Public right-of-way of N 4th St, between Sunset Blvd Nat the east and Factory
Ave N at the west.
City of Renton Wastewater Division is requesting SEPA Environmental Review
and Critical Areas Exemption for sewer interceptor reline and upsize within the
right-of-way of N 4th St, between Sunset Blvd N at the east and Factory Ave N
at the west. The area is approximately 46,000 sf and is located within the
Aquifer Protection Area "2". The project would upsize and replace 122 linear
feet of existing 12-inch concrete sewer pipe with 24-inch PVC pipe and
rehabilitate 559 linear feet of 24-inch concrete pipe using cured-in-place pipe.
The work area includes BNSF railroad area and a steep slope of approximately
40 percent slope across approximately 20 horizontal feet, between the flat area
next to Sunset Blvd N and BNSF railroad tracks. Pipe upsizing would be within
the steep slope area. A manhole just west of the BNSF tracks would be
replaced. A geotechnical engineering report has been submitted. The Critical
Areas Exemption would be for the upsizing of the existing utility facility in the
steep slope area.

I PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those
project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and
environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible
Officials:
Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall comply with the conclusions and recommendations stated in the
Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by Aspect Consulting, dated May 28, 2014 (Exhibit
2).
2. The applicant shall prepare an inadvertent discovery plan as requested by State Department of
Archeology and Historic Preservation (Exhibit 8).
C. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine
whether the applicant hos odequotely identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to
occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal
is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The applicant has proposed to upsize and replace 122 linear feet of existing 12-inch
concrete sewer pipe with 24-inch PVC pipe and rehabilitate 559 linear feet of 24-inch concrete pipe
using cured-in-place pipe. Two alternative methods of pipe replacement were considered within
the geotechnical report, both conventional open trench method and pipe bursting method. The
geotechnical report provides conclusions and recommendations for conventional open trenching
and newer pipe bursting. Trenching is the report's preferred method for pipe upsizing. The report
includes trenching work recommendations for excavation, the type and use of backfill, and setting

of pipe, as well as replacement of one manhole. A small portion of the project has a slope of
approximately 40% which is located between the existing manhole in Sunset Blvd N at the west and
a manhole on the east side of the BNSF railroad tracks (Exhibit 10). The pipe would be upsized from
12-inch pipe to a 24-inch pipe. Clearing of blackberry bushes and shrubs would be conducted,
primarily where the slope is located, of approximately 400 sf in area. The manhole near BNSF
railroad tracks would be lowered outside of the slope area. Approximately 275 cubic yards of soil
will be excavated to install the new sewer line and manhole.
In the area where the 12-inch pipe would be replaced with the 24-inch pipe (Exhibit 3), there are a
number of recommendations in the geotechnical report for open cut sewer replacement, and the
upsizing of the pipe, and general earthwork recommendations. Other recommendations fall under
"Ground Water" found below.
For open-trench construction, the geotechnical report provides recommendations for temporary
excavation work, pipe bedding, trench backfill, and trench and pavement restoration. Additionally,
the report provides further recommendations for the manhole replacement near the BNSF tracks,
construction work dewatering, and for earthwork and erosion control including work during wet
weather. Based on the recommendations included in the provided Geotechnical Engineering
Report, staff recommends as a mitigation measure that the applicant comply with these
recommendations.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall comply with the conclusions and recommendations
stated in the Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by Aspect Consulting, dated May 28, 2014
(Exhibit 2).
Nexus: SEPA, RMC 4-3-050.J.2 "Special Studies required for work within sensitive and protected
slopes."
2. Water
a. Ground Water
Impacts: Groundwater may be encountered as part of pipe trenching or manhole excavation as
identified in the Geotechnical Report (Exhibit 2 page 4). Goundwater ranges from 29 to 34 feet
below grade and excavations for the project could extend as much as 5 feet below groundwater.
Dewatering is anticipated to be required as part of the project. The recommendations state that
temporary sumps and trash pumps would not sufficiently dewater the excavation although
considering deep wells and the lowering of water over a large area could likely cause ground
settlement over a large area including BNSF rail lines area. Well point dewatering methods are
recommended.
The site is located within the aquifer protection. Any fill would need to come from a clean source.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required.
Nexus: Not applicable.
b. Storm Water
Impacts: Potential liquid spills during construction and possible wet weather and rain could create
impacts during construction. The geotechnical report provides guidance and recommendations for
work in wet weather. The Environmental Checklist, pages 5 and 6, mentions the use of Best
Management Practices during construction to prevent potential liquid spills from entering either
ground water or storm water.

3. Historic and Cultural Preservation
_nvironmental Review Committee Report
LUA14-000968, ECF, CAE
Page 5 of 6
Impacts: The State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation provided background
information that there may be artifacts in or near the work area and there is an archaeological site
associated with the use of this trail approximately 2,500 feet from the project area (Exhibit 8).
According to the letter, the project area is in proximity to the Cedar River Pack Trail an
ethnographic period trail used by the Duwamish and Muckleshoot Indian Tribes as well as tribes
from eastern Washington, such as the Yakima. Archaeological sites are protected from knowing
disturbance on both public and private lands in Washington State. The state's RCWs require that a
person obtain a permit from Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation before
excavating, removing, or altering Native American human remains or archaeological resources in
Washington.
The replacement pipes are larger than existing pipe and the letter states the existing pipe system
may have been placed within or near archaeological resources which may be disturbed by the new
project. Staff recommends, as a mitigation measure, that a discovery plan be prepared.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall prepare an inadvertent discovery plan as requested by
State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (Exhibit 8) and as recommended by staff.
Nexus: SEPA, RCW 27.44 and RCW 27.53.060.

Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B · Environmental Elements -that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

Re: Archaeology -Survey Requested
Dear Sorenson:
Allyson Brooks Ph.D., Director
Sfate Historic Preservation Officer
We have reviewed the materials forwarded to our office for the proposed project referenced above. The
area has a high potential for archaeological resources. The project area is in proximity to the Cedar River
Pack Trail an ethnographic period trail used by the Duwamish and Muckleshoot Indian Tribes as well as
tribes from eastern Washington such as the Yakima. The Yakima traveled to winter villages along the
Black and Cedar Rivers to trade cured deerskins for dried clams and Black River salmon. Muck.Jeshoot
Indian also utilized the Cedar River Pack Trail to travel to salmon fisheries in Maple Valley. An
archaeological site associated with the use of this trail is located approximately 2,500 feet from the
project area.
Please be aware that archaeological sites are protected from knowing disturbance on both public and
private lands in Washington States. Both RCW 27.44 and RCW 27.53.060 require that a person obtain a
permit from our Department before excavating, removing, or altering Native American human remains or
archaeological resources in Washington. Failure to obtain a permit is punishable by civil fines and other
penalties under RCW 27 .53.095, and by criminal prosecution under RCW 27.53.090.
Chapter 27.53.095 RCW allows the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to issue civil
penalties for the violation of this statute in an amount up to five thousand dollars, in addition to site
restoration costs and investigative costs. Also, these remedies do not prevent concerned tribes from
undertaking civil action in state or federal colll1, or law enforcement agencies from undertaking criminal
investigation or prosecution. Chapter 27.44.050 RCW allows the affected Indian Tribe to undertake civil
action apart from any criminal prosecution if burials are disturbed. Historic cemeteries and graves are
also protected under RCW 68.60.
The PVC replacement pipes are larger than the existing concrete pipe and this existing pipe system may
have been placed within or near archaeological resources which may be disturbed by the new project.
Therefore, we recommend an inadvertent discovery plan be prepared for the project. An example of such
a plan is attached .. We also recommend consultation with the concerned Tribes' cultural committees and
staff regarding cultural resource issues.

If any federal funds or permits are involved Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as
amended, and its implementing regulations, 36CFR800, must be followed. This is a separate process
from SEPA and requires formal government-to-government consultation with the affected Tribes and this
agency. We would appreciate receiving any correspondence or comments from concerned tribes or other
parties concerning cultural resource issues that you receive.

Sorry, I will fix that. I just recommended an IDP. Example attached. I think with the location of the project area and
current conditions that a survey would not be useful. Did you know that when you click on your name on the City's

Hi Gretchen -I am looking for some clarity from you on Log 081114-62-Kl in of Renton. See attached comment letter
from you. The first page, bottom paragraph has a recommendation of a discovery plan for the project and then there is
the example mention and the next sentence isn't capitalized and I want to make certain the survey of the project area is
or is not required. The sentence capitalization makes me wonder if part of the sentence were deleted from a form letter.
Please confirm whether a survey is also needed along with the inadvertent discovery plan. Thank you.

Resources, Snoqualmie Tribe (360-652-7362)
2. If the discovery is human remains, the property owner or contractor will stop work in and adjacent
to the discovery, completely secure the work area by moving the land-altering equipment to a
reasonable distance, and will immediately contact:
a. The property owner;
b. The Kin County Sheriff's Department (425-556-2500) and;
c. The King County Coroner, Richard Harruff (206-731-3232) to determine if the remains are
forensic in nature;
d. If the remains are not forensic in nature the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation
(DAHP) (Gretchen Kaehler 360-586-3088 and Guy Tasa 360-586-3534); will take the lead on
determining the appropriate method of treatment for the remains and will consult with the affected
tribes;
3. Cultural material that may be protected by law could include but is not limited to:
a. Buried layers of black soil with layers of shell, charcoal, and fish and mammal bones (Figure I).
b. Non-natural sediment or stone deposits that may be related to activity areas of people;
c. Stone, bone, shell, horn, or antler tools that may include projectile points (arrowheads),scrapers,
cutting tools, wood working wedges or axes, and grinding stones (Figures 2 and 3);

Project Narrative
Central Renton Sewer Interceptor Reline & Upsize
The project proposes to replace approximately 122 linear feet of existing 12" concrete sewer with
24" PVC pipe and rehabilitate 559 linear feet of 24" concrete pipe using cured-in-place-pipe. This
construction will take place within the rights-of-way of North 4th Street from Sunset Blvd N to
Factory Pl North.
The purpose of the project is to replace an old, undersized concrete sanitary sewer as well as
rehabilitate other old concrete sewers. The project will be within existing right-of-ways
(improved and unimproved) that are adjacent to commercial areas.
There is one slope on the project site that is approximately 40%. This slope is 20 feet in length
and separates the plateaued area adjacent to Sunset Blvd N with the flat area of the BNSF railroad
adjacent to the improved portion of North 4'" St.
The surrounding properties are zoned Commercial Arterial.
The proposed project is estimated to cost $262,000.

SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
UPDATED 2014
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B -Environmental Elements -that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

1 Project Description and Scope of Work
This report presents the results of a geotechnical engineering study by Aspect Consulting
LLC (Aspect) in support of improvements to a section of the Central Renton Sewer
Interceptor Sewer in Renton, Washington. A vicinity map showing the project location
within the City of Renton is presented in Figure 1. Figure 2 is a Site and Exploration
Plan.
The project includes upsizing of approximately 125 lineal feet of existing 12-inch
vitrified clay pipe (VCP). The limits of this portion of the project start at the existing
manhole in Sunset Boulevard N, and extend west toward N. 4th Street to a manhole on the
east side of the BNSF railroad. This section of pipe was originally anticipated to be
replaced with nominally 18-inch diameter pipe for increased flow capacity, however, at
the time of finalizing this report, it was decided to upsizc to 24-inch diameter pipe to
improve flow characteristics. Conventional open-trench replacement methods are
considered in this report. Upsizing by in-situ (pipe bursting/reaming) is also discussed,
however in-situ upsizing by more than 50% of the original pipe diameter is generally not
recommended. . Jack and bore construction methods were also considered initially,
however, these construction methods were eliminated as a feasible alternative during
preliminary design and therefore arc not discussed as a potential alternative in the report.
The western (i.e., downstream) manhole will be replaced as part of this project.
The purpose of our work is to provide geotechnical recommendations in support of these
improvements. Our scope included reviewing existing subsurface information in the
project area; drilling and sampling exploratory borings; performing laboratory testing;
completing engineering analyses to develop geotcchnical conclusions and
recommendations for design and construction; and preparing this report.

2 Surface and Subsurface Conditions
2.1 Surface Conditions
The site area includes Sunset Boulevard North and City-owned undeveloped Right of
Way to the west. Adjacent property to the west is an active BNSF railroad spur.
Sunset Boulevard (State Route 900) is a heavily used 7-lane arterial. Existing pavement
surface is at approximate Elevation +55 feet at the eastern (upstream) manhole.
The existing undeveloped Right of Way to the west includes a gravel-surfaced gently
sloping (less than 10%) area immediately adjacent to Sunset Blvd.; this area appears to be
occasionally used as overflow parking. The west side of the gravel-surfaced area is
bordered by a chain link fence, west of which is a 10-foot high slope extending down
toward the railroad tracks at an average inclination of about 1. 7H: IV. Vegetation on this
slope consists of blackberry bushes and small saplings.
The toe of this slope is at approximate Elevation +43 feet. To the west of this, the ground
is relatively flat. The western (downstream) manhole is near the toe of this slope, at
approximate rim Elevation +42.5 feet. The BNSF railroad right of way is just west of the
toe of the slope.
2.2 Subsurface Conditions
2.2.1 Geologic Mapping
The project area is situated near the edge of a low-lying valley floor at the toe of an
upland slope. The geologic map for the site area (Mullineaux, 1965) indicates the site
area to be underlain by recent alluvium on the low-lying valley floor to the west and
undifferentiated glacial sediments on the upland slope.
2.2.2 Previous Explorations by Others
We were provided witl_1 a previous geotechnical engineering report by Golder Associates
Inc. (Golder, 2003). The Golder study included two borings in close proximity to the
subject project. Boring GB-15 was drilled near the intersection of Houser and 4th to the
west of the BNSF railroad tracks; and boring GB-14 was drilled near the upstream
manhole in Sunset Blvd North. Site data from these borings are provided in Appendix A
of this report. The Golder borings reported loose to medium dense granular fill and recent
alluvium.
2.2.3 Subsurface Conditions in Aspect Explorations
2
Aspect completed two exploratory soil borings at the locations shown on the Site and
Exploration Plan (Figure 2). Soil boring AB-1 was drilled above the existing sewer line
to explore and sample existing trench backfill soil. Soil boring AB-2 was drilled and
sampled about 20 feet north to explore and sample "native soil". Boring AB-2 was
completed as 2-inch-diameter piezometer to monitor ground water during the design
period. This piezometer is the property of the City of Renton and as such it available for
use prior to and during construction. Ultimately the piezometer will need to be
abandoned in accordance with Ecology requirements.
FINAL DRAFT PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28, 2014
ASPECT CONSULTING
Summary boring logs of the completed explorations, and more detailed descriptions of
the subsurface exploration methodology, are included in Appendix B. A summary of the
completed laboratory test methodology and results are included in Appendix C. In our
borings we encountered fill, alluvium, and glacial advance outwash. Each of the soil units
arc described in more detail below.
Fill: Fill was encountered in each boring. Trench backfi]I was encountered
(intentionally) in boring AB-I which was dri11cd and terminated above the crown of the
existing sewer line; this material consisted of loose to medium dense, slightly silty, sandy
GRAVEL. In boring AB-2, fill consisting of loose to medium dense silty to very silty,
gravelly SAND to sandy GRAVEL, was encountered down to about 14 feet below
existing ground surface.
Alluvium: Below the fi]I in boring AB-2 we encountered very loose to medium dense,
clean to slightly silty, moist to saturated, gravelly SAND to sandy GRAVEL. flased on
its elevation, color, density, and composition, we interpreted this soil to be alluvium
associated with the Cedar River.
Advance Outwash: At a depth of about 23 Y, feet below ground surface, we encountered
very dense, gray, gravelly SAND. Based on its color and density, we interpreted this
material to be glacially overridden advance outwash. Boring Afl-2 was terminated in
advance outwash at a depth of 3 I 'I, feet below ground surface.
2.2.4 Groundwater Conditions
At the time of dri11ing (March 20, 2014), we encountered wet soil and possible standing
groundwater in boring AB-2 at a depth of 19 feet, or Elevation + 34 feet. A subsequent
water level reading taken on April 7, 2014 encountered groundwater at a depth of 21.2
feet below top of casing, or corresponding Elevation + 32. l feet.
In the Golder (2003) report, ground water was reported and subsequently measured in
their boring/piezometer GB-15 near the intersection of Houser and 4•h, at approximate
Elevation +29 feet in May 2003.
Groundwater conditions reported are for the specific location and date indicated.
Groundwater levels will vary by location, local precipitation, local subsurface conditions,
and other factors.

