BUILDING DIVISION
2: PLAN REVIEW: JAN ILLIAN 425-430-7216 TIR STORM COMMENTS:
DLR Group response: reference responses in separate letter,dated June 10, 2011,from Matthew Jones, Civil Engineer,
Magnusson Klemencic Associates,included herewith; included also is a revised stormwater report.
1.Filterra®is not an approved treatment facility in the City's Amendments to
t
the 2009 KCSWDM. However,it has been given a general use designation for
enhanced water quality treatment by Ecology through their Technology Assessment
Protocol(TAPE) program. The City will consider any treatment facility that has
been given a general use designation provided it is approved through the City's
adjustment process. To be approved,the applicant will need to provide a
written request to the Renton Development Services Division that shows the
proposed water quality treatment facility will meet the following:
" Produces a compensating or comparable result that is in the public interest
" Meets the objectives of safety, function, appearance,environmental
protection, and maintainability based on sound engineering judgment.
Further information on the adjustment processes can be found in Section 1.4 of
the City amendments document.
2. In accordance with the Department of Ecology's general use level designation
requirements,the water quality volume sizing for the Filterra® is based on a
volume equal to or greater than the 91 percent of the influent runoff file
using DOE's Western Washington Hydrologic Model.However,the third paragraph
in Section 4 of the drainage report, states that the water quality volume will
be based on 60% of the 2-yr peak flow rate as determined using the KCRTS model
with 15 min time steps per Section 6.2.1 of the City of Renton Amendments to
the King County Surface Water Design Manual .The TIR will need to be corrected
to show that the proposed treatment facility will be designed using the
criteria in Ecology's General Use Level Designation for Filterra®.
3. Per Ecology's conditions of use for Filterra®,the sizing for enhanced
treatment should be based on a filter hydraulic conductivity of 24.82
inches/hour.The WWHM summary sheet in the TIR shows an input value of 24.5
inches/hour.Applicant will need to explain the discrepancy.
4. Based on Table IV-1 on page 2 of the TIR,the project is required to treat
25,754 SF of replaced pollution generating impervious surface(PGIS). To
provide enhanced treatment for this area,the project proposes to treat 19,063
SF of the replaced PGIS,4,807 SF of existing PGIS not currently being treated
and 2,318 SF of non-pollution generating impervious surface. In accordance with
Core Requirement No. 8, treating existing PGIS that is not currently being
treated to compensate for targeted PGIS that cannot be treated is acceptable
provided the existing area being treated has the same pollutant loading
characteristics as the targeted PGIS. Since the 2,318 SF being treated is from
a non-pollution generating impervious surface, it cannot be considered as
providing mitigation.The applicant must either treat additional replaced PGIS
or existing PGIS with the same pollutant loading characteristics.
5. Figure I-3F does not appear to delineate replaced PGIS being treated; it
only shows the existing PGIS being treated.
6. Include in the TIR, a copy of the Ecology's product design document that
defines the requirements for the use of Filterra® as an enhanced water quality
treatment facility.
7. Include the WWHM output files for the Filterra®as a separate appendix in
the report. Include in the appendix drawing detail and cover letter that shows
the design was reviewed and approved by Filterra®.
8. The TIR does not address the requirement for Flow Control BMPs. Per Core
Requirement No. 3, all projects, including redevelopment projects must provide
onsite flow control facilities or flow control BMPs or both to all targeted
surfaces. The applicant will need to review Chapter 5 of the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual to determine if flow control BMPs are required.
3 '
9.The design plans use construction notes to identify existing and proposed
utilities.This method makes it difficult to review the plans and does not
conform to the standards for site improvement plans in Section 2.3.1.2 of the
2009 KCSWDM.Existing storm drainage facilities are to be represented with
dashed lines and labeled as "Existing". New drainage pipes should have the
length,diameter and material identified next to the pipe.
10. Plans should include profiles of proposed storm pipes.
Please address each comment in writng. Please submit 1 copy of the revised TIR
and 1 jset of revised drawings.

SECTION i• PROJECT OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This report documents the stormwater and drainage design approach for the proposed Building 4-68
Boeing Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) project. The report has been prepared using the guidelines for
the Stormwater Technical Information Report (TIR) from the City of Renton Amendments to the 2009
King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) dated February 2010. Figure I-1 consists of the
standard TIR worksheet, completed for the project.
The project is located within the Boeing-Renton Facility in Renton, Washington, just south of the southern
tip of Lake Washington and just east of the lower reach of the Cedar River (see Figure I-2A). The site
resides in Section 7, Range 5 East, Township 23 North, and is within the block bounded by North Sixth
Street and Nishiwaki Lane. It is located in the Lower Cedar River Basin.
Boeing's Renton Facility occupies roughly 278 acres of property and houses nearly 4.3 million square-
feet of building space. This project proposes a new approximately 76,000-square-foot warehouse
building (4-68 BFE) adjacent to the existing 4-75 building that will become the new home for avionics
and seat assemblage amongst other functions (see Figure 1-213). The east face of the new BFE building
will abut the west face of the existing 4-75 building. In the northwest corner of the new BFE building,
two loading docks will be constructed and the existing parking lot will be modified to accommodate
truck staging as well as loading and unloading. The existing covered pedestrian walkway will be
bisected due to construction of the new BFE building, which will force pedestrian circulation to the west.
The north and south sides of the new BFE building will tie into the existing roads that run east-west.
Figure 1-213 shows the project site and limits of work for the proposed improvements.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The entirety of the Boeing Renton Facility is developed, and current land use consists of paved parking
areas, industrial warehouses, roads, and covered pedestrian walkways. The project is located roughly
100 feet outside of the 100-year flood plain of the lower Cedar River and is prone to high liquefaction,
as seen on Figures 1-2C and I-2D. The existing site is currently occupied by the 4-75 building, covered
walkways, cement concrete pavement, curbs, an asphalt concrete drive lane, and parking are also
present on site.
As stated previously, the site is located in the Lower Cedar River basin. There are two sub-basins that
divide the site, as delineated by the Boeing-Renton Facility Drainage Basin Boundaries Map:
- Sub-basin 32 to the north and Sub-basin 34 to the south (see Figures I-3A and 1-313).
North Basin (32)
Runoff from paved areas in the North Basin is currently routed through an oil/water separator (ROWS-
43; see Figure 1-36). This basin also collects half of the existing 4-75 building roof area which is routed
to the drainage system downstream of the oil/water separator. All the storm water leaves the site to the
west, and is then routed roughly 2,400 feet to the north by means of a 54-inch reinforced concrete pipe
that upsizes to a 60-inch before draining directly into lake Washington.

South Basin (34)
Runoff from the paved areas to the west and south of the existing building currently drain to the south
where they are routed through one of two oil/water separators (ROWS-49 and ROWS-50; see
Figure 1-36). The storm water drains into catch basins, as in Sub-basin 32, and is then conveyed to the
west. It is then routed to the north and connects to the same storm drainage system as Sub-basin 32,
eventually discharging into Lake Washington.
The table below summarizes the existing surface conditions within the project limits delineated on
Figure I-3D.

Pollution-Generating Impervious Surface 108,744 2.50
Landscape— Pervious 863 0.02
Total 112,576 2.59
PROPOSED DRAINAGE
The project does not propose to change any discharge locations from the sub-basins or their final
discharge to Lake Washington. All new storm drainage infrastructure will be installed to capture new
roof and pavement runoff and will convey it to existing structures and outfalls. Due to the fact that Lake
Washington is the receiving body for runoff from the site and meets the direct discharge criteria, storm
water detention is neither required nor proposed. Water quality treatment is proposed via Americast's
Filterra System as a means to provide enhanced water quality treatment for the pollution-generating
impervious surfaces (PGIS).
The tables below summarize the surface conditions within the projects limits of work as delineated on
Figure I-3E and Figure 1-3F.

SOILS
The Boeing Renton Facility sits on the sedimentation fan created by the Cedar River outfall to Lake
Washington. The soils are comprised of loose and unconsolidated alluvial sediments, as seen on the
soil map in Figure 1-4 (prepared by the Soil Conservation Service [SCS] in the 1970s).
The Geotechnical Report produced by Soil and Environmental Engineers, Inc., dated March 25, 2011,
is included in this report in Appendix C, in which they note the following:
"The native soils in the area consist of loose and unconsolidated alluvial sediments extending
to 100 feet or more in depth. During WWII, the plant area was leveled by about 2 to 5 feet
thick of fill. The native soils immediately under the fill include soft and compressible silt and
loose sand. Groundwater level is typically about 4 to 6 feet below the ground surface ...
[T]he majority of Renton area has been modified by past grading activities. Cedar River has
meandered through various portions of the city since last glaciations and deposited alluvial
soils. The upper portion of these soils is typically soft and unconsolidated."

SECTION II• CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
SITE CON DITIONS/THRESHOLDS
This project is considered a redevelopment project. The total project area encompasses 2.59 acres.
The project will yield approximately 1.74 acres of building roof, 0.53 acres of replaced pavement,
0.10 acres of sidewalk, and roughly 0.22 acres of landscape areas. Approximate 1 .84 acres of
existing pollution-generating surfaces will be replaced with non-pollution-generating rooftop surface
and sidewalk.
RAINFALL
Design storms for the project are shown in Table II-1 and Figures II-1 to II-3.

Rainfall
Storm Recurrence (inches)
2-year 1.95
10-year 2.89
25-year 3.38
100-year 3.90
CORE REQUIREMENTS
Stormwater detention is not required due to the fact that the site discharges directly to Lake Washington,
an exempt water body, and meets all of the direct discharge criteria. Water quality, however, is required
due to the project's removal and replacement of more than 5,000 square feet of pollution-generating
impervious surfaces. The drainage design will accommodate the roof drainage off of the west side of
the existing 4-75 building as well as the proposed BFE building and associated loading docks. Listed
below are the core requirements as described in the City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM
dated February 2010.
Core Requirement 1: Discharge at the Natural Location
The proposed storm drainage system will mimic the existing drainage sub-basins and tie into the existing
storm drain system, thus discharging at the natural location.
Stormwater Technical Information
Boeing Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) Expansion, Building 4-68, Renton, Washington

Core Requirement 2: Offsite Analysis
The project is exempt per Exemption #3, which states, "The project does not change the rate, volume,
duration, or location of discharges to and from the project site (e.g., where the existing impervious
surface is replaced with other impervious surface having similar runoff-generating characteristics)."
Core Requirement 3: Flow Control
The project will obtain a direct discharge exemption since the site discharges to Lake Washington and
meets the following criteria:
a) The flowpath from the project site discharge point to the edge of the 100-year floodplain of the
major receiving water will be no longer than one-half mile, except for discharges to Lake
Washington, and
b) The conveyance system between the project site and the major receiving water will extend to the
ordinary high water mark, and will be comprised of manmade conveyance elements (pipes,
ditches, etc.) and will be within public right-of-way or a public or private drainage easement,
and
c) The conveyance system will have adequate capacity to convey the 25-year peak flow (per Core
Requirement #4, Conveyance System) for the entire contributing drainage area, assuming
build-out conditions to current zoning for the equivalent area portion (defined in Figure I.2.3.A,
below) and existing conditions for the remaining area, and
d) The conveyance system will be adequately stabilized to prevent erosion, assuming the same
basin conditions as assumed in Criteria (c) above, and
e) The direct discharge proposal will not divert flows from or increase flows to an existing wetland
or stream sufficient to cause a significant adverse impact.
Core Requirement 4: Conveyance System
The proposed storm drain system will be designed to convey the 100-year storm event. Storm drainage
infrastructure will be installed that extends along both the north and south sides of the proposed BFE
building as well as trench drains and a storm drain manhole within the proposed loading docks. All
storm drain piping will consist of Lined Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe where cover over the top of pipe is
2 feet or more. Ductile Iron pipe will be used in areas where the cover over the top of pipe is less than
2 feet.
Core Requirement 5: Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control (TESC) Plans have been prepared for this project and are
included in this report as Appendix E.

Core Requirement 6: Maintenance and Operation
Maintenance and operation requirements have been identified based on the stormwater management
and storm drain system design. The Boeing Company is responsible for maintaining the proposed
facilities in accordance with applicable manufacturer's recommendations, the 2009 KCSWDM, and the
City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM adopted in February 2010.
Core Requirement 1: Financial Guarantees and Liability
Does not apply.
Core Requirement 8: Water Quality
Enhanced water quality treatment will be required as the project will remove and replace more than
5,000 square feet of pollution-generating impervious surfaces and a concern exists about metals such
as Copper and Zinc. To accomplish this, two Americast Filterra Internal Bypass units with high flow
bypass systems will be installed. These units will be installed behind the existing curb in two of the sump
conditions on the west side of the site. Solid locking lids will be installed on the existing catch basins in
order to direct the flows into the Filterra units. See Section IV for more information.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM adopted in February 2010 is used as the basis
for storm water design of this site. Below are additional special requirements that are specified in the
KCSWDM.
Special Requirement 1: Other Adopted Area-specific Requirements
All other adopted requirements do not apply.
Special Requirement 2: Flood Hazard Area Delineation
This requirement does not apply since the site is not located in a floodplain.
Special Requirement 3: Flood Protection Facilities
Does not apply.
Special Requirement 4: Source Controls
The proposed project will comply with this requirement. Please refer to the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), included as Appendix D, for source control information.
Special Requirement 5: Oil Control
This requirement does not apply since this project will not create a high-use site. That said, the site
currently routes all pollution-generating surfaces through three existing oil-water separators (ROWS-043

in the north basin and ROWS-49 and ROWS-50 in the south basin) that will remain in use during and
after construction. Refer to Figure 1-313 for details.
Special Requirement 6: Aquifer Protection Area
This requirement does not apply since the project is not location in an Aquifer Protection Area (APA).

SECTION III: OFFSIIE ANALYSIS
A quantitative downstream analysis is not required for this project since it does not change the rate,
volume, duration, or location of discharges to and from the project site (e.g., where existing impervious
surface is replaced with other impervious surface having similar runoff-generating characteristics, or
where pipe/ditch modifications do not change existing discharge characteristics).
STUDY AREA DEFINITION AND MAPS
The project site is located in the Lower Cedar River watershed at the southern end of Lake Washington.
A quantitative downstream analysis is not required for this project for the reasons stated above. Please
refer to Figures 1-2 for the site location and characteristics.
SECTION IV: FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
FLOW CONTROL
This project is exempt from flow control (Core Requirement #3), due to a direct discharge exemption, as
previously stated in Section II of this report.
FLOW CONTROL BMPs
This project will implement the large lot high impervious Best Management Practice (BMP) requirements
for flow control as outlined in Section 5.2.1 .3 of the KCSWDM.
■ Full dispersion is not feasible for this site since no forest area is available within the threshold
discharge area to meet the 15 percent ratio of fully dispersed impervious area to native vegetated
surface.
■ Since the subject site will result in impervious surface coverage greater than 65 percent
(approximately 92 percent), flow control BMPS must be applied to an impervious area equal to at

least 10 percent of the site area (10% * 112,576 sf = 1 1,258 sf) or 20 percent of the target
impervious surface (20% * 0 sf = 0 sf). With respect to BMPs, the proposed Americast Filterra units
are comparable to rain gardens, an acceptable flow control BMP as described in Section 5.2.1.3 in
the KCSWDM, and are sized to treat 23,726 square feet, which equates to roughly 21 percent of
the site area.
■ It is not practical to use perforated pipe connections for the roof downspouts due to the presence of
high ground water and poor soils with negligible infiltration capacity. Refer to the soils report in
Appendix C.
WATER QUALITY TREATMENT
Water Quality will be provided for pollution-generating surfaces in the south basin, which primarily
occur in Basins A and B (see Figure 1-3F). Water will surface flow to two Americast Filterra Internal
Bypass units. Table IV-1 below describes the areas that will be treated for water quality:
Table IV-]: Water Quality Treatment Areas within Basin Boundaries
Treatment,. North Pnsin South Basin Total
Total Area Treated for Water Quality 0 23,736 23,736
Replaced PGIS Treated for Water Quality 0 18,491 18,491
Existing PGIS Treated for Water Quality 0 5,245 5,245
Replaced PGIS Not Treated for Water Quality 475 3,958 4,433
The Filterra units were sized based on a volume equal to or greater than 91 percent of the influent
runoff volume using the Department of Ecology's Western Washington Hydrologic Model (WWHM).
Refer to the WWHM output files and Americast Filterra documentation in Appendix B.
Water quality treatment is not proposed in the north basin as this basin will contain a mere 475 square
feet of replaced pollution-generating impervious surface. The south basin, however, has 3,958 square
feet of pollution-generating impervious surfaces that will not be treated for water quality as the grades
will not allow these areas to surface drain to the water quality treatment areas. These areas can be seen
- in blue on Figure 1-3F.
That said, the proposed water quality treatment facilities have been sized to treat 23,736 square feet, of
which 18,491 square feet will be replaced PGIS within Basins A and B. The difference between these
two areas is 5,245 square feet (23,736 - 18,491), which is the area of the currently untreated existing
roads that will surface drain to the proposed water quality facilities. Therefore, the proposed treatment
system will treat 812 square feet beyond what is required (5,245 - 3,958 - 475), thus sufficiently
offsetting the areas that will not be treated.

SECTION V• CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
HYDROLOGY FOR CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The KCRTS modeling program was used to determine the design flow rates for this project; the
- calculation printouts as well as example calculations can be found in Appendix A. All storm pipes were
sized based on the 100-year flow rate. Using 15-minute time steps, this flow rate was found to be
1.29 CFS per acre of impervious surface. Although there is roughly 9,400 square feet of pervious
- landscape surfaces, all of the surfaces were modeled as impervious surfaces to maintain a level of
conservatism.
FlowMaster was used to calculate the flow capacity of the proposed storm drain pipes. The proposed
pipe size and slope was used to calculate the full flow capacity. This flow rate was then compared to
the 100-year flow rate as a minimum requirement. Figure V-1 shows the flow diagram for the site and
all contributing areas and flow rates. The FlowMaster calculation printout shows the pipe's flow
capacity on the first page, and the 100-year flow rate for the contributing area can be found on the
second page.

SECTION X. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
- OPERATIONS
This project provides storm water treatment facilities to treat runoff. The operation of the treatment
facilities will be passive and controlled by gravity. There are no actions required on the part of the
Owner aside from maintaining the facilities.
While it is not required, the maintenance interval of the proposed facilities can be extended by regularly
removing leaves and debris from the roads within the catchment areas. Using a street sweeper
regularly, particularly following autumn leaf fall, is highly recommended. Inspections and maintenance
will be performed as required by the manufacturer's Operation and Maintenance Manual as well as the
KCSWDM.
MAINTENANCE
The storm water treatment and conveyance facilities will require periodic inspection and cleaning to
function properly. The specific areas requiring maintenance are the storm drain pipes and drainage
structures. Please refer to Appendix A of the KCSWDM for specific and additional maintenance
information. To ensure long-term performance of each Filterra Bioretention System, continual annual
maintenance programs should be performed per the latest Filterra Operation and Maintenance
Manual; a copy of the current manual is provided in Appendix B of this report.

Plan Review of Filterra°
Boeing - Building 04-68-75, City of Renton, WA
Dear Sirs
Thank you for submitting the revised plans on 09 June 2011 for our review of the subject
project. Filterra structures 19 (FTS-CI 8x6-2) and 20 (FTS-CI 8x4-2)were studied for;
• Planned Filterra®box sized according to Washington DOE WWHM modeling
• Filterra® invert elevations are higher than effluent invert elevations
• The maximum treatment flow does not exceed our internal weir allowance
• The Filterra® outlet drain pipe is sized according to plans
• For any conflicting structures such as storm drain pipes below Filterra®
• For most efficient placement of Filterra®units
The plan review concluded that the Filterra®structures listed above were sited and sized
appropriately to treat stormwater to our published specifications and in compliance with
Washington Department of Ecology's WWHM modeling; meeting the 91% filtered
threshold for Basic Treatment.
Operational consistency with these specifications is contingent upon the stormwater units
being installed correctly and according to the plans, as well as regular maintenance being
performed. Installation Help documents will be forwarded to the Buyer at time of order.
The Filterra Operation and Maintenance Manual will be made available upon request.
Yours sincerely

GENERAL USE LEVEL DESIGNATION FOR BASIC (TSS), ENHANCED, &
OIL TREATMENT
CONDITIONAL USE LEVEL DESIGNATION FOR PHOSPHORUS
TREATMENT
For
Americast's Filterra®
Ecolo 's Decision:
Based on Americast's submissions, including the Final Technical Evaluation Report, dated
December, 2009 and additional information provided to Ecology dated October 9, 2009,
Ecology hereby issues the following use level designations:
1. A General Use Level Designation for Basic,Enhanced,and Oil Treatment.
2. A Conditional Use Level Designation for Phosphorus Treatment.
The Conditional Use Level Designation expires on December 1,2011 unless extended by
Ecology, and is subject to the conditions specified below.
Ecolou's Conditions of Use:
Filterra®units shall be designed,installed, and maintained to comply with these
conditions:
1. Each Filterra®unit shall be sized for Basic and Oil Treatment using a filter hydraulic
conductivity of 35.46 inches/hour (assuming a hydraulic gradient of 1.41 inch/inch as
listed in the TER) using the sand filter module in the latest version of the Western
Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM)or other Ecology-approved continuous runoff
model. The model must indicate the unit is capable of processing 91 percent of the
influent runoff file. The Filterra®unit is not appropriate for oil spill-control purposes.
2. Each Filterra®unit shall be sized for Enhanced Treatment using a filter hydraulic
conductivity of 24.82 inches/hour (assuming a hydraulic gradient of 1.41 inch/inch as
listed in the TER) using the sand filter module in the latest version of the WWHM or
other Ecology-approved continuous runoff model. The model must indicate the unit is
capable of processing 91 percent of the influent runoff file.
3. Each Filterra®unit shall be sized for Phosphorus Treatment using a filter hydraulic
conductivity of 35.46 inches/hour (assuming a hydraulic gradient of 1.41 inch/inch as
listed in the TER) using the sand filter module in the latest version of the WWHM or
1
other Ecology-approved continuous runoff model. The model must indicate the unit is
capable of processing 91 percent of the influent runoff file.
4. Each site plan must undergo Filterra® review before the unit can be approved for site
installation. This will ensure that site grading and slope are appropriate for use of a
Filterra®unit.
5. Filterra® media shall conform to the specifications submitted to and approved by
Ecology.
6. Maintenance includes removing trash, degraded mulch, and accumulated debris from
the filter surface and replacing the mulch layer. Inspections will be used to determine
the site-specific maintenance schedules and requirements. Maintenance procedures
should follow those given in the most recent version of the Filterra®Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual.
7. Filterra© commits to submitting a QAPP by May 15, 2010 for Ecology review and
approval of a new test site that meets the TAPE requirements for attaining a GULD for
phosphorus treatment. The QAPP must be submitted for a minimum of one site where
the unit is to be used for phosphorus treatment.
8. Filterra® shall submit a TER for Ecology review for phosphorus treatment by
December 1,2011.
9. Filterra© units come in standard sizes. The minimum size filter surface-area is
determined by using the sand filter module in the latest version of WWHM or other
Ecology approved continuous runoff model. Model inputs include
a. Filter media depth: 1.8 feet
b. Effective Ponding Depth: 0.75 feet(This is equivalent to the 6-inch clear zone
between the top of the mulch and the bottom of the slab plus 3 inches of mulch.)
c. Side slopes: Vertical
d. Riser height: 0.70 feet
e. Filter Hydraulic Conductivity: Must be back-calculated assuming a target
infiltration rate of 35 inches per hour (enhanced treatment) or 50 inches per
hour (Basic,oil,or phosphorus treatment). Hydraulic conductivity in the
WWHM includes the effective ponding depth as well as the filter media depth.
10. Filterra® may request Ecology to grant deadline or expiration date extensions,upon
showing cause for such extensions. Lack of funds to complete the monitoring will not
be viewed by Ecology as sufficient cause.
11. Discharges from the Filterra®units shall not cause or contribute to water quality
standards violations in receiving waters.

Applicant's Use Level Request:
General Level Use Designation for Basic, Enhanced,and Oil Treatment and Conditional Use
Level Designation for Phosphorus Treatment.
Applicant's Performance Claims:
Field-testing and laboratory testing show that the Filterra®unit is promising as a stormwater
m Ecology's performance goals for basic
treatment best management practice and can meet g P gY P g
enhanced and oil treatment and has the potential to meet Ecology's goal for phosphorus
treatment.
Findings of Fact:
1. Field-testing was completed at two sites at the Port of Tacoma. Continuous flow and
rainfall data collected during the 2008-2009 monitoring period indicated that 89 storm
events occurred. Water quality data was obtained from 27 storm events. Not all the
sampled storms produced information that met TAPE criteria for storm and/or water
quality data.
2. During the testing at the Port of Tacoma, 98.96 to 99.89 percent of the annual influent
runoff volume passed through the POT and POT2 test systems respectively.
Stormwater runoff bypassed the POT1 test system during nine storm events and bypassed
the POT2 test system during one storm event. Bypass volumes ranged from 0.13%to
3
15.3%of the influent storm volume. Both test systems achieved the 91 percent water
quality treatment-goal over the 1-year monitoring period.
3. Infiltration rates as high as 133 in/hr were observed during the various storms. No paired
data that identified percent removal of TSS,metals,oil,or phosphorus at an instantaneous
observed flow rate was provided.
4. The maximum storm average hydraulic loading rate associated with water quality data is
<40 in/hr,with the majority of flow rates<25 in/hr. The average instantaneous hydraulic
loading rate ranged from 8.6 to 53 inches per hour.
5. The field data showed a removal rate greater than 80% for TSS with an influent
concentration greater than 20 mg/l at an average instantaneous hydraulic loading rate up
to 53 in/hr(average influent concentration of 28.8 mg/1,average effluent concentration of
4.3 mg/1).
6. The field data showed a removal rate generally greater than 54% for dissolved zinc at an
average instantaneous hydraulic loading rate up to 60 in/hr and an average influent
concentration of 0.266 mg/1(average effluent concentration of 0.115 mg/1).
7. The field data showed a removal rate generally greater than 40% for dissolved copper at
an average instantaneous hydraulic loading rate up to 35 in/hr and an average influent
concentration of 0.0070 mg/1(average effluent concentration of 0.0036 mg/1).
8. The field data showed a average removal rate of 93% for total petroleum hydrocarbon
(TPH)at an average instantaneous hydraulic loading rate up to 53 in/hr and an average
influent concentration of 52 mg/l(average effluent concentration of 2.3 mg/1). The data
also shows achievement of less than 15 mg/l TPH for grab samples. Limited visible
sheen data was provided due to access limitations at the outlet monitoring location.
9. The field data showed low percentage removals of total Phosphorus at all storm flows at
an average influent concentration of 0.189 mg/l(average effluent concentration of 0.171
mg/1). The relatively poor treatment performance of the Filterra® system at this location
may be related to influent characteristics for total phosphorus that are unique to the Port
of Tacoma site. It appears that the Filterra® system will not meet the 50 percent removal
performance goal when the majority of phosphorus in the runoff is expected to be in the
dissolved form.
10. Laboratory testing was performed on a scaled down version of the Filterra®unit. The
lab data showed an average removal from 83-91% for TSS with influents ranging from
21 to 320 mg/L, 82-84% for total copper with influents ranging from 0.94 to 2.3 mg/L,
and 50-61% for orthophosphate with influents ranging from 2.46 to 14.37 mg/L.
11. Permeability tests were conducted on the soil media.
12. Lab scale testing using Sil-Co-Sil 106 showed percent removals ranging from 70.1%to
95.5%with a median percent removal of 90.7%, for influent concentrations ranging from
8.3 to 260 mg/L. These laboratory tests were run at an infiltration rate of 50 in/hr.
4
13. Supplemental lab testing conducted in September 2009 using Sil-co-Sil 106 showed an
average percent removal of 90.6%. These laboratory tests were run at infiltration rates
ranging from 25 to 150 in/hr for influent concentrations ranging from 41.6 to 252.5 mg/l.
Regression analysis results indicate that the Filterra system's TSS removal performance
is independent of influent concentration in the concentration range evaluated at hydraulic
loading rates of up to 150 in/hr.
Remaining Issues or Concerns about the Filterra®Technology:
Americast will provide additional mulch and media specifications for new installations and the
facilities used for the TER by December 31, 2009. Once this information has been provided to
Ecology,the General Use Level Designation will be finalized.

