Kennedy Jenks <br /> Technical Memorandum <br /> Kyle Bringedahl, The Boeing Company <br /> 13 April 2021 <br /> KJ 2096009.00 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Discharges from the detention basin to the proposed conveyance system will be controlled with <br /> an actuated sluice gate to ensure no more than 49 cfs discharges to the stilling basin for up to <br /> the 25-year storm event. Storms larger than the 25-year event will exit the detention basin via <br /> the spillway, matching existing conditions. <br /> Other proposed improvements include enhanced pretreatment and increased treatment volume. <br /> For pretreatment, two continuous deflective separators will be installed upstream of the <br /> enhanced media filter for suspended solids removal. To increase the volume treated, one of the <br /> existing sluice gates on the detention basin outlet riser will be actuated to allow treatment down <br /> to water surface elevation 345.2, four feet deeper than existing conditions. When the detention <br /> basin water level elevation is between 345.2 and 348, detention basin discharges will be <br /> pumped to the enhanced media filter for treatment. Operational controls will be implemented to <br /> ensure that spill protection is maintained as in existing conditions. <br /> 1.4 Design Validation <br /> Validation efforts were performed to ensure that the proposed system will meet or exceed <br /> existing flow control and treatment criteria. The removal of constituents of concern by the <br /> proposed enhanced treatment media was determined by media pilot testing, and results were <br /> compared to effluent monitoring data from the existing peat filter. To address hydrologic and <br /> hydraulic criteria, the existing and proposed drainage systems were modeled using EPA <br /> SWMM5 to compare treatment capture efficiency and outflows to the Powder Mill Gulch wetland <br /> and the Powder Mill Creek. <br /> 1.4.1 Media Pilot Testing <br /> Media research and pilot testing was performed to confirm that the selected media is suitable for <br /> treating the parameters of concern and outperforms the existing peat filter. Pilot testing was <br /> performed at the site during winter 2020-2021. The selected media mixture consists of 60% <br /> sand, 15% biochar, 15% coconut core pith and 10% zeolite, and is a significant upgrade over <br /> the existing peat filter. The new media removed copper to well below the numeric effluent limits <br /> of 70 pg/L for total zinc (zinc) and 10 pg/L for total copper (copper). The existing peat filter was <br /> designed to meet the previous permit limits of 117 pg/L and 14 pg/L for zinc and copper, <br /> respectively. A table summarizing media performance is provided below. <br /> 1\kjc.locallkjc-rootlkj-projectslfederalwayl202012096009.00 boeing everett sw treatment109-reports19.08-reports-tmslcity of everelt design tmlboeing everett sw design tech memo.docx ©Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, <br /> Inc. <br />
