INTRODUCTION

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the Federal Clean Water Act. The Phase I and Phase II municipal stormwater permits were initiated to protect water quality through the development and implementation of programs and procedures designed to detect and eliminate pollutant discharges. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies towards developing, implementing and enforcing stormwater regulations and policies. In Washington State, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). The first cycle of NPDES municipal stormwater permits were issued by Ecology in January of 2007 to Phase I and Phase II jurisdictions. Ecology designated Phase I Permitees as jurisdictions with a population of 100,000 or greater and Phase II Permitees as jurisdictions with population of less than 100,000 according to the 1990 census. These permits were set to be in effect for a 5-year term and will expire in June of 2012. In 2009 these permits were modified to reflect changes made in response to the results of the appeals of the Permit. This document, known as the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) describes the annual programs and plans to be implemented in compliance with the NPDES Phase II municipal stormwater permit (Phase II Permit). The SWMP is updated yearly by the City of Sumner to meet the requirements of the Phase II Permit. The SWMP was developed to outline the City’s advancement and strategy for implementing Permit required programs and policies. The SWMP also illustrates the City’s individual approach towards the reduction of pollutant discharges from the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The overall purpose of this program is to protect water quality by reducing pollutant discharges to the maximum extent possible (MEP). This will be accomplished through proper education, program development, the application of Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and compliance with Washington State’s All Known and Reasonable Treatment (AKART) requirements where applicable in the major divisions of the NPDES Permit listed below: • • • • •

Public Education and Outreach Public Involvement and Participation Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations

The Phase II Permit requires a comprehensive annual report describing completed requirements and deadlines for future requirements. This report must be submitted to the Ecology, by March 31st of the following year. The SWMP document is an element of the annual

3 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 report that provides an explanation of the Permit requirements and previous year’s activities as well as a summary of potential plans based on future requirements of the Permit in the forthcoming years. An updated SWMP is required with each year’s annual report to Ecology. Permit Reissuance and New Permit Issuance Sumner is defined as a Phase II community by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), and therefore, is required to comply with the requirements of the NPDES Phase II Permit. Phase II communities are those that: •

Own and operate a storm drain system.

•

Discharge to surface waters.

•

Are located in urbanized areas.

•

Have a population of more than 1,000 but less than 100,000.

Phase II communities were required to complete an NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application and submit to Ecology by March 10, 2003. The NPDES Phase II Permit (Permit) was issued to Sumner on January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 16, 2007. The Permit, as it stands now, expires on February 15, 2012. In 2011, a legislative alteration lead Ecology to reissue the (2007-2012) Phase II Permit unchanged, for one additional year. This Permit is currently in draft form and undergoing final review with Ecology. Ecology worked with other interested parties to developed draft permits through a permit reissuance process that began in the summer of 2008. A 3-month public comment period ending February 3, 2012 was provided to allow jurisdictions the opportunity to provide constructive feedback on new permit requirements. Ecology will review the comments submitted and incorporate changes where applicable to final permits. Currently there is a 1year and a 5-year Phase II Permit receiving final review before issuance on August 1, 2012 and August 1, 2013 respectively. Section G18 of the permit required Phase II jurisdictions to reapply for coverage under the new Permit by submitting a Duty to Reapply Notice of Intent (NOI) application. Permittees were required to complete this task 180 days prior to the expiration of the current Permit.

NPDES PHASE II PROGRAM COMPONENTS

The Phase II Permit is a booklet of defined special and general conditions designed to guide and direct Permittees in developing stormwater code, policies and programs. These programs focus to educate, promote and enforce water quality standards within their jurisdiction. The Phase II Permit contains several sections and subsections pertaining to program requirements and protocol. The following list describes the 5 core programs of the current Phase II Permit and new Monitoring section that will be a part of future Permits: • • • • • •

The additional section for monitoring will not become effective until 2013 when the new Phase II Permit will be issued. The City of Sumner is currently exempt from monitoring requirements due to criteria requiring a population greater than 10,000. The requirements of these program components and how the City of Sumner is currently addressing and plans to address future requirements are discussed in greater detail in the following sections. In general, the City of Sumner has activities and programs in place that meet current NPDES Phase II Permit requirements. As future requirements are introduced, the City will need to develop and implement additional programs, training, educational materials, and update policies and procedures to manage current specifications and demands. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH 2.1.1

Permit Requirements

This component aims to implement a public education program that actively provides educational materials, learning opportunities, and activities regarding stormwater management to the community. More specifically, this program focuses to distribute significant and applicable stormwater information to various audiences including: the general public, businesses, homeowners, engineers, contractors and City staff. The messages in these materials contain a general theme concerning the impacts of stormwater discharges on local and regional water bodies. These materials can be distributed in an assortment of ways including but not limited to: seminars, trainings, events, commercials, online postings, newsletters, posters, coloring books and brochures. A portion of this program focuses on providing informative methods and behaviors the general public can adopt to reduce the amount of pollutants in stormwater runoff generated from the

5 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 homeowner. Other segments focus on business and property management, maintenance of stormwater facilities, and hazardous materials. The education program targets a variety of groups, in an effort to contact and inform a large percentage of those most likely to impact stormwater. To ensure that the program is successful, a measurement of the behaviors and understanding of water quality was recorded after a regional survey developed in conjunction with Pierce County was administered to the citizens of Sumner. The data and results provided will be used as a baseline to guide future public education and outreach programs. Additional surveys will be administered intermittently to determine whether or not the current methods of informing the public are effectively educating and reducing pollutant discharge. This program promotes a positive change in behaviors to ensure and protect water quality in local and regional waters of the state. 2.1.2

Past Public Education Activities

The City of Sumner’s public education program addresses various requirements identified in the Public Education and Outreach component of the Permit. Annual requirements have been met in the past through the implementation of the following activities:

Sumner policy requires that stormwater control facilities, serving other than singlefamily residential developments, be owned and maintained by the homeowners’ association, property owner or other designee. The developer is required to execute and record an Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan in instances where the City will not assume ownership and maintenance of a stormwater facility.

City staff accompanied the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department during Local Source Control inspections of gas stations and big box stores to address good housekeeping concerns. Best Management Practices were identified and recommended when necessary.

The City of Sumner worked with a local Eagle Scout candidate to coordinate a storm drain stenciling event. The Eagle Scout candidate along with other troop members and volunteers spent several hours walking the streets of Sumner painting stencils on road surfaces near storm drains. These messages help reinforce the campaign motto “only rain down the drains”.

The City maintains a list of Stormwater Maintenance Agreement holders and conducts inspections of the businesses stormwater facility with property managers or maintenance staff. Proper maintenance and repairs are explained during the walkthrough inspection of the facility with the intent of improving the water quality of their facilities discharge.

The City’s Community Connection Newsletter was utilized to post articles on the differences of Storm and Sewer treatment, medication take back program, lawn care and excess fertilizers as well as fall clean-up events for yard waste and leaf disposal.

A webpage was developed on the City’s website and posters were distributed to local pharmacies regarding the City’s medication take back program. The police department at City Hall has a bin to accept expired prescription drugs.

Continued the promotion of using “Bonney Good Sumner Grow” biosolids from the Waste Water Treatment Facility as a slow release nitrogen fertilizer for plants and landscape vegetation.

The City of Sumner collaborated with Pierce County to acquire and distribute coffee sleeves for distribution at local coffee stands. Each coffee sleeve was designed with specific stormwater messages for the common home owner.

In June of 2011, the City of Sumner was awarded a $300 grant from the Puyallup River Watershed Foundation to re-establish a stream buffer along Salmon Creek. The City of Sumner worked with Pierce Conservation Districts Stream Team to finalize a planting plan, order plants, and recruit volunteers to complete the project. On October 25th, 2011 a group of 17 volunteers planted 85 native species of plants and 25 cuttings of willow with protective tubing and stakes, creating a 5,000 ft2 buffer along Salmon Creek. This buffer once established, will provide shade and protection against invasive plant species while keeping the creek waters at more natural temperatures.