ASPECT CONSUL TING
3 Conclusions and Recommendations
3.1 General
From a geotechnical engineering perspective, conventional open-trench construction is
the most suitable method of pipe replacement for this project.
We encountered ground water during drilling our boring/piezometer AB-2 at approximate
Elevation + 34 feet; we subsequently measured groundwater in this piezometer at
approximate Elevation + 32 feet. Golder (2003) reported ground water in their
piezometer GB-15 at approximate Elevation +29 feet. At the downstream manhole, the
existing sewer is at approximate invert Elevation +31 feet. Replacement of this
downstream manhole structure will likely extend about 2 feet below the invert elevation,
or approximate Elevation +29 feet. With groundwater ranging from Elevation +29 to+ 34
feet, excavations could extend as much as 5 feet below groundwater, thus construction
dcwatering is anticipated to be required.
The following sections of this report provide detailed recommendations for open cut
sewer replacement, in situ upsizing, and general site earthwork considerations.
3.2 Open Cut Sewer Replacement
3.2.1 General
In our opinion and based on our experience, conventional open trench construction will
likely be the fastest, and therefore potentially the most economical method of completing
this upsizing project. The disadvantage of this method is the necessary temporary closure
of Sunset Blvd. This section presents geotechnical design considerations and
recommendations pertaining to open cut trench construction.
3.2.2 Temporary Excavations
4
Maintenance of safe working conditions, including temporary excavation stability, is the
responsibility of the contractor, and all excavations must comply with current federal,
state and local requirements. Cuts greater than 4 feet in height should be sloped or shored
in accordance with Part N of WAC 296-155 (Washington Administrative Code) or
properly shored.
The existing fill and alluvial soils classify as Type C Soil, and temporary, unsupported,
cut slopes in these materials should be inclined no steeper than I .SH: IV (horizontal :
vertical). Where the temporary excavations extend below groundwater (i.e., along the
part of the project), flatter side slopes and/or shoring will be required.
Temporary slopes should be protected from erosion, as necessary, by covering the cut
face with well-anchored plastic sheets. Heavy construction equipment, construction
materials, excavated soil, and vehicular traffic should not be allowed any nearer to the
slope crest than half the height of slope, measured from the top edge of the excavation,
unless there is a shoring system that has been designed for support of the additional
lateral pressure.
FINAL DRAFT PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28, 2014
ASPECT CONSULTING
Exposure of personnel beneath properly prepared temporary cut slopes should be kept to
a 1111111mum.
Where trench excavations are deep and/or spatial limitations do not pennit sloping of the
excavation, temporary shoring will be required. Design and construction of such shoring
systems should be the responsibility of the contractor, who should be required to present
a submittal of the design details for review by the Engineer prior to construction.
However, general recommendations for design and implementation of trench shoring
systems arc presented below.
• Shoring should be designed and constructed to support lateral soil
loads, and any surcharge loads from construction equipment,
construction materials, excavated soi Is, and vehicular traffic.
Anticipated lateral soil loads are presented for design guidance in
Figure 3 of this report.
• Precautions should be taken during removal of the shoring or
sheeting materials to minimize disturbance of the pipe.
underlying bedding materials, adjacent structures/utilities and
surrounding soils.
• Trench boxes, if used, should be adequately reinforced to
withstand the lateral forces to which they will be subjected.
• Trench boxes should be of sufficient dimension. both vertically
and laterally, to snpport the excavation without excessive
deformation of the natural soils adjoining the open excavation.
I lowever, by their very nature, trench boxes normally arc
incapable of positive support of the trench walls and some
deformation and possible spalling of the excavated slopes should
be anticipated if trench boxes are employed. The contractor
should be held responsible for repair of any deformation or
damages occur to adjoining facilities where trench box methods
have been used.
• The open trench excavation should be backfilled immediately
after the trench box has been moved.
• Trenches must be shored when heavy construction equipment and
excavated soils are allowed within a lateral distance, measured
from the edge of the excavation. equal to half the depth of the
excavation.
3.2.3 Pipe Bedding
General recommendations relative to pipe bedding and subgrade are presented below:
• Pipe bedding material, placement compaction, and shaping
should be in accordance with the project specifications and the
pipe manufacturers recommendations. As a minimum. the pipe
bedding should meet the gradation requirements for Gravel
Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding, Section 9-03. 12(3) of the
PROJECT NO 140013 • MAY 28, 2014 FINAL DRAFT 5
ASPECT CONSUL TING
WSDOT Standard Specifications.
• Pipe bedding materials should be placed on relatively undisturbed
native soils, or compacted fill soils. If the subgrade soils are
disturbed, the disturbed material should be compacted in place or
removed and replaced with additional compacted bedding
material.
• In areas where the trench bottom encounters very soft or organic-
rich subgrade soils, it will be necessary to over-excavate the
unsuitable material and backfill with pipe bedding material.
However, the depth of over-excavation should generally be
limited to a maximum of2 feet, and should be confirmed by the
geotechnical engineer. If necessary, and as determined by the
geotechnical engineer, a soil separation-grade geotextile may be
utilized to limit trench base over-excavation requirements.
• Pipe bedding should provide a firm, uniform cradle for the pipe.
We recommend that a minimum 4-inch thickness of bedding
material beneath the pipe be provided. Larger thicknesses of
bedding may be necessary to prevent loosening and softening of
the natural soils during pipe placement. The pipe bedding should
extend to a level at least 6 inches above the pipe crown, as
indicated on Figure 4, or such greater thickness as may be
required by the pipe manufacturer and/or the City of Renton.
• Pipe bedding material and/or backfill around the pipe should be
placed in layers and tamped to obtain complete contact with the
pipe.
3.2.4 Trench Backfill
6
We recommend that trench backfill meet the specifications for structural fill, as
described in Section 3.6.1 of this report During placement of the initial lifts, the trench
backfill material should not be bulldozed into the trench or dropped directly on the pipe.
Furthermore, heavy equipment should not be permitted to operate directly over the pipe
until a minimum of2 feet of backfill has been placed in order to prevent deformation or
breakage of the new lines. Trench backfill should be placed in 8-inch (maximum) lifts
and compacted using mechanical equipment to at least 95 percent of its maximum dry
density, as determined by testing in general accordance with ASTM D 1557 (Modified
Proctor).
As an alternative to compacted granular backfill, controlled density fill (CDF) or
controlled low strength material (CLSM), per WSDOT Standard Specification
2-09.3(1 )E, may be used. The advantage of this material is that compaction is not
required, a disadvantage is that the material must be given sufficient time (several days)
to cure before it can be exposed to traffic.

ASPECT CONSUL TING
3.2.5 Trench and Pavement Restoration
In order to minimize the potential for undennining the existing pavement section, and to
reduce the potential for reflective cracking above proposed utility trenches, the
following recommendations should be implemented during construction:
• No trench excavation should be advanced greater than 4 feet
without implementing a positive shoring system. Requiring
excavation inside a temporary shoring system will reduce the
extent of soil relaxation adjacent to the excavation. As discussed
previously, normal trench box systems do not provide positive
support for the trench walls and are intended primarily to provide
for worker safety. Limiting the extent of trench wall relaxation is
key to maintaining proper support for adjacent pavements.
• All saw cuts associated with trenching excavations should be
made 1.5 to 3 feet back from the anticipated top of trench
depending on proposed trench excavation depth. The
recommended trench geometry is presented in Figure 4 of this
report.
• If during excavation of any trench, the existing pavement section
is undermined at any location, the undermined pavement should
be sawcut and removed prior to pavement reconstruction.
• A minimum 6-inch thick layer of Crushed Surfacing Base Course
(CSBC) should be placed and compacted to 95 percent of its
maximum dry density, as determined using ASTM D 1557
(Modified Proctor), below all reconstructed pavement sections.
• The reconstructed pavement section should consist of Hot Mix
Asphalt (HMA) or Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP).
The HMA or PCCP should be installed in accordance with City
of Renton Standard Plans.
3.3 Pipe Bursting Sewer Replacement
At the time of our initial studies, it was anticipated that the new pipe would be up sized
from 12 inches to 18 inches. Based on the observed trench backfill conditions over the
existing vitrified clay pipe (VCP) wc concluded that pipe bursting would be a feasible
method of pipe replacement. However, at the time of this final draft report, it has been
decided that the new pipe will be 24 inches in diameter. In-situ upsizing by more than
50% of the original pipe diameter has not been proven to be effective in the industry and
is considered ·'experimental". Therefore, we no longer advocate pipe bursting for this
project. The following discussion is for reference and information purposes.
PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28, 2014 FINAL DRAFT 7
ASPECT CONSUL TING
3.3. 1 Pipe Bursting Process
The pipe bursting process consists of in-situ fragmentation, displacement, and
replacement of the existing pipe typically with new polyethylene pipe of equal or larger
diameter. Typically, the existing pipe is split by a hydraulic, static, or pneumatic
bursting-head or nosecone to which the new polyethylene pipe is attached. As the
existing pipe is burst, the new polyethylene pipe is pulled into position along the
alignment of the old pipe. A chain or cable towline attached to a hydraulic jacking or
winch system is used to advance the bursting head. Typically, the polyethylene pipe
installed during the pipe bursting process consists of20-to 40-foot long sections that are
welded together on site. Pipe bursting is conducted between two points of access; i.e.,
station-to-station with stations consisting of existing manholes, or insertion and
extraction pits.
Information regarding the proximity of other service lines or underground structures, and
the location of any documented prior service repairs that reinforce the existing pipe
should be evaluated for their potential impact on the proposed undertaking. Such
information is utilized to select the most appropriate pipe bursting methods and tools,
and to evaluate the potential effects of vibrations and ground displacements, associated
with the bursting operations. In generaL pipe bursting should not be used when the
bursting head will pass within 2.5 feet of other buried pipes and within 8 feet of sensitive
surface structures (TTC, 200 I). Where distances are less than these, special provision
should be made to protect the existing structures, such as excavating (daylighting) at the
crossing point to relieve potential induced-stress on the existing features (TTC, 200 I).
3.3.2 Implications of Existing Trench Backfill
8
Favorable ground conditions for pipe bursting are reportedly within soils that can be
moderately compacted such that the enlarged hole behind the bursting head does not
cave in before the replacement pipe is installed. This scenario results in minimal lateral
extent of outward ground movement because the volume change is accommodated by
the local soils. In addition, the absence of caving behind the bursting head will result in
lower drag and reduced tensile stress on the pipe during installation. The magnitude of
the drag force on the pipe during installation is highly dependent on the contractor's
equipment and procedures. Less favorable ground conditions include densely
compacted soils or fills, and soils below the water table. These ground conditions tend
to increase the force required for the bursting operation.
For pipe bursting to be successful at the project site, information regarding the density
of the existing soil backfill and adjoining native materials was required. Our boring
AB-1 indicates that the trench backfill is relatively loose. Therefore, it is our opinion
that pipe upsizing by means of pipe bursting is feasible along the proposed alignment.
However, the contractor should anticipate that variation in local fill soil conditions,
and the presence or absence of ground water, will affect the amount of force required to
burst and pull replacement pipe. Much of the pipe alignment is above groundwater, but
the west end will likely dip below the groundwater table.
FINAL DRAFT PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28. 2014
ASPECT CONSULTING
3.3.3 Possible Ground Displacements
Some ground displacement should typically be expected as a result of a pipe bursting
procedures. Displacements tend to be localized and develop in the direction of least
resistance. The magnitude and orientation of the displaced soil is largely dependent
upon the degree of pipe upsizing, the type and compaction level of the soil surrounding
the pipe, and the depth of the pipe. Typically, loose soils will undergo uniform
displacement where more densely compacted soils at the same depth will most likely
exhibit vertical (heave) expansion. The localized restraining effect of strong soils along
trench sides and bottom also serves to direct ground movement upward above the pipe.
Conversely, if the existing pipes arc founded on weak soil, displacement would be
directed downward.
Generally, ground movement (heaving) that may distort the existing road surface is
observed during pipe bursting conducted on pipes shallower than about eight (8) feet,
and bursting of pipes located deeper than about ten ( 10) feet does not typically cause
surface heaving problems. Survey elevation information indicates the existing pipe
cover is greater than 10 feet at all locations along the subject project alignment.
3.3.4 Required Excavations
Invariably, some surface disturbance along the existing alignment is necessary for the
excavation of jacking/receiving pits. These excavations can require an area on the order
of24 feet by 12 feet. Given the depth of the sewer line we anticipate that temporary
shoring will be required at all jacking and receiving pits. Internally braced temporary
shoring should be utilized for this project.
Recommended design earth pressures for temporary braced shoring are presented in
Figure 3. However, the contractor should be responsible for the temporary shoring
system design, which should be performed by a licensed engineer skilled and
experienced in the design of such systems. Shoring system designs should be submitted
for review and approval of the engineer prior to construction. Notwithstanding,
successful installation and removal of the temporary shoring system is the responsibility
of the contractor.
3.3.5 Implications of Existing Sags/Deviations on Pipe Bursting
Experience has shown that localized sags larger than one half the pipe diameter can be
