Drainage Considerations <br /> We recommend that all surfaces be sloped to drain away from the proposed structures.Pavement surfaces <br /> and open space areas should be sloped such that the surface water is collected and routed to suitable <br /> discharge points. As discussed previously, the large stockpiles will result in settlement beneath and <br /> surrounding the area of the stockpiles. Site grading for drainage should include provisions for this <br /> anticipated settlement. <br /> Based on the soil conditions observed in the explorations, we anticipate that groundwater in temporary <br /> shallow excavations can be controlled by pumping water from shallow sumps.The contractor should have <br /> the responsibility to determine what dewatering measures are needed. <br /> Site Preparation and Earthwork <br /> We recommend that site preparation and earthwork be completed during the normally dry season of the <br /> year(generally July through September)if practical,as the workability of the soil becomes difficult and the <br /> erosion potential of the onsite soils is increased during extend periods of wet weather. <br /> Erosion and Sedimentation Control <br /> Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend upon construction methods,slope length <br /> and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type, construction sequencing and weather. <br /> The project impact on erosion-prone areas can be reduced by implementing an erosion and sedimentation <br /> control plan. The plan should be designed in accordance with the City of Everett and/or applicable <br /> Snohomish County standards.The plan should incorporate basic planning principles including: <br /> ■ scheduling grading and construction to minimize soil exposure, <br /> ■ retaining existing vegetation whenever feasible, <br /> ■ revegetating or mulching denuded areas, <br /> ■ directing runoff away from denuded areas, <br /> ■ minimizing the length and steepness of slopes with exposed soils, <br /> ■ decreasing runoff velocities, <br /> ■ preparing drainage ways and outlets to handle concentrated or increased runoff, <br /> ■ confining sediment to the project site,and <br /> ■ inspecting and maintaining control measures frequently. <br /> Temporary erosion protection should be used and maintained in areas with exposed or disturbed soils to <br /> help minimize erosion and reduce transport of sediment to adjacent areas and receiving waters.Permanent <br /> erosion protection should be provided by re-establishing vegetation by hydroseeding or landscape planting. <br /> Until the permanent erosion protection is established and the site is stabilized, site monitoring should be <br /> performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the effectiveness of the erosion control measures and repair <br /> and/or modify them as appropriate. Provisions for modifications to the erosion control system based on <br /> monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and sedimentation control plan. <br /> GEOENGINEERS� August 3,2018 Page 12 <br /> File No.0043-015-00 <br />
