, Pacific Topsoils Riverside site-Stortn Orainage Report <br /> GFKConsulting Ir�,. <br /> 2 INTRODUCTION <br /> The subject site is currently used as a processing area for clean wocd debris. This drainage <br /> investigation and design has been undertaken to pe►mit this activity with the City and the <br /> States NPDES program. The site is comprised of approximately 8 acres and is located at the <br /> north east comer of the City of Everett along the Snohomish River in the Riverside industrial <br /> park. Prior to its current use the site was used by Weyerhaeuser for wood treahnent and <br /> equipment maintenance. As a result, this site has been remediated to contain hazardous <br /> materials; a portion of the site has an asphalt cap, and a portion is capped with only a soil <br /> layer and is currently covere:d with grasses. <br /> The scope of the contamination and subsequent remediation adds constrai;�ts to the use, <br /> grading and drainage features considered. The Pacific Topsoils processing operation is <br /> conducted on the paved area, the meadow area is used for storage of non hazardous <br /> materials only. <br /> The two surface treatments create two sub basins within the site. Runoff from the paved area <br /> is collected within perimeter ditches along the south and east edges and is conveyed to the <br /> south east comer where it is then discharged directly into the Snohomish River. Rainfall <br /> falling onto the meadow area is observed to infiRrate into the ground as originally designed. <br /> As a result ttiis design will only cansider runoff f�om the paved area only, and since the <br /> Snohomish River is listed as a receiving water body, only a water quality feature will be <br /> engineered. <br /> Per the Snohomish County Soils Survey, the soils in this area are Urban land. Refer to the <br /> Soils Map in the Appendix. <br /> 3 OFFSITE RUNOFF <br /> North boundarv <br /> The project is bounded to the north by another industrial site that is generally at a lower <br /> elevation than the subject site. No runoff expected to enter the site from the north. <br /> West boundarv <br /> The land west of the site is railroad yard and pasture- it is flat and runoff appears to infiftrate <br /> into the ground like the pasture areas onsite. No runoff is expected to enter the site from the <br /> west. <br /> South and east boundarvs <br /> The project is bounded to the south and east by the Snohomish River. No runoff is expected <br /> to enter the site from the south or east. <br /> sno,zo,o a i I `� J <br /> C:\Project data\Project files\PTopsoits Rlverside site\ReportslRiverside4.doc -�/p� <br /> . <br />
