(1) The location, design, construction, and management of all shoreline uses and activities shall protect the quality and quantity of surface and groundwater adjacent to the site.

(2) When applicable, all shoreline development should comply with the requirements of the latest version of Ecology’s Storm water Management Manual for Eastern Washington.

(3) Best management practices (BMPs) for control of erosion and sedimentation shall be implemented for all shoreline development.

(4) Potentially harmful materials, including, but not limited to, oil, chemicals, tires, or hazardous materials, shall not be allowed to enter any body of water or wetland, or to be discharged onto the land. Potentially harmful materials shall be maintained in safe and leakproof containers.

(5) Within 25 feet of a water body, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and pesticides shall be applied in strict conformance to the manufacturer’s recommendations and in accordance with relevant state and federal laws. Further, pesticides subject to the final ruling in Washington Toxics Coalition, et al., v. EPA shall not be applied within 60 feet for ground applications or within 300 feet for aerial applications of the subject water bodies and shall be applied by a qualified professional in accordance with state and federal law.

(6) New development shall provide storm water management facilities designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with the latest version of Ecology’s Storm Water Management Manual for Eastern Washington, including the use of BMPs. Additionally, new development shall implement low-impact development techniques where feasible and necessary to fully implement the core elements of the Surface Water Design Manual.

(7) For development activities with the potential for adverse impacts on water quality or quantity in a stream or fish and wildlife habitat conservation area, a critical area report as prescribed in the Chapter 29.25 PMC, Critical Areas, shall be prepared. Such reports should discuss the project’s potential to exacerbate water quality parameters which are impaired, and for which total maximum daily loads for that pollutant have been established, and prescribe any necessary mitigation and monitoring.

(8) All materials that may come in contact with water shall be constructed of materials, such as untreated wood, concrete, and approved plastic composites or steel, that will not adversely affect water quality or aquatic plants or animals. Materials used for decking or other structural components shall be approved by applicable state agencies for contact with water to avoid discharge of pollutants from wave or boat wake splash, rain, or runoff. Wood treated with creosote, copper chromium, arsenic, or pentachlorophenol is prohibited in shoreline water bodies. [Ord. 4314 § 2, 2016; Code 1970 § 29.01.250.]
