INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview and Background The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the federal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protect and restore waters for "fishable, swimmable" uses. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I communities and must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Puyallup's 1990 census falling below the 100,000 threshold, the City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must now comply with the Phase II Permit, along with Puyallup, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the State's waterbodies streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of "non-point source" pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable" (MEP) through application of Permit-specified "best management practices" (BMPs). The practices specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management Program (S\'VMP) and grouped under the following components: • Public Education and Outreach • Public Involvement • Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination • Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites • Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operation and Maintenance • Monitoring The Permit requires the City to report annually (March 31 st of each year) on progress in S\\lMP Program implementation for the prior year. The Permit also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP Program activities for the coming year. Implementation of various Permit conditions is phased throughout the five-year Permit term from FeblualY 16, 2007 through Febluaty 15, 2012. The Permit will be revised and reissued at the end of this period. This report is the City's Draft Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) document. The remainder of this 2010 SWMP document describes actions Puyallup will take to maintain compliance over the fourth year of the Permit term Februaty 16, 2010 through Februaty 16, 2011). 1-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2010 SWMP 1.2 Phased Permit Requirements Ecology began work on the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington in the fall of 2004 and posted a preliminary draft for public comment on May 16, 2005. Ecology released a formal draft of the Permit in Febmaty 2006 and issued the final Permit on January 17, 2007. The permit was modified on June 17, 2009 to implement the outcomes of appeals. The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on Februaty 16, 2007 and expires on Febmaty 15, 2012. Ecology is phasing in many of the Permit requirements over the five-year Permit term. On March 31 of each year, beginning in 2008, the City must: 1. Submit its SWMP document to Ecology describing compliance activities planned for the coming year. 2. Submit an annual report documenting Permit compliance activities for the previous calendar year. 3. Post the SWMP document and annual report on the web. This SWMP document includes the following attachments: • Appendix A - Acronyms and Definitions from the Permit. The \Vestern Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit and additional information can be found on Ecology's website: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/Programs/wq/stormwater/municipal/phaseIIww/wwphiipermit.html. 1.3 Department Responsibilities The Permit requirements affect departments across the City organization. One difficulty in assigning lead departments to address Permit sections is that those sections do not divide cleanly along department divisional lines. To encourage collaboration and efficient use of resources the City plans to charter implementation teams for each Permit component. These teams would consist of members from affected departments. Those departments include City Management (0111), Engineering, Information Technology (IT), Finance, Water Pollution, Buildings, Public Works Legal, and Human Resources (HR). While the teams for each task may be cross-departmental, the lead department has been identified in the task tables for each Permit component in the following sections. 1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance Issues Stormwater discharges covered under the Permit are required to implement actions necessaty to achieve the pollutant reductions called for in applicable Applicable are which have been approved by the EPA before the issuance date of the permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the Rermittee's application is received by Ecology. Information on Ecology's TMDL program is available on Ecology's website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl. All approved by EPA before February 15, 2006, were reviewed by Ecology to determine whether stormwater including municipal stormwater sources were identified in the TMDL. When most of these were developed, municipal stormwater was considered a subset of non-point discharges, rather than a permitted discharge. As a result, very few statewide contain requirements for municipal stormwater sources. Few completed to date have established load allocations or waste load allocations for municipal stormwater discharges covered under the Permit. Ecology is interpreting TMDL requirements as follows: 1-2 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2010 SWMP • For where stormwater was not identified as a source of the pollutants of concern, or if all of the sources were defined in the TMDL, Ecology considers the MS4 not to be a significant contributor of pollutants. • Where stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and the TMDL or implementation plans developed to support the TMDL identified control measures were less than or equivalent to the requirements of this permit, Ecology sets a narrative effluent limit: "compliance with the permit compliance constitutes compliance with the TMDL." • If stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and specific WLAs, LAs or control measures were established, Ecology must develop effluent limits in addition to the other requirements of the permit. These effluent limits may be narrative or numeric depending on the control measures set by the TMDL or implementation plans. \V'here a TI'vIDL or the detailed implementation plan developed for the TMDL identifies actions or activities beyond what is required by this permit, Ecology has identified the additional requirements in Appendix 2 of the permit for all TNIDLs approved by EPA prior to Februaty 15, 2006. Appendix 2 of the permit lists the cities and counties affected by the TMDL. The City of Puyallup has not been listed in Appendix 2. 