Dear Ron:
Subject: City of Renton—SW 71h Street/Hardie Avenue SW/Lake Avenue S
Drainage Investigations—Final Letter Report
We are pleased to submit the final report for the SW 7`' Street, Hardie Avenue SW, and
Lake Avenue S Drainage Investigations. We have formatted the report into four main
sections, including an introduction, a description of the existing system, system analysis,
and the alternative evaluation and selection of preferred alternatives. The results of the
study confirm the lack of system conveyance capacities downstream of the known
flooding problem areas. Potential alternative solutions to reduce flooding at the problem
areas were defined with City input. In evaluating these potential solutions, we have
found that, while several of the improvements would substantially increase system
capacities, they would not provide significantly more than a 2-year or 10-year level of
protection for future land use flows, and in some cases less than a 2-year level of
protection.
We have therefore concentrated on a phased approach whereby the City would
implement initial improvements that would improve the existing system capacities and
reduce the frequency of flooding. As resources allow,the City should consider additional
improvements. During the interim period prior to the completion of the more extensive
improvements, the City should monitor the initial improvements and collect more data
on the level of protection provided by these systems.
We appreciate the valuable assistance you and other staff members have provided to us.
Please call me at (206) 695-4607 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
R. W. BECK,INC.

INTRODUCTION
1 . BACKGROUND AND STUDY OBJECTIVES
This study included an investigation and analysis of three recurrent flooding
problems in the City's South Renton subbasin of the Black River Basin.' One of
the problems includes flooding in the vicinity of SW 7" Street and Shattuck
Avenues. This area is drained by a pipe system extending west along
SW 7t' Street to the Black River Pump Station (BRPS) forebay.
The second problem includes flooding of Hardie Avenue SW at the railroad
underpass located north of SW 7t' Street. This area is drained by a pipe system
that extends southwesterly to connect to the SW 7" Street pipe system.
The third problem includes flooding in the vicinity of Lake Avenue S
approximately between S 2"1 Street and S Tobin Street and along S Tobin Street
just east of Lake Avenue S. The third problem area is drained by a pipe system
that extends south along Lake Avenue S, then along Hardie Avenue SW to the
intersection of Hardie Avenue SW and the railroad underpass, where it connects
to the system that drains the second problem area described above. This problem
was partially corrected with a pipe replacement project in 1996.
Based upon discussions with City staff, the first and second flooding problems
occur during significant flood events, such as the November and January 1990
events, the April 1991 event, and the February 1996 event. The location of these
flooding problems and the limits of the South Renton subbasin are illustrated on
Figure 1.
The study included data gathering and engineering analysis to define the
deficiencies in the existing systems that lead to flooding, identification and
analysis of potential corrective measures (alternatives), and selecting preferred
solutions to each of the three problems.
The specific study objectives include:
■ Confirm the pipe system configurations draining the problem areas,
including pipe lengths, sizes, material, slopes, elevations, and other factors
that substantially affect their hydraulic conveyance capacity
■ Perform backwater analysis to define hydraulic deficiencies in the system
■ Identify potential alternatives to solve problems
' This subbasin is also referred to as subbasin S-16 in the East Side Green River Watershed Plan
Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis work performed by R. W. Beck, Inc., under separate
contract CAG-033-90.

EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
1 . EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The limits of the South Renton subbasin as well as the problem area locations are
illustrated on Figure 1. The subbasin consists of 676 acres that drain to the BRPS
forebay. Figure 1 also shows the City's drainage system with several of the main
pipe systems highlighted. These highlighted systems were studied as a part of
this project and include:
■ SW 7t' Street system from the discharge at the BRPS forebay to Grady Way,
and then along Grady Way to Main Avenue S, and then along Main Avenue S
to S 3' Street
■ A SW 7" Street tributary system (Hardie Avenue SW system) that begins 1,000
feet west of Hardie Avenue SW and extends northeast along an easement to
Hardie Avenue SW, then continues along Hardie Avenue SW to Sunset
Boulevard W, and continues along Sunset Boulevard W past Rainier Avenue,
where it extends north along Lake Avenue S to S Tobin Street
■ Shattuck Avenue S system from SW 71t' Street to S 4th Street
These systems were analyzed because they serve as the main conveyance
systems draining the South Renton subbasin and/or they drain one of the study
problem areas.
2. DRAINAGE SYSTEM INVENTORY
To provide supporting data for evaluating the system capacity, the above
described drainage systems were investigated in the field inventory. The
information collected for each storm drain structure and connecting pipes
included pipe inlet and outlet sizes, material types and depths (as measured
down from the grate), and lengths between catch basins/manholes. Any
deteriorated condition of storm drain structures or pipes was also noted. A
standardized form was used to collect the data, an example of which is included
as Figure 2. The inventory results are summarized on Table 1. Copies of the
completed inventory forms for each storm drain structure are included in a
separately bound appendix (Volume 2).
A survey of the structure grates/rims was also conducted so that all elevations
could be tied to the City's elevation datum (NAVD 1988). This field survey
information is contained in the City's field survey book No. 632. Copies of the
field book pages are included in the Volume 2 appendix. It should be noted that
the City has changed its elevation datum to NAVD 1988. Many of the past
X1159121.734 11/19/98
SECTION 2
drainage design plans and construction drawings were previously designed to
NGVD 1929 datum. These datum are related as follows:
NGVD 1929 datum + 3.58 feet = NAVD 1988 datum.
The City's new datum was used entirely on this project.
To obtain depths of the pipeline from the top of the structures, a survey rod was
used measuring down from the top of the structure. This method presented
some difficulties for some of the larger and deeper storm drains, particularly
when the bottom of the pipe was horizontally offset from the access opening.
For the larger and deeper pipes, invert elevation accuracy should be considered
accurate to approximately 0.2 to 0.3 feet +/-. For most other storm drain
structures (where there was good access and depths could be easily measured),
the invert elevations should be considered accurate to approximately 0.1 feet +/-.
For the purpose of backwater modeling, differences in hydraulic capacity caused
by errors of this magnitude are considered negligible.
It is important to note that the field inventory was conducted in the Spring of
1995. Since then, pipe replacements were made to the drainage system along
Lake Avenue S between approximately S 2"d Street to S Tobin Street. Also, there
may be some additional catch basins or manholes constructed along these pipe
systems associated with new pipe connections which are not reflected in the
inventory.
3. FLOODING PROBLEMS
As previously mentioned, this study focuses on three specific flooding problems.
Flooding along SW 7"' Street in the vicinity of Shattuck Avenue S has occurred in
the recent events of January 9, 1990, November 24, 1990, April 5, 1991, and
February 8, 1998. This intersection is generally the lowest elevation between
Rainier Avenue S and Burnett Avenue S. As the downstream undersized pipe
system in SW 71' Street backs up, water ponds in this low area. City staff
reported that during the January 9, 1990, flood, the ponded area extended into
the City's Park and Ride lot located south of SW 7`' Street. This flooding also
extended north along Shattuck Avenue S to approximately S Sixth Street. Similar
flooding was observed during the February 8, 1996 flood. In reviewing the pipe
drainage system that drains this area, an obvious concern is a down sizing in the
pipe size. Downstream of Hardie Avenue SW, the SW 7`' Street system is
downsized from 48-inch-diameter pipe to 24-inch-diameter pipe. The locations
of the pipe reaches listed on Table 1 are shown on Figure 1.
During the February 8, 1996 flood, it was also observed that drainage from the
Renton Village and Grady Way was overflowing into the SW 71'' Street drainage
system. A pipe system conveys Rolling Hills Creek through the Renton Village.
There is an apparent bottleneck in this pipe system which can lead to flooding of
the Renton Village parking area and that this flooding can lead to overflows into
the SW 7`'' Street drainage system. Although not studied in this investigation,
2-2 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 X1159121.734
EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
overflows from the Renton Village flooding could be a contributing factor to
flooding of SW 7" Street. Therefore, part of the solution to the SW 7" Street
flooding is to also solve the Renton Village problem.
Flooding of Hardie Avenue SW at the railroad underpass north of SW 7" Street is
primarily due to the road being constructed very low under the underpass. The
road grade through the underpass is at El 19.3. This is 4 feet lower than the
elevation of the road grade in the downstream system at SW 71h Street. While
flooding here has been observed by the City generally during major events such
as those described above, flooding has also occurred to a lesser degree during less
severe rainstorms such as the January 15, 1996, storm (1.6 inches in 24 hours, 1
inch of which occurred in a 12-hour period).
Prior to the pipe improvements in 1996, flooding of Lake Avenue S and S Tobin
Street occurred in several areas; along Lake Avenue S between S 2nd Street and
S Tobin Street; along S Tobin Street a few hundred feet east of Lake Avenue S;
along the south side of S 2n1 Street at the intersection with Lake Avenue S; and in
a car lot located near the northwest corner of S 3r1 Street and Rainier Avenue.
Flooding along Lake Avenue S appeared to be the result of an undersized system
draining this area. In addition, it was found during the field review of the pipe
system in Lake Avenue S, prior to the 1996 pipe replacement project, that the
12-inch-diameter CMP pipe was quite rusted in places due to corrosion, such that
the poor condition of the pipe was an additional factor in reducing its
conveyance capacity. Prior to the 1996 pipe improvements, flooding occurred
along S Tobin Street, approximately once a year. Flooding along S Tobin Street
appeared to be the result of a lack of adequate drainage system in S Tobin Street.
Much of the Renton High School drains to S Tobin Street and flows west toward
Lake Avenue S. The 1996 pipe improvements included a new drainage system
along S Tobin Street east of Lake Avenue S.
Based upon the field work, there appears to be a general problem with corrosion
of CMP pipe as well as some structures without bottoms. For example, Catch
Basin 65 is an old brick catch basin with no bottom. As a result, storm water can
flow into the underlying soil, washing out fines and the promoting the
development of sink holes in the roadway pavement. Much of the Hardie
Avenue SW system is CMP and its condition is unknown. If it is susceptible to
corrosion, it may need early replacement due to being undersized in addition to
its condition.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
1. HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
This section provides a description of the methodology used for predicting peak
flow rates within the South Renton subbasin drainage system. In addition, it
includes a separate discussion of a hydrologic analysis done for the City's West
Hill Basin. An analysis of the West Hill Basin was done for the purpose of
analyzing one of the problem solutions (alternatives) for the Lake Avenue S
flooding problem.
A. SOUTH RENTON SUBBASIN
Development of design flows at different locations throughout the major
conveyance system was necessary to determine inadequacies in the existing
system and to evaluate potential flood control improvements. Determining
peak flow rates for the various design storm events was done utilizing
information developed from the East Side Green River Watershed Plan
(ESGWP) Hydrologic Analysis, Draft (Northwest Hydraulic Consultants,
1995). Under the ESGRWP Hydrologic Analysis, the continuous simulation
program HSPF was used to predict total outflows for the South Renton
subbasin (referred to as subbasin S-16) for various storm events, including the
2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year floods as well as the major flood of January 9, 1990.
The ESGRWP modeling effort was done for both current land use conditions
as well as future land use conditions. Only the future land use condition
flows were used as a part of the South Renton subbasin hydrologic analysis.
This was because, when considering system improvements, policy requires
designing such improvements to have sufficient capacity to handle future
land condition flows, given available resources. While this study focuses on
future land use condition flows, Appendix G does contain an abbreviated
analysis of current condition flows for comparison only. This analysis was
done by City of Renton staff.
The HSPF flows were used to develop "runoff factors" that could be
multiplied by a tributary area in acres to estimate design flow rates
throughout the system. This was done using a step-by-step approach that is
described in the following paragraphs.
STEP 1 —ADJUSTMENT OF HSPF FLOWS
Under the ESGRWP Hydrologic Analysis, two sets of peak flow data were
developed for this subbasin. One flow set was based on a frequency analysis
of the subbasin peak outflows assuming the existing reach of 60-inch-
diameter pipe along SW 7" Street west of Hardie Avenue SW acts as a
capacity restriction. For this set of flows, the 60-inch-diameter acts as a
X1159121.734 11/19/98
SECTION 3
constriction, causing upstream flows to be attenuated. The second set of
flows was based upon a frequency analysis of surface runoff without the
60-inch-diameter pipe restriction. The second set of flows was based on
surface runoff (assuming no system storage). The results of both frequency
analyses are included in Appendix A (Volume 1). For the purposes of
analyzing the conveyance system, average flow rates of the two flow sets
were calculated. This is because the first flow set would tend to
underestimate flows once the City implements conveyance improvements
and removes some of the existing conveyance restrictions. The second set of
flows would tend to be conservative because they do not account for any
system storage. System storage generally includes stormwater stored in
pipes, ditches, roadway gutters, and surface ponding of streets, parking lots,
and yards. During significant events, such as the 10-year through 100-year
floods, there will be some attenuation due to system storage. Therefore, the
average value of the two sets was selected for this analysis.
These average flow sets were then factored up to account for a difference in
the basin area used in the ESGRWP Hydrologic Analysis and the City's
defined subbasin boundary. The HSPF analysis was based on an overall
acreage of 538 acres, whereas the City's defined subbasin boundary is
676 acres. The difference in acreage does not mean that the ESGRWP analysis
is incorrect, rather the most westerly portion of the South Renton subbasin
was included in an adjacent HSPF subbasin (S-17). The supporting
calculations for these modifications are given on the Step 1 spreadsheet in
Appendix A, Volume 1.
It is noted that the methodology was varied for simulation of the January
1990 flood. For this event, flows were based solely upon the set of flows with
the existing 60-inch pipe acting as a pipe restriction. This was done to reflect
the existing pipe system without conveyance improvement. However, it
should be noted that actual flow rates for the January 1990 flood would be
higher if these pipe restrictions were removed.
STEP 2 — SUBBASIN DELINEATION
This step included dividing the entire South Renton subbasin into 41 smaller
subbasins to reflect flow patterns and catchment areas at different locations
along the main pipe systems. The smaller subbasins were primarily defined
based on the City's storm drainage system inventory maps supplemented by
some field observations (in the area of the Renton High School) and City
input. Appendix A, Volume 1 contains a map showing the individual
subbasin boundaries. The subbasins were digitized using AutoCAD to
determine subbasin areas in acres. Refer to the Step 2 spreadsheet in
Appendix A, Volume 1. The subbasin areas were characterized into two land
use groups, non-residential and residential. This was done for the purpose of
predicting runoff rates from these areas as discussed below.
