Z. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
1.1 Public Input Process
The planning process included public participation via public open house, public comment periods and a
technical advisory task force committee.The first SMP Technical Advisory Task Force meeting was held
on August 30, 2017.The purpose of the Task Force was to provide a wide variety of perspectives on the
City's existing stormwater utility and input on the creation and adoption of the SMP. A second task force
meeting was held on November 2, 2017. Materials provided in the two meetings are included in
Appendix A.
A public open house was held between the two Task Force meetings to present the plan purpose and
findings (to date) and solicit input from the general public, such as known flooding problems for capital
project.
During the SMP adoption process there were two public comment periods. The first comment period
was early in the process and the goal was to gain feedback on what topics the public would like to see
covered in the SMP and what was important regarding stormwater.The second comment period was to
provide comments on the draft version of the SMP
The input provided throughout the public participation process was reviewed by the Plan team and
included where appropriate in this final draft.The materials and minutes from city council sub-
committee meetings, planning commission meetings and workshops, and the city council meetings and
workshop are included in Appendix B.
1.2 Introduction
The City of Port Townsend is unique in many ways, notably when it comes to climate, landscape, and
history of its development.Annual rainfall of about 17 inches is 70 percent of the amount that falls in
Port Angeles,just 30 miles to the west, and 25 percent of Quilcene's, 23 miles to the south.There are no
"streams" in our common understanding of the term and the City is surrounded on three sides by water:
the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, and Port Townsend Bay(all parts of the Salish Sea). Much of
the land was platted in the 1890s, with no regard to topography, drainage patterns, or infrastructure.
These conditions result in challenges for the City and property owners to follow natural drainage
patterns, control changes from new development, and apply western Washington stormwater manual
standards that were developed for wetter climates with streams and more traditional land development
approaches.
In 1986,the City prepared the "Comprehensive Storm Water Drainage Plan for Port Townsend"
(CH2MHill et al. 1987)which was used as the basis for establishing the City's municipal stormwater utility.
Deficiencies in this plan were noted when preparing the Growth Management Plan in the early 1990s,
which resulted in initiating a new comprehensive plan (Port Townsend 1996) and an updated Stormwater
Management Plan (SMP) (Port Townsend 1999). Notable in the draft 1999 SMP was the idea of a "natural
drainage systems" approach, which included the mapping of"Critical Drainage Corridors".The draft 1999
plan was never adopted; however, the natural drainage systems approach was adopted through the 1996
Comprehensive Plan through policies and goals in both the Land Use and Utility Elements of the 1996
Comprehensive Plan.The Critical Drainage Corridors were protected through regulatory language in the
city's Critical Area Ordinance (CAO).

City of Port Townsend
This SMP update addresses ongoing management of the existing system and plots a course for the
future of the system. While there are many pieces already in place—system mapping, adopted
standards, and a recognized need to consider development and protect resources—the SMP includes
analyses, approaches, priorities, specific projects, mechanisms, updated performance standards, and an
implementation plan. In addition, since stormwater practice and regulations continue to evolve and the
approach and responsibility of municipalities to control stormwater discharges and manage
infrastructure increases, this Plan recommends policy and regulatory updates. The SMP is an important
tool for the City to use for day-to-day development review, operations, and long-term planning.
The objectives of the SMP include:
• Updating and defining drainage connectivity and mapping;
• Preparing updated policies for protecting the natural and built drainage system;
• Describing approaches to protect and improve the existing roadway drainage system;
• Preparing standard designs for future road drainage infrastructure;
• Assessing the existing impacts and potential changes due to new development;
• Preparing concept designs for capital projects to address existing stormwater problem areas;
and
• Preparing site development information and review materials, including low impact development
(LID) measures, redevelopment, new site development, and water quality retrofitting.
The SMP presents the background objectives existing conditions summary, basin analysis, consideration
of future land use, recommended stormwater controls, and capital projects to address existing
stormwater problems.
1.3 Comprehensive Program Mission
The project kick-off with both the City and Parametrix teams was held on June 20, 2017.The purpose of
the kickoff was to develop the Plan vision and team mission to complete the plan, brainstorm the Plan
needs and goals, discuss risks and threats to project success, and finalize the schedule and work plan for
the adoption of an updated SMP. The team agreed on the following Vision and Mission statement:
A fully functional, achievable, and sustainable stormwater system that is integrated
into the landscape, supports envisioned growth, protects residents, and nurtures the
environment.
Additional information to help guide plan preparation was collected by the team.The kick-off meeting
day included a field tour of key areas and problem areas in the city. Notes from the meeting
brainstorming are provided in Appendix A.
1.4 Plan Outline
The Plan structure follows this general outline: Section 2 describes the study area, with a discussion of
the physical setting and natural drainage system; Section 3 describes the current built environment in
the context of how it affects water resources, such as land cover and stormwater facilities; Section 4
describes the basis for stormwater planning, establishes stormwater control targets, and presents the
proposed SMP approaches; Section 5 describes the proposed capital projects; and Section 6 includes the
implementation plan.

1.5 Plan Resources
The City prepared the Draft Storm Water Management Plan in 1999 (Port Townsend 1999).This plan
was very thorough and provides a strong platform on which this SMP plan update was built. Key
material used for a starting point includes the original drainage basin mapping and critical drainage
corridors (CDC) map.
The existing available GIS mapping from the city was used extensively, including topography, the
mapped drainage basins, CDCs, road network, drainage patterns and conveyance, wetlands,floodplains
and soils mapping.The City staff also prepared new information for this plan, such as a roadway
inventory, new and revised catchment inventory, and updated CDC and key drainageway(KD) mapping.
Other information, such as water quality sampling and some rainfall data, was provided by the City.
Other geology and climate data were collected from reliable Internet sources.

2. THE WATERSHEDS AND BASINS
2.1 Project Area Description
The City is located on the Quimper Peninsula, surrounded on three sides by the Strait of Juan de Fuca,
Admiralty Inlet, and Port Townsend Bay, all parts of the Salish Sea. Figure 1 shows the city limits, streets,
named receiving waters, wetlands and potential wetlands, CDCs, KDs, and drainage basins. There are no
well-defined perennial or named streams.There is a long linear depression that generally drains toward
"Chinese Gardens"which contains a connected series of wetlands and a designated floodplain. CDCs are
regulated by the City's Critical Areas ordinance. KDs are defined in this Plan and regulated by
stormwater codes and design standards.
The general disposition of surface waters is shown on Figure 2. Drainage basins in the City drain either to
closed depressions or directly to the ocean.The basins that discharge to the ocean are via a storm sewer
system, flow through surface ravines or through outlets from the two large named wetlands, Chinese
Gardens and Kah Tai Lagoon.The closed basins discharge into groundwater at small wetlands. Additional
detailed discussion of the drainage basins is provided in the 1987 Comprehensive Stormwater Drainage
Plan (CH2M Hill et al. 1987).
2.2 Physical Conditions of the Area
'.1. Topography and Drainage
The landscape and general topography of the City indicates irregular and undulating slopes. Figure 3 is a
topographic map of the City which shows the location of the low-lying areas, closed depressions and
geologic drainage features. Generally, there are relatively flat"plateaus" along the east and west sides
of the City with a valley(low lands) going through the middle. High bluffs dominate the ocean edge.
Strong erosional drainage patterns are not well-seen and are generally limited to drainage from the
plateau, notably in the southwest corner of the city. The formation of the large-scale landforms found
are an outcome of many processes, including deposition by advancing and receding glaciers, changing
sea levels, isostatic rebound after the glaciers have gone, and other apparent significant land forming
events. However,there is little evidence of landscape-level changes due to streams and flowing water
over the last several thousand years since the glaciers retreated, other than very local drainage patterns.
The topography of the City indicates low-lying areas and subtle drainage paths to form the natural
drainage disposition shown on Figures 2 and 3. Topographic maps and the built environment(i.e., both
built drainage network and existing roads)were used to define the drainage basins and their discharge
location. Figure 3 indicates by shading the location of low-lying drainage patterns within the major
drainage basins that lead to receiving water.The drainage patterns described in this section and shown
on Figures 1 through 3 form the drainage network on which the stormwater planning is based.
