			 design within two years of plan submittal. Sufficient detail of any remaining
			 projects must be provided so that detailed engineering reports can be prepared
			 in the future.
(2) CSO reduction
			 plans shall include the following information together with any other relevant
			 data as requested by the department.
(a)
			 Documentation of CSO activity. Municipalities shall complete a field assessment
			 and mathematical modeling study to establish each CSO's location, baseline
			 annual frequency, and baseline annual volume; to characterize each discharge;
			 and to estimate historical impact by:
(i)
			 Flow monitoring and sampling CSOs. Monitoring and sampling at one or more CSO
			 sites in a group that are in close proximity to one another is sufficient if
			 the municipality can establish a consistent hydraulic and pollutant correlation
			 between or among the group of CSO sites. Sampling may not be required for CSO
			 sites that serve residential basins; and
(ii) Developing a rainfall/stormwater
			 runoff/CSO model to simulate each CSO site's activity; and
(iii) Verifying the model's accuracy with
			 data collected under (a)(i) of this subsection; and
(iv) In circumstances where an historical
			 impact may be discernible, observing and sampling the receiving water sediments
			 adjacent to each CSO site or group of sites to establish the presence and
			 extent of any bottom deposits; and
(v) If the sewer service area upstream of a
			 CSO site includes sanitary sewer sources other than domestic sewage, samples of
			 the sediment deposits shall receive heavy metal analysis and organic pollutant
			 screening. Pending review of results of these analyses, the department may
			 require additional pollutant analyses. If two or more CSO sites serve the same
			 industrial/commercial sources, sediment sampling adjacent to one representative
			 CSO site may suffice.

			 Amendments to manual.
(a) Ecology initiates
			 amendments. If ecology amends its stormwater management manual to change or add
			 a BMP or other technical requirement that applies to highways, ecology shall
			 notify WSDOT in writing and send WSDOT a copy of the amendment. This
			 notification shall include ecology's determination as to whether the highway
			 runoff manual complies with the amendment. If the highway runoff manual does
			 not comply with the amendment, WSDOT shall submit proposed amendments within
			 sixty days unless ecology agrees to a time extension. Such proposed amendment
			 shall be subject to ecology's review and approval.
(b) WSDOT initiates amendments. Amendments
			 proposed by WSDOT to the approved highway runoff manual shall be submitted to
			 ecology for review and approval. WSDOT shall formally consult with affected