3-2 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.734
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
STEP 3 — DEVELOPMENT OF RUNOFF FACTORS
This step includes the development of "runoff factors" for estimating the
various storm event flow rates along the pipe systems (i.e., distributing the
inflows). The ESGRWP Hydrologic Analysis identified a breakdown of the
future land uses as follows:
Total Area (acres) Percent
Commercial 425 79%
Multifamily 30.8 6%
High Density Residential 58.8 11%
Other Land Uses 23.8 417o
Total 538.4 100%
To simplify the modeling effort, runoff factors were developed for two
categories, high density residential and non-residential, which includes
multifamily and "other" land uses. Other land uses include forested and
undeveloped uses. This is a valid representation because these two land use
categories constitute 90 percent of the basin. In addition, the runoff
characteristics of multifamily land uses would be similar in characteristic to
commercial area (although producing somewhat lower runoff); therefore,
96 percent of the subbasin would be represented. Any errors produced by
the 4 percent of "other" land uses would be negligible.
Runoff factors for both high density residential and non-residential (primarily
commercial) were developed for several flood events including the 2-, 10-, 25-,
and 100-year future land use condition floods and the historic January 9, 1990,
flood (which is based on current land use conditions). The runoff factors for
each category were developed based upon the assumption that high density
residential land uses would generate an average of one-third the runoff of
non-residential (primarily commercial) uses. This value was selected based on
a review of the King County Surface Water Design Manual methodologies.
The calculation of runoff factors is included as the Step 3 spreadsheet in
Appendix A, Volume 1.
STEP 4 —CALCULATION OF DESIGN FLOWS
The final step was to perform a calculation of the various design storm flows
at key locations along the conveyance system. This was done by determining
the tributary area (in both residential and non-residential acreages) at these
locations using the subbasin information developed under Step 2 above. The
tributary area was then multiplied by the runoff factors developed under
Step 3. This step was done using an Excel spreadsheet, identified as Step 4
spreadsheet in Appendix A, Volume 1.
x1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-3
SECTION 3
One item to note about the hydrologic analysis relates to the Rainier Avenue
pump station. This pump station is located along Rainier Avenue between
S 5`h Street and S 61' Street and receives runoff from an approximate 67-acre
catchment (see subbasins V and AN on basin map in Appendix A, Volume 1).
Flows are pumped to a gravity storm drain that connects to the Hardie
Avenue SW drainage system just south of the railroad underpass. The
current capacity of the pump station is approximately 14.2 cfs. Based on the
modeling results, the future condition peak flows to the pump station exceed
the pump station capacity (a summary of peak future condition flows to the
pump station is given in Appendix A, Volume 1). For the hydrologic analysis,
it was assumed that the pump station would be upgraded to pump the
projected future condition flows.
The overall hydrologic analysis methodology was selected to make use of
prior hydrologic information and avoids what would otherwise be a much
more sophisticated and time-consuming hydrologic modeling effort. While
simplified, this approach provides very useful information, particularly for
identifying system deficiencies and recommending upgrades to the system to
improve capacity as done in this report.
Should the City consider improvements to a greater extent than
recommended in this report (such as replacing the entire 60-inch-diameter
system along SW 7`h Street to the BRPS forebay to achieve a 25-year future
condition level of protection), the City should consider performing additional
hydrologic analyses to validate the design flows developed herein.
Additional hydrologic modeling may be warranted given the more extensive
construction costs that would be required to provide a greater level of
protection.
The hydrologic model results for the South Renton subbasin are presented in
Table 2.
B. WEST HILL BASIN
A hydrologic analysis for the West Hill Basin was developed specifically to
evaluate a proposed high flow bypass to the Black River box culvert from an
area that is currently located in the South Renton subbasin. This high flow
diversion is discussed in Section 3.4, Identification of Alternative Solutions.
The hydrologic analysis of the West Hill Basin included the development of
an "HYD" model in accordance with KCSWDM procedures. The HYD model
incorporated information that was previously developed by R. W. Beck for
the Lake Washington Pollution Abatement Project (LWPAP) (Herrera
Environmental Consultants, 1994). Information taken from the LWPAP
included:
■ Subbasin Delineation. The West Hill Basin subbasin delineation is
illustrated on Figure 3, excerpted from the LWPAP
3-4 R. W Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.734
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
■ Existing Land Use Condition Runoff Curve Numbers. The methodology
for curve number development is discussed in the LWPAP
Using this information, a King County HYD model was developed for both
current land use and future land use conditions. This involved the following
additional steps:
STEP 1 — DETERMINE A TIME OF CONCENTRATION FOR EACH SUBBASIN
Times of concentration were developed using KCSWDM methods. The
results are included in Appendix B, Volume 1.
STEP 2 — DETERMINE FUTURE LAND USE CONDITION RUNOFF CURVE NUMBERS
Future land use runoff curve numbers were developed using the same
methodology as under the LWPAP. Future land was estimated based on a
review of the City's 1992 aerial photograph of the area, the City's
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (1995), and the City's official Zoning Map
(1995). It was assumed that areas would be fully built out according to the
land use plan. Some exceptions included very steep slope areas and a power
line corridor, which were assumed to remain undeveloped. A summary table
of the current and future land use by acreage as well as the development of
future land use condition runoff curve numbers are provided in Appendix B,
Volume 1.
STEP 3 — DEVELOP KING COUNTY HYD MODEL DATA FILES
These models were developed in accordance with the KCSWDM
methodologies. Copies of the data files are included in Appendix B,
Volume 1. A sketch of the model schematic is also included.
The hydrologic modeling results for the West Hill Basin are presented in Table
3.
2. HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The hydraulic analysis included developing three BWPIPE backwater models of
the conveyance systems of interest in accordance with KCSWDM methodologies.
The BWPIPE model is a direct-step backwater program that can be used to
evaluate capacities of pipe systems. The BWPIPE program computes backwater
profiles through the system for a range of flows, considering inlet, outlet, and
system losses. The BWPIPE program assumes the pipe system is clean and
functioning properly. It does not account for hydraulic losses that result from
sediment accumulation unless specific adjustments are made.
The pipe systems modeled were described in Section 2 and illustrated on
Figure 1. The following paragraphs provide additional background on the
assumptions and methodology used. The detailed analysis backup is included in
x1159121.234 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-5
SECTION 3
Appendix C, Volume 1. The modeling results are discussed in the following
subsection (Section 3.3).
The detailed pipe system data for the model input was developed from the pipe
system inventory described in Section 2.2. One exception to this is the portion of
the pipe system modeled along Main Avenue S between S 5th Street and
S 3`d Street. Pipe system data for this reach of system was based upon City
construction drawings and adjusted to match the surveyed downstream invert
elevation.
All three of the backwater models begin at the SW 71h Street pipe system outlet to
the old Black River channel (BRPS forebay). The names of the pipe data files and
a brief description are as follows:
SW7THPIP.DAT Begins at outfall to BRPS forebay, continues south along
Naches Avenue SW to SW 71h Street, continues along
SW 71h Street to SW Grady Way, continues along SW Grady
Way to Main Avenue S, and continues along Main
Avenue S to S 3rd Street.
SHATPIP.DAT Begins at outfall to BRPS forebay, continues south along
Naches Avenue SW to SW 71h Street, continues along
SW 7th Street to Shattuck Avenue, and continues along
Shattuck Avenue to S 5th Place. (Extending the model further
was not done because it was determined through the field
investigation that north of S 5th Street the system flows
north.)
HARDHPIP.DAT Begins at outfall to BRPS forebay, continues south along
Naches Avenue SW to SW 7t' Street, continues along
SW 7t' Street to approximately 1,000 feet west of Hardie
Avenue SW where it extends northeast along an easement to
Hardie Avenue SW, then continues north along Hardie
Avenue SW, to Sunset Boulevard W, then continues along
Sunset Boulevard W past Rainier Avenue S where it extends
north along Lake Avenue S to S Tobin Street. Note that this
model reflects the pipe system that existed prior to the 1996
pipe replacement project along Lake Avenue S.
In addition to the pipe system data input, a range of flows as well as "Qratios"
must be input to the model. For all model runs, the flow range was specified at
10-cfs intervals up to the 100-year future condition flow rate as determined under
the hydrologic analysis. "Qratios" are used to identify changes, or inflows, along
the system. The "Qratios' are taken from the hydrologic summary spreadsheet,
Step 4 spreadsheet in Appendix A, Volume 1.
The SW 7" Street system outlet to the old Black River channel has an invert
elevation of 10.28 and, based upon the results of the ESGRWP Hydraulic
Analysis, (R. W. Beck, 1996), this pipe system would not be influenced by
downstream backwater conditions. The maximum BRPS forebay elevation
3-6 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.734
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
produced under the ESGRWP study was 8.28 (NAVD 1988) for the 100-year
future condition "conveyance" event and 16.48 (NAVD 1988) for the 100-year
future condition "storage" event. As described in the ESGRWP Hydrologic
Analysis Report, there are two 100-year flow conditions for Springbrook Creek,
referred to as "conveyance" and "storage." The conveyance event reflects a
severe local rainstorm. The storage event reflects a major flood on the Green
River, which in accordance with the Green River Interlocal Agreement (Green
River Basin Program 1992) requires the BRPS to reduce pumping rates. The
reduced pumping rates cause excess floodwater to be stored in the BRPS forebay
and Springbrook Creek system. The tailwater elevation corresponding to
100-year conveyance event is below the SW 71' Street system outlet and would
have no effect on the system. The tailwater elevation corresponding to the
100-year storage event was used for a test simulation and found to have little
effect on the system capacity. As such, the remainder of modeling effort was
done assuming no tailwater conditions. A copy of the existing condition
backwater model with 100-year storage event is included in Appendix C,
Volume 1.
One reach of the SW 7" Street drainage system between approximately Hardie
Avenue SW and Shattuck Avenue S consists of parallel pipes. The main pipe
ranged in size from 24- to 48-inch-diameter CMP. The parallel pipe was a
24-inch-diameter concrete pipe; however, it was found to be approximately one-
half full of sediment. This reach was simulated in the model using an equivalent
pipe size based on equal conveyance. The effect of the parallel pipe was
discounted by 50 percent because it was found to be full of sediment. The
equivalent pipe size ranged in size from 30- to 50-inch-diameter pipe.
The results of the BWPIPE model provides the capacity of each reach segment.
This capacity is based upon flow overtopping a specified elevation. The specified
overflow elevation is selected by the user and is usually taken as the grate (or
top) of the upstream catch basin or manhole. Two other elevations that can be
selected are the elevation of the upstream catch basin/manhole grate minus
0.5 feet or the elevation of the upstream catch basin manhole grate plus 0.4 feet
(which is intended to approximate the crown of the road for a standard road
cross section). These elevations can be used when checking to see if a system
meets the City's design criteria, which is generally stated as follows:
■ Pipe systems shall be designed to convey and contain at least the peak runoff
rate for the 25-year design storm with a minimum 0.5 feet of freeboard
between the hydraulic grade line and the top of the structure
■ Pipe systems shall be considered acceptable for conveying the 100-year design
storm provided that runoff is contained within the defined conveyance
system element without inundating or overtopping the crown of a roadway
The existing system conveyance capacity backwater runs were made for all three
of these overtopping elevations. For the alternative analysis runs, the top of the
structure (grate) was selected as the overflow elevation. This was done for two
X1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-7
SECTION 3
reasons. First, the difference between the three criteria in terms of pipe reach
capacity was minimal. Second, much of the system was unable to meet the
25-year or 100-year design criteria and, thus, to determine an idea of the actual
level of protection provided by the system, the actual grate elevation was used.
It is important to note that the model is only determining capacities of pipe
segments for flow ranges. It does not route flows. The model results must be
reviewed carefully because the actual flows through pipe reaches will be affected
by any upstream capacity limitations. This is discussed under the existing system
analysis results in the following subsection.
3. EXISTING SYSTEM ANALYSIS RESULTS
The results of the combined hydrologic/hydraulic analysis are presented in
Table 2. The location of pipe numbers referenced in this table are illustrated on
Figure 1. The results provide a flow capacity for each pipe reach along with the
estimated peak flow rates for the different design storms. Again, it is important
to understand that these design flow rates assume that there are no upstream
capacity limitations. The table identifies the approximate levels of protection for
each reach (assuming no upstream capacity limitation). Again, the results for the
Lake Avenue S system reflect the drainage system that existed prior to the 1996
pipe improvement project.
The modeling results coincide well with observed conditions in that the pipe
systems shown to be the most undersized are downstream of the three flooding
problems. Another general observation is that the results show much of the
other systems besides those systems downstream of the problem areas to be
undersized, whereas no reported flooding has been observed for these systems.
This is explained for the following reasons:
■ The existing system has capacity limitations such as the three problem areas
that cause surface ponding and storage. In effect, the existing capacity
limitations at the problem areas reduce downstream flows below system
capacities.
■ The simulation results are for future land use conditions, which will include
not only new development but also likely redevelopment, which will
improve the "connectivity" of the drainage system. Note that, based on the
ESGRWP Hydrologic Analysis, there will be an increase of approximately
100 acres of commercial land use in the South Renton subbasin, an increase of
approximately 30 percent.
4. IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
This section describes the alternative solutions considered and analyzed to solve
the problems. The solutions were identified in a preliminary nature to the City
and revised based upon City input. In general, the extent of improvements for
3-8 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 X1159121.734
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
the alternative solutions were developed as a range from a low extent of
improvements to a greater extent of improvements that increase the level of
protection provided by the system. In terms of the technical hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis of alternative solutions, it is important to note that the solution
to one problem can affect the solutions to other problems. As such, the modeling
of alternative solutions were combined (e.g., the modeling of the SW 7" Street
Alternative 2 includes the assumption that the Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 2
and the Lake Avenue S Alternative 2 are both implemented). In order to keep
track of which set of alternative solutions were combined with other alternative
solutions, a set of general alternative descriptions was developed as described
below. Following the general description of alternatives are the detailed
alternative descriptions. The detailed alternative descriptions describe any
modeling assumptions as well as results. The alternative solutions are illustrated
on Figure 4.
A. GENERAL ALTERNATIVE DESCRIPTIONS
GENERAL ALTERNATIVE 1 DESCRIPTION— MAJOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative was originally intended to determine how much of the
existing system would need to be replaced with larger diameter pipe to
provide a level of protection meeting current City design standards for new
systems. A trial-and-error approach was used in which pipe reaches
downstream of problem areas were upsized in the backwater model;
however, it was found that nearly the entire system would need to be
replaced. This led to reducing the extent of improvements to a more realistic
scale that still resulted in a large benefit (e.g., increased level of protection and
increase in capacity). To simplify the modeling effort for this alternative, it
was assumed that existing undersized pipes would be replaced with new
larger diameter pipe at the same elevations. The extent of pipe replacement
for each of the problems is provided in the detailed alternative descriptions.
