RKI is providing permit support, development review, engineering standards updates, and stormwater management planning for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) under the Port of Seattle’s Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Environmental Review and Permitting Services contract. Recent tasks include development of the STIA LID Guideline for compliance with the Airport’s NPDES Individual Permit and Federal Aviation Administration requirements for commercial airport operations, planning for regional infiltration facilities, and assistance with Port policies and strategic goals.

RKI updated the City’s Storm and Surface Water Engineering Standards to comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements, including new requirements for Low Impact Development (LID), and provided training for municipal staff and design professionals on how to use the new standards in the preparation and permit review of stormwater site plans.

RKI led the 2016 update of the County’s codes and engineering standards to meet requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit, including review and update of the County’s roadway, stormwater, subdivision, and landscape codes; update of the County’s Stormwater Design Manual; and development of outreach materials to educate designers on how to comply with the updated codes and standards.

Following on our work with Kitsap County Department of Community Development to update the County’s codes, Road Standards, and Stormwater Design Manual to meet regulatory requirements of the NPDES permit, RKI provided training for Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Inspectors on how to apply the updated codes and standards in managing construction of roadway CIPs.

RKI provided on-call services to the City of Everett Public Works to assist with the City's 2016 Low Impact Development (LID) code update; provide technical assistance with the Western Washington Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit compliance strategy; and conduct training for staff from Public Works, Transportation, Parks, and Permit Services on how to work with the new code and permit requirements.
