PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PRESENTATION Randy Asplund, RH2 Engineering gave a presentation regarding the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II program. This is a Federal requirement and the permit will be administrated by the Department of Ecology (DOE) The Department of Ecology has developed maps that illustrate the census urbanized areas and jurisdictional boundaries. These maps were used to identify potential Phase II jurisdictions. According to these maps, 104 towns, cities and counties are located with urban areas, and these jurisdictions need to apply for Phase II stormwater permit coverage. Urban storm water is an increasing problem in Washington State. High concentrations of pollutants are found in urban stormwater discharges that can harm drinking water, human health and fish habitat. In 1987 Congress amended the federal Clean Water Act to address stormwater discharge. Federal regulations established two phases -for the stormwater permit program which require controls to reduce stormwater pollutant discharges to the maximum extent practicable. Douglas County, East Wenatchee, Chelan County and Wenatchee are required to comply since the area has been declared an urbanized area. Rock Island is tentatively excluded since their population is less than 1,000. The purpose of this application is for local governments or special districts to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to discharge stormwater runoff from a Phase II municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4s). Mr. Asplund explained that local area staff has been involved in the committees which are working with DOE on the program requirements. Staff recommends a joint approach to this requirement to lower the cost for each jurisdiction for program development and to work toward having consistent storm water standards in the valley. — slilg jo uoilt.raplsuOD •Z 0-9 `paurta uorlouz aqZ •quuZl laquiaurliounoo Xq puooas `iaunuoig .ragruawl!ounoD Xq poluosard su jupualuo luasuoo agl anoiddu of opuur suns uoilow V moijad liaunoa •.rallaq li 3jou.zl of aunllano Jo uoiluuuldxa uu gllnn slrodoi Xjgiuour SuTlltuigns aq pinom uosLUUH 3aigD pappt OH •par3risnf si aunlrano aql slaa3 pug auzilsano 5urpau8aJ uosr nH 3aigD aollod gllnn laui puq aq pigs Xou7 IOAew •luouil.iudaQ aorlo(1 aql ui aunliano Jo lunouru aql 3o suraouoo passoidxo aa"ong iaqu owpounoa x INaliva ,tu:isuoj 'AOIJun aqI ui posn ilann AJ;)A OR gain aql ui splarg sliods agl Pius aH •xalduroo slpods u pllnq puu puul osugojnd AjiD aql aas of will pinom OH •ua.re aql of sluana slrods 8uuq of )�4r1iqu aql aoutqua of aagoluuaM isug jo c4l0 oql .ro3 uorstA t stq aq pigs AOU-11OX18W •swooilsal aql uiuluiuuz puu pannour sunnul aql daaN `(splog liuq aql jo osn oqi 8uipnloxa) ollgnd oql of uado uruurai of qxud oql nnollu pinonn iugi aano knuo 000`OZZ$ u 3o uoildaoxo aql yl!m b00Z ur slied aql uru oI fOuoui ou sug VS-dg plus OH •algtlltnt sainal xul ku;)doid iuingai omi suq lugl loulsip Suixul ioiunf u sr ((IdW) uV •((IdW) loigsiQ sNiud uulrlodojj;) l u aaplsuoo of suotlolpsunf 31su ao XAol luioads u uni pinoo piuog VS-dg aql anal sNiud agl3o amlrt3 oqI glinn pits Aoug ioXuW .
