CITY OF EVERETT fig P <br /> REVIEWED FOR PERMIT PVJ180 -0 <br /> PROJECT MEMO telAkE 7- -ig OHBL <br /> TO: Erik Emerson DATE: 7/5/2018 <br /> FROM: Bart Brynestad PROJECT NO.: Glacier Peak at Riverside(PW1801-037) <br /> Tacoma-(253)383-2422 PROJECT NAME: 2170746.10 <br /> SUBJECT: Response to Comments received 7/3/2018 <br /> This memorandum summarizes our responses to your comments provided via email from Sabrina Fandler <br /> on 7/3/2018. Your comments are provided verbatim with our responses below. <br /> 1. In my previous comments I noted that a Rational Method analysis must be provided in accordance with <br /> DCSS Section 4-2.2(1) and(3). Section 4-2.2(3). The report includes a well laid out analysis of the 25 <br /> year storm backwater condition, but does not include a 100 year analysis as required per section 4-2.2(3). <br /> Since the 25 year backwater analysis shows that the system is at capacity with a small amount of ponding <br /> it is necessary to run the 100-year backwater analysis. Although ponding is allowed in the 100 year event <br /> we need to be reasonably sure that the ponding will not cause significant safety concerns or property <br /> damage. Especially of concern are the following locations: <br /> • CB's#8 and#9 have water levels close to the rim elevations in the 25 year analysis. If these CB's <br /> overflow the water will immediately run down the entrance slope into the street system, a system that has <br /> little to no excess capacity available. <br /> • CB's#11 and#12 overflow in the 25 year analysis. The analysis needs to show that the 100 year ponding <br /> will not create a dangerous condition for drivers or overflow to unwanted locations. <br /> Response: To accommodate the 100-year conveyance standards I upsized pipes between <br /> SDCB#6 and SDCB#11.This ensures that there is less than 4" of ponding for this event(only <br /> SDCB#12).The 25-year model was also updated to reflect these upsized pipes and there is <br /> neither overtopping nor ponding during that event.Attached are the updated drainage plan <br /> sheet and the updated rational method model results for the 25-year and 100-year events.The <br /> system now complies with the City's conveyance standards. <br /> 2. In addition, although it wasn't previously commented on many of the pipes are quite shallow and likely don't <br /> meet the recommended cover. If it is necessary to upsize some of the pipes to convey the 100 year flows it <br /> may be necessary to change the pipes to ductile iron. The engineer should verify the pipe materials for the <br /> upper end of the system, especially in consideration of the use of the site by large trucks. <br /> Response: Both pipes have been checked for appropriate cover. Pipes near the southwest <br /> driveway are now ductile iron to accommodate a minimum cover of 1.0'at this location.This <br /> depth is acceptable for ductile iron pipe. Some other shallow CPEP pipes along the west side <br /> of the building have at least 1.0' of cover,which is acceptable for ADS N-12 (CPEP) per the <br /> manufacturer's recommendation.Additionally,these shallow pipes are all on private property <br /> as part of a private drainage system. <br /> BEB/ ql). 0 <br /> tit <br /> JUL 10 2018 <br /> : (______,,L,,,, <br /> ,, <br /> CITY OF EVERETT <br /> Permit Services <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
