It is well established that compost production and use provide significant environmental benefits to the soil and food, and for these reasons, ESSHB 1799 requires that most cities and counties in Washington adopt a compost procurement ordinance by 2023. Page 32 of 310 The goal of the compost procurement ordinance is to encourage procurement of composting products by the City of Pasco, as well as to comply with the requirements of RCW 43.19A. Staff would welcome discussion on how best to implement these requirements in the City of Pasco and recommend s approval of the proposed Ordnance (attached) creating a new Chapter 8.07 entitled “Compost Procurement” of the Pasco Municipal Code.

As indicated in the 2018 -2038 Comprehensive Plan, and codified in PMC 25.215.015, the intent of the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use is to allow a combination of residential and commercial uses within the same Page 38 of 310 development or development site. This land use also encourages a variet y of housing types ranging from single-family to townhomes, apartments, and condominiums at a density of 5 to 29 units per acre. While the Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed -use developments, there is not a zoning district that would enable this citywid e. The proposed amendment would implement the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use, allowing an applicant to utilize the proposed zoning district to meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Implementation of the proposed code amendment would require a rezone that is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. For example, a parcel that is currently zoned C-1 in the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use designation may apply for a rezone to the new MU (Mixed-Use District). This requires a public hearing with the Pasco Hearing Examiner, followed by final approval by the Pasco City Council. Subsequent permits for buildings and projects would then be required to conform with established Mixed Use District standards. Environmental Determination City staff issued the Notice of Application on November 29, 2022. A Determination of Non-Significance was published on December 28, 2022, and no comments were received on the SEPA Determination. This proposed zoning code has been discussed at Council worksho ps in February and April of this year. V. DISCUSSION: The proposed PMC amendment was considered at three meetings with the Planning Commission, including two (2) public hearings held in December 2022, and January 2023. While no public comments were rec eived, staff did make minor modifications, with the support of the proposal applicant. Department staff recommended that the proposal amend an existing Waterfront Development Zoning District, rather than create an entirely new and separate zoning district. The proposed amendment calls out where the current Waterfront Development District shall be enforced (for example, within the Osprey Pointe) and where the new citywide proposal will be applied. The proposed PMC amendment meets several comprehensive plan goals and policies and addresses regulations' deficiencies. Several questions and comments were shared during the City Council Workshop held in February 2023. A summary of the discussion, with responses, has been provided below: Recreational Uses: • The purpose statement of the proposed district has been updated to emphasize the accessibility and proximity of recreational sites and uses. Page 39 of 310 • Added as a conditional use Relationship to PMC (Fences, Pets, etc.) • The reference of other provisions of the PMC, such as fence or pet regulations, is to ensure consistency between zoning districts. Connectivity/Transportation • Reduced block lengths increase walkability and accessibility within and around a site. Mixed-Use developments are afforded more options for mode choice with reduced block sizes. Cul-de-sacs limit access and reduce opportunities for higher-intensity uses to meet the level of service standards for transportation. Provisions for transportation connectivity in the proposal align with best practices for mixed-use developments. • Exemptions added per Council discussion Design Standard Recommendations • Removed per Council discussion Staff is seeking additional input and comments on the proposed code amendment. Staff notes that the proposal makes references to existing codes in the PMC. As amendments to the PMC occur, it is the expectation that all references will be updated, as applicable.

Page 65 of 310 Ordinance – Amending PMC 25.20.010 and PMC 25.127 - 26 PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, on this ____ day of ______________, 2023. _____________________________ Blanche Barajas Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: _____________________________ ___________________________ Debra Barham, CMC Kerr Ferguson Law, PLLC City Clerk City Attorneys Published: _________________________ Page 66 of 310 Page 1 of 1 TO: Jacob Gonzales DATE: 9/27/2022 FROM: Nicole Stickney PROJECT NO.: 2220070.30 PROJECT NAME: Elite - Mixed Use Zoning SUBJECT: Proposal Narrative The following provides a brief overview of the proposal (zoning text amendment) we submitted last month to amend PMC 25.127. Thank you for your assistance with this process. The Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates multiple areas of the city with the land use classification of "Mixed Residential Commercial," but does not currently have a zoning district to facilitate mixed uses throughout the City. Accordingly, we propose that the City Council amend Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 25.127 (Waterfront Development Dist.) which was written for the lands near the Columbia River at Osprey Pointe. We suggest the chapter be renamed to “Mixed Use (MU) District” and we have proposed a set of modifications to the code . These modifications are recommended to allow a compatible, integrated mix of commercial (and office, education, and government uses) and residential uses, and to carry out the comprehensive plan (particularly the Mixed Residential Commercial land use classification). The amendment of Chapter 25.127 would broaden the applicability of the chapter, so that the zoning code would apply city-wide (and no longer be specific to only Osprey Pointe). The zoning district would be an implementing zone that could be assigned to properties classified as “Mixed Residential Commercial” on the city’s Land Use Map. •The Mixed Use (MU) zoning designation would fill the current gap between the Comprehensive Plan (which has a Mixed Residential Commercial” designation on the City’s Land Use map) and the zoning regulations of Pasco, in order to carry out the goals of the comprehensive plan. The zoning text amendment would be a citywide change and would impact properties adjacent to any areas rezoned in the future to the MU designation. This designation would be compatible with a range of uses including residential, office, retail, public services, schools, and other uses. •The proposed zoning text amendment would carry out the intentions of the Comprehensive Plan and the "Mixed Residential Commercial" land use designation. This includes expanding housing options while potentially reducing car dependency (see Goals in the Land Use (LU), Housing (H) and Transportation (TR) Elements, numbered LU-4, LU-5, LU-6, H-1, H-3, and TR-1). •The proposal to amend the zoning district is intended to provide a high level of diversity in housing types and move toward the city’s land use and housing goals relating to density. Ground floor, neighborhood- scale commercial and/or office uses are encouraged to create a cohesive pedestrian-oriented community. The creation of growth opportunities, and infill, within the UGA of the City is in alignment with the goals of the GMA to reduce sprawl, which in-turn, reduces energy needs and reliance on natural resources. Moreover, this also complements the work that staff has recently engaged in, working on implementing the city’s first Housing Action Plan. •Implementation of the proposed zoning text amendment and subsequent development could foster a mix of uses located in proximity to one another, such as commercial and residential uses. This then may lead to a potential decrease in energy and natural resources uses, facilitating residents to reduce automobile commute times to/ from home to work and to/from other activities. c: J. Trinidad (Trini) Garibay, CEO/ Co-Founder: Elite Construction + Development EXHIBIT B Page 67 of 310 SUMMARY OF MAJOR CHANGES (NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST) Criteria/Regulation Recommendation Rationale Chapter Change Waterfront to Mixed Use District Implements the Comprehensive Plan land use designation and goals and policies; applies to a wider area Relation to other Codes This zone will not be considered a “residential” zone for purposes of interpreting other Title 25 regulations There are codes that discuss spacing or other development standards that relate to residentially zoned areas (i.e. PMC 25.165.205, 25.165.050(2)(a)) Permitted Commercial Use Outside of Osprey Pointe store / shop size is 40,000 gross square feet (compared with 80,000) - larger is allowed with a CUP Encourage neighborhood stores and specialty centers; encourage right-sizing the retail for compatibility with residential Prohibited Uses Added “Single Room Occupancy Units” as a prohibited use There is a current moratorium on SRO’s – these can be studied and amended later, if desired Dimensional Standards (outside of Osprey Pointe) Same as existing, create a separate section to distinguish between Osprey Pointe and City-Wide Separate standards are created to maintain the original site- specific code of Osprey Pointe, and to develop code for the purposes of City-wide implementation. While theses standards are currently proposed to be identical we want to structure the code so that future changes could be made in a straight-forward fashion. Maximum Building Height at all other locations (outside of Osprey Pointe) •Commercial, office, education and government uses: maximum 85’ except with a special permit •Residential accessory: 15’ •Residential detached single-family and duplex: 40’ •Residential courtyard apartments/condos: 45’ •Multifamily adjacent to commercial areas or in mixed-use buildings: 90’ The proposed height limits for single-family detached, duplexes, and courtyard apartments / condominiums are consistent with R-3 and R-4. Landscaping •Materials and spacing requirements Provide a higher standard for area beautification; creates a EXHIBIT C Page 68 of 310 • Road frontage landscape buffers on commercial properties adjacent to or across from residential zones • Landscaping on pedestrian walkways buffer between residentially zoned properties Design standards (transportation) (outside of Osprey Pointe1) Cul-de-sac prohibition, maximum block length, and private street allowance Provides flexibility in street design; promotes a walkable and bikeable area; improve street connectivity and promote safety Building design standards (outside of Osprey Pointe) Requirements for architectural elements, exterior wall materials, frontage walls, pedestrian entry treatments, and electrical / mechanical equipment screening, and allowance for sidewalk seating Similar to I-182 overlay standards. The intent is to implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan by promoting high quality development using aesthetically pleasing designs, creating a safe pedestrian-oriented streetscape, and upgrading Pasco’s visual identity, and reduce the impact of parking lots and blank walls. Screening standards (outside of Osprey Pointe) Screening of equipment, materials and goods behind 100% sight obscuring fence, wall or structure Similar to I-182 overlay standards. Promote high quality urban areas. Temporary business standards (outside of Osprey Pointe) Allows temporary businesses. Includes regulations for temporary businesses on siting, accessory equipment, and signage. Similar to I-182 overlay standards. Provides limitations on accessory equipment to keep the business temporary Sign standards (outside of Osprey Pointe) Requirements for signs including permitted and prohibited signs. Establishes relief. Similar to the I-182 overlay standards. Protect against unsafe signs and recognize speech rights. Design requirements (structures, site planning, and landscaping) (outside of Osprey Pointe) Creates desirable and undesirable elements of project design to encourage and discourage certain design elements. Allows for flexibility in design as design is often contextually based. 1 These additional design standards / requirements are not proposed at Osprey Pointe as some property has already been developed with certain standards. The Osprey Pointe site is under a master development agreement. Page 69 of 310 MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue – Council Chambers DATE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2023 6:30 PM 1 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Code Amendment: Mixed Use Zoning District (MF# CA2022-003) Background The City has received a request for a zoning text amendment to the Waterfront Development District Zoning District (WDD) and for the establishment of a new Mixed Use (MU) Zoning District. PMC 25.210.020 states that any person, firm, corporation or group of individuals, or municipal department may petition the Pasco City Council for a zone or text change. The Waterfront Development District (adopted January 2021, via Ordinance No 4514) was established to allow the location of a compatible mix of commercial, residential, and recreational uses on parcels situated close to the Columbia River waterfront and within the Osprey Pointe property, historically owned by the Port of Pasco. Outside of the WDD, the city does not provide development standards or regulations for mixed use projects, sites, or building. The request for a text amendment would identify a set of modifications to the WDD, that would facilitate mixed uses citywide, and implemented under the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use of Mixed Residential and Commercial. The new Mixed Use (MU) Zoning District would allow a compatible, integrated mix of commercial (and office, education, and government uses) and residential uses. Proposal Timeline Date Description October 2022 Planning Commission - Workshop December 2022 Planning Commission – Public Hearing Planning Commission Comments A public hearing with the Pasco Planning Commission was held on December 15, 2022. Several comments and questions were shared by the Planning Commission. These have been paraphrased below along with responses from staff and the amendment applicant. Comment #1 (Commissioner Hendler): Restrictions on cul-de-sacs. Response: Cul-de-sacs are not typically allowed in mixed-use districts due to the emphasis on increased access and providing an environment that is conducive to connectivity and walkability. The proposed ordinance does specific provisions for when a cul-de-sac would be permitted, such as topographic or environmental constraint. EXHIBIT D Page 70 of 310 2 Comment #2 (Chair Cochran): Will the proposed amendment impact the existing Waterfront Development District? Response: No, the proposed amendment will not impact the established regulations that apply to the Osprey Pointe area, as identified in the current version of the Waterfront Development District. The reason for not modifying the regulations that apply to Osprey Pointe is due to the containment of the Osprey Pointe area, which allowed for different regulations, that would not be appropriate at a citywide scale. Comment #3 (Chair Cochran): Are the proposed height thresholds related to the number of allowed stories of a building? Response: Proposed height thresholds would determine the number of stories. An average story is about 10 feet. The Pasco Municipal Code (PMC 25.15.040) defines building height as: “the vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface.” Below is a simplified representation of this provision: Comment #4 (Chair Cochran): The proposed amendment includes a block length recommendation of 600 feet. Is the block length requirement consistent with other efforts currently in-progress? Response: Mixed-Use sites are intended to provide an increase of access and connectivity created via shorter block sizes, block lengths, through a combination of public rights-of- way, access easements, and private streets. The proposed block length ensures that mixed-use sites are in conformance with best practices and recommendations. City staff agrees and supports the applicant’s proposal for a 600-foot block length in the Mixed-Use Zoning District. Comment #5 (Commissioner Hendler): Do the height restrictions include provisions for sloping roofs? Staff: Roof slopes and heights are governed by the Pasco Municipal Code. PMC 25.15.040 defines building heights as: “the vertical distance from grade plane to the average height Page 71 of 310 3 of the highest roof surface.” The proposed ordinance includes recommendations (not requirements) on building design, with an emphasis on creative and high-quality design. Comment #6 (Commissioner Mendez): Clarification on what the proposed amendment would regulate or change regarding signs. Are they similar to the standards in the Interstate I-182 Overlay District? Response: The proposed amendment will not modify the content of signs. The provisions of Title 17 “Sign Code” of the Pasco Municipal Code govern signs. The proposed amendment specifies specific restrictions on sign placement to reduce or mitigation safety hazards that would pose a threat to public health and safety. The proposed sign standards are similar to those in the Interstate 1-182 Overlay District. Comment #7 (Commissioner Torres): How is the proposes amendment applied citywide, with respects to the Comprehensive Plan? Response: Pending adoption, the proposed Mixed-Use Zoning District would be a permitted zoning district allowed via the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use. The 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan describes the intent of the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use is to allow a combination of mixed-use residential and commercial in the same development. The proposed amendment implements the Comprehensive Plan and the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use with a new option that is not currently available. Policy Guidance The proposed code amendment would implement and consistent with the following: • 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan o Land Use Element o Housing Element o Transportation Element • City Council 2022-2023 Goals o Economic Vitality  Implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan through related actions including zoning code changes, phased sign code update, and development regulations and standards. Applicability and Implementation The Mixed-Use Zoning District would be applicable to lands within the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use. The Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use covers approximately 430 acres of lands within the Pasco Urban Growth Area. As indicated in the 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan, and codified in PMC 25.215.015, the intent of the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use is to allow a combination of residential and commercial uses within the Page 72 of 310 4 same development or development site. The Land Use also encourages a variety of housing typologies ranging from single-family to townhomes, apartments, and condominiums at a density of 5 to 29 units per acre. While the Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed-use developments, there is not a zoning district that would enable this citywide. The proposed amendment would implement the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use, allowing an applicant to utilize the proposed zoning district to meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Implementation of the proposed code amendment would require a rezone that is conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. For example, a parcel that is currently zoned C-1 in the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use, may apply for a rezone to the new MU (Mixed-Use District). This requires a public hearing with the Pasco Hearing Examiner, followed by a final approval by the Pasco City Council. Subsequent permits for buildings and projects would then be required to be in conformance with established district standards. Development Standards As indicated in the background section, the proposed code amendment would modify the existing Waterfront Development Zoning District (WDD) to accommodate mixed-use projects citywide. A summary of proposed changes is attached to the staff report as Exhibit A. The draft ordinance (Exhibit B) provides all proposed changes to the WDD. Environmental Determination City staff issued the Notice of Application for on November 29, 2022. A Determination of Non- Significance was issued on December 28, 2022, indicating that the City has determined the proposal does not have a probable adverse impact on the environment. No comments were received on the SEPA. Staff Report Exhibits • Exhibit A: Summary of Changes • Exhibit B: Draft Ordinance RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to close the public hearing on the proposed code amendment for the Mixed- Use Zoning District (CA2022-003) and recommend the Pasco City Council adopt the proposed code amendment as contained in the January 19, 2023, staff report. Page 73 of 310 CALL TO ORDER City of Pasco Planning Commission meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m., by Chair Jerry Cochran. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chair Cochran led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Commissioners Absent: Jay Hendler Staff Present: Community & Economic Development Director Rick White, and Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez and Administrative Assistant II, Carmen Patrick. WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Chair Cochran explained the Planning Commission is an advisory board made up of volunteers appointed by City Council. He further explained the purpose of the Planning Commission was to provide recommendations to City Council regarding changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Updates, Block Grant Allocations and Zoning Code. The Planning Commission is tasked with considering the long-term growth and development of the community, the impact of land use decisions on community, livability, economic opportunity, housing affordability, public services, and the environment. Chair Cochran reminded the audience tonight’s proceedings were being broadcast live on City of Pasco’s Facebook page and on Charter Cable PSC Channel 191 and will be rebroadcast several times during the next month. He stated the meeting was also being recorded and could be watched on City of Pasco’s website, which is Pasco-wa.gov. Click on the VIDEO ON DEMAND link and make your selection there. Chair Cochran stated copies of the meeting agenda were available on the back table. He then asked that everyone silence cell phones to prevent interruptions during the meeting. For those present this evening, when you are given the opportunity to address the Commission, please come to the podium, speak clearly into the microphone, and state your name and city of address for the record. Chair Cochran reminded the audience and the Planning Commission that Washington State Law requires public meetings like the one being held this evening not only be fair, but also appear to be fair. In addition, Washington State Law prohibits Planning Commission members from participating in discussions or decisions in which the member may have a direct interest or may be either benefited or harmed by the Planning Commission’s decision. An objection to any Planning Commission member hearing any matter on tonight’s agenda needs to be aired at this time or it will be waived. Chair Cochran asked if there were any Planning Commission members who have a declaration at this time regarding any of the items on the agenda. Page 74 of 310  No declarations were made. Chair Cochran asked if anyone in the audience objected to any Planning Commission member hearing any of the items on the agenda.  None heard, record shows there were no declarations. Chair Cochran stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission’s decision. He encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Moffitt moved to approve the Planning Commission meeting minutes of December 15, 2022. Commissioner Torres seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS None PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Code Amendment Mixed Use Zoning District (CA2022-001) Good evening members of the Planning Commission. This is a proposal that you've seen before you both in October and November and December of last year. The item was continued from the December meeting to provide some additional opportunity for input and feedback from those in the development community. Background:  The Comprehensive Plan designates multiple areas as “Mixed Residential Commercial: but there is no corresponding zoning code.  Proposal is to amend PMC 25.17, the Waterfront Development District, which was written for Osprey Pointe.  Rename 25.17 to “Mixed Use (MU) District” and modify for City-wide applicability. Comments from the Planning Commission regarding this matter in December:  Circulation and Transportation  Impacts to Osprey Pointe  Height Thresholds  Other Input Received The Mixed Use Zoning District, from staff perspective, certainly aligns and implements several Comprehensive Plan policies based on the land use, housing and transportation element. We think it definitely aligns with council goals adopted last year on economic vitality to provide zoning districts that are based on market demand, that can develop the Page 75 of 310 community in a way that meets the vision expressed by council and that as heard by residents of the City of Pasco and providing businesses with another option for developing in the City as well. Just a short presentation for you this evening. We do have representatives from the applicant here in the audience today if you have additional questions, but other than that, that concludes this presentation today. Again, staff does concur with the proposal and what's included, and there is a recommendation for approval of the City Council on this effort.  Public Comment: Nicole Stickney, AHBL, 5804 Road 90, Ste. H, Pasco, WA. Thank you, Planning Commission and staff. We advanced this application on behalf of a developer that we're working with who owns property, who would like to have this zoning district applied to their property someday, hopefully very soon, and do some mixed use projects. I wanted to highlight that I was also involved with the Waterfront Development District code that came about some time ago when the Port of Pasco had brought it to the City as a proposal. I wasn't at the very front end, I wasn't involved with the primary development of that code, but I know that it was based on best practices and that they had researched where there was really good, effective code put in place in other communities for a mixed use. And they were looking for some flexibility at the Osprey Point District. I did help make some revisions to their proposal and then helped present in front of this body actually, and then I believe City Council as well, just to see that ordinance through, and it was adopted, as Jacob mentioned, a few years back. This time around, we approached the City and we said, look, we're looking to do some mixed use code development writing. We know that that's sort of a missing element in your code. What do you think, staff? Is that something you're already working on? We don't want to duplicate efforts and the response was that it's on our work schedule, we're going to be taking it on, but it's going to take some time. So, we said, okay, well, we'll take the lead on this. And so my client allowed me that opportunity to work with him. We sat down with an architect, so this has been well vetted is what I'm trying to point out. Not only did we base this code on existing code in the City of Pasco for the Waterfront Development District and made some amendments to it, but we really thought carefully about how it coordinates with other parts of Pasco's code. We looked very carefully to make sure that there wouldn't be inconsistencies or even conflicts with different parts of the code. So, we really worked this quite in a detailed fashion through and had a lot of meetings and discussions with Jacob along the way too. In fact, we were going to propose a standalone chapter to be added and he said, why don't you instead bring it alongside to this waterfront development district and we'll broaden it. So, we took that recommendation. So, in any event, we would ask that you would recommend approval tonight to your City Page 76 of 310 Council and thank you for all the processing that you've done to this date. Thank you to staff for all that they've done. I know this has gone through SEPA environmental review. This has gone now to a couple of different meetings before this board, and there's been opportunities for the public to weigh in on it. We just see it as a win-win, though, and something that's going to be really beneficial to the community. And I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have about it, thank you. Commissioner Cochran asked, are there examples of how this is implemented in practice? Ms. Stickney answered we actually had some slides when we introduced some of the concepts a while back with that waterfront development district when that first came about and I was working with the Port of Pasco. I’m trying to remember back to some of our examples. But we showed pictures of some development in Spokane that has been very well received, and I'm struggling to remember the name of it. Kendall Yards. Yes. So that's a classic example that a lot are familiar with. Certainly some of the other slides we showed were examples over in the Portland area. And that's in part because the person who kind of started this on behalf of the Port of Pasco, the planner that they originally had retained was from that area. And so there were some transit oriented development type examples that we had, things like that. So, they have the great light rail line down there, and there's a lot of mixed use buildings along some of those transportation corridors. So, there's really good examples out there. And I think the time has come to introduce some of this type of development to Pasco. I think as you read through the code, I'm hoping that you get the sense that what we're trying to do is just more, right. We're just trying to add an extra layer of engagement for community to live and shop or work in the same site and have some flexibility there instead of separating all of our land uses and forcing everybody to walk from here to there all the time. That's not to say that people are going to arrive different ways at the site, but at least there's that synergy that can be achieved. And I think once we have kind of that proof of concept running, then you'll see a lot more of that in the Tri Cities. I know that certainly you probably have realized that there are some new styles of development coming to town, and so we want to make sure that we can facilitate that and shepherd in the right types of that new development. Commissioner Crutchfield asked just exactly where is this located? Ms. Stickney answered this would be considered a floating zone. And that's a term when you create a new zoning district that you don't have any place where it's assigned on the ground yet. And that will hopefully change very soon. But for right now, you have a Waterfront Development District, you have that zoning assigned at Osprey Point, but you don't have a mixed use district zoning district assigned in the City. There are certain properties that will be eligible to be rezoned to that designation once an ordinance is passed and this floating zone comes into existence. The properties that would be eligible for where they could request for a rezone are those that are labeled as mixed residential and commercial land use. Page 77 of 310 So, there are certain areas, and I think it's like a magenta color or something like that in your Comprehensive Plan map. Those are the areas in town where it's not going to change anyone's zoning right away. Right. But if they want to, they can apply. Okay, I have commercial zoning now, I'd rather be in the mixed use or I have something else and I'd rather be in the mixed use, and I'm eligible if that's already shown on the Comprehensive Plan. So the Planning Commission, the City Council, we've already done the groundwork through the Comprehensive Plan update to identify those areas of town that would be suitable for mixed use development. But the missing piece is that you don't have it in your zoning code. So, this is just to remedy that and then we'll have the opportunity and time to come and say, okay, now we're ready. We want to rezone and be able to be entitled to that type of development for specific property. But anyone else who wants to do a mixed use development would need to do the rezone process. So, there's still steps involved. Commissioner Torres asked what gaps are you trying to fill regarding the original waterfront code? Ms. Stickney answered yeah, it's not really something that was so much missing with that. That was really written to be tailor made to specific location and for a specific purpose. But as I described, our method was to come up with a mixed use zoning district rather than have it be a standalone. Staff had said, let's work it out so that it can be the same chapter but apply to the different locations in town. So really, it's just broadening opportunity. That's how I would put it. I wouldn't say that we're trying to fill in anything, because I think that district, the Waterfront Development District, I don't know if staff come up with anything, but I imagine that they see that it works pretty well in terms of permitting and everything else. I can't speak for them, but it's good code. It was adopted. It's been on the books for a couple of years now. And so, it's a good idea to expand those opportunities in the City, and this will move the City one step closer in implementing your Comprehensive Plan under Growth Management Act. So, it's a step in the right direction, certainly.  Comments/Questions from Commissioners Commissioner Lehrman close the public hearing on the proposed code amendment for the Mixed Use Zoning District CA2022-003 and recommend that Pasco City Council adopt the proposed code amendment as contained in the January 19, 2023 staff report. Seconded by Commissioner Moffitt, motion passed unanimously.

