Tacoma's Statistically Proven Approach to Stormwater Management, Tacoma, Washington
Abstract
The City of Tacoma, WA is 62 sq miles (population 200,000), ultra-urban, and has separated storm and sanitary sewer systems. Tacoma is a Phase 1 Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted City with a remediated Superfund Waterway located in the heart our downtown corridor. Stormwater from 6,000 ac of commercial, industrial and residential land discharges directly to this remediated waterway. Through the implementation of our NPDES Permit and Superfund Consent Decree, Tacoma developed a multipronged Stormwater Management Program. Our program is statistically proven to be effective using stormwater monitoring. Our Program hierarchy consists of 3 progressive elements; Source Control, Enhanced Maintenance and Treatment Retrofit.
