A. Storm and Surface Water Utility Ordinance - General Update of KCC
7.05 and 7.07 - Adopt
Conservation Coordinator, Evan Swanson gave a brief summary of the storm
and surface water utility, noting that the City of Kent owns and operates a
storm drainage system that collects, stores, provides water quality
treatment, and conveys stormwater from public and private properties for
discharge to waters of the state. The current storm and surface water utility
code sections require an update to be consistent with state law and

technological advances. This language also provides a well-defined
enforcement mechanism. The proposed motion includes a recommendation
to adopt an ordinance repealing the current Kent City Code (KCC), Chapter
7.05, Storm and Surface Water Utility, and Chapter 7.07, Surface Water and
Drainage, and re-adopt an updated Chapter 7.05 Storm and Surface Water
Utility.
As a requirement of the 2019-2024 municipal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit, mandated by the Washington State
Department of Ecology, the City of Kent must implement a source control
program to prevent and reduce pollutant runoff to the public drainage
system. The program must include inspections of publicly and privately
owned sites that have the potential to discharge pollutants. If existing
pollution prevention methods are ineffective, the city must require the
utilization of additional Best Management Practices, including structural
controls if needed to protect water quality. The proposed updates to the code
support these new requirements.
The proposed ordinance also updates the enforcement provisions to be
consistent with other portions of Kent City Code.
The proposed ordinance eliminates KCC Chapter 7.07. This chapter includes
Kent stormwater standards for development and redevelopment. Because
these stormwater standards are now adopted by ordinance, Chapter 7.07 is
no longer necessary.
The proposed ordinance includes other minor edits to clarify stormwater
system maintenance and inspection responsibilities and to be consistent with
state and federal stormwater regulations.
This ordinance has been reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) and by the Washington State Department of Commerce as a
development regulation.
The ordinance has changed slightly since the Kent Land Use and Planning
Board held a public hearing, January 10, 2022. Specifically, the following
change was made to Section 7.05.150A: the word "volumes" has been
replaced with "peak flows".
MOTION: I move to authorize the Council adopt Ordinance No. 4425,
repealing and replacing Chapter 7.05 of the Kent City Code, entitled
"Storm and Surface Water Utility," and repealing Chapter 7.07.
