Reduce storm water runoff through continued implementation of the Lummi Nation Storm Water Management Program. The goals of the Storm Water Management Program are to (1) minimize the opportunities for storm water to wash pollutants into aquifer recharge zones and resource rich estuaries and tidelands of the Reservation, (2) minimize the downstream impacts of development on storm water quantity and quality, and (3) maximize the opportunities for infiltration and aquifer recharge. As part of the Storm Water Management Program, Water Resources Division staff members review Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), Large Project Plans, and Site Plans for proposed development on the Reservation, inspect construction sites to ensure compliance with approved pollution prevention measures (e.g., Best Management Practices [BMPs]), and issue CWA Section 401 Certifications for discharges on tribal lands that require federal permits (LWRD 2011a). The program also encourages the use of low impact development (e.g., infiltration swales, dispersion trenches, pervious/porous pavement, wetland area preservation; Low Impact Development [LID]), leading to the successful application of LID practices across the Reservation.
