STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
DOCUMENT AVAILABLE FOR COMMENTS
Acknowledging our growing
concerns with stormwater in our daily lives, we have drafted the first
edition of our Stormwater Management Program
(SWMP)
document and the current Western
WA Phase II Permit Annual Report. Please submit your comments to dmachuca@ci.seatac.wa.us
or address written comments to: City of SeaTac Public Works,
Stormwater Management Coordinator, 4800 S. 188th Street, SeaTac, WA
98188-8605.
Our overall goal for
the program is to not only meet the requirements of a the municipal
stormwater permit by the Department of Ecology (Ecology)*, but to also ensure
that our program captures and addresses your concerns. SeaTac Public Works staff has been working with other jurisdictions from
across the Puget Sound
through several regional forums in a collaborative effort to share resources, tools, and methodologies
to meet Ecology’s SWMP requirements. While the SWMP will be updated and expanded every year
for the next five years, this first document will primarily include descriptions of our
existing programs and our plan to update these programs to meet the requirements
of the Permit.