This zone district is intended to provide a high level of diversity in housing types including townhouses and flats in mid-rise buildings ranging from two to six stories to move toward the city’s land use and housing goals and policies relating to density and a broad range of housing types, as required under the Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW. In addition, ground floor neighborhood-scale commercial and/or office uses are encouraged to create a cohesive bike-and pedestrian- oriented community. These uses are to be designed to complement and support the nearby retail, office, and residential uses and located in resulting in reduced vehicle trips and a more sustainable and convenient environment with potential access to transit.Page 82 of 310 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council April 18, 2023 TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular Meeting: 5/1/23 FROM: Steve Worley, Director Public Works SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4344, Adoption of the 2023 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan I. REFERENCE(S): Resolution Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4344, authorizing the City Manager to adopt the 2023 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. III. FISCAL IMPACT: No Impact. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Pasco is a Phase II Eastern Washington Municipal Stormwater Permittee with the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). Pasco’s current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit runs from August 1, 2019, through July 31, 2024. Per the requirements set forth in Section S5. Stormwater Management Program for Cities, Towns and Counties of the Permit, Pasco is required to develop and adopt both a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and a Stormwater Management Program Plan (P lan) that details all aspects of the City’s SWMP. The Plan was included in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvements Plan and funding for the Plan was included in the Capital Projects Budget for the year 2023. Following a consultant selection process, Council a warded the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Herrera Environmental Consultants Inc. on November 17, 2021. Herrera completed the Plan and staff has reviewed the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Page 83 of 310 The Plan was presented to Council during the workshop meeting of September 12, 2022. Comments made during the presentation have been addressed. V. DISCUSSION: Key components documented in the completed Plan include: Public Education and Outreach; Public Involvement and Participation; Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination; Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control; Post - Construction and Development New Stormwater Management for Redevelopment; and Municipal Operations and Maintenance. Additionally, the Plan evaluates the effect of the City’s current stormwater utility structure, and infrastructure existing policies, use regulations land and maintenance with regard to risk management, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance. The Plan sets near and long-term planning goals and prioritizes a list of needed capital improvement projects to correct existing deficiencies within the system and to construct future stormwater mitigation infrastructure. Finally, the Plan examines the City’s effort to retrofit existing stormwater infrastructure currently discharging directly to the Columbia River, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all surface water discharges. The following provides a summary of the changes made in each section of the Plan based on feedback from the City Council. Section 1 Introduction: • No substantive changes were made to this section. Section 2 Study Area Characteristics: • Many changes were made to this section. The area covered by the Plan was redefined to include all the Urban Growth Area (UGA) with the exception of the area within the Port of Pasco. This included, the newly annexed area, area within the UGA not yet annexed, and County inholdings within the UGA. This impacted most of the characterization data sizes, basin areas, critical on land statistics (e.g., and use, impervious area) provided in this section. Section 3 Stormwater Management Framework: • Moderate changes were made to this section. Information provided on the stormwater infrastructure (e.g., number of catch basins and length of piped conveyance) was updated to reflect the expansion of the area covered by the Plan. And the annexation summary was revised to reflect the newly annexed area. Section 4 Stormwater System Problems, Prioritization, Solutions, and Implementation: • No changes were made to this section. Page 84 of 310 Section 5 Stormwater Management Program Evaluation and Recommended Activities: • rewas section This entirely -evalu moderate in which ated resulted changes to the Plan. The primary purpose of this section is to define the resources needed to support the Plan. This entire section was closely reviewed to re-evaluate staffing and funding needs considering the expanded project area. The primary changes made were to recommend increased staffing to cover expected increased need for site plan review, increased need for inspection and maintenance type activities, and expansions of the area that needs to be included in the storm water system inventory. Section 6 Plan Implementation: • section. for timeline The this made were changes Small to implementation was revised to reflect the early 2023 plan release date and the summary of resource needs was revised to reflect the changes made to Section 5. Staff recommends Council adoption of the 2023 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan.

I NTRODUCTION Stormwater runoff can be a source of pollutants to surface water and groundwater, can cause erosion and flooding, and can result in damage to property. Therefore, managing stormwater is an important aspect of city government. While, historically, stormwater management was primarily relegated to management of underground pipes and conveyance networks to enhance draining and reduce flooding, it is now recognized that stormwater plays many roles. It is a source of pollutants, but it is also an important resource critical to maintaining streamflows and recharge of groundwater. As a consequence, stormwater management at a city level has become more complex and includes many components, such as maintaining the system of pipes, catch basins, and treatment devices; offering programs to educate residents and businesses about reducing pollutants; creating ways to remove pollutants; and conducting a broad range of maintenance activities. Stormwater is recognized as a critical source of pollutants by the federal government and is regulated by federal law through the Clean Water Act. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is the program that addresses water pollution via discharge of pollutants from sources such as stormwater. In Washington State, the NPDES program is administered by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) through authorization from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). The City of Pasco’s (City) stormwater program is regulated via Ecology’s Phase II Eastern Washington Municipal Stormwater Permit (NPDES permit). That NPDES permit includes extensive requirements related to stormwater program management, system design requirements, operations and maintenance (O&M), and more. Section 5 of this Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan details the specific requirements of the NPDES permit and their impact on development of this plan. One of the purposes of this plan is to lay out a program that meets the City’s needs, including those driven by the NPDES permit. Due to the city’s low annual rainfall, warm climate, flat topography, and fast-draining soils, most of the stormwater generated in the city infiltrates the ground either through natural processes or manmade structures, such as dry wells and infiltration trenches. The result is that flooding, erosion, and slope failures that are often associated with high volumes of stormwater runoff are not as critical in Pasco as they may be in other areas of Washington. However, stormwater quality remains an important issue because water quality concerns are driven by population and land use (e.g., commercial and industrial businesses). The City’s reliance on infiltration of stormwater means that underlying groundwater is more vulnerable to contamination, especially because of the area’s fast-draining soils. Since Pasco’s drinking water is supplied by groundwater, the City needs to protect groundwater quality while maintaining groundwater recharge processes. The semi-arid climate also means that stormwater should be viewed as an important resource to protect and conserve. This comprehensive plan for managing stormwater reflects the unique features of Pasco’s environment. The first comprehensive stormwater plan for the City of Pasco was developed in 2016; this document provides an update to that plan. Page 99 of 310 March 2023 2 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 1.1. P URPOSE OF THIS P LAN The purpose of this plan is to guide the City’s stormwater management program in a manner consistent with current regulatory requirements, while also identifying highest priority stormwater problems and solutions, and developing a timeline for implementation of both the regulatory requirements and the stormwater solutions. The plan also identifies the resources (financial, staffing, and equipment) needed for implementation that is consistent with the revenue generated by the City’s stormwater management utility. The following describes the content of each section of the plan with a summary of the extent of the updates made between the previous (2016) plan and this version: ● Section 1: Establishes the purpose of the plan and stormwater management goals for the City. There have been minor refinements of the goals as part of this update. ● Sections 2 and 3: Provide background information on the Pasco area, the existing stormwater system, and the existing stormwater management program. There have been updates to much of the tabular data and some of the figures to reflect changes in the area covered by this plan as well as other changes that have occurred since the 2016 plan. ● Section 4: Describes proposed solutions to high priority stormwater issues. This section has been entirely revised from the 2016 plan to reflect the newly identified stormwater problems and solutions. ● Section 5: Identifies minimum actions necessary to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements, especially the City’s NPDES permit. This section has been entirely revised from the 2016 plan to reflect the revisions to the NPDES permit that have occurred since 2016 as well as to reflect changes in staffing and operations at the City. ● Section 6: Provides a plan for implementation that identifies resource needs and focuses on efficient use of limited resources. This edition of the plan does not include an assessment of the current utility rate but reflects a balance of revenue and resource needs. Stormwater management involves maintaining and replacing stormwater infrastructure and building new stormwater facilities to meet development needs and to replace infrastructure that has come to the end of its service life. Stormwater management is a continually evolving field, driven by changes in state and federal stormwater regulations as well as by changes in science and technology. This means it can be technically and financially challenging to accommodate program needs while balancing utility ratepayer costs. This plan will need to be updated periodically to reflect the changing landscape of stormwater management and issues specific to the City of Pasco.

