there is a sediment/erosion sensitive feature and it is hydraulically near the site then go to step three to determine the construction site sediment transport potential. STEP 1 – Sediment/Erosion Sensitive Feature Identification Sediment/erosion sensitive features are areas subject to significant degradation due to the effect of sediment deposition or erosion. Special protection must be provided to protect them. Sediment/erosion sensitive features include but are not limited to: i. Salmonid bearing fresh water streams and their tributaries or freshwater streams that would be Salmonid bearing if not for anthropogenic barriers; ii. Lakes; iii. Category I, II, and III wetlands; iv. Marine near-shore habitat; v. Sites containing contaminated soils where erosion could cause dispersal of contaminants; and vi. Steep slopes (25% or greater) associated with one of the above features. Identify any sediment/erosion sensitive features, and proceed to step two. If there are none the assessment is complete. STEP 2 – Hydraulic Nearness Assessment Sites are hydraulically near a feature if the pollutant load and peak quantity of runoff from the site will not be naturally attenuated before entering the feature. The conditions that render a site hydraulically near to a feature include, but are not limited to, the following: i. The feature or a buffer to protect the feature is within 200 feet downstream of the site. ii. Runoff from the site is tight-lined to the feature or flows to the feature through a channel or ditch. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 7- Determining Sediment Damage Potential Page 2 of 3 A site is not hydraulically near a feature if one of the following takes place to provide attenuation before runoff from the site enters the feature: i. Sheet flow through a vegetated area with dense ground cover ii. Flow through a wetland not included as a sensitive feature iii. Flow through a significant shallow or adverse slope, not in a conveyance channel, between the site and the sensitive feature. Identify any of the sediment/erosion sensitive features from step one that are hydraulically near the site, and proceed to step three. If none of the sediment/erosion sensitive features are hydraulically near the site, the assessment is complete. STEP 3 – Construction Site Sediment Transport Potential Using the worksheet below, determine the total points for each development site. Assign points based on the most critical condition that affects 10% or more of the site. If soil testing has been performed on site, the results should be used to determine the predominant soil type on the site. Otherwise, soil information should be obtained from the county soil survey to determine Hydrologic Soil Group (Table of Engineering Index Properties for step 1.D) and Erosion Potential (Table of Water Features for step 1.E) When using the county soil survey, the dominant soil type may be in question, particularly when the site falls on a boundary between two soil types or when one of two soil types may be present on a site. In this case, the soil type resulting in the most points on the rating system will be assumed unless site soil tests indicate that another soil type dominates the site. Use the point score from Step 3 to determine whether the development site has a high potential for sediment transport off of the site. Total Score Transport Rating <100 Low ≥100 High A high transport rating indicates a higher risk that the site will generate sediment contaminated runoff.

Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit _____________________________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Page 1 of 14 APPENDIX 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring This Appendix applies to Permittees with stormwater discharge monitoring requirements pursuant to Special Condition S8 Monitoring and Assessment, particularly sections S8.B.2, for Clark County, and S8.C.2, if a Permittee chooses not to participate in the Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program (RSMP) by paying into a collective fund to implement RSMP effectiveness studies. Stormwater discharge monitoring is intended to characterize stormwater runoff quantity and quality at a limited number of locations in a manner that allows analysis of loadings and changes in conditions over time and generalization across the Permittee’s jurisdiction. QAPP Preparation Permittees shall prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) in accordance with Quality Assurance Project Plan Guidance, Special Condition S8.D, Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit, December 2010 (Ecology Publication no. 10-10-075 http://www.ecy.wa.gov/pubs/1010075.pdf). The QAPP shall be developed by qualified staff or contractors with experience in applying Ecology or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) QAPP Guidelines. A stormwater discharge monitoring QAPP shall be submitted to Ecology in accordance with the deadlines in S8. The QAPP shall describe field collection methods and sample preparation methods appropriate to each group of analytes, reporting limits, and field conditions. Permittees are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date approved QAPP for stormwater discharge monitoring. Significant changes shall be reviewed by Ecology and reflected in a revised QAPP. Significant changes include, but are not limited to: • Land disturbing activities over 10 acres in size within the sampled drainage area. • Relocating a monitoring station. • Introducing new sampling equipment. • Unanticipated back water conditions, base flow, or tidal influences. • Changes in laboratories, analytical methods, or reporting limits. Discharge Monitoring Location Selection Stormwater monitoring discharge monitoring locations shall have mapped tributary conveyance systems and drainage areas, and be suitable for permanent installation and operation of flow- weighted composite sampling equipment. Additional monitoring location selection guidance and information about how to estimate a rainfall to runoff relationship is available in Standard Operating Procedure for Automatic Sampling for Stormwater Monitoring, ECY002 from the Ecology Quality Assurance Page (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/quality.html; specific guidance for automatic sampling is available at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/qa/Agency/ECY_WQ_SOP_AutomatedSampling_v1_0E CY002.pdf). Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit _____________________________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Page 2 of 14 Permittees may identify a discharge monitoring location upstream in the conveyance system (i.e., upgradient of the outfall) in order to achieve the desired land use, to accommodate the installation of sampling equipment, and/or to avoid or minimize back water or tidal interference. The QAPP shall describe each stormwater discharge monitoring location and associated drainage basin in detail. The QAPP must describe how each discharge monitoring location was selected, the size of the drainage basin, and the percentage of area in the drainage basin representing the following land uses: high density residential, low density residential, commercial, industrial, agriculture, and transportation right-of-way. Table A9-1 below provides characteristics to consider for some of these land uses. However, density definitions can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be defined locally in codes and comprehensive plans. Report the residential density definitions used if they differ from these. Table A9-1 Land Use Selection Characteristics Land use category Characteristics High density residential 4 dwelling units per acre or greater Medium to high density residential 2 to 4 dwelling units per acre Low density residential 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre Commercial Includes multi-family residential Industrial Not predominated by one facility with a few operators Flow Monitoring Discharge monitoring locations must be evaluated for a rainfall to runoff relationship in order to ensure that the discharge monitoring location will receive enough runoff for sufficient sample volume. This rainfall to runoff relationship will also assist in programming the automatic sampling equipment. In order to establish the rainfall to runoff relationship, one year of continuous flow recording (including base flow and all storm events) is necessary. Monitoring Frequency Permittees shall sample each stormwater discharge monitoring location according to the frequency described below. Documented good faith efforts with good professional practice by the Permittee which do not result in collecting a successful sample for the full number of required storms may be considered as contributing toward compliance with this requirement. For each location, the Permittee shall sample and analyze a minimum of eleven (11) qualifying storm events per water year. Qualifying storm event sampling must be distributed throughout the year, approximately reflecting the distribution of rainfall between the wet and dry seasons (with a goal of 60-80% of the samples collected during the wet season and a goal of 20-40% of the samples collected in the dry season). Ecology may approve a reduced sampling frequency if the Permittee provides a statistical analysis demonstrating that monitoring goals can be met with fewer samples. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit _____________________________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Page 3 of 14 Qualifying Storm Event Criteria The wet season is from October 1 through April 30. A qualifying wet season storm event is defined as follows: • Rainfall volume: 0.20” minimum, no fixed maximum • Rainfall duration: No fixed minimum or maximum • Antecedent dry period: Less than or equal to 0.05” rain in the previous 24 hours • Inter-event dry period: 6 hours The dry season is from May 1 through September 30. A qualifying dry season storm event is defined as follows: • Rainfall volume: 0.20” minimum, no fixed maximum • Rainfall duration: No fixed minimum or maximum • Antecedent dry period: less than or equal to 0.02” rain in the previous 48 hours • Inter-event dry period: 6 hours Types of Sampling Storm events shall be sampled using flow-weighted composite sampling techniques. Automatic samplers shall be programmed to begin sampling as early in the runoff event as practical and to continue sampling past the longest estimated time of concentration for the tributary area. Refer to Standard Operating Procedure for Automatic Sampling for Stormwater Monitoring, ECY002 (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/quality.html) for guidance on how to conduct flow weighted composite sampling. For storm events lasting less than 24 hours, samples shall be collected for at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the storm event hydrograph. For storm events lasting longer than 24 hours, samples shall be collected for at least seventy-five percent 75% of the hydrograph of the first 24 hours of the storm. Each composite sample shall be targeted to contain at least 10 aliquots. Composite samples with 7 to 9 aliquots are acceptable if they meet the other sampling criteria and help achieve a representative balance of wet season/dry season events and storm sizes. Continuous flow recording of all storm events (not just sampled storm events) is necessary for at least one complete water year to establish a baseline rainfall/runoff relationship. Ongoing continuous flow monitoring is required for each of the sampled storm events as necessary to properly conduct the flow-weighted composite sampling. Precipitation data shall be collected from the nearest rain gauge reporting at least hourly rainfall amounts. Grab samples are necessary for some parameters (see below) and shall be collected early in the storm event. Refer to Standard Operating Procedure for Grab Sampling for Stormwater Monitoring, ECY001 (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/quality.html). Use of in-line sediment traps or similar collection system is preferred for sediment samples; refer to Standard Operating Procedure for Collection of Stormwater Sediments using In-Line Sediment Traps, ECY003 (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/quality.html).

Any alternative method proposed by a Permittee must have a similar reporting limit, or must be justified as adequate for the likely, expected range of concentrations. Permittees are not guaranteed approval of alternative methods or reporting limits. In cases where smaller volumes of water are expected to be collected, or to save analytical costs, Permittees may propose that some of the analyses be optimized for specific parameters or groups. The Permittee must, in consultation with a qualified chemist, define the exact volumes and optimization steps and include them in the QAPP.

If organic compounds are being collected, the sample containers should be glass or Teflon. Preservation/Holding Time Samples should be stored at 4o C and must be analyzed within 7 days (EPA, 1998). Samples may not be frozen or dried prior to analysis, as either process may change the particle size distribution. Sonication Do not sonicate samples prior to analysis to preserve particle integrity and representativeness. Laboratories using laser diffraction will have to be notified not to sonicate these samples at any time during the analysis. It is recommended that this request also be written on the chain-of- custody form that the analytical laboratory receives in order to assure that sonication is omitted. LABORATORY PROCEDURES Equipment __ 2 Liters of stormwater sample water (total sample required for analysis (ASTM D 3977)) __ Drying oven (90 degrees C +2 degrees) __ Analytical balance (0.01 mg accuracy) __ Desiccator (large enough diameter to accommodate sieve) __ Standard sieves - larger than 2" diameter may be desirable __ 500 um (Tyler 32, US Standard 35) __ 250 um (Tyler 60, US Standard 60) __ Beakers - plastic (HDPE) __ Funnel (HDPE - Large enough diameter to accommodate sieve) __ Wash bottle __ Pre-measured reagent-grade water Sample Processing • Dry 250 um and 500 um mesh sieves in a drying oven to a constant weight at 90 ± 2° C. • Cool the sieves to room temperature in a desiccator. • Weigh each sieve to the nearest 0.01 mg. • Record the initial weight of each dry sieve. • Measure the volume of sample water and record. • Pour the sample through a nested sieve stack (the 500 um sieve should be on the top and the sieve stack should be stabilized in a funnel and the funnel should be resting above/inside a collection beaker). • Use some of the pre-measured reagent-grade water in wash bottle to thoroughly rinse all soil particles from sample container so that all soil particles are rinsed through the sieve. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit _____________________________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Page 13 of 14 • Thoroughly rinse the soil particles in the sieve using a pre-measured volume of reagent-grade water. • The particles that pass through the sieve stack will be analyzed by laser diffraction Particle Size Distribution (PSD) analysis using the manufacturers recommended protocols (with the exception of no sonication). • Particles retained on the sieve (>250 um) will not be analyzed with the laser diffraction PSD. • Dry each sieve (500 um and 250 um) with the material it retained in a drying oven to a constant weight at 90 ± 2° C. The drying temperature should be less than 100° C to prevent boiling and potential loss of sample (PSEP, 1986). • Cool the samples to room temperature in a desiccator. • Weigh the cooled sample with each sieve to the nearest 0.01 mg. • Subtract initial dry weight of each sieve from final dry weight of the sample and sieve together. • Record weight of particles/debris separately for each size fraction (> 500 um and 499 - 250 um). • Document the dominant types of particles/debris found in this each size fraction. Laser Diffraction (PSD) PSD results are reported in ml/L for each particle size range. Particle size gradations should match the Wentworth grade scale (Wentworth, 1922). Mass Measurement Equipment __ Glass filter - 0.45 um (pore size) glass fiber filter disk (Standard Method D 3977) (larger diameter sized filter is preferable) __ Drying oven (90 degrees C +2 degrees) __ Analytical balance (0.01 mg accuracy) __ Wash bottle __ Reagent-grade water Procedure • Dry glass filter in drying oven at 90 ± 2° C to a constant weight. • Cool the glass filter to room temperature in a desiccator. • Weigh the 0.45 um glass filter to the nearest 0.01mg. • Record the initial weight of the glass filter. • Slowly pour the laser diffraction sample water (after analysis) through the previously weighed 0.45 um glass filter and discard the water. • Use reagent-grade water in wash bottle to rinse particles adhering to the analysis container onto glass filter • Dry glass filter with particles in a drying oven at 90 ± 2° C to a constant weight. • Cool the glass filter and dried particles to room temperature in a desiccator. • Weigh the glass filter and particles to the nearest 0.01mg. • Subtract the initial glass filter weight from the final glass filter and particle sample weight. • Record the final sample weight for particles <250 um in size. Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit _____________________________________________________________________________________________ August 1, 2013 Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 9 – Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Page 14 of 14 Quality Assurance Dried samples should be cooled in a desiccator and held there until they are weighed. If a desiccator is not used, the particles will accumulate ambient moisture and the sample weight will be overestimated. A color-indicating desiccant is recommended so that spent desiccant can be detected easily. Also, the seal on the desiccator should be checked periodically, and, if necessary, the ground glass rims should be greased or the "O" rings should be replaced. Handle sieves with clean gloves to avoid adding oils or other products that could increase the weight. The weighing room should not have fluctuating temperatures or changing humidity. Any conditions that could affect results such as doors opening and closing should be minimized as much as possible. After the initial weight of the sieve is measured, the sieve should be kept covered and dust free. Duplicate samples should be analyzed on 10% of the samples for both wet sieving and mass measurements. Reporting Visual observations should be made on all wet sieved fractions and recorded. For example if the very coarse sand fraction (2,000-1,000 um) is composed primarily of beauty bark, or cigarette butts, or other organic debris this should be noted. An option might also be for a professional geologist to record the geological composition of the sediment as well. REFERENCES ASTM. 1997.

The new Permit became effective August 1, 2013, through July 31, 2018. The City of Auburn (City) will be required to pursue updates to the Auburn City Code (ACC) and to City stormwater standards based on the requirements of this new NPDES Permit. Maintaining compliance is important for the City for the following reasons:  Requirements of the Permit are intended to result in more “fishable, swimmable waters.”  Ecology has the power to levy fines or impose criminal penalties for noncompliance.  Grant funds may be affected by noncompliance.  Noncompliance with the Permit and the Clean Water Act can expose the City to third-party litigation. Some of the most significant changes to the Permit include:  Requirements to evaluate City codes, standards, and policies and to incorporate low-impact development (LID) principles, making LID the preferred way of managing stormwater runoff from future development and redevelopment  Revised stormwater facility requirements for new development and redevelopment, which are more intensive and will affect more projects, including single-family dwellings  Requirements for new and more frequent inspections of permanent stormwater infrastructure, including small LID facilities to be constructed on virtually all private property over time  Requirement to pay for participation in Ecology water quality monitoring programs, or to conduct equivalent programs independently The updated Permit requirements may affect the City in a number of ways, including potential impacts to:  City codes, standards, policies, and requirements, affecting both public and private activities. Potentially impacted codes include ACC 13.48 and other development-related sections. The degree of impact in other areas of the ACC (e.g., development regulation, transportation, zoning, etc.) will be related to the outcome of the City’s LID principles review process. Updates to City standards and guidance documents will also be required, including the City Surface Water Management Manual (SWMM) and Engineering Design Standards. The new Permit requirements may also create potential policy and public-relations issues related to access of private property for City-conducted inspections and enforcement actions.  Staff effort for ongoing Permit compliance activities, including efforts to conduct the required LID evaluation process; develop, adopt, and enforce code, standard, and policy updates; and conduct new and more frequent inspections. Annual effort for City inspectors will increase over time as more facilities are constructed, each of which must then be inspected in perpetuity.  City expense for potential additional staffing needs, capital improvement projects, and payments for monitoring program participation. Staffing needs may increase as a result of increased compliance efforts and field inspection requirements. Additional capital improvement project funding may be required to incorporate required stormwater facilities into future City capital improvement projects. Stormwater monitoring program participation includes annual payments of approximately $48,000 from the City to Ecology.