As shown on Figure 2, stormwater runoff drains directly to:the ocean either via storm sewers (pipes) or
from the two large named wetlands (Chinese Gardens and Kah Tai Lagoon)via an overflow pipe or to
closed basins that discharge into the groundwater, often at small wetlands and surface ravines.The flow
path and disposition of stormwater is an important factor in the stormwater impact analysis, future
control decisions and policies and potential basin retrofitting.

Designated floodplains and coastal flood hazard zones as mapped by FEMA exist in the low coastline
areas along the entire City shoreline (Figure 4). The only non-coastal floodplain in the City has also been
mapped in Drainage Basin 4, for which detailed information can be found in Appendix C (Polaris 1996).
Wetlands have also been mapped throughout the city annotated as "wetlands" or"potential wetlands"
(Figure 4).A wetland has been delineated by a wetland specialist and documented by a wetland report;
a potential wetland is identified through aerial mapping by a topographic depression or wet area in the
landscape and does not have a delineation wetland report and has not been field verified.
2.2.2 Local Geology
The geology and climate of the area contribute substantially to defining stormwater planning
approaches for the City.The relatively poorly defined natural drainage paths are a direct result of the
recent geologic past and the lack of rainfall to form drainage patterns and provide perennial streams.
The dominant geologic formation that resulted in local landforms is known as the Vashon recessional
drift, made up of sediments deposited during and after the last retreat of the Puget Lobe glacier.The
landforms are made up of a combination of materials deposited during previous advances as till,
outwash coming from the glacier as it retreated, and materials left behind as the ice stagnated and
melted. Because the Vashon recessional drift is the last deposit left by the melting glacier, it is relatively
undisturbed (Washington State Department of Ecology [Ecology] 1981). No interpretations of the
existing smaller-scale landforms in the City were found, and virtually all of the City is mapped as "Vashon
Till (Qvt)" on the Surficial Geologic Map of the Port Townsend Quadrangle (Pessl et al. 1989) (Figure 5).
Small areas of"Marsh, Swamp, or Bog" (Qm), "Recessional-Continental" deposits (Qvrc) and "Advance
Outwash" (Qva) are also found.This mixture of material sources, depositional environments, and
geologic processes demonstrates that highly variable landforms.
As described earlier, annual rainfall in the City is very low when compared to nearby areas due to the
Olympic Mountains rain shadow. In addition,the historical forest cover before the arrival of European
settlement resulted in low basin response and runoff from the rain that does fall. Consequently, there
was limited water available to carve drainage channels. Low areas that appear to have been created by
water are present (see Figure3) and may have resulted from the last processes of the melting glaciers or
in the slow response to several thousand years of rainfall since the glaciers melted.
Ecology conducted a study of ground water resources in eastern Jefferson County (Ecology 1981) and
developed a compelling analysis of the annual water budgets for the Port Townsend area that
demonstrates the amount of water typically available for surface water runoff. Figure 6, replicated here
from Ecology 1981, shows the relative percentages of average annual rainfall needed to replenish soil
moisture and the resultant remaining water surplus available for runoff. The results show that the
average annual excess water available (water surplus)for runoff is just 0.6 inches(precipitation minus
evapotranspiration), although under seasonally variable infiltration and evapotranspiration or in
different locations, it could be more or less. This is a very small amount of water available for runoff. By
comparison, the excess available runoff(water surplus) in Quilcene,just 30 miles south of the City, is
29.7 inches (Ecology 1981).This excess runoff in Quilcene is also reflected in local drainage patterns and
development of channels in the same glacial materials. As the amount of average annual precipitation
increases moving south from Port Townsend, the number of streams also increases to the south
(Ecology 1981).

2.2.3 Soils
Soils in the area were mapped by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), as shown on
Figure 7.The NRCS divides soils into four hydrologic soil groups (HSG) defined by the expected rainfall
infiltration and runoff response. These soils categories provide information for hydrologic modeling and
planning-level information regarding localized infiltration potential (or lack thereof).These data will be
used for testing potential impacts described in Section 4 below. Figure 7 has highlighted HSG "A" and
HSG "D" which represents the soils most likely to have high infiltration and low infiltration respectively.