problematic for pipe bursting operations. If sags exist along this section. this would be
another factor to consider.
3.3.6 Maintenance of Existing Grade
As with any gravity system. maintaining the established grade is very important.
However, because the bursting head has a larger diameter than the replacement pipe, a
cavity is developed in the soil, allowing the replacement pipe to take up different
positions within the cavity. Depending upon the local soil conditions, site conditions,
and installation procedures the following outcomes are generally anticipated:
PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28. 2014 FINAL DRAFT 9
ASPECT CONSUL TING
• If soil displacements arc predominately upward, a larger new pipe
will most likely be situated with its centerline higher than the
original pipe, but with a matching invert elevation,
• lfthe soil displaces uniformly, the centerline of the larger new
pipe will match the centerline of the original pipe.
• lfthe soil displacements are predominately downward, the larger
new pipe will most likely be situated with its crown matching the
original pipe crown position, but with a lower invert elevation.
• Asymmetrical soil displacement, resulting from the restraining
effects of adjacent buried structures, can result in a lateral shift in
new pipe position relative to the original.
Case histories suggest that, with careful planning, maintenance of the existing pipe
grades is achievable when close attention and frequent surveys are conducted.
Sometimes, the presence of unforeseen large boulders, existing concrete pipe collars,
CDF backfill, adjacent utilities, etc., will prevent the advancement of the pipe bursting
head or cause it to deflect above or below the design invert level. These types of
obstructions occur quite commonly despite the amount of available subsurface data
and/or as-built and maintenance records, and it is recommended that contingencies be
provided in the contract to deal with such problems if they occur.
3.4 Replacement Manhole Structure
The replacement manhole structure will be subjected to buoyancy due to being partially
below ground water. We recommend this manhole be designed assuming that ground
water could potentially rise as high as Elevation +35 feet during an extreme high ground
water condition.
With this manhole structure in close proximity to the existing active BNSF railroad,
temporary shoring will be required to facilitate construction. In our opinion, temporary
shoring could be accomplished using internally braced interlocking steel sheet piles. An
advantage to this type of shoring is that ground water can be more easily controlled.
It would also be possible to utilize a 4-sided trench box, in combination with a
construction dewatering program.
Recommended earth pressures for design of temporary shoring are presented in Figure 3.
3.5 Construction Dewatering
10
A temporary excavation for the replacement manhole structure at the west (downstream)
end of the project could extend as much as 5 feet below ground water. Construction
dewatering will likely be necessary. It should ultimately be the contractor's responsibility
to select and implement an appropriate dewatering system. However, in our opinion,
temporary sumps and trash pumps will not sufficiently dewater the excavation.
On the other hand, use of deep wells, resulting in water lowering over a large area, is
likely to cause ground settlement over a relatively large area including the BNSF
FINAL DRAFT PROJECT NO 140013 • MAY 28, 2014
ASPECT CONSULTING
rai I road tracks. The magnitude of the settlement and its areal extent would depend on
the amount of change in the water level, the length of time the water level was
lowered, and the compressibility and thickness of the underlying soils.
To limit potential dewatcring-induccd settlement to the area immediately adjacent to
the trench and downstream manhole area, we recommend a well point dewatering
system be utilized. Well points, or eductor wells, consist of a series of closely spaced,
small diameter, screened pipes that are driven or drilled in place, and connected to a
manifold which in turn is connected to large vacuum pump operating on the ground
surface. A properly designed, installed, and operated wellpoint system can draw down
the ground water level within the work area. without causing a large drawdown cone,
such as occurs with deep dewatering wells. We recommend the contractor retain an
experienced wellpoint specialist to install and operate the dewatering system.
We recommend the contractor be required to submit a dcwatering plan for review by
Aspect to evaluate other potential impacts. W c recommend the plans and
specifications include provisions requiring contractors to maintain a minimum and
maximum draw-down from dewatering. The contractor could utilize existing
monitoring wells to aid in the detennination of the effectiveness of the dewatering
system. However, design and implementation of any dewatering system should
remain the responsibility of the contractor.
Water produced by construction dewatering could potentially be discharged to the local
storm or sanitary sewer. Discharge water quality must meet Ecology's Water Quality
Standard for Surface Waters requirements prior to discharge to the stonn sewer system. If
the dewatering effluent does not meet Ecology standards, it could likely be discharged
into the sanitary sewer.
3.6 Earthwork and Erosion Control
------------------------
3. 6. 1 Structural Fill and Compaction
For purposes of this report, material placed under pavement structures or sidewalks,
used as trench backfill, or used as backfill behind below-grade structures such as catch
basins, infiltration galleries, or pipes, is classified as structural fill. Imported structural
fill (Gravel Borrow) should consist of clean, non-plastic, relatively free-draining, sand
and gravel free from organic matter or other deleterious materials. Such materials
should contain particles of less than 4 inches maximum dimension, with less than 7%
fines (material passing the #200 sieve; based on the %-inch fraction), as described in
Section 9-03.14(1) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2014). Fines
should be non-plastic.
Imported structural fill placed as base course below asphaltic pavement should meet the
requirements ofCrushcd Surfacing Base Course (CSBC), as described in Section 9-
03.9(3) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (WSDOT, 2014).
PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28. 2014 FINAL DRAFT 11
ASPECT CONSUL TING
In general, much of the existing on-site fill and trench backfill material is predominantly
granular with variable fines (clay and silt) content. Providing earthwork is completed
during dry weather conditions. much of the on-site soil will be suitable for re-use as
structural backfill. However, based on recent similar utility project experience, it is
probable that WSDOT will discourage the re-use of on-site soils as structural trench
backfill within the travel lanes of State Route 900.
Structural fill should be placed in loose, horizontal, lifts ofnot more than 8 inches in
thickness and compacted to at least 95 % of the maximum dry density, as detennined
using test method ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor). At the time of placement, the
moisture content of structural fill should be at or near optimum. The procedure required
to achieve the specified minimum relative compaction depends on the size and type of
compaction equipment, the number of passes, thickness of the layer being compacted,
and the soil moisture-density properties.
When the first fill is placed in a given area, and/or anytime the fill material changes, the
area should be considered a test section. The test section should be used to establish fill
placement and compaction procedures required to achieve proper compaction. The
geotechnical consultant should observe placement and compaction of the test section to
assist in establishing an appropriate compaction procedure. Once a placement and
compaction procedure is established, the contractor's operations should be monitored
and periodic density tests performed to verify that proper compaction is being achieved.
3.6.2 Wet Weather Earthwork

