See also https://cutt.ly/JOMMMP2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Non-Project Environmental (SEPA) Review is being requested for a Stormwater Retrofit Study. The city of Renton owns and maintains over 400 stormwater facilities to mitigate for the stormwater impacts of development. Older stormwater facilities were primarily focused on providing stormwater storage. Design standards have advanced so that recently constructed stormwater facilities provide better water quality treatment to mitigate the detrimental impacts of stormwater pollutants on stream water quality and aquatic habitat. The city received a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) to perform a study of many of the existing flow control facilities that have little or no water quality treatment features. The purpose of the study is to identify and prioritize the sites with the greatest potential to improve water quality. Per WAC197-11-340(2)(c) any person, affected tribe, or agency may submit comments to the City within fourteen days of the date of issuance of the DNS. Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on March 21, 2022.
