D. Groundwater Recharge: Although the hydrogeologist has determined that the existing <br />wetland has minimal groundwater recharge capability, proposed mitigation will consist of <br />the design of a perforated pipe bedded in free -draining material under the proposed Home <br />Base building to provide groundwater recharge with treated storm drainage runoff equal <br />to or exceeding existing conditions. (Please refer to the Wetlands Report by Wetland <br />Resources, Inc., for additional information.) <br />E. Wildlife Habitat Value: Off -site mitigation on the Spane site, located downstream in the <br />Wood Creek Basin, will provide enhanced wildlife habitat value to replace on -site wetlands <br />habitat value. <br />6.0 DETENTION/WATER QUALITY TREATMENT ANALYSIS <br />We have identified five major runoff sources that contribute drainage to the existing wetland. The five <br />runoff sources consist of: (1) the 16th Avenue S.E. right-of-way; (2) the Family Tree aparunent <br />complex; (3) the Interstate 5 corridor; (4) the Silver Lake Professional Center; and (5) the Home Base <br />site. Each of these sources will be described, including existing and proposed conditions, in the <br />following paragraphs. <br />16th Avenue S.E.: The 16th Avenue S.E. drainage system receives runoff from three areas in addition <br />to the area within the 16th Avenue S.E. right-of-way. The northwest cornet of the Costco property and <br />the 102nd Place S.E. Street improvements total 4 acres of recently developed area that is tributary to <br />16th Avenue S.E. Both areas contain detention and water quality treatment systems that are in <br />accordance with Wood Creek Basin standards. A third source of drainage to the 16th Avenue S.E. <br />right-of-way is the mini -storage warehouse and north half of 102nd Place S.E., located immediately <br />north of the Costco property. Drainage from these areas does not contain any detention or water quality <br />treatment prior to entering the 16th Avenue S.E. system. The north end of 16th Avenue S.E., adjacent <br />to 100th Street S.E., contains a detention pipe, which provides approximately 2,000 cubic feet of <br />storage. This storage is exclusively for the area within the 16th Avenue S.E. right-of-way and does not <br />include any upstream drainage, such as the mini -storage warehouse. <br />All of the drainage currently flowing through the 16th Avenue S.E. storm drainage system will be <br />directed into the off -site pond that is being reconstructed for water quality improvements. This pond <br />is currently the detention pond for the Family Tree apartment complex and is required to store <br />approximately 45,000 cubic feet of live volume. There is very little dead storage, approximately 6 <br />inches at the bottom of the pond in the existing conditions. <br />The live storage of this pond, as well as the live storage of the detention pipe located in 16th Avenue <br />S.E., will be replaced in their entirety by the reconstructed pond. The 16th Avenue S.E. detention pipe <br />will be abandoned in place in a dry condition, with each end plugged at existing catch basins. The 3.1 <br />total acres, including 16th Avenue S.E. and the mini -storage warehouse, previously did not receive any <br />water quality treatment. The rerouting of the 16th Avenue S.E. system into the Family Tree apartment <br />complex pond will provide both deep cell and wetland treatment cell water quality treatment for this <br />runoff. <br />Family Tree Apartment Complex: The second source of runoff to the wetland is from the 6.9-acre <br />parcel containing the Family Tree apartment complex. This runoff currently receives minimal treatment <br />from an under -designed biofiltration swale located in the upper end of the Family Tree apartment <br />complex detention pond. The reconstructed pond will provide water quality treatment in accordance <br />with the Wood Creek Basin standards in the City of Everett manual. Additional dead storage will be <br />provided in this pond to compensate for dead storage eliminated by filling of wetlands.
