PORT ORCHARD STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN (SMAP)
UPDATE
On September 19, 2025, the City of Port Orchard (City) authorized Herrera Environmental Consultants
(Herrera) to prepare a scope of work and budget to assist the City with a Stormwater Management
Action Plan (SMAP) update to comply with its Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit
(Phase II permit). This scope of work includes an update to the Lower Blackjack Creek, Catchment A
SMAP (original SMAP; Herrera 2022). The update will identify additional actions to the original SMAP and
focus on compliance with the new 2024-2029 Phase II permit requirements and Ecology's Stormwater
Management Action Planning Guidance (July 24, Publication 24-10-027).
This scope of work includes a discussion of the activities, assumptions, deliverables, and a schedule
associated with this project:
• Task 1.0 — Project Management............................................................................................................1
• Task 2.0 — Data Compilation and Review...........................................................................................2
• Task 3.0 — SMAP Action Identification
• Task 4.0 — SMAP Update Report.......
..................................................................................... 3
............................................................................................ 5
• Task 5.0 — Contingency Task.............................................................................................................6
• Project Schedule.........................................................................................................................................7
All meetings will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams and all deliverables will be electronic unless
otherwise noted.
Task 1.0 - Project Management
Herrera's project manager, Julianne Chechanover, will be responsible for ongoing administration of the
project, including preparing invoices and progress reports, as well as coordination of work efforts with
the designated client point of contact, Melinda Lohre. Herrera's project manager will have phone and

SCOPE OF WORK
Assumptions
• Up to two 30 -minute check -in meetings per month will be scheduled as needed.
Deliverables
• Monthly progress reports and invoices.
Task 2.0 - Data Compilation and Review
The purpose of this task is to compile the data needed to prepare the SMAP update, including
understanding the status of proposed actions in the original SMAP, additional implemented or planned
activities, City priorities, and constraints.
To achieve these objectives, Task 2 will begin with a kickoff workshop (Workshop #1) attended by the
Herrera team and City staff. Herrera will prepare and share a SMAP Update Matrix ahead of the
workshop that identifies all Phase II permit -required SMAP components (S5.C.1.d.i), actions planned in
the original SMAP (where applicable), and a column for a status update for each action. The matrix will
include information about the following SMAP actions:
• Stormwater facility retrofits needed for the area
• Land management/development strategies identified for water quality management
• Focused, enhanced, or customized implementation of stormwater management actions related
to Phase II permit sections within 55, including:
o IDDE field screening
o Prioritization of source control inspections
o O&M inspections or enhancement maintenance
o Public education and outreach behavior change programs
The objectives of Workshop #1 will include, but are not limited to:
• Confirming project goals and objectives.
• Reviewing status of all actions identified in the original SMAP and discuss any other actions
conducted in the basin since development of the original SMAP.
• Discussing planned actions and brainstorm potential additional actions to include in the SMAP
update.

SCOPE OF WORK
• Identifying methods to incorporate overburdened communities in the SMAP update.
• Discussing City resources and constraints for implementation of actions.
• Identifying data needs and sources.
Following the workshop, Herrera will deliver a revised SMAP Update Matrix incorporating input from the
workshop discussion as part of a summary of workshop notes and prepare a data request for the City.
The data request may include GIS data layers updated since the preparation of the original SMAP.
Assumptions
• Workshop #1 will be 2 hours in duration.
• The City will summarize the status of the stormwater management actions identified in the original
SMAP in the SMAP Update Matrix at least 2 days before Workshop #1.
• The study area for the SMAP update will be limited to Catchment A of the Lower Blackjack Creek
watershed.
• The SMAP Update Matrix will be considered a facilitation tool and will not be included in the final
SMAP Update Report.
• The scope does not include development, modification, or field verification of existing GIS data
layers.
Deliverables
• Workshop #1 agenda and summary meeting notes
• Draft SMAP Update Matrix (Microsoft Excel)
• Revised SMAP Update Matrix (Microsoft Excel)
Task 3.0 - SMAP Action Identification and
Development
This task will address the Phase II permit requirement that the SMAP update must identify "additional
actions for the existing SMAP."
Herrera will review the existing land management strategies and stormwater management actions in the
original SMAP, identify new land management strategies and stormwater management actions, and
develop the new land management strategies to meet the City's goals and further protect Lower
Blackjack Creek. These actions will be also considered in terms of their potential effectiveness for
removing or reducing pollutants or controlling stormwater in relation to the cost of the activity.

