shall so notify the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial 11
Completion Date. The Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of work that 12
remain to be completed in order to reach physical completion. The Engineer will 13
schedule an inspection of the work with the Contractor to determine the status of 14
completion. The Engineer may also establish the Substantial Completion Date 15
unilaterally. 16
17
If, after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the work is 18
substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to 19
the Contractor, will set the Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the 20
Engineer does not consider the work substantially complete and ready for its intended 21

Maturity Method Test Procedure 2
This test method provides a procedure for estimating concrete strength by means of the 3
maturity method. The maturity method is based on strength gain as a function of 4
temperature and time. This method is a modification of ASTM C1074 covering the 5
procedures for estimating concrete strength by means of the maturity method. 6
7
The maturity method consists of three steps: 8
9
Develop Strength-Maturity Relationship 10
Estimate in-place strength 11
Verify Strength-Maturity Relationship. 12
13
The Nurse-Saul “temperature-time factor (TTF)” maturity index shall be used in this test 14
method, with a datum temperature of 0 oC (32 oF). 15

Contractors Procedure to Develop Strength-Maturity Relationship 1
2
Step Action
1 For every concrete design that will be evaluated by the maturity
method, prepare a minimum of 21 cylinders in accordance with
FOP for AASHTO T 23. Additional cylinders should be cast to avoid
having to repeat the procedure. The mixture proportions and
constituents of the concrete shall be the same as those of the job
concrete whose strength will be estimated using this practice. The
minimum size of each batch shall be approximately 3 m3 (4 yd3). A
mobile mixer may be used for batching provided it is to be used on
the project. Calibration documentation shall be provided to the
Engineer prior to batching.
2 Fresh concrete testing for each batch shall include concrete
placement temperature, slump, and air content in accordance with
FOP for AASHTO T 309, FOP for AASHTO T 119, and FOP for
AASHTO T 152.
3 Embed loggers/sensors in at least two cylinders. Loggers/sensors
shall be placed 2-4 inches from any surface. Activate the
loggers/sensors.
4 Cure the cylinders in accordance with FOP for AASHTO T 23.
5 Perform compression strength tests in accordance with FOP for
AASHTO T 22 to target 2,500 psi for opening to traffic. In targeting
the opening to traffic requirement and to properly characterize and
validate the maturity calibration curve at least three target cylinder
breaks must be broken prior to 2,500 psi. Test three cylinders at
each age and compute the average strength. The cylinders with
loggers/sensors may be tested if additional cylinders are needed.
If a cylinder is obviously defective (for example, out of round, not
square, damaged due to handling), the cylinder shall be discarded.
If an individual cylinder strength is greater than 10 percent outside
the average of three cylinders, the cylinder can be considered
defective and be discarded. When two of the three cylinders are
defective, a new batch must be evaluated unless additional
acceptable cylinders are available.
6 At each test age, record the individual and average values of
maturity and strength for each batch on a permanent data sheet
7 Plot the average strengths as a function of the average maturity
values, with data points shown. Using a computer spreadsheet
program such as Microsoft Excel, calculate a point-to-point
interpolation through the data. The resulting curve is the strength-
maturity relationship to be used for estimating the strength of the
concrete mixture placed in the field.
When developing the SMR, the spreadsheet software allows the
Contractor to develop the corresponding maturity equation, which
defines the SMR. The Engineer should carefully examine the data
for “outliers”, faulty cylinder breaks, or faulty maturity readings.
The Engineer should use judgment to determine if certain points
should be discarded, or retested, or whether the entire SMR
should be regenerated.

Step Action
1 Prior to or at the time of concrete placement, install
loggers/sensors at the frequency specified. Loggers/sensors shall
be placed a minimum of 2 ft. from a panel edge 4 to 5 inches from
the panel surface. Loggers/sensors may be tied to reinforcing
steel, but should not be in direct contact with the reinforcing steel
or formwork.
2 As soon as practical after concrete placement, connect and
activate the maturity meter(s).
3 The Contractor shall provide to the Engineer, prior to opening the
pavement to traffic, encrypted data files (with software to read the
files) of the maturity data from the loggers/sensors. Data shall be
provided until the maturity is at a value that is equal to or greater
than the required strength for that concrete mixture, as determined
by the SMR. Additionally, data shall be provided on a record log.

Contractors Quality Control Procedure to Verify Strength-Maturity Relationship 4
5
Step Action
1 At the specified verification interval make three cylinders in
accordance with FOP for AASHTO T 23.
2 Embed a logger/sensor in one cylinder. Loggers/sensors shall be
placed 2-4 inches from any surface. Activate the logger/sensor as
soon as possible.
3 Cure the cylinders in accordance with FOP for AASHTO T 23.
4 Perform compression strength tests on all three of the cylinders in
accordance with FOP for AASHTO T 22 to verify strength and time
to reach 2,500 psi for opening to traffic. Compute the average
strength of the cylinders. If a cylinder is obviously defective (for
example, out of round, not square, damaged due to handling), the
cylinder shall be discarded. If any individual cylinder strength is
greater than 10 percent outside the average of three cylinders, that
cylinder will be considered defective and be discarded. When two
of the three cylinders are defective, the verification procedure will
have to be repeated starting at step 1.
5 Record on a permanent data sheet the maturity value at the time
of compression testing and individual and average strengths
established from the cylinder breaks. Also record the predicted
strength based on the SMR established for that particular concrete
design, and the percent difference between average and predicted
values. The SMR is verified when the predicted strength
established from the average SMR and the cylinder breaks are
within 10 percent. A copy of the data sheet and an encrypted file
for the maturity data shall be provided to the Engineer on a daily
basis.

charge for the water used for filling, testing, cleaning and disinfection of the water 1
mains. 2
3
Sections to be tested shall normally be limited to 1,500 feet or less. The Engineer 4
may require that the first section of pipe, not less than 1,000 feet in length, installed 5
by each of the Contractor’s crews, be tested in order to qualify the crew and the 6
materials. Pipe laying shall not be continued more than an additional 1,000 feet until 7
the first section has been tested successfully. 8
9
The pipeline shall be backfilled sufficiently to prevent movement of the pipe under 10
pressure. Thrust blocks shall be in place and time allowed for the concrete to cure 11
before testing. Where permanent blocking is not required, the Contractor shall furnish 12
and install temporary blocking and remove it after testing. 13
14
Before applying the specified test pressure, the water main shall be slowly filled and 15
air shall be expelled completely from the pipe, valves and hydrants. If permanent air 16
vents are not located at all high points, the contractor shall install corporation cocks 17
at such points so that the air can be expelled as the line is filled with water. After all 18
the air has been expelled, the corporation cocks shall be closed and the test pressure 19
applied. At the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks shall be 20
removed and plugged. 21
22
The Contractor shall perform a leakage test concurrently with the pressure test. The 23
pressure test shall be conducted for a 2-hour period. 24
25
The test shall be accomplished by pumping the main up to the required pressure, 26
stopping the pump for 2 hours, and then pumping the main up to the test pressure 27
again. During the test, the section being tested shall be observed to detect any visible 28
leakage. 29
30
A clean container shall be used for holding water for pumping up pressure on the 31
main being tested. This makeup water shall be sterilized by the addition of chlorine 32
to a concentration of 50 mg/l. 33
34
The acceptability of the pressure test and leakage test will be determined by two 35
factors as follows: 36
37
1. The loss in pressure shall not exceed 5 psi during the 2-hour test period. 38
2. The quantity of water lost from the main and appurtenances shall not exceed the 39
number of gallons during the 2-hour test period as listed in the following table. 40

where: 11
L = Allowable leakage in gallons/hour 12
S = Gross length of pipe tested, feet 13
D = Nominal diameter of the pipe in inches 14
P = Test pressure during the leakage test in psi 15
16
The quantity of water required to restore the pressure shall be accurately determined 17
by either 1) pumping from an open container of suitable size such that accurate 18
volume measurements can be made by the Engineer or, 2) by pumping through a 19
positive displacement water meter with a sweep unit hand registering one (1) gallon 20
per revolution. The meter shall be approved by the Engineer. 21
22
Pressure gauges used in the test shall be accompanied with certifications of 23
accuracy from a testing Laboratory approved by the Engineer. 24
25
Any visible leakage detected shall be corrected by the Contractor regardless of the 26
allowable leakage specified above. Should the tested section fail to meet the 27
pressure test successfully as specified, the Contractor shall, at no additional expense 28
to the Contracting Agency, locate and repair the defects and then retest the pipeline. 29
30
All tests shall be made with the hydrant auxiliary gate valves open and pressure 31
against the hydrant inlet valve. After the test is completed, each valve shall be tested 32
by closing each in turn and relieving the pressure beyond. This test of the valve will 33
be acceptable if there is no immediate loss of pressure on the gauge when the 34
pressure comes against the valve being checked. The Contractor shall verify that the 35
pressure differential across the valve does not exceed the rated working pressure of 36
the valve. 37
38
Prior to calling out the Engineer to witness the pressure test, the Contractor shall 39
have all equipment set up completely ready for operation and shall have successfully 40
performed the test to ensure that the pipe is in satisfactory condition. 41

reflectivity is averaged over many readings. Minimum Retro reflectivity results represent 31
average performance for smooth pavement surfaces. Values represent both standard and 32
"S" Series elements. Results may vary due to differences in pavement type and surface 33
roughness. Increased element drop rate may be necessary to compensate for increased 34
surface area characteristic of rough pavement surfaces. The initial retro reflectance of a 35
single installation shall be the average value determined by the measurement procedures 36
outlined in ASTM E 1710, using a 30-meter (98.4 feet) retro-reflectometer. RL shall be 37

2.3.PURELY SYNTHETIC BLANKETS ARE ALLOWED, BUT SHALL ONLY BE USED FOR LONG-TERM STABILIZATION OF WATERWAYS. THE ORGANIC BLANKETS ARE BETTER FOR
SLOPE PROTECTION AND SHORT-TERM WATERWAY PROTECTION BECAUSE THEY RETAIN AND PROVIDE ORGANIC MATTER TO THE SOIL, SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVING THE
SPEED AND SUCCESS OF RE-VEGETATION.
2.4.DO NOT STRETCH BLANKETS/MATTINGS TIGHT - ALLOW THE ROLLS TO MOLD TO ANY IRREGULARITIES.
2.5.SLOPE SURFACE SHALL BE SMOOTH BEFORE PLACEMENT FOR PROPER SOIL CONTACT.

2.8.FOR SLOPES LESS THAN 3H:1V, ROLLS MAY BE PLACED IN HORIZONTAL STRIPS.
2.9.LIME, FERTILIZE, AND SEED BEFORE INSTALLATION. PLANTING OF SHRUBS, TREES, ETC. SHOULD OCCUR AFTER INSTALLATION.
3.MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
3.1.GOOD CONTACT WITH THE GROUND MUST BE MAINTAINED, AND THERE MUST NOT BE EROSION BENEATH THE NET OR BLANKET.
3.2.AREAS OF THE NET OR BLANKET THAT ARE DAMAGED OR NOT IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND SHALL BE REPAIRED AND STAPLED.

1.CONDITIONS OF USE
1.1.SILT FENCE MAY BE USED DOWNSLOPE OF ALL DISTURBED AREAS.
1.2.SILT FENCE IS NOT INTENDED TO TREAT CONCENTRATED FLOWS, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO TREAT SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF OVERLAND FLOW. ANY CONCENTRATED
FLOW MUST BE CONVEYED THROUGH THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR POND.
2.DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
2.1.THE GEOTEXTILE USED MUST MEET THE STANDARD LISTED BELLOW. A COPY OF THE MANUFACTURER'S FABRIC SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE AVAILABLE ON SITE.
2.2.STANDARD STRENGTH FABRIC REQUIRES WIRE BACKING TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE FENCE. WIRE BACKING OR CLOSER POST SPACING MAY BE REQUIRED
FOR EXTRA STRENGTH FABRIC IF FIELD PERFORMANCE WARRANTS A STRONGER FENCE.
2.3.WHERE THE FENCE IS INSTALLED, THE SLOPE SHALL NOT BE STEEPER THAN 2H:1V
2.4.IF A TYPICAL SILT FENCE IS USED, THE STANDARD 4"X4" TRENCH MAY BE REDUCED AS LONG AS THE BOTTOM 8 INCHES OF THE SILT FENCE FABRIC IS WELL BURIED AND
SECURE IN A TRENCH THAT STABILIZES THE FENCE AND DOES NOT ALLOW WATER TO BYPASS OR UNDERMINE THE SILT FENCE.
2.5.FILTER FABRIC FENCES SHALL BE INSTALLED ALONG CONTOURS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
3.MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
3.1.ANY DAMAGE SHALL BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.
3.2.IF CONCENTRATED FLOWS ARE EVIDENT UPHILL OF THE FENCE, THEY MUST BE INTERCEPTED AND CONVEYED TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR POND.
3.3.IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE UPHILL SIDE OF THE FENCE FOR SIGNS OF THE FENCE CLOGGING AND ACTING AS A BARRIER TO FLOW AND THEN CAUSING
CHANNELIZATION OF FLOWS PARALLEL TO THE FENCE. IF THIS OCCURS, REPLACE THE FENCE OR REMOVE THE TRAPPED SEDIMENT.
3.4.SEDIMENT MUST BE REMOVED WHEN SEDIMENT IS 6 INCHES HIGH.
3.5.IF THE FILTER FABRIC (GEOTEXTILE) HAS DETERIORATED DUE TO ULTRAVIOLET BREAKDOWN, IT SHALL BE REPLACED.

of the DWS is permitted .
2. Permanent Detectable Warning Surfaces (DWS) shall be placed on a minimum 4" (in)
thick concrete pad. The DWS panel shall be placed adjacent to the back of the curb and
with no more than a 2" (in) gap between the DWS and the back of the curb measured at
the center of the DWS panel. Exception : If the Manufacturer of the selected DWS requires
a concrete border around the DWS, a variance of up to 2" (in) from the back of the curb is
permitted (measured at the leading corners of the DWS panel).
3. The rows of truncated domes shall be aligned to be parallel to the direction of travel,
and perpendicular to the grade break at the back of curb.
4. If curb and gutter are not present, such as a shared-use path connection, the Detectable
Warning Surface shall be placed at the pavement edge.
5. See Standard Plans for sidewalk and curb ramp details.
6. If a curb ramp is required, the location of the Detectable Warning Surface must be at
the bottom of the ramp and within the required distance from the rail crossing .
7. When the grade break between the curb ramp and the landing is less than or equal to
5 ft . from the back of curb at all points, place the Detectable Warning Surface on the
bottom of the curb ramp directly above the grade break.

1. See Standard Plan J-28.40 for Luminaire Pole base mounting details.
2. The Strap Templates shall be held in place by nuts, 6" (in) from the top of the foundation
and 3" (in) from the bottom of the anchor bolts. Eighteen heavy duty hex nuts and six
round washers are required for a slip base assembly. Eighteen heavy duty hex nuts and
six plate washers are required for a fixed base assembly.
3. Use Steel Light Standard Foundation Type A on level ground or slopes not exceeding
4H : 1V. Use Type B for slopes steeper than 4H : 1V, but not exceeding 2H : 1V.
Slopes steeper than 2H : 1V shall require a special design.
4. These foundations are designed for a minimum of 2000 PSF (TYPE A) or 1500 PSF
(TYPE B) allowable lateral bearing pressure for the soil. A special foundation shall be
required for soil with allowable lateral bearing pressure lower than 1500 PSF.
5. The Luminaire Pole height shall not exceed 50' (ft) (H1 ).
6. Slip bases shall not be installed on 50' (ft) (H1) poles with Double Mast Arms, nor on
poles weighing more than 1 000 lbs.
7. Slip bases are required on poles installed inside the Design Clear Zone, and on poles
installed behind traffic barrier that are within the traffic barrier deflection zone.
8. Foundations constructed within Media Filter Drains shall be increased in depth by
the depth of the Media Filter Drain.
9. Exposed portions of the foundation shall be formed to create a Class 2 surface finish.
All forming shall be removed upon completion of foundation construction.
10. For excavation, concrete placement, and backfill options, see METHOD 1 and
METHOD 2 on Sheet 2 of 2.
11. The anchor bolts shall be high-strength steel, manufactured from ASTM F1554 Grade
1 05, with heavy hex nuts and hardened washers. Galvanize the anchor bolts according
to ASTM F2329.
12. The foundation shall be grounded in accordance with the requirements of
Standard Specification 8-20.3(4).

PARK AVENUE N EXTENSION
RENTON, WASHINGTON
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
This report summarizes the results of the geotechnical engineering study performed by
HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) for the proposed Park Avenue N Extension Project in Renton,
Washington. Figure 1, Site Vicinity Map, and Figure 2, Site and Exploration Plan, show the
approximate location of the project alignment just north of Logan Avenue N and Park Avenue N.
Our field work included drilling five (5) machine-drilled borings. Appropriate laboratory tests
were conducted on selected soil samples to determine relevant engineering properties of the
subsurface soils. Engineering analyses were conducted to develop recommendations for
proposed retaining walls, signal pole foundations, luminaire foundations, railroad crossing arm
foundations, stormwater facilities and launching and receiving pits for sanitary sewer extension.
1.2 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the City of Renton would like to implement street improvements to
accommodate the Landing and the Southport residential and office development. The
improvements would extend Park Avenue North to provide access to Southport, Puget Sound
Energy (PSE) property, and The Boeing Company. Water main extensions may also be
implemented to tie the proposed development into existing systems. The improvements will
include increasing the grade along the proposed roadway; curb, gutter and pedestrian facility;
illumination, landscaping, irrigation, storm drainage and water quality treatment, and intersection
and signal system improvements.
1.3 SURFACE CONDITIONS
The Park Avenue N alignment runs north-northwest to south-southeast and is predominantly flat
at an elevation of about 28 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). It extends from the intersection
with Logan Avenue North, where Park Avenue N turns into 757th Avenue on Boeing’s right of
way to the BNSF railway to the north. The existing railroad tracks cross the alignment and are
elevated on a mound of railroad ballast with an elevation of about 32 feet AMSL. The PSE
property is at an elevation of approximately 24 feet AMSL. The existing roadway is surfaced
with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement except at the intersection with Logan Avenue North and
pedestrian crossings which are surfaced with concrete. Development along the alignment
consists of heavy-industrial, residential and commercial properties. A PSE-owned electrical
substation is located to the northeast of the intersection on Boeing property.

2. FIELD INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 GEOTECHNICAL SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
Our geotechnical exploration program included surface reconnaissance of the alignment and
drilling five (5) machine-drilled borings, designated BH-1 through BH-5. Boring locations were
determined based on the locations of proposed improvements and are indicated on the Site and
Exploration Plan, Figure 2.
Three of these borings (BH-1, BH-2, and BH-3) were drilled by Geologic Drilling, Inc. of
Bellevue, Washington, under subcontract to HWA. The remaining two borings (BH-4 and
BH-5) were drilled by Holocene Drilling of Puyallup, Washington, under subcontract to HWA.
Logs for borings BH-1 through BH-5 are presented in Appendix A of this report.
In each boring, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling was performed at selected intervals
and the SPT resistance (“N-value”) of the soil was logged. This resistance, or N-value, provides
an indication of relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of cohesive soils.
A geotechnical engineer from HWA logged the explorations and recorded pertinent information,
including sample depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and ground water
occurrence. Soil samples obtained from the explorations were classified in the field and
representative portions were placed in plastic bags. These soil samples were then taken to our
Bothell, Washington, laboratory for further examination and testing.
The stratigraphic contacts shown on the exploration logs represent the approximate boundaries
between soil types; actual transitions may be more gradual. The soil and ground water
conditions depicted are only for the specific date and location reported and, therefore, are not
necessarily representative of other locations and times.
2.2 GROUND WATER PUMPING TESTS
HWA completed ground water pumping tests at the two ground water monitoring wells (BH-4
and BH-5). Data collected from short-term pumping tests and grain size laboratory test results
on selected soil samples were used along with applicable analytical methods to estimate
hydraulic conductivity values for the subsurface soils within the project alignment. The
hydraulic conductivity values are meant to be used to estimate the range of dewatering flowrates
for anticipated dewatering activities associated with construction of the proposed improvements.
2.3 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were conducted at HWA’s Bothell, Washington laboratory, on selected samples
retrieved from the borings to determine relevant index and engineering properties of the soils
encountered at the site. The tests included visual classifications, natural moisture content,
Atterberg Limits and grain size distribution. The tests were conducted in general accordance
with appropriate American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The test results

and a discussion of laboratory test methodology are presented in Appendix B, and/or displayed
on the exploration logs in Appendix A, as appropriate.
3. SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 GENERAL GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The project alignment is located within the Puget Lowland. The Puget Lowland has repeatedly
been occupied by a portion of the continental glaciers that developed during the ice ages of the
Quaternary period. During at least four periods, portions of the ice sheet advanced south from
British Columbia into the lowlands of Western Washington. The southern extent of these glacial
advances was near Olympia, Washington. Each major advance included numerous local
advances and retreats, and each advance and retreat resulted in its own sequence of erosion and
deposition of glacial lacustrine, outwash, till, and drift deposits. Between and following these
glacial advances, sediments from the Olympic and Cascade Mountains accumulated in the Puget
Lowland.
According to the Geologic Map of King County, the project alignment is underlain by Holocene
aged fill soils which are noted as being undocumented and may consist of a wide range of
materials. This unit is shown to be underlain by Quaternary alluvium soils consisting of
unconsolidated alluvial clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobbles.
3.2 SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS
The soils encountered in our explorations consist of topsoil, fill material, and alluvial deposits.
Multiple layers of alluvial material were noted alternating between silty sand and silt units.
Further descriptions of soils encountered in our explorations are presented below in order of
deposition, beginning with the most recently deposited. A general cross section along the project
alignment is shown in Figure 3. The exploration logs in Appendix A provide more detail of
subsurface conditions observed at specific locations and depths.
• Topsoil: Topsoil was encountered in borings BH-1 and BH-2. This material was dark
olive-brown and consisted of silty sand with rootlets. The topsoil layer extended from
ground surface to a depth of approximately 1 foot below ground surface (bgs).
• Fill: Fill was encountered in borings BH-1, BH-2, BH-3, and BH-5. In BH-1 and BH-2,
the fill extended from the base of the topsoil to a depth of approximately 7 feet bgs. In
BH-3 and BH-5, the fill extended from the base of the pavement section to a depth of
approximately 7 feet bgs. The fill material was dark yellow-brown to olive-gray and
consisted of silty sand with gravel. Fill soils were likely placed during construction of
the original roadway.
• Alluvium: Alluvium was encountered in all five borings extending beneath the fill soils,
where present, to the final depth of each boring. These soil deposits consisted of olive-
gray to grayish-brown, very soft to stiff silts, and very loose to medium dense silty sands.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 4 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
Alluvial deposits are often deposited as fan structures that decrease in grain size from the
source stream and overlap with multiple depositional generations resulting in
interbedding.
3.3 GROUND WATER CONDITIONS
Ground water seepage was observed in each boring. The depth to ground water was about 5 feet
bgs in BH-2, BH-3 and BH-4, about 8 feet bgs in BH-5, and about 12 feet bgs in BH-1. This
seepage was observed within both the fill soils and alluvial deposits.
Ground water monitoring wells were installed at the location of borings BH-4 and BH-5.
Ground water monitoring transducers were installed in each well to monitor ground water
fluctuations over time at each location. Plots of ground water data collected between
December 26th, 2018 and April 29th, 2020 are presented in Figures 4A and 4B for borings BH-4
and BH-5, respectively. At the client’s request, the ground water monitoring program was
abandoned on April 29th, 2020 and the transducers were retrieved from both monitoring wells.
Based on our scope of work, the monitoring wells will be decommissioned by the Contractor
during construction.
Short term, single well, pumping tests were conducted at BH-4 and BH-5 using a 12-volt
electrical submersible pump. Response to pumping, and recovery after pumping, were measured
using datalogging pressure transducers. BH-4 was pumped at a rate of 0.32 gallons per minute
(gpm) for 30 minutes and exhibited a maximum of 0.4 feet drawdown. BH-5 was pumped at a
rate of 1.7 gpm for 40 minutes and exhibited a maximum of 1.4 feet drawdown. Results of these
pumping tests are provided in Figures 8 and 9 for borings BH-4 and BH-5, respectively.
Prospective Contractors should be prepared to encounter and manage seasonally varying ground
water conditions and in response to significant precipitation events that may develop above the
low permeability silt layers encountered in the alluvial deposits. Increase in volume of ground
water should be expected wherever excavations bisect existing utility trenches. Existing utility
trench backfill is expected to be significantly more permeable than the fine-grained alluvial
deposits. Therefore, perched ground water may collect and flow along the alignment of existing
utility trenches.
4. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 GENERAL
The subsurface soils along the alignment generally consist of fill underlain by alluvial deposits.
The compressible layers of organic rich soils were encountered and are anticipated to be
interbedded with the alluvial soils. These deposits are anticipated to undergo consolidation
settlement upon the application of load and are likely liquefaction susceptible when saturated and
placed under the influence of the design earthquake. The nature of the alluvial soils is such that
construction of the roadway embankment is expected to result in settlement. The magnitudes of
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 5 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
settlement and possible mitigation measures to reduce settlements are provided in the report
below. However, we understand that the city has chosen to construct the roadway embankment
with conventional construction practices and address settlement affects as they occur. Therefore,
no settlement mitigation will be implemented.
The subsurface soils along the project alignment consist of fill and alluvial soils with varying
amounts of fines. The seasonal high ground water appears to be as high as 3.5 to 4 feet below
ground surface in some areas. The site history is such that contaminated soils could be present
across portions or all of the project alignment. Based on the high ground water levels and the
potential for existing contaminated soils, we do not recommend the use of onsite infiltration as a
means of stormwater management for this site.
We understand that the project may potentially require installation of a steel casing for future
water main expansions across the BNSF railroad right-of-way.
It is our understanding that proposed improvements will require construction of retaining walls
within the project alignment, possibly including the area near the potential trestle undercrossing.
The walls are proposed to be constructed as modular block and structural earth retaining walls.
Although we did not conduct any geotechnical borings in the area near the potential trestle
undercrossing, it is our assumption that similar soil conditions, as observed in boring BH-3, exist
near the potential structural earth wall as they do at the modular block wall. The subgrade soil
conditions in the vicinity of these walls appear to be adequate to provide support for the walls.
However, some scarifying and re-compaction of the disturbed medium dense to dense near-
surface fill materials will be required and if soft spots are encountered additional remedial
measures may be required.
We understand that proposed improvements include installation of luminaire structures and
signal poles. The subgrade soils along the alignment, including the area near the trestle
undercrossing, are such that nonstandard foundation design for lateral bearing capacity of the
associated foundations is anticipated at all proposed locations.
4.2 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
4.2.1 Seismic Design Parameters
Earthquake loading for the proposed improvements was developed in accordance with
Section 3.4 of the AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Bridge Design, 2nd Edition, 2011
(AASHTO, 2011 with 2012, 2014 and 2015 Interim Revisions) and the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) amendments to the AASHTO Guide Specifications
provided in the Bridge Design Manual (WSDOT, 2017). For seismic analysis, the Site Class is
required to be established and is determined based on the average soil properties in the upper 100
feet below the ground surface. Based on our characterization of the subsurface conditions, the
site class designation has been determined based on the principle that the consistency of the soils
below the maximum depth of the borings are consistent or denser than the soil within the 61½ feet

of depth explored. For this project, SPT blow counts obtained from our borings were utilized to
classify the subject site as Seismic Site Class D. Therefore, Site Class D should be used with
AASHTO seismic evaluations for this project. Table 1 presents recommended seismic
coefficients for use with the General Procedure described in AASHTO (2011), which is based
upon a design event with a 7 percent probability of exceedance in 75 years (equal to a return
period of 1,033 years).

Based on the above parameters the Peak Ground Acceleration, PGA (As) for Site Class D at the
project site is 0.506 g.
4.2.2 Soil Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a temporary loss of soil shear strength due to earthquake shaking. Loose,
saturated cohesionless soils are the most susceptible to earthquake-induced liquefaction;
however, recent experience and research has shown that certain silts and low-plasticity clays are
also susceptible. Primary factors controlling the development of liquefaction include the
intensity and duration of strong ground motions, the characteristics of subsurface soils, in-situ
stress conditions and the depth to ground water. Based on the WSDOT Geotechnical Design
Manual (GDM), the liquefaction susceptibility of the soils along the project alignment was
determined utilizing the simplified procedure originally developed by Seed and Idriss (1971),
updated by Youd et al (2001) and Idriss and Boulanger (2004, 2006).
The simplified procedure is a semi-empirical approach which compares the cyclic resistance
ratio (CRR) required to initiate liquefaction of the material to the cyclic shear stress ratio (CSR)
induced by the design earthquake. The factor of safety relative to liquefaction is the ratio of the
CRR to the CSR; where this ratio is computed to be less than one, the analysis would indicate
that liquefaction is likely to occur during the design earthquake. The CRR is primarily
dependent on soil density, with the current practice being to base it on the Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) N-value, corrected for energy consideration, fines content and earthquake magnitude.
CSR is generally determined by the formulation developed by Seed and Idriss (1971) and relates
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 7 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
equivalent shear stress caused in the soil at any depth to the effective stress at that depth and the
peak ground acceleration at the surface.
Ground water elevations were approximately 5 feet bgs at the site. Our explorations encountered
fill soils underlain by interbedded alluvial sands, alluvial silts, and organic silts across the site.
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered at the site, the potential for liquefaction is
considered to be high during a seismic event due to very shallow ground water and loose
liquefaction susceptible soils.
Liquefaction analysis was completed utilizing LiquefyPro v5.9a. Results of our studies indicate that
most of the encountered alluvial soils beneath the approximate 7 feet of fill soils would liquefy
under a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.96 with a PGAm of 0.506g.
Our analyses indicate that the loose to medium dense saturated fill and alluvial soil deposits,
encountered below the project alignment, will liquefy during the 1,033-year design earthquake.
As the alluvial soils extend past the termination depth of our geotechnical borings, we expect that
potentially liquefiable soils will extend to great depths below the alignment, assuming the layers
are fully saturated.
4.2.3 Liquefaction-Induced Settlement
Unsaturated loose sand deposits tend to densify when they are subject to earthquake shaking.
For saturated sand deposits, excess pore water pressure builds up during the earthquake
excitation, leading to loss of strength or liquefaction. After the shaking stops, excess pore water
pressures dissipate toward a zone where water pressure is relatively lower, usually the ground
surface. The dissipation is accompanied by a reconsolidation of the loose sand (Ishihara and
Yoshimine, 1992 & Tokimatsu and Seed, 1987). The reconsolidation is manifested at the ground
surface as vertical settlement, usually termed as liquefaction-induced settlement or seismic
settlement.
The potential for liquefaction-induced settlement was evaluated at the railroad crossing. The
methodologies used were developed by Idriss and Boulanger (2008) and are generally based on
the relationship between cyclic stress ratio, corrected SPT blow counts, and volumetric strain.
Using these methods, liquefaction-induced settlement at the railroad crossing was estimated to be
between 7 to 12 inches. We expect that the liquefaction-induced settlement will be differential in
nature between the approaches on either side and the railroad crossing. The proposed railroad
crossing should be designed to be able to handle these liquefaction-induced settlements and
associated differential settlements between the crossing and the adjacent road approaches on
either side. Some proposed improvements may require reconstruction as a result of liquefaction
induced settlements. Based on our analysis of liquefaction within observed soils in the borings,
we calculate that up to 14 inches of total liquefaction induced settlement may occur at this site.
Differential settlements are difficult to determine but are anticipated to be as high as 7 inches
over a 50-foot span.

4.2.4 Post Liquefaction Residual Shear Strength
Upon initiation of liquefaction and the completion of earthquake shaking, the shear strength of
the liquefiable soils may reduce to a residual shear strength. Residual shear strengths for the
liquefiable soils encountered within the project alignment were determined using a weighted
average of the results of the Seed (1987), Seed and Harder (1990), Olson and Stark (2002), Idriss
and Boulanger (2007) and Kramer (2008) relationships. The residual shear strengths assigned
are a function of the equivalent clean sand SPT value, (N1)60cs, the potential for void
redistribution, and the initial effective overburden stress. Given the permeable nature of the
overlying fill soils, we assumed void redistribution effects we be negligible when determining an
estimate of residual shear strength. Post liquefaction residual shear strengths were used to
evaluate retaining wall stability and non-standard signal pole foundations

It is our understanding that the proposed improvements will include raising the site grades to
facilitate the proposed railroad crossing. These grade increases will result in increased load
applied to the subsurface soils. As compressible soils are present across the site, we expect that
proposed grade increases will result in consolidation settlements.
Consolidation settlement results from the application of static loading on compressible soil
deposits that are saturated and have not previously experienced similar loading conditions.
Consolidation settlement occurs as both primary consolidation (short term consolidation) and
secondary consolidation (long term consolidation). Both of these mechanisms are described
below.
Primary consolidation occurs immediately upon the application of load and is a result of pore
water being expelled from the void space within the soil unit. As load is applied, the pore water
pressure increases within the soil unit and slowly decreases as the pore water is expelled from the
soil. As this process continues, the void space is reduced and the volume of the soil deposit
decreases. This decrease in the volume results in a reduction in the thickness of the soil unit
which manifests as settlement at the ground surface. The magnitude of primary consolidation is
dependent on the geometry of the compressible soil unit, with respect to the applied load, and the
compressibility properties of the subject soil.
Secondary compression is a settlement phenomenon that occurs in soil deposits upon completion
of the primary consolidation stage and can continue for many years. The magnitude of the
secondary compression settlement is difficult to predict but is typically a small fraction (5 to
10%) of the settlement that occurs as primary consolidation for most mineral soils.
Our primary settlement estimates are based on the results of Atterberg limit correlations for soils
in which undisturbed samples were not obtained. A tabulation of primary consolidation
properties for the underlying compressible soils is provided in Table 2.

Geotechnical Report 9 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
We evaluated the anticipated consolidation settlements across the site based on the assumption
that proposed fill area was constructed with conventional fill soils. The results of this analysis
indicate that the use of conventional fill, to construct the proposed improvements, would result in
settlement of both the proposed roadway and the existing railroad tracks. The settlement would
be largest on the west side of the tracks, where the fill thickness is greatest. Static (non-seismic)
settlements as great as 2 inches could occur along the railroad tracks due to construction of the
roadway in this manner. Figure 5 shows anticipated primary settlement magnitudes across the
site with call outs along the centerline of the road and along the centerline of the railroad tracks.
It should be noted that secondary static settlement, roughly equal to 10 percent of the primary
settlements shown in Figure 5, should also be expected. Constructing the proposed roadway
with conventional fill would result in a localized sag in the rail line and likely require increased
pavement maintenance. Several settlement mitigation options are available.
4.4 SETTLEMENT MITIGATION OPTIONS
The magnitude of anticipated primary and secondary settlement associated with the proposed site
grading is sufficient to induce damage to the proposed improvements and existing railroad
tracks. Therefore, we recommend settlement mitigation be considered as a possible component
of the project.
There are several settlement mitigation measures that could be implemented to reduce or
eliminate potential settlements associated with the compressible soils below the site. These

Geotechnical Report 10 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
mitigation options include over-excavation and replacement, lightweight fill, preloading and pile
supporting improvements. A description of each of these proposed options is provided below.
4.4.1 Over-Excavation and Replacement with Structural Fill
Where compressible soils are located near the ground surface, over-excavation and replacement
with compacted structural fill could be implemented to eliminate the potential of future
settlements. However, subsurface investigations indicate that compressible soils were observed
to extend to great depths across the site. Therefore, over-excavation and replacement would
require very deep exactions that would require significant shoring. Additionally, the ground
water level along the project site is such that over-excavation and replacement would most likely
require dewatering. Due to the anticipated cost of over-excavation and replacement, we do not
believe that it is a viable settlement mitigation option for the entire project area.
4.4.2 Preloading
Preloading the road site would also be a viable way to reduce future settlements of the
underlying compressible soils. Preloading involves placing a specified amount of soil or weight
over a given area and allowing the weight to consolidate the underlying compressible soils prior
to construction of the proposed improvements. Preloading has been used successfully on similar
projects in the past. However, the viability of preloading requires time and space. We would
expect the silt to take between 6 to 12 months to complete primary settlement using
approximately 150 cubic yards of preload material. Therefore, the preload would need to be in
place for at least 6 months to 1 year in order to successfully eliminate future settlements. This
material would be placed 8 to 10 feet in height and would cover an area of approximately 400
square feet (20-foot by 20-foot) on both sides of the tracks. We would expect that the placement
of a preload would cause significant disruptions to Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and Boeing
operations due to its required size and location. Additionally, preloading would require the
existing utilities to be diverted during the preload operation to prevent damage. Preloading
would also result in a significant sag in the BNSF tracks. Based on the time requirements, the
anticipated disruption, damage to the BNSF tracks, necessity to relocate the utilities during
preloading, we do not believe that preloading the compressible soils is a viable option for this
project.
4.4.3 Lightweight Backfill
Lightweight fill material could be used to offset the load of proposed fill in order to eliminate the
application of additional load on the underlying compressible soils. Several lightweight fill
materials are available and have been used on past projects with success. These materials
include Geofoam, bottom ash, light weight volcanic rock, glass cutlet and lightweight cellular
concrete.
Geofoam consists of proprietary light weight Styrofoam blocks that are readily available to
Contractors and have been used successfully on numerous road projects. Geofoam can be
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 11 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
obtained in a variety of unit weights. However, geofoam requires encapsulation in a sealed
geomembrane to protect against degradation due to exposure to hydrocarbons. Additionally,
geofoam would require the construction of a load distribution slab to allow for traffic loads over
the foam. Therefore, given the cost associated with these items, geofoam may not be suitable for
this project.
Bottom Ash is a byproduct of coal fired power plants and weighs between 45 and 75 pounds per
cubic foot. Bottom ash has been used on several road projects but is becoming hard to obtain.
Light weight volcanic rock has been used as light weight fill in the past. Light weight volcanic
rock generally weights approximately 45 to 60 pounds per cubic foot. However, there are no
readily available sources of light weight volcanic rock in Washington State. Therefore, the cost
associated with importing the material would be prohibitive for this project.
Lightweight cellular concrete is a proprietary product that can be manufactured onsite to a wide
range of unit weights (27 pcf to 120 pcf) and compressive strengths to match project
requirements. Cellular concrete is widely available in Washington State and has been used
successfully on road projects. Cellular concrete does not require encapsulation within a
geomembrane and would not require a load distribution slab. Although it is not recommended,
cellular concrete can be excavated for future utility needs if required. Additionally, the use of
cellular concrete does not require the use of heavy compaction and vibration equipment which
could lead to the deformation of soils around and below the railroad. We have received cost
estimates ranging from $55 to $100 per cubic yard for cellular concrete on past projects. We
believe that light weight cellular concrete would be a viable settlement mitigation measure for
this project.
4.5 PREFERRED SETTLEMENT MITIGATION MEASURE
Given the soil geometry and location of the project site, most of the above-described settlement
mitigation options present significant challenges that make them less favorable for this project.
Of the options available, the use of light weight cellular concrete would be the most
advantageous to reduce anticipated settlements. Cellular concrete would be used to offset the
dead loads associated with the proposed grade increases, resulting in a no-load increase scenario.
This would require excavation and removal of 4 to 5 feet, depending on location, of existing soils
and replacement with cellular concrete that would extend to the roadway subgrade elevation.
HWA has conducted settlement analysis to determine the lateral extent of the cellular concrete
that would be required to limit settlement of the BNSF railroad tracks to no more than 1/4 -inch.
Our analysis indicates that cellular concrete would extend a minimum of 30 feet from the
centerline of the railroad tracks to limit track settlement to ¼-inch. The cellular concrete
geometry utilized in this analysis is provided in Figure 6A and Figure 6B. The orientation of the
cross section provided in Figures 6A and 6B is shown in Figure 2. Anticipated site settlements,
based on this geometry of cellular concrete, are provided in Figure 7. As shown in Figure 7,
some roadway settlement would be expected to occur outside of the cellular concrete placement
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 12 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
area. If these settlements would not be desirable, additional cellular concrete placement would
be required to further reduce roadway settlements.
Where placed, cellular concrete would consist of Type II cellular concrete, possessing a cast
density ranging from 27 to 30 pounds per cubic foot and a minimum compressive strength of 40
to 50 pounds per square inch. The cellular concrete would be placed in a maximum 4-foot-thick
layers. Cellular concrete does not require the installation of a gasoline resistant geomembrane.
The cellular concrete would be installed with a cover of at least 2 feet of compacted structural fill
to offset buoyancy forces in the event of seasonally high ground water levels.
4.6 SETTLEMENT MITIGATION MEASURE TO BE IMPLEMENTED
It is our understanding that the City and BNSF have agreed to not implement any settlement
mitigation measures as part of the project. The city has indicated that they prefer to construct the
roadway embankment utilizing conventional fill soils, excepting that this will result in settlement
of the roadway over time. The city has indicated that they will repair settlement-induced damage
to the roadway and associated improvements, as they occur.
4.7 WATER MAIN RAIL UNDERCROSSING OPTIONS
We understand that the city plans to install a new water line under the railroad tracks as part of
this project. We understand that the city plans to install the proposed utilities utilizing standard
cut and cover trenching techniques.
4.7.1 Trenching Challenges
We understand the use of standard cut and cover trenching methods are being considered for
installation of the proposed water line under the BNSF rail corridor. We expect that standard cut
and cover trenching methods would be the best option for installation of the shallow water line.
If the water line is to be installed at depths less than approximately 4-5 feet below ground
surface, we expect that installation, with standard trenching techniques, will be feasible and
dewatering will not be required.
4.7.2 Anticipated Ground Conditions
Ground conditions along the proposed utility alignment are anticipated to consist of fill and
relatively loose alluvial soil deposits, with a ground water level within 3.5 to 4 feet below the
existing ground surface. The anticipated ground conditions along the trenchless crossing are
depicted in the Geologic Profile, Figure 3. The alluvial deposits are expected to vary
significantly in composition from location to location. The silt and organic silt layers
encountered in the geotechnical borings should not be assumed to be connected or uniform from
location to location. Although not encountered in our borings, the alluvial soils could contain
large woody debris or other objects that could result in obstructions to various construction
activities.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 13 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
4.7.3 Dewatering
Ground water measurements, within the groundwater monitoring wells, suggest that the water
level could be as high as 3.5 to 4 feet below existing ground surface at the location of the utility
installations. Therefore, dewatering is expected to be required to install the utilities under the
railroad. We recommend that the dewatering system consider potential impacts associated with
settlement of the subsurface compressible soils.
In the vicinity of settlement-sensitive structures, such as the railroad tracks, ground water
monitoring wells should be established between the excavation and the structure to observe
changes. The city and/or Contractor should survey the elevation of settlement sensitive
structures prior to dewatering and monitor for settlement during construction.
We recommend the Contractor be required to submit a dewatering plan for review by HWA to
evaluate other potential impacts. We recommend the plans and specifications include provisions
requiring Contractors to maintain a minimum and maximum drawdown from dewatering. The
Contractor could use existing monitoring wells to aid in the determination of the effectiveness of
the dewatering system. However, design and implementation of any dewatering system remains
the responsibility of the Contractor.
4.8 RETAINING WALLS
The proposed improvements will require construction of one retaining wall with the potential for
a second. Wall No. 1 will be constructed along the south side of 757th Avenue and potential wall
Wall No. 2 would be constructed along the west side of Lake Washington Boulevard N.
Proposed wall designations and locations are shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2.
Wall No. 1 will be a Gravity Block Wall (GBW) with a height of be between 5 – 7 feet tall.
Specifics associated with each proposed wall are indicated in Table 3.

4.8.1 GBW Design Parameter Recommendations
We assume that Wall No. 1 will consist of a Gravity Block Wall (GBW). The wall will consist
of a proprietary wall system that the wall supplier will design for internal stability. The wall
October 14, 2022

should be designed in accordance with AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.
We recommend the walls be designed using the parameters presented in Table 4. For the
Extreme Event I Limit State, the wall shall be designed for a horizontal seismic acceleration
coefficient kh of one-half the peak ground acceleration or 0.253g and a vertical seismic
acceleration coefficient kv of 0.0g (assuming the wall is free to move during a seismic event).
Extreme Event I Limit State is defined in the AASHTO Standard Specifications as a safety check
involving an extreme load event resulting from an earthquake in combination with the dead load
and a fraction of live loads.

4.8.2 Retaining Wall Global Stability
Using the computer program SLIDE 5.0, we evaluated static, seismic and post liquefaction
global stability of the potential Structural Earth Wall (SEW) and proposed Gravity Block Wall
(GBW). Analyses were completed utilizing site topography determined in the field and wall
geometry provided by Perteet. Factors of safety for static global stability in excess of 1.5 were
calculated given the geologic conditions and a minimum wall embedment of 2 feet.
Seismic stability was evaluated using a pseudo-static horizontal acceleration of 0.253 g, which is
½ of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) associated with the 1:1033-year design earthquake for
this site location, as is standard of practice for yielding walls. From our analyses, we conclude
that, under a design earthquake, a factor of safety for global stability greater than 1.1 will exist.
Post liquefaction stability was evaluated using static loading condition and residual shear
strengths for the liquefiable soils. From our analyses, we conclude that, under post liquefaction
conditions, a factor of safety for global stability greater than 1.1 will exist.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 15 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
Based on our analysis we conclude that the global stability of the walls will be adequate under
static, seismic, and loading conditions if wall embedment of at least 2 feet is maintained for the
walls.
4.8.3 General Retaining Wall Subgrade Preparation
Subgrade preparation is important to limit differential settlement of the walls and maintain global
stability. Disturbed, loose or soft soil conditions, as determined by HWA, should be removed
and replaced with “Structural Backfill” in accordance with Section 4.13.1 of this report or be
compacted to a firm and unyielding state as determined by HWA.
All areas on which the walls will bear should be graded level perpendicular to the wall face and
compacted in accordance with Section 2-03.3(14)D of the WSDOT Standard Specifications
(WSDOT, 2018).
We recommend an HWA geotechnical engineer, or their representative, be present during
construction to verify the foundation of the wall requirements provided in this report are met.
We recommend the bottom of the retaining walls be placed on a 1-foot-thick leveling pad
consisting of crushed surfacing base course (CSBC) compacted to 95 percent of Modified
Proctor Maximum Dry Density, as determined by ASTM D 1557. This leveling pad should be
graded to establish the proper wall batter.
4.8.4 Retaining Wall Drainage
Proper wall construction and drainage is essential to prevent premature failure of the wall
systems. We recommend installing a 6-inch-diameter perforated drainpipe behind the walls to
convey all collected water to a suitable outlet. The pipe should be bedded and backfilled with
Gravel Backfill for Drains, as specified in Section 9-03.12(4) of the WSDOT Standard
Specifications (WSDOT, 2018). The drainpipe should be sloped to drain and routed to an
appropriate discharge location.
4.9 CONVENTIONAL UTILITIES
4.9.1 Open-cut Excavations
We understand open-cut trenching will be used for all other utility improvements aside from
being considered for the potential sewer main crossing under the BNSF right-of-way. Trench
excavations for the pipelines can be accomplished with conventional excavation equipment such
as backhoes and trackhoes. Trench excavation should be made with a smooth-edge (toothless)
bucket or a bucket with a plate welded over the teeth to minimize disturbance to the pipe
subgrade. Although not reported on the exploration logs, there is a potential for oversize objects,
such as boulders or buried logs, to be encountered in the excavations. All open-cut excavations
should be completed in accordance with Section 4.13.3 of this report.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 16 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
4.9.2 Trench Subgrade Preparation
Subgrade preparation and verification should be performed at the base of all excavations. This
work should be observed by the geotechnical consultant. Any soft or yielding materials
identified at the base of the excavation should be removed and replaced with trench backfill as
directed by the geotechnical consultant in the field. Any loose materials should be compacted
prior to placement of pipe bedding or foundation pad for manhole structures.
4.9.3 Pipe Bedding
The soils at, or near, the bottom of the proposed sewer line and manhole excavations are
expected to consist of slightly silty to silty sand. We do not recommend pea gravel for use as
pipe bedding material or backfill. To provide suitable support and bedding, we recommend the
pipes be founded on suitable bedding material, such as Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding
meeting the requirements of Section 9-03.12(3) of the Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2018).
Pipe bedding should provide a firm uniform cradle for support of the pipes. A minimum 4-inch
thickness of bedding material beneath the pipe should be provided. Prior to installation of the
pipe, the pipe bedding should be shaped to fit the lower part of the pipe exterior with reasonable
closeness to provide uniform support along the pipe. Pipe bedding material should be used as
pipe zone backfill and placed in layers and tamped around the pipe to obtain complete contact.
To protect the pipe, bedding material should extend at least 12 inches above the top of the pipe.
4.10 LUMINAIRE AND SIGNAL POLE FOUNDATIONS
We understand the proposed improvements include installation of luminaire and signal poles
along the project alignment, including the area near the trestle undercrossing. Based on
subsurface soil conditions encountered during our explorations, non-standard foundation designs
will be required for both luminaire and signal pole foundations. Since a non-standard design is
recommended, the estimated friction angle and the passive pressure to assume when using the
Brom’s method recommended in the Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for
Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals (AASHTO, 2013) are provided below in
Tables 5 and 6. Table 5 illustrates the design properties that should be utilized for the proposed
structural fill that will be used to regrade the project site. Given the soil variability observed
across the site, Table 6 illustrates the recommended design parameters, based on the soil
conditions encountered in each of our subsurface explorations. The recommended parameters
provided in Tables 5 and 6 should be used for non-standard foundation designs across the project
site. We recommend that the design of specific foundations be based on the parameters
associated with the nearest geotechnical boring to the subject foundation. For luminaires along
Lake Washington Boulevard N, we recommend using the values provided for BH-3.
It should be noted that liquefiable soils exist at each proposed foundation location. The onset of
liquefaction will result in the reduction in the shear strength of the potentially liquefiable soils.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21

Therefore, additional parameters are provided at each boring location for the post liquefaction
condition. These parameters should be considered for the post liquefaction condition.

HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 19 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
4.10.1 Luminaire and Signal Pole Construction Considerations
While not encountered in any of our explorations, the Contractor should anticipate and make
allowance for potential obstructions during advancement of the shaft excavations. Obstructions
could be encountered in both the fill and the alluvial soil deposits.
The shaft excavations for the proposed luminaire and signal pole locations will extend through
loose and sometimes saturated fill and alluvial soils for the various proposed locations across the
project. The Contractor should, therefore, be prepared to case the shaft excavations. Without
careful casing placement and soil excavation, the loose to medium dense fill and alluvial soils are
susceptible to caving resulting in detrimental loss of ground. Should this occur, it may be
necessary to recover ground loss through immediate backfilling of the caved areas with
controlled density fill (CDF), followed by re-drilling of the shaft(s) after the CDF has set
sufficiently.
Ground water was encountered in all the exploration borings. Therefore, ground water seepage
into shaft excavations is expected to occur throughout the project alignment. Where ground
water seepage is encountered and standing water is present at the base of the excavation,
concrete should be pumped to the base of the excavation rather than end-dumped from the
surface, to facilitate displacement of the standing water.
4.11 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
It is our understanding that onsite infiltration is a desirable means of stormwater management for
this site. However, the relatively shallow nature of the ground water across the site, presence of
near surface fine grained soils and the potential for soils and ground water contamination across
the site are such that the use of onsite infiltration is not recommended. We recommend that
other means of stormwater management be implemented for this site.
4.12 PAVEMENT DESIGN
It is our understanding that pavement design for the project will be completed by Perteet.
Therefore, no pavement design evaluations or recommendations have been completed by HWA.
4.13 GENERAL EARTHWORK
4.13.1 Structural Fill
The site soils have a high fines content and are expected to be highly moisture sensitive.
Therefore, we do not recommend that the site soils be reused as structural fill for this project.
We recommend that structural fill for this project consist of imported clean, free-draining,
granular soils free from organic matter or other deleterious materials. The structural fill material
should be less than 4 inches in maximum particle dimension, with less than 7 percent fines
(portion passing the U. S. Standard No. 200 sieve), as specified for “Gravel Borrow” in Section
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 20 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
9-03.14(1) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2018). The fine-grained portion
of structural fill soils should be non-plastic.
Structural fill soils should be moisture conditioned and compacted to the requirements specified
in Section 2-03.3(14)C, Method C, of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2018);
except the standard of compaction achieved shall not be less than 95 percent of the Maximum
Dry Density (MDD) as determined for the fill material by test method ASTM D1557 (Modified
Proctor). Subgrade compaction in road bed areas should conform to the requirements of Section
2-06.3(1) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2018).
Achievement of proper density of a compacted fill depends on the size and type of compaction
equipment, the number of passes, thickness of the layer being compacted, and soil moisture-
density properties. In areas where limited space restricts the use of heavy equipment, smaller
equipment can be used, but the soil must be placed in thin enough layers to achieve the required
relative compaction. Generally, loosely compacted soils result from poor construction technique
and/or improper moisture content. Soils with high fines contents are particularly susceptible to
becoming too wet, and coarse-grained materials easily become too dry, for proper compaction.
4.13.2 Trench Backfill
Existing materials along the alignment are anticipated to consist of silty sand and silt. Where
these materials are encountered below the ground water table, they are likely to be too wet for
compaction; however, these materials may be suitable for re-use as trench backfill if they can be
properly moisture conditioned and placed within 3 percent of the optimum moisture content and
meet the required compaction standard of 95 percent of the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) as
determined by ASTM D1557 (Modified Proctor).
If import materials are needed, we recommend using clean, free-draining, granular soils such as
Gravel Borrow as specified in Section 9-03.14(1) of the Standard Specifications (WSDOT,
2018) or Bank Run Gravel for Trench Backfill as specified in Section 9-03.19 of the Standard
Specifications (WSDOT, 2018). As with the native materials, import materials should be placed
within 3 percent of their optimum water content and compacted to 95 percent of their Maximum
Dry Density (MDD) as determined by ASTM D1557.
Trench backfill should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 8 to
12 inches (depending upon the nature of the fill material and the compaction equipment used)
and densely compacted in a systematic manner. The Contractor should develop compaction
methods that consistently produce adequate compaction levels. All backfilling operations should
be monitored full-time by a qualified inspector and a sufficient number of in-place density tests
should be performed as the fill is placed to determine that the required compaction is being
achieved.
During placement of the initial lifts, the trench backfill material should not be bulldozed into the
excavation or dropped directly onto the pipe. Furthermore, heavy vibratory equipment should
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 21 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
not be permitted to operate directly over the pipe until a minimum of 2 feet of backfill has been
placed over the pipe bedding.
A significant cause of trench settlement is inadequate shoring practices and inadequate
compaction during shoring removal and backfilling. Special care must be taken to obtain good
compaction up to the edges of the excavation as the shoring is removed. Moreover, attention
must be paid to ensure good compaction around manholes.
4.13.3 Temporary Excavations
Excavations on site can be accomplished with conventional excavating equipment such as
backhoes and trackhoes. Because of the nature of the alluvial soils, the high ground water table,
potential for flowing sands, and the depths of excavation, some excavations may require advance
dewatering and shoring.
Maintenance of safe working conditions, including temporary excavation stability, is the
responsibility of the Contractor. In accordance with Part N of WAC (Washington
Administrative Code) 296-155, latest revisions, all temporary cuts in excess of 4 feet in height
should be sloped or shored. The existing native soils generally consist of very loose to loose
sands and silty sands. These sand deposits, when de-watered, generally classify as Type C soil,
per WAC 296-155, and, if no trench box is used, should be sloped no steeper than 1½H:1V
(Horizontal:Vertical). Flatter side slopes will be required where ground water seepage is
encountered.
Lateral support for the trench walls should be provided by the Contractor to prevent loss of
ground and possible distress to nearby ditches or roads. General recommendations for design
and implementation of shoring and bracing systems are presented below.
• Trench boxes should provide suitable support for trench excavations in native sandy soils
provided the ground water level is lowered to at least 3 feet below the base of the
excavation and settlement sensitive structures or utilities are not situated near the
excavation.
• Where a trench box is used to support an excavation in the alluvial soils, one or both
sides of the trench are likely to cave against the box. The caving may extend out on
either or both sides of the trench for a distance approximately equal to the depth of the
trench. As a result, we recommend any excavations be positioned such that the nearest
side of the trench box is at a distance no less than the depth of the excavation plus 10 feet
from the nearest edge of the ditch.
4.13.4 Wet Weather Earthwork
General recommendations relative to earthwork performed in wet weather or in wet conditions
are presented below. These recommendations should be incorporated into the contract
specifications.
October 14, 2022
HWA Project No. 2017-147-21
Geotechnical Report 22 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
• Earthwork should be performed in small areas to minimize exposure to wet weather.
Excavation of unsuitable and/or softened soil should be followed promptly by
placement and compaction of clean structural fill. The size and type of construction
equipment used may need to be limited to prevent soil disturbance. Under some
circumstances, it may be necessary to excavate soils with a backhoe to minimize
subgrade disturbance caused by equipment traffic.
• For wet weather conditions, the allowable fines content of the structural fill should be
reduced to no more than 5 percent by weight of the portion of the fill material passing
the ¾-inch sieve. The fines should be non-plastic. It should be noted this is an
additional restriction on the structural fill materials specified.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be graded to promote surface
water run-off and to prevent ponding.
• Within the construction area, the ground surface should be sealed on completion of
each shift by a smooth drum vibratory roller, or equivalent, and under no
circumstances should soil be left uncompacted and exposed to moisture infiltration.
• Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences should be strategically located to control
erosion and the movement of soil.
5. CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
We have prepared this report for the City of Renton and Perteet, Inc. for use in design of this
project. This report should be provided in its entirety to prospective Contractors for bidding and
estimating purposes; however, the conclusions and interpretations presented in this report should
not be construed as our warranty of the subsurface conditions. Experience has shown that soil
and ground water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent conditions
can occur between explorations and may not be detected by a geotechnical study. If, during
future site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those
described herein, HWA should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and
revision of such if necessary.
We recommend HWA be retained to review the plans and specifications to verify that our
recommendations have been interpreted and implemented as intended. Sufficient geotechnical
monitoring, testing, and consultation should be provided during construction to confirm the
conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide
recommendations for design changes should conditions revealed during construction differ from
those anticipated, and to verify that the geotechnical aspects of construction comply with the
contract plans and specifications.
Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, HWA attempted to execute these services
in accordance with generally accepted professional principles and practices in the fields of
geotechnical engineering and engineering geology in the area at the time the report was prepared.

APPENDIX A
HWA EXPLORATIONS
HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) conducted five (5) geotechnical borings in support of the design
of the proposed Park Avenue North Extension Project in Renton, Washington. The five (5)
borings were conducted on The Boeing Company and Puget Sound Energy properties. Three of
these borings (BH-1 through BH-3) were advanced by Geologic Drill Partners, Inc. of Bellevue,
Washington on December 20, 2018. BH-4 and BH-5 were advanced by Holocene Drilling, Inc.
of Puyallup, Washington on December 21, 2018 and January 4, 2019. Geologic Drill Partners,
Inc. used a limited access Mini Bobcat Drill Rig equipped for hollow stem auger drilling and a
cathead hammer to advance the three borings. Holocene Drilling, Inc. used a Diedrich D-120
truck-mounted drill rig equipped for hollow stem auger and mud rotary drilling with an
automatic hammer to advance the two borings.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling was performed using a 2-inch outside diameter split-
spoon sampler driven by a 140-pound manual rope and cathead hammer. During the SPT,
samples were obtained by driving the sampler 18 inches into the soil with the hammer
free-falling 30 inches. The numbers of blows required for each 6 inches of penetration were
recorded. The Standard Penetration Resistance (“N-value”) of the soil is calculated as the
number of blows required for the final 12 inches of penetration. This resistance, or N-value,
provides an indication of relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of
cohesive soils; both indicators of soil strength and foundation bearing capacity.
The locations of the boreholes were determined approximately in the field by pacing and taping
distances from existing site features and are shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2.
A geotechnical engineer from HWA logged each exploration and recorded all pertinent
information. Soil samples obtained from the boreholes were classified in the field and
representative portions were sealed in plastic bags. These soil samples were then returned to our
Bothell, Washington, laboratory for further examination and testing. Pertinent information
including soil sample depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and ground water
occurrence was recorded. The stratigraphic contacts shown on the individual exploration logs
represent the approximate boundaries between soil types; actual transitions may be more gradual.
The soil and ground water conditions depicted are only for the specific date and locations
reported and, therefore, are not necessarily representative of other locations and times. A legend
of the terms and symbols used on the exploration logs is presented in Figure A-1. Summary logs
of the borehole explorations are presented in Figures A-2 through A-6.

LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
Geotechnical Report B-1 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
APPENDIX B
LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
Representative soil samples obtained from the explorations were placed in plastic bags to prevent
loss of moisture and transported to our Bothell, Washington, laboratory for further examination
and testing. Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples to characterize relevant
engineering and index properties of the site soils. The laboratory testing program was performed
in general accordance with appropriate ASTM Standards, as outlined below.
MOISTURE CONTENT OF SOIL: The moisture content of selected soil samples (percent by dry
mass) was determined in general accordance with ASTM D 2216. The results are shown at the
sampled intervals on the appropriate summary logs in Appendix A.
PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS OF SOILS: Selected granular samples were tested to determine the
particle size distribution of material in accordance with ASTM D 422 (wash sieve or wash sieve
and hydrometer methods). The results are summarized on the attached Particle-Size Distribution
reports (Figures B-1 through B-16, Appendix B), which also provide information regarding the
classification of the samples and the moisture content at the time of testing.
LIQUID LIMIT, PLASTIC LIMIT, AND PLASTICITY INDEX OF SOILS (ATTERBERG LIMITS):
Selected sample was tested using method ASTM D 4318, multi-point method. The results are
reported on the attached Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index reports found in Figure
B-6.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
S1. PERMIT COVERAGE
A. Permit Area
This Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSWGP) covers all areas of Washington State,
except for federal operators and Indian Country as specified in Special Condition S1.E.3 and 4.
B. Operators Required to Seek Coverage Under this General Permit
1. Operators of the following construction activities are required to seek coverage under
this CSWGP:
a. Clearing, grading and/or excavation that results in the disturbance of one or more
acres (including off-site disturbance acreage related to construction-support activity
as authorized in S1.C.2) and discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State;
and clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part
of a larger common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of
development or sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge
stormwater to surface waters of the State.
i. This category includes forest practices (including, but not limited to, class IV
conversions) that are part of a construction activity that will result in the
disturbance of one or more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State
(that is, forest practices that prepare a site for construction activities); and
b. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that the
Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology):
i. Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State
of Washington.
ii. Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water quality standard.
2. Operators of the following activities are not required to seek coverage under this CSWGP
(unless specifically required under Special Condition S1.B.1.b, above):
a. Construction activities that discharge all stormwater and non-stormwater to
groundwater, sanitary sewer, or combined sewer, and have no point source
discharge to either surface water or a storm sewer system that drains to surface
waters of the State.
b. Construction activities covered under an Erosivity Waiver (Special Condition S1.F).
c. Routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line and grade,
hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of a facility.
C. Authorized Discharges
1. Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity. Subject to compliance with the terms
and conditions of this permit, Permittees are authorized to discharge stormwater
associated with construction activity to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer
system that drains to surface waters of the State. (Note that “surface waters of the
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 4
State” may exist on a construction site as well as off site; for example, a creek running
through a site.)
2. Stormwater Associated with Construction Support Activity. This permit also authorizes
stormwater discharge from support activities related to the permitted construction site
(for example, an on-site portable rock crusher, off-site equipment staging yards, material
storage areas, borrow areas, etc.) provided:
a. The support activity relates directly to the permitted construction site that is
required to have an NPDES permit; and
b. The support activity is not a commercial operation serving multiple unrelated
construction projects, and does not operate beyond the completion of the
construction activity; and
c. Appropriate controls and measures are identified in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the discharges from the support activity areas.
3. Non-Stormwater Discharges. The categories and sources of non-stormwater discharges
identified below are authorized conditionally, provided the discharge is consistent with
the terms and conditions of this permit:
a. Discharges from fire-fighting activities.
b. Fire hydrant system flushing.
c. Potable water, including uncontaminated water line flushing.
d. Hydrostatic test water.
e. Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate.
f. Uncontaminated groundwater or spring water.
g. Uncontaminated excavation dewatering water (in accordance with S9.D.10).
h. Uncontaminated discharges from foundation or footing drains.
i. Uncontaminated or potable water used to control dust. Permittees must minimize
the amount of dust control water used.
j. Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents.
k. Landscape irrigation water.
The SWPPP must adequately address all authorized non-stormwater discharges, except for
discharges from fire-fighting activities, and must comply with Special Condition S3. At a
minimum, discharges from potable water (including water line flushing), fire hydrant system
flushing, and pipeline hydrostatic test water must undergo the following: dechlorination to a
concentration of 0.1 parts per million (ppm) or less, and pH adjustment to within 6.5 – 8.5
standard units (su), if necessary.
D. Prohibited Discharges
The following discharges to waters of the State, including groundwater, are prohibited:
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 5
1. Concrete wastewater
2. Wastewater from washout and clean-up of stucco, paint, form release oils, curing
compounds and other construction materials.
3. Process wastewater as defined by 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 122.2 (See
Appendix A of this permit).
4. Slurry materials and waste from shaft drilling, including process wastewater from shaft

according to Special Condition S9.D.9.j.
5. Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and
maintenance.
6. Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing.
7. Wheel wash wastewater, unless managed according to Special Condition S9.D.9.
8. Discharges from dewatering activities, including discharges from dewatering of trenches
and excavations, unless managed according to Special Condition S9.D.10.
E. Limits on Coverage
Ecology may require any discharger to apply for and obtain coverage under an individual permit
or another more specific general permit. Such alternative coverage will be required when
Ecology determines that this CSWGP does not provide adequate assurance that water quality
will be protected, or there is a reasonable potential for the project to cause or contribute to a
violation of water quality standards.
The following stormwater discharges are not covered by this permit:
1. Post-construction stormwater discharges that originate from the site after completion of
construction activities and the site has undergone final stabilization.
2. Non-point source silvicultural activities such as nursery operations, site preparation,
reforestation and subsequent cultural treatment, thinning, prescribed burning, pest and
fire control, harvesting operations, surface drainage, or road construction and
maintenance, from which there is natural runoff as excluded in 40 CFR Subpart 122.
3. Stormwater from any federal operator.
4. Stormwater from facilities located on Indian Country as defined in 18 U.S.C.§1151,
except portions of the Puyallup Reservation as noted below.
Indian Country includes:
a. All land within any Indian Reservation notwithstanding the issuance of any patent,
and, including rights-of-way running through the reservation. This includes all
federal, tribal, and Indian and non-Indian privately owned land within the
reservation.
b. All off-reservation Indian allotments, the Indian titles to which have not been
extinguished, including rights-of-way running through the same.
c. All off-reservation federal trust lands held for Native American Tribes.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 6
Puyallup Exception: Following the Puyallup Tribes of Indians Land Settlement Act of
1989, 25 U.S.C. §1773; the permit does apply to land within the Puyallup
Reservation except for discharges to surface water on land held in trust by the
federal government.
5. Stormwater from any site covered under an existing NPDES individual permit in which
stormwater management and/or treatment requirements are included for all stormwater
discharges associated with construction activity.
6. Stormwater from a site where an applicable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
requirement specifically precludes or prohibits discharges from construction activity.
F. Erosivity Waiver
Construction site operators may qualify for an Erosivity Waiver from the CSWGP if the following
conditions are met:
1. The site will result in the disturbance of fewer than five (5) acres and the site is not a
portion of a common plan of development or sale that will disturb five (5) acres or
greater.
2. Calculation of Erosivity “R” Factor and Regional Timeframe:
a. The project’s calculated rainfall erosivity factor (“R” Factor) must be less than five
(5) during the period of construction activity, (See the CSWGP homepage
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/index.html for a
link to the EPA’s calculator and step by step instructions on computing the “R”
Factor in the EPA Erosivity Waiver Fact Sheet). The period of construction activity
starts when the land is first disturbed and ends with final stabilization. In addition:
b. The entire period of construction activity must fall within the following timeframes:
i. For sites west of the Cascades Crest: June 15 – September 15.
ii. For sites east of the Cascades Crest, excluding the Central Basin:
June 15 – October 15.
iii. For sites east of the Cascades Crest, within the Central Basin: no timeframe
restrictions apply. The Central Basin is defined as the portions of Eastern
Washington with mean annual precipitation of less than 12 inches. For a map of
the Central Basin (Average Annual Precipitation Region 2), refer to:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/resourcesguida
nce.html.
3. Construction site operators must submit a complete Erosivity Waiver certification form at
least one week before disturbing the land. Certification must include statements that the
operator will:
a. Comply with applicable local stormwater requirements; and
b. Implement appropriate erosion and sediment control BMPs to prevent violations of
water quality standards.
4. This waiver is not available for facilities declared significant contributors of pollutants as
defined in Special Condition S1.B.1.b or for any size construction activity that could
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 7
reasonably expect to cause a violation of any water quality standard as defined in Special
Condition S1.B.1.b.ii.
5. This waiver does not apply to construction activities which include non-stormwater
discharges listed in Special Condition S1.C.3.
6. If construction activity extends beyond the certified waiver period for any reason, the
operator must either:
a. Recalculate the rainfall erosivity “R” factor using the original start date and a new
projected ending date and, if the “R” factor is still under 5 and the entire project
falls within the applicable regional timeframe in Special Condition S1.F.2.b,
complete and submit an amended waiver certification form before the original
waiver expires; or
b. Submit a complete permit application to Ecology in accordance with Special
Condition S2.A and B before the end of the certified waiver period.
S2. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
A. Permit Application Forms
1. Notice of Intent Form
a. Operators of new or previously unpermitted construction activities must submit a
complete and accurate permit application (Notice of Intent, or NOI) to Ecology.
b. Operators must apply using the electronic application form (NOI) available on Ecology’s
website (http://ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/index.html).
Permittees unable to submit electronically (for example, those who do not have an
internet connection) must contact Ecology to request a waiver and obtain instructions
on how to obtain a paper NOI.
Department of Ecology
Water Quality Program - Construction Stormwater
PO Box 47696
Olympia, Washington 98504-7696
c. The operator must submit the NOI at least 60 days before discharging stormwater
from construction activities and must submit it prior to the date of the first public
notice (See Special Condition S2.B, below, for details). The 30-day public comment
period begins on the publication date of the second public notice. Unless Ecology
responds to the complete application in writing, coverage under the general permit
will automatically commence on the 31st day following receipt by Ecology of a
completed NOI, or the issuance date of this permit, whichever is later; unless Ecology
specifies a later date in writing as required by WAC173-226-200(2). See S8.B for
Limits on Coverage for New Discharges to TMDL or 303(d)-Listed Waters.
d. If an applicant intends to use a Best Management Practice (BMP) selected on the
basis of Special Condition S9.C.4 (“demonstrably equivalent” BMPs), the applicant
must notify Ecology of its selection as part of the NOI. In the event the applicant
selects BMPs after submission of the NOI, the applicant must provide notice of the
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 8
selection of an equivalent BMP to Ecology at least 60 days before intended use of
the equivalent BMP.
e. Applicants must notify Ecology if they are aware of contaminated soils and/or
groundwater associated with the construction activity. Provide detailed information
with the NOI (as known and readily available) on the nature and extent of the
contamination (concentrations, locations, and depth), as well as pollution
prevention and/or treatment BMPs proposed to control the discharge of soil and/or
groundwater contaminants in stormwater. Examples of such detail may include, but
are not limited to:
i. List or table of all known contaminants with laboratory test results showing
concentration and depth,
ii. Map with sample locations,
iii. Related portions of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that
address the management of contaminated and potentially contaminated
construction stormwater and dewatering water,
iv. Dewatering plan and/or dewatering contingency plan.
2. Transfer of Coverage Form
The Permittee can transfer current coverage under this permit to one or more new
operators, including operators of sites within a Common Plan of Development, provided:
i. The Permittee submits a complete Transfer of Coverage Form to Ecology,
signed by the current and new discharger and containing a specific date for
transfer of permit responsibility, coverage and liability (including any
Administrative Orders associated with the permit); and
ii. Ecology does not notify the current discharger and new discharger of intent to
revoke coverage under the general permit. If this notice is not given, the
transfer is effective on the date specified in the written agreement.
When a current discharger (Permittee) transfers a portion of a permitted site, the current
discharger must also indicate the remaining permitted acreage after the transfer.
Transfers do not require public notice.
3. Modification of Coverage Form
Permittees must notify Ecology regarding any changes to the information provided on
the NOI by submitting an Update/Modification of Permit Coverage form in accordance
with General Conditions G6 and G19. Examples of such changes include, but are not
limited to:
i. Changes to the Permittee’s mailing address,
ii. Changes to the on-site contact person information, and
iii. Changes to the area/acreage affected by construction activity.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 9
B. Public Notice
For new or previously unpermitted construction activities, the applicant must publish a public
notice at least one time each week for two consecutive weeks, at least 7 days apart, in a
newspaper with general circulation in the county where the construction is to take place. The
notice must be run after the NOI has been submitted and must contain:
1. A statement that “The applicant is seeking coverage under the Washington State
Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge
General Permit.”
2. The name, address, and location of the construction site.
3. The name and address of the applicant.
4. The type of construction activity that will result in a discharge (for example, residential
construction, commercial construction, etc.), and the total number of acres to be
disturbed over the lifetime of the project.
5. The name of the receiving water(s) (that is, the surface water(s) to which the site will
discharge), or, if the discharge is through a storm sewer system, the name of the
operator of the system and the receiving water(s) the system discharges to.
6. The statement: Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State
Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this
application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of
publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether
discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality,
and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according
to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be
submitted to: Department of Ecology, PO Box 47696, Olympia, Washington 98504-7696
Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater.
S3. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
A. Discharges must not cause or contribute to a violation of surface water quality standards
(Chapter 173-201A WAC), groundwater quality standards (Chapter 173-200 WAC),
sediment management standards (Chapter 173-204 WAC), and human health-based
criteria in the Federal water quality criteria applicable to Washington. (40 CFR Part 131.45)
Discharges that are not in compliance with these standards are prohibited.
B. Prior to the discharge of stormwater and non-stormwater to waters of the State, the
Permittee must apply All Known, Available, and Reasonable methods of prevention,
control, and Treatment (AKART). This includes the preparation and implementation of an
adequate SWPPP, with all appropriate BMPs installed and maintained in accordance with
the SWPPP and the terms and conditions of this permit.
C. Ecology presumes that a Permittee complies with water quality standards unless discharge
monitoring data or other site-specific information demonstrates that a discharge causes or
contributes to a violation of water quality standards, when the Permittee complies with the
following conditions. The Permittee must fully:
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 10
1. Comply with all permit conditions, including; planning, sampling, monitoring,
reporting, and recordkeeping conditions.
2. Implement stormwater BMPs contained in stormwater management manuals
published or approved by Ecology, or BMPs that are demonstrably equivalent to BMPs
contained in stormwater management manuals published or approved by Ecology,
including the proper selection, implementation, and maintenance of all applicable and
appropriate BMPs for on-site pollution control. (For purposes of this section, the
stormwater manuals listed in Appendix 10 of the Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit
are approved by Ecology.)
D. Where construction sites also discharge to groundwater, the groundwater discharges must
also meet the terms and conditions of this CSWGP. Permittees who discharge to
groundwater through an injection well must also comply with any applicable requirements
of the Underground Injection Control (UIC) regulations, Chapter 173-218 WAC.
S4. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS, BENCHMARKS, AND
REPORTING TRIGGERS
A. Site Log Book
The Permittee must maintain a site log book that contains a record of the implementation of
the SWPPP and other permit requirements, including the installation and maintenance of
BMPs, site inspections, and stormwater monitoring.
B. Site Inspections
Construction sites one (1) acre or larger that discharge stormwater to surface waters of the
State must have site inspections conducted by a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
(CESCL). Sites less than one (1) acre may have a person without CESCL certification conduct
inspections. (See Special Conditions S4.B.3 and B.4, below, for detailed requirements of the
Permittee’s CESCL.)
Site inspections must include all areas disturbed by construction activities, all BMPs, and all
stormwater discharge points under the Permittee’s operational control.
1. The Permittee must have staff knowledgeable in the principles and practices of erosion
and sediment control. The CESCL (sites one acre or more) or inspector (sites less than one
acre) must have the skills to assess the:
a. Site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of
stormwater; and
b. Effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the quality
of stormwater discharges. The SWPPP must identify the CESCL or inspector, who
must be present on site or on-call at all times. The CESCL (sites one (1) acre or more)
must obtain this certification through an approved erosion and sediment control
training program that meets the minimum training standards established by Ecology.
(See BMP C160 in the manual, referred to in Special Condition S9.C.1 and 2.)
2. The CESCL or inspector must examine stormwater visually for the presence of suspended
sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen. BMP effectiveness must be evaluated to
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 11
determine if it is necessary to install, maintain, or repair BMPs to improve the quality of
stormwater discharges.
Based on the results of the inspection, the Permittee must correct the problems
identified, by:
a. Reviewing the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and making
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection.
b. Immediately beginning the process of fully implementing and maintaining
appropriate source control and/or treatment BMPs, within 10 days of the
inspection. If installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10
days, Ecology may approve additional time when an extension is requested by a
Permittee within the initial 10-day response period.
c. Documenting BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
3. The CESCL or inspector must inspect all areas disturbed by construction activities, all
BMPs, and all stormwater discharge points at least once every calendar week and within
24 hours of any discharge from the site. (For purposes of this condition, individual
discharge events that last more than one (1) day do not require daily inspections. For
example, if a stormwater pond discharges continuously over the course of a week, only
one (1) inspection is required that week.) Inspection frequency may be reduced to once
every calendar month for inactive sites that are temporarily stabilized.
4. The Permittee must summarize the results of each inspection in an inspection report or
checklist and enter the report/checklist into, or attach it to, the site log book. At a
minimum, each inspection report or checklist must include:
a. Inspection date and time.
b. Weather information.
c. The general conditions during inspection.
d. The approximate amount of precipitation since the last inspection.
e. The approximate amount of precipitation within the last 24 hours.
f. A summary or list of all implemented BMPs, including observations of all
erosion/sediment control structures or practices.
g. A description of:
i. BMPs inspected (including location).
ii. BMPs that need maintenance and why.
iii. BMPs that failed to operate as designed or intended, and
iv. Where additional or different BMPs are needed, and why.
h. A description of stormwater discharged from the site. The Permittee must note the
presence of suspended sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen, as
applicable.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 12
i. Any water quality monitoring performed during inspection.
j. General comments and notes, including a brief description of any BMP repairs,
maintenance, or installations made following the inspection.
k. An implementation schedule for the remedial actions that the Permittee plans to
take if the site inspection indicates that the site is out of compliance. The remedial
actions taken must meet the requirements of the SWPPP and the permit.
l. A summary report of the inspection.
m. The name, title, and signature of the person conducting the site inspection, a phone
number or other reliable method to reach this person, and the following statement:
I certify that this report is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge
and belief.

1 Soil disturbance is calculated by adding together all areas that will be affected by construction activity.
Construction activity means clearing, grading, excavation, and any other activity that disturbs the surface of the
land, including ingress/egress from the site.
2 If construction activity results in the disturbance of 1 acre or more, and involves significant concrete work (1,000
cubic yards of concrete or recycled concrete placed or poured over the life of a project) or the use of engineered
soils (soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln dust [CKD], or
fly ash), and stormwater from the affected area drains to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer
stormwater collection system that drains to other surface waters of the State, the Permittee must conduct pH
sampling in accordance with Special Condition S4.D.
3 Sites with one or more acres, but fewer than 5 acres of soil disturbance, must conduct turbidity or transparency
sampling in accordance with Special Condition S4.C.4.a or b.
4 Sites equal to or greater than 5 acres of soil disturbance must conduct turbidity sampling using a turbidity meter
in accordance with Special Condition S4.C.4.a.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 13
C. Turbidity/Transparency Sampling Requirements
1. Sampling Methods
a. If construction activity involves the disturbance of five (5) acres or more, the
Permittee must conduct turbidity sampling per Special Condition S4.C.4.a, below.
b. If construction activity involves one (1) acre or more but fewer than five (5) acres of
soil disturbance, the Permittee must conduct either transparency sampling or
turbidity sampling per Special Condition S4.C.4.a or b, below.
2. Sampling Frequency
a. The Permittee must sample all discharge points at least once every calendar week
when stormwater (or authorized non-stormwater) discharges from the site or
enters any on-site surface waters of the state (for example, a creek running through
a site); sampling is not required on sites that disturb less than an acre.
b. Samples must be representative of the flow and characteristics of the discharge.
c. Sampling is not required when there is no discharge during a calendar week.
d. Sampling is not required outside of normal working hours or during unsafe
conditions.
e. If the Permittee is unable to sample during a monitoring period, the Permittee must
include a brief explanation in the monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
f. Sampling is not required before construction activity begins.
g. The Permittee may reduce the sampling frequency for temporarily stabilized,
inactive sites to once every calendar month.
3. Sampling Locations
a. Sampling is required at all points where stormwater associated with construction
activity (or authorized non-stormwater) is discharged off site, including where it
enters any on-site surface waters of the state (for example, a creek running through
a site).
b. The Permittee may discontinue sampling at discharge points that drain areas of the
project that are fully stabilized to prevent erosion.
c. The Permittee must identify all sampling point(s) in the SWPPP and on the site map
and clearly mark these points in the field with a flag, tape, stake or other visible
marker.
d. Sampling is not required for discharge that is sent directly to sanitary or combined
sewer systems.
e. The Permittee may discontinue sampling at discharge points in areas of the project
where the Permittee no longer has operational control of the construction activity.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 14
4. Sampling and Analysis Methods
a. The Permittee performs turbidity analysis with a calibrated turbidity meter
(turbidimeter) either on site or at an accredited lab. The Permittee must record the
results in the site log book in nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs).
b. The Permittee performs transparency analysis on site with a 1¾ inch diameter, 60
centimeter (cm)-long transparency tube. The Permittee will record the results in the
site log book in centimeters (cm).

