1 Project Information
Project/Site Name: Energize Eastside – Renton Segment – Transmission Line Rebuild
Project
Street/Location: Approximately 12738 NE 24th Street to Talbot Hill Substation, Beacon
Way S
City: Renton State: WA Zip Code: 98056
Receiving waterbody: The project corridor crosses the Cedar River, May Creek and is in
close proximity to Lake Washington.
1.1 Existing Conditions
Total acreage (including support activities such as off-site equipment staging yards, material
storage areas, borrow areas).
Total acreage: 2.84 Acres
Disturbed acreage: TBD
Existing structures: The project includes 41 new poles, some of which will require a new
concrete foundation. All of the new poles replace existing structures in the
transmission corridor.
Landscape topography: In general, the topography of the alignment consists of rolling hills, crossing
May Creek valley and eventually the Cedar River Valley. The majority of the
work is in residential neighborhoods and commercial areas.
Drainage patterns: Stormwater runoff generated by roadways enter conveyance ditches that
are conveyed directly to local streams and tributaries.
Existing vegetation: Existing vegetation on and adjacent to the right-of-way includes coniferous
and deciduous trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and maintained residential
lawn.
Critical Areas: Critical areas within the project vicinity include wetlands, streams, and steep
slopes
There are water bodies near the project site that are listed under 303(d) for temperature, pH and
dissolved oxygen in the vicinity of the project. Details for each can be found in section 5 below.
Project stormwater is not anticipated to discharge to these water bodies.
1.2 Proposed Construction Activities
The proposed project consists of removal of approximately 144 existing poles, installation of
approximately 41 new poles, and stringing new transmission cables along a 4-mile section of
the Energize Eastside Transmission line corridor. The project spans from pole 4/1 near 12738
NE 24th Street to pole 0/1 near Talbot Hill Substation, Beacon Way S.
The majority of the transmission poles will be replaced with similar structures in close proximity
to the existing poles. Holes will be excavated with truck mounted augers, vactoring, or hand-
excavation. Minor improvements may need to be made to facilitate equipment access to certain
poles as well as BMP installation.
In general, the disturbance at each structure is minor and the majority of stormwater is
infiltrated. Where poles are located in close proximity to existing drainage ditches or other
stormwater infrastructure, BMPs will be installed to prevent the discharge of sediment.
Contaminated Site Information:
No known contaminated soils or groundwater occur within the project corridor. If contaminated
soils or groundwater are encountered, the contractor will immediately notify the Environmental
lead and PSE.
2 Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The SWPPP is a living document reflecting current conditions and changes throughout the life
of the project. These changes may be informal (i.e., hand-written notes and deletions). Update
the SWPPP when the CESCL has noted a deficiency in BMPs or deviation from original design.
2.1 The 13 Elements
2.1.1 Element 1: Preserve Vegetation / Mark Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and reduce the volume of soil exposed to construction,
construction limits will be clearly marked where necessary before construction begins. In
situations where pole access is through vegetated areas, existing vegetation will be maintained
to the greatest extent possible. Many of the remaining poles can be replaced from the roadway,
reducing the disturbed area to approximately the footprint of the pole.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C101 Preserving Natural Vegetation
BMP C103 High Visibility Plastic Fence
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented prior to any access improvements or pole replacement activities. At
the first indication that existing BMPs are inadequate, the Environmental Lead will promptly
recommend the implementation of alternative BMPs listed in Appendix D of the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (City of Renton, WA, December 2016) or in Volume 2, Section 4
of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) (Washington
State Department of Ecology, 2012), where applicable.
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater
discharge from the project influence as required by the Construction Stormwater General Permit
(CSWGP). Repair or replace any damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.2 Element 2: Establish Construction Access
The majority of the poles in the alignment can be directly accessed from a paved roadways,
gravel driveways or established access roads. In general, temporary access roads are short and
vegetated, so they do not pose a high dust or track-out risk. Wetland matting will further
minimize track-out from temporary accesses, if current conditions require them.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C105 Stabilized Construction Entrance
Installation Schedules:
At the first indication that conditions are deteriorating, the Environmental Lead will promptly
recommend the implementation of BMPs listed in Appendix D of the City of Renton Surface
Water Design Manual (City of Renton, WA, December 2016) or Volume 2, Section 4 of the
SWMMWW (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012), where applicable.
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater
discharge from the project influence as required by the CSWGP. Repair or replace any
damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.3 Element 3: Control Flow Rates
The proposed pole replacement work does not trigger the flow control requirements of the City
of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (City of Renton, WA, December 2016) or the
SWMMWW (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012), and stormwater discharge
volumes from the project influence are not expected to increase due to the proposed work. No
BMPs are proposed for this element.
2.1.4 Element 4: Install Sediment Controls
Access to many poles that is not from a paved area is through densely vegetated areas that
pose little risk of sediment discharge. The areas of primary concern are poles that are located in
close proximity to critical areas or existing stormwater conveyance channels as well as
construction access points, the latter having been previously considered under Element 2.
Straw wattles and silt fence will be used to contain any disturbed soils around the base of each
pole and to control the perimeter of access roads and work areas. Water from inside the project
influence is expected to infiltrate as discussed in Element 3.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C233 Silt Fence
BMP C235 Straw Wattles
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented prior to any access improvements or pole replacement activities. At
the first indication that existing BMPs are inadequate, the Environmental Lead will promptly
recommend the implementation of alternative BMPs listed in Appendix D of the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (City of Renton, WA, December 2016) or Volume 2, Section 4 of
the SWMMWW (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012).
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater
discharge from the project influence as required by the CSWGP. Repair or replace any
damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.5 Element 5: Stabilize Soils
The project is located West of the Cascade Mountain Crest; therefore, soils may remain
exposed and unworked for no more than seven days during the dry season (May 1 – September
30) or two days during the wet season (October 1 – April 30). Between these times, exposed
soils will be temporarily protected with mulching or plastic covering. Upon completion of work in
each area, exposed soils will be permanently stabilized with seeding or gravel.
Soils must be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on
the weather forecast.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C120 Temporary and Permanent Seeding
BMP C121 Mulching
BMP C123 Plastic Covering
BMP C140 Dust Control
Other BMP Gravel
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented prior to any access improvements or pole replacement activities. At
the first indication that existing BMPs are inadequate, the Environmental Lead will promptly
recommend the implementation of alternative BMPs listed in Appendix D of the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (City of Renton, WA, December 2016) or Volume 2, Section 4 of
the SWMMWW (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012).
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater
discharge from the project influence as required by the CSWGP. Repair or replace any
damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.6 Element 6: Protect Slopes
No cut and fill slopes are associated with this project; therefore, no BMPs are proposed for this
element.
2.1.7 Element 7: Protect Drain Inlets
There are a number of drain inlets in the project influence, none of which are expected to
receive construction stormwater. In the event site conditions change and pose a risk to drain
inlets, the following is proposed:
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C220 Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented prior to any access improvements or pole replacement activities. At
the first indication that existing BMPs are inadequate, the Environmental Lead will promptly
recommend the implementation of alternative BMPs listed in Appendix D of the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (December 2016) or Volume 2, Section 4 of the SWMMWW
(Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012).
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater
discharge from the project influence as required by the CSWGP. Repair or replace any
damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.8 Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets
All roadway runoff within the project site is conveyed within existing channels. The existing
stormwater conveyance system should not experience an increase in stormwater runoff
volumes due to the proposed work. Therefore channel and outlet stabilization are not
necessary. Stormwater runoff that does not enter the roadway conveyance system sheet flows
through vegetated areas.
2.1.9 Element 9: Control Pollutants
All pollutants that occur on site shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that does not
result in stormwater contamination. Cover, containment and protection from vandals shall be
provided for all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products and non-inert wastes.
Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C151 Concrete Handling
BMP C153 Material Delivery, Storage and Containment
BMP C154 Concrete Washout Area
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented prior to any activity that involves a potential pollutant. BMPs will
continue to be used for the duration of the activity with which they’re involved.
Inspection and Maintenance plan:
Inspect for proper storage and containment once every calendar week. Repair or replace any
damaged or ineffective BMPs immediately.
2.1.10 Element 10: Control Dewatering
Dewatering is not anticipated, but if groundwater is encountered it will be collected by a vactor
truck and disposed of at an approved off-site location.
Installation Schedules:
BMPs will be implemented in the event groundwater is encountered and needs to be collected.
2.1.11 Element 11: Maintain BMPs
All temporary and permanent Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) BMPs shall be maintained
and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function.
Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP
specification (see Appendix D of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (City of
Renton, WA, December 2016) or Volume II of the SWMMWW or Chapter 7 of the SWMMEW).
Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the
site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to
once every calendar month.
All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is
achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on-site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal
of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following
completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If
sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility
shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.
2.1.12 Element 12: Manage the Project
The project will be managed based on the following principles:
Projects will be phased to the maximum extent practicable and seasonal work limitations
will be taken into account.
Proper scheduling and sequencing of project activities will be accounted for to minimize
risk of erosion and sediment discharge per BMP C162.
Inspection and monitoring:
o Inspection, maintenance and repair of all BMPs will occur as needed to ensure
performance of their intended function.
o Monitoring of the project will be accomplished by a Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) as outlined in BMP C160.
o Site inspections and monitoring will be conducted in accordance with Special
Condition S4 of the CSWGP. Sampling locations are indicated on the Site Map.
Sampling station(s) are located in accordance with applicable requirements of
the CSWGP.
Maintain an updated SWPPP.
o The SWPPP will be updated, maintained, and implemented in accordance with
Special Conditions S3, S4, and S9 of the CSWGP.
As site work progresses the SWPPP will be modified routinely to reflect changing site
conditions. The SWPPP will be reviewed monthly to ensure the content is current.
2.1.13 Element 13: Protect Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs
There are no LID elements within the project influence.

4 Monitoring and Sampling Requirements
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
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.
Numeric effluent limits may be required for certain discharges to 303(d) listed waterbodies. See
CSWGP Special Condition S8 and Section 5 of this template.
4.1 Site Inspection
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 and in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the CSWGP.
4.2 Stormwater Quality Sampling
4.2.1 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 will be sampled with a Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter for the duration of the project. 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.
Northwest Region (King, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish,
Whatcom): (425) 649-7000 or
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/forms/nerts_online/NWRO_nerts_online.html
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.
4.2.2 pH Sampling
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e., greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete over the life of the project). The use of recycled concrete or 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.
The proposed poles with concrete foundations will have a total volume well below the 1000
cubic yard threshold; therefore, there is no significant concrete work or use of recycled
concrete/engineered soils associated with this project.
5 Discharges to 303(d) or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
Waterbodies
5.1 303(d) Listed Waterbodies
Is the receiving water 303(d) (Category 5) listed for turbidity, fine sediment, phosphorus, or pH?
Yes No
List the impairment(s):
1. May Creek (Listed for temperature, otherwise not applicable).
2. Cedar River (Listed for temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH)
The south end of the project alignment crosses the Cedar River valley. Work on either
side of the river is short in duration, vey localized in nature, set back 700 feet from the
river and not expected to generate any discharge. Access to work areas on either side of
the river is from established access roads or paved areas with satisfactory ground
conditions.
Project stormwater is not anticipated to discharge to these waterbodies. The nature of the work
is very localized and all at-risk stormwater is expected to infiltrate.
6 Reporting and Record Keeping
6.1 Record Keeping
6.1.1 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
Sample logs
6.1.2 Records Retention
Records will be retained during the life of the project and for a minimum of three (3) years
following the termination of permit coverage in accordance with Special Condition S5.C of the
CSWGP.
Permit documentation to be retained on-site:
CSWGP
Permit Coverage Letter
SWPPP
Site Log Book
Permit documentation will be provided within 14 days of receipt of a written request from
Ecology. A copy of the SWPPP or access to the SWPPP will be provided to the public when
requested in writing in accordance with Special Condition S5.G.2.b of the CSWGP.
6.1.3 Updating the SWPPP
The SWPPP will be modified if:
Found ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site.
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.
The SWPPP will be modified within seven (7) days if inspection(s) or investigation(s) determine
additional or modified BMPs are necessary for compliance. An updated timeline for BMP
implementation will be prepared.
6.2 Reporting
6.2.1 Discharge Monitoring Reports
Cumulative soil disturbance is one (1) acre or larger; therefore, Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) will be submitted to Ecology monthly. If there was no discharge during a given
monitoring period the DMR will be submitted as required, reporting “No Discharge”. The DMR
due date is fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month.
DMRs will be reported online through Ecology’s WQWebDMR System.
6.2.2 Notification of Noncompliance
If any of the terms and conditions of the permit is not met, and the resulting noncompliance may
cause a threat to human health or the environment, the following actions will be taken:
1. Ecology will be notified within 24-hours of the failure to comply by calling the applicable
Regional office ERTS phone number (Regional office numbers listed below).
2. Immediate action will be taken to prevent the discharge/pollution or otherwise stop or
correct the noncompliance. If applicable, sampling and analysis of any noncompliance
will be repeated immediately and the results submitted to Ecology within five (5) days of
becoming aware of the violation.
3. A detailed written report describing the noncompliance will be submitted to Ecology
within five (5) days, unless requested earlier by Ecology.
Anytime turbidity sampling indicates turbidity is 250 NTUs or greater, or water transparency is 6
cm or less, the Ecology Regional office will be notified by phone within 24 hours of analysis as
required by Special Condition S5.A of the CSWGP.

