Typically, discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems are directed to a nearby receiving water body. There are three watersheds within the City defined by these three major receiving waters: Port Gardner Bay, Lake Washington, and Snohomish River. Basins within each watershed are defined by areas draining to streams, creeks, or lakes that discharge to one of these three receiving waters. The City's,original basin plans were completed 30 years ago. During those 30 years,the City has annexed new areas and regulations have changed significantly,resulting in limitations on how the originally proposed capital improvements can be implemented. In 2007,the City was issued a Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology. The City is using the services of a consultant, also maximizing the use of City staff to replace the outdated basin plans with a Surface Water Comprehensive Plan. The Plan presents updated basin characterizations with identified issues and a prioritized list of projects. Public Capital Improvement Projects and Maintenance projects are already included in the current surface water rate structure. Additional lists identify potential projects correct issues on private property that can be implemented by third-party non- profit agencies, as those entities can also apply for grant funding. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution adopting the 2017 City of Everett Surface Water Comprehensive Plan. 153
