Requires any county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district constructing, altering, or maintaining storm water control facilities to use integrated pest management mosquito control abatement methods in wet ponds, storm water retention ponds, wet retention ponds, and wet extended detention ponds.   Official Text and Analysis.

Requires cities, counties, towns, water-sewer districts, and flood control zone districts to: design stormwater retention ponds to inhibit mosquito breeding; provide for control of vegetation growth in the ponds to inhibit mosquitoes; and consult with the local mosquito control district when developing construction plans that will include stormwater retention ponds.

Requires a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control district to: consider, and to the extent possible use, the department of ecology's design guidelines for constructing storm water retention ponds to inhibit mosquito propagation; and consult with the department of health or mosquito control district about the most effective strategy to prevent west nile virus, when notified of the disease. Provides that where established, mosquito control districts are responsible for mosquito control in storm water retention ponds when notified of west nile virus.

Provides that where established, mosquito control districts are responsible for mosquito control in storm water retention ponds when notified of west nile virus.

Provides that a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must: consider and construct stormwater facilities to maintain and control vegetation to inhibit mosquito breeding; and consult with local mosquito control districts when developing construction plans that include stormwater retention ponds. A county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must maintain and control vegetation growth in stormwater retention ponds to minimize mosquito propagation. When notified of the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV) or other mosquito-borne human diseases, a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must consult with the Department of Health or the mosquito control district as to the most effective integrated pest management strategy to use. In areas with mosquito control districts, the district must abate mosquitoes when notified of the presence of WNV or other mosquito-borne human diseases.

Clarifies that maintenance and control of vegetation growth needs to be conducted without compromising the utility of storm water retention ponds.

Requires a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district to construct storm water retention ponds in a manner that minimizes mosquito habitat and propagation.

Provides that a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must: consider, and to the extent possible consistent with the Department of Ecology's design guidelines for stormwater retention ponds, construct stormwater facilities to maintain and control vegetation to inhibit mosquito breeding; and consult with local mosquito control districts, where established, when developing construction plans that include stormwater retention ponds. A county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must maintain and control vegetation growth in, without compromising the function of, stormwater retention ponds to minimize mosquito propagation. When notified of the presence of WNV or other mosquito-borne human diseases, a county, city, town, water-sewer district, or flood control zone district must consult with DOH or the mosquito control district as to the most effective IPM strategy to use. In areas with mosquito control districts, the district must abate mosquitoes when notified of the presence of WNV or other mosquito-borne human diseases.