P ROGRAM GOALS AND P OLICIES Goals and policies were developed to guide the development of this plan that are consistent with the City’s goals. They support actions that will ensure stormwater is managed efficiently, protect the quality and quantity of water resources, and protect groundwater, which is the City’s drinking water source. The stormwater goals in this section were developed to clarify and document the City’s priorities related to stormwater management. 1.2.1. General Stormwater Management Program Goals G1. Meet the minimum regulatory requirements of the Eastern Washington Phase II NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit while protecting local natural resources. G2. Continue to support regional efforts to address stormwater management. G3. Continue to be cost effective. Meet at least the minimum requirements of the NPDES permit, meet the needs of the public, and be strategic about addressing long-term operational deficiencies. G4. Proactively maintain, repair, rehabilitate, and replace aging City stormwater facilities and minimize the need for costly and disruptive emergency repairs. Be strategic to the extent possible and plan repairs around other City projects (e.g., roadwork). G5. Continue to provide public education (including to outreach to businesses) on stormwater and water resource issues and support for the City’s stormwater management program. G6. Ensure that new development, redevelopment, and City projects are in conformance with the City’s adopted stormwater requirements and flow control goals. G7. Coordinate with other City departments throughout the stormwater plan review, permitting, and project approval process to ensure that the process results in a functional stormwater system. G8. Oversee construction and maintenance of privately owned stormwater facilities to ensure that they function as designed to protect private property, public property, and the environment. G9. Develop written protocols, where needed, to demonstrate compliance with NPDES permit requirements. G10. Revise this Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan every 6 years, or sooner if needed, to ensure that it provides for effective long-term stormwater project planning, system maintenance, response to mandates, and program funding. Page 101 of 310 March 2023 4 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 1.2.2. Flow Control Goals FC1. Develop new drainage projects to address flooding problems when such problems cannot be addressed through maintenance of the existing infrastructure. FC2. Continue to encourage and allow the use of infiltration facilities for flow control for new development and redevelopment in accordance with current regulations, and where feasible. 1.2.3. Water Quality Goals WQ1. When practicable, add or improve water quality treatment whenever constructing new stormwater facilities or conducting maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of aging City stormwater facilities. WQ2. Protect groundwater resources by regulating land use activities, such as requiring a higher level of stormwater treatment within wellhead protection areas, and encouraging practices that minimize impacts to groundwater.  Develop guidance and public outreach materials for use of chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers) near infiltration facilities. 1.2.4. Funding Goals F1. Implement a stormwater program that balances resource, staffing and project needs with the revenue generated by the utility and with the staffing resources available. F2. Control costs through proactively identifying stormwater problems to reduce the need for emergency response. F3. Maintain low stormwater utility rates while ensuring that the fees collected adequately cover the costs of implementing stormwater program needs. 1.3. S TORMWATER P LAN DEVELOPMENT Significant research was conducted to provide a foundation for development of this plan. The 2016 plan and capital improvement plan (CIP) list was reviewed to determine what has been completed. Geographic information system (GIS) data were acquired from city, county, state, and national datasets. This included information on the existing storm drainage system infrastructure, which was derived mostly from GIS data provided by the City. Questionnaires, multiple workshops with City staff, camera logs of pipelines, a web-based stormwater problems map, and field surveys were used to supplement this information. Page 102 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 5 The first workshop for development of this plan occurred on December 17, 2021. A questionnaire was distributed in advance of the first workshop to gather staff input and perspectives on a consistent set of questions. The completed questionnaires were used to facilitate the workshop discussion of NPDES permit requirements, staffing needs, funding needs, and other issues of concern to City staff. A comparison table of NPDES permit requirements and the City’s current program was developed and used with the completed questionnaires to develop Section 5 of this plan. Appendices A and B provide a complete list of permit requirements, current activities, and recommended activities, as well as a copy of the questionnaire. In preparation for the second workshop on January 19, 2022, a web-based stormwater problems map was re-created from the 2016 planning effort, and City staff and the consultant team began the process of populating the map with information on known problems and problem locations. During the second workshop, the team reviewed the stormwater problems map and discussed each project in further detail in preparation for project prioritization. Project prioritization criteria were developed and discussed alongside field visit logistics during the third workshop on February 14, 2022. Each project was ranked high, medium, or low based on a quantitative analysis. Project prioritization criteria included flooding frequency and severity, maintenance level of effort, pipe defects, and other factors. A field review of key problem areas was conducted with City staff on March 11, 2022. During this field assessment, detail was collected on specific sites. Photos and observations from the field review and assessment were used to finalize the project rankings. The highest ranked projects were developed to a concept-level design with associated planning-level cost estimates and the information was used to create project summary sheets, which are included as Appendix C. Simultaneous to the development of this plan, City staff identified one additional CIP project, the Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement project. This has been included as a high priority project to be completed within the next few years; however, there are currently no design details and therefore no project summary sheet for this project. A number of the projects identified address infiltration improvement needs and did not rank high as individual projects. However, an annual program to address infiltration improvements has been included for budget planning purposes, and many of these projects have been identified as priorities in that program. Similarly, there are numerous areas within the city where stormwater conveyance pipes need to be replaced or relined. A Stormwater Pipe Lining Project [Phases 1 and 2] has also been included in the CIP list and implementation schedule in this plan. This plan was first completed in 2022, but then modified to encompass a larger project area that includes the entire urban growth area (UGA), West Pasco, and small inholdings within the city limits that are currently within Franklin County’s jurisdiction; but it does not include the area that falls under the Port of Pasco’s NPDES permit. This change was made to better reflect the City’s responsibilities.

STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS Pasco is located in south-central Washington on the Columbia River, near the confluence of the Columbia and Snake Rivers. The area spanned by the city is approximately 37 square miles. Pasco’s population was over 78,000 as of 2021. It is the county seat for Franklin County. Together with the cities of Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland, Pasco forms the “Quad-Cities” area of Eastern Washington. The Quad-Cities are the fourth largest metro area in the state. It is an area that has been growing fast; for example, the population in Pasco is expected to increase to 121,828 by year 2038 (Pasco 2018). The Quad-Cities area lies within what is known as the Central Basin region of Washington State. This region is composed of the Columbia River Basin and adjacent low-elevation areas of central Washington. Because of its location, Pasco enjoys a mild climate, has a long growing season, and boasts 300 days of sunshine each year. Annual precipitation is very low; annual rainfall is estimated at 6.5 inches and snowfall at 2.75 inches. Pasco is at a low elevation, and there is little topographic variation. Because of the arid climate and relatively flat topography, other than the Columbia and Snake Rivers, there are no other natural surface waters within or near the city limits. The dry conditions, in combination with the wind, mean that windblown debris is a common problem that affects stormwater quality as well as facility maintenance needs. To support the City’s need to plan for future growth, the area covered by this plan (Figure 2-1) is larger than the area covered by the City’s NPDES permit. The plan area covers approximately 45 square miles and has the same boundaries as the UGA, except it does not include the Port of Pasco since that is covered by a separate NPDES permit. The Pasco city limits, UGA boundaries, City NPDES area, and Port of Pasco NPDES area are also shown in Figure 2-1. Since the 2016 plan, over 2,800 acres have been annexed by the City. A few areas of inholdings, primarily owned by Franklin County, still exist within the general city boundary but are part of the UGA and therefore included in the plan area. Together, these inholdings represent approximately 2 square miles. These inholdings, in combination with the Port of Pasco (approximately 5 square miles), represent the difference between the city limits (approximately 43 square miles) and the UGA (approximately 50 square miles). Both the city and UGA boundaries extend to the center of the Columbia River and, as a result, include several square miles of the river. For the purposes of this plan, only the land area is included in the data summaries because, from a stormwater management perspective, only the surfaces that generate runoff are relevant. For the purpose of stormwater planning, Pasco is divided into six basins. Basins 1 through 5 are delineated by hydrologic boundaries of the stormwater conveyance system and represent the older part of the city. Basin 6 represents all of the area outside of Basins 1 through 5. Basin 6 is the largest of the six basins, representing nearly 85 percent of the area within the city limits (Figure 2-2). The Port of Pasco’s industrial area is within the city limit, but is not included in basin boundaries or stormwater planning because the Port is responsible for its own stormwater management. Table 2-1 lists the areas and percent impervious of each of the six basins.

The following sections describe the environmental setting of the city, and the natural resources intended to be protected or improved by implementation of this plan. 2.1. E NVIRONMENTAL SETTING (TOPOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY, AND SOILS) Topography in Pasco is predominately flat. The eastern side of the city is almost entirely flat, with only very small, topographic variations. To the west of the airport is a small ridge, running north to south, that rises to a plateau situated about 100 feet in elevation above the city and slopes gently to the southeast. Most of the land area within the city drains toward the Columbia River, though a small portion of the eastern edge drains toward the Snake River. The ancient and recent geology of the region define both the topography and the soil drainage properties that affect stormwater planning. Pasco is located on what is referred to as the Columbia Plateau. The Columbia Plateau is composed of continental flood basalts that erupted between about 16.7 and 5.5 million years ago (USGS 2016). The basalt flows near Pasco are particularly thick and are estimated to have a depth of approximately 15,000 feet (Kahle et al. 2009). These basalt plains were further modified during the Pleistocene epoch by catastrophic outburst floods, such as the Missoula floods, which translocated huge quantities of glacial and fluvial sediments (Kahle et al. 2009). More recently, windblown inputs of sand and finer sediments blanketed the landscape and compose the parent material of most of the soils found throughout the city (NRCS 2016). Soil drainage properties are important for stormwater planning because, to a large extent, they determine whether rainwater will run off the land as overland flow or infiltrate down through the soil profile. Coarser (e.g., sandy textured soils) will allow water to infiltrate faster than finer textured soils (e.g., silty or clayey soils). Most of the soils within the city are sandy in texture (psamments, loamy sands, or sandy loam) and are described as being excessively drained (NRCS 2016). The entire city and UGA are listed as Hydrologic Soil Group A, which has high Page 108 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 11 drainage/infiltration capacity (NRCS 2016). However, there are isolated, small areas within Pasco where the soils do not infiltrate, even though they have the appearance of sand. For example, in one geotechnical investigation, several test pits were dug along the Oregon Avenue/395 corridor and the saturated hydraulic conductivity was tested. Despite soil textures that would hypothetically drain very rapidly, the measured saturated conductivity of the samples ranged from 0.003 inches/hour for silty sand and 24.36 inches/hour for poorly graded sand (CH2M Hill 2014). In another investigation, the infiltration rate was measured for three test borings approximately 8 feet below the ground surface. Infiltration rate was 12.5 and 20 inches/hour for two of the three borings, but the third had a rate of 0 inches/hour; even though it was described as a medium grain soil similar to the one with a 20 inch/hour rate (PBS 2014). These two studies indicate that there are areas where infiltration may be infeasible despite the appearance of the coarsely textured soils. The overall extent or location of these poor infiltration areas is unknown. The fact that these soils exist only in small pockets of the city can be somewhat problematic because area residents and the development community are accustomed to assuming that infiltration capacity will be high. 2.2. L AND U SE/LAND C OVER Land use is important for stormwater planning because it is linked with the percentage of impervious surface that, in combination with soil drainage properties, determines the amount of stormwater runoff generated by a parcel. Land use categories were mapped from City parcel data. The parcel data contained 16 land use categories. For the purposes of this planning effort, these categories were combined to create 4 general categories that include commercial/industrial, residential, mixed use, and other. Table 2-2 describes each of the 16 land use categories and the percentage of land area within the city attributed to each category. The table also provides a crosswalk to the general category that has each land use category has been assigned to. The results are displayed in Figure 2-3. Table 2-3 provides a summary of the current land use by each of the 4 general categories in the city by basin. The city is primarily composed of residential (46 percent) and commercial/industrial (39 percent) lands. The rest of the city is composed of other (13 percent) and mixed use (3 percent) land uses. Recognizing land use patterns at the city-scale is also important for identifying how land use has changed over time and will change in the future. For this purpose, the city can be described as two distinct areas. Basins 1 through 5, which comprise a small percentage of the total city area (approximately 15 percent) represent the older, more established areas of the city. Basin 6, which represents the vast majority of land area in the city (approximately 85 percent) is the area where most of the recent growth has occurred and is occurring.

Page 112 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 15 Land use in Basin 6 is predominately a mixture of residential and commercial/industrial. Residential development represents the largest land use (approximately 48 percent) and is concentrated on the western half of the basin (Figure 2-3). The commercial/industrial areas, which represent approximately 36 percent of the land area within Basin 6 are primarily located along the northeastern fringes of the city (Figure 2-3). Similar to Basin 6, Basins 1 through 5 are primarily composed of residential (between 33 and 56 percent) and commercial/industrial (between 24 and 55 percent) (Table 2-3). In general, commercial/industrial development occurs along the major transportation corridors in the older parts of the city. Based on current zoning regulations, it would be expected that development would consist of continued commercial/industrial development, predominately retail, along the I-182 corridor (Figure 2-4). While comparing the percentage of each land use type among the basins is useful for evaluating development patterns, the total area of each land use type is also important. For example, based solely on percentage comparisons, it would appear that managing runoff from commercial/industrial land uses, which have comparatively high pollutant generation rates, is less of an issue in Basin 6 (36 percent commercial/industrial) than in Basin 2 (55 percent commercial/industrial). However, because Basin 6 is much larger than Basin 2 it has more than 20 times the area of commercial/industrial land uses (Table 2-3), and there are much larger uninterrupted commercial/industrial areas in Basin 6 than in any of the other basins (Figure 2-3). Total impervious surface coverage is an important consideration for stormwater management and basin planning since it directly affects how much precipitation leaves the land and becomes stormwater runoff. Impervious surface coverage is mapped on Figure 2-5. Impervious surface area and percentage for each basin is listed in Table 2-1. Approximately 34 percent of the city is impervious surface as illustrated in Figure 2-5; however, this estimate is biased by the much larger area and less dense development in Basin 6. For the older parts of the city (Basins 1 through 5), the impervious surface coverage ranges from 45 to 55 percent. With continued urban and suburban expansion into Basin 6, the percentage of impervious surface coverage can be expected to increase.