The City is actively planning and preparing to comply with the updated Permit requirements, including development of this Compliance Work Plan for compliance activities. The City will continue this Permit compliance preparation with reviews of codes, policies, and standards, and will begin to implement new requirements, including making the first annual payment to participate in Ecology’s monitoring programs. Over the 5-year term of the Permit, the City will conduct a variety of activities to update City codes, standards, and policies, and to carry out this Compliance Work Plan consistent with regulatory schedule deadlines. Activities involving significant resource allocation will include:  Conducting a process to review and incorporate LID principles into City codes, standards, and policies  Developing and adopting updates to codes and other City documents, including the City Comprehensive Plan  Developing and adopting updates to the Surface Water Management Manual (SWMM), or adopting an alternative manual  Communicating new development requirements to the building industry and the public, and enforcing new requirements  Funding construction of new stormwater facilities associated with City capital improvements and providing for long-term maintenance of those facilities and other facilities accepted for maintenance by the City  Developing and implementing updates to the City’s Public Education and Outreach, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) programs  Scheduling and conducting new and more frequent inspections of permanent stormwater infrastructure, or providing Ecology with justification for less frequent inspections  Making annual payments to participate in the Ecology monitoring program  Compliance with total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements 1-1 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview and Background The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the federal Clean Water Act that is intended to protect and restore waters for “fishable, swimmable” uses. The City of Auburn (City) is one of more than a hundred jurisdictions in Washington that has obtained, and is currently in compliance with, a municipal stormwater discharge permit for “small” municipalities (i.e., under 100,000 in population according to the 1990 census). This group of permittees is considered to have “Phase II Permits,” with larger municipalities regulated by “Phase I Permits.” These permits allow municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the state’s water bodies (i.e., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, etc.) as long as the municipalities have programs that protect or minimize impacts to water quality as required by the Permit conditions. Compliance deadlines for implementation of the Permit conditions are phased in over the 5-year Permit term. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), as the delegated authority by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is to revise and reissue these permits every 5 years. On August 1, 2012, Ecology reissued the NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit), effective August 1, 2013, through July 31, 2018. As a Phase II Permittee, the City will be required to pursue updates to the Auburn City Code (ACC) and stormwater standards based on the requirements of this new NPDES Permit. The purpose of this Compliance Work Plan is to identify and make recommendations regarding the key changes and activities that should take place over the next 5 years for the City to comply with the updated Permit requirements. This identification includes:  Required compliance schedule deadlines  Recommended updates and activities, organized by applicable Permit section  Interim deadlines and activities for completing groups of similar tasks Refer to the Phase II Gap Analysis Technical Memorandum, dated February 28, 2014, for details of the Permit requirements and identification of potential Permit compliance gaps in City codes, standards, and policies. 1.2 Schedule for Permit Compliance A number of due dates for City Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) activities are included in the updated Permit. Key Permit requirement due dates are summarized in Table 1-1. Section 1 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan 1-2 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx Table 1-1. Summary Compliance Schedule Compliance activity Due date Continue annual inspections of any onsite stormwater facilities approved by the City for construction under the terms of the 2007–12 Permit or subsequent Permits. Ongoing Communicate to Ecology whether the City will participate in the collective fund for Monitoring and Assessment, or conduct stormwater monitoring activities independently. December 1, 2013 (completed) Post SWMP documents to Web site annually. May 31 annually, starting 2014 (completed & ongoing) Review and update interdepartmental coordination mechanisms, if needed. March 31, 2015 (completed) Update public outreach and education materials. August 1, 2015 Measure effectiveness of public outreach for at least one target audience and subject area (may be as part of a regional effort). February 2, 2016 Review and update City operations, maintenance, and inspection standards, if needed. December 31, 2016 Adopt a new stormwater management manual: either the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (Ecology Manual) or an approved equivalent. December 31, 2016 Review, revise, and adopt local development codes, standards, and policies to require low-impact development (LID) principles and LID best management practices (BMPs), and to reflect deletion of the less than 1-acre onsite stormwater facilities requirement exemption. The Permit requires a specific process to be followed in considering revisions. This revision process may involve revisions to a variety of potentially affected ACC sections. December 31, 2016 Compile and submit a summary of the LID review and revision process. March 31, 2017 Complete one inspection of each catch basin, including documentation and reporting. August 1, 2017, and at least every 2 years thereafter Complete field screening for 40% of the system by 2018, and 12% annually thereafter. December 31, 2017, annually thereafter Revise codes to reflect Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) changes in the Permit. February 2, 2018 1.3 Key Policy Issues Over the 5-year Permit term, Auburn will need to address several significant policy issues affecting multiple departments. The major policy issues associated with the updated Permit generally align with the following categories:  Low-impact development (LID) principles assessment, policy development, implementation, and reporting  LID infeasibility criteria and competing needs  Updates to the City Surface Water Management Manual (SWMM) or adoption of alternative manual  Code revisions  LID facility inspections  Additional City effort and costs Major policy issues are described in the following sections. Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan Section 1 1-3 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx 1.3.1 LID Principles The revised Permit requires that development-related codes, standards, and enforcement be revised to implement LID principles, including minimizing impervious surfaces, native vegetation loss, and stormwater runoff. The requirement to minimize impervious areas poses regulatory challenges and may have significant policy implications for Permittee interests outside of stormwater management. Examples of potential policy conflicts might include preserving areas of existing vegetation and reducing impervious surface areas vs. meeting parking requirements or roadway width standards. The City will need to complete an assessment of LID principles related to various City codes, develop policies for LID implementation, and report on the process to Ecology. The Puget Sound Partnership’s Integrating LID into Local Codes: A Guidebook for Local Governments is a reference guidebook intended by Ecology to be used in this policy development process. 1.3.2 LID Infeasibility Criteria and Competing Needs The revised Permit allows local programs to identify LID infeasibility and competing needs criteria. These could include infeasibility criteria for considerations like critical areas (e.g., steep slopes, slide-prone areas, protected aquifers, and floodplains) or areas otherwise unsuitable for infiltration (e.g., areas with seasonally high groundwater or low soil permeability). They could also include potentially conflicting regulations (e.g., Growth Management Act [GMA] requirements), or local requirements (e.g., transportation or community planning considerations). It may be that infeasibility and competing needs criteria can give local jurisdictions more flexibility; however, the criteria may also require additional updates to the ACC and City policies. This issue may have significant policy implications for Permittee interests outside of stormwater management. 1.3.3 Manual Adoption Another key policy decision relates to adoption of a new manual for management of stormwater from construction and new development and redevelopment sites. The Permit requires each Permittee to adopt the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (Ecology Manual) or an equivalent manual approved by Ecology. The City has several options related to adoption of a stormwater manual. During the previous Permit cycle, the City developed the City-specific SWMM, based on the 2008 City of Tacoma manual. In order to comply with updated Permit requirements, the City can choose one of three options:  Update the Auburn SWMM  Adopt the Ecology Manual  Adopt another Phase I jurisdiction’s equivalent manual (no local jurisdiction manuals are currently approved as equivalent by Ecology, but achieving equivalency by at least some of the Phase I Permittees is likely) 1.3.4 Code Revisions City codes will require an update to comply with the new Permit requirements. The following major changes will be required:  Updates to Chapter 13.48 (Storm Drainage Utility) and related sections to reflect updated definitions and requirements for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), development activities, and LID  Other updates to various City codes as identified during the LID Principles assessment process Section 1 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan 1-4 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx 1.3.5 LID Facility Inspections The previous Permit included requirements to conduct annual inspections for all permanent stormwater best management practices (BMPs)/facilities permitted in accordance with the requirements of this Permit. The requirements for inspections now include LID and facilities constructed on private property. With the deletion of the 1-acre threshold exemption, this requirement takes on new significance. With new development and redevelopment, virtually all properties will have the potential to have an inspection requirement over time. The scale of required inspections and the requirement to inspect on private property may pose challenges. Increased presence of inspectors on private property and increased costs associated with inspections represent policy issues that City officials may want to consider (e.g., options to fund inspections, perceptions of increasing City authority, etc.). 1.3.6 Additional City Effort and Costs The Permit will require additional activities that will grow over the 5-year Permit term. The City must decide how to staff and fund the required new activities. See Attachment B for a preliminary estimate of City effort and costs to comply with new Permit requirements. 1.4 Document Organization The remainder of this Compliance Work Plan is organized similarly to the Permit:  Section 2 addresses compliance with the Permit requirements for administration of the City’s Stormwater Management Program  Section 3 presents a compliance work plan for Public Education and Outreach  Section 4 presents a compliance work plan for Public Involvement and Participation  Section 5 presents a compliance work plan for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination  Section 6 presents a compliance work plan for Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites  Section 7 presents a compliance work plan for Municipal Operations and Maintenance  Section 8 presents a compliance work plan for TMDL requirements  Section 9 presents a compliance work plan for Monitoring and Assessment  A ttachment A includes a schedule of due dates for new requirements  A ttachment B includes a compliance effort estimate developed to help the City identify staffing and funding needs related to new Permit requirements  A ttachment C includes a gap analysis table developed to assess changes in the Permit and corresponding impacts on City codes, standards, and activities Each section includes a summary of new Permit requirements, current compliance activities that are applicable to the new requirements, discussion of policy and compliance strategy issues (if applicable), and recommended actions to maintain future compliance.

With LID now generally required, credits may no longer be appropriate. Numerous revisions are identified throughout Chapter 13.48. 13.48.010: Permit included updates to definitions of illicit connection, illicit discharge, hard and impervious surfaces, and other terms. Consider matching Permit language. Update SWMM reference. 13.48.100.G: Equivalent service units are currently determined based on impervious surface area. With the Permit now focused on “hard surfaces,” consider updating the City’s approach for consistency. Could impact rate ordinance. Optional and potentially low priority. 13.48.180.A: Inspection access language appears adequate. 13.48.180.B: Review to confirm that this language is adequate to enforce O&M of private stormwater facilities. 13.48.180.D: Code identifies 50% buildout; the Permit now specifies 90%. Update accordingly. 13.48.210.A: Review and consider matching updated language in Permit related to illicit discharges. 13.48.225: See following: • MR 2: Add new element “Protect Low Impact Development BMPs”. • MR 5: Make significant revisions in accordance with Permit LID changes. • MR 6 an 7: Code language is adequate, but changes in SWMM will be required (e.g., thresholds in terms of hard surface area, Basic and Enhanced Treatment requirements). • MR 8: Wetlands guidance in Ecology Manual changed significantly (Guide Sheets 1–3, Appendix I-D). Review further to confirm adequacy of ACC language 13.48.230.B: Update thresholds from impervious to hard surfaces. 13.48.435: Consider whether modified requirements for single- family home/small LID facilities are needed. Title 14 Project Review All This title was reviewed because of its relationship to the project review and approval process. The title generally outlines how projects must be reviewed consistent with specific requirements found in other sections. No changes appear necessary. Title 15 Buildings and Construction Chapter 15.07 Construction Administration Code Chapter 15.68 Flood Hazard Areas These sections were reviewed because of their relationship to development and construction. 15.07.090: No changes appear necessary. 15.68: Permit changes (in particular LID principles) have the potential to impact or be impacted by flood zone-related code. The sections appear to be general enough to avoid revision but their content should be reviewed to ensure that it aligns with the City’s desired approach to LID.

