The NPDES permit program, created in 1972 by the Clean Water Act, helps address water pollution by regulating the release of pollutants into our streams, lakes, rivers, and wetlands.  In order to meet the requirements of the permit, the city is asked to annually update the Storm Water Management Plan to achieve the long term goal of clean water in our streams, lakes, and Puget Sound.
