I agree with your rnlighten�d approach. W� ne�d ro know these things. <br /> Jim <br /> From: lane 2immerman <br /> Sent: Thursday, Janua��21, 2010 6:54 AM <br /> To: Heather Kibbey; ]im Miller <br /> Subject: redevelopments <br /> Hello Neather and Jim— <br /> I just wanted to run something by you both and make sure you supp�rt something I'm doing in case the situation gets <br /> "elevated".... <br /> When I get a project to review that's a redevelopment of part of a larger parcel, I've been requiring tlie applicant to <br /> determine the connection points of any drainage structures that appear on surveys of the project area, but that we have <br /> no records of. I think this is important ro do in terms o(illicit connection determination (including stormwater <br /> discharges to the sanitary sewer)and also, for the ability to respond eftectively to a spill on the site. I think it's <br /> reasonable to require dye testing or camera work to figure out where something drains to. Or, if the applicant doesn't <br /> want to go to the trouble,to require replacement/re-plumbing/abandonment o(the structure so that il no longer <br /> receives runo(f and sends it to some unknown location. <br /> In this particular case,the Everett Mall is adding a restau•ant to the north portion of the site. A number of catch basins <br /> have been located within the project limits, with inlet and outlet pipe invert elevations and directions—but no <br /> determination of where tl�ose cbs drain to(the original development on the site is pre-1969�. Their response to my <br /> questions on particular structures has been that the connections cannot be visually located. If you agree with me, I'm <br /> going to take this to the next level and ask for dye testing or camera work or abandonment/re-plumbing/replacement of <br /> the st�uctures. However,the owners of the Everett Mall have a tendenty to think they're exempt from the rules we <br /> normally apply to others, so I may get resistante to my request.... <br /> Ought I just let this go? Or ought I persist7 <br /> Please I�t mc know what you think I oughter do. 1 wait humbly for direction from above. Thanks. <br /> lanc <br /> 4�1� � <br />