Recommended City Code and Document Updates (Development-Related) City document Sections/descriptions Comments Title 16 Environment Chapter 16.10 Critical Areas These sections were reviewed because the Permit changes (in particular LID principles) have the potential to impact code related to critical areas. As part of the process for determining the City’s approach to LID implementation, consider how LID policies will relate to critical areas, critical areas mapping, buffers and setbacks, and other considerations. Title 17 Land Adjustments and Divisions All This title was reviewed because of its relationship to land use and development. The title is not impacted by the technical changes to the Permit, but may be impacted in various sections by the LID principles requirement, consistent with the LID approach to be determined by the City. LID principles-related updates could represent a major work effort. Title 18 Zoning All This title was reviewed because of its relationship to land use and development. The title is not impacted by the technical changes to the Permit, but may be impacted in various sections by the LID principles requirement, consistent with the LID approach to be determined by the City. LID principles-related updates could represent a major work effort. Potential issues to consider include: • Landscaping requirements and native vegetation preservation • Impervious surface limitations/standards • Roads and parking standards • Site plan review criteria City of Auburn documents Surface Water Management Manual (SWMM) The City developed and uses the SWMM as its primary mechanism for implementing state stormwater regulations related to new development and redevelopment The SWMM was developed as an equivalent to the Ecology Manual during the previous Permit cycle. Updates to the Permit and the Ecology Manual will trigger corresponding updates in the SWMM in order to maintain equivalency. This includes changes to the Minimum Requirements, BMPs (for construction, source control, and facilities), and design guidance and practices documented in the SWMM. Because the SWMM is based on the Tacoma Manual, updates to the SWMM may be able to build on corresponding updates to the Tacoma Manual. Potential updates to the SWMM represent a major effort for City staff. Engineering Design Standards Chapter 1 General Information 1.02 Engineering Handouts 1.03 Deviations from Standards 1.02.1.2 Update the referenced guidance and permitting handouts and create new handouts as necessary. Also see related discussion on Permit Application Checklists below. 1.03 Consider whether updates to the deviation from standards section are needed based on the City’s implementation approach for LID and the associated identification of infeasibility criteria for LID. Chapter 2 Plan Approval Process 2.02 Review and Approval Process Depending on the City’s approach to implementing LID, consider including a submittal requirement related to infiltration testing. This testing may already be adequately covered by existing requirements. Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan Section 6 6-7 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx Table 6-2. Recommended City Code and Document Updates (Development-Related) City document Sections/descriptions Comments Chapter 4 Report Preparation Requirements 4.02 Report Types Depending on the City’s approach to implementing LID, consider expanding on the existing requirement to conduct infiltration testing and report on the results as part of the geotechnical report. An alternative approach for smaller projects needing to implement LID may be desirable (short of a full geotechnical report, perhaps). Chapter 5 TESC, Clearing and Grading 5.02 Land Clearing 5.05 Construction Sequence 5.02 Clearing requirements could be affected by City’s approach to LID and the Permit requirement to minimize native vegetation loss. 5.05 Consider how LID requirements may affect or need to be included in construction sequence requirements. Chapter 6 Storm Drainage This section has been replaced with a reference to the SWMM. No changes necessary. Chapter 10 Streets 10.05 Sidewalks 10.06 Bikeways 10.07 Pavement Design 10.08 Landscaping 10.05–10.07 Consider allowing and including specifications for pervious pavement design if determined to be an acceptable alternative for sidewalk, bikeway, and/or roadway construction. 10.08 Consider how landscaping elements could be integrated with or serve a dual purpose for storm drainage. Updates other than those noted may be needed to align with potential transportation-related strategies as part of the City’s broader LID approach. Chapter 11 Site Design Site design requirements (e.g., zoning, land use) refer to more specific requirements in the ACC. No updates appear necessary. Definitions The City may want to consider updating definitions consistent with relevant Permit definitions. Engineering Construction Standards Special provisions and standard details for construction. This document appears unaffected by Permit updates. The City communicated during workshops the intention to address stormwater BMPs through the SWMM, and not through standard specification and details. Permit Application Checklists and related guidance documents Checklists and guidance materials for City permit applicants: (see City Forms Web site) These documents were reviewed because of their relationship to permits and project review. City forms such as the Residential Permit Submittal Checklist and Commercial Building Permit Checklist will require update to align with the new Permit requirements and the City’s approach to LID.

Recommended City Code and Document Updates (Development-Related) City document Sections/descriptions Comments City Comprehensive Plan The Plan sets future, long-range goals and summarizes major City policies and proposals. This document was reviewed because of its relationship to policy determination and implementation. While most of the plan will be unaffected by Permit changes, updates may be desirable in the following chapters to better align with the new Permit language and the City’s determined LID approach (in particular, potential changes to zoning, land use, or other City policies that may result from requirements to preserve native vegetation and trees and to minimize impervious surfaces): 3. Land Use 5. Capital Facilities 7. Transportation (refers out to a separate Transportation Comprehensive Plan) 9. Environment Broadly, the Permit requires Permittees to minimize impervious surfaces and minimize the loss of native vegetation. The City should consider how those principles can be incorporated into the goals of the Plan. More specifically, several items and sections were flagged during review for additional scrutiny: • Page 3-28: Note indicating elimination of stormwater improvements as incentive for redevelopment may not be consistent with state regulations. • Page 5-10 (CF-42, 43): Review these two policies related to stormwater facilities on private property and regional facilities in light of new focus on LID and distributed stormwater infrastructure. Other policies in this section do not appear to require update, but the City should review to confirm. • Page 9-2 (EN-2): Check whether this reference to the Ecology Manual is intentional, or should be replaced with a reference to the Auburn SWMM. • Page 9-4 (EN-14): Check whether this reference to the Ecology Manual is intentional, or should be replaced with a reference to the Auburn SWMM. • Page 9-22 (EN-124): Consider updating language in light of new LID requirements (no longer only “encouraged”). • Page 15-4: Update the description of the Comprehensive Drainage Plan consistent with the current update in progress. Coordination with the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan update is recommended.

Recommended City Code and Document Updates (Development-Related) City document Sections/descriptions Comments Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan The Plan guides the City’s Stormwater Drainage utility with respect to future activities and improvements for the stormwater drainage system. This document was reviewed because of its relationship to policy determination and implementation. While most of the plan will be unaffected by Permit changes, updates may be desirable throughout the Plan to better align with the new Permit language and the City’s determined LID approach. The following specific areas were flagged for update: • Figure ES-2: Update timeline for Permit compliance • Section 2.2: Describe future updates to City codes and standards • Section 2.3.2: Review and revise NPDES Permit description • Section 3.2: Review how levels of service will be affected by new LID focus and implementation • Sections 4.1.6/4.1.7: Review how these sections related to geology, soils, and groundwater affect or are affected by LID requirements and feasibility criteria • Section 4.1.8.3: Update section on development regulations and drainage design standards • Section 7.3: Update section on NPDES compliance programs, including Figure 7-2 (matches Figure ES-2) Coordination with the City Comprehensive Plan update is recommended (e.g., policies CF-40, EN-12, and EN-17). The Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan should indicate coordination of maintenance activities with a schedule developed to comply with Ecology requirements and asset criticality. Shoreline Master Program The Program provides policies and regulations to govern development and other activities along the City’s shorelines. It includes guidance related to critical areas, buffers, and general stormwater/LID management and goals. Discussion related to stormwater appears to be general and unaffected by the detailed changes to the Permit. To the extent that the City’s LID implementation process (including policies to preserve native vegetation and minimize impervious surfaces) affects critical areas and buffer requirements, updates to those elements could be needed. No immediate changes were identified. Downtown Urban Center Design Standards The Design Standards outline architectural guidelines for downtown development. This includes guidelines for elements like parking spaces and lots, driveways, and pedestrian sidewalks. To the extent that these parking and access elements are affected by potential land use, zoning, and transportation changes made during the City’s LID implementation process, the Design Standards may need to be updated. 7-1 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. 2014 Auburn NPDES Compliance Work Plan.docx Section 7 Municipal Operations and Maintenance This section summarizes new Permit requirements for Municipal Operations and Maintenance, current compliance activities that are applicable to the new requirements, and recommended actions to maintain future compliance. 7.1 New Permit Requirements Section S5.C.5 of the Permit requires the City to:  Update maintenance standards as necessary to meet updated Permit requirements  Inspect all catch basins and inlets owned or operated by the City at least once no later than August 1, 2017, and every 2 years thereafter  Implement practices, policies, and procedures to reduce stormwater impacts associated with runoff from all lands owned or maintained by the Permittee, and road maintenance activities under the functional control of the Permittee (added buildings, parks, open spaces, road rights-of-way, maintenance yards, and stormwater facilities to Permit list of Permittee lands) 7.2 Current Compliance Activities Applicable to New Requirements The City currently has activities and programs that meet many of the requirements of Section S5.C.5 of the Permit. Current activities and programs include the following:  The City operates an O&M program intended to minimize pollutant runoff from municipal operations.  The City conducts and records the inspections and cleaning of City-owned and -permitted stormwater facilities and elements of the collection system (e.g., catch basins, outfalls). 7.3 Recommended Actions to Maintain Future Compliance Auburn has a well-developed municipal stormwater system O&M program to minimize water quality impacts from municipal operations.

