Volume 2: Draft Gorst Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement

GORST PLANNED ACTION EIS | SUMMARY• Allow zero direct and untreated discharge to streams and marine water bodies in association withdevelopment and redevelopment.Additionally, capital facility improvements have been recommended measures for addressing stormwaterdeficiencies. Implementation of these improvements could result in beneficial effects on stormwater and indirectlyprotect drinking water and wastewater facilities by reducing flood-prone damage and erosion.Applicable Regulations and CommitmentsApplicable regulations and commitments include the following:• Safe Drinking Water Act. Sets national primary drinking water standards. The act includes the designation ofsole source aquifers. The 1996 amendment identifies source water protection.• CWA. Regulates discharge of stormwater from certain industries and municipalities. NPDES permit or waterquality discharge permit. The EPA delegated the Department of Ecology the authority to implement thesepermits in Washington State.• Drinking Water Regulations Chapter 70.116 RCW. Directs the Washington State Department of Health toassure safe and reliable drinking water and protect drinking wells.• Washington State Water Pollution Control Act Chapter 90.48 RCW. Regulates various source control activitiesrelated to sediment management.• City of Bremerton Comprehensive Wastewater Plan and Updates. Ensures adequate existing and futurewastewater capacity.• City of Bremerton Stormwater Management Program. Summarizes the actions to be taken by the City ofBremerton to fulfill its obligations as listed in the NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.• City of Bremerton BMC Chapter 15, Stormwater, SWMMWW and LID Guidance Manual. Regulates forstormwater management associated with new development and redevelopment.• Kitsap County 20-year wastewater facility plan. Ensures adequate existing and future wastewater capacity.• Kitsap County Surface and Stormwater Management Program. Protects people, property and naturalresources by reducing flooding and stormwater runoff, conserving groundwater, restoring fish habitat, andpreventing stormwater pollution.• KCC Chapter 12, Stormwater Drainage, and Kitsap County Stormwater Design Manual. Regulates forstormwater management associated with construction.• Any future development would need to comply with applicable utility franchises and permits.Other Potential Mitigation MeasuresOther potential mitigation measures could include the following:• Evaluate the effect on proposed utility relocations on other nearby utility infrastructure.• Determine the exact location and depth of utilities and work with individual utility providers to verify thelocation.• Complete utility relocation or modification, where feasible, prior to project-specific construction to reduceoperational risks and reduce any potential disruption of service.Draft | June 2013 1-39
