National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Western
Washington
Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit
Stormwater runoff flowing through Kitsap County's pipes, ponds, and
ditches must now be managed according to the requirements of a new permit
issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology in January of
2007 and renewed in September 2012. The Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit requires
the County to take actions to educate the public and encourage non-polluting
behaviors, look for illegal dumping and cross-connections, enforce erosion
and sediment control at construction sites, and use best practices for land
management and stormwater system maintenance.

stormwater management plan.