Section S7 received minor updates, while Appendix 2 was entirely revised from the prior version. Appendix 2 contains TMDL requirements for specific water bodies and Permittees, including the City of Auburn. The City has required actions identified for the Puyallup Watershed Water Quality Improvement Project, which is a fecal coliform TMDL for portions of the Puyallup River Watershed. The City is specifically required to:  Beginning no later than October 1, 2013, conduct twice monthly wet weather sampling of stormwater discharges to the White River at Auburn Riverside High School to determine if specific discharges from Auburn’s MS4 exceed the water quality criteria for fecal coliform bacteria. o Data shall be collected for one wet season. o Data shall be collected in accordance with an Ecology-approved QAPP. o Data collected since EPA TMDL approval can be used to meet this requirement.  For any of the outfalls monitored above showing discharges that exceed water quality criteria for primary contact recreation: designate those areas discharging via the MS4 of concern as high priority areas for illicit discharge detection and elimination efforts and implement the schedules and activities identified in S5.C.3 of the Western Washington Phase II permit for response to any illicit discharges found beginning no later than August 1, 2014.  Install and maintain pet waste education and collection stations at municipal parks and other Permittee owned and operated lands adjacent to streams. Focus on locations where people commonly walk their dogs. 8.2 Current Compliance Activities Applicable to New Requirements The City has completed required wet weather monitoring of discharges to the White River. The City maintains pet waste education and collection stations at municipal parks and other public lands adjacent to the White River and its tributaries. 8.3 Recommended Actions to Maintain Future Compliance Table 8-1 lists activities and time frames for the City to comply with new Permit conditions related to TMDL compliance.

Kirsten Wood, EIT Reviewed by: Damon Diessner Memorandum 1 Effort Estimate Memo FINAL.docx The Department of Ecology issued an updated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit) on August 1, 2013. As a Phase II Permittee, the City of Auburn (City) must update its codes and policies to comply with the new Permit requirements. The City began this process by completing a gap analysis to identify existing City codes and policies that may be affected by the Permit. Based on discussions with City staff, Brown and Caldwell (BC) estimated the additional efforts required by the City to address potential gaps identified in the gap analysis. Estimated resources are listed in terms of full-time employees (FTE), limited-term employees (LTE), materials and equipment, and fees (all changes relative to the 2013 baseline year). The following additional resource needs have been identified, relative to a 2013 baseline: • Annual fee to participate in Ecology’s monitoring programs is $47,710 USD • In 2014, 1.05 FTEs, 0.7 LTE, and equipment, including 1 stormwater inspector • In 2015, 3.05 FTEs, 1.7 LTEs, and equipment, including 1 stormwater inspector and 2 M&O field staff • In 2016, 3.3 FTEs, 2.55 LTEs, and equipment, including 1 stormwater inspector and 2 M&O field staff • In 2017, 5.65 FTEs, 0 LTEs, and equipment, including 2 stormwater inspectors, 2 M&O field staff, and 1 LID facility inspector • In 2018, 5.9 FTEs, 0 LTEs, and equipment, including 2 stormwater inspectors, 2 M&O field staff, and 1 LID facility inspector Table 1 includes the estimated additional effort, costs, materials and timing for each Permit compliance activity. The numbering in the first column corresponds to the attached schedule table, which includes the estimated additional effort required each year from 2014 to 2018. Table 1. Estimated Resources Required for Compliance Schedule table reference number Description Duration 1.A City permit review staff to update public guidance materials and checklists to align with the new City/NPDES Permit requirements. One-time effort in 2016 once updates to City requirements are clarified, early enough to be able to inform the public in advance of upcoming/new requirements. [0.1 LTE one-time in 2016] 1.B Additional staff effort to conduct permit application reviews. Additional staff effort will be driven by more complex, iterative permitting processes for LID, including site-specific LID feasibility review and determinations. Ongoing effort starting in 2017, potentially ramping up with long term growth and an increase in permit applications. [0.25 FTE ongoing starting in 2017] 2.A Additional staff inspector(s) focused on stormwater elements. The position could require additional and specialized training in stormwater management, water quality, erosion control and LID installation requirements. Ongoing effort starting in 2014. Includes training and coordinating responsibilities among inspector groups for different project types. Additional inspector added in 2017 as new LID requirements become active, potentially continuing to ramp up over time.

Y Note new definition, and how it relates to definition of Hard Surface, Item 84.City currently assesses stormwater ESU's based on total impervious surfaces. As less impervious surface construction and more use of LID is required, the stormwater utility will potentially start seeing a decline in revenue - both from the impact fee collected at the time of site development permit issuance, as well as the bi-monthly utility fee. One approach could be to change the word in code to 'hard surface' instead of impervious, but this issue requires additional City review to confirm.N/ALowLow/ Medium 53 P h a s e I I P e r m i t 7 4 D e f i n i t i o n s D e f i n i t i o n La n d d i s t u r b i n g a c t i v i t y m e a n s a n y a c t i v i t y t h a t r e s u l t s i n a c h a n g e i n t h e e x i s t i n g s o i l c o v e r (b o t h v e g e t a t i v e a n d n o n - v e g e t a t i v e ) a n d / o r t h e e x i s t i n g s o i l t o p o g r a p h y .

NNote new definition, and how it relates to definition of Impervious Surface, Item 52.City currently assesses stormwater ESU's based on total impervious surfaces. As less impervious surface construction and more use of LID is required, the stormwater utility will potentially start seeing a decline in revenue - both from the impact fee collected at the time of site development permit issuance, as well as the bi-monthly utility fee. One approach could be to change the word in code to 'hard surface' instead of impervious, but this issue requires additional City review to confirm.N/ALowLow/ Medium 85 Ph a s e I I P e r m i t Ap p e n d i x 1 32 D e f i n i t i o n s [R e v i s e d d e f i n i t i o n o f i m p e r v i o u s s u r f a c e f r o m " h a r d s u r f a c e a r e a " t o " n o n - v e g e t a t e d s u r f a c e ar e a " ] Re v i s e d d e f i n i t i o n De f i n i t i o n s Y 1 3 . 4 8 . 1 0 0 N o n e NRefer to the definition of Hard Surface, Item 84.N/ALowLow/ Medium Br o w n a n d C a l d w e l l Pa g e 6 o f 1 5 1/17/2014 Au b u r n N P D E S P h a s e I I 2 0 1 3 - 2 0 1 8 G a p A n a l y s i s Att a c h m e n t C NNew It e m EEco l o g y Do c u m e n t PPg S e c t i o n Se c t i o n De s c r i p t i o n Pe r m i t L a n g u a g e Su m m a r y o f R e q u i r e m e n t C h a n g e s To p i c Co d e Ga p ?