BMP Code Title Application Notes
C101 Preserving Natural Vegetation
Minimize disturbance to vegetation wherever possible. Maintaining vegetative cover on slopes and near water bodies is critical. Where possible, construction should be scheduled to maintain vegetation for as long
as possible.
C103 High Visibility Fencing
High visibility plastic fence (HVF) 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.
HVF should be used to establish boundaries of all work areas as well as wetlands. HVF should be installed prior to clearing activities and should remain in place until work is complete in a given area. Silt fence can
be used in lieu of HVF if it is highly visible and is at least 3' tall.
C105 Stabilized Construction
Entrance
The construction entrance shall be composed of 4-8" quarry spalls at 1' deep with a geotextile fabric base. Where possible, the access should be a minimum of 15 feet wide and 100' long. If the entrance intersects
a ditch, install a culvert to permit free flow through the ditch. In instances where ground conditions do not require the use of geotextile and rock installed at the entrance is to remain after completion of the work, the
geotextile can be omitted.
C120 Temporary and Permanent
Seeding
Apply seed to disturbed soils if they are to remain undisturbed for at least 30 days. The optimum seeding windows are from 4/1 to 6/30 and 9/1 through 10/1. Seed applied during the summer months will require
irrigation until 75% area coverage is achieved. Seed applied during the winter months will require a mulch cover to prevent seed from washing away.
C121 Mulching Mulch covers should be 2" thick at a minimum. Mulch should be spread over areas of disturbed soils that require temporary cover for less than 30 days.
C123 Plastic Covering Plastic sheeting can be used to temporary stabilize small areas of disturbed soils. Use caution when applying plastic sheeting as it can increase run-off velocity and concentration which can contribute to erosion.
Use check dams in these areas to mitigate these effects.
C140 Dust Control
High vehicle and equipment traffic on access roads and construction entrances make them particularly susceptible to dust generation. Vehicle speeds should be lowered where dust is being generated. Improve
road surface with mulch or gravel to provide a barrier between vehicle tires and fines. Water trucks can also be used in these areas for temporary lower-traffic applications. Track-out at construction entrances is
considered a problem when dust on the road becomes airborne when vehicles pass over. These areas should be swept and kept free of fines at all times.
C151 Concrete Handling Eco-pans should be used to collect all extra concrete. Excess concrete should be disposed of off site. Cover eco pans and concrete formwork with plastic sheeting to prevent rainwater contamination.
C203 Water Bars For narrow access roads, water bars can be used to direct stormwater to vegetated areas and decrease runoff velocity and gullying. Water bars should be a minimum of 8" high and spaced at 50' to 125' intervals
(decreasing as slope increases).
C207 Check Dams Check dams reduce the velocity and erosivity of stormwater and should be used ditches that may be affected by project stormwater. Straw wattles can be laid perpendicular to the slope of a ditch spaced such that
the base of the upstream check dam is at the same elevation as the peak of the downstream check dam.
C220 Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Storm drains within 500' of a work area or those downstream of the work area should be protected with inserts. Gravel bags can also be used in a check dam application to create stilling ponds directly upstream of
catch basins that allow sediment to separate from stormwater flows.
C233 Silt Fence
C235 Wattles
S1 Wetland Matting
S2 Asphalt Protection
S3 Gravel Stabilization
S4 Steep Slope Setback
Silt fence should be applied downslope of all disturbed areas and along the perimeter of sensitive areas. Silt fence shall be wire-backed with metal posts on 6' centers and keyed in at least 4" at the base. In areas
where keying will cause undue soil disturbance, straw wattles staked in along the base of a silt fence to serve as a key. In all cases, silt fence should be installed such that the post is downhill of the fabric (if pre-
sewn silt fence is used, the seam will face away from the work).
Wattles should be used to temporarily contain soils in disturbed areas and slopes. Install wattles perpendicular to the direction of flow. Wattles should be keyed into soils so that the wattle is securely fastened to the
ground. Wattles should generally be placed at 10-25' intervals.
Mats should be used in areas where permanent access improvements are not possible or practical and equipment access is required. Hog fuel can be applied below mats to stabilize accesses.
Measures shall be taken to prevent damage to pavement and curbs from vehicles driving on them abnormally. This typically includes the use of matting to prevent the breakdown of pavement edges and can be
used in conjunction with C105.
Gravel shall be applied to all areas that are susceptible to dusting in dry weather and/or accelerated erosion. Do not add gravel to severely destabilized areas without including a geotextile base. Applied gravel
should be free of fines that may contribute to dusting and/or turbidity.
The work area is near a steep slope that is susceptible to erosion and landslide hazards. Refer to the authority having jurisdiction's requirements for setbacks and working in this area.

B. BMP Details
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-11
facility, runoff treatment facility, and on-site BMP areas [existing or proposed] shall not be used for this purpose).
10.Control Pollutants: Stormwater pollution prevention (SWPPS) measures are required to prevent,
reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or
watercourses from construction-related activities such as materials delivery and storage, onsiteequipment fueling and maintenance, demolition of existing buildings and disposition of demolition
materials and other waste, and concrete handling, washout and disposal. Section D.2.2 describesBMPs specific to this purpose; additionally, several of the ESC BMPs described herein are applicable.
11.Protect Existing and Proposed Stormwater Facilities and On-site BMPs: Sedimentation and soil
compaction reduce the infiltration capacity of native and engineered soils. Protection measures shall
be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent adverse impacts to existing stormwater facilitiesand on-site BMPs and areas of proposed stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs for the project.
Adverse impacts can prompt the requirement to restore or replace affected stormwater facilities andon-site BMPs.
12.Maintain Protective BMPs:Protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued
performance of their intended function, to prevent adverse impacts to existing BMPs/facilities and
areas of proposed BMPs/facilities, and protect other disturbed areas of the project.
13.Manage the Project:Coordination and timing of site development activities relative to ESC
concerns, and timely inspection, maintenance and update of protective measures are necessary toeffectively manage the project and ensure the success of protective ESC and SWPPS design and
implementation.
D.2.1.1 CLEARING LIMITS
Prior to any site clearing or grading, those areas that are to remain undisturbed during project construction
shall be delineated. At a minimum, clearing limits shall be installed at the edges of all critical area buffersand any other areas required to be left uncleared such as portions of the site subject to clearing limits under
RMC 4-4-060, areas around significant trees identified to be retained, on-site BMP areas to be protected,and other areas identified to be left undisturbed to protect sensitive features.
Purpose:The purpose of clearing limits is to prevent disturbance of those areas of the project site that arenot designated for clearing or grading. This is important because limiting site disturbance is the single
most effective method for reducing erosion. Clearing limits may also be used to control construction traffic, thus reducing the disturbance of soil and limiting the amount of sediment tracked off site.
When to Install: Clearing limits shall be installed prior to the clearing and/or grading of the site.
Measures to Use: Marking clearing limits by delineating the site with a continuous length of brightly
colored survey tape is sometimes sufficient. The tape may be supported by vegetation or stakes, and itshall be 3 to 6 feet high and highly visible. Critical areas and their buffers require more substantial
protection and shall be delineated with plastic or metal safety fences or stake and wire fences. Fencing may be required at the City’s discretion to control construction traffic or at any location where greater
protection is warranted. Permanent fencing may also be used if desired by the applicant. Silt fence, incombination with survey flagging, is also an acceptable method of marking critical areas and their buffers.
D.2.1.1.1 PLASTIC OR METAL FENCE
Code: FE Symbol:
Purpose
Fencing is intended to (1) restrict clearing to approved limits; (2) prevent disturbance of critical areas, their
buffers, and other areas required to be left undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated
construction entrances or roads; and (4) protect areas where marking with survey tape may not provide
adequate protection.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-12
Conditions of Use
To establish clearing limits, plastic or metal fence may be used:
1.At the boundary of critical areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be left uncleared.
2.As necessary to control vehicle access to and on the site (see Sections D.2.1.4.1 and D.2.1.4.2).
Design and Installation Specifications
1.The fence shall be designed and installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
2.The fence shall be at least 3 feet high and must be highly visible.
3.The fence shall not be wired or stapled to trees.
Maintenance Requirements
1.If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or replaced immediately and
visibility restored.
2.Disturbance of a critical area, critical area buffer, native growth retention area, or any other area
required to be left undisturbed shall be reported to the City for resolution.
D.2.1.2 COVER MEASURES
Temporary and permanent cover measures shall be provided to protect all disturbed areas, including the
faces of cut and fill slopes. Temporary cover shall be installed if an area is to remain unworked for more than seven days during the dry season (May 1 to September 30) or for more than two consecutive working
days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). These time limits may be relaxed if an area poses alow risk of erosion due to soil type, slope gradient, anticipated weather conditions, or other factors.
Conversely, the City may reduce these time limits if site conditions warrant greater protection (e.g., adjacent to significant aquatic resources or highly erosive soils) or if significant precipitation (see
Section D.2.4.2) is expected. Any area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall be seeded orsodded, unless the City determines that winter weather makes vegetation establishment infeasible. During
the wet season, slopes and stockpiles at 3H:1V or steeper and with more than ten feet of vertical reliefshall be covered if they are to remain unworked for more than 12 hours. Also during the wet season, the
material necessary to cover all disturbed areas must be stockpiled on site. The intent of these coverrequirements is to have as much area as possible covered during any period of precipitation.
Purpose: The purpose of covering exposed soils is to prevent erosion, thus reducing reliance on less effective methods that remove sediment after it is entrained in runoff. Cover is the only practical method
of reducing turbidity in runoff. Structural measures, such as silt fences and sediment ponds, are only capable of removing coarse particles and in most circumstances have little to no effect on turbidity.
When to Install: Any exposed soils that will remain unworked for more than the time limit set above shall be covered by the end of the working day. If the exposed area is to remain unworked for more than
30 days, the area shall be seeded with the temporary seed mix or an equivalent mix that will provide rapid protection (see Section D.2.1.2.6). If the disturbed area is to remain unworked for a year or more or if the
area has reached final grade, permanent seed mix or an equivalent mix shall be applied.
Measures to Use: Cover methods include the use of surface roughening, mulch, erosion control nets and
blankets, plastic covering, seeding, and sodding. Mulch and plastic sheeting are primarily intended to protect disturbed areas for a short period of time, typically days to a few months. Seeding and sodding are
measures for areas that are to remain unworked for months. Erosion nets and blankets are to be used in conjunction with seeding steep slopes. The choice of measures is left to the designer; however, there are
restrictions on the use of these methods, which are listed in the “Conditions of Use” and the “Design and Installation Specifications” sections for each measure.
The methods listed are by no means exhaustive. Variations on the standards presented here are encouraged if other cost-effective products or methods provide substantially equivalent or superior performance. Also,
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES

the details of installation can, and should, vary with the site conditions. A useful reference on the application of cover measures in the Puget Sound area is Improving the Cost Effectiveness of Highway
Construction Site Erosion and Pollution Control, Horner, Guedry, and Kortenhof (1990).
D.2.1.2.1 SURFACE ROUGHENING
Purpose
The purpose of surface roughening is to aid in the establishment of vegetative cover and to reduce runoff
velocity, increase infiltration, and provide for sediment trapping through the provision of a rough soil
surface. The rough soil surface may be created by operating a tiller or other equipment on the contour to
form horizontal depressions or by leaving slopes in a roughened condition by not fine grading.
Conditions of Use
1.All slopes steeper than 3H:1V and greater than 5 vertical feet require surface roughening.
2.Areas with grades steeper than 3H:1V should be roughened to a depth of 2 to 4 inches prior to
seeding.
3.Areas that will not be stabilized immediately may be roughened to reduce runoff velocity until seeding
takes place.
4. Slopes with a stable rock face do not require roughening.
5. 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 D.2.1.2.A for information on 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. Sole reliance on roughening for temporary erosion
control is of limited effectiveness in intense rainfall events. Stair-step grading may not be practical for
sandy, steep, or shallow soils.
1.Disturbed areas that will not require mowing may be stair-step graded, grooved, or left rough after
filling
2. 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.
3.Areas that will be mowed (slopes less steep than 3H:1V) may have small furrows left by disking,
harrowing, raking, or seed-planting machinery operated on the contour.
4.Graded areas with slopes greater 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.
5. Tracking is done by operating equipment up and down the slope to leave horizontal depressions in the
soil.
Maintenance Standards
Periodically check roughened, seeded, planted, and mulched slopes for rills and gullies, particularly after a
significant storm event. Fill these areas slightly above the original grade, then re-seed and mulch as soon
as possible.

D.2.1.2.2 MULCHING
Code: MU Symbol:
Purpose
The purpose of mulching soils is to provide 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 may be used. Only the most
common types are discussed in this section.
Conditions of Use
As a temporary cover measure, mulch should be used:
1. On disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days
2. As a cover for seed during the wet season and during the hot summer months
3. During the wet season on slopes steeper than 3H:1V with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
Design and Installation Specifications
For mulch materials, application rates, and specifications, see Table D.2.1.2.A. Note: Thicknesses may be
increased for disturbed areas in or near critical areas or other areas highly susceptible to erosion.
Maintenance Standards
1.The thickness of the cover must be maintained.
2. 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 drainage problem shall be assessed and alternate drainage
such as interceptor swales may be needed to fix the problem and the eroded area remulched.

Straw Air-dried; free from undesirable seed and coarse material
2″–3″ thick; 5 bales per 1,000 sf or 2–3 tons per acre
Cost-effective protection when applied with adequate thickness. Hand-application generally requires greater thickness than blown straw. Straw should be crimped to avoid wind blow. The thickness of straw may be reduced by half when used in conjunction with seeding. Wood Fiber Cellulose No growth inhibiting factors Approx. 25–30 lbs per 1,000 sf or 1,500–2,000 lbs per acre
Shall be applied with hydromulcher. Shall not be used without seed and tackifier unless the application rate is at least doubled. Some wood fiber with very long fibers can be effective at lower application rates and without seed or tackifier. Compost No visible water or dust during handling. Must be purchased from supplier with Solid Waste Handling Permit.
2″ thick min.; approx. 100 tons per acre (approx. 1.5 cubic feet per square yard)
More effective control can be obtained by increasing thickness to 3″ (2.25 cubic feet per square yard). Excellent mulch for protecting final grades until landscaping because it can be directly seeded or tilled into soil as an amendment. Compost may not be used in Sensitive Lake7 basins unless analysis of the compost shows no phosphorous release. Hydraulic Matrices (Bonded Fiber Matrix [BFM])
This mulch category includes hydraulic slurries composed of wood fiber, paper fiber or a combination of the two held together by a binding system. The BFM shall be a mixture of long wood fibers and various bonding agents.
Apply at rates from 3,000 lbs per acre to 4,000 lbs per acre and based on manufacturers recommendations
The BFM shall not be applied immediately before, during or immediately after rainfall so that the matrix will have an opportunity to dry for 24 hours after installation. Application rates beyond 2,500 pounds may interfere with germination and are not usually recommended for turf establishment. BFM is generally a matrix where all fiber and binders are in one bag, rather than having to mix components from various manufacturers to create a matrix. BFMs can be installed via helicopter in remote areas. They are approximately $1,000 per acre cheaper to install. Chipped Site Vegetation Average size shall be several inches. 2″ minimum thickness This is a cost-effective way to dispose of debris from clearing and grubbing, and it eliminates the problems associated with 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.
7 Sensitive lake means a lake that has proved to be particularly prone to eutrophication; the City did not have any lakes that had this designation at the time of SWDM adoption.

2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-17
D.2.1.2.3 NETS AND BLANKETS
Code: NE Symbol:
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 are
strands of material woven into an open, but high-tensile strength net (for example, jute 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:
1. For permanent stabilization of slopes 2H:1V or greater and with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
2. In conjunction with seed for final stabilization of a slope, not for temporary cover. However, they may
be used for temporary applications as long as the product is not damaged by repeated handling. In fact,
this method of slope protection is superior to plastic sheeting, which generates high-velocity runoff
(see Section D.2.1.2.4).
3. 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. Synthetic nets and blankets may be used to permanently stabilize channels and may provide
a cost-effective, environmentally preferable alternative to riprap.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.2.B and Figure D.2.1.2.C for typical orientation and installation of nettings and
blankets. Note: 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.
2. 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 thoroughly consults the manufacturer’s
information and that a site visit takes place in order to ensure that the product specified is
appropriate.
3. Jute matting must be used in conjunction with mulch (Section D.2.1.2.2). 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. Other types of products will have to be evaluated individually. 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.
4. Purely synthetic blankets are allowed but shall only be used for long-term stabilization of waterways.
The organic blankets authorized above are better for slope protection and short-term waterway
protection because they retain moisture and provide organic matter to the soil, substantially improving
the speed and success of re-vegetation.
Maintenance Standards
1. Good contact with the ground must be maintained, and there must not be erosion beneath the net or
blanket.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-18
2. Any areas of the net or blanket that are damaged or not in close contact with the ground shall be repaired and stapled.
3. If erosion occurs due to poorly controlled drainage, the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area
protected.

