A Refresher on Honolulu’s Proposed Storm Water Fee: How Would Storm Water Rate Structure Work

Room 308 AB

The Department of Facility Maintenance has been working with stakeholders since 2019 to develop a Storm Water Fee (SWF) for Oʻahu to support the island's stormwater management needs. The proposed fee will apply to properties with 300 or more square feet of impervious surface, such as rooftops, driveways, and parking lots. The SWF will fund the Storm Water Enterprise Fund, ensuring dedicated revenue for managing and maintaining the island's stormwater system, which includes activities like stream cleaning, beach mouth openings, and stormwater pollution control.

The SWF fee will be based on the amount of impervious surface on each property, which serves as a proxy for the stormwater runoff it generates. The department has developed a rate model to assess different rate structure options and service levels. The model takes into account stormwater operation and maintenance services, as well as capital projects for controlling stormwater volumes and addressing pollutants. The proposal includes stakeholder engagement with residents, businesses, and community groups to gather input and assess the potential impacts on different property types. The goal is to create a more equitable and sustainable funding system for stormwater management on Oʻahu.

Unclogging Urban Watersheds: The Role of Trash in Sediment Capture with Project Based Insights

Room 304 AB

Trash negatively affects water quality, ecosystems, and aesthetics, and can cause beach closures and flooding by clogging waterways. Accurately measuring trash loads in streams is difficult due to reliance on land-use assumptions rather than real storm data or specific watershed conditions. Trash is often linked to sediment movement, as seen in urban flood control systems where both accumulate. This presentation explores methods to capture both trash and sediment, with case studies including a complex transboundary watershed in Tijuana discharging into San Diego. Data from cleanup and dredging efforts reveal variations in trash density and composition, which are crucial for designing effective mitigation systems. The session highlights practical projects and lessons applicable across different watershed types.
