October 6, 2019 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br />Limited Geotechnical Investigation <br />Stormwater Management Feasibility <br />The site .is'.underlain .by relatively dense, very,fine-grained glacial deposits. These soils have a <br />very low permeability which decreases with depth. It is likely that there will be shallow perched <br />groundwater throughout the property that further limits infiltration suitability. <br />We, performed an in -situ small scale Pilot Infiltration Test in HB-1 at a depth of 4 feet below <br />grade. Following testing and application of correction factors for site variability (0.33), testing <br />(o.5), and influent control. (o.9) the infiltration rate was 0.21 inches per hour, which is lower than <br />what the Department of Ecology considers to be, feasible. <br />We do not recommend utilizing infiltration systems at the site. There does not appear to be <br />adequate space for dispersion flowpaths; therefore, .we recommend direct connection `to City <br />infrastructure with a perforated connection. <br />We should be provided with final plans ,for review to determine if the intent of our <br />recommendations has been incorporated or if additional modifications are needed. <br />Erosion and Sediment Control <br />Erosion and sediment control (ESC) is used to reduce the transportation of eroded sediment to <br />wetlands, streams, lakes, drainage systems, and adjacent ; properties. Erosion and sediment <br />control measures should be implemented, and these measures should be in general accordance <br />with local regulations. At a minimum, the following' basic recommendations should be <br />incorporated into the design of the erosion and sediment control features for the site: <br />• Schedule the soil, foundation, utility, and other work requiring excavation or the disturbance <br />of the site soils, to take place during the dry season (generally May hrough September). <br />However, provided precautions are taken using. Best Management Practices (BMP's), grading <br />activities can be completed during the wet season (generally October through April). <br />• All site work should be completed and stabilized as quickly as possible. <br />• Additional perimeter erosion and sediment control features may be required to reduce the <br />possibility of sediment entering the surface water. ; This may include additional silt fences, silt <br />fences with a higher Apparent Opening Size (AOS), construction of a berm, or other filtration <br />systems. <br />• Any runoff generated by dewatering discharge should be treated through construction of a <br />sediment trap if there is sufficient space.° If space is limited other filtration methods will need <br />to be incorporated. <br />Closure <br />The information presented herein is based upon professional interpretation .utilizing standard <br />practices and a degree of conservatism deemed proper for this project. We emphasize that this <br />report is valid for this project as outlined above and for the current site conditions, and should not <br />-be -used for any other site. <br />www.cobaltgeo.com (2o6) 331-1097 <br />
