Project:Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual Update
Client:Spokane County and City of Spokane Valley
Consultant: Evergreen StormH20
Contract No.: 24012
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Spokane County and the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley developed the Spokane
Regional Stormwater Manual (SRSM) to establish standards for stormwater design and
management to protect water quality,natural drainage systems,and down-gradient
properties as urban development occurs.On October 8,2007,the Washington State
Department of Ecology's (Ecology) approved the 2008 SRSM as functionally equivalent to the
minimum technical requirements in Appendix 1 of the Eastern Washington Phase II Municipal
Stormwater Permit (MS4 Permit). Since then,the MS4 Permit has been updated and reissued
three times (2014,2019,and 2024) and the contents of MS4 Permit Appendix 1 are repeated in
the 2024 Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW). Ecology now
defines the process for approving functionally equivalent manuals in Section S5.B.5.c of the
2024-2029 MS4 Permit.Specifically, Permittees are required to update,adopt,and make
effective functionally equivalent regional manuals and local ordinances by June 30,2027.This
includes summarizing significant manual changes using the MS4 Permit Appendix 10 format
and submitting draft enforceable requirements,technical standards,and manuals that
correspond to updates identified in Appendix 1 to Ecology no later than July 1,2026. Ecology
then requires a 180-day review period to develop a written response followed by a time to
address Ecology comments and resubmit the required documents for review and approval.
The goal of this project is to update the SRSM to be functionally equivalent to the 2024-2029
Permit Appendix.This goal will be achieved by completing the following.
• Confirm the edits made to the SRSM by the three contributing jurisdictions for
equivalency to the 2019-2024 MS4 Permit are complete and comply with the 2019-2024
MS4 Permit and 2019 SWMMEW (Task 2).
• Identify updates needed to the SRSM and ordinances for equivalency to the 2024-2029
MS4 Permit and 2024 SWMMEW (Task 2&3).
• Summarize edits and significant revisions to the SRSM since it was published in 2008 into
the 2024-2029 MS4 Permit Appendix 10 format (Task 2).
• Update the SRSM to include the updates identified from Task 2 (Task 3).
• Prepare tables summarizing significant changes to the local programs in the format
described in Appendix 10 (Tasks 3 &4).
• Coordination with Ecology throughout the project (Task 2&4) and address Ecology
comments following their review (Task 4).
• Accommodate unanticipated additional work that is outside the limits of the scope of
work in the other tasks (Task 5).
