Description The Boatyard General Permit is a statewide permit that provides coverage for discharges of stormwater from boatyards. The permit specifically regulates discharges of stormwater to surface water bodies.

The Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Waste Discharge General Permit Program rule (WAC 173-226-120) requires an economic analysis of any draft wastewater general permit intended to directly cover small businesses. The analysis is required to serve the following purposes:

  • Brief description of the compliance requirements of the draft general permit.

  • The estimated costs for complying with the permit, based on existing data for facilities to be covered under the general permit.

  • A comparison, to the greatest extent possible, of the cost of compliance for small businesses with the cost of compliance for the largest ten percent of the facilities to be covered under the general permit.

  • Discuss what mitigation the permit provides to reduce the effect on small businesses (if a disproportionate impact is expected), without compromising the mandated intent of the permit.
