Stormwater Runoff and Effects
a
The City of Port Orchard (City) operates a system of drainage
pipes and ditches to convey stormwaterrunoffto receiving waters
including streams and Sinclair Inlet. The drainage system prevents
and minimizes damage to private properties, city streets, and other
infrastructure. As rain falls and travels across hard surfaces, such
as roofs, yards, and streets, pollutants are picked up and carried
to receiving waters. The City is faced with the challenge to convey
runoff safely, while minimizing adverse high -flow impacts (erosion,
flooding, and sediment deposition) and water quality degradation to
receiving waters.
In 2008, the City established the storm drainage utility (Utility) to
create a funding source to address stormwater and receiving water
management issues citywide. State and federal regulations related
to stormwater have evolved since 2007, when the City was issued
its first National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Western Washington Phase II Stormwater Permit (Permit) from
the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), leading to more
stringent requirements for implementing projects, programs, and
maintenance.

Watershed signage, City of Port Orchard
Purpose of this Plan
City water resources include freshwater streams, marine
water shorelines and estuaries, upland wetlands, and aquifers
underground. These waters support aquatic wildlife, terrestrial
wildlife, and people, in the form of recreation and drinking water.
A watershed is the area of land where surface water flows to
a receiving water body., supporting salmon in a stream, where
children play at the beach, or the nearshore environment
nourishing shellfish and forage fish.
The City has chosen to develop and implement its first surface
and stormwater comprehensive plan with a focus on watersheds
spanning the landscape and stormwater influence on water
resources. This approach recognizes the ecosystem function and
value of receiving waters and maps out a plan to accommodate
future growth, correct existing flooding problems, involve the
public, preserve functioning habitat, and enhance habitat where
opportunities are found.
This Stormwater and Watersheds Comprehensive Plan (Plan)
sets a course for stormwater programs and capital proj ects for
years to come and addresses current and anticipated regulatory
requirements, future development, existing flooding and water
quality concerns, infrastructure maintenance and management, and
the resources needed for the City to fully implement this Plan.
Stormwater Management Mission Statement
The mission of the stormwater management program is to regulate
and manage use ofthe City's municipal separate storm sewer system
(MS4) asrequiredbythe City'sNPDESpermitwhileconscientiously
managing and protecting surface and receiving waters for public health
and enjoyment.

Long-term Goals
All functions performed or influenced by the stormwater
management program can be divided into ten major elements. City
staff developed goals for each program element.
These goals guide the City during planning and implementation of
this Plan.

Long-term Goals
FLOOD REDUCTION
Conveyanceinfrastructure that meets the Public Works Engineering
Standards (City Standards) (convey the 100-yr return period flow; 50-yr
return period flow if the 100-yr overflow does not threaten buildings and
The City's tidally influenced stormwater infrastructure is resilient to tidal
fluctuation including projected sea level rise.
The City has a complete understanding of system deficiencies and a plan
to address those deficiencies that is balanced with available funding.
GROUND AND SURFACE WATER QUALITY
Infiltrated stormwater does not negatively affect groundwater quality.
Streams meet water quality standards for human health and aquatic life.
GROUND AND SURFACE WATER QUANTITY
• Groundwater supply is replenished by infiltration from developed
areas at a rate that is equal to the volume infiltrated under natural
forPs,ted conditionG_
• Streams have adequate summer flow volume and natural winter storm
flow regimes to support local aquatic life.
HABITAT ENHANCEMENT
• City -influenced streams are fully restored to forested hydrologic
conditions and meet designated uses and water quality standards.
• City culverts that carry fish -bearing streams allow fish to pass
unimpeded.
• Pocket estuaries adjacent to city lands are ecologically functional and
not negatively affected by stormwater runoff or hydraulic constraints
from stormwater infrastructure.
• Shorelines adjacent to city lands are not negatively affected by
stormwater.
• City watersheds are characterized and prioritized according to
potential environmental restoration, conservation, or development
so that investments in stormwater and watershed projects canbe
directed to where they achieve the maximum benefit.
MAPPING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
Stormwater system asset attributes and conditions are tracked and
managed in one cohesive system that is compatible with all other
city systems.
The stormwater system asset management system supports planning
and prioritizing repairs, upgrades, and maintenance, as well as generating
and tracking work orders to support annual review and evaluation.
14
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND INVOLVEMENT)
Community members understand the relationship between their actions
and stormwater quantity and quality and take action to minimize their I %
stormwater impacts and habitat damage. 1
POLLUTANT SOURCE CONTROL
• Pollutants from developed lands and roads do not enter surface water or
groundwater at levels that are harmful to aquatic life or human health. 04
• Citizens and businesses implement pollution prevention practices to the
maximum extent feasible.
INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
All City -owned and privately -owned stormwater infrastructure, including
flow control and water quality facilities, function as designed.
DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES
All development and redevelopment projects comply with City
Standards for stormwater management.
The City's approach to development and redevelopment oversight
enables money spent on stormwater management to have the
maximum benefit for waterresources.
Runoff from all manmade development and construction sites is
mitigated by stormwater facilities in accordance with current Citv
Standards prior to discharge to surface water bodies.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING, ADMINISTRATION, AND FUNDING
• The City's storm drainage utility has a comprehensive strategy to
manage infrastructure protect water resources, restore damaged
habitats, and ensure sustainable development.
• The City's storm drainage utility is adequately funded to meet
regulatory requirements and the stormwater related needs of citizens.
• Existing property owners and developers pay for an equitable share of the
necessary improvement and expansion of the City's stormwater system.
• The City has a complete understanding of existing unmanaged
manmade surfaces and a plan to retrofit those surfaces that is
balanced with available funding.

Opportunities and Challenges
As part of the stormwater and watersheds comprehensive planning
process, the City identified opportunities and challenges faced
by the Utility. The relationship between these opportunities and
challenges and the City's long-term goals is discussed in more
detail below.
Opportunities
The process to develop this Plan allowed City staff to identify long-
term goals, describe the ideal state for managing stormwater runoff,
and identify and plan capital projects to invest in the future of the
City stormwater system. Existing activities, future programs and
projects, and future regulatory requirements were evaluated when
developing this Plan. This Plan sets a road map for the future of
stormwater management.
Challenges
The City is operating its stormwater program according to the 2019-
2024 Permit (Ecology 2019). Challenges facing the City include
meeting more stringent requirements in the 2019-2024 Permit,
such as: business source control and inspection program, public
education, reporting, watershed planning, and adoption of a new
stormwater manual. Additionally, a new NPDES Permit will be
issuedin2024 andis expectedtohave additional requirements.
Lack of dedicated staff time is the primary challenge facing the
City. Staff conduct the activities required by the 2019-2024 Permit,
track progress, and report to Ecology on an annual basis. Staff also
respond to flooding and water quality issues submitted by citizens
and conduct inspections during construction, post- construction, and
for maintenance of selected stormwater drainage facilities. The City
lacks available staff time to manage stormwater capital projects and
submit and manage grant applications and funds.

2022a). The major watersheds (or watersheds with the most
jurisdictional control) located within the City include:
• Annapolis Creek
• Downtown County Campus
• Anderson Creek
• Caseco Creek
• Johnson Creek
• Blackjack Creek (including Lower, Middle, and
Upper Blackjack Creeks)
• Melcher Creek
• Ross Creek
• Ruby Creek
• Stream 270
The minor watersheds (or watersheds with the least jurisdiction
control) located within the City include:
• Karcher Creek
• Coulter Creek
• Rocky Creek

City Watersheds, Continued...
Some watersheds support salmon while others support other aquatic
species (see Figure 3). Streams, such as Johnson Creek, Annapolis
Creek, Karcher Creek and Stream 270, support up to three salmonid
species, while other larger stream systems associated with valued
wetlands, such as Lower Blackjack Creek, Anderson Creek, Ross
Creek, and Ruby Creek, support a wider variety of salmonid
species which may include fall and summer chum, coho, fall
Chinook and steelhead. Smaller stream systems such as Downtown
County Campus, Melcher Creek and Caseco Creek, do not support
salmonids and may host other species including sculpin, freshwater
eels, and other small stream aquatic species.
Important species that utilize the nearshore marine environment of
Sinclair Inlet are forage fish including surf smelt and sand lance (see
Figure 3). These small fish serve to provide recreation for the local
community in the form of"smelting" during the open season at Ross
Point, and provide an essential food source for larger fish, seals,
and river otter, to name a few local wildlife often seen from City
shorelines. Refer to the City's Watershed Inventory and Assessment
(Herrera 2022a) for detailed characteristics of each watershed.

