Stormwater
Title 13 of Chelan County Code
Development causes significant changes in patterns of stormwater flow from land into surface waters. Water quality can be affected when runoff carries sediment or other pollutants into streams, wetlands, lakes, or groundwater. Stormwater management can help to reduce these effects. In 2010, the County adopted Chapter 13.16 Stormwater Management in Chelan County and Chapter 13. 18 Construction and Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff Control Program. The County utilizes Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington for guidance.
