Operations and Maintenance refers to the day-to-day operations of running the Surface Water Program, as well as long term goals for maintaining the structures of the system.
In 2015 City of Kenmore authored an
Operations & Maintenance Practices and Policies Manual to outline the program. The manual describes various Public Works activities as well as stormwater specific maintenance activities. The National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (
NPDES) permit set forth various requirements and maintenance standards that insure protection of waterbodies.
