Project Short Description:
This project will develop a Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan for the City of Port Orchard. This project will
provide a roadmap for implementing water quality treatment for total suspended solids (TSS) and will also
reduce flows to Sinclair Inlet by increasing stormwater treatment, infiltration and/or providing stormwater
detention. Additional benefits of this project include modernizing infrastructure and flow control in nearshore
areas.
Project Long Description:
This project will develop a Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan to improve stormwater quality for Port Orchard's
downtown and shoreline areas. Port Orchard's downtown basins drain approximately 74 acres of existing mixed
development to Sinclair Inlet. The Plan will guide the investment in structural and non-structural best
management practices (BMPs) to improve stormwater water quality draining from Port Orchard's older
developed commercial and residential areas. These areas currently lack any permanent runoff collection,
conveyance, or treatment measures. The Plan will identify prioritized stormwater capital improvement projects

Recipient Name. City of Port Orchard Public Works Dept.
and stormwater-related activities that most efficiently provide flow control within the downtown basin and
improve the long-term water quality of Sinclair Inlet.
The RECIPIENT will inventory stormwater management constraints and opportunities in the basin, analyze
water quality data, use modeling tools to assess current water quality and flows at the downtown outfalls, and
determine the most cost-effective alternative(s) to address the water quality deficiencies. Any essential data gaps
in terms of stormwater infrastructure or water quality will be addressed. Plan sections will include an existing
conditions assessment, plan objectives, basin opportunities and constraints, facility and activity alternatives,
funding alternatives, alternatives evaluation, and plan recommendations and implementation.
Overall Goal:
This project will help protect and restore water quality in Washington state by reducing stormwater impacts
from existing infrastructure and development.

State of Washington Department of Ecology
Agreement No: WQC-2018-PoOrPW-00206
Project Title: Port Orchard Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan
Recipient Name: City of Port Orchard Public Works Dept.
with funding assistance provided through this agreement (and protected by a recorded conveyance of rights to the State
of Washington) shall be incorporated into the agreement before final payment.
c. Conveyance of Rights to the State of Washington. Upon purchase of real property rights (both fee simple and lesser
interests), the RECIPIENT shall execute the document necessary to convey certain rights and responsibilities to
ECOLOGY, on behalf of the State of Washington. The documents required will depend on the project type, the real
property rights being acquired, and whether or not those rights are being acquired in perpetuity (see options below).
The RECIPIENT shall use language provided by ECOLOGY, to record the executed document in the County where
the real property lies, and to provide a copy of the recorded document to ECOLOGY.
Documentation Options:
1. Deed of Right. The Deed of Right conveys to the people of the state of Washington the right to preserve, protect,
and/or use the property for public purposes consistent with the fund source. RECIPIENTs shall use this document
when acquiring real property rights that include the underlying land. This document may also be applicable for those
easements where the RECIPIENT has acquired a perpetual easement for public purposes. The RECIPIENT must
obtain ECOLOGY approval on the draft language prior to executing the deed of right.
2. Assignment of Rights. The Assignment of Rights document transfers certain rights such as access and enforcement
to ECOLOGY. The RECIPIENT shall use this document when an easement or lease is being acquired for water
quality and habitat conservation. The Assignment of Rights requires the signature of the underlying landowner and
must be incorporated by reference in the easement document.
3. Easements and Leases. The RECIPIENT may incorporate required language from the Deed of Right or Assignment
of Rights directly into the easement or lease document, thereby eliminating the requirement for a separate document.
Language will depend on the situation; therefore, the RECIPIENT must obtain ECOLOGY approval on the draft
language prior to executing the easement or lease.
d. Real Property Acquisition and Relocation Assistance.
1. Federal Acquisition Policies. See Section 4 of this agreement for requirements specific to Section 319 and SRF
funded projects.
2. State Acquisition Policies. When state funds are part of this agreement, the RECIPIENT agrees to comply with the
terms and conditions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policy of the State of
