Title
Revised Camas Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 14.02 Stormwater Control
Details: The City's current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit issued by the Department of Ecology requires the City to adopt the latest Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) by December 31, 2016, and to review, and revise if necessary, the City's local stormwater codes to incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) principles for new development. Chapter 14.02, Stormwater Control, is the section of the CMC, which outlines the City's stormwater program, adopts the applicable stormwater management manual, and otherwise provides standards for management of stormwater throughout the City. The SWMMWW is the guidance document used for specifically managing stormwater on development and redevelopment projects. Chapter 14.02 currently has conflicting language referencing different versions of the SWMMWW and contains duplicative information that is contained in both the SWMMWW and the current version of Chapter 14.02. The attached draft ordinance resolves the conflicting language confirming use of the latest edition of the SWMMWW, removes duplicative language already cited in the SWMMWW, and adds clarifying language in regards to the ownership and maintenance of private stormwater facilities. Through adoption and use of the latest edition of the SWMMWW, the City is incorporating consideration of LID principles in new development proposals.
