� Willows ApaRmenu <br /> Drainage Smdy <br /> 09/162009 <br /> DOWNSTREAM CONDITIONS <br /> � The proposed development site currently drains by sheet flow to the east down the public <br /> right of way of Melvin Avenue into the I-5 corridor. There is no public stom drain <br /> system currently available along the south edge of Melvin Avenue. A twenty-five foot <br /> � concrete sound suppression wall has been recently constructed along the I-5 ROW line. It <br /> appears that the wall, which was mounted on spaced pilings tather than a conventional <br /> full length footing, was constructed over the historical cobble filled drainage swale <br /> I joining the Melvin sub-basin into the I-5 drainage system. The pre-existence of the <br /> cobble filled drainage swale is indicated in the aerial photograph obtained from the <br /> Snohomish County property web site. M old downsueam drainage map, Figure 3,which <br /> + was obtained from the Everett project archives, indicates that the rock filled swale <br /> � connects to a storm CB located at the edge of the I-5 travel lanes. Fmm there, runoff <br /> � enters the piped public conveyance. This rock filled trench appears to be the sole <br /> downstream convey and provided for this sub-drainage area. Unfortunately, the <br /> WASHDOT plans do not ofticially document the conveyance or iYs capacity. However, <br /> I since all releases from the site will either be restricted within detention or infiltrated <br /> thtough the previous pavements, no new impacts on the downsueam are expected as a <br /> result of this project. <br /> � A Preliminary BiologicaUEcological Evaluation for the Willows at Melvin Place was <br /> prepazed by LFR on August 18, 2009. This report evaluated the pmposed site for <br /> environmental impacu to the downstream basin. The report concludes that rhe site is not <br /> Ihydrologically connected to the Snohomish River or it's tributaries. No sensitive species i <br /> or habitats were identified which would be impacted by this project. <br /> � tiPSTREAM CONDITIONS <br /> IUpstream to the west of the site there aze two residential parcels which share che comm�n <br /> access easement, which will serve as the driveway for the subject ptoject. The front <br /> ( properry contains the original SFR with roof drains to the lawn. The density of <br /> � impervious is considered minor with frequent storms absorbed into the lawn azea. Larger <br /> winter events can result in some sheet flows to the north and eas;. The reaz lot contains a <br /> small apartment building facing Broadway with a gravel pazking area in the reaz and <br /> I. sloping to the east. However, the roof drains undoubtedly aze directed to the public storm <br /> drain in Broadway. The pazking azea is collected into a local catch basin located in the <br /> � northeast lot corner of the lot. Pipes indicate that the stormwater is conveyed due west to <br /> the Broadway storm system. There is no indication that there will be a significant <br /> stormwater contribution from the upstream propeRies which will impact the proposed <br /> � project. Therefore, we do not expect to see any significant surface contributions from the <br /> south onto the development. However, the poten:ial for subsurface tlows does exist and <br /> absent a geotechnical report may need to be addressed in the footing drains. <br /> 1 <br /> � �� PROIECT:05812 <br /> I <br />