Enforce Minimum Requirements.City currently assesses stormwater ESU's based on total impervious surfaces. As less impervious surface construction and more use of LID is required, the stormwater utility will potentially start seeing a decline in revenue - both from the impact fee collected at the time of site development permit issuance, as well as the bi-monthly utility fee. One approach could be to change the word in code to 'hard surface' instead of impervious, but this issue requires additional City review to confirm.N/ALowLow 10 3 Ph a s e I I P e r m i t Ap p e n d i x 1 13 3 . 4 Ad d i t i o n a l Re q u i r e m e n t s f o r Re - d e v e l o p m e n t Pr o j e c t S i t e s [A d d c o n v e r t e d v e g e t a t i o n a r e a s t o s u r f a c e s r e q u i r e d t o m e e t a l l M R s i f a p p l i c a b l e t h r e s h o l d s ar e t r i g g e r e d . ] Ad d s " c o n v e r t e d v e g e t a t i o n " t o P e r m i t la n g u a g e La n g u a g e ch a n g e N N o n e A u b u r n S W M M Y Update SWMM in accordance with Permit changes.Update guidance documents and materials for construction permit applicants.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx Section 1: Introduction As part of the 2015 Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan (Drainage Plan) update, Brown and Caldwell (BC) performed hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analyses for nine problem locations within the City of Auburn’s (City) storm drainage system. These analyses included model development and refinement, model calibra- tion (where possible), and desktop evaluations of drainage problems in areas recently annexed from King County. 1.1 Background The City initiated an extensive drainage system data inventory and H&H modeling effort to support the development of capital improvement projects for the 2009 Comprehensive Stormwater Drainage Plan (2009 Drainage Plan). As a result, fifteen storm drainage system models were created for areas throughout the city. Each model is identified by the lettered subbasin drainage area(s) covered within the model extent. For example, the “GHI model” covers three subbasins: G, H, and I. The City’s data inventory effort has continued since 2009, with dedicated field survey staff collecting drain- age system data across the city on a quarter-section-by-quarter-section basis. The City updates its geograph- ic information system (GIS) data on an ongoing basis based on the survey data. The City has also continued to develop and refine models when needed to support the design of capital improvement projects. During this process, several of the models were converted from MIKE URBAN 1 software to the PCSWMM 2 (version 5.0.022) software to improve modeling efficiency. Additionally, some of the models were refined based on field survey data, system updates, and monitoring data collected in 2010 and 2011. Leading into the Drainage Plan update, the City’s models were in varying states of development, depending on the status of the system inventory and locations of capital improvement projects. 1.2 Purpose and Objectives Based on the problems identified during the early stages of the Drainage Plan update, existing H&H models were refined or new models were developed if there was no existing model. After models were developed, they were calibrated based on available data. The calibrated models were used to perform long term simula- tions, and perform a flow frequency analysis to identify design storms. The models and the identified design storms were used to develop capital improvement projects which addressed the identified problem and met the City’s stormwater Level of Service (LOS) goals. The purpose of this technical memorandum is to docu- ment the modeling efforts performed in support of the Drainage Plan. The objectives achieved are the documentation of: • Model update based on current data sources • Model development and refinement steps 1 MIKE URBAN is a GIS-integrated, modular software program developed by the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) for modeling water distribution and collection systems. The stormwater module is internally powered by the SWMM5 engine, which is public domain software distributed by EPA. Information about MIKE URBAN software can be found at http://www.mikepoweredbydhi.com/products/mike-urban. 2 PCSWMM is a GIS-based hydraulic and hydrologic modeling platform developed by Computational Hydraulics International (CHI). The software fully supports the EPA SWMM5 hydrology and hydraulics engine, thus providing comparable computation between EPA SWMM and PCSWMM models. Information about PCSWMM software can be found at http://www.chiwater.com/Software/PCSWMM/index.asp.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx Section 2: Model Development and Refinement The City developed and prioritized a list of nine known drainage problems, along with potential capital improvement projects to address the known problem, for inclusion in the Drainage Plan. BC performed an H&H analysis of the storm drainage system at each of the nine problem locations. The following sections describe the model development procedures and input parameters used to prepare the models for subse- quent evaluations. Of the nine prioritized drainage problems, two are located in portions of the city where there is minimal piped conveyance (i.e. ditch and culverts) or complex natural drainage networks. Since PCSWMM is not the best tool for analyzing these systems, other modeling tools (WWHM and HEC-RAS) were used to perform H&H analyses. The seven remaining problems were analyzed using PCSWMM. Table 2-1 lists the storm drainage subbasins for which models were used to evaluate problems and develop capital improvement projects. The table also presents unique information for each model including the type of model, infiltration method, design storms events, calibration status, and associated capital improvement projects.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx 2.1 Model Development Existing PCSWMM models were updated with recent data. If there was not an existing model in a problem area, a new model was developed. The steps taken to update models or create new models are described below. 2.1.1 Updating Existing PCSWMM Models GIS data from December 2013 and June 2014 were used to update the PCSWMM files for the BCDF, GHI, and P models. Survey data for quarter-sections 1009 and 1109 collected in November 2014, after the initial data were provided to BC, are included in the BCDF model. The following infrastructure data attributes were checked against the GIS data: • pipe size • pipe invert elevations • pipe material (for estimating pipe roughness) • node (i.e. catch basin or manhole) rim elevation • system connectivity Where the GIS data did not include recent survey information and did not accurately describe the existing system (based on the City’s knowledge of the system), technical reports, record drawings, or construction drawings were used to update the model. Detailed pipe information from a stormwater infrastructure survey performed by Reid Middleton in 2011 were used to update the GHI model. For model hydrology, subcatchment delineations within problem areas were reviewed and revised based on recent GIS data, topographic data (2-foot contour data), and 2012 aerial photography. Total impervious area was estimated with the City’s impervious area coverage included in the December 2013 GIS data. Sub- catchment slope was estimated as the average slope based on a digital elevation model (DEM) or 2-foot contour data. Table 2-2 summarizes the model data sources. Table 2-2.

Model Data Description and Source Data type Description and source Hydraulic model input Conduits (stream, creek, and ditch, pipe and culvert) Primary sources of data were City GIS data, record drawings, construction drawings, or modeling reports. If these sources were not available, conveyance extent was estimated with City 2-foot contour data and aerial photography, and Google aerial and street view photographs. Nodes (manhole, catch basin, and infall) Primary sources of data were City GIS data, record drawings, construction drawings, or modeling reports. If these sources were not available, rim elevations were estimated from City 2-foot contour data and invert elevations were estimated based on connected pipe and node data, as noted in the model. Outfall Primary sources of data were City GIS data. If these sources were not available, rim elevations were estimated from City 2-foot contour data. Storage facility (wetland, detention ponds) City GIS data and 2012 aerial photography, Google street view. Boundary conditions at outfalls Modeled as fixed level based on monitoring data (Mill Creek gauge) or modeled water surface elevations (Green River Hydraulic Modeling and Mapping, BCDF model). b. Sutherland equations are empirically based formulas to estimate effective impervious area from a mapped impervious area value based on observed or assumed surface water connections. 2.1.1.1 Hydrologic Parameters Subcatchment parameters define the hydrologic component of the PCSWMM model. Table 2-3 lists the subcatchment attributes and the values for each PCSWMM model. Where flow monitoring data were availa- ble, calibration was completed by adjusting hydrologic parameters: estimating effective impervious area, reducing subcatchment width, and adjusting soil conductivity parameters (see Section 3 for additional information on calibration procedures).

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx are predominantly D and the Green-Ampt parameters are consistent for all subcatchments within the model. For the BCDF subbasin model, soils consist of hydrologic soil groups A, B and D, and the Green-Ampt parameters are an area-weighted average and vary by subcatchment. Table 2-4.

For the SCS method, CN, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and drying time parameters were assigned to each subcatchment based on the predominant land use type as shown on soil maps developed by King County and Pierce County. Where there were multiple soil types or land use within a subcatchment, an area- weighted average CN was calculated based on the land use assumptions presented in Table 2-5. Table 2-5.

Subcatchments within subbasins were delineated with existing GIS data including 2012 aerial photog- raphy, roadway extents, 2-foot contour data, and drainage network (catch basins, manholes, pipes, ditches, infalls, and outfalls). 2. Existing GIS data were used to determine hydrologic parameters for WWHM: hydrologic soil group, slope, land cover (i.e., lawn, impervious area). Subbasin slope was estimated from the 2-foot contour data. To- tal impervious area was estimated with the City’s impervious area coverage. 2012 aerial photography was used to estimate vegetation. Table 2-2 summarizes the data types. 3. WWHM uses the HSPF hydrology model. HSPF calculates all individual components of the hydrologic cycle including surface runoff, interflow, groundwater, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration. HSPF simu- lates infiltration as a function of soil moisture using a set of regionally calibrated parameters included within WWHM. The following is a general description of steps followed to develop the new HEC-RAS model for the TT subbasin: 1. The extent of existing infrastructure along the flow path affected by, or contributing to, the flooding was estimated with the use of GIS data and aerial photography. The modeled cross-sections were based on King County light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data (King County, 2003). 2. The magnitude and range of flow from Mill Creek backwater flows were not available for use in the HEC- RAS model. Instead, a range of flows typical of the area (1 to 10 cubic feet per second [cfs]) were used to examine the potential for reducing water surface elevations for ditch and culvert capital improvement project design (Brown and Caldwell, 2015). 2.2 Hydraulic Parameters Table 2-7 lists the Manning’s roughness coefficients (n) used for conveyance analysis in the PCSWMM models, and in the flow calculations for pipe sizing related to the WWHM analysis..

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx 2.4.1 Precipitation The PCSWMM models use a volume-based 15-minute time series rainfall record developed by BC for the City of Auburn with a period of record from October 1, 1948, to November 1, 2014. The data set is a composite from three rain gauges – City of Auburn, Sea-Tac International Airport, and King County Lakeland Hills (located in Auburn city limits). The City of Auburn gauge data are used when possible. The City’s gauge has been collecting rainfall data since 1995. However, based on previous modeling efforts and review of the City’s gauge data, it was deemed that data from the Sea-Tac International Airport gauge prior to 2010 should be used. The King County Lakeland Hills data are used when it is known the Sea-Tac gauge data do not reflect the rainfall in Auburn (i.e. during a large event in 2007) and when Auburn gauge data are not available. Table 2-9 lists the sources of data for the precipitation time series used in PCSWMM modeling efforts. The WWHM software contains an embedded precipitation file based on the Sea-Tac gauge from October 1, 1948, to October 1, 2012. This rainfall data was used for the WWHM analysis. Table 2-9.

