Guidance Documents

This SMAP (Stormwater Management Action Planning) Guidance document package was created by the City of Poulsbo (based on Gig Harbor and Thurston County compliance sheets) to distribute to their SMAP team members. This package contains an excel Permit Implementation Schedule Tracking sheet that includes “prep work” to the schedule ahead of each SMAP due date. The prep dates are an arbitrary estimate included as a visual reminder to help the team think about Planning ahead!
* Each jurisdiction may need jurisdiction-specific adjustments/customizations.

The SSC (Structural Stormwater Control) Science Synthesis Project is Ecology-funded, with the goal to address questions about measuring and comparing the performance of SSCs in categories identified in the Phase I MS4 permit to retrofit or other “above and beyond” projects in areas with no or inadequate stormwater management infrastructure.  The findings are presented in two talks, the first recorded as a part of Municon 2021, and the second recorded May 17th, 2021 as a follow-up with additional information. We suggest that you start with the presentation given at MuniCon first which provides context for topics covered in the update.