GENERAL ALTERNATIVE 2 DESCRIPTION — LAKE AVENUE S HIGH FLOW DIVERSION
AND MISCELLANEOUS MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENTS/IMPROVEMENTS
This alternative includes a high flow bypass that would divert high flows
from an area currently draining to Lake Avenue S to the Black River box
culvert in the West Hill Subbasin. This area consists of approximately 23
acres. A detailed discussion of the diversion is provided under the Lake
Avenue S Alternative 2 description. This alternative would also include pipe
replacements along SW 7"' Street. In addition, this alternative would include
creating a pressure system along the Hardie Avenue SW underpass by
providing watertight locking lids near the underpass. This would limit water
from backing up out of the system to pond under the underpass. This would
also require that the runoff generated in low areas around the underpass be
pumped into the system during high flows. This is further discussed under
Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 2.
X1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-9
SECTION 3
GENERAL ALTERNATIVE 3 DESCRIPTION— SW 7T" STREET DIVERSION TO
SPRINGBROOK CREEK, AND MISCELLANEOUS MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
IMPROVEMENTS
This alternative would include a second system outlet for the SW 7" Street
system by constructing a storm drain along SW 7" Street between
Springbrook Creek and Naches Avenue S to increase system capacity. In
addition, it would include miscellaneous pipe system replacements along
SW 7" Street and along Lake Avenue S. The alternative would also include
creating a pressure pipe system along Hardie Avenue SW under the railroad
underpass.
GENERAL ALTERNATIVE 4 — LAKE AVENUE HIGH FLOW DIVERSION,
SW 7T" DIVERSION TO SPRINGBROOK CREEK, AND MISCELLANEOUS
MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENTS/IMPROVEMENTS
This alternative essentially combines the improvements of General
Alternative 2 and General Alternative 3 above to reduce flooding.
GENERAL ALTERNATIVE 5 — REGIONAL DETENTION OR EXTRAORDINARY ON-SITE
DETENTION
This alternative was discussed early on in the project and subsequently
discounted and not considered further. Regional detention would include
large storage ponds to attenuate flood flows and reduce downstream runoff
rates. Extraordinary detention would include a development restriction for
the South Renton subbasin that would require greater volumes of on-site
floodwater storage to further restrict on-site runoff rates (thereby acting
collectively to reduce system wide runoff rates). This alternative is not
considered viable for the South Renton subbasin. This subbasin is
substantially developed with no clear opportunities for regional detention.
As the City's comprehensive plan promotes intense land uses in this area, the
City identified a concern that extraordinary detention could discourage
development and/or redevelopment. Also, because the area is substantially
developed, extraordinary detention, by itself, would not solve the flooding
problems.
B. DETAILED ALTERNATIVE DESCRIPTIONS
SW 7T" STREET ALTERNATIVES
SW 7T" STREET ALTERNATIVE 1 — MAJOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes replacing the existing pipe between Seneca
Avenue SW and Burnett Avenue S. Pipe replacement sizes as well as the
increase in conveyance capacity are shown on Table 4.
3-10 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.734
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
SW 7T" STREET ALTERNATIVE 2 — MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes pipe replacement similar to SW 7`h Street Alternate 1
except that the improvements are to a lesser extent. The pipe system
improvements would extend from Lind Avenue SW to Burnett Avenue S.
Most of the system would be replaced with larger diameter pipe as shown on
Table 4. However, it was assumed that a reach of existing 48-inch-diameter
CMP would be improved by slipping a smooth lined 42-inch-diameter pipe
(between Hardie Avenue SW and Rainier Avenue S). For this alternative, the
invert elevations of the replacement pipe systems were assumed to be deeper
than the existing pipe invert elevations. Proposed invert elevations are given
in Table 4.
For analysis of this alternative, it was assumed that the Lake Avenue S
Alternative 2 (high flow diversion to Black River box) and the
Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 2 would be implemented.
SW 7T" STREET ALTERNATIVE 3 — SW 7TH STREET DIVERSION TO SPRINGBROOK
CREEK AND MISCELLANEOUS MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENTS
This alternative would include a second system outlet for the SW 7" Street
system by constructing a storm drain along SW 7" Street between
Springbrook Creek and Naches Avenue SW, allowing both the existing outlet
and the second outlet to function. In addition, it would include the minor
pipe system replacements along SW 7' Street as discussed in SW 7"' Street
Alternative 2.
For analysis of this alternative, it was assumed that the Lake Avenue S
Alternative 2 (high flow diversion to Black River box) is not implemented.
To simulate this alternative with the backwater model, the following
modifications were performed on the existing system model;
1) The four most downstream pipe reaches were removed from the existing
condition model and a tailwater rating curve was developed for Pipe
Reach 5.
2) A separate backwater model was developed to reflect a pipe diversion
between Springbrook Creek and the downstream end of Pipe Reach 5. A
5-foot-diameter pipe was assumed for the diversion.
3) A tailwater rating curve was developed by adding the combined capacity
of the diversion system to Springbrook Creek with the capacity of the
existing system Reaches 1 through 4.
SW 7T" STREET ALTERNATIVE 4 — SW 7T"STREET DIVERSION TO SPRINGBROOK
CREEK, MISCELLANEOUS MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENTS, AND LAKE AVENUE S
DIVERSION
This alternative would include the combined improvements of the
SW 7" Street Alternatives 2 and 3 as described above. This alternative would
X1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-11
SECTION 3
also include the assumption that the Lake Avenue S high flow diversion is
implemented.
HARDIE ALTERNATIVE SW ALTERNATIVES
HARDIE AVENUE SW ALTERNATIVE 1 — PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes replacing the existing pipe system between the
connection to the SW 7" Street system and Hardie Avenue SW For this
alternative, it is also assumed that the downstream improvements of
SW 7`' Street Alternative 1 are included. Pipe replacement sizes are shown on
Table 4.
HARDIE AVENUE SW ALTERNATIVE 2 — PRESSURE PIPE SYSTEM AND PUMP STATION
(FOR LOCAL FLOWS AT THE UNDERPASS)
This alternative would include creating a closed pipe pressure system in the
Hardie Avenue SW system in the vicinity of the railroad overpass. This
would be accomplished by installing watertight locking lids on the manholes
in the vicinity of the underpass. This would prevent pipe system flows from
escaping the trunk system during high flows (when the hydraulic grade line
is higher than the manhole lids); such escaping flows currently form a pond
in the underpass. Because local surface runoff in the vicinity of the under-
pass would be unable to drain to the system during high flows, a small pump
station would need to be installed. No estimates of the pump station size
were performed; however, it would probably be on the order of 200 to
400 gpm (1 to 2 cfs).
For analysis of this alternative, it was assumed that Lake Avenue S
Alternative 2 (high flow diversion to Black River box) would be implemented.
In addition, it was also assumed that the SW 7`h Street Alternative 2 is
implemented, which includes replacement of one pipe reach downstream of
the Hardie Avenue SW/7"' Street system confluence.
HARDIE AVENUE SW ALTERNATIVE 3 — PRESSURE PIPE SYSTEM AND PUMP STATION
(FOR LOCAL FLOWS AT THE UNDERPASS)
This alternative includes the same improvements along Hardie Avenue SW as
Hardie Avenue SW Alternate 2.
It differs from Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 2 in that it assumes the Lake
Avenue Alternative 3 (minor pipe replacement) would be implemented and
that the SW 71h Street Alternative 3 is implemented, which includes the
diversion to Springbrook Creek and a pipe reach replacement downstream of
the Hardie Avenue SW 7th Street system confluence.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
HARDIE AVENUE SW ALTERNATIVE 4 — PRESSURE PIPE SYSTEM AND PUMP STATION
(FOR LOCAL FLOWS AT THE UNDER PASS)
This alternative includes the same improvements along Hardie Avenue SW as
Hardie Avenue SW Alternate 2.
