6. PRESERVATION OF NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM <br />The runoff from the NPGIS improvements will be dispersed on -site. By not grading or <br />compacting the majority of the pervious surfaces to remain after construction in the area of <br />disturbance a maximum amount of site runoff from the developed project will be absorbed <br />and infiltrated into the existing on -site soils. This will mimic the existing conditions by <br />maintaining the existing direction and condition of flow from this site. <br />7. ON -SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br />The soils for this project were found to be medium sands. Since infiltration is not feasible <br />due to soil conditions and site slopes, dispersion of the NPGIS and PGIS may be used if <br />infiltration is not feasible. This project proposes to construct 7,802 sf of new plus replaced <br />impervious surfaces. <br />Dispersion of the NPGIS will be done using downspout splash blocks and a level spreader <br />trench. The proposed roof surfaces total approximately 5,966 sf. Four downspout splash <br />blocks are proposed. Each downspout will not be allowed to collect runoff from more than <br />700 sf of roof area. The splash blocks will disperse runoff away from the proposed SFR's <br />in the northwesterly direction. The remaining roof surfaces total approximately 3,166 sf <br />and will be dispersed via a level spreader trench. Level spreader trenches serving up to <br />700 sf of NPGIS area shall be 10 feet long by 2 feet wide. For NPGIS greater than 700 sf, <br />the trench length shall be calculated at a rate of 10 feet per 700 sf of NPGIS, per section <br />12.3.5 of the City of Everett 2010 SMM. The trench length shall not exceed 50 feet. The <br />trench will be 50 feet long by 2 feet wide. <br />A total of approximately 1,848 sf of PGIS is proposed on -site for this project. The runoff <br />generated by the proposed impervious driveway surfaces will be dispersed on -site as <br />sheet flow. Dispersed flows will have a minimum 10 foot vegetated flow path before flows <br />leave the project parcel. <br />Finally, any area of the site not proposed to be covered with impervious surfaces but <br />graded or compacted will be treated to meet the criteria for DOE BMP T.5.13. Please <br />refer to the engineering plans for the locations of the soil amendments and additional <br />details. <br />8. RUN-OFF TREATMENT <br />As noted before this project proposes to install a total of 1,848 sf of new PGIS to serve this <br />project based on the Owner/Applicants plans. <br />Per COE 2010 Stormwater Manual "Minimum Requirements 6: Runoff Treatment — <br />Requirements" a project is required to provide runoff treatment if: <br />(a) Projects in which the total effective, pollution -generating impervious surface (PGIS) is <br />5, 000 square feet or more in a threshold discharge area of the project, or <br />Pignataro SFR 15-1008 <br />March 2016 Page 9 <br />Revised June 2016 <br />
