The community is invited to provide input on the draft 2021 Stormwater Management Plan for Mountlake Terrace. The City updates this plan annually to improve water quality in local creeks, Lake Ballinger, Lake Washington, and Puget Sound; and also to comply with requirements of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit.)
The Stormwater Management Plan is broken into ten sections:
- Stormwater Planning
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Involvement and Participation
- Mapping and Documentation
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment, & Construction Sites
- Operations and Maintenance
- Source Control Program for Existing Development
- Compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load Requirements
- Monitoring and Assessment
The Permit requires that the Plan be submitted to the Washington State Department of Ecology by Wednesday, March 31, 2021, so the public comment period will close on Monday, March 29, 2021. Thank you for sharing your clean water priorities.
For questions or more information, please contact Laura Reed, Stormwater Program Manager, at lreed@mltwa.gov or (425) 744-6226.