5. Turbidity/Transparency Benchmark Values and Reporting Triggers
The benchmark value for turbidity is 25 NTUs. The benchmark value for transparency is
33 centimeters (cm). Note: Benchmark values do not apply to discharges to segments of
water bodies on Washington State’s 303(d) list (Category 5) for turbidity, fine sediment,
or phosphorus; these discharges are subject to a numeric effluent limit for turbidity.
Refer to Special Condition S8 for more information and follow S5.F – Noncompliance
Notification for reporting requirements applicable to discharges which exceed the
numeric effluent limit for turbidity.
a. Turbidity 26 – 249 NTUs, or Transparency 32 – 7 cm:
If the discharge turbidity is 26 to 249 NTUs; or if discharge transparency is 32 to 7
cm, the Permittee must:
i. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate
source control and/or treatment BMPs, and no later than 10 days of the date
the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary treatment
BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time when
the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
ii. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and make
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the
benchmark.
iii. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
b. Turbidity 250 NTUs or greater, or Transparency 6 cm or less:
If a discharge point’s turbidity is 250 NTUs or greater, or if discharge transparency is
less than or equal to 6 cm, the Permittee must complete the reporting and adaptive
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 15
management process described below. For discharges which are subject to a
numeric effluent limit for turbidity, see S5.F – Noncompliance Notification.
i. Within 24 hours, telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable
Ecology Region’s Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) number (or
through Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting Portal [WQWebPortal] – Permit
Submittals when the form is available), in accordance with Special Condition S5.A.
• Central Region (Okanogan, Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, Yakima, Klickitat,
Benton): (509) 575-2490
• Eastern Region (Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield,
Grant, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman):
(509) 329-3400
• Northwest Region (Kitsap, Snohomish, Island, King, San Juan, Skagit,
Whatcom): (425) 649-7000
• Southwest Region (Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Thurston, Pierce, Clark,
Cowlitz, Skamania, Wahkiakum, Clallam, Jefferson, Pacific): (360) 407-6300
These numbers and a link to the ERTS reporting page are also listed at the following
website: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/index.html.
ii. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate
source control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the
problems within 10 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If
installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology
may approve additional time when the Permittee requests an extension within
the initial 10-day response period.
iii. Sample discharges daily until:
a) Turbidity is 25 NTUs (or lower); or
b) Transparency is 33 cm (or greater); or
c) The Permittee has demonstrated compliance with the water quality
standard for turbidity:
1) No more than 5 NTUs over background turbidity, if background is less
than 50 NTUs, or
2) No more than 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50
NTUs or greater; or
*Note: background turbidity in the receiving water must be
measured immediately upstream (upgradient) or outside of the area
of influence of the discharge.
d) The discharge stops or is eliminated.
iv. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and make
appropriate revisions within seven (7) days of the date the discharge exceeded
the benchmark.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 16
v. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
Compliance with these requirements does not relieve the Permittee from responsibility to
maintain continuous compliance with permit benchmarks.
D. pH Sampling Requirements – Significant Concrete Work or Engineered Soils
If construction activity results in the disturbance of 1 acre or more, and involves significant
concrete work (significant concrete work means greater than 1000 cubic yards placed or
poured concrete or recycled concrete used over the life of a project) or the use of engineered
soils (soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB],
cement kiln dust [CKD], or fly ash), and stormwater from the affected area drains to surface
waters of the State or to a storm sewer system that drains to surface waters of the State, the
Permittee must conduct pH sampling as set forth below. Note: In addition, discharges to
segments of water bodies on Washington State’s 303(d) list (Category 5) for high pH are subject
to a numeric effluent limit for pH; refer to Special Condition S8.
1. The Permittee must perform pH analysis on site with a calibrated pH meter, pH test kit,
or wide range pH indicator paper. The Permittee must record pH sampling results in the
site log book.
2. During the applicable pH monitoring period defined below, the Permittee must obtain a
representative sample of stormwater and conduct pH analysis at least once per week.
a. For sites with significant concrete work, the Permittee must begin the pH sampling
period when the concrete is first placed or poured and exposed to precipitation, and
continue weekly throughout and after the concrete placement, pour and curing
period, until stormwater pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su).
b. For sites with recycled concrete where monitoring is required, the Permittee must
begin the weekly pH sampling period when the recycled concrete is first exposed to
precipitation and must continue until the recycled concrete is fully stabilized with
the stormwater pH in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su).
c. For sites with engineered soils, the Permittee must begin the pH sampling period
when the soil amendments are first exposed to precipitation and must continue
until the area of engineered soils is fully stabilized.
3. The Permittee must sample pH in the sediment trap/pond(s) or other locations that
receive stormwater runoff from the area of significant concrete work or engineered soils
before the stormwater discharges to surface waters.
4. The benchmark value for pH is 8.5 standard units. Anytime sampling indicates that pH is
8.5 or greater, the Permittee must either:
a. Prevent the high pH water (8.5 or above) from entering storm sewer systems or
surface waters of the state; or
b. If necessary, adjust or neutralize the high pH water until it is in the range of pH 6.5 to
8.5 (su) using an appropriate treatment BMP such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging, dry
ice or food grade vinegar. The Permittee must obtain written approval from Ecology
before using any form of chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging, dry ice or food
grade vinegar.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 17
S5. REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
A. High Turbidity Reporting
Anytime sampling performed in accordance with Special Condition S4.C indicates turbidity has
reached the 250 NTUs or more (or transparency less than or equal to 6 cm), high turbidity
reporting level, the Permittee must notify Ecology within 24 hours of analysis either by calling
the applicable Ecology Region’s Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) number by
phone or by submitting an electronic ERTS report (through Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting
Portal (WQWebPortal) – Permit Submittals when the form is available). See the CSWGP website
for links to ERTS and the WQWebPortal. (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/

Permittees who obtain a waiver not to use WQWebDMR must use the forms provided to them
by Ecology; submittals must be mailed to the address above. Permittees must submit DMR
forms to be received by Ecology within 15 days following the end of each month.
If there was no discharge during a given monitoring period, all Permittees must submit a DMR
as required with “no discharge” entered in place of the monitoring results. DMRs are required
for the full duration of permit coverage (from the first full month following the effective date of
permit coverage up until Ecology has approved termination of the coverage). For more
information, contact Ecology staff using information provided at the following website:
www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/permits/paris/contacts.html.
C. Records Retention
The Permittee must retain records of all monitoring information (site log book, sampling
results, inspection reports/checklists, etc.), Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, copy of the
permit coverage letter (including Transfer of Coverage documentation) and any other
documentation of compliance with permit requirements for the entire life of the construction
project and for a minimum of five (5) years following the termination of permit coverage. Such
information must include all calibration and maintenance records, and records of all data used
to complete the application for this permit. This period of retention must be extended during
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 18
the course of any unresolved litigation regarding the discharge of pollutants by the Permittee
or when requested by Ecology.
D. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken, the Permittee must record the following information:
1. Date, place, method, and time of sampling or measurement.
2. The first and last name of the individual who performed the sampling or measurement.
3. The date(s) the analyses were performed.
4. The first and last name of the individual who performed the analyses.
5. The analytical techniques or methods used.
6. The results of all analyses.
E. Additional Monitoring by the Permittee
If the Permittee samples or monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this
permit using test procedures specified by Special Condition S4 of this permit, the sampling
results for this monitoring must be included in the calculation and reporting of the data
submitted in the Permittee’s DMR.
F. Noncompliance Notification
In the event the Permittee is unable to comply with any part of the terms and conditions of this
permit, and the resulting noncompliance may cause a threat to human health or the
environment (such as but not limited to spills or fuels or other materials, catastrophic pond or
slope failure, and discharges that violate water quality standards), or exceed numeric effluent
limitations (see S8 – Discharges to 303(d) or TMDL Waterbodies), the Permittee must, upon
becoming aware of the circumstance:
1. Notify Ecology within 24 hours of the failure to comply by calling the applicable Regional
office ERTS phone number (refer to Special Condition S4.C.5.b.i, or go to
https://ecology.wa.gov/About-us/Get-involved/Report-an-environmental-issue to find
contact information for the regional offices.)
2. Immediately take action to prevent the discharge/pollution, or otherwise stop or correct
the noncompliance, and, if applicable, repeat sampling and analysis of any noncompliance
immediately and submit the results to Ecology within five (5) days of becoming aware of
the violation (See S5.F.3, below, for details on submitting results in a report).
3. Submit a detailed written report to Ecology within five (5) days of the time the Permittee
becomes aware of the circumstances, unless requested earlier by Ecology. The report must
be submitted using Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting Portal (WQWebPortal) – Permit
Submittals, unless a waiver from electronic reporting has been granted according to S5.B.
The report must contain a description of the noncompliance, including exact dates and
times, and if the noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected
to continue; and the steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent
reoccurrence of the noncompliance.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 19
The Permittee must report any unanticipated bypass and/or upset that exceeds any
effluent limit in the permit in accordance with the 24-hour reporting requirement
contained in 40 C.F.R. 122.41(l)(6).
Compliance with these requirements does not relieve the Permittee from responsibility
to maintain continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit or the
resulting liability for failure to comply. Upon request of the Permittee, Ecology may waive
the requirement for a written report on a case-by-case basis, if the immediate
notification is received by Ecology within 24 hours.
G. Access to Plans and Records
1. The Permittee must retain the following permit documentation (plans and records) on
site, or within reasonable access to the site, for use by the operator or for on-site review
by Ecology or the local jurisdiction:
a. General Permit
b. Permit Coverage Letter
c. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
d. Site Log Book
e. Erosivity Waiver (if applicable)
2. The Permittee must address written requests for plans and records listed above (Special
Condition S5.G.1) as follows:
a. The Permittee must provide a copy of plans and records to Ecology within 14 days of
receipt of a written request from Ecology.

requested in writing. Upon receiving a written request from the public for the
Permittee’s plans and records, the Permittee must either:
i. Provide a copy of the plans and records to the requester within 14 days of a
receipt of the written request; or
ii. Notify the requester within 10 days of receipt of the written request of the
location and times within normal business hours when the plans and records
may be viewed; and provide access to the plans and records within 14 days of
receipt of the written request; or
Within 14 days of receipt of the written request, the Permittee may submit a
copy of the plans and records to Ecology for viewing and/or copying by the
requester at an Ecology office, or a mutually agreed location. If plans and
records are viewed and/or copied at a location other than at an Ecology office,
the Permittee will provide reasonable access to copying services for which a
reasonable fee may be charged. The Permittee must notify the requester
within 10 days of receipt of the request where the plans and records may be
viewed and/or copied.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 20
S6. PERMIT FEES
The Permittee must pay permit fees assessed by Ecology. Fees for stormwater discharges covered
under this permit are established by Chapter 173-224 WAC. Ecology continues to assess permit
fees until the permit is terminated in accordance with Special Condition S10 or revoked in
accordance with General Condition G5.
S7. SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL
The Permittee must handle and dispose of solid and liquid wastes generated by construction
activity, such as demolition debris, construction materials, contaminated materials, and waste
materials from maintenance activities, including liquids and solids from cleaning catch basins and
other stormwater facilities, in accordance with:
A. Special Condition S3, Compliance with Standards.
B. WAC 173-216-110.
C. Other applicable regulations.
S8. DISCHARGES TO 303(d) OR TMDL WATERBODIES
A. Sampling and Numeric Effluent Limits For Certain Discharges to 303(d)-Listed
Water Bodies
1. Permittees who discharge to segments of water bodies listed as impaired by the State of
Washington under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act for turbidity, fine sediment,
high pH, or phosphorus, must conduct water quality sampling according to the
requirements of this section, and Special Conditions S4.C.2.b-f and S4.C.3.b-d, and must
comply with the applicable numeric effluent limitations in S8.C and S8.D.
2. All references and requirements associated with Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act
mean the most current listing by Ecology of impaired waters (Category 5) that exists on
January 1, 2021, or the date when the operator’s complete permit application is received
by Ecology, whichever is later.
B. Limits on Coverage for New Discharges to TMDL or 303(d)-Listed Waters
Construction sites that discharge to a TMDL or 303(d)-listed waterbody are not eligible for
coverage under this permit unless the operator:
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 21
1. Prevents exposing stormwater to pollutants for which the waterbody is impaired, and
retains documentation in the SWPPP that details procedures taken to prevent exposure
on site; or
2. Documents that the pollutants for which the waterbody is impaired are not present at
the site, and retains documentation of this finding within the SWPPP; or
3. Provides Ecology with data indicating the discharge is not expected to cause or
contribute to an exceedance of a water quality standard, and retains such data on site
with the SWPPP. The operator must provide data and other technical information to
Ecology that sufficiently demonstrate:
a. For discharges to waters without an EPA-approved or -established TMDL, that the
discharge of the pollutant for which the water is impaired will meet in-stream water
quality criteria at the point of discharge to the waterbody; or
b. For discharges to waters with an EPA-approved or -established TMDL, that there is
sufficient remaining wasteload allocation in the TMDL to allow construction
stormwater discharge and that existing dischargers to the waterbody are subject to
compliance schedules designed to bring the waterbody into attainment with water
quality standards.
Operators of construction sites are eligible for coverage under this permit only after
Ecology makes an affirmative determination that the discharge will not cause or
contribute to the existing impairment or exceed the TMDL.
C. Sampling and Numeric Effluent Limits for Discharges to Water Bodies on the 303(d) List
for Turbidity, Fine Sediment, or Phosphorus
1. Permittees who discharge to segments of water bodies on the 303(d) list (Category 5) for
turbidity, fine sediment, or phosphorus must conduct turbidity sampling in accordance
with Special Condition S4.C.2 and comply with either of the numeric effluent limits noted
in Table 5 below.
2. As an alternative to the 25 NTUs effluent limit noted in Table 5 below (applied at the
point where stormwater [or authorized non-stormwater] is discharged off-site),
Permittees may choose to comply with the surface water quality standard for turbidity.
The standard is: no more than 5 NTUs over background turbidity when the background
turbidity is 50 NTUs or less, or no more than a 10% increase in turbidity when the
background turbidity is more than 50 NTUs. In order to use the water quality standard
requirement, the sampling must take place at the following locations:
a. Background turbidity in the 303(d)-listed receiving water immediately upstream
(upgradient) or outside the area of influence of the discharge.
b. Turbidity at the point of discharge into the 303(d)-listed receiving water, inside the
area of influence of the discharge.
3. Discharges that exceed the numeric effluent limit for turbidity constitute a violation of
this permit.
4. Permittees whose discharges exceed the numeric effluent limit must sample discharges
daily until the violation is corrected and comply with the non-compliance notification
requirements in Special Condition S5.F.

requirements in Special Condition S5.F.
E. Sampling and Limits for Sites Discharging to Waters Covered by a TMDL or another
Pollution Control Plan
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 23
1. Discharges to a waterbody that is subject to a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for
turbidity, fine sediment, high pH, or phosphorus must be consistent with the TMDL. Refer
to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl/TMDLsbyWria/TMDLbyWria.html for
more information on TMDLs.
a. Where an applicable TMDL sets specific waste load allocations or requirements for
discharges covered by this permit, discharges must be consistent with any specific
waste load allocations or requirements established by the applicable TMDL.
i. The Permittee must sample discharges weekly, unless otherwise specified by
the TMDL, to evaluate compliance with the specific waste load allocations or
requirements.
ii. Analytical methods used to meet the monitoring requirements must conform
to the latest revision of the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the
Analysis of Pollutants contained in 40 CFR Part 136.
iii. Turbidity and pH methods need not be accredited or registered unless
conducted at a laboratory which must otherwise be accredited or registered.
b. Where an applicable TMDL has established a general waste load allocation for
construction stormwater discharges, but has not identified specific requirements,
compliance with Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will constitute
compliance with the approved TMDL.
c. Where an applicable TMDL has not specified a waste load allocation for construction
stormwater discharges, but has not excluded these discharges, compliance with
Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will constitute compliance with
the approved TMDL.
d. Where an applicable TMDL specifically precludes or prohibits discharges from
construction activity, the operator is not eligible for coverage under this permit.
S9. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee must prepare and properly implement an adequate Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activity in accordance with the requirements of this
permit beginning with initial soil disturbance and until final stabilization.
A. The Permittee’s SWPPP must meet the following objectives:
1. To identify best management practices (BMPs) which prevent erosion and sedimentation,
and to reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater contamination and water pollution from
construction activity.
2. To prevent violations of surface water quality, groundwater quality, or sediment
management standards.
3. To control peak volumetric flow rates and velocities of stormwater discharges.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 24
B. General Requirements
1. The SWPPP must include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs must be clearly referenced in
the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative must include
documentation to explain and justify the pollution prevention decisions made for the
project. Documentation must include:
a. Information about existing site conditions (topography, drainage, soils, vegetation, etc.).
b. Potential erosion problem areas.
c. The 13 elements of a SWPPP in Special Condition S9.D.1-13, including BMPs
used to address each element.
d. Construction phasing/sequence and general BMP implementation schedule.
e. The actions to be taken if BMP performance goals are not achieved—for example,
a contingency plan for additional treatment and/or storage of stormwater that
would violate the water quality standards if discharged.
f. Engineering calculations for ponds, treatment systems, and any other designed
structures. When a treatment system requires engineering calculations, these
calculations must be included in the SWPPP. Engineering calculations do not need to
be included in the SWPPP for treatment systems that do not require such calculations.
2. The Permittee must modify the SWPPP if, during inspections or investigations conducted
by the owner/operator, or the applicable local or state regulatory authority, it is
determined that the SWPPP is, or would be, ineffective in eliminating or significantly
minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharges from the site. The Permittee must then:
a. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the inspection or investigation.
b. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the problems no later
than 10 days from the inspection or investigation. If installation of necessary treatment
BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time when an
extension is requested by a Permittee within the initial 10-day response period.
c. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
The Permittee must modify the SWPPP whenever there is a change in design,
construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction site that has, or could have,
a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters of the State.
C. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)
BMPs must be consistent with:
1. Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (most current approved
edition at the time this permit was issued), for sites west of the crest of the Cascade
Mountains; or
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 25
2. Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (most current approved
edition at the time this permit was issued), for sites east of the crest of the Cascade
Mountains; or
3. Revisions to the manuals listed in Special Condition S9.C.1 & 2, or other stormwater
management guidance documents or manuals which provide an equivalent level of
pollution prevention, that are approved by Ecology and incorporated into this permit in
accordance with the permit modification requirements of WAC 173-226-230; or
4. Documentation in the SWPPP that the BMPs selected provide an equivalent level of
pollution prevention, compared to the applicable stormwater management manuals,
including:
a. The technical basis for the selection of all stormwater BMPs (scientific, technical studies,
and/or modeling) that support the performance claims for the BMPs being selected.
b. An assessment of how the selected BMP will satisfy AKART requirements and the
applicable federal technology-based treatment requirements under 40 CFR part 125.3.
D. SWPPP – Narrative Contents and Requirements
The Permittee must include each of the 13 elements below in Special Condition S9.D.1-13 in
the narrative of the SWPPP and implement them unless site conditions render the element
unnecessary and the exemption from that element is clearly justified in the SWPPP.
1. Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
a. Before beginning land-disturbing activities, including clearing and grading, clearly
mark all clearing limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, and trees that are to be
preserved within the construction area.
b. Retain the duff layer, native topsoil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed state
to the maximum degree practicable.
2. Establish Construction Access
a. Limit construction vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.
b. Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other equivalent
BMPs, to minimize tracking sediment onto roads.
c. Locate wheel wash or tire baths on site, if the stabilized construction entrance is not
effective in preventing tracking sediment onto roads.
d. If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end of
each day, or more frequently as necessary (for example, during wet weather).
Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or pickup and transport of the
sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area.
e. Conduct street washing only after sediment removal in accordance with Special
Condition S9.D.2.d.
f. Control street wash wastewater by pumping back on site or otherwise preventing it
from discharging into systems tributary to waters of the State.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 26
3. Control Flow Rates
a. Protect properties and waterways downstream of construction sites from erosion
and the associated discharge of turbid waters due to increases in the velocity and
peak volumetric flow rate of stormwater runoff from the project site, as required by
local plan approval authority.
b. Where necessary to comply with Special Condition S9.D.3.a, construct stormwater
infiltration or detention BMPs as one of the first steps in grading. Assure that
detention BMPs function properly before constructing site improvements (for
example, impervious surfaces).
c. If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction,
protect these facilities from sedimentation during the construction phase.
4. Install Sediment Controls
The Permittee must design, install and maintain effective erosion controls and sediment
controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants. At a minimum, the Permittee must:
a. Construct sediment control BMPs (sediment ponds, traps, filters, infiltration
facilities, etc.) as one of the first steps in grading. These BMPs must be functional
before other land disturbing activities take place.
b. Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design, installation and
maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must address factors such as the
amount, frequency, intensity and duration of precipitation, the nature of resulting
stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics, including the range of soil particle sizes
expected to be present on the site.
c. Direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas through a sediment pond or other
appropriate sediment removal BMP, before the runoff leaves a construction site or
before discharge to an infiltration facility. Runoff from fully stabilized areas may be
discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must meet the flow control
performance standard of Special Condition S9.D.3.a.
d. Locate BMPs intended to trap sediment on site in a manner to avoid interference
with the movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or
drainages.
e. Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to
vegetated areas to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater
infiltration, unless infeasible.
f. Where feasible, design outlet structures that withdraw impounded stormwater
from the surface to avoid discharging sediment that is still suspended lower in the
water column.
5. Stabilize Soils
a. The Permittee must stabilize exposed and unworked soils by application of effective
BMPs that prevent erosion. Applicable BMPs include, but are not limited to:
temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic covering, erosion
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 27
control fabrics and matting, soil application of polyacrylamide (PAM), the early
application of gravel base on areas to be paved, and dust control.
b. The Permittee must control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to
minimize soil erosion.
c. The Permittee must control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates
and total stormwater volume, to minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize
downstream channel and stream bank erosion.
d. Depending on the geographic location of the project, the Permittee must not allow
soils to remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set forth
below to prevent erosion.
West of the Cascade Mountains Crest
During the dry season (May 1 - September 30): 7 days
During the wet season (October 1 - April 30): 2 days
East of the Cascade Mountains Crest, except for Central Basin*
During the dry season (July 1 - September 30): 10 days
During the wet season (October 1 - June 30): 5 days
The Central Basin*, East of the Cascade Mountains Crest
During the dry Season (July 1 - September 30): 30 days
During the wet season (October 1 - June 30): 15 days
*Note: The Central Basin is defined as the portions of Eastern Washington
with mean annual precipitation of less than 12 inches.
e. The Permittee must stabilize soils at the end of the shift before a holiday or
weekend if needed based on the weather forecast.
f. The Permittee must stabilize soil stockpiles from erosion, protected with sediment
trapping measures, and where possible, be located away from storm drain inlets,
waterways, and drainage channels.
g. The Permittee must minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity.
h. The Permittee must minimize the disturbance of steep slopes.
i. The Permittee must minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil.
6. Protect Slopes
a. The Permittee must design and construct cut-and-fill slopes in a manner to minimize
erosion. Applicable practices include, but are not limited to, reducing continuous
length of slope with terracing and diversions, reducing slope steepness, and
roughening slope surfaces (for example, track walking).
b. The Permittee must divert off-site stormwater (run-on) or groundwater away from
slopes and disturbed areas with interceptor dikes, pipes, and/or swales. Off-site
stormwater should be managed separately from stormwater generated on the site.
c. At the top of slopes, collect drainage in pipe slope drains or protected channels to
prevent erosion.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 28
i. West of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Temporary pipe slope drains must handle
the peak 10-minute flow rate from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm
for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour flow rate
predicted by an approved continuous runoff model, increased by a factor of 1.6,
may be used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition
for predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the project limits. For
tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use the temporary or
permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow
rates. If using the Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) to predict
flows, bare soil areas should be modeled as "landscaped area.”
ii. East of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Temporary pipe slope drains must handle
the expected peak flow rate from a 6-month, 3-hour storm for the developed
condition, referred to as the short duration storm.
d. Place excavated material on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with safety and
space considerations.
e. Place check dams at regular intervals within constructed channels that are cut down
a slope.
7. Protect Drain Inlets
a. Protect all storm drain inlets made operable during construction so that stormwater
runoff does not enter the conveyance system without first being filtered or treated
to remove sediment.
b. Clean or remove and replace inlet protection devices when sediment has filled one-
third of the available storage (unless a different standard is specified by the product
manufacturer).
8. Stabilize Channels and Outlets
a. Design, construct and stabilize all on-site conveyance channels to prevent erosion
from the following expected peak flows:
i. West of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Channels must handle the peak 10-
minute flow rate from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the
developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour flow rate indicated by
an approved continuous runoff model, increased by a factor of 1.6, may be
used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition for
predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the project limits. For
tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use the temporary or
permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest
flow rates. If using the WWHM to predict flows, bare soil areas should be
modeled as "landscaped area.”
ii. East of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Channels must handle the expected peak
flow rate from a 6-month, 3-hour storm for the developed condition, referred
to as the short duration storm.
b. Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion of
outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream reaches at the outlets of all
conveyance systems.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 29
9. Control Pollutants
Design, install, implement and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to
minimize the discharge of pollutants. The Permittee must:
a. Handle and dispose of all pollutants, including waste materials and demolition
debris that occur on site in a manner that does not cause contamination of
stormwater.
b. Provide cover, containment, and protection from vandalism for all chemicals, liquid
products, petroleum products, and other materials that have the potential to pose a
threat to human health or the environment. Minimize storage of hazardous
materials on-site. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) should be supplied for all materials
stored. Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled containers. On-site fueling
tanks must include secondary containment. Secondary containment means placing
tanks or containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of
the volume of the largest tank within the containment structure. Double-walled
tanks do not require additional secondary containment.
c. Conduct maintenance, fueling, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles using
spill prevention and control measures. Clean contaminated surfaces immediately
following any spill incident.
d. Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site treatment
system that prevents discharge to surface water, such as closed-loop recirculation
or upland land application, or to the sanitary sewer with local sewer district
approval.
e. Apply fertilizers and pesticides in a manner and at application rates that will not
result in loss of chemical to stormwater runoff. Follow manufacturers’ label
requirements for application rates and procedures.
f. Use BMPs to prevent contamination of stormwater runoff by pH-modifying sources.
The sources for this contamination include, but are not limited to: bulk cement,
cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete washing and curing waters, recycled
concrete stockpiles, waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing,
exposed aggregate processes, dewatering concrete vaults, concrete pumping and
mixer washout waters. (Also refer to the definition for "concrete wastewater" in
Appendix A – Definitions.)
g. Adjust the pH of stormwater or authorized non-stormwater if necessary to prevent
an exceedance of groundwater and/or surface water quality standards.
h. Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in designated
concrete washout areas only. Do not wash out concrete truck drums onto the
ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams. Washout of small
concrete handling equipment may be disposed of in a formed area awaiting
concrete where it will not contaminate surface or groundwater. Do not dump excess
concrete on site, except in designated concrete washout areas. Concrete spillage or
concrete discharge directly to groundwater or surface waters of the State is
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 30
prohibited. At no time shall concrete be washed off into the footprint of an area
where an infiltration BMP will be installed.
i. Obtain written approval from Ecology before using any chemical treatment, with
the exception of CO2, dry ice or food grade vinegar, to adjust pH.
j. Uncontaminated water from water-only based shaft drilling for construction of
building, road, and bridge foundations may be infiltrated provided the wastewater is
managed in a way that prohibits discharge to surface waters. Prior to infiltration,
water from water-only based shaft drilling that comes into contact with curing
concrete must be neutralized until pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su).
10. Control Dewatering
a. Permittees must discharge foundation, vault, and trench dewatering water, which
have characteristics similar to stormwater runoff at the site, in conjunction with BMPs
to reduce sedimentation before discharge to a sediment trap or sediment pond.
b. Permittees may discharge clean, non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-point
groundwater, to systems tributary to, or directly into surface waters of the State, as
specified in Special Condition S9.D.8, provided the dewatering flow does not cause
erosion or flooding of receiving waters. Do not route clean dewatering water through
stormwater sediment ponds. Note that “surface waters of the State” may exist on a
construction site as well as off site; for example, a creek running through a site.
c. Other dewatering treatment or disposal options may include:
i. Infiltration
ii. Transport off site in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in
a manner that does not pollute state waters.
iii. Ecology-approved on-site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment
technologies (See S9.D.9.i, regarding chemical treatment written approval).
iv. Sanitary or combined sewer discharge with local sewer district approval, if
there is no other option.
v. Use of a sedimentation bag with discharge to a ditch or swale for small
volumes of localized dewatering.
d. Permittees must handle highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water separately
from stormwater.
11. Maintain BMPs
a. Permittees must maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and
sediment control BMPs as needed to assure continued performance of their
intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
b. Permittees must remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs within
30 days after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no
longer needed.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 31
12. Manage the Project
a. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into
account seasonal work limitations.
b. Inspect, maintain and repair all BMPs as needed to assure continued performance
of their intended function. Conduct site inspections and monitoring in accordance
with Special Condition S4.
c. Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP in accordance with Special Conditions
S3, S4, and S9.
13. Protect Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs
The primary purpose of on-site LID Stormwater Management is to reduce the disruption of
the natural site hydrology through infiltration. LID BMPs are permanent facilities.
a. Permittees must protect all LID BMPs (including, but not limited to, Bioretention and
Rain Garden facilities) from sedimentation through installation and maintenance of
erosion and sediment control BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the
Bioretention and/or Rain Garden facilities. Restore the BMPs to their fully
functioning condition if they accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring
the facility must include removal of sediment and any sediment-laden bioretention/
rain garden soils, and replacing the removed soils with soils meeting the design
specification.
b. Permittees must maintain the infiltration capabilities of LID BMPs by protecting
against compaction by construction equipment and foot traffic. Protect completed
lawn and landscaped areas from compaction due to construction equipment.
c. Permittees must control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from surrounding
land uses onto permeable pavements. Do not allow muddy construction equipment
on the base material or pavement. Do not allow sediment-laden runoff onto
permeable pavements or base materials.
d. Permittees must clean permeable pavements fouled with sediments or no longer
passing an initial infiltration test using local stormwater manual methodology or the
manufacturer’s procedures.
e. Permittees must keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under LID BMPs that
have been excavated to final grade to retain the infiltration rate of the soils.
E. SWPPP – Map Contents and Requirements
The Permittee’s SWPPP must also include a vicinity map or general location map (for example,
a USGS quadrangle map, a portion of a county or city map, or other appropriate map) with
enough detail to identify the location of the construction site and receiving waters within one
mile of the site.
The SWPPP must also include a legible site map (or maps) showing the entire construction site.
The following features must be identified, unless not applicable due to site conditions.
1. The direction of north, property lines, and existing structures and roads.
2. Cut and fill slopes indicating the top and bottom of slope catch lines.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 32
3. Approximate slopes, contours, and direction of stormwater flow before and after major
grading activities.
4. Areas of soil disturbance and areas that will not be disturbed.
5. Locations of structural and nonstructural controls (BMPs) identified in the SWPPP.
6. Locations of off-site material, stockpiles, waste storage, borrow areas, and
vehicle/equipment storage areas.
7. Locations of all surface water bodies, including wetlands.
8. Locations where stormwater or non-stormwater discharges off-site and/or to a surface
waterbody, including wetlands.
9. Location of water quality sampling station(s), if sampling is required by state or local
permitting authority.
10. Areas where final stabilization has been accomplished and no further construction-phase
permit requirements apply.
11. Location or proposed location of LID facilities.
S10. NOTICE OF TERMINATION
Partial terminations of permit coverage are not authorized.
A. The site is eligible for termination of coverage when it has met any of the following
conditions:
1. The site has undergone final stabilization, the Permittee has removed all temporary
BMPs (except biodegradable BMPs clearly manufactured with the intention for the
material to be left in place and not interfere with maintenance or land use), and all
stormwater discharges associated with construction activity have been eliminated; or
2. All portions of the site that have not undergone final stabilization per Special Condition
S10.A.1 have been sold and/or transferred (per Special Condition S2.A), and the
Permittee no longer has operational control of the construction activity; or
3. For residential construction only, the Permittee has completed temporary stabilization
and the homeowners have taken possession of the residences.
B. When the site is eligible for termination, the Permittee must submit a complete and
accurate Notice of Termination (NOT) form, signed in accordance with General
Condition G2, to:
Department of Ecology
Water Quality Program - Construction Stormwater
PO Box 47696
Olympia, WA 98504-7696
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 33
When an electronic termination form is available, the Permittee may choose to submit a
complete and accurate Notice of Termination (NOT) form through the Water Quality Permitting
Portal rather than mailing a hardcopy as noted above.
The termination is effective on the 31st calendar day following the date Ecology receives a
complete NOT form, unless Ecology notifies the Permittee that termination request is denied
because the Permittee has not met the eligibility requirements in Special Condition S10.A.
Permittees are required to comply with all conditions and effluent limitations in the permit
until the permit has been terminated.
Permittees transferring the property to a new property owner or operator/Permittee are
required to complete and submit the Notice of Transfer form to Ecology, but are not required
to submit a Notice of Termination form for this type of transaction.

revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated
noncompliance does not relieve the Permittee of the duty to comply with the existing permit until
it is modified or reissued.
G7. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND STATUTES
Nothing in this permit will be construed as excusing the Permittee from compliance with any
applicable federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations.
G8. DUTY TO REAPPLY
The Permittee must apply for permit renewal at least 180 days prior to the specified expiration
date of this permit. The Permittee must reapply using the electronic application form (NOI)

permit by administrative order or permit modification.
G13. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING PERMIT CONDITIONS
Any person who is found guilty of willfully violating the terms and conditions of this permit shall be
deemed guilty of a crime, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of up to ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) and costs of prosecution, or by imprisonment at the discretion of the
court. Each day upon which a willful violation occurs may be deemed a separate and additional
violation.
Any person who violates the terms and conditions of a waste discharge permit shall incur, in
addition to any other penalty as provided by law, a civil penalty in the amount of up to ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) for every such violation. Each and every such violation shall be a
separate and distinct offense, and in case of a continuing violation, every day’s continuance shall be
deemed to be a separate and distinct violation.
G14. UPSET
Definition – “Upset” means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of the following paragraph are met.
A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset must demonstrate, through
properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that: 1) an upset
occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; 2) the permitted facility was
being properly operated at the time of the upset; 3) the Permittee submitted notice of the upset as
required in Special Condition S5.F, and; 4) the Permittee complied with any remedial measures
required under this permit.
In any enforcement proceeding, the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
G15. PROPERTY RIGHTS
This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
G16. DUTY TO COMPLY
The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit
termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 38
G17. TOXIC POLLUTANTS
The Permittee must comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section
307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that
establish those standards or prohibitions, even if this permit has not yet been modified to
incorporate the requirement.
G18. PENALTIES FOR TAMPERING
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders
inaccurate any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon
conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not
more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation committed
after a first conviction of such person under this condition, punishment shall be a fine of not more
than $20,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment of not more than four (4) years, or both.
G19. REPORTING PLANNED CHANGES
The Permittee must, as soon as possible, give notice to Ecology of planned physical alterations,
modifications or additions to the permitted construction activity. The Permittee should be aware
that, depending on the nature and size of the changes to the original permit, a new public notice
and other permit process requirements may be required. Changes in activities that require
reporting to Ecology include those that will result in:
A. The permitted facility being determined to be a new source pursuant to 40 CFR 122.29(b).
B. A significant change in the nature or an increase in quantity of pollutants discharged,
including but not limited to: a 20% or greater increase in acreage disturbed by construction
activity.
C. A change in or addition of surface water(s) receiving stormwater or non-stormwater from
the construction activity.
D. A change in the construction plans and/or activity that affects the Permittee’s monitoring
requirements in Special Condition S4.
Following such notice, permit coverage may be modified, or revoked and reissued pursuant to 40
CFR 122.62(a) to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. Until such modification is
effective, any new or increased discharge in excess of permit limits or not specifically authorized by
this permit constitutes a violation.
G20. REPORTING OTHER INFORMATION
Where the Permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit
application, or submitted incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to Ecology,
it must promptly submit such facts or information.
G21. REPORTING ANTICIPATED NON-COMPLIANCE
The Permittee must give advance notice to Ecology by submission of a new application or
supplement thereto at least forty-five (45) days prior to commencement of such discharges, of any
facility expansions, production increases, or other planned changes, such as process modifications,
in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit limits or
conditions. Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 39
operation and degradation of effluent quality, must be scheduled during non-critical water quality
periods and carried out in a manner approved by Ecology.
G22. REQUESTS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THE PERMIT
Any discharger authorized by this permit may request to be excluded from coverage under the
general permit by applying for an individual permit. The discharger must submit to the Director an
application as described in WAC 173-220-040 or WAC 173-216-070, whichever is applicable, with
reasons supporting the request. These reasons will fully document how an individual permit will
apply to the applicant in a way that the general permit cannot. Ecology may make specific requests
for information to support the request. The Director will either issue an individual permit or deny
the request with a statement explaining the reason for the denial. When an individual permit is
issued to a discharger otherwise subject to the construction stormwater general permit, the
applicability of the construction stormwater general permit to that Permittee is automatically
terminated on the effective date of the individual permit.
G23. APPEALS
A. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to the appropriate class of
dischargers, are subject to appeal by any person within 30 days of issuance of this general
permit, in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW, and Chapter 173-226 WAC.
B. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to an individual discharger,
are appealable in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW within 30 days of the effective date
of coverage of that discharger. Consideration of an appeal of general permit coverage of an
individual discharger is limited to the general permit’s applicability or nonapplicability to
that individual discharger.
C. The appeal of general permit coverage of an individual discharger does not affect any other
dischargers covered under this general permit. If the terms and conditions of this general
permit are found to be inapplicable to any individual discharger(s), the matter shall be
remanded to Ecology for consideration of issuance of an individual permit or permits.
G24. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit, or application of any
provision of this permit to any circumstance, is held invalid, the application of such provision to
other circumstances, and the remainder of this permit shall not be affected thereby.
G25. BYPASS PROHIBITED
A. Bypass Procedures
Bypass, which is the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility, is prohibited for stormwater events below the design criteria for stormwater
management. Ecology may take enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass unless one
of the following circumstances (1, 2, 3 or 4) is applicable.
1. Bypass of stormwater is consistent with the design criteria and part of an approved
management practice in the applicable stormwater management manual.
2. Bypass for essential maintenance without the potential to cause violation of permit limits
or conditions.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 40
Bypass is authorized if it is for essential maintenance and does not have the potential to
cause violations of limitations or other conditions of this permit, or adversely impact
public health.
3. Bypass of stormwater is unavoidable, unanticipated, and results in noncompliance of this
permit.
This bypass is permitted only if:
a. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property
damage. “Severe property damage” means substantial physical damage to property,
damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable,
or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.
b. There are no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime (but not if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a
bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or
preventative maintenance), or transport of untreated wastes to another treatment
facility.
c. Ecology is properly notified of the bypass as required in Special Condition S5.F of
this permit.
4. A planned action that would cause bypass of stormwater and has the potential to result
in noncompliance of this permit during a storm event.
The Permittee must notify Ecology at least thirty (30) days before the planned date of
bypass. The notice must contain:
a. A description of the bypass and its cause
b. An analysis of all known alternatives which would eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the
need for bypassing.
c. A cost-effectiveness analysis of alternatives including comparative resource damage
assessment.
d. The minimum and maximum duration of bypass under each alternative.
e. A recommendation as to the preferred alternative for conducting the bypass.
f. The projected date of bypass initiation.
g. A statement of compliance with SEPA.
h. A request for modification of water quality standards as provided for in WAC 173-
201A-110, if an exceedance of any water quality standard is anticipated.
i. Steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the
bypass.
5. For probable construction bypasses, the need to bypass is to be identified as early in the
planning process as possible. The analysis required above must be considered during
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 41
preparation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and must be included
to the extent practical. In cases where the probable need to bypass is determined early,
continued analysis is necessary up to and including the construction period in an effort to
minimize or eliminate the bypass.
Ecology will consider the following before issuing an administrative order for this type
bypass:
a. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related activities
essential to meet the requirements of this permit.
b. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance during
normal periods of equipment down time, or transport of untreated wastes to
another treatment facility.
c. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public and
the environment.
After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass and any
other relevant factors, Ecology will approve, conditionally approve, or deny the request.
The public must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on bypass incidents of
significant duration, to the extent feasible. Approval of a request to bypass will be by
administrative order issued by Ecology under RCW 90.48.120.
B. Duty to Mitigate
The Permittee is required to take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge or
sludge use or disposal in violation of this permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely
affecting human health or the environment.

an administrative order by Ecology, or through a modification of permit coverage.
Applicant means an operator seeking coverage under this permit.
Benchmark means a pollutant concentration used as a permit threshold, below which a pollutant is
considered unlikely to cause a water quality violation, and above which it may. When pollutant
concentrations exceed benchmarks, corrective action requirements take effect. Benchmark values are
not water quality standards and are not numeric effluent limitations; they are indicator values.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) means schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures, and other physical, structural and/or managerial practices to prevent or
reduce the pollution of waters of the State. BMPs include treatment systems, operating procedures, and

separate owners (e.g., a development where lots are sold to separate builders); 2) a development plan
that may be phased over multiple years, but is still under a consistent plan for long-term development;
3) projects in a contiguous area that may be unrelated but still under the same contract, such as
construction of a building extension and a new parking lot at the same facility; and 4) linear projects
such as roads, pipelines, or utilities. If the project is part of a common plan of development or sale, the
disturbed area of the entire plan must be used in determining permit requirements.
Composite Sample means a mixture of grab samples collected at the same sampling point at different
times, formed either by continuous sampling or by mixing discrete samples. May be "time-composite"

aliquot as the flow increases while maintaining a constant time interval between the aliquots.
Concrete Wastewater means any water used in the production, pouring and/or clean-up of concrete or
concrete products, and any water used to cut, grind, wash, or otherwise modify concrete or concrete
products. Examples include water used for or resulting from concrete truck/mixer/pumper/tool/chute
rinsing or washing, concrete saw cutting and surfacing (sawing, coring, grinding, roughening, hydro-
demolition, bridge and road surfacing). When stormwater comingles with concrete wastewater, the
resulting water is considered concrete wastewater and must be managed to prevent discharge to waters
of the State, including groundwater.
Construction Activity means land disturbing operations including clearing, grading or excavation which
disturbs the surface of the land (including off-site disturbance acreage related to construction-support
activity). Such activities may include road construction, construction of residential houses, office
buildings, or industrial buildings, site preparation, soil compaction, movement and stockpiling of
topsoils, and demolition activity.
Construction Support Activity means off-site acreage that will be disturbed as a direct result of the
construction project and will discharge stormwater. For example, off-site equipment staging yards,
material storage areas, borrow areas, and parking areas.
Contaminant means any hazardous substance that does not occur naturally or occurs at greater than
natural background levels. See definition of “hazardous substance” and WAC 173-340-200.
Contaminated soil means soil which contains contaminants, pollutants, or hazardous substances that do
not occur naturally or occur at levels greater than natural background.
Contaminated groundwater means groundwater which contains contaminants, pollutants, or hazardous
substances that do not occur naturally or occur at levels greater than natural background.
Demonstrably Equivalent means that the technical basis for the selection of all stormwater BMPs is

agents, including such processes as gravitational creep.
Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs means BMPs intended to prevent erosion and sedimentation, such as
preserving natural vegetation, seeding, mulching and matting, plastic covering, filter fences, sediment traps,
and ponds. Erosion and sediment control BMPs are synonymous with stabilization and structural BMPs.
Federal Operator is an entity that meets the definition of “Operator” in this permit and is either any
department, agency or instrumentality of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal
government of the United States, or another entity, such as a private contractor, performing
construction activity for any such department, agency, or instrumentality.
Final Stabilization (same as fully stabilized or full stabilization) means the completion of all soil
disturbing activities at the site and the establishment of permanent vegetative cover, or equivalent

• The party has day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are necessary to
ensure compliance with a SWPPP for the site or other permit conditions (e.g., they are
authorized to direct workers at a site to carry out activities required by the SWPPP or comply
with other permit conditions).
Permittee means individual or entity that receives notice of coverage under this general permit.
pH means a liquid’s measure of acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is defined as neutral. Large variations
above or below this value are considered harmful to most aquatic life.

the CWA, nor does it include dredged or fill material discharged in accordance with a permit issued
under section 404 of the CWA.
Pollution means contamination or other alteration of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of
waters of the State; including change in temperature, taste, color, turbidity, or odor of the waters; or
such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive or other substance into any waters of the State
as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful, detrimental or injurious to the
public health, safety or welfare; or to domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, or
other legitimate beneficial uses; or to livestock, wild animals, birds, fish or other aquatic life.
Process Wastewater means any non-stormwater which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into
direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product,
finished product, byproduct, or waste product. If stormwater commingles with process wastewater, the
commingled water is considered process wastewater.
Receiving Water means the waterbody at the point of discharge. If the discharge is to a storm sewer
system, either surface or subsurface, the receiving water is the waterbody to which the storm system
discharges. Systems designed primarily for other purposes such as for groundwater drainage, redirecting
stream natural flows, or for conveyance of irrigation water/return flows that coincidentally convey
stormwater are considered the receiving water.
Representative means a stormwater or wastewater sample which represents the flow and

with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are
established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application
requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in
accordance with corporate procedures (40 CFR 122.22).
Sanitary Sewer means a sewer which is designed to convey domestic wastewater.
Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 47
Sediment means the fragmented material that originates from the weathering and erosion of rocks or
unconsolidated deposits, and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by water.

temporary and permanent seeding, vegetative covers, mulching and matting, plastic covering and
sodding. See also the definition of Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs.
Storm Drain means any drain which drains directly into a storm sewer system, usually found along
roadways or in parking lots.
Storm Sewer System means a means a conveyance, or system of conveyances (including roads with
drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, manmade channels, or storm
drains designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater. This does not include systems which are
part of a combined sewer or Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), as defined at 40 CFR 122.2.
Stormwater means that portion of precipitation that does not naturally percolate into the ground or
evaporate, but flows via overland flow, interflow, pipes, and other features of a stormwater drainage
system into a defined surface waterbody, or a constructed infiltration facility.

materials to provide temporary stabilization of the surface from water or wind erosion. Materials
include, but are not limited to, mulch, riprap, erosion control mats or blankets and temporary cover
crops. Seeding alone is not considered stabilization. Temporary stabilization is not a substitute for the
more permanent “final stabilization.”
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) means a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a
waterbody can receive and still meet state water quality standards. Percentages of the total maximum
daily load are allocated to the various pollutant sources. A TMDL is the sum of the allowable loads of a
single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources. The TMDL calculations must include a
"margin of safety" to ensure that the waterbody can be protected in case there are unforeseen events
or unknown sources of the pollutant. The calculation must also account for seasonable variation in
water quality.
Transfer of Coverage (TOC) means a request for transfer of coverage under this general permit as

of treatment BMPs are detention ponds, oil/water separators, biofiltration, and constructed wetlands.
Transparency means a measurement of water clarity in centimeters (cm), using a 60 cm transparency
tube. The transparency tube is used to estimate the relative clarity or transparency of water by noting
the depth at which a black and white Secchi disc becomes visible when water is released from a value in
the bottom of the tube. A transparency tube is sometimes referred to as a “turbidity tube.”
Turbidity means the clarity of water expressed as nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) and measured
with a calibrated turbidimeter.
Uncontaminated means free from any contaminant. See definition of “contaminant” and WAC 173-340-200.
Upset means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,
improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) means the portion of a receiving water’s loading capacity that is allocated
to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution. WLAs constitute a type of water quality based
effluent limitation (40 CFR 130.2[h]).
Water-Only Based Shaft Drilling is a shaft drilling process that uses water only and no additives are
involved in the drilling of shafts for construction of building, road, or bridge foundations.
Water Quality means the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water, usually with respect
to its suitability for a particular purpose.
Waters of the State includes those waters as defined as "waters of the United States" in 40 CFR Subpart
122.2 within the geographic boundaries of Washington State and "waters of the State" as defined in
Chapter 90.48 RCW, which include lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, inland waters, underground waters, salt

waters, and all other surface waters and water courses within the jurisdiction of the state of
Washington.
Well means a bored, drilled or driven shaft, or dug hole whose depth is greater than the largest surface
dimension. (See Injection Well.)
Wheel Wash Wastewater means any water used in, or resulting from the operation of, a tire bath or
wheel wash (BMP C106: Wheel Wash), or other structure or practice that uses water to physically
remove mud and debris from vehicles leaving a construction site and prevent track-out onto roads.
When stormwater comingles with wheel wash wastewater, the resulting water is considered wheel
wash wastewater and must be managed according to Special Condition S9.D.9.

Soil Management Plan
Introduction
This soil management plan (SMP) provides soil handling recommendations for
construction and maintenance activities for the transportation project called the Park
Avenue North Extension project within the City of Renton, WA (herein referred to as the
“project”). The plan includes a summary of activities that have taken place at the site,
with proposed mitigation as needed. The entire project includes properties within the City
of Renton’s right of way, the BNSF railway right of way, Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
property, and The Boeing Company property. Permanent easements and temporary
construction easements will be acquired by the City of Renton for project construction
and maintenance purposes.
This SMP provides guidance to the City of Renton (City) employees and other
contractors that will perform earthwork activities at the subject project site, specifically
within The Boeing Company-owned property. The objectives of this plan are to (A)
disclose the potential presence of potential contaminants of concern (COCs); (B)
minimize risks to worker health/safety and the surrounding environment; and (C) outline
general procedures for separating, handling, and disposing of contaminated soil if
encountered during construction activities. This plan will be reviewed by The Boeing
Company (Boeing)’s point of contact for approval prior to the execution of easements on
Boeing property.
Site Description
The project site is located in the City of Renton in King County, WA at the Logan Ave
N/Southport Dr N and Park Ave N intersection and the 757th Ave N and Park Ave N T-
junction. It is located within Section 8 of Township 23 N and Range 5 E. The Boeing
Company specifically owns parcel 0886600060, on which the City of Renton will have a
permanent easement and a temporary construction easement in order to complete the
project work. This document also applies to the project location within Boeing Property at
the eastern end of 7th Avenue, near Logan Avenue North.
Health and Safety
Excavation and other major construction activities involving suspected contaminated soil
shall be conducted by Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
(HAZWOPER) trained personnel.
Documentation
Information regarding the location and characteristics of test-confirmed contaminated
soils shall be documented in a notification form (as attached in Appendix A) so that
future activities completed in those areas can be appropriately planned with regard to
health and safety, characterization, and soil management. Forms should include: the
date and time of discovery, the location of the soil, dimensions or volume of excavation,
a physical description of the soil encountered, and the actions taken. Reports should be
filed with local and state agencies and the Boeing point of contact should be notified of
any suspected contamination stemming from Boeing-derived soils.
Soil Characterization and Management
Soils excavated for this project will be stockpiled and segregated according to its
overlying property ownership. Therefore, Boeing-property generated soils will not be co-
mingled with non-Boeing property generated soils. Field screening methods will be used
Park Avenue North Extension Project 4
Soil Management Plan
(including visual examination, water sheen testing, and headspace vapor testing using a
photoionization detector (PID)) and soil samples will be collected as needed from these
segregated soil stockpiles to evaluate their suitability for reuse as backfill. All on site
soils removed during excavation will be used as backfill unless suspected of
contamination or soil is unsuitable for City’s project use.
Representative soil samples will be submitted for laboratory chemical analysis to
characterize environmental conditions. Based on the surrounding land history, COCs
could include, but not be limited to: petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), VOCs, SVOCs,
metals, PAHs, and PCBs. Soils will be considered contaminated if:
• contaminant concentrations for any analyte exceed MTCA Method A Unrestricted
Land Use cleanup criteria;
• contaminant concentrations meet or exceed dangerous waste and dangerous
waste source criteria as defined in WAC 173-303;
• metals exceed RCRA regulatory levels; or
• physical evidence of contamination (sheen, odor, staining) is observed, unless
additional chemical analysis is performed to further categorize the soil.
Soils will be considered as “clean” if contaminants are not detected for any analyte at
concentrations that exceed the respective reporting limit, and physical evidence of
contamination (such as sheen, odor, or staining) is not observed.
Soil categorized as dangerous waste or contaminated soils can be either loaded directly
into trucks and transported for off-site permitted disposal, or can be temporarily
stockpiled on plastic sheeting (such as Visqueen) or in designated, sealed containers on
the project site, pending disposal or evaluation for reuse (See below for specific
reporting and disposal requirements for all Boeing property-generated soils). Containers
will be inspected regularly to ensure they remain environmentally clean. All stockpiled
soils will be appropriately covered unless being moved or added to during on site work
(defined as any activity involving physical alteration of the easement area for the
purposes of initiating or continuing construction) and during any off-site transportation.
Stockpiles on plastic sheeting will be surrounded by sandbags and all stockpiles (not
being worked) will be covered with plastic sheeting to minimize contaminant runoff,
leaching, and wind transport.
Acceptable use of contaminated soil depends on the detected contaminants and
concentrations. All dangerous waste shall be disposed of at an off-site, approved landfill.
During project construction, backfilling of excavations will be first made with site soils
removed during excavation, unless the soils are contaminated or not suitable for project
use.
Boeing Property-Generated Soils
Soils excavated within the easement areas on The Boeing Company-owned properties
will also have the following procedures attached to their handling and disposal:
• If contamination is suspected, the Boeing point of contact will be notified
• Work within the perimeter of suspected contamination will be stopped
temporarily. Contractor will be directed to work in areas not within the suspected
contamination.
• Boeing soils will not be co-mingled with soils from other locations for disposal
purposes. Stockpiles will be separated and protected.
Park Avenue North Extension Project 5
Soil Management Plan
• Sampling of suspected contaminated soils for disposal purposes will only be
made after excavation and after a landfill disposal facility has been approved by
both the City and Boeing.
• City will notify the Boeing point of contact of soil analytical/waste profiling results
prior to the disposal of soils off-site
• City will notify the Boeing point of contact of the selected disposal facility in
advance of soil disposal
• Boeing-generated soils will be disposed of in the following order of preference:
• Landfill as alternate daily cover
• Direct landfill disposal as waste
• City is prohibited from disposing of Boeing property soils for any
unrestricted or sensitive re-use or other non-landfill disposal purposes
• City will manage and provide appropriate disposal of all investigative-derived
waste to an appropriate landfill, including any soil and wastewater not already
addressed above
• City will provide import fill profile data for environmental contaminants to the
Boeing point of contact at least one week in advance for all imported soil or
structural fill placed in the Easement Area. Boeing will respond within five days of
receipt and will not unreasonably withhold approval.
• Imported soil or structural fill with soil components must Washington MTCA
Method A Unrestricted Land Use Criteria for the following analytes:
• NWTPH (full range gas to heavy) + benzene
• VOCs (EPA Method 8260B)
• RCRA 8 metals + copper (Cu)
• Advance approval is not required for crushed rock or landscaping topsoil if these
meet applicable Washington Model Toxic Control Act requirements.
Equipment
Excavation equipment used to handle contaminated soils and vehicles driven over on-
site fill shall be decontaminated at a designated vehicle wash area before exiting the
site. Any decontamination water shall be contained onsite, sampled for COCs, and
appropriately disposed of.
Trucks used to transport contaminated soil offsite shall be covered with tarps to minimize
wind-blown loss of contaminated materials.
Dust Control
Dust from the project site will be minimized by clearing only those areas where
immediate activity will take place, maintaining original ground cover as long as practical,
and spraying exposed surfaces with water or other suitable palliative as necessary
(ensuring it will not leave the site as surface runoff).
Contact Information
If unexpected potentially contaminated soils, undocumented underground storage tanks
(USTs) or potentially contaminated groundwater is discovered during construction
activities, the contractor shall notify the City. If an undocumented UST is discovered, the
Ecology Toxics Cleanup Program and the Renton Regional Fire Authority shall also be
immediately notified. The below table provides contact information to be used in these
scenarios.

Park Avenue North Extension Project 2
Construction Water Management Plan
Introduction
This construction water management plan provides wastewater handling recommendations for
construction and maintenance activities for the transportation project called the Park Avenue
North Extension project within the City of Renton, WA (herein referred to as the “project”). The
plan includes a summary of activities that have taken place at the site, with proposed mitigation
as needed. The entire project includes properties within the City of Renton’s right of way, the
BNSF railway right of way, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) property, and The Boeing Company
property. Permanent easements and temporary construction easements will be acquired by the
City of Renton for project construction and maintenance purposes.
This purpose of this plan is to address methods for management and disposal of wastewater
generated by the project.
The project work includes the following elements:
• The extension of Park Ave N to north of the BNSF Railroad tracks that are located
between 757th Ave and Puget Sound Energy Property
• Construction of a pedestrian sidewalk below an existing trestle bridge northeast of
the Lake Washington Blvd/Garden Ave N and N Southport Dr intersection.
• clearing and grubbing
• relocation of Boeing’s electrical distribution system
• paving of roadway, sidewalk, curbs and gutters
• stormwater conveyance system installation
• signalization and signage installation
• construction of a railroad crossing
• casing installation for sanitary sewer and water
• illumination installation
• landscaping
• slope protection
• underground utility relocation within a duct bank
• in-kind trestle bridge replacement
The project site is located in the City of Renton in King County, WA at the Logan Ave
N/Southport Dr N and Park Ave N intersection and the 757th Ave N and Park Ave N T-junction.
The trestle crossing is located directly northeast of the Lake Washington Blvd/Garden Ave N
and N Southport Dr intersection. It is located within Section 8 of Township 23 N and Range 5 E.
The Boeing Company specifically owns parcel 0886600060, on which the City of Renton will
have a permanent easement and a temporary construction easement in order to complete the
project work. This document also applies to work on the Boeing Company properties located at
the eastern end of 7th Street, near Logan Avenue North.
Management of Wastewater
Wastewater, for the purposes of this plan, is defined as contaminated or polluted waters as
encountered or produced by this project. Wastewater generated onsite as a byproduct of the
construction of the Park Avenue North Extension Project will not be discharged to surface
waters of the state. Many provisions for the management of wastewater are included in the
SWPPP plan, however this document will provide the following key provisions for construction
water on Boeing property as agreed to by the company and the City of Renton (City) for the
Park Avenue North Extension Project (Project):
• The project is not expected to encounter contaminated groundwater as a result of
excavation, but in the event that this occurs, procedures as outlined in the Stormwater
Park Avenue North Extension Project 3
Construction Water Management Plan
Pollution Prevention plan (SWPPP) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures
Plan (SPCC) should be followed. Excerpts of these plans are included below for quicker
reference. A list of contacts is provided in each of these documents as well as below.
• Any wastewater or stormwater discharge to City sanitary or storm sewer systems will
require local utility approval as described in the CSWGP. All wastewater collected and
removed off-site for disposal will be documented and information provided to the Boeing
point of contact.
• The City will monitor and sample wastewater and stormwater as required and will
provide these results to the Boeing point of contact promptly.
• The City shall be responsible for all costs associated with complying with the plan,
including any costs incurred by the City for stop-work events related to any unplanned or
contingent events.
The following sections are relevant to the management of wastewater and are also found within
the SWPPP and SPCC.
CONTAMINATED MATERIALS – PLAN AND PROCEDURE
(as adapted from the project SPCC and SWPPP)
Spill Response
Table 1, below, outlines the response procedures that the City of Renton shall follow for the
scenarios described below, indicating that if hazardous materials are encountered or spilled to
soil or water (including stormwater) during construction, the City of Renton shall do everything
possible to control and contain the material until appropriate measures can be taken. The City
shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations for spill response and cleanup. The
response procedures include a description of the actions the City of Renton shall take to
address each task shown in the tables as well as the specific on-site, spill response equipment
that shall be used to perform each task.
If the City of Renton will use a Subcontractor for spill response, provide contact information for
the Subcontractor in Table 2 and, in the appropriate table below, identify when the
Subcontractor shall be used and the actions that the City of Renton shall take at the site while
waiting for the Subcontractor to respond.
If the City of Renton encounters unanticipated pre-existing contamination within the Project area
during Project work, the City of Renton shall immediately notify the Department of Ecology and
the Boeing point of contact.
In addition, for all regulated waste, prior to disposal, the City shall provide the waste
characterization/profile and selected disposal location to the Boeing point of contact. The City
shall provide the Boeing point of contact verification of final disposal after completion. For all
non-regulated waste, the City shall provide advance notification to the Boeing point of contact of
the waste disposal characterization and the selected disposal facility.
Per agreement with Boeing, the City shall be responsible for all costs associated with complying
with this Spill Response Plan, including any costs incurred by the City for stop-work events

Wastewater Quality Sampling
Turbidity Sampling
Requirements include calibrated turbidity meter or transparency tube to sample site discharges
for compliance with the CSWGP. Sampling will be conducted at all discharge points at least
once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Turbidity Sampling Method
Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
x Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
If the discharge’s turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
1. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region’s
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.
https://www.ecology.wa.gov/About-us/Get-involved/Report-an-environmental-issue
• Northwest Region (King, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish,
Whatcom): (425) 649-7000
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
4. Continue to sample discharges daily until one of the following is true:
• Turbidity is 25 NTU (or lower).
• Transparency is 33 cm (or greater).
• Compliance with the water quality limit for turbidity is achieved.
o 1 - 5 NTU over background turbidity, if background is less than 50 NTU
o 1% - 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50 NTU or greater
• The discharge stops or is eliminated.

Construction Water Management Plan
pH Sampling
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e. greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of the project).The use of engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.

Monitoring and Sampling Requirements (4.0)
Monitoring includes visual inspection, sampling for water quality parameters of concern, and
documentation of the inspection and sampling findings in a site log book. A site log book will be
maintained for all on-site construction activities and will include:
• A record of the implementation of the SWPPP and other permit requirements
• Site inspections
• Stormwater sampling data
Create your own Site Inspection Form or use the Construction Stormwater Site Inspection Form
found on Ecology’s website. https://www.ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Permits-
certifications/Stormwater-general-permits/Construction-stormwater-permit
File a blank form under Appendix D.
The site log book must be maintained on-site within reasonable access to the site and be made
available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
Site Inspection (4.1)
Site inspections will be conducted at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours
following any discharge from the site. For sites that are temporarily stabilized and inactive, the
required frequency is reduced to once per calendar month.
The discharge point(s) are indicated on the Site Map (see Appendix A) and in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the CSWGP.
Stormwater Quality Sampling (4.2)
Turbidity Sampling (4.2.1)
Requirements include calibrated turbidity meter or transparency tube to sample site discharges
for compliance with the CSWGP. Sampling will be conducted at all discharge points at least
once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Table 8 – Turbidity Sampling Method
Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
x Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
If the discharge’s turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
1. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region’s
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.

4. Continue to sample discharges daily until one of the following is true:
• Turbidity is 25 NTU (or lower).
• Transparency is 33 cm (or greater).
• Compliance with the water quality limit for turbidity is achieved.
o 1 - 5 NTU over background turbidity, if background is less than 50 NTU
o 1% - 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50 NTU or greater
• The discharge stops or is eliminated.
pH Sampling (4.2.2)
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e. greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of the project).The use of engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water to the range of 6.5 to 8.5 su using appropriate
technology such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Written approval will be obtained from Ecology prior to the use of chemical treatment

Recommended Standard Notes for Introduction:
Erosion Control Plans
The following standard notes are suggested for use in erosion control plans. Local jurisdictions
may have other mandatory notes for construction plans that are applicable. Plans should also
identify with phone numbers the person or firm responsible for the preparation of and
maintenance of the erosion control plan.
Standard Notes
Approval of this erosion/sedimentation control (ESC) plan does not constitute an approval of
permanent road or drainage design (e.g. size and location of roads, pipes, restrictors, channels,
retention facilities, utilities).
The implementation of these ESC plans and the construction, maintenance, replacement, and
upgrading of these ESC facilities is the responsibility of the applicant/contractor until all
construction is completed and approved and vegetation/landscaping is established.
The boundaries of the clearing limits shown on this plan shall be clearly flagged in the field prior
to construction. During the construction period, no disturbance beyond the flagged clearing
limits shall be permitted. The flagging shall be maintained by the applicant/contractor for the
duration of construction.
The ESC facilities shown on this plan must be constructed in conjunction with all clearing and
grading activities, and in such a manner as to insure that sediment and sediment laden water do
not enter the drainage system, roadways, or violate applicable water standards.
The ESC facilities shown on this plan are the minimum requirements for anticipated site
conditions. During the construction period, these ESC facilities shall be upgraded as needed for
unexpected storm events and to ensure that sediment and sediment-laden water do not leave the
site.
The ESC facilities shall be inspected dail y by the applicant/contractor and maintained as
necessary to ensure their continued functioning.
The ESC facilities on inactive sites shall be inspected and maintained a minimum of once a
month or within the 48 hours following a major storm event.
At no time shall more than one foot of sediment be allowed to accumulate within a trapped catch
basin. All catch basins and conveyance lines shall be cleaned prior to paving. The cleaning
operation shall not flush sediment laden water into the downstream system.
Stabilized construction entrances shall be installed at the beginning of construction and
maintained for the duration of the project. Additional measures may be required to insure that all
paved areas are kept clean for the duration of the project.

Chapter 4 - Best Management Practices Standards
and Specifications
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are defined as schedules of activities,
prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and structural and/or
managerial practices, that when used singly or in combination, prevent or
reduce the release of pollutants to waters of Washington State. This
chapter contains standards and specifications for temporary BMPs to be
used as applicable during the construction phase of a project. Often using
BMPs in combination is the best method to meet Construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements.
None of the BMPs listed below will work successfully through the
construction project without inspection and maintenance. Regular
inspections to identify problems with the operation of each BMP, and the
timely repair of any problems are essential to the continued operation of
the BMPs.
Section 4.1 contains the standards and specifications for Source Control
BMPs.
Section 4.2 contains the standards and specifications for Runoff
Conveyance and Treatment BMPs.
The standards for each individual BMP are divided into four sections:
1. Purpose
2. Conditions of Use
3.Design and Installation Specifications
4.Maintenance Standards
Note that the “Conditions of Use” refers to site conditions. As site
conditions change, BMPs must be changed to remain in compliance.
4.1 Source Control BMPs
This section contains the standards and specifications for Source Control
BMPs. Table 4.1.1, below, shows the relationship of the BMPs in Section
4.1 to the Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Elements described in Section 3.3.3. Elements not shown on Table 4.1.1
are not satisfied through installation of Source Controls.

BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
Purpose The purpose of preserving natural vegetation is to reduce erosion wherever
practicable. Limiting site disturbance is the single most effective method
for reducing erosion. For example, conifers can hold up to about 50
percent of all rain that falls during a storm. Up to 20-30 percent of this rain
may never reach the ground but is taken up by the tree or evaporates.
Another benefit is that the rain held in the tree can be released slowly to
the ground after the storm.
Conditions of Use Natural vegetation should be preserved on steep slopes, near perennial
and intermittent watercourses or swales, and on building sites in wooded
areas.
•As required by local governments.
•Phase construction to preserve natural vegetation on the project site for
as long as possible during the construction period.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Natural vegetation can be preserved in natural clumps or as individual
trees, shrubs and vines.
The preservation of individual plants is more difficult because heavy
equipment is generally used to remove unwanted vegetation. The points
to remember when attempting to save individual plants are:
•Is the plant worth saving? Consider the location, species, size, age, vigor,
and the work involved. Local governments may also have ordinances to
save natural vegetation and trees.
•Fence or clearly mark areas around trees that are to be saved. It is
preferable to keep ground disturbance away from the trees at least as
far out as the dripline.
Plants need protection from three kinds of injuries:
•Construction Equipment - This injury can be above or below the
ground level. Damage results from scarring, cutting of roots, and
compaction of the soil. Placing a fenced buffer zone around plants to
be saved prior to construction can prevent construction equipment
injuries.
•Grade Changes - Changing the natural ground level will alter grades,
which affects the plant's ability to obtain the necessary air, water, and
minerals. Minor fills usually do not cause problems although
sensitivity between species does vary and should be checked. Trees
can typically tolerate fill of 6 inches or less. For shrubs and other
plants, the fill should be less.
When there are major changes in grade, it may become necessary to
supply air to the roots of plants. This can be done by placing a layer of
gravel and a tile system over the roots before the fill is made. A tile
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-4
system protects a tree from a raised grade. The tile system should be
laid out on the original grade leading from a dry well around the tree
trunk. The system should then be covered with small stones to allow
air to circulate over the root area.
Lowering the natural ground level can seriously damage trees and
shrubs. The highest percentage of the plant roots are in the upper 12
inches of the soil and cuts of only 2-3 inches can cause serious injury.
To protect the roots it may be necessary to terrace the immediate area
around the plants to be saved. If roots are exposed, construction of
retaining walls may be needed to keep the soil in place. Plants can also
be preserved by leaving them on an undisturbed, gently sloping
mound. To increase the chances for survival, it is best to limit grade
changes and other soil disturbances to areas outside the dripline of the
plant.
•Excavations - Protect trees and other plants when excavating for
drainfields, power, water, and sewer lines. Where possible, the
trenches should be routed around trees and large shrubs. When this is
not possible, it is best to tunnel under them. This can be done with
hand tools or with power augers. If it is not possible to route the trench
around plants to be saved, then the following should be observed:
Cut as few roots as possible. When you have to cut, cut clean. Paint
cut root ends with a wood dressing like asphalt base paint if roots will
be exposed for more than 24-hours.
Backfill the trench as soon as possible.
Tunnel beneath root systems as close to the center of the main trunk to
preserve most of the important feeder roots.
Some problems that can be encountered with a few specific trees are:
•Maple, Dogwood, Red alder, Western hemlock, Western red cedar,
and Douglas fir do not readily adjust to changes in environment and
special care should be taken to protect these trees.
•The windthrow hazard of Pacific silver fir and madrona is high, while
that of Western hemlock is moderate. The danger of windthrow
increases where dense stands have been thinned. Other species (unless
they are on shallow, wet soils less than 20 inches deep) have a low
windthrow hazard.
•Cottonwoods, maples, and willows have water-seeking roots. These
can cause trouble in sewer lines and infiltration fields. On the other
hand, they thrive in high moisture conditions that other trees would
not.
•Thinning operations in pure or mixed stands of Grand fir, Pacific silver
fir, Noble fir, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar, Western hemlock,
Pacific dogwood, and Red alder can cause serious disease problems.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-5
Disease can become established through damaged limbs, trunks, roots,
and freshly cut stumps. Diseased and weakened trees are also
susceptible to insect attack.
Maintenance
Standards
Inspect flagged and/or fenced areas regularly to make sure flagging or
fencing has not been removed or damaged. If the flagging or fencing
has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or
replaced immediately and visibility restored.
•If tree roots have been exposed or injured, “prune” cleanly with an
appropriate pruning saw or loppers directly above the damaged roots
and recover with native soils. Treatment of sap flowing trees (fir,
hemlock, pine, soft maples) is not advised as sap forms a natural
healing barrier.
BMP C102: Buffer Zones
Purpose Creation of an undisturbed area or strip of natural vegetation or an
established suitable planting that will provide a living filter to reduce soil
erosion and runoff velocities.
Conditions of Use Natural buffer zones are used along streams, wetlands and other bodies of
water that need protection from erosion and sedimentation. Vegetative
buffer zones can be used to protect natural swales and can be incorporated
into the natural landscaping of an area.
Critical-areas buffer zones should not be used as sediment treatment areas.
These areas shall remain completely undisturbed. The local permitting
authority may expand the buffer widths temporarily to allow the use of the
expanded area for removal of sediment.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•Preserving natural vegetation or plantings in clumps, blocks, or strips
is generally the easiest and most successful method.
•Leave all unstable steep slopes in natural vegetation.
•Mark clearing limits and keep all equipment and construction debris
out of the natural areas and buffer zones. Steel construction fencing is
the most effective method in protecting sensitive areas and buffers.
Alternatively, wire-backed silt fence on steel posts is marginally
effective. Flagging alone is typically not effective.
•Keep all excavations outside the dripline of trees and shrubs.
•Do not push debris or extra soil into the buffer zone area because it
will cause damage from burying and smothering.
•Vegetative buffer zones for streams, lakes or other waterways shall be
established by the local permitting authority or other state or federal
permits or approvals.
Maintenance
Standards
Inspect the area frequently to make sure flagging remains in place and the
area remains undisturbed. Replace all damaged flagging immediately.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-6
BMP C103: High Visibility Fence
Purpose Fencing is intended to:
1.Restrict clearing to approved limits.
2. Prevent disturbance of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas
required to be left undisturbed.
3. Limit construction traffic to designated construction entrances, exits,
or internal roads.
4. Protect areas where marking with survey tape may not provide
adequate protection.
Conditions of Use To establish clearing limits plastic, fabric, or metal fence may be used:
•At the boundary of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas
required to be left uncleared.
•As necessary to control vehicle access to and on the site.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
High visibility plastic fence shall be composed of a high-density
polyethylene material and shall be at least four feet in height. Posts for
the fencing shall be steel or wood and placed every 6 feet on center
(maximum) or as needed to ensure rigidity. The fencing shall be fastened
to the post every six inches with a polyethylene tie. On long continuous
lengths of fencing, a tension wire or rope shall be used as a top stringer to
prevent sagging between posts. The fence color shall be high visibility
orange. The fence tensile strength shall be 360 lbs./ft. using the ASTM
D4595 testing method.
If appropriate install fabric silt fence in accordance with BMP C233 to
act as high visibility fence. Silt fence shall be at least 3 feet high and
must be highly visible to meet the requirements of this BMP.
Metal fences shall be designed and installed according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
Metal fences shall be at least 3 feet high and must be highly visible.
Fences shall not be wired or stapled to trees.
Maintenance
Standards
If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or
replaced immediately and visibility restored.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-7
BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance / Exit
Purpose Stabilized Construction entrances are established to reduce the amount of
sediment transported onto paved roads by vehicles or equipment. This is
done by constructing a stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances and
exits for construction sites.
Conditions of Use Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be entering
or leaving a construction site if paved roads or other paved areas are
within 1,000 feet of the site.
For residential construction provide stabilized construction entrances for
each residence, rather than only at the main subdivision entrance.
Stabilized surfaces shall be of sufficient length/width to provide vehicle
access/parking, based on lot size/configuration.
On large commercial, highway, and road projects, the designer should
include enough extra materials in the contract to allow for additional
stabilized entrances not shown in the initial Construction SWPPP. It is
difficult to determine exactly where access to these projects will take
place; additional materials will enable the contractor to install them where
needed.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
See Figure 4.1.1 for details. Note: the 100’ minimum length of the
entrance shall be reduced to the maximum practicable size when the size
or configuration of the site does not allow the full length (100’).
Construct stabilized construction entrances with a 12-inch thick pad of 4-
inch to 8-inch quarry spalls, a 4-inch course of asphalt treated base
(ATB), or use existing pavement. Do not use crushed concrete, cement,
or calcium chloride for construction entrance stabilization because these
products raise pH levels in stormwater and concrete discharge to surface
waters of the State is prohibited.
A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine
sediment from pumping up into the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet
the following standards:
Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4751) 200 psi min.
Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max.
Mullen Burst Strength (ASTM D3786-80a) 400 psi min.
AOS (ASTM D4751) 20-45 (U.S. standard sieve size)
• Consider early installation of the first lift of asphalt in areas that will
paved; this can be used as a stabilized entrance. Also consider the
installation of excess concrete as a stabilized entrance. During large
concrete pours, excess concrete is often available for this purpose.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-8
•Fencing (see BMP C103) shall be installed as necessary to restrict
traffic to the construction entrance.
•Whenever possible, the entrance shall be constructed on a firm,
compacted subgrade. This can substantially increase the effectiveness
of the pad and reduce the need for maintenance.
•Construction entrances should avoid crossing existing sidewalks and
back of walk drains if at all possible. If a construction entrance must
cross a sidewalk or back of walk drain, the full length of the sidewalk
and back of walk drain must be covered and protected from sediment
leaving the site.
Maintenance
Standards
Quarry spalls shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with
the specifications.
•If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto
pavement, then alternative measures to keep the streets free of
sediment shall be used. This may include replacement/cleaning of the
existing quarry spalls, street sweeping, an increase in the dimensions
of the entrance, or the installation of a wheel wash.
•Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed by
shoveling or street sweeping. The sediment collected by sweeping
shall be removed or stabilized on site. The pavement shall not be
cleaned by washing down the street, except when high efficiency
sweeping is ineffective and there is a threat to public safety. If it is
necessary to wash the streets, the construction of a small sump to
contain the wash water shall be considered. The sediment would then
be washed into the sump where it can be controlled.
•Perform street sweeping by hand or with a high efficiency sweeper. Do
not use a non-high efficiency mechanical sweeper because this creates
dust and throws soils into storm systems or conveyance ditches.
•Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad, which end up on the
roadway shall be removed immediately.
•If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the
construction entrance(s), fencing (see BMP C103) shall be installed to
control traffic.
•Upon project completion and site stabilization, all construction
accesses intended as permanent access for maintenance shall be
permanently stabilized.

BMP C106: Wheel Wash
Purpose Wheel washes reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved
roads by motor vehicles.
Conditions of Use When a stabilized construction entrance (see BMP C105) is not preventing
sediment from being tracked onto pavement.
•Wheel washing is generally an effective BMP when installed with
careful attention to topography. For example, a wheel wash can be
detrimental if installed at the top of a slope abutting a right-of-way
where the water from the dripping truck can run unimpeded into the
street.

•Pressure washing combined with an adequately sized and surfaced pad
with direct drainage to a large 10-foot x 10-foot sump can be very
effective.
•Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site
treatment system that prevents discharge to surface water, such as
closed-loop recirculation or upland land application, or to the sanitary
sewer with local sewer district approval.
•Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater should not include wastewater
from concrete washout areas.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Suggested details are shown in Figure 4.1.2. The Local Permitting
Authority may allow other designs. A minimum of 6 inches of asphalt
treated base (ATB) over crushed base material or 8 inches over a good
subgrade is recommended to pave the wheel wash.
Use a low clearance truck to test the wheel wash before paving. Either a
belly dump or lowboy will work well to test clearance.
Keep the water level from 12 to 14 inches deep to avoid damage to truck
hubs and filling the truck tongues with water.
Midpoint spray nozzles are only needed in extremely muddy conditions.
Wheel wash systems should be designed with a small grade change, 6- to
12-inches for a 10-foot-wide pond, to allow sediment to flow to the low
side of pond to help prevent re-suspension of sediment. A drainpipe with a
2- to 3-foot riser should be installed on the low side of the pond to allow
for easy cleaning and refilling. Polymers may be used to promote
coagulation and flocculation in a closed-loop system. Polyacrylamide
(PAM) added to the wheel wash water at a rate of 0.25 - 0.5 pounds per
1,000 gallons of water increases effectiveness and reduces cleanup time. If
PAM is already being used for dust or erosion control and is being applied
by a water truck, the same truck can be used to change the wash water.
Maintenance
Standards
The wheel wash should start out the day with fresh water.
The wash water should be changed a minimum of once per day. On large
earthwork jobs where more than 10-20 trucks per hour are expected, the
wash water will need to be changed more often.

BMP C107: Construction Road/Parking Area Stabilization
Purpose Stabilizing subdivision roads, parking areas, and other on-site vehicle
transportation routes immediately after grading reduces erosion caused by
construction traffic or runoff.
Conditions of Use Roads or parking areas shall be stabilized wherever they are constructed,
whether permanent or temporary, for use by construction traffic.
•High Visibility Fencing (see BMP C103) shall be installed, if
necessary, to limit the access of vehicles to only those roads and
parking areas that are stabilized.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•On areas that will receive asphalt as part of the project, install the first
lift as soon as possible.
•A 6-inch depth of 2- to 4-inch crushed rock, gravel base, or crushed
surfacing base course shall be applied immediately after grading or
utility installation. A 4-inch course of asphalt treated base (ATB) may
also be used, or the road/parking area may be paved. It may also be
possible to use cement or calcium chloride for soil stabilization. If
cement or cement kiln dust is used for roadbase stabilization, pH
monitoring and BMPs (BMPs C252 and C253) are necessary to
evaluate and minimize the effects on stormwater. If the area will not be
used for permanent roads, parking areas, or structures, a 6-inch depth of
hog fuel may also be used, but this is likely to require more
maintenance. Whenever possible, construction roads and parking areas
shall be placed on a firm, compacted subgrade.
•Temporary road gradients shall not exceed 15 percent. Roadways shall
be carefully graded to drain. Drainage ditches shall be provided on
each side of the roadway in the case of a crowned section, or on one
side in the case of a super-elevated section. Drainage ditches shall be
directed to a sediment control BMP.
•Rather than relying on ditches, it may also be possible to grade the
road so that runoff sheet-flows into a heavily vegetated area with a
well-developed topsoil. Landscaped areas are not adequate. If this area
has at least 50 feet of vegetation that water can flow through, then it is
generally preferable to use the vegetation to treat runoff, rather than a
sediment pond or trap. The 50 feet shall not include wetlands or their
buffers. If runoff is allowed to sheetflow through adjacent vegetated
areas, it is vital to design the roadways and parking areas so that no
concentrated runoff is created.
•Storm drain inlets shall be protected to prevent sediment-laden water
entering the storm drain system (see BMP C220).
Maintenance
Standards
Inspect stabilized areas regularly, especially after large storm events.
Crushed rock, gravel base, etc., shall be added as required to maintain a
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-13
stable driving surface and to stabilize any areas that have eroded.
Following construction, these areas shall be restored to pre-construction
condition or better to prevent future erosion.
Perform street cleaning at the end of each day or more often if necessary.
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
Purpose Seeding reduces erosion by stabilizing exposed soils. A well-established
vegetative cover is one of the most effective methods of reducing erosion.
Conditions of Use Use seeding throughout the project on disturbed areas that have reached
final grade or that will remain unworked for more than 30 days.
The optimum seeding windows for western Washington are April 1
through June 30 and September 1 through October 1.
Between July 1 and August 30 seeding requires irrigation until 75 percent
grass cover is established.
Between October 1 and March 30 seeding requires a cover of mulch with
straw or an erosion control blanket until 75 percent grass cover is
established.
Review all disturbed areas in late August to early September and complete
all seeding by the end of September. Otherwise, vegetation will not
establish itself enough to provide more than average protection.
• Mulch is required at all times for seeding because it protects seeds
from heat, moisture loss, and transport due to runoff. Mulch can be
applied on top of the seed or simultaneously by hydroseeding. See
BMP C121: Mulching for specifications.
• Seed and mulch, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated at final
site stabilization. Final stabilization means the completion of all soil
disturbing activities at the site and the establishment of a permanent
vegetative cover, or equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such
as pavement, riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) which will prevent
erosion.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Seed retention/detention ponds as required.
Install channels intended for vegetation before starting major
earthwork and hydroseed with a Bonded Fiber Matrix. For vegetated
channels that will have high flows, install erosion control blankets
over hydroseed. Before allowing water to flow in vegetated
channels, establish 75 percent vegetation cover. If vegetated
channels cannot be established by seed before water flow; install sod
in the channel bottom—over hydromulch and erosion control
blankets.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-14
•Confirm the installation of all required surface water control measures
to prevent seed from washing away.
•Hydroseed applications shall include a minimum of 1,500 pounds per
acre of mulch with 3 percent tackifier. See BMP C121: Mulching for
specifications.
•Areas that will have seeding only and not landscaping may need
compost or meal-based mulch included in the hydroseed in order to
establish vegetation. Re-install native topsoil on the disturbed soil
surface before application.
•When installing seed via hydroseeding operations, only about 1/3 of
the seed actually ends up in contact with the soil surface. This reduces
the ability to establish a good stand of grass quickly. To overcome this,
consider increasing seed quantities by up to 50 percent.
•Enhance vegetation establishment by dividing the hydromulch
operation into two phases:
1.Phase 1- Install all seed and fertilizer with 25-30 percent mulch
and tackifier onto soil in the first lift.
2.Phase 2- Install the rest of the mulch and tackifier over the first lift.
Or, enhance vegetation by:
1. Installing the mulch, seed, fertilizer, and tackifier in one lift.
2. Spread or blow straw over the top of the hydromulch at a rate of
800-1000 pounds per acre.
3.Hold straw in place with a standard tackifier.
Both of these approaches will increase cost moderately but will greatly
improve and enhance vegetative establishment. The increased cost
may be offset by the reduced need for:
•Irrigation.
•Reapplication of mulch.
•Repair of failed slope surfaces.
This technique works with standard hydromulch (1,500 pounds per
acre minimum) and BFM/MBFMs (3,000 pounds per acre minimum).
•Seed may be installed by hand if:
•Temporary and covered by straw, mulch, or topsoil.
•Permanent in small areas (usually less than 1 acre) and covered
with mulch, topsoil, or erosion blankets.
•The seed mixes listed in the tables below include recommended
mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-15
•Apply these mixes, with the exception of the wetland mix, at a rate
of 120 pounds per acre. This rate can be reduced if soil
amendments or slow-release fertilizers are used.
•Consult the local suppliers or the local conservation district for
their recommendations because the appropriate mix depends on a
variety of factors, including location, exposure, soil type, slope,
and expected foot traffic. Alternative seed mixes approved by the
local authority may be used.
•Other mixes may be appropriate, depending on the soil type and
hydrology of the area.

•Roughening and Rototilling:
•The seedbed should be firm and rough. Roughen all soil no matter
what the slope. Track walk slopes before seeding if engineering
purposes require compaction. Backblading or smoothing of slopes
greater than 4H:1V is not allowed if they are to be seeded.
•Restoration-based landscape practices require deeper incorporation
than that provided by a simple single-pass rototilling treatment.
Wherever practical, initially rip the subgrade to improve long-term
permeability, infiltration, and water inflow qualities. At a
minimum, permanent areas shall use soil amendments to achieve
organic matter and permeability performance defined in
engineered soil/landscape systems. For systems that are deeper
than 8 inches complete the rototilling process in multiple lifts, or
prepare the engineered soil system per specifications and place to
achieve the specified depth.
•Fertilizers:
•Conducting soil tests to determine the exact type and quantity of
fertilizer is recommended. This will prevent the over-application
of fertilizer.
•Organic matter is the most appropriate form of fertilizer because it
provides nutrients (including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium)
in the least water-soluble form.
•In general, use 10-4-6 N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium)
fertilizer at a rate of 90 pounds per acre. Always use slow-release
fertilizers because they are more efficient and have fewer
environmental impacts. Do not add fertilizer to the hydromulch
machine, or agitate, more than 20 minutes before use. Too much
agitation destroys the slow-release coating.
•There are numerous products available that take the place of
chemical fertilizers. These include several with seaweed extracts
that are beneficial to soil microbes and organisms. If 100 percent
cottonseed meal is used as the mulch in hydroseed, chemical
fertilizer may not be necessary. Cottonseed meal provides a good
source of long-term, slow-release, available nitrogen.
•Bonded Fiber Matrix and Mechanically Bonded Fiber Matrix:
•On steep slopes use Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) or Mechanically
Bonded Fiber Matrix (MBFM) products. Apply BFM/MBFM
products at a minimum rate of 3,000 pounds per acre of mulch
with approximately 10 percent tackifier. Achieve a minimum of 95
percent soil coverage during application. Numerous products are
available commercially. Installed products per manufacturer’s
instructions. Most products require 24-36 hours to cure before
rainfall and cannot be installed on wet or saturated soils.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-19
Generally, products come in 40-50 pound bags and include all
necessary ingredients except for seed and fertilizer.
•BFMs and MBFMs provide good alternatives to blankets in most
areas requiring vegetation establishment. Advantages over
blankets include:
•BFM and MBFMs do not require surface preparation.
•Helicopters can assist in installing BFM and MBFMs in remote
areas.
•On slopes steeper than 2.5H:1V, blanket installers may require
ropes and harnesses for safety.
•Installing BFM and MBFMs can save at least $1,000 per acre
compared to blankets.
Maintenance
Standards
Reseed any seeded areas that fail to establish at least 80 percent cover
(100 percent cover for areas that receive sheet or concentrated flows). If
reseeding is ineffective, use an alternate method such as sodding,
mulching, or nets/blankets. If winter weather prevents adequate grass
growth, this time limit may be relaxed at the discretion of the local
authority when sensitive areas would otherwise be protected.
•Reseed and protect by mulch any areas that experience erosion after
achieving adequate cover. Reseed and protect by mulch any eroded
area.
•Supply seeded areas with adequate moisture, but do not water to the
extent that it causes runoff.
Approved as
Equivalent
Ecology has approved products as able to meet the requirements of BMP

prior to consideration for local use. The products are available for review on
Ecology’s website at
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/newtech/equivalent.html.
BMP C121: Mulching
Purpose Mulching soils provides immediate temporary protection from erosion.
Mulch also enhances plant establishment by conserving moisture, holding
fertilizer, seed, and topsoil in place, and moderating soil temperatures.
There is an enormous variety of mulches that can be used. This section
discusses only the most common types of mulch.
Conditions of Use As a temporary cover measure, mulch should be used:
•For less than 30 days on disturbed areas that require cover.
•At all times for seeded areas, especially during the wet season and
during the hot summer months.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-20
•During the wet season on slopes steeper than 3H:1V with more than
10 feet of vertical relief.
Mulch may be applied at any time of the year and must be refreshed
periodically.
•For seeded areas mulch may be made up of 100 percent: cottonseed
meal; fibers made of wood, recycled cellulose, hemp, kenaf; compost;
or blends of these. Tackifier shall be plant-based, such as guar or alpha
plantago, or chemical-based such as polyacrylamide or polymers. Any
mulch or tackifier product used shall be installed per manufacturer’s
instructions. Generally, mulches come in 40-50 pound bags. Seed and
fertilizer are added at time of application.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
For mulch materials, application rates, and specifications, see Table 4.1.8.
Always use a 2-inch minimum mulch thickness; increase the thickness
until the ground is 95% covered (i.e. not visible under the mulch layer).
Note: Thickness may be increased for disturbed areas in or near sensitive
areas or other areas highly susceptible to erosion.
Where the option of “Compost” is selected, it should be a coarse compost
that meets the following size gradations when tested in accordance with
the U.S. Composting Council “Test Methods for the Examination of
Compost and Composting” (TMECC) Test Method 02.02-B.
Coarse Compost
Minimum Percent passing 3” sieve openings 100%
Minimum Percent passing 1” sieve openings 90%
Minimum Percent passing ¾” sieve openings 70%
Minimum Percent passing ¼” sieve openings 40%
Mulch used within the ordinary high-water mark of surface waters should
be selected to minimize potential flotation of organic matter. Composted
organic materials have higher specific gravities (densities) than straw,
wood, or chipped material. Consult Hydraulic Permit Authority (HPA) for
mulch mixes if applicable.
Maintenance
Standards
•The thickness of the cover must be maintained.
•Any areas that experience erosion shall be remulched and/or protected
with a net or blanket. If the erosion problem is drainage related, then
the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area remulched.

Cost-effective protection when applied with adequate thickness.
Hand-application generally requires greater thickness than
blown straw. The thickness of straw may be reduced by half
when used in conjunction with seeding. In windy areas straw
must be held in place by crimping, using a tackifier, or covering
with netting. Blown straw always has to be held in place with a
tackifier as even light winds will blow it away. Straw, however,
has several deficiencies that should be considered when
selecting mulch materials. It often introduces and/or encourages
the propagation of weed species and it has no significant long-
term benefits. It should also not be used within the ordinary
high-water elevation of surface waters (due to flotation).

More effective control can be obtained by increasing thickness
to 3". Excellent mulch for protecting final grades until
landscaping because it can be directly seeded or tilled into soil
as an amendment. Compost used for mulch has a coarser size
gradation than compost used for BMP C125 or BMP T5.13 (see
Chapter 5 of Volume V of this manual) It is more stable and
practical to use in wet areas and during rainy weather
conditions. Do not use near wetlands or near phosphorous

burning. Generally, it should not be used on slopes above
approx. 10% because of its tendency to be transported by
runoff. It is not recommended within 200 feet of surface waters.
If seeding is expected shortly after mulch, the decomposition of
the chipped vegetation may tie up nutrients important to grass
establishment.

Special caution is advised regarding the source and composition
of wood-based mulches. Its preparation typically does not
provide any weed seed control, so evidence of residual
vegetation in its composition or known inclusion of weed plants
or seeds should be monitored and prevented (or minimized).

BMP C122: Nets and Blankets
Purpose Erosion control nets and blankets are intended to prevent erosion and hold
seed and mulch in place on steep slopes and in channels so that vegetation
can become well established. In addition, some nets and blankets can be
used to permanently reinforce turf to protect drainage ways during high
flows. Nets (commonly called matting) are strands of material woven into
an open, but high-tensile strength net (for example, coconut fiber matting).
Blankets are strands of material that are not tightly woven, but instead
form a layer of interlocking fibers, typically held together by a
biodegradable or photodegradable netting (for example, excelsior or straw
blankets). They generally have lower tensile strength than nets, but cover
the ground more completely. Coir (coconut fiber) fabric comes as both
nets and blankets.
Conditions of Use Erosion control nets and blankets should be used:
•To aid permanent vegetated stabilization of slopes 2H:1V or greater
and with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
•For drainage ditches and swales (highly recommended). The
application of appropriate netting or blanket to drainage ditches and
swales can protect bare soil from channelized runoff while vegetation
is established. Nets and blankets also can capture a great deal of
sediment due to their open, porous structure. Nets and blankets can be
used to permanently stabilize channels and may provide a cost-
effective, environmentally preferable alternative to riprap. 100 percent
synthetic blankets manufactured for use in ditches may be easily
reused as temporary ditch liners.
Disadvantages of blankets include:
•Surface preparation required.
•On slopes steeper than 2.5H:1V, blanket installers may need to be
roped and harnessed for safety.
•They cost at least $4,000-6,000 per acre installed.
Advantages of blankets include:
•Installation without mobilizing special equipment.
•Installation by anyone with minimal training
•Installation in stages or phases as the project progresses.
•Installers can hand place seed and fertilizer as they progress down the
slope.
•Installation in any weather.
•There are numerous types of blankets that can be designed with
various parameters in mind. Those parameters include: fiber blend,
mesh strength, longevity, biodegradability, cost, and availability.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Design and
Installation
Specifications
•See Figure 4.1.3 and Figure 4.1.4 for typical orientation and
installation of blankets used in channels and as slope protection. Note:
these are typical only; all blankets must be installed per
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
•Installation is critical to the effectiveness of these products. If good
ground contact is not achieved, runoff can concentrate under the
product, resulting in significant erosion.
•Installation of Blankets on Slopes:
1.Complete final grade and track walk up and down the slope.
2.Install hydromulch with seed and fertilizer.
3.Dig a small trench, approximately 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep
along the top of the slope.
4.Install the leading edge of the blanket into the small trench and
staple approximately every 18 inches. NOTE: Staples are metal,
“U”-shaped, and a minimum of 6 inches long. Longer staples are
used in sandy soils. Biodegradable stakes are also available.
5. Roll the blanket slowly down the slope as installer walks
backwards. NOTE: The blanket rests against the installer’s legs.
Staples are installed as the blanket is unrolled. It is critical that the
proper staple pattern is used for the blanket being installed. The
blanket is not to be allowed to roll down the slope on its own as
this stretches the blanket making it impossible to maintain soil
contact. In addition, no one is allowed to walk on the blanket after
it is in place.
6. If the blanket is not long enough to cover the entire slope length,
the trailing edge of the upper blanket should overlap the leading
edge of the lower blanket and be stapled. On steeper slopes, this
overlap should be installed in a small trench, stapled, and covered
with soil.
•With the variety of products available, it is impossible to cover all the
details of appropriate use and installation. Therefore, it is critical that
the design engineer consult the manufacturer's information and that a
site visit takes place in order to ensure that the product specified is
appropriate. Information is also available at the following web sites:

•Use jute matting in conjunction with mulch (BMP C121). Excelsior,
woven straw blankets and coir (coconut fiber) blankets may be
installed without mulch. There are many other types of erosion control
nets and blankets on the market that may be appropriate in certain
circumstances.
•In general, most nets (e.g., jute matting) require mulch in order to
prevent erosion because they have a fairly open structure. Blankets
typically do not require mulch because they usually provide complete
protection of the surface.
•Extremely steep, unstable, wet, or rocky slopes are often appropriate
candidates for use of synthetic blankets, as are riverbanks, beaches and
other high-energy environments. If synthetic blankets are used, the soil
should be hydromulched first.
•100-percent biodegradable blankets are available for use in sensitive
areas. These organic blankets are usually held together with a paper or
fiber mesh and stitching which may last up to a year.
•Most netting used with blankets is photodegradable, meaning they
break down under sunlight (not UV stabilized). However, this process
can take months or years even under bright sun. Once vegetation is
established, sunlight does not reach the mesh. It is not uncommon to
find non-degraded netting still in place several years after installation.
This can be a problem if maintenance requires the use of mowers or
ditch cleaning equipment. In addition, birds and small animals can
become trapped in the netting.
Maintenance
Standards
•Maintain good contact with the ground. Erosion must not occur
beneath the net or blanket.
•Repair and staple any areas of the net or blanket that are damaged or
not in close contact with the ground.
•Fix and protect eroded areas if erosion occurs due to poorly controlled
drainage.

BMP C123: Plastic Covering
Purpose Plastic covering provides immediate, short-term erosion protection to
slopes and disturbed areas.
Conditions of
Use
Plastic covering may be used on disturbed areas that require cover
measures for less than 30 days, except as stated below.
•Plastic is particularly useful for protecting cut and fill slopes and
stockpiles. Note: The relatively rapid breakdown of most polyethylene
sheeting makes it unsuitable for long-term (greater than six months)
applications.
•Due to rapid runoff caused by plastic covering, do not use this method
upslope of areas that might be adversely impacted by concentrated
runoff. Such areas include steep and/or unstable slopes.
•Plastic sheeting may result in increased runoff volumes and velocities,
requiring additional on-site measures to counteract the increases.
Creating a trough with wattles or other material can convey clean
water away from these areas.
•To prevent undercutting, trench and backfill rolled plastic covering
products.
•While plastic is inexpensive to purchase, the added cost of
installation, maintenance, removal, and disposal make this an
expensive material, up to $1.50-2.00 per square yard.
•Whenever plastic is used to protect slopes install water collection
measures at the base of the slope. These measures include plastic-
covered berms, channels, and pipes used to covey clean rainwater
away from bare soil and disturbed areas. Do not mix clean runoff from
a plastic covered slope with dirty runoff from a project.
•Other uses for plastic include:
1. Temporary ditch liner.
2. Pond liner in temporary sediment pond.
3.Liner for bermed temporary fuel storage area if plastic is not
reactive to the type of fuel being stored.
4. Emergency slope protection during heavy rains.
5. Temporary drainpipe (“elephant trunk”) used to direct water.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•Plastic slope cover must be installed as follows:
1. Run plastic up and down slope, not across slope.
2.Plastic may be installed perpendicular to a slope if the slope length
is less than 10 feet.
3.Minimum of 8-inch overlap at seams.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-27
4.On long or wide slopes, or slopes subject to wind, tape all seams.
5.Place plastic into a small (12-inch wide by 6-inch deep) slot trench
at the top of the slope and backfill with soil to keep water from
flowing underneath.
6.Place sand filled burlap or geotextile bags every 3 to 6 feet along
seams and tie them together with twine to hold them in place.
7.Inspect plastic for rips, tears, and open seams regularly and repair
immediately. This prevents high velocity runoff from contacting
bare soil which causes extreme erosion.
8. Sandbags may be lowered into place tied to ropes. However, all
sandbags must be staked in place.
•Plastic sheeting shall have a minimum thickness of 0.06 millimeters.
•If erosion at the toe of a slope is likely, a gravel berm, riprap, or other
suitable protection shall be installed at the toe of the slope in order to
reduce the velocity of runoff.
Maintenance
Standards
•Torn sheets must be replaced and open seams repaired.
•Completely remove and replace the plastic if it begins to deteriorate
due to ultraviolet radiation.
•Completely remove plastic when no longer needed.
•Dispose of old tires used to weight down plastic sheeting
appropriately.

BMP C124: Sodding
Purpose The purpose of sodding is to establish permanent turf for immediate
erosion protection and to stabilize drainage ways where concentrated
overland flow will occur.
Conditions of Use Sodding may be used in the following areas:
•Disturbed areas that require short-term or long-term cover.
•Disturbed areas that require immediate vegetative cover.
•All waterways that require vegetative lining. Waterways may also be
seeded rather than sodded, and protected with a net or blanket.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-28
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Sod shall be free of weeds, of uniform thickness (approximately 1-inch
thick), and shall have a dense root mat for mechanical strength.
The following steps are recommended for sod installation:
•Shape and smooth the surface to final grade in accordance with the
approved grading plan. The swale needs to be overexcavated 4 to 6
inches below design elevation to allow room for placing soil
amendment and sod.
•Amend 4 inches (minimum) of compost into the top 8 inches of the
soil if the organic content of the soil is less than ten percent or the
permeability is less than 0.6 inches per hour. See
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/swfa/organics/soil.html for further
information.
•Fertilize according to the supplier's recommendations.
•Work lime and fertilizer 1 to 2 inches into the soil, and smooth the
surface.
•Lay strips of sod beginning at the lowest area to be sodded and
perpendicular to the direction of water flow. Wedge strips securely
into place. Square the ends of each strip to provide for a close, tight fit.
Stagger joints at least 12 inches. Staple on slopes steeper than 3H:1V.
Staple the upstream edge of each sod strip.
•Roll the sodded area and irrigate.
•When sodding is carried out in alternating strips or other patterns, seed
the areas between the sod immediately after sodding.
Maintenance
Standards
If the grass is unhealthy, the cause shall be determined and appropriate
action taken to reestablish a healthy groundcover. If it is impossible to
establish a healthy groundcover due to frequent saturation, instability, or
some other cause, the sod shall be removed, the area seeded with an
appropriate mix, and protected with a net or blanket.
BMP C125: Topsoiling / Composting
Purpose Topsoiling and composting provide a suitable growth medium for final
site stabilization with vegetation. While not a permanent cover practice in
itself, topsoiling and composting are an integral component of providing
permanent cover in those areas where there is an unsuitable soil surface
for plant growth. Use this BMP in conjunction with other BMPs such as
seeding, mulching, or sodding. Note that this BMP is functionally the
same as BMP T5.13 (see Chapter 5 of Volume V of this manual) which is
required for all disturbed areas that will be developed as lawn or
landscaped areas at the completed project site.
Native soils and disturbed soils that have been organically amended not
only retain much more stormwater, but they also serve as effective
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-29
biofilters for urban pollutants and, by supporting more vigorous plant
growth, reduce the water, fertilizer and pesticides needed to support
installed landscapes. Topsoil does not include any subsoils but only the
material from the top several inches including organic debris.
Conditions of
Use
•Permanent landscaped areas shall contain healthy topsoil that reduces
the need for fertilizers, improves overall topsoil quality, provides for
better vegetal health and vitality, improves hydrologic characteristics,
and reduces the need for irrigation.
•Leave native soils and the duff layer undisturbed to the maximum
extent practicable. Stripping of existing, properly functioning soil
system and vegetation for the purpose of topsoiling during
construction is not acceptable. Preserve existing soil systems in
undisturbed and uncompacted conditions if functioning properly.
•Areas that already have good topsoil, such as undisturbed areas, do not
require soil amendments.
•Restore, to the maximum extent practical, native soils disturbed during
clearing and grading to a condition equal to or better than the original
site condition’s moisture-holding capacity. Use on-site native topsoil,
incorporate amendments into on-site soil, or import blended topsoil to
meet this requirement.
•Topsoiling is a required procedure when establishing vegetation on
shallow soils, and soils of critically low pH (high acid) levels.
•Beware of where the topsoil comes from, and what vegetation was on
site before disturbance, invasive plant seeds may be included and could
cause problems for establishing native plants, landscaped areas, or
grasses.
•Topsoil from the site will contain mycorrhizal bacteria that are
necessary for healthy root growth and nutrient transfer. These native
mycorrhiza are acclimated to the site and will provide optimum
conditions for establishing grasses. Use commercially available
mycorrhiza products when using off-site topsoil.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Meet the following requirements for disturbed areas that will be
developed as lawn or landscaped areas at the completed project site:
•Maximize the depth of the topsoil wherever possible to provide the
maximum possible infiltration capacity and beneficial growth
medium. Topsoil shall have:
•A minimum depth of 8-inches. Scarify subsoils below the topsoil
layer at least 4-inches with some incorporation of the upper
material to avoid stratified layers, where feasible. Ripping or re-
structuring the subgrade may also provide additional benefits
regarding the overall infiltration and interflow dynamics of the soil
system.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-30
•A minimum organic content of 10% dry weight in planting beds,
and 5% organic matter content in turf areas. Incorporate organic
amendments to a minimum 8-inch depth except where tree roots or
other natural features limit the depth of incorporation.
•A pH between 6.0 and 8.0 or matching the pH of the undisturbed
soil.
•If blended topsoil is imported, then fines should be limited to 25
percent passing through a 200 sieve.
•Mulch planting beds with 2 inches of organic material
•Accomplish the required organic content, depth, and pH by returning
native topsoil to the site, importing topsoil of sufficient organic
content, and/or incorporating organic amendments.When using the
option of incorporating amendments to meet the organic content
requirement, use compost that meets the compost specification for
Bioretention (See BMP T7.30 in Chapter 7 of Volume V of this
manual), with the exception that the compost may have up to 35%
biosolids or manure.
•Sections three through seven of the document entitled, Guidelines and
Resources for Implementing Soil Quality and Depth BMP T5.13 in
WDOE Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington,
provides useful guidance for implementing whichever option is
chosen. It includes guidance for pre-approved default strategies and
guidance for custom strategies. Check with your local jurisdiction
concerning its acceptance of this guidance. It is available through the
organization, Soils for Salmon. As of this printing the document may
be found at:
http://www.soilsforsalmon.org/pdf/Soil_BMP_Manual.pdf.
•The final composition and construction of the soil system will result in
a natural selection or favoring of certain plant species over time. For
example, incorporation of topsoil may favor grasses, while layering
with mildly acidic, high-carbon amendments may favor more woody
vegetation.
•Allow sufficient time in scheduling for topsoil spreading prior to
seeding, sodding, or planting.
•Take care when applying top soil to subsoils with contrasting textures.
Sandy topsoil over clayey subsoil is a particularly poor combination,
as water creeps along the junction between the soil layers and causes
the topsoil to slough. If topsoil and subsoil are not properly bonded,
water will not infiltrate the soil profile evenly and it will be difficult to
establish vegetation. The best method to prevent a lack of bonding is
to actually work the topsoil into the layer below for a depth of at least
6 inches.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-31
•Field exploration of the site shall be made to determine if there is
surface soil of sufficient quantity and quality to justify stripping.
Topsoil shall be friable and loamy (loam, sandy loam, silt loam, sandy
clay loam, and clay loam). Avoid areas of natural ground water
recharge.
•Stripping shall be confined to the immediate construction area. A 4-
inch to 6-inch stripping depth is common, but depth may vary
depending on the particular soil. All surface runoff control structures
shall be in place prior to stripping.
•Do not place topsoil while in a frozen or muddy condition, when the
subgrade is excessively wet, or when conditions exist that may
otherwise be detrimental to proper grading or proposed sodding or
seeding.
•In any areas requiring grading remove and stockpile the duff layer and
topsoil on site in a designated, controlled area, not adjacent to public
resources and critical areas. Stockpiled topsoil is to be reapplied to
other portions of the site where feasible.
•Locate the topsoil stockpile so that it meets specifications and does not
interfere with work on the site. It may be possible to locate more than
one pile in proximity to areas where topsoil will be used.
Stockpiling of topsoil shall occur in the following manner:
•Side slopes of the stockpile shall not exceed 2H:1V.
•Between October 1 and April 30:
•An interceptor dike with gravel outlet and silt fence shall
surround all topsoil.
•Within 2 days complete erosion control seeding, or covering
stockpiles with clear plastic, or other mulching materials.
•Between May 1 and September 30:
•An interceptor dike with gravel outlet and silt fence shall
surround all topsoil if the stockpile will remain in place for a
longer period of time than active construction grading.
•Within 7 days complete erosion control seeding, or covering
stockpiles with clear plastic, or other mulching materials.
•When native topsoil is to be stockpiled and reused the following
should apply to ensure that the mycorrhizal bacterial, earthworms, and
other beneficial organisms will not be destroyed:
1.Re-install topsoil within 4 to 6 weeks.
2. Do not allow the saturation of topsoil with water.
3. Do not use plastic covering.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-32
Maintenance
Standards
•Inspect stockpiles regularly, especially after large storm events.
Stabilize any areas that have eroded.
•Establish soil quality and depth toward the end of construction and
once established, protect from compaction, such as from large
machinery use, and from erosion.
•Plant and mulch soil after installation.
•Leave plant debris or its equivalent on the soil surface to replenish
organic matter.
•Reduce and adjust, where possible, the use of irrigation, fertilizers,
herbicides and pesticides, rather than continuing to implement
formerly established practices.
BMP C126: Polyacrylamide (PAM) for Soil Erosion Protection
Purpose Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used on construction sites to prevent soil
erosion.
Applying PAM to bare soil in advance of a rain event significantly reduces
erosion and controls sediment in two ways. First, PAM increases the soil’s
available pore volume, thus increasing infiltration through flocculation
and reducing the quantity of stormwater runoff. Second, it increases
flocculation of suspended particles and aids in their deposition, thus
reducing stormwater runoff turbidity and improving water quality.
Conditions of Use PAM shall not be directly applied to water or allowed to enter a water
body.
In areas that drain to a sediment pond, PAM can be applied to bare soil
under the following conditions:
•During rough grading operations.
•In Staging areas.
•Balanced cut and fill earthwork.
•Haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing.
•Compacted soil roadbase.
•Stockpiles.
•After final grade and before paving or final seeding and planting.
•Pit sites.
•Sites having a winter shut down. In the case of winter shut down, or
where soil will remain unworked for several months, PAM should be
used together with mulch.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-33
Design and
Installation
Specifications
PAM may be applied with water in dissolved form. The preferred
application method is the dissolved form.
PAM is to be applied at a maximum rate of 2/3 pound PAM per 1,000
gallons water (80 mg/L) per 1 acre of bare soil. Table 4.1.9 can be used to
determine the PAM and water application rate for a disturbed soil area.
Higher concentrations of PAM do not provide any additional effectiveness.
Table 4.1.9
PAM and Water Application Rates
Disturbed Area (ac) PAM (lbs) Water (gal)
0.50 0.33 500
1.00 0.66 1,000
1.50 1.00 1,500
2.00 1.32 2,000
2.50 1.65 2,500
3.00 2.00 3,000
3.50 2.33 3,500
4.00 2.65 4,000
4.50 3.00 4,500
5.00 3.33 5,000
The Preferred Method:
•Pre-measure the area where PAM is to be applied and calculate the
amount of product and water necessary to provide coverage at the
specified application rate (2/3 pound PAM/1000 gallons/acre).
•PAM has infinite solubility in water, but dissolves very slowly.
Dissolve pre-measured dry granular PAM with a known quantity of
clean water in a bucket several hours or overnight. Mechanical mixing
will help dissolve the PAM. Always add PAM to water - not water to
PAM.
•Pre-fill the water truck about 1/8 full with water. The water does not
have to be potable, but it must have relatively low turbidity – in the
range of 20 NTU or less.
•Add PAM /Water mixture to the truck
•Completely fill the water truck to specified volume.
•Spray PAM/Water mixture onto dry soil until the soil surface is
uniformly and completely wetted.
An Alternate Method:
PAM may also be applied as a powder at the rate of 5 lbs. per acre. This
must be applied on a day that is dry. For areas less than 5-10 acres, a hand-
held “organ grinder” fertilizer spreader set to the smallest setting will
work. Tractor-mounted spreaders will work for larger areas.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-34
The following shall be used for application of powdered PAM:
•Powered PAM shall be used in conjunction with other BMPs and not
in place of other BMPs.
•Do not use PAM on a slope that flows directly into a stream or
wetland. The stormwater runoff shall pass through a sediment control
BMP prior to discharging to surface waters.
•Do not add PAM to water discharging from site.
•When the total drainage area is greater than or equal to 5 acres, PAM
treated areas shall drain to a sediment pond.
•Areas less than 5 acres shall drain to sediment control BMPs, such as a
minimum of 3 check dams per acre. The total number of check dams
used shall be maximized to achieve the greatest amount of settlement
of sediment prior to discharging from the site. Each check dam shall
be spaced evenly in the drainage channel through which stormwater
flows are discharged off-site.
•On all sites, the use of silt fence shall be maximized to limit the
discharges of sediment from the site.
•All areas not being actively worked shall be covered and protected
from rainfall. PAM shall not be the only cover BMP used.
•PAM can be applied to wet soil, but dry soil is preferred due to less
sediment loss.
•PAM will work when applied to saturated soil but is not as effective as
applications to dry or damp soil.
•Keep the granular PAM supply out of the sun. Granular PAM loses its
effectiveness in three months after exposure to sunlight and air.
•Proper application and re-application plans are necessary to ensure
total effectiveness of PAM usage.
•PAM, combined with water, is very slippery and can be a safety
hazard. Care must be taken to prevent spills of PAM powder onto
paved surfaces. During an application of PAM, prevent over-spray
from reaching pavement as pavement will become slippery. If PAM
powder gets on skin or clothing, wipe it off with a rough towel rather
than washing with water-this only makes cleanup messier and take
longer.
•Some PAMs are more toxic and carcinogenic than others. Only the
most environmentally safe PAM products should be used.
The specific PAM copolymer formulation must be anionic. Cationic
PAM shall not be used in any application because of known
aquatic toxicity problems. Only the highest drinking water grade
PAM, certified for compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-35
drinking water treatment, will be used for soil applications. Recent
media attention and high interest in PAM has resulted in some
entrepreneurial exploitation of the term "polymer." All PAM are
polymers, but not all polymers are PAM, and not all PAM products
comply with ANSI/NSF Standard 60. PAM use shall be reviewed and
approved by the local permitting authority.
• PAM designated for these uses should be "water soluble" or "linear" or
"non-crosslinked". Cross-linked or water absorbent PAM, polymerized
in highly acidic (pH<2) conditions, are used to maintain soil moisture
content.
• The PAM anionic charge density may vary from 2-30 percent; a value
of 18 percent is typical. Studies conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA)/ARS demonstrated that soil
stabilization was optimized by using very high molecular weight (12-
15 mg/mole), highly anionic (>20% hydrolysis) PAM.
• PAM tackifiers are available and being used in place of guar and alpha
plantago. Typically, PAM tackifiers should be used at a rate of no more
than 0.5-1 lb. per 1000 gallons of water in a hydromulch machine. Some
tackifier product instructions say to use at a rate of 3 –5 lbs. per acre,
which can be too much. In addition, pump problems can occur at higher
rates due to increased viscosity.
Maintenance
Standards
• PAM may be reapplied on actively worked areas after a 48-hour
period.
• Reapplication is not required unless PAM treated soil is disturbed or
unless turbidity levels show the need for an additional application. If
PAM treated soil is left undisturbed a reapplication may be necessary
after two months. More PAM applications may be required for steep
slopes, silty and clayey soils (USDA Classification Type "C" and "D"
soils), long grades, and high precipitation areas. When PAM is applied
first to bare soil and then covered with straw, a reapplication may not
be necessary for several months.
• Loss of sediment and PAM may be a basis for penalties per RCW
90.48.080.
BMP C130: Surface Roughening
Purpose Surface roughening aids in the establishment of vegetative cover, reduces
runoff velocity, increases infiltration, and provides for sediment trapping
through the provision of a rough soil surface. Horizontal depressions are
created by operating a tiller or other suitable equipment on the contour or
by leaving slopes in a roughened condition by not fine grading them.
Use this BMP in conjunction with other BMPs such as seeding, mulching,
or sodding.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-36
Conditions for
Use
• All slopes steeper than 3H:1V and greater than 5 vertical feet
require surface roughening to a depth of 2 to 4 inches prior to
seeding..
• Areas that will not be stabilized immediately may be roughened to
reduce runoff velocity until seeding takes place.
• Slopes with a stable rock face do not require roughening.
• Slopes where mowing is planned should not be excessively roughened.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
There are different methods for achieving a roughened soil surface on a
slope, and the selection of an appropriate method depends upon the type of
slope. Roughening methods include stair-step grading, grooving, contour
furrows, and tracking. See Figure 4.1.5 for tracking and contour furrows.
Factors to be considered in choosing a method are slope steepness, mowing
requirements, and whether the slope is formed by cutting or filling.
• Disturbed areas that will not require mowing may be stair-step graded,
grooved, or left rough after filling.
• Stair-step grading is particularly appropriate in soils containing large
amounts of soft rock. Each "step" catches material that sloughs from
above, and provides a level site where vegetation can become
established. Stairs should be wide enough to work with standard earth
moving equipment. Stair steps must be on contour or gullies will form
on the slope.
• Areas that will be mowed (these areas should have slopes less steep
than 3H:1V) may have small furrows left by disking, harrowing,
raking, or seed-planting machinery operated on the contour.
• Graded areas with slopes steeper than 3H:1V but less than 2H:1V
should be roughened before seeding. This can be accomplished in a
variety of ways, including "track walking," or driving a crawler tractor
up and down the slope, leaving a pattern of cleat imprints parallel to
slope contours.
• Tracking is done by operating equipment up and down the slope to
leave horizontal depressions in the soil.
Maintenance
Standards
• Areas that are graded in this manner should be seeded as quickly as
possible.
• Regular inspections should be made of the area. If rills appear, they
should be re-graded and re-seeded immediately.

BMP C131: Gradient Terraces
Purpose Gradient terraces reduce erosion damage by intercepting surface runoff
and conducting it to a stable outlet at a non-erosive velocity.
Conditions of Use • Gradient terraces normally are limited to denuded land having a water
erosion problem. They should not be constructed on deep sands or on
soils that are too stony, steep, or shallow to permit practical and
economical installation and maintenance. Gradient terraces may be
used only where suitable outlets are or will be made available. See
Figure 4.1.6 for gradient terraces.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
• The maximum vertical spacing of gradient terraces should be
determined by the following method:
VI = (0.8)s + y
Where: VI = vertical interval in feet
s = land rise per 100 feet, expressed in feet
y = a soil and cover variable with values from 1.0 to 4.0
Values of “y” are influenced by soil erodibility and cover practices.
The lower values are applicable to erosive soils where little to no
residue is left on the surface. The higher value is applicable only to
erosion-resistant soils where a large amount of residue (1½ tons of
straw/acre equivalent) is on the surface.
• The minimum constructed cross-section should meet the design
dimensions.
• The top of the constructed ridge should not be lower at any point than
the design elevation plus the specified overfill for settlement. The
opening at the outlet end of the terrace should have a cross section
equal to that specified for the terrace channel.
• Channel grades may be either uniform or variable with a maximum
grade of 0.6 feet per 100 feet length (0.6%). For short distances,
terrace grades may be increased to improve alignment. The channel
velocity should not exceed that which is nonerosive for the soil type.
• All gradient terraces should have adequate outlets. Such an outlet may
be a grassed waterway, vegetated area, or tile outlet. In all cases the
outlet must convey runoff from the terrace or terrace system to a point
where the outflow will not cause damage. Vegetative cover should be
used in the outlet channel.
• The design elevation of the water surface of the terrace should not be
lower than the design elevation of the water surface in the outlet at
their junction, when both are operating at design flow.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-39
•Vertical spacing determined by the above methods may be increased
as much as 0.5 feet or 10 percent, whichever is greater, to provide
better alignment or location, to avoid obstacles, to adjust for
equipment size, or to reach a satisfactory outlet. The drainage area
above the terrace should not exceed the area that would be drained by
a terrace with normal spacing.
•The terrace should have enough capacity to handle the peak runoff
expected from a 2-year, 24-hour design storm without overtopping.
•The terrace cross-section should be proportioned to fit the land slope.
The ridge height should include a reasonable settlement factor. The
ridge should have a minimum top width of 3 feet at the design height.
The minimum cross-sectional area of the terrace channel should be
8 square feet for land slopes of 5 percent or less, 7 square feet for
slopes from 5 to 8 percent, and 6 square feet for slopes steeper than
8 percent. The terrace can be constructed wide enough to be
maintained using a small vehicle.
Maintenance
Standards
•Maintenance should be performed as needed. Terraces should be
inspected regularly; at least once a year, and after large storm events.

BMP C140: Dust Control
Purpose Dust control prevents wind transport of dust from disturbed soil surfaces
onto roadways, drainage ways, and surface waters.
Conditions of Use • In areas (including roadways) subject to surface and air movement of
dust where on-site and off-site impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or
surface waters are likely.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•Vegetate or mulch areas that will not receive vehicle traffic. In areas
where planting, mulching, or paving is impractical, apply gravel or
landscaping rock.
•Limit dust generation by clearing only those areas where immediate
activity will take place, leaving the remaining area(s) in the original
condition. Maintain the original ground cover as long as practical.
•Construct natural or artificial windbreaks or windscreens. These may
be designed as enclosures for small dust sources.
•Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet. Repeat as needed. To
prevent carryout of mud onto street, refer to Stabilized Construction
Entrance (BMP C105).
•Irrigation water can be used for dust control. Irrigation systems should
be installed as a first step on sites where dust control is a concern.
•Spray exposed soil areas with a dust palliative, following the
manufacturer’s instructions and cautions regarding handling and
application. Used oil is prohibited from use as a dust suppressant.
Local governments may approve other dust palliatives such as calcium
chloride or PAM.
•PAM (BMP C126) added to water at a rate of 0.5 lbs. per 1,000
gallons of water per acre and applied from a water truck is more
effective than water alone. This is due to increased infiltration of water
into the soil and reduced evaporation. In addition, small soil particles
are bonded together and are not as easily transported by wind. Adding
PAM may actually reduce the quantity of water needed for dust
control. Use of PAM could be a cost-effective dust control method.
Techniques that can be used for unpaved roads and lots include:
•Lower speed limits. High vehicle speed increases the amount of dust
stirred up from unpaved roads and lots.
•Upgrade the road surface strength by improving particle size, shape,
and mineral types that make up the surface and base materials.
•Add surface gravel to reduce the source of dust emission. Limit the
amount of fine particles (those smaller than .075 mm) to 10 to 20
percent.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-41
•Use geotextile fabrics to increase the strength of new roads or roads
undergoing reconstruction.
•Encourage the use of alternate, paved routes, if available.
•Restrict use of paved roadways by tracked vehicles and heavy trucks
to prevent damage to road surface and base.
•Apply chemical dust suppressants using the admix method, blending
the product with the top few inches of surface material. Suppressants
may also be applied as surface treatments.
•Pave unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas.
•Use vacuum street sweepers.
•Remove mud and other dirt promptly so it does not dry and then turn
into dust.
•Limit dust-causing work on windy days.
•Contact your local Air Pollution Control Authority for guidance and
training on other dust control measures. Compliance with the local Air
Pollution Control Authority constitutes compliance with this BMP.

BMP C150: Materials on Hand
Purpose Keep quantities of erosion prevention and sediment control materials on
the project site at all times to be used for regular maintenance and
emergency situations such as unexpected heavy summer rains. Having
these materials on-site reduces the time needed to implement BMPs when
inspections indicate that existing BMPs are not meeting the Construction
SWPPP requirements. In addition, contractors can save money by buying
some materials in bulk and storing them at their office or yard.
Conditions of Use • Construction projects of any size or type can benefit from having
materials on hand. A small commercial development project could
have a roll of plastic and some gravel available for immediate
protection of bare soil and temporary berm construction. A large
earthwork project, such as highway construction, might have several
tons of straw, several rolls of plastic, flexible pipe, sandbags,
geotextile fabric and steel “T” posts.
•Materials are stockpiled and readily available before any site clearing,
grubbing, or earthwork begins. A large contractor or developer could
keep a stockpile of materials that are available for use on several
projects.
•If storage space at the project site is at a premium, the contractor could
maintain the materials at their office or yard. The office or yard must
be less than an hour from the project site.