The existing site soils are not particularly moisture sensitive, but may prove to be
difficult to handle or traverse with construction equipment during periods of wet
weather.
Therefore, general recommendations relative to earthwork performed in wet weather
or in wet conditions are presented below. These recommendations should be
incorporated into the contract specification and should be required when earthwork
is performed in wet conditions:
• Site stripping and fill placement should be accomplished in small
sections to minimize exposure to wet weather. Excavation or
removal of unsuitable soil should be followed promptly by
placement and compaction of a suitable thickness of clean
structural fill. The size and type of construction equipment used
may have to be limited to prevent soil disturbance.
• Material used as structural fill should consist of clean granular
soiL of which not more than 5% passes the U.S. Standard No. 200
sieve, based on wet sieving the fraction passing the %-inch sieve.
The fine-grained portion of structural fill soils should be 11011-
plastic.
• No soil should be left un-compacted so it can absorb water.
FINAL DRAFT PROJECT NO. 140013 • MAY 28, 2014
ASPECT CONSULTING
Stockpiles of excavated soil should either be shaped and the
surface compacted, or be covered with plastic sheets. Soils that
become too wet should be removed and replaced with clean
granular materials.
• Excavation and placement of fill should be monitored by
someone experienced in wet weather earthwork to detennine that
the work is being accomplished in accordance with the project
specifications and the recommendations contained herein.
3.6.3 Temporary and Permanent Erosion and Sediment Control
Considerations
Soil erosion can be minimized by careful grading practices, the appropriate use of silt
fences and/or straw bales and by implementing the recommendations in the Wet
Weather Earthwork section of this report.
Surface runoff control during construction should be the responsibility of the contractor.
All collected water should be controlled and discharged in accordance with local
regulations. Grading measures, slope protection, ditching, sumps, dewatering, and other
measures should be employed as necessary to permit proper completion of the work.
Permanent control of surface water should be incorporated in the final grading design.
Water should not be allowed to pond immediately adjacent to foundations or paved
areas.

