Stormwater Code Update – Public Review Period Open / Upcoming Public Meetings

-Public review periods and upcoming public meetings.

Our proposed 2021 Stormwater Code and Manual update is scheduled to be effective in July 2021. Our new rules will replace the current Stormwater code and Directors’ Rules, which are administered jointly by SDCI and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU). For more information, visit our Updating Stormwater Regulations – Background page.

We will post our revised draft documents in two phases during separate public review periods. Each review period will include a Public Meeting to highlight the revisions.

• November 2 – 20, 2020 – Public Review Period #2: The revised draft Stormwater Code, Volume 1 of the Manual, Appendix B (Additional Submittal Requirements), and Appendix I (Landscape Management Plan and Integrated Pest Management) will be posted for public review on the Updating Stormwater Regulations – Project Documents.
