RE: Illicit Discharge 20002 Maplewood Dr
Bruce O'Neil,
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
An illegal discharge problem was brought to my attention on October 29, 2008. Silt and residue was found
in the storm/creek system downstream of the Jurich property where your construction company,
Designworks Construction, is working under the building permit 2009-0505. The erosion control
measures in place are not sufficient to keep all silt runoff on your site.
This storm/creek system leads to Northstream Creek and discharges directly into Puget Sound. The
system is intended for storm runoff only and the water receives no treatment downstream, which means
that fish and wildlife habitat are impacted by any pollutant discharges. Construction runoff can be
significantly detrimental to this habitat.
The discharge of silt runoff into the City's stormwater collection system due to construction activities
constitutes a violation of Edmonds City Code 7.200.070 A 2 and is subject to enforcement actions.
Payment of fines to cover administrative and remediation costs associated with this violation is authorized
in accordance with Edmonds City Code 7.200.150.
In accordance with these regulations you are hereby directed to,
1 ) Abatement of illegal discharge to stream within 24 hours of this notice.
2) Pay fines of $100 per day and all costs associated with the enforcement of each violation,
including but not limited to administration expenses and remediation costs associated with this
violation.
3) Within 24 hours of this notice necessary erosion control and sedimentation shall be in place and
an erosion control plan with outline of steps taken must be submitted to the Engineering Division
for review.
If you should fail to meet the deadline given for implementation of effective erosion and sediment
Control, the Public Works director will send out a city crew or a designated contractor to perform the
necessary work, and the expense thereof shall be charged to the violator.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please feel free to contact Jerry Shuster, Stormwater
Engineer or JoAnne Zulauf at the Engineering Division at 771-0220.