1.5 Document Organization The content in this document is based upon Permit requirements and Ecology's Draft Guidance for City and County Annual Reports for Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permits. The remainder of the Stormwater Management Program document is organized similarly to the Permit: • Section 2.0 addresses Permit requirements for administration of the City's Stormwater Management Program for 2010. • Section 3.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Education and Outreach for 2010. • Section 4.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Involvement and Participation for 2010. • Section 5.0 addresses Permit requirements for Illicit Discharge Detection .and Elimination for 2010. • Section 6.0 addresses Permit requirements for Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites for 2010. • Section 7.0 addresses Permit requirements for Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations for 2010. • Section 8.0 addresses Permit requirements for the Water Quality Monitoring section of the Permit for 2010. Each section includes a summaty of the relevant Permit requirements and a description of current and planned compliance activities. 1·3 ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF PUYALLUP 2010 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION This Section describes Permit requirements related to overall Stormwater Management Program administration, including current and planned compliance activities. 2.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section SS.A) requires the City to: • Develop and implement a Stormwater Management Program and prepare written documentation (SWMP document) for submittal to Ecology on March 31, 2008; and update the SWMP annually thereafter. The purpose of the Stormwater Management Program is to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal stormwater system to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) thereby protecting water quality. The Stormwater Management Program is to include the actions and activities described in Sections 3 through 8 of this S\VMP document. • Submit annual reports beginning in 2008 to Ecology by March 31 st (for the previous calendar year). These reports are to summarize SWMP implementation status and present information from assessment and evaluation activities conducted during the reporting period. 2.2 Current Activities The City currently has in place activities and programs that meet the Permit requirements. Current activities associated with the above Permit requirements include: • The City is on track to comply with Ecology's requirements for submittal of the SWMP documentation by March 31, 2010. The Public Works Department, with the assistance of an internal Steering Committee, is currently leading City development of the future planned activities. • The City has set up the systems for tracking training. • The City has defIned its strategy for cost tracking. • The City is on track to comply with Ecology's requirements for submittal of the third Annual Report and S\VMP by March 31, 2010. 2.3 Planned Activities Puyallup has positioned itself well to maintain compliance as Ecology phases in the future Permit deadlines. Table 2-1 presents the proposed work plan for the 2010 SWMP administration activities. These tasks were developed through an iterative process of interviews and workshops with staff from affected City departments. 2·1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.

PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH This Section describes the Permit requirements related to Public Education and Outreach, including current and planned compliance activities. 3.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section SS.C.l) requires the City to: • Prioritize and target education and outreach activities to specified audiences, including general public, businesses, residents/homeowners, landscapers, property managers, engineers, contractors, developers, review staff and land use planners and other City employees to reduce or eliminate behaviors and practices that cause or contribute to adverse stormwater impacts. • Have an outreach program that is designed to achieve measurable improvements in the target audience's understanding of the problem and what they can do to solve it. • Track and maintain records of public education and outreach activities. 3.2 Current Activities The City's Education and Outreach Program was developed in 2008 and is detailed in the '2009 City of Puyallup Stormwater Education and Outreach Plan.' That plan outlined the outreach activities for each year of the permit cycle. Several of the activities undertaken in 2009 are outlined below: • Revitalized the City 'Stormwater Management' webpage. This included: uploading new information and documents, adding public service announcements, important updates about stormwater education and outreach events, and the number for the City's Illicit Discharge Hotline. • The City has dedicated one entire page in every issue of Puyallup Today, our quarterly newsletter, to stormwater education and outreach issues. • The City helped produce a segment of "Rainier Country" broadcast on Channel 22 which highlighted rain gardens. • In cooperation with Stewardship Partners, Pierce Conservation District Stream Team and WSU Extension presented a rain garden and natural lawn care class that was attended by over 100 residents. • With the same team members and volunteers, installed seven rain gardens in the front yards of homeowners on 8th Avenile N\V'. Ciscoe Morris broadcast his radio program "Gardening with Ciscoe" from the site during the installation. • The City held a series of natural yard care workshops in the fall of 2009 that educated homeowners about yard care techniques that are protective of water quality. • Purchased car wash kits and presented the program to City Council. The Daffodil Festival group successfully used one of the kits at the South Hill Mall. • Purchased car wash vouchers from Puget Sound Car Wash Association and distributed them to participants at various stormwater education and outreach events. Also some vouchers distributed to staff as part of the IDDE Training program. 