Stormwater Design Manual Update

Cover_stormwaterdesignmanual

In 2019, the Washington State Department of Ecology revised its stormwater design manual for counties and cities located in Western Washington. As a result, Kitsap County is in the process of updating its Stormwater Design Manual and relevant development codes. 

Before this first draft of the manual enters the legislative approval process and before a final decision by the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners, community members are invited to review the draft and share comments.
