Effective February 16, 2007, the Department of
Ecology (DOE) issued the 2007 Western Washington
Phase II Municpal Stormwater Permit. The National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System for Small
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s)
is in effect until February 15, 2012.
The NPDES Ph. II Permit stems from the Federal
Clean Water Act and shares its intent to restore
and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological
integrity of our nation's waters. It combines
requirements from the Federal National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II
Permit Program and the State of Washington Water
Pollution Control Law (RCW 90.48).
PERMIT REQUIREMENTS:
This permit requires Cities to meet the following
six criteria:
- Public
Education and outreach on stormwater impacts
- Public
involvement and participation
-
Illicit discharge detection and elimination
- Construction
site runoff control
- Post
construction stormwater management in new development
& redevelopment
- Pollution
prevention and good housekeeping for municipal
operations
DOE
requires full implementation of the programs outlined
in the permit application, for each of the above
criteria, within five years of permit issuance.
Note: permit issuance does not coincide with the
application deadline.
The following two (2) reports are provided annually
to DOE with program updates:

ILLICIT DISCHARGES
Residents are reminded that all stormwater eventually
goes into streams, rivers, and lakes. For that
reason, care should be taken to insure that no
hazardous chemicals are dumped or spilled in the
roadways or orhter places where the chemical could
end up in the stormwater system. This is considered
an illicit discharge.
Please
report illicit discharges to the City of Camas
at 360-817-1565 or the Department of Ecology Southwest
Regional Office at 360-407-6300.
