The checklist incorporates current requirements (including PWD’s), contact information, tips, links, and resources, providing comprehensive guidance from conception to construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Developers are encouraged to use the updated Checklist in combination with the latest information available within the PWD Stormwater Management Guidance Manual<\/a> and on the Review Timelines webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year, Development Services’ Stormwater Incentives team introduced Stormwater Connect<\/a><\/em>, a new tool linking green stormwater vendors with non-residential property owners considering stormwater management projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vendors enrolled in Stormwater Connect can promote their specialties, such as design or construction, while participating owners can describe their property and preferred project types. From there vendors and owners can find their match!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Stormwater Connect webpage<\/a> provides a quick signup for the platform and includes additional information about PWD’s Stormwater Grants<\/a> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PWD\u2019s policy concerning Certificate of Occupancy (CO) holds within L&I\u2019s eCLIPSE application was implemented August 1, 2023.