3·1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 3: Public Education and Outreach City of Puyallup 2010 SWMP 3.3 Planned Activities The City plans on developing and building its Education and Outreach program in 2010.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT This Section describes the Permit requirements related to Public Involvement, including current and planned compliance activities. 4.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section SS.C.2) requires the City to: • Provide ongoing opportunities for public involvement through advis01Y boards and COmtn1SSlOnS, watershed committees, public participation in developing rate stlUctures and budgets, stewardship programs, environmental activities or other similar activities. The public must be able to participate in the decision-making processes involving the development, implementation and update of the Stormwater Management Program. • Make the S\V'MP document and Annual Report available to the public, including posting on the City's website. Make other documents required to be submitted to Ecology in response to Permit conditions available to the public. 4.2 Current Activities The current compliance activities associated with the above Permit requirements include: • The City implemented public involvement activities intended to meet the Permit requirements for public involvement in development of its fIrst update to the S\V'MP. This process involved presentation to the Planning Commission at a session open to the public. The draft SWMP was made available on the City's website for comment prior to the Planning Commission meeting. • The City defIned its process for annual SWNIP updates, which includes discussions at Planning Commission sessions open to the public and publication on the website soliciting public input. • The City posted the Draft 2010 SWMP document and the 2009 Annual Report on the City website. 4.3 Planned Activities Puyallup will offer the public opportunities to be involved in the decision making process on stormwater issues. Actions recommended for continued compliance include: • Make most current S\V'MP document and Annual Report available to public by posting on the City website. • The City summarizes associated activities in its Annual Report by March 31 st, of each year • The City will be conducting a Utility Rate Study in 2010 which will be available to the public via workshops and public hearings.

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION This Section describes the Permit requirements related to Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), including current and planned compliance activities. 5.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section SS.C.3) requires the City to: • Implement an ongoing program to detect and remove illicit discharges, connections and improper disposal, including any spills into the municipal separate storm sewers owned or operated by the City. An illicit discharge means "any discharge to a municipal storm system that is not composed entirely of stormwater " and illicit connection means "any man-made conveyance that is connected to a municipal storm system without a permit (excluding roof drains and other similar type connections) such as sanitalY sewer connections, floor drains, etc." • Develop a storm sewer system map, have ordinances that prohibit illicit discharges, and create a program to detect and address illicit discharges. • Publicly list and publicize a hotline or other local telephone number for public reporting of spills and other illicit discharges. Track illicit discharge reports and actions taken in response through close-out, including enforcement actions. • Train staff on proper IDDE response procedures and processes and to recognize and report illicit discharges. • Summarize all illicit discharges and connections reported to the City and response actions taken, including enforcement actions, in the Annual Report; including updates to the SWMP document. 5.2 Current Activities The City currently implements activities and programs that meet many of the Permit requirements. The current compliance activities associated with the above Permit requirements include: • The City currently has an IDDE program. • The City has an emergency phone number posted on the City's website that allows citizens to report illicit discharges or illicit dumping. • The City is currently a subscriber to Pierce County's geographic information system (GIS) and has most of the information and data necessaly to create the required maps. The vast majotity of the stormwater system has been mapped in GIS. • City code adopted in August 2009 specifies IDDE program and enforcement provisions. • The City summarizes associated activities in its Annual Report by March 31 st. of each year. • The City has received a Department of Ecology grant and is using the funds to develop a GIS map of the City's storm sewer system. This work is complete and is being incorporated into the CMMS system. • First Responder training was conducted in August 2009 and will be updated as needed. Eight key staff attended the training. 5-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 5: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination City of Puyallup 2010 SWMP 5.3 Planned Activities Puyallup conducts some illicit discharge detection and elimination activities but will need to expand current efforts in order to maintain compliance as Ecology phases in Permit requirements.