Other educational materials such as brochures and posters on car washing, natural yard care, and pet waste have been posted on the City’s website or at sites around town. 2.1.3

Future Public Education Activities

As a part of the ongoing requirements of the NPDES Permit, the City has fabricated an Education/Outreach Program list of innovative methods and approaches in continuing to educate the community of Sumner on the topic of water quality. • • • • • • • • •

The list above contains several simple methods in promoting a change to the detrimental behaviors that impact the water quality of our local and regional waterways. To avoid creating large quantities of reading material, there are also a couple activities planned for community participation, those of which include a shred and clean event, and coffee sleeve/coaster program, and music video development described below. In recognition of Earth Day a Shred and Clean event is being organized to accept items such as paper, appliances, medication take-back and possibly oil recycling to increase proper hazardous material disposal. The City of Sumner is also working with Pierce County during the month of April to promote the organization and stormwater messages of Puget Sound Starts Here. The City has solicited to acquire a list of participating coffee stands and restaurants and will distribute the promotional coffee sleeves for use during the week identified by Pierce County. In an effort to reduce fertilizer runoff, the City devised a fertilizer poster and will be distributing this poster at local gardening centers and events. This poster provides guidelines for applications and obtaining suitable fertilizers based on plant type and season. A music video with a focus on pet waste disposal is currently under development. The lyrics and music have already been selected to promote picking up pet waste to reduce contaminated runoff. A schedule of planned activities and program components is identified in the table on the following page.

By the end of 2012 all required materials will have been distributed or presented to all suggested audiences to fulfill the Permit requirements. 2.2

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION

2.2.1

Permit Requirements

This program component requires that the City of Sumner develop a public involvement and participation program that complies with state and local public notice requirements. The City of Sumner currently participates in various groups and organizations pertaining to the importance of water quality and future issues. The City also has a program available for the public to partake in the development and formation of this SWMP. 2.2.2

Past Public Involvement and Participation Activities

The City of Sumner has a public involvement and participation program in place that meets requirements of this program component, by providing opportunities for the public to learn, comment or propose suggestions regarding stormwater projects, programs and policy. The City is a leading member of the Puyallup River Watershed Council (PRWC) hosting the monthly meetings at Sumnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Hall. This group works to coordinate water quality programs, activities, and organizes discussions concerning environmental and habitat issues in the Puyallup River basin. Another environmental organization the City has partnered with is Puget Sound Starts Here (PSSH). This group focuses on promoting stormwater tips for the homeowner in several categories such as: natural yard care, car maintenance and washing, and pet waste. The City utilizes the promotional materials provided by PSSH to propagate the same messages creating a regional effort to reduce pollutants from entering the water systems of Puget Sound. The Community Development Department has formed its own program called Sumner University. This curriculum presents information regarding local government, giving the citizens of Sumner the opportunity to learn discuss various departments and programs in their jurisdiction. A portion of this presentation includes information on our stormwater program. During the Puyallup Fair, City staff manned a booth for Pierce Conservation Districts Stream Team Program. Staff provided answers to questions from Fair guests regarding the Rain Barrel and permeable demonstrations and other displays. Children were asked if they wanted to feed Sammy the Salmon, in an effort to educate the youth on salmon habitat and how they directly impact their quality of living environments.

The City is also an active member of the South Puget Sound Phase II Coordinator’s Group. This organization meets bi-monthly to discuss stormwater related issues and address methods of compliance regarding NPDES Permit deadlines. A continuous focus for this group is public education. Another group the City has become affiliated with is the Stormwater Work Group (SWG). This group met quarterly to discuss specific topics of the overall plan to provide Ecology with a proposal for a regional monitoring system that would satisfy the monitoring requirements of the Permit. In October of 2010 the SWG provided recommendations and comments pertaining to new Permit requirements regarding a regional monitoring program. Most of the recommendations were implemented into the draft version of the next NPDES Phase II Permit. The group continues to work with Ecology on the development of the effectiveness monitoring program, updating the 2012-2013 work plans, overseeing the processes for status and trends and pooling resources, and development of the repository for source identification information. In addition to involvement in the PRWC, the South Puget Sound Phase II Coordinator’s Group, and the local caucus group, the City focuses extend stormwater education to industrial and commercial development through stormwater regulations requiring all industrial and commercial sites to paint or emboss “DUMP NO WASTE – DRAINS TO STREAM” adjacent to all storm drain inlets. Sumner also has a public involvement and participation activity for car washes. The City has implemented the use of a car wash kit designed to collect waste water from car washes so that it can be pumped into the sanitary sewer system. There is also an informational handout for this activity in Appendix A. The public has the continuous opportunity to aid in the development of the City’s SWMP through an online commentary. Citizens are encouraged via the online Stormwater webpage to read the SWMP and submit comments to the NPDES Permit manager. The SWMP, annual report(s) and other submittals are made available to the public on our City website. Comments are being addressed accordingly. 2.2.3

Future Public Involvement and Participation Activities

The City will post the updated versions of the SWMP and annual report on its website (www.ci.sumner.wa.us) by March 31st. Any other submittals required by the Permit will also be posted as necessary on the website. The public will continue to have the opportunity to comment on the SWMP by means of the contact information provided. The City also hosts several council meetings for which the public can attend and voice their opinions on various stormwater projects. The City plans to coordinate and work with the Puget Sound Partnership to organize a Rain Garden Installation Program, to get local citizens involved with learning how they can

11 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 contribute to the health of the Puget Sound by performing simple operations in the setting of their own home. The first step towards achieving this goal is to identify areas with infiltration rates that meet standards for implementation of rain gardens. Due to Sumner’s valley floor setting and high groundwater levels, challenges may be present when attempting to implement rain gardens. Another organization the City plans to collaborate with this year is Pierce Conservation Districts Stream Team. Various Capital Improvement Projects offer the opportunity to provide additional habitat restoration near the rivers and creeks of Sumner. The City would utilize Stream Teams expertise to efficiently organize volunteer events to complete various projects. A summer project to be coordinated with Stream Team is a stenciling project. The City would like to coordinate a group of volunteers to scour the streets of Sumner and mark catch basins without the “dump no waste – drains to stream” decal. In April the City will distribute promotional coasters and coffee sleeves to local participating restaurants and coffee stands to use and support stormwater messages provided by PSSH. This project goal is to generate awareness of PSSH and the information they provide concerning stormwater impacts and management. Active involvement with the various groups and organizations as well as coordination between municipal departments will continue in support of protecting water quality. The City of Sumner plans to be a part of the EPA Puget Sound Watershed Management Assistance Grant in collaboration with the City of Puyallup and many other municipalities in the Pierce County region. 2.3

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION

2.3.1

Permit Requirements

Compliance with this program component requires the City to implement and enforce an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) program for the City’s MS4. Required program elements are as follows: •

Develop a municipal storm sewer system map that includes information on the City’s MS4 (e.g. outfalls, receiving waters, connection points, areas that don’t discharge to surface water, etc.).

•

Effectively prohibit, through ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, non-stormwater, illegal discharges, and dumping into the City’s MS4.

•

Develop and implement a program to detect and address non-stormwater discharges, spills, illicit connections and illegal dumping into the City’s MS4.

•

Inform public employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper waste disposal.

12 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 •

Implement procedures for program evaluation and assessment which includes a program to track spills and illicit discharges (both number and type), record inspections made and record any feedback received from public education effort.

•

Provide appropriate training to City employees on IDDE into the City’s MS4.