5 Uncertainty and Limitations
Work for this project was performed for BHC Consultants and City of Renton Utilities
(Client), and this report was prepared in accordance with generally accepted professional
practices for the nature and conditions of work completed in the same or similar
localities. at the time the work was performed. Experience has shown that subsurface soil
and groundwater conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent
conditions can occur between explorations and may not be detected by a geotechnical
study. Further geolechnical evaluations. analyses and recommendations may be necessary
for the final design of this project. This report does not represent a legal opinion. No
other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
If there is a substantial lapse of time between the submission of this report and the start of
construction, or if conditions have changed due to construction operations at or near the
site, it is recommended that this report be reviewed to determine the applicability of the
conclusions and recommendations considering the changed conditions and lime lapse.
All reports prepared by Aspect Consulting for the Client apply only to the services
described in the Agreement(s) with the Client. Any use or reuse by any party other than
the Client is at the sole risk of that party, and without liability to Aspect Consulting.
Aspect Consulting's original files/reports shall govern in the event of any dispute
regarding the content of electronic documents furnished to others.

ASPECT CONSULTING
B. Field Exploration Program
8.1. Geotechnical Borings
8.2.
Geotechnical borings AB-I and AB-2 were drilled using hollow stem auger drilling
methods by Environmental Drilling Inc., of Snohomish Washington under subcontract to
Aspect. The locations of the four borings, two performed by Aspect and two performed
by Golder Associates, are shown on Figure 2 in the main body of the report. Boring logs
of the completed explorations, and a key to the symbols and terms used in the boring
logs, are found at the end of this appendix as Figures B-1 through B-3.
At selected intervals, disturbed samples were recovered using the Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) in general accordance with ASTM Method 01586. This involves driving a
2-inch outside-diameter split-barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches into the soil with a
140-pound hammer free-falling from a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows for
each 6-inch interval is recorded and the number of blows required to drive the sampler
the final 12 inches is known as the Standard Penetration Resistance ("N") or blow count.
The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils or
the relative consistency of cohesive soils.
An Aspect geotechnical engineer was present throughout the field exploration program to
observe the drilling procedure, assist in sampling, and to prepare descriptive logs of the
exploration. Soils were classified in general accordance with ASTM D-2488, Standard
l'racticefor Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure). The
summary exploration log represents our interpretation of the contents of the field logs.
The stratigraphic contacts shown on the individual summary logs represent the
approximate boundaries between soil types: actual transitions may be more gradual. The
subsurface conditions depicted are only for the specific date and locations reported, and
therefore, are not necessarily representative of other locations and times.
Piezometer
A standpipe piezometer was instalJed in boring AB-2 for periodic measurement of
groundwater levels. The piezometer consists of schedule 40, 2-inch inside diameter (ID)
PVC pipe, with a I 0-foot long PVC-screened section. The annular space around the
piezometer screen zone was backfilled with Colorado I 0/20 silica sand, above which 3/8-
inch bentonite chips were placed to form an annular seal to the ground surface. A
concrete surface seal was installed at the ground surface and secured a bolted, watertight,
steel, flush-mount surface casing. A schematic diagram of the piezometer installation is
shown on the summary log of boring AB-2.
The static groundwater level in the piezometer was determined by making groundwater
level measurements shortly after piczometer installation.

Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
Results (Current Study)
ASPECT CONSULTING
C. Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples to characterize certain
engineering (physical) properties of the soils within the Study Area. Laboratory testing
included detennination of grain-size distribution and natural moisture content. The
laboratory tests were conducted in general accordance with appropriate ASTM test
methods. Test procedures are discussed below.
The grain size distribution of selected samples was analyzed in general accordance with
ASTM D-422, Standard Test Method/or Particle-Size Analysis of Soils. Results of the
grain size distribution testing are presented in this appendix.
The moisture content of selected samples was analyzed in general accordance with ASTM
D-2216, Standard Tes/ Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture)
Content ()(Soil and Rock by Mass. Moisture content test results are plotted on the boring
logs at the appropriate intervals.
