This analysis does not cover any structure that the FAA determines may have a significant adverse affect on <br /> navigable airspace around Paine Field Airport. <br /> 8.5.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> 1. All communication lines must be installed underground. (SEPA Public Services and Land and Shoreline Use <br /> Policies) <br /> 8.6 PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES <br /> 8.6.1 Threshold <br /> The analysis in the Water System Plan projected the overall future peak-hour demand for the area at 2.7 gpm/acre <br /> (approximately 4,000 gpa/day peak flow), and assumed fire flow requirements of approximately 3,500 gpm for <br /> commercial and industrial/manufacturing uses. Based upon the proposed design of the water system,any <br /> development using more than 2.7 gpm/acre has the potential to affect water pressure on other sites. Additional <br /> analysis will be required for development proposals with a peak hour demand above 2.7 gpm/acre and/or a fire <br /> flow requirement of 3,500 gpm or greater. The additional analysis maybe as simple as calculations completed by <br /> the Public Works Department prior to a pre-application meeting on a specific development proposal. The <br /> additional analysis must determine how the proposal's water demand will affect the entire water supply and <br /> distribution system. Projects with no additional major improvements needed and no adverse cumulative impacts <br /> on the water supply and distribution system are covered by this analysis. <br /> The 2.7 gpm/acre is an overall average peak hour demand assumed for planning in large areas such as the study <br /> area. However,there will undoubtedly be site-specific proposals with larger demand. For example,large irrigation <br /> systems can exceed 50 gpm/acre demand. Other land uses with demands much lower than 2.7 gpm/acre,such as <br /> warehouses,are assumed to occur to offset the higher demand land uses,resulting in an overall area wide average <br /> of 2.7 gpm/acre. <br /> The impacts of construction of the new water line to service development west of Japanese Gulch were not <br /> covered in the EIS. Additional SEPA analysis is required to review alternative routes for the line which will <br /> minimize the impacts of the proposal. <br /> 8.6.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> 1. Looped water mains may be required for some sites to meet fire flow requirements and to protect water <br /> quality. Pressure reducing valves may be required when looped systems are constructed. (SEPA Public <br /> Services and Utilities Policies) <br /> 2. Developments must construct improvements necessary to provide a water pressure of 40-80 psi under normal <br /> operating conditions as required by Public Works. (SEPA Public Services and Utilities Policies) <br /> 8.7 SEWER <br /> 8.7.1 Threshold <br /> Capacity of the system is 1,700 gallons per gross acre per day, and 4,000 gallons per gross acre per day of <br /> instantaneous peak flow. <br /> 11 <br />