2.3.2

Past Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Activities

The City of Sumner has a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) base map that is regularly updated by the City to include development and redevelopment projects upon completion and receipt of as-built information. Additional information is periodically provided by Pierce County (due to Interlocal agreement). A supplementary map of the MS4s known outfall sites and structural BMPs owned, operated, or maintained has also been developed in response to Permit requirements. Other maps illustrate land uses, areas served by the MS4 and those that do not discharge surface waters. Another measure the City has employed to satisfy Permit requirements includes training. City representatives attended the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Response and Enforcement Level Training sponsored by Herrera in 2010 to learn about proper identification, indicators, and methods of response when developing an IDDE program. In 2011 Ecology’s Spill Response Team completed a training seminar with the City’s Maintenance and Operation Staff providing information on common practices, useful equipment, Ecology assistance and Fire Department Coordination. A letter documenting the training is provided in the City’s annual report Appendix E. A specific webinar and seminar pertaining to Fecal Coliform was attended by several City staff to acquire education on sampling, types, methods, and practices of how to approach and manage a Total Maximum Daily Load for Fecal Coliform. The City has also conducted several in house training seminars to educate staff and field personnel regarding identification and elimination of various discharges, and procedures to follow to remedy specific situations. A phone hotline is also in place and currently displayed on our City website for citizens to use and report incidents. The number will either contact the City’s Maintenance and Operations Facility during business hours or the Police Department for after hours to respond. Outfall reconnaissance and field inspections were again conducted on a prioritized waterway. Pollutant concerns are followed up with investigations.

13 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 Sumner ordinances and other programs are in place and meet requirements for the IDDE component of the Permit. Sumner Municipal Code (SMC) and other programs currently in place concerning illicit discharge control are as follows: •

SMC 13.48.233 Illicit connection, this code defines an illicit connection according to the City

•

SMC 13.48.234 Illicit discharge, this code defines an illicit discharge according to the City.

•

SMC 13.48.820, Illicit discharges, this code prohibits illicit discharge.

•

SMC 13.48.830, Enforcement, this code defines how the City will enforce the codes.

•

SMC 13.48.860, Penalty, this code defines how the City will penalize failure to comply with the codes.

•

Nonpublic stormwater facility operators are required to execute and record an Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan as shown in Appendix C. Operation, maintenance and repair responsibility resides on the facility owner. Included in this plan is a maintenance checklist which contains line items regarding identification of oil and chemical sheens or odors. A database for properties possessing recorded Stormwater Maintenance Agreements has been created to monitor inspections, annual report submissions and maintenance/repair activities.

•

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans have been developed for Sumner-maintained streets, the Sumner WWTP, and the Sumner Meadows Golf Links. The golf course and WWTP plans state that dry weather surveys will be conducted annually for IDDE.

•

Illicit discharges to the Sumner storm system are detected during routine catch basin and stormwater conveyance system maintenance activities. Catch basin and stormwater conveyance cleaning is typically conducted on an as-needed basis.

•

Documentation of activities including when inspections take place, times and types of spills, public feedback from education efforts and training for municipal staff has been implemented and recorded.

2.3.3

Future Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Activities

The City will maintain the ongoing program to detect Illicit Discharges and Illicit Connections to the MS4, continue training staff to document illicit connections and spills as well as continue investigations for sources of fecal coliform in Salmon Creek. Staff will continue to be trained to performing field assessments and visual inspections of high priority outfalls and water bodies in preparation for regulated monitoring of receiving waters and source identification. The planned activities stated earlier for public education and outreach will continue to provide information on IDDE in an effort to decrease the number of illicit discharges and connections found throughout the City.

14 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 In response to a TMDL report developed by Ecology June 2011, the City of Sumner has initiated an investigation on Fecal Coliform sources discharging to Salmon Creek. Water samples from various locations on the Creek have been tested to determine the location(s) of the significant contributors (source identification). The process of sampling and identifying potential sources of pollution will continue until Ecology determines the waters of Salmon Creek meet water quality standards. Subsequent to performing annual inspection of stormwater outfalls per the Phase II NPDES Permit requirement, an illicit discharge was identified to be originating from the stormwater pipeline of Poole Road. This pipeline discharges to Salmon Creek at the northern end of the road. The investigation of the illicit discharge along with the issuance of a Fecal Coliform Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) on Salmon Creek prompted an examination of the utilities and structures of Poole Road. The residential housing on Poole Road is supported by septic systems, in a lowland area with a characteristic high ground water level which could be contributing to the Fecal Coliform currently found in Salmon Creek. The illicit discharge ceased to exist shortly after it was discovered, however the City is in the process of installing new utilities with the hopes of eliminating a potential source of Fecal Coliform. Newly revised City code addressing issues of Illicit Discharges and Illicit Connections and enforcement procedures will be utilized by inspectors and staff to resolve actions of stormwater pollution. The City will continue to develop its map of the MS4 including the locations of all known stormwater outfalls and structural BMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Methods for locating and tracking areas with a higher probability for having illicit discharges will be developed. The City will also continue to develop, modify, implement and improve procedures for source identification and proper response when contamination is known. 2.4

Past Runoff and Development Activities

The City of Sumner has adopted the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as well as revised enforceable mechanisms that meet requirements for controlling runoff from new development, redevelopment and construction sites. These enforceable mechanisms currently in place related to this requirement include: •

The City of Sumner Development Specifications and Standard Details Chapter 5, Section 5.2 Standard Specifications lists and describes all the applicable references for standards that control runoff from new development, redevelopment and construction site activity in the City including the WSDOE 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SMMWW); the Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound; WSDOT Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction; 1992 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and others.

•

The City of Sumner Development Specifications and Standard Details Chapter 5, Section 5.3, Stormwater System Design Requirements describes the process that new development, redevelopment and construction sites must go through prior to approval and acceptance from the City. Also included in Section 5.6 Maintenance Responsibilities are requirements for an Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan. This agreement is shown in Appendix C.

•

SMC 16.04 requires public comment for projects subject to SEPA requirements. SMC 18.56 requires public comment during a Land Use Permit application process requiring a Type II, IV, V, VI.a, or VI.b decision.

•

Notice of Intent for Construction Activity and Notice of Intent for Industrial Activity are provided to representatives of proposed new development or redevelopment.

16 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 To enforce these regulations, the City has employed inspectors to document and address compliance issues and make recommended correction actions to be implemented. Inspection reports are completed at various stages of construction to provide documentation of incidents and response from the contractors, managing the site. As a part of our ongoing training program, the City arranged for two staff members to attend a National Pollutant Discharge Eliminations System (NPDES) Phase II Permit Compliance Training course on “Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, Response & Enforcement Level Training” which was presented by Herrera Environmental Consultants. City representatives were educated on the proper identification of an unknown substance, documentation, investigation, and enforcement or elimination procedures. Municipal program development was also discussed as a part of NPDES Permit requirements. Another training seminar the City attended was involved a presentation on “Stormwater Treatment Technologies”. This particular seminar was provided by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. This lecture discussed expected future NPDES regulations regarding water quality monitoring and treatment and some of the current technologies available to resolve these issues. Webinars for “BMP Best Practices for Linear Construction”, “BMP Maintenance: Don’t Get Caught With Your Fence Down!” and “Track-Out: Construction’s Most Common and Costly BMP Violation” offered by Stormwater USA and Storm Water Solutions Magazine were presented to City staff providing education on common problems and BMP’s at construction sites. Additional information on new stormwater technologies was made available to the City through a tour of Washington State University’s (WSU) Puyallup Research and Extension Center located in Puyallup. City staff listened to a presentation explaining the benefits and test results from new stormwater technologies such as rain gardens and permeable pavement. A guided tour was also offered where attendees were able to see these technologies first hand. A BMP presentation on spill situations and containment was administered to City representatives in Public Works, Maintenance and Operations, and the Police Departments. These selected departments represent the staff most likely to be in the field and witness illicit discharges, illegal dumping, and water quality issues. Staff watched a video presentation explaining common misguided maintenance behaviors and learned about the implementation of good housekeeping procedures. As required, a report was submitted to Ecology identifying barriers, goals, non-structural actions, and practices of Low Impact Development within the City of Sumner. This document was included as a part of 2010 NPDES Annual Report. 2.4.3

Future Runoff and Development Activities

The City will continue to enforce adopted Sumner Municipal Code and modified Development Specifications and Standard Details to reflect the requirements of the NPDES Permit. In addition, the inspectors will continue to perform their duties and record enforcement actions, and training will be provided to staff impacted by the NPDES Permit and for those responsible for regulating the requirements of this program component.

