EXH AR024406: Water Quality Cert #1996-4-02325 Draft Operational Stormwater Requirements pp.16–17

This August 2001 draft document outlines Water Quality Certification conditions for Sea-Tac International Airport (STIA), requiring the Port of Seattle to implement a Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan covering treatment, flow control, and retrofitting of stormwater facilities. Key requirements include obtaining Ecology approval before discharging operational stormwater to state waters, conducting a Water Effects Ratio Study, and ensuring all runoff from impervious surfaces is treated using all known available and reasonable treatment methods. The Port must also retrofit existing stormwater facilities at a rate proportional to new impervious surface construction, with progress documented in quarterly reports.
