Redmond's Stormwater Utility and its city partners implement a suite of programs to protect Redmond's stormwater system, creeks, river, lake, and groundwater, from pollution and physical degradation associated with stormwater runoff. Many of these programs are driven by a federal clean water permit called the Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Phase II Permit. This permit is issued to Redmond every five years and is administered by the Washington Department of Ecology.
This informational presentation will cover the following:
