3.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> Prior to Construction <br /> 1. Construction management plans must be reviewed and approved by the Directors of the Planning <br /> and Community Development Department and the Engineering and Public Services Department prior <br /> to the issuance of permits allowing construction of any facilities located within 50 feet of an <br /> environmentally sensitive area(steep slope, stream,wetland,landslide hazard area,etc.)and <br /> associated buffer. The construction management plan must include the following minimum <br /> measures: <br /> a. Specific erosion controls to be implemented prior to authorizing any construction activities which <br /> will impact an environmentally sensitive area as defined by the City's environmentally sensitive <br /> area regulations. <br /> b. For any facilities on or adjacent to erosion or landslide hazard areas,the construction <br /> management plan must address all mitigation measures identified in the geotechnical report <br /> approved by the Planning Director. <br /> c. Implementation of best management practices to control erosion both during and after <br /> construction, including compliance with the City of Everett's Design and Construction Standards <br /> and Specifications Manual and the Stormwater Management Manual. <br /> d. Construction schedule,status update reporting requirements,and contingency provisions to <br /> become effective if the schedule is not met. <br /> 2. Any water quality enhancement or detention facilities proposed near steep slopes will require <br /> detailed geotechnical analysis and design that documents and ensures their safety. <br /> 3. Prior to issuance of grading permits for removing earth from a site,the applicant must demonstrate <br /> that permits have been obtained for placement of the earth off-site. <br /> During Construction/Earthwork <br /> 4. All earthwork within a geologically hazardous area or its required buffer must be performed under the <br /> supervision of a professional civil or geotechnical engineer. The engineer must provide certification <br /> to the City that all work was done in compliance with requirements set forth in the City approved <br /> geotechnical report. <br /> •5. In order to minimize erosion during construction,all soil piles shall be covered with plastic sheeting or <br /> other impervious covering staked to the groupd or anchored with rocks or sandbags. Berms,earthen <br /> or otherwise, must be constructed at the perimeter of excavated areas to prevent adjacent site runoff <br /> from entering the excavations. <br /> 6 Temporary slopes within native glacial soils shall be limited to a maximum angle of 1/2 foot horizontal <br /> (H)to 1 foot vertical(V). Temporary slopes within fill soils shall be limited to a maximum angle of <br /> 1 H:1 V. Temporary slopes must be covered with an impermeable membrane,such as visqueen or <br /> mulch, in order to prevent precipitation from coming In contact with the soils. <br /> Permanent slopes steeper than 25%shall be designed by a professional civil or geotechnical <br /> engineer. The design should present appropriate erosion control measures which may include: <br /> hydroseeding,erosion control blankets, rip-rap,jute matting,and visqueen. <br /> 7. Grading/filling must not adversely affect the hydrology of streams and existing or created wetlands. <br /> 8. Grading/filling on-site shall not adversely affect adjoining sites. <br />