17 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012

Permit and development review staff will utilize new guidelines and amend design flaws for new development, redevelopment and construction sites. New standards and details for LID requirements will be used to implement LID where feasible within the City of Sumner. Scheduled maintenance activities will be performed as planned and records will be updated. Spot checks will be performed in areas that have had significant issues historically. The City also has resources available to manage complaints that are phoned in on the “Report a Problem” hotline. Currently, the City of Sumner enforces municipal code in compliance with the standards and regulations of the NPDES Permit. Methods of enforcement are described in the City’s municipal code. Trainings are provided annually for City staff to gain knowledge about up to date technologies, standards, and Permit requirements, so that they can be implemented and enforced jurisdictionally. 2.5

POLLUTION PREVENTION AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS

2.5.1

Permit Requirements

This minimum control measure requires that the City develop and implement an operations and maintenance (O&M) program, including a training component, that has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The minimum elements included in this program component are: •

The City will develop and implement O&M standards for municipal facilities that are as protective, or more protective, than those in Chapter 4 of Volume V of Ecology’s 2005 SWMMWW.

•

The City will develop an annual inspection program for flow control facilities, and will do spot checks after major storm events for damage.

•

The inspection program will include inspection of all catch basins and inlets in the MS4 before the Permit expiration date.

•

The inspections will be documented and work done or needed on the stormwater facilities will be noted according to the Permit requirements for reporting.

•

The City will develop and implement a program to reduce the stormwater impacts from streets, parking lots, roads, highways and other lands owned, operated or maintained by the City, including road maintenance.

18 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 •

The City will develop and implement a training program for City employees whose construction, operation and maintenance job functions may impact stormwater quality.

•

The City will develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all heavy equipment maintenance yards and material storage facilities owned or operated by the City that is not required to have coverage under the Industrial Stormwater General Permit.

2.5.2

Past Maintenance and Operations Activities

The City’s maintenance standards for stormwater facilities are addressed in the Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan as shown in Appendix C or in a SWPPP specific to the site. The agreement standards are composed of those specified in Chapter 4 of Volume V of Ecology’s 2005 SWMMWW and addresses various types of BMP’s, identifiable water quality issues, as well as proper maintenance of each BMP. Catch basins are currently inspected with routine maintenance activities. These smaller activities are done on an as-needed basis. However, a complete cleaning of the MS4 system is typically performed bi-annually to ensure good housekeeping behaviors are followed. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP’s) were developed for City facilities likely to discharge to the City stormwater infrastructure. These facilities include: the Sumner Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), Sumner Meadows Golf Links, and Street Maintenance Division. Each SWPPP describes implemented measures to reduce stormwater impacts including pollutant discharges from all the areas owned by the City. They also include on-going training programs for employees. The SWPPP's for each City facility contain recommendations for routine pollution prevention, stormwater facility maintenance, stormwater facility inspection schedules, and training related to stormwater pollution prevention. SWPPP’s for City facilities are contained in separate documents entitled City of Sumner Wastewater Treatment Facility Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, City of Sumner Sumner Meadows Golf Links Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and City of Sumner Street Maintenance Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. An Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan was previously executed for the City Shop. To satisfy the requirements of this component of the Permit for City owned facilities, the City has developed and implemented a plan to inspect of all the inlets, ponds, oil water separators and grease interceptors stormwater treatment and flow control facilities owned and operated by the City. Our Maintenance and Operations crew annually inspects all City owned stormwater facilities, verifying proper function and managing maintenance when necessary. The plan also includes spot checks on potentially damaged permanent treatment and flow control facilities after major storm events. Catch basins are typically cleaned bi-annually due to the efficiency of our scheduled sweeping of the City roadways. The plan also includes documentation of the inspections and work performed or needed on the stormwater facilities.

19 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 2.5.3

Future Maintenance and Operations Activities

The City will continue to inspect and maintain facilities as described by the SWPPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Maintenance Agreements and in accordance with NPDES Permit regulations established for City owned equipment and structures. Maintenance checklists will be documented and recorded to reflect the current maintenance and operating status of the facility. Spot checks and annual inspections of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MS4 will continue as scheduled. Maintenance will be performed to resolve any identified issues or water quality concerns. The City will continue to identify and develop methods for reducing stormwater pollution from roadways, parking lots and other City owned facilities in accordance with the NPDES Permit standards. Training seminars will be scheduled to maintain the status of currently certified employees as well as certify other staff as this program continues to develop. The Maintenance and Operations program for preventing pollution generated from City owned facilities will continue to modify its current processes and maintenance programs in an effort to develop efficient practices and methods for pollution reduction. In order to accomplish this objective, the City will utilize training opportunities and informational seminars to learn and educate staff of the potential means and methods of maintenance and operations applicable to City owned facilities. 2.6

MONITORING

The Clean Water Act requires municipalities to obtain an NPDES Permit and to develop a stormwater management programs to prevent harmful pollutants from reaching local water bodies. The current NPDES Phase II Permit cycle (2007-2012) does not require any water quality monitoring for the City, unless it is pursuant to a TMDL requirement or part of the IDDE program. Due to the size of Sumner (population under 10,000), the City is not required to develop a monitoring program. This requirement will be changing with the administration of the next cycle of permits. Ecology is currently proposing to implement a regional monitoring program to include 3 monitoring programs. The first program is called Status and Trends monitoring. This program focuses to monitor the status of the marine near shores and streams of Puget Sound, by sampling and examining muscle growth and habitat, sediment and benthos in the local streams and shorelines. The second proposed program involves Regional Effectiveness Studies. The specific studies to be conducted are yet to be determined. In the 2010 annual report, Permittees were required to submit two questions with selected sites where a monitoring study could be implemented. These questions were gathered and will be used as a starting point for Ecology to determine the studies to be conducted during the next Permit cycle.

20 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 The third program to implement is a Source Identification Program which proposes to develop an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Manual for Western Washington. This Manual would include: a Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) Library, information repository and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for identification and diagnostic monitoring. A data base will also be developed for regional use and provide assistance in identifying locations in need of additional education efforts. These programs will be funded through an allocation process for which participating agencies will be charged an annual cost or fee for the implementation of each program. The estimated annual cost for the City of Sumner to participate in all three programs is approximately $6,254.00. If the City chooses to opt out of an individual program or all three programs, the costs to remain compliant with Permit requirements may increase significantly with the additional funding necessary to purchase equipment, lab testing and staffing resources. The City has until December 1st of 2013 to determine and notify Ecology regarding the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the regional monitoring program. Although the City is not currently required to implement a monitoring program, the City established a Groundwater and Stream Low Flow Monitoring program to provide useful data regarding groundwater gradients, calibrate a hydrologic or hydrogeological model, and evaluate the feasibility of utilizing infiltration techniques such as Low Impact Development (LID) technologies. The Groundwater and Stream Flow Monitoring program consists of 12 shallow groundwater monitoring wells and 4 stream gauges. The groundwater monitoring wells measure the depth of the groundwater and record the data using data loggers. The stream gauges located in Salmon Creek, Middle Creek and Milwaukee Ditch (2) measure depth and velocity of the flow and record using data loggers as well. The goal of this monitoring is to estimate groundwater gradients within the White River Valley to assess whether development has an effect on groundwater flow patterns and stream base flows. The City has also implemented a second monitoring program. This monitoring program has been established to track stormwater runoff from a small Low Impact Development in Sumner. The equipment purchased in 2007 includes a rain gauge, soil saturation meter, weir and other related telemetry and controls. The runoff/weather station was installed in 2008 and has then been programmed to record data regarding the amount of rainfall, and soil moisture to try and determine the infiltration rate and efficiency of the implemented LID system. Data from this station has been collected and is in the process of being converted and formatted to better understand the results of LID implementation. Another monitoring project the City recently initiated is the water quality testing of Salmon Creek. The Department of Ecology in June of 2011 issued a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Fecal Coliform in the Puyallup River Watershed. This report identified Salmon Creek as a tributary in need of fecal coliform reduction in order to meet state water quality standards.

21 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 In response to this report, the City of Sumner began to study and sample various locations on the Creek to identify potential causes and sources of Fecal contamination in the stream. The City and Tacoma Pierce County Health Department are currently in the process of investigating a possible source of fecal contamination of Salmon Creek. The City will need to finalize a QAPP, SOPs and a schedule for Fecal Coliform reduction in Salmon Creek. Samples of the creek and testing of the water will continue until fecal rates are below the water quality standards identified in the TMDL report. Although the City of Sumner is not required to submit an established plan and site locations for future long term monitoring, the City was required to develop a plan for two effectiveness monitoring experiments. This plan identifies two hypotheses to be tested, sites for which the data will be retrieved and an explanation of why these suggested plans would be of significance use to other jurisdictions. This document is included as a part of the annual Permit that was submitted to Ecology for the year 2010. As this Permit cycle comes to an end the City will continue to improve its program components to remain in compliance with Permit standards and regulations. A final draft of the next cycles of NPDES Phase II Permits will be issued during the summer of 2012 with the 1-year re-issuance of the current Permit to be followed by the issuance of the next 5-year Permit.

22 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012

CONCLUSION

The City of Sumner has met all the minimum requirements for the 2011 reporting period. The City has an established stormwater utility that is and will continue to be a funding source for stormwater facility improvements and permit requirements. There are many projects and activities that the City is performing and executing that line up with Permit requirements. In the coming years there will be several more programs to develop and implement to remain in compliance with the issuance of new Phase II NPDES Permits. The Public Education and Outreach component for the SWMP continues to provide materials and opportunities for the public to learn and participate in stormwater related activities. During the next reporting period the City will need to develop and distribute more educational materials to specific target audiences listed in the new Permit. The City also needs to continue documenting the progress of the behaviors of the targeted audiences and compare the results with those from past administered surveys. The City is actively participating in several watershed groups as part of their Public Involvement and Participation component. This relationship will continue and promote involvement of local residents in the development of this SWMP document. The City also needs to continue to create programs and events such as a stencil or emboss “Dump No Waste – Drains to Stream” project near all stormwater inlets, or a restoration project on Salmon Creek to keep local citizens involved and aware of the impacts they can have on the environment. The City has developed a stable Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program. The MS4 maps include the City’s existing infrastructure and will continue to develop as more information and as- builts are gathered. The SMC’s clearly state the procedures for managing and resolving illicit connections and discharges. Documentation of the inspections, spills, feedback and training is currently in place to meet the Permit requirements. The City of Sumner Development Specifications and Standard Details and SMC’s reflect the requirements for Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites. These modifications will bring the City standards into alignment with many future requirements of the Permit. Additional work will be necessary to maintain documentation of inspection and enforcement actions and continue training for City staff according to the Permit requirements. The Maintenance and Operations component of the SWMP has a solid agreement in place for maintaining stormwater facilities and pollution source control plans. The SWPPP’s created for Street Maintenance; Sumner Meadows Golf Links and the Wastewater Treatment Facility have established guidelines and requirements for reducing and preventing pollution during operation and maintenance of Municipal facilities. The City shops operate under an Agreement to Maintain Stormwater Facilities and to Implement a Pollution Source Control Plan.

23 of 24

City of Sumner SWMP 2012 The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monitoring programs are gathering a substantial amount of information about groundwater levels in the area near Sumner. The LID weather station will be analyzed to verify the effectiveness of the implemented Low Impact Development system, infiltration rates and ground water retention. The Fecal Coliform investigation and sampling program will continue to proceed and eliminate sources of contamination until water quality standards are met for the fresh water stream. All of the above information will continue to be analyzed with the intention that conclusions can be extracted regarding the BMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implemented in the City of Sumner.

Other ways to help clean.. IDENTIFY THAT PEST! Rather than immediately reaching for the pesticide to blast away the bugs, do a little background checking on them. Go to Washington State University’s Hortsense website to figure out what’s ailing you and what (non-toxic) options you have.

Did you know that the typical suburban lawn uses over 10,000 gallons of water per year and homeowners use more pesticides per acre than farmers? There’s ways you can “clean up” your own gardening habits to help clean up our rivers and water systems.

PLANS BEFORE PLANTS Putting plants in the right spots to begin with will save you fertilizer, water and frustration later! LONG-TERM LAWNS Quick release fertilizers release nutrients so quickly that a lot of it ends up in your ground water and stormwater (which sends it right into your rivers). Use natural organic or slow-release fertilizers to keep the nutrients in your lawn and out of our water.

DEEP WATER Water infrequently and deeply. You’ll encourage plants to grow deep, healthy roots rather than shallow surface roots. KEEP SOIL LIGHT Spaces keep soil healthy by holding oxygen and water. Give yourself walking paths through your garden to minimize foot traffic or heavy machinery that compacts soil. Also, know that overusing rototillers tills the same depth over and over, creating a compacted layer below that depth.

TAKE OUTDATED MEDICATIONS TO CITY HALL Puget Sound starts here in Sumner. Medication flushed down toilets or washed down sinks canend up in our rivers and streams and ultimately the waters of Puget Sound. Instead, turn in unused medications to the green kiosk in Sumner City Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police lobby, open Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm.

WASHING CARS IN SUMNER WASHING YOUR PERSONAL VEHICLE What can you do to wash your car without dirtying the environment?

1. Go to a commercial car wash. By law, they must run the water through special filters and processes so that it is not sending the soap and grease into the storm drains and rivers.

2. Wash vehicles on lawn or gravel. The soil is a natural filter. By washing your car on the 3. 4. 5.

lawn or gravel, your run-off will be filtered by the ground rather than go into the street to the storm drain and to the river. Divert the water. Many of Sumner’s driveways are adjacent to gravel alleys rather than the street. If you are sure your run-off water is going into a gravel alley or lawn, you’re fine. Use biodegradable soaps. Biodegradable soaps are known to be less harmful to the environment, but still contain oxygen depleting chemicals. Use sparingly and in addition to rather than instead of the other options. Use a California Duster Wax coated cotton strands lift dust without scratching paint. When used often enough, the duster can reduce number of car washings.

CHARITY CAR WASHES What about charity car washes? How can they operate in parking lots within the law?

1. Check out the Car Wash Kit. Sumner has a car wash kit that diverts water from the storm drain and into the sewer system where it will get treated before returning to the river. One kit is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so act early.

2. Fill out the form

(PDF)

to reserve the kit and contact the Permit Center at 253-299-

5530.

3. Reward Clean & Green washes. Car washes using the Car Wash Kit will have a sign that says "Clean & Green." If a charity car wash isn’t on gravel and doesn’t have the sign, pass it by. If you feel comfortable, let them know that you would have been happy to support their cause if they were taking the proper precautions to keep our water clean.

4. Hold car wash on gravel. Same principle applies with the ground filtering the grease and soap out of the water before it returns to our water system.

Whether you enjoy fishing, hiking, boating or simply drinking clean water, this affects you. Every time you wash your car on a driveway that drains onto a street, you’re pouring your car’s grease, grime plus some soap, into our rivers and water system! More about Sumner's stormwater.

Bonney Good SUMNER GROW What Is It?

A humus that is derived from biosolids produced from wastewater treatment. Biosolids are an alternative to chemicals to restore soil health and provide much needed slow release (non-burning) nitrogen to lawns, shrubs, trees and gardens.

Why Use It?

Rather than pay money for chemical fertilizers, this humus is • Safe to use in all gardens even those with pets and children • Seed-free • 60% organic with 4% slow release nitrogen • Enriches the “soil web” to build new soil • Loosens hard soil • Increases fertilizer uptake and utilization • Develops greater root systems • Yields healthier and stronger plants • Increases the water holding capacity of the soil • Stores moisture as surrounding soil loses water • Free!

How Do I Get It?

Sumner Bonney Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility 13114 - 63rd Street E, Sumner WA 98390 253-299-5760

RECOMMENDED USES The material is soil-like in appearance. Keep material dry until ready for use. Consider mixing your own potting soil and adding about 8-10% Bonney Good Sumner Grow to the mix. This gives your plants a slow-release nitrogen feed with valuable trace elements over a period of time, getting new transplants off to a healthier start. Established Lawns Use as a top dressing at about 25 pounds per 1,000 square feet. New Lawns & Sod Applications Use a little less--about 20 lbs per 1,000 square feet. Shrubs Use about 1 cup for small bushes, two for medium sized, three for large. Potted Plants Use a handful for each medium sized plant.

A Free Bucket Full Visit the shed in front of the Wastewater Treatment Facility anytime. (Bring your own buckets--a shovel will be available.)

To Restore Old, Worked Out Gardens Work about 10-20 pounds per 100 square feet into the top 6 inches of soil. This replaces chemical fertilizers.

A Free Truck Load If you’d like to fill your pick-up, call us for an appointment.

Trees Use 2 pounds per inch of diameter spread evenly to the drip line (the tree’s shade at noon).

A Free Dump-Truck Load! We can deliver a full 10-yard bulk load for your yard, commercial landscaping or farm within the Sumner/Bonney Lake area! Call to make arrangements. Please note: we can only provide this option if we have enough material available. Also, a little goes a long way, and many gardeners are surprised at just how much 10 yards really is. We only recommend this option if you have five acres or more to cover.

Proper use of Bonney Good Sumner Grow will give the best desired plant growth as well as protecting public health and the environment. Bonney Good Sumner Grow exceeds the EPA’s Exceptional Quality Standards as well as all Class A Pathogen & Vector attraction requirements.

Directions:

From Traffic Avenue in downtown Sumner, turn onto State Street. Follow State Street, which ends at the facility.

EXHIBIT 2 POLLUTION SOURCE CONTROL PROGRAM WHAT ARE POLLUTION SOURCE CONTROLS, AND WHY ARE THEY NEEDED? Pollution source controls are actions taken by a person or business to reduce the amount of pollution reaching surface and ground waters. Controls, also called "best management practices" (BMPs), include: •

Altering the activity (e.g., substitute non-toxic products, recycle used oil, reroute floor drains to sanitary sewer from storm sewer).

•

Enclosing or covering the activity (e.g., building a roof)

•

Segregating the activity (e.g., diverting runoff away from an area that is contaminated)

•

Routing runoff from the activity to a treatment alternative (e.g., to a wastewater treatment facility, sanitary sewer, or stormwater treatment area).

Pollution source controls are needed because of the contamination found in runoff from commercial areas and the effect of this contamination on aquatic life and human health. Research on urban runoff in the Puget Sound area and elsewhere has found oil and grease, nutrients, organic substances, toxic metals, bacteria, viruses, and sediments at unacceptable levels. Effects of contaminated runoff include closure of shellfish harvesting areas and swimming areas, mortality of young fish and other aquatic organisms, tumors on fish, and impairment of fish reproduction. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DESCRIPTION: Presented here are the remaining service businesses including theaters; hotels/motels; finance, banking, hospitals and medical services; nursing homes, schools and universities, and legal, financial and engineering services. MATERIALS USED AND WASTES GENERATED: The primary concern is runoff from parking areas. Stormwater from parking lots will contain undesirable concentrations of oil and grease, suspended particulates, and metals such as lead, cadmium, and zinc. It will also contain the organic byproducts of engine combustion. Some also produce Dangerous Wastes, for example, hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical services. These materials are stored within the building until disposal. REQUIRED ACTIONS: The following actions shall be taken to ensure that pollution generated on site shall be minimized: 1. Warning signs (e.g., "Dump No Waste--Drains to Stream") shall be painted or embossed on or adjacent to all storm drain inlets. They shall be repainted as needed. R:\Administration\Agreements\SWMA\2011\Stormwater Maintenance Ageement-corporation 7-10.doc Page 20 of 21

Parking lots shall be swept when necessary to remove debris and, at a minimum, twice a year. Use of newer model high-velocity vacuum sweepers is recommended as they are more effective in removing the more harmful smaller particles from paved surfaces.

Sediment removed from ponds/catch basins shall be disposed of in a proper manner. Contact the City for instruction prior to completing this task.

No activities shall be conducted on site that is likely to result in short-term highconcentration discharge of pollution to the stormwater system. Such activities may include, but are not limited to; vehicle washing, vehicle maintenance, and cleaning of equipment used in the periodic maintenance of buildings and paved surfaces.

Employees shall receive basic instruction regarding the control of pollution from commercial operations. Contact the Public Works Department at (253) 863-8300.

Medical offices with high volume customer contacts have potential to influence individuals' water quality practices. Owners are encouraged to have informational brochures provided by the City (see Item 5 above) available in waiting rooms.

IDDE Public Education Efforts Introduction The public education and outreach program for the City of Sumner develops and distributes educational materials to the community. The intent of the program is to provide appropriate information pertaining to common detrimental behavioral patterns, hazards and proper methods for waste disposal and water quality protection. The City accomplishes this objective through a variety of methods: the fabrication and distribution of informative materials, provision of resources and organization of events. A component of the program focuses to provide education on the topic of illicit discharges. Advancement of the City’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) portion of the public education program has progressed significantly over the years. The City of Sumner has come to utilize several approach methods in an attempt to communicate with as many members of the community as possible. A report on the City’s efforts to fulfill this obligation is provided below.

Program Development The program began with the basics, first, educating staff and becoming familiar with the terms illicit discharge and illicit connection. The City utilized dvds/videos and printed materials to learn how to identify problems in the field and the Best Management Practices (BMP’s) or corrective actions for remedying the situation. The City conducted an initial search for educational materials, through online resources and business contacts before creating materials of its own. Several brochures, posters, and pamphlet materials were made available for use through other agencies. In an effort to avoid “re-creating the wheel” and preserve valuable resources, the City chose to make use of the prefabricated materials and reinforce the message(s) being portrayed, with the hopes of creating a uniform regional message across local jurisdictions. It was suggested by Ecology’s Permit Manager, that the City initiate a group where NPDES Permit representatives could share resources, ideas, questions and have discussions on topics pertaining to the Permit. This would later be known as the South Sound NPDES Coordinators Group, which continues to meet bi-monthly to discuss Permit issues. One of the regular agenda items at these meetings is Public Education. After gathering information, materials and educating staff, the City established the initial messages it wanted to impart to the community based on Permit requirements and then determined the communication techniques available for use to convey the messages to the community.

CITY OF SUMNER

Methods of Communication As most of the materials gathered through internet searches and business contacts were in the form of paper materials, brochures, pamphlets, etc. The simplest method to deliver these messages to the community was through the internet. The City utilized the municipal website to post informative materials for those with internet capabilities to view and obtain stormwater education. In recognizing that not all citizens of Sumner would have internet capabilities, the City took a secondary approach and made use of the Community Connection Newsletter that is mailed out quarterly to 6,000 residents in the community. Due to legal concerns with the utilization of specific websites such as Twitter and Facebook, the City of Sumner has opted not to use these sites as a tool for public education at this time. Alternative methods the City has used to provide stormwater education is through the organization and development of events and relationships with local businesses that are directly related to stormwater concerns. Measurement of Behavioral Change In February of 2009 the City of Sumner along with Pierce County Public Works Department of Surface Water Management and 5 other cities of Pierce County contributed to a random-sample telephone survey to obtain information on Public Attitudes, Awareness and Behaviors regarding water quality. The survey was administered in two phases. Phase one consisted of a stratified random sample of 700 heads of household throughout Pierce County. Overall 100 interviews were performed in each of the 7 County Council Districts. The second phase of the survey included additional sampling in the six participating communities to increase the individual sampling and respondents in each municipality. Results from this survey indicated that the majority of those interviewed thought local waters were in good to excellent condition. Most heads of household were aware of pollution problems, but only half knew that stormwater is not treated and thought most pollution was attributed to industrial sources rather than residential sources. Due to budget constraints and the complexities of conducting a similar survey, a smaller survey was developed and made available to the City of Sumner in an effort to gather follow-up data on behavioral changes based on program efficiency. The response was very limited, but did provide some feedback on the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts towards stormwater treatment and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs for education. As a way of measuring the effectiveness of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internet postings, the City acquired software called Google Analytics. This program can count the number of times a webpage is viewed. The information gathered by the software can later be used to determine which topics are of interest and which websites might require additional work to attract viewers.

CITY OF SUMNER

Past Efforts After reviewing the results of the survey conducted throughout Pierce County in early 2009, it was apparent that public education needed to revive some of stormwaters basics, as close to 50% of the households interviewed were not aware that stormwater is not treated. The City implemented the following events, trainings, brochures and informative pamphlets for use in the community. •

Conclusion In reviewing the development of the City’s Public Education program, the challenge becomes apparent in finding various cost effective methods to provide educational materials with the intent of influencing all types of people, and places of business. In order to create a general awareness, the materials and messages must be clear and concise. Information displayed and distributed should have a common

CITY OF SUMNER

theme and message to convey that are easily understood by a variety of cultures and businesses. As methods are tested to verify effectiveness, new methods will need to be established to replace ineffective means by which to inform the public. There are a vast number of educational tools available, the City of Sumner will continue to experiment with different methods and modify methods within the community to achieve a greater understanding of the importance of good housekeeping and stormwater management in order to reduce the damages to water quality in the rivers and streams of Western Washington.

Appendix G

S8.C1.b SWMP Effectiveness Monitoring Plan #1 TESC at Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site Statement of the question: Are the temporary erosion control methods and Best Management Practices (BMP’s) implemented at the Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site providing enough stormwater treatment and runoff control from the construction site?

Hypothesis: The designed temporary erosion and sediment controls (TESC) mechanisms implemented at the Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site provided enough sediment treatment and control of stormwater runoff.

Brief description of study: An inventory of implemented erosion control mechanisms will be collected from the site and analyzed to confirm that Permit requirements have been satisfied. Water samples will then be collected at specified intervals from the discharge points of the site. The samples will be tested for turbidity to verify the temporary erosion control methods and BMP’s implemented are in fact providing enough sediment treatment, before discharging to other waterways and the City of Sumner’s MS4.

Significance of issue to the City of Sumner: Sediment transportation can cause several potentially harmful issues for water quality. Large amounts of suspended solids can affect habitat for aquatic life, provide transportation of pollutants and metals, and change the capacity of containment systems or directional flow of a river, stream or waterway. Significant quantities of sediment can also cause inefficiency or failure of stormwater facilities and MS4 systems. This impairment of the system in effect increases the intervals and costs for maintenance to attain proper function, operation, and remain in compliance with the NPDES Permit guidelines.

How monitoring results might be significant to other MS4’s: The Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site provides a topographically unique study. The sites location rests on a vertically challenging hillside unlike a majority of development sites throughout the region. The information gathered from this site and study will provide new data relating to the types of TESC required to manage sediment transportation resulting from distinct sites such as the Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site.

Selected parameters for measurement: This study will analyze the following parameters to determine the effectiveness of the temporary erosion control mechanisms implemented on site. Complete an inventory of implemented TESC mechanisms. Design requirements for TESC at new and redevelopment construction sites. WADOE Construction Stormwater General Permit requirements and standards. Turbidity will be monitored at discharge locations and evaluated with the WADOE Construction Stormwater General Permit standards for stormwater discharge.

Proposed monitoring site: The Rainier Park of Industry Division 4 site is located at (approximately) 3600 West Valley Hwy, Sumner. Parcel numbers (0420141008, 0420141007, 0420141001, 6025060060, and 6025060020). The site is currently in the TESC phase.

Expected modifications to management actions depending on the outcome of the hypothesis: The results of this monitoring experiment will indicate whether or not action is necessary to manage a site with failing temporary erosion and sediment control mechanisms. The verification of TESC failure will require an adjustment to current monitoring and inspection practices and will be reflected in our Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). SWMP adjustments would incorporate an increase of inspection frequency and spot checks in response to verification of failed TESC. If results indicate the sites TESC is providing proper treatment according to the WADOE Construction Stormwater General Permit standards and guidelines and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phase II NPDES Permit guidelines, then no additional action would be required.

S8.C1.b SWMP Effectiveness Monitoring Plan #2 LID Implementation Statement of the question: With an elevated groundwater table and Puyallup-Sultan soils, is the Low Impact Development (LID) located at 153rd Ave. Ct. E. an effective stormwater treatment system to reduce amounts of stormwater discharge?

Hypothesis: The monitoring station installed as a measuring component of the LID implemented on 153rd Ave. Ct. E. will provide data that validates LID as an effective mechanism in reducing stormwater discharge in areas with high groundwater table and Puyallup-Sultan soils.

Brief description of study: This experimental study will utilize an existing LID and monitoring station to determine the effectiveness of the LID in reducing stormwater discharge. Data from a rain gauge, soil saturation monitor, ground monitoring wells, and a weir will be retrieved and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the LID system.

Significance of issue to the City of Sumner: Section S5.C4. of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit which addresses controlling and reducing stormwater discharge has been a significant and cumbersome subject matter of interest for many permitted jurisdictions. Managing stormwater discharge and reducing pollution can be simplified when design and soil parameters allow the use of infiltration. Since the innovative fabrication of LID stormwater technologies, this type of stormwater management has quickly become the primary method implemented regionally to reduce stormwater discharge. However, challenges occur to determine, based on geologic structure of a region, the effectiveness and feasibility of LID implementation.

How monitoring results might be significant to other MS4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: The results of this experiment may provide valuable LID effectiveness information regionally to other jurisdictions with similar LID design and geological composition. The data compiled from this study could also provide significant information relating to reducing stormwater discharge by combining LID with other stormwater facility technologies.

Selected parameters for measurement: This study will utilize the following parameters to measure the efficiency of the LID system implemented at the 153rd Ave. Ct. E. development. Surface water introduced into the system will be monitored using a rain gauge mounted on top of the monitoring station located at the LID housing development. Infiltration rate and soil type will be determined. This information will also be documented for regional assessments and comparisons of this experiment. Ground water discharge will be measured with the use of a weir located below the monitoring system to determine the amount of water leaving the site. Soil saturation can be measured utilizing a sensor to determine soil retention of water. Ground water monitoring wells and probes will be used to measure the fluctuation and ground water levels throughout this experimental study.

