Stormwater Technical Memorandum Perteet <br /> 2707 Colby Avenue,Suite 900,Everett,WA 98201 I P 425.252.7700 I F 425.339.6018 <br /> Infiltration Rate: 0.1 in/hr. Due to the small size of the project a full geotechnical investigation is not <br /> warranted. Recent projects in the vicinity of the site have identified this rate as a conservative rate for the <br /> Alderwood type soils found in the area.A further safety factor of 50%is applied to account for inconsistencies <br /> in the soils and other long term degradation of the infiltration capacity.A previously completed geotechnical <br /> report included a boring near where the portables will be placed. See attached excerpt. The boring indicates <br /> that the undisturbed, very dense till soil layer begins between 3 and 5 feet below the ground surface. No <br /> groundwater was encountered in the borings, but some mottling was observed. <br /> Overflow:The facility is designed to act similar to the existing condition and minimize construction impacts. <br /> Although the facility is designed to infiltrate all runoff from the new roof areas there may be conditions which <br /> will exceed the capacity of the facility due to either exceptionally intense rainfall or failure of the facility.In the <br /> event that the facility does exceed its design depth water will flow out of the top of the facility and disperse <br /> into the adjacent grass area on the downhill side.The adjacent ground slopes gently to the north and east as <br /> shown in the attached Figure 1. Overflow from the more southerly portable structures will be partially <br /> intercepted by the facilities below the more northern structures.The majority of the overflow which leaves the <br /> area around the portables will flow overland to an existing bioswale located near the property's northern <br /> boundary. <br /> Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> The project will involve only minimal ground disturbance and has a low risk of erosion. Only the ground <br /> immediately beneath the portables will be disturbed in order to remove vegetation and topsoil. Exposed soils <br /> will be covered with a layer of stormwater facility gravel within a few days of exposure, if not the same day. In <br /> addition, the construction will be limited to summer months as the portable structures must be installed <br /> during summer vacation when students are not present,and must be completed and ready for use for the next <br /> school year. There is therefore a lower risk of a significant rainfall event occurring while the ground is exposed. <br /> The project will expose much less than one acre of land, so erosion control measures must comply with the <br /> small parcel criteria listed in the Stormwater Manual. Table 1 summarizes the projects approach to <br /> compliance with the five elements associated with small parcel construction stormwater control. <br /> Table 1.Summary of Construction Stormwater Approach <br /> Criteria Project Approach <br /> Provision of Construction The work area is adjacent to a paved surface which the <br /> Access contractor will use for access. No additional access <br /> protection is warranted. <br /> Stabilize Denuded Areas Only the areas immediately below the portables will be <br /> disturbed. These areas will be stabilized with crushed <br /> aggregate surfacing <br /> Protection of Adjacent Construction will occur within the site and well away <br /> Properties from any adjacent properties. <br /> Maintenance of Erosion and No BMPs are proposed,so no maintenance other than <br /> Sediment Control BMPs good housekeeping is required. <br /> Implementation of Other If erosion problems do occur during the construction of <br /> BMPs as Determined by the the project,they will be addressed as appropriate in <br /> City of Everett. coordination with the City inspector. <br /> Page 2 <br /> File location: X\Everett Public Schools\Projects\20150040-Silver Lake Elementary Portables\Design\Drainage\Silver Lake Elementary Drainage <br /> Memorandum-Everettdocx <br />
