Re: 2016 GMA Update
Commissioners:
I would like to correct an error in my June 4t" comments. I quoted out of date text I had copied
from the .pdf version of the City's Engineering Design Standards currently posted online. That
version does not contain revisions to it adopted by Ordinance 2915 in 2006 regarding the 2005
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington
By ordinance the EDS (as well as PTMC 13.32.010) now specifies use of the 2005 edition rather
than the "most current edition". These implementing regulations are therefore inconsistent
with GMA's Best Available Science requirements regarding stormwater management of critical
areas. This update is required to correct such inconsistencies.
See the original line in/strike out revisions in web ordinance:

Thank you.
