li�npervious area on the Index Site will decrease from the existing condition, therefore site runoff will decrease <br />and the flow control standard is achieved without a detention system. Calculation of sufficient downstream <br />capacity in the onsite storm-only line is discussed in the Stormwater Conveyance section below. <br />WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS <br />Per the requirements of the City of Everett Public Works Policy No. 2-11, Minimum Requirement No. 6, Runoff <br />Treatment, is not applicable to this project because the site discharges to a combined sewer system. <br />ON-SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT BMPS <br />The City of EveretYs Stormwater Manual requires on-site BMPs to be implemented to the maximum extent <br />feasible, per Minimum Requirement No. 5, On-Site Stormwater Management. Site soils are considered <br />unsuitable for infiltration which limits the feasibility of on-site BMP's. Additionally, because the project is parking <br />lots with very limited contiguous space available for non-parking uses, on-site stormwater BMP's are not <br />applicable to the project. <br />STORMWATER CONVEYANCE <br />The proposed development includes drainage infrastructure to intercept on-site flows and route them through <br />the site. The systems on each site were sized to safely convey the 25-year, 24-hour peak flow using the Santa <br />Barbra Unit Hydrograph Method. The storm drainage design is shown on the project plans and the capacity <br />calculations are included in Appendix C. <br />The Index Site requires additional downstream analysis due to known capacity issues. Records indicate the <br />Index Hall building storm drain previously connected to the onsite combined sewer main off the north edge of <br />the site. A storm drain-only line was previously installed off the south edge of the site to support development <br />on the campus as well as reduce demand on the sewer which was experiencing overflows during large storms. <br />The storm-only main was subsequently extended offsite by the City of Everett in 2001 to bypass the 8-inch <br />combined sewer in Little Broadway and connect to the 42-inch combined sewer in WaverlyAvenue. <br />This project proposes to connect to the onsite storm-only line to avoid adding flows to the 8-inch combined <br />sewer. To determine downstream system capacity we reviewed the onsite and offsite storm drain construction <br />plans and the offsite drainage reports (see references below). According to Reference 3 below, the most <br />restrictive downstream pipe has a capacity of 9.70 cubic feet per second. The peak runoff from the proposed <br />site plus the existing flow is 9.22 cubic feet per second. This uses 78 percent of the pipe's capacity. Therefore, <br />the existing storm system has capacity for the full 25-year, 24-hour event. <br />References: <br />1.