General Description
The following general specifications describe the general operations and maintenance requirements for
the Americast stormwater bioretention filtration system, the Filterra° The system utilizes physical,
chemical and biological mechanisms of a soil, plant and microbe complex to remove pollutants typically
found in urban stormwater runoff. The treatment system is a fully equipped, pre-constructed drop-in place
unit designed for applications in the urban landscape to treat contaminated runoff.

Treated Stormwater Container
Stormwater flows through a specially designed filter media mixture contained in a landscaped concrete
container. The mixture immobilizes pollutants which are then decomposed, volatilized and incorporated
into the biomass of the Filterra°system's micro/macro fauna and flora. Stormwater runoff flows through
the media and into an underdrain system at the bottom of the container, where the treated water is
discharged. Higher flows bypass the Filterra°to a downstream inlet or outfall.
Maintenance is a simple, inexpensive and safe operation that does not require confined space access,
pumping or vacuum equipment or specialized tools. Properly trained landscape personnel can effectively
maintain Filterra°Stormwater systems by following instructions in this manual.

Basic Operations
Filterra°is a bioretention system in a concrete box. Contaminated stormwater runoff enters the filter box
through the curb inlet spreading over the 3-inch layer of mulch on the surface of the filter media. As the
water passes through the mulch layer, most of the larger sediment particles and heavy metals are
removed through sedimentation and chemical reactions with the organic material in the mulch. Water
passes through the soil media where the finer particles are removed and other chemical reactions take
place to immobilize and capture pollutants in the soil media. The cleansed water passes into an
underdrain and flows to a pipe system or other appropriate discharge point. Once the pollutants are in
the soil, the bacteria begin to break down and metabolize the materials and the plants begin to uptake
and metabolize the pollutants. Some pollutants such as heavy metals, which are chemically bound to
organic particles in the mulch, are released over time as the organic matter decomposes to release the
metals to the feeder roots of the plants and the cells of the bacteria in the soil where they remain and are
recycled. Other pollutants such as phosphorus are chemically bound to the soil particles and released
slowly back to the plants and bacteria and used in their metabolic processes. Nitrogen goes through a
very complex variety of biochemical processes where it can ultimately end up in the plant/bacteria
biomass, turned to nitrogen gas or dissolves back into the water column as nitrates depending on soil
temperature, pH and the availability of oxygen. The pollutants ultimately are retained in the mulch, soil
and biomass with some passing out of the system into the air or back into the water.
Design and Installation
Each project presents different scopes for the use of Filterra systems. To ensure the safe and specified
function of the stormwater BMP, Americast reviews each application before supply Information and help
may be provided to the design engineer during the planning process. Correct Filterra°box sizing (by
rainfall region) is essential to predict pollutant removal rates for a given area. The engineer shall submit
calculations for approval by the local jurisdiction. The contractor is responsible for the correct installation
of Filterra units as shown in approved plans. A comprehensive installation manual is available at
fillrerra.com.
Maintenance
Why Maintain
All stormwater treatment systems require maintenance for effective operation. This necessity is often
incorporated in your property's permitting process as a legally binding BMP maintenance agreement.
• Avoid legal challenges from your jurisdiction's maintenance enforcement program.
• Prolong the expected lifespan of your Filterra media.
• Avoid more costly media replacement.
• Help reduce pollutant loads leaving your property.
Simple maintenance of the Filterra is required to continue effective pollutant removal from stormwater
runoff before discharge into downstream waters. This procedure will also extend the longevity of the living
biofilter system. The unit will recycle and accumulate pollutants within the biomass, but is also subjected
to other materials entering the throat. This may include trash, silt and leaves etc. which will be contained
within the void below the top grate and above the mulch layer. Too much silt may inhibit the Filterra's°
flow rate, which is the reason for site stabilization before activation. Regular replacement of the mulch
stops accumulation of such sediment.

When to Maintain?
Americast includes a 1-year maintenance plan with each system purchase. Annual included maintenance
consists of a maximum of two (2) scheduled visits. Additional maintenance may be necessary depending
on sediment and trash loading (by Owner or at additional cost). The start of the maintenance plan begins
when the system is activated for full operation. Full operation is defined as the unit installed, curb and
gutter and transitions in place and activation (by Supplier)when mulch and plant are added and
temporary throat protection removed.
Activation cannot be carried out until the site is fully stabilized (full landscaping, grass cover, final paving
and street sweeping completed). Maintenance visits are scheduled seasonally; the spring visit aims to
clean up after winter loads including salts and sands. The fall visit helps the system by removing
excessive leaf litter.
A first inspection to determine if maintenance is necessary should be performed at least twice annually
after every major storm event of greater than (1) one inch total depth (subject to regional climate). Please
refer to the maintenance checklist for specific conditions that indicate if maintenance is necessary.
It has been found that in regions which receive between 30-50 inches of annual rainfall, (2)two visits are
generally required. Regions with less rainfall often only require (1) one visit per annum. Varying land uses
can affect maintenance frequency; e.g. some fast food restaurants require more frequent trash removal.
Contributing drainage areas which are subject to new development wherein the recommended erosion
and sediment control measures have not been implemented require additional maintenance visits.
Some sites may be subjected to extreme sediment or trash loads, requiring more frequent maintenance
visits. This is the reason for detailed notes of maintenance actions per unit, helping the Supplier and
Owner predict future maintenance frequencies, reflecting individual site conditions.
Owners must promptly notify the (maintenance) Supplier of any damage to the plant(s), which
constitute(s) an integral part of the bioretention technology. Owners should also advise other landscape
or maintenance contractors to leave all maintenance to the Supplier(i.e. no pruning or fertilizing).
Exclusion of Services
It is the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate irrigation when necessary to the plant of the
Filterra°system.
Clean up due to major contamination such as oils, chemicals, toxic spills, etc. will result in additional costs
and are not covered under the Supplier maintenance contract. Should a major contamination event
occur, the Owner must block off the outlet pipe of the Filterra°(where the cleaned runoff drains to, such
as drop-inlet) and block off the throat of the Filterra°. The Supplier should be informed immediately.

BOEING RENTON PLANT
For
The Boeing Company
1.0 INTRODUCTION
We present in this report our geotechnical recommendations for the proposed 4-68 Building at Boeing's
Renton Plant. The proposed building will be located about 12 feet to the west of the existing 4-75 building.
A project location plan is shown in Figure I which is included at the end this report. We understand that
the new building will be single-story with 75,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space. The
building will house Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) seat assembly tine along with new office, loading
dock, and storage space. We further understand that the design floor load will be 500 pounds per square
feet(psf)and the column load will be on the order of 150 kips. The finished floor elevation will be close to
existing ground surface and thus cut or fill will be minimal.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of our investigation is to develop geotechnical recommendations regarding the proposed
development. Specifically,our services included:
1_ Attend meetings.
2. Review existing regional and local geologic information;reports,and-studies relevant to the project
design.
3. Explore the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site by the drilling of three soil test
borings_
4. Perform a laboratory testing program which includes torvane shear and consolidation tests on soft and
compressible soils.
1 104rpt S&EE
5_ Evaluate subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and provide recommendations regarding:
• Preload of slab area
1 • Pile foundation for building support
L
• Soil pressures for retaining wall design
• Earthwork
6. Preparation of this written report documenting our findings and recommendations.
2.0 SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 SITE HISTORY&GEOLOGY
Boeing Renton Plant is located on the alluvial fan of Cedar River where it discharges into Lake
Washington_ The native soils in the area consist of loose and unconsolidated alluvial sediments extending
to 100 feet or more in depth. During WW 11, the plant area was leveled by about 2 to 5 feet thick of fill.
The native soils immediately under the fill include soft and compressible silt and loose sand. Groundwater
level is typically about 4 to 6 feet below the ground surface.
The project site is located about 1/2 miles to the south of Lake Washington shoreline and 300 feet to the
east of Cedar River_ The site grade is relatively flat. Currently, the western portion of the proposed
building area is an asphalt-paved parking lot. The eastern portion of the area includes a covered walkway
and a service area_ This service area has a concrete slab that is about 50 feet in width and parallel the west
side of 4-75 building.
Published geologic map(USGS Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County, Washington by D. R.
Mullineaux, 1965) indicates that the majority of Renton area has been modified by past grading activities.
Cedar River have meandered through various portions of the city since last glaciations and deposited alluvial
soils. The upper portion of these soils is typically soft and unconsolidated_ A liquefaction map(Preliminary
Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of the Renton Quadrangle, Washington by Stephen Palmer)indicates that the
project area has high liquefaction susceptibility.
Seattle Fault Plate 1, which is included at the end of this report, shows that Seattle Fault is the prominent
active fault closest to the site_ The fault is a collective term for a series of four or more east-west-trending,
south-dipping fault strands underlying the Seattle area. This thrust fault zone is approximately 2 to 4 miles
11041N 2 S&EE
wide (north-south) and extends from the Kitsap Peninsula near Bremerton on the west to the Sammamish
Plateau east of Lake Sammamish on the east. The four fault strands have been interpolated from over-
water geophysical surveys(Johnson, et al_„ 1999) and, consequently, the exact locations on land have yet
to be determined or verified. Recent geologic evidence suggests that movement on this fault zone occurred
about 1,100 years ago,and the earthquake it produced was on the order of a magnitude 7.5.
I`
3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS AT THE PROJECT AREA
We have retained a sub-contractor to perform three soil test borings. The boring locations are shown on
Figure 2 at the end of this report and the boring logs are presented on Figures A-I through A-3 in
Appendix A. A Soil Classification Chart and Key to Boring Logs are shown at the end of the appendix.
Our boringB-1 was drilled near the southeast corner of the proposed 4-68 building. The boring found 4
P P� g g
inches thick concrete over soft silt(no base). Our borings B-2 and B-3 were drilled in the existing parking lot
and near the center and northwest corner of the proposed building, respectively. Both borings found about 3
inches thick asphalt pavement over 1.5 to 2.5 feet of compacted recycled concrete. The parking lot was built
in 2004 and our field representatives were onsite at the time to monitor the earthwork. Our record shows that
the base material was generally compacted to at least 95% compaction. The construction drawing shows a
pavement section of one inch thick asphalt over one inch thick top course and 6 inches thick base course_
Based on our knowledge of the parking lot construction, we believe that recycled concrete was used to fill
portions of the lot.
A soil profile is shown in Figure 3. The profile indicates that subsoils in the project area include alluvial soils
extending to the maximum boring depth (100 feet). The soils include inter-bedded silt, silty sand, sand and
gravel. In general, the soils are soft and loose from the ground surface to depths of 40 to 50 feet. Also, the
upper 10 to 20 feet of soils are very soft, very loose and compressible. Similar but slightly denser or stiffer
soils present below a depth of 50 feet.and,extend to a depth of 75 feet. From 75 feet down, the soil,becomes
dense to very dense sand, silty sand and gravel. These dense soils.are underlain by soft to stiff silts near the
depth of 100 feet.

4.0 LABORATORY TEST
Undisturbed soil samples were retrieved from the compressible silt and peat layers using Shelby tubes. The
samples were transported to our sub-contracted soil laboratory, HWA in Bothell, WA for moisture content,
torvane shear and consolidation tests. The test results are included in Appendix B. The test results show that
the silt and peat have very low shear strength and moderate to high compressibility.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
1. The subsurface soils at the site include soft and loose, un-consolidated alluvial soils from the
ground surface to depths of 40 to 50 feet. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility
these soils are not suitable for the support of conventional spread footings_ Augereast piles are
recommended for building support. The piles should extend to a depth of 80 feet measuring from
the current ground surface.
2. The results of our settlement analyses show maximum settlements of 4 to 6 inches under the
proposed floor load. We believe this settlement is excessive and thus recommend preloading the
slab area to pre-induce the ground settlement. To avoid down drag forces on piles the preload
should be conducted prior to pile installation_
3. The corridor between the existing 4-75 Building and new 4-68 Building should not be preloaded.
This is to avoid excessive settlement of the footings that support the 4-75 building" Since a floor
load of 500 psf will apply to the new slab in this corridor, we recommend that the slab in this
corridor be structurally supported on piles.
4. The upper 40 feet or so of the subsoils are loose and liquefaction prone_ Recent studies show that
liquefaction can also occur in fine-grained(silty and clayey)soils during strong earthquakes.(Bray,
1_D_, et. al. 2004). The proposed pile foundation would effectively mitigate the impact of
liquefaction on building support. However, liquefaction induced sand boils and uneven ground
settlements will threaten the slab-on-grade. As such, reinforcements in slab-on-grade should be
considered.
Details of our recommendations are presented in the following sections.
5.2 PRELOAD
The preload program should begin by removing the concrete slabs between the 4-75 and 4-68 buildings and
along the covered walkway. The asphalt pavement in the existing parking lot can remain during the
preload pepod, but it should be broken into pieces of less than 10 feet by 10 feet in size. The soils
immediately below the concrete and asphalt are compressible and vary horizontally. Removing the
1 to4rpt 5 S&EE
r=
i�
concrete slab and breaking the asphalt pavement will promote uniform ground settlement and avoid
bridging effect over non-uniform subgrade reaction_
r
The preload should consist of non-structural fill soil that is at least 5 feet in thickness. The fill should be
placed to have a minimum in-place density of 120 pcf(pounds per cubic feet)and be compacted to the extent
that the fill can support the construction equipment. The surface should be graded for surface drainage. There
should be 1 H:1 V side slopes and the edge/top of the one-to-one slope should extend 5"feet beyond the
proposed south,west and north building lines,and in-line with the east building line.
Based on our evaluations,the maximum ground settlement under the preload wilf be on the order of 6.5 inches
and will take about 8 to 10 week to reach maturity_ Plate 2, at the end of this report, shows the predicted
ground settlement from the center of the preload area toward the edge/top of the 1:1 slope and beyond. Plate 3
shows parts of the same curve but only the settlement beyond the edge/top of the 1:1 slope. Please note that
the predicted ground settlement at the west side of 4-75 building line is 0.7 inches.
A total of 3 settlement monitoring markers in the preload area and a total of 5 monitoring points on the 4-75
building wall should be installed prior to the placement of preload fill. The approximate locations of these
monitoring stations are shown on Figure 2. A sketch showing the settlement marker is included in Plate 4.
The movement of these monitoring stations should be surveyed initially (prior to the placement of preload),
once every day for the first 5 days, and once every week thereafter. The survey results should be transmitted
to our office within 24 hours. We will determine the termination of the preload period upon theoretical
(about 90%)maturity is reached.
Subgrade Preparation: Upon preload completion the preload soil and broken asphalt should be removed.
The area to the west of the existing 4-75 building may have a silt or silty sand exposed at the subgrade, that
is, no granular base_ In this case, the subgrade should be over-excavated 6 inches and the over-excavation
backfilled with 1-1/4" minus crushed rock. Same rock should be used to fill any low area. The crushed
rock should be placed in 8 to 10 inches thick lifts and each lift be compacted to a firm and non-yielding
condition by a vibratory roller weighing at least 10 tons. All other areas should be re-compacted to a firm
and non-yielding condition using the same compactor.

5.3 PILE FOUNDATION
I�
1 During the course of the project design, a few pile options were discussed and considered. We believe and
Boeing concurs that augercast piles are best suited for the building support. The piles should be 18-inches
in diameter and have a length of 80 feet, measuring from the existing_ground surface. This length will
allow the pile tips be embedded at least 5 feet in a dense layer that consists of sand, silty sand or gravel,
and at least 15 feet above a soft silt layer.
Pile Capacities: The pile will develop a downward capacity of 180 kips and upward capacity of 90 kips.
These values include a safety factor of 3 and have considered the effect of liquefaction. The capacities can
be increased by 1/3 when considering the transient loads such as wind or seismic forces_ We recommend
that all piles are spaced at least 3 pile diameters ON CENTER.
Additional Lateral Resistance: Additional resistance to lateral loads will be provided by passive soil pressure
against the pile caps and grade beams_ Assuming that structural fill is used for the backfill,an equivalent fluid
density of 200 pounds per cubic foot(pcf)maybe used for design. The criteria for the structural fill are
presented in Section 5.5 of this report.
Pile Settlements: Pile settlement will result from elastic compression of the piles and the supporting soils.
The settlement is estimated to be about 1/2,and will occur rapidly,essentially as the loads are applied.
Respignse to Lateral Load: We have evaluated the responses of the pile using a computer program COM624
(A non-commercial program similar to LPILE and developed by Lymon Reese, et. al.for Federal Highway
Administration, 1991). Our evaluations show that for a fixed head condition, the pile will have lateral
capacities of I I kips when the pile heads are moved 1/2 inches. The soil profile and parameters utilized for
the analyses,along with the computer outputs are included in Appendix C.
Group effect for lateral capacity reduction should apply. That is, the capacity of the trailing pile.should be
reduced by 60% when spaced at 3 pile diameter. Group action diminishes at a pile spacing of 7 pile
diameters and the reduction can be lineally interpreted in between.
Pile Reinforcement: Due to the presence of liquefaction zone in the upper 1/2 of the pile length, we
recommend that the upper 2/3 of the pile be reinforced with a rebar cage and the entire length be reinforced
with a center bar.
1 104rpt 7 S&EE
r
Pile Installation_ Cement grout must be pumped continuously during withdrawal of the auger, the rate of
fwhich should not exceed about 5 to 8 feet per minute_ Also, at least 8 feet of grout head must be
maintained during the entire withdrawal. We anticipate that the grout volume discharged from the pump to
be about 1.2 to 1.5 times the theoretical volume of the drilled hole. The grout volume is usually obtained
i;
by counting the number of pump strokes. The grout pressure at the pump should be maintained in the
range of 150 to 350 psi, depending on the length of the feeder hose used. The drilling contractor should
provide pressure gages at the pump prior to drilling.
For adjacent piles that are less than 5 feet clear space,the minimum waiting period is I2 hours.
Quality Control: The following quality control measures must be implemented by the piling contractor.
I) Prior to pile installation, the contractor should calibrate the grout pump by filling a 55-gallon
drum. This calibration should be performed three times and approved by the onsite geotechnical
engineer.
2) The rebar cage should be equipped with centralizers and the cage should be plumb before
inserting into the drilled-hole. Single cable hooked on one side of the cage, or any other mean
resulting in tilting of the cage is not allowed_
3) The cage should sink to the design depth by its own weight_ Pushing the cage down by machine
is not allowed- If grout de-hydration or any other reason preventing cage installation, the hole
should be re-drilled and re-grouted.
4) Pile installation should be monitored by an engineer from our office. Our field representative will
evaluate the adequacy of the construction methods and procedures. Any problems which might
arise,or deviations from the specifications, will be considered during our evaluations and approval
of each pile installed.

5.4 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Lateral earth pressures on retaining walls or permanent subsurface walls, and resistance to lateral loads may
be estimated using the following recommended soil parameters:

P I I K_ i n
Note: 1)Hydrostatic pressures are not included in the above lateral earth pressures. —k I-S r �.
2)Lateral earth pressures are appropriate for level structural fill placed behind and in front of walls.
The active case applies to walls that are permitted to rotate or translate away from the retained soil by
approximately 0.002H, where H is the height of the wall. This would be appropriate for a cantilever reta-
wall. The at-rest case applies to unyielding walls, and would be appropriate for wall
restrained from lateral deflection such as basement walls, utility trenches or pits.
SURCHARGE INDUCED LATERAL LOADS
Additional lateral earth pressures will result from surcharge loads from floor slabs or pavements for parking
that are located immediately adjacent to the walls. The surcharge-induced lateral earth pressures are uniform
over the depth of the wall. Surcharge-induced lateral pressures for the "active" case may be calculated by
multiplying the applied vertical pressure(in psf)by the active earth pressure coefficient(Ka).The value of Ka
may be taken as 0.4. The surcharge-induced lateral pressures for the "at-rest" case are similarly calculated
using an at-rest earth pressure coefficient(Ko)of 0-6.
SEISMIC INDUCED LATERAL LOADS
For seismic induced lateral loads,the dynamic force can be assumed to act at 0.6 H above the wall base and
/"'the magnitude can be calculated using the following equation:
AO PC = 14H
Where PC = seismic-induced lateral load
H = wall height
1104ro 9 S&EE
l
rr BACKFILL IN FRONT OF RETAINING WALLS
Backfill in front of the wall should be structural fill. The material and compaction requirements are presented
in Section 5.5_ The density of the structural fill can be assumed to be 130 pounds per cubic feet.
BACKFILL BEHIND RETAINING WALLS
Backfill behind the wall should be free-draining materials which are typically granular soils containing less
than 5 percent fines(silt and clay particles)and no particles greater than 4 inches in diameter. The backfill
material should be placed in 6 to 8-inch thick horizontal lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum density in accordance with ASTM D-1557 test procedures. In the areas where the fill will support
pavement,sidewalk or slabs,the top two feet of the backfill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the
maximum density. Care must be taken when compacting backfill adjacent to retaining walls,to avoid creating
excessive pressure on the wall.
DRAINAGE BEHIND RETAINING WALLS
Unless the wall is designed to support hydrostatic pressure, rigid, perforated drainpipes should be installed
behind retaining walls. Drainpipes should be at least 4 inches in diameter,covered by a layer of uniform size
drain gravel of at least 12 inches in thickness,and be connected to a suitable discharge location_ An adequate
number of cleanouts should be installed along the drain line for future maintenance.
5.5 STRUCTURAL FILL
Structural fill materials should meet both the material and compaction requirements presented below.
Material Requirements: Structural fill should be free of organic and frozen material and should
consist of hard durable particles, such as sand, gravel, or quarry-processed stone_ Due to their silty
nature the on-site soils are not suitable for structural fill. Suitable imported structural fill materials
include silty sand, sand, mixture of sand and gravel (pitrun), and crushed rock. All structural fill
material should be approved by an engineer from our office prior to use_
Placement and Compaction Requirements: Structural fill should be placed in loose horizontal lifts not
exceeding a thickness of 6 to 12 inches, depending on the material type, compaction equipment, and
number of passes made by the equipment. Structural fill should be compacted to at least 95%of the
maximum dry density as determined using the ASTM D-1557 test procedures.
1104rpt 10 S&EE
Prior to the placement of any structural fill, the subgrades of slab, pavement, and any other structural areas
including sidewalks and driveway should,be thoroughly compacted. A vibratory roller compactor weighing
at least 12 tons should be used for the compaction. The roller should travel with a casual walking speed and
roll at least 6 times in two perpendicular directions. The compaction should be monitored by an engineer
from our office. Any detected soft pockets should be over-excavated and backfilled with structural fill_
5.6 FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
Assuming that the site subgrade is prepared according to recommendations presented in this report, we
believe that the prepared subgrade will have a California Bearing Ratio(CBR)of at least 8_ The following
paving sections are recommended.
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
For light traffic
(Daily EAL=5 or less; few vehicles heavier than passenger cars no regular use by 2 or 3-axle trucks)
Recommended section: 2 inches asphaltic concrete over 6 inches base.course.
For medium traffic
(Daily EAL=20 to 80;maximum 2,000 vehicles per day, including not over 10%2 or 3-axle trucks)
Recommended section: 3 inches asphaltic concrete over 8 inches base course_
5.7 TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT EXCAVATIONS
When temporary excavations are required during construction, the contractor should be responsible for the
safety of their personnel and equipment. The followings cut angles are provided only as a general reference:
Temporary excavations should be sloped no steeper than 1.51-1:1 V(one horizontal to one vertical). The slope
should continue from top to bottom (without vertical cut). Flatter slopes for all temporary cuts may be
required if seepage occurs.
All permanent slopes should be no steeper than 2H:IV. Water should not be allowed to flow uncontrolled
over the top of any slope. Also, all permanent slopes should be seeded with the appropriate species of
vegetation to reduce erosion and maintain the slope stability.
t 104rpt 11 S&E E
5.8 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND HAZARDS
We recommend that Site Class E as defined in the 2009 IBC be considered for the seismic design. Our
evaluations show that the subsoils below groundwater table and to a depth of about 40 feet are liquefaction
prone during strong.ear.hquakes (M = 7.5). The pile foundations recommended in this report will mitigate
the impact of liquefaction on building support. However,damage to the slab-on-grade should be anticipated.
The`site is located about 1/2 miles from the lake shore and 300 feet from the river channel_ Our evaluations
r indicate that the risk of lateral spread is very low.
6.0 CLOSURE
The recommendations presented in this report are provided for design purposes and are based on soil
conditions disclosed by field observations and subsurface explorations_ Subsurface information presented
herein does not constitute a direct or implied warranty that the soil conditions between exploration locations
can be directly interpolated or extrapolated or that subsurface conditions and soil variations different from
those disclosed by the explorations will not be revealed_ 'Be recommendations outlined in this report are
based on the assumption that the development plan is consistent with the description provided in this report. If
the development plan is changed or subsurface conditions different from those disclosed by the exploration
are observed during construction,we should be advised at once so that we can review these'conditions,and if
necessary,reconsider our design recommendations.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LOGS OF BORINGS
The soil strata at the project site were explored with the drilling of three soil test borings, B-I to B-3 on
February 28 through March 3, 2011. The borings were,advanced using mud rotary technique by a truck-
mounted drill rig. A representative from S&EE was present throughout the exploration to observe the
drilling operations, log subsurface soil conditions, obtain soil samples, and to prepare descriptive
F_
geologic logs of the exploration. Disturbed soil samples were taken at 2.5-and 5-foot intervals in general
accordance with ASTM D-1586, "Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of
Soils" (1.4" I.D. sampler). The penetration test involves driving the samplers 18 inches into the ground
at the bottom of the borehole with a 140 pounds hammer dropping 30 inches. The numbers of blows
needed for the samplers to penetrate each 6 inches are recorded and are presented on the boring logs.
The sum of the number of blows required for the second and third 6 inches of penetration is termed
"standard penetration resistance", "blow count" or the "N-value". In cases where 50 blows are
insufficient to advance it through a 6 inches interval the penetration after 50 blows is recorded. The blow
count provides an indication of the density or consistency of the subsoil,and it is used in many empirical
geotechnical engineering formulae. The following table provides a general correlation of blow count
with density and consistency.
DENSITY(GRANULAR SOILS) CONSISTENCY(FINE-GRAINED SOILS)
N-value <4 very loose N-value <2 very soft
5-10 loose 3-4 soft
1 1-30 medium dense 5-8 medium stiff
31-50 dense 9-15 stiff
>50 very dense 16-30 very stiff
>30 hard
Undisturbed soil samples were retrieved by Shelby tubes. The depth of Shelby tube samples are shown
on the boring logs. After the boring was terminated, the borehole was backfilled with bentonite chips.
One groundwater monitoring well was installed in Boring B-3_ The well was built with 2-inch diameter,
20-foot long PVC pipe. The bottom 10 feet of the pipe was slotted and a sand was used to backfill
around the slotted pipe. All soil cuttings and drill fluid were placed in 50-gallon drums which were
stored onsite.
The boring logs are included in this appendix. A chart showing the Unified Soil Classification System is
included at the end of this appendix.

Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
1.0 Introduction
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared as part of the NPDES
—Stormwater General Permit requirements for the Boeing Renton BFE Building project located
at 800 Logan Avenue North in Renton,Washington. This SWPPP was prepared using Ecology
guidelines and is based on the requirements set forth in the construction Stormwater General
Permit and Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMM-WW
2005). The NPDES—Stormwater General Permit(WAR124769) is included in Appendix A.
The site is located at the southwestern quadrant of the Boeing Renton Facility Approximately
4.5 acres will be disturbed for the construction of a new 75,000sf building. This work will require
removal and relocation of existing utilities, site preloading, demolition of the existing parking lot,
excavation, grading, vertical building construction, installation of new utilities, and final
stabilization with hardscape or landscape features.
The purpose of this SWPPP is to describe the proposed construction activities and all temporary
and permanent erosion and sediment control (TESC) measures, pollution prevention measures,
inspection/monitoring activities, and recordkeeping that will be implemented during the
proposed construction project. The objectives of the SWPPP are to:
1. Implement Best Management Practices(BMPs)to prevent erosion and
sedimentation, and to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater
contamination and water pollution from construction activity.
2. Prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or
sediment management standards.
3. Prevent, during the construction phase, adverse water quality impacts
including impacts on beneficial uses of the receiving water by controlling
peak flow rates and volumes of stormwater runoff at the Permittee's
outfalls and downstream of the outfalls.
This SWPPP has been customized for the Boeing Renton BFE Building project and is intended
to be used with the project construction specifications and approved temporary erosion and
sediment control (TESC)notes and drawings. Pertinent plans sheets and site drawings are
included after this narrative. Information in this SWPPP is divided into the following seven
sections:
■ Section 1 — INTRODUCTION. This section provides a summary description of the
project, and the organization of the SWPPP document.
■ Section 2—SITE DESCRIPTION. This section provides a detailed description of the
existing site conditions, proposed construction activities, and calculated stormwater flow
rates for existing conditions and post-construction conditions.

Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
■ Section 3—CONSTRUCTION BMPs. This section provides a detailed description of the
BMPs to be implemented based on the 12 required elements of the SWPPP
(SWMMWW 2005).
■ Section 4—CONSTRUCTION PHASING AND BMP IMPLEMENTATION. This section
provides a description of the timing of the BMP implementation in relation to the project
schedule.
■ Section 5— POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM. This section identifies the appropriate
contact names (emergency and non-emergency), monitoring personnel, and the onsite
temporary erosion and sedimentation control inspector
■ Section 6— INSPECTION AND MONITORING. This section provides a description of
the inspection and monitoring requirements such as the parameters of concern to be
monitored, sample locations, sample frequencies, and sampling methods for all
stormwater discharge locations from the site.
■ Section 7— RECORDKEEPING. This section describes the requirements for
documentation of the BMP implementation, site inspections, monitoring results, and
changes to the implementation of certain BMPs due to site factors experienced during
construction.
■ Supporting documentation and standard forms are provided in the following Appendices:

2.0 Site Description
2.1 Existing Conditions
The proposed site is located in the southwest portion of the Boeing Renton Facility located at
800 Logan Avenue North in Renton,Washington. A vicinity map is provided in Appendix B.
The new building location is currently a parking lot west of Building 4-75. Site topography is flat
Soils are a combination of fill materials and native glacial till.
Runoff generated in the project area is collected in the existing storm drain system and drains to
Lake Washington. The Boeing Renton Facility is bordered by the Cedar River to the West and
Lake Washington to the north.
2.2 Proposed Construction Activities
This project will proceed in two phases. The first phase consists of utility removal/relocation and
site preloading. Utilities to be removed and or relocated include but are not limited to water,
sewer, storm, electrical, natural gas, telephone and fiber optics. The majority of work in this
phase involves trenching and backfill as well as placement of soil to preload the future building
footprint. The second phase of the project consists of vertical building construction and
associated landscape and hardscape features. The schedule and phasing of BMPs during
construction is provided in Section 4.0.
A summary of site run-off volumes for the two phases of construction are shown below. All
stormwater calculations are provided in Appendix C.
■ Disturbed Soil 4.5 acres
■ CN 0.936
■ 10 year 24-hour storm event volume 331,661 gallons
■ 100 year 24-hour storm event volume 450,602 gallons
■ Detention Tank(s) (if used) TBD

3.0 Construction Stormwater BMPs
3.1 The 12 BMP Elements
The following section describes the BMPs to be implemented onsite to control sediment and
stormwater. In addition alternate BMPs are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool for
the onsite inspector in the event the BMP(s) listed below are deemed ineffective or
inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the construction
specifications. To avoid potential erasion and sediment control issues that may cause a water
quality violation, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the
implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs listed in Appendix C after the first sign
that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
3.1.1 Element#1 —Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits
of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to
be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in
the field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in
an undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible.
Site specific BMPs:
• Preserving Natural Vegetation (BMP C101)
■ High Visibility Plastic or Metal Fence (BMP C103)
Alternate/Additional BMPs:
• N/A
3.1.2 Element#2— Establish Construction Access
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary,access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent
sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site.
If sediment is tracked off site, public roads shall be cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day
as a minimum, or more frequently during wet weather. Sediment shall be removed from roads
by shoveling or sweeping and be transported to a controlled sediment disposal area.
April 15,2011 8
Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Site specific BMPs:
• Stabilized Construction Entrance (BMP C105)
■ Construction Road Stabilization (BMP C107)
Alternate/Additional BMPs:
■ Tirewash (BMP C106)
3.1.3 Element#3—Control Flow Rates
In order to protect the properties and waterways downstream of the project site, stormwater
discharges from the site will be controlled.
Stormwater detention facilities shall be constructed or mobilized as one of the first steps in
grading. Detention facilities shall be functional prior to construction of site improvements.
Site specific BMPs:
■ Portable Water Storage Tank(s)
Altemate/Additional BMPs:
■ Interceptor Dike & Swale (BMP C200)
■ Water Bars (BMP C 203)
■ Check Dams (BMP C207)
In general, dewatering from trenching activities will be routed to the sanitary sewer after treating
to remove settleable solids. During the preload phase stormwater runoff will be directed to the
storm drain system, assuming the runoff meets discharge requirements. Detention tanks may
be required depending on season of work, phase of construction and water quality. Discharge
rates of stormwater from the site will be controlled as necessary to meet local agency
stormwater discharge requirements if necessary.
3.1.4 Element#4— Install Sediment Controls
All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal

All dewatering water from open cut excavation, tunneling, foundation work, trench, or
underground vaults shall be discharged into a controlled conveyance system prior to discharge
to a sediment trap, sediment pond or detention tank. Channels if used will be stabilized per
Section 3.1.8.
April 15,2011 13
Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Clean, non-turbid dewatering water will not be routed through stormwater sediment ponds, and
will be discharged to systems tributary to the receiving waters of the State in a manner that does
not cause erosion, flooding, or a violation of State water quality standards in the receiving water.
Dewatering of soils known to be free of contamination will trigger BMPs to trap sediment and
reduce turbidity. Site specific sediment trapping BMPs to be implemented are discussed in
Section 3.1.4. Additional BMPs that can be used for sediment trapping and turbidity reduction
include the following:
■ Infiltration/dispersal to a vegetated area of appropriate size

3.1.12 Element#12—Manage the Project
Erosion and sediment control BMPs for this project have been designed based on the following
principles:
■ Design the project to fit the existing topography, soils, and drainage patterns.
■ Emphasize erosion control rather than sediment control.
■ Minimize the extent and duration of the area exposed.
■ Keep runoff velocities low.
■ Retain sediment on site.
■ Thoroughly monitor site and maintain all ESC measures.
■ Schedule major earthwork during the dry season.
Phasing of Construction:
■ The construction project is being phased to the extent practicable in order to prevent soil
erosion, and, to the maximum extent possible,the transport of sediment from the site
during construction.
■ Revegetation of exposed areas and maintenance of that vegetation shall be an integral
part of the clearing activities during each phase of construction, per the Scheduling BMP
(C 162).
Seasonal Work Limitations:
From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities shall only
be permitted if shown to the satisfaction of the local permitting authority that silt-laden runoff will
be prevented from leaving the site through a combination of the following:
■ Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type, and proximity to
receiving waters; and
■ Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and
■ Proposed erosion and sediment control measures.
Based on the information provided and/or local weather conditions, the local permitting authority
may expand or restrict the seasonal limitation on site disturbance.
The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing and grading limitations:
■ Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs;
• Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose
the soil or result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil; and
■ Activities where there is 100 percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the site in
approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities.
April 15,201 l 17
Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Coordination with Utilities and Other Jurisdictions:
Care has been taken to coordinate with utilities, other construction projects, and the local
jurisdiction in preparing this SWPPP and scheduling the construction work.
Inspection and Monitoring:
■ All BMPs shall be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued
performance of their intended function. Site inspections shall be conducted by a person
who is knowledgeable in the principles and practices of erosion and sediment control.
This person has the necessary skills to:
■ Assess the site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of
stormwater, and
■ Assess the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the
quality of stormwater discharges.
■ A Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead shall be on-site or on-call at all times.
■ Whenever inspection and/or monitoring reveals that the BMPs identified in this SWPPP
are inadequate, due to the actual discharge of or potential to discharge a significant
amount of any pollutant, appropriate BMPs or design changes shall be implemented as
soon as possible.
Maintaining an Updated Construction SWPPP:
■ This SWPPP shall be retained on-site or within reasonable access to the site.
■ The SWPPP shall be modified whenever there is a change in the 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 shall be modified if, during inspections or investigations conducted by the
owner/operator, or the applicable local or state regulatory authority, it is determined that
the SWPPP is ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in
stormwater discharges from the site. The SWPPP shall be modified as necessary to
include additional or modified BMPs designed to correct problems identified. Revisions
to the SWPPP shall be completed within seven (7)days following the inspection.

3.2 Stormwater Management
Site stormwater will in the excavation will gravity flow to a collection trench and discharge to the
designated discharge location (stormwater run-off to storm system, groundwater to sanitary
sewer). If work extends into the wet season (past September 15th)detention tanks may be
necessary to proceed through the winter. No discharge to the sanitary sewer will occur without
appropriate authorization from Boeing and/or the local sewer district. Additional considerations
for stormwater management include:
• A clean pump point will be installed and relocated as work progresses.
• Water from the clean pump point will be dispersed to vegetated areas adjacent to the
work area in a manner that does not cause erosion or sheet flow back to disturbed
areas.
• If the water encountered in the trench is highly turbid, chitosan gel floc logs may be used
inline between the pump and detention tank to improve water clarity. This treatment
method is only applicable for water that will be discharged to the sanitary sewer. Gel
Floc logs are not approved for use where discharge will be to surface waters of the State
(storm system, ditch, creek, stream, lake, wetland).
• If the pH is higher than allowable discharge limits (due to contact with fresh concrete) dry
ice or CO2 may be used to reduce the pH to allowable levels (BMP C252).
• Clean stormwater from areas surrounding the excavation/work area should be diverted
around the disturbed areas with sand bag berms or equivalent.

6.0 Site Inspections and Monitoring
Monitoring includes visual inspection, monitoring for water quality parameters of concern and
documentation of the inspection and monitoring 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 quality monitoring
For convenience, the inspection form and water quality monitoring forms included in this
SWPPP include the required information for the site log book. This SWPPP may function as the
site log book if desired, or the forms may be separated and included in a separate site log book.
However, if separated, the site log book but must be maintained on-site or within reasonable
access to the site and be made available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
The City of Renton may require additional monitoring based on site and soil conditions. These
will be met in addition to the Ecology requirements. When possible a monitoring event may
satisfy both the City and Ecology requirements.
6.1 Site Inspection
All BMPs will be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued
performance of their intended function. The inspector will be a Certified Erosion and Sediment
Control Lead (CESCL) per BMP C160. The name and contact information for the CESCL is
provided in Section 5 of this SWPPP.
Site inspection will occur in all areas disturbed by construction activities and at all stormwater
discharge points. Stormwater will be examined for the presence of suspended sediment,
turbidity, discoloration, and oily sheen. The site inspector will evaluate and document the
effectiveness of the installed BMPs and determine if it is necessary to repair or replace any of
the BMPs to improve the quality of stormwater discharges. All maintenance and repairs will be
documented in the site log book or forms provided in this document. All new BMPs or design
changes will be documented in the SWPPP as soon as possible.
6.1.1 Site Inspection Frequency
Site inspections will be conducted at least once a week and within 24 hours following any
rainfall event which causes a discharge of stormwater from the site. For sites with temporary
stabilization measures, the site inspection frequency can be reduced to once every month.
6.1.2 Site Inspection Documentation
The site inspector will record each site inspection using the site log inspection forms provided in
Appendix F. The site inspection log forms may be separated from this SWPPP document, but
April 15,2011 22
Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
will be maintained on-site or within reasonable access to the site and be made available upon
request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
During construction site water will be collected in the excavation. If needed a stormwater
treatment system will be implemented for turbidity and pH reduction. Turbidity and pH values
will be measured at the point of discharge to the two points shown on the TESC plans.
Additional monitoring points may be added if necessary. All measurements will be read with
approved field meters or automatically logged if using a treatment system. All measurements
will be recorded and will be made available to the owner, City or Renton and/or state stormwater
inspectors upon request.
6.2.1 Turbidity Sampling
Ecology requires turbidity sampling on all sites disturbing one or more acres. Sampling will be
conducted as follows:
Sampling will occur at least once every calendar week when stormwater is discharging
from the site.
When there is no discharge during a calendar week, sampling is not required
Sampling is not required outside of normal working hours or during unsafe conditions. If
a permittee is not able to sample during a monitoring period, the Discharge Monitoring
report(DMR) shall include a brief explanation.
Sampling is required at all discharge points where stormwater is discharged off site (see
attached plans for monitoring locations).
Turbidity shall be read with a calibrated turbidimeter and read as nephelometric turbidity
units (ntu).
•3 Readings will be summarized on the Inspection Report which will be kept in the Site Log
Book
Ecology has set two benchmarks for turbidity, 25 ntu and 250 ntu. Table 2 explains the
necessary actions required based on the measured turbidity value. These actions are taken
from Section S4.C.5 of the Construction Stormwater General Permit.

6.2.2 pH Sampling
This site is subject to pH monitoring because significant concrete work(>1000cy of poured or
recycled concrete)will occur and/or engineered soils will be used on the project. Approximately
22,000 cy of concrete will be used on this site.
pH monitoring will be performed as follows:
During the pH monitoring period (see Table 3), pH sampling and analysis will occur
weekly. Monitoring will be most critical from July— December 2011.
Sampling will occur in the sediment trap/pond(s) or other locations that receive
stormwater fun-off from the area of concrete/engineered soils prior to discharge to
surface waters.
April 15,2011 24
Boeing—Renton Building 4-68 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
pH benchmark is 8.5 Standard Units. Any time sampling indicates that the pH is higher
than 8.5 the following will occur:
• Prevent high pH water from entering storm system or surface waters
• If necessary adjust or neutralize the high pH water with CO2 sparging or dry
ice. The permittee shall obtain written approval for the use of any other
chemical treatment
pH analysis will be performed on site with a calibrated pH meter, pH test kit or wide
range pH indicator paper.

Appendix D — Construction BMPs
Chapter 4 - Standards and Specifications for Best
Management Practices
Best Management Practices (BMPs)are defined as schedules of activities,
prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and structural and/or
managerial practices, that when used singly or in combination, prevent or
reduce the release of pollutants to waters of Washington State. This
chapter contains standards and specifications for temporary BMPs to be
used as applicable during the construction phase of a project.
Section 4.1 contains the standards and specifications for Source Control
BMPs.
Section 4.2 contains the standards and specifications for Runoff
Conveyance and Treatment BMPs.
The standards for each individual BMP are divided into four sections:
1. Purpose
2. Conditions of Use
3. Design and Installation Specifications
4. Maintenance Standards
Note that the"Conditions of Use"always refers to site conditions. As site
conditions change, BMPs must be changed to remain in compliance.
Information on streambank stabilization is available in the Integrated
Streambank Protection Guidelines, Washington State Department of Fish
and Wildlife, 2000.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-1
4.1 Source Control BMPs
BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
Purpose The purpose of preserving natural vegetation is to reduce erosion wherever
practicable. Limiting site disturbance is the single most effective method
for reducing erosion. For example,conifers can hold up to about 50
percent of all rain that falls during a storm. Up to 20-30 percent of this rain
may never reach the ground but is taken up by the tree or evaporates.
Another benefit is that the rain held in the tree can be released slowly to the
ground after the storm.
Conditions of Use • Natural vegetation should be preserved on steep slopes, near
perennial and intermittent watercourses or swales, and on building
sites in wooded areas.
• As required by local governments.
Design and Natural vegetation can be preserved in natural clumps or as individual
Installation trees, shrubs and vines.
Specifications
The preservation of individual plants is more difficult because heavy
equipment is generally used to remove unwanted vegetation. The points
to remember when attempting to save individual plants are:
• Is the plant worth saving? Consider the location,species, size,age,
vigor,and the work involved. Local governments may also have
ordinances to save natural vegetation and trees.
• Fence or clearly mark areas around trees that are to be saved. It is
preferable to keep ground disturbance away from the trees at least as
far out as the dripline.
Plants need protection from three kinds of injuries:
• Construction Equipment-This injury can be above or below the
ground level. Damage results from scarring,cutting of roots, and
compaction of the soil. Placing a fenced buffer zone around plants to
be saved prior to construction can prevent construction equipment
injuries.
• Grade Changes -Changing the natural ground level will alter grades,
which affects the plant's ability to obtain the necessary air, water, and
minerals. Minor fills usually do not cause problems although
sensitivity between species does vary and should be checked. Trees
can tolerate fill of 6 inches or less. For shrubs and other plants, the fill
should be less.
When there are major changes in grade, it may become necessary to
supply air to the roots of plants. This can be done by placing a layer of
gravel and a tile system over the roots before the fill is made. A tile
4-2 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
system protects a tree from a raised grade. The tile system should be
laid out on the original grade leading from a dry well around the tree
trunk. The system should then be covered with small stones to allow
- air to circulate over the root area.
Lowering the natural ground level can seriously damage trees and
shrubs. The highest percentage of the plant roots are in the upper 12
inches of the soil and cuts of only 2-3 inches can cause serious injury.
To protect the roots it may be necessary to terrace the immediate area
around the plants to be saved. If roots are exposed,construction of
retaining walls may be needed to keep the soil in place. Plants can
also be preserved by leaving them on an undisturbed, gently sloping
mound. To increase the chances for survival, it is best to limit grade
changes and other soil disturbances to areas outside the dripline of the
plant.
• Excavations- Protect trees and other plants when excavating for
drainfields,power, water,and sewer lines. Where possible, the
trenches should be routed around trees and large shrubs. When this is
not possible, it is best to tunnel under them. This can be done with
hand tools or with power augers. If it is not possible to route the
trench around plants to be saved,then the following should be
observed:
Cut as few roots as possible. When you have to cut,cut clean. Paint
cut root ends with a wood dressing like asphalt base paint.
Backfill the trench as soon as possible.
Tunnel beneath root systems as close to the center of the main trunk to
preserve most of the important feeder roots.
Some problems that can be encountered with a few specific trees are:
• Maple, Dogwood, Red alder, Western hemlock,Western red cedar,
and Douglas fir do not readily adjust to changes in environment and
special care should be taken to protect these trees.
• The windthrow hazard of Pacific silver fir and madronna is high,while
that of Western hemlock is moderate. The danger of windthrow
increases where dense stands have been thinned. Other species(unless
they are on shallow,wet soils less than 20 inches deep)have a low
windthrow hazard.
• Cottonwoods, maples,and willows have water-seeking roots. These
can cause trouble in sewer lines and infiltration fields. On the other
hand,they thrive in high moisture conditions that other trees would
not.
• Thinning operations in pure or mixed stands of Grand fir, Pacific silver
fir, Noble fir, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar,Western hemlock,
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-3
Pacific dogwood, and Red alder can cause serious disease problems.
Disease can become established through damaged limbs, trunks, roots,
and freshly cut stumps. Diseased and weakened trees are also
susceptible to insect attack.
Maintenance . Inspect flagged and/or fenced areas regularly to make sure flagging or
Standards fencing has not been removed or damaged. If the flagging or fencing
has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or
replaced immediately and visibility restored.
• If tree roots have been exposed or injured, "prune" cleanly with an
appropriate pruning saw or lopers directly above the damaged roots
and recover with native soils. Treatment of sap flowing trees (fir,
hemlock, pine, soft maples) is not advised as sap forms a natural
healing barrier.
4-4 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C102: Buffer Zones
Purpose An undisturbed area or strip of natural vegetation or an established
suitable planting that will provide a living filter to reduce soil erosion and
runoff velocities.
Conditions of Use Natural buffer zones are used along streams, wetlands and other bodies of
water that need protection from erosion and sedimentation. Vegetative
buffer zones can be used to protect natural swales and can be incorporated
into the natural landscaping of an area.
Critical-areas buffer zones should not be used as sediment treatment areas.
These areas shall remain completely undisturbed. The local permitting
authority may expand the buffer widths temporarily to allow the use of the
expanded area for removal of sediment.
Design and . Preserving natural vegetation or plantings in clumps,blocks,or strips
Installation is generally the easiest and most successful method.
Specifications Leave all unstable steep slopes in natural vegetation.
• Mark clearing limits and keep all equipment and construction debris
out of the natural areas. Steel construction fencing is the most
effective method in protecting sensitive areas and buffers.
Alternatively, wire-backed silt fence on steel posts is marginally
effective. Flagging alone is typically not effective.
• Keep all excavations outside the dripline of trees and shrubs.
• Do not push debris or extra soil into the buffer zone area because it
will cause damage from burying and smothering.
• Vegetative buffer zones for streams, lakes or other waterways shall be
established by the local permitting authority or other state or federal
permits or approvals.
Maintenance . Inspect the area frequently to make sure flagging remains in place
Standards and the area remains undisturbed.
February 2005 Volume Il-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-5
BMP C103: High Visibility Plastic or Metal Fence
Purpose Fencing is intended to: (1) restrict clearing to approved limits; (2) prevent
disturbance of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be
left undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated construction
entrances or roads; and, (4) protect areas where marking with survey tape
may not provide adequate protection.
Conditions of Use To establish clearing limits,plastic or metal fence may be used:
• At the boundary of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas
required to be left uncleared.
• As necessary to control vehicle access to and on the site.
Design and . High visibility plastic fence shall be composed of a high-density
Installation polyethylene material and shall be at least four feet in height. Posts
Specifications for the fencing shall be steel or wood and placed every 6 feet on
center(maximum)or as needed to ensure rigidity. The fencing shall
be fastened to the post every six inches with a polyethylene tie. On
long continuous lengths of fencing, a tension wire or rope shall be
used as a top stringer to prevent sagging between posts. The fence
color shall be high visibility orange. The fence tensile strength shall
be 360 lbs./ft. using the ASTM D4595 testing method.
• Metal fences shall be designed and installed according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
• Metal fences shall be at least 3 feet high and must be highly visible.
• Fences shall not be wired or stapled to trees.
Maintenance • If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be
Standards repaired or replaced immediately and visibility restored.
4-6 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C104: Stake and Wire Fence
Purpose Fencing is intended to: (1)restrict clearing to approved limits; (2) prevent
disturbance of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be
left undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated construction
entrances or roads; and, (4)protect any areas where marking with survey
tape may not provide adequate protection.
Conditions of Use To establish clearing limits, stake or wire fence may be used:
• At the boundary of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas
required to be left uncleared.
• As necessary, to control vehicle access to and on the site.
Design and . See Figure 4.1 for details.
Installation More substantial fencing shall be used if the fence does not prevent
Specifications encroachment into those areas that are not to be disturbed.
Maintenance • If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be
Standards repaired or replaced immediately and visibility restored.

BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance
Purpose Construction entrances are stabilized to reduce the amount of sediment
transported onto paved roads by vehicles or equipment by constructing a
stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances to construction sites.
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.
On large commercial, highway, and road projects, the designer should
include enough extra materials in the contract to allow for additional
stabilized entrances not shown in the initial Construction SWPPP. It is
difficult to determine exactly where access to these projects will take
place; additional materials will enable the contractor to install them where
needed.
Design and • See Figure 4.2 for details. Note: the 100' minimum length of the
Installation entrance shall be reduced to the maximum practicable size when the
Specifications size or configuration of the site does not allow the full length(100').
• A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent
fine sediment from pumping up into the rock pad. The geotextile
shall meet the following standards:
Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4751) 200 psi min.
Grab Tensile Elongation(ASTM D4632) 30% max.
Mullen Burst Strength (ASTM D3786-80a) 400 psi min.
AOS(ASTM D4751) 20-45(U.S. standard sieve size)
• Consider early installation of the first lift of asphalt in areas that will
paved; this can be used as a stabilized entrance. Also consider the
installation of excess concrete as a stabilized entrance. During large
concrete pours, excess concrete is often available for this purpose.
• Hog fuel (wood-based mulch) may be substituted for or combined with
quarry spalls in areas that will not be used for permanent roads. Hog
fuel is generally less effective at stabilizing construction entrances and
should be used only at sites where the amount of traffic is very limited.
Hog fuel is not recommended for entrance stabilization in urban areas.
The effectiveness of hog fuel is highly variable and it generally
requires more maintenance than quarry spalls. 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
degradation of the subgrade support over time.
• Fencing (see BMPs C103 and C104) shall be installed as necessary to
restrict traffic to the construction entrance.
4-8 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
• 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 . Quarry spalls(or hog fuel)shall be added if the pad is no longer in
Standards accordance with the specifications.
• If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto
pavement,then alternative measures to keep the streets free of
sediment shall be used. This may include street sweeping,an increase
in the dimensions of the entrance,or the installation of a wheel wash.
• Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed by
shoveling or street sweeping. The sediment collected by sweeping
shall be removed or stabilized on site. The pavement shall not be
cleaned by washing down the street, except when sweeping is
ineffective and there is a threat to public safety. If it is necessary to
wash the streets, the construction of a small sump shall be considered.
The sediment would then be washed into the sump where it can be
controlled.
• Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad, which end up on the
roadway shall be removed immediately.
• If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the
construction entrance(s), fencing(see BMPs C103 and C104) shall be
installed to control traffic.
• Upon project completion and site stabilization, all construction
accesses intended as permanent access for maintenance shall be
permanently stabilized.

BMP C106: Wheel Wash
Purpose Wheel washes reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved
roads by motor vehicles.
Conditions of Use When a stabilized construction entrance(see BMP C105) is not preventing
sediment from being tracked onto pavement.
• Wheel washing is generally an effective BMP when installed with
careful attention to topography. For example, a wheel wash can be
detrimental if installed at the top of a slope abutting a right-of-way
where the water from the dripping truck can run unimpeded into the
street.
• Pressure washing combined with an adequately sized and surfaced pad
with direct drainage to a large 10-foot x 10-foot sump can be very
effective.
Design and Suggested details are shown in Figure 4.3. The Local Permitting
Installation Authority may allow other designs. A minimum of 6 inches of asphalt
Specifications treated base(ATB) over crushed base material or 8 inches over a good
subgrade is recommended to pave the wheel wash.
Use a low clearance truck to test the wheel wash before paving. Either a
belly dump or lowboy will work well to test clearance.
Keep the water level from 12 to 14 inches deep to avoid damage to truck
hubs and filling the truck tongues with water.
Midpoint spray nozzles are only needed in extremely muddy conditions.
Wheel wash systems should be designed with a small grade change, 6 to
12 inches for a 10-foot-wide pond, to allow sediment to flow to the low
side of pond to help prevent re-suspension of sediment. A drainpipe with
a 2-to 3-foot riser should be installed on the low side of the pond to allow
for easy cleaning and refilling. Polymers may be used to promote
coagulation and flocculation in a closed-loop system. Polyacrylamide
(PAM)added to the wheel wash water at a rate of 0.25 -0.5 pounds per
1,000 gallons of water increases effectiveness and reduces cleanup time.
If PAM is already being used for dust or erosion control and is being
applied by a water truck, the same truck can be used to change the wash
water.
Maintenance The wheel wash should start out the day with fresh water.
Standards The wash water should be changed a minimum of once per day. On
large earthwork jobs where more than 10-20 trucks per hour are
expected, the wash water will need to be changed more often.
Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate on-
site treatment system, such as closed-loop recirculation or land
application, or to the sanitary sewer with proper local sewer district
approval.

BMP C107: Construction Road/Parking Area Stabilization
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 ' Roads or parking areas shall be stabilized wherever they are constructed,
whether permanent or temporary, for use by construction traffic.
• Fencing (see BMPs C103 and C104) shall be installed, if necessary, to
limit the access of vehicles to only those roads and parking areas that
are stabilized.
Design and • On areas that will receive asphalt as part of the project, install the first
Installation lift as soon as possible.
Specifications • A 6-inch depth of 2-to 4-inch crushed rock, gravel base, or crushed
surfacing base course shall be applied immediately after grading or
utility installation. A 4-inch course of asphalt treated base(ATB) may
also be used, or the road/parking area may be paved. It may also be
possible to use cement or calcium chloride for soil stabilization. If
cement or cement kiln dust is used for roadbase stabilization, pH
monitoring and BMPs are necessary to evaluate and minimize the
effects on stormwater. If the area will not be used for permanent roads,
parking areas,or structures, a 6-inch depth of hog fuel may also be
used,but this is likely to require more maintenance. Whenever
possible, construction roads and parking areas shall be placed on a firm,
compacted subgrade.
• Temporary road gradients shall not exceed 15 percent. Roadways shall
be carefully graded to drain. Drainage ditches shall be provided on each
side of the roadway in the case of a crowned section, or on one side in the
case of a super-elevated section. Drainage ditches shall be directed to a
sediment control BMP.
• Rather than relying on ditches,it may also be possible to grade the road
so that runoff sheet-flows into a heavily vegetated area with a well-
developed topsoil. Landscaped areas are not adequate. If this area has at
least 50 feet of vegetation,then it is generally preferable to use the
vegetation to treat runoff,rather than a sediment pond or trap. The 50
feet shall not include wetlands. If runoff is allowed to sheetflow through
adjacent vegetated areas, it is vital to design the roadways and parking
areas so that no concentrated runoff is created.
• Storm drain inlets shall be protected to prevent sediment-laden water
entering the storm drain system(see BMP C220).
Maintenance • Inspect stabilized areas regularly,especially after large storm events.
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.
• Following construction,these areas shall be restored to pre-construction
condition or better to prevent future erosion.
4-12 Volume ll—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
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 ' Seeding may be used throughout the project on disturbed areas that
have reached final grade or that will remain unworked for more than
30 days.
• Channels that will be vegetated should be installed before major
earthwork and hydroseeded with a Bonded Fiber Matrix. The
vegetation should be well established(i.e., 75 percent cover) before
water is allowed to flow in the ditch. With channels that will have
high flows, erosion control blankets should be installed over the
hydroseed. If vegetation cannot be established from seed before water
is allowed in the ditch, sod should be installed in the bottom of the
ditch over hydromulch and blankets.
• Retention/detention ponds should be seeded as required.
• Mulch is required at all times because it protects seeds from heat,
moisture loss, and transport due to runoff.
• All disturbed areas shall be reviewed in late August to early September
and all seeding should be completed by the end of September.
Otherwise, vegetation will not establish itself enough to provide more
than average protection.
• At final site stabilization, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated or
stabilized shall be seeded and mulched. Final stabilization means the
completion of all soil disturbing activities at the site and the
establishment of a permanent vegetative cover, or equivalent
permanent stabilization measures (such as pavement, riprap, gabions
or geotextiles)which will prevent erosion.
Design and • Seeding should be done during those seasons most conducive to
Installation growth and will vary with the climate conditions of the region.
Specifications Local experience should be used to determine the appropriate
seeding periods.
• The optimum seeding windows for western Washington are April 1
through June 30 and September 1 through October 1. Seeding that
occurs between July 1 and August 30 will require irrigation until 75
percent grass cover is established. Seeding that occurs between
October 1 and March 30 will require a mulch or plastic cover until
75 percent grass cover is established.
• To prevent seed from being washed away, confirm that all required
surface water control measures have been installed.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-13
• The seedbed should be firm and rough. All soil should be roughened
no matter what the slope. If compaction is required for engineering
purposes, slopes must be track walked before seeding. Backblading or
smoothing of slopes greater than 4:1 is not allowed if they are to be
seeded.
• New and more effective restoration-based landscape practices rely on
deeper incorporation than that provided by a simple single-pass
rototilling treatment. Wherever practical the subgrade should be
initially ripped to improve long-term permeability, infiltration, and
water inflow qualities. At a minimum, permanent areas shall use soil
amendments to achieve organic matter and permeability performance
defined in engineered soil/landscape systems. For systems that are
deeper than 8 inches the rototilling process should be done in multiple
lifts, or the prepared soil system shall be prepared properly and then
placed to achieve the specified depth.
• Organic matter is the most appropriate form of"fertilizer"because it
provides nutrients (including nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium) in
the least water-soluble form. A natural system typically releases 2-10
percent of its nutrients annually. Chemical fertilizers have since been
formulated to simulate what organic matter does naturally.
• In general, 10-4-6 N-P-K(nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) fertilizer
can be used at a rate of 90 pounds per acre. Slow-release fertilizers
should always be used 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. Fertilizer should not be added to the hydromulch machine
and agitated more than 20 minutes before it is to be used. If agitated
too much, the slow-release coating is destroyed.
• There are numerous products available on the market that take the
place of chemical fertilizers. These include several with seaweed
extracts that are beneficial to soil microbes and organisms. If 100
percent cottonseed meal is used as the mulch in hydroseed, chemical
fertilizer may not be necessary. Cottonseed meal is a good source of
long-term, slow-release,available nitrogen.
• Hydroseed applications shall include a minimum of 1,500 pounds per
acre of mulch with 3 percent tackifier. Mulch may be made up of 100
percent: cottonseed meal; fibers made of wood,recycled cellulose,
hemp, and kenaf, compost; or blends of these. Tackifier shall be plant-
based, such as guar or alpha plantago, or chemical-based such as
polyacrylamide or polymers. Any mulch or tackifier product used
shall be installed per manufacturer's instructions. Generally, mulches
come in 40-50 pound bags. Seed and fertilizer are added at time of
application.
4-14 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
• Mulch is always required for seeding. Mulch can be applied on top of
the seed or simultaneously by hydroseeding.
• On steep slopes, Bonded Fiber Matrix(BFM)or Mechanically Bonded
Fiber Matrix (MBFM) products should be used. BFM/MBFM
products are applied at a minimum rate of 3,000 pounds per acre of
mulch with approximately 10 percent tackifier. Application is made
so that a minimum of 95 percent soil coverage is achieved. Numerous
products are available commercially and should be installed per
manufacturer's instructions. Most products require 24-36 hours to
cure before a rainfall and cannot be installed on wet or saturated soils.
Generally,-these products come in 40-50 pound bags and include all
necessary ingredients except for seed and fertilizer.
BFMs and MBFMs have some advantages over blankets:
• No surface preparation required;
• Can be installed via helicopter in remote areas;
• On slopes steeper than 2.5:1, blanket installers may need to be roped
and harnessed for safety;
• They are at least$1,000 per acre cheaper installed.
In most cases, the shear strength of blankets is not a factor when used on
slopes, only when used in channels. BFMs and MBFMs are good
alternatives to blankets in most situations where vegetation establishment
is the goal.
• When installing seed via hydroseeding operations, only about 1/3 of
the seed actually ends up in contact with the soil surface. This reduces
the ability to establish a good stand of grass quickly. One way to
overcome this is to increase seed quantities by up to 50 percent.
• Vegetation establishment can also be enhanced by dividing the
hydromulch operation into two phases:
1. Phase I- Install all seed and fertilizer with 25-30 percent mulch
and tackifier onto soil in the first lift;
2. Phase 2- Install the rest of the mulch and tackifier over the first lift.
An alternative is to install the mulch, seed, fertilizer, and tackifier in one
lift. Then, spread or blow straw over the top of the hydromulch at a rate of
about 800-1000 pounds per acre. Hold straw in place with a standard
tackifier. Both of these approaches will increase cost moderately but will
greatly improve and enhance vegetative establishment. The increased cost
may be offset by the reduced need for:
1. Irrigation
2. Reapplication of mulch
3. Repair of failed slope surfaces
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-15
This technique works with standard hydromulch(1,500 pounds per acre
minimum) and BFM/MBFMs(3,000 pounds per acre minimum).
• Areas to be permanently landscaped shall provide a healthy topsoil
that reduces the need for fertilizers, improves overall topsoil quality,
provides for better vegetal health and vitality, improves hydrologic
characteristics, and reduces the need for irrigation. This can be
accomplished in a number of ways:
Recent research has shown that the best method to improve till soils is
to amend these soils with compost. The optimum mixture is
approximately two parts soil to one part compost. This equates to 4
inches of compost mixed to a depth of 12 inches in till soils. Increasing
the concentration of compost beyond this level can have negative
effects on vegetal health, while decreasing the concentrations can
reduce the benefits of amended soils. Please note: The compost should
meet specifications for Grade A quality compost in Ecology
Publication 94-038.
Other soils, such as gravel or cobble outwash soils, may require
different approaches. Organics and fines easily migrate through the
loose structure of these soils.Therefore, the importation of at least 6
inches of quality topsoil, underlain by some type of filter fabric to
prevent the migration of fines,may be more appropriate for these soils.
Areas that already have good topsoil, such as undisturbed areas, do not
require soil amendments.
• Areas that will be seeded only and not landscaped may need compost
or meal-based mulch included in the hydroseed in order to establish
vegetation. Native topsoil should be re-installed on the disturbed soil
surface before application.
• Seed that is installed as a temporary measure may be installed by hand
if it will be covered by straw,mulch, or topsoil. Seed that is installed
as a permanent measure may be installed by hand on small areas
(usually less than 1 acre) that will be covered with mulch, topsoil, or
erosion blankets. 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 120
pounds per acre. This rate can be reduced if soil amendments or slow-
release fertilizers are used. Local suppliers or the local conservation
district should be consulted for their recommendations because the
appropriate mix depends on a variety of factors, including location,
exposure, soil type, slope, and expected foot traffic. Alternative seed
mixes approved by the local authority may be used.

The meadow seed mix in Table 4.6 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. The
appropriateness of clover in the mix may need to be considered, as this can
be a fairly invasive species. If the soil is amended, the addition of clover
may not be necessary.

Maintenance . Any seeded areas that fail to establish at least 80 percent cover(100
Standards percent cover for areas that receive sheet or concentrated flows) shall
be reseeded. If reseeding is ineffective, an alternate method, such as
sodding,mulching, or nets/blankets, shall be used. If winter weather
prevents adequate grass growth, this time limit may be relaxed at the
discretion of the local authority when sensitive areas would otherwise
be protected.

• After adequate cover is achieved, any areas that experience erosion
shall be reseeded and protected by mulch. If the erosion problem is
drainage related, the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area
reseeded and protected by mulch.
• Seeded areas shall be supplied with adequate moisture, but not watered
to the extent that it causes runoff.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-19
BMP C121: Mulching
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 can be used. Only the most common types are discussed in this
section.
Conditions of Use As a temporary cover measure, mulch should be used:
• On disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days.
• As a cover for seed during the wet season and during the hot summer
months.
• During the wet season on slopes steeper than 3H:1V with more than 10
feet of vertical relief
• Mulch may be applied at any time of the year and must be refreshed
periodically.
Design and For mulch materials,application rates, and specifications, see Table 4.7.
Installation Note: Thicknesses may be increased for disturbed areas in or near
Specifications sensitive areas or other areas highly susceptible to erosion.
Mulch used within the ordinary high-water mark of surface waters should
be selected to minimize potential flotation of organic matter. Composted
organic materials have higher specific gravities(densities) than straw,
wood, or chipped material.
Maintenance • The thickness of the cover must be maintained.
Standards • Any areas that experience erosion shall be remulched and/or protected
with a net or blanket. If the erosion problem is drainage related, then
the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area remulched.

to be held in place with a tackifier as even light winds will
blow it away.Straw,however,has several deficiencies that
should be considered when selecting mulch materials.It
often introduces and/or encourages the propagation of weed
species and it has no significant long-term benefits. Straw
should be used only if mulches with long-term benefits are

BMP C122: Nets and Blankets
Purpose Erosion control nets and blankets are intended to prevent erosion and hold
seed and mulch in place on steep slopes and in channels so that vegetation
can become well established. In addition, some nets and blankets can be
used to permanently reinforce turf to protect drainage ways during high
flows. Nets(commonly called matting)are strands of material woven into
an open,but high-tensile strength net(for example, coconut fiber matting).
Blankets are strands of material that are not tightly woven,but instead
form a layer of interlocking fibers, typically held together by a
biodegradable or photodegradable netting(for example, excelsior or straw
blankets). They generally have lower tensile strength than nets,but cover
the ground more completely. Coir(coconut fiber) fabric comes as both
nets and blankets.
Conditions of Use Erosion control nets and blankets should be used:
• To aid permanent vegetated stabilization of slopes 2H:1 V or greater
and with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
• For drainage ditches and swales (highly recommended). The
application of appropriate netting or blanket to drainage ditches and
swales can protect bare soil from channelized runoff while vegetation
is established. Nets and blankets also can capture a great deal of
sediment due to their open, porous structure. Synthetic nets and
blankets can be used to permanently stabilize channels and may
provide a cost-effective, environmentally preferable alternative to
nprap. 100 percent synthetic blankets manufactured for use in ditches
may be easily reused as temporary ditch liners.
Disadvantages of blankets include:
• Surface preparation required;
• On slopes steeper than 2.5:1, blanket installers may need to be roped
and harnessed for safety;
• They cost at least$4,000-6,000 per acre installed.
Advantages of blankets include:
• Can be installed without mobilizing special equipment;
• Can be installed by anyone with minimal training;
• Can be installed in stages or phases as the project progresses;
• Seed and fertilizer can be hand-placed by the installers as they
progress down the slope;
• Can be installed in any weather;
• There are numerous types of blankets that can be designed with
various parameters in mind. Those parameters include: fiber blend,
mesh strength, longevity, biodegradability,cost, and availability.
4-22 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Design and . See Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.5 for typical orientation and installation of
Installation blankets used in channels and as slope protection. Note: these are
Specifications typical only; all blankets must be installed per manufacturer's
installation instructions.
• Installation is critical to the effectiveness of these products. If good
ground contact is not achieved,runoff can concentrate under the
product,resulting in significant erosion.
• Installation of Blankets on Slopes:
1. Complete final grade and track walk up and down the slope.
2. Install hydromulch with seed and fertilizer.
3. Dig a small trench,approximately 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep
along the top of the slope.
4. Install the leading edge of the blanket into the small trench and
staple approximately every 18 inches. NOTE: Staples are
metal,"U"-shaped,and a minimum of 6 inches long. Longer
staples are used in sandy soils. Biodegradable stakes are also
available.
5. Roll the blanket slowly down the slope as installer walks
backwards. NOTE: The blanket rests against the installer's legs.
Staples are installed as the blanket is unrolled. It is critical that the
proper staple pattern is used for the blanket being installed. The
blanket is not to be allowed to roll down the slope on its own as
this stretches the blanket making it impossible to maintain soil
contact. In addition, no one is allowed to walk on the blanket after
it is in place.
6. If the blanket is not long enough to cover the entire slope length,
the trailing edge of the upper blanket should overlap the leading
edge of the lower blanket and be stapled. On steeper slopes, this
overlap should be installed in a small trench, stapled, and covered
with soil.
• With the variety of products available, it is impossible to cover all the
details of appropriate use and installation. Therefore, it is critical that
the design engineer consults the manufacturer's information and that a
site visit takes place in order to insure that the product specified is
appropriate. Information is also available at the following web sites:

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

BMP C123: Plastic Covering
Purpose Plastic covering provides immediate, short-term erosion protection to
slopes and disturbed areas.
Conditions of • Plastic covering may be used on disturbed areas that require cover
Use measures for less than 30 days, except as stated below.
• Plastic is particularly useful for protecting cut and fill slopes and
stockpiles. Note: The relatively rapid breakdown of most polyethylene
sheeting makes it unsuitable for long-term(greater than six months)
applications.
• Clear plastic sheeting can be used over newly-seeded areas to create a
greenhouse effect and encourage grass growth if the hydroseed was
installed too late in the season to establish 75 percent grass cover, or if
the wet season started earlier than normal. Clear plastic should not be
used for this purpose during the summer months because the resulting
high temperatures can kill the grass.
• 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.
• While plastic is inexpensive to purchase, the added cost of installation,
maintenance,removal, and disposal make this an expensive material,
up to $1.50-2.00 per square yard.
• Whenever plastic is used to protect slopes, water collection measures
must be installed at the base of the slope. These measures include
plastic-covered berms,channels, and pipes used to covey clean
rainwater away from bare soil and disturbed areas. At no time is clean
runoff from a plastic covered slope to be mixed with dirty runoff from
a project.
• Other uses for plastic include:
1. Temporary ditch liner;
2. Pond liner in temporary sediment pond;
3. Liner for bermed temporary fuel storage area if plastic is not
reactive to the type of fuel being stored;
4. Emergency slope protection during heavy rains;and,
5. Temporary drainpipe("elephant trunk") used to direct water.
4-26 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Design and Plastic slope cover must be installed as follows:
Installation 1. Run plastic up and down slope,not across slope;
Specifications
2. Plastic may be installed perpendicular to a slope if the slope length
is less than 10 feet;
3. Minimum of 8-inch overlap at seams;
4. On long or wide slopes, or slopes subject to wind, all seams should
be taped;
5. Place plastic into a small (12-inch wide by 6-inch deep) slot trench
at the top of the slope and backfill with soil to keep water from
flowing underneath;
6. Place sand filled burlap or geotextile bags every 3 to 6 feet along
seams and pound a wooden stake through each to hold them in
place;
7. Inspect plastic for rips, tears, and open seams regularly and repair
immediately. This prevents high velocity runoff from contacting
bare soil which causes extreme erosion;
8. Sandbags may be lowered into place tied to ropes. However, all
sandbags must be staked in place.
• Plastic sheeting shall have a minimum thickness of 0.06 millimeters.
• If erosion at the toe of a slope is likely, a gravel berm, riprap, or other
suitable protection shall be installed at the toe of the slope in order to
reduce the velocity of runoff.
Maintenance . Torn sheets must be replaced and open seams repaired.
Standards
• If the plastic begins to deteriorate due to ultraviolet radiation, it must
be completely removed and replaced.
• When the plastic is no longer needed, it shall be completely removed.
• Dispose of old tires appropriately.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-27
BMP C124: Sodding
Purpose The purpose of sodding is to establish permanent turf for immediate
erosion protection and to stabilize drainage ways where concentrated
overland flow will occur.
Conditions of Use Sodding may be used in the following areas:
• Disturbed areas that require short-term or long-term cover.
• Disturbed areas that require immediate vegetative cover.
• All waterways that require vegetative lining. Waterways may also be
seeded rather than sodded, and protected with a net or blanket.
Design and Sod shall be free of weeds, of uniform thickness (approximately 1-inch
Installation thick),and shall have a dense root mat for mechanical strength.
Specifications
The following steps are recommended for sod installation:
• Shape and smooth the surface to final grade in accordance with the
approved grading plan. The swale needs to be overexcavated 4 to 6
inches below design elevation to allow room for placing soil
amendment and sod.
• Amend 4 inches(minimum) of compost into the top 8 inches of the
soil if the organic content of the soil is less than ten percent or the
permeability is less than 0.6 inches per hour. Compost used should
meet Ecology publication 94-038 specifications for Grade A quality
compost.
• Fertilize according to the supplier's recommendations.
• Work lime and fertilizer 1 to 2 inches into the soil,and smooth the
surface.
• Lay strips of sod beginning at the lowest area to be sodded and
perpendicular to the direction of water flow. Wedge strips securely
into place. Square the ends of each strip to provide for a close, tight
fit. Stagger joints at least 12 inches. Staple on slopes steeper than
3H:I V. Staple the upstream edge of each sod strip.
• Roll the sodded area and irrigate.
• When sodding is carried out in alternating strips or other patterns, seed
the areas between the sod immediately after sodding.
Maintenance If the grass is unhealthy, the cause shall be determined and appropriate
Standards 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.
4-28 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C125: Topsoiling
Purpose To provide a suitable growth medium for final site stabilization with
vegetation. While not a permanent cover practice in itself, topsoiling is an
integral component of providing permanent cover in those areas where
there is an unsuitable soil surface for plant growth. Native soils and
disturbed soils that have been organically amended not only retain much
more sormwater, but they also serve as effective biofilters for urban
pollutants and, by supporting more vigorous plant growth, reduce the
water, fertilizer and pesticides needed to support installed landscapes.
Topsoil does not include any subsoils but only the material from the top
several inches including organic debris.
Conditions of Native soils should be left undisturbed to the maximum extent
Use practicable. Native soils disturbed during clearing and grading should
be restored,to the maximum extent practicable, to a condition where
moisture-holding capacity is equal to or better than the original site
conditions. This criterion can be met by using on-site native topsoil,
incorporating amendments into on-site soil, or importing blended
topsoil.
• Topsoiling is a required procedure when establishing vegetation on
shallow soils, and soils of critically low pH(high acid) levels.
• Stripping of existing,properly functioning soil system and vegetation
for the purpose of topsoiling during construction is not acceptable. If
an existing soil system is functioning properly it shall be preserved in
its undisturbed and uncompacted condition.
• Depending on where the topsoil comes from, or what vegetation was
on site before disturbance, invasive plant seeds may be included and
could cause problems for establishing native plants, landscaped areas,
or grasses.
• Topsoil from the site will contain mycorrhizal bacteria that are
necessary for healthy root growth and nutrient transfer. These native
mycorrhiza are acclimated to the site and will provide optimum
conditions for establishing grasses. Commercially available
mycorrhiza products should be used when topsoil is brought in from
off-site.
Design and If topsoiling is to be done, the following items should be considered:
Installation Maximize the depth of the topsoil wherever possible to provide the
Specifications maximum possible infiltration capacity and beneficial growth
medium. Topsoil depth shall be at least 8 inches with a minimum
organic content of 10 percent dry weight and pH between 6.0 and 8.0
or matching the pH of the undisturbed soil. This can be accomplished
either by returning native topsoil to the site and/or incorporating
organic amendments. Organic amendments should be incorporated to
a minimum 8-inch depth except where tree roots or other natural
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-29
features limit the depth of incorporation. Subsoils below the 12-inch
depth should be scarified at least 2 inches to avoid stratified layers,
where feasible. The decision to either layer topsoil over a subgrade or
incorporate topsoil into the underlying layer may vary depending on
the planting specified.
• If blended topsoil is imported, then fines should be limited to 25
percent passing through a 200 sieve.
• The final composition and construction of the soil system will result in
a natural selection or favoring of certain plant species over time. For
example, recent practices have shown that incorporation of topsoil
may favor grasses,while layering with mildly acidic, high-carbon
amendments may favor more woody vegetation.
• Locate the topsoil stockpile so that it meets specifications and does not
interfere with work on the site. It may be possible to locate more than
one pile in proximity to areas where topsoil will be used.
• Allow sufficient time in scheduling for topsoil to be spread prior to
seeding, sodding,or planting.
• Care must be taken not to apply to subsoil if the two soils have
contrasting textures. Sandy topsoil over clayey subsoil is a
particularly poor combination, as water creeps along the junction
between the soil layers and causes the topsoil to slough.
• If topsoil and subsoil are not properly bonded, water will not infiltrate
the soil profile evenly and it will be difficult to establish vegetation.
The best method to prevent a lack of bonding is to actually work the
topsoil into the layer below for a depth of at least 6 inches.
• Ripping or re-structuring the subgrade may also provide additional
benefits regarding the overall infiltration and interflow dynamics of
the soil system.
• Field exploration of the site shall be made to determine if there is
surface soil of sufficient quantity and quality to justify stripping.
Topsoil shall be friable and loamy(loam, sandy loam, silt loam, sandy
clay loam, clay loam). Areas of natural ground water recharge should
be avoided.
• Stripping shall be confined to the immediate construction area. A 4- to
6- inch stripping depth is common, but depth may vary depending on
the particular soil. All surface runoff control structures shall be in
place prior to stripping.
Stockpiling of topsoil shall occur in the following manner:
• Side slopes of the stockpile shall not exceed 2:1.
• An interceptor dike with gravel outlet and silt fence shall surround all
topsoil stockpiles between October 1 and April 30. Between May 1
4-30 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
and September 30, an interceptor dike with gravel outlet and silt fence
shall be installed if the stockpile will remain in place for a longer
period of time than active construction grading.
• Erosion control seeding or covering with clear plastic or other
mulching materials of stockpiles shall be completed within 2 days
(October 1 through Apri130)or 7 days(May 1 through September 30)
of the formation of the stockpile. Native topsoil stockpiles shall not be
covered with plastic.
• Topsoil shall not be placed while in a frozen or muddy condition,
when the subgrade is excessively wet, or when conditions exist that
may otherwise be detrimental to proper grading or proposed sodding
or seeding.
• Previously established grades on the areas to be topsoiled shall be
maintained according to the approved plan.
• When native topsoil is to be stockpiled and reused the following
should apply to ensure that the mycorrhizal bacterial, earthworms, and
other beneficial organisms will not be destroyed:
1. Topsoil is to be re-installed within 4 to 6 weeks;
2. Topsoil is not to become saturated with water,
3. Plastic cover is not allowed.
Maintenance • Inspect stockpiles regularly, especially after large storm events.
Standards Stabilize any areas that have eroded.

BMP C126: 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 PAM shall not-be directly applied to water or allowed to enter a water
body.
In areas that drain to a sediment pond, PAM can be applied to bare soil
under the following conditions:
• During rough grading operations.
• Staging areas.
• Balanced cut and fill earthwork.
• Haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing.
• Compacted soil roadbase.
• Stockpiles.
• After final grade and before paving or final seeding and planting.
• Pit sites.
• Sites having a winter shut down. In the case of winter shut down, or
where soil will remain unworked for several months, PAM should be
used together with mulch.
Design and PAM may be applied in dissolved form with water, or it may be applied in
Installation dry, granular or powdered form. The preferred application method is the
Specifications dissolved form.
PAM is to be applied at a maximum rate of 2/3 pound PAM per 1000
gallons water(80 mg/L) per I acre of bare soil. Table 4.8 can be used to
determine the PAM and water application rate for a disturbed soil area.
Higher concentrations of PAM do not provide any additional effectiveness.

4.50 3.00 4,500
5.00 3.33 5,000
4-32 Volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
The Preferred Method:
• Pre-measure the area where PAM is to be applied and calculate the
amount of product and water necessary to provide coverage at the
specified application rate(2/3 pound PAM/1000 gallons/acre).
• PAM has infinite solubility in water,but dissolves very slowly.
Dissolve pre-measured dry granular PAM with a known quantity of
clean water in a bucket several hours or overnight. Mechanical mixing
will help dissolve the PAM. Always add PAM to water-not water to
PAM.
• Pre-fill the-water truck about 1/8 full with water. The water does not
have to be potable,but it must have relatively low turbidity—in the
range of 20 NTU or less.
• Add PAM/Water mixture to the truck
• Completely fill the water truck to specified volume.
• Spray PAM/Water mixture onto dry soil until the soil surface is
uniformly and completely wetted.
An Alternate Method:
PAM may also be applied as a powder at the rate of 5 lbs. per acre. This
must be applied on a day that is dry. For areas less than 5-10 acres,a
hand-held"organ grinder" fertilizer spreader set to the smallest setting will
work. Tractor-mounted spreaders will work for larger areas.
The following shall be used for application of PAM:
• PAM shall be used in conjunction with other BMPs and not in place of
other BMPs.
• Do not use PAM on a slope that flows directly into a stream or
wetland. The stormwater runoff shall pass through a sediment control
BMP prior to discharging to surface waters.
• Do not add PAM to water discharging from site.
• When the total drainage area is greater than or equal to 5 acres, PAM
treated areas shall drain to a sediment pond.
• Areas less than 5 acres shall drain to sediment control BMPs, such as a
minimum of 3 check dams per acre. The total number of check dams
used shall be maximized to achieve the greatest amount of settlement
of sediment prior to discharging from the site. Each check dam shall
be spaced evenly in the drainage channel through which stormwater
flows are discharged off-site.
• On all sites, the use of silt fence shall be maximized to limit the
discharges of sediment from the site.
• All areas not being actively worked shall be covered and protected
from rainfall. PAM shall not be the only cover BMP used.
February 2005 Volume /l—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-33
• PAM can be applied to wet soil, but dry soil is preferred due to less
sediment loss.
• PAM will work when applied to saturated soil but is not as effective as
applications to dry or damp soil.
• Keep the granular PAM supply out of the sun. Granular PAM loses its
effectiveness in three months after exposure to sunlight and air.
• Proper application and re-application plans are necessary to ensure
total effectiveness of PAM usage.
• PAM, combined with water, is very slippery and can be a safety
hazard. Care must be taken to prevent spills of PAM powder onto
paved surfaces. During an application of PAM, prevent over-spray
from reaching pavement as pavement will become slippery. If PAM
powder gets on skin or clothing,wipe it off with a rough towel rather
than washing with water-this only makes cleanup messier and take
longer.
• Some PAMs are more toxic and carcinogenic than others. Only the
most environmentally safe PAM products should be used.
The specific PAM copolymer formulation must be anionic. Cationic
PAM shall not be used in any application because of known
aquatic toxicity problems. Only the highest drinking water grade
PAM, certified for compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for
drinking water treatment, will be used for soil applications. Recent
media attention and high interest in PAM has resulted in some
entrepreneurial exploitation of the term "polymer." All PAM are
polymers, but not all polymers are PAM, and not all PAM products
comply with ANSI/NSF Standard 60. PAM use shall be reviewed and
approved by the local permitting authority. The Washington State
Department of Transportation(WSDOT) has listed approved PAM
products on their web page.
• PAM designated for these uses should be "water soluble" or"linear" or
"non-crosslinked". Cross-linked or water absorbent PAM,
polymerized in highly acidic (pH<2) conditions, are used to maintain
soil moisture content.
• The PAM anionic charge density may vary from 2-30 percent; a value
of 18 percent is typical. Studies conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA)/ARS demonstrated that soil
stabilization was optimized by using very high molecular weight(12-
15 mg/mole), highly anionic (>20%hydrolysis) PAM.
• PAM tackifiers are available and being used in place of guar and alpha
plantago. Typically, PAM tackifiers should be used at a rate of no
more than 0.5-1 lb. per 1000 gallons of water in a hydromulch
machine. Some tackifier product instructions say to use at a rate of 3 —
4-34 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
5 lbs. per acre, which can be too much. In addition,pump problems
can occur at higher rates due to increased viscosity.
Maintenance . PAM may be reapplied on actively worked areas after a 48-hour
Standards period.
• Reapplication is not required unless PAM treated soil is disturbed or
unless turbidity levels show the need for an additional application. If
PAM treated soil is left undisturbed a reapplication may be necessary
after two months. More PAM applications may be required for steep
slopes, silty and clayey soils(USDA Classification Type "C" and "D"
soils), long grades, and high precipitation areas. When PAM is
applied first to bare soil and then covered with straw, a reapplication
may not be necessary for several months.
• Loss of sediment and PAM may be a basis for penalties per RCW
90.48.080.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-35
BMP C130: Surface Roughening
Purpose Surface roughening aids in the establishment of vegetative cover, reduces
runoff velocity, increases infiltration,and provides for sediment trapping
through the provision of a rough soil surface. Horizontal depressions are
created by operating a tiller or other suitable equipment on the contour or
by leaving slopes in a roughened condition by not fine grading them.
Conditions for • All slopes steeper than 3:1 and greater than 5 vertical feet require
Use surface roughening.
• Areas with grades steeper than 3:1 should be roughened to a depth of 2
to 4 inches.prior to seeding.
• Areas that will not be stabilized immediately may be roughened to
reduce runoff velocity until seeding takes place.
• Slopes with a stable rock face do not require roughening.
• Slopes where mowing is planned should not be excessively roughened.
Design and There are different methods for achieving a roughened soil surface on a
Installation slope, and the selection of an appropriate method depends upon the type of
Specifications slope. Roughening methods include stair-step grading, grooving,contour
furrows, and tracking. See Figure 4.6 for tracking and contour furrows.
Factors to be considered in choosing a method are slope steepness, mowing
requirements, and whether the slope is formed by cutting or filling.
• Disturbed areas that will not require mowing may be stair-step graded,
grooved,or left rough after filling.
• Stair-step grading is particularly appropriate in soils containing large
amounts of soft rock. Each"step" catches material that sloughs from
above, and provides a level site where vegetation can become
established. Stairs should be wide enough to work with standard earth
moving equipment. Stair steps must be on contour or gullies will form
on the slope.
• Areas that will be mowed(these areas should have slopes less steep
than 3:1)may have small furrows left by disking,harrowing,raking, or
seed-planting machinery operated on the contour.
• Graded areas with slopes greater than 3:1 but less than 2:1 should be
roughened before seeding. This can be accomplished in a variety of
ways, including "track walking," or driving a crawler tractor up and
down the slope, leaving a pattern of cleat imprints parallel to slope
contours.
• Tracking is done by operating equipment up and down the slope to
leave horizontal depressions in the soil.
Maintenance • Areas that are graded in this manner should be seeded as quickly as
Standards possible.
• Regular inspections should be made of the area. If rills appear, they
should be re-graded and re-seeded immediately.

BMP C131: Gradient Terraces
Purpose Gradient terraces reduce erosion damage by intercepting surface runoff
and conducting it to a stable outlet at a non-erosive velocity.
Conditions of Use Gradient terraces normally are limited to denuded land having a water
erosion problem. They should not be constructed on deep sands or on
soils that are too stony, steep, or shallow to permit practical and
economical installation and maintenance. Gradient terraces may be
used only where suitable outlets are or will be made available. See
Figure 4.7 for gradient terraces.
Design and The maximum spacing of gradient terraces should be determined by
Installation the following method:
Specifications
VI = (0.8)s+y
Where: VI = vertical interval in feet
s = land rise per 100 feet, expressed in feet
y =a soil and cover variable with values from 1.0 to 4.0
Values of"y"are influenced by soil erodibility and cover practices.
The lower values are applicable to erosive soils where little to no
residue is left on the surface. The higher value is applicable only to
erosion-resistant soils where a large amount of residue (1'/z tons of
straw/acre equivalent) is on the surface.
• The minimum constructed cross-section should meet the design
dimensions.
• The top of the constructed ridge should not be lower at any point than
the design elevation plus the specified overfill for settlement. The
opening at the outlet end of the terrace should have a cross section
equal to that specified for the terrace channel.
• Channel grades may be either uniform or variable with a maximum
grade of 0.6 feet per 100 feet length. For short distances, terrace
grades may be increased to improve alignment. The channel velocity
should not exceed that which is nonerosive for the soil type with the
planned treatment.
• All gradient terraces should have adequate outlets. Such an outlet may
be a grassed waterway, vegetated area, or tile outlet. In all cases the
outlet must convey runoff from the terrace or terrace system to a point
where the outflow will not cause damage. Vegetative cover should be
used in the outlet channel.
• The design elevation of the water surface of the terrace should not be
lower than the design elevation of the water surface in the outlet at
their junction, when both are operating at design flow.
4-38 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
• Vertical spacing determined by the above methods may be increased
as much as 0.5 feet or 10 percent, whichever is greater, to provide
better alignment or location,to avoid obstacles, to adjust for
equipment size,or to reach a satisfactory outlet.
• The drainage area above the top should not exceed the area that would
be drained by a terrace with normal spacing.
• The terrace should have enough capacity to handle the peak runoff
expected from a 2-year, 24-hour design storm without overtopping.
• The terrace cross-section should be proportioned to fit the land slope.
The ridge height should include a reasonable settlement factor. The
ridge should have a minimum top width of 3 feet at the design height.
The minimum cross-sectional area of the terrace channel should be
8 square feet for land slopes of 5 percent or less, 7 square feet for
slopes from 5 to 8 percent, and 6 square feet for slopes steeper than
8 percent. The terrace can be constructed wide enough to be
maintained using a small cat.
Maintenance • Maintenance should be performed as needed. Terraces should be
Standards inspected regularly; at least once a year, and after large storm events.

BMP C140: Dust Control
Purpose Dust control prevents wind transport of dust from disturbed soil surfaces
onto roadways, drainage ways, and surface waters.
Conditions of Use • In areas(including roadways) subject to surface and air movement of
dust where on-site and off-site impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or
surface waters are likely.
Design and • Vegetate or mulch areas that will not receive vehicle traffic. In areas
Installation where planting, mulching, or paving is impractical, apply gravel or
Specifications landscaping rock.
• Limit dust generation by clearing only those areas where immediate
activity will take place, leaving the remaining area(s) in the original
condition, if stable. Maintain the original ground cover as long as
practical.
• Construct natural or artificial windbreaks or windscreens. These may
be designed as enclosures for small dust sources.
• Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet. Repeat as needed. To
prevent carryout of mud onto street,refer to Stabilized Construction
Entrance(BMP C 105).
• Irrigation water can be used for dust control. Irrigation systems should
be installed as a first step on sites where dust control is a concern.
• Spray exposed soil areas with a dust palliative, following the
manufacturer's instructions and cautions regarding handling and
application. Used oil is prohibited from use as a dust suppressant.
Local governments may approve other dust palliatives such as calcium
chloride or PAM.
• PAM(BMP C126) added to water at a rate of 0.5 lbs. per 1,000
gallons of water per acre and applied from a water truck is more
effective than water alone. This is due to the increased infiltration of
water into the soil and reduced evaporation. In addition, small soil
particles are bonded together and are not as easily transported by wind.
Adding PAM may actually reduce the quantity of water needed for
dust control, especially in eastern Washington. Since the wholesale
cost of PAM is about$4.00 per pound, this is an extremely cost-
effective dust control method.
Techniques that can be used for unpaved roads and lots include:
• Lower speed limits. High vehicle speed increases the amount of dust
stirred up from unpaved roads and lots.
• Upgrade the road surface strength by improving particle size, shape,
and mineral types that make up the surface and base materials:
4-40 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
• Add surface gravel to reduce the source of dust emission. Limit the
amount of fine particles(those smaller than .075 mm) to 10 to 20
percent.
• Use geotextile fabrics to increase the strength of new roads or roads
undergoing reconstruction.
• Encourage the use of alternate,paved routes, if available.
• Restrict use by tracked vehicles and heavy trucks to prevent damage to
road surface and base.
• Apply chemical dust suppressants using the admix method, blending
the produci with the top few inches of surface material. Suppressants
may also be applied as surface treatments.
• Pave unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas.
• Use vacuum street sweepers.
• Remove mud and other dirt promptly so it does not dry and then turn
into dust.
• Limit dust-causing work on windy days.
• Contact your local Air Pollution Control Authority for guidance and
training on other dust control measures. Compliance with the local Air
Pollution Control Authority constitutes compliance with this BMP.
Maintenance Respray area as necessary to keep dust to a minimum.

BMP C150: Materials On Hand
Purpose Quantities of erosion prevention and sediment control materials can be
kept on the project site at all times to be used for emergency situations
such as unexpected heavy summer rains. Having these materials on-site
reduces the time needed to implement BMPs when inspections indicate
that existing BMPs are not meeting the Construction SWPPP
requirements. In addition,contractors can save money by buying some
materials in bulk and storing them at their office or yard.
Conditions of Use Construction projects of any size or type can benefit from having
materials on hand. A small commercial development project could
have a roll of plastic and some gravel available for immediate
protection of bare soil and temporary berm construction. A large
earthwork project, such as highway construction, might have several
tons of straw, several rolls of plastic, flexible pipe, sandbags,
geotextile fabric and steel"T"posts.
• Materials are stockpiled and readily available before any site clearing,
grubbing, or earthwork begins. A large contractor or developer could
keep a stockpile of materials that are available to be used on several
projects.
• If storage space at the project site is at a premium, the contractor could
maintain the materials at their office or yard. The office or yard must
be less than an hour from the project site.
Design and Depending on project type, size, complexity, and length, materials and
Installation quantities will vary. A good minimum that will cover numerous situations
Specifications includes:
Material Measure Quantity
Clear Plastic, 6 mil 100 foot roll 1-2
-Drainpipe, 6 or 8 inch diameter 25 foot section 4-6
Sandbags, filled each 25-50
Straw Bales for mulching, approx. 50#each 10-20
Quarry S ails ton 2-4
Washed Gravel cubic yard 2-4
Geotextile Fabric 100 foot roll 1-2
Catch Basin Inserts each 2-4
Steel"T" Posts each 12-24
Maintenance • All materials with the exception of the quarry spalls, steel"T"posts,
Standards and gravel should be kept covered and out of both sun and rain.
• Re-stock materials used as needed.

BMP C151: 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. This BMP is intended to minimize and eliminate
concrete process water and slurry from entering waters of the state.
Conditions of Use Any time concrete is used,these management practices shall be utilized.
Concrete construction projects include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Curbs
• Sidewalks
• Roads
• Bridges
• Foundations
• Floors
• Runways
Design and • Concrete truck chutes,pumps,and internals shall be washed out only
Installation into formed areas awaiting installation of concrete or asphalt.
Specifications • Unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump shall be returned to
the originating batch plant for recycling.
• Hand tools including, but not limited to, screeds, shovels, rakes, floats,
and trowels shall be washed off only into formed areas awaiting
installation of concrete or asphalt.
• Equipment that cannot be easily moved, such as concrete pavers, shall
only be washed in areas that do not directly drain to natural or
constructed stormwater conveyances.
• Washdown from areas such as concrete aggregate driveways shall not
drain directly to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances.
• When no formed areas are available, washwater and leftover product
shall be contained in a lined container. Contained concrete shall be
disposed of in a manner that does not violate groundwater or surface
water quality standards.
Maintenance Containers shall be checked for holes in the liner daily during concrete
Standards pours and repaired the same day.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-43
BMP C152: Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention
Purpose Sawcutting and surfacing operations generate slurry and process water
that contains fine particles and high pH(concrete cutting), both of which
can violate the water quality standards in the receiving water. This BMP
is intended to minimize and eliminate process water and slurry from
entering waters of the State.
Conditions of Use Anytime sawcutting or surfacing operations take place, these
management practices shall be utilized. Sawcutting and surfacing
operations include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Sawing
• Coring
• Grinding
• Roughening
• Hydro-demolition
• Bridge and road surfacing
Design and • Slurry and cuttings shall be vacuumed during cutting and surfacing
Installation operations.
Specifications • Slurry and cuttings shall not remain on permanent concrete or asphalt
pavement overnight.
• Slurry and cuttings shall not drain to any natural or constructed
drainage conveyance.
• Collected slurry and cuttings shall be disposed of in a manner that does
not violate groundwater or surface water quality standards.
• Process water that is generated during hydro-demolition, surface
roughening or similar operations shall not drain to any natural or
constructed drainage conveyance and shall be disposed of in a manner
that does not violate groundwater or surface water quality standards.
• Cleaning waste material and demolition debris shall be handled and
disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of water. If
the area is swept with a pick-up sweeper, the material must be hauled
out of the area to an appropriate disposal site.
Maintenance Continually monitor operations to determine whether slurry, cuttings, or
Standards 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.
4-44 Volume I/—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment
Purpose Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants from
material delivery and storage to the stormwater system or
watercourses by minimizing the storage of hazardous materials
onsite, storing materials in a designated area, and installing
secondary containment.
Conditions of Use These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with
delivery and storage of the following materials:
• Petroleum products such as fuel, oil and grease
• Soil stabilizers and binders (e.g. Polyacrylamide)
• Fertilizers,pesticides and herbicides
• Detergents
• Asphalt and concrete compounds
• Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, adhesives, paints, solvents
and curing compounds
• Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the
environment
Design and The following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
Installation Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic,
Specifications near the construction entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm
drains.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all
materials stored. Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled
containers.
• Hazardous material storage on-site should be minimized.
• Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible.
• During the wet weather season(Oct 1 —April 30), consider storing
materials in a covered area.
• Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen
dike, horse trough, or even a children's wading pool for non-reactive
materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of
material may be secondarily contained in"bus boy" trays or concrete
mixing trays.
• Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the
ground. Place these items on a pallet and, when possible, in secondary
containment.
February 2005 Volume 1l—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-45
• 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:
• Liquids, petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts
110, 117, or 302 shall be stored in approved containers and drums and
shall not be overfilled. Containers and drums shall be stored in
temporary secondary containment facilities.
• Temporary-secondary containment facilities shall provide for a spill
containment volume able to contain precipitation from a 25 year, 24
hour storm event,plus 10% of the total enclosed container volume of
all containers, or 110% of the capacity of the largest container within
its boundary, whichever is greater.
• Secondary containment facilities shall be impervious to the materials
stored therein for a minimum contact time of 72 hours.
• Secondary containment facilities shall be maintained free of
accumulated rainwater and spills. In the event of spills or leaks,
accumulated rainwater and spills shall be collected and placed into
drums. These liquids shall be handled as hazardous waste unless
testing determines them to be non-hazardous.
• Sufficient separation should be provided between stored containers to
allow for spill cleanup and emergency response access.
• During the wet weather season(Oct I —April 30), each secondary
containment facility shall be covered during non-working days,prior
to and during rain events.
• Keep material storage areas clean, organized and equipped with an
ample supply of appropriate spill clean-up material(spill kit).
• The spill kit should include, at a minimum:
1-Water Resistant Nylon Bag
• 3-011 Absorbent Socks 3"x 4'
2-011 Absorbent Socks 3"x 10'
• 12-011 Absorbent Pads 17"x19"
• 1-Pair Splash Resistant Goggles
• 3-Pair Nitrile Gloves
• 10-Disposable Bags with Ties
• Instructions

BMP C160: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Purpose The project proponent designates at least one person as the responsible
representative in charge of erosion and sediment control (ESC),and water
quality protection. The designated person shall be the Certified Erosion

BMP C161: Payment of Erosion Control Work
Purpose As with any construction operation, the contractor should be paid for
erosion control work. Payment for erosion control must be addressed
during project development and design. Method of payment should be
identified in the SWPPP.
Conditions of Use Erosion control work should never be"incidental" to the contract as it is
extremely difficult for the contractor to bid the work. Work that is
incidental to the contract is work where no separate measurement or
payment is made. The cost for incidental work is included in payments
made for applicable bid items in the Schedule of Unit Prices. For
example, any erosion control work associated with an item called
"Clearing and Grubbing" is bid and paid for as part of that item, not
separately.
Several effective means for payment of erosion control work are described
below. These include:
• Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) Lump Sum.
• TESC-Force Account.
• Unit Prices_
• Lump Sum.
TESC Lump Sum
One good method for achieving effective erosion and sediment control is
to set up a Progress Payment system whereby the contract spells out
exactly what is expected and allows for monthly payments over the life of
the contract.
For example, an Item called "TESC Lump Sum"' is listed in the Bid
Schedule of Unit Prices. An amount, such as $10,000, is written in both
the Unit Price and Amount columns. This requires all bidders to bid
$10,000 for the item. If$10,000 is not shown in the Amount column,each
contractor bids the amount. Often this is under-bid, which can cause
compliance difficulties later. In this example, the contractor is required to
revise the project Construction SWPPP by developing a Contractor's
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan(CESCP) that is specific to their
operations.
Next, the following language is included in the TESC specification
Payment section:
Based upon lump sum Bid Item"TESC Lump Sum', payments will be
made as follows.-
A. Upon receipt of the Contractors CESCP, 25 percent.
B. After Notice To Proceed and before Substantial Completion, 50
percent will be pro rated and paid monthly for compliance with the
4-52 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
CESCP. Non-compliance will result in withholding of payment for
the month of non-compliance.
C_ At Final Payment, 25 percent for a clean site.
Payment for"TESC Lump Sum"will be full compensation for
furnishing all labor, equipment, materials and tools to implement the
CESCP, install, inspect, maintain, and remove temporary erosion and
sediment controls as detailed in the drawings and specified herein,
with the exception of those items measured and paid for separately.
TESC Force Account
One good method for ensuring that contingency money is available to
address unforeseen erosion and sediment control problems is to set up an
item called "TESC-Force Account". For example, an amount such as
$15,000 is written in both the Unit Price and Amount columns for the
item. This requires all bidders to bid $15,000 for the item.
The Force Account is used only at the discretion of the contracting agency
or developer. If there are no unforeseen erosion problems, the money is
not used. If there are unforeseen erosion problems, the contracting agency
would direct the work to be done and pay an agreed upon amount for the
work (such as predetermined rates under a Time and Materials setting).
Contract language for this item could look like this:
Measurement and Payment for"TESC-Force Account"will be on a Force
Account basis in accordance with (include appropriate section
of the Contract Specifications). The amount entered in the Schedule of
Unit Prices is an estimate.
Unit Prices
When the material or work can be quantified, it can be paid by Unit Prices.
For example, the project designer knows that 2 acres will need to be
hydroseeded and sets up an Item of Work for Hydroseed, with a Bid
Quantity of 2, and a Unit for Acre. The bidder writes in the unit Prices
_ and Amount.
Unit Price items can be used in conjunction with TESC-Force Account
and TESC-Lump Sum.
Lump Sum
In contracts where all the work in a project is paid as a Lump Sum, erosion
control is usually not paid as a separate item. In order to ensure that
appropriate amounts are bid into the contract, the contracting agency can
request a Schedule of Values and require that all erosion control costs be
identified.
February 2005 Volume ll—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-53
BMP C162: Scheduling
Purpose Sequencing a construction project reduces the amount and duration of soil
exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking.
Conditions of Use The construction sequence schedule is an orderly listing of all major land-
disturbing activities together with the necessary erosion and sedimentation
control measures planned for the project. This type of schedule guides the
contractor on work to be done before other work is started so that serious
erosion and sedimentation problems can be avoided.
Following a specified work schedule that coordinates the timing of land-
disturbing activities and the installation of control measures is perhaps the
most cost-effective way of controlling erosion during construction. The
removal of surface ground cover leaves a site vulnerable to accelerated
erosion. Construction procedures that limit land clearing, provide timely
installation of erosion and sedimentation controls, and restore protective
cover quickly can significantly reduce the erosion potential of a site.
Design
• Avoid rainy periods.
Considerations . Schedule projects to disturb only small portions of the site at any one
time. Complete grading as soon as possible_ Immediately stabilize the
disturbed portion before grading the next portion. Practice staged
seeding in order to revegetate cut and fill slopes as the work
progresses.
4-54 Volume/I—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C180: Small Project Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Purpose To prevent the discharge of sediment and other pollutants to the maximum
extent practicable from small construction projects_
Conditions of Use On small construction projects, those adding or replacing less than 2,000
square feet of impervious surface or clearing less than 7,000 square feet.
Design and Plan and implement proper clearing and grading of the site. It is most
Installation important only to clear the areas needed, thus keeping exposed areas
Specifications to a minimum. Phase clearing so that only those areas that are actively
being worked are uncovered.
Note_ Clearing limits should be flagged in the lot or area prior to
initiating clearing.
• Soil shall be managed in a manner that does not permanently compact
or deteriorate the final soil and landscape system. If disturbance and/or
compaction occur the impact must be corrected at the end of the
construction activity. This shall include restoration of soil depth, soil -
quality, permeability, and percent organic matter. Construction
practices must not cause damage to or compromise the design of
permanent landscape or infiltration areas.
• Locate excavated basement soil a reasonable distance behind the curb,
such as in the backyard or side yard area. This will increase the
distance eroded soil must travel to reach the storm sewer system. Soil
piles should be covered until the soil is either used or removed. Piles
should be situated so that sediment does not run into the street or
adjoining yards.
• Backfill basement walls as soon as possible and rough grade the lot.
This will eliminate large soil mounds, which are highly erodible, and
prepares the lot for temporary cover, which will further reduce erosion
potential.
Remove excess soil from the site as soon as possible after backfilling.
This will eliminate any sediment loss from surplus fill.
• If a lot has a soil bank higher than the curb, a trench or berm should be
installed moving the bank several feet behind the curb. This will
reduce the occurrence of gully and rill erosion while providing a
storage and settling area for stormwater.
• The construction entrance should be stabilized where traffic will be
leaving the construction site and traveling on paved roads or other
paved areas within 1,000 feet of the site_
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-55
• Provide for periodic street cleaning to remove any sediment that may
have been tracked out. Sediment should be removed by shoveling or
sweeping and carefully removed to a suitable disposal area where it
will not be re-eroded.
• Utility trenches that run up and down slopes must be backfilled within
seven days. Cross-slope trenches may remain open throughout
construction to provide runoff interception and sediment trapping,
provided that they do not convey turbid runoff off site.
4-56 Volume /!—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
4.2 Runoff Conveyance and Treatment BMPs
BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale
Purpose Provide a ridge of compacted soil, or a ridge with an upslope swale, at the
top or base of a disturbed slope or along the perimeter of a disturbed
construction area to convey stormwater. Use the dike and/or Swale to
intercept the runoff from unprotected areas and direct it to areas where
erosion can be controlled. This can prevent storm runoff from entering the
work area or sediment-laden runoff from leaving the construction site_
Conditions of Use Where the runoff from an exposed site or disturbed slope must be conveyed
to an erosion control facility which can safely convey the stormwater.
• Locate upslope of a construction site to prevent runoff from entering
disturbed area.
When placed horizontally across a disturbed slope, it reduces the
amount and velocity of runoff flowing down the slope.
Locate downslope to collect runoff from a disturbed area and direct it
to a sediment basin.
Design and . Dike and/or Swale and channel must be stabilized with temporary or
Installation permanent vegetation or other channel protection during construction.
Specifications . Channel requires a positive grade for drainage; steeper grades require
channel protection and check dams.
• Review construction for areas where overtopping may occur.
• Can be used at top of new fill before vegetation is established.
May be used as a permanent diversion channel to carry the runoff.
• Sub-basin tributary area should be one acre or less.
• Design capacity for the peak flow from a 10-year, 24-hour storm,
assuming a Type IA rainfall distribution, for temporary facilities.
Alternatively, use 1.6 times the I0-year, I-hour flow indicated by an
approved continuous runoff model. For facilities that will also serve
on a permanent basis, consult the local government's drainage
requirements.
Interceptor dikes shall meet the following criteria:
Top Width 2 feet minimum.
Height 1.5 feet minimum on berm.
Side Slope 2:1 or flatter.
Grade Depends on topography, however, dike system minimum is
0.5%, maximum is 1%.
Compaction Minimum of 90 percent ASTM D698 standard proctor.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-57
Horizontal Spacing of Interceptor Dikes:
Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length
20H:1 V or less 3-5% 300 feet
(10 to 20)H:1 V 5-10% 200 feet
(4 to ]0)H:I V 10-25% 100 feet
(2 to 4)H:1 V 25-50% 50 feet
Stabilization depends on velocity and reach
Slopes <5% Seed and mulch applied within 5 days of dike
construction (see BMP C121, Mulching).
Slopes 5 -40% Dependent on runoff velocities and dike materials.
Stabilization should be done immediately using either
sod or riprap or other measures to avoid erosion.
• The upslope side of the dike shall provide positive drainage to the dike
outlet. No erosion shall occur at the outlet. Provide energy dissipation
measures as necessary. Sediment-laden runoff must be released
through a sediment trapping facility.
• Minimize construction traffic over temporary dikes. Use temporary
cross culverts for channel crossing.
Interceptor swales shall meet the following criteria:
Bottom Width 2 feet minimum; the bottom shall be level.
Depth I-foot minimum.
Side Slope 2:1 or flatter.
Grade Maximum 5 percent, with positive drainage to a
suitable outlet(such as a sediment pond).
Stabilization Seed as per BMP C120, Temporary and Permanent
Seeding,or BMP C202, Channel Lining, 12 inches
thick of riprap pressed into the bank and extending
at least 8 inches vertical from the bottom.
• Inspect diversion dikes and interceptor swales once a week and after
every rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow area.
• Damage caused by construction traffic or other activity must be
repaired before the end of each working day.
Check outlets and make timely repairs as needed to avoid gully formation. When
the area below the temporary diversion dike is permanently stabilized, remove the
dike and fill and stabilize the channel to blend with the natural surface.
4-58 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C201: Grass-Lined Channels
Purpose To provide a channel with a vegetative lining for conveyance of runoff.
See Figure 4.7 for typical grass-lined channels.
Conditions of Use This practice applies to construction sites where concentrated runoff nee&
to be contained to prevent erosion or flooding.
• When a vegetative lining can provide sufficient stability for the
channel cross section and at lower velocities of water(normally
dependent on grade). This means that the channel slopes are generally
less than 5 percent and space is available for a relatively large cross
section.
• Typical uses include roadside ditches, channels at property boundaries,
outlets for diversions, and other channels and drainage ditches in low
areas.
• Channels that will be vegetated should be installed before major
earthwork and hydroseeded with a bonded fiber matrix (BFM). The
vegetation should be well established(i.e., 75 percent cover)before
water is allowed to flow in the ditch. With channels that will have
high flows, erosion control blankets should be installed over the
hydroseed. If vegetation cannot be established from seed before water
is allowed in the ditch, sod should be installed in the bottom of the
ditch in lieu of hydromulch and blankets.
Design and Locate the channel where it can conform to the topography and other
Installation features such as roads.
Specifications Locate them to use natural drainage systems to the greatest extent
possible.
• Avoid sharp changes in alignment or bends and changes in grade.
• Do not reshape the landscape to fit the drainage channel.
• The maximum design velocity shall be based on soil conditions, type
of vegetation, and method of revegetation,but at no times shall
velocity exceed 5 feet/second. The channel shall not be overtopped by
the peak runoff from a 10-year, 24-hour storm,assuming a Type 1 A
rainfall distribution." Alternatively, use 1.6 times the 10-year, 1-hour
flow indicated by an approved continuous runoff model to determine a
flow rate which the channel must contain.
• Where the grass-lined channel will also function as a permanent
stormwater conveyance facility,consultant the drainage conveyance
requirements of the local government with jurisdiction.
• An established grass or vegetated lining is required before the channel
can be used to convey stormwater, unless stabilized with nets_ or
blankets.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-59
• If design velocity of a channel to be vegetated by seeding exceeds 2
ft/sec, a temporary channel liner is required. Geotextile or special
mulch protection such as fiberglass roving or straw and netting provide
stability until the vegetation is fully established_ See Figure 4.9.
• Check dams shall be removed when the grass has matured sufficiently
- to protect the ditch or swale unless the slope of the Swale is greater
than 4 percent. The area beneath the check dams shall be seeded and
mulched immediately after dam removal.
• If vegetation is established by sodding, the permissible velocity for
established vegetation may be used and no temporary liner is needed.
• Do not subject grass-lined channel to sedimentation from disturbed
areas_ Use sediment-trapping BMPs upstream of the channel.
• V-shaped grass channels generally apply where the quantity of water
is small, such as in short reaches along roadsides. The V-shaped cross
section is least desirable because it is difficult to stabilize the bottom
where velocities may be high.
• Trapezoidal grass channels are used where runoff volumes are large
and slope is low so that velocities are nonerosive to vegetated linings.
(Note: it is difficult to construct small parabolic shaped channels.)
• Subsurface drainage, or riprap channel bottoms, may be necessary on
sites that are subject to prolonged wet conditions due to long duration
flows or a high water table.
• Provide outlet protection at culvert ends and at channel intersections.
• Grass channels, at a minimum, should carry peak runoff for temporary
construction drainage facilities from the 10-year, 24-hour storm
without eroding. Where flood hazard exists, increase the capacity
according to the potential damage.
• Grassed channel side slopes generally are constructed 3:1 or flatter to
aid in the establishment of vegetation and for maintenance.
• Construct channels a minimum of 0.2 foot larger around the periphery
to allow for soil bulking during seedbed preparations and sod buildup.
Maintenance During the establishment period, check grass-lined channels after every
.Standards rainfall.
• After grass is established, periodically check the channel; check it after
every heavy rainfall event. Immediately make repairs.
• It is particularly important to check the channel outlet and all road
crossings for bank stability and evidence of piping or scour holes.
• Remove all significant sediment accumulations to maintain the
designed carrying capacity. Keep the grass in a healthy, vigorous
condition at all times, since it is the primary erosion protection for the
channel_

NOTES:
I- Design velocities exceeding 2 ft/sec(0-5m/sec)require temporary blankets,mats or similar

turf reinforcement mats.
Figure 4.9—Temporary Channel Liners
4-62 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C202: Channel Lining
Purpose To protect erodible channels by providing a channel liner using either
blankets or riprap.
Conditions of Use When natural soils or vegetated stabilized soils in a channel are not adequat(
to prevent channel erosion.
• When a permanent ditch or pipe system is to be installed and a
temporary measure is needed.
• In almost all cases, synthetic and organic coconut blankets are more
effective than riprap for protecting channels from erosion. Blankets
can be used with and without vegetation. Blanketed channels can be
designed to handle any expected flow and longevity requirement.
Some synthetic blankets have a predicted life span of 50 years or
more, even in sunlight.
• Other reasons why blankets are better than rock include the availability
of blankets over rock. In many areas of the state, rock is not easily
obtainable or is very expensive to haul to a site. Blankets can be
delivered anywhere. Rock requires the use of dump trucks to haul and
heavy equipment to place. Blankets usually only require laborers with
hand tools, and sometimes a backhoe. _
• The Federal Highway Administration recommends not using flexible
liners whenever the slope exceeds 10 percent or the shear stress
exceeds 8 Ibs/ft2.
Design and See BMP C 122 for information on blankets.
Installation Since riprap is used where erosion potential is high,construction must be
Specifications sequenced so that the riprap is put in place with the minimum possible
delay.
• Disturbance of areas where riprap is to be placed should be undertaken
only when final preparation and placement of the riprap can follow
immediately behind the initial disturbance. Where riprap is used for
outlet protection, the riprap should be placed before or in conjunction
with the construction of the pipe or channel so that it is in place when
the pipe or channel begins to operate_
• The designer, after determining the riprap size that will be stable under
the flow conditions, shall consider that size to be a minimum size and
then, based on riprap gradations actually available in the area, select
the size or sizes that equal or exceed the minimum size. The
possibility of drainage structure damage by children shall be
considered in selecting a riprap size, especially if there is nearby water
or a gully in which to toss the stones.
• Stone for riprap shall consist of field stone or quarry stone of
approximately rectangular shape. The stone shall be hard and angular
and of such quality that it will not disintegrate on exposure to water or
February 2005 Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-63
weathering and it shall be suitable in all respects for the purpose
intended.
- • Rubble concrete may be used provided it has a density of at least 150
pounds per cubic foot, and otherwise meets the requirement of this
standard and specification_
• A lining of engineering fitter fabric (geotextile)shall be placed
between the riprap and the underlying soil surface to prevent soil
movement into or through the riprap. The geotextile should be keyed
in at the top of the bank.
• Filter fabric shall not be used on slopes greater than 1-1/2:1 as slippage
may occur. It should be used in conjunction with a layer of coarse
aggregate(granular filter blanket)when the riprap to be placed is 12
inches and larger_
4-64 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C203: Water Bars
Purpose A small ditch or ridge of material is constructed diagonally across a road
or right-of-way to divert stormwater runoff from the road surface, wheel
tracks,or a shallow road ditch.
Conditions of use Clearing right-of-way and construction of access for power lines, pipelines,
and other similar installations often require long narrow right-of-ways over
sloping terrain. Disturbance and compaction promotes gully formation in
these cleared strips by increasing the volume and velocity of runoff. Gully
formation may be especially severe in tire tracks and ruts. To prevent
gullying, runoff can often be diverted across the width of the right-of-way to
undisturbed areas by using small predesigned diversions.
• Give special consideration to each individual outlet area, as well as to
the cumulative effect of added diversions. Use gravel to stabilize the
diversion where significant vehicular traffic is anticipated.
Design and Height: 8-inch minimum measured from the channel bottom to the ridge top
Installation
Specifications
• Side slope of channel: 2:1 maximum; 3:1 or flatter when vehicles will
cross.
• Base width of ridge: 6-inch minimum.
• Locate them to use natural drainage systems and to discharge into well
vegetated stable areas.
• Guideline for Spacing:
Slope % Spacing(ft)
< 5 125
5 - 10 100
10 - 20 75
20- 35 50
> 35 Use rock lined ditch
• Grade of water bar and angle: Select angle that results in ditch slope
less than 2 percent.
• Install as soon as the clearing and grading is complete. Reconstruct
when construction is complete on a section when utilities are being -
installed.
• Compact the ridge when installed.
• Stabilize, seed and mulch the portions that are not subject to traffic.
Gravel the areas crossed by vehicles.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-65
37aintenance Periodically inspect right-of-way diversions for wear and after every heavy
Standards rainfall for erosion damage.
• Immediately remove sediment from the flow area and repair the dike.
• Check outlet areas and make timely repairs as needed.
• When permanent road drainage is established and the area above the
temporary right-of-way diversion is permanently stabilized, remove
the dike and fill the channel to blend with the natural ground, and
appropriately stabilize the disturbed area.
4-66 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C204: Pipe Slope Drains
Purpose To use a pipe to convey stormwater anytime water needs to be diverted
away from or over bare soil to prevent gullies, channel erosion, and
saturation of slide-prone soils.
Conditions of Use Pipe slope drains should be used when a temporary or permanent
stormwater conveyance is needed to move the water down a steep slope to
avoid erosion(Figure 4.10).
On highway projects, they should be used at bridge ends to collect runoff
and pipe it to the base of the fill slopes along bridge approaches. These
can be designed into a project and included as bid items. Another use on
road projects is to collect runoff from pavement and pipe it away from
side slopes_ These are useful because there is generally a time lag between
having the first lift of asphalt installed and the curbs, gutters, and
permanent drainage installed. Used in conjunction with sand bags,or
other temporary diversion devices, these will prevent massive amounts of
sediment from leaving a project.
Water can be collected, channeled with sand bags,Triangular Silt Dikes,
berms, or other material, and piped to temporary sediment ponds.
Pipe slope drains can be:
• Connected to new catch basins and used temporarily until all
permanent piping is installed;
• Used to drain water collected from aquifers exposed on cut slopes and
take it to the base of the slope;
• Used to collect clean runoff from plastic sheeting and direct it away
from exposed soil;
• Installed in conjunction with silt fence to drain collected water to a
controlled area;
• Used to divert small seasonal streams away from construction. They
have been used successfully on culvert replacement and extension
jobs. Large flex pipe can be used on larger streams during culvert
removal, repair, or replacement; and,
• Connected to existing down spouts and roof drains and used to divert
water away from work areas during building renovation,demolition,
and construction projects.
There are now several commercially available collectors that are attached
to the pipe inlet and help prevent erosion at the inlet.

Design and Size the pipe to convey the flow. The capacity for temporary drains shall be
Installation sufficient to handle the peak flow from a 10-year, 24-hour storm event,
Specifications assuming a Type IA rainfall distribution. Alternatively, use 1.6 times the
I0-year, I-hour flow indicated by an approved continuous runoff model.
Consult local drainage requirements for sizing permanent pipe slope drains.
• Use care in clearing vegetated slopes for installation.
• Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by installation.
• Use temporary drains on new cut or fill slopes.
- • Use diversion dikes or swales to collect water at the top of the slope.
• Ensure that the entrance area is stable and large enough to direct flow
into the pipe.
• Piping of water through the berm at the entrance area is a common
failure mode.
• The entrance shall consist of a standard flared end section for culverts
12 inches and larger with a minimum 6-inch metal toe plate to prevent
runoff from undercutting the pipe inlet. The slope of the entrance shall
be at least 3 percent. Sand bags may also be used at pipe entrances as
a temporary measure.
• The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be
thoroughly compacted to prevent undercutting.
• The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain
and have watertight connecting bands.
• Slope drain sections shall be securely fastened together, fused or have
gasketed watertight fittings, and shall be securely anchored into the
soil.
• Thrust blocks should be installed anytime 90 degree bends are utilized.
Depending on size of pipe and flow, these can be constructed with
j sand bags, straw bales staked in place, "t"posts and wire, or ecology
blocks.
• Pipe needs to be secured along its full length to prevent movement.
This can be done with steel "t"posts and wire_ A post is installed on
each side of the pipe and the pipe is wired to them. This should be
done every 10-20 feet of pipe length or so, depending on the size of
the pipe and quantity of water to diverted.
• Interceptor dikes shall be used to direct runoff into a slope drain. The
height of the dike shall be at least I foot higher at all points than the
top of the inlet pipe.
• The area below the outlet must be stabilized with a riprap apron(see
BMP C209 Outlet Protection, for the appropriate outlet material).

• If the pipe slope drain is conveying sediment-laden water, direct all
flows into the sediment trapping facility.
• Materials specifications for any permanent piped system shall be set
by the local government_
Maintenance Check inlet and outlet points regularly, especially after storms.
Standards The inlet should be free of undercutting, and no water should be going
around the point of entry. If there are problems, the headwall should be
reinforced with compacted earth or sand bags.
• The outlet point should be free of erosion and installed with
appropriate outlet protection.
• For permanent installations, inspect pipe periodically for vandalism and
physical distress such as slides and wind-throw.
• Normally the pipe slope is so steep that clogging is not a problem with
smooth wall pipe, however, debris may become lodged in the pipe.

BMP C205: Subsurface Drains
Purpose To intercept,collect, and convey ground water to a satisfactory outlet,
using a perforated pipe or conduit below the ground surface. Subsurface
drains are also known as"french drains." The perforated pipe provides a
dewatering mechanism to drain excessively wet soils, provide a stable
base for construction, improve stability of structures with shallow
foundations, or to reduce hydrostatic pressure to improve slope stability.
Conditions of Use Use when excessive water must be removed from the soil. The soil
permeability, depth to water table and impervious layers are all factors
which may govern the use of subsurface drains.
Design and Relief drains are used either to lower the water table in large,relatively
Installation flat areas, improve the growth of vegetation, or to remove surface water.
Specifications
They are installed along a slope and drain in the direction of the slope.
They can be installed in a grid pattern, a herringbone pattern, or a random
pattern.
• Interceptor drains are used to remove excess ground water from a
slope, stabilize steep slopes, and lower the water table immediately
below a slope to prevent the soil from becoming saturated.
They are installed perpendicular to a slope and drain to the side of the
slope.
They usually consist of a single pipe or series of single pipes instead of a
patterned layout.
• Depth and spacing of interceptor drains--The depth of an
interceptor drain is determined primarily by the depth to which the
water table is to be lowered or the depth to a confining layer. For
practical reasons, the maximum depth is usually limited to 6 feet, with
a minimum cover of 2 feet to protect the conduit.
• The soil should have depth and sufficient permeability to permit
installation of an effective drainage system at a depth of 2 to 6 feet.
• An adequate outlet for the drainage system must be available either by
gravity or by pumping.
• The quantity and quality of discharge needs to be accounted for in the
receiving stream(additional detention may be required).
• This standard does not apply to subsurface drains for building
_ foundations or deep excavations.
• The capacity of an interceptor drain is determined by calculating the
maximum rate of ground water flow to be intercepted. Therefore, it is
good practice to make complete subsurface investigations, including
4-70 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
hydraulic conductivity of the soil, before designing a subsurface
drainage system.
• Size of drain--Size subsurface drains to carry the required capacity
without pressure flow. Minimum diameter for a subsurface drain is 4
inches.
• The minimum velocity required to prevent silting is 1.4 ft./sec. The
line shall be graded to achieve this velocity at a minimum. The
maximum allowable velocity using a sand-gravel filter or envelope is 9
ft/sec.
• Filter material and fabric shall be used around all drains for proper
bedding and filtration of fine materials. Envelopes and filters should
surround the drain to a minimum of 3-inch thickness.
• The outlet of the subsurface drain shall empty into a sediment pond
through a catch basin. If free of sediment, it can then empty into a
receiving channel, swale, or stable vegetated area adequately protected
from erosion and undermining.
• The trench shall be constructed on a continuous grade with no reverse
grades or low spots_
• Soft or yielding soils under the drain shall be stabilized with gravel or
other suitable material.
Backfilling shall be done immediately after placement of the pipe. No
sections of pipe shall remain uncovered overnight or during a
rainstorm. Backfill material shall be placed in the trench in such a
manner that the drain pipe is not displaced or damaged.
• Do not install permanent drains near trees to avoid the tree roots that
tend to clog the line. Use solid pipe with watertight connections where
it is necessary to pass a subsurface drainage system through a stand of
trees.
• Outlet--Ensure that the outlet of a drain empties into a channel or
other watercourse above the normal water level.
• Secure an animal guard to the outlet end of the pipe to keep out
rodents.
• Use outlet pipe of corrugated metal,cast iron, or heavy-duty plastic
without perforations and at least 10 feet long. Do not use an envelope
or filter material around the outlet pipe, and bury at least two-thirds of
the pipe length.
• When outlet velocities exceed those allowable for the receiving
stream, outlet protection must be provided.
February 2005 Volume 1!— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-71
Maintenance Subsurface drains shall be checked periodically to ensure that they are
Standards free-flowing and not clogged with sediment or roots.
• The outlet shall be kept clean and free of debris.
• Surface inlets shall be kept open and free of sediment and other debris.
• Trees located too close to a subsurface drain often clog the system
with their roots_ If a drain becomes clogged, relocate the drain or
remove the trees as a last resort. Drain placement should be planned to
minimize this problem.
• Where drains are crossed by heavy vehicles, the line shall be checked
to ensure that it is not crushed.
4-72 Volume/I—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
BMP C206: Level Spreader
Purpose To provide a temporary outlet for dikes and diversions consisting of an
excavated depression constructed at zero grade across a slope. To convert
concentrated runoff to sheet flow and release it onto areas stabilized by
existing vegetation or an engineered filter strip.
Conditions of Use Used when a concentrated flow of water needs to be dispersed over a large
area with existing stable vegetation.
• Items to consider are:
1. What is the risk of erosion or damage if the flow may become
concentrated?
2. is an easement required if discharged to adjoining property?
3. Most of the flow should be as ground water and not as surface
flow.
4. Is there an unstable area downstream that cannot accept additional
ground water?
• Use only where the slopes are gentle, the water volume is relatively
low, and the soil will adsorb most of the low flow events_
Design and Use above undisturbed areas that are stabilized by existing vegetation.
Installation If the level spreader has any low points, flow will concentrate,create -
Specifications channels and may cause erosion.
• Discharge area below the outlet must be uniform with a slope of less
than 5H:IV.
• Outlet to be constructed level in a stable, undisturbed soil profile(not-
on fill)_
• The runoff shall not reconcentrate after release unless intercepted by
another downstream measure.
• The grade of the channel for the last 20 feet of the dike or interceptor
entering the level spreader shall be less than or equal to 1 percent. The
grade of the level spreader shall be 0 percent to ensure uniform
spreading of storm runoff.
• A 6-inch high gravel berm placed across the level lip shall consist of
washed crushed rock,2-to 4-inch or 3/4-inch to I Vz-inch size.
• The spreader length shall be determined by estimating the peak flow
expected from the I 0-year, 24-hour design storm. The length of the
spreader shall be a minimum of 15 feet for 0.1 cfs and shall be 10 feet
for each 0.1 cfs there after to a maximum of 0.5 cfs per spreader. Use
multiple spreaders for higher flows.
• The width of the spreader should be at least 6 feet.
February 2005 Volume I!—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-73
• The depth of the spreader as measured from the lip should be at least 6
inches and it should be uniform across the entire length.
• Level spreaders shall be setback from the property line unless there is
an easement for flow.
• Level spreaders, when installed every so often in grassy swales, keep
the flows from concentrating. Materials that can be used include sand
bags, lumber, logs,concrete, and pipe. To function properly, the
material needs to be installed level and on contour. Figures 4.1 1 and
4.12 provide a cross-section and a detail of a level spreader.
Maintenance The spreader should be inspected after every runoff event to ensure that it
Standards is functioning correctly.
• The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on the
structure and should prevent construction traffic from crossing over
the structure.
• If the spreader is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be
immediately repaired.

BMP C207: Check Dams
Purpose Construction of small dams across a swale or ditch reduces the velocity of
concentrated flow and dissipates energy at the check dam.
Conditions of Use Where temporary channels or permanent channels are not yet vegetated,
channel lining is infeasible, and velocity checks are required.
• Check dams may not be placed in streams unless approved by the State
Department of Fish and Wildlife. Check dams may not be placed in
wetlands without approval from a permitting agency.
• Check dams shall not be placed below the expected backwater from
any salmonid bearing water between October I and May 31 to ensure
that there is no loss of high flow refuge habitat for overwintering
juvenile salmonids and emergent salmonid fry.
Design and Whatever material is used, the dam should form a triangle when viewed
Installation from the side. This prevents undercutting as water flows over the face of
Specifications the dam rather than falling directly onto the ditch bottom.
Check dams in association with sumps work more effectively at slowing _
flow and retaining sediment than just a check dam alone. A deep sump
should be provided immediately upstream of the check dam.
• In some cases, if carefully located and designed, check dams can
remain as permanent installations with very minor regrading. They
may be left as either spillways, in which case accumulated sediment
would be graded and seeded, or as check dams to prevent further
sediment from leaving the site.
• Check dams can be constructed of either rock or pea-gravel filled bags.
Numerous new products are also available for this purpose. They tend
to be re-usable,quick and easy to install, effective, and cost efficient.
• Check dams should be placed perpendicular to the flow of water.
• The maximum spacing between the dams shall be such that the toe of
the upstream dam is at the same elevation as the top of the downstream
dam.
• Keep the maximum height at 2 feet at the center of the dam.
• Keep the center of the check dam at least 12 inches lower than the
outer edges at natural ground elevation.
• Keep the side slopes of the check dam at 2:1 or flatter.
• Key the stone into the ditch banks and extend it beyond the abutments
a minimum of 18 inches to avoid washouts from overflow around the
dam.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-75
• Use filter fabric foundation under a rock or sand bag check dam. If a
blanket ditch liner is used, this is not necessary. A piece of organic or
synthetic blanket cut to fit will also work for this purpose.
• Rock check dams shall be constructed of appropriately sized rock.
The rock must be placed by hand or by mechanical means(no
dumping of rock to form dam) to achieve complete coverage of the
ditch or Swale and to ensure that the center of the dam is lower than
the edges. The rock used must be large enough to stay in place given
the expected design flow through the channel.
• In the case of grass-lined ditches and swales, all check dams and
accumulated sediment shall be removed when the grass has matured
sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale- unless the slope of the swale
is greater than 4 percent. The area beneath the check dams shall be
seeded and mulched immediately after dam removal.
• Ensure that channel appurtenances, such as culvert entrances below
check dams, are not subject to damage or blockage from displaced
stones. Figure 4.13 depicts a typical rock check dam.
Maintenance Check dams shall be monitored for performance and sediment
Standards accumulation during and after each runoff producing rainfall. Sediment
shall be removed when it reaches one half the sump depth.
• Anticipate submergence and deposition above the check dam and
erosion from high flows around the edges of the dam.
• If significant erosion occurs between dams, install a protective riprap
liner in that portion of the channel.

BMP C208: Triangular Silt Dike (Geotextile-Encased Check Dam)
Purpose Triangular silt dikes may be used as check dams, for perimeter protection,
for temporary soil stockpile protection, for drop inlet protection, or as a
temporary interceptor dike.
Conditions of use May be used in place of straw bales for temporary check dams in ditches
of any dimension.
• May be used on soil or pavement with adhesive or staples.
• TSDs have been used to build temporary:
1. sediment ponds;
2. diversion ditches;
3. concrete wash out facilities;
4. curbing;
5. water bars;
b. level spreaders; and,
7. berms.
Design and Made of urethane foam sewn into a woven geosynthetic fabric.
Installation It is triangular, 10 inches to 14 inches high in the center, with a 20-inch to
Specifications 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.
• Install with ends curved up to prevent water from flowing around the
ends.
• The fabric flaps and check dam units are attached to the ground with
wire staples. Wire staples should be No. I 1 gauge wire and should be
200 mm to 300 mm in length.
• When multiple units are installed, the sleeve of fabric at the end of the
unit shall overlap the abutting unit and be stapled.
• Check dams should be located and installed as soon as construction
will allow.
• Check dams should be placed perpendicular to the flow of water.
• When used as check dams,the leading edge must be secured with
rocks, sandbags,or a small key slot and staples.
• In the case of grass-lined ditches and swales, check dams and
accumulated sediment shall be removed when the grass has matured
sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale unless the slope of the swale
is greater than 4 percent. The area beneath the check dams shall be
seeded and mulched immediately after dam removal.
Maintenance • Triangular silt dams shall be monitored for performance and sediment
Standards accumulation during and after each runoff producing rainfall-
4-78 Volume lI—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one half the height of the
dam.
• Anticipate submergence and deposition above the triangular silt dam
and erosion from high flows around the edges of the dam.
Immediately repair any damage or any undercutting of the dam.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-79
BMP C209: Outlet Protection
Purpose Outlet protection prevents scour at conveyance outlets and minimizes the
potential for downstream erosion by reducing the velocity of concentrated
stormwater flows.
Conditions of use Outlet protection is required at the outlets of all ponds,pipes,ditches, or
other conveyances, and where runoff is conveyed to a natural or manmade
drainage feature such as a stream, wetland, lake, or ditch.
Design and The receiving channel at the outlet of a culvert shall be protected from
Installation erosion by rock lining a minimum of 6 feet downstream and extending up
Specifications the channel sides a minimum of 1—foot above the maximum tailwater
elevation or I-foot above the crown, whichever is higher. For large pipes
(more than 18 inches in diameter), the outlet protection lining of the
channel is lengthened to four times the diameter of the culvert.
• Standard wingwalls, and tapered outlets and paved channels should
also be considered when appropriate for permanent culvert outlet
protection. (See WSDOT Hydraulic Manual, available through
WSDOT Engineering Publications).
• Organic or synthetic erosion blankets, with or without vegetation, are
usually more effective than rock, cheaper, and easier to install.
Materials can be chosen using manufacturer product specifications.
ASTM test results are available for most products and the designer can
- choose the correct material for the expected flow.
• With low flows, vegetation(including sod) can be effective.
• The following guidelines shall be used for riprap outlet protection:
1. If the discharge velocity at the outlet is less than 5 fps(pipe slope
less than 1 percent), use 2-inch to 8-inch riprap. Minimum
thickness is 1-foot.
2. For 5 to 10 fps discharge velocity at the outlet(pipe slope less than
3 percent), use 24-inch to 4-foot riprap. Minimum thickness is 2
feet.
3. For outlets at the base of steep slope pipes(pipe slope greater than
10 percent), an engineered energy dissipater shall be used.
• Filter fabric or erosion control blankets should always be used under
riprap to prevent scour and channel erosion.
• New pipe outfalls can provide an opportunity for low-cost fish habitat
improvements. For example, an alcove of low-velocity water can be
created by constructing the pipe outfall and associated energy
dissipater back from the stream edge and digging a channel, over-
widened to the upstream side, from the outfall. Overwintering juvenile
and migrating adult salmonids may use the alcove as shelter during
4-80 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
high flows. Bank stabilization, bioengineering, and habitat features
may be required for disturbed areas. See Volume V for more
information on outfall system design.
Maintenance • Inspect and repair as needed.
Standards
• Add rock as needed to maintain the intended function.
• Clean energy dissipater if sediment builds up.
February 2005 Volume /I— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-81
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Purpose To prevent coarse sediment from entering drainage systems prior to
permanent stabilization of the disturbed area.
Conditions of Use Where storm drain inlets are to be made operational before permanent
stabilization of the disturbed drainage area. Protection should 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. Inlet protection may be used
anywhere to protect the drainage system. It is likely that the drainage
system will still require cleaning.
Table 4.9 lists several options for inlet protection. All of the methods for
storm drain inlet protection are prone to plugging and require a high
frequency of maintenance. Drainage areas should be limited to 1 acre or
less. Emergency overflows may be required where stormwater ponding
would cause a hazard. If an emergency overflow is provided, additional
end-of-pipe treatment may be required.

• Place wire mesh over the drop inlet so that the wire extends a
minimum of 1-foot beyond each side of the inlet structure.
• If more than one strip of mesh is necessary, overlap the strips.
• Place coarse aggregate over the wire mesh.
• The depth of the gravel should be at least 12 inches over the entire
inlet opening and extend at least 18 inches on all sides.

Cacchbasin Filters- Inserts should be designed by the manufacturer for
use at construction sites. The limited sediment storage capacity increases
the amount of inspection and maintenance required, which may be daily
for heavy sediment loads. The maintenance requirements can be reduced
by combining a catchbasin filter with another type of inlet protection.
This type of inlet protection provides flow bypass without overflow and
therefore may be a better method for inlets located along active rights-of-
way.
• 5 cubic feet of storage.
• Dewatering provisions.
• High-flow bypass that will not clog under normal use at a construction
site.
• The catchbasin filter is inserted in the catchbasin just below the
grating.
Curb Inlet Protection with Wooden Weir Barrier formed around a curb
inlet with a wooden frame and gravel.
• Wire mesh with '/2-inch openings.
• Extra strength filter cloth.
• Construct a frame.
• Attach the wire and filter fabric to the frame.
• Pile coarse washed aggregate against wire/fabric.
• Place weight on frame anchors.
Block and Gravel Curb Inlet Protection— Barrier formed around an inlet
with concrete blocks and gravel. See Figure 4.14.
• Wire mesh with '/z-inch openings.
• Place two concrete blocks on their sides abutting the curb at either side
of the inlet opening. These are spacer blocks_
• Place a 2x4 stud through the outer holes of each spacer block to align
the front blocks.
• Place blocks on their sides across the front of the inlet and abutting the
spacer blocks.
• Place wire mesh over the outside vertical face.
• Pile coarse aggregate against the wire to the top of the barrier.
Curb and Gutter Sediment Barrier— Sandbag or rock berm(riprap and
aggregate) 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in a horseshoe shape. See Figure
4.16.
• Construct a horseshoe shaped berm, faced with coarse aggregate if
using riprap, 3 feet high and 3 feet wide, at least 2 feet from the inlet.
• Construct a horseshoe shaped sedimentation trap on the outside of the
berm sized to sediment trap standards for protecting a culvert inlet.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-85
Maintenance • Catch basin filters should be inspected frequently, especially after
Standards storm events. If the insert becomes clogged, it should be cleaned or
replaced.
• For systems using stone filters: If the stone filter becomes clogged
with sediment, the stones must be pulled away from the inlet and
cleaned or replaced. Since cleaning of gravel at a construction site
may be difficult, an alternative approach would be to use the clogged
stone as fill and put fresh stone around the inlet.
• Do not wash sediment into storm drains while cleaning. Spread all
excavated material evenly over the surrounding land area or stockpile
and stabilize as appropriate.

BMP C230: Straw Bale Barrier
Pu,pose To decrease the velocity of sheet flows and intercept and detain small
amounts of sediment from disturbed areas of limited extent, preventing
sediment from leaving the site. See Figure 4.17 for details on straw bale
barriers.
Conditions of Use Below disturbed areas subject to sheet and rill erosion.
• Straw bales are among the most used and least effective BMPs. The
best use of a straw bale is hand spread on the site.
• Where the size of the drainage area is no greater than 1/4 acre per 100
feet of barrier length; the maximum slope length behind the barrier is
100 feet; and the maximum slope gradient behind the barrier is 2:1.
• Where effectiveness is required for less than three months.
• Under no circumstances should straw bale barriers be constructed
in streams, channels,or ditches.
• Straw bale barriers should not be used where rock or hard surfaces
prevent the full and uniform anchoring of the barrier.
Design and Bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise on the contour, with ends
Installation of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another.
Specifications All bales shall be either wire-bound or string-tied. Straw bales shall be
installed so that bindings are oriented around the sides rather than along
the tops and bottoms of the bales in order to prevent deterioration of the
bindings.
• The barrier shall be entrenched and backfilled. A trench shall be
excavated the width of a bale and the length of the proposed barrier to
a minimum depth of 4 inches. The trench must be deep enough to
remove all grass and other material that might allow underflow. After
the bales are staked and chinked(filled by wedging), the excavated
soil shall be backfilled against the barrier. Backfill soil shall conform
to the ground level on the downhill side and shall be built up to 4
inches against the uphill side of the barrier.
• Each bale shall be securely anchored by at least two stakes or re-bars
driven through the bale. The first stake in each bale shall be driven
toward the previously laid bale to force the bales together. Stakes or
re-bars shall be driven deep enough into the ground to securely anchor
the bales. Stakes should not extend above the bales but instead should
be driven in flush with the top of the bale for safety reasons.
• The gaps between the bales shall be chinked(filled by wedging) with
straw to prevent water from escaping between the bales. Loose straw
scattered over the area immediately uphill from a straw bale barrier
tends to increase barrier efficiency. Wedging must be done carefully
in order not to separate the bales.
February 2005 Volume Il—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-89
,Maintenance Straw bale barriers shall be inspected immediately after each runoff-
Standards producing rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall.
• Close attention shall be paid to the repair of damaged bales, end runs,
and undercutting beneath bales.
• Necessary repairs to barriers or replacement of bales shall be
accomplished promptly.
• Sediment deposits should be removed after each runoff-producing
rainfall. They must be removed when the level of deposition reaches
approximately one-half the height of the barrier.
• Any sediment deposits remaining in place after the straw bale barrier
is no longer required shall be dressed to conform to the existing grade,
prepared and seeded.
• Straw bales used as a temporary straw bale barrier shall be removed
after project completion and stabilization to prevent sprouting of
unwanted vegetation.

BMP C231: Brush Barrier
Purpose The purpose of brush barriers is to reduce the transport of coarse sediment
from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to
sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use Brush barriers may be used downslope of all disturbed areas of less
than one-quarter acre.
• Brush barriers are not intended to treat concentrated flows. nor are
they intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any
concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow can be
treated solely by a barrier, rather than by a sediment pond, is when the
area draining to the barrier is small.
• Brush barriers should only be installed on contours.
Design and • Height 2 feet(minimum) to 5 feet (maximum)_
Installation . Width 5 feet at base(minimum) to 15 feet (maximum)_
Specifications
• Filter fabric(geotextile) may be anchored over the brush berm to
enhance the filtration ability of the barrier. Ten-ounce burlap is an
adequate alternative to filter fabric.
• Chipped site vegetation,composted mulch, or wood-based mulch (hog
fuel)can be used to construct brush barriers.
• A 100 percent biodegradable installation can be constructed using 10-
ounce burlap held in place by wooden stakes. Figure 4.18 depicts a
typical brush barrier.
Maintenance • There shall be no signs of erosion or concentrated runoff under or
Standards around the barrier. If concentrated flows are bypassing the barrier, it
must be expanded or augmented by toed-in filter fabric.
• The dimensions of the barrier must be maintained.

BMP C233: Silt Fence
Purpose Use of a silt fence reduces the transport of coarse sediment from a
construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment
and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. See Figure 4.19 for
details on silt fence construction.
Conditions of Use Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
• 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 pond.
The only circumstance in which overland flow can be treated solely by
a silt fence, rather than by a sediment pond, is when the area draining
to the fence is one acre or less and flow rates are less than 0.5 cfs.
• Silt fences should not be constructed in streams or used in V-shaped
ditches. They are not an adequate method of silt control for anything
deeper than sheet or overland flow.
Joints in filter fabric shall be spliced at
posts.Use staples,wire rings or
equivalent to attach fabric to posts 2"x2"by 14 Ga.wire or

• Standard strength fabrics shall be supported with wire mesh, chicken
wire, 2-inch x 2-inch wire, safety fence, or jute mesh to increase the
strength of the fabric. Silt fence materials are available that have
synthetic mesh backing attached.
• Filter fabric material shall contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and
stabilizers to provide a minimum of six months of expected usable
construction life at a temperature range of 0°F. to 120°F_
100 percent biodegradable silt fence is available that is strong, long
lasting, and can be left in place after the project is completed, if
permitted by local regulations_
• Standard Notes for construction plans and specifications follow. Refer
to Figure 4.19 for standard slit fence details.
The contractor shall install and maintain temporary silt fences at the
locations shown in the Plans. The silt fences shall be constructed in
the areas of clearing, grading, or drainage prior to starting those
activities. A silt fence shall not be considered temporary if the silt
fence must function beyond the life of the contract_ The silt fence
shall prevent soil carried by runoff water from going beneath, through,
or over the top of the silt fence, but shall allow the water to pass
through the fence.
The minimum height of the top of silt fence shall be 2 feet and the
maximum height shall be 2'h feet above the original ground surface.
The geotextile shall be sewn together at the point of manufacture, or at
an approved location as determined by the Engineer, to form geotextile
lengths as required. All sewn seams shall be located at a support post.
Alternatively, two sections of silt fence can be overlapped, provided
the Contractor can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, that
the overlap is long enough and that the adjacent fence sections are
close enough together to prevent silt laden water from escaping
through the fence at the overlap.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-95
The geotextile shall be attached on the up-slope side of the posts and
support system with staples, wire, or in accordance with the
-- manufacturer's recommendations. The geotextile shall be attached to
the posts in a manner that reduces the potential for geotextile tearing at
the staples, wire,or other connection device. Silt fence back-up
support for the geotextile in the form of a wire or plastic mesh is
dependent on the properties of the geotextile selected for use. If wire
or plastic back-up mesh is used, the mesh shall be fastened securely to
the up-slope of the posts with the geotextile being up-slope of the
mesh back-up support.
The geotextile at the bottom of the fence shall be buried in a trench to
a minimum depth of 4 inches below the ground surface. The trench
shall be backfilled and the soil tamped in place over the buried portion
of the geotextile, such that no flow can pass beneath the fence and
scouring can not occur. When wire or polymeric back-up support
mesh is used, the wire or polymeric mesh shall extend into the trench a
minimum of 3 inches.
The fence posts shall be placed or driven a minimum of 18 inches_ A
minimum depth of 12 inches is allowed if topsoil or other soft
subgrade soil is not present and a minimum depth of 18 inches cannot
be reached. Fence post depths shall be increased by 6 inches if the
fence is located on slopes of 3:1 or steeper and the slope is
perpendicular to the fence. If required post depths cannot be obtained,
the posts shall be adequately secured by bracing or guying to prevent
overturning of the fence due to sediment loading_
Silt fences shall be located on contour as much as possible, except at
the ends of the fence, where the fence shall be turned uphill such that
the silt fence captures the runoff water and prevents water from
flowing around the end of the fence.
If the fence must cross contours, with the exception of the ends of the
fence, gravel check dams placed perpendicular to the back of the fence
shall be used to minimize concentrated flow and erosion along the
back of the fence. The gravel check dams shall be approximately I-
foot deep at the back of the fence. It shall be continued perpendicular
to the fence at the same elevation until the top of the check dam
intercepts the ground surface behind the fence. The gravel check dams
shall consist of crushed surfacing base course, gravel backfill for
walls, or shoulder ballast_ The gravel check dams shall be located
every 10 feet along the fence where the fence must cross contours_
The slope of the fence line where contours must be crossed shall not
be steeper than 3:1.
Wood, steel or equivalent posts shall be used. Wood posts shall have
minimum dimensions of 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 feet minimum
length, and shall be free of defects such as knots, splits, or gouges.
4-96 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Steel posts shall consist of either size No. 6 rebar or larger, ASTM A
120 steel pipe with a minimum diameter of 1-inch, U, T, L,or C shape
steel posts with a minimum weight of 1.35 lbs./ft.or other steel posts
having equivalent strength and bending resistance to the post sizes
listed. The spacing of the support posts shall be a maximum of 6 feet.
Fence back-up support, if used, shall consist of steel wire with a
maximum mesh spacing of 2 inches, or a prefabricated polymeric
mesh. The strength of the wire or polymeric mesh shall be equivalent
to or greater than 180 lbs. grab tensile strength. The polymeric mesh
must be as resistant to ultraviolet radiation as the geotextile it supports.
• Silt fence installation using the slicing method specification details
follow. Refer to Figure 4.20 for slicing method details.
The base of both end posts must be at least 2 to 4 inches above the top
of the silt fence fabric on the middle posts for ditch checks to drain
properly. Use a hand level or string level, if necessary,to mark base
points before installation.
Install posts 3 to 4 feet apart in critical retention areas and 6 to 7 feet
apart in standard applications.
Install posts 24 inches deep on the downstream side of the silt fence,
and as close as possible to the fabric,enabling posts to support the
fabric from upstream water pressure.
Install posts with the nipples facing away from the silt fence fabric.
Attach the fabric to each post with three ties, all spaced within the top
8 inches of the fabric. Attach each tie diagonally 45 degrees through
the fabric, with each puncture at least 1 inch vertically apart. In
addition, each tie should be positioned to hang on a post nipple when
tightening to prevent sagging.
Wrap approximately 6 inches of fabric around the end posts and secure
with 3 ties.
No more than 24 inches of a 36-inch fabric is allowed above ground
level.
The rope lock system must be used in all ditch check applications.
The installation should be checked and corrected for any deviation
before compaction. Use a flat-bladed shovel to tuck fabric deeper into
the ground if necessary.
Compaction is vitally important for effective results. Compact the soil
immediately next to the silt fence fabric with the front wheel of the
tractor, skid steer, or roller exerting at least 60 pounds per square inch.
Compact the upstream side first and then each side twice for a total of
four trips.

• Any damage shall be repaired immediately.
Maintenance If concentrated flows are evident uphill of the fence, they must be
Standards intercepted and conveyed to a sediment pond.
• 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.
• Sediment deposits shall either be removed when the deposit reaches
approximately one-third the height of the silt fence, or a second silt
fence shall be installed.
• If the filter fabric(geotextile) has deteriorated due to ultraviolet
breakdown it shall be replaced.

BMP C234: Vegetated Strip
Purpose Vegetated strips reduce the transport of coarse sediment from a
construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment
and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use 0 Vegetated strips may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
• Vegetated strips are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are
they intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any
concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow can be
treated solely by a strip, rather than by a sediment pond, is when the
following criteria are met(see Table 4.11):
Table 4.11
Vegetated Strips
Average Sloe Slope Percent Flow path Length
1.5H:1 V or less 67%or less 100 feet
2H:1 V or less 50%or less 1 l 5 feet
4H:1 V or less 25%or less ISO feet
6H:1 V or less 16.7%or less 200 feet
1 OH:I V or less 10%or less 250 feet
Design and The vegetated strip shall consist of a minimum of a 25-foot wide
Installation continuous strip of dense vegetation with a permeable topsoil. Grass-
Specifications covered, landscaped areas are generally not adequate because the
volume of sediment overwhelms the grass. Ideally, vegetated strips
shall consist of undisturbed native growth with a well-developed soil
that allows for infiltration of runoff.
• The slope within the strip shall not exceed 4H:I V.
• The uphill boundary of the vegetated strip shall be delineated with
clearing limits.
Maintenance Any areas damaged by erosion or construction activity shall be seeded
Standards immediately and protected by mulch.
• If more than 5 feet of the original vegetated strip width has had
vegetation removed or is being eroded, sod must be installed.
• If there are indications that concentrated flows are traveling across the -
buffer, surface water controls must be installed to reduce the flows
entering the buffer,or additional perimeter protection must be
installed.
February 2005 Volume tl—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-99
BMP C235: Straw Wattles
Purpose Straw wattles are temporary erosion and sediment control barriers
consisting of straw that is wrapped in biodegradable tubular plastic or
similar encasing material. They reduce the velocity and can spread the
flow of rill and sheet runoff, and can capture and retain sediment. 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. See Figure 4.21 for typical
construction details.
Conditions of U.ve • Disturbed areas that require immediate erosion protection.
• Exposed soils during the period of short construction delays, or over
winter months.
• On slopes requiring stabilization until permanent vegetation can be
established.
• Straw wattles are effective for one to two seasons.
• If conditions are appropriate, wattles can be staked to the ground using
willow cuttings for added revegetation.
• Rilling can occur beneath wattles if not properly entrenched and water
can pass between wattles if not tightly abutted together.
Design Criteria . It is critical that wattles are installed perpendicular to the flow
direction and parallel to the slope contour.
• Narrow trenches should be dug across the slope on contour to a depth
of 3 to 5 inches on clay soils and soils with gradual slopes. On loose
soils, steep slopes, and areas with high rainfall, the trenches should be
dug to a depth of 5 to 7 inches, or 1/2 to 2/3 of the thickness of the
wattle_
• Start building trenches and installing wattles from the base of the slope
and work up. Excavated material should be spread evenly along the
uphill slope and compacted using hand tamping or other methods.
• 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.
• Install the wattles snugly into the trenches and abut tightly end to end.
Do not overlap the ends.
• Install stakes at each end of the wattle, and at 4-foot centers along
entire length of wattle.
• If required, install pilot holes for the stakes using a straight bar to drive
holes through the wattle and into the soil.
• At a minimum, wooden stakes should be approximately 3/4 x 3/4 x 24
inches_ Willow cuttings or 3/8-inch rebar can also be used for stakes.
4-100 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Maintenance . Stakes should be driven through the middle of the wattle, leaving 2 to 3
Standards inches of the stake protruding above the wattle.
• Wattles may require maintenance to ensure they are in contact with soil
and thoroughly entrenched, especially after significant rainfall on steep
sandy soils.
• Inspect the slope after significant storms and repair any areas where
wattles are not tightly abutted or water has scoured beneath the wattles.

BMP C240: Sediment Trap
Purpose A sediment trap is a small temporary ponding area with a gravel outlet
used to collect and store sediment from sites cleared and/or graded during
construction. Sediment traps, along with other perimeter controls, shall be
installed before any land disturbance takes place in the drainage area.
Conditions of Use Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff must pass through a
sediment pond or trap or other appropriate sediment removal best
management practice. Non-engineered sediment traps may be used on-site
prior to an engineered sediment trap or sediment pond to provide
additional sediment removal capacity.
It is intended for use on sites where the tributary drainage area is less than
3 acres, with no unusual drainage features, and a projected build-out time
of six months or less. The sediment trap is a temporary measure(with a
design life of approximately 6 months)and shall be maintained until the
site area is permanently protected against erosion by vegetation and/or
structures.
Sediment traps and ponds are only effective in removing sediment down
to about the medium silt size fraction. Runoff with sediment of finer
grades(fine silt and clay)will pass through untreated, emphasizing the
need to control erosion to the maximum extent first.
Whenever possible, sediment-laden water shall be discharged into onsite,
relatively level, vegetated areas(see BMP C234—Vegetated Strip). This
is the only way to effectively remove fine particles from runoff unless
chemical treatment or filtration is used. This can be particularly useful
after initial treatment in a sediment trap or pond. The areas of release
must be evaluated on a site-by-site basis in order to determine appropriate
locations for and methods of releasing runoff. Vegetated wetlands shall
not be used for this purpose. Frequently, it may be possible to pump water
from the collection point at the downhill end of the site to an upslope
vegetated area. Pumping shall only augment the treatment system, not
replace it, because of the possibility of pump failure or runoff volume in
excess of pump capacity.
All projects that are constructing permanent facilities for runoff quantity
control should use the rough-graded or final-graded permanent facilities
for traps and ponds. This includes combined facilities and infiltration
facilities. When permanent facilities are used as temporary sedimentation
facilities, the surface area requirement of a sediment trap or pond must be
met. If the surface area requirements are larger than the surface area of
the permanent facility, then the trap or pond shall be enlarged to comply
with the surface area requirement. The permanent pond shall also be
divided into two cells as required for sediment ponds.
4-102 Volume It-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005
Either a permanent control structure or the temporary control structure
(described in BMP C241, Temporary Sediment Pond)can be used. If a
permanent control structure is used, it may be advisable to partially restrict
the lower orifice with gravel to increase residence time while still allowing
dewatering of the pond. A shut-off valve may be added to the control
structure to allow complete retention of stormwater in emergency
situations. In this case, an emergency overflow weir must be added.
A skimmer may be used for the sediment trap outlet if approved by the
Local Permitting Authority.
Design and • See Figures 4.22 and 4.23 for details_
Installation
Specifications • If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they
should be used for sediment retention.
• To determine the sediment trap geometry, first calculate the design
surface area(SA)of the trap, measured at the invert of the weir. Use
the following equation:
SA = FS(Q2/Vs)
where
Q2 = Design inflow based on the peak discharge from the
developed 2-year runoff event from the contributing
drainage area as computed in the hydrologic analysis. The
10-year peak flow shall be used if the project size, expected
timing and duration of construction, or downstream
conditions warrant a higher level of protection. If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may
be used.
Vs = The settling velocity of the soil particle of interest_ The
0.02 mm (medium silt) particle with an assumed density of
2.65 g/cm3 has been selected as the particle of interest and
has a settling velocity (Vs)of 0.00096 ft/sec.
FS = A safety factor of 2 to account for non-ideal settling.
Therefore, the equation for computing surface area becomes:
SA = 2 x Q2/0.00096 or
2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Note: Evenif e f v permanent anent facilities are used,they must still have a
surface area that is at least as large as that derived from the above
formula. If they do not, the pond must be enlarged.
• To aid in determining sediment depth, all sediment traps shall have a
staff gauge with a prominent mark 1-foot above the bottom of the trap.

• Sediment traps may not be feasible on utility projects due to the
limited work space or the short-term nature of the work. Portable
tanks may be used in place of sediment traps for utility projects.

BMP C241: Temporary Sediment Pond
Purpose Sediment ponds remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed
areas of the site. Sediment ponds are typically designed to remove
sediment no smaller than medium silt(0.02 mm)_ Consequently, they
usually reduce turbidity only slightly.
Conditions of[lve Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff must pass through a
sediment pond or other appropriate sediment removal best management
practice.
A sediment pond shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3
acres or more.. Ponds must be used in conjunction with erosion control
practices to reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the basin.
Design and Sediment basins must be installed only on sites where failure of the
Installation structure would not result in loss of life, damage to homes or
Specifications buildings, or interruption of use or service of public roads or utilities.
Also, sediment traps and ponds are attractive to children and can be
very dangerous. Compliance with local ordinances regarding health
and safety must be addressed. If fencing of the pond is required, the
- type of fence and its location shall be shown on the ESC plan.
• Structures having a maximum storage capacity at the top of the dam of
10 acre-ft(435,600 ft)or more are subject to the Washington Dam
Safety Regulations(Chapter 173-175 WAC).
• See Figure 4.24, Figure 4.25, and Figure 4.26 for details.
• If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they
should be used for sediment retention. The surface area requirements
of the sediment basin must be met. This may require enlarging the
permanent basin to comply with the surface area requirements. 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 basin.
• Use of infiltration facilities for sedimentation basins during
construction tends to clog the soils and reduce their capacity to
infiltrate. If infiltration facilities are to be used, the sides and bottom
of the facility must only be rough excavated to a minimum of 2 feet
above final grade. Final grading of the infiltration facility shall occur
only when all contributing drainage areas are fully stabilized. The
infiltration pretreatment facility should be fully constructed and used
with the sedimentation basin to help prevent clogging.
• Determining Pond Geometry
Obtain the discharge from the hydrologic calculations of the peak flow
for the 2-year runoff event (Q2). The 10-year peak flow shall be used
if the project size, expected timing and duration of construction,or
downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection. If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-105
Detennine the required surface area at the top of the riser pipe with the
equation:
SA = 2 x Q210.00096 or
2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
See BMP C240 for more information on the derivation of the surface
area calculation.
The basic geometry of the pond can now be determined using the
following design criteria:
• Required surface area SA (from Step 2 above)at top of riser.
• Minimum 3.5-foot depth from top of riser to bottom of pond.
• Maximum 3A interior side slopes and maximum 2:1 exterior slopes.
The interior slopes can 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 1-foot deep spillway.
• Length-to-width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1.
• Sizing of Discharge Mechanisms.
The outlet for the basin consists of a combination of principal and
emergency spillways_ These outlets must pass the peak runoff expected
from the contributing drainage area for a 100-year storm. If,due to site
conditions and basin geometry,a separate emergency spill-way is not
feasible, the principal spillway must pass the entire peak runoff expected
from the 100-year storm. However,an attempt to provide a separate
emergency spillway should always be made. The runoff calculations
should be based on the site conditions during construction. The flow
through the dewatering orifice cannot be utilized when calculating the
100-year storm elevation because of its potential to become clogged;
therefore,available spillway storage must begin at the principal spillway
riser crest.
The principal spillway designed by the procedures contained in this
standard will result in some reduction in the peak rate of runoff.
However,the riser outlet design will not adequately control the basin
discharge to the predevelopment discharge limitations as stated in
Minimum Requirement#T Flow Control. However, if the basin for a
permanent stormwater detention pond is used for a temporary
sedimentation basin, the control structure for the permanent pond can be
used to maintain predevelopment discharge limitations. The size of the
basin,the expected life of the construction project, the anticipated
downstream effects and the anticipated weather conditions during
construction, should be considered to determine the need of additional
discharge control. See Figure 4.28 for riser inflow curves.

Principal Spillway: Determine the required diameter for the principal
spillway (riser pipe). The diameter shall be the minimum necessary to
pass the pre-developed 10-year peak flow (Q10). Use Figure 4.28 to
determine this diameter(h = 1-foot). Note:A permanent control structure
may be used instead of a temporary riser.
Emergency Overflow Spillway: Determine the required size and design
of the emergency overflow spillway for the developed 100-year peak flow
using the method contained in Volume III.
Dewatering Orifice: Determine the size of the dewatering orifice(s)
(minimum 1-inch diameter) using a modified version of the discharge
equation fora vertical orifice and a basic equation for the area of a circular
orifice. Determine the required area of the orifice with the following
equation:
AS(2h)o.s
A° 0.60600Tgos
where Ao = orifice area(square feet)
As = pond surface area(square feet)
h = head of water above orifice(height of riser in feet)
T = dewatering time(24 hours)
g = acceleration of gravity (32.2 feet/second2)
Convert the required surface area to the required diameter D of the orifice:
D = 24x r-IrL
= 13.54x A°
The vertical,perforated tubing connected to the dewatering orifice must be
at least 2 inches larger in diameter than the orifice to improve flow
characteristics. The size and number of perforations in the tubing should
be large enough so that the tubing does not restrict flow. The orifice
should control the flow rate.
• Additional Design Specifications
The pond shall be divided into two roughly equal volume cells by a -
permeable divider that will reduce turbulence while allowing
movement of water between cells. The divider shall be at least one-
half the height of the riser and a minimum of one foot below the top of
the riser. Wire-backed, 2-to 3-foot high, extra strength filter fabric
supported by treated 4"x4"s can be used as a divider. Alternatively,
staked straw bales wrapped with filter fabric (geotextile)may be used.
If the pond is more than 6 feet deep, a different mechanism must be
proposed. A riprap embankment is one acceptable method of
separation for deeper ponds. Other designs that satisfy the intent of
February 2005 Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-109
this provision are allowed as long as the divider is permeable,
structurally sound, and designed to prevent erosion under or around
the barrier.
To aid in determining sediment depth, one-foot intervals shall be
prominently marked on the riser.
If an embankment of more than 6 feet is proposed, the pond must
comply with the criteria contained in Volume III regarding dam safety
for detention BMPs.
• The most common structural failure of sedimentation basins is caused
by piping.. Piping refers to two phenomena: (1) water seeping through
fine-grained soil, eroding the soil grain by grain and forming pipes or
tunnels; and,(2)water under pressure flowing upward through a
granular soil with a head of sufficient magnitude to cause soil grains to
lose contact and capability for support.
The most critical construction sequences to prevent piping will be:
l. Tight connections between riser and barrel and other pipe
connections.
2. Adequate anchoring of riser.
3. Proper soil compaction of the embankment and riser footing.
4. Proper construction of anti-seep devices_
Maintenance • Sediment shall be removed from the pond when it reaches I-foot in
Standards depth.
• Any damage to the pond embankments or slopes shall be repaired.

BMP C250: Construction Stormwater Chemical Treatment
Purpose This BMP applies when using stormwater chemicals in batch treatment or
flow-through treatment_
Turbidity is difficult to control once fine particles are suspended in
stormwater runoff from a construction site. Sedimentation ponds are
effective at removing larger particulate matter by gravity settling, but are
ineffective at removing smaller particulates such as clay and fine silt.
Traditional erosion and sediment control BMPs may not be adequate to
ensure compliance with the water quality standards for turbidity in
receiving water.
Chemical treatment can reliably provide exceptional reductions of
turbidity and associated pollutants. Chemical treatment may be required
to meet turbidity stormwater discharge requirements, especially when
construction is to proceed through the wet season.
Conditions of Use Formal written approval from Ecology is required for the use of
chemical treatment regardless of site size. The Local Permitting
Authority may also require review and approval. When approved,
the chemical treatment system must be included in the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Design and See Appendix II-B for background information on chemical treatment.
Installation
Specifications 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/index.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 rates.
• The pH of the stormwater must be in the proper range for the polymers
to be effective, which is typically 6.5 to 8.5.
• The coagulant must be mixed rapidly into the water to ensure proper
dispersion.
February 2005 Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 1
• 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),
an untreated stormwater 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 the 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 require
special engineering analyses.
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
February 2005 Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 2
adjustments should be based on daily bench tests. Further pH adjustments
can be made at any point in the process.
Once the stormwater is within the desired pH range(dependant on
polymer being used), the stormwater is pumped from the untreated
stormwater storage pond to a treatment cell as polymer is added_ The
polymer is added upstream of the pump to facilitate rapid mixing.
After polymer addition, the water is kept in a lined treatment cell for
clarification of the sediment-floc. In a batch mode process, clarification
typically takes from 30 minutes to several hours. Prior to discharge
samples are withdrawn for analysis of pH 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.
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
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 3
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 non-corrosive containment for acid, caustic, buffering
compound, and treatment chemical;
• emergency shower and eyewash, and
• monitoring equipment.
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 the volume of stormwater
that is produced during multiple day storm events. It is recommended that
at a minimum the untreated stormwater storage pond be sized to hold 1.5
times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Bypass
should be provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate
extreme storm events. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the
methods presented in Volume 3, Chapter 2. Worst-case land cover
conditions(i.e.,producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses(in
most cases, this would be the land cover conditions just prior to final
landscaping).
Primary settling should be encouraged in the untreated stormwater storage
pond. A forebay with access for maintenance may be beneficial.
February 2005 Volume /1—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4
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 lake, flow control exempt receiving water
listed in Appendix E of Volume I,or to an infiltration system, there is no
discharge flow limit.
Ponds sized for flow control water bodies must at a minimum meet the
sizing criteria for flow control exempt waters.
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow
Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow
control exempt water bodies,the treatment system capacity should be a
factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be sized to
hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event
minus the treatment system flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-
enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system flowrate should be
sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6-8 gpm/ft2. Other hydraulic
loading rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should
be provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate
extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Volume 3,Chapter 2. Worst-case land cover conditions (i.e.,
producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses(in most cases, this
would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition
must also control stormwater release rates during construction.
Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed
discharge rates from '/z 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:
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 5
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 '/2 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 '/z 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 '/z of the 2-year. The increase(s)
above '/2 of the 2-year must be such that they provide some
relief to the untreated stormwater storage needs but at the same
time will not cause violations of the flow duration standard at
the higher flows. The final design SSD table will identify the
appropriate pumping rates and the corresponding stage and
storages.
• When building such a flow control system, the design must
ensure that any automatic adjustments to the pumping rates
will be as a result of changes to the available storage in
accordance with the final design SSD table.
5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet
the flow control requirements. The chemical treatment system
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 6
must be able to meet the runoff treatment requirements. It is likely
that the discharge flow rate of% 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.
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 Monitoring: At a minimum, the following monitoring shall be
Standards 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
February 2005 Volume I!- Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 7
• Type and amount of chemical used for pH adjustment, if any
• Quantity of chemical used for treatment
• Settling time
Compliance Monitoring
• Influent and effluent pH and turbidity must be continuously monitored
and recorded at not greater than 15-minute intervals.
• pH and turbidity of the receiving water
Biomomtonng
Treated stormwater must be non-toxic to aquatic organisms. Treated
stormwater must be tested for aquatic toxicity or residual chemical
content. Frequency of biomouitoring will be determined by Ecology.
Residual chemical tests must be approved by Ecology prior to their use.
If testing treated stormwater for aquatic toxicity, you must test for acute
(lethal)toxicity. Bioassays shall be conducted by a laboratory accredited
by Ecology, unless otherwise approved by Ecology. Acute toxicity tests
shall be conducted per the CTAPE protocol.
Discharge Compliance: Prior to discharge, treated stormwater must
be sampled and tested for compliance with pH and turbidity limits.
These limits may be established by the Construction Stonuwater 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 on an active site.
Standard BMPs: Surface stabilization BMPs should be implemented on
site to prevent significant erosion. All sites shall use a truck wheel wash
to prevent tracking of sediment off site.

Sediment Removal and Disposal:
• Sediment shall be removed from the storage or treatment cells as
necessary. Typically, sediment removal is required at least once
during a wet season and at the decommissioning of the cells.
Sediment remaining in the cells between batches may enhance the
settling process and reduce the required chemical dosage.
• Sediment that is known to be non-toxic may be incorporated into the
site away from drainages.

BMP C251: Construction Stormwater Filtration
Purpose Filtration removes sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas
of the site.
Conditions of Use Traditional BMPs used to control soil erosion and sediment loss from sites
under development may not be adequate to ensure compliance with the
water quality standard for turbidity in the receiving water. Filtration may
be used in conjunction with gravity settling to remove sediment as small
as fine silt(0.5 µm). The reduction in turbidity will be dependent on the
particle size distribution of the sediment in the stormwater. In some
circumstances, sedimentation and filtration may achieve compliance with
the water quality standard for turbidity.
The use of construction stormwater filtration does not require approval
from Ecology as long as treatment chemicals are not used. Filtration in
conjunction with polymer treatment requires testing under the Chemical
Technology Assessment Protocol—Ecology(CTAPE)before it can be
initiated. Approval from the appropriate regional Ecology office must be
obtained at each site where polymers use is proposed prior to use. For
more guidance on stormwater chemical treatment see BMP C250.
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
is currently under development.
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. To date, 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.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 10
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 Rapid sand filters typically have automatic backwash systems that are
Standards triggered by a pre-set pressure drop across the filter. If the backwash
water volume is not large or substantially more turbid than the untreated
stormwater stored in the holding pond or tank, backwash return to the
untreated stormwater pond or tank may be appropriate. However, other
means of treatment and disposal may be necessary.
• Screen,bag, and fiber filters must be cleaned and/or replaced when
they become clogged.
• Sediment shall be removed from the storage and/or treatment ponds as
necessary. Typically, sediment removal is required once or twice
during a wet season and at the decommissioning of the ponds.
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow
Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow
control exempt water bodies the treatment system capacity should be a
factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be sized to
hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event
minus the treatment system flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-
enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system flowrate should be
sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6-8 gpm/ftz. 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 Volume 3,Chapter 2. Worst-case conditions(i.e., producing
the most runoff)should be used for analyses(most likely conditions
present prior to final landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition
must also control stormwater release rates during construction.
Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed
discharge rates from 1/2 of the 2-year flow through the 10-year flow as
February 2005 Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 11
predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre-developed
condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately
prior to the development project. This restriction on release rates can
affect the size of the storage pond, the filtration system, and the flow rate
through the filter system.
The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates
from the filtration systems:
1. Determine the pre-developed flow durations to be matched by
entering the land use area under the"Pre-developed"scenario in
WWH.M. The default flow range is from ''/z 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:
4a. The stormwater filtration system uses an untreated stormwater
storage pond/tank and the discharge from this pond/tank is pumped
to one or more filters. In-line filtration chemicals would be added
to the flow right after the pond/tank and before the filter(s).
Because the discharge is pumped, WWHM can't generate a
stage/storage/discharge(SSD) table for this system. This system
is modeled the same way as described in BMP C250 and is as
follows:
While in the"Developed Mitigated"scenario, add a pond element
under the basin element containing the post-developed land use
areas. This pond element represents information on the available
untreated stormwater storage and discharge from the filtration
system. In cases where the discharge from the filtration system is
controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge(SSD)table
representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and
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:
February 2005 Volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 12
• The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just
below '/2 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 '/2 of the 2-year. The increase(s)
above '/2 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.
4b. 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:
(1) While in the"Developed Mitigated"scenario, add a Filter
element under the basin element containing the post-
developed land use areas. The length and width of this
filter element would have to be the same as the bottom
length and width of the upstream untreated stormwater
storage pond/tank.
(ii) In cases where the length and width of the filter is not the
same as those for the bottom of the upstream untreated
stormwater storage tank/pond,the treatment system may be
modeled as a Pond element followed by a Filter element. -
By having these two elements, WWHM would then
generate a SSD table for the storage pond which then
gravity flows to the Filter element. The Filter element
downstream of the untreated stormwater 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
February 2005 Volume 11- Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 13
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%Z 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.

Appendix II-B
Background Information on Chemical Treatment
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 I 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.
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
February 2005 Volume It—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 15
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 on-site 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.
Application Considerations. Application of coagulants at the appropriate concentration
or dosage rate for optimum turbidity removal is important for management of chemical
cost, for effective performance, and to avoid aquatic toxicity. The optimum dose in a
given application depends on several site-specific features. Turbidity of untreated water
can be important with turbidities greater than 5,000 NTU. The surface charge of particles
to be removed is also important. Environmental factors that can influence dosage rate are
water temperature, pH, and the presence of constituents that consume or otherwise affect
polymer effectiveness. Laboratory experiments indicate that mixing previously settled
sediment(floc sludge)with the untreated stormwater significantly improves clarification,
therefore reducing the effective dosage rate. Preparation of working solutions and
- thorough dispersal of polymers in water to be treated is also important to establish the
appropriate dosage rate.
February 2005 Volume 11—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 16
For a given water sample, there is generally an optimum dosage rate that yields the
lowest residual turbidity after settling. When dosage rates below this optimum value
(underdosing) are applied, there is an insufficient quantity of coagulant to react with, and
therefore destabilize, all of the turbidity present. The result is residual turbidity(after
flocculation and settling)that is higher than with the optimum dose. Overdosing,
application of dosage rates greater than the optimum value,can also negatively impact
performance. Again, the result is higher residual turbidity than that with the optimum
dose.
Mixing in Coagulation/Flocculation: The G-value, or just "G," is often used as a measure
of the mixing intensity applied during coagulation and flocculation. The symbol G stands
for"velocity gradient', which is related in part to the degree of turbulence generated
during mixing. High G-values mean high turbulence,and vice versa. High G-values
provide the best conditions for coagulant addition. With high G's, turbulence is high and
coagulants are rapidly dispersed to their appropriate concentrations for effective
destabilization of particle suspensions.
Low G-values provide the best conditions for flocculation. Here, the goal is to promote
formation of dense,compact flocs that will settle readily. Low G's provide low
turbulence to promote particle collisions so that flocs can form. Low G's generate
sufficient turbulence such that collisions are effective in floc formation, but do not break
up flocs that have already formed.
Design engineers wishing to review more detailed presentations on this subject are
referred to the following textbooks.
• Fair, G., J. Geyer and D_ Okun, Water and Wastewater Engineering, Wiley and Sons,
NY, 1968.
• American Water Works Association, Water Quality and Treatment, McGraw-Hill,
NY, 1990.
• Weber, W.J., Physiochemical Processes for Water Quality Control, Wiley and Sons,
NY, 1972.
Adjustment of the pH and Alkalinity: The pH must be in the proper range for the
polymers to be effective, which is 6.5 to 8.5 for Calgon CatFloc 2953, the most
commonly used polymer. As polymers tend to lower the pH, it is important that the
stormwater have sufficient buffering capacity. Buffering capacity is a function of
alkalinity. Without sufficient alkalinity, the application of the polymer may lower the pH
to below 6.5. A pH below 6.5 not only reduces the effectiveness of the polymer, it may
create a toxic condition for aquatic organisms. Stormwater may not be discharged
without readjustment of the pH to above 6.5. The target pH should be within 0.2
standard units of the receiving water pH.
February 2005 Volume 11-Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 17
Experience gained at several projects in the City of Redmond has shown that the
alkalinity needs to be at least 50 mg/L to prevent a drop in pH to below 6.5 when the
- polymer is added_

BMP C251: Construction Stormwater Filtration
Purpose Filtration removes sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas
of the site.
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.
Unlike chemical treatment,the use of construction stormwater filtration
does not require approval from Ecology.
Filtration may also be used in conjunction with polymer treatment in a
portable system to assure capture of the flocculated solids.
Design and Background Information
Installation
Specifications 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.
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. To date, 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 a sediment pond or tank for removal
of large sediment and storage of the stormwater before it is treated by the

filtration system. The 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.
If large volumes of concrete are being poured, pH adjustment may be
necessary.
Maintenance Rapid sand filters typically have automatic backwash systems that are
Standards triggered by a pre-set pressure drop across the filter_ If the backwash
water volume is not large or substantially more turbid than the stormwater
stored in the holding pond or tank, backwash return to the pond or tank
may be appropriate. However, land application or another 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.

BMP C252: High pH Neutralization using CO2
Description
When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to lower the pH levels to the
acceptable range of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH neutralization. pH neutralization
involves the use of solid or compressed carbon dioxide gas in water requiring
neutralization. Neutralized stormwater may be discharged to surface waters under the
General Construction NPDES permit but neutralized process water must be managed to
prevent discharge to surface waters. Process wastewater includes wastewaters such as
concrete truck wash-out, hydro-demolition, or saw-cutting slurry.
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.
Groundwater standard for calcium and other dissolved solids in Washington State is less
than 500 mg/l.
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 C 151: 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(H20), carbonic acid(H2CO3) is formed
which can further dissociate into a proton (H)and a bicarbonate anion(HCO3-) as shown
below: "
CO2 + H2O F4 H2CO3 F4 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.
Treatment Procedures
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:
• Prior to treatment, the appropriate jurisdiction should be notified in accordance with
the regulations set by the jurisdiction.
• Every effort should be made to isolate the potential high pH water in order to treat it
separately from other stormwater on-site.
• Water should be stored in an acceptable storage facility, detention pond, or
containment cell prior to treatment.
• 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.
• 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.
• In the pH adjustment structure, add CO2 until the pH falls in the range of 6.9-7.1.
Remember that pH water quality standards apply so adjusting pH to within 0.2 pH
units of receiving water(background pH) is recommended. It is unlikely that pH can
be adjusted to within 0.2 pH units using dry ice. Compressed carbon dioxide gas
should be introduced to the water using a carbon dioxide diffuser located near the
bottom of the tank, this will allow carbon dioxide to bubble up through the water and
diffuse more evenly.
• Slowly release the water to discharge making sure water does not get stirred up in the
process. Release about 80%of the water from the structure leaving any sludge
behind.
• Discharge treated water through a pond or drainage system.
• 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.
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 and
• 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 COZ needed to adjust water to a pH range of 6.9-7.1,
• pH of treated water and,
• discharge point location and description. -
A copy of this record should be given to the client/contractor who should retain the
record for three years.
BMP C253: pH Control for High pH Water
Description
When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to Iower the pH levels to the
acceptable range of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH neutralization. Stormwater with
pH levels exceeding water quality standards may be treated by infiltration, dispersion in
vegetation or compost, pumping to a sanitary sewer,disposal at a permitted concrete
batch plant with pH neutralization capabilities, or carbon dioxide sparging. BMP C252
gives guidelines for carbon dioxide sparging.
Reason for pH neutralization
A pH level between 6.5 and 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_
Causes of high pH
High pH levels at construction sites are most commonly caused by the contact of
stormwater with poured or recycled concrete,cement, mortars, and other Portland cement
or lime-containing construction materials. (See BMP C151: Concrete Handling for more
information on concrete handling procedures). The principal caustic agent in cement is
calcium hydroxide (free lime).
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 groundwater
quality standards.
• Infiltration techniques should be consistent with Volume V, Chapter 7
Dispersion
Use BMP T5.30 Full Dispersion
Sanitary Sewer Disposal
• Local sewer authority approval is required prior to disposal via the sanitary sewer.
Concrete Batch Plant Disposal
0 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.
