2026 Stormwater Management Program Plan draft open for public comment April 15 to May 1

Skagit County’s 2026 Stormwater Management Program Plan draft will be open for public comment from April 15th until May 1st.

The Stormwater Management Program Plan describes what Skagit County will do to protect natural waterways from stormwater pollution (pollution that flows off roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces when it rains) in 2026.

• The requirements of Skagit County’s Stormwater Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology
• How Skagit County’s Stormwater Program finds and control pollution from various sources
• Skagit County Stormwater Program’s stormwater planning
• Skagit County Stormwater Program’s education and outreach efforts
• Public involvement
• Skagit County Stormwater Program’s system mapping, operations, and maintenance

Skagit County Natural Resources Division wants to encourage Skagit County residents to read and comment on the plan. Public input helps make sure that what the Stormwater Program is doing lines up with what county residents want and need. You can find the plan online at:
