Transportationir-ibson Traffic Consultant$, Inc. <br /> MEMORANDUM �� 3O14 <br /> WAsy� <br /> To: Laura Gurley, Planner—Port of Everett ?r <br /> From: Matthew Palmer, PE ' <br /> Subject: SEPA Trip Generation Zl'3 <br /> Project: Maritime Industrial Expansion, GTC #20-315 p 42322 <br /> Date: February 9, 2021p � <br /> NAI. <br /> Gibson Traffic Consultants, Inc. (GTC) has been retained to provide information establishing the <br /> prior use trip generation for the site using prior SEPA documentation, identify the construction <br /> traffic required to cap the site/provide outside storage cargo area and operations to determine the <br /> Phase 1 use trip generation and if there will be any impacts to the City street system. <br /> Kimberly Clark Trip Generation <br /> Kimberly Clark Scotts Paper was located on this site for over 50 years. From SEPA documents for <br /> the facility, approximately 220 truck trips and 500 employee trips utilized the site daily for a total of <br /> 720 ADT. The ratio of PM peak-hour trips to daily trips for manufacturing uses identified in the <br /> Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 10th Edition is 0.67 PM peak-hour/3.93 <br /> ADT or 17%. Therefore, it is anticipated that the Kimberly Clark plant had 38 truck trips and 85 <br /> employee trips during the PM peak-hour for a total of 123 PM peak-hour trips. These trips should <br /> be credited towards the development's future trip generation and mitigation impacts. <br /> Construction Trip Generation <br /> After the soil remediation of the site is completed the site will be capped with crushed base rock and <br /> Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA). It is anticipated there will be 61,228 cubic yards (CY) of rock and <br /> 38,296 CY of HMA. This will be a temporary construction activity. <br /> After the capping, there will be additional construction activities including the construction of <br /> concrete wash pad and temporary building for the 7 additional longshoremen. This will involve the <br /> import and export of materials utilizing 5,159 trucks. This will equate to 10,319 truck trips <br /> assuming the export is not removed with vehicles importing materials. If this construction is over a <br /> 3-month period assuming 5-days a week of operations, there will be 159 truck trips per day and if <br /> the construction period were to span a 6-month period it would result in only 79 truck trips per day. <br /> Typically, truck operations during the PM peak-hour represent a maximum of 15% of the daily <br /> truck trips; therefore, this would result in 24 PM peak-hour truck trips on a 3-month period or 12 <br /> PM peak-hour truck trips over 6-months. In both cases the number of daily and PM peak-hour <br /> truck trips is less than the number of truck trips Kimberly Clark had to/from the site during full <br /> operation. The construction activities and the quantities of materials and trucks are included in the <br /> attachments. <br /> 2813 Rockefeller Avenue • Suite B • Everett,WA 98201 <br /> Tel: 425-339-8266 • Fax: 425-258-2922 • E-mail: info@gibsontraffic.com <br />