WATER R ESOURCES Pasco is situated at the confluence of the Snake and Colombia Rivers. Both the Snake and Columbia Rivers are large river systems that drain tens of thousands of square miles. The Columbia is the sixth largest river system in the United States as measured by drainage area and has a drainage area of approximately 258,000 square miles. The Snake River is the tenth largest, with a drainage area of 108,000 square miles (Kammerer 1990). Neither the Columbia River nor the Snake River adjacent to Pasco are free-flowing. McNary Dam, about 34 miles downstream of Pasco, creates Lake Wallula, which extends 64 miles upstream on the Columbia River to Hanford, and up the Snake River to Ice Harbor Lock and Dam (USACE 2016). Since the city limits extend out into the rivers, both rivers are considered part of the city and addressed in the City’s Shoreline Management Plan (Anchor QEA 2014). There is also one stream shown on Figure 2-1 is associated with the Esquatzel Coulee. This stream was at one time included in the City’s shoreline jurisdiction but was removed since there are few or no water-related uses of the stream and because the data suggest little water exists in the stream (Anchor QEA 2014). This stream gradually ‘sinks into the ground’ and does not discharge to any downstream water bodies (Anchor QEA 2014). Figure 2-1 also shows a small stream in the southwest corner of the city, which is actually a ditch created by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The ditch occasionally collects stormwater but never discharges to the river (Dave McDonald, pers. comm. with T. Reed-Jennings). The most notable water feature within the interior of the city is the Franklin County Irrigation District Canal, which runs west to east through most of the city. The U.S. EPA, in coordination with Ecology, implements and oversees monitoring programs to ensure that waters meet state and federal water quality standards. The purpose of these standards is to comply with the Clean Water Act, ensuring that water is safe for human contact and healthy for fish and wildlife. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires that waters failing to meet these standards are placed on the list of “impaired” waters, often referred to as the “303(d) list.” As of the most recent proposed list (2018), there are a number of listings associated with the Columbia River near Pasco. That reach of the river has documented exceedances of temperature standards and is, therefore, listed as Category 5 for temperature. Category 5 means that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or other type of cleanup plan is required. The U.S. EPA is leading the effort to develop a temperature TMDL for that reach. The reach is also listed as Category 4a for total dissolved gas and dioxins, and Category 2 for pH. Category 4a means there is a documented problem, but a cleanup plan is already in place. Category 2 are for water bodies of concern. Water bodies in this category have a potential water quality problem, but there is not enough evidence to show consistent impairment and therefore, no cleanup plan is needed. Page 116 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 19 The Snake River near the Pasco area has these same water quality concerns and Category 4 and 5 listings. The Snake River reach was also recently included on the 303(d) list due to total dissolved gas and dioxin. Since there is now a cleanup plan in place to address these problems, the reach is now Category 4a for these constituents. The Snake River also has a Category 2 for dissolved oxygen. None of these listings are expected to be strongly related to stormwater, and neither the Columbia nor Snake River are included in Appendix 2 of the existing NPDES permit, which lists TMDLs covered by the permit and describes additional actions permittees must take to be in compliance with the permit. Major changes in the state water quality standards since the 2016 plan include new human health criteria for toxic substances adopted in 2016 and new water contact recreation bacteria criteria (E. coli for fresh water) adopted in 2019. Human health criteria now include assessment of tissue exposure concentrations (TECs) for fish and shellfish harvesting and drinking water exposure concentrations (DWECs) for drinking water. These changes to the state water quality standards are not expected to impact stormwater management planning in Pasco until or unless a local water body is included in the 303(d) list for TECs or DWECs or E. coli and a TMDL or cleanup plan is developed. Because the City relies heavily on underground injection controls (UICs) for stormwater treatment, and there are a number of wells throughout Pasco, groundwater is another important water resource. Groundwater resources are discussed further in the Critical Areas and Species section of this document. 2.4. CRITICAL A REAS AND S PECIES Critical areas are designated to protect natural resources and prevent harm to the community from natural hazards. Natural resources typically refer to streams, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, and critical aquifer recharge areas (CARAs) and wellhead protection areas (WHPAs). Generally, natural hazards refer to geologically hazardous areas (e.g., steep slopes) and areas at risk for flooding. Specific definitions of critical areas criteria are documented in Franklin County’s 2009 Critical Areas Ordinance (Franklin County Code of Ordinances Title 18, Chapter 3). The critical areas ordinance protects wide-ranging resources for a variety of purposes. The following sections describe the natural resources (groundwater, wetlands, and habitat) protected by the ordinance and the natural hazard areas that have been identified in the city of Pasco to protect the public from harm. Page 117 of 310 March 2023 20 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 2.4.1. Groundwater Resources Groundwater resources are an important consideration for stormwater planning efforts since many stormwater management strategies that rely upon infiltration or underground injection have the potential to influence groundwater quality. Although Pasco’s domestic drinking water is supplied by the Columbia River (Pasco 2014), there are 35 Group A or B wells, most of them located in Basin 1 (Figure 2-6). Group A wells are large systems that have at least 14 connections. Group B water systems are smaller and have between 1 and 14 connections. Both Group A and B systems are regulated by Washington State Department of Health and, as such, have designated wellhead protection areas (WHPAs), which are shown on Figure 2-6. WHPAs are designated based on the estimated time it would take a spilled contaminant to travel through the substrate and reach the drinking water source. The majority of the WHPAs within Pasco are designated as “assigned,” which means that there is insufficient hydrologic data to accurately delineate travel-time boundaries. There are two large WHPAs that contact the western and northern boundaries of Basin 1 that are delineated based on a travel time of 10 years. Overall, 32 percent of the city lies within some form of WHPA. The vast majority of the area within WHPAs lies within Basin 6, the newer, less developed part of the city (Figure 2-6). Similarly, a large portion of the city is designated as a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA). The City of Pasco critical areas ordinance defines CARAs as areas within 100 feet of irrigation district canals, or irrigated land that is designated as hydrologic soil group A. Because nearly all of the city is designated hydrologic soil group A, virtually any irrigated land is considered a CARA. CARAs are also mapped on Figure 2-6. (The wells, WHPA, and CARA data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is expected that no substantive changes have occurred since that time.)

Wetlands, Riparian Buffers, and Habitat In total, there are approximately 172 acres of wetlands within the city limits. With the exception of several small ponds scattered throughout the city, most of the wetland area is limited to the southeast corner of Basin 6, on the peninsula that separates the Snake and Columbia Rivers. In this area, there are approximately 80 acres of emergent wetland, and approximately 70 acres of forested shrub wetland. All wetlands including freshwater lakes and ponds are shown on Figure 2-6. (The wetland, lake, and pond data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is unlikely to change.) Pasco’s shoreline master program includes 14.4 miles of the Columbia River. The reach has been divided into 18 subreaches, each of which has its own environmental designation and respective development standards, including standards for riparian buffers. Most of the river has a required riparian buffer of 50 feet. Similarly, Pasco has 2.8 miles of frontage along the Snake River, which is divided into two subreaches; one is designated as urban conservancy and the other high-intensity industrial, with required riparian buffers of 75 and 50 feet, respectively. The Columbia and Snake Rivers provide migratory and rearing habitat for Chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon, bull and steelhead trout, Pacific and river lamprey, and white sturgeon. All of these are priority fish species, and a few are listed as candidate species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Both rivers also provide important waterfowl concentration areas and a known occurrence of American white pelican, an endangered species. Within the upland portion of Pasco are several mapped areas of burrowing owl occurrence, a candidate species for listing under the ESA. There is also mapped shrub-steppe area, which is a priority habitat for protection. 2.4.3. G eologic and Flood Hazard Areas Natural hazards are defined in the City’s critical areas ordinance. The most pertinent natural hazards affecting stormwater planning and development potential are landslide hazard and flooding. Landslide hazard areas are generally defined as areas with slopes greater than 15 percent. (A more complete definition of landslide hazard areas is described in the critical areas ordinance.) Hillslope was calculated and mapped for the city using 2005 LiDAR data with a pixel resolution of 6 feet (Figure 2-7). As shown in Figure 2-7, there are scattered, small areas in Pasco where there may be some hillslope hazard based on LiDAR interpretation. Less than 1 percent of the city is mapped as having slopes greater than 15 percent (Table 2-4). Therefore, hillslope hazard does not play a significant role in future development or stormwater planning. Page 120 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 23 Table 2-4. Critical and Hazardous Areas Within Pasco by Basin.a Basin Wetlands Wellhead Protection Areas Hillslope Hazard Area (>15 percent) FEMA Zone A/AE (100-year flood) FEMA Zone X500 (500-year flood) Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent 1 5.3 < 1 0 0 0.0 0 45.0 4 0.0 0.0 2 0.9 < 1 98 11 5.4 <1 91.3 11 0.0 0.0 3 0.0 0 46 25 0.0 0 16.0 9 0.0 0.0 4 10.0 1 19 2 6.3 <1 40.3 4 0.0 0.0 5 0.0 0 0 0 0.0 0 5.2 2 0.0 0.0 6 338 2 5,962 33 178 1 1,166 7 16 <1 Total 518 2 5,962 27 190 <1 1,408 6 16 <1 a Pasco basin boundaries include the urban growth area (UGA) boundary and unincorporated area within Franklin County. Flood hazard areas were delineated based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) 100-year flood maps (Figure 2-7). More than 94 percent of the land area of the city is area outside of the 500-year floodplain (Table 2-4). Virtually all of the remaining land area (6 percent) is mapped as being within the 100-year floodplain (flood zone A), meaning that in any given year this land has a 1 percent chance of flooding. Most of the area mapped area within zone A is located along the margins of the Columbia and Snake Rivers and adjacent wetlands. The FEMA maps also include part of the Esquatzel Coulee in the 100-year floodplain; reportedly there may have been flash floods in the coulee many years ago, before transition of this area to agricultural land. As described previously, the small amount of water that may collect in the coulee goes underground well north of the airport and therefore well outside the city limits. Only a very small portion of land (less than 1 percent) is listed as being in FEMA flood Zone X500, which corresponds to areas within the 500-year floodplain. Therefore, there is little concern for flooding in the city, this is especially true since both the Snake and Columbia Rivers are controlled by dams. (The geologic and flood hazard assessment data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is unlikely to change.) Page 121 of 310 Page 122 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 25 2.5. FUTURE C ONDITIONS 2.5.1. Population Growth Pasco’s population was 69,000 in 2015 and is now over 78,000 as of 2021; this represents a 13 percent increase in population over a 5-year period. Together with the cities of Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland, Pasco forms the “Quad-Cities” area of Eastern Washington. The Quad-Cities are the fourth largest metro area in the state. It is an area that has been growing fast; for example, the population in Pasco is expected to increase to 121,828 by year 2038 (Pasco 2018). State growth projections estimate that Franklin County is expected to grow by approximately 21 percent (24,778 people) between 2020 and 2025 and will continue to add approximately 25,000 to 30,000 people every 5 years through the projected timeline of 2040 (OFM 2017). Since Pasco is the only major city in Franklin County, it can be expected that the majority of the new population will settle in Pasco. 2.5.2. Climate Change The following information on climate change predictions was developed as part of the 2016 plan and was not updated as part of this effort since it is not expected to have changed substantively. Mountain snowpack is the most important influence on annual water supply for many watersheds in the Northwest. The Columbia River drains from mountainous snowmelt dominant watersheds and is characterized by a hydrograph where the peak runoff lags behind the peak period of precipitation. This lag is because much of the cool season precipitation occurs as snow and is stored until springtime temperatures rise above freezing, and there is significant snow melt throughout spring and early summer. Therefore, snowpack supplies warm season (April through September) streamflows that are important for migrating salmon and are heavily relied upon by irrigators, hydropower producers, municipalities, and other users (Dalton et al. 2013). Relatively recent climate change over the last century and anticipated future climate change related to altered atmospheric conditions and warming temperatures continues to affect the Northwest including the Columbia River and Columbia Plateau. For example, consistent with global trends, annual mean temperature in the Pacific Northwest increased by approximately 0.68 to 0.88 degrees Celsius (°C) from 1901 to 2012 (Abatzoglou et al. 2014). Warming temperatures have increased the freeze-free season or growing season by approximately 2 weeks over the last four decades (Abatzoglou et al. 2014). Indicators such as the length of the freeze-free season, annual temperature extremes, and potential evapotranspiration during the growing season are relevant linkages to climate impacts. Page 123 of 310 March 2023 26 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 Significant research on climate change predictions has been conducted by the Climate Impacts Group (CIG) at the University of Washington. The group’s research projects regional effects of global climate change using a series of global climate models and two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. Two reports synthesize the most recent modeling results and associated impacts for the Pacific Northwest including the Columbia Plateau region (Dalton et al. 2013; Snover et al. 2013). The research provides a basis for assessing impacts of climate change in the Columbia River Basin by supplementing data with regional climate models and studies. For example, in the Methow Valley, study results project July warming of 0.8°C (±1.9°C) to 2.8°C (±4.7°C) by 2080 (Caldwell et al. 2013). The warming rate for the Pacific Northwest over the next century is projected to be in the range of 0.1 to 0.6°C per decade (ISAB 2007). Significant consequences of a warming climate for snowmelt dominant watersheds, such as the Columbia River Basin, are a reduction in snowpack and a substantial shift in precipitation patterns, streamflow seasonality, and stream temperatures (Barnett et al. 2005; Dalton et al. 2013; Stewart et al. 2005; Elsner et al. 2010; Leppi et al. 2011; NMFS 2014). For example, hydrologic models project that by mid-century, the peak runoff from snowmelt will occur approximately 3 to 4 weeks earlier than the current average (Dalton et al. 2013). With an extended growing season, warmer and dryer summers, and pressure to address runoff earlier in the year, a number of hydrological and temperature related impacts can occur. Some general, stormwater related predictions for the Columbia River Basin for the next 50 to 80 years include the following (Dalton et al. 2013; Elsner et al. 2010; Hamlet et al. 2013): ● Changes in spring snowpack will result in a fundamental shift in the Columbia River Basin climate from being dominated by snowmelt to being dominated by a mix of rain and snow. ● Warmer temperatures leading to reduced snowpack will result in a transition from spring to winter runoff, increased winter flow, and reduced late summer flow. ● Future occurrences of heavy rainfall are projected to be more frequent and more intense and will exacerbate flooding in many areas, although this is most significant in basins currently characterized as mixed rain and snow with current mid-winter temperatures within a few degrees of freezing. ● There is a projected increase in water temperatures that could result in adverse impacts on salmon, water quality, and human use of water resources. ● There is a projected increase in channel migration, landslide risk, erosion, and sediment transport during wetter months, although these problems are not likely to be important in Pasco. ● Seasonal, year to year, and decade to decade variations will remain an important feature of local climates.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK This section provides background information on the management framework for stormwater, including a summary of the existing stormwater infrastructure and the key O&M activities associated with the system, as well as information on the regulations that govern stormwater management and a summary of related City municipal code and design standards. This section also includes information on the City’s stormwater utility and future conditions that may affect stormwater management needs. 3.1. S TORMWATER I NFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE The City’s stormwater infrastructure consists of a network of piped conveyances and infiltration pipe. It includes over 50 miles of stormwater conveyance and more than 40 miles of infiltration pipe, as well as other structures (e.g., catch basins, inlets, and manholes) (Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1). (Table 3-1, Figure 3-1, and the accompanying text are based on the City’s current infrastructure mapping system, which is in the process of being updated. However, it is expected that the data presented still provides an appropriate overview of the types and amount of stormwater infrastructure that the City manages.) Table 3-1.

USACE = United States Army Corps of Engineers UIC = Underground Injection Control Page 125 of 310 Page 126 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 29 As described previously, the stormwater system in the city is defined by six basins (Figure 3-1). Basins 1 through 5, which represent the older parts of the city, are serviced by a conventional conveyance network that carries stormwater to outfalls that discharge to surface water; two of these outfalls discharge directly to the Columbia River. Due to the flat topography, this system is often deeply buried; the conveyance system in much of the city is over 20 feet below ground surface. In Basin 6, which represents the majority of the city, stormwater is conveyed into the ground via dry wells and infiltration systems (UICs). In these areas, catch basins are connected directly to infiltration pipe. In a few areas, short ‘mains’ collect water from a small number of catch basins and transport it to an infiltration pipe. The key O&M activities associated with upkeep of the stormwater infrastructure and reducing pollutants generated by stormwater include inspections, street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, and vegetation management. All catch basins are inspected at least once every year and vactored when necessary. As described in the 2016 plan, street sweeping used to involve sweeping of arterials weekly and sweeping of residential streets every 1 to 2 months. Due to lack of staffing, street sweeping frequency has decreased to monthly sweeping of arterials and quarterly sweeping of residential streets. This staffing issue has also impacted the frequency that the City is able to dedicate to closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections. More information on how street sweeping is impacting existing infiltration facilities can be found in Section 4.2.1 and O&M staffing recommendations can be found in Sections 5.6 and 6.2. 3.2. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS While the NPDES permit, which is discussed at length in this plan, is the primary regulation that affects the City’s stormwater management program, a number of other local, state, and federal regulations must also be considered. Table 3-2 provides a brief summary of the most relevant regulations. Table 3-2. Summary of Applicable Regulations.

M UNICIPAL CODE AND D ESIGN S TANDARDS Typically, guidance for design of stormwater facilities is provided through a city’s municipal code, a stormwater design manual or design guidelines handbook, and a city-specific set of standard details or specifications. The City has adopted the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW), but it may also be necessary to revise the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) language to include additional thresholds related to sizing or locating stormwater Page 129 of 310 March 2023 32 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 facilities. Standards currently present in the PMC or in City standard details related to stormwater design include: ● PMC 13.80.100 Storm Water Construction Permit Required. “A storm water site plan is required for any project subject to Core Elements Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 per Chapter 2 of the SWMMEW. Upon approval of the storm water site plan, a storm water construction permit shall be issued upon payment of the storm water construction permit fee as provided in the City fee summary ordinance, Chapter 3.35 PMC.” ● PMC 16.10.050 Drainage requirements. “An impervious surface improvement shall be designed to drain, confine and/or impound storm water or site-generated water within the private property upon which the improvement is to be located. The Building Inspector shall determine the adequacy of all plans and methods for the drainage or proposed impervious surface improvements in conjunction with the most current adopted Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington.” ● PMC 25.175.060 Site Drainage. “All storm drainage shall be retained on site and controlled by way of drainage swales, dry-wells, French drains or other means as approved by the City Engineer.” ● PMC 21.35.040 Drainage Plans. “Drainage and site grading plans shall be prepared in conformance with the standard drawings and materials lists and shall be prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Washington.” ● Chapter 7 of the City’s Design and Construction Standards covers stormwater improvements, including the following: o Design criteria o Design storms o Hydrologic analysis o Treatment best management practice (BMP) sizing o Flow control Section 5 contains recommendations for the municipal code to address some of the deficiencies in the existing code and guidance. Page 130 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 33 3.4. S TORMWATER UTILITY F UND Creating a storm and surface water utility and imposing service charges is authorized by RCW Chapter 35.67. Pursuant to that statute, the City of Pasco enacted Chapter 3.07.190 of the PMC to implement a stormwater utility charge. This charge is necessary to fund SWMP activities and projects that are required to provide services to residents, support development, and meet regulatory requirements. The remainder of this section describes the history, purpose, and uses of the City’s stormwater utility fund. 3.4.1. History and Purpose The City of Pasco first created the Stormwater Utility Fund and set initial stormwater utility rates in May 2002 by the passage of Ordinance No. 3543. The rate structure has remained the same since establishment and includes two different classes of property: ● Single-family and multi-family residential parcels: o Flat rate (multi-family and apartments are charged a per unit rate) because these types of sites are similar in terms of lot size and impervious area coverage throughout the city. Thus, they generate a similar amount of runoff and pollution, which incurs a similar cost per parcel/unit for services provided. o Parcels with vacant buildings are charged the same rate as parcels with occupied buildings. o Undeveloped parcels are not charged a monthly rate. ● Commercial and industrial parcels: o Sliding rate that is based on the total number of parking spaces. o Additional rate based on acreage if the parcel discharges to the City’s stormwater system. o State highway right-of-way owned by the Washington Department of Transportation is charged a per-acre rate that is 25 percent of the per-acre rate for commercial parcels. In 2002, single-family residential homeowners paid a flat rate of $1.80 per month per parcel, while industrial and commercial businesses paid a rate based on the number of parking spaces ($1.80 to $9.00 per month) plus an additional charge of $30 per acre if their stormwater discharges to the City’s stormwater system. Table 3-3 summarizes the stormwater utility rates since 2002. Page 131 of 310 March 2023 34 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 Table 3-3.

State highway right-of-way (WSDOT) is charged a per acre rate that is 25 percent of the commercial/industrial rate ($0.30 per acre minimum in 2002, $0.84 per acre minimum in 2022). c Based on a rate study with the assistance of FCS Group in September 2017. SFR = single-family residential In January 2007 (effective February 2007), Ecology issued the NPDES permit to the City and 27 other jurisdictions (19 cities and 8 counties) in Eastern Washington. Ecology reissued the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Eastern Washington with updated permit requirements in August 2014 and August 2019. The NPDES permit outlines SWMP activities and implementation milestones that the City must follow in order to comply with federal law. All Phase II communities are expected to develop a SWMP that includes all the required activities, to implement those activities within the required time periods over the permit term, and to submit annual reports to Ecology to document progress toward complete permit compliance and program implementation. A detailed description of the major elements of NPDES permit compliance, most of which require funding from the stormwater utility, is described in Section 5. As is typical of most of the cities that are regulated by the NPDES permit, Pasco’s stormwater utility rates have been increasing as a response to the regulations and required expansion of the program. The rates were initially at $1.80 per single-family residence in 2002 and are now at $6.85 per parcel (Table 3-3). Similar increases have occurred for industrial and commercial businesses. Page 132 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 35 3.4.2. Past and Current Use of Funds Based on the revenue reported in 2011, it can be assumed that in the early years of NPDES permit implementation (2007 to 2011), the utility generated about $55,000 per year, yet expenses ranged from $105,000 to $330,000. Thus, the majority of the costs for running the program were covered by the City’s general fund. From 2012 to 2018, the utility has generated approximately $80,000 to $130,000 per year, but expenses have continued to be well above that, ranging from $100,000 to $400,000. While stormwater permit compliance has accounted for a healthy share of the fund as the City has developed its program, the majority of the stormwater budget was spent on O&M activities and stormwater system improvements. 3.4.3. Population Growth The city has experienced rapid growth over the past 15 years, more than doubling its population from 32,066 in 2000 to over 78,000 as of 2021. Population growth and expanded service areas equate to an expanded city road network, resulting in a greater demand for catch basin cleaning and street sweeping, which are key O&M activities supported by the stormwater utility. Although population growth will bring proportional increases in impervious surfaces and pollutants, all new development and redevelopment will need to meet City standards and, therefore, rely on infiltration for control of stormwater. Although impacts from development cannot be entirely eliminated, the new growth is not expected to substantively; exacerbate flooding or increase discharge of pollutants to nearby surface waters. In the sense that the large increase in infiltration facilities proportionately increases the risk of pollutants entering groundwater, groundwater resources could be at greater risk. Expanded programs for educating the public and businesses about source control and required or improved stormwater treatment in commercial and industrial areas would help to mitigate those risks. Since stormwater utility fees will be applied to new development, the additional program needs should be largely covered by the increased revenue generated. 3.4.4. Annexation Annexation of new area is another mechanism that increases the City’s stormwater management obligations, although it also comes with increased revenue from utility fees. The City has annexed more than 400 acres since the 2016 plan was prepared, and the City anticipates more of the UGA may be annexed in the future. 3.4.5. Climate Change As described in Section 2, there are some significant climate change predictions for the Pasco area. However, due to the dams on the Columbia River, changes in river flows and flooding will be controlled at a regional level; management of stormwater at the city level should not be Page 133 of 310 March 2023 36 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 impacted. However, predicted climate change impacts in the area may intensify the need for stormwater management practices that promote storage and preserve water quality. Water storage, infiltration of stormwater, groundwater recharge, and stormwater treatment will become increasingly important as population grows, and seasonal water supply is altered by climate change. A number of steps can be taken as part of stormwater management planning to mitigate for some of these impacts. They include: ● Continuing to promote onsite infiltration to control 100 percent of stormwater runoff on all sites where it is feasible. ● Promoting stormwater storage where feasible. ● Modifying conveyance and treatment sizing requirements for new and redevelopment to account for larger peak flow events. ● Considering retrofitting existing infiltration devices with improved water quality treatment, especially in commercial or industrial areas.

P ROBLEM I DENTIFICATION AND P RIORITIZATION Stormwater system problems were identified, evaluated in the field, and prioritized using a custom set of criteria. This section describes the process used to prioritize projects. Stormwater system problems are described, in general, in Section 4.2 and solutions are summarized in Section 4.3. Stormwater system problems and projects were identified from two sources: past projects from the 2016 CIP projects list, and all problems identified through a survey of City staff (“staff survey”) completed in January 2022. The staff survey collected information on known current stormwater problem locations. Together, the 2016 CIP project list and the staff survey problem location list resulted in a total of 44 potential problem or project sites. Of these 44 sites, 8 were removed because they were either complete or in progress (5 sites) or duplicates (3 sites). Table 4-1 lists and categorizes the 36 remaining sites. City staff selected 24 of these 36 problem sites to retain for capital project prioritization and solution development. These 24 sites were then evaluated in the field by two Herrera engineers, accompanied by City staff, on March 11, 2022. Table 4-1. Categorization of Site-Specific Problems.

A prioritization system (Figure 4-1) was developed to evaluate and rank the 24 problem sites for potential CIP projects. These were divided into two categories: flooding infrastructure and deteriorated infrastructure. All 24 problem sites were evaluated for risk, project efficiency, maintenance level of effort, and mobility benefit. The risk definitions and other criteria are described in subsections 4.1.1 through 4.1.3. Figure 4-1 (a) shows a diagram of the prioritization process and Figure 4-1 (b) defines the prioritization criteria by project category (i.e., illustrates criteria used for flooding infrastructure projects relative to those used for deteriorated infrastructure projects). Figure 4-1 (c) compares this prioritization process to the process used by the 2016 plan. Page 136 of 310 Figure 4-1 (a).

Sixteen sites were ranked as “medium” or “high,” and were presented to City staff for input. Of these 16 top-ranked sites, 8 were classified as Tier 1 sites and included in the current plan cycle. Project solutions were developed for each of these sites for the City to include in their current CIP list. Sites that were not selected for this current plan cycle are classified as Tier 2 if they ranked “medium” or “medium-high” in priority, or Tier 3 if they ranked “low” in priority. Table 4-1 includes Tier 1, 2, and 3 sites as well as the following problems: ● Problem sites designated for the City to maintain or construct, ● Problem sites designated as the responsibility of the developer, ● Problems found to be on private property, and ● Water quality projects from the 2016 plan. Projects from the 2016 plan that have been completed are not included in this plan. Projects that were carried over from the 2016 plan into the current plan are noted in the footnotes section of Table 4-1. 4.1.1. Risk Definition – Flooding Infrastructure Risk was defined for flooding infrastructure based on three criteria: frequency, severity, and traffic level. Frequency was defined as “high” if flooding occurred after every rain event, “medium” if flooding occurred several times per year, and “low” if flooding occurred one or fewer times per year. Severity was defined as “high” if flooding occurred in the travel lane, crosswalks or curb ramps, or privately owned structures such as garages, “medium” if flooding occurred only on private property but did not impact structures, and “low” if flooding only impacted the edge of the roadway. Traffic level was defined as “high” if the average daily traffic (ADT) count was greater than 5,000, “medium” if the ADT was between “no count data” and 5,000, and “low” if the ADT had no count data. The ADT was assessed using the Existing All Day Traffic Counts figure from the current Pasco Comprehensive Plan (Pasco 2020). Figure 4-1 (b) shows a tabulated version of these definitions. 4.1.2. Risk Definition – Deteriorating Infrastructure Risk was defined for deteriorating infrastructure based on three criteria: pipe size, pipe defects, and traffic level. Pipe size was defined as “high” if the diameter was greater than 12 inches, “medium” if the pipe diameter was between 8 and 12 inches, and “low” if the pipe diameter was less than 8 inches. Pipe defects were defined as “high” if there were pipe failure or major holes, “medium” if there were bellies, fractures, or offset joints, and “low” if there were only root intrusions and related holes. Traffic level was defined using the same methods developed in Section 4.1.1. Figure 4-1 (b) shows a tabulated version of these definitions. Page 140 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 43 4.1.3. Other Criteria Other criteria used to prioritize the problem sites include project efficiency, maintenance level of effort, and mobility benefit. Project efficiency reflects whether stormwater improvements at the problem site can occur with another project or not. Maintenance level of effort reflects problem sites that require more than typical effort to maintain: “high” is defined as projects requiring three Vactor truck loads per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance, “medium” is defined as projects requiring two Vactor truck loads per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance, and “typical” or “low” is defined as projects requiring one Vactor truck load per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance. Mobility benefit is defined as whether stormwater improvements can be made in conjunction with adding accessibility improvements (e.g., curb ramps) where they are missing. Figure 4-1 (b) shows a schematic version of these criteria. 4.2. P ROBLEMS The primary stormwater issues faced by the City include flooding, deteriorating conveyance infrastructure, and lack of water quality treatment prior to discharge to the Columbia River. 4.2.1. Flooding Problem flooding occurs due to: ● Undersized facilities (given their contributing drainage area), ● Clogged facilities (likely due to regular transport of sediments), ● Poorly located facilities (i.e., not in the area’s low spot), and ● Absent facilities. The following is a list of Tier 1 flooding projects that were identified during this planning process and are a result of undersized, poorly located, absent, and/or clogged facilities: ● South Oregon Avenue North of East Ainsworth Street: The existing stormwater facilities are not located in the road’s low spot. South Oregon Avenue is coincident with SR 397, and the roadway is subject to moderate traffic. The roadway may have settled since the installation of the stormwater system. The southbound travel lane floods during rain events, presenting a hazard to relatively high-speed traffic. ● 214/219 North Sycamore Avenue (this corresponds to North Sycamore Avenue Infiltration Improvements in the 2016 plan): The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. Portions of the roadway flood with over 1 foot of standing water (i.e., up to adjacent lawns) several times per year. Multiple Vactor truck loads are needed to mitigate flooding during most rain events. Page 141 of 310 March 2023 44 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 ● 127 South Hugo Street: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. A commercial driveway contributes to the drainage area. The roadway floods during rain events and water drains down adjacent driveways into private garages multiple times per year. ● 1801 North Commercial Avenue: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. The travel lanes flood during rain events, presenting a hazard to moderate traffic in this industrial area, which is frequented by heavy trucks. ● 6415 Burden Boulevard: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. The intersection with Robert Wayne Drive floods, impeding the travel lane, sidewalk, and a commercial driveway, and presenting a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles in this area with heavy traffic. ● 600 East A Street: This low spot in the road lacks stormwater infrastructure. Roadside parking and an intersection flood during rain events, impeding travel lanes, parking, and pedestrian routes, and presenting a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles in this moderate traffic area. ● 4416 Sedona Drive: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. Both travel lanes flood during large rain events, and water flows into an adjacent driveway and a private garage on this residential street. 4.2.2. Deteriorating Conveyance Infrastructure As described in Section 3, five of the six stormwater basins within Pasco are served by a traditional conveyance network of catch basins and buried pipes that collect stormwater and convey it to outfalls to the Columbia River or ditches owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. This infrastructure is on average approximately 65 years old, and therefore inspection, repair, and maintenance of the structures is an important long-term need. In 2014, the City undertook an effort to clean and inspect the storm system within Basin 2. Storm lines were jetted and inspected, using closed-circuit television (CCTV), to assess condition and identify illicit connections. Based on these inspections, it is a reasonable assumption that much of the existing stormwater system in the five basins served by a buried conveyance system need additional inspection and rehabilitation to extend the system’s useful life by addressing system damage such as holes, offset joints, fractures, bellies, root intrusion (and related holes), and erosion. In addition to physical pipe damage, accumulated debris and root penetrations were also encountered, even after the pipes were jet cleaned. In some cases, these maintenance issues resulted in major obstructions. Page 142 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 45 Multiple deteriorating pipe projects were identified during development of the 2016 plan, and an annual repair program for failing pipes was recommended. While individually these projects were classified as Tier 2 (Table 4-1), a pipe relining program has been included in the CIP budget: ● Stormwater Pipe Relining (Phases 1 and 2): See Table 4-4 in Section 4.3 for details. One Tier 1 deteriorating infrastructure CIP project was identified for rehabilitation during the development of this plan: ● West Sylvester Pipe Repair (this corresponds to the Sylvester South Pipe Repair project from the 2016 plan): Existing pipes contain holes, fractures, and heavy root and debris intrusions. This project will require replacement or repair three sections of aging and damaged pipes along and tributary to West Sylvester Street. A second Tier 1 deteriorating infrastructure CIP project was identified by the City as this plan was being finalized: ● Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement: Project details will be developed by the City at a later date. 4.2.3. Lack of Water Quality Treatment Although stormwater in the majority of the city (all of Basin 6) is infiltrated, Basins 1 through 5 are still served by piped conveyance systems to five outfalls that directly or indirectly discharge to the Columbia River without treatment. The NPDES permit requires the City to implement water quality treatment requirements for new and redevelopment projects consistent with Appendix 1 of the permit. Since the Columbia River is a flow-control-exempt surface water, these basins will not require flow control facilities unless flow control is required by City code. The 2016 plan proposed five water quality projects. They are described in Section 4.1.3 of the 2016 plan and listed in Table 4-1. These projects have yet to be implemented and therefore have been retained for inclusion in the long-term CIP list. No modifications have been made to the 2016 project solutions during this planning effort, and no new water quality focused projects have been identified during development of this plan. 4.2.3.1. Stormwater Code Violations According to the 2022 NPDES annual report, a total of 12 stormwater code violations, including illicit discharges, were identified in the 2021 reporting period (Table 4-2). All 12 of the code violations were eliminated (Pasco 2022). The City has no known chronic non-stormwater discharges or illicit connections to the MS4 (Pasco 2022).

