SB 5314: Local stormwater charges/DOT

Modifying the use of local storm water charges paid by the department of transportation.

Summary

  • Authorizes local government utilities to use the charges paid by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for storm water control to be used for facilities or to implement best management practices that reduce runoff, rather than requiring those charges to be used to specifically address runoff from state highways.
  • Removes the requirement for the WSDOT and the local government utility to develop an expenditure plan for the charges paid by the WSDOT that is supplemented by annual reports on plan implementation progress by the local government utility to the WSDOT.
