Background and Analysis:
Background and analysis have not changed from first to second reading.
Effectively managing stormwater pollution impacts from existing development and compliance with the City of Olympia's 2019-2024 Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit requires an update to the municipal code.
The proposed Ordinance update requires the application of operational source control best management practices (BMPs) for pollutant-generating sources associated with existing land uses and activities. Proper implementation of source control BMPs on both public and private property will help reduce pollutants from entering local waterways and Puget Sound. BMPs examples include covering material stockpiles, cleaning work areas frequently, and preventing pollutants from encountering rainwater or runoff. Also included are edits to ensure code consistency with other sections and to protect water quality.
