BEVERLY PARK SUBSTATION EXPANSION—ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER 10,2010 <br /> SNOHOMISH COUNTY PUD PAGE 1 <br /> INTRODUCTION • <br /> This addendum to the original report titled Stormwater Site Plan, Beverly Park Substation <br /> Expansion by RW Beck dated 10/02/09 is to provide runoff calculations for the two level <br /> spreaders proposed for the expansion of the sub-station. There is a third level spreader near the <br /> southeast corner of the site which will handle the runoff from Scenic Drive and Grant Drive. <br /> WWHM3 was used for the calculations as this system provided for better evaluation of <br /> infiltration in systems like the sub-station. According to the geotechnical evaluation, the site is <br /> underlain by weathered and dense till. The sub-station pads will be formed by clean structural <br /> fill, overlain with a clear crushed surfacing base course (fines reduced), overlain by sub-station <br /> rock. Sieves for each of these materials are provided in Appendix A. The geotechnical engineer <br /> has provided design infiltration rates of 0.2 in/hr through the weathered material. Direct rainfall <br /> will flow through the sub-station rock and onto the modified CSBC. This will allow infiltration <br /> into the weathered portions of the underlying soils. In areas of structural fill, this infiltration will <br /> be more pronounced. The pads will be sloped at 2% towards drain rock filled interceptor drains <br /> that will collect any runoff in excess of that which infiltrates into the sub-soils. These trenches <br /> will also allow for further storage and infiltration of runoff. Any flow in excess of the infiltration <br /> capability of both systems will then be collected and directed to level spreaders to allow flow to <br /> disperse into the heavily vegetated slopes of the site. The geotechnical engineer has evaluated the <br /> slope stability as well as the stability of the areas downstream of the level spreaders. This is <br /> provided under separate cover. <br /> The site is divided into two basins, the upper pad and the lower pad each served by its own storm <br /> system. Figure 1: On-site Basin Map gives a graphic representation of the basins. The <br /> Scenic/Grant basin consists of the streets and upstream lots as indicated on Figure 2: Upstream <br /> Basin Map. <br /> UPPER PAD (115 Kv Yard) <br /> This comprises an area of 2.87 acres. It has been modeled in WWHM3 as impervious even <br /> though it will primarily be a gravel surface. This was done because infiltration through the pad <br /> itself has been modeled using a gravel trench facility. That facility will overflow into the trench <br /> facility with the discharge from the trench flowing to the level spreader. The system has the <br /> following characteristics: <br /> Impervious Area: 2.87 <br /> Pad infiltration area*: 42,000 sf <br /> Length of interceptor trench: 1,2001f <br /> Width of trench: 3 feet <br /> Depth below pipe: 2 feet <br /> Length of level spreader: 40 feet <br /> *This is the area of the pad that is underlain with weathered till and structural fill through which <br /> direct rainfall can infiltrate. It does not include areas cut into unweathered till. <br /> J:\SnoCoPUD\8everly Park 09-158\CE\Drainage\DRAINAGE ADDENDUM.doc DWH/srm <br />