The hydrologic soil groups will be used to support on-site infiltration feasibility7.
2.3 Area Climate and Hydrology
2.3.1 Hydrology
Port Townsend is located in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. The precipitation in the area
usually falls as rain, with about 65 percent of the yearly precipitation occurring between October and
March. Current hydrological parameters in the City are:
• Average annual rainfall: 17.64 inches
• Mean storm events: 50
• Mean storm depth': 0.266 inches
1 Data from the Port Townsend Station located at latitude 48.07,longitude 122.45(Perrich 1992).
Rainfall depths for selected 24-hour storm events are shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1. Rainfall Depths for 24-Hour Events 2
Return Frequency Precipitation Depth(inches)
2-year 1.17
10-year 1.72
25-year 2.03
100-year 2.50
Z Data taken from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA),U.S.Department of Commerce(reference needed)
Hydrologic modeling is used to predict runoff from under different land use scenarios. Modeling for this
Plan was done using MGSFlood.The predicted runoff rates are used for sizing conveyance structures such
as culverts and ditches. Stormwater models use the long-term regional rainfall records which are tailored
to the specific location being analyzed (i.e., Port Townsend). The maximum adjustment in the rainfall
record allowed by Ecology is a factor of 0.78, which does not fully reflect the reduction needed when
comparing Port Townsend rainfall records to nearby stations used in the long-term model record.
Consequently, the modeled rainfall amounts used, and the resultant peak flow rates (described in
sections below), may be higher than observed amounts. Because of this, conveyance structures may be
larger than needed for the design storms used. However, the structure sizing is not that sensitive to
modest changes in rainfall extremes, therefore the overall effect on results is expected to be minor. Also,
the impact analysis is comparative, using the same rainfall record, which means the existing and future
conditions are similarly different (high or low) but the comparative difference is reasonably accurate.
The rational method is another appropriate approach for calculating peak flows in for conveyance
design. However, the rainfall intensity numbers used in the rational method also rely on location-specific
rainfall data.These data have not been calculated for Port Townsend and the available nearby rainfall

stations do not have the type of data or length of records needed to be appropriate data sources.
Similar adjustments can be made to nearby available rainfall data if this method is used but is also
expected to over-predict runoff rates.
2.4 Water Quality
No stormwater quality data has been collected by the City at city outfalls.The Jefferson County Health
Department collected dry and wet weather samples to evaluate e coli from storm sewer outfalls in 2013
and 2014.The samples can inform some elements of stormwater planning which would be focused on
education (usually pet waste), source controls, and illicit discharges.There is insufficient available data
to inform a basin or outfall-specific stormwater quality retrofit prioritization plan,which is the norm, not
the exception, in most of Puget Sound communities. However, stormwater is a presumptive practice;
therefore, a surrogate such as the percentage of roadways and intensity of development in a basin can
be used to prioritize locations for stormwater treatment retrofits to improve water quality.
2.5 Climate Change
Change in climate is expected to result in more extreme weather such as larger storms of greater
intensity, changes in seasonal rainfall patterns, more extreme difference between wet and dry years, or
changes in snow and snow melt patterns. In addition, warming weather is resulting in higher sea levels
which can impact coastal communities, such as Port Townsend.
Change in the global climate is expected to increase temperatures in western Washington 4.2° F to
5.40 F by 2050 in the Puget Sound Region and more extreme weather may be expected. For example,
according to a study done by University of Washington (Mauger et al. 2015),the wettest days
(99th percentile of 24-hour precipitation totals) in the Pacific Northwest are projected to increase in
precipitation by 22 percent by the 2080s and the frequency of those events are predicted to increase
from 2 days per year historically(1970-1999)to 7 days per year in the future (2070-2099).According to
some models, around the Puget Sound watershed and Port Townsend, the maximum 24-hour
precipitation event is projected to have an increase precipitation of 6 percent to 10 percent by 2040,
and 10 percent to 11.5 percent by 2080.
Precipitation in general is projected to increase in fall, winter and spring and decrease in summer.