MONITORING This Section describes the Permit requirements related to water quality monitoring, including current and planned activities. 8.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section S8) does not require municipalities to conduct water quality sampling or other testing during this Permit term, with the following exceptions: • Water quality monitoring required for compliance with [total maximum daily pollutant loads, a.k.a., water quality clean-up plans]. The City's current Permit does not include TMDL requirements because there were no EPA-approved affecting the City prior to the cut-off date (February 2006) for inclusion in the current Permit. • Any sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to the Permit's Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination conditions. • Preparation for future, comprehensive, long-term water quality monit01'ing efforts consistent with current Phase I monitoring requirements. According to the Permit, this program would include two components: 1) general stormwater quality monitoring and, 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring. The stormwater monitoring is intended to characterize stormwater runoff quantity and quality at a limited number of locations. This characterization would allow for analysis of pollutants and changes in conditions over time and across the City. The Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring is intended to improve stormwater management efforts by evaluating various stormwater controls. Results of the monitoring will be used to support the adaptive management process for improving programs over time. • Identification of two outfalls where permanent stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for future monitoring (by the end of the Permit term and with the 4th Annual Report). The two outfalls must represent commercial, high-density residential, and industrial land uses. The monitoring shall include plans for stormwater, sediment or receiving water monitoring of physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics. • Identification of two suitable SWMP Program questions and sites where targeted SWMP Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted together with development of a monitoring plan for these questions and sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring should be prepared to answer the following types of questions: • How effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions? • Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome? In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in Annual Reports: • A description of stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations conducted by 8-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 8: Monitoring City of Puyallup 2010 SWMP other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information gathered or received shall be included in the Annual Report. • An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices identified by the City for components of the Stormwater Management Program; and changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the practices that were previously selected to implement the Stormwater Management Program and why those changes are desirable. 8.2 Current Activities The City, in partnership with the Puyallup Tribe and Department of Ecology, conducted a ls-month monitoring program for the Clarks Creek Watershed Pollution Reduction Project. The monitoring results were used to identify pollutant sources and estimate pollutant loads. The results of the monitoring are described in the Clarks Creek Watershed Poiiution Reductioll Prqjed Submittal Rep01t (DRS and Brown and Caldwell, Febtuaty 2005). 8.3 Planned Activities Puyallup will likely need to create a Water Quality Monitoring Program to maintain compliance during the next Permit term. Except for summarizing monitoring activities no actions are required until 2010. Table 8-1 presents the work plan for 2010 SWMP monitoring activities. These tasks were developed through an iterative process of interviews and workshops with staff from affected City departments.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview and Background The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the federal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protect and restore waters for "fishable, swimmable" uses. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I communities and must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Puyallup's 1990 census falling below the 100,000 threshold, the City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must now comply with the Phase II Permit, along with Puyallup, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the State's waterbodies streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of "non-point source" pollutants to the "ma.ximum extent practicable" (MEP) through application of Permit-specified "best management practices" (BMPs). The practices specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and grouped under the following components: • Public Education and Outreach • Public Involvement • Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination • Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites • Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operation and Maintenance • Monitoring The Permit requires the City to report annually (March 31 5t of each year) on progress in SWMP Program implementation for the prior year. The Permit also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP Program activities for the coming year. Implementation of various Permit conditions is phased throughout the five-year Permit term from Februaty 16, 2007 through February 15, 2012. The Permit will be revised and reissued at the end of this period. This report is the City'S Draft Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) document. The remainder of this 2009 SWMP document describes actions Puyallup will take to maintain compliance over the third year of the Permit term February 16, 2009 through February 16,2010). 