Proposed monitoring site: The LID site selected for monitoring is a housing development located on 153rd Ave. Ct. E. This development has a designed LID system that was implemented in 2007. A weather station with various probes and measuring instruments has been installed to record data from each instrument and transmit that data to a FTP site. The raw data can then be downloaded from the FTP site for analysis.

Expected modifications to management actions depending on the outcome of the hypothesis: The validation and verification of LID serving as an effective stormwater device for reducing stormwater discharge from sites would activate the public education component of our Stormwater Management Plan. The City would utilize the positive results of our monitoring experiment as an informative tool for providing promotional materials to targeted audiences indicating the effectiveness of LID in the City of Sumner and potentially other similar regions. If the results of this monitoring experiment reveal LID as an ineffective tool for reducing stormwater discharge, the information from this experiment would not be exploited within the public education component of our Stormwater Management Plan.

Low Impact Development Identified Barriers and Resolutions Summary In response to the escalation of Low Impact Development (LID) in the field of stormwater technologies, the City of Sumner has prepared and implemented LID language in the Development Specifications and Standard Details Manual as well as The Sumner Municipal code. These significant steps towards implementing LID jurisdictionally, does not detract from the obstacles the City and developers will encounter during phases of design and implementation. The following describes several challenges the City of Sumner is confronted with regarding LID implementation. a. High ground water table – The City of Sumner exhibits the presence and characteristic of a high ground water table that counteracts the infiltrating properties of implemented LID. The feasibility and selection process for implementation of LID technologies will need to analyze this feature carefully. The City and developers will likely have limited applicable technologies. A potential solution to offset this challenge could be the use of under-drains and gravel storage containment beneath pervious surfaces, to allow for increased infiltration very near the surface. b. Types of soils and infiltration rates- Puyallup-Sultan soils are composed most of the Sumner basin. The soils composition consists of fine sandy loams, silty clay loam, and fine sand, which are well draining soils. Similar to septic drain fields, most LID requires an infiltration component. Due to the location of Sumner in a valley floor and the 35-50 inches of annual precipitation, soils are considered moderately wet. To compensate for saturated soils and slow infiltration rates, LID containment facilities including but not limited to bioretention facilities and gravel storage facilities could be implemented to reduce runoff and stormwater discharge. c. Cost – With a down economy and slow development in many jurisdictions, challenges occur to implement LID where these technologies are not officially required. Cost and Municipal Codes and Standards drive the market and selection of implemented stormwater technologies. Focus and effort will need to be concentrated on promoting the benefits and qualities of LID, to create appeal. d. Grade – The City of Sumner is located on a valley floor. The topography of the land is nearly level, 0-3% grade with Puyallup series soils, shallow surface waters and low flow. Any free drainage available, such as from sloped surfaces is typically inadequate for the implementation of various LID technologies. LID systems such as Bioretention facilities (Rain Gardens) or gravel storage

LID Report

CITY OF SUMNER

containment beneath pervious surfaces can be implemented to allow ample time for infiltration to occur. e. Fire Code- Fire code 503.2.1 requires road widths of no less than 20 feet to safely support trucks and equipment. This code can not be modified by the City to reduce impervious surfaces. However, the City could develop regulations or guidelines for the use of LID materials such as permeable pavement. f. Short Plats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Plats with 4 lots or less, follow the same guidelines and regulations as other developments, but are not typically required to implement storm facilities for the public areas of the plat. The City could promote Bioretention facilities for landscape design or permeable pavements for driveways to reduce the amounts of runoff and discharge. g. Zoning- Zoning regulations have reduced the sizes of lots significantly to increase urban density. Small sized lots increase the difficultly associated with implementing LID to the maximum extent feasible. Solutions are similar to those of the short plats, promoting smaller LID facilities, perimeter draining, Bioretention facilities, permeable pavers or pavement.

LID practices currently available and reasonable to implement soon

The City of Sumner has adopted the following technical guidance manuals as design standards and specifications for LID feasibility and implementation: 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Puget Sound Partnership/Puget Sound Action Team – Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound WSU Pierce County Extension Rain Garden: Handbook for Western Washington Homeowners These guidance manuals provide an inventory of feasible LID technologies and criteria for design and installation. Some of the LID technologies that have recently and successfully been implemented in the City of Sumner include: Commercial Site (N. of 24th and W.V.H): Pervious concrete and gravel storage/infiltration facility. Plat (Bach, S. of Main): Lot includes: splash blocks, infiltrating soils, and perimeter drains (under drains). Commercial Site (E.V.H. and Elm): Future plans and design for pervious concrete lot and gravel storage/infiltration facility. 2.

Potential or planned non-structural actions and LID techniques

The City recently revised its Infiltration Packet to include a new LID component called Bioretention Facilities or “Rain Gardens”. This packet was reworked to allow the homeowner to design an infiltration system without hiring engineering services. The packet also includes sections on infiltration trenches, dispersion, and splash blocks. This packet can be additionally modified, as supplementary LID components become applicable. Through the adoption process of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, the City of Sumner developed Municipal Code, Development Specifications and Standard Details and adopted other guidance manuals regulating the use and application of LID technologies. The City modified its Standards for Stormwater System Improvements to indicate LID Best Management Practices (BMP’s) as the first method to utilize in an order of preference for flow control. Another modification, the Stormwater Site Plans also requires the engineer to identify and include in the Site Plans, the feasibility of Low Impact Development practices. The Standards also introduced a section on LID inspection practices. As the Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES Permit) requirements for LID implementation continue to grow and become more stringent, the City of Sumner will develop and amend Municipal code and Standards to remain in compliance with NPDES Permit guidelines.

The City of Sumnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) includes a Public Education component, requiring the development and distribution of educational materials to targeted audiences. The City plans to develop and expand its educational materials to elaborate on the benefits and application of LID. 3.

Goals and metrics to identify, promote, and measure LID use

Objectives for identifying and promoting LID within the City of Sumner will remain similar to current objectives of educating the public and encouraging LID where feasible, until new regulations are identified in the next issuance of the NPDES Permit. Subsequent to the new Permit being issued, goals will be re-evaluated and established in accordance with Permit requirements and guidelines. In support of LID implementation throughout Sumner, the City installed a monitoring system for a development constructed with LID components. The monitoring system was implemented in 2007 to measure the correlation of discharge and rainfall in real time while utilizing LID technologies. The site is a 10 house subdivision with perimeter under-draining systems. The City plans to use the data retrieved from the monitoring station to determine effectiveness of the LID system during dry weather seasons. The City is currently coordinating and collaborating with Pierce County and other local jurisdictions to create a regional LID brochure. These brochures will include pictures from various sites throughout Pierce County and contain information specific to each jurisdiction. The goal of this project is to create a stormwater message and piece of educational material to be distributed regionally. Another educational program the City is arranging to establish is a Rain Garden Program. The City is in the process of gathering information on identifying applicable areas, design, and installation of these bio-infiltration systems. Next steps will include: educational materials for the public and acquiring interested neighborhoods for implementation. The City is also working to educate and train staff on design review, proper installation, inspection and maintenance of LID and stormwater treatment technologies. As seminars and classes become available, the City will select applicable trainings for enrollment. As a measurement of LID usage in Sumner, the City can track the issuance of permits for new or redevelopment. 4.

Potential or planned schedules to require or implement the non-structural and LID techniques on a broader scale in the future

To comply with the NPDES Permit, the City will continue to promote and educate the public regarding the benefits, treatment, and practices of LID implementation. As new technology is introduced, the City will develop new educational materials explaining the new technologies. The SWMP will be updated to reflect these efforts.
