The Puget Sound Action Team selected Jefferson County in 2005 as part of a set of a dozen local governments to receive consultant assistance to examine development regulations to optimize opportunities to employ "low impact development" (LID) stormwater management techniques. See Low Impact Development for evaluation results and more information on LID.