1-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2009 SWMP 1.2 Phased Permit Requirements Ecology began work on the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington in the fall of 2004 and posted a prelimina1Y draft for public comment on May 16, 2005. Ecology released a formal draft of the Permit in February 2006 and issued the final Permit on January 17, 2007. The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on February 16, 2007 and expires on February 15, 2012. Ecology is phasing in many of the Permit requirements over the five-year Permit term. On March 31 of each year, beginning in 2008, the City must: 1. Submit its SWMP document to Ecology describing compliance activities planned for the coming year. 2. Submit an annual report documenting Permit compliance activities for the previous calendar year. 3. Post the SWMP document and annual report on the web. This SWMP document includes the following attachments: • Appendix A - Acronyms and Definitions from the Permit. The Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit and additional information can be found on Ecology's website: http://www.ecy.wa.gov Iprograms/wq/stormwaterlmunicipallphase II ww Iww ph u- permit.html. 1.3 Department Responsibilities The Permit requirements affect departments across the City organization. One difficulty in assigning lead departments to address Permit sections is that those sections do not divide cleanly along department divisional lines. To encourage collaboration and efficient use of resources the City plans to charter implementation teams for each Permit component. These teams would consist of members from affected departments. Those departments include City Management (eM), Engineering, Information Technology (11), Finance, Water Pollution, Buildings, Public Works (PW), Legal, and Human Resources (HR). While the teams for each task may be cross-departmental, the lead department has been identified in the task tables for each Permit component in the following sections. 1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance Issues Stormwater discharges covered under the Permit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the pollutant reductions called for in applicable Applicable are which have been approved by the EPA before the issuance date of the permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the permittee's application is received by Ecology. Information on Ecology's TMDL program is available on Ecology'S website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl. All approved by EPA before February 15, 2006, were reviewed by Ecology to determine whether stormwater including municipal stormwater sources were identified in the TMDL. When most of these were developed, municipal stormwater was considered a subset of non-point discharges, raciler than a permitted discharge. As a result, very few statewide contain requirements for municipal stormwater sources. Few completed to date have established load allocations or waste load allocations for municipal stormwater discharges covered under the Permit. Ecology is interpreting TMDL requirements as follows: • For where stormwater was not identified as a source of cile pollutants of concern, or if all of the sources were defined in the TMDL, Ecology considers the MS4 not to be a significant contributor of pollutants. 1·2 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2009 SWMP • Where stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and the TMDL or implementation plans developed to support the TMDL identified control measures were less than or equivalent to the requirements of this permit, Ecology sets a narrative effluent limit: "compliance with the permit compliance constitutes compliance with the TMDL." • If stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and specific WLAs, LAs or control measures were established, Ecology must develop effluent limits in addition to the other requirements of the permit. These effluent limits may be narrative or numeric depending on the control measures set by the TI'vIDL or implementation plans. Where a TMDL or the detailed implementation plan developed for the TMDL identifies actions or activities beyond what is required by this permit, Ecology has identified the additional requirements in Appendix 2 of the permit for all approved by EPA prior to February 15, 2006. Appendix 2 of the permit lists the cities and counties affected by the TMDL. The City of Puyallup has not been listed in Appendix 2. 1.5 Document Organization The content in this document is based upon Permit requirements and Ecology's Draft Guidance for City and County Annual Reports for \Vestern Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permits. The remainder of the Stormwater Management Program document is organized similarly to the Permit: • Section 2.0 addresses Permit requirements for administration of the City's Stormwater Management Program for 2009. • Section 3.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Education and Outreach for 2009. • Section 4.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Involvement and Participation for 2009. • Section 5.0 addresses Permit requirements for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination for 2009. • Section 6.0 addresses Permit requirements for Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites for 2009. • Section 7.0 addresses Permit requirements for Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations for 2009. • Section 8.0 addresses Permit requirements for the Water Quality Monitoring section of the Permit for 2009. Each section includes a summary of the relevant Permit requirements and a description of current and planned compliance activities. 1·3 ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF PUYALLUP 2009 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION TIlls Section describes Pern1it requirements related to overall Stormwater Management Program administration, including current and planned compliance activities. 2.1 Permit Requirements The Pern1it (Section SS.A) requires the City to: • Develop and implement a Stormwater Management Program and prepare written documentation (SWMP document) for subn1ittal to Ecology on March 31, 2008; and update the SWMP annually thereafter. The purpose of the Stormwater Management Program is to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal stormwater system to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) thereby protecting water quality. The Stormwater Management Program is to include the actions and activities described in Sections 3 through 8 of this SWMP document. • Subn1it annual reports beginning in 2008 to Ecology by March 31 st (for the previous calendar year). These reports are to summarize SWMP implementation status and present information from assessment and evaluation activities conducted during the reporting period. 2.2 Current Activities The City currently has in place activities and programs that meet the Pern1it requirements. Current activities associated with the above Pern1it requirements include: • The City is on track to comply with Ecology's requirements for subn1ittal of the SWMP documentation by March 31, 2009. The Engineering Department, with the assistance of an internal Steering Committee, is currently leading City development of the future planned activities. • The City has set up the systems for tracking training. • The City has defined its strategy for cost tracking. • The City is on track to comply with Ecology's requirements for subn1ittal of the second Annual Report and SWMP by March 31, 2009. 2.3 Planned Activities Puyallup has positioned itself well to maintain compliance as Ecology phases in the future Pern1it deadlines. Table 2-1 presents the proposed work plan for the 2009 SWMP administration activities.