D.2.1.2.4 PLASTIC COVERING
Code: PC Symbol:
Purpose
Plastic covering provides immediate, short-term erosion protection to slopes and disturbed areas.
Conditions of Use
1. Plastic covering may be used on disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days.
2. 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 applications.
3. Clear plastic sheeting may be used over newly-seeded areas to create a greenhouse effect and
encourage grass growth. Clear plastic should not be used for this purpose during the summer months
because the resulting high temperatures can kill the grass.
4. Due to rapid runoff caused by plastic sheeting, this method shall not be used upslope of areas that
might be adversely impacted by concentrated runoff. Such areas include steep and/or unstable slopes.
Note: There have been many problems with plastic, usually attributable to poor installation and
maintenance. However, the material itself can cause problems, even when correctly installed and
maintained, because it generates high-velocity runoff and breaks down quickly due to ultraviolet
radiation. In addition, if the plastic is not completely removed, it can clog drainage system inlets and
outlets. It is highly recommended that alternatives to plastic sheeting be used whenever possible and that
its use be limited.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.2.D for details.
2. Plastic sheeting shall have a minimum thickness of 0.06 millimeters.
3. 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.

2. If the plastic begins to deteriorate due to ultraviolet radiation, it must be completely removed and replaced.
3. When the plastic is no longer needed, it shall be completely removed.
D.2.1.2.5 STRAW WATTLES
Code: SW Symbol:
Purpose
Wattles are erosion and sediment control barriers consisting of straw wrapped in biodegradable tubular plastic or similar encasing material. Wattles may reduce the velocity and can spread the flow of rill and
sheet runoff, and can capture and retain sediment. Straw wattles are typically 8 to 10 inches in diameter and 25 to 30 feet in length. The wattles are placed in shallow trenches and staked along the contour of
disturbed or newly constructed slopes.
Conditions of Use
1. Install on disturbed areas that require immediate erosion protection.
2. Use on slopes requiring stabilization until permanent vegetation can be established.
3. Can be used along the perimeter of a project, as a check dam in unlined ditches and around temporary stockpiles
4. Wattles can be staked to the ground using willow cuttings for added revegetation.
5. Rilling can occur beneath and between wattles if not properly entrenched, allowing water to pass
below and between wattles
Design and Installation Specifications
1. It is critical that wattles are installed perpendicular to the flow direction and parallel to the slope contour.
2. 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 during high rainfall events, the trenches
should be dug to a depth of 5 to 7 inches, or ½ to 2/3 of the thickness of the wattle.
3. Start construction of trenches and installing wattles from the base of the slope and work uphill.
Excavated material should be spread evenly along the uphill slope and compacted using hand tamping or other method. Construct trenches at contour intervals of 3 to 30 feet apart depending on the
steepness of the slope, soil type, and rainfall. The steeper the slope the closer together the trenches should be constructed.
4. Install the wattles snugly into the trenches and abut tightly end to end. Do not overlap the ends.
5. Install stakes at each end of the wattle, and at 4 foot centers along the entire length of the wattle.
6. If required, install pilot holes for the stakes using a straight bar to drive holes through the wattle and into the soil.
7. At a minimum, wooden stakes should be approximately ¾ x ¾ x 24 inches. Willow cuttings or 3/8 inch rebar can also be used for stakes.
8. Stakes should be driven through the middle of the wattle, leaving 2 to 3 inches of the stake protruding above the wattle.

D.2.1.2.6 TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SEEDING
Code: SE Symbol:
Purpose
Seeding is intended to reduce erosion by stabilizing exposed soils. A well-established vegetative cover is
one of the most effective methods of reducing erosion.
Conditions of Use
1. Seeding shall be used throughout the project on disturbed areas that have reached final grade or that
will remain unworked for more than 30 days.
2. Vegetation-lined channels shall be seeded. Channels that will be vegetated should be installed before
major earthwork and hydroseeded or covered with a Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM).
3. Retention/detention ponds shall be seeded as required.
4. At the City’s discretion, seeding without mulch during the dry season is allowed even though it will
take more than seven days to develop an effective cover. Mulch is, however, recommended at all
times because it protects seeds from heat, moisture loss, and transport due to runoff.
5. Prior to the beginning of the wet season, all disturbed areas shall be reviewed to identify which ones
can be seeded in preparation for the winter rains (see Section D.2.4.2). Disturbed areas shall be seeded
within one week of the beginning of the wet season. A sketch map of those areas to be seeded and
those areas to remain uncovered shall be submitted to the CED inspector. The CED inspector may
require seeding of additional areas in order to protect surface waters, adjacent properties, or drainage
facilities.
6. At final site stabilization, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated or stabilized shall be seeded and
mulched (see Section D.2.4.5).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. The best time to seed is fall (late September to October) or in spring (mid-March to June). Irrigation
is required during the first summer following installation if seeding occurs in spring or summer or
during prolonged dry times of year. Areas may also be seeded during the winter months, but it may
take additional spring seeding applications to develop a dense groundcover due to cold temperatures.
The application and maintenance of mulch is critical for winter seeding.
2. To prevent seed from being washed away, confirm that all required surface water control measures
have been installed.
3. The seedbed should not be compacted because soils that are well compacted will not vegetate as
quickly or thoroughly. Slopes steeper than 3H:1V shall be surface roughened. Roughening can be
accomplished in a variety of ways, but the typical method is track walking, or driving a crawling
tractor up and down the slope, leaving cleat imprints parallel to the slope contours.
4. In general, 10-20-20 N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) fertilizer may be used at a rate of
90 pounds per acre. Slow-release fertilizers are preferred because they are more efficient and have
fewer environmental impacts. It is recommended that areas being seeded for final landscaping conduct
soil tests to determine the exact type and quantity of fertilizer needed. This will prevent the over-
application of fertilizer. Disturbed areas within 200 feet of water bodies and wetlands must use slow-
release low-phosphorus fertilizer (typical proportions 3-1-2 N-P-K).
5. The following requirements apply to mulching:
a) Mulch is always required for seeding slopes greater than 3H:1V (see Section D.2.1.2.2).
b) If seeding during the wet season, mulch is required.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-24
c) The use of mulch may be required during the dry season at the City’s discretion if grass growth is
expected to be slow, the soils are highly erodible due to soil type or gradient, there is a water body
close to the disturbed area, or significant precipitation (see Section D.2.4.2) is anticipated before the grass will provide effective cover.
d) Mulch may be applied on top of the seed or simultaneously by hydroseeding.
6. Hydroseeding is allowed as long as tackifier is included. Hydroseeding with wood fiber mulch is adequate during the dry season. Application of hydroseeded wood fiber mulch should be appropriate
for slope angle. Follow manufacturer specifications for application rates.
7. Areas to be permanently landscaped shall use soil amendments. Good quality topsoil shall be tilled into the top six inches to reduce the need for fertilizer and improve the overall soil quality. Most
native soils will require the addition of four inches of well-rotted compost to be tilled into the soil to
provide a good quality topsoil. Compost used should meet specifications provided in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM.
8. The seed mixes listed below include recommended mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding.
These mixes, with the exception of the wetland mix, shall be applied at a rate of 80 to 100 seeds per square foot. Wet sites should apply 120 to 150 seeds per square foot. Local suppliers should be consulted for information on current Pure Live Seed (PLS) rates and species specific seeds per pound
in order to determine seed mix PLS pounds of seed per acre. The appropriate mix depends on a variety
of factors, including exposure, soil type, slope, and expected foot traffic. Alternative seed mixes
approved by the City may be used.
Table D.2.1.2.B presents the standard mix for those areas where t a temporary or permanent vegetative
cover is required. The following mix assumes a desired 150 seeds per square foot and should be applied at approximately 37 pounds of pure live seed per acre.

The meadow seed mix in Table D.2.1.2.G is recommended for areas that will be maintained infrequently or not at all and where colonization by native plants is desirable. Likely applications include rural road and
utility right-of-way. Seeding should take place in September or very early October in order to obtain
adequate establishment prior to the winter months. This seed mix assumes a target goal of 120 seeds per
square foot and an application rate of 23 pounds of pure live seed per acre.

Maintenance Standards for Temporary and Permanent Seeding
1. Any seeded areas that fail to establish at least 80 percent cover within one month shall be reseeded. If
reseeding is ineffective, an alternate method, such as sodding or nets/blankets, shall be used. If winter
weather prevents adequate seed establishment and growth, this time limit may be relaxed at the
discretion of the City when critical areas would otherwise be protected.
2. After adequate cover is achieved, any areas that experience erosion shall be re-seeded and protected
by mulch. If the erosion problem is drainage related, the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area re-
seeded and protected by mulch.
3. Seeded areas shall be supplied with adequate moisture, but not watered to the extent that it causes
runoff.
D.2.1.2.7 SODDING
Code: SO Symbol:
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:
1. Disturbed areas that require short-term or long-term cover
2. Disturbed areas that require immediate vegetative cover
3. All waterways that require vegetative lining (except biofiltration swales—the seed mix used in most
sod is not appropriate for biofiltration swales). Waterways may also be seeded rather than sodded, and
protected with a net or blanket (see Section D.2.1.2.3).
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-27
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:
1. Shape and smooth the surface to final grade in accordance with the approved grading plan.
2. Amend four inches (minimum) of well-rotted compost into the top eight inches of the soil if the
organic content of the soil is less than ten percent. Compost used shall meet compost specifications per SWDM Reference Section 11-C.
3. Fertilize according to the supplier’s recommendations. Disturbed areas within 200 feet of water bodies and wetlands must use non-phosphorus fertilizer.
4. Work lime and fertilizer 1 to 2 inches into the soil, and smooth the surface.
5. 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.
6. Roll the sodded area and irrigate.
7. 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.
D.2.1.2.8 POLYACRYLAMIDE 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
1. PAM shall not be directly applied to water or allowed to enter a water body.
2. PAM may be applied to wet soil, but dry soil is preferred due to less sediment loss.
3. PAM will work when applied to saturated soil but is not as effective as applications to dry or damp
soil.
4. PAM may be applied only to the following types of bare soil areas that drain to a sediment trap or a
sediment pond:
• Staging areas
• Stockpiles
• Pit sites
• Balanced cut and fill earthwork
• Haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing
• Compacted soil road base
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-28
5. PAM may be applied only during the following phases of construction:
• During rough grading operations
• After final grade and before paving or final seeding and planting
• During a winter shut down of site work. In the case of winter shut down, or where soil will remain
unworked for several months, PAM should be used together with mulch.
6. Do not use PAM on a slope that flows directly to a stream or wetland. The stormwater runoff shall
pass through a sediment control measure prior to discharging to surface waters.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. PAM must be applied using one of two methods of application, “preferred” or “alternative.” The
specifications for these methods are described under separate headings below.
2. PAM may be applied in dissolved form with water, or it may be applied in dry, granular or powdered
form. The preferred application method is the dissolved form.
3. PAM is to be applied at a maximum rate of ½ pound PAM per 1000 gallons of water per 1 acre of
bare soil. Table D.2.1.2.H may be used to determine the PAM and water application rate for disturbed
soil areas. Higher concentrations of PAM do not provide any additional effectiveness.
4. Do not add PAM to water discharging from the site.
5. PAM shall be used in conjunction with other ESC measures and not in place of them. When the total
drainage area is greater than or equal to 3 acres, PAM treated areas shall drain to a sediment pond per
Section D.2.1.5.2. For drainage areas less than 3 acres, PAM treated areas must drain to a sediment
trap per Section D.2.1.5.1. Other normally required sediment control measures such as perimeter
protection measures (Section D.2.1.3) and surface water collection measures (Section D.2.1.6) shall be
applied to PAM treated areas.
6. All areas not being actively worked shall be covered and protected from rainfall. PAM shall not be the
only cover BMP used.
7. Keep the granular PAM supply out of the sun. Granular PAM loses its effectiveness in three months
after exposure to sunlight and air.
8. Care must be taken to prevent spills of PAM powder onto paved surfaces. PAM, combined with water,
is very slippery and can be a safety hazard. During an application of PAM, prevent over-spray from
reaching pavement as the pavement will become slippery. If PAM powder gets on skin or clothing,
wipe it off with a rough towel rather than washing with water. Washing with water only makes
cleanup more difficult, messier, and time consuming.
9. The specific PAM copolymer formulation must be anionic. Cationic PAM shall not be used in any
application because of known aquatic toxicity concerns. Only the highest drinking water grade PAM,
certified for compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for drinking water treatment, may be used for
soil applications. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) lists approved PAM
products on their web page. All PAM use shall be reviewed and approved by CED.
10. The PAM anionic charge density may vary from 2 to 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 to 15 mg/mole), highly
anionic (>20% hydrolysis) PAM.
11. PAM must be “water soluble” or “linear” or “non-cross-linked.” Cross-linked or water absorbent
PAM, polymerized in highly acidic (pH<2) conditions, are used to maintain soil moisture content.

Preferred Application Method
1. 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 (1/2 pound PAM/1,000 gallons/acre).
2. Dissolve pre-measured dry granular PAM with a known quantity of clean water in a bucket several
hours or overnight. PAM has infinite solubility in water, but dissolves very slowly. Mechanical
mixing will help dissolve PAM. Always add PAM to water – not water to PAM.
3. 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.
4. Add PAM/Water mixture to the truck.
5. Completely fill the water truck to specified volume.
6. Spray PAM/Water mixture onto dry soil until the soil surface is uniformly and completely wetted.
Alternate Application Method
PAM may also be applied as a powder at the rate of 5 pounds per acre. This must be applied on a day that
is dry. For areas less than 5 to 10 acres, a hand-held “organ grinder” fertilized spreader set to the smallest
setting will work. Tractor mounted spreaders will work for larger areas.
Maintenance Standards
1. PAM may be reapplied on actively worked areas after a 48-hour period
2. 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 clay
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.
D.2.1.2.9 COMPOST BLANKETS
Code: COBL Symbol:
Purpose
Compost blankets are intended to:
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-30
• Provide immediate temporary protection from erosion by protecting soil from rainfall and slowing
flow velocity over the soil surface.
• Enhance temporary or permanent plant establishment by conserving moisture, holding seed and topsoil in place, providing nutrients and soil microorganisms, and moderating soil temperatures.
• Compost blankets, applied at the proper thickness and tilled into the soil, are also an option for
amending soils for permanent landscaping.
• Compost generally releases and adds phosphorous to stormwater. Therefore, compost blankets are not
recommended for use in watersheds where phosphorous sensitive water resources are located. Unless prior approval is given by the City, they should not be used in Sensitive Lake Watersheds.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost blankets may be used unseeded on disturbed areas that require temporary cover measures up
to 1 year. Compost applied as temporary cover may be reclaimed and re-used for permanent cover.
2. Compost provides cover for protecting final grades until landscaping can be completed as it can be
directly seeded or tilled into soil as an amendment.
3. Compost blankets meet mulch requirements for seed.
4. Seed may be applied to a compost blanket at any time for permanent or temporary stabilization of
disturbed areas. Seed may be applied prior to blanket application, on top of blankets, or injected and
mixed into the compost as it is applied.
5. Compost blankets may be applied on slopes up to 2H:1V.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost shall be applied at a minimum of 2 inches thick, unless otherwise directed by an ESC
supervisor or the City. At an application of 2 inches, this will equal approximately 100 tons per acre
(compost generally weighs approximately 800 lbs per cubic yard). Thickness shall be increased at the
direction of the design engineer for disturbed areas in or near critical areas or other areas highly
susceptible to erosion.
2. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM.
3. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
4. Compost blankets shall be applied over the top of the slope to which it is applied, to prevent water
from running under the blanket
5. Compost blankets shall not be used in areas exposed to concentrated flow (e.g., channels, ditches,
dikes)
Maintenance Standards
1. The specified thickness of the blanket/cover must be maintained.
2. Any areas that show signs of erosion must be re-mulched. If the erosion problem is drainage related,
then the drainage problem must first be remedied and then the eroded area re-mulched.
D.2.1.3 PERIMETER PROTECTION
Perimeter protection to filter sediment from sheetwash shall be located downslope of all disturbed areas
and shall be installed prior to upslope grading. Perimeter protection includes the use of vegetated strips as
well as, constructed measures, such as silt fences, fiber rolls, sand/gravel barriers, brush or rock filters,
triangular silt dikes and other methods. During the wet season, 50 linear feet of silt fence (and the
necessary stakes) per acre of disturbed area must be stockpiled on site.
Purpose: The purpose of perimeter protection is to reduce the amount of sediment transported beyond the
disturbed areas of the construction site. Perimeter protection is primarily a backup means of sediment
control. Most, if not all, sediment-laden water is to be treated in a sediment trap or pond. The only
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-31
circumstances in which perimeter control is to be used as a primary means of sediment removal is when the catchment is very small (see below).
When to Install: Perimeter protection is to be installed prior to any upslope clearing and grading.
Measures to Use: The above measures may be used interchangeably and are not the only perimeter
protection measures available. If surface water is collected by an interceptor dike or swale and routed to a sediment pond or trap, there may be no need for the perimeter protection measures specified in this
section.
Criteria for Use as Primary Treatment: At the boundary of a site, perimeter protection may be used as
the sole form of treatment when the flowpath meets the criteria listed below. If these criteria are not met,
perimeter protection shall only be used as a backup to a sediment trap or pond.
Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length
1.5H:1V or less 67% or less 100 feet
2H:1V or less 50% or less 115 feet
4H:1V or less 25% or less 150 feet
6H:1V or less 16.7% or less 200 feet
10H:1V or less 10% or less 250 feet
D.2.1.3.1 SILT FENCE
Code: SF Symbol:
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.
Conditions of Use
1. Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. Silt fence is not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor is it intended to treat substantial amounts of
overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a sediment
trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a silt fence,
rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the fence is small (see “Criteria for
Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3 above).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.3.A and Figure D.2.1.3.B for details.
2. The geotextile used must meet the standards listed below. A copy of the manufacturer’s fabric
specifications must be available on site.
AOS (ASTM D4751) 30–100 sieve size (0.60–0.15 mm) for slit film 50–100 sieve size (0.30–0.15 mm) for other fabrics Water Permittivity (ASTM D4491) 0.02 sec-1 minimum Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4632) (see Specification Note 3) 180 lbs. min. for extra strength fabric 100 lbs. min. for standard strength fabric Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max. (woven) Ultraviolet Resistance (ASTM D4355) 70% min.
3. 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.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-32
4. Where the fence is installed, the slope shall be no steeper than 2H:1V.
5. If a typical silt fence (per Figure D.2.1.3.A) is used, the standard 4 x 4 trench may not be reduced as
long as the bottom 8 inches of the silt fence is well buried and secured in a trench that stabilizes the
fence and does not allow water to bypass or undermine the silt fence.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any damage shall be repaired immediately.
2. If concentrated flows are evident uphill of the fence, they must be intercepted and conveyed to a sediment trap or pond.
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.
4. Sediment must be removed when the sediment is 6 inches high.
5. If the filter fabric (geotextile) has deteriorated due to ultraviolet breakdown, it shall be replaced.

Code: BB Symbol:
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
1. Brush barriers may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. 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 trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a
barrier, rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the barrier is small (see
“Criteria for Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.3.C for details.
2. The City may require filter fabric (geotextile) anchored over the brush berm to enhance the filtration
ability of the barrier.
Maintenance Standards
1. 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.
2. The dimensions of the barrier must be maintained.

D.2.1.3.3 VEGETATED STRIP
Code: VS Symbol:
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
1. Vegetated strips may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. 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 trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a strip,
rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the strip is small (see “Criteria for
Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. The vegetated strip shall consist of a 25-foot minimum width continuous strip of dense vegetation
with a permeable 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.
2. The slope within the strip shall not exceed 4H:1V.
3. The uphill boundary of the vegetated strip shall be delineated with clearing limits as specified in
Section D.2.1.1.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any areas damaged by erosion or construction activity shall be seeded immediately and protected by
mulch.
2. If more than 5 feet of the original vegetated strip width has had vegetation removed or is being eroded,
sod must be installed using the standards for installation found in Section D.2.1.2.7.
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.
D.2.1.3.4 TRIANGULAR SILT DIKE (GEOTEXTILE ENCASED CHECK DAM)
Code: TSD Symbol:
Purpose
Triangular silt dikes (TSDs) may be used as check dams, for perimeter protection, for temporary soil
stockpile protection, for drop inlet protection, or as a temporary interceptor dike. Silt dikes, if attached to
impervious surfaces with tack or other adhesive agent may also be used as temporary wheel wash areas, or
concrete washout collection areas.
Conditions of Use
1. May be used for temporary check dams in ditches.
2. May be used on soil or pavement with adhesive or staples.
3. TSDs have been used to build temporary sediment ponds, diversion ditches, concrete washout
facilities, curbing, water bars, level spreaders, and berms.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-37
Design and Installation Specifications
1. TSDs must be made of urethane foam sewn into a woven geosynthetic fabric.
2. TSDs are triangular, 10 inches to 14 inches high in the center, with a 20-inch to 28-inch base. A 2-foot apron extends beyond both sides of the triangle along its standard section of 7 feet. A sleeve at one
end allows attachment of additional sections as needed
3. Install TSDs with ends curved up to prevent water from flowing around the ends
4. Attach the TSDs and their fabric flaps to the ground with wire staples. Wire staples must be No. 11 gauge wire or stronger and shall be 200 mm to 300 mm in length.
5. When multiple units are installed, the sleeve of fabric at the end of the unit shall overlap the abutting unit and be stapled.
6. TSDs must be located and installed as soon as construction will allow.
7. TSDs must be placed perpendicular to the flow of water.
8. When used as check dams, the leading edge must be secured with rocks, sandbags, or a small key slot and staples.
9. When used in grass-lined ditches and swales, the TSD 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 TSD check dams shall be seeded and mulched
immediately after dam removal.
Maintenance Standards
1. Triangular silt dikes shall be monitored for performance and sediment accumulation during and after
each runoff producing rainfall event. Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one half the height of the silt dike.
2. Anticipate submergence and deposition above the triangular silt dike and erosion from high flows around the edges of the dike/dam. Immediately repair any damage or any undercutting of the
dike/dam.
D.2.1.3.5 COMPOST BERMS
Code: COBE Symbol:
Purpose
Compost berms are an option to meet the requirements of perimeter protection. Compost berms may reduce the transport of sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to
sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. Compost berms trap sediment by filtering water passing through the berm and allowing water to pond, creating a settling area for solids behind the
berm. Organic materials in the compost can also reduce concentrations of metals and petroleum hydrocarbons from construction runoff. Due to the increase in phosphorous seen in the effluent data from
compost berms, they should be used with some cautions in areas that drain to phosphorus sensitive water bodies, and should only be used in Sensitive Lake watersheds, such as Lake Sammamish, with the
approval from the City or the local jurisdiction.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost berms may be used in most areas requiring sediment or erosion control where runoff is in the
form of sheet flow or in areas where silt fence is normally considered acceptable. Compost berms may
be used in areas where migration of aquatic life such as turtles and salamanders are impeded by the use of silt fence.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-38
2. Compost berms are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are they intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed via a drainage system to a
sediment pond or trap.
3. For purposes of long-term sediment control objectives, berms may be seeded at the time of installation
to create an additional vegetated filtering component.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost berms shall be applied using a pneumatic blower device or equivalent, to produce a uniform cross-section and berm density.
2. Compost berms shall be triangular in cross-section. The ratio of base to height dimensions shall be
2:1.
3. The minimum size of a compost berm is a 2-foot base with a 1-foot height.
4. Compost berms shall be sized and spaced as indicated in the table below.

5. Compost berms shall not be used on slopes greater than 2H:1V.
6. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM except for the particle size
distribution (see Bullet 8).
7. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
8. Compost particle size distribution shall be as follows: 99% passing a 1 inch sieve, 90% passing a
3/4-inch sieve and a minimum of 70% greater than the 3/8-inch sieve. A total of 98% shall not exceed
3 inches in length.
9. Berms shall be placed on level contours to assist in dissipating flow into sheet flow rather than
concentrated flows. Berms shall not be constructed to concentrate runoff or channel water. Sheet flow
of water shall be perpendicular to the berm at impact. No concentrated flow shall be directed towards
compost berms.
10. Where possible, berms shall be placed 5 feet or more from the toe of slopes to allow space for
sediment deposition and collection.
11. In order to prevent water from flowing around the ends of the berms, the ends of the berm shall be
constructed pointing upslope so the ends are at a higher elevation than the rest of the berm.
12. A compost blanket extending 10 to 15 feet above the berm is recommended where the surface above
the berm is rutted or uneven, to reduce concentrated flow and promote sheet flow into the berm.
Maintenance Standards
1. Compost berms shall be regularly inspected to make sure they retain their shape and allow adequate
flow-through of stormwater.
2. When construction is completed on site, the berms shall be dispersed for incorporation into the soil or
left on top of the site for final seeding to occur.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-39
3. Any damage to berms must be repaired immediately. Damage includes flattening, compacting, rills, eroded areas due to overtopping.
4. If concentrated flows are evident uphill of the berm, the flows must be intercepted and conveyed to a
sediment trap or pond.
5. The uphill side of the berm shall be inspected for signs of the berm clogging and acting as a barrier to flows and causing channelization of flows parallel to the berm. If this occurs, replace the berm or
remove the trapped sediment.
6. Sediment that collects behind the berm must be removed when the sediment is more than 6 inches
deep.
D.2.1.3.6 COMPOST SOCKS
Code: COSO Symbol:
Purpose
Compost socks reduce the transport of sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment-laden water and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. Compost
socks trap sediment by filtering water that passes through the sock and allows water to pond behind the sock, creating a settling area for solids. Organic materials in the compost also may reduce metal and
petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in construction runoff. Compost socks function similarly to compost berms; however, because the compost is contained in a mesh tube, they are appropriate for both
concentrated flow and sheet flow. Compost socks may be used to channel concentrated flow on hard surfaces.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost socks may be used in areas requiring sediment or erosion control where runoff is in the form
of sheet flow or in areas that silt fence is normally considered acceptable. Compost socks may also be used in sensitive environmental areas where migration of aquatic life, including turtles, salamanders
and other aquatic life may be impeded by the used of silt fence.
2. Compost socks are not intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. However, compost
socks may be subjected to some ponding and concentrated flows. If intended primarily as a filtration device, the socks should be sized and placed so that flows do not overtop the socks.
3. For purposes of long term sediment control objectives, compost socks may be seeded at the time of installation to create an additional vegetated filtering component.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost socks shall be produced using a pneumatic blower hose or equivalent to fill a mesh tube with
compost to create a uniform cross-section and berm density.
2. Socks shall be filled so they are firmly – packed yet flexible. Upon initial filling, the socks shall be
filled to have a round cross-section. Once placed on the ground, it is recommended to apply weight to the sock to improve contact with the underlying surface. This may cause the sock to assume an oval
shape.
3. Compost socks shall be a minimum of 8 inches in diameter. Larger diameter socks are recommended
for areas where ponding is expected behind the sock.
4. Compost socks shall not be used on slopes greater than 2H:1V.
5. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM, except for the particle size distribution (see Bullet 7).
6. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-40
7. Compost particle size distribution shall be as follows: 99% passing a 1-inch sieve, 90% passing a 3/4-inch sieve and a minimum of 70% greater than the 3/8-inch sieve. A total of 98% shall not exceed
3 inches in length.
8. In order to prevent water from flowing around the ends of compost socks, the ends must be pointed
upslope so the ends of the socks are at a higher elevation than the remainder of the sock.
Maintenance Standards
1. Compost socks shall be regularly inspected to make sure the mesh tube remains undamaged, the socks retain their shape, and allow adequate flow through of surface water. If the mesh tube is torn, it shall
be repaired using twine, zip-ties, or wire. Large sections of damaged socks must be replaced. Any damage must be repaired immediately upon discovery of damage.
2. When the sock is no longer needed, the socks shall be cut open and the compost dispersed to be
incorporated into the soil or left on top of the soil for final seeding to occur. The mesh material must
be disposed of properly as solid waste. If spills of oil, antifreeze, hydraulic fluid, or other equipment fluids have occurred that have saturated the sock, the compost must be disposed of properly as a
waste.
3. Sediment must be removed when sediment accumulations are within 3 inches of the top of the sock.
D.2.1.4 TRAFFIC AREA STABILIZATION
Unsurfaced entrances, roads, and parking areas used by construction traffic shall be stabilized to minimize erosion and tracking of sediment off site. Stabilized construction entrances shall be installed as the first
step in clearing and grading. At the City’s discretion, road and parking area stabilization is not required during the dry season (unless dust is a concern) or if the site is underlain by coarse-grained soils. Roads
and parking areas shall be stabilized immediately after initial grading.
Purpose: The purpose of traffic area stabilization is to reduce the amount of sediment transported off site
by construction vehicles and to reduce the erosion of areas disturbed by vehicle traffic. Sediment transported off site onto paved streets is a significant problem because it is difficult to effectively remove,
and any sediment not removed ends up in the drainage system. Additionally, sediment on public right-of-way can pose a serious traffic hazard. Construction road and parking area stabilization is important
because the combination of wet soil and heavy equipment traffic typically forms a slurry of easily erodible mud. Finally, stabilization also is an excellent form of dust control in the summer months.
When to Install: The construction entrance is to be installed as the first step in clearing and grading. Construction road stabilization shall occur immediately after initial grading of the construction roads and
parking areas.
Measures to Use: There are two types of traffic area stabilization: (1) a stabilized construction entrance
and (2) construction road/parking area stabilization. Both measures must be used as specified under “Conditions of Use” for each measure.
D.2.1.4.1 STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE
Code: CE Symbol:
Purpose
Construction entrances are stabilized to reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved roads by
motor vehicles or runoff by constructing a stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances to construction sites.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-41
Conditions of Use
Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be leaving a construction site and traveling
on paved roads or other paved areas within 1,000 feet of the site. Access and exits shall be limited to one route if possible, or two for linear projects such as roadway where more than one access/exit is necessary
for maneuvering large equipment.
For residential construction provide stabilized construction entrances for each residence in addition to the
main subdivision entrance. Stabilized surfaces shall be of sufficient length/width to provide vehicle access/parking, based on lot size/configuration.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.4.A for details.
2. 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 D4632) 200 lbs min. Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max.(woven) Puncture Strength (ASTM D6241) 495 lbs min. AOS (ASTM D4751) 20–45 (U.S. standard sieve size)
3. 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.
4. Hog fuel (wood based mulch) may be substituted for or combined with quarry spalls in areas that will
not be used for permanent roads. The effectiveness of hog fuel is highly variable, but it has been used
successfully on many sites. It generally requires more maintenance than quarry spalls. Hog fuel is not recommended for entrance stabilization in urban areas. The inspector may at any time require the use
of quarry spalls if the hog fuel is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement or if the hog fuel is being carried onto pavement. Hog fuel is prohibited in permanent roadbeds because
organics in the subgrade soils cause difficulties with compaction.
5. Fencing (see Section D.2.1.1) shall be installed as necessary to restrict traffic to the construction
entrance.
6. 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.
Maintenance Standards
1. Quarry spalls (or hog fuel) shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with the specifications.
2. 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 street sweeping, an
increase in the dimensions of the entrance, or the installation of a wheel wash. If washing is used, it
shall be done on an area covered with crushed rock, and wash water shall drain to a sediment trap or pond.
3. Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed immediately by 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 sweeping is ineffective and there is a threat to public safety. If
it is necessary to wash the streets, a small sump must be constructed. The sediment would then be
washed into the sump where it can be controlled. Wash water must be pumped back onto the site and cannot discharge to systems tributary to surface waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-42
4. Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad and end up on the roadway shall be removed immediately.
5. If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the construction entrance(s), fencing (see
Section D.2.1.1) shall be installed to control traffic.
FIGURE D.2.1.4.A SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION OF A STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE
D.2.1.4.2 CONSTRUCTION ROAD/PARKING AREA STABILIZATION
Code: CRS Symbol:
Purpose
Stabilizing subdivision roads, parking areas and other onsite vehicle transportation routes immediately
after grading reduces erosion caused by construction traffic or runoff.
Conditions of Use
1. Roads or parking areas shall be stabilized wherever they are constructed, whether permanent or
temporary, for use by construction traffic.
2. Fencing (see Section D.2.1.1) 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
1. 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 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. Note: If the area will be used for permanent road or parking installation later in
the project, the subgrade will be subject to inspection.
2. Temporary road gradients shall not exceed 15 percent. Roadways shall be carefully graded to drain
transversely. 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 designed in
accordance with the standards given in Section D.2.1.6.4 and directed to a sediment pond or trap.
3. 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, 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 vegetated wetlands. If runoff is allowed to sheet flow through adjacent vegetated areas, it is vital to design the roadways and
parking areas so that no concentrated runoff is created.
4. In order to control construction traffic, the City may require that signs be erected on site informing
construction personnel that vehicles, other than those performing clearing and grading, are restricted to stabilized areas.
5. If construction roads do not adequately reduce trackout to adjacent property or roadways, a wheel wash system will be required.
Maintenance Standards
Crushed rock, gravel base, hog fuel, etc., shall be added as required to maintain a stable driving surface
and to stabilize any areas that have eroded.
D.2.1.4.3 WHEEL WASH
Code: WW Symbol:
Purpose
Wheel wash systems reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved roadways and into surface water systems by construction vehicles.
Conditions of Use
When a stabilized construction entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement:
• Wheel washing is generally an effective erosion and sediment control method and 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 wheels
and undercarriage can run unimpeded into the street.
• Pressure washing combined with an adequately sized and properly surfaced wash pad with direct drainage discharge to a large 10-foot x 10-foot sump can be very effective.
Design and Installation Specifications
A suggested detail is shown in Figure D.2.1.4.B.
1. 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 area.
2. Use a low clearance truck to test the wheel wash before paving. Either a belly dump or lowboy will work well to test clearance.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-44
3. Keep the water level from 12 to 14 inches deep to avoid damage to truck hubs and filling the truck tongues with water.
4. Midpoint spray nozzles are only needed in very muddy conditions.
5. 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 the pond and to help prevent re-suspension of sediment.
6. A drainpipe with a 2- to 3-foot riser should be installed on the low side of the wheel wash pond to allow for easy cleaning and refilling. Polymers may be used to promote coagulation and flocculation
in a closed-loop system.
7. Polyacrylamide (PAM) added to the wheel washwater at a rate of 0.25 to 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 may be used to change the
washwater.
Maintenance Standards
1. The wheel wash should start out each day with clean, fresh water.
2. The washwater should be changed a minimum of once per day. On large earthwork jobs where more
than 10 to 20 trucks per hour are expected, the washwater will need to be changed more often.
3. Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate onsite treatment system, such as
a closed-loop recirculation system or land application, or to the sanitary sewer system with proper approval and/or permits from King County and the City of Renton.