S OLUTIONS Site-specific problems and proposed CIP solutions for all Tier 1 projects are identified in Table 4-3. Figure 4-2 provides a map of the problem and solution locations. Summary sheets and cost estimates developed for seven of the Tier 1 2022 CIP projects are provided in Appendix C. Most problems addressed by this plan are flooding issues caused by inadequately sized, poorly located, and/or clogged infiltration facilities, or failing and/or reduced performance of aging conveyance system components. Projects from the 2016 plan that reduce water quality impacts and risks are listed in Table 4-1, but none were identified as Tier 1 projects for implementation. As described in Section 4.2, independent of this plan development effort, the City identified one additional project, Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement, for inclusion as a Tier 1 project.

Page 145 of 310 March 2023 48 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 The following sections describe the types of solutions that have been developed. The solutions fall into four categories: infiltration facility improvements, conveyance infrastructure rehabilitation, water quality protection (developed in the 2016 plan), and stormwater code violations (which are being resolved as needed by the City). In conjunction with the CIP solutions in this section, the City should establish more protective design standards as discussed in Section 5. 4.3.1. Infiltration Improvements In areas that lack infiltration infrastructure, or suffer from poorly located, undersized or clogged infrastructure, it is recommended that the stormwater system be expanded or replaced to include appropriately sized infiltration facilities. As described in Section 3, updates to the City’s stormwater standards can help mitigate issues with the undersizing of future stormwater facilities. In addition, improvements to the infiltration facility design standards would mitigate future reductions in system performance from clogging. There are different approaches the City can take to addressing the issue of clogged infiltration systems. First, the City can increase the frequency of street sweeping throughout Basin 6 and areas of Basins 1 through 5 that include infiltration facilities, especially before anticipated rain events. Section 5.6 includes recommendations for programmatic changes in street sweeping and maintenance frequency. Second, the design standard for infiltration trenches can be changed. For example, installing upstream vaults or catch basins with baffles, removing the geotextile fabric from the bottom of the trench, and/or installing a presettling vault (“fat pipe”) between the catch basin and the infiltration gallery could all increase the effective longevity of infiltration systems and increase the efficacy of maintenance efforts. Finally, exploring surface infiltration options, such as the non-vegetated bioswale currently being studied by the City (as discussed in Section 5.8), may provide an easier-to-maintain infiltration option, depending on its demonstrated effectiveness. Several of the projects that include proposed infiltration trenches appear to have space in the right-of-way for a surface infiltration approach. For the majority of Tier 1 projects that were identified during this planning effort, infiltration improvements were the identified solution. In total, seven Tier 1 projects were identified that required infiltration improvements; five of these projects have been bundled together and included as part of the City’s infiltration improvement program in Section 6.4. Design concepts for these five projects are contained in the project summary sheets provided in Appendix C. One of the infiltration improvement projects is associated with a larger stormwater pond retrofit and is listed separately in Section 6.4; this project, too, has a corresponding project summary sheet in Appendix C. Finally, one of the infiltration improvement projects (i.e., S Oregon Avenue) will be designed by the City at a future date, and therefore no project summary sheet has been provided. Page 146 of 310 Page 147 of 310 March 2023 50 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 4.3.2. Conveyance Infrastructure Rehabilitation As the City’s buried stormwater conveyance system continues to age and deteriorate, it is increasingly important that the City adopt a routine program for assessing and rehabilitating damaged sections of pipe. This will include jet-cleaning and evaluating the condition of each stormwater pipe with CCTV. Stormwater pipes in Basin 2 were jet cleaned and evaluated for their condition and the information was used to inform development of CIP projects for the 2016 plan. The results of those evaluations are reflected in the West Sylvester Pipe Repair CIP project, which aims to replace, or repair, identified damaged pipes. This project and its solution are presented in Table 4-3. A stormwater pipe relining program to address annual repair of failing pipes in the City’s MS4 has been identified as a Tier 1 project and organized into two phases, as shown in Table 4-4. Table 4-4.

LF = linear feet 4.3.3. Water Quality Protection As part of the 2016 plan, two approaches to water quality protection were considered for those basins that outfall directly to the Columbia River. The first was to eliminate the outfalls by implementing basin-wide infiltration retrofits, and the second was to provide treatment at regional facilities located at the downstream end of the basins. Both approaches are described in Section 4.2.2 of the 2016 plan. These projects have not been implemented and are retained as potential long-term CIP projects. No other projects that would protect water quality have been identified as part as the current plan, and no modifications have been made to the water quality projects from the 2016 plan. As water quality permitting requirements continue to become more stringent, these water quality protections may become increasingly relevant to City planning in future CIPs. 4.3.3.1. Stormwater Code Compliance As described in Section 4.2.4, the City has addressed all recent stormwater code violations. The City should continue these practices of addressing emergent stormwater code violations as they arise.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES The current NPDES permit was effective as of August 2019. It reflected an expansion of activities and requirements from the previous NPDES permit. The City of Pasco has been adapting its program to meet the 2019–2024 NPDES permit requirements and faces staffing issues, similar to other Eastern Washington permittees. This section provides a summary of the City’s current stormwater management program and an assessment of its compliance with the NPDES permit. Generally, the City is on track for meeting the NPDES permit requirements as summarized below. The following section is organized to reflect the organization of the NPDES permit. For each topic heading (or permit section) a general summary of permit requirements is provided, along with a summary of the additional resources, such as staffing or funding, that are needed to implement the recommended activities. Where applicable, a table listing identified recommended activities for program improvement is provided. These recommended activities were developed based on responses to a questionnaire that was filled out by various City staff and a follow up workshop that focused on the City’s current activities to meet the NPDES permit requirements. The current activities and questionnaire are summarized in Appendices A and B, respectively. Each recommended activities table provided in this section indicates whether the recommended activity is required to meet permit requirements; provides a high, medium, and low ranking of the recommended activity; and summarizes expected staff or funding support required for implementation. Funding support is typically recommended for discrete or one- time tasks that can be supported by consultants or contractors allowing City staff to focus on ongoing NPDES permit requirements. Staffing support is typically recommended for ongoing NPDES permit requirements. In addition to the staffing support included in this section for recommended activities, it is also noted that the City currently has open staff positions that are funded, but is having difficulty filling these positions given the staffing shortage experienced across the region, and even across the country. Only recommended activities that reflect a NPDES permit requirement are ranked as a high priority. Although not required to meet the 2019–2024 NPDES permit requirements, it is recommended that the City staff and decision makers consider the positive impacts of the medium and low priority recommended activities on meeting the City’s long-term goals as these activities will result in greater benefits for both the community and the environment.

P UBLIC E DUCATION AND O UTREACH The Public Education and Outreach section of the NPDES permit requires education and outreach to school-age children, adults, and overburdened communities as well as specific audiences (e.g., engineers, contractors, and developers). The City meets these requirements by contracting with the Franklin Conservation District (FCD) and coordinating with the other Quad-Cities (i.e., Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland). Activities include supporting curriculum at schools (e.g., participating in the Drain Rangers program and Wheat Week), the Regional Home and Garden Show, and the Benton-Franklin Fair and Rodeo. The City’s stormwater web page also provides easy access to stormwater information and resources. Table 5-1 includes a list of recommended activities for improving the public education and outreach component of the stormwater management program. The City currently has 0.05 full-time equivalent (FTE) allocated to support stormwater public education and outreach. The additional recommended activities identified can be met through expansion of existing activities or through funding for outside resources to develop curriculum or materials. An additional $12,000 of one-time funding and 0.09 FTE of ongoing staffing is estimated to be needed to support all of the activities summarized in Table 5-1. Table 5-1.

P UBLIC I NVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION The Public Involvement and Participation section of the NPDES permit is about ensuring the public has opportunities to provide input into the decision-making process related to stormwater management. Currently, the City meets this permit requirement by discussing stormwater-related problems or providing information at City Council sessions and inviting public comment, as well as through development and posting of annual stormwater reports and by accepting comments and addressing questions through the stormwater hotline and the front desk. Only one recommended activity was identified related to this permit section (Table 5-2). No additional staff or funding has been identified to support this permit section. Table 5-2. Recommended Activities for Public Involvement and Participation.

ILLICIT D ISCHARGE D ETECTION AND ELIMINATION The Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) section of the NPDES permit has an extensive list of specific and general requirements including mapping, implementation of ordinances or other regulatory actions, enforcement, field screening, identification of priority areas, development of field assessment procedures, training, education, and other activities. Table 5-3 provides a summary of recommended activities for improving the IDDE component of the stormwater management program. The majority of the recommended activities are one-time tasks related to revising the PMC, developing written methodologies, and improving documentation and, therefore, do not require extensive additional work or resources. The City currently has 0.03 FTE allocated to support IDDE. No additional ongoing activities were identified that would require permanent staff support, so no additional staff were recommended to meet IDDE program needs. One-time funding needs are estimated to be $21,000 for a spill response flow chart and geographic information system (GIS) updates. Ongoing (annual) funding needs for replacement and/or restocking of equipment are discussed in Section 6.3. Table 5-3. Recommended Activities for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination.

CONSTRUCTION SITE S TORMWATE R RUNOFF CONTROL The Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control section of the NPDES permit includes requirements related to ordinance development, inspection and enforcement, site plan review, training (including site plan, inspection/enforcement, and erosion control), and recordkeeping. The City’s program currently meets many of these requirements. Table 5-4 lists recommended activities for improving the construction site stormwater runoff control component of the stormwater management program. Most of the recommended activities are required to be in compliance with the NPDES permit, but are one-time tasks related to revising the PMC, developing written methodologies, and improving documentation; therefore, they do not require extensive additional work or resources. The stormwater utility does not currently fund any staff to support construction site stormwater runoff control because related activities are completed through existing City programs. No additional staffing and funding needs were identified. Table 5-4. Recommended Activities for Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control. Recommended Activities Permit Requirement (yes/no) Priority (high/ medium/ low) Additional Support Needed (staff/funding) Support Assumptions Update PMC to shift “active construction sites” from 13.80.120 to 13.80.090 or 13.80.100.

P OST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER M ANAGEMENT The Post Construction Stormwater Management section of the NPDES permit includes similar requirements to the Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control section, including ordinance development, inspection and enforcement, site plan review, training (including site plan and design), inspection/enforcement and erosion control), and pertinent documentation. The City currently meets most of the NPDES permit requirements. Table 5-5 lists recommended activities for improving the post construction stormwater management component of the stormwater management program. The stormwater utility does not currently fund any staff to support existing activities for this NPDES permit section. It is expected that an additional 0.125 FTE for a site plan reviewer will be needed to address development for annexed areas. One-time funding needs include $4,500 for code updates and LID training materials. Table 5-5. Recommended Activities for Post-Construction Stormwater Management.

M UNICIPAL O PERATIONS AND M AINTENANCE The municipal and operations and maintenance (O&M) section of the NPDES permit includes requirements for scheduling and carrying out O&M activities at City owned facilities, inspection of those facilities, and related recordkeeping and training. It also requires development and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for certain City facilities. Table 5-6 includes a list of recommended activities for improving the municipal O&M component of the stormwater management program. The City currently has approximately 2.0 FTE allocated to support municipal O&M. Additional staff will be needed to support the recommended activities listed in Table 5-6. Ongoing (annual) staffing needs are 5.25 FTE to support operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities. These staff will serve a dual role for conducting private stormwater facility inspections identified in the previous section. One-time staffing needs of 160 hours have also been identified. Table 5-6. Recommended Activities for Municipal Operations and Maintenance.

TOTAL M AXIMUM DAILY LOAD REQUIREMENTS The City has no specific TMDL requirements, and no program gaps or recommended activities related to the TMDL section of the NPDES permit. No additional staff or resources have been identified. 5.8. M ONITORING AND A SSESSMENT The Monitoring and Assessment section of the NPDES permit requires that the City report on any monitoring or stormwater related studies in its annual report and that the City collaborate with other Eastern Washington jurisdictions to develop stormwater effectiveness studies. The City recently participated in and reviewed Yakima County’s BMP Inspection and Maintenance Responsibilities effectiveness study. Currently, the City is working on two Quad-Cities effectiveness studies on non-vegetated biofiltration swales and paired basins street sweeping. The City has supported these effectiveness studies by assisting with a detailed study design proposal, and plans to support the completion of an Ecology-approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), which is due July 31, 2023, and completing the study on or before December 1, 2023. It is expected that this work will be addressed as part of current staff responsibilities. City staff are also virtually participating in the Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group to incorporate comments into the next round of revisions to the NPDES permit. Therefore, the City meets all of the current requirements of this section; no program gaps or additional staff needs have been identified. 5.9. R EPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING The Reporting and Recordkeeping section of the NPDES permit requires that the City submit an annual report of activities, and that it maintains records for 5 years and make records available to the public. It also requires that the City tracks the estimated cost of development and implementation of each component of their Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The City submits an annual report of activities, maintains records for 5 years, and make records available to the public. The City is also required to track the estimated cost for implementing the SWMP, but no additional staff or resources are needed to support this task. Page 164 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 67 5.10. U PDATE TO C ITY CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS As listed above in Sections 5.3 through 5.5, updates to the PMC are needed to remain in compliance with the NPDES permit requirements, but it may also be necessary to develop an addendum/supplement to the SWMMEW to include additional design standards for elements not addressed in the SWMMEW. This includes detailed design guidance for: ● Low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs), such as bioretention and permeable pavement. Guidance for Eastern Washington is covered in the SWMMEW, but City-specific design requirements may need to be established. ● Updates to infiltration trench design standard, to reduce the potential for clogging. Section 4.3.1 contains potential strategies for addressing chronic clogging issues through design changes. The design standards, including sizing and layout, for these elements should be explicitly covered in the PMC and/or a City amendment/supplement to the SWMMEW. The City’s review of drainage plans would also benefit from more specific design standards, particularly for sizing. Multiple projects that were identified for rehabilitation during this planning process are a result of undersized and poorly designed facilities, which could have been prevented during the site plan review stage. Specific guidance should also be developed for construction and inspections of temporary erosion and sediment control measures and proper installation of stormwater facilities. In addition, stormwater requirements are addressed in multiple chapters of the PMC, making it difficult for developers, designers, and reviewers to track specific requirements. The City should consider reorganizing its code to include all general stormwater requirements in one section of the code. The City may want to consider developing its own stormwater design manual, or a detailed amendment to the SWMMEW, and modifying the PMC to remove specific design information and to reference the design guidance instead. This would prevent inconsistencies between the PMC and the stormwater design manual and would also make it easier to revise design standards without going through a formal code adoption process.

