What happens if the Regional Stormwater group does not comply with its NPDES stormwater discharge permit?
Any violation of the conditions of the Regional NPDES permit would be considered an infringement of the State of Washington Water Pollution Control Law (Chapter 90.48 RCW) and the National Clean Water Act and would be subject to enforcement action by the Washington State Department of Ecology. The permittees could be fined up to $25,000 per day, per violation, for failure to comply with the conditions of the permit.
