U'l <br /> a r: Ar <br /> The Everett School District proposes to place six new portable classrooms and one new portable restroom <br /> within an existing playfield at Silver Lake Elementary. The portables will be accessed by a raised walkway <br /> through which rainfall and sunlight will be able to penetrate. Other improvements will be limited to utility <br /> connections to the temporary structures and minor clearing of the footprint of each temporary structure. The <br /> new portables will create approximately 5868 square feet of new impervious area. As such, stormwater <br /> impacts of the project must be addressed. This memorandum documents the project's compliance with the <br /> City of Everett's stormwater standards as defined in the City's 2010 Stormwater Management Manual <br /> (Stormwater Manual). <br /> Previous Studies <br /> A 2003 report (Targeted Drainage Report for Silver Lake Elementary Parking Lot Expansion, Perteet, 2003) <br /> examined the drainage patterns and facilities within the entire Silver Lake Elementary site(see attached). The <br /> associated project constructed a new parking lot in the northwest corner of the site and other paved areas <br /> within the site. The increase in runoff was mitigated by construction of stormwater facilities under the new <br /> parking lot. A subsequent modernization project was constructed in 2007 and included removal of some <br /> structures and additional building construction. A Schematic Design Narrative (Pace,2006)documented that <br /> the project caused a net reduction in impervious area and that new pollution generating areas were routed to <br /> an existing bioswale located north of where the current project proposed to install new portables. Both <br /> reports are attached to this memorandum. The 2003 report contains an offsite analysis and basin maps which <br /> are still applicable to the site. <br /> Design Approach <br /> Construction of the new portables will add a small amount of new impervious area, but will not add any new <br /> pollution generating surfaces. Therefore,water quality mitigation is not required. The new portable structures <br /> will be installed on an existing grassed play field which will remain as a grassed area. Immediately below each <br /> portable structure the manufacturer requires that topsoil be removed and replaced with a layer of gravel, <br /> matching the structure footprint.To mitigate the impacts of adding additional impervious surface to the site <br /> the roof drains will be routed to the gravel zone and allowed to infiltrate in much the same manner as does in <br /> the current condition. Water will be stored in the gravel zone below the structure and allowed to slowly <br /> infiltrate over time. This approach follows the intent of the low impact development methodology by <br /> retaining stormwater at the point of generation and providing an opportunity to infiltrate rather than <br /> collecting and routing to a single facility. The gravel depth will be increased to a nine inch minimum depth <br /> which will allow full infiltration in all storms up to the 100 year recurrence(see attached WWHM calculations.) <br /> The gravel layer will be specified as gravel backfill for drains to ensure that sufficient void space is available to <br /> store the runoff until it infiltrates.The following assumptions have been made in the design of this facility: <br /> Page 1 <br /> File location:X:\Everett Public Schools IProjects120150040-Silver Lake Elementary Portables\Design\Drainage\Silver Lake Elementary Drainage <br /> Memorandum-Everettdocx <br />