S TAFFING N EEDS Table 6-2 provides a summary of current and additional staffing and consultant needs (as identified in Section 5) for implementing the City’s stormwater management program. The City currently has approximately 2.51 full-time-equivalent (FTE) that support stormwater program activities (0.37 FTE) and/or stormwater maintenance (2.14 FTE) funded through the stormwater utility. An additional approximately 1.41 FTE are funded through the City’s general fund. These staff provide stormwater engineering support through the City’s Community and Economic Development department for activities such as plan review and site inspections. In total, there are approximately 3.92 FTE supporting the stormwater management program. It is assumed these FTE will continue to be funded through the same funding sources. The additional staff support needs identified in Table 6-2 are those associated with carrying out the high priority activities identified in Section 5 of this plan.

See Table 5-3 for more information about the recommended activity and funding assumptions. e Staffing needed for stormwater maintenance staff. See Table 5-6 for more information about the recommended activity and staffing assumptions. f Funding needed for code/ordinance updates. See Table 5-5 for more information about the recommended activity and funding assumptions. Before the 2016 plan, the City purchased a van equipped with closed circuit television (CCTV), but it currently does not have staff available to operate the van and conduct routine video inspections of the stormwater pipe network to identify deficiencies. Two additional FTE stormwater maintenance staff are needed to carry out that activity; these additional staff could also support the private stormwater facility inspection program identified in Table 5-5. A small increase in staffing was also identified to support public education and outreach for the stormwater management program (included in Table 5-1). The total additional staffing need for low, medium, and high priority activities is estimated at 5.09 FTE. For simplicity, only the high priority activities were included in Table 6-2. The additional staffing need for the high priority activities is estimated at 3.00 FTE. These 3.00 FTE would implement the following activities: ● Inspecting, cleaning, and maintaining catch basins, inlets, and infiltration facilities ● Repairing damaged stormwater treatment and flow control facilities after spot checks Page 168 of 310 March 2023 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 71 6.3. E QUIPMENT N EEDS The major City equipment currently used for stormwater management includes two Vactor trucks (although the City has only one Vactor crew), four street sweepers, and a CCTV-equipped van. The City also purchased an unlimited Cartegraph license (a software program used for tracking asset, work, space, and operations management) through a grant from Ecology.

Table 6-4 presents an implementation schedule that balances project priority and available funding. The project implementation schedule was developed by City staff and was based on their priorities and expectations at the time this plan was developed. South Oregon Avenue North of East Ainsworth Street was scheduled first because the City plans on developing the design in-house. North Sycamore Avenue Infiltration Improvements was scheduled second because of the severity and frequency of flooding and the high cost for maintenance at this site. In addition to implementation of the projects and funding described in other sections of this plan, the City should take the following steps related to CIP planning: 1. The Stormwater Program staff should meet at least annually with all Public Works Operations staff to: a. Identify any new problems that should be added based on field observations or system inspection data. b. Revisit project priorities by reconsidering the risk posed by known problems. c. Adjust the CIP list, web map, and priorities, including updating the 6-year implementation schedule, based on the output of Steps a and b above. 2. Review the CIP section when this plan is updated. Use the CIP prioritization framework to justify adding, removing, or modifying projects. Page 171 of 310 March 2023 74 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 Table 6-4.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COLLABORATION Implementation of a stormwater management program requires collaboration from multiple City departments. The City is committed to both meeting compliance requirements and deadlines of the NPDES permit and providing its citizens with adequate stormwater management services. The stormwater management program is led by the City’s Environmental Compliance Coordinator in the Public Works Department. The Environmental Compliance Coordinator works closely with other City departments and divisions, including the Public Works Operations Division, Parks and Recreation, and Community and Economic Development, to implement activities in the program areas of flood protection and water quality. Table 6-5 summarizes the roles and responsibilities of the various City departments and divisions. Table 6-5. Interdepartmental Responsibilities. Department Responsibilities Public Works – CIP Engineering Division ● Overall stormwater management planning and NPDES permit compliance responsibilities ● Public education and outreach related to stormwater issues ● Public involvement and participation ● IDDE program management ● Review of plans for development, redevelopment, and construction sites ● Compliance with TMDLs established for water bodies in the City ● Annual reporting requirements associated with the NPDES permit ● Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan development and implementation ● CIP project planning, design, and construction. ● Implement Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) at multiple facilities ● Update and implement stormwater regulations and design criteria ● Technical consultation for development projects Public Works – Operations Division ● Public education and outreach for homeowners and businesses ● Illicit discharge reporting and response ● Inspection of public and privately owned flow control and water quality BMPs ● O&M of City-owned stormwater infrastructure ● Pollution prevention in municipal operations ● Implement Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) at multiple facilities Parks and Recreation ● Stocking pet waste bag dispensers in City parks ● Implement Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) at multiple facilities Community and Economic Development ● Review of plans for development, redevelopment, and construction sites ● Wetland and other critical areas issues ● Administers SEPA review of City CIP projects ● Floodplain management issues It is recommended that the City departments and divisions meet on an annual basis to discuss the interdepartmental roles and responsibilities and ensure the success of the City’s stormwater management program. Page 173 of 310 March 2023 76 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2023 6.6. INTERAGENCY C OLLABORATION Collaboration with other permittees in Eastern Washington has been very beneficial to the City. The Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group has been instrumental in guiding development of the NPDES permit, directing stormwater related guidance manuals, and sharing other valuable information. The group is currently involved in implementing stormwater effectiveness studies and guiding the update of the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington. Staff time spent on Interagency Collaboration is covered through existing FTEs. The City of Pasco will continue to be an active member of the Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group.

Permit Section Summary of Permit Requirements Current Activities Recommendations Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) S5.B.3.a.i – S5.B.3.a.iii Ongoing Mapping Requirements • Conduct field surveys to verify outfall locations and previously unknown outfalls on priority water bodies as part of ongoing mapping efforts of the City’s MS4. • Beginning August 1, 2021, the required, format for mapping is an electronic format (e.g., GIS, CAD, or other software that can map and store points, lines, polygons, and associated attributes) with fully described mapping standards Update and maintain a map of the MS4 by August 1, 2023, to include the following information: • Outfall pipe information • Areas served by the MS4 that discharge to ground • Permanent stormwater facilities owned or operated by the City • All public and private connections to the MS4 • Field surveys have been completed and outfalls are mapped. • Required documentation is complete and includes: o Current City Maps:  2020 Critical Areas Ordinance Map  Columbia Irrigation District Map  Pasco Zoning Map o Stormwater-related GIS layers:  Storm water pipe  Storm water outlet  Storm drywell  Storm water basin  Storm water manhole  Storm water inlet  Parcels  Pasco city limits  Wellhead protection areas  Water quality 303d listings Work with a consultant to update the City’s MS4 map. This would include obtaining outfall size and material, creating a discharge points layer, defining areas that don’t discharge to surface receiving waters, and ensuring all connection points with dates after August 1, 2019 are accounted for. Although not required at this time, the City may want to consider developing additional datasets that would assist with the City’s understanding of the stormwater system to support field screening and source tracing of future illicit discharges. The City could develop GIS layers for ditches, irrigation channels, City-owned streets, and streets with curbs and gutters, including areas located within Franklin County that are part of the UGA. The City should also consider adding attributes to describe different pipe materials and uses in their “storm water pipe” layer, developing a stormwater facilities layer, and gathering information about Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) pipes within City limits.

S5.B.6.a.i.h Permittees shall implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to protect water quality at City-operated material storage areas, heavy equipment storage areas, and maintenance areas. At a minimum, the SWPPP should include: • A site map showing the facility’s stormwater drainage, discharge points, and areas of potential pollutant exposure. • An inventory of the materials and equipment stored on-site, and the activities conducted at the facility which may be exposed to precipitation or runoff and could result in stormwater pollution. • A plan for preventing and responding to spills at the facility which could result in an illicit discharge. • A detailed description of the operational and structural BMPs in use at the facility and a schedule for implementation of additional BMPs. o BMPs selected shall be consistent with the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington, or other Ecology- approved technical manual. o The SWPPP shall be updated as needed to maintain relevancy with the facility. • Annual inspections of the facility, including visual observations of discharges, to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs, identify maintenance needs, and determine if additional or different BMPs are needed. The results of these inspections shall be documented in an inspection report or check list. • The City’s SWPPP was developed in 2012 and covers the following City facilities: City Shop facility, Road 108 facility, Wastewater Treatment Plant, Parks and Recreation Shop facility. • The City’s SWPPP references source control BMPs in the SWMMEW. • Update the City’s SWPPP. Engage staff involved with implementing the SWPPP in the update process to make the SWPPP more practical and effective in daily operations. • Ensure that the SWPPP is implemented at City facilities and its use is documented. An annual SWPPP training (or refresher training) may be helpful to implement.

The City intends to secure the professional services of an engineering consultant to provide holistic design, permitting, and bidding support services for the proposed improvements to ensure the land treatment system operates in a manner consistent with the “Process Water Reuse Facility Engineering Report” approved by the State of Washington Department of Ecology on April 12, 20 23. The City published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) related to its general need for professional engineering services for the PWRF Irrigation System Farm Upgrades Project on September 9, 2022 and again on September 16, 2022. The RFQ was also posted on the City’s website. V. DISCUSSION: In response to the RFQ, one (1) firm submitted a digital Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) by the due date on October 11, 2022. Although there was only one submittal, City of Pasco staff panel followed standard procedures to review and score the SOQ. The submitting consultant, RH2 Engineering, Inc.

Page 255 of 310 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council April 12, 2023 TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular Meeting: 5/1/23 FROM: Steve Worley, Director Public Works SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4346, Interlocal Cooperative Agreement – Cities of Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, West Richland, and Benton Franklin Health District for Funding of Regional Algal Bloom Laboratory Screening Service I. REFERENCE(S): Resolution Interlocal Agreement (ILA) II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4346, authorizing the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the Cities of Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, West Richland, and the Benton Franklin Health District for the funding of a Regional Algal bloom screening laboratory and services. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Pasco’s share of the estimated cost is approximately $250 per biweekly sampling event. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland were granted Washington State Surface Water Right Permit S4-30976 on September 15, 2003 (hereinafter “Permit” or “Quad-City Water Right”). The Cities use the Permit and other water rights to access the Columbia River for potable water supply. Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco withdraw, treat, and deliver Columbia River water to their residents. West Richland purchases treated water provided by Richland for a substantial portion of its potable water supply. In 2021, harmful algal blooms were detected and monitored in the Columbia River. Harmful algal blooms may release toxins that pose a risk to human health. Page 256 of 310 Harmful algal blooms and their associated toxins are an emerging risk to water utilities across the United States, but at present are not regulated by the United States Washington the or State Agency Protection Environmental (EPA) Department of Health (DOH). In February 2022, the Cities executed an interlocal agreement to hire a consulting firm (RH2) to create a management plan addressing the risks posed by harmful algae blooms to the region’s public water supplies. In May 2022 to November 2022, the Cities conducted sampling events at Raw Water sampling points as proposed in the management plan. V. DISCUSSION: During the 2021 algal bloom event, the availability of laboratory services to support regional monitoring needs was identified as a weak link potentially impacting The State Washington risk. the of management effective the FBenton and Health of Department Health have (BFHD) District ranklin partnered to equip the BFHD with equipment and training to establish a local capability to screen untreated water samples for the presence of toxins associated with the harmful algae blooms. It is prudent for all four jurisdictions to prepare plans to monitor and respond to the possible impairment of our potable water supplies by a harmful algal bloom. Likewise, there is a need to fund the operation of the BFHD laboratory water screening process and it is in the four cities’ best interest to collectively fund a fair share of the BFHD laboratory operation as an element of its harmful algae bloom management plan. The BFHD laboratory will be more responsive and less expensive than alternative service providers. The purpose of this Interlocal Cooperation Agreement is to authorize a collaborative effort between the Parties to fund a harmful algae bloom water quality screening laboratory program in support of the regional Quad-City Algal Bloom Management and Response Plan. City staff recommends approval of this Interlocal Cooperative Agreement as a replacement of the previous agreement that expired in 2022.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows: II. Agreement Section 1. Purpose The purpose of this Agreement is to authorize a collaborative effort between the Parties to fund a harmful algae bloom water quality laboratory screening program in support of the regional Quad-City Algal Bloom Management and Response Plan. Section 2. Legal Entity No separate legal or administrative entity is created upon execution of this Agreement. Section 3. Administration BFHD shall be the administrator for the purposes of this Agreement and shall operate the harmful algae bloom screening laboratory and issue invoices to the Cities for laboratory services provided as described below. Section 4. Costs, Funding and Contributions BFHD laboratory testing expenses, for untreated drinking water samples collected and delivered by the cities, shall be shared between, Richland, West Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. BFHD, Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco shall each contribute an amount equal to 2/7 (28.6%) of the laboratory operating costs. West Richland shall contribute an amount equal to 1/7 (14.3%) of the laboratory operating costs. BFHD shall issue invoices to Richland, West Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick for the Cities’ respective share of the expenses. Laboratory testing shall be provided at a flat rate of $65.00 per test, based on the actual cost for providing the services and include time, materials, and indirect costs per BFHD Fee Policy. Testing fees will be reviewed annually and adjusted as costs change. BFHD will provide an estimate for budgeting purposes to cities upon request. BFHD shall submit monthly invoices via e-mail to the Billing/Financial contact of each city, or their successor listed in Exhibit A. Section 5. Water Quality Screening Program Responsibilities BFHD will operate a laboratory using the ELISA analysis method that will be used to analyze untreated Columbia River water samples. The ELISA method is intended to provide screening for the presence of HAB-related toxins, but is not sufficient to accurately quantify specific concentrations of toxins that are needed for treatment process controls and public information. The intended program involves one sample run every second and fourth Tuesday of each month beginning in early April through the end of November BFHD will provide sample bottles and sample collection instructions to Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. Richland, Pasco and Kennewick will collect and deliver untreated Columbia River water samples to the BFHD on the designated days. BFHD will Page 261 of 310 2023 Interlocal Cooperation Agreement – Quad-City, BFHD Harmful Algal Bloom Laboratory Page 3 complete the laboratory analysis and provide preliminary results on or before the end of the business day following sample delivery. In accordance with the Regional Quad-City Algal Bloom Management Plan, if algae bloom related toxins are detected in the BFHD ELISA analysis, Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick will begin analytical sampling of untreated and finished water samples at their water treatment plants. The analytical sampling will use another laboratory for the sample analysis. Richland, Pasco and Kennewick will cease delivering samples to BFHD screening laboratory until such time as the Cities, operating under the terms of the Regional Algal Bloom Management Plan and the Washington State Department of Health regulatory oversight, cease analytical sampling at the water treatment plants. During analytical sampling, the cost-sharing approach to the BFHD ELISA laboratory will be suspended. If the BFHD ELISA laboratory is reactivated for municipal water supplies, the cost- sharing approach will resume. Section 6. Property No real or personal property shall be acquired as a consequence of the execution of this Agreement. Each Party shall own and receive its own copy of BFHD laboratory analysis reports produced as a result of this Agreement. Section 7. Additional Resources BFHD, Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland will be responsible for its own labor and equipment as needed to support sample collection and transportation and for operational decisions and actions taken in response to laboratory results. Section 8. Duration This Agreement shall start effective May 1, 2023 and shall expire on December 31, 2028. This Agreement may be renegotiated sooner if any rules or regulations regarding the monitoring or management of HAB change. Section 9. Termination This Agreement may be terminated by a Party’s written notice to the others, which notice shall be effective 120 (120) days after received by the last party required to be notified. The remaining Parties may choose to provide a written modification to this Agreement or continue to operate under this Agreement without the noticing Party. Section 10.

The goal of a proclamation is to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Pasco citizens and non-profit organizations, honor occasions of importance and significance, and increase public awareness of issues to improve the well-being of the people of this city. Information on how to request proclamations is available on the City's website (also attached) to provide equitable opportunity for community members and organizations to have their events and achievements recognized and celebrated. In recent years, staff have initiated proclamations for nationally recognized history months when they are not requested by a commu nity member or organization, this has resulted in unintentional delays in recognition.