City Stormwater System
The City stormwater system (inlets, pipes, ditches, vaults, swales,
culverts, and ponds) collects runoff from streets, yards, rooftops,
and parking lots (see Figure 4). That runoff is discharged through
stormwater outfalls to either waterbodies (streams or marine
nearshore) or to an adjacent municipality.

Stormwater Impacts on Watersheds
The degree to which the City stormwater system impacts local
receiving waters can be categorized from low to high by assessing
the dominance of City lands in the watershed and the level of
stormwater infrastructure (see Figure 4 and Table 1).
The total percent of impervious lands in a watershe d is correlated to
the health of receiving waters. The greater the percent impervious
lands, the likely greater level of degradation upon water resources.
City stormwater influence is highest in Downtown County Campus,
Annapolis Creek andJohnson Creek watersheds, andlowestinthe
more rural or limited City presence in the Square Creek, Stream 270,
Gorst Creek, Rocky Creek and Coulter Creek watersheds.

Applicable Policies And Regulations
In addition to addressing drainage and water quality concerns impacted
by stormwater runoff, the Surface Water Management Program
must also comply with several local, state, and federal regulatory
requirements. They include:
IN NPDES Permit
r The 2019-2024 Permit (Ecology 2019) has broad requirements
associated with stormwater runoff and requires the City to develop
NX distinct program components. The first Phase II Permit was issued
by Ecology in 2007, reissued in 2012, and again in 2019. The
requirements for the City's stormwater program have become more
moostringent with each new permit issuance. The permit requires that
the City's program meet requirements in 11 primary areas:
2A=;
Stormwater planning
• Public education and outreach
Public involvement and participation
• Municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit mapping
and documentation
• Illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE)
• Controlling runoff from new development, redevelopment,
and construction sites
• Operations and maintenance (O&M)
• Source control program for existing development
• Compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
requirements
• Monitoring and assessment
• Reporting requirements
;; ..
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA)
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GNU) is a series
of statues, which include requirements for the inventory and
protection of environmentally critical areas. Environmentally critical
areas include steep slopes, wetlands, and streams (Chapter 36.70A
of the Revised Code of Washington [RCW]). The GNU also requires
fast-growing cities and counties to develop comprehensive plans to
ensure environmentally responsible and economically sustainable
development, which includes planning for stormwater related
capital facilities.
26
Port Orchard Municipal Code
;, ;'• ;: Several chapters of the Port Orchard Municipal Code (POMC)
govern aspects of stormwater management on new development and
redevelopment project sites, as well as inspection and maintenance
requirements for private stormwater facilities. The primary chapters
in the POMC related to surface and stormwater management include:
• Chapter 13.06 — Storm Drainage Utility
• Chapter 15.30 — Illicit Discharge Prevention, Detection,
and Elimination
• Chapter 20.140 — Land Disturbing Activity
• Chapter 20.150 — Stormwater Drainage
Ecology Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plans
ATMDL cleanup action is required for water bodies that have been
identified as impaired on Ecology's Section 303(d) list due to poor
water quality. The Cityimplements actions incompliance with the
Sinclair/Dyes Inlet Fecal Coliform TMDL as required per Appendix 2
of the 2019-2024 Permit.
Federal Endangered Species Act
The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) prohibits the take of
all listed species, including a take that could result from the City's
stormwater facility operations or private development stormwater
management activities that are permitted by the City.
Underground Injection Control Program
The underground injection control (UIC) program is a federal
program intended to ensure that underground sources of drinking
water are protected from surface discharges to the ground. In the
State of Washington, the UIC program is administeredby Ecology
through Chapter 173-218 of the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC). The Guidance for UIC Wells that Manage Stormwater
(Ecology 2006) lays out the requirements for UIC wells, and
Ecology has included additional guidance in the latest version of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, released
in 2019.

Tremont St. widening; Kitsap Daily News
Program Accomplishments
Since the storm drainage utility was founded in 2008, the City of
Port Orchard has made significant progress in reducing detrimental
effects of stormwater runoff on receiving waters in and around Port
Orchard. The City has planned and built capital projects to alleviate
drainage problems throughout the City. The City has also provided
stewardship opportunities through education and outreach. The
City's accomplishments for the past four years are described in
chronological order below:
City staff hosted a springtime shoreline cleanup and beach
education activity. Participants were encouraged to remove any
trash they encountered, as well as recovering and removing any
riprap or shoring materials that had fallen on the beach from the
upland shoreline. While participants worked, City staff provided
educational guidance regarding ecosystem recovery efforts,
shoreline biodiversity, effects of stormwater on shoreline habitats
and anthropogenic effects on intertidal habitats in general.
City staff provided outreach to assist with stormwater, stream,
and habitat education at South Kitsap High School, supporting the
school's Career & Technical Education and Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math (CTE/STEM) program. This outreach event
included providing demonstrations and descriptions of methods for
establishing student stewardship activities relating to monitoring
water quality, measuring discharge, and habitat and riparian
monitoring methods at Annapolis Creek.
The City completed the Tremont Street Widening project, which
included stormwater detention, oil control, and enhanced treatment
to protect critical downstream creeks and waterways (i.e., Johnson
and Ross Creeks). Detention was provided by two underground
stormwater vaults, a 164-foot-long by 20-foot-wide by 10-foot
deep vault on the west end of the project and 100-foot-long by
20-foot-wide by 10-feet-deep vault on the east end, to provide flow
control for downstream water bodies and mitigate stormwater
issues. Stormwater conveyance was also upgraded to properly
accommodate the volume of flow in the area.
28
The City began developing the Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan.
The area surrounding the downtown basin is shown in Figure 6.
LUALUThis plan is developing a roadmap for implementing water quality
treatment and flow control best management practices for water
quality outcomes in receiving waters. It will include the identification
of feasible actions and implementable capital improvement projects
that will modernize infrastructure and provide flow control in the
downtown and nearshore areas of Port Orchard.
Figure 6. Aerial Image of the City of Port Orchard's downtown Basin (photo courtesy of City of Port Orchard).
City staff participated in the West Sound Partners for Ecosystem
Recovery Lead Entity for Water Resource InventoryArea (WRIA)
15 and the Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Committee
(WREC) for WRIA 15. This committee connected and engaged
citizens and stakeholders in watershed level discussions and actions
related to water quality, salmon enhancement, and stormwater.
Participation in the WREC was completed in 2021.
29
Planning for Future Development
Due to the City's proximity to the urban centers of Bremerton and
Tacoma and connection to Seattle via ferry transportation, Port
Orchard is designated as a "high capacitytransit community" by
the Puget Sound Regional Council (Puget Sound Regional Council
2020). The Office of Financial Management (OFM) estimates that
the City's population is 16,400 people as of 2022 and is expected to
grow by much as 36%, or to 28,086 people by 2024 (Kitsap Regional
Coordinating Council 2022; OFM 2022). This is one of many reasons
why new development within the city will be significant in the
coming years.
Land development regulations and subarea planning efforts will
be usedto address environmental and waterresource concerns.
New development and redevelopment are and will continue to be
regulated in accordance with the most recent flow control and water
quality standards in the 2019 Public Works Engineering Standards
and defined in POMC Chapter 20.150.06. The City adopts the
following by reference:
2019 Washington State Department of Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual
2012 Puget Sound Partnership Low Impact Development (LID)
Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound
Definitions, minimum requirements, and adjustment and
variance criteria found in Appendix 1 of the 2019-2024 Permit,
with exception of the erosivity waiver.
Critical areas are regulated in accordance with POMC Chapter
20.162 addressing wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation
areas and related plans, geologically hazardous areas andrelated
reports, frequently flooded areas, and critical aquifer recharge areas.

Recently, the City completed the Ruby Creek Subarea Plan (City
of Port Orchard2022). The plan vision was to foster densification,
future growth, walkable neighborhood, and business amenities,
while accommodating the natural function of Ruby Creek and
Blackjack Creek (see Figure 7). Similar planning efforts within the
City will accommodate both people and aquatic species.

