Everett has applied for an Ecology grant to complete the subsequent Receiving Water Prioritization • and StormwaterManagementAction Plan, which are also Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit requirements The Receiving Water Condition Assessment is the first step in the process; and needs to be addressed in 2021 in order to meet Permit timelines for the creation of the Stormwater Management Action Plan. The Receiving Water Prioritization is due June 2022 and the Stormwater Management Action Plan is due in March 2023. The SWCP will be updated to provide an assessment of existing and future land uses as they relate to water quality (including where Everett will experience pressures from growth) and an analysis of the influence of Everett's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) on the receiving water. This process will be done for 22 separate stormwater drainage basins. A stand-alone document for the outcome of the Receiving Water Assessment will also be prepared by Otak for submittal to Ecology.
