V <br />RISK ASSESSMENT <br />RISK ASSESSMENT AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES <br />Drainage is tributary to Snohomish River. Due to the proximity to this water body, silt -laden runoff could exit the <br />site and enter downstream drainage courses if proper construction practices arc not followed. <br />In order to protect the downstream conditions from sediments, several erosion control Best Management Practices <br />(BMP's) from the DOE manual will be utilized. A temporary gravel construction entrance shall be used between <br />the road and development area, as necessary to knock mud off of tires on vehicles exiting the site. Additionally, <br />limiting earthwork and utility construction activities to dry weather conditions, minimizing area and duration of <br />soil exposure, construction of temporary storage basins and protective dikes to control storm runoff, and <br />stockpiling and sheathing of strippings, will further reduce the potential for silt -laden runoff. Interim measures to <br />be employed during construction will include the construction of sediment basins, the installation of silt fences <br />along the low side of areas to be cleared and graded, and mulching and hydroseeding of exposed soils after <br />attainment of final grade. Stockpiles will be covered with polyethylene sheathing. <br />1. Factors expected to create an erosion risk when developed: <br />• Exposure of soils during grading. <br />2. Location relative to critical areas: <br />• none. <br />3. Soil type: <br />• The surface soils are river dredge spoils. <br />4. Potential for slides or other ground movement: <br />• None <br />5. Sources of writer for erosion: <br />• Rainfall <br />G. Measures proposed to minimize and prevent erosion to the greatest extent possible for the <br />decelopntent: <br />• Preparation and implementation of an erosion and sedimentation plan which is sensitive to the soils, slopes, <br />and construction season <br />• Sedimentation trap <br />• Silt fencing <br />• Gravel construction entrance <br />7.
