Those projects that disturb one acre or more shall obtain an EPA NPDES stormwater construction permit and complete an SWPPP in accordance with EPA requirements, which shall be submitted to the Tribes. Where sensitive lands are impacted by proposed development, a stormwater pollution prevention plan shall be required. Any best management practices employed shall meet the Department of Ecology’s stormwater management program guidelines, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended.
(4) Waiver. The Executive Director may waive the minimum requirements in the Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Manual for Western Washington when they make a written finding that the waiver:

Single-family homes, either stick-built or manufactured, that (i) are under 10,000 square feet of land disturbance for the entire project, (ii) will not disturb or impact any sensitive area or its buffer or alter any natural drainage pattern, and (iii) will not exceed 5,000 square feet of total impervious surfaces, shall have the following minimum requirements:
(i) Site plan that shows existing and proposed buildings, natural drainage flow directions, and any manmade drainage features around the site.
(ii) Erosion and sediment controls sufficient to keep sediment and debris on site during construction. The location of structural best management practices (BMPs) shall be indicated on the site plan.
(iii) Roof gutters and downspouts connected to splash blocks, infiltration facility (e.g., dry well or rain garden), or rain barrels that overflow into home’s yard or landscaping.
(c) Type B Single-Family Home Requirements. Single-family homes that are not a part of a new or redeveloped subdivision and (i) have a sensitive area on site, or (ii) are over 10,000 square feet of land disturbance for the entire project, or (iii) exceed 5,000 square feet of total impervious surfaces, but (iv) do not exceed one acre of disturbance, shall have the following minimum requirements:
(i) Written stormwater plan for individual homes that includes:
(A) Small parcel pollution prevention plan.
(B) On-site stormwater management: Documentation of techniques used to infiltrate, disperse and retain runoff using low-impact development techniques or, if infeasible, engineered treatment facilities.

(C) Runoff treatment for sites that exceed 5,000 square feet of total impervious surfaces: Apply Ecology Manual Minimum Requirement No. 6, Run-Off Treatment Thresholds, for treatment options and facility sizing guidelines.
(D) Flow control is required for projects (over 10,000 square feet of impervious surfaces or convert more than three-quarters acre of native vegetation, pasture, scrub/shrub, or unmaintained nonnative vegetation to lawn or landscape) that discharge, directly or indirectly, into fresh water.
(E) Operation and maintenance guidelines for installed stormwater facilities and on-site septic systems.
(6) Roadway-Only Projects. Minimum stormwater requirements for roadway-only projects will be determined based on the flow chart in Figure 7.14.080(6)(a), Road Drainage Minimum Requirements Flow Chart. Water treatment facilities shall be selected based on the flow chart in Figure 7.14.080(6)(b), Road Drainage Treatment Facility Selection Flow Chart.