Around the Puget Sound watershed and Port Townsend, it is projected that winter precipitation will
increase on average of 7 percent to 8.5 percent by 2040,while summer precipitation will decrease on
average by 10 percent to 11.5 percent. Additionally, the average snowpack is predicted to decline in the
Puget Sound region, causing the spring peak in streamflow to occur earlier in the year and decreasing
summer minimum flows.
In addition, warming weather is resulting in higher sea levels which can impact coastal communities
such as Port Townsend. Based on a University of Washington study on projected sea level rise
(Miller et al. 2018), around Port Townsend there is a 99 percent probability that relative sea level (RSL)
will increase by 0.1 feet by 2030 and a 50 percent probability that RSL will increase by 0.4 feet. By 2070,
that increases to a 99 percent probability that the RSL will rise by 0.4 feet and 50 percent probability of
over 1.3 feet.These projections all assume high greenhouse gas scenario. In a low greenhouse gas
scenario,the projections remain the same for 2030, and decrease slightly to a 99 percent probability of
RSL rises by 0.3 feet and 50 percent probability of over 1.1 feet in 2070. Looking farther ahead, in 2150
there is a 99 percent probability that RSL will increase by 0.3 feet and 50 percent probability that RSL
will increase by 2.8 feet. Furthermore, in the event of a subduction zone earthquake, some parts of
Washington coast may be subject to land level changes, based on multiple seismic deformation models,
of 0 to 0.3 feet subduction.

3. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Stormwater plans are prepared to address both current and proposed conditions: the effects of land
conversion on stream hydrology and the impacts of pollution-generating activities on water quality.
Land drainage has been included in design for centuries; stormwater management has been the norm
for the past several decades in Washington and continues to evolve as the practice learns from the past
and new issues come to the forefront. Existing land use and land cover have created drainage conditions
observed today, including some localized flooding and erosion impacts. Development of vacant
undeveloped lands, redevelopment, and infill will bring future potential impacts, if not properly
controlled. The measures and standards for control to be used in Port Townsend will follow the general
approach for stormwater management used elsewhere in western Washington, with adjustments due to
local conditions found in Port Townsend.
As described before, the City will be unique in its approach to addressing stormwater management
because of the following unique local conditions: there are no natural streams but there are obvious
pathways, drainage basins, and receiving waters; new development will be predominantly infill into pre-
platted areas with or without existing opened rights-of-way; rainfall is relatively low; and the road
system is the dominant drainage conveyance network.
In this section, existing land use (as defined by imperviousness) is estimated to evaluate existing
drainage needs, primarily in the road system, and identify areas with potentially high stormwater quality
impacts.There are no reliable mapped data for determining existing imperviousness,therefore
estimates were made using approaches described below. Future land use is estimated by both the
development potential and estimated allowable development.This generally tends to over predict
future impacts,which means the planning outcomes tend to be reliably protective.
Runoff modeling requires soils and land cover data. Figure 7 provides the source for soils data. Land
cover refers to the general type and condition of vegetated surfaces, such as forests, pastures, and open
landscapes, each of which has a different runoff response to precipitation. The City used visual
estimates for land cover data. In low precipitation areas with moderate soil runoff response such as Port
Townsend, runoff rates are relatively insensitive to land cover.
In addition, for purposes of hydrologic modeling, each drainage basin in the City was further divided into
subbasins, referred to as "catchment" areas as shown on Figure 8. The catchment boundaries are
defined by both topography and the built environment—existing roads and stormwater infrastructure.
3.1 Land Use
An inventory of impervious area and land cover, described in terms of aerial coverage within a
catchment, is needed to prepare modeling or characterization analyses that relate runoff potential or
quality characteristics to a point in the conveyance system. Impervious land cover can include amounts
and types of impervious surface, for example roads, sidewalks, rooftops, or parking lots, or a stormwater
management description like pollution generating or"effective" impervious surface. Available data to
make these characterizations varies widely between different jurisdictions. Fortunately, there are a
number of approaches to either translate available data into categories that are useful for stormwater
management or basin planning evaluations. Data are needed to characterize existing conditions and to
project the changes that could occur due to new development.

3.1.1 Existing Land Cover
Existing land use and imperviousness is estimated to evaluate existing conditions to determine drainage
needs, primarily in the road system, identify areas with potentially high stormwater quality impacts, and
provide a baseline for modeling existing runoff conditions. For the modeling analysis, imperviousness is
calculated for each catchment within a drainage basin. The approach for estimating existing
imperviousness is described below.
