Development Engineering Division
 
Members of the Development Engineering Division conduct plan reviews, issue site development activity permits (SDAPs), inspect active SDAP sites, and review preliminary land use applications for compliance with adopted engineering codes (Titles 11, 12, 16, 18 and 20 of the Kitsap County Code).
 
Stormwater Regulations are effective February 16, 2010.  Development and re-development projects not vested to prior stormwater regulations are subject to the new regulations, developed in conformance with the requirements of the Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.  For a quick overview of changes as they apply to residential building permit submittal, please check out our brochure, "Changes in Stormwater Regulations will affect your Construction Project".
 
Are you vested under the 1997 Kitsap County Stormwater Design Manual?  Check out the 1997 Kitsap County Stormwater Design Manual Information Site!

Single Family Residential Projects
 
Interested in building a home in Kitsap County?  One aspect commonly overlooked is the application of stormwater regulations to residential construction.  Most projects will need to provide onsite stormwater management and a construction stormwater pollution prevention plan.  If your project disturbs more than 7000 square feet of land (through leveling, grading or construction activities) then you will need to provide a soil management plan as well.  All projects are required to fill out a road approach form, even if one exists on the property.
 
Forms you will Need:
Residential Onsite Stormwater Worksheet
SWPPP Narrative Template & Site Plan Samples
Soil Management Form
Road Approach Form
Site Development Activity Permit Application Form

SDAP Information
 
Some residential projects require an engineered drainage plan.  Typically these projects are located on shorelines, near steep slopes or have other critical drainage problems.  These types of sites require application of a Site Development Activity Permit (SDAP).  Additionally, commercial projects typically require more information.  For more information on commercial projects or the SDAP process, contact a Development Engineering Technician.