BMP C152: Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention
Purpose Sawcutting and surfacing operations generate slurry and process water
that contains fine particles and high pH (concrete cutting), both of which
can violate the water quality standards in the receiving water. Concrete
spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited.
Use this BMP to minimize and eliminate process water and slurry created
through sawcutting or surfacing from entering waters of the State.
Conditions of Use Utilize these management practices anytime sawcutting or surfacing

BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment
Purpose Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to the
stormwater system or watercourses from material delivery and storage.
Minimize the storage of hazardous materials on-site, store materials in a
designated area, and install secondary containment.
Conditions of Use These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with
delivery and storage of the following materials:
• Petroleum products such as fuel, oil and grease
• Soil stabilizers and binders (e.g., Polyacrylamide)
• Fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides
• Detergents
• Asphalt and concrete compounds
• Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, adhesives, paints, solvents,
and curing compounds
• Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the
environment
Design and
Installation
Specifications
The following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
• Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic,
near the construction entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm
drains.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all
materials stored. Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled
containers.
• Hazardous material storage on-site should be minimized.
• Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible.
• During the wet weather season (Oct 1 – April 30), consider storing
materials in a covered area.
• Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen
dike, horse trough, or even a children’s wading pool for non-reactive
materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of
material may be secondarily contained in “bus boy” trays or concrete
mixing trays.
• Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the
ground. Place these items on a pallet and, when possible, and within
secondary containment.
• If drums must be kept uncovered, store them at a slight angle to reduce
ponding of rainwater on the lids to reduce corrosion. Domed plastic
covers are inexpensive and snap to the top of drums, preventing water
from collecting.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Material Storage Areas and Secondary Containment Practices:
•Liquids, petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts
110, 117, or 302 shall be stored in approved containers and drums and
shall not be overfilled. Containers and drums shall be stored in
temporary secondary containment facilities.
•Temporary secondary containment facilities shall provide for a spill
containment volume able to contain 10% of the total enclosed
container volume of all containers, or 110% of the capacity of the
largest container within its boundary, whichever is greater.
•Secondary containment facilities shall be impervious to the materials
stored therein for a minimum contact time of 72 hours.
•Secondary containment facilities shall be maintained free of
accumulated rainwater and spills. In the event of spills or leaks,
accumulated rainwater and spills shall be collected and placed into
drums. These liquids shall be handled as hazardous waste unless
testing determines them to be non-hazardous.
•Sufficient separation should be provided between stored containers to
allow for spill cleanup and emergency response access.
•During the wet weather season (Oct 1 – April 30), each secondary
containment facility shall be covered during non-working days, prior
to and during rain events.
•Keep material storage areas clean, organized and equipped with an
ample supply of appropriate spill clean-up material (spill kit).
•The spill kit should include, at a minimum:
•1-Water Resistant Nylon Bag
•3-Oil Absorbent Socks 3”x 4’
•2-Oil Absorbent Socks 3”x 10’
•12-Oil Absorbent Pads 17”x19”

BMP C154: Concrete Washout Area
Purpose Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from concrete
waste by conducting washout off-site, or performing on-site washout in a
designated area to prevent pollutants from entering surface waters or
ground water.
Conditions of Use Concrete washout area best management practices are implemented on
construction projects where:
• Concrete is used as a construction material
• It is not possible to dispose of all concrete wastewater and washout
off-site (ready mix plant, etc.).
• Concrete trucks, pumpers, or other concrete coated equipment are
washed on-site.
• Note: If less than 10 concrete trucks or pumpers need to be washed out
on-site, the washwater may be disposed of in a formed area awaiting
concrete or an upland disposal site where it will not contaminate
surface or ground water. The upland disposal site shall be at least 50
feet from sensitive areas such as storm drains, open ditches, or water
bodies, including wetlands.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Implementation
The following steps will help reduce stormwater pollution from concrete
wastes:
• Perform washout of concrete trucks at an approved off-site location or
in designated concrete washout areas only.
• Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains,
open ditches, streets, or streams.
• Do not allow excess concrete to be dumped on-site, except in
designated concrete washout areas.
• Concrete washout areas may be prefabricated concrete washout
containers, or self-installed structures (above-grade or below-grade).
• Prefabricated containers are most resistant to damage and protect
against spills and leaks. Companies may offer delivery service and
provide regular maintenance and disposal of solid and liquid waste.
• If self-installed concrete washout areas are used, below-grade
structures are preferred over above-grade structures because they are
less prone to spills and leaks.
• Self-installed above-grade structures should only be used if excavation
is not practical.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-48
Education
•Discuss the concrete management techniques described in this BMP
with the ready-mix concrete supplier before any deliveries are made.
•Educate employees and subcontractors on the concrete waste
management techniques described in this BMP.
•Arrange for contractor’s superintendent or Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) to oversee and enforce concrete
waste management procedures.
•A sign should be installed adjacent to each temporary concrete
washout facility to inform concrete equipment operators to utilize the
proper facilities.
Contracts
Incorporate requirements for concrete waste management into concrete
supplier and subcontractor agreements.
Location and Placement
•Locate washout area at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as storm
drains, open ditches, or water bodies, including wetlands.
•Allow convenient access for concrete trucks, preferably near the area
where the concrete is being poured.
•If trucks need to leave a paved area to access washout, prevent track-
out with a pad of rock or quarry spalls (see BMP C105). These areas
should be far enough away from other construction traffic to reduce
the likelihood of accidental damage and spills.
•The number of facilities you install should depend on the expected
demand for storage capacity.
•On large sites with extensive concrete work, washouts should be
placed in multiple locations for ease of use by concrete truck drivers.
On-site Temporary Concrete Washout Facility, Transit Truck
Washout Procedures:
•Temporary concrete washout facilities shall be located a minimum of
50 ft from sensitive areas including storm drain inlets, open drainage
facilities, and watercourses. See Figures 4.1.7 and 4.1.8.
•Concrete washout facilities shall be constructed and maintained in
sufficient quantity and size to contain all liquid and concrete waste
generated by washout operations.
•Washout of concrete trucks shall be performed in designated areas
only.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-49
• Concrete washout from concrete pumper bins can be washed into
concrete pumper trucks and discharged into designated washout area
or properly disposed of off-site.
• Once concrete wastes are washed into the designated area and allowed
to harden, the concrete should be broken up, removed, and disposed of
per applicable solid waste regulations. Dispose of hardened concrete
on a regular basis.
• Temporary Above-Grade Concrete Washout Facility
• Temporary concrete washout facility (type above grade) should be
constructed as shown on the details below, with a recommended
minimum length and minimum width of 10 ft, but with sufficient
quantity and volume to contain all liquid and concrete waste
generated by washout operations.
• Plastic lining material should be a minimum of 10 mil
polyethylene sheeting and should be free of holes, tears, or other
defects that compromise the impermeability of the material.
• Temporary Below-Grade Concrete Washout Facility
• Temporary concrete washout facilities (type below grade) should
be constructed as shown on the details below, with a recommended
minimum length and minimum width of 10 ft. The quantity and
volume should be sufficient to contain all liquid and concrete
waste generated by washout operations.
• Lath and flagging should be commercial type.
• Plastic lining material shall be a minimum of 10 mil polyethylene
sheeting and should be free of holes, tears, or other defects that
compromise the impermeability of the material.
• Liner seams shall be installed in accordance with manufacturers’
recommendations.
• Soil base shall be prepared free of rocks or other debris that may
cause tears or holes in the plastic lining material.

4-50
• If using prefabricated containers, check for leaks.
• Washout facilities shall be maintained to provide adequate holding
capacity with a minimum freeboard of 12 inches.
• Washout facilities must be cleaned, or new facilities must be
constructed and ready for use once the washout is 75% full.
• If the washout is nearing capacity, vacuum and dispose of the waste
material in an approved manner.
• Do not discharge liquid or slurry to waterways, storm drains or
directly onto ground.
• Do not use sanitary sewer without local approval.
• Place a secure, non-collapsing, non-water collecting cover over the
concrete washout facility prior to predicted wet weather to prevent
accumulation and overflow of precipitation.
• Remove and dispose of hardened concrete and return the structure
to a functional condition. Concrete may be reused on-site or hauled
away for disposal or recycling.
• When you remove materials from the self-installed concrete washout,
build a new structure; or, if the previous structure is still intact, inspect
for signs of weakening or damage, and make any necessary repairs.
Re-line the structure with new plastic after each cleaning.
Removal of Temporary Concrete Washout Facilities
• When temporary concrete washout facilities are no longer required for
the work, the hardened concrete, slurries and liquids shall be removed
and properly disposed of.
• Materials used to construct temporary concrete washout facilities shall
be removed from the site of the work and disposed of or recycled.
• Holes, depressions or other ground disturbance caused by the removal
of the temporary concrete washout facilities shall be backfilled,
repaired, and stabilized to prevent erosion.

BMP C160: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Purpose The project proponent designates at least one person as the responsible
representative in charge of erosion and sediment control (ESC), and water
quality protection. The designated person shall be the Certified Erosion
and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) who is responsible for ensuring
compliance with all local, state, and federal erosion and sediment control
and water quality requirements.
Conditions of Use A CESCL shall be made available on projects one acre or larger that
discharge stormwater to surface waters of the state. Sites less than one
acre may have a person without CESCL certification conduct inspections;
sampling is not required on sites that disturb less than an acre.
• The CESCL shall:
• Have a current certificate proving attendance in an erosion and
sediment control training course that meets the minimum ESC
training and certification requirements established by Ecology (see
details below).
Ecology will maintain a list of ESC training and certification
providers at:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/cescl.html
OR
• Be a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control
(CPESC); for additional information go to: www.cpesc.net
Specifications • Certification shall remain valid for three years.
• The CESCL shall have authority to act on behalf of the contractor or
developer and shall be available, or on-call, 24 hours per day
throughout the period of construction.
• The Construction SWPPP shall include the name, telephone number,
fax number, and address of the designated CESCL.
• A CESCL may provide inspection and compliance services for
multiple construction projects in the same geographic region.
Duties and responsibilities of the CESCL shall include, but are not limited
to the following:
• Maintaining permit file on site at all times which includes the
Construction SWPPP and any associated permits and plans.
• Directing BMP installation, inspection, maintenance, modification,
and removal.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

•Updating all project drawings and the Construction SWPPP with
changes made.
•Completing any sampling requirements including reporting results
using WebDMR.
•Keeping daily logs, and inspection reports. Inspection reports should
include:
•Inspection date/time.
•Weather information; general conditions during inspection and
approximate amount of precipitation since the last inspection.
•A summary or list of all BMPs implemented, including
observations of all erosion/sediment control structures or practices.
The following shall be noted:
1. Locations of BMPs inspected.
2. Locations of BMPs that need maintenance.
3. Locations of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or
intended.
4. Locations of where additional or different BMPs are required.
•Visual monitoring results, including a description of discharged
stormwater. The presence of suspended sediment, turbid water,
discoloration, and oil sheen shall be noted, as applicable.
•Any water quality monitoring performed during inspection.
•General comments and notes, including a brief description of
any BMP repairs, maintenance or installations made as a result
of the inspection.
•Facilitate, participate in, and take corrective actions resulting from
inspections performed by outside agencies or the owner.
BMP C162: Scheduling
Purpose Sequencing a construction project reduces the amount and duration of soil
exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking.
Conditions of Use The construction sequence schedule is an orderly listing of all major land-
disturbing activities together with the necessary erosion and sedimentation
control measures planned for the project. This type of schedule guides the
contractor on work to be done before other work is started so that serious
erosion and sedimentation problems can be avoided.
Following a specified work schedule that coordinates the timing of land-
disturbing activities and the installation of control measures is perhaps the
most cost-effective way of controlling erosion during construction. The
removal of surface ground cover leaves a site vulnerable to accelerated
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-55
erosion. Construction procedures that limit land clearing provide timely
installation of erosion and sedimentation controls, and restore protective
cover quickly can significantly reduce the erosion potential of a site.
Design
Considerations
•Minimize construction during rainy periods.
•Schedule projects to disturb only small portions of the site at any one
time. Complete grading as soon as possible. Immediately stabilize the
disturbed portion before grading the next portion. Practice staged
seeding in order to revegetate cut and fill slopes as the work
progresses.

BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale
Purpose Provide a ridge of compacted soil, or a ridge with an upslope swale, at the
top or base of a disturbed slope or along the perimeter of a disturbed
construction area to convey stormwater. Use the dike and/or swale to
intercept the runoff from unprotected areas and direct it to areas where
erosion can be controlled. This can prevent storm runoff from entering the
work area or sediment-laden runoff from leaving the construction site.
Conditions of Use Where the runoff from an exposed site or disturbed slope must be conveyed
to an erosion control facility which can safely convey the stormwater.
•Locate upslope of a construction site to prevent runoff from entering
disturbed area.
•When placed horizontally across a disturbed slope, it reduces the
amount and velocity of runoff flowing down the slope.
•Locate downslope to collect runoff from a disturbed area and direct
water to a sediment basin.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•Dike and/or swale and channel must be stabilized with temporary or
permanent vegetation or other channel protection during construction.
•Channel requires a positive grade for drainage; steeper grades require
channel protection and check dams.
•Review construction for areas where overtopping may occur.
•Can be used at top of new fill before vegetation is established.
•May be used as a permanent diversion channel to carry the runoff.
•Sub-basin tributary area should be one acre or less.
•Design capacity for the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a
10-minute time step from a 10-year, 24-hour storm, assuming a Type
1A rainfall distribution, for temporary facilities. Alternatively, use 1.6
times the 10-year, 1-hour flow indicated by an approved continuous
runoff model. For facilities that will also serve on a permanent basis,
consult the local government’s drainage requirements.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Interceptor dikes shall meet the following criteria:
Top Width 2 feet minimum.
Height 1.5 feet minimum on berm.
Side Slope 2H:1V or flatter.
Grade Depends on topography, however, dike system minimum is
0.5%, and maximum is 1%.
Compaction Minimum of 90 percent ASTM D698 standard proctor.

(4 to 10)H:1V 10-25%100 feet
(2 to 4)H:1V 25-50%50 feet
Stabilization depends on velocity and reach
Slopes <5% Seed and mulch applied within 5 days of dike
construction (see BMP C121, Mulching).
Slopes 5 - 40% Dependent on runoff velocities and dike materials.
Stabilization should be done immediately using either sod
or riprap or other measures to avoid erosion.
•The upslope side of the dike shall provide positive drainage to the dike
outlet. No erosion shall occur at the outlet. Provide energy dissipation
measures as necessary. Sediment-laden runoff must be released
through a sediment trapping facility.
•Minimize construction traffic over temporary dikes. Use temporary
cross culverts for channel crossing.
Interceptor swales shall meet the following criteria:
Bottom Width 2 feet minimum; the cross-section bottom shall be
level.
Depth 1-foot minimum.
Side Slope 2H:1V or flatter.
Grade Maximum 5 percent, with positive drainage to a
suitable outlet (such as a sediment pond).
Stabilization Seed as per BMP C120, Temporary and
Permanent Seeding, or BMP C202, Channel
Lining, 12 inches thick riprap pressed into the bank
and extending at least 8 inches vertical from the
bottom.
•Inspect diversion dikes and interceptor swales once a week and after
every rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow area.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-59
•Damage caused by construction traffic or other activity must be
repaired before the end of each working day.
Check outlets and make timely repairs as needed to avoid gully formation.
When the area below the temporary diversion dike is permanently
stabilized, remove the dike and fill and stabilize the channel to blend with
the natural surface.
BMP C201: Grass-Lined Channels
Purpose To provide a channel with a vegetative lining for conveyance of runoff.
See Figure 4.2.1 for typical grass-lined channels.
Conditions of Use This practice applies to construction sites where concentrated runoff needs
to be contained to prevent erosion or flooding.
•When a vegetative lining can provide sufficient stability for the
channel cross section and at lower velocities of water (normally
dependent on grade). This means that the channel slopes are generally
less than 5 percent and space is available for a relatively large cross
section.
•Typical uses include roadside ditches, channels at property boundaries,
outlets for diversions, and other channels and drainage ditches in low
areas.
•Channels that will be vegetated should be installed before major
earthwork and hydroseeded with a bonded fiber matrix (BFM). The
vegetation should be well established (i.e., 75 percent cover) before
water is allowed to flow in the ditch. With channels that will have high
flows, erosion control blankets should be installed over the hydroseed.
If vegetation cannot be established from seed before water is allowed
in the ditch, sod should be installed in the bottom of the ditch in lieu of
hydromulch and blankets.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Locate the channel where it can conform to the topography and other
features such as roads.
•Locate them to use natural drainage systems to the greatest extent
possible.
•Avoid sharp changes in alignment or bends and changes in grade.
•Do not reshape the landscape to fit the drainage channel.
•The maximum design velocity shall be based on soil conditions, type
of vegetation, and method of revegetation, but at no times shall
velocity exceed 5 feet/second. The channel shall not be overtopped by
the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-minute time step
from a 10-year, 24-hour storm, assuming a Type 1A rainfall
distribution. Alternatively, use 1.6 times the 10-year, 1-hour flow
indicated by an approved continuous runoff model to determine a flow
rate which the channel must contain.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-60
• Where the grass-lined channel will also function as a permanent
stormwater conveyance facility, consult the drainage conveyance
requirements of the local government with jurisdiction.
• An established grass or vegetated lining is required before the channel
can be used to convey stormwater, unless stabilized with nets or
blankets.
• If design velocity of a channel to be vegetated by seeding exceeds 2
ft/sec, a temporary channel liner is required. Geotextile or special
mulch protection such as fiberglass roving or straw and netting
provides stability until the vegetation is fully established. See Figure
4.2.2.
• Check dams shall be removed when the grass has matured sufficiently
to protect the ditch or swale unless the slope of the swale is greater
than 4 percent. The area beneath the check dams shall be seeded and
mulched immediately after dam removal.
• If vegetation is established by sodding, the permissible velocity for
established vegetation may be used and no temporary liner is needed.
• Do not subject grass-lined channel to sedimentation from disturbed
areas. Use sediment-trapping BMPs upstream of the channel.
• V-shaped grass channels generally apply where the quantity of water is
small, such as in short reaches along roadsides. The V-shaped cross
section is least desirable because it is difficult to stabilize the bottom
where velocities may be high.
• Trapezoidal grass channels are used where runoff volumes are large
and slope is low so that velocities are nonerosive to vegetated linings.
(Note: it is difficult to construct small parabolic shaped channels.)
• Subsurface drainage, or riprap channel bottoms, may be necessary on
sites that are subject to prolonged wet conditions due to long duration
flows or a high water table.
• Provide outlet protection at culvert ends and at channel intersections.
• Grass channels, at a minimum, should carry peak runoff for temporary
construction drainage facilities from the 10-year, 24-hour storm
without eroding. Where flood hazard exists, increase the capacity
according to the potential damage.
• Grassed channel side slopes generally are constructed 3H:1V or flatter
to aid in the establishment of vegetation and for maintenance.
• Construct channels a minimum of 0.2 foot larger around the periphery
to allow for soil bulking during seedbed preparations and sod buildup.

Maintenance
Standards
During the establishment period, check grass-lined channels after every
rainfall.
•After grass is established, periodically check the channel; check it after
every heavy rainfall event. Immediately make repairs.
•It is particularly important to check the channel outlet and all road
crossings for bank stability and evidence of piping or scour holes.
•Remove all significant sediment accumulations to maintain the
designed carrying capacity. Keep the grass in a healthy, vigorous
condition at all times, since it is the primary erosion protection for the
channel.

BMP C202: Channel Lining
Purpose To protect channels by providing a channel liner using either blankets or
riprap.
Conditions of
Use
When natural soils or vegetated stabilized soils in a channel are not adequate
to prevent channel erosion.
• When a permanent ditch or pipe system is to be installed and a
temporary measure is needed.
• In almost all cases, synthetic and organic coconut blankets are more
effective than riprap for protecting channels from erosion. Blankets
can be used with and without vegetation. Blanketed channels can be
designed to handle any expected flow and longevity requirement.
Some synthetic blankets have a predicted life span of 50 years or
more, even in sunlight.
• Other reasons why blankets are better than rock include the availability
of blankets over rock. In many areas of the state, rock is not easily
obtainable or is very expensive to haul to a site. Blankets can be
delivered anywhere. Rock requires the use of dump trucks to haul and
heavy equipment to place. Blankets usually only require laborers with
hand tools, and sometimes a backhoe.
• The Federal Highway Administration recommends not using flexible
liners whenever the slope exceeds 10 percent or the shear stress
exceeds 8 lbs/ft2.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
See BMP C122 for information on blankets.
Since riprap is used where erosion potential is high, construction must be
sequenced so that the riprap is put in place with the minimum possible
delay.
• Disturbance of areas where riprap is to be placed should be undertaken
only when final preparation and placement of the riprap can follow
immediately behind the initial disturbance. Where riprap is used for
outlet protection, the riprap should be placed before or in conjunction
with the construction of the pipe or channel so that it is in place when
the pipe or channel begins to operate.
• The designer, after determining the riprap size that will be stable under
the flow conditions, shall consider that size to be a minimum size and
then, based on riprap gradations actually available in the area, select
the size or sizes that equal or exceed the minimum size. The possibility
of drainage structure damage by children shall be considered in
selecting a riprap size, especially if there is nearby water or a gully in
which to toss the stones.
• Stone for riprap shall consist of field stone or quarry stone of
approximately rectangular shape. The stone shall be hard and angular
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-65
and of such quality that it will not disintegrate on exposure to water or
weathering and it shall be suitable in all respects for the purpose
intended.
•A lining of engineering filter fabric (geotextile) shall be placed
between the riprap and the underlying soil surface to prevent soil
movement into or through the riprap. The geotextile should be keyed
in at the top of the bank.
•Filter fabric shall not be used on slopes greater than 1-1/2H:1V as
slippage may occur. It should be used in conjunction with a layer of
coarse aggregate (granular filter blanket) when the riprap to be placed
is 12 inches and larger.
BMP C203: Water Bars
Purpose A small ditch or ridge of material is constructed diagonally across a road
or right-of-way to divert stormwater runoff from the road surface, wheel
tracks, or a shallow road ditch. See Figure 4.2.3.
Conditions of use Clearing right-of-way and construction of access for power lines, pipelines, and
other similar installations often require long narrow right-of-ways over sloping
terrain. Disturbance and compaction promotes gully formation in these cleared
strips by increasing the volume and velocity of runoff. Gully formation may be
especially severe in tire tracks and ruts. To prevent gullying, runoff can often be
diverted across the width of the right-of-way to undisturbed areas by using small
predesigned diversions.
•Give special consideration to each individual outlet area, as well as to
the cumulative effect of added diversions. Use gravel to stabilize the
diversion where significant vehicular traffic is anticipated.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Height: 8-inch minimum measured from the channel bottom to the ridge top.
•Side slope of channel: 2H:1V maximum; 3H:1V or flatter when vehicles
will cross.
•Base width of ridge: 6-inch minimum.
•Locate them to use natural drainage systems and to discharge into well
vegetated stable areas.
•Guideline for Spacing:

•Grade of water bar and angle: Select angle that results in ditch slope
less than 2 percent.
•Install as soon as the clearing and grading is complete. Reconstruct
when construction is complete on a section when utilities are being
installed.
•Compact the ridge when installed.
•Stabilize, seed, and mulch the portions that are not subject to traffic.
Gravel the areas crossed by vehicles.
Maintenance
Standards
Periodically inspect right-of-way diversions for wear and after every heavy
rainfall for erosion damage.
•Immediately remove sediment from the flow area and repair the dike.
•Check outlet areas and make timely repairs as needed.
•When permanent road drainage is established and the area above the
temporary right-of-way diversion is permanently stabilized, remove
the dikes and fill the channel to blend with the natural ground, and
appropriately stabilize the disturbed area.

BMP C204: Pipe Slope Drains
Purpose To use a pipe to convey stormwater anytime water needs to be diverted
away from or over bare soil to prevent gullies, channel erosion, and
saturation of slide-prone soils.
Conditions of Use Pipe slope drains should be used when a temporary or permanent
stormwater conveyance is needed to move the water down a steep slope to
avoid erosion (Figure 4.2.4).
On highway projects, pipe slope drains should be used at bridge ends to
collect runoff and pipe it to the base of the fill slopes along bridge
approaches. These can be designed into a project and included as bid
items. Another use on road projects is to collect runoff from pavement and
pipe it away from side slopes. These are useful because there is generally a
time lag between having the first lift of asphalt installed and the curbs,
gutters, and permanent drainage installed. Used in conjunction with sand
bags, or other temporary diversion devices, these will prevent massive
amounts of sediment from leaving a project.
Water can be collected, channeled with sand bags, Triangular Silt Dikes,
berms, or other material, and piped to temporary sediment ponds.
Pipe slope drains can be:
• Connected to new catch basins and used temporarily until all
permanent piping is installed;
• Used to drain water collected from aquifers exposed on cut slopes and
take it to the base of the slope;
• Used to collect clean runoff from plastic sheeting and direct it away
from exposed soil;
• Installed in conjunction with silt fence to drain collected water to a
controlled area;
• Used to divert small seasonal streams away from construction. They
have been used successfully on culvert replacement and extension
jobs. Large flex pipe can be used on larger streams during culvert
removal, repair, or replacement; and,
• Connected to existing down spouts and roof drains and used to divert
water away from work areas during building renovation, demolition,
and construction projects.
There are now several commercially available collectors that are attached
to the pipe inlet and help prevent erosion at the inlet.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Design and
Installation
Specifications
Size the pipe to convey the flow. The capacity for temporary drains shall be
sufficient to handle the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-
minute time step from a 10-year, 24-hour storm event, assuming a Type 1A
rainfall distribution. Alternatively, use 1.6 times the 10-year, 1-hour flow
indicated by an approved continuous runoff model.
Consult local drainage requirements for sizing permanent pipe slope drains.
• Use care in clearing vegetated slopes for installation.
• Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by installation.
• Use temporary drains on new cut or fill slopes.
• Use diversion dikes or swales to collect water at the top of the slope.
• Ensure that the entrance area is stable and large enough to direct flow
into the pipe.
• Piping of water through the berm at the entrance area is a common
failure mode.
• The entrance shall consist of a standard flared end section for culverts
12 inches and larger with a minimum 6-inch metal toe plate to prevent
runoff from undercutting the pipe inlet. The slope of the entrance shall
be at least 3 percent. Sand bags may also be used at pipe entrances as a
temporary measure.
• The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be
thoroughly compacted to prevent undercutting.
• The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain
and have watertight connecting bands.
• Slope drain sections shall be securely fastened together, fused or have
gasketed watertight fittings, and shall be securely anchored into the
soil.
• Thrust blocks should be installed anytime 90 degree bends are utilized.
Depending on size of pipe and flow, these can be constructed with
sand bags, straw bales staked in place, “t” posts and wire, or ecology
blocks.
• Pipe needs to be secured along its full length to prevent movement.
This can be done with steel “t” posts and wire. A post is installed on
each side of the pipe and the pipe is wired to them. This should be
done every 10-20 feet of pipe length or so, depending on the size of
the pipe and quantity of water to divert.
• Interceptor dikes shall be used to direct runoff into a slope drain. The
height of the dike shall be at least 1 foot higher at all points than the
top of the inlet pipe.
• The area below the outlet must be stabilized with a riprap apron (see
BMP C209 Outlet Protection, for the appropriate outlet material).
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-69
• If the pipe slope drain is conveying sediment-laden water, direct all
flows into the sediment trapping facility.
• Materials specifications for any permanent piped system shall be set
by the local government.
Maintenance
Standards
Check inlet and outlet points regularly, especially after storms.
The inlet should be free of undercutting, and no water should be going
around the point of entry. If there are problems, the headwall should be
reinforced with compacted earth or sand bags.
• The outlet point should be free of erosion and installed with
appropriate outlet protection.
• For permanent installations, inspect pipe periodically for vandalism and
physical distress such as slides and wind-throw.
• Normally the pipe slope is so steep that clogging is not a problem with
smooth wall pipe, however, debris may become lodged in the pipe.

BMP C205: Subsurface Drains
Purpose To intercept, collect, and convey ground water to a satisfactory outlet,
using a perforated pipe or conduit below the ground surface. Subsurface
drains are also known as “french drains.” The perforated pipe provides a
dewatering mechanism to drain excessively wet soils, provide a stable
base for construction, improve stability of structures with shallow
foundations, or to reduce hydrostatic pressure to improve slope stability.
Conditions of Use Use when excessive water must be removed from the soil. The soil
permeability, depth to water table and impervious layers are all factors
which may govern the use of subsurface drains.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Relief drains are used either to lower the water table in large, relatively
flat areas, improve the growth of vegetation, or to remove surface water.
Relief drains are installed along a slope and drain in the direction of the
slope.
They can be installed in a grid pattern, a herringbone pattern, or a random
pattern.
• Interceptor drains are used to remove excess ground water from a
slope, stabilize steep slopes, and lower the water table immediately
below a slope to prevent the soil from becoming saturated.
Interceptor drains are installed perpendicular to a slope and drain to the
side of the slope.
They usually consist of a single pipe or series of single pipes instead of a
patterned layout.
• Depth and spacing of interceptor drains --The depth of an
interceptor drain is determined primarily by the depth to which the
water table is to be lowered or the depth to a confining layer. For
practical reasons, the maximum depth is usually limited to 6 feet, with
a minimum cover of 2 feet to protect the conduit.
• The soil should have depth and sufficient permeability to permit
installation of an effective drainage system at a depth of 2 to 6 feet.
• An adequate outlet for the drainage system must be available either by
gravity or by pumping.
• The quantity and quality of discharge needs to be accounted for in the
receiving stream (additional detention may be required).
• This standard does not apply to subsurface drains for building
foundations or deep excavations.
• The capacity of an interceptor drain is determined by calculating the
maximum rate of ground water flow to be intercepted. Therefore, it is
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-71
good practice to make complete subsurface investigations, including
hydraulic conductivity of the soil, before designing a subsurface
drainage system.
• Size of drain--Size subsurface drains to carry the required capacity
without pressure flow. Minimum diameter for a subsurface drain is 4
inches.
• The minimum velocity required to prevent silting is 1.4 ft./sec. The
line shall be graded to achieve this velocity at a minimum. The
maximum allowable velocity using a sand-gravel filter or envelope is 9
ft/sec.
• Filter material and fabric shall be used around all drains for proper
bedding and filtration of fine materials. Envelopes and filters should
surround the drain to a minimum of 3-inch thickness.
• The outlet of the subsurface drain shall empty into a sediment pond
through a catch basin. If free of sediment, it can then empty into a
receiving channel, swale, or stable vegetated area adequately protected
from erosion and undermining.
• The trench shall be constructed on a continuous grade with no reverse
grades or low spots.
• Soft or yielding soils under the drain shall be stabilized with gravel or
other suitable material.
• Backfilling shall be done immediately after placement of the pipe. No
sections of pipe shall remain uncovered overnight or during a
rainstorm. Backfill material shall be placed in the trench in such a
manner that the drain pipe is not displaced or damaged.
• Do not install permanent drains near trees to avoid the tree roots that
tend to clog the line. Use solid pipe with watertight connections where
it is necessary to pass a subsurface drainage system through a stand of
trees.
• Outlet--Ensure that the outlet of a drain empties into a channel or
other watercourse above the normal water level.
• Secure an animal guard to the outlet end of the pipe to keep out
rodents.
• Use outlet pipe of corrugated metal, cast iron, or heavy-duty plastic
without perforations and at least 10 feet long. Do not use an envelope
or filter material around the outlet pipe, and bury at least two-thirds of
the pipe length.
• When outlet velocities exceed those allowable for the receiving
stream, outlet protection must be provided.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-72
Maintenance
Standards
Subsurface drains shall be checked periodically to ensure that they are
free-flowing and not clogged with sediment or roots.
•The outlet shall be kept clean and free of debris.
•Surface inlets shall be kept open and free of sediment and other debris.
•Trees located too close to a subsurface drain often clog the system
with their roots. If a drain becomes clogged, relocate the drain or
remove the trees as a last resort. Drain placement should be planned to
minimize this problem.
•Where drains are crossed by heavy vehicles, the line shall be checked
to ensure that it is not crushed.
BMP C206: Level Spreader
Purpose To provide a temporary outlet for dikes and diversions consisting of an
excavated depression constructed at zero grade across a slope. To convert
concentrated runoff to sheet flow and release it onto areas stabilized by
existing vegetation or an engineered filter strip.
Conditions of Use Used when a concentrated flow of water needs to be dispersed over a large
area with existing stable vegetation.
•Items to consider are:
1. What is the risk of erosion or damage if the flow may become
concentrated?
2.Is an easement required if discharged to adjoining property?
3. Most of the flow should be as ground water and not as surface
flow.
4. Is there an unstable area downstream that cannot accept additional
ground water?
•Use only where the slopes are gentle, the water volume is relatively
low, and the soil will adsorb most of the low flow events.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Use above undisturbed areas that are stabilized by existing vegetation.
If the level spreader has any low points, flow will concentrate, create
channels and may cause erosion.
•Discharge area below the outlet must be uniform with a slope flatter
than 5H:1V.
•Outlet to be constructed level in a stable, undisturbed soil profile (not
on fill).
•The runoff shall not re-concentrate after release unless intercepted by
another downstream measure.

•The grade of the channel for the last 20 feet of the dike or interceptor
entering the level spreader shall be less than or equal to 1 percent. The
grade of the level spreader shall be 0 percent to ensure uniform
spreading of storm runoff.
•A 6-inch high gravel berm placed across the level lip shall consist of
washed crushed rock, 2- to 4-inch or 3/4-inch to 1½-inch size.
•The spreader length shall be determined by estimating the peak flow
expected from the 10-year, 24-hour design storm. The length of the
spreader shall be a minimum of 15 feet for 0.1 cfs and shall increase
by 10 feet for each 0.1 cfs thereafter to a maximum of 0.5 cfs per
spreader. Use multiple spreaders for higher flows.
•The width of the spreader should be at least 6 feet.
•The depth of the spreader as measured from the lip should be at least 6
inches and it should be uniform across the entire length.
•Level spreaders shall be setback from the property line unless there is
an easement for flow.
•Level spreaders, when installed every so often in grassy swales, keep
the flows from concentrating. Materials that can be used include sand
bags, lumber, logs, concrete, and pipe. To function properly, the
material needs to be installed level and on contour. Figures
4.2.5Figure425 and 4.2.6 provide a cross-section and a detail of a level
spreader. A capped perforated pipe could also be used as a spreader.
Maintenance
Standards
The spreader should be inspected after every runoff event to ensure that it
is functioning correctly.
•The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on the
structure and should prevent construction traffic from crossing over
the structure.
•If the spreader is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be
immediately repaired.

BMP C207: Check Dams
Purpose Construction of small dams across a swale or ditch reduces the velocity of
concentrated flow and dissipates energy at the check dam.
Conditions of Use Where temporary channels or permanent channels are not yet vegetated,
channel lining is infeasible, and/or velocity checks are required.
•Check dams may not be placed in streams unless approved by the State
Department of Fish and Wildlife. Check dams may not be placed in
wetlands without approval from a permitting agency.
•Do not place check dams below the expected backwater from any
salmonid bearing water between October 1 and May 31 to ensure that
there is no loss of high flow refuge habitat for overwintering juvenile
salmonids and emergent salmonid fry.
•Construct rock check dams from appropriately sized rock. The rock
used must be large enough to stay in place given the expected design
flow through the channel. The rock must be placed by hand or by
mechanical means (no dumping of rock to form dam) to achieve
complete coverage of the ditch or swale and to ensure that the center
of the dam is lower than the edges.
•Check dams may also be constructed of either rock or pea-gravel filled
bags. Numerous new products are also available for this purpose. They
tend to be re-usable, quick and easy to install, effective, and cost
efficient.
•Place check dams perpendicular to the flow of water.
•The dam should form a triangle when viewed from the side. This
prevents undercutting as water flows over the face of the dam rather
than falling directly onto the ditch bottom.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-75
• Before installing check dams impound and bypass upstream water
flow away from the work area. Options for bypassing include pumps,
siphons, or temporary channels.
• Check dams in association with sumps work more effectively at
slowing flow and retaining sediment than just a check dam alone. A
deep sump should be provided immediately upstream of the check
dam.
• In some cases, if carefully located and designed, check dams can
remain as permanent installations with very minor regrading. They
may be left as either spillways, in which case accumulated sediment
would be graded and seeded, or as check dams to prevent further
sediment from leaving the site.
• The maximum spacing between the dams shall be such that the toe of
the upstream dam is at the same elevation as the top of the downstream
dam.
• Keep the maximum height at 2 feet at the center of the dam.
• Keep the center of the check dam at least 12 inches lower than the
outer edges at natural ground elevation.
• Keep the side slopes of the check dam at 2H:1V or flatter.
• Key the stone into the ditch banks and extend it beyond the abutments
a minimum of 18 inches to avoid washouts from overflow around the
dam.
• Use filter fabric foundation under a rock or sand bag check dam. If a
blanket ditch liner is used, filter fabric is not necessary. A piece of
organic or synthetic blanket cut to fit will also work for this purpose.
• In the case of grass-lined ditches and swales, all check dams and
accumulated sediment shall be removed when the grass has matured
sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale - unless the slope of the swale
is greater than 4 percent. The area beneath the check dams shall be
seeded and mulched immediately after dam removal.
• Ensure that channel appurtenances, such as culvert entrances below
check dams, are not subject to damage or blockage from displaced
stones. Figure 4.2.7 depicts a typical rock check dam.
Maintenance
Standards
Check dams shall be monitored for performance and sediment
accumulation during and after each runoff producing rainfall. Sediment
shall be removed when it reaches one half the sump depth.
• Anticipate submergence and deposition above the check dam and
erosion from high flows around the edges of the dam.
• If significant erosion occurs between dams, install a protective riprap
liner in that portion of the channel.

along its standard section of 7 feet. A sleeve at one end allows attachment
of additional sections as needed.
•Install with ends curved up to prevent water from flowing around the

Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one half the height of the
dam.
•Anticipate submergence and deposition above the triangular silt dam
and erosion from high flows around the edges of the dam. Immediately
repair any damage or any undercutting of the dam.
BMP C209: Outlet Protection
Purpose Outlet protection prevents scour at conveyance outlets and minimizes the
potential for downstream erosion by reducing the velocity of concentrated
stormwater flows.
Conditions of use Outlet protection is required at the outlets of all ponds, pipes, ditches, or
other conveyances, and where runoff is conveyed to a natural or manmade
drainage feature such as a stream, wetland, lake, or ditch.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
The receiving channel at the outlet of a culvert shall be protected from
erosion by rock lining a minimum of 6 feet downstream and extending up
the channel sides a minimum of 1–foot above the maximum tailwater
elevation or 1-foot above the crown, whichever is higher. For large pipes
(more than 18 inches in diameter), the outlet protection lining of the
channel is lengthened to four times the diameter of the culvert.
•Standard wingwalls, and tapered outlets and paved channels should
also be considered when appropriate for permanent culvert outlet
protection. (See WSDOT Hydraulic Manual, available through
WSDOT Engineering Publications).
•Organic or synthetic erosion blankets, with or without vegetation, are
usually more effective than rock, cheaper, and easier to install.
Materials can be chosen using manufacturer product specifications.
ASTM test results are available for most products and the designer can
choose the correct material for the expected flow.
•With low flows, vegetation (including sod) can be effective.
•The following guidelines shall be used for riprap outlet protection:
1. If the discharge velocity at the outlet is less than 5 fps (pipe slope
less than 1 percent), use 2-inch to 8-inch riprap. Minimum
thickness is 1-foot.
2. For 5 to 10 fps discharge velocity at the outlet (pipe slope less than
3 percent), use 24-inch to 48-inch riprap. Minimum thickness is 2
feet.
3. For outlets at the base of steep slope pipes (pipe slope greater than
10 percent), an engineered energy dissipater shall be used.
•Filter fabric or erosion control blankets should always be used under
riprap to prevent scour and channel erosion.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

• New pipe outfalls can provide an opportunity for low-cost fish habitat
improvements. For example, an alcove of low-velocity water can be
created by constructing the pipe outfall and associated energy
dissipater back from the stream edge and digging a channel, over-
widened to the upstream side, from the outfall. Overwintering juvenile
and migrating adult salmonids may use the alcove as shelter during
high flows. Bank stabilization, bioengineering, and habitat features
may be required for disturbed areas. This work may require a HPA.
See Volume V for more information on outfall system design.
Maintenance
Standards
• Inspect and repair as needed.
• Add rock as needed to maintain the intended function.
• Clean energy dissipater if sediment builds up.
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Purpose Storm drain inlet protection prevents coarse sediment from entering
drainage systems prior to permanent stabilization of the disturbed area.
Conditions of Use Use storm drain inlet protection at inlets that are operational before
permanent stabilization of the disturbed drainage area. Provide protection
for all storm drain inlets downslope and within 500 feet of a disturbed or
construction area, unless conveying runoff entering catch basins to a
sediment pond or trap.
Also consider inlet protection for lawn and yard drains on new home
construction. These small and numerous drains coupled with lack of
gutters in new home construction can add significant amounts of sediment
into the roof drain system. If possible delay installing lawn and yard drains
until just before landscaping or cap these drains to prevent sediment from
entering the system until completion of landscaping. Provide 18-inches of
sod around each finished lawn and yard drain.
Table 4.2.2 lists several options for inlet protection. All of the methods for
storm drain inlet protection tend to plug and require a high frequency of

emergency overflows with additional end-of-pipe treatment where
stormwater ponding would cause a hazard.

• Minimum volume of excavation 35 cubic yards.
• Shape basin to fit site with longest dimension oriented toward the
longest inflow area.
• Install provisions for draining to prevent standing water problems.
• Clear the area of all debris.
• Grade the approach to the inlet uniformly.
• Drill weep holes into the side of the inlet.
• Protect weep holes with screen wire and washed aggregate.
• Seal weep holes when removing structure and stabilizing area.

•Build a temporary dike, if necessary, to the down slope side of the
structure to prevent bypass flow.
Block and Gravel Filter - A barrier formed around the storm drain inlet
with standard concrete blocks and gravel. See Figure 4.2.8.
•Provide a height of 1 to 2 feet above inlet.
•Recess the first row 2-inches into the ground for stability.
•Support subsequent courses by placing a 2x4 through the block
opening.
•Do not use mortar.
•Lay some blocks in the bottom row on their side for dewatering the
pool.
•Place hardware cloth or comparable wire mesh with ½-inch openings
over all block openings.
•Place gravel just below the top of blocks on slopes of 2H:1V or flatter.
•An alternative design is a gravel donut.
•Provide an inlet slope of 3H:1V.
•Provide an outlet slope of 2H:1V.
•Provide a1-foot wide level stone area between the structure and the
inlet.
•Use inlet slope stones 3 inches in diameter or larger.
•Use gravel ½- to ¾-inch at a minimum thickness of 1-foot for the
outlet slope.

