• The Board of County Commissioners recently updated the Kitsap County Stormwater Management Code (KCC 12.04 through 12.32) to adhere to the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (NPDES permit) issued by the State Department of Ecology.  Significant changes were made to the design, operation, and maintenance of stormwater facilities required for new development and redevelopment.  The updated Stormwater Design Manual will be adopted in January 2010.
