In Waslvagton,muaiapalities with a populatioa of over 100,000(as of the 1990 census)were designated as

that ultimately dischazge iato the Greea River,the White Rivu,or Vlill Creck. In additioa,some pordoas of
the Ciry drain to xegional ia<ration basins.
1.4 Total Maximum Dai6y Load (TMDL) Compliance
The fedecal Clean VVater�1ct xequires that Ecology esrablish`°I'otal Maximum Dailf Loads"(I:�II)L) foT
mrcss,stxeams,lakes,and matine watus that don't meet water quality standazds. f1 T'�Il)L is a cakulation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant that a watec body can receive and still meet mater quality standards.
11fter the T.�IIIDL has bem calculated for a given�vaur body,Ewlogq dere*�++���how much earh soucce
must r�duce its discharges of the polluraat ia ordec bring the watez body back into compliance wit6 the watec
quality standazds. The Ckaa Water Act requires that T1�mL requiremeaa mus[be iaduded in the i�IPDES
pemuts Eoz dischazgets into the afEected watec 6odies.
Stoxmwatez dischatges covered under this pexmit aze required to implanent actioas necessary to ac6ieve the
pollutaat reductions called fo=ia applicabk ThIDLs. Applicabk T\�I.s are those appzoced by the EPf1
before the issuance date of the Pumit ox which have beea appxoved by the EPf1 priox to the date the

Ecology's website at wwce.ecc.wa°ov/nroRtams/mq [mdL
The cuaent pezmit does not contain any TT4DL requizements for the Ciry of tlubuxn. Howecer,Ecology
has identified sevecal water bodies that do not appeaz to meet the watu qualiry standazds. Ecology has

De�r Ms. Dettelbaoh:
This letter is to noqfy you that 4he City of Aubum has become aware of a poirtt of non-compliance with the Phase 11
Nlunicipai StormWater Permit(Permit). The speciflcs of this point of non-compliance gre outiined below. Specfal
CondiBon SS.C.5.a.ii requires the Cfty of Aubum(City)to perform maintenarice witFiin 2 years far malntenance that
requires oap'dal canstruction of less than$25,000.
The City'(derltifrec!iwo stofin Padilities ii12090 {May 6°i and July 7�"')that had exceeded the City's permit required
maintenance standarcts. The City prepared a capltal improvement proJect In 2011 to perform the maintenance bri
these two faCili�es. Pro)ect delays prevenfed the City ftom bidding fn 2011 so it was rescheduied for the summer ofi
2012. Tha City tiid the project In July of this year however we received only one bid wiiich Was aimost twicc�fhe
engineer's est[mate($197,858 over the estirrihte ofi$239,352). The City reject�d the bid artd prepated�o revlse and
re-bid the contrac�t. However the City cancelled the ptoJect re-bid nh August 27�'because we determined the risk for
c411ateral environmental damage was too great'rf we proceed with th�projed fhis late in the year. Consequently,
the City is not in campilance with the pertnit requirements for conducting faciiity maintenance. To correct this
complience issue the City wlll complete the required maintenance during thA sUmrimer of 2013.
Ifyou fiave questions please contactTim Cadaw at(253)8045060 o1'tcad�wfcDaubumwa.aov. For more
