The Department of Ecology is making regulatory changes to stormwater management and the use of low impact development (LID) to address the negative impacts of stormwater runoff in our urban and natural landscape.
![Page 10: Low Impact Development...A stormwater and land use management strategy Strives to mimic pre-disturbance hydrology Utilizes infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation and transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071116/5fff6a38c99b86455d2cf96f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Western Washington - LID will be required in new development and re-development
Eastern Washington - LID allowed
Deadline to adopt regulation depends on population size
Earliest: June 2015
Most will adopt by: December 2016
Latest: June 2018
Regulatory Changes are Coming

Bio-Swales done poorly?
Compacted soils Negative drainage, too narrow?

Permeable Pavement Pervious concrete, porous asphalt and permeable
pavers allow passage of water through the pavement and into the ground reducing and filtering
stormwater. Stormwater is filtered when passed through the pavement into a subgrade of appropriate
native soils or an engineered treatment layer.

The accumulation of rain water for re-use, stored in cisterns or barrels above or below