These models used monthly evaporation values measured in inches per day, which were provided by the City during previous planning efforts. WWHM requires potential evapotranspiration estimates. These values are includ- ed with WWHM. 2.5 Horizontal and Vertical Datum The horizontal and vertical datums of the models are consistent with the City’s GIS datums as follows: • horizontal: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet (GCS_North_American_1983) • vertical: North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) Where necessary, elevations from other sources such as as-built drawings and reports that are based on National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) were converted to NAVD88. A value of 3.53 feet was added to the NGVD29 elevation to convert to NAVD88. This conversion value was estimated using the VERTCON tool provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the following website: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/Vertcon/vertcon.html. The conversion was estimated for latitude 35 degrees, 12 minutes, and 59.69 seconds, and longitude 111 degrees, 40 minutes, and 2.06 seconds.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx Section 3: Model Calibration and Evaluation BC performed calibration on the BCDF and P subbasin models. The BCDF model was calibrated with flow monitoring data and pond level data, while the P subbasin was calibrated with pump station SCADA data. The calibration for these models is described below. The GHI model was calibrated with flow monitoring data prior to the 2009 Drainage Plan and the Drainage Plan Update. Therefore, no calibration was conducted for the GHI model as part of the Drainage Plan Update. There were no observed data for the OO subbasin model. The TT subbasin model was not calibrated because of the complexity of the natural Mill Creek system that impacts the problem area. 3.1 BCDF Model Calibration The BCDF model was calibrated based on flow monitoring data (from end of December 2010 through mid- March 2011) from four locations and pond level data (November and December 2010) from two infiltration ponds. Peak storm events were identified using data from the four flow meters. The largest six peak flows at each meter occurred during the same storm events. Five of the peak storm events were used in model calibration for comparing observed and simulated flows. The sixth event occurred on January 13, 2011, and the peaks flows for this event did not correspond to the precipitation record. According to historical weather data, this event included snowmelt, which is not currently simulated with the model; therefore calibration was completed with the five remaining events. A summary of the storm events is included in Table 3-2. Model calibration goals were to have modeled peak flows, event volumes and maxi- mum depths within 15 percent of the observed data. Peak storm events were also identified for the period when pond level data were available. Seven peak events were identified, based on the maximum pond level. A summary of the storm events is included in Table 3-3. Model calibration goals were to have modeled maximum depths within 15 percent of the ob- served data. 3.1.1 Methodology The model was calibrated using the PCSWMM Sensitivity-based Radio Tuning Calibration (SRTC) tool to vary two hydrologic parameters: percent routed and soil hydraulic conductivity. The percent routed parameter is the percent of impervious area that is not directly connected to the drainage system, but is first routed to the subcatchment pervious area. The percent routed was varied, from the original GIS-estimated impervious area, by a fixed amount for all subcatchments upstream of a meter. Subcatchments upstream of meter (or calibration subbasins) are shown on Figure 3-1. The percent routed was adjusted so the simulated peak flow matched the flow monitoring data. Hydraulic conductivity was adjusted (increased from the soil-based values) to match the recession (i.e. tail end) of the storm hydrograph, which affected the simulated storm event volumes. For some calibration subbasins, the values were increased by a fixed percentage. In other calibration subbasins, the percent change was varied by soil type, based on a visual comparison of the simulated and observed event hydro- graphs. If simulated and observed values were within 15 percent, then the calibration was considered reasonable. Furthermore, visual assessment of the event peak flow, volume and depth was made to qualify the calibra- tion results.

Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the beginning of this document. Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx For unmonitored areas, the lowest percent routed from the calibrated subbasins was applied to all sub- catchments. Applying the lowest percent routed value to unmonitored areas is conservative, as the model produces more runoff for lower values. Hydraulic conductivity was not adjusted for unmonitored areas. These unmonitored areas should be considered uncalibrated. The final calibration parameters are summa- rized in Table 3-1. Table 3-1.

The calibration improved the models ability to estimate flow in the City’s storm drainage system. The models are considered sufficient tools for capital improvement project development in the areas where problems have been identified, and increase confidence in project sizing to meet the City’s LOS. In general, goals were met for some events at some locations, but were not met for all events at all meters. Calibration results for each meter are summarized below.

Calibration at this meter did not meet the goals for depth (for all events) and volume and peak flow for some events. This meter has a large tributary area and calibration could not be improved with the available information. For the Drainage Plan, there were no problem areas in this calibration subbasin, and the calibration was considered adequate.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx 3.2 P Subbasin Model Calibration The P subbasin model was calibrated with anecdotal flooding information and pump run times exported from the SCADA data of the single pump at the W Main Street Pump Station. The anecdotal flooding information includes reports of ponding on private property (because of private conveyance), flooding in the vicinity of the existing pump station prior to its construction, and surcharging in the storm conveyance south of West Main St. Model calibration goals were set as a maximum 15 percent difference between simulated event volumes observed volumes. A comparison of peak flows was not a calibration goal as the observed pump station peaks were limited by the pump capacity, which is not a useful measure of simulated peak flows. The calibration effort focused on adjusting model parameters to match modeled and observed volumes at the pump station, and corroborating observed flooding. A time series representing the observed volume was developed using pump run times from the SCADA data and assuming a pump capacity of 1,200 gallons per minute (gpm). Initial comparisons of observed and simulated volumes indicated the presence of base flow in the system. A 0.5 cfs flow was added to the node immediately upstream of the pump station to represent this base flow contribution from the subbasin. In addition, initial comparisons of model results to anecdotal flooding locations indicated more simulated flooding than observed. The simulated peak flows were adjusted to match the observed flooding by reducing impervious area for the entire subbasin, and adjusting the parame- ters for subcatchments with detention facilities. The P basin contains several large, privately-owned and maintained detention facilities that were not explicitly modeled because the details of their design, construc- tion, and operation/maintenance are unknown. Model parameters for the subcatchments with detention facilities were adjusted in an effort to provide some simulated peak attenuation attributed to the detention facilities. These adjustments included reducing basin width and routing some of the runoff from impervious areas to pervious areas, instead of directly to the outlet. The parameter adjustments made during calibration are described below: 1. Reduce impervious area for all subcatchments. The model was calibrated to observed data by adjusting the effective impervious area, which was estimated using the Sutherland equations and GIS-derived total impervious area. 2. Reduce subcatchment width to account for detention facilities. The model subcatchment width was reduced by estimating the ratio between width and length as 0.417. The ratio was derived from model trial runs to produce sufficient peak flow attenuation to reduce simulated flooding in locations with no reported flooding. 3. Routing runoff from impervious areas to pervious areas to account for detention facilities. For sub- catchment with detention, 100 percent of runoff from the impervious surfaces was routed to pervious surfaces prior to being routed to the subcatchment outlet. Parameter adjustments made during calibration to the area tributary to the pump station, which is about 15 percent of the P basin, were applied basin-wide. While land uses are similar for both the area tributary to the pump station and other portions of the basin, these areas not tributary to the pump station should be considered uncalibrated. 3.2.1 Calibration Results The calibration results are summarized in Table 3-4. All events met the calibration goal, which indicates the calibrated model is effective at matching observations, and is a suitable tool for capital project development. However, the calibrated model constitutes about 15% of the P basin, and the remaining modeled area is Auburn Storm Drainage Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling and Evaluation 18 DRAFT for review purposes only.

The City seeks to manage stormwater runoff within the public right-of-way (ROW) to allow access to and functionality of critical services such as hospitals, fire and police stations, Emergency Operations Center, maintenance and operations, and city hall. The LOS to allow access to and functionality of critical ser- vices translates to limiting surface water flooding that will disrupt the function of critical facilities (i.e., Auburn Storm Drainage Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling and Evaluation 19 DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the beginning of this document. Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx with floodwaters reaching the building structure, damaging the structure, and permitting no in- gress/egress) with an annual chance of occurrence of no greater than 1 percent (i.e., an average recur- rence interval of 100 years). 4. The City seeks to manage stormwater runoff within the public ROW to preserve mobility on major trans- portation routes (i.e., arterial roads) and residential roads. The LOS for preserving mobility on major transportation routes means limiting flooding disruption that inundates city roadways to an impassable level with an annual chance of occurrence of no greater than 4 percent (i.e., an average recurrence in- terval of 25 years). 5. The City seeks to manage stormwater runoff from the public ROW to protect real property structures (e.g., residences and businesses). The LOS for protecting real property structures means limiting flooding (surface water from ROW runoff entering premises and damaging building structures) to an annual chance of occurrence of no greater than 2 percent (i.e., an average recurrence interval of 50 years). 3.3.2 Flow Frequency Determination For the newly calibrated PCSWMM models, a frequency analysis was completed for each model by perform- ing a long-term simulation (from 1948 to 2014) to determine the 2 percent and 4 percent exceedance storms (one-in-50-year and one-in-25-year flows, respectively). These storms were used as design storms to identify ways to alleviate existing drainage problems through capital improvements that meet the LOS. For the long term simulations, the hydraulic networks of the models were modified so that there were no restrictions to flow and there was free discharge at outfalls. As a result, all runoff could be conveyed without substantial system storage and attenuation. The event peak flows from the simulations were selected in PCSWMM with two event-based criteria, mini- mum inter-event time (time between peak storms) of 12 hours and a flow threshold (varies by subbasin). The peak flows were ranked, and the flow frequencies were established with the Cunnane plotting position estimators. The events associated with the 25- and 50-year peak flows were used to size storm drainage conveyance in order to meet the relevant LOS. The results of the flow frequency analysis for the BCDF and P subbasin models are provided in Table 3-6 and Table 3-7. Table 3-6.

These flows were used with Manning’s equation of flow to size new and replaced pipe for capital improvement projects in the OO subbasin. The analysis with the HEC-RAS model was not based on a flow frequency determination. Instead, a range of typical flows (from 1 to 10 cfs) were used to demonstrate the impact of the capital improvement project on water surface elevations (Brown and Caldwell, 2015).