D.2.1.5 SEDIMENT RETENTION
Surface water collected from disturbed areas of the site shall be routed through a sediment pond or trap prior to release from the site. An exception is for areas at the perimeter of the site with drainage areas
small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). Also, if the soils and topography are such that no offsite discharge of surface water is anticipated up to and including the
developed 2-year runoff event, sediment ponds and traps are not required. A 10-year peak flow using the approved model with 15-minute time steps shall be used for sediment pond/trap sizing if the project size,
expected timing and duration of construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection (see below). At the City’s discretion, sites may be worked during the dry season without
sediment ponds and traps if there is some other form of protection of surface waters, such as a 100-foot forested buffer between the disturbed areas and adjacent surface waters. For small sites, use the criteria
defined in Section D.2.1.3, Perimeter Protection to determine minimum flow path length. If the site work has to be extended into the wet season, a back-up plan must be identified in the CSWPP plan and
implemented. Protection of catch basins is required for inlets that are likely to be impacted by sediment generated by the project and that do not drain to an onsite sediment pond or trap. Sediment retention
facilities shall be installed prior to grading of any contributing area and shall be located so as to avoid interference with the movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages.
Purpose: The purpose of sediment retention facilities is to remove sediment from runoff generated from disturbed areas.
When to Install: The facilities shall be constructed as the first step in the clearing and grading of the site. The surface water conveyances may then be connected to the facilities as site development proceeds.
Measures to Use: There are three sediment retention measures in this section. The first two, sediment traps and ponds, serve the same function but for different size catchments. All runoff from disturbed areas
must be routed through a trap or pond except for very small areas at the perimeter of the site small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). The third measure is for catch basin
protection. It is only to be used in limited circumstances and is not a primary sediment treatment facility. It is only intended as a backup in the event of failure of other onsite systems.
Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities: All projects that are constructing permanent facilities for runoff quantity control are strongly encouraged to use the rough-graded or final-graded permanent facilities for
ponds and traps. This includes combined facilities and infiltration facilities. When permanent facilities are used as temporary sedimentation facilities, the surface area requirements of sediment traps (for drainages
less than 3 acres) or sediment ponds (more than 3 acres) must be met. If the surface area requirements are larger than the surface area of the permanent facility, then the 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. Either a permanent control structure or the temporary control structure described in Section
D.2.1.5.2 may 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.
If infiltration facilities are to be used, the sides and bottom of the facility must only be rough excavated to a minimum of three feet above final grade. Excavation should be done with a backhoe working at “arm’s
length” to minimize disturbance and compaction of the infiltration surface. Additionally, any required pretreatment facilities shall be fully constructed prior to any release of sediment-laden water to the facility.
Pretreatment and shallow excavation are intended to prevent the clogging of soil with fines. Final grading of the infiltration facility shall occur only when all contributing drainage areas are fully stabilized (see
Section D.2.4.5).
Selection of the Design Storm: In most circumstances, the developed condition 2-year peak flow using
the approved model with 15-minute time steps is sufficient for calculating surface area for ponds and traps and for determining exemptions from the sediment retention and surface water collection requirements
(Sections D.2.1.5 and D.2.1.6, respectively). In some circumstances, however, the approved model 10-year 15-minute peak flow should be used. Examples of such circumstances include the following:
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-47
• Sites that are within ¼ mile of salmonid streams, wetlands, and designated sensitive lakes such as
Lake Sammamish
• Sites where significant clearing and grading is likely to occur during the wet season
• Sites with downstream erosion or sedimentation problems.
Natural Vegetation: Whenever possible, sediment-laden water shall be discharged into onsite, relatively
level, vegetated areas. This is the only way to effectively remove fine particles from runoff. This can be
particularly useful after initial treatment in a sediment retention facility. 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.
D.2.1.5.1 SEDIMENT TRAP
Code: ST Symbol:
Purpose
Sediment traps remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site. Sediment traps
are typically designed to only remove sediment as small as medium silt (0.02 mm). As a consequence,
they usually only result in a small reduction in turbidity.
Conditions of Use
A sediment trap shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3 acres or less.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.5.A for details.
2. If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they should be used for sediment retention
(see “Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities” in Section D.2.1.5).
3. To determine the 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 (cfs) from the contributing drainage area based on the developed
condition 2-year or 10-year peak discharge using the approved model with 15-minute
time steps as computed in the hydrologic analysis. The approved model 10-year
15-minute peak flow shall be used if the project size, expected timing and duration of
construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection, or if the
pond discharge path leaves the site (note provisions must made to prevent increases
in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff peaks discharging from the
project site during construction, see Section D.3.9, Flow Control). If no hydrologic
analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used (Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
Vs = The settling velocity (ft/sec) 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
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-48
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.
4. To aid in determining sediment depth, all traps shall have a staff gage with a prominent mark one foot
above the bottom of the trap.
Maintenance Standards
1. Sediment shall be removed from the trap when it reaches 1 foot in depth.
2. Any damage to the trap embankments or slopes shall be repaired.

D.2.1.5.2 SEDIMENT POND
Code: SP Symbol:
Purpose
Sediment ponds remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site. Sediment ponds
are typically designed to only remove sediment as small as medium silt (0.02 mm). As a consequence,
they usually reduce turbidity only slightly.
Conditions of Use
A sediment pond shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3 acres or more.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.5.B, Figure D.2.1.5.C, and Figure D.2.1.5.D for details.
2. If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they should be used for sediment retention
(see “Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities” in Section D.2.1.5).
Determining Pond Geometry
1. Obtain the discharge from the hydrologic calculations for the 2-year and 10-year peak flows using the
approved model with 15-minute time steps (Q2 and Q10). The approved model 10-year 15-minute peak
flow shall be used if the project size, expected timing and duration of construction, or downstream
conditions warrant a higher level of protection, or if the pond discharge path leaves the site (note
provisions must made to prevent increases in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff
peaks discharging from the project site during construction, see Section D.3.9, Flow Control). If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used (Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
2. Determine the required surface area at the top of the riser pipe with the equation:
SA = 2 x Q10/0.00096 or 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
See Section D.2.1.5.1 for more information on the derivation of the surface area calculation.
3. 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 3:1 interior side slopes and maximum 2:1 exterior slopes. The interior slopes may be increased to a maximum of 2:1 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 one foot deep spillway
• Length-to-width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1.
Sizing of Discharge Mechanisms
Principal Spillway: Determine the required diameter for the principal spillway (riser pipe). The diameter
shall be the minimum necessary to pass the developed condition 10-year peak flow using the approved
model with 15-minute time steps (Q10). Use Figure 5.1.4.H (SWDM Chapter 5) to determine this diameter
(h = one 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 condition 100-year approved model 15-minute peak flow using the procedure
in Section 5.1.1 (“Emergency Overflow Spillway” subsection) of the SWDM.

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.

2. Convert the required surface area to the required diameter D (inches) of the orifice:
ooAADx54.13x24==π
3. 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 flow rate should be controlled by the orifice.
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 (see Section D.2.1.3.1) supported by treated 4″ x 4″s may 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 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 under
“Embankments” in Section 5.1.1 of the Surface Water Design Manual.
Maintenance Standards
1. Sediment shall be removed from the pond when it reaches 1 foot in depth.
2. Any damage to the pond embankments or slopes shall be repaired.

D.2.1.5.3 STORM DRAIN INLET PROTECTION
Code: FFP or CBI or CBP Symbol: or or
Purpose
Storm drain inlets are protected to prevent coarse sediment from entering storm drainage systems.
Temporary devices around storm drains assist in improving the quality of water discharged to inlets or
catch basins by ponding sediment-laden water. These devices are effective only for relatively small
drainage areas.
Conditions of Use
1. Protection shall be provided for all storm drain inlets downslope and within 500 feet of a disturbed or
construction area, unless the runoff that enters the catch basin will be conveyed to a sediment pond or
trap.
2. Inlet protection may be used anywhere at the applicant’s discretion to protect the drainage system.
This will, however, require more maintenance, and it is highly likely that the drainage system will still
require some cleaning.
3. The contributing drainage area must not be larger than one acre.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. There are many options for protecting storm drain inlets. Two commonly used options are filter
fabric protection and catch basin inserts. Filter fabric protection (see Figure D.2.1.5.E) is filter fabric
(geotextile) placed over the grate. This method is generally very ineffective and requires intense
maintenance efforts. Catch basin inserts (see Figure D.2.1.5.F) are manufactured devices that nest
inside a catch basin. This method also requires a high frequency of maintenance to be effective. Both
options provide adequate protection, but filter fabric is likely to result in ponding of water above the
3.5' MIN.

catch basin, while the insert will not. Thus, filter fabric is only allowed where ponding will not be a traffic concern and where slope erosion will not result if the curb is overtopped by ponded water.
Trapping sediment in the catch basins is unlikely to improve the water quality of runoff if it is treated in a pond or trap because the coarse particles that are trapped at the catch basin settle out very quickly
in the pond or trap. Catch basin protection normally only improves water quality where there is no treatment facility downstream. In these circumstances, catch basin protection is an important last
line of defense. It is not, however, a substitute for preventing erosion.
The placement of filter fabric under grates is generally prohibited and the use of filter fabric over
grates is strictly limited and discouraged.
2. It is sometimes possible to construct a small sump around the catch basin before final surfacing of the road. This is allowed because it can be a very effective method of sediment control.
3. Block and gravel filters, gravel and wire mesh filter barriers, and bag barriers filled with various filtering media placed around catch basins can be effective when the drainage area is 1 acre or less and flows do not exceed 0.5 cfs. It is necessary to allow for overtopping to prevent flooding. Many manufacturers have various inlet protection filters that are very effective in keeping sediment-laden water from entering the storm drainage system. The following are examples of a few common methods.
a) Block and gravel filters (Figure D.2.1.5.G) are a barrier formed around an inlet with standard
concrete block and gravel, installed as follows:
• Height is 1 to 2 feet above the inlet.
• Recess the first row of blocks 2 inches into the ground for stability.
• Support subsequent rows by placing a 2x4 through the concrete block opening.
• Do not use mortar.
• Lay some blocks in the bottom row on their side for dewatering the pooled water.
• Place cloth or mesh with ½ inch openings over all block openings.
• Place gravel below the top of blocks on slopes of 2:1 or flatter.
• An alternate design is a gravel donut.
b) Gravel and wire mesh filters consist of a gravel barrier placed over the top of an inlet. This structure generally does not provide overflow. Install as follows:
• Cloth or comparable wire mesh with ½ inch openings is placed over inlet.
• Coarse aggregate covers the cloth or mesh.
• Height/depth of gravel should be 1 foot or more, 18 inches wider than inlet on all sides.
c) Curb inlet protection with a wooden weir is a barrier formed around an inlet with a wooden
frame and gravel, installed as follows:
• Construct a frame and attach wire mesh (½ inch openings) and filter fabric to the frame.
• Pile coarse washed aggregate against the wire/fabric.
• Place weight on frame anchors.
d) Curb and gutter sediment barriers (Figure D.2.1.5.H) consist of sandbags or rock berms (riprap
and aggregate) 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in a horseshoe shape, installed as follows:
• Bags of either burlap or woven geotextile fabric, filled with a variety of media such as gravel, wood chips, compost or sand stacked tightly allows water to pond and allows sediment to separate from runoff.
• Leave a “one bag gap” in the top row of the barrier to provide a spillway for overflow.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-54
• Construct a horseshoe shaped berm, faced with coarse aggregate if using riprap, 3 x 3 and at
least 2 feet from the inlet.
• Construct a horseshoe shaped sedimentation trap on the outside of the berm to sediment trap standards for protecting a culvert inlet.
4. Excavated drop inlet sediment traps are appropriate where relatively heavy flows are expected and
overflow capability is needed. If emergency overflow is provided, additional end-of-pipe treatment
may be required. Excavated drop inlets consist of an excavated impoundment area around a storm
drain. Sediment settles out of the stormwater prior to enter the drain. Install according to the following
specifications:
a) The impoundment area should have a depth of 1 to 2 feet measured from the crest of the inlet
structure.
b) Side slopes of the excavated area must be no steeper than 2:1.
c) Minimum volume of the excavated area should be 35 cubic yards.
d) Install provisions for draining the area to prevent standing water problems.
e) Keep the area clear of debris.
f) Weep holes may be drilled into the side of the inlet.
g) Protect weep holes with wire mesh and washed aggregate.
h) Weep holes must be sealed when removing and stabilizing excavated area.
i) A temporary dike may be necessary on the down slope side of the structure to prevent bypass
flow.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any accumulated sediment on or around inlet protection shall be removed immediately. Sediment
shall not be removed with water, and all sediment must be disposed of as fill on site or hauled off site.
2. Any sediment in the catch basin insert shall be removed when the sediment has filled one-third of the
available storage. The filter media for the insert shall be cleaned or replaced at least monthly.
3. Regular maintenance is critical for all forms of catch basin/inlet protection. Unlike many forms of
protection that fail gradually, catch basin protection will fail suddenly and completely if not
maintained properly.

D.2.1.6 SURFACE WATER COLLECTION
All surface water from disturbed areas shall be intercepted, conveyed to a sediment pond or trap, and discharged downslope of any disturbed areas. An exception is for areas at the perimeter of the site with
drainage areas small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). Also, if the soils and topography are such that no offsite discharge of surface water is anticipated up to and
including the developed 2-year runoff event, surface water controls are not required. A 10-year approved model 15-minute peak flow shall be used for sizing surface water controls if the project size, expected
timing and duration of construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection (see the introduction to Section D.2.1.5). At the City’s discretion, sites may be worked during the dry season
without surface water controls, if there is some other form of protection of surface waters, such as a 100-foot forested buffer between the disturbed areas and adjacent surface waters. Significant sources of
upslope surface water that drain onto disturbed areas shall be intercepted and conveyed to a stabilized discharge point downslope of the disturbed areas. Surface water controls shall be installed concurrently
with rough grading.
Purpose: The purpose of surface water control is to collect and convey surface water so that erosion is
minimized, and runoff from disturbed areas is treated by a sediment pond or trap. Surface water control essentially consists of three elements:
1. Interception of runoff on and above slopes
2. Conveyance of the runoff to a sediment pond or trap (if the runoff was collected from a disturbed
area)
3. Release of the runoff downslope of any disturbed areas.
When to Install: Surface water controls shall be constructed during the initial grading of an area and must be in place before there is any opportunity for storm runoff to cause erosion.
Measures to Install: Interceptor dikes/swales intercept runoff, ditches and pipe slope drains convey the runoff, and riprap or level spreaders help release the runoff in a non-erosive manner. Each measure is to be
used under different circumstances so there is very little overlap. However, the two options for releasing water in a non-erosive manner, outlet protection and level spreaders, can be somewhat interchangeable.
See Figure D.2.1.6.A for a schematic drawing demonstrating the use of these measures.

FIGURE D.2.1.6.A SKETCH PLAN OF SURFACE WATER CONTROLS
D.2.1.6.1 INTERCEPTOR DIKE AND SWALE
Code: ID or IS Symbol: or
Purpose
Interceptor dikes and swales intercept storm runoff from drainage areas on or above disturbed slopes and convey it to a sediment pond or trap. They may also be used to intercept runoff from undisturbed areas and convey the runoff to a point below any exposed soils. Interception of surface water reduces the possibility of slope erosion. Interceptor dikes and swales differ from ditches (see Section D.2.1.6.4) in that they are intended to convey smaller flows along low-gradient drainage ways to larger conveyance systems such as ditches or pipe slope drains.
Conditions of Use
Interceptor dikes and swales are required in the following situations:
1. At the top of all slopes in excess of 3H:1V and with more than 20 feet of vertical relief.
2. At intervals on any slope that exceeds the dimensions specified in this section for the horizontal spacing of dikes and swales.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.B for details of an interceptor dike and Figure D.2.1.6.C for an interceptor swale.
2. Interceptor dikes and swales shall be spaced horizontally as follows:
Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length
20H:1V or less 3–5% 300 feet
(10 to 20)H:1V 5–10% 200 feet
(4 to 10)H:1V 10–25% 100 feet

3. For slopes steeper than 2H:1V with more than 10 feet of vertical relief, benches may be constructed or closer spaced interceptor dikes or swales may be used. Whichever measure is chosen, the spacing
and capacity of the measures must be designed by the engineer and the design must include provisions
for effectively intercepting the high velocity runoff associated with steep slopes.
4. If the dike or swale intercepts runoff from disturbed areas, it shall discharge to a stable conveyance system that routes the runoff to a sediment pond or trap (see Section D.2.1.5). If the dike or swale
intercepts runoff that originates from undisturbed areas, it shall discharge to a stable conveyance system that routes the runoff downslope of any disturbed areas and releases the water at a stabilized
outlet.
5. Construction traffic over temporary dikes and swales shall be minimized.
Maintenance Standards
1. Damage resulting from runoff or construction activity shall be repaired immediately.
2. If the facilities do not regularly retain storm runoff, the capacity and/or frequency of the dikes/swales shall be increased.

D.2.1.6.2 PIPE SLOPE DRAINS
Code: PD Symbol:
Purpose
Pipe slope drains are designed to carry concentrated runoff down steep slopes without causing erosion, or
saturation of slide-prone soils. Pipe slope drains may be used to divert water 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 water down a steep slope to avoid erosion. Pipe slope drains may be:
1. Connected to new catch basins and used temporarily until all permanent piping is installed.
2. Used on any slope with a gradient of 2H:1V or greater and with at least 10 feet of vertical relief.
3. Used to drain water collected from aquifers exposed on cut slopes and convey it to the base of the
slope.
4. Used to collect clean runoff from plastic sheet cover and direct away from any exposed soils.
5. Installed in conjunction with silt fence to drain collected water to a controlled area.
6. Used to divert small seasonal streams away from construction. Pipe slope drains have been used
successfully on culvert replacement and extension projects. Large flex pipe may be used on larger
streams during culvert removal, repair, or replacement.
7. Connected to existing downspouts and roof drains used to divert water away from work areas during
building renovation, demolition, and construction projects.
8. Rock-lined ditches or other permanent, non-erosive conveyances used to convey runoff down steep
slopes that are not steep slope hazard areas.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.D for details.
2. The capacity for temporary drains shall be sufficient to handle the developed 10-year peak flow using
the approved model with 15-minute time steps. Up to 30,000 square feet may be drained by each
6-inch minimum diameter pipe without computation of the peak flow. Up to 2 acres may be drained
by each 12-inch minimum diameter pipe. Otherwise, the peak flow will need to be computed using the
Rational Method described in Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM.
3. The maximum drainage area allowed for any sized pipe is 10 acres. For larger areas, more than one
pipe shall be used or a rock-lined channel shall be installed (see SWDM Section 4.4.1, “Open
Channels”).
4. The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be thoroughly compacted.
5. The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain and be fused or welded, or have
flange-bolted mechanical joints to ensure a watertight seal. Ensure that the entrance area is stable and
large enough to direct flow into the pipe.
6. Slope drains shall be continuously fused, welded, or flange-bolted mechanical joint pipe systems with
proper anchoring to the soil.
7. Where slope drains cross steep slope hazard areas or their associated buffers, the installation shall be
on the ground surface, accomplished with minimum alteration. In most circumstances, this requires
that slope drains be constructed of corrugated metal, CPE, or equivalent pipe and installed by hand
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-62
(see SWDM Section 4.2.1). Any area disturbed during installation or maintenance must be immediately stabilized.
8. If the pipe slope drain will convey sediment-laden runoff, the runoff must be directed to a sediment
retention facility (see Section D.2.1.5). If the runoff is not from a disturbed area or is conveyed from a
sediment trap or pond, it must be conveyed to a stabilized discharge point (see Section D.2.1.6.5).
9. Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by the installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. The inlet shall not be undercut or bypassed by water. If there are problems, the head wall shall be
appropriately reinforced.
2. No erosion shall occur at the outlet point. If erosion occurs, additional protection shall be added.
FIGURE D.2.1.6.D PIPE SLOPE DRAIN
D.2.1.6.3 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 and 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 that may govern the use of subsurface drains.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Two types of drains may be used as follows:
a) 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. They are installed along a slope and drain in the direction of the slope. They may be installed in a grid pattern, a herringbone pattern, or a random pattern.
b) Interceptor drains are used to remove excess groundwater from a slope, stabilize steep slopes, and lower the water table below a slope to prevent the soil from becoming saturated. They are

installed perpendicular to a slope and drain to the side of the slope. They usually consist of a single pipe or single pipes instead of a patterned layout.
2. Size of Drains – Size subsurface drains to carry the required capacity without pressurized flow.
Minimum diameter for a subsurface drain is 4 inches.
3. Outlet – Ensure that the outlet of a drain empties into a channel or other watercourse above the
normal water level.
Maintenance Standards
1. Subsurface drains shall be checked periodically to ensure that they are free flowing and not clogged with sediment or roots.
2. The outlet shall be kept clear and free of debris.
3. Surface inlets shall be kept open and free of sediment and other debris.
4. Trees located too close to a subsurface drain often clog the system with 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.
5. Where drains are crossed by heavy equipment, the line shall be checked to ensure that it is not crushed and have adequate cover protection.
D.2.1.6.4 DITCHES
Code: DI Symbol:
Purpose
Ditches convey intercepted runoff from disturbed areas to and from sediment ponds or traps. They also
convey runoff intercepted from undisturbed areas around the site to a non-erosive discharge point.
Conditions of Use
Ditches may be used anywhere that concentrated runoff is to be conveyed on or around the construction site. Temporary pipe systems may also be used to convey runoff.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Channels and ditches shall be sized to accommodate the developed condition 10-year approved model 15-minute peak flow with 0.5 feet of freeboard. If no hydrologic analysis is required for the site, the Rational Method may be used (see Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
2. See SWDM Section 4.4.1 for open-channel design requirements.
3. The only exception to the requirements of SWDM Section 4.4.1 is the use of check dams, rather than grass lining, for channels in which the design flow velocity does not exceed 5 fps. See Figure D.2.1.6.E for details on check dam installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any sediment deposition of more than 0.5 feet shall be removed so that the channel is restored to its design capacity.
2. If the channel capacity is insufficient for the design flow, it must be determined whether the problem is local (e.g., a constriction or bend) or the channel is under-designed. If the problem is local, the channel capacity must be increased through construction of a berm(s) or by excavation. If the problem
is under-design, the design engineer shall be notified and the channel redesigned to a more
conservative standard to be approved by the City of Renton.
3. The channel shall be examined for signs of scouring and erosion of the bed and banks. If scouring or
erosion has occurred, affected areas shall be protected by riprap or an erosion control blanket or net.

Purpose
Outlet protection prevents scour at conveyance outlets.
Conditions of Use
Outlet protection is required at the outlets of all ponds, pipes, ditches, or other approved conveyances, and
where runoff is conveyed to a natural or manmade drainage feature such as a stream, wetland, lake, or

D.2.1.6.6 LEVEL SPREADER
Code: LS Symbol:
Purpose
Level spreaders convert concentrated runoff to sheet flow and release it onto areas stabilized by existing
vegetation.
Conditions of Use
Level spreaders may be used where runoff from undisturbed areas or sediment retention facilities is
discharged. This practice applies only where the spreader can be constructed on undisturbed soil and the
area below the level lip is vegetated and low gradient (see below).
Note: Level spreaders are conceptually an ideal way to release stormwater since the vegetation and soil allow for the removal of fines from runoff that cannot be removed by settling or filtration. Unfortunately,
the performance record of spreaders in the field is dismal. They are frequently under-designed and,
despite the best installations, are rarely perfectly level, which results in the release of stormwater at a
particular point. This concentrated runoff can result in catastrophic erosion downslope. Given such
design failures, the use of spreaders is not encouraged. However, where slopes are gentle and the water
volume is relatively low, spreaders may still be the best method. When proposing their use, the designer shall carefully evaluate the site for possible concerns.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.F for detail. Other designs may be used subject to City approval.
2. If runoff velocity as it enters the level spreader is more than 4 fps for the developed condition 10-year
approved model 15-minute peak flow, a riprap apron must be provided to dissipate energy before the
runoff enters the spreader (Section D.2.1.6.5).
3. The total spreader length shall be at least the square root of the catchment area. The maximum
length for an individual spreader is 50 feet, limiting the catchment area that a single spreader may
serve to 2500 square feet. Although this is very small, four 50-foot level spreaders next to one another
could serve nearly an acre (40,000 square feet). Multiple spreaders shall not be placed uphill or
downhill from one another in a configuration that would allow water released from one spreader to
enter a downslope spreader.
4. The area below the spreader for a horizontal distance of 100 feet shall not exceed 20 percent and shall
be completely vegetated with no areas of instability or erosion. The topography for a horizontal
distance of 50 feet below the spreader shall be uniform so that runoff is not funneled into a swale or
channel immediately after its release.
5. The level spreader shall be seeded and mulched in accordance with Section D.2.1.2.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any damage to the spreader shall be immediately repaired. Ensure flows do not bypass the spreader at
the ends of the spreader.
2. The downslope area shall be checked for signs of erosion and to verify that the spreader is not
functioning as a point discharge. Any eroded areas shall be immediately stabilized, and the cause
determined and eliminated if possible. If the erosion is recurrent and the design, even when properly
installed and maintained, is not adequate to prevent erosion, a new method of releasing runoff shall be
installed in accordance with the standards of this appendix. Any new design must be approved by the
City of Renton.

D.2.1.7 DEWATERING CONTROL
Any runoff generated by dewatering shall be treated through construction of a sediment trap
(Section D.2.1.5.1) when there is sufficient space or by releasing the water to a well vegetated, gently
sloping area. Since pumps are used for dewatering, it may be possible to pump the sediment-laden water
well away from the surface water so that vegetation can be more effectively utilized for treatment.
Discharge of sediment-laden water from dewatering activities to surface and storm waters is prohibited. If
dewatering occurs from areas where the water has come in contact with new concrete, such as tanks,
vaults, or foundations, the pH of the water must be monitored and must be neutralized prior to discharge.
Clean non-turbid dewatering water, such as well point ground water can be discharged to systems tributary
to, or directly to surface waters provided the flows are controlled so no erosion or flooding occurs. Clean
water must not be routed through a stormwater sediment pond. Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering
water must be handled separately from stormwater.
Purpose: To prevent the untreated discharge of sediment-laden water from dewatering of utilities,
excavated areas, foundations, etc.
When to Install: Dewatering control measures shall be used whenever there is a potential for runoff from
dewatering of utilities, excavations, foundations, etc.
Measures to install:
1. Foundation, vault, excavation, and trench dewatering water that has similar characteristics to
stormwater runoff at the site shall be discharged into a controlled conveyance system prior to
discharge to a sediment trap or sediment pond. Foundation and trench dewatering water that has
similar characteristics to stormwater runoff at the site must be disposed of through one of the
following options depending on site constraints:
a) Infiltration,
b) Transport offsite in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a manner that
does not pollute surface waters,

d) Use of a sedimentation bag with outfall to a ditch or swale for small volumes of localized
dewatering.
2. Clean, non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-point ground water, may be discharged via stable conveyance to systems tributary to surface waters, provided the dewatering flow does not cause
erosion or flooding of receiving waters.
3. Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water (high pH or other) shall be handled separately
from stormwater. See Section D.2.2 , SWPPS Measures.
D.2.1.8 DUST CONTROL
Preventative measures to minimize the wind transport of soil shall be taken when a traffic hazard may be
created or when sediment transported by wind is likely to be deposited in water resources or adjacent properties.
Purpose: To prevent wind transport of dust from exposed soil surfaces onto roadways, drainage ways, and surface waters.
When to Install: Dust control shall be implemented when exposed soils are dry to the point that wind transport is possible and roadways, drainage ways, or surface waters are likely to be impacted. Dust
control measures may consist of chemical, structural, or mechanical methods.
Measures to Install: Water is the most common dust control (or palliative) used in the area. When using
water for dust control, the exposed soils shall be sprayed until wet, but runoff shall not be generated by spraying. Calcium chloride, Magnesium chloride, Lignin derivatives, Tree Resin Emulsions, and Synthetic
Polymer Emulsions may also be used for dust control. Exposed areas shall be re-sprayed as needed. Oil shall not be used for dust control. The following table lists many common dust control measures. Some of
the measures are not recommended for use in the City and must have prior approval prior to use from the CED inspector assigned to specific projects.

D.2.1.9 FLOW CONTROL
Surface water from disturbed areas must be routed through the project’s onsite flow control facility or
other provisions must made to prevent increases in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff
peaks discharging from the project site during construction.
Purpose: The purpose of surface water flow control is to mitigate increases in runoff peaks that occur
during construction as a result of clearing vegetation, compacting the soil, and adding impervious surface.
Such increases can cause or aggravate downstream flooding and erosion.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-69
When to Install: Surface water flow control shall be installed or otherwise provided prior to any clearing and/or grading of the site, except that required to construct the surface water flow control facilities.
Measures to Use: The project’s onsite flow control facility or other equivalent storage facility that meets
the peak-matching performance criteria stated above.
D.2.1.10 PROTECT EXISTING AND PROPOSED STORMWATER FACILITIES AND ON-SITE BMPS
Protection measures shall be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent adverse impacts to existing
stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and areas of proposed stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs for
the project. Adverse impacts can prompt the requirement to restore or replace affected stormwater
facilities and on-site BMPs.
Purpose: The purpose of protecting existing and proposed stormwater facility and on-site BMP areas is to
avoid sedimentation and soil compaction that would adversely affect infiltration, and also avoid
contamination by other pollutants.
When to Install: Stormwater facility and on-site BMP area protection shall be installed or otherwise
provided prior to any clearing and/or grading of the site, except that required to construct stormwater
facilities and on-site BMPs.
Measures to Use:
1. Protect all stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and proposed stormwater facility and on-site BMP
footprints from sedimentation through installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control
BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the BMPs/facilities.
2. Stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs shall be restored to their fully functioning condition if they
accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring the stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs shall include, at a minimum, removal of sediment and any sediment-laden bioretention soils, and replacing
the removed soils with soils meeting the design specification. Replacement with a new fully-
functioning stormwater facility and/or on-site BMP may be required if restoration to the fully-
functioning condition can’t be accomplished.
3. Prevent compacting Bioretention BMPs/facilities by excluding construction equipment and foot
traffic. Protect completed lawn and landscaped areas from compaction due to construction equipment.
4. Control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from surrounding land uses onto permeable pavement
BMPs. Do not allow muddy construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not allow
sediment-laden runoff onto permeable pavements.
5. Permeable pavement BMPs fouled with sediments or no longer passing an initial infiltration text must
be cleaned using procedures from Appendix A or the manufacturer’s procedures.
6. Keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs that have been excavated to final grade to retain the infiltration rate of the soils.
D.2.1.11 MAINTAIN PROTECTIVE BMPS
Protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended function, to
prevent adverse impacts to existing stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and areas of proposed
BMPs/facilities, and protect other disturbed areas of the project.
Purpose: The purpose of maintaining protective BMPs is to provide continuous erosion and sediment
control protection throughout the life of the project, and avoid sedimentation, soil compaction and
contamination by other pollutants that would adversely affect infiltration and surface runoff.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-70
When to Maintain: Protection measures shall be monitored per Section D.2.4.4 at a minimum, and promptly maintained to fully functioning condition as necessary to ensure continued performance of their intended function.
Measures to Use:
1. Maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs as needed to
ensure continued performance of their intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
2. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs prior to final construction approval, or
within 30 days after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer
needed.
3. Provide protection to all stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs installed for the permanent control of stormwater from sediment and compaction. All stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs that are to remain in place following completion of construction shall be examined and placed in full operating conditions. If sediment enters the stormwater facilities and/or on-site BMPs during construction, it shall be removed and the stormwater facility and on-site BMP shall be returned to the conditions specified in the construction documents or as required for full stormwater facility and on-site BMP replacement.
4. Remove or stabilize trapped sediment on site. Permanently stabilize disturbed soil resulting from removal of erosion and sediment control BMPs or vegetation.
D.2.1.12 MANAGE THE PROJECT
Coordination and timing of site development activities relative to ESC concerns (Section D.2.4), and timely inspection, maintenance and update of protective measures (Section D.2.3) are necessary to effectively manage the project and ensure the success of protective ESC and SWPPS design and implementation.
Projects shall assign a qualified CSWPP Supervisor (Section D.2.3.1) to be the primary contact for ESC and SWPPP issues and reporting, coordination with subcontractors and implementation of the CSWPP plan as a whole.
Measures to Use:
1. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work limits.
2. Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function. Conduct site inspections and monitoring in accordance with the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements.
3. Maintaining an updated construction SWPPP – Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP in accordance with the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements.
4. Projects that disturb one or more acres must have, site inspections conducted by a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) (see Section D.2.3.1). Project sites less than one acre (not part of a larger common plan of development or sale) may have a person without CESCL certification conduct inspections. By the initiation of construction, the SWPPP must identify the CESCL or inspector, who shall be present onsite or on-call at all times.
The CESCL or inspector (project sites less than one acre) must have the skills to assess the:
• Site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of stormwater.
• Effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the quality of stormwater
discharges.
• The CESCL or inspector must examine stormwater visually for the presence of suspended sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen. They must evaluate the effectiveness of BMPs
and determine if it is necessary to install, maintain, or repair BMPs to improve the quality of
stormwater discharges.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-71
Based on the results of the inspection, construction site operators must correct the problems identified by:
• Reviewing the SWPPP for compliance with all construction SWPPP elements and making
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection.
• Immediately beginning the process of fully implementing and maintaining appropriate source control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the problems not later than within 10 days of the inspection. If installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, the construction site operator may request an extension within the initial 10-day response
period.
• Documenting BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book (applies only to sites
that have coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit).
• 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 day do not require daily inspections. For example, if a stormwater pond discharges
continuously over the course of a week, only one inspection is required that week.) The CESCL
or inspector may reduce the inspection frequency for temporary stabilized, inactive sites to once
every calendar month.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
This section details the SWPPS measures that are required to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or watercourses from construction-related activities such as materials delivery and storage, onsite equipment fueling and maintenance, demolition of existing buildings and disposition of demolition materials and other waste, and concrete handling, washout and
disposal. These SWPPS measures represent Best Management Practices (BMPs)8 for the control of
pollutant drips and spills as well as other impacts related to construction such as increased pH in concrete construction and handling activities. Compliance with each of the SWPPS measures, and with any project-specific control measures, to the extent applicable and necessary to meet the performance criteria in Section D.2.2, and compliance with the CSWPP implementation requirements in Section D.2.4, constitutes
overall compliance with the City’s CSWPP Standards.
Note: Additional measures shall be required by the City if the existing standards are insufficient to protect adjacent properties, drainage facilities, or water resources.
The standards for each individual SWPPS measure are divided into four sections:
1. Purpose
2. Conditions of Use
3. Design and Installation Specifications
4. Maintenance Requirements.
Note that the “Conditions of Use” always refers to site conditions. As site conditions change, SWPPS measures must be changed to remain in compliance with the requirements of this appendix.
Whenever compliance with City SWPPS Standards is required, all of the following SWPPS measures must be considered for application to the project site as detailed in the following sections. The construction pollutant generating concerns addressed by the BMPs that follow include:
• Concrete handling, washout and disposal(specifically portland cement concrete)
• Sawcutting and surfacing activities
• Materials delivery, storage and containment
8 Best Management Practices (BMPs) means the best available and reasonable physical, structural, managerial, or behavioral activities, that when singly or in combination, eliminate or reduce the contamination of surface and/or ground waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-72
• Filtration and chemical treatment of construction water to facilitate disposal or discharge to approved locations
• Reporting requirements and documentation availability for specific BMP processes
Additionally, several of the ESC BMPs described in Section D.2.1 can be applicable to the SWPPS plan, e.g., use of cover, fencing and access protection to protect temporary materials storage locations. The applicant’s material supplier may be a resource (subject to City approval) for BMPs to address specific project applications or proposals. Conditions of approval on adjustments may also specify additional requirements for the SWPPS plan.
D.2.2.1 CONCRETE HANDLING
Purpose
Concrete work can generate process water and slurry that contain fine particles and high pH, both of which can violate 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 concrete, concrete process water, and concrete slurry from entering waters of the state.
Conditions of Use
Any time concrete is used, utilize these management practices. Concrete construction projects include, but are not limited to, curbs, sidewalks, roads, bridges, foundations, floors, stormwater vaults, retaining walls, driveways and runways.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Ensure that washout of concrete trucks, chutes, pumps, and internals is performed at an approved off-
site location or in designated concrete washout areas. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams. Refer to BMP D.2.2.2 for information on concrete washout areas.
2. Return unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump to the originating batch plant for recycling. Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated concrete washout areas.
3. Wash off hand tools including, but not limited to, screeds, shovels, rakes, floats, and trowels into formed areas only.
4. Wash equipment difficult to move, such as concrete pavers in areas that do not directly drain to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances.
5. Do not allow washdown from areas, such as concrete aggregate driveways, to drain directly to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances.
6. Contain washwater and leftover product in a lined container when no formed areas are available,. Dispose of contained concrete in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface water quality standards.
7. Always use forms or solid barriers for concrete pours, such as pilings, within 15-feet of surface waters.
8. Refer to BMPs D.2.2.7 and D.2.2.8 for pH adjustment requirements.
9. Refer to the Construction Stormwater General Permit for pH monitoring requirements if the project
involves one of the following activities:
• Significant concrete work (greater than 1,000 cubic yards poured concrete or recycled concrete used over the life of a project).
• The use of engineered soils amended with (but not limited to) Portland cement-treated base, cement kiln dust or fly ash.
• Discharging stormwater to segments of water bodies on the 303(d) list (Category 5) for high pH.
Maintenance Standards
Check containers for holes in the liner daily during concrete pours and repair the same day.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-73
D.2.2.2 CONCRETE WASHOUT AREA
Purpose
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from concrete waste by conducting washout
off-site, or performing onsite 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 onsite.
Note: If less than 10 concrete trucks or pumpers need to be washed out onsite, 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:
1. Perform washout of concrete trucks at an approved off-site location or in designated concrete washout areas only.
2. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams.
3. Do not allow excess concrete to be dumped onsite, except in designated concrete washout areas.
4. Concrete washout areas may be prefabricated concrete washout containers, or self-installed structures
(above-grade or below-grade).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Self-installed above-grade structures should only be used if excavation is not practical.
Education
1. Discuss the concrete management techniques described in this BMP with the ready-mix concrete supplier before any deliveries are made.
2. Educate employees and subcontractors on the concrete waste management techniques described in this BMP.
3. Arrange for contractor’s superintendent or Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) to oversee and enforce concrete waste management procedures.
4. 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.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-74
Location and Placement
1. Locate washout area at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies, including wetlands.
2. Allow convenient access for concrete trucks, preferably near the area where the concrete is being poured.
3. If trucks need to leave a paved area to access washout, prevent track-out with a pad of rock or quarry
spalls (see BMP D.2.1.4.2). These areas should be far enough away from other construction traffic to
reduce the likelihood of accidental damage and spills.
4. The number of facilities you install should depend on the expected demand for storage capacity.
5. 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:
1. Temporary concrete washout facilities shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from sensitive areas including storm drain inlets, open drainage facilities, and watercourses. (See Figures D.2.2.2.A,
D.2.2.2.B, and D.2.2.2.C).
2. Concrete washout facilities shall be constructed and maintained in sufficient quantity and size to
contain all liquid and concrete waste generated by washout operations.
3. Washout of concrete trucks shall be performed in designated areas only.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Temporary Above-Grade Concrete Washout Facility
a) 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.
b) 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.
7. Temporary Below-Grade Concrete Washout Facility
a) 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.
b) Lath and flagging should be commercial type.
c) 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.

D.2.2.3 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 operations take place. Sawcutting and
surfacing operations include, but are not limited to, sawing, coring, grinding, roughening, hydro-demolition, bridge and road surfacing
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Vacuum slurry and cuttings during cutting and surfacing operations.
2. Slurry and cuttings shall not remain on permanent concrete or asphalt pavement overnight.
3. Slurry and cuttings shall not drain to any natural or constructed drainage conveyance including
stormwater systems. This may require temporarily blocking catch basins.
4. Dispose of collected slurry and cuttings in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface
water quality standards.
5. Do not allow process water generated during hydro-demolition, surface roughening or similar
operations to drain to any natural or constructed drainage conveyance including stormwater systems. Dispose process water in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface water quality
standards.
6. Handle and dispose cleaning waste material and demolition debris in a manner that does not cause
contamination of water. Dispose of sweeping material from a pick-up sweeper at an appropriate disposal site.
Maintenance Standards
Continually monitor operations to determine whether slurry, cuttings, or process water could enter waters
of the state. If inspections show that a violation of water quality standards could occur, stop operations and immediately implement preventive measures such as berms, barriers, secondary containment, and vacuum
trucks.
D.2.2.4 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 onsite, 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
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-79
• 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:
1. Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic, near the construction
entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm drains.
2. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all materials stored. Chemicals should be
kept in their original labeled containers.
3. Hazardous material storage onsite should be minimized.
4. Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible.
5. During the wet weather season (October 1 – April 30), consider storing materials in a covered area.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
Material Storage Areas and Secondary Containment Practices:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Secondary containment facilities shall be impervious to the materials stored therein for a minimum
contact time of 72 hours.
4. 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.
5. Sufficient separation should be provided between stored containers to allow for spill cleanup and
emergency response access.
6. During the wet weather season (October 1 – April 30), each secondary containment facility shall be
covered during non-working days, prior to and during rain events.
7. Keep material storage areas clean, organized and equipped with an ample supply of appropriate spill
clean-up material (spill kit).
8. 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″ x 19″

D.2.2.5 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 City also requires review and approval. When approved, the chemical treatment systems
must be included in the SWPPS portion of the project’s CSWPP.
Design and Installation Specifications
Coagulation and flocculation have been used for over a century to treat water. It is used less frequently for
the treatment of wastewater. The use of coagulation and flocculation for treating stormwater is a very
recent application. Experience with the treatment of water and wastewater has resulted in a basic
understanding of the process, in particular factors that affect performance. This experience can provide
insights as to how to most effectively design and operate similar systems in the treatment of stormwater.
Fine particles suspended in water give it a milky appearance, measured as turbidity. Their small size, often
much less than 1 μm in diameter, give them a very large surface area relative to their volume. These fine
particles typically carry a negative surface charge. Largely because of these two factors, small size and
negative charge, these particles tend to stay in suspension for extended periods of time. Thus, removal is
not practical by gravity settling. These are called stable suspensions. Polymers, as well as inorganic
chemicals such as alum, speed the process of clarification. The added chemical destabilizes the suspension
and causes the smaller particles to agglomerate. The process consists of three steps: coagulation,
flocculation, and settling or clarification. Each step is explained below as well as the factors that affect the
efficiency of the process.
Coagulation: Coagulation is the first step. It is the process by which negative charges on the fine particles
that prevent their agglomeration are disrupted. Chemical addition is one method of destabilizing the
suspension, and polymers are one class of chemicals that are generally effective. Chemicals that are used
for this purpose are called coagulants. Coagulation is complete when the suspension is destabilized by the
neutralization of the negative charges. Coagulants perform best when they are thoroughly and evenly
dispersed under relatively intense mixing. This rapid mixing involves adding the coagulant in a manner
that promotes rapid dispersion, followed by a short time period for destabilization of the particle
suspension. The particles are still very small and are not readily separated by clarification until
flocculation occurs.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-81
Flocculation: Flocculation is the process by which fine particles that have been destabilized bind together to form larger particles that settle rapidly. Flocculation begins naturally following coagulation, but is
enhanced by gentle mixing of the destabilized suspension. Gentle mixing helps to bring particles in contact
with one another such that they bind and continually grow to form “flocs.” As the size of the flocs
increases they become heavier and tend to settle more rapidly.
Clarification: The final step is the settling of the particles. Particle density, size and shape are important
during settling. Dense, compact flocs settle more readily than less dense, fluffy flocs. Because of this, flocculation to form dense, compact flocs is particularly important during water treatment. Water
temperature is important during settling. Both the density and viscosity of water are affected by
temperature; these in turn affect settling. Cold temperatures increase viscosity and density, thus slowing
down the rate at which the particles settle.
The conditions under which clarification is achieved can affect performance. Currents can affect settling.
Currents can be produced by wind, by differences between the temperature of the incoming water and the water in the clarifier, and by flow conditions near the inlets and outlets.
Quiescent water such as that which occurs during batch clarification provides a good environment for
effective performance as many of these factors become less important in comparison to typical
sedimentation basins. One source of currents that is likely important in batch systems is movement of the water leaving the clarifier unit. Given that flocs are relatively small and light the exit velocity of the water
must be as low as possible. Sediment on the bottom of the basin can be resuspended and removed by fairly modest velocities.
Coagulants: Polymers are large organic molecules that are made up of subunits linked together in a chain-
like structure. Attached to these chain-like structures are other groups that carry positive or negative
charges, or have no charge. Polymers that carry groups with positive charges are called cationic, those with negative charges are called anionic, and those with no charge (neutral) are called nonionic.
Cationic polymers can be used as coagulants to destabilize negatively charged turbidity particles present in natural waters, wastewater and stormwater. Aluminum sulfate (alum) can also be used as this chemical
becomes positively charged when dispersed in water. In practice, the only way to determine whether a
polymer is effective for a specific application is to perform preliminary or onsite testing.
Polymers are available as powders, concentrated liquids, and emulsions (which appear as milky liquids). The latter are petroleum based, which are not allowed for construction stormwater treatment. Polymer
effectiveness can degrade with time and also from other influences. Thus, manufacturers’ recommendations for storage should be followed. Manufacturer’s recommendations usually do not provide
assurance of water quality protection or safety to aquatic organisms. Consideration of water quality
protection is necessary in the selection and use of all polymers.
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.html>.
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
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-82
• 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.
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 (dependent 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 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.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-83
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 Flow-Through 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.
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
Chapter 3 of the SWDM. 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 direct discharge exempt receiving water in Section 1.2.3 (Core
Requirement #3) of the SWDM, 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 direct discharge
exempt receiving waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-84
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 to 8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic 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 Chapter 3 of the SWDM. 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.
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.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-85
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 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.
Maintenance Standards
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.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-86
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 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.
D.2.2.6 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 D.2.2.5.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-87
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 to 8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic 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 Chapter 3 of the SWDM (if no chemicals are proposed for use). 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.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-88
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 Ecology’s BMP C250 (or BMP D.2.2.5 when
seeking City approval for non-chemical treatment) 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 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.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-89
The Filter element downstream of the untreated stormwater 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.
D.2.2.7 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 Construction Stormwater General 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.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-90
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 D.2.2.1, 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.
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 onsite.
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 to 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 the bottom of the tank, this will allow carbon dioxide to bubble up through the
water and diffuse more evenly.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-91
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 to 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 3 years.
D.2.2.8 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 D.2.2.7, High pH Neutralization Using CO2 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.

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 Chapter 5 of the SWDM
Dispersion
• Dispersion techniques should be consistent with Appendix C of the SWDM
Sanitary Sewer Disposal
• Approval from King County and the City of Renton 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 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.
D.2.2.9 USE OF HIGH PH SOIL AMENDMENTS ON CONSTRUCTION SITES
The use of soil amendments (including cement treated base [CTB] and cement kiln dust [CKD]) on
development sites must be approved by the City. The approval process is described in “Processing
Requirements for Use of Soil Amendments on Construction Sites” below.
Use of Soil Amendments
It is sometimes a construction practice to add soil amendments to the surfaces of some construction areas in order to stabilize the ground for building. This practice includes placing an additive on the ground then mixing with the soil to a specified depth and finally compacting the mix. When mixed with the soil, the moisture in the ground may allow these additives to create a chemical reaction that cures similar to concrete and may absorb excessive moisture to allow soils to be compacted. The end result is a stable site for constructing a road or building pad.
Because soil amendments may be rich in lime content and other material, water runoff from these areas
can be affected. If not controlled and treated, this could result in a degradation of water quality and natural
drainage systems. Because these additives come in a fine powder form, the actual application can create
fugitive dust. When mixed with water, some additives can become corrosive.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-93
Definitions
The following are definitions of soil amendment products that are allowed for use under these procedures:
1. Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) is a by-product in the manufacturing of cement9.
2. Cement Treated Base (CTB) utilizes Portland Cement Type II as the soil additive.
CTB/CKD Soil Amendment BMPs

[Note: Curing to avoid pH effects has no relationship to the rate at which material can be compacted in multiple lifts. Compaction will commence immediately after application and mixing, and multiple lifts will occur as quickly as each lift is compacted and ready to accept the next.] C. Should weather conditions prevent mixing, any unmixed CTB/CKD remaining on site will be enclosed in a sealed containment, such as portable silo, or removed from site.
Processing Requirements for Use of High pH Soil Amendments on Construction Sites10
Purpose
This section establishes procedures for implementing BMPs when using high pH soil amendments on
construction sites. See Table D.2.2.9.A for a description of the BMPs. This section outlines an expedited
review process and typical approval conditions that will allow contractors and builders to use soil
amendments without impacting water quality. Additional BMPs may be required based upon site specific
conditions that may warrant more protection. This policy is limited to those amendments, defined below,
commonly known to add stability to sloppy soil conditions but which can alter water runoff quality.
Authority: RMC 4-6-030(J) prohibits discharges of polluted or contaminated water into surface or storm
water drainage systems. The purpose of this statute is to protect surface and ground water by regulating the
discharge of potentially contaminated surface water. If soil amendments are proposed with an initial
application, an environmental review is required, under SEPA, which assesses impacts, provides public
input and mitigated conditions for its use.

SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual D-98
The City of Renton also requires an engineered design for use of a soil amendment on road surfaces or around drainage systems (see Appendix C). The design may incorporate a thorough assessment of soil
composition and laboratory analysis. The SWDM authorizes CED to adopt BMPs for the control and
protection of surface water. Currently, for all sites, the BMPs established in this policy are the minimum
standards that shall be applied.
Procedure
An applicant may apply for use of soil amendments allowed under this policy anytime during the permit
application review or after the permit has been issued and site construction is underway. After making a submittal to CED, the applicant may receive approval conditions. Conditions may vary from site to site,
but typically will include many of the BMPs included in this policy.
Applicants should identify any use of soil amendments as early in the process as possible to avoid delays
in obtaining approval for use during the construction phase. If a site has known soil and water conditions
that might make work during rainy periods difficult, they may want to plan to use soil amendments on
their site. Obviously, if this issue is addressed at the permit review phase, implementation in the field can occur without delay. However, because of the potential risks of surface water pollution discharge and
required treatment, an environmental assessment will be necessary before conditions for use can be established.
Limitations
This policy applies to the intended use of soil amendments in areas that will be covered by impervious surfaces. For areas not covered by impervious surfaces, additional reviews, study, and BMPs may be
required. In addition, alterations to original approved use plans will require a resubmittal for approval.
Approval for the use of the soil amendments can only occur by strictly following the procedures contained
herein and not by any other approval obtained from CED.
Submittal Requirements
To obtain approval for the use of soil amendments allowed under this policy, the applicant shall prepare a
submittal package to CED that includes the following:
• Letter to CED requesting use of soil amendments at a construction site allowed under this policy.
• Document or letter attachment that identifies source of materials and description of mixing and
laydown process, plan for disposal of treated contact water, sanitary sewer permits and/or BMPs, and
special precautions proposed to prevent the contamination of surface or stormwater drainage systems,
other than ‘sealed’ drainage systems.
• Site Plan: Show a site plan map which:
1) Shows overall grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
2) Identifies sensitive areas and permanent or temporary drainage facilities.
3) Identifies areas that soil amendment is planned.
4) Shows depths of application and percent of amendment to be used.
5) Shows location of special wheel wash facility.
6) Shows location of collection and conveyance swales or pipes for contact water.
7) Shows location of sealed storage/treatment tanks or temporary ponds (fully lined).
8) Identifies any discharge point from the site into natural drainage systems.
9) Includes soil log locations that identify seasonal high groundwater areas.
• Report and analysis of engineering mix design which includes depths of application and percent of amendment usage.
• For proposals that use CKD and CKD additive, provide analysis of source material for soluble contaminants. Include a description of fuel source.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016 D-99
• Monitoring criteria, including locations for pH and turbidity testing.
• Provide contingency plan should use of soil amendment and site and weather conditions result in polluted or contact water entering natural drainage systems.
• Provide contact information or water quality specialist assigned to monitor application of soil amendments and BMPs.
If the project is under construction, the applicant shall contact the CED inspector assigned to the project to
initiate a review for compliance with the BMPs and requirements herein. Otherwise contact the planner or
engineer assigned to review the permit or land use application.
Review and Approval
Once the review has been completed, the applicant shall be notified by letter which stipulates the
conditions of approval. Prior to authorizing the use of soil amendments at the site, the applicant shall
provide a special restoration financial guarantee cash deposit in the amount as determined by the existing,
established processes. Note: It remains the applicant/contractor’s responsibility to comply with any other
applicable state or federal regulations such as use of NIOSH respiratory protection, safety goggles, gloves
and protective clothing whenever using hazardous materials.
Applicable Standards
Typically, all proposals using soil amendments shall have these conditions as standard requirements:
1. Prior to any application of CKD/CTB, the general contract shall hold a preconstruction meeting with
the assigned CED inspector at least 3 working days in advance.
2. CKD will not be permitted for use in areas adjacent to or in proximity to wetlands and streams areas.
CTB may or may not be permitted in these areas.
3. Areas not covered by impervious surfaces:
• CKD will not be permitted in areas that will not be covered by impervious surfaces.
• If CTB is proposed in these areas, an analysis of whether or not the soil amendment will change
the post-development runoff characteristics and the permanent stormwater facilities were sized
appropriately shall be submitted for review. Use of CTB in areas not permanently covered by
impervious surface may require re-sizing of the permanent stormwater facilities.
4. If CKD is proposed, the contractor shall provide mill certificates verifying the product composition.
The contractor/developer must be prepared to follow BMPs during and after soil treatment and be
prepared to treat runoff from the treatment area(s) immediately. All stormwater collection systems
must be in place and all equipment (pH meters, dry ice, etc.) must be onsite.
5. Collection of stormwater (see BMP #5 in Table D.2.2.9.A):
• Stormwater from the application area shall be kept separate from and prevented from comingling
with uncontaminated stormwater.
• During the application of CKD/CTB, stormwater runoff shall be collected in temporary collection systems and shall not be allowed to enter the permanent facilities. Permanent drainage systems shall be capped to prevent contact stormwater from entering the inlets of the catch basins. Stormwater from the application area shall not be collected in the temporary/permanent detention ponds, even if the underlying soils are ‘impermeable.’
6. Treatment: If necessary, pH adjustment shall be done in the collection tanks or temporary ponds and
not in the permanent detention ponds.
7. Disposal options: The proposal to use CKD/CTB must contain a disposal plan that may include one or
a combination of sanitary sewer or approved offsite disposal. Treated contact water may be discharged
to the sanitary sewer if authorizations are obtained from the King County and the City of Renton. All
discharge conditions (e.g., pH, settleable solids) must be followed. If a sanitary sewer is not available
at the site, contact water may be transported offsite to an approved site for disposal and proof of
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS

proper disposal must be submitted to the City. All authorizations for disposal shall be obtained prior to CKD/CTB application.
• Infiltration: Depending on the site conditions, pH-adjusted stormwater may be infiltrated. Prior to
infiltration, pH must be between 6.5 and 8.5.
• Surface Water: Contact water from the application area shall not be discharged to surface waters, even if treatment has adjusted the pH.
8. Emergency backup plan: An emergency backup plan must be prepared and ready to implement to
handle large quantities of stormwater.
9. Monitoring shall be conducted to determine that contact stormwater is not leaving the site. Offsite
monitoring shall also be conducted to identify impacts to adjacent water bodies. Bonding may be
required to cover mitigation of impacts and restoration.
10. A soils specialist will establish the mixing percentage for onsite soils. Soil amendments will never
occur in excess of the ability of the onsite equipment and resources to meet all BMP requirements.
11. For sites one acre or larger, a Construction Stormwater General permit must be obtained from
Ecology. Construction Stormwater General permits and ‘Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPPs) must be amended and the use of CKD/CTB must be approved by Ecology prior to
application.
The contractor/developer shall comply will all federal, state, and local regulations. A health and safety
plan may be required for the protection of CED inspectors.
Additional BMPs may be applicable depending on mix design, proximity of wetlands or streams (e.g.,
within 300 feet of class/type I and 100 feet or less for other types) and site conditions.
D.2.2.10 MAINTAIN PROTECTIVE BMPS
Pollutant protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended
function. Reporting and documentation shall be kept current and made available to CED as indicated.
Purpose: The purpose of maintaining protective BMPs is to provide effective pollutant protection when
and where required by the plan and the project, and to provide timely and relevant project information.
When to Maintain: Protection measures shall be monitored per Section D.2.4.4 at a minimum,
continuously during operation, and promptly maintained to fully functioning condition as necessary to
ensure continued performance of their intended function. Documentation shall be kept current per specific
BMP requirements.
Measures to Use:
1. Maintain and repair all pollutant control BMPs as needed to ensure continued performance of their
intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
2. Maintain and repair storage locations for equipment and materials associated with BMP processes.
Conduct materials disposal in compliance with City requirements.
3. As required, provide current reporting and performance documentation at an accessible location for
the site inspector and other CED staff.
4. Remove all temporary pollutant control BMPs prior to final construction approval, or within 30 days
after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
D.2.2.11 MANAGE THE PROJECT
SWPPP requirements shall be implemented and managed as part of the overall CSWPP plan. Concrete
construction and its impacts are primary among pollutant concerns on site development projects. Fueling
operations and materials containment of treatment chemicals and other project materials are also typical
