The Western Washington Stormwater Management Manual allows local governments to adopt a flow control standard that requires land development projects to match high flow durations that are produced by the existing land cover condition. As pre-requisite to allowing that standard, the manual recommends that the drainage area of the immediate stream and all subsequent downstream basins must have had at least 40% total impervious area since 1985. To help implement this option, the Department of Ecology has produced a map that displays the basins in western Washington within which development projects qualify for this lower flow control standard. |