SCOPE OF WORK
In addition to the original SMAP, Herrera will review the City's 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update to
evaluate zoning, land use, and critical areas. Herrera will discuss recent or proposed development plans
with City staff to develop an understanding of development and redevelopment potential and
development type in the basin. This information will be used to evaluate land management strategies
that should be considered for the catchment, including possible zoning modifications, strategic land
purchase, and programs to require or incentivize the following:
• Riparian buffer expansion
• Increased tree canopy cover
• Green area creation or enhancement (e.g., minimum green area on a parcel)
• Forest and wildland preservation
• Soil restoration/regeneration
• Impervious surface conversion
Herrera will develop recommended land management strategies and stormwater management actions to
incorporate into the SMAP Matrix. These land management strategies and stormwater management
actions will focus on Lower Blackjack Creek, Catchment A, but may include further review to determine
whether the recommendations could apply to other areas of the City.
Herrera will also incorporate any existing capital projects from the City's Capital Facilities into the SMAP
Matrix as "stormwater facility retrofits" if the project meets the following requirements:
• Located within Lower Blackjack Creek Watershed, Catchment A
• Provides water quality treatment and/or flow control through retrofitting existing facilities or
constructing new facilities
After updating the SMAP Matrix, Herrera will hold an additional workshop (Workshop #2) with City staff
to present and obtain feedback on the updated actions and to discuss any refinements needed to their
scope, budget, and/or schedule prioritization. Based on feedback from the City, Herrera will finalize the
SMAP Matrix.
Assumptions
• Workshop #2 will be 2 hours in duration.
• This task does not include site visits to identify additional actions.

SCOPE OF WORK
• Herrera will incorporate any known existing capital projects into the SMAP Update Matrix, but this
task does not include identification or conceptual design of new stormwater retrofit projects.
• The SMAP Update Matrix will be considered a facilitation tool and will not be included in the final
SMAP Update Report.
Deliverables
• Workshop #2 agenda and summary meeting notes
• Final SMAP Update Matrix (Microsoft Excel)
Task 4.0 - SMAP Update Report
Herrera will develop the SMAP Update Report, using the same outline as the original SMAP. The report
will create a roadmap to achieve the actions identified in the SMAP update.
The report will document the process used to identify opportunities and summarize the land
management strategies and stormwater program action recommendations. It will describe planned
stormwater facility retrofits (if applicable). It will include cost estimates for implementation, identification
of potential funding options, an implementation schedule that identifies short-term actions (i.e., actions
to be accomplished within 6 years) and long-term actions (i.e., actions to be accomplished within 7 to 20
years), and the likely budget sources for implementing those actions. The SMAP report will also evaluate
the benefits to overburdened communities (if applicable) and describe a process for ongoing assessment,
feedback, and updates.
Public outreach could also be conducted at this phase in the process through a virtual workshop to
confirm the approach and implementation schedule outlined in the SMAP report. This public outreach
effort will be limited to 8 hours of technical support.
Assumptions
• Any public outreach will be conducted by the City with up to 8 hours of technical support from one
Herrera staff.
• The SMAP Report will be up to 20 pages in length.
• The SMAP Report will include up to two GIS maps showing an overview of the basin and identified
stormwater retrofit projects.
• The budget assumes one round of review of the SMAP Report. The City will provide a consolidated
set of review comments for the SMAP Report.