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx Section 4: Annexation Area Desktop Evaluation BC performed a review of the stormwater infrastructure in the City of Auburn’s West Hills OO drainage subbasin to identify system easement and infrastructure gaps, and to develop capital improvement projects to address two reported drainage issues. The OO subbasin is one of 18 drainage subbasins added to the City of Auburn’s storm drainage system with the annexation of the West Hills and Lea Hill areas from King County in 2008. The evaluation was completed in the 00 subbasin, and not other annexed subbasins, because the system inventory had been completed and there were two identified drainage problems. The review was based on information collected from site visits to the known problem areas, a desktop analysis using GIS, and anecdotal information from City staff. 4.1 Methodology Guidelines were developed so that the assessment could be performed consistently across the subbasin, and could be applied across other subbasins in the future. The assessment was completed primarily in GIS to identify potential gaps in the storm drainage system in the OO subbasin. 4.1.1 Assessment Guidelines Guidelines were developed that reflect the Storm Drainage Utility service and planning expectations and are intended to complement the LOSs identified in the Drainage Plan: 1. The City will seek to obtain easements for City-owned infrastructure (pipe, culvert, catch basin, or manhole) located on private property. 2. When addressing an identified drainage problem, the City will seek to contain roadway runoff to the ROW to the extent feasible. 3. When addressing an identified drainage problem or reviewing development plans, the City will field- investigate potential infrastructure gaps and evaluate the need for additional drainage facilities. 4.1.2 GIS-Based Methodologies Using the guidelines, potential easements and infrastructure gaps in the OO subbasin were identified using City GIS data, 2012 aerial photography, and Google Earth software imagery. For potential easement gaps, a spatial analysis was completed in GIS to identify City-owned infrastructure on private property. To identify potential infrastructure gaps, subbasins were delineated to drainage outfalls. Then major drain- age pathways were traced upstream based on topography (2-foot contour data), storm drainage infrastruc- ture, road network, and aerial photos. Ten major pathways were identified. As pathways were traced, gaps were identified. Paved roadways and drainage features (i.e. interior outfalls) not directly contributing to the main drainage pathway were also reviewed. Paved roadways were observed from Google Earth and interior outfalls are outfalls that discharge flows between subbasins and not out of the OO subbasin. 4.2 Results The assessment revealed three types of gaps: (1) easement gaps for public infrastructure on private proper- ty, (2) infrastructure gaps along major drainage pathways, and (3) infrastructure gaps along minor drainage pathways. The gaps and their occurrence in the OO subbasin are described below. Figure 4-1 shows the locations of the identified gaps within the OO subbasin, as well as the subbasin delineation and subbasin outfalls, and locations with known problems for which capital improvement projects are planned.

Eleven potential easement gaps were identified. Of the 11 potential easement gaps, 2 are planned to be procured as part of two proposed 6-year capital improvement projects in the Drainage Plan, Projects 5A and 5B (Figure 4-1). Major Drainage Pathways. Gaps along major drainage pathways were identified downstream of two interior outfalls. One is the drainage gap downstream of outfall 705-OO383. Based on topographic data, the channel appears to be located on private property. However, the channel location is not mapped in GIS, and is not observable from aerial photographs or Google Earth and should be field confirmed. There are no reported problems with the infall, outfall, or extent of the assumed channel. Another identified gap in a major drain- age pathway is the area downstream of outfall 505-OO800. This outfall is the downstream end of a daylight- ed pipe that discharges directly to the surface onto the property to the north. This infrastructure gap is being addressed with Project 5B in the Drainage Plan. Minor Drainage Pathways. Gaps in the minor drainage pathways include runoff from paved roadways or where conveyance infrastructure ends and appears to discharge to adjacent parcels. There are no reported problems in areas with identify gaps in minor drainage pathways. !( !( #* # # # # #* # # # # #* # # # CreekMill 5A 5B 505-OO591 505 -OO612 505-OO5 85 704-OO979 605-OO800 806-NNN64 805-OO343 704-O O968 705 -OO383 805 -OO396 804-OO459 705-OO103 6 806-PPP106 705-O O1084 S R 18 51ST AVE S 4 6 T H P L S PEASLEY CANYON RD S 55TH AVE S SR 167 W ST NW S 316TH ST S 300TH PL 58TH AVE S S 328TH ST 52ND AVE S 54TH AVE S U ST NW S 331ST ST S 336TH ST S 300TH ST V ST NW 56TH AVE S S 318TH ST S 3 2 4 T H S T 53RD AVE S HI CREST DR T ST NW S 312TH ST S 305TH ST S 303RD PL S 319TH ST S 3 1 4 T H S T S 302N D PL 53RD PL S R ST NW S 3 20T H ST U C T N W S 322ND PL 52ND AVE SE 57TH PL S 58 TH PL S WEST VALLEY HWY NW AA BY D R N W 15TH ST NW S 329TH PL 12TH CT NW S 324TH PL 52ND PL S 9TH CT NW S 321ST ST 64TH AVE S 56T H PL S51ST CT S S 308TH ST S 325TH ST 57TH AVE S S 301ST CT W ST NW 52ND AVE S 58TH PL S 5 8 T H A V E S 51ST AVE S 51ST AVE S SR 18 S 324TH S T 53RD PL S SR 167 52ND AVE S S 305TH ST 54TH AVE S S 318TH ST SR 18 55TH AVE S R ST NW AABY DR NW COMP REHENSIVE STORM DR AINAGE PLAN 1 inch = 900 feet April 2015 LEGEND !(Storm Node Storm Pipe Storm Culvert Storm Channe l #Subbasin Outfall #*In terior Outfa ll Storm Deten tion Site !(Project L ocation and ID Potential Ease ment Potential Major Pa thway Gap Potential Minor Pa thway Gap Auburn City Boundary Basin OO Boundary Subc atch ment bou ndary P:\Auburn \14529 5 Auburn Stormwater Comp Plan\GIS\M XD\HHModelTech Memo\ AuburnStorm_Fig4-1(AA ).mxd 900 0 900 1,800Feet Figure 4-1Subbasin OOPotential Drainage System GapsIdentified during Desktop Evaluation± Auburn Storm Drainage Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling and Evaluation 25 DRAFT for review purposes only.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx 4.3 Summary and Recommendations This desktop evaluation is a high-level review of GIS data and aerial photography to identify potential gaps in the storm drainage system in recently annexed to the City of Auburn from King County. The evaluation was completed for the OO subbasin where the storm drainage system was recently inventoried and there are two reported drainage problems. Identified gaps are intended to assist planning efforts associated with devel- opment review and investigative efforts should flooding problems arise. The evaluation was also used during the development of two capital improvement projects: Project 5A, West Hills Drainage Improvements at S 330th St. and 46th Pl. S and 5B, West Hills Drainage Improvements near S 314th St. and 54th Ave. S. The approach can be applied to other recently annexed areas when the storm drainage system inventory has been completed or if a drainage problem is reported. If drainage problems are reported in other annexation area subbasins, they could be addressed with one of the general improvements listed in Table 4-1. Also, as the data inventory for the recently annexed areas is completed, the City may identify more easement gaps. The City may want to develop a program to identify where easements are needed, and work with the property owners to obtain easements. Table 4-1. Potential Annexation Area Storm Drainage Improvements Drainage improvement Benefit Implementation considerations Pervious pavement Proactive for flow reduction Most cost-effective for new projects rather than rehab or as new BMP on existing roads Low infiltrative soils will require an underdrain. Not appropriate for roads with heavy vegetative debris or moss growth. ROW bioretention cells Proactive for flow reduction Low infiltrative soils will require an underdrain. Higher maintenance requirements. Pipe and ditch extensions Connect problem area to the existing system to provide flow conveyance Consider impact on downstream system and outfall. Culvert inspection and maintenance Maintenance may be able to improve the conveyance capacity and address the issue Inspection may reveal need for culvert replacement. May result in additional downstream flows. Culvert replacement Damaged or undersized culvert could be replaced to reduce flooding May need to increase culvert size based on subbasin land use. May result in changes to connecting infrastructure. Ditchline grading Ditch conveyance capacity could be restored May result in additional downstream flow. Consider impact on downstream system and outfall. Asphalt berms or curb and gutter Berms could be used to direct flow to the storm drainage system May result in additional downstream flow. Consider impact on downstream system and outfall. Inlet placement or replace- ment Capturing flow at additional locations or replacing a damaged inlet could reduce flooding May result in additional downstream flow. Consider impact on downstream system and outfall. Move pipe alignment from private property to ROW Provides City with access to its infrastructure If pipe is upsized when moved, conveyance capacity may be increased and may result in additional downstream flow. Consider impact on downstream system and outfall. Auburn Storm Drainage Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling and Evaluation 26 DRAFT for review purposes only.

Appendix C - H&H Modeling and Evaluation.docx Section 5: Summary BC performed H&H modeling for nine known drainage problems within the City of Auburn’s stormwater system. The preparatory work included updating existing PCSWMM models and building new models in WWHM and HEC-RAS for smaller-scale analyses. Models were updated or developed with use of several data sources including City GIS data, technical reports, record and construction drawings stormwater infrastruc- ture; and regional agency climatology, soil, and topographic data. BC performed calibration on subbasin models with observed data, the BCDF and P subbasin models. The models were used to perform long-term model simulations to estimate peak flow events to perform flow frequency analyses and establish design event flows for each modeled subbasin. The models were used to develop planning-level capital improvement projects to address identified drainage problems that meet the City’s LOS goals for storm drainage capacity. After the City has completed the system inventory, a more comprehensive modeling effort can be completed, to evaluate City facilities in regards to the LOS. BC also performed a review of the stormwater infrastructure in the annexation area West Hills OO drainage subbasin to identify potential easement and infrastructure gaps and to develop capital improvement pro- jects to address two reported drainage issues. The review was based on information collected from site visits to the known problem areas, a desktop analysis using GIS, and anecdotal information from City staff. The evaluation methods can be applied to other recently annexed areas after the storm drainage system inven- tory has been completed or if a drainage problem has been reported.