For rights-of-way,two categories were identified: opened rights-of-way(which means an existing public
road is present) and unopened rights-of-way(an undeveloped, platted right-of-way with no public road).
For opened rights-of-way, the length of roadways in the catchments were measured and multiplied by
22-feet to estimate the area of impervious surface.The right-of-way per catchment is shown in Table 3-
1.The opened rights-of-way are an estimated 40 percent imperviousness based on a typical roadway
width of 22-feet of pavement in a 60-foot wide platted right-of-way, plus some consideration of
sidewalks and driveways in the right-of-way. For unopened rights-of-way, imperviousness is assumed to
be zero.
The remaining land (i.e., not platted rights-of-way)was classified into developed land, critical areas
(undevelopable land including steep slopes, wetlands, and CDCs), or vacant land. For developed land,
the estimated imperviousness is 37 percent of the developed land area. Vacant land was further divided
into conservation or public lands (which are assumed will remain undeveloped) underdeveloped land
(which are large tracts with little development or a single house) and undeveloped (developable land
either platted land or not). For vacant land, the estimated imperviousness was assumed to be zero for
current baseline conditions.
Runoff modeling requires land cover data and soils types. Land cover refers to the general type and
condition of vegetated surfaces, such as forests, pastures, and open landscapes, each of which has a
different runoff response to precipitation. Visual estimates were used to provide data for land cover. In
low precipitation areas with moderate soil runoff response such as Port Townsend, runoff rates are
relatively insensitive to land cover. Figure 7 provides the source for soils data.Tables 3-1 and 3-2
provides a breakdown of total catchment area breakdown (see Figure 8), rights-of-way impervious area,
rights-of-way unopened area, developed area, critical areas, vacant conservation/public land and vacant
underdeveloped/developable land.

I1_2 Future Land Use and Land Cover
Existing land use, as described above, is used in runoff models to evaluate existing drainage conditions
and needs and identify areas with potential stormwater impacts. Future land use, mainly in the form of
new impervious surfaces and converted land cover, is used to predict future potential runoff impacts.
Future potential impact areas are the focus of the SMP.
The unopened rights-of-way and the "developable land" categories are where the potential runoff
changes will occur. For planning purposes, potential land conversion estimates are made for full build-
out to predict where impacts could occur which then point to the need for measures to minimize or
manage those impacts.
For unopened rights-of-way,the total potential conversion of land area is estimated to be 40 percent
impervious, following the assumption used for existing opened rights-of-way in Section 3.1.1. Some of
the unopened rights-of-way are located adjacent to public and conservation lands and may never be
opened, resulting in an over-estimation of future imperviousness, thus the modeling results can be
considered conservative.
For vacant land, public and conservation lands are expected to remain pervious and undeveloped.
Underdeveloped and remaining developable lands are assumed to be developed to their full, allowable
potential.The estimated future fully developed impervious percentage is 37 percent, which was
provided by City staff to use in runoff modeling.This is a typical approach in stormwater planning,
although it has been found to overpredict actual development that occurs.
Larger tracts that will construct new roads within new rights-of-way use an estimate of 37 percent
future impervious (which is the same percent used for future developable land), while existing
unopened rights-of-way will use 40 percent imperviousness.The 3 percent difference is small and is not
expected to result in significantly different modeling outcomes.
Land cover conversion will assume that the remaining uncovered pervious lands will be "pasture" (which
includes lawns and non-forested open spaces; this is a modeling convention term) and or remain in part
forest.The land cover is visually estimated from recent aerial photos. For the model it will be assumed
that 50 percent of the forest in developable land will convert to pasture, and that pasture will remain
pasture.