Gravel and Wire Mesh Filter - A gravel barrier placed over the top of the
inlet. This structure does not provide an overflow.
•Use a hardware cloth or comparable wire mesh with ½-inch openings.
•Use coarse aggregate.
•Provide a height 1-foot or more, 18-inches wider than inlet on all
sides.
•Place wire mesh over the drop inlet so that the wire extends a
minimum of 1-foot beyond each side of the inlet structure.
•Overlap the strips if more than one strip of mesh is necessary.
Ponding Height
Notes:
1. Drop inlet sediment barriers are to be used for small, nearly level drainage areas. (less than 5%)
2. Excavate a basin of sufficient size adjacent to the drop inlet.
3. The top of the structure (ponding height) must be well below the ground elevation downslope to prevent
runoff from bypassing the inlet. A temporary dike may be necessary on the downslope side of the structure.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-84
•Place coarse aggregate over the wire mesh.
•Provide at least a 12-inch depth of gravel over the entire inlet opening
and extend at least 18-inches on all sides.
Catchbasin Filters – Use inserts designed by manufacturers for
construction sites. The limited sediment storage capacity increases the
amount of inspection and maintenance required, which may be daily for
heavy sediment loads. To reduce maintenance requirements combine a
catchbasin filter with another type of inlet protection. This type of inlet
protection provides flow bypass without overflow and therefore may be a
better method for inlets located along active rights-of-way.
•Provides 5 cubic feet of storage.
•Requires dewatering provisions.
•Provides a high-flow bypass that will not clog under normal use at a
construction site.
•Insert the catchbasin filter in the catchbasin just below the grating.
Curb Inlet Protection with Wooden Weir – Barrier formed around a curb
inlet with a wooden frame and gravel.
•Use wire mesh with ½-inch openings.
•Use extra strength filter cloth.
•Construct a frame.
•Attach the wire and filter fabric to the frame.
•Pile coarse washed aggregate against wire/fabric.
•Place weight on frame anchors.
Block and Gravel Curb Inlet Protection – Barrier formed around a curb
inlet with concrete blocks and gravel. See Figure 4.2.9.
•Use wire mesh with ½-inch openings.
•Place two concrete blocks on their sides abutting the curb at either side
of the inlet opening. These are spacer blocks.
•Place a 2x4 stud through the outer holes of each spacer block to align
the front blocks.
•Place blocks on their sides across the front of the inlet and abutting the
spacer blocks.
•Place wire mesh over the outside vertical face.
•Pile coarse aggregate against the wire to the top of the barrier.
Curb and Gutter Sediment Barrier – Sandbag or rock berm (riprap and
aggregate) 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in a horseshoe shape. See Figure
4.2.10.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-85
•Construct a horseshoe shaped berm, faced with coarse aggregate if
using riprap, 3 feet high and 3 feet wide, at least 2 feet from the inlet.
•Construct a horseshoe shaped sedimentation trap on the outside of the
berm sized to sediment trap standards for protecting a culvert inlet.
Maintenance
Standards
•Inspect catch basin filters frequently, especially after storm events.
Clean and replace clogged inserts. For systems with clogged stone
filters: pull away the stones from the inlet and clean or replace. An
alternative approach would be to use the clogged stone as fill and put
fresh stone around the inlet.
•Do not wash sediment into storm drains while cleaning. Spread all
excavated material evenly over the surrounding land area or stockpile
and stabilize as appropriate.

BMP C231: Brush Barrier
Purpose The purpose of brush barriers is to reduce the transport of coarse sediment
from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to
sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use •Brush barriers may be used downslope of all disturbed areas of less
than one-quarter acre.
•Brush barriers are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are
they intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any
concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow can be
treated solely by a brush barrier, rather than by a sediment pond, is
when the area draining to the barrier is small.
•Brush barriers should only be installed on contours.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•Height 2 feet (minimum) to 5 feet (maximum).
•Width 5 feet at base (minimum) to 15 feet (maximum).
•Filter fabric (geotextile) may be anchored over the brush berm to
enhance the filtration ability of the barrier. Ten-ounce burlap is an
adequate alternative to filter fabric.
•Chipped site vegetation, composted mulch, or wood-based mulch (hog
fuel) can be used to construct brush barriers.
•A 100 percent biodegradable installation can be constructed using 10-
ounce burlap held in place by wooden stakes. Figure 4.2.11 depicts a
typical brush barrier.
Maintenance
Standards
•There shall be no signs of erosion or concentrated runoff under or
around the barrier. If concentrated flows are bypassing the barrier, it
must be expanded or augmented by toed-in filter fabric.
•The dimensions of the barrier must be maintained.

Maintenance
Standards
•Regular inspection is required. Sediment shall be removed and filter
material replaced as needed.
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Purpose Use of a silt fence reduces the transport of coarse sediment from a
construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment
and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. See Figure 4.2.12 for
details on silt fence construction.
Conditions of Use Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
•Silt fence shall prevent soil carried by runoff water from going
beneath, through, or over the top of the silt fence, but shall allow the
water to pass through the fence.
•Silt fence is not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor is it intended
to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Convey any
concentrated flows through the drainage system to a sediment pond.
•Do not construct silt fences in streams or use in V-shaped ditches. Silt
fences do not provide an adequate method of silt control for anything
deeper than sheet or overland flow.

•Filter fabric material shall contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and
stabilizers to provide a minimum of six months of expected usable
construction life at a temperature range of 0°F. to 120°F.
•One-hundred percent biodegradable silt fence is available that is
strong, long lasting, and can be left in place after the project is
completed, if permitted by local regulations.
•Refer to Figure 4.2.12 for standard silt fence details. Include the
following standard Notes for silt fence on construction plans and
specifications:
1.The contractor shall install and maintain temporary silt fences at
the locations shown in the Plans.
2. Construct silt fences in areas of clearing, grading, or drainage prior
to starting those activities.
3.The silt fence shall have a 2-feet min. and a 2½-feet max. height
above the original ground surface.
4.The filter fabric shall be sewn together at the point of manufacture
to form filter fabric lengths as required. Locate all sewn seams at
support posts. Alternatively, two sections of silt fence can be
overlapped, provided the Contractor can demonstrate, to the
satisfaction of the Engineer, that the overlap is long enough and
that the adjacent fence sections are close enough together to
prevent silt laden water from escaping through the fence at the
overlap.
5.Attach the filter fabric on the up-slope side of the posts and secure
with staples, wire, or in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Attach the filter fabric to the posts in a manner
that reduces the potential for tearing.
6.Support the filter fabric with wire or plastic mesh, dependent on
the properties of the geotextile selected for use. If wire or plastic
mesh is used, fasten the mesh securely to the up-slope side of the
posts with the filter fabric up-slope of the mesh.
7. Mesh support, if used, shall consist of steel wire with a maximum
mesh spacing of 2-inches, or a prefabricated polymeric mesh. The
strength of the wire or polymeric mesh shall be equivalent to or
greater than 180 lbs. grab tensile strength. The polymeric mesh
must be as resistant to the same level of ultraviolet radiation as the
filter fabric it supports.
8.Bury the bottom of the filter fabric 4-inches min. below the ground
surface. Backfill and tamp soil in place over the buried portion of
the filter fabric, so that no flow can pass beneath the fence and
scouring cannot occur. When wire or polymeric back-up support
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-92
mesh is used, the wire or polymeric mesh shall extend into the
ground 3-inches min.
9.Drive or place the fence posts into the ground 18-inches min. A
12–inch min. depth is allowed if topsoil or other soft subgrade soil
is not present and 18-inches cannot be reached. Increase fence post
min. depths by 6 inches if the fence is located on slopes of 3H:1V
or steeper and the slope is perpendicular to the fence. If required
post depths cannot be obtained, the posts shall be adequately
secured by bracing or guying to prevent overturning of the fence
due to sediment loading.
10. Use wood, steel or equivalent posts. The spacing of the support
posts shall be a maximum of 6-feet. Posts shall consist of either:
•Wood with dimensions of 2-inches by 2-inches wide min. and
a 3-feet min. length. Wood posts shall be free of defects such
as knots, splits, or gouges.
•No. 6 steel rebar or larger.
•ASTM A 120 steel pipe with a minimum diameter of 1-inch.
•U, T, L, or C shape steel posts with a minimum weight of 1.35
lbs./ft.
•Other steel posts having equivalent strength and bending
resistance to the post sizes listed above.
11.Locate silt fences on contour as much as possible, except at the
ends of the fence, where the fence shall be turned uphill such that
the silt fence captures the runoff water and prevents water from
flowing around the end of the fence.
12. If the fence must cross contours, with the exception of the ends of
the fence, place gravel check dams perpendicular to the back of the
fence to minimize concentrated flow and erosion. The slope of the
fence line where contours must be crossed shall not be steeper than
3H:1V.
•Gravel check dams shall be approximately 1-foot deep at the
back of the fence. Gravel check dams shall be continued
perpendicular to the fence at the same elevation until the top of
the check dam intercepts the ground surface behind the fence.
•Gravel check dams shall consist of crushed surfacing base
course, gravel backfill for walls, or shoulder ballast. Gravel
check dams shall be located every 10 feet along the fence
where the fence must cross contours.
•Refer to Figure 4.2.13 for slicing method details. Silt fence installation
using the slicing method specifications:
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-93
1. The base of both end posts must be at least 2- to 4-inches above the
top of the filter fabric on the middle posts for ditch checks to drain
properly. Use a hand level or string level, if necessary, to mark
base points before installation.
2.Install posts 3- to 4-feet apart in critical retention areas and 6- to 7-
feet apart in standard applications.
3.Install posts 24-inches deep on the downstream side of the silt
fence, and as close as possible to the filter fabric, enabling posts to
support the filter fabric from upstream water pressure.
4.Install posts with the nipples facing away from the filter fabric.
5.Attach the filter fabric to each post with three ties, all spaced
within the top 8-inches of the filter fabric. Attach each tie
diagonally 45 degrees through the filter fabric, with each puncture
at least 1-inch vertically apart. Each tie should be positioned to
hang on a post nipple when tightening to prevent sagging.
6.Wrap approximately 6-inches of fabric around the end posts and
secure with 3 ties.
7. No more than 24-inches of a 36-inch filter fabric is allowed above
ground level.
Compact the soil immediately next to the filter fabric with the front
wheel of the tractor, skid steer, or roller exerting at least 60 pounds
per square inch. Compact the upstream side first and then each side
twice for a total of four trips. Check and correct the silt fence
installation for any deviation before compaction. Use a flat-bladed
shovel to tuck fabric deeper into the ground if necessary.

Maintenance
Standards
•Repair any damage immediately.
•Intercept and convey all evident concentrated flows uphill of the silt
fence to a sediment pond.
•Check the uphill side of the fence for signs of the fence clogging and
acting as a barrier to flow and then causing channelization of flows
parallel to the fence. If this occurs, replace the fence or remove the
trapped sediment.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

•Remove sediment deposits when the deposit reaches approximately
one-third the height of the silt fence, or install a second silt fence.
•Replace filter fabric that has deteriorated due to ultraviolet breakdown.
BMP C234: Vegetated Strip
Purpose Vegetated strips reduce the transport of coarse sediment from a
construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment
and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use • Vegetated strips may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
•Vegetated strips are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are
they intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any
concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow can be
treated solely by a strip, rather than by a sediment pond, is when the
following criteria are met (see Table 4.2.4):
Table 4.2.4

6H:1V or flatter 16.7% or flatter 200 feet
10H:1V or flatter 10% or flatter 250 feet
Design and
Installation
Specifications
•The vegetated strip shall consist of a minimum of a 25-foot flowpath
length continuous strip of dense vegetation with topsoil. Grass-
covered, landscaped areas are generally not adequate because the
volume of sediment overwhelms the grass. Ideally, vegetated strips
shall consist of undisturbed native growth with a well-developed soil
that allows for infiltration of runoff.
•The slope within the strip shall not exceed 4H:1V.
•The uphill boundary of the vegetated strip shall be delineated with
clearing limits.
Maintenance
Standards
•Any areas damaged by erosion or construction activity shall be
seeded immediately and protected by mulch.
•If more than 5 feet of the original vegetated strip width has had
vegetation removed or is being eroded, sod must be installed.
•If there are indications that concentrated flows are traveling across the
buffer, surface water controls must be installed to reduce the flows

entering the buffer, or additional perimeter protection must be
installed.
BMP C235: Wattles
Purpose Wattles are temporary erosion and sediment control barriers consisting of
straw, compost, or other material that is wrapped in biodegradable tubular
plastic or similar encasing material. They reduce the velocity and can
spread the flow of rill and sheet runoff, and can capture and retain
sediment. Wattles are typically 8 to 10 inches in diameter and 25 to 30 feet
in length. Wattles are placed in shallow trenches and staked along the
contour of disturbed or newly constructed slopes. See Figure 4.2.14 for
typical construction details. WSDOT Standard Plan I-30.30-00 also
provides information on Wattles
(http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Design/Standards/Plans.htm#SectionI)
Conditions of Use • Use wattles:
• In disturbed areas that require immediate erosion protection.
• On exposed soils during the period of short construction delays, or
over winter months.
• On slopes requiring stabilization until permanent vegetation can be
established.
• The material used dictates the effectiveness period of the wattle.
Generally, Wattles are typically effective for one to two seasons.
• Prevent rilling beneath wattles by properly entrenching and abutting
wattles together to prevent water from passing between them.
Design Criteria • Install wattles perpendicular to the flow direction and parallel to the
slope contour.
• Narrow trenches should be dug across the slope on contour to a depth
of 3- to 5-inches on clay soils and soils with gradual slopes. On loose
soils, steep slopes, and areas with high rainfall, the trenches should be
dug to a depth of 5- to 7- inches, or 1/2 to 2/3 of the thickness of the
wattle.
• Start building trenches and installing wattles from the base of the slope
and work up. Spread excavated material evenly along the uphill slope
and compacted using hand tamping or other methods.
• Construct trenches at intervals of 10- to 25-feet depending on the
steepness of the slope, soil type, and rainfall. The steeper the slope the
closer together the trenches.
• Install the wattles snugly into the trenches and abut tightly end to end.
Do not overlap the ends.
• Install stakes at each end of the wattle, and at 4-foot centers along
entire length of wattle.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-97
•If required, install pilot holes for the stakes using a straight bar to drive
holes through the wattle and into the soil.
•Wooden stakes should be approximately 3/4 x 3/4 x 24 inches min.
Willow cuttings or 3/8-inch rebar can also be used for stakes.
•Stakes should be driven through the middle of the wattle, leaving 2 to
3 inches of the stake protruding above the wattle.
Maintenance
Standards
•Wattles may require maintenance to ensure they are in contact with
soil and thoroughly entrenched, especially after significant rainfall on
steep sandy soils.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

•Inspect the slope after significant storms and repair any areas where
wattles are not tightly abutted or water has scoured beneath the
wattles.

BMP C236: Vegetative Filtration
Purpose Vegetative Filtration may be used in conjunction with BMP C241
Temporary Sediment Ponds, BMP C206 Level Spreader and a pumping
system with surface intake to improve turbidity levels of stormwater
discharges by filtering through existing vegetation where undisturbed
forest floor duff layer or established lawn with thatch layer are present.
Vegetative Filtration can also be used to infiltrate dewatering waste from
foundations, vaults, and trenches as long as runoff does not occur.
Conditions of Use • For every five acre of disturbed soil use one acre of grass field, farm
pasture, or wooded area. Reduce or increase this area depending on
project size, ground water table height, and other site conditions.
•Wetlands shall not be used for filtration.
•Do not use this BMP in areas with a high ground water table, or in
areas that will have a high seasonal ground water table during the use
of this BMP.
•This BMP may be less effective on soils that prevent the infiltration of
the water, such as hard till.
•Using other effective source control measures throughout a
construction site will prevent the generation of additional highly turbid
water and may reduce the time period or area need for this BMP.
•Stop distributing water into the vegetated area if standing water or
erosion results.
Design Criteria •Find land adjacent to the project that has a vegetated field, preferably a
farm field, or wooded area.
•If the project site does not contain enough vegetated field area
consider obtaining permission from adjacent landowners (especially
for farm fields).
•Install a pump and downstream distribution manifold depending on the
project size. Generally, the main distribution line should reach 100 to
200-feet long (many large projects, or projects on tight soil, will
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-100
require systems that reach several thousand feet long with numerous
branch lines off of the main distribution line).
•The manifold should have several valves, allowing for control over the
distribution area in the field.
•Install several branches of 4” schedule 20, swaged-fit common septic
tight-lined sewer line, or 6” fire hose, which can convey the turbid
water out to various sections of the field. See Figure 4.2.15.
•Determine the branch length based on the field area geography and
number of branches. Typically, branches stretch from 200-feet to
several thousand feet. Always, lay branches on contour with the slope.
•On uneven ground, sprinklers perform well. Space sprinkler heads so
that spray patterns do not overlap.
•On relatively even surfaces, a level spreader using 4-inch perforated
pipe may be used as an alternative option to the sprinkler head setup.
Install drain pipe at the highest point on the field and at various lower
elevations to ensure full coverage of the filtration area. Pipe should be
place with the holes up to allow for a gentle weeping of stormwater
evenly out all holes. Leveling the pipe by staking and using sandbags
may be required.
•To prevent the over saturation of the field area, rotate the use of
branches or spray heads. Do this as needed based on monitoring the
spray field.
•Monitor the spray field on a daily basis to ensure that over saturation
of any portion of the field doesn’t occur at any time. The presence of
standing puddles of water or creation of concentrated flows visually
signify that over saturation of the field has occurred.
•Since the operator is handling contaminated water, physically monitor
the vegetated spray field all the way down to the nearest surface water,
or furthest spray area, to ensure that the water has not caused overland
or concentrated flows, and has not created erosion around the spray
nozzle.
•Monitoring usually needs to take place 3-5 times per day to ensure
sheet-flow into state waters. Do not exceed water quality standards for
turbidity.
•Ecology strongly recommends that a separate inspection log be
developed, maintained and kept with the existing site logbook to aid
the operator conducting inspections. This separate “Field Filtration
Logbook” can also aid the facility in demonstrating compliance with
permit conditions.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-101
Maintenance
Standards
• Inspect the spray nozzles daily, at a minimum, for leaks and plugging
from sediment particles.
• If erosion, concentrated flows, or over saturation of the field occurs,
rotate the use of branches or spray heads or move the branches to a
new field location.
• Check all branches and the manifold for unintended leaks.

BMP C240: Sediment Trap
Purpose A sediment trap is a small temporary ponding area with a gravel outlet
used to collect and store sediment from sites cleared and/or graded during
construction. Sediment traps, along with other perimeter controls, shall be
installed before any land disturbance takes place in the drainage area.
Conditions of Use Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff must pass through a
sediment pond or trap or other appropriate sediment removal best
management practice. Non-engineered sediment traps may be used on-site
prior to an engineered sediment trap or sediment pond to provide
additional sediment removal capacity.
It is intended for use on sites where the tributary drainage area is less than
3 acres, with no unusual drainage features, and a projected build-out time
of six months or less. The sediment trap is a temporary measure (with a
design life of approximately 6 months) and shall be maintained until the
site area is permanently protected against erosion by vegetation and/or
structures.
Sediment traps and ponds are only effective in removing sediment down
to about the medium silt size fraction. Runoff with sediment of finer
grades (fine silt and clay) will pass through untreated, emphasizing the
need to control erosion to the maximum extent first.
Whenever possible, sediment-laden water shall be discharged into on-site,
relatively level, vegetated areas (see BMP C234 – Vegetated Strip). This
is the only way to effectively remove fine particles from runoff unless
chemical treatment or filtration is used. This can be particularly useful
after initial treatment in a sediment trap or pond. The areas of release must
be evaluated on a site-by-site basis in order to determine appropriate
locations for and methods of releasing runoff. Vegetated wetlands shall
not be used for this purpose. Frequently, it may be possible to pump water
from the collection point at the downhill end of the site to an upslope
vegetated area. Pumping shall only augment the treatment system, not
replace it, because of the possibility of pump failure or runoff volume in
excess of pump capacity.
All projects that are constructing permanent facilities for runoff quantity
control should use the rough-graded or final-graded permanent facilities
for traps and ponds. This includes combined facilities and infiltration
facilities. When permanent facilities are used as temporary sedimentation
facilities, the surface area requirement of a sediment trap or pond must be
met. If the surface area requirements are larger than the surface area of the
permanent facility, then the trap or pond shall be enlarged to comply with
the surface area requirement. The permanent pond shall also be divided
into two cells as required for sediment ponds.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-103
Either a permanent control structure or the temporary control structure
(described in BMP C241, Temporary Sediment Pond) can be used. If a
permanent control structure is used, it may be advisable to partially restrict
the lower orifice with gravel to increase residence time while still allowing
dewatering of the pond. A shut-off valve may be added to the control
structure to allow complete retention of stormwater in emergency
situations. In this case, an emergency overflow weir must be added.
A skimmer may be used for the sediment trap outlet if approved by the
Local Permitting Authority.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
• See Figures 4.2.16 and 4.2.17 for details.
• If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they
should be used for sediment retention.
• To determine the sediment trap geometry, first calculate the design
surface area (SA) of the trap, measured at the invert of the weir. Use
the following equation:
SA = FS(Q2/Vs)
where
Q2 = Design inflow based on the peak discharge from the
developed 2-year runoff event from the contributing
drainage area as computed in the hydrologic analysis. The
10-year peak flow shall be used if the project size, expected
timing and duration of construction, or downstream
conditions warrant a higher level of protection. If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may
be used.
Vs = The settling velocity of the soil particle of interest. The
0.02 mm (medium silt) particle with an assumed density of
2.65 g/cm3 has been selected as the particle of interest and
has a settling velocity (Vs) of 0.00096 ft/sec.
FS = A safety factor of 2 to account for non-ideal settling.
Therefore, the equation for computing surface area becomes:
SA = 2 x Q2/0.00096 or
2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Note: Even if permanent facilities are used, they must still have a
surface area that is at least as large as that derived from the above
formula. If they do not, the pond must be enlarged.
• To aid in determining sediment depth, all sediment traps shall have a
staff gauge with a prominent mark 1-foot above the bottom of the trap.

BMP C241: Temporary Sediment Pond
Purpose Sediment ponds remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed
areas of the site. Sediment ponds are typically designed to remove
sediment no smaller than medium silt (0.02 mm). Consequently, they
usually reduce turbidity only slightly.
Conditions of Use Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff must pass through a
sediment pond or other appropriate sediment removal best management
practice.
A sediment pond shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3
acres or more. Ponds must be used in conjunction with erosion control
practices to reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the basin.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
• Sediment basins must be installed only on sites where failure of the
structure would not result in loss of life, damage to homes or
buildings, or interruption of use or service of public roads or utilities.
Also, sediment traps and ponds are attractive to children and can be
very dangerous. Compliance with local ordinances regarding health
and safety must be addressed. If fencing of the pond is required, the
type of fence and its location shall be shown on the ESC plan.
• Structures having a maximum storage capacity at the top of the dam of
10 acre-ft (435,600 ft3) or more are subject to the Washington Dam
Safety Regulations (Chapter 173-175 WAC).
• See Figures 4.2.18, 4.2.19, and 4.2.20 for details.
• If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they
should be used for sediment retention. The surface area requirements
of the sediment basin must be met. This may require temporarily
enlarging the permanent basin to comply with the surface area
requirements. The permanent control structure must be temporarily
replaced with a control structure that only allows water to leave the
pond from the surface or by pumping. The permanent control structure
must be installed after the site is fully stabilized. .
• Use of infiltration facilities for sedimentation basins during
construction tends to clog the soils and reduce their capacity to
infiltrate. If infiltration facilities are to be used, the sides and bottom of
the facility must only be rough excavated to a minimum of 2 feet
above final grade. Final grading of the infiltration facility shall occur
only when all contributing drainage areas are fully stabilized. The
infiltration pretreatment facility should be fully constructed and used
with the sedimentation basin to help prevent clogging.
• Determining Pond Geometry
Obtain the discharge from the hydrologic calculations of the peak flow
for the 2-year runoff event (Q2). The 10-year peak flow shall be used if
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

the project size, expected timing and duration of construction, or
downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection. If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used.
Determine the required surface area at the top of the riser pipe with the
equation:
SA = 2 x Q2/0.00096 or
2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
See BMP C240 for more information on the derivation of the surface
area calculation.
The basic geometry of the pond can now be determined using the
following design criteria:
• Required surface area SA (from Step 2 above) at top of riser.
• Minimum 3.5-foot depth from top of riser to bottom of pond.
• Maximum 3H:1V interior side slopes and maximum 2H:1V exterior
slopes. The interior slopes can be increased to a maximum of 2H:1V if
fencing is provided at or above the maximum water surface.
• One foot of freeboard between the top of the riser and the crest of the
emergency spillway.
• Flat bottom.
• Minimum 1-foot deep spillway.
• Length-to-width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1.
• Sizing of Discharge Mechanisms.
The outlet for the basin consists of a combination of principal and
emergency spillways. These outlets must pass the peak runoff
expected from the contributing drainage area for a 100-year storm. If,
due to site conditions and basin geometry, a separate emergency spill-
way is not feasible, the principal spillway must pass the entire peak
runoff expected from the 100-year storm. However, an attempt to
provide a separate emergency spillway should always be made. The
runoff calculations should be based on the site conditions during
construction. The flow through the dewatering orifice cannot be
utilized when calculating the 100-year storm elevation because of its
potential to become clogged; therefore, available spillway storage
must begin at the principal spillway riser crest.
The principal spillway designed by the procedures contained in this
standard will result in some reduction in the peak rate of runoff.
However, the riser outlet design will not adequately control the basin
discharge to the predevelopment discharge limitations as stated in
Minimum Requirement #7: Flow Control. However, if the basin for a
permanent stormwater detention pond is used for a temporary
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-107
sedimentation basin, the control structure for the permanent pond can
be used to maintain predevelopment discharge limitations. The size of
the basin, the expected life of the construction project, the anticipated
downstream effects and the anticipated weather conditions during
construction, should be considered to determine the need of additional
discharge control. See Figure 4.2.21 for riser inflow curves.

Principal Spillway: Determine the required diameter for the principal
spillway (riser pipe). The diameter shall be the minimum necessary to pass
the site’s 15-minute, 10-year flowrate. If using the Western Washington
Hydrology Model (WWHM), Version 2 or 3, design flow is the 10-year (1
hour) flow for the developed (unmitigated) site, multiplied by a factor of
1.6. Use Figure 4.2.21 to determine this diameter (h = 1-foot). Note: A
permanent control structure may be used instead of a temporary riser.
Emergency Overflow Spillway: Determine the required size and design
of the emergency overflow spillway for the developed 100-year peak flow
using the method contained in Volume III.
Dewatering Orifice: Determine the size of the dewatering orifice(s)
(minimum 1-inch diameter) using a modified version of the discharge
equation for a vertical orifice and a basic equation for the area of a circular
orifice. Determine the required area of the orifice with the following
equation:

g = acceleration of gravity (32.2 feet/second2)
Convert the required surface area to the required diameter D of the orifice:
o
o AADx54.13x24==π
The vertical, perforated tubing connected to the dewatering orifice must be
at least 2 inches larger in diameter than the orifice to improve flow
characteristics. The size and number of perforations in the tubing should
be large enough so that the tubing does not restrict flow. The orifice
should control the flow rate.
• Additional Design Specifications
The pond shall be divided into two roughly equal volume cells by a
permeable divider that will reduce turbulence while allowing
movement of water between cells. The divider shall be at least one-
half the height of the riser and a minimum of one foot below the top of
the riser. Wire-backed, 2- to 3-foot high, extra strength filter fabric
supported by treated 4"x4"s can be used as a divider. Alternatively,
staked straw bales wrapped with filter fabric (geotextile) may be used.
If the pond is more than 6 feet deep, a different mechanism must be
proposed. A riprap embankment is one acceptable method of
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-111
separation for deeper ponds. Other designs that satisfy the intent of this
provision are allowed as long as the divider is permeable, structurally
sound, and designed to prevent erosion under or around the barrier.
To aid in determining sediment depth, one-foot intervals shall be
prominently marked on the riser.
If an embankment of more than 6 feet is proposed, the pond must
comply with the criteria contained in Volume III regarding dam safety
for detention BMPs.
• The most common structural failure of sedimentation basins is caused
by piping. Piping refers to two phenomena: (1) water seeping through
fine-grained soil, eroding the soil grain by grain and forming pipes or
tunnels; and, (2) water under pressure flowing upward through a
granular soil with a head of sufficient magnitude to cause soil grains to
lose contact and capability for support.
The most critical construction sequences to prevent piping will be:
1. Tight connections between riser and barrel and other pipe
connections.
2. Adequate anchoring of riser.
3. Proper soil compaction of the embankment and riser footing.
4. Proper construction of anti-seep devices.
Maintenance
Standards
• Sediment shall be removed from the pond when it reaches 1–foot in
depth.
• Any damage to the pond embankments or slopes shall be repaired.
BMP C250: Construction Stormwater Chemical Treatment
Purpose This BMP applies when using stormwater chemicals in batch treatment or
flow-through treatment.
Turbidity is difficult to control once fine particles are suspended in
stormwater runoff from a construction site. Sedimentation ponds are
effective at removing larger particulate matter by gravity settling, but are
ineffective at removing smaller particulates such as clay and fine silt.
Traditional erosion and sediment control BMPs may not be adequate to
ensure compliance with the water quality standards for turbidity in
receiving water.
Chemical treatment can reliably provide exceptional reductions of
turbidity and associated pollutants. Chemical treatment may be required to
meet turbidity stormwater discharge requirements, especially when
construction is to proceed through the wet season.
Conditions of Use Formal written approval from Ecology is required for the use of chemical
treatment regardless of site size. The Local Permitting Authority may also
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-112
require review and approval. When approved, the chemical treatment
systems must be included in the Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Design and
Installation
Specifications
See Appendix II-B for background information on chemical treatment.
Criteria for Chemical Treatment Product Use: Chemically treated
stormwater discharged from construction sites must be nontoxic to aquatic
organisms. The Chemical Technology Assessment Protocol (CTAPE)
must be used to evaluate chemicals proposed for stormwater treatment.
Only chemicals approved by Ecology under the CTAPE may be used for
stormwater treatment. The approved chemicals, their allowable
application techniques (batch treatment or flow-through treatment),
allowable application rates, and conditions of use can be found at the
Department of Ecology Emerging Technologies website:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/newtech/technologies.ht
ml.
Treatment System Design Considerations: The design and operation of
a chemical treatment system should take into consideration the factors that
determine optimum, cost-effective performance. It is important to
recognize the following:
• Only Ecology approved chemicals may be used and must follow
approved dose rate.
• The pH of the stormwater must be in the proper range for the polymers
to be effective, which is typically 6.5 to 8.5
• The coagulant must be mixed rapidly into the water to ensure proper
dispersion.
• A flocculation step is important to increase the rate of settling, to
produce the lowest turbidity, and to keep the dosage rate as low as
possible.
• Too little energy input into the water during the flocculation phase
results in flocs that are too small and/or insufficiently dense. Too much
energy can rapidly destroy floc as it is formed.
• Care must be taken in the design of the withdrawal system to minimize
outflow velocities and to prevent floc discharge. Discharge from a
batch treatment system should be directed through a physical filter
such as a vegetated swale that would catch any unintended floc
discharge. Currently, flow-through systems always discharge through
the chemically enhanced sand filtration system.
• System discharge rates must take into account downstream
conveyance integrity.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Polymer Batch Treatment Process Description:
A batch chemical treatment system consists of the stormwater collection
system (either temporary diversion or the permanent site drainage system),
a storage pond, pumps, a chemical feed system, treatment cells, and
interconnecting piping.
The batch treatment system shall use a minimum of two lined treatment
cells in addition to an untreated stormwater storage pond. Multiple
treatment cells allow for clarification of treated water while other cells are
being filled or emptied. Treatment cells may be ponds or tanks. Ponds
with constructed earthen embankments greater than six feet high or which
impound more than 10 acre-feet require special engineering analyses. The
Ecology Dam Safety Section has specific design criteria for dams in
Washington State (see
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wr/dams/GuidanceDocs.html ).
Stormwater is collected at interception point(s) on the site and is diverted
by gravity or by pumping to an untreated stormwater storage pond or other
untreated stormwater holding area. The stormwater is stored until
treatment occurs. It is important that the holding pond be large enough to
provide adequate storage.
The first step in the treatment sequence is to check the pH of the
stormwater in the untreated stormwater storage pond. The pH is adjusted
by the application of carbon dioxide or a base until the stormwater in the
storage pond is within the desired pH range, 6.5 to 8.5. When used, carbon
dioxide is added immediately downstream of the transfer pump. Typically
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is used as a base, although other bases
may be used. When needed, base is added directly to the untreated
stormwater storage pond. The stormwater is recirculated with the
treatment pump to provide mixing in the storage pond. Initial pH
adjustments should be based on daily bench tests. Further pH adjustments
can be made at any point in the process.
Once the stormwater is within the desired pH range (dependant on
polymer being used), the stormwater is pumped from the untreated
stormwater storage pond to a treatment cell as polymer is added. The
polymer is added upstream of the pump to facilitate rapid mixing.
After polymer addition, the water is kept in a lined treatment cell for
clarification of the sediment-floc. In a batch mode process, clarification
typically takes from 30 minutes to several hours. Prior to discharge
samples are withdrawn for analysis of pH, flocculent chemical
concentration, and turbidity. If both are acceptable, the treated water is
discharged.
Several configurations have been developed to withdraw treated water
from the treatment cell. The original configuration is a device that
withdraws the treated water from just beneath the water surface using a
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-114
float with adjustable struts that prevent the float from settling on the cell
bottom. This reduces the possibility of picking up sediment-floc from the
bottom of the pond. The struts are usually set at a minimum clearance of
about 12 inches; that is, the float will come within 12 inches of the bottom
of the cell. Other systems have used vertical guides or cables which
constrain the float, allowing it to drift up and down with the water level.
More recent designs have an H-shaped array of pipes, set on the
horizontal.
This scheme provides for withdrawal from four points rather than one.
This configuration reduces the likelihood of sucking settled solids from
the bottom. It also reduces the tendency for a vortex to form. Inlet
diffusers, a long floating or fixed pipe with many small holes in it, are also
an option.
Safety is a primary concern. Design should consider the hazards
associated with operations, such as sampling. Facilities should be designed
to reduce slip hazards and drowning. Tanks and ponds should have life
rings, ladders, or steps extending from the bottom to the top.
Polymer Batch Treatment Process Description:
At a minimum, a flow-through chemical treatment system consists of the
stormwater collection system (either temporary diversion or the permanent
site drainage system), an untreated stormwater storage pond, and the
chemically enhanced sand filtration system.
Stormwater is collected at interception point(s) on the site and is diverted
by gravity or by pumping to an untreated stormwater storage pond or other
untreated stormwater holding area. The stormwater is stored until
treatment occurs. It is important that the holding pond be large enough to
provide adequate storage.
Stormwater is then pumped from the untreated stormwater storage pond to
the chemically enhanced sand filtration system where polymer is added.
Adjustments to pH may be necessary before chemical addition. The sand
filtration system continually monitors the stormwater for turbidity and pH.
If the discharge water is ever out of an acceptable range for turbidity or
pH, the water is recycled to the untreated stormwater pond where it can be
retreated.
For batch treatment and flow-through treatment, the following equipment
should be located in a lockable shed:
• The chemical injector.
• Secondary containment for acid, caustic, buffering compound, and
treatment chemical.
• Emergency shower and eyewash.
• Monitoring equipment which consists of a pH meter and a
turbidimeter.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-115
System Sizing:
Certain sites are required to implement flow control for the developed
sites. These sites must also control stormwater release rates during
construction. Generally, these are sites that discharge stormwater directly,
or indirectly, through a conveyance system, into a fresh water. System
sizing is dependent on flow control requirements.
Sizing Criteria for Batch Treatment Systems for Flow Control
Exempt Water Bodies:
The total volume of the untreated stormwater storage pond and treatment
ponds or tanks must be large enough to treat stormwater that is produced
during multiple day storm events. It is recommended that at a minimum
the untreated stormwater storage pond be sized to hold 1.5 times the
runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Bypass should be
provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate extreme
storm events. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Volume 3, Chapter 2. Worst-case land cover conditions (i.e.,
producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses (in most cases, this
would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping).
Primary settling should be encouraged in the untreated stormwater storage
pond. A forebay with access for maintenance may be beneficial.
There are two opposing considerations in sizing the treatment cells. A
larger cell is able to treat a larger volume of water each time a batch is
processed. However, the larger the cell the longer the time required to
empty the cell. A larger cell may also be less effective at flocculation and
therefore require a longer settling time. The simplest approach to sizing
the treatment cell is to multiply the allowable discharge flow rate times the
desired drawdown time. A 4-hour drawdown time allows one batch per
cell per 8-hour work period, given 1 hour of flocculation followed by two
hours of settling.
If the discharge is directly to a flow control exempt receiving water listed
in Appendix I-E of Volume I or to an infiltration system, there is no
discharge flow limit.
Ponds sized for flow control water bodies must at a minimum meet the
sizing criteria for flow control exempt waters.
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow
Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow
control exempt water bodies, the treatment system capacity should be a
factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be sized to
hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event
minus the treatment system flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-
enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system flowrate should be
sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6-8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-116
loading rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should
be provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate
extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Volume 3, Chapter 2. Worst-case land cover conditions (i.e.,
producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses (in most cases, this
would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition
must also control stormwater release rates during construction.
Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed
discharge rates from ½ of the 2-year flow through the 10-year flow as
predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre-developed
condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately
prior to the development project. This restriction on release rates can
affect the size of the storage pond and treatment cells.
The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates
from the chemical treatment systems:
1.Determine the pre-developed flow durations to be matched by entering
the existing land use area under the “Pre-developed” scenario in
WWHM. The default flow range is from ½ of the 2-year flow through
the 10-year flow.
2. Enter the post developed land use area in the “Developed
Unmitigated” scenario in WWHM.
3. Copy the land use information from the “Developed Unmitigated” to
“Developed Mitigated” scenario.
4. While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a pond element
under the basin element containing the post-developed land use areas.
This pond element represents information on the available untreated
stormwater storage and discharge from the chemical treatment system.
In cases where the discharge from the chemical treatment system is
controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge (SSD) table
representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and
imported into WWHM. WWHM can route the runoff from the post-
developed condition through this SSD table (the pond) and determine
compliance with the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative
design procedure where if the initial SSD table proved to be
inadequate, the designer would have to modify the SSD table outside
WWHM and re-import in WWHM and route the runoff through it
again. The iteration will continue until a pond that complies with the
flow duration standard is correctly sized.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-117
Notes on SSD table characteristics:
• The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just below
½ of the 2-year flow from the pre-developed condition. As runoff
coming into the untreated stormwater storage pond increases and
the available untreated stormwater storage volume gets used up, it
would be necessary to increase the pump discharge rate above ½ of
the 2-year. The increase(s) above ½ of the 2-year must be such that
they provide some relief to the untreated stormwater storage needs
but at the same time will not cause violations of the flow duration
standard at the higher flows. The final design SSD table will
identify the appropriate pumping rates and the corresponding stage
and storages.
• When building such a flow control system, the design must ensure
that any automatic adjustments to the pumping rates will be as a
result of changes to the available storage in accordance with the
final design SSD table.
5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet the
flow control requirements. The chemical treatment system must be
able to meet the runoff treatment requirements. It is likely that the
discharge flow rate of ½ of the 2-year or more may exceed the
treatment capacity of the system. If that is the case, the untreated
stormwater discharge rate(s) (i.e., influent to the treatment system)
must be reduced to allow proper treatment. Any reduction in the flows
would likely result in the need for a larger untreated stormwater
storage volume.
If the discharge is to a municipal storm drainage system, the allowable
discharge rate may be limited by the capacity of the public system. It may
be necessary to clean the municipal storm drainage system prior to the
start of the discharge to prevent scouring solids from the drainage system.
If the municipal storm drainage system discharges to a water body not on
the flow control exempt list, the project site is subject to flow control
requirements. Obtain permission from the owner of the collection system
before discharging to it.
If system design does not allow you to discharge at the slower rates as
described above and if the site has a retention or detention pond that will
serve the planned development, the discharge from the treatment system may
be directed to the permanent retention/detention pond to comply with the flow
control requirement. In this case, the untreated stormwater storage pond and
treatment system will be sized according to the sizing criteria for flow-
through treatment systems for flow control exempt water bodies described
earlier except all discharge (water passing through the treatment system and
stormwater bypassing the treatment system) will be directed into the
permanent retention/detention pond. If site constraints make locating the
untreated stormwater storage pond difficult, the permanent
retention/detention pond may be divided to serve as the untreated stormwater
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-118
storage pond and the post-treatment flow control pond. A berm or barrier
must be used in this case so the untreated water does not mix with the treated
water. Both untreated stormwater storage requirements, and adequate post-
treatment flow control must be achieved. The post-treatment flow control
pond’s revised dimensions must be entered into the WWHM and the WWHM
must be run to confirm compliance with the flow control requirement.