In addition, it is assumed that the Lake Avenue Alternative 4 (high flow
diversion to Black River box and minor pipe replacement) would be
implemented and that SW 7`' Street Alternative 4 is implemented, which
includes the diversion to Springbrook Creek and a pipe reach replacement
downstream of the Hardie Avenue SW 7`'' Street system confluence.
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVES
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVE 1 — MAJOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes replacing the existing downstream pipe system
between SW Langston Road and S Tobin Street. This alternative also includes
a new pipe system along S Tobin Street from Lake Avenue S to the low point
in the road approximately a few hundred feet east of Lake Avenue S. It
should be noted that these improvements along S Tobin Street would reflect
the minimum needed to reduce the existing flooding problem. There is a
general lack of drainage system between Lake Avenue S and Logan Avenue S,
and a more extensive system along S Tobin Street may be warranted.
For this alternative, it is also assumed that the downstream improvements of
SW 7"' Alternative 1 and Hardie Avenue Alternative 1 are included. Pipe
replacement sizes are shown on Table 4. Note that grate elevation at the low
point along S Tobin Street is substituted for the grate elevation of Reach 38 so
that the improvement in the S Tobin Street problem can be evaluated
(elevation 27.90).
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVE 2 — LAKE AVENUE S HIGH FLOW DIVERSION
This alternative would include constructing a high flow diversion to the
existing Black River box culvert to reduce the high flows through the Lake
Avenue S drainage system. The area that could be diverted away from this
system is approximately 23 acres and is identified as subbasins AJ and AK on
the basin map in Appendix A, Volume 1. This area includes approximately
one-half of the Renton High School building and paved area. The high flow
diversion would likely be set up such that low flows on the order of 0.5 cfs
would continue to drain to the Lake Avenue S system and excess flows would
be diverted to the Black River box. The Black River box culvert is shown on
Figure 3.
To evaluate the impact of this alternative on the Black River box culvert
system, a separate hydrologic and hydraulic analysis was completed. The
hydrologic analysis of the West Hill Basin, which contributes to the Black
River box culvert, was discussed under Section 3.1. The West Hill Basin
X1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-13
SECTION 3
hydrologic model was modified by adding an additional subbasin (the
combined subbasins AK and AJ, see basin map in Appendix A, Volume 1) to
reflect the diversion. In addition, a backwater model was developed of the
Black River box culvert to evaluate its capacity. The backwater model was
developed using the same methodologies as the South Renton subbasin
systems. The backwater model included an assumed tailwater evaluation of
16.78 (NAVD, 1988), which corresponds to the normal Lake Washington
winter elevation. The Black River box culvert was also field inventoried to
determine invert elevations for the model.
The results of the hydrologic/hydraulic analysis of the Lake Avenue S
diversion and potential impacts on the Black River box culvert are provided
on Table 3. This table shows that the diversion to this system would increase
projected peak flows by approximately three percent for the future land use
condition 25-year design storm at its outlet to Lake Washington. This
diversion would have a negligible impact on the level of protection provided
by the Black River box culvert. While the culvert currently does not meet the
City's 25-year design criteria, it should be noted that it was originally
designed to provide a 10-year level of protection (Wilsey and Ham, 1969).
The diversion would not reduce the level of protection below the future land
use condition 10-year level.
An additional component of this alternative is to provide an adequate
stormwater collection system in at least the portion of S Tobin Street near
Lake Avenue S. Prior to the 1996 pipe improvements along Lake Avenue S
and S Tobin Street, there was little to no collection system. This alternative
assumes that SW 7`' Street Alternative 2 and Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 2
are also implemented.
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVE 3 — MINOR PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes pipe replacement of the downstream system from
approximately Rainier Avenue to the intersection with S Tobin Street. This
alternative would also include providing an adequate stormwater collection
system in at least the portion of S Tobin Street near Lake Avenue S (similar to
Alternatives 1 and 2). For this alternative, the invert elevations of the
replacement pipe systems were assumed to be the same as the existing invert
elevations.
For analysis of this alternative, it was assumed that the Hardie Avenue SW
Alternative 3 (Pressure Pipe System and Pump Station) and SW 7" Street
Alternative 3 (SW 7" Street Diversion to Springbrook Creek, and
Miscellaneous Minor Pipe Replacements) would be implemented.
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVE 4 — LAKE AVENUE S HIGH FLOW DIVERSION/MINOR
PIPE REPLACEMENT
This alternative includes the combined improvements of both Lake Avenue S
Alternatives 2 and 3 to further increase the level of protection.
3-14 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.731
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
For analysis of this alternative, it was assumed that Hardie Avenue SW
Alternative 4 (Pressure Pipe System and Pump Station) and SW 7`h Street
Alternative 4 (SW 71h Street Diversion to Springbrook Creek, and
Miscellaneous Minor Pipe Replacements) would be implemented.
It is interesting to note that, as shown on Table 4, the level of protection
provided by this alternative exceeds Alternative 2 while the capacity of the
improved drainage system is less than the existing system capacity. This is
counterintuitive and is a function of the change in the backwater model
"Qratios" resulting from the diversion. It occurs because, for a given flow
within a pipe reach of the improved system, the percentage of the
downstream tributary flow is greater, which results in a higher tailwater
condition and lower capacity.
LAKE AVENUE ALTERNATIVE 5 — LAKE AVENUE DIVERSION TO CEDAR RIVER
As shown in Figure 1, the Cedar River is located near the northeast portion of
the South Renton subbasin (more specifically subbasins AK and AJ, see basin
map in Appendix A). Some thought was given early on to diverting a portion
of the South Renton subbasin around the Renton High School to the Cedar
River to reduce flows in the Lake Avenue S system. To be effective in
collecting runoff from the high school, the system would need to begin along
S Tobin Street approximately midway between Lake Avenue S and Logan
Avenue S. The system could then extend east to Logan Avenue S and the
north to discharge to the Cedar River. No detailed hydrologic/hydraulic
modeling was done to evaluate this alternative. However, a comparison of
the Cedar River floodplain levels and approximate road grade elevations
along S Tobin Street were reviewed. The Cedar River floodplain elevations
are based on a floodplain study (NHC, 1992).
Cedar River 2-year flood elevation at 26.6(NAVD 1988)
Logan Avenue S
Cedar River 100-year flood elevation at 30.6 (NAVD 1988)
Logan Avenue S
Approximate road grade elevation of 31.6(NAVD 1988)
S Tobin Street(31.6 elevation is midway
between Lake and Logan; elevation
based on City's 1962 aerial topography
(USC &GS data)
Note: The low point on S Tobin Street is 27.90.
A comparison of the above elevations indicates that it may be possible to
divert drainage from the Renton High School to the Cedar River. Based on a
review of these elevations, a system could be designed to function during a
2-year Cedar River flood; however, during 100-year floods +/- on the Cedar
River, a backflow prevention device would be needed to prevent the Cedar
X1159121.734 11/19/98 R. W. Beck, Inc. 3-15
SECTION 3
River from backing up into such a system during high Cedar River flows. It is
important to note that comparison of the above elevations is considered
approximate. During our review of the City's 1962 aerial topographic maps,
we noted spot elevation discrepancies of up to 2 feet. If the City were
interested in pursuing this alternative further, some quick elevation checks
would be suggested before any extensive analysis is performed. This
alternative, while having some merit, was not considered further because of
the disadvantage of not being able to function during a major flood (100-year
event) on the Cedar River and because less area could be diverted than with
the diversion alternative to the Black River box.
Some thought was also given to diverting flows to the Cedar River with a
new system that includes an overflow outlet to an improved Lake Avenue S
system (to provide an outlet when the Cedar River is high). A detailed
analysis of such an alternative was not performed because it was beyond the
scope of this study. Also, it would not provide as much benefit as a diversion
to the Black River box with an overflow to the Lake Avenue S system. Based
upon measurements of water levels made by the City on February 8, 1996 and
on data from the Cedar Gage at Bronson Avenue, water levels in the Black
River box at Airport Way were lower than the Cedar River. Therefore, based
on this observed flood, diversion to the Black River box would have resulted
in a greater benefit. City staff estimate that at 10:00 am on February 8, the
elevation in the Cedar River was 27.85 feet, while the water level measured at
10:20 am north of Airport Way was 23.78 feet.
SHATTUCK AVENUES ALTERNATIVE 1 — PIPE REPLACEMENT
Only one alternative was considered to reduce flooding along Shattuck
Avenue S. This alternative includes replacing the existing pipe system
between the intersection with SW 7tn Street to the railroad right-of-way (just
south of S 5th Street.) For this alternative, it is also assumed that the
downstream improvements of SW 7t' Street Alternative 1 are included. Pipe
replacement sizes are shown on Table 4.

ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
SECTION 4
ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
1 . GENERAL
This section includes an alternative evaluation of the study alternatives including
the no-action alternative. Alternatives were evaluated in terms of the following
criteria:
■ Effectiveness in solving flooding
■ Feasibility and constructability
■ Compatibility with downstream drainage system
■ Cost
■ Environmental considerations
■ Other advantages and disadvantages
A summary of the alternative ratings for these criteria is shown on Table 5.
Construction cost estimates were developed for each alternative and are included
in Appendix E, Volume 1. Construction cost estimates include allowances of
40 percent for administrative cost (design, construction engineering, survey,
administration, and sales tax, although sales tax may not be required if the
improvement is conducted concurrently with a roadway improvement project),
and a 30 percent construction contingency. Cost estimates are generally for pipe
replacements or improvements of the main pipe system and do not include
replacement of the existing roadside collection systems.
2. ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION
The alternative evaluation is summarized in Table 5. The hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis results that provide a predicted level of protection for future
land use conditions were presented in Table 4 (Black River box diversion is in
Table 3). As discussed previously, the capacity of the main trunk system in
SW 71h Street is limited. Without major improvements that include replacement
of most of this system, the City could not provide a level of protection for future
land use condition flows that meets current City standards. Preliminary
indications from City staff indicated that the possibility of implementing such a
major project is unlikely at this time. As a consequence, the alternative solutions
were generally reduced in scale, but in some cases are still very significant
projects. The following paragraphs provide a discussion of the various
alternatives that supplement Table 5.
X1159121.734 11/19/98
SECTION 4
SW 7" STREET ALTERNATIVES
The selection of the preferred alternative for the SW 7" Street problem is highly
dependent on the preferred alternative for the SW Hardie Avenue problem. The
analysis shows that the only way to provide a significant increase in the Hardie I
Avenue SW level of protection is to implement the Hardie Avenue SW
Alternative 1, which includes the assumption that the downstream system along
SW 7" Street is improved as defined in SW 7"' Street Alternative 1. Therefore, if
the Hardie Avenue SW Alternative 1 is selected, the SW 7" Street Alternative 1
should also be the preferred alternative.
If one of the other Hardie Avenue SW alternatives is selected, then the SW 7"'
Street Alternatives could be evaluated on their own merit. The SW 71'
Alternatives provide approximately the same level of protection. Alternative 4
provides a somewhat greater level of protection then the other alternatives,
particularly in the downstream reaches of the SW 71' Street system. This is
because this alternative assumes that the Lake Avenue S diversion to the Black
River box culvert (Lake Avenue S Alternative 4) is implemented and because the
diversion to Springbrook Creek increases the capacity of the downstream portion
of the system. Any of the alternatives could be phased.
HARDIE AVENUE SW
The analysis shows that a significant downstream improvement would be
necessary to completely solve the problem. The major pipe replacement
alternative (Alternative 1) provides the greatest level of protection; however, the
improved level of protection is just shy of the future condition 2-year event. At
the same time, Alternative 1 would result in a 64 percent increase in capacity
downstream of the problem area. Alternative 1 provides the greatest level of
protection.
Alternatives 2 through 4 would reflect a lower construction cost. One item to
note about the cost estimate for alternatives 2 through 4 is that their cost would
be highly dependent on the type of pump station that the City would desire.
The pump station cost could range from $100,000 to $400,000 depending on
pump station features as well as dewatering needs. A disadvantage of the pump
station is the long-term operation and maintenance required as well as
emergency provisions should a power outage occur during a flood event.
Alternatives 2 through 4 include an additional disadvantage by the creation of a
pressurized system. Raising the hydraulic grade line through the underpass
would reduce the capacity of the upstream system. If the upstream system were
to become surcharged (causing flows along the street), there would be a concern
that additional surface flows along Hardie Avenue SW would be directed to the
low area and possibly exceed the capacity of the pump station.
The other alternative for the Hardie Avenue SW is the no-action alternative. This
alternative may be worth some consideration given the lower traffic volume
through the area and the cost of improvements necessary to reduce flooding.

ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
However, one item to note is that, as the City implements other improvements
such as along SW 7" Street, flows to the downstream system will increase. Such
system improvements combined with continued development in the watershed
would result in more frequent and more severe flooding at Hardie Avenue SW.
LAKE AVENUE S ALTERNATIVES
One item to note about the Lake Avenue S hydrologic analysis is that it is
assumed that the Renton High School playfield, located east of Lake Avenue S is
developed in the future conditions to the level of commercial uses. Should this
grassy field remain permanent, the future predicted flows as shown in Table 4
likely over predict the flows that would be directed to this system.
Following the completion of the draft report, the City performed additional
inspection of the corrosion problem along Lake Avenue S. The pipe was found to
be completely worn in some areas. In fact, the pipe video camera fell through a
hole in the pipe and had to be dug out by cutting into the pavement. Because of
its poor condition and because the City had committed to reducing the flooding
problem as quickly as possible, the City moved forward with designing a
replacement system for the section of pipe between S 2nd Street and S Tobin
Street as well as an improvement to the S Tobin Street system. The sizing of the
pipe improvements did not exactly follow the alternatives presented in this
report based on additional hydraulic modeling performed by the City staff. One
of the objectives of the City's modeling effort was to minimize the pipe size for
replacement but at the same time checking to make sure that the City will be able
to provide at least a 25-year level of protection for future land use conditions if
other downstream improvements are made in the future as resources allow. This
analysis was done by the City and included in Appendix F. The analysis was
done two ways, assuming downstream improvements as in Alternative 1 as well
as diverting a portion of the basin to the Black River box as in Alternatives 2
and 4.
In this way, the City has selected a phased approach for correcting the Lake
Avenue S drainage problem. Additional improvements beyond the 1996 pipe
replacement project will be necessary to completely solve the problem. As
resources allow, the City should consider additional improvements. During the
interim period, prior to the completion of the more extensive improvements, the
City should monitor the initial improvements and collect more data on the level
of protection provided by these systems.
In comparing the Black River box system and the South Renton subbasin system,
the Black River box has a substantially greater level of protection. Diverting high
flows from the Lake Avenue S system (as in Alternative 4) would result in a
negligible impact to the Black River box. It should be noted again that until such
time as the high school ball field is developed, the flows to Lake Avenue S would
be lower than predicted in Table 4.
Following the pipe replacement program completed in 1996, the City should
monitor the system for continued flooding. Alternative 4, or diversion to the

SECTION 4
Black River box in addition to the City's 1996 pipe replacement program is
recommended to completely solve the problem. The diversion to the Black River
box should be implemented as resources become available.
While the Lake Avenue S Alternative 4 appears to be the most favorable solution,
one general disadvantage to the alternative is diverting flows from one basin to
another. Flow diversions such as this must be considered carefully as a result of
the potential liability of claims should flooding along the diversion route occur. It
is suggested that City legal staff be consulted.
3. SELECTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
The recommended solutions contained in this report were developed after
review and consultation with the City. The comparison of the alternative
solutions to arrive at a recommended solution was described above. The
recommended solutions include:
SW 7T" STREET, ALTERNATIVE 2
The City should initiate a phased approach for reducing flooding along
SW 71'Street. Initially, the City should complete the Alternative 2 (minor pipe
replacement) improvements. In addition, the City should coordinate the
improvements to the Renton Village conveyance system to prevent overflows
into the SW 7"' Street drainage system. During design of the minor pipe
replacement improvements, the design should include additional analysis to
ensure that the replacement pipe sizes are large enough so as not to preclude
further downstream improvements to achieve the City's design criteria of 25-year
storm for future land use conditions. This analysis is similar to what the City
performed on the Lake Avenue S 1996 system improvements. The City should
also monitor flooding and consider additional downstream improvements as
resources allow. One additional item to note is that the King County Department
of Natural Resources is planning a large sewer interceptor along SW 7" Street.
The City of Renton should consider pipe improvements along SW 71' Street to
coincide with the sewer improvements to reduce restoration costs and
construction impacts.
HARDIE AVENUE SW - ALTERNATIVE 2
Alternative 2 is preferred primarily due to lower initial capital cost. Early on in
design, the City should confirm what design requirements would be placed on
the pump station. As noted in the previous section, the cost of the pump station
could vary significantly. If the cost of the pump station becomes such that the
overall cost of this alternative approaches the cost of Alternative 1, the City
should reconsider the preferred solution. Alternative 2 will help reduce the
frequency of flooding, however, some flooding during significant storms should
be expected. As with the SW 7`h Street preferred alternative, the City should
4-4 R. W. Beck, Inc. 11/19/98 x1159121.734
ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
monitor flooding and consider additional downstream improvements as
resources allow.
LAKE AVENUE S - ALTERNATIVE 4
As described in the previous section, the City has already completed some pipe
replacement work along Lake Avenue S and S Tobin Street in 1996. This has
helped reduce the frequency of flooding, but is not a complete solution. The City
should pursue the diversion to the Black River box as resources allow. In the
interim, the City should monitor the system for continued flooding and collect
more data on the level of protection provided by the system. One additional
consideration relates to the Renton High School playfield. If this area is
developed to a more impervious use, consideration should be given to requiring
the diversion at that time to mitigate for an increase in runoff volume to an
already undersized system.
SHATTUCK AVENUE S
It is also recommended that the City implement a pipe replacement system along
Shattuck Avenue S from SW 7`' Street to S 6"' Street to improve the capacity of
this system. The pipe replacement shown on Table 4 would provide a 2-year
level of protection for future land use conditions. This pipe replacement scenario
was based upon the assumption that SW 7t'' Street Alternative 2 would be
implemented.
4. IMPLEMENTATION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
This section describes some of the issues that will need to be considered as the
City moves forward to implement the preferred solutions.
1) Data Needs. The following data needs should be considered.
a) Additional investigation into potential utility conflicts. A brief
investigation was performed as a part of this study. This investigation
included a review of the City's comprehensive sewer and water
system maps and the sewer system data. Conflicts between a pipe
replacement alternative and existing water lines were noted and an
average cost of $800 was included in the alternative estimate
assuming that a short section of waterline would need to be relocated.
In terms of the sewer system data, no obvious conflicts were
identified. However, we could not investigate the SW 71h System
alternatives east of Lind Avenue because the data in the sewer system
inventory was missing. Also, the data for the system along S 3`d Street
(crossing Lake Avenue S Alternative 1) appeared to be incorrect. The
Lake Avenue S alternatives also cross over and under existing sewers
with little apparent clearance. As a part of design work, the City
should confirm sewer invert elevations early on in the design. No

SECTION 4
research was conducted of other utilities such as gas, telephone, or
electrical.
b) The City should TV the Hardie Avenue S system to evaluate its
condition.
c) Field surveys will be required for design.
d) The original field inventory and technical analysis for this study was
completed in 1995. Since that time, additional catch basins/pipe
connections may have been construction on the pipe systems analysis
for this study. Prior to additional analysis such new catch basins
should be added to the computer analysis.
2) Phasing Project Improvements. As discussed above, the preferred
alternatives follow a phased approach whereby the City would
implement initial improvements that would improve the existing system
capacities and reduce the frequency of flooding. As resources allow, the
City should consider additional improvements. During the interim period
prior to the completion of the more extensive improvements, the City
should monitor the initial improvements and collect more data on the
level of protection provided by these systems.
In addition, improvements should be coordinated with planned street or
utility improvement projects or with large development proposals that
affect the drainage system. If the SW 7`h Street Alternative were phased,
the initial phase should be between the confluence with the Hardie
Avenue SW system and Shattuck Avenue S. Additional analysis could be
done using the backwater model to maximize capacity improvements.
3) Optimizing Pipe Replacements. The backwater models developed
during this project will serve as an excellent design tool during the design
phase to optimize replacement pipe size and pipe slopes. Some trial-and-
error iterations were performed through the alternative development;
however, there are an extreme number of possibilities for how the pipe
replacements are configured. The backwater models should be taken one
step further during design to optimize performance at the least cost. An
option to the BW pipe program is an Excel spreadsheet that generally uses
the same direct step backwater methodology. An example of this
approach is included in Appendix F, done for the Lake Avenue S design.
4) Design Considerations. During design of improvements to the system,
additional, more detailed, considerations should be taken into account
that were not investigated as a part of this study. Some of these items
include checking available cover for replacement systems, using an actual
profile rather than a profile of manhole rim to manhole rim, separation
from other utilities, traffic considerations, premarking utilities, installing a
parallel pipe system instead of replacing a system with larger diameter
pipe, using box culvert or an arch pipe instead of a round pipe, roadway

restoration requirements, as well as other specifics that affect final design
of improvements.
As previously discussed, during the final sizing of the pipe replacements,
the City should confirm that the replacements will be able to provide at
least a 25-year level of protection for future land use conditions if other
downstream improvements are made in the future as resources allow.
The scenario to be avoided is performing a pipe system replacement
project only to discover later that a 25-year level of protection cannot be
achieved even with additional downstream improvements.
Regarding the diversion to the Black River box for the Lake Avenue S
Alternative 4, the City should attempt to collect additional field
measurements during storm events of the hydraulic grade line in the first
two Black River box pipe sections north of S 2nd Street. This data would
provide hydraulic grade line information and could be used to confirm
that the diversion would function properly. If there is concern that during
a major event, the flows in the Black River box could back up into the
diversion pipe, consideration could be given to a flap gate at the diversion
pipe connection to the box.
