STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PLAN
1 . INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document presents the City of Auburn's Stormwater Management Program (SV/MP). Preparation and
maintenance of this SWMP Plan is required by the Washington State Department of Ecology(Ecology) as a
condition of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit(the Phase II Permit). The
Phase II permit covers discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). The
SWMP Plan is intended to inform the public of the planned SWMP activities for the upcoming year.
The permit to discharge stormwater is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants,protect water quality,
and meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act.
Appendix A includes acronyms and definitions from the Permit to help the reader understand the City's
Stormwater Management Program.
1.2 Regulatory Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the
federal Clean Water Act,which is intended to protect and restore waters for"fishable, swimmable"uses. The
federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental
agencies, and these agencies can set permit conditions in accordance with and in addition to the minimum
federal requirements. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State
Department of Ecology(Ecology).
In Washington,municipalities with a population of over 100,000 are designated as Phase I communities and
must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Pernnit.Auburn's population is below
the 100,000 threshold,so the City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.About 100
other municipalities in Washington must also comply with the Phase II Permit,as operators of small
municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Ecology's Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit is available
on Ecology's website at
lnttp://www.ec;.wa.go\,/programs/w-q/stormwater/municipal/12hase1I«-%v/«lvphiipernut.litml
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the
state's water bodies (e.g., streams,rivers, lakes,wetlands,and aquifers) as long as municipalities implement
programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of"non-point source"pollutants to the
"maximum extent practicable" (MEP) through application of Permit-specified"best management practices"
(BMPs).The BMPs specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management
Program(SWMP) and grouped under the following Program components:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Controlling Runoff from New Development,Redevelopment,and Construction Sites

1:Introduction City of Auburn 2015 SWMP Plan
■ Municipal Operations and Maintenance
In addition to the SWMP components the Permit contains special conditions covering:
• Compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load requirements
• Monitoring and Assessment
• Reporting Requirements
The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on August 1,2013,was modified January 16,2014 and
expires on July 31,2018. The Permit requires the City to submit an annual report no later than March 31s,of
each year beginning in 2015,on progress in SWMP implementation. The Permit also requires submittal of a
SWMP Plan which describes proposed SWMP activities for the current calendar year. The SWMP Plan is to
be updated annually and be included in the submittal of the previous year's annual report.
1.3 City of Auburn Regulated Area
The Western Washington Phase II Pernnit applies to operators of regulated small MS4s that discharge
stormwater to waters of Washington State located west of the crest of the Cascade Range (west of the eastern
boundaries of Whatcom,Skagit,Snohomish,King,Pierce,Lewis and Skamania counties). For cities, the
Permit requirements extend to those areas of each City that drain to MS4s. Most of Auburn drains to MS4s
that ultimately discharge into the Green River,the White River,or Mill Creek. In addition, some portions of
the City drain to public infiltration facilities where the stormwater soaks into the ground.
1.4 SWMP Implementation Responsibilities
The Utilities Engineering Division in the Community Development and Public Works Department
coordinates the overall administration of efforts to comply with Permit requirements. The work plan tables
in each Chapter provide the lead departments for the associated task. Other major departments/divisions
included in the 2015 SWMP implementation are Maintenance and Operations (M&O),Human Resources
(HR),Development Engineering, Permit Center,Innovation and Technology(IT),and Parks.
1.5 Document Organization
The contents of this document are based upon Permit requirements and Ecology's "Guidance for City and
County Annual Reports for Western Washington,Phase II Municipal Stormwater General Permits."The
program components of this SWMP are organized as listed in the Permit:
• Section 2.0 addresses administering the City's Stormwater Management Program.
• Section 3.0 addresses public education and outreach.
• Section 4.0 addresses public involvement and participation.
• Section 5.0 addresses illicit discharge detection and elimination.
• Section 6.0 addresses controlling runoff from new development,redevelopment, and construction
sites.
• Section 7.0 addresses municipal operations and maintenance.
• Section 8.0 addresses comphance with TMDL requirements.
• Section 9.0 addresses monitoring.
Each section includes a summary of the relevant Permit requirements and a table showing the planned
activities for 2015. This document also includes acronyms and definitions in Appendix A for easy reference.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PLAN
8 . COMPLIANCE WITH TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD
REQUIREMENTS
The federal Clean Water Act requires that Ecology establish"Total Maximum Daily Loads" (TMDL) for
rivers,streams, lakes, and marine waters that don't meet water quality standards. A TMDL is a calculation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards.
After the TMDL has been calculated for a given water body,Ecology determines how much each source
must reduce its discharges of the pollutant in order bring the water body back into compliance with the water
quality standards. TMDL requirements are included in the stormwater NPDES permits for discharges into
affected water bodies.
Stormwater discharges covered under this Permit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the
pollutant reductions called for in applicable TMDLs. Applicable TMDLs are those approved by the EPA
before die issuance date of the Permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the issue date of the
Permit or the date Ecology issues coverage under the Permit,whichever is later. Information on Ecology's
TMDL program is available on Ecology's website at«nxw.ec%T.wa.go,,,/programs/wq/tmdl.
In accordance with Permit condition S7 Compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load Requirements the City
must comply with the following TMDL.
