Minimum Requirement#8-Wetlands Protection <br /> This project is not proposing to discharge stormwater directly or indirectly in to a wetland, and therefore <br /> this requirement does not apply. <br /> Minimum Requirement#9-Operation and Maintenance <br /> An Operations and Maintenance plan of permanent stormwater control facilities has been prepared. See <br /> Section 8.7 of this report for additional detail. <br /> 2 SITE ASSESSMENT <br /> The following sections outline the existing conditions of the project site and surrounding areas. <br /> _ <br /> 2.1 TOPOGRAPHY <br /> This site slopes generally towards the northeast corner of the site. The Broadway Ave frontage is <br /> generally flat,while the 10t"St frontage slopes at an average grade of 6.5%towards the east. Site <br /> elevations range approximately 12 feet across the site. Due to the grade change, there are several <br /> retaining walls onsite. The access to the existing building from the alley connecting to 10`h St is at <br /> the lower level of the building,while access from Broadway Ave is to the upper level. <br /> The site has an unusually large setback of approximately 41 feet from the Broadway Ave roadway <br /> to the west property line. <br /> 2.2 EXISTING DRAINAGE <br /> Stormwater runoff from the roof is collected via downspouts, and runoff from the parking area <br /> and concrete walkways is collected by area drains and catch basins. The runoff is conveyed to a <br /> side sewer,which discharges to the existing 8" public combined sewer main in Broadway Ave. Any <br /> other surface runoff is assumed to sheet flow offsite. No detention structures are known. <br /> 2.3 Soi�s <br /> � A subsurface investigation and geotechnical evaluation was completed for this project by <br /> PanGEO, Inc. in November 2015. Three test borings were completed onsite, revealing 2.5-5.0 feet <br /> . of undocumented fill overlying very dense glacial till. It is recommended that permanent cut and <br /> fill slopes be constructed no steeper than 2H:1V. Although infiltration potential was not <br /> specifically evaluated during the subsurface explorations,the presence of very dense glacial till <br /> indicate that there is little potential for permanent infiltration for stormwater control. <br /> No groundwater was encountered during the subsurface exploration of the site. It is anticipated <br /> that any groundwater seepage rates will be minor. <br /> This site is located near the Everett Smelter Site/Asarco cleanup area. The Department of Ecology <br /> map of the cleanup area was reviewed, and confirmed that the site is outside the boundary of the <br /> cleanup area. However, sites that are outside of the boundary but near the cleanup area are more <br /> likely to have soils that contain arsenic and/or lead that exceed the cleanup level, particularly in <br /> EVCC STUDENT HOUSING-STORMWATER SITE PLAN-REVISED.DOCX 5 � <br />