The potential development and conversion to impervious surfaces described here are used to model
and predict the highest potential for future impacts to the natural drainage ways, drainage systems, and
existing wetlands. However, the reality is that runoff would be controlled to some extent at each site,
with full control following the stormwater manual at larger sites and to the maximum extent practicable
at small sites or individual platted lots.The amount of control or runoff reduction is catchment-specific,
considering soils conditions and developable tract types. In the modeling results, if the potential for
future impacts is found or exceeds thresholds, a closer catchment-specific analysis and adjustment may
be made if the conservative assumptions (developable and underdeveloped lands developed to their
full, allowable potential with no stormwater controls) result in an impact. Catchments that still could
have impacts after these adjustments are applied may become candidates for regional control facilities.
Existing Land Use is shown on Figure 9. Vacant lands and development potential are shown in Figure 10.
Soils mapping and potential for good infiltration conditions are shown in Figure 7. Using this
information, the estimates for future conditions for full buildout for the MGSFlood model are shown in
Table 3-3.

3.1.3 Estimating Runoff Potential
As described in previous sections, the City has: low rainfall depth and intensity when compared to
elsewhere in western Washington, areas of relatively low runoff soils and land cover, and small
catchments with poorly defined natural drainage paths. These factors converge to result in a relatively
narrow range of peak flow rates, which often means that similar drainage infrastructure is needed in
many different locations. Modeling the entire system would be costly; a generalized modeling approach
can address much of the City's system need.To define this need and confirm the expectation that
similar runoff results can be found across the city, some generalized runoff modeling was performed.
The land cover conversion analysis results, previously described in this section, are input into the
hydrologic model to find future peak runoff potential from the basin. The location at which this peak
flow rate occurs is described as "key locations" in the drainage system. In some catchments, the peak
flow rate is the entire runoff potential from the catchment, with no specific geographic location.An
example would be in Catchment 1,which has runoff that generally flows toward the Strait of Juan de
Fuca and discharges at multiple points. In the catchments where there is a defined location at which all
of the runoff is directed, a "node" is defined as the specific location of the calculated peak flow rate, as
shown on Figure 11.Table 3-4 lists the catchment area name, total catchment area in acres, percentage
of existing and future impervious area, and distribution of land cover.
Existing and future peak runoff for the 2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year events were determined at the
catchment nodes shown on Figure 11 (unless there is no node, which means that the peak runoff rate is
total runoff potential from the entire basin). These modeling results will be used to define potentially
impacted areas.The future peak flows for the 25-year event will be used to assess drainage conveyance
needs in the roadway system, notably where the road drainage becomes the main flow path in the
basin. The 25-year peak flows will be used to assess potential impacts from future development to CDCs
and KDs as defined in Section 4.A comparison between existing (Table 3-5a) and future (Table 3-5b)
conditions for selected events (2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year storm events) is also used to assess wetland
receiving waters, notably in Basins 4 through 9.The peak runoff modeling results for Existing and Future
Conditions are shown in Tables 3-5a and Table 3-5b, respectively.

Catchments with Largest Increase Potential
The existing and future peak runoff determined in Table 3-5a and Table 3-5b above provide an indicator
of where the highest potential impacts could occur or where there are priorities for further evaluation
or improvements. Table 3-6 shows the peak 25-year runoff rates under existing and future conditions
and the percent change. The highest potential changes shown can provide a basis for prioritizing other
improvements that may be identified in Section 4.

3.2 Stormwater System Operation and Maintenance
Proper operation and maintenance of the stormwater system is necessary to prolong life and
effectiveness of the system as well as reduce the potential for flooding and improve water quality.There
are several sources and guidelines as well as direct experience used to develop the City's stormwater
practices.
Ecology provides guidance on best management
practices (BMPs)for municipal operations in the
Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington (SWMMWW).This manual was developed
in response to federal requirements and tailored to
conditions in the Pacific Northwest.
Below are the recommended BMPs from the SWMMWW the City of Port Townsend uses for guidance
for stormwater system maintenance.
• Maintenance of Public and Private Utility Corridors and Facilities
• Maintenance of Roadside Ditches
• Maintenance of Stormwater Drainage and Treatment Systems
• Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances
• Urban Streets
• Recommendations for Management of Street Wastes.
The operation and maintenance of the stormwater system is funded by a stormwater utility fund and
includes 3.55 full time equivalents (FTEs) distributed amongst several employees. This number is likely to
increase as the stormwater system is extended or enhanced, increasing the need for maintenance.
