SOUNDVIEW TECHNOLOGY CENTER EVERETT, WA <br />OFFSITE ANALYSIS REPORT <br />Navix Engineering conducted a downstream analysis for the Soundview project October 8, 2016 and <br />January 18, 2017. Downstream analysis included visual, quantitative and qualitative review as required by <br />the City of Everett. The Soundview project will release storm water to four (4) separate sub -basins. Refer <br />to the Downstream Map in Appendix A for each basin analysis. <br />rDownstream Analysis <br />Basin A <br />The western portion of the site drains into Japanese Gulch. The natural drainage flows down to the forest <br />valley which continues to the bottom of Japanese Gulch, where it intersects the Burlington Northern <br />Railroad Spur. The average slope of this large forest valley is approximately 10-20% with portions near the <br />top greater than 40%. Existing flows intersect the railroad bed and are conveyed underneath the railroad <br />bed by a 24" reinforced concrete pipe. See photo 1 below. <br />The flows are then conveyed to west underneath the railroad track and into a catch basin on the west <br />side. The outfall from this catch basin was not found, but during the downstream walk with Gary Gray, <br />BNSF, it was assumed this stormwater outfalled into the drainage swale along the west side of the railroad <br />tracks. This drainage system then continues north into regional detention ponds. The outfalls of this pond <br />system was not reviewed at this time. <br />The flows from the regional pond are piped north, underneath 5th Avenue and exit into the stream <br />channel to the north. This system was not investigated at this time. The emergency outfall of the regional <br />detention pond would travel overland through a riprap channel and into the 54"x36" CMP culvert. The <br />culvert inlet is within a concrete headwall (see photo 2 below) with a debris cage over the inlet. <br />An 18" emergency overflow pipe exists approximately 48" above the invert of the CMP culvert, flows <br />northeast underneath the railroad bed, to an open channel CMP ditch which parallels the railroad bed <br />along the east side. This was the end of the field reconnaissance. This location is approximately'/a mile <br />from Possession Sound. See photo 3 below. <br />In conclusion, the downstream conveyance system is not limited by the 24" pipe traveling underneath the <br />railroad spur. The developed basin flows are designed to match existing forested conditions therefore it is <br />concluded that there are no downstream restrictions to the western conveyance system. <br />I <br />'7 <br />I <br />IMAY 23, 2017 STORMWATER DRAINAGE REPORT PAGE 9 <br />