Monitoring: At a minimum, the following monitoring shall be conducted.
Test results shall be recorded on a daily log kept on site. Additional
testing may be required by the NPDES permit based on site conditions.
Operational Monitoring:
• Total volume treated and discharged.
• Flow must be continuously monitored and recorded at not greater than
15-minute intervals.
• Type and amount of chemical used for pH adjustment.
• Amount of polymer used for treatment.
• Settling time.
Compliance Monitoring:
• Influent and effluent pH, flocculent chemical concentration, and
turbidity must be continuously monitored and recorded at not greater
than 15-minute intervals. pH and turbidity of the receiving water.
Biomonitoring:
Treated stormwater must be non-toxic to aquatic organisms. Treated
stormwater must be tested for aquatic toxicity or residual chemicals.
Frequency of biomonitoring will be determined by Ecology.
Residual chemical tests must be approved by Ecology prior to their use.
If testing treated stormwater for aquatic toxicity, you must test for acute
(lethal) toxicity. Bioassays shall be conducted by a laboratory accredited
by Ecology, unless otherwise approved by Ecology. Acute toxicity tests
shall be conducted per the CTAPE protocol.
Discharge Compliance: Prior to discharge, treated stormwater must
be sampled and tested for compliance with pH, flocculent chemical
concentration, and turbidity limits. These limits may be established by
the Construction Stormwater General Permit or a site-specific discharge
permit. Sampling and testing for other pollutants may also be necessary at
some sites. pH must be within the range of 6.5 to 8.5 standard units and
not cause a change in the pH of the receiving water of more than 0.2
standard units. Treated stormwater samples and measurements shall be
taken from the discharge pipe or another location representative of the
nature of the treated stormwater discharge. Samples used for determining
compliance with the water quality standards in the receiving water shall
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

not be taken from the treatment pond prior to decanting. Compliance with
the water quality standards is determined in the receiving water.
Operator Training: Each contractor who intends to use chemical
treatment shall be trained by an experienced contractor. Each site using
chemical treatment must have an operator trained and certified by an
organization approved by Ecology.
Standard BMPs: Surface stabilization BMPs should be implemented on
site to prevent significant erosion. All sites shall use a truck wheel wash to
prevent tracking of sediment off site.
Sediment Removal and Disposal:
•Sediment shall be removed from the storage or treatment cells as
necessary. Typically, sediment removal is required at least once during
a wet season and at the decommissioning of the cells. Sediment
remaining in the cells between batches may enhance the settling
process and reduce the required chemical dosage.
•Sediment that is known to be non-toxic may be incorporated into the
site away from drainages.
BMP C251: Construction Stormwater Filtration
Purpose Filtration removes sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas
of the site.
Background Information:
Filtration with sand media has been used for over a century to treat water
and wastewater. The use of sand filtration for treatment of stormwater has
developed recently, generally to treat runoff from streets, parking lots, and
residential areas. The application of filtration to construction stormwater
treatment is currently under development.
Conditions of Use Traditional BMPs used to control soil erosion and sediment loss from sites
under development may not be adequate to ensure compliance with the
water quality standard for turbidity in the receiving water. Filtration may
be used in conjunction with gravity settling to remove sediment as small
as fine silt (0.5 µm). The reduction in turbidity will be dependent on the
particle size distribution of the sediment in the stormwater. In some
circumstances, sedimentation and filtration may achieve compliance with
the water quality standard for turbidity.
The use of construction stormwater filtration does not require approval
from Ecology as long as treatment chemicals are not used. Filtration in
conjunction with polymer treatment requires testing under the Chemical
Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology (CTAPE) before it can be
initiated. Approval from the appropriate regional Ecology office must be
obtained at each site where polymers use is proposed prior to use. For
more guidance on stormwater chemical treatment see BMP C250.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

Design and
Installation
Specifications
Two types of filtration systems may be applied to construction stormwater
treatment: rapid and slow. Rapid sand filters are the typical system used
for water and wastewater treatment. They can achieve relatively high
hydraulic flow rates, on the order of 2 to 20 gpm/sf, because they have
automatic backwash systems to remove accumulated solids. In contrast,
slow sand filters have very low hydraulic rates, on the order of 0.02
gpm/sf, because they do not have backwash systems. Slow sand filtration
has generally been used to treat stormwater. Slow sand filtration is
mechanically simple in comparison to rapid sand filtration but requires a
much larger filter area.
Filtration Equipment. Sand media filters are available with automatic
backwashing features that can filter to 50 µm particle size. Screen or bag
filters can filter down to 5 µm. Fiber wound filters can remove particles
down to 0.5 µm. Filters should be sequenced from the largest to the
smallest pore opening. Sediment removal efficiency will be related to
particle size distribution in the stormwater.
Treatment Process Description. Stormwater is collected at interception
point(s) on the site and is diverted to an untreated stormwater sediment
pond or tank for removal of large sediment and storage of the stormwater
before it is treated by the filtration system. The untreated stormwater is
pumped from the trap, pond, or tank through the filtration system in a
rapid sand filtration system. Slow sand filtration systems are designed as
flow through systems using gravity.
Maintenance
Standards
Rapid sand filters typically have automatic backwash systems that are
triggered by a pre-set pressure drop across the filter. If the backwash water
volume is not large or substantially more turbid than the untreated
stormwater stored in the holding pond or tank, backwash return to the
untreated stormwater pond or tank may be appropriate. However, other
means of treatment and disposal may be necessary.
•Screen, bag, and fiber filters must be cleaned and/or replaced when
they become clogged.
•Sediment shall be removed from the storage and/or treatment ponds as
necessary. Typically, sediment removal is required once or twice
during a wet season and at the decommissioning of the ponds.
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow
Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow
control exempt water bodies the treatment system capacity should be a
factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be sized to
hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event
minus the treatment system flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-
enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system flowrate should be
sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6-8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-121
loading rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should
be provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate
extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Volume 3, Chapter 2. Worst-case conditions (i.e., producing
the most runoff) should be used for analyses (most likely conditions
present prior to final landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition
must also control stormwater release rates during construction.
Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed
discharge rates from 1/2 of the 2-year flow through the 10-year flow as
predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre-developed
condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately
prior to the development project. This restriction on release rates can
affect the size of the storage pond, the filtration system, and the flow rate
through the filter system.
The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates
from the filtration systems:
1. Determine the pre-developed flow durations to be matched by entering
the land use area under the “Pre-developed” scenario in WWHM. The
default flow range is from ½ of the 2-year flow through the 10-year
flow.
2. Enter the post developed land use area in the “Developed
Unmitigated” scenario in WWHM.
3. Copy the land use information from the “Developed Unmitigated” to
“Developed Mitigated” scenario.
4. There are two possible ways to model stormwater filtration systems:
a. The stormwater filtration system uses an untreated stormwater
storage pond/tank and the discharge from this pond/tank is pumped
to one or more filters. In-line filtration chemicals would be added
to the flow right after the pond/tank and before the filter(s).
Because the discharge is pumped, WWHM can’t generate a
stage/storage /discharge (SSD) table for this system. This system is
modeled the same way as described in BMP C250 and is as
follows:
While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a pond element
under the basin element containing the post-developed land use
areas. This pond element represents information on the available
untreated stormwater storage and discharge from the filtration
system. In cases where the discharge from the filtration system is
controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge (SSD) table
representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-122
imported into WWHM. WWHM can route the runoff from the
post-developed condition through this SSD table (the pond) and
determine compliance with the flow duration standard. This would
be an iterative design procedure where if the initial SSD table
proved to be out of compliance, the designer would have to modify
the SSD table outside WWHM and re-import in WWHM and route
the runoff through it again. The iteration will continue until a pond
that enables compliance with the flow duration standard is
designed.
Notes on SSD table characteristics:
•The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just
below ½ if the 2-year flow from the pre-developed condition.
As runoff coming into the untreated stormwater storage pond
increases and the available untreated stormwater storage
volume gets used up, it would be necessary to increase the
pump discharge rate above ½ of the 2-year. The increase(s)
above ½ of the 2-year must be such that they provide some
relief to the untreated stormwater storage needs but at the same
time they will not cause violations of the flow duration
standard at the higher flows. The final design SSD table will
identify the appropriate pumping rates and the corresponding
stage and storages.
•When building such a flow control system, the design must
ensure that any automatic adjustments to the pumping rates
will be as a result of changes to the available storage in
accordance with the final design SSD table.
b. The stormwater filtration system uses a storage pond/tank and the
discharge from this pond/tank gravity flows to the filter. This is
usually a slow sand filter system and it is possible to model it in
WWHM as a Filter element or as a combination of Pond and Filter
element placed in series. The stage/storage/discharge table(s) may
then be generated within WWHM as follows:
(i)While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a Filter
element under the basin element containing the post-developed
land use areas. The length and width of this filter element
would have to be the same as the bottom length and width of
the upstream untreated stormwater storage pond/tank.
(ii)In cases where the length and width of the filter is not the same
as those for the bottom of the upstream untreated stormwater
storage tank/pond, the treatment system may be modeled as a
Pond element followed by a Filter element. By having these
two elements, WWHM would then generate a SSD table for
the storage pond which then gravity flows to the Filter element.
The Filter element downstream of the untreated stormwater
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-123
storage pond would have a storage component through the
media, and an overflow component for when the filtration
capacity is exceeded.
WWHM can route the runoff from the post-developed condition
through the treatment systems in 4b and determine compliance with
the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative design
procedure where if the initial sizing estimates for the treatment system
proved to be inadequate, the designer would have to modify the
system and route the runoff through it again. The iteration would
continue until compliance with the flow duration standard is achieved.
5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet the
flow control requirements. The filtration system must be able to meet the
runoff treatment requirements. It is likely that the discharge flow rate of
½ of the 2-year or more may exceed the treatment capacity of the system.
If that is the case, the untreated stormwater discharge rate(s) (i.e., influent
to the treatment system) must be reduced to allow proper treatment. Any
reduction in the flows would likely result in the need for a larger
untreated stormwater storage volume.
If system design does not allow you to discharge at the slower rates as
described above and if the site has a retention or detention pond that will
serve the planned development, the discharge from the treatment system may
be directed to the permanent retention/detention pond to comply with the flow
control requirements. In this case, the untreated stormwater storage pond and
treatment system will be sized according to the sizing criteria for flow-
through treatment systems for flow control exempt waterbodies described
earlier except all discharges (water passing through the treatment system and
stormwater bypassing the treatment system) will be directed into the
permanent retention/detention pond. If site constraints make locating the
untreated stormwater storage pond difficult, the permanent
retention/detention pond may be divided to serve as the untreated stormwater
discharge pond and the post-treatment flow control pond. A berm or barrier
must be used in this case so the untreated water does not mix with the treated
water. Both untreated stormwater storage requirements, and adequate post-
treatment flow control must be achieved. The post-treatment flow control
pond’s revised dimensions must be entered into the WWHM and the WWHM
must be run to confirm compliance with the flow control requirement.

BMP C252: High pH Neutralization Using CO2
Purpose When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to lower the
pH levels to the acceptable range of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH
neutralization. pH neutralization involves the use of solid or compressed
carbon dioxide gas in water requiring neutralization. Neutralized
stormwater may be discharged to surface waters under the General
Construction NPDES permit.
Neutralized process water such as concrete truck wash-out, hydro-
demolition, or saw-cutting slurry must be managed to prevent discharge to
surface waters. Any stormwater contaminated during concrete work is
considered process wastewater and must not be discharged to surface
waters.
Reason for pH Neutralization:
A pH level range of 6.5 to 8.5 is typical for most natural watercourses, and
this neutral pH is required for the survival of aquatic organisms. Should
the pH rise or drop out of this range, fish and other aquatic organisms may
become stressed and may die.
Calcium hardness can contribute to high pH values and cause toxicity that
is associated with high pH conditions. A high level of calcium hardness in
waters of the state is not allowed.
The water quality standard for pH in Washington State is in the range of
6.5 to 8.5. Ground water standard for calcium and other dissolved solids in
Washington State is less than 500 mg/l.
Conditions of Use Causes of High pH:
High pH at construction sites is most commonly caused by the contact of
stormwater with poured or recycled concrete, cement, mortars, and other
Portland cement or lime containing construction materials. (See BMP
C151: Concrete Handling for more information on concrete handling
procedures). The principal caustic agent in cement is calcium hydroxide
(free lime).
Advantages of CO2 Sparging:
• Rapidly neutralizes high pH water.
• Cost effective and safer to handle than acid compounds.
• CO2 is self-buffering. It is difficult to overdose and create harmfully
low pH levels.
• Material is readily available.
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-125
The Chemical Process:
When carbon dioxide (CO2) is added to water (H2O), carbonic acid
(H2CO3) is formed which can further dissociate into a proton (H+) and a
bicarbonate anion (HCO3-) as shown below:
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3-
The free proton is a weak acid that can lower the pH. Water temperature
has an effect on the reaction as well. The colder the water temperature is
the slower the reaction occurs and the warmer the water temperature is the
quicker the reaction occurs. Most construction applications in Washington
State have water temperatures in the 50°F or higher range so the reaction
is almost simultaneous.
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Treatment Process:
High pH water may be treated using continuous treatment, continuous
discharge systems. These manufactured systems continuously monitor
influent and effluent pH to ensure that pH values are within an acceptable
range before being discharged. All systems must have fail safe automatic
shut off switches in the event that pH is not within the acceptable
discharge range. Only trained operators may operate manufactured
systems. System manufacturers often provide trained operators or training
on their devices.
The following procedure may be used when not using a continuous
discharge system:
1. Prior to treatment, the appropriate jurisdiction should be notified in
accordance with the regulations set by the jurisdiction.
2. Every effort should be made to isolate the potential high pH water in
order to treat it separately from other stormwater on-site.
3. Water should be stored in an acceptable storage facility, detention
pond, or containment cell prior to treatment.
4.Transfer water to be treated to the treatment structure. Ensure that
treatment structure size is sufficient to hold the amount of water that is
to be treated. Do not fill tank completely, allow at least 2 feet of
freeboard.
5. The operator samples the water for pH and notes the clarity of the
water. As a rule of thumb, less CO2 is necessary for clearer water. This
information should be recorded.
6. In the pH adjustment structure, add CO2 until the pH falls in the range
of 6.9-7.1. Remember that pH water quality standards apply so
adjusting pH to within 0.2 pH units of receiving water (background
pH) is recommended. It is unlikely that pH can be adjusted to within
0.2 pH units using dry ice. Compressed carbon dioxide gas should be
introduced to the water using a carbon dioxide diffuser located near
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014
4-126
the bottom of the tank, this will allow carbon dioxide to bubble up
through the water and diffuse more evenly.
7. Slowly discharge the water making sure water does not get stirred up
in the process. Release about 80% of the water from the structure
leaving any sludge behind.
8. Discharge treated water through a pond or drainage system.
9. Excess sludge needs to be disposed of properly as concrete waste. If
several batches of water are undergoing pH treatment, sludge can be
left in treatment structure for the next batch treatment. Dispose of
sludge when it fills 50% of tank volume.
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site must also
control stormwater release rates during construction. All treated
stormwater must go through a flow control facility before being released
to surface waters which require flow control.
Maintenance
Standards
Safety and Materials Handling:
• All equipment should be handled in accordance with OSHA rules and
regulations.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for materials handling.
Operator Records:
Each operator should provide:
• A diagram of the monitoring and treatment equipment.
• A description of the pumping rates and capacity the treatment
equipment is capable of treating.
Each operator should keep a written record of the following:
• Client name and phone number.
• Date of treatment.
• Weather conditions.
• Project name and location.
• Volume of water treated.
• pH of untreated water.
• Amount of CO2 needed to adjust water to a pH range of 6.9-7.1.
• pH of treated water.
• Discharge point location and description.
A copy of this record should be given to the client/contractor who should
retain the record for three years.

BMP C253: pH Control for High pH Water
Purpose When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to lower the
pH levels to the acceptable range of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH
neutralization. Stormwater with pH levels exceeding water quality
standards may be treated by infiltration, dispersion in vegetation or
compost, pumping to a sanitary sewer, disposal at a permitted concrete
batch plant with pH neutralization capabilities, or carbon dioxide sparging.
BMP C252 gives guidelines for carbon dioxide sparging.
Reason for pH Neutralization:
A pH level range of 6.5 to 8.5 is typical for most natural watercourses, and
this pH range is required for the survival of aquatic organisms. Should the
pH rise or drop out of this range, fish and other aquatic organisms may
become stressed and may die.
Conditions of Use Causes of High pH:
High pH levels at construction sites are most commonly caused by the
contact of stormwater with poured or recycled concrete, cement, mortars,
and other Portland cement or lime containing construction materials. (See
BMP C151: Concrete Handling for more information on concrete handling
procedures). The principal caustic agent in cement is calcium hydroxide
(free lime).
Design and
Installation
Specifications
Disposal Methods:
Infiltration
•Infiltration is only allowed if soil type allows all water to infiltrate (no
surface runoff) without causing or contributing to a violation of
surface or ground water quality standards.
•Infiltration techniques should be consistent with Volume V, Chapter 7
Dispersion
Use BMP T5.30 Full Dispersion
Sanitary Sewer Disposal
•Local sewer authority approval is required prior to disposal via the
sanitary sewer.
Concrete Batch Plant Disposal
•Only permitted facilities may accept high pH water.
•Facility should be contacted before treatment to ensure they can accept
the high pH water.
Stormwater Discharge
Any pH treatment options that generate treated water that must be
discharged off site are subject to flow control requirements. Sites that
must implement flow control for the developed site must also control
Volume II – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - December 2014

stormwater release rates during construction. All treated stormwater must
go through a flow control facility before being released to surface waters
which require flow control.

SPCC Plan Implementation Requirements
The purpose of this SPCC Plan is to protect human health and the environment from spills and
releases of “hazardous materials,” to mean any material, including any substance, waste, or
combination thereof, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or
infectious characteristics may cause, or significantly contribute to, a substantial present or
potential hazard to human health, safety, property, or the environment when improperly treated,
stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed .
Widener and Associates shall update this SPCC Plan throughout the Project so that the written
Plan reflects actual site conditions and practices. The City of Renton shall fully implement this
SPCC Plan, as accepted and updated, at all times.
This Spill Response Plan shall address methods for the City of Renton’s immediate response to
spills or releases of regulated or Hazardous Substances as required by law as a result of the
Grantee’s use or authorized or unauthorized public use of the Easement Area and as long as
the Easement is in effect.

B. Security measures for potential spill sources:
Fuel transfer tanks located in construction work trucks will not be left onsite after hours
unattended. The diesel fuel tank located on a trailer will be secured with a lock.
Marking paint will not be left onsite or will be locked in the onsite office trailer.
All potentially hazardous materials will be enclosed in containers and will not be left out in
the open.
Equipment is equipped with lockable fuel caps.
C. Methods used to prevent stormwater from contacting fuel, petroleum products and
hazardous materials:
Equipment servicing and fueling requiring the use of petroleum products will be performed in
locations away from drainage areas.
In the event of a high water or flooding event, all equipment and materials containing
hazardous materials will be evacuated to high ground.
D. Secondary containment for each potential spill source listed in Section 4, above:
The secondary containment will be built and maintained following the guidelines from
Washington State Department of Transportation Secondary Containment manual dated
August 2011 and information from Department of Ecology.
1) Be designed and installed to completely surround the tank. Be capable of preventing a
release from the tank from migrating laterally or vertically into the surrounding soil. The
liner must be free of cracks or gaps.
2) The liner must be capable of containing a release volume equal to the capacity of the
largest dangerous waste tank enclosed by the liner.
3) WSDOT Specification 1-07.15(1) requires the capacity to equal 110% of the volume of
the largest tank (or container) within the contained structure.
4) Be designed to prevent run-on or infiltration of precipitation inside the liner or be
provided with additional volume to contain the rainfall from a 25-year, 24-hour storm.
Park Avenue North Extension Project 13
SPCC Plan
5) The containment must effectively hold a spill for at least 72 hours.
6) Type of liner must be impervious and is chemically compatible to hold a spill without
disintegrating.
Secondary containment systems will be provided/ built around equipment and materials
containing hazardous materials including generators and the fuel transfer trailer.
Containment areas will be inspected daily for any deficiencies.
E. Best Management Practices (BMP) Methods used to prevent discharges to ground or water
during mixing and transfers of hazardous materials, petroleum product and fuel:
Fueling equipment:
1) Fueling equipment will be conducted at specific, repeated location within the designated
fueling areas, outside of Boeing easement areas.
2) Nozzles used in equipment fueling shall be equipped with an automatic shut-off to
prevent overfill.
3) Equipment fueling will be monitored by onsite personnel at all times.
4) Fuel tanks shall not be “topped off” to reduce the risk of overfilling.
5) Fuel transfer tanks, hoses and nozzles shall be inspected prior to refueling equipment.
Fueling small power:
1) Fueling power equipment will be conducted at a temporary containment area, 50ft from
any body of water.
2) Fueling of power tools will be over a containment area to reduce the risk of overfilling
onto the ground.
3) Absorbent pads will be strategically placed on and around the tool to capture any
contaminants.
4) Mixing fuel will be conducted over a containment area. Absorbent pads will be placed to
capture contaminants.
F. Routine equipment, storage area, and structure inspection and maintenance practices to
prevent drips, leaks or failures of hoses, valves, fittings, containers, pumps, or other systems
that contain or transfer hazardous materials.
Equipment will be inspected daily by the operator or mechanic prior to the start of work each
day. Inspection check list includes and is not limited to following: walk around inspection of
machine for any signs of leaks (including odor), review of integrity of all machinery
components, check all fluid levels, inspection of all hoses, fittings and connections, and an
equipment operations check. Daily equipment inspections prior to the start of work each day
shall ensure all equipment is free of all external petroleum-based products and is in good
working order.
Small power tools will be inspected daily for leaks and ensure they are properly functioning
prior to use.
Hazardous material containers will be inspected daily by the On-Site Spill Responder listed
in Table 1. Tanks will be inspected for any signs of leaks. All hoses, fittings and
connections will be inspected for signs of leaks.
Park Avenue North Extension Project 14
SPCC Plan
Weather will be monitored by the On-Site Spill Responder listed in Table 1 to proactivity
mitigate events that may compromise spill containment systems. Actions may include but
are not limited to moving equipment and containment systems, shutting down construction
activities, and covering containment systems.
8. Spill Response
Tables 8A and 8B, below, outline the response procedures that the City of Renton shall follow
for the scenarios described in the tables below, indicating that if hazardous materials are
encountered or spilled to soil or water (including stormwater, as described in Section 7C) during
construction, the City of Renton shall do everything possible to control and contain the material
until appropriate measures can be taken. The City shall comply with all applicable laws and
regulations for spill response and cleanup. The response procedures include a description of
the actions the City of Renton shall take to address each task shown in the tables as well as the
specific on-site, spill response equipment that shall be used to perform each task.

SECTION 6: TRACK CLEARANCE GREEN TIME CALCULATION (IF NO GATE DOWN CIRCUIT PROVIDED)
If the required advance preemption time (line 48) is greater than the amount of advance preemption time currently provided by
the railroad (line 49), additional warning time must be requested from the railroad. Alternatively, the maximum preemption time
(line 48) may be decreased after performing an engineering study to investigate the possibility of reducing the values on lines 13,
16, 17, 21, 22 and 43.
If CSD < DVL, you must clear the design vehicle through the entire CSD during the traffic clearance phase; however, if CSD >
DVL, you should consider providing enough time to clear the design vehicle from the crossing.

4) JOINT OBLIGATIONS
IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the parties hereto mutually agree to the following:
1. All work contemplated in this Agreement must be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner and each portion must be promptly commenced by the party obligated hereunder to
perform the same and thereafter diligently prosecuted to conclusion in its logical order and
sequence. Furthermore, any changes or modifications during construction which affect BNSF will

14 of 57
2. The work hereunder must be done in accordance with the Exhibit A and the detailed plans
and specifications approved by BNSF.
3. Agency must require its contractor(s) to reasonably adhere to the Project's construction
schedule for all Project work. The parties hereto mutually agree that BNSF's failure to complete
the railroad work in accordance with the construction schedule due to inclement weather or
unforeseen railroad emergencies will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by BNSF and will
not subject BNSF to any liability. Regardless of the requirements of t he construction schedule,
BNSF reserves the right to reallocate the labor forces assigned to complete the railroad work in
the event of an emergency to provide for the immediate restoration of railroad operations of either
BNSF or its related railroads, or to protect persons or property on or near any BNSF owned
property. BNSF will not be liable for any additional costs or expenses resulting from any such
reallocation of its labor forces. The parties mutually agree that any reallocation of labor forces by
BNSF pursuant to this provision and any direct or indirect consequences or costs resulting from
any such reallocation will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by BNSF.
4. BNSF will have the right to stop construction work on the Project if any of the following
events take place: (i) Agency (or any of its contractors) performs the Project work in a manner
contrary to the plans and specifications approved by BNSF; (ii) Agency (or any of its contractors),
in BNSF’s opinion, prosecutes the Project work in a manner that is hazardous to BNSF property,
facilities or the safe and expeditious movement of railroad traffic; (iii) the insurance described in
the attached Exhibit C-1 is canceled during the course of the Project; or (iv) Agency fails to pay
BNSF for the Temporary Construction License or the Easement pursuant to Article II, Section 1
of this Agreement. The work stoppage will continue until all necessary actions are taken by
Agency or its contractor to rectify the situation to the satisfaction of BNSF’s Division Engineer or
until proof of additional insurance has been delivered to and accepted by BNSF. In the event of
a breach of (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Temporary Construction License, or (iii) the Easement,
BNSF may immediately terminate the Temporary Construction License or the Easement. Any
such work stoppage under this provision will not give rise to any liability on the part of BNSF.
BNSF’s right to stop the work is in addition to any other rights BNSF may have including, but not
limited to, actions or suits for damages or lost profits. In the event that BNSF desires to stop
construction work on the Project, BNSF agrees to immediately notify the following individual in
writing:
15 of 57

5. Agency must supervise and inspect the operations of all Agency contractors to ensure
compliance with the plans and specifications approved by BNSF, the terms of this Agreement and
all safety requirements of BNSF. If BNSF determines that proper supervision and inspection are
not being performed by Agency personnel at any time during const ruction of the Project, BNSF
has the right to stop construction (within or adjacent to its operating right -of-way). Construction
of the Project will not proceed until Agency corrects the situation to BNSF’s reasonable
satisfaction. If BNSF feels the situation is not being corrected in an expeditious manner, BNSF
will immediately notify Robert Hanson for appropriate corrective action.
6. Pursuant to this section and Article II, Section 6 herein, Agency must, reimburse BNSF in
full for the actual costs of all work performed by BNSF under this Agreement (including taxes,
such as applicable sales and use taxes, business and occupation taxes, and similar taxes).
7. All expenses detailed in statements sent to Agency pursuant to Article II, Section 6 herein
will comply with the terms and provisions of the Title 23 U.S. Code, Title 23 Code of Federal
Regulations, and the Federal-Aid Policy Guide, U.S. Department of Transportation, as amended
from time to time, which manual is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement
by reference. The parties mutually agree that BNSF's preliminary engineering, design, and
16 of 57

Project even though such work may have preceded the date of this Agreement.
8. The construction of the Project will not commence until Agency gives BNSF's Manager
Public Projects thirty (30) days prior written notice of such commencement. The commencement
notice will reference BNSF's file number BF10018353 and D.O.T. Crossing No. 979302J and must
state the time that construction activities will begin.
9. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, BNSF and
the Agency agree to the following terms upon completion of construction of the Project:
(a) Agency will own and be fully responsible for repairs, maintenance, future

three (3) inches above or six (6) inches below top -of-rail elevation at a distance
measured thirty (30) feet from the nearest rail..
(c) Agency will maintain the advanced railroad crossing warning signs and pavement
markings and agrees to hold harmless and indemnify BNSF for any claims,
damages or losses, in whole or in part, caused by or due to the Agency’s failure to

any invoice for such costs. The Crossing Signal Equipment and Crossing Signal House
contain 64 AAR units per Exhibit E. The annual maintenance cost per AAR unit is $Two
Hundred Seventy-Eight and 25/100 Dollars ($278.25) based on 2021 rates. The Agency
will reimburse BNSF for 50% of the annual maintenance costs, which, as of 2021 AAR unit
rates, is calculated to be $17,808.00. To provide for a current cost to maintain signals, the
2021 rate will be increased or decreased based on AAR Indexes of Railroad Material Prices
and Wage Rates, Railroad Class I, Material Price, Wage Rates and Supplements combined
for Western District, with rate to be revised in the future with adjustment computer based
on relationship of the previous year’s index to the index for the year 2021. In the event the

on any unpaid amounts pursuant to Article II, Section 6 above.
(a) Notwithstanding the preceding provision, if any regulations, ordinances, acts, rules
or other laws subsequently passed or amended by the Agency or any other
governmental or legislative authority increase the Agency’s portion of maintenance
cost under this Agreement, BNSF will receive the benefit of any such regulations,
ordinances, acts, rules or other laws and the Agency’s increased portion of
maintenance costs will be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
(b) If a railway or highway improvement project necessitates rearrangement, relocation,
or alteration of the Crossing Signal Equipment, Crossing Signal House, or the new
crossing surface installed hereunder, the costs for such rearrangement, relocation
or alteration will be the responsibility of the party requesting such changes.

omissions or events happening prior to the date of termi nation or expiration, or, if later, the date the Premises

termination, or, if later, the date when Grantee's Improvements are removed and the Premises are restored to

obligations. Contractor will be billed, as further provided below, for the economic losses
arising from loss of use of equipment, contractual loss of incentive pay and bonu ses and
contractual penalties resulting from train delays, whether caused by Contractor, or
subcontractors, or by the Railway performing work under this Agreement. Railway agrees
that it will not perform any act to unnecessarily cause train delay.
For loss of use of equipment, Contractor will be billed the current freight train hour rate per
train as determined from Railway's records. Any disruption to train traffic may cause delays
to multiple trains at the same time for the same period.
Additionally, the parties acknowledge that passenger, U.S. mail trains and certain other
grain, intermodal, coal and freight trains operate under incentive/penalty contracts between
Railway and its customer(s). Under these arrangements, if Railway does not meet its
contract service commitments, Railway may suffer loss of performance or incentive pay
and/or be subject to penalty payments. Contractor is responsible for any train performance
and incentive penalties or other contractual economic losses actually incurred by Railway
which are attributable to a train delay caused by Contractor or its subcontractors.
The contractual relationship between Railway and its customers is proprietary and
confidential. In the event of a train delay covered by this Agreement, Railway will share
information relevant to any train delay to the extent consistent with Railway confidentiality
54 of 57
obligations. The rate then in effect at the time of performance by the Contractor hereunder
will be used to calculate the actual costs of train delay pursuant to this agreement.
Contractor and its subcontractors must give Railway’s representative
(___________________) _____ (__) weeks advance notice of the times and dates for
proposed work windows. Railway and Contractor will establish mutually agreeable work
windows for the project. Railway has the right at any time to revise or change the work
windows due to train operations or service obligations. Railway will not be responsible for
any additional costs or expenses resulting from a change in work windows. Additional
costs or expenses resulting from a change in work windows shall be accounted for in
Contractor’s expenses for the project.
Contractor and subcontractors must plan, schedule, coordinate and conduct all
Contractor's work so as to not cause any delays to any trains.

employees or invitees of Grantee or employees or invitees of any contractor of Grantee
hereinafter"Contractor")) or damage to or loss of any property, and expenses, costs of
litigation, and reasonable attorneys' fees related thereto, or incident to establishing the
right to indemnification, to the extent such Claims arise out of or are in any way related
to this Easement or the presence on the Easement Property of Grantee, any Contractor
or their respective employees or invitees, PROVIDED that nothing in this Section 8.1 is
intended to require the Grantee to indemnify Grantor or any of the Indemnitees for any
Claim to the extent it is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Grantor or an
Indemnitee and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Section
8.1 is intended to require the Grantee to indemnify Grantor or any Indemnitee for
injuries arising out of the unauthorized entry of an employee or contractor of Grantor
onto the area of the Easement Area being used by Grantee as a work area. Grantee
expressly waives any immunity under industrial insurance whether arising from Title 51
Park Ave Permanent Easement
Page 9 of 16

indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees to the full extent allowed by RCW
4.24.115. In no event shall Grantee's obligations hereunder be limited to the extent of
any insurance available to or provided by Grantee. Grantee shall require each
Contractor who desires access to the Easement Property to provide an indemnity,
enforceable by and for the benefit of the Indemnitees, to the same extent required of
the Grantee.

assigns" as additional insureds (hereinafter "Additional Insured") with respect to any
liability arising out of Grantee's presence on the Easement Area (or such contractor's
presence as the case may be), (b) be endorsed to be primary to any insurance maintained
by The Boeing Company; (c) contain a severability of interest provision in favor of the
Additional Insured and (d) contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation against the
Additional Insured.

its contractors who use licensed vehicles in connection with this Easement carry and
maintain, Automobile Liability insurance covering all vehicles, whether owned, hired,
rented, borrowed or otherwise, with limits of liability of not less than One Million Dollars
1,000,000) per occurrence combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage.
Grantee shall ensure that its contractors cover or maintain, insurance in accordance with
the applicable laws relating to workers' compensation, with respect to all of their
respective employees working on or about the Easement Area, regardless of whether
such coverage of insurance is mandatory or merely elective under the law.
No contractor shall access the Easement Area unless such Contractor shall have first
provided a certificate of insurance reflecting full compliance with the requirements set
forth herein. Such certificate shall list The Boeing Company as certificate holder and shall
be kept current and in compliance throughout the period of this permit and shall provide
for thirty (30) days advance written notice to Grantee in the event of cancellation. The

Basic Requirements for Environmental Management Plans
The Boeing Company ("Boeing") and the City of Renton (the "City") will agree on a set of
environmental plans to be referenced in the Permanent Easement and the Temporary
Construction Easement (collectively, the "Easements"). The set of environmental plans will
consist of the following four plans: (1) Soil Management Plan; (2) Construction Water
Management Plan; (3) Stormwater Management and/or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
SWPPP); and (4) Spill Response Plan. These four plans are, collectively, the "Environmental
Management Plans."
This document sets forth certain terms that will be included in the Environmental Management
Plans and the process that will apply to finalizing the Environmental Management Plans.
If, during the term of the Permanent Easement, the City proposes to conduct Onsite Work, as
defined in the Easements, it will either adhere to the Environmental Management Plans or, in
advance, it will propose a new set of Environmental Management Plans to govern such work
following the same process described in Section B below.
A. TERMS
Below are terms that the Parties agree will be included in the Environmental Management
Plans.
1. Soil Management Plan
The City's Soil Management Plan shall address methods for the following:
i. Stockpiling and segregating soils during excavation, which methods shall exclude
any comingling of Boeing-property generated soils with non-Boeing property
generated soils.
ii. Managing any containers brought on site for holding soils and wastewater during
Onsite Work (defined as: any activity involving physical alteration of the
Easement Area for the purposes of initiating or continuing construction) among
other things to ensure that containers are and remain environmentally clean.
iii. Methods to backfill excavations first with all site soils removed during
excavation, unless suspected contamination is encountered, or soils are not
suitable for City's project use.
iv. Procedures to ensure soils/rocks are appropriately covered during construction
and any off-site transportation.
v. Procedures in the event suspected contamination is encountered during
construction, including the following:
Notification of suspected contamination to Boeing's point of contact.
Determination and implementation by the City of characterization,
excavation, profiling, and disposal requirements for excavated soil and
other excavated material.
vi. With respect to soils that have been excavated, or will/may be excavated, for
project construction purposes that are not able to be replaced on-site, and the
soils were not removed because of suspected contamination:
City to ensure soils from Boeing properties are not comingled with soils
brought in from other locations for disposal purposes.
City may only sample for environmental characterization/disposal
purposes after excavation and after City determination that soils may not
be replaced on-site.
City notification of Boeing point of contact of soil analytical/waste
profiling results prior to disposal of soils off-site.
City notification of Boeing point of contact of selected disposal facility in
advance of proper soil disposal at off-site facility.
Methods to ensure disposal of property soils in the following order of
preference:
i. Landfill as alternate daily cover.
ii. Direct landfill disposal as waste.
iii. City is prohibited from disposing of Boeing property soils for any
unrestricted or sensitive re-use, or other non-landfill disposal
purposes.
ix. City management and appropriate disposal of all investigative-derived waste to
an appropriate landfill, including any soil and wastewater not already addressed
above.
x. If City plans to import soil or structural fill with soil components for placement in
the Easement Area, City to provide import fill profile data for environmental
contaminants to Boeing point of contact for prior approval at least one week in
advance. Boeing will respond within five days of receipt and will not
unreasonably withhold approval.

VOCs (EPA Method 82608)
RCRA 8 metals + copper(Cu)
Advance approval not required for crushed rock or landscaping topsoil if
these meet applicable Washington Model Toxics Control Act
requirements.
The Soil Management Plan shall state that the City is responsible for all costs associated with
complying with the plan, including any costs incurred by the City for stop-work events related to
any unplanned or contingent events.
2. Construction Water Management Plan
The City's Construction Water Management Plan shall address methods for the following:
i. Management and disposition of all water streams generated by the City's Onsite
Work at the Property, including excavation dewatering, any wastewater
discharge to sanitary or any construction dewatering water discharged to storm
sewer [including as covered by any discharge permits that City will procure], and
wastewater removed off-site for disposal.
ii. Providing for the City's prompt provision of the City's wastewater
monitoring/sampling results to the Boeing point of contact.

APPENDIX J – DEWATERING PERMIT
Industrial Waste Program
Individual Authorization Application for Construction Dewatering
Alternative Formats On Request 206-477-5300 TTY Relay: 711
Instructions
It may be possible to send water from construction sites into the sanitary sewer if approved by the King County Industrial
Waste Program (KCIW) and the local sewer agency.
Who needs approval
Most construction projects discharging to sanitary sewers in King County’s Wastewater Service area (including combined
sewers that carry stormwater and sewage in the older parts of Seattle) need approval.
• Single family residential construction projects should check with the local city or sewer agency. KCIW does not
require applications from these projects.
• Projects discharging to separated storm sewers or surface water bodies do not need approval from wastewater
utilities. Check with the appropriate entity:
• Contaminated site any size: Washington State Department of Ecology
• Clean site more than 1 acre: Washington State Department of Ecology
• Clean site less than 1 acre: Local jurisdiction’s stormwater utility
How to get approval to discharge to sanitary sewers
1. Contact the local sewer agency. Confirm they accept water from construction sites. Confirm the location and
conditions for discharging to their system. A list of local agencies is available:
http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/wtd/About/SewerAgencies.aspx
2. Select your King County construction dewatering application (individual or general).
3. Download, complete, print and sign your application. Scan your signed application and submit it to King County
via email: info.KCIW@kingcounty.gov.
4. Contact the local sewer agency for permission to connect to their system and any additional requirements.
Select your King County application
KCIW offers two types of authorizations for discharging construction water to
sanitary sewers: Individual and General. You may be able to use the simpler form,
General Authorization Application for Construction Dewatering, if your project
meets all of the following criteria:
• Site is not contaminated.
• Site is less than 1 acre.
• Project will discharge less than 25,000 gallons per day (gpd) to the sanitary sewer.
• Site has a sedimentation tank.
If your project does not meet all four criteria, you must use this form, Individual Authorization Application for
Construction Dewatering. Both forms are available at www.kingcounty.gov/industrialwaste. Applying for a General
Authorization is easier and requires less documentation (no exhibits) than an Individual Authorization. No reporting is
necessary once the General Authorization is approved.
Tips for a Successful Application
• Complete one application for each construction site.
• Answer all questions; use additional pages, if needed. (See the application checklist on page 2.)
• Make sure the authorized representative (site owner) signs this application. (See pages 3 and 4.)
• Keep the original signed application in your records until the project is complete.
• For questions, contact KCIW at info.KCIW@kingcounty.gov or 206-477-5300.

Detailed Project Information
Follow these instructions to complete the table below:
• Process or activity generating wastewater. Enter a brief process number and name for each process and activity (for
example: 1. well dewatering, 2. wheel wash, 3. equipment cleaning, 4. concrete curing, 5. jet grouting, 6. contaminated
stormwater runoff).
• Substances and/or pollutants in wastewater. List all substances in the wastewater (such as sediment/solids, caustic
and/or acidic, oil and grease, other contaminants if groundwater or soil is contaminated).
• Type of pretreatment. For each waste stream, identify the type of wastewater pretreatment you will provide (such as
filtration, chemical precipitation, settling, pH neutralization, electrocoagulation, chitosan). King County policy requires t hat at
a minimum, an appropriately sized settling tank (weir tank preferred) must be installed to provide gravity separation.
• Frequency of discharge. Indicate the frequency of discharge. Enter "continuous" if you will discharge continuously to the
sewer as the wastewater is generated or "batch" if you will store wastewater and discharge it to the sewer in batches.
• Discharge point. Enter the manhole or side sewer location approved by the local city or sewer agency for temporary
connection to the sewer.
• Daily quantity discharged. Calculate the projected daily maximum discharge volume for each process or activity and then
the total for all processes and activities.

Samples receipt information is recorded on the attached Sample Receipt Checklist.
II. GENERAL REPORTING COMMENTS:
Results are reported on a wet weight basis unless dry-weight correction is denoted in the units field on the
analytical report ("mg/kg-dry" or "ug/kg-dry").
Matrix Spike (MS) and MS Duplicate (MSD) samples are tested from an analytical batch of "like" matrix to
check for possible matrix effect. The MS and MSD will provide site specific matrix data only for those
samples which are spiked by the laboratory. The sample chosen for spike purposes may or may not have
been a sample submitted in this sample delivery group. The validity of the analytical procedures for which
data is reported in this analytical report is determined by the Laboratory Control Sample (LCS) and the
Method Blank (MB). The LCS and the MB are processed with the samples and the MS/MSD to ensure
method criteria are achieved throughout the entire analytical process.
III. ANALYSES AND EXCEPTIONS:
Exceptions associated with this report will be footnoted in the analytical results page(s) or the quality