Climate Change
In 2020, the City of Port Orchard collaborated with Kitsap
County and the City of Bremerton to develop the Kitsap County
Climate Change Resiliency Assessment (Kitsap County 2020).
The assessment reviewed and summarized current and future
climate change drivers, impacts, and risks for Kitsap County. These
projected impacts were groupedinto impactsto social andeconomic
systems and biophysical impacts, of which the following are related
to this Plan:
• Public infrastructure and support systems (stormwater),
• Hydrology & hydrogeology (hydrologic changes and stream and
riverine flooding), and
• Habitat (freshwater and aquatic habitat).
As part of the assessment, specific impacts to the City of Port
Orchard were evaluated and have been summarized by the City's
stormwater management component in Table 2.

This section summarizes the surface water and stormwater capital
improvement program (CIP). The purpose of the CIP is to define
capital projects that make progress towards the City's long-term
goals including:
Flood Reduction
Groundwater and Surface Water Quality
Groundwater and Surface Water Quantity
Habitat Enhancement
Public Participation (Education, Outreach, and Involvement)
Infrastructure Operations & Maintenance
Comprehensive Planning, Administration, and Funding
34
Problem and Project Identification
Previous surface water and stormwater plans and input from
City staff were used to develop an initial list of problems to be
addressed during work on this Plan. Surface and stormwater plans
reviewed included the following:
• 2018 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan (City of Port
Orchard 2018)
• Blackjack Creek Watershed Assessment and Protection and
Restoration Plan (ESA 2017)
• Ruby Creek Subarea Plan (City of Port Orchard 2022)
• Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan (Reid Middleton 2020)
• 2018 Annapolis Creek Culvert Replacement — 30% Design &
Permitting Coordination Report (Reid Middleton 2018)
• Blackjack Creek Floodplain Restoration Project Engineering
Design Plans (City of Port Orchard 2020)
Additional problems were identified by surveying City staff
through Esri's ArcGIS Survey123 and hosting workshops with the
City. Problems were evaluated using desktop methods andfield
evaluation to assess site -specific opportunities and constraints.
Potential capital projects were developed to address the problems.
The initial list of projects, problem descriptions, and solutions are
provided in Appendix B.
35
Project Prioritization
The initial surface water and stormwater CIP project list was ranked
by City staff to determine the top 10 projects. The top 10 projects
are shown in Figure 8.Once the top 10 projects were chosen,
these projects were prioritized using a quantitative process that
considered further input from City staff, review of background
documents, and field reconnaissance of existing problems. This
prioritization was then used to develop an implementation schedule
that emphasized early completion of the projects providing the
greatest benefit. An overview of the CIP project prioritization
andgoals is includedinTable 3. Detailed prioritization results
and CIP project summary sheets are provided in Appendix B.
The CIP project implementation schedule is included in the Plan

Levels of Service
This chapter summarizes surface water and stormwater
recommendations for the City's stormwater management program.
Recommendations are organized by the long-term goals and levels of
service defined below.
The City has identified three levels of service for this Plan: Level
1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 recommendations are shown for all
long-term goals. Levels 2 and 3 are not included when no additional
recommendations were identified. The levels of service are defined
as follows:
Level 1 Represents activities needed to meet 2019-2024 Permit
requirements, potential future permit requirements, and essential
program activities.
Level 2 Includes everything in Level 1 and several additional improvements
to expand public education and stewardship opportunities,
implement the new asset management program, and increase
staffing to adequately inspect construction projects and private
stormwater facilities to improve environmental protection.
Level 3 Includes everythinginLevels 1 and and represents staffing and
funding to move towards achieving the City's goals. This level of
service would result in the greatest benefits for the community and
the environment, but would have the highest cost. Level 3 includes
expanding public involvement and environmental monitoring activities.
38
Recommendations
Recommendations are organized by the long-term goals and
levels of service previously defined in this Plan. Detailed tables of

City Watersheds
The 2019-2024 Permit required the City to conduct watershed
planning using a process defined by the permit as "Stormwater
Management Action Planning" (SMA . The SMAP process re ui�
the City to view watersheds through t lens of stor er impacts
to receiving water health and actions t improve these
water resources.
This planning was completed in three distinct steps:
• Develop an inventory of watershed characteristics, including
water resource conditions, aquatic life and community uses,
stormwater influence, and social equity (Herrera 2022a),
• Apply a prioritization process to identify the highest priority
watershed (Herrera 2022b), and
• C 1 to an "Action Plan" that includes retrofit projects,
Gor#o MJnhancements, and land marApdWSAMIItegies,
associated costs, and schedule (AppendlCMek

City Watersheds Continued...
Marine nearshore and stream habitat conditions within major
watersheds informed the prioritization process (See Table 4 and
Figure 9). As a guiding principle, water resources with moderate
or good habitat conditions for salmon and nearshore forage fish
would benefit from water quality and flow control actions. However,
the City also intends to invest in watersheds with poor habitat
conditions to alleviate flooding and address water quality issues,
where feasible.

Lower Blackjack Creek Watershed
Lower Blackjack Creek watershed was selected as the highest
priority watershed based on the following characteristics:
• High receiving water use, including use by multiple salmonid species
• Moderate level of development and future growth
• Good water quality and habitat condition
• Higher jurisdiction control
• Promotes other plans and projects, most notably the Blackjack
Creek Watershed Assessment and Restoration Plan (ESA 2017).
Upon review with City staff, Catchment C (Figure 8) in the
watershed was selected for the SMAP (Appendix C). The selected
catchment was chosen due to the greater concentration of older
development for retrofit opportunities.

This section presents detailed information on implementing the
recommended surface water and stormwater program activities
presented in Stormwater Management Program Evaluation and
Recommendations section and the capital projects described in
Capital Improvement Program section. The major components
of plan implementation include the completion of CIP projects,
addressing staffing and resource needs, interdepartmental
collaboration, interagency collaboration, and utility finances.
CIP Plan Implementation
The CIP projects are described in the Capital Improvement Program
section and additional details on each project can be found in
the project summary sheets (Appendix B). Table 5 presents an
implementation schedule that aligns with the Level 1 level of
service. Additional levels of services, which implement some CIP
projects on accelerated schedules, are included in Appendix B.
This schedule balances project priority, project complexity,
and coordination with other projects. Capital projects are reviewed
regularly by the City and the implementation schedule shown
in Table 5 is subjecttochange based onevolving regulatory
requirements, City priorities, and available resources.

Staffing and Funding Needs
Under the current level of staffing, City staff can address surface
water and stormwater problems that arise on a daily basis and
troubleshoot specific issues that arise with development project
reviews. However, they are not fully able to perform activities that
would enable continual improvement of the City's stormwater
management program. Current staffing levels will not be adequate to
meet the rest ofthe requirements ofthe 2019-2024 Phase II Permit
and make progress towards long-term goals defined as part of this
Plan. The activities listed in the Stormwater Management Program
Evaluation section of the Plan will require additional staffing and
funding.
Below are the number of full time equivalents (FTEs) and funding
that are recommended for each level of service (see Figure 11 and
Tables 6 and 7). Additional staffing and funding will be needed
in Level 2 to support the City's source control, private facility
inspection, education and outreach, asset management, and 0&M
programs. In addition to the staffing and funding needed for Level 2,
Level3includes anincreasein education and outreach, andcapital
planning support.
It should be noted that these recommendations start in 2023, but
no new staffing and funding is included in the financial analysis for
2023. Refer to the Financial Analysis section for further information
about the rate impacts of implementing the levels of service.
Detailed estimates of staffing and funding needs can be found in
Appendix A.

Financial Analysis
The activities and proj ects listed in this section would be funded
primarily by revenue from the storm drainage utility. A financial
analysis was conducted to define utility rate adjustments that are
necessary to implement the levels of service listed in this Plan.
During the financial analysis, the City evaluated the regulatory
needs and stormwater-related issues facing the City to find a balance
betweenlevel of service and increased utility rates. Table 8includes
the monthly rate per impervious surface unit (ISU) for the six -year
planning period by level of service and the change (increase) from
the previous year's monthly rate. An ISU is defined as one residential
unit or 3,000 impervious square feet on non-residential parcels (e.g.,
commercial, multi -family).
The full utility rate study report is included in Appendix D. The
report documents assumptions for programmatic and capital project
implementation for all three levels of service andincludes monthly
rates per ISU for years 2023 to 2041.

The City is interested in considering a capital facilities charge (CFC)
for stormwater, which would recover a proportionate share of the
cost of existing and future system assets from new customers as
growth occurs. The City already has CFCs for water and wastewater
utilities. Table 9presentsthe maximum defensible CFCthatcanbe
implemented by the City for each level of service. City Councilcould
opt to adopt a lower CFC than shown in Table 9.

no visible stormwater conveyance system nearby.
Stormwater runoff currently discharges untreated to
Blackjack Creek negatively affecting aquatic
organisms. The neighborhood currently lacks
sidewalks and walkability.

Project Description
Build a new regional stormwater facility on the parcel
southeast of Sherman Avenue. The facility will
provide centralized flow control and treatment of an
approximately 30-acre upstream drainage area
extending from Sidney Avenue to Sherman Avenue.
The facility could incorporate elements from
constructed wetlands, bioretention, and infiltration
ponds. The facility will serve as a neighborhood
amenity and will enhance aesthetics, biodiversity,
and habitat. A combination of surface (swale) and
subsurface (piped) stormwater conveyance will be
constructed to convey flow to the facility. This project
will require property acquisition and facilitate the
construction of sidewalks in the neighborhood.

a bridge on SR 166, replacement of existing utility lines, and connection
of pedestrian access to the public pier. Additional investigation of the
stability of Port Orchard Boulevard will be required. The central location

Remove and replace existing crossing
culverts under SE Salmonberry Road with
new storm conveyance system. New storm
pipe system to extend from channel outfall
to an existing swale channel west of the
crossing. The swale drains to the Blackjack
Creek tributary channel. It's anticipated that
a fish passage culvert is not required since
fish habitat only occurs north of SE
Salmonberry Road.

Problem Description
Existing reach of Blackjack Creek is confined along eastern
edge of the open space with minimal floodplain and wetland
connectivity. While the stream channel has good riparian
cover, vegetation throughout the property is a mix of native
and invasive species. A rock dam located approximately 50
feet upstream from the confluence with Ruby Creek likely
contributes to the observed backwatered conditions and
supports established wetlands within the floodplain.

Project Description
The main objective of the project is to increase floodplain
connectivity. The project includes creating alluvial
streambeds for off channel habitat with depressional
water storage and placing large woody debris on
Blackjack and Ruby Creeks. A mix of coniferous trees and
riparian understory will be planted to create a wetland
forest complex. This project was designed by the City of
Port Orchard. It may be impacted by upcoming work by
the Washington Department of Transportation and Kitsap

City of Port—Orchard—Stormwater Management Action Plan
BACKGROUND
The City completed the "City of Port Orchard Watershed Inventory and Assessment" March 21,
2022 (Herrera 2022a) and the "City of Port Orchard Watershed Prioritization" June 22, 2022
(Herrera 2022b). Additionally, the City is in the process of developing their "Stormwater and
Watersheds Comprehensive Plan", anticipated in 2023. This SMAP will be incorporated within
the stormwater comprehensive planning process when developing programmatic and capital
improvement programs. Additionally, much of the watershed data and analysis conducted for
meeting the SMAP permit requirements will serve to better understand stormwater pressures
upon water resources on a watershed basis.
October 2022
dit HERRERA
City of Port—Orchard—Stormwater Management Action Plan
WATERSHED PRIORITIZATION SUMMARY
Eighteen watersheds were originally identified during the first step of the City's watershed
inventory. Thirteen watersheds were removed from the prioritization process due to low or no
City stormwater influence or because the watershed was smaller than the 400 acre size threshold
identified by Ecology in their SMAP guidance (Ecology 2019). The remaining five candidate
watersheds were subjected to a prioritization and scoring process. The prioritization process
resulted in selection of Lower Blackjack Creek watershed as the highest priority watershed based
on the following characteristics:
High receiving water use support
Moderate level of development and future growth
Good water and habitat condition
Highest jurisdiction control
Promotes other plans and projects, most notably the Blackjack Creek Watershed Assessment
Plan and Protection and Restoration Plan (ESA 2017).
LOWER BLACKJACK CREEK WATERSHED FUNCTION
Lower Blackjack Creek watershed processes are considered "functioning" for hydrologic regime,
sediment regime, riparian areas and wetlands, nutrient supply, floodplain channel interactions,
habitat connectivity, fish passage and water quality (ESA 2017). Organic matter input is rated
"Moderately Impaired" However, elevated summer stream temperatures and low dissolved
oxygen levels are a concern.
Lower Blackjack Creek supports an abundance of salmonid species. The creek supports
spawning and rearing activity for fall and summer chum and coastal cutthroat trout. The stream
corridor supports migration of coho salmon to extensive upper watershed areas for spawning
and rearing. Blackjack Creek is included in the area for endangered species for fall Chinook and
winter steelhead.
Lower Blackjack Creek stream health is good based upon aquatic insect scores. Aquatic insect
diversity is monitored at multiple locations within the Lower Blackjack Creek watershed. This
benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) and many of the sub -indexes are strongly correlated with
stormwater impacts (both erosive flows and water quality). Station KCSSWM-035 (Blackjack
Middle) was monitored for 7 years between 2011 to 2021 with an average score of 52 and a
standard deviation of 12. Scores range from 33 (2014) to 76 (2019). Overall, the stream aquatic
October 2022 (4 H E R R E RA
City of Port—Orchard—Stormwater Management Action Plan
insect community index is classified as "Fair", where some years the score classifies as "Poor" and
other years as "Good" (Puget Sound Benthos Database, 2022).
The watershed was subdivided into three catchments, A, B and C, and Catchment A was selected
for development of the SMAP. This catchment has a greater concentration of older development
for retrofit opportunities. Catchment A is depicted in Figure 1.

CATCHMENT CONDITIONS
Below is a brief description of the catchment for land use, growth and City stormwater influence.
This information provides background about Catchment A existing characteristics and potential
future conditions considered during development of the SMAP.
Land Use and Future Growth
Catchment A is 615 acres. Land use is diverse and comprised of commercial, single-family
residential, multi -family residential, high use state highways and City roads. Vacant lands are
targeted for development and the watershed within the City limits is developing rapidly. The City
of Port Orchard, due to its proximity to the urban centers of Bremerton and Tacoma and
connection to Seattle via ferry transportation, is designated as a "high capacity transit
community" by the Puget Sound Regional Council (Puget Sound Regional Coordination Council,
2020). The City is expected to grow as much as 36% by 2044 (Kitsap Regional Coordinating
Council, 2022).
Stormwater Influence
The City has four major stormwater outfalls (greater than 24" diameter) within Catchment A,
and multiple smaller outfalls. Washington State Department of Transportation also discharges
runoff within the catchment. Fourteen public and private stormwater ponds are located within
the catchment.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
PROCESS TO IDENTIFY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
The process to identity stormwater management actions included a detailed evaluation of
landscape characteristics and the existing stormwater system. Landscape characteristics
reviewed included zoning, vacant lands, stream buffers, wetlands, geohazard areas and
roadways . In general, actions potentially effective to protect the receiving water of Lower
Blackjack Creek were identified. All retrofit projects are one-time actions. However,
programmatic and land management strategy actions can be conducted one time, annually
during the term, or conducted during a three-year pilot project. Annual and pilot projects are
evaluated to determine if it is beneficial to continue the action or to end the action due to
completion, or if the action is determined to be ineffective.
The assessment of the stormwater system included identifying stormwater ponds (both City and
private) and stormwater outfalls. Stormwater pond owners were identified and the year the
pond built determined to assess the level of water quality and or flow control according to the
design requirements of the era it was designed. For all roadways the owners (City or State) were
identified. Current capital improvement projects (CIPs) that improve stormwater quality and/or
flow control or floodplain reconnection were identified including the location, drainage area,
and best management practice (BMP) type. Existing and future potential partnerships with local
agencies were also reviewed.
Based on this information a series of 'actions' were identified to further protect and/or enhance
ecosystem function of Catchment A. The actions cover three categories: strategic retrofits, land
management strategies and stormwater program enhancements. These actions were presented
to internal City and local stormwater and natural resource stakeholders prior to conducting two
workshops in August 2022. General cost estimates were provided for each action and
stakeholders provided their input on selection of Catchment A and prioritization of actions.
Stakeholder feedback was incorporated into this plan.
STRATEGIC STORMWATER RETROFIT PROJECTS
The potential benefits of stormwater retrofit implementation opportunities were examined
based on factors including location, degree of existing water quality or flow control, ownership
(more challenging to implement for private ownership versus City ownership), and likelihood to
succeed.
Three retrofit projects were identified in Lower Blackjack Creek Catchment A. The projects are
the South Sidney Regional Facility, Flowers Meadows St. Pond Retrofit and Naturalization, and
October 2022

LAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
The potential benefits of land management strategies were examined based on factors including
but not limited to the age of existing development, potential future land use, and opportunities
to enhance stream function. These were evaluated for opportunities to leverage and mitigate
future development to improve watershed health and reduce negative impacts from
development. As a result of this evaluation, three land management strategies were identified to
help protect or enhance ecosystem functions in Lower Blackjack Creek Catchment A (Table 2).
The strategies are the South Blackjack Creek Floodplain Restoration project, a pilot rain garden
and low impact development cost share program and regular review of stormwater standards
for new development and re -development. The project summary sheet for the South Blackjack
Creek Floodplain Restoration project is included as Appendix B.

STORMWATER PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS
The City conducts a number of activities for compliance with the 2019-2024 Western
Washington Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit (permit). These include activities associated with
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, Source Control , Operations and Maintenance, and
Public Education and Outreach.
The City's existing procedures for implementing these activities were reviewed to consider what
enhancements would be beneficial for accelerating water quality and habitat improvements in
the Catchment A. This section describes the enhancements implemented within Catchment A
that will exceed NPDES permit required actions. Table 3 summarizes stormwater program
enhancement actions.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Field Screening
The City is required to inspect 12 percent of stormwater outfalls annually. The City will conduct
the following additional actions in Lower Blackjack Creek Catchment A:
Locate and map additional outfalls.
Visit and inspect stormwater outfalls annually.
Source Control Program for Existing Development
The City is required to implement an inspection program January 1, 2023. Twenty percent of the
inventory list is to be inspected annually with provisions for response to complaints and re -
inspection visits. The City will conduct the following additional actions in Lower Blackjack Creek
Catchment A:
Prioritize businesses for inspections the first year of the Source Control Program.
Revisit Source Control Program sites that require additional attention to promote better use
of BMPS to reduce pollution sources entering the storm drainage system.
Add multi -family properties to the Source Control Business Inspection inventory list.
Operations and Maintenance
The City is required to clean catch basins every two years, with provisions for reduced cleaning
based upon inspection. The City will conduct the following additional actions in Lower Blackjack
Creek Catchment A:
Clean City catch basins where inspection shows areas which accumulate sediment at higher
rates annually.

BUDGET AND SCHEDULE
Cost estimates for each SMAP action were developed and identified for either short-term (2024-
2030) or long-term(2031-2044) implementation. These costs may be mitigated by grant funding
programs; the retrofit projects, the floodplain project and some of the education projects may
be grant eligible. For the purpose of this document, no assumptions have been included about
grant funds.
Some actions are implemented annually while others are a one-time project implemented as a
3-year pilot (see Table 4). The schedule does not assume continuation of programs identified as
"short-term" or "pilot" projects beyond the minimum time frame, either 2024-2030 or three year
pilot.
The total estimated cost for short-term actions is $1,467,600. The total estimated cost for long-
term actions is $8,370,000.
A summary of short-term and long-term actions costs are shown in Table 4.

FUTURE ASSESSMENT AND FEEDBACK
The purpose of the SMAP is to conduct actions in Catchment A to protect or enhance the
receiving water of Lower Blackjack Creek. The SMAP is comprised of retrofit projects, land
management strategies and enhanced programmatic activities. The City will assess
implementation by tracking project implementation, effectiveness and demand for programs,
and environmental monitoring data. This tracking will provide feedback to the City about SMAP
implementation.
Projects are typically reviewed and tracked as part of capital project planning and budgeting.
More detailed program analysis, financial assessment and capital project planning occurs on a
6- to 7-year cycle as part of comprehensive planning and provides an additional opportunity for
tracking. Projects (those shown in Figure 2) will be tracked for implementation. Design,
construction, and potential grant oversight will require City staff time. Staff capacity or lack of
grant funding may be limiting factors for implementation.
Programs are typically reviewed annually for NPDES permit reporting The City desires to
implement programs that are effective, in demand, and worthwhile continuing. Programs will be
evaluated to determine if they are not effective (due to lack of response or engagement) or no
longer effective (catch basin cleaning, business source control assistance). Successful programs
may be continued through the long term depending upon staff capacity and funding.
Environmental data collection also occurs annually as part of routine monitoring for stream flow
and benthic macroinvertebrates. These data may be useful in assessing trends of stream health
over time. B-IBI data will be evaluated for long-term trends and stream flow metrics related to
stormwater impacts will be evaluated.

Section I. INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY
Utility Background
According to the City's Stormwater and Watersheds Comprehensive Plan 2023 (Comprehensive
Plan) by Herrera Environmental Consultants, "the City of Port Orchard (City) operates a system of
drainage pipes and ditches to convey stormwater runoff to receiving waters including streams and the
Sinclair Inlet. The drainage system prevents and minimizes damage to private properties, city streets,
and other infrastructure... The City is faced with the challenge to convey runoff safely, while
minimizing adverse high -flow impacts (erosion, flooding, and sediment deposition) and water quality
degradation to receiving waters." The City bills and collects fees from customers within its service
area to provide resources needed to plan, manage, design, construct, maintain, revise, and upgrade its
stormwater system.
Rate Study
The rate study has two main goals — to develop revenue requirement analyses and capital facility
charges for the City's stormwater utility. The results corresponding to each level of service vary
because each level of service incorporates different operational and capital project needs.
Revenue Requirement
One main purpose of this rate study is to develop a funding plan ("revenue requirement") for the
City's Stormwater utility for the 2022-2041 study period. The revenue requirement identifies the total
amount of rate revenue needed to fully fund the utility on a standalone basis, considering operating
and maintenance expenditures, existing debt service, capital funding needs identified in the City's
capital plan, and fiscal policies. Exhibit I shows the general methodology of the rate study process.

REQUIREMENT
CFC
The other purpose of this rate study is to develop a capital facility charge, or CFC, for the City's
stormwater utility. The City currently has water and sewer utility CFCs, but none for its stormwater
utility. CFCs are designed to recover from new development a proportionate share of the cost of
capital facilities. CFCs are one-time charges, not ongoing rates. They are typically payable at the
time of development (or redevelopment to a higher intensity of development).
Capital facility charges serve two primary purposes: to provide equity between existing and new
customers; and to provide a source of capital funding for system capital costs, as growth occurs.

Utility Rate and Inflation
Stormwater Utility Rate Study
page 2
In June 2015, the City increased its monthly stormwater utility fee from $9.70 to $14.00 per
impervious surface unit (ISU). It has not increased since that time. Exhibit 2 compares that fee against
what that fee would have been if annual inflationary adjustments had been applied. The fee would
need to be roughly $18 in 2022 to have a similar amount of buying power as it did in 2015.
Since 2015, the utility has faced significant cost inflation and development. While new development
does result in new customers who pay the monthly rate, new development may also require
additional services and can result in additional costs for the utility to build and maintain the
infrastructure that serves the new development. Additionally, the City has gone through another
iteration of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal stormwater
permit (2019) which has resulted in increased regulatory requirements for the City's stormwater
program.

Revenue Requirement Results by Level of Service
The following sections summarize revenue requirement results by level of service (LOS). In each
LOS, there is a three-year phase -in to help rates "catch up" to the level of service needs. After that,
inflationary -level adjustments are assumed — 3% per year for each level of service. In LOS 3,
increases drop to 1.5% in 2033 to avoid a large buildup of reserves. As previously noted, the forecast
goes through the end of 2041, but the tables below show results through 2031 due to space
limitations. To give City staff and City Council time to consider each level of service, and the
associated rate adjustments, it is assumed initial rate adjustments would not be made until 2024. If
the City were to incorporate rate increases earlier, say effective July 1, 2023, it would reduce future
rate increases by roughly $1-2 per month per ISU.
Level of Service 1
Level of Service 1 requires monthly rate increases averaging $3.60 per year for 2024-26. This level
of service funds approximately $36 million in capital projects (net of grants) inflated to the year of
construction (2022-2041) and provides funding for up to 1.7 additional FTEs.

Capital Facility Charge by Level of Service
The calculated stormwater capital facility charge varies by level of service. Each level of service
assumes a different amount of grants which are subtracted from the recoverable cost basis. The CFCs
by level of service, per impervious surface unit (ISU), are shown below. Per the City's municipal
code, one ISU is defined as one single-family residential account (including a mobile home) or 3,000
impervious square feet of ground cover for all other developed parcels.
• LOS 1: $2,469 per impervious surface unit
• LOS 2: $3,087 per impervious surface unit
• LOS 3: $3,914 per impervious surface unit
These charges reflect the maximum defensible CFC that the City Council could adopt, by level of
service. The Council could adopt, by policy, a CFC that is lower than the indicated amounts. Lastly,
the City should align its revenue requirement and CFC choices. For example, if the City Council
adopts a rate plan supporting the revenue requirement for level of service 1, it should not adopt a
CFC that aligns with level of service 2 or 3.

Section II. FiscaL PoLiciEs
The basic framework for evaluating utility revenue needs includes sound fiscal policies. Several
policy topics are important to consider further as part of managing the finances of the City, including
operating reserves, capital reserves, debt management, and rate funded capital. The City makes use of
four different funds / reserves: operating, stabilization, capital, and debt service.
When evaluating reserve levels and objectives, it is important to recognize that the value of reserves lies
in their potential use. A reserve strategy that deliberately avoids any use of reserves negates their
purpose. The fluctuation of reserve levels may indicate that the system is working, while the lack of
variation over many years strongly suggests that the reserves are, in fact, unnecessary.
Operating Reserve — Fund 421
An operating reserve is designed to provide a liquidity cushion; it protects the utility from the risk of
short-term variation in the timing of revenue collection or payment of expenses. Industry practice for
utility operating reserves typically ranges from 30 days (8%) to 120 days (33%) of operating
expenses, with the lower end more appropriate for utilities with stable revenue streams and the higher
end of the range more appropriate for utilities with significant seasonal or consumption -based
fluctuations.
M
Recommended Policy: Achieve a year-end balance target of 90 days (25%) of total annual operating
expenditures. This equates to $397,000 for the 2022 budget, $486,000 for the 2023 budget, and
$483,000 for the 2024 budget.
Capital Reserve — Fund 423
This reserve provides a source of emergency funding for unexpected asset failures or other
unanticipated capital needs. This capital reserve policy is not intended to guard against catastrophic
system failure or extreme acts of nature. Minimum balances for capital reserves are often based on a
percentage (commonly 1% to 2%) of the original cost of utility fixed assets or an amount determined
sufficient to fund an emergency capital project or equipment failure. Capital reserves larger than
these amounts may be prudent if the City is saving for future capital projects that cannot be funded
with same -year rate revenues.
Recommended Policy: Achieve a year-end target of at least 1 % of the original cost of fixed assets. In
2022, the City had over $16 million in stormwater assets plus construction in progress, which results in a
$160,000 capital reserve target. Capital reserves larger than this may be prudent if the City is saving in
advance for future capital projects. This target is projected to grow over time as the City executes its
capital improvement program.

Adopted City Fiscal Policies
Stormwater Utility Rate Study
page 5
Per Resolution No. 053-20, the City's stormwater operating reserve (Fund 421) balance must be
sufficient to meet roughly two months of recurring revenue, with a goal to work towards a maximum
of three months of revenues. The City does not have an adopted policy regarding its capital reserve
(Fund 423).
Calculating a reserve based on revenue in the rate forecast model can create a circular type of
argument, so it was not modeled that way. As previously noted, operating reserves are typically
based on a certain number of days of operating expenditures. The American Water Works
Association (AWWA) published a 2018 Cash Reserve Policy Guidelines, and it cites recommended
reserve levels from the Water Environment Federation, International City/County Management
Association, and the Government Finance Officers Association, all of which reference a certain
number of days of operating expenses. Capital reserves are typically based on a percentage of fixed
assets or an amount sufficient to respond to an emergency capital project.
To make sure the rate plan in each level of service met the City's adopted policy, we tested the
combined operating reserve (90 days of operating expenses) plus the capital reserve (1% of fixed
assets) to ensure that it was equal to or greater than two months of revenues.
Stabilization Reserve — Fund 422
The City maintains stabilization reserves for each of its water, sewer, and stormwater utilities. Per the
City's adopted fiscal policies, this reserve "shall be used if all efforts have been exhausted to fund a
qualifying event and no reasonable budget adjustments are available to continue to provide essential
services to the public." The policy notes qualifying events as follows:
• The State of Washington or the Federal government formally declares a disaster or emergency.
• A natural or urgent event that jeopardizes public safety, impedes commerce, or threatens
additional damage to City infrastructure.
• Unforeseen events or situations outside of the scope of contingency planning or planned normal
course of government operations.
• An act of war, terrorism, or declaration of Martial law.
Recommended Policy: Per Resolution No. 053-20, the stabilization reserve should target having 90
days (25%) of annual expenditures. Per discussions with City staff, this reserve is fully funded through the
end of 2024. The forecast did not assume these funds were available for use, nor did the forecast add
any funds to this reserve throughout the study period.
Debt Management
The City currently has two outstanding stormwater utility -related loans. For the management of current as
well as potential fixture debt, some considerations are provided below.
Types of Debt Considered as Part of this Forecast
For utilities, there are two primary sources of debt financing: State or federal loan programs, and
market debt financing.
+:www.fcsgroup.com
FC5 GROUP
City of Port Orchard
December 2022
State -Administered Loan Programs
Stormwater Utility Rate Study
page 6
State -administered loans (including federal loans administered by the State) are generally preferable
to market debt financing. The interest rate is generally lower for State loans, and the loan terms often
offer more flexibility in administering the debt. For instance, most State loan programs do not
include a requirement that the utility maintain a certain minimum level of debt service coverage.
Market Debt Financing
General Obligation Bonds
General Obligation (G.O.) bonds are voter -approved bonds secured by the full faith and credit of the
issuing agency, committing all available tax and revenue resources to debt repayment. With this high
level of commitment, G.O. bonds have relatively low interest rates. General Obligation taxing
authority can be sought as a backup pledge to reduce the interest rate of utility debt, even if the actual
source of repayment is intended to be utility rates. However, the use of G.O. bond financing is
limited in relation to assessed valuation, and G.O. bonds must be authorized by 60% of the voters.
For these reasons, G.O. bonds are not often used for utility capital projects.
Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) bonds can also be issued up to a statutory ceiling without a
vote of the people. In Washington, they are sometimes referred to as "councilmanic" bonds. Unlike
G.O. bonds, LTGO debt does not authorize additional property taxes; instead, it must be repaid
within the City's existing taxing authority. Usually there are competing demands for that funding
within a City, and for that reason, LTGO debt is not often used for utility capital projects either.
Revenue Bonds
Revenue bonds are secured by the revenues of the issuing utility; the debt obligation does not extend
to the City's other revenue sources. With this limited commitment, revenue bonds usually bear higher
interest rates than G.O. bonds. Revenue bonds typically require the achievement of minimum debt
service coverage each year. Revenue bonds can be issued in Washington without a public vote. There
is no limit, except the practical limit of the utility's ability to generate revenue to repay the debt and
meet debt service coverage each year.
Forecast Assumption: The forecast assumes that the City will issue revenue bonds when debt is
needed. While low-cost state loans are typically preferred, revenue bonds are conservatively assumed as
they require the forecast to cover higher interest rates and debt service coverage requirements. If the City
secures low-cost state loans, that will be a positive result that will not negatively impact the forecast, while
the inverse could have a negative impact on the forecast (relying on state loans but ultimately needing to
rely on revenue bonds instead which have higher interest and debt service coverage requirements).
Debt Service / Reserve — Fund 424
A debt reserve is most often required as a condition of bond issuance, though some state loan
programs also require a reserve. The reserve intends to protect bondholders (or the agency issuing
loans) from the risk of the borrower defaulting on their payments and is most often linked to either
average annual debt service or maximum annual debt service.
Recommended Policy: The policy should be dictated by terms outlined in contracts for debt obligations.

