Washingron Ceologic Hawrds and Mitigations <br /> I6 2 Seismicallv Induced I.andslides <br /> I There were no significant slopes on the site. Therefore, shallow and deep-seated, seismically <br /> induced landsliding is unlikely, and no mitigation efforu aze recommended. <br /> I63 Liquefaction <br /> I The encountered stratigraphy has a low potential for liquefaction due to the high strengt6 of the <br /> glacially consolidated neaz-surface lodgement till soiis, and the lack of widespread ground <br /> water. No liquefaction mitigation efforts aze tecommended. <br /> � 6.4 Ground Motion <br /> I Structural design of the buildings should follow 2006 IBC standazds using Site Class "C", as <br /> defined in Table 1613.5.2. The 2006 IBC seismic design pazameters for short period (Ss) and <br /> I i-second period (S�) specual acceleration values were determined by the latitude and longitude <br /> of the project site using the USGS National Seismic Hazazd Mapping Project website <br /> (http://earthquake.usgs.�ov/hazmaps/). The USGS website interpolated ground motions at the <br /> i project site to be 1.256g and 0.44g for building periods of 0.2 and 1.0 seconds, respectively, <br /> with a 2 percent chance of exceedence in 50 yeazs. Using the mapped specual acceleration in <br /> conjunction with the identified site class, information presented in Tables 1613.53(?) and <br /> � 1613.53(2) indicates site coefficients F� = 1.0 and F� = 1356 aze recommended for use in <br /> site seismic design and analysis. <br /> l 7.0 EROSION HAZARDS AND MITIGATION <br /> I As of October 1, 2006, the Washington State Depattment of Ecology (Ecology) Coastruction <br /> Storm Water General Permit (also known as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination <br /> System [NPDES] permit) requires weekly Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control <br /> I (TESC) inspections for all sites 1 or more acres in size that dischazge storm water to surface <br /> waters of the state. The TESC inspections must be completed by a Certified Erosion and <br /> � Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) for the duration of the conswction. TESC reports do not <br /> need to be sent to Ecology, but should be logged into the project Storm Water Pollution <br /> Prevention Plan (SWPPP). If the project does not require a SWPPP, the TESC reports should <br /> i be kept in a file on-site, or by the permit holder if there is no facility on-site. Ecology also <br /> , requires weekly turbidity monitoring by a CESCL of storm water leaving a site for all sites <br /> 5 acres or greater. Ecology requires a monthly summazy report of the tutbidity monitoring <br /> results (if performed) signed by the NPDES permit holder. If the monitored turbidity equals <br /> I or exceeds 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) (Ecology benchmazk standard), the project <br /> best managemznt practices (BMPs) should be modified to decrease t6e turbidity of storm water <br /> Ileaving the site. Changes and upgrades to the BMPs should be continued until the weeklY <br /> ��Q�� 2� ASSOC/ATFD F.iRTN SC/ENCES, lNC. � <br /> IEGlld-EE080213A5-Projenr1200l02i31EEiWF Page 6 <br />
