Clark County's Stormwater Management Program Plan (SWMP) outlines what actions will be taken to meet requirements of a NPDES phase 1 municipal stormwater permit issued in February 2007.
The final SWMP was submitted to the Department of Ecology on March 31, 2008 and underwent minor revisions in 2009.
Background information on Clark County's stormwater permit
Identical permits were also issued for for the cities of Seattle and Tacoma, and King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. This permit replaces a permit originally issued in 1999.
The 2007 permit expands county stormwater management requirements and includes stronger rules for development projects, building stormwater facilities to reduce stormwater impacts on streams, increased stormwater facility maintenance, and expanded education and outreach.
The current permit limits the ability of permittees to tailor their programs to local needs and priorities. Input from the public can help identifying priority activities that go beyond permit requirements or additional tools to meet permit requirements. Comments on how to make the SWMP report more accessible and valuable as a source of information about the program are also encouraged.
The Clean Water Commission, appointed by the Board of Clark County Commissioners, public input for the entire stormwater program.