Debt Service Coverage
Stormwater Utility Rate Study
page 7
Debt service coverage is typically a requirement associated with revenue bonds and some state loans,
and it is an important benchmark to measure the riskiness of the water utility's capital funding plans.
Coverage is most easily understood as a factor applied to annual debt service. In such a case, if it
issues revenue bonds, the utility agrees to collect enough revenue to meet operating expenses and not
only pay debt service but to collect an additional factor (often 25%) above bonded debt service. The
extra revenue is a "cushion" that makes bondholders more confident that debt service will be paid on
time.
F
Recommended Policy: While a factor of 1.25 is a common legal minimum coverage requirement for
revenue bonds, we recommend a more conservative internal policy coverage target of at least 1.50 to
2.00 for revenue bond debt. We are not currently aware of any debt service coverage requirements
related to the City's existing stormwater-related loans.
Rate Funded System Reinvestment (Rate Funded Capital)
Rate funded system reinvestment is the funding of long-term infrastructure replacement needs
through a regular (annual) and predictable rate provision. Most commonly, utilities that have
addressed replacement funding needs have used historical (original cost) depreciation expense as the
basis for a reasonable level of reinvestment in the system. In other cases, utilities strive to rate fund
routine repair and replacement projects, saving debt for larger and / or more one-time type projects.
Recommended Policy: Set rates to fund a majority of routine repair and replacement projects with cash,
such as the City's Ongoing Conveyance System Improvement Program. This annual program is
expected to cost approximately $1,000,000 per year in 2022 dollars.
Summary of Fiscal Policies
Exhibit 6 provides a summary of the recommended fiscal policies for the City.
Exhibit 6: Summary of Fiscal Policies
Operating Reserve Achieve a year-end minimum balance target of 90 days (25%) of total annual
operating expenditures. This target increases as the City's operating costs increase.
Capital Reserve Achieve a year-end target of at least 1 % of the original cost of fixed assets.
Operating plus Capital Compare the combined operating plus capital targets against the City's adopted
policy of two to three months of recurring revenues.
Rate Funded Capital Strive to rate fund a majority of the City's ongoing Conveyance System Improvement
Program, which is estimated to be roughly $1,000,000 per year, plus inflation.
Debt Service Coverage While a factor of 1.25 is a common legal minimum coverage for revenue bonds,
achieve an internal policy coverage target of at least 1.50 to 2.00 when possible.

Section III. REVENUE REQUIREMENT
As previously mentioned, the main purpose of the revenue requirement analysis is to develop a
funding plan ("revenue requirement") for the 2022-2041 study period. For each level of service, the
revenue requirement identifies the total rate revenue needed to fully fund the utility on a standalone
basis considering current financial obligations including operating expenditures, existing debt
service, policy -driven commitments, and future capital project needs. Rate increases are applied
"across-the-board" — that is, it is assumed that each charge on the rate schedule increases by the same
percentage, which maintains the existing rate structure.
Economic & Inflation Factors
The operating and maintenance expenditure forecast largely relies on the City's 2022-2024 budgets.
The line items in the budget are then adjusted each year by utilizing one of the following applicable
factors:
• General Cost Inflation. Assumed to be 3.0 percent per year based on both the Washington State
Economic & Revenue Forecast Council projection for the Consumer Price Index and the recent
historical performance of the Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue Consumer Price Index.
• Construction Cost Inflation. Assumed to be 3.5 percent per year based on the Engineering News-
Record's Construction Cost Index (20-City Average).
• Taxes. State Business and Occupation tax rate of 1.75 percent (taxable revenue goes above the
$1.0 million threshold) and the City utility tax rate of 5.00 percent.
• Personnel Cost Inflation. Based on Employment Cost Indices (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics),
experience with other stormwater utilities, and discussions with City staff.
» Labor inflation: assumed to be 3.0 percent per year.
» Benefits inflation: assumed to be 5.0 percent per year.
• Cost per Additional Full -Time Equivalent (FTE). Each level of service incorporates additional staff.
Based on discussions with City staff, we assumed a "fully loaded" cost of $125,000 per FTE
(2022 $), which is assumed to include both wages and benefits.
• Fund Earnings. Assumed to be 2.25% percent per year based on recent earnings reports from the
State's Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) at the time of the analysis.
• Customer Account Growth. City staff provided a detailed growth forecast for the 2023-2025
period, based on projects currently identified in the City's permitting pipeline. Based on that
forecast, City staff estimated that 300 impervious surface units would be added each year through
2025, and that 150 units per year would be added after that. This equates to annual growth rates
of approximately 2.75% per year through 2025 and 1.25% for each year thereafter.

Staffing & Other Operational Funding Needs
According to the City's 2023 Comprehensive Plan, "City staff can address surface water and
stormwater problems that arise on a daily basis and troubleshoot specific issues that arise with
development project reviews. However, they are not fully able to perform activities that would enable
continual improvement of the City's surface water management program. Current staffing levels will
not be adequate to meet the rest of the requirements of the 2019-2024 Phase II Permit and long-term
goals defined as part of this Plan." The resulting staffing requirements and other funding needs (e.g.,
consultant support) are shown by level of service in Exhibits 8 and 9.
Additional Staffing Requirements
Herrera Environmental Consultants (Herrera) worked with City staff to identify the following
staffing requirements (above those that are included in the 2023-24 budget). By 2029, LOS 1 would
require 1.7 additional full-time equivalents (FTEs), LOS 2 would require 4.7 additional FTEs, and
LOS 3 would require 5.5 additional FTEs.

Summary notes related to the capital plan are provided below for the three levels of service:
• Level of Service 1: The 2022-2041 CIP totals $25 million ($1.2 million per year) in 2022 dollars
and $36 million with forecasted inflation ($1.8 million per year).
• Level of Service 2: The 2022-2041 CIP totals $34 million ($1.7 million per year) in 2022 dollars
and $48 million with forecasted inflation ($2.4 million per year).
• Level of Service 3: The 2022-2041 CIP totals $45 million ($2.3 million per year) in 2022 dollars
and $58 million with forecasted inflation ($2.9 million per year).
Capital Funding Strategy
The 2022-2041 capital plan varies in funding sources as well as total capital. The latter is due to
changes in capital timing and associated inflation. A few observations are shown below:
• Rate funded capital ranges from $17.4 to $23.4 million in each level of service.
• Borrowing increases from $15 million in LOS 1 to $34 million in LOS 3.
• Assumed grants and other sources decrease from $28.6 million in LOS 1 to just $0.5 million in
LOS 3; it is assumed that the general fund contributes $0.5 million in each level of service for a
multi -purpose land acquisition budgeted for 2023.
• Total capital in LOS 3 is much less than LOS 1 or LOS 2 because most projects are assumed to
be completed in the next six years, which reduces the impact of inflation compared to a twenty-
year completion schedule.