REFERENCE(S): General Fund Report II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: N/A III. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Attached is the General Fund financial update for March 2023. The General Fund is a major fund of the City.

General Fund Financial Report / Page 2 The table above reflects year-to-date activity for the years 2022 and 2023. All permitted activity in the City is included in these totals whether a small or large scale improvement or new construction. In comparing the totals through March of the two years, the total permit count is slightly higher, but the value of the permits has increase by 81%. For the month of March 2023, the number of Single Family Dwelling Unit (SFDU) permits issued was 18 with a total permit value of $5,832,308. The average March value of the SFDU was $324,017. This monthly average is higher than year-to-date average value at end of February 2023 ($263,334). The increase may indicate home builder/buyer confidence improvement. Future activity will reveal if higher permit values is a trend. As compared to year-to-date activity, the 2023 SFDU count and value are lower in the current year than activity as of March 31, 2022. End of March of 2022, the totals were 60 SFDU permits with a value of $18.5M. Average home value of $277,656. For 2023, the year-to-date count was 45 SFDU permits with a value of $11.8M. The average value of SFDU permits was $262,977. Commercial permit value for the month of March recognized the issuance of two large scale multi-family projects, valued at $69.8M. These projects resulted in significant monthly and year-to-date comparison improvements, reflected in table above. Year to Date Building Permit Activity - Comparative Page 277 of 310 Year January February March Total 2020 $1,228,682 $1,335,434 $1,112,566 $3,676,681 2021 1,213,199 1,418,146 1,091,618 3,722,963 2022 1,824,145 2,062,012 1,739,441 5,625,598 2023 $1,508,663 $1,777,336 $1,450,611 $4,736,610 The sales tax rate applied to City of Pasco retail sales is 8.9%. January 2023 reflected the first month of tax collection of .2% to benefit the Pasco Public Facilities District, a voter approved tax to support construction of an Aquatic Center. The City of Pasco receives a share of Regular and Optional sales tax (1%), Criminal Justice (0.1%), and Public Safety (0.3%). Taxes that make up the majority of the 8.9% rate are distributed to the State and to Franklin County. The City receives 85% of the 1% Regular and Optional sales tax. Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales tax is distributed to the City by Franklin County based on different distribution methods prescribed by State of Washington laws and weighted by population. Over the past many years the City has benefitted from construction sales tax generated from major permitting activities, especially construction by large commercial and industrial partners. These taxes are one-time in nature but the City anticipates more of these large scale projects to help increase its sales tax base for the next few years. Below is a comparison of monthly receipts by year. 2023 revenues are greater than those of 2020 and 2021, but below 2022 collection. One large scale project of 2022 attributes for the tax revenue difference.

Revenues are not received in a linear fashion in many categories. Sales tax for retails sales for January sales is received in March, as there is typically a two-month reporting and distribution process. Property tax is received primarily in two large installments in May and November. The Miscellaneous category of revenue reflects a one time receipt that will not recur later in the year. Transfers and Subsidy category includes planned bond issuance and sales of capital assets that have not yet occurred. General Fund Financial Report / Page 5 As noted on the previous page, revenue activity is adjusted to reflect year of earning. This treatment is made to meet Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Below are the results of March operations following the accounting entries. Page 280 of 310 Category Name Biennial Budget Actual as of March 31, 2023 % Spent Transfers and Subsidy - Expense $40,131,302 $71,604 0.18% Salaries and Wages 67,719,671 6,280,643 9.27% Personnel Benefits 21,686,728 2,247,367 10.39% Supplies 6,665,827 657,986 9.87% Services 39,990,860 6,409,315 16.03% Capital Outlays 3,595,460 654,494 18.20% Debt Principal 8,202,300 0 0.0% Debt Interest 1,952,408 600 0.03% Total $189,884,556 $16,322,009 8.60% Expense - Year-to-Date As of March month-end, the elapsed time is approximately 12.5% of the biennium. As payroll processing is spread over 26 pay periods annually, the elapsed time differs slightly from a month-to-year comparison. For categories of expenditures, services and capital purchases are the only categories where year-to-date spending is greater than elapsed time expectation. Spending in both categories do not follow a linear purchase pattern. Service spending for items like dues and subscriptions (43%), insurance premiums (124%) and service contracts (65%) reflect one time charges for full year benefit. Inflationary impact may result in the need for budget adjustment. However, any budgetary need will be assessed as the year progresses. In the category of Transfers and Subsidy - Expense, funding is transferred and expense recorded in concert with capital project activity. These transfers will increase when more construction projects are undertaken as the year progresses. The Capital Outlays category are reflective of budgeted tool and technology purchases. General Fund Financial Report / Page 6 Page 281 of 310 General Fund Financial Report / Page 7 Capital Projects M A J O R P R O J E C T S I N P R O G R E S S General Fund provides support for capital projects on a regular basis. The fund also retains all Limited Tax General Obligation bonds proceeds and transfers those proceeds to General Construction Fund as needed per the accounting standards. Fire Station 85 - Design and site work for future Fire Station 85 site began in 2022. For 2023, completion of the Fire Station is anticipated. Funding available from a LTGO bond issued in 2019 plus an issuance of new debt financing in 2023 will support construction spending. The 2023 - 2024 biennial budget includes $7 million budget for this project. Carryover of available budget as of 12/31/2022 will complete the budgetary authority for 2023 - 2024. As of the end of March spending is $666,373. In the month of March, progress related to construction of Fire Station 85 continued. A long anticipated project for the construction of a new Animal Control Facility reflected spending in the month of March. Animal Control Facility - Funding for the facility is shared between the three partner municpalities; Pasco, Kennewick and Richland. The City of Pasco issued a bond in 2019 to support construction. The total project budget is $6.4M. Funds previously Council Approved will be carryover into the 2023 -2024 Biennial Budget to provide budget authority. Page 282 of 310 General Fund Financial Report / Page 8 Financial Outlook In preparing for the coming years' activity and sound planning, the City continues efforts to identify long-term needs. The resulting analysis efforts will allow for options to consider funding solutions. Part of this process included in the 2023-2024 biennial budget is the preparation of a General Fund Long - Term Financial Planning model. The goal of this plan is to assess future community needs and the related demands on the General Fund. Also part of planning efforts, some of which began in 2022, are various studies related to fee structure. The need for assessment is especially vital where growth is driving the City's capital expenditures. Those studies include fire and traffic impact fees and capital expansion or connection fees for City provided utilities. As historically true, staff prioritizes efforts to apply for grant funding or low-interest loans to support community benefiting projects. Successful grant funding and lower interest loan instruments lessen costs to be passed on to tax and rate payers. This report reflects activity through the end of March 2023. Revenues are lagging as compared to a linear comparison of budget expectation. However, when looking at activity there is not cause for concern. Property tax has will be received in May and November. Sales tax is behind 2022 year to date receipts. However, 2022 included sales tax for a large construction project. With that input removed, revenues are on par with 2022. Permitting revenues are nearly on pace, 12.06% of budgeted. Charges for goods and services are low, but this delay has the potential to be made up in future months' related to engineering service activity with construction and the application of internal service funds. Expense activity is also below budgetary expectation. These differences are a function of timing of effort and activity. Comparison of budget to actual activity is a monthly partnership between operating departments and Finance. The continuation of inflationary pressure remains a concern we are monitoring.

Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular Meeting: 5/1/23 FROM: Steve Worley, Director Public Works SUBJECT: *Resolution No. 4347 & Ordinance No. 4669 - Change Orders No. 18-21 for the Lewis Street Overpass and Budget Amendment I. REFERENCE(S): Resolution Ordinance Change Order Summary II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4347, authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Orders No. 11 to the construction contract with Cascade Bridge, LLC. for the Lewis Street Overpass Project. MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4669, amending the 2023-2024 Capital Projects Biennial Budget (Ordinance No. 4620) of the City of Pasco, Washington, by providing supplement thereto; to provide additional appropriation in the City's Overlay Fund for the Lewis Street Overpass (LSO) Project. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Original Agreement $22,344,999.88 Previous Change Orders Nos. 1-17 $711,828.77 Change Orders No. 18-21 (proposed) $1,223,967.32 New Agreement Total $24,280,795.97 The adopted budget for the project is insufficient to accommodate this change order. At the close of 2022, three projects had remaining budget available. The budget availability is a byproduct of lower than expected project costs, as well as the removal of required City support for grant matching funds. Instead, grant funds covered 100% of project costs. Therefore, budget authority exists of $1,070,097. With Council approval, funds will be transferred to support the Lewis Street Overpass change orders. An additional budget amendment Page 285 of 310 ordinance is presented in the amount of $153,870 to accompany this change order approval for consideration. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Street Lewis the replaces existing Overpass Street Lewis The project undercrossing, constructed under the BNSF Railyard in 1937, with a new bridge over the railyard. On March 1, 2021, Council awarded the Lewis Street Overpass construction contract in of amount the WA Cascade of LLC Bridge, to Vancouver, $22,344,999.88. Since construction began, the project has required seventeen change orders for a total of $711,828.77. Three additional change orders are presented for Council approval as follow: • Change Order 018 - BNSF Bridge S3 Rebar Modification ($41,160.96): On the BNSF Bridge the planned S3 bars allowed for only 1/2" clearance between the bar and the bottom of the block out of the barrier. JUB has issued a change to have Cascade Bridge refabri cate new bar so that there is a min of 2" concrete cover. This change order covers the cost to refabricate 4,488 S3 dowel bars, and remove and replace the 1,264 S3 bars already installed. Schedule impacts for this have not been quantified yet, and will be addressed on a later change order if determined valid. • Change Order 019 – SEW Subsurface Delay ($848,788.71): When excavating for Structural Earth Walls 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8, the Contractor discovered: unstable soil, foundation walls from the previous stru cture, tunnels and stair cases, abandoned fuel tanks, and significant amounts of debris. Upon consulting with JUB and GPI (Geotech firm), the City approved Cascade Bridge to proceed on force account to remove debris and improve the subgrade in the area below the walls. The City has agreed to extend the contract time 60 days due to these issues, with 57 days being compensable. • Change Order 020 - Modification to Girder Sweep Means and Methods ($77,192.65): BNSF stated that they will not allow a girder with a horizontal sweep out of tolerance to be set and remediated after placement. To reduce the risk of a girder being out of tolerance at time of placement, Cascade Bridge modified their means and methods planned at bid time to include pre-measuring the girder sweeps before the track window, to ensure all girders were in tolerance. This change order covers Page 286 of 310 the cost of the pre-measurement of the girder sweeps; the cost and time was tracked as force account. • Change Order 21: Modified Approach Slab – Sleeper Slab and Strip Seal ($256,825.00): This is a design error. JUB realized in late 2022 that they had designed the wrong style of approach slab for the BNSF bridge and reissued several sheets. The change reduces the length of the approach slab, adds a sleeper slab, changes the expansion joint type, and modifies the flexible coupling in the barrier. While the amount shows $256,825.00, this does not take into account that the original bid item for the BNSF approach slab, A-055, will be marked as NO PAY on the estimate, as per direction from the City. V. DISCUSSION: Change Order 18 is the result of a design change as construction progressed. The modification of the rebar is to allow more cover and secure connection. Change Order 19 is necessary as this was an unknown field condition and required the quick action on part of the contractor and team to remove debris and create a a suitable subgrade for the overpass. Change Order 20 is necessary to address the concerns brought fourth by BNSF which caused a change to the contractors means and methods of installation to meet this higher requirement. Change Order 21 is addressing a design error in the approach slab of the overpass. A design change was issued and thus the Change Order for construction. City Staff recommends approval of the proposed Change Orders No. 18, 19, 20, and 21 with Cascade Bridge, LLC. in the amount of $1,223,967.32 Page 287 of 310 Resolution – Lewis Street Overpass project - CO 18 - 21 - 1 RESOLUTION NO. _________ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDERS NO. 18 - 21 TO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH CASCADE BRIDGE, LLC.

Change Order 21: Modified Approach Slab – Sleeper Slab and Strip Seal $256,825.00 This is a design error. JUB realized in late 2022 that they had designed the wrong style of approach slab for the BNSF bridge and reissued several sheets. The change reduces the length of the approach slab, adds a sleeper slab, changes the expansion joint type, and modifies the flexible coupling in the barrier. While the amount shows $256,825.00, this does not take into account that the original bid item for the BNSF approach slab, A-055, will be marked as NO PAY on the estimate, as per direction from the City.

Blanche Barajas Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: _____________________________ ___________________________ Debra Barham, CMC Kerr Ferguson Law, PLLC City Clerk City Attorneys Published: ___________________________ Page 298 of 310 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council April 26, 2023 TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular Meeting: 5/1/23 FROM: Darcy Buckley, Finance Director Finance SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4667 - Carryover Funds for Capital Projects from 2021- 2022 Biennium I. REFERENCE(S): Ordinances - Budget Amendment Available Capital Budget as of December 31, 2022. II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION OPTION A: (CIP Only): I move to adopt Ordinance No.4667, amending the 2023-2024 Biennial Budget (Ordinance No. 4620) of the City of Pasco, Washington, by providing supplement thereto; to provide for additional appropriation from the carryover of the prior year budget to complete capital projects, and further, authorize publication by summary only. -or- MOTION OPTION B: (CIP and Equipment Replacement): I move to adopt Ordinance No.4667, amending the 2023-2024 Biennial Budget (Ordinances Nos. 4619 and 4620) of the City of Pasco, Washington, by providing supplement thereto; to provide for additional appropriation from the carryover of the prior year budget vehicle and equipment capital complete projects, capital to and purchases, and further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Capital Improvement Plan: Various Funds - $140,965,501 (Expenditures), $79,078,536 (Revenues) Equipment Replacement - Government: $1,414,383 (Expenditures) Equipment Replacement - Utility: $1,791,673 (Expenditures) Page 299 of 310 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Budget carryovers for capital projects and purchases is a best practice. For large scale capital projects, the magnitude of construction activity often times does not lend to completion in a budget period. This process also accommodates project schedules that may be impacted by purchasing and/or weather delays. Without the budget carryover process, estimates of construction progress as of a future date must be made during the budget planning process. When relying on an estimate for a unique project, it is likely to over or under budget funds. Carryover of remaining budget for previously approved projects, allows for consistency in project budgeting. At the April 24th Council Workshop, staff presented the carryover budget adjustment unexpended the (b), 35.34.200 RCW per Council to request appropriation balances of a preceding budget may be carried forward from prior fiscal periods until fully expended or the purpose accomplished. The budget carryover is a mathematical calculation of previously approved budget requests for capital purchases less spending to result in a remaining budget available figure. During the last biennium, the City found success obtaining grant and low-interest loan project support. All new funding changes are not reflected in the existing budget or Capital Improvement Plan. With the 2023-2024 Biennial Budget, a new position of Public Works Financial Analyst was created. With this addition, the Finance and Public Works Engineering staff will be collaborating at a greater level to monitor project budgets and evaluate funding changes. In 2022, a new project accounting module was placed in use. Its availability is a useful tool. A year of activity has exposed areas of improvement that can be instituted for greater reporting capability. With the addition of a new position, PW Financial Analyst, routine meetings between finance and engineering staff will occur to provide additional communication surrounding project activity and project budgets. As a project team, the interdepartmental collaboration will prove beneficial for long term planning and record keeping. V. DISCUSSION: Since the April 24th Council Workshop, staff completed the Equipment Replacement audit, which consists of budgeted purchases versus actual biennium purchases. The Equipment Replacement Funds serve the purpose of accumulating annual savings for replacement of equipment and vehicles when an asset's service life is complete. During 2021-2022 biennium, supply chain issues caused significant Page 300 of 310 disruption to equipment and vehicle availability. Funds were accumulated and purchases planned, but availability to procure equipment and vehicles was limited. For this reason, many planned and pre -funded purchases did not occur as budgeted. Carryover of these previously budgeted items will allow for purchases to be supported when items are available. Staff is asking Council consideration to include the Equipment Replacement carryover from 2021-2022 budget to the 2023-2024 budget at this time. A second Ordinance was prepared, as Option B and is attached, which includes both the CIP and Equipment replacement carryover.
