MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Kirk Brooks <br />FROM: Jane Zimmerman <br />DATE: April 3, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: Southeast Marina Project, Plan Review <br />The Port is currently proposing to route the storm flow associated with the 6 month, <br />24-hour storm to the sanitary sewer, instead of providing on -site treatment of <br />stormwater. Before the plans can be approved with this concept, the following must <br />occur: <br />- an interlocal agreement must be signed by the City and the Port agreeing to <br />share in the cost of a predesign report to identify construction costs associated <br />with routing a specified stormwater flow to the sanitary sewer; <br />- after the predesign report is completed, a second interlocal agreement must be <br />drafted and signed by both the City and the Port agreeing to share the costs <br />associated with the upgrades. <br />In addition, I have the following concerns: <br />The information given for existing pipes and catch basins/manholes that would be <br />affected by the changes downstream do not appear to be consistent (please see plans for <br />specific structures, etc.) <br />With the proposed design, many linear feet of existing storm pipe will be permanently <br />full of water. The Port should be aware that sediment accumulation in these pipes may <br />necessitate more frequent cleaning. <br />Additional analysis regarding the possibility of river/tidal back-up into the sanitary <br />sewer creeds to be performed. How often does the river/tidal elevation exceed the 12 <br />foot elevation of the 24 inch connection between the new and existing manhole (a tide <br />line of 12.1 feet is noted on the plans)? Is there a tide gate on the existing outfall that <br />would prevent back-up into the sanitary sewer'? <br />