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION This Section describes the Permit requirements related to Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (lODE), including current and planned compliance activities. 5.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section S5.C.3) requires the City to: • Implement an ongoing program to detect and remove illicit discharges, connections and improper disposal, including any spills into the municipal separate storm sewers owned or operated by the City. An illicit discharge means "any discharge to a municipal storm system that is not composed entirely of stormwater . " and illicit connection means "any man-made conveyance that is connected to a municipal storm system without a permit (excluding roof drains and other similar type connections) such as sanitary sewer connections, floor drains, etc." • Develop a storm sewer system map, have ordinances that prohibit illicit discharges, and create a program to detect and address illicit discharges. • Publicly list and publicize a hotline or other local telephone number for public reporting of spills and other illicit discharges. Track illicit discharge reports and actions taken in response through close-out, including enforcement actions. • Train staff on proper IDDE response procedures and processes and to recognize and report illicit. discharges. • Surrunarize all illicit discharges and connections reported to the City and response actions taken, including enforcement actions, in the Annual Report; including updates to the SWMP document. 5.2 Current Activities The City currently implements activities and programs that meet many of tlle Permit requirements. The current compliance activities associated with the above Permit requirements include: • The City currently has an IDDE program. • The City has an emergency phone number posted on tlle City's website that allows citizens to report illicit discharges or illicit dumping. • The City is currently a subscriber to Pierce County's geographic information system (GIS) and has most of the information and data necessary to create the required maps. The City is in the process of creating a GIS strategic plan to outline all necessary data requirements for tlle future. • City codes and standards have sections that address some illicit discharges and civil infractions. • The City summarizes associated activities in its Annual Report by March 31 st, of each year. • The City has received a Department of Ecology grant and is using the funds to develop a GIS map of the City'S storm sewer system. This work is approximately 55% complete and is anticipated to be completed by December, 2009. 5-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 5: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination City of Puyallup 2009 SWMP 5.3 Planned Activities Puyallup conducts some illicit discharge detection and elimination activities but will need to expand current efforts in order to maintain compliance as Ecology phases in Permit requirements.

MONITORING This Section describes the Permit requirements related to water quality monitoring, including current and planned activities. 8.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section S8) does not require municipalities to conduct water quality sampling or other testing during tIus Permit term, with the following exceptions: • Water quality monitoring required for compliance with [total maximum daily pollutant loads, a.k.a., water quality clean-up plans]. The City's current Permit does not include TMDL requirements because there were no EPA-approved affecting the City prior to the cut-off date (February 2006) for inclusion in the current Permit. • Any sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to the Permit's Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination conditions. • Preparation for future, comprehensive, long-term water quality monitoring efforts consistent with current Phase I monitoring requirements. According to the Permit, this program would include two components: 1) general stormwater quality monitoring and, 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring. The stormwater monitoring is intended to characterize stormwater runoff quantity and quality at a limited number of locations. This characterization would allow for analysis of pollutants and changes in conditions over time and across the City. The Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring is intended to improve stormwater management efforts by evaluating various stormwater controls. Results of the monitoring will be used to support the adaptive management process for improving programs over time. • Identification of two outfalls where permanent stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for future monitoring (by the end of the Permit term and with the 4th Annual Report). The two outfalls must represent commercial, high-density residential, and industrial land uses. The monitoring shall include plans for stormwater, sediment or receiving water monitoring of physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics. • Identification of two suitable SWMP Program questions and sites where targeted SWMP Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted together with development of a monitoring plan for these questions and sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring should be prepared to answer the following types of questions: • How effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions? • Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome? In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in Annual Reports: • A description of stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations conducted by 8-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 8: Monitoring City of Puyallup 2009 SWMP other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information gathered or received shall be included in the Annual Report. • An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices identified by the City for components of the Stormwater Management Program; and changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the practices that were previously selected to implement the Stormwater Management Program and why those changes are desirable. 8.2 Current Activities The City, in partnership with the Puyallup Tribe and Department of Ecology, conducted a ls-month monitoring program for the Clarks Creek Watershed Pollution Reduction Project. The monitoring results were used to identify pollutant sources and estimate pollutant loads. The results of the monitoring are described in the Clarks Creek Watershed Pollution fuduction Pro/eet Submittal RepOit (URS and Brown and Caldwell, February 2005). 8.3 Planned Activities Puyallup will likely need to create a Water Quality Monitoring Program to maintain compliance during the next Permit term. Except for summarizing monitoring activities no actions are required until 2010. Table 8-1 presents the work plan for 2009 SWMP monitoring activities. These tasks were developed through an iterative process of interviews and workshops with staff from affected City departments.