Section IV. CAPITAL FACILITY CHARGES
Introduction
Capital Facility Charges (CFCs) are one-time fees, paid at the time of development, intended to
recover a share of the cost of system capacity needed to serve growth. As part of the rate study, the
City tasked FCS GROUP with calculating a CFC for the City's stormwater utility. As noted
previously, some of the capital cost elements vary based on the level of service which results in a
unique CFC for each level of service. CFCs serve two primary purposes:
• to provide equity between existing and new customers; and
• to provide a source of funding for system capital costs, as growth occurs.
The CFC is an upfront charge imposed on growth and is primarily a charge on new development,
although also applicable to expansion or densification of development when such actions increase
requirements for utility system capacity. Charges imposed on redevelopment should be net of any
existing developed area on the site.
The City of Port Orchard has water and sewer CFCs but does not currently have a stormwater CFC.
This report documents the methodology and resulting CFC for the City's consideration.
Legal Basis
There are a variety of approaches that are used in the industry to establish a defensible capital facility
charge. The City is authorized to assess such charges under Section 35.92.025 of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW). It is important that the City's methodology to determine cost -based CFCs is
consistent with RCW 35.92.025 and applicable case law. Additionally, under RCW 35.67.010,
"system of sewerage" is defined to include stormwater facilities.
RCW 35.92.025: "Cities and towns are authorized to charge property owners seeking to connect to the
water or sewerage system of the city or town as a condition to granting the right to so connect, in addition
to the cost of such connection, such reasonable connection charge as the legislative body of the city or
town shall determine proper in order that such property owners shall bear their equitable share of the cost
of such system."
RCW 35.92.025 is silent regarding specific methodology to be used in the charge calculation.
However, language contained in the Special District RCW 57.08.005 (11) does provide some
guidance regarding specific methodology. While this guidance does not legally apply to municipal
stormwater utilities, there are elements that help inform the methodology used for stormwater CFCs.
Since the calculated charges represent the maximum allowable charge, the City may choose to
implement a charge at any level up to the calculated charge.
Methodology
Exhibit 16 shows the recommended approach for the CFC calculation. Under this methodology, all
capital costs (existing assets and future projects net of provisions for retirement) are divided by the
estimated future customer base. This calculation is like a simple buy -in charge (which consists of
��� F C S GROUP www.fcsgroup.com
City of Port Orchard Stormwater Utility Rate Study
December 2022 page 16
existing costs divided by existing customers), except that it is projected into a future year after the
planned capital projects are completed and after incorporating estimated customer growth. The
resulting CFC is generally stable over time. The main policy emphasis here is on intergenerational
equity — there is no cost advantage for either existing or new customers.
Exhibit 16: CFC Calculation Methodology
Capital Facility Charge
Existing Future
Cost Basis Cost Basis
Applicable System Capacity
(Customer Base)
The capital costs used in the CFC calculation can be separated into two major categories:
• Existing system costs: These costs represent the net investment in assets that currently provide
service to customers (and that presumably have some amount of capacity to serve growth).
• Future capital costs: These costs refer to capital improvement projects that the utility plans to
undertake within a period of time specified in the system planning documents. A provision for
capital retirement — a calculation to account for the original value of the assets any new capital
projects are repairing or replacing — is deducted from the total future capital projects.
The existing estimated system capacity is measured in impervious service units (ISUs).
Existing Cost Basis
The existing cost portion of the calculation is intended to recognize the current ratepayers' net
investment in the original cost of system assets. The main provisions of the calculation include the
following elements:
• Utility Plant -In -Service: The existing cost basis is comprised of the original cost of plant -in-
service, as documented in the fixed asset schedule of the stormwater utility.
» The City's records as of the end of 2021 identify $13.3 million in stormwater-related assets.
• Plus: Construction -Work -in -Progress: Projects that the City is currently constructing are eligible
to be included in the cost basis, similar to an existing asset.
» As of the end of 2021, the City had $3.0 million in construction -work -in -progress.
• Less: Contributed Capital: Assets funded by developers, grants, or from any agency other than
the City of Port Orchard are excluded from the cost basis on the premise that the CFC should
only recover costs actually incurred by City ratepayers.
» The City's records identified $5.0 million in stormwater grants and contributions in aid of
construction (developer donations) received by the utility.
• Plus: Interest on Non -Contributed Plant: The RCW and subsequent legal interpretations provide
such charges can include interest on an asset at the rate applicable at the time of construction.
Interest can accumulate for a maximum of ten years from the date of construction for any
particular asset. Conceptually, this interest provision attempts to account for the opportunity
��� FC5 GROUP I] www.fcsgroup.com
City of Port Orchard Stormwater Utility Rate Study
December 2022 page 17
costs that the City's customers incurred by supporting investments in infrastructure rather than
having it available for other needs.
» Accumulated interest on non -contributed assets adds approximately $2.4 million to the
existing cost basis.
• Less: Net Debt Principal Outstanding: Another adjustment to the existing cost basis is to deduct
the net liability of outstanding utility debt, since that new customers will bear a proportionate
share of annual debt service through ongoing utility rates. Outstanding debt represents assets that
have been placed into service, but that today's ratepayers have not yet paid for.
» The City currently has two outstanding loans relating to its stormwater utility, with $1.8
million in debt principal outstanding. As of the beginning of 2022, however, beginning cash
balances total $2.5 million. Since cash balances exceed the outstanding debt, no deduction is
made from the cost basis as cash could theoretically be used to reduce the debt principal.
The sum of these elements results in a total existing cost basis of $13.6 million.

Total Existing Cost Basis JMJ $ 13,584,37,
Future Cost Basis
The future cost basis is intended to recognize the ratepayers' net investment in the projects to be
completed in the future. The main elements of the calculation include the capital improvement plan, and
in some cases, offsetting grants. One additional adjustment to these numbers is a provision for capital
retirements, which is also discussed below. Exhibit 18 summarizes these elements for each level of
service. Each level of service has a unique future cost basis.
• Capital Improvement Plan: A utility capital improvement plan (CIP) includes projects that
address many needs, including system expansion, upgrades and the repair and replacement of
infrastructure. In some cases, a single CIP project can serve more than one of these purposes. The
City's CIP covers years 2022 through 2041 and project costs are in 2022 dollars.
Note: We do not escalate capital projects in a CFC for a couple of reasons. First, we do not know
with certainty when projects will be constructed or what inflation will be. Second, we prefer to
use the original cost in the calculation, and then the City can increase the charges with the
Engineering News -Record Construction Cost Index or another inflator to accomplish the same
thing with more accuracy.

City of Port Orchard Stormwater Utility Rate Study
December 2022 page 18
• Less: Developer Contributions/Grants: Projects or portions of projects assumed to be funded by
grants may be excluded from the calculation. It is assumed that without the level of grant funding
noted, corresponding projects would not be executed.
» All levels of service include $500,000 in assistance from the general fund, as listed in the
City's 2023 budget. Our understanding is that this is a contribution from the general fund for
a portion of a multi -purpose property acquisition.
• Less: Provision for Capital Retirement: Many capital projects are replacing existing assets. To
avoid including the value of these projects twice — once in the existing assets and again in the
capital plan — a provision for capital retirement is used on projects or portions thereof that are
deemed repair and replacement (R&R). The provision for capital retirement determines the
approximate original cost of the asset the R&R project is replacing, using the useful life of the
new project and the historic ENR Construction Cost Index. The sum of the provision for capital
retirement calculations is then removed from the future capital project total. In simple terms, if a
retention pond expected to last 50 years is being installed in 2018 (and replacing an existing
pond), the provision for retirement determines how much that asset cost in 1968 and removes that
portion of the project cost from the calculation.

So far, the report has discussed the numerator in the CFC, with its two main components: the value
of existing assets and future capital costs. The denominator in the CFC calculation is the projected
number of impervious surface units, or ISUs. The same time horizon for both the capital
improvement plan and assumed customer growth is used in the CFC calculation — 2022 through
2041. This ensures that the numerator and the denominator cover the same period.

The following exhibit shows summary calculations for the City's stormwater CFC for each level of
service. Per the City's municipal code, one impervious surface unit (ISU) is defined as a single-
family residential account (including mobile homes) or 3,000 impervious square feet of ground cover
for all other developed parcels. It is assumed that the City would use the same definition when
administering a stormwater capital facility charge if a stormwater CFC were to be implemented.

As noted previously, these charges reflect the maximum defensible CFC by level of service. The
Council could adopt, by policy, a CFC that is lower than the indicated amounts and / or choose to
phase -in to a targeted level over a multi -year period.

SUMMARY
Exhibits 21, Exhibit 22, and Exhibit 23 detail the rate plans that support each defined level of
service. These increases allow the utility to accomplish the following:
• Fund existing and forecasted operating expenses, plus cost escalation;
• Cover existing and future debt service obligations;
• Allow the utility to fund $36 to $58 million in capital projects from 2022-2041, net of grants;
• Generate $1.4 to $2.2 million per year for rate -funded capital by 2041; and
• Maintain utility reserves at recommended levels throughout the forecast.

Capital Facility Charge
The recommended maximum CFC is $2,469 per ISU for Level of Service 1, $3,087 for Level of Service
2, and $3,914 for Level of Service 3. It is recommended that the CFC be revisited every few years to
ensure that the charge is keeping pace with the utility's capital investments and that the adopted charge
be indexed for inflation.
Single -Family Residential Rate Comparison
As a resource to the City and its customers, a rate survey of western Washington stormwater utilities was

Single -Family Stormwater CFC Comparison
FCS GROUP also conducted a survey of western Washington stormwater CFCs. The three potential
CFCs of $2,469 for Level of Service 1, $3,087 for Level of Service 2, and $3,914 for Level of
Service 3 are on the higher end of charges in the area, but it is important to remember these are
simply legal maximums, not required charges. By policy, the City could adopt a charge at any
amount up to the calculated charge. Note that some cities, such as Bothell and Redmond, have basin -
specific charges that range from $6,000 to $15,000.

Updating This Study's Findings
It is recommended that the City revisit the study findings during the forecast period to check that the
assumptions used are still appropriate and no significant changes have occurred that would alter the
results of the study. The City should use the study findings as a living document, routinely
comparing the study outcomes to actual revenues and expenses. Any significant or unexpected
changes will require adjustments to the rate strategy proposed in this report.
