Provide Comments On City’s 2021 Stormwater Management Program In Shoreline

Press release from the City of Shoreline:

February 26, 2021

The City invites you to review and comment on the 2021 Stormwater Management Program (Plan). The City updates this plan annually to comply with requirements of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit). More importantly, the Plan outlines how the City will manage stormwater in a manner that protects public health and safety, and improves water quality in our streams, lakes, wetlands, and Puget Sound.

This Plan follows the organization of Section 5.C of the Permit, and is broken into the eight sections:

• Planning
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Mapping and Documentation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment & Construction Sites
• Operations and Maintenance
• Source Control Program for Existing Development

The Permit requires that we submit the Plan to the Washington State Department of Ecology by Wednesday, March 31, 2021, so the public comment period will close on Monday, March 29, 2021. Thank you for helping us finalize this important document. Should you have any questions, please contact:
