Project Description: The applicant is requesting a Tier II Temporary Use Permit pursuant to
Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-240 in order to continue to temporarily stockpile construction
aggregates for a period up to five (SJ years. The 9.022 acre site consists of the easterly three (3)
parcels located contiguous to the Stoneway Black River Quarry property, just south of the eastern
portion of the Sunset View Apartment Homes. The Black River Quarry's street address is 510
Monster Road SW, Renton, WA (APN's 3779200005, 3779200008 and 3779200009). In addition to
stockpiling, the site is used for outdoor storage of construction materials (pipe, manholes and catch
basins) and construction equipment (loaders, excavators, trucks, and trailers). All three parcels are
zoned Light Industrial (IL) on the City's zoning map.
Stormwater from the site is discharged to ground or captured through a series of swales and
routed to an existing sediment pond on the Black River Quarry property. The site is currently
regulated by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the Department of Ecology's Sand and Gravel
General Permit. As such, there are stringent environmental regulations that require limitation of
erosion, control of dust, an, mitering of all stormwater discharg Currently, Pointe Heron uses
the following BMPs: intercep.vr dikes, straw waddles, rock check <..urns, track walking, sediment
ponds, CO2 sparging, stabilization measures and site watering.
There are no wetlands or water bodies on the three parcels; an existing steep slope lies along the
south edge of the parcels. Access to the site is through the westerly part of the Quarry property
from Monster Road SW. No trees are proposed to be removed and no fill or excavation is proposed.
The applicant submitted the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, prepared on January 4, 2013
(last reviewed/revised on Februarv 6. 2014) for Kanalev Rock and Recycle Black River Ouarrv.

ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT LUA 14-001619
Application Date: December 09, 2014
Name: Pointe Heron Temporary Use Permit
PLAN -Planning Review
Site Address: 510 Monster Rd SW
Renton, WA 98057-2937
Version 1 I February 19, 2015
Recommendations: During the wet season (October 1 to April 30), slopes and stockpiles at 3H:1Vor steeper and with more than ten feet
of vertical relief shall be covered if they are unworked for more than 12 hours. The material necessary to cover all disturbed areas must be
stockpiled on site. Any area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall be seeded or sodded unless the City determines that winter
weather makes vegetation establishment infeasible.
The cover methods to be used are based on the time frame of use. See D.3.2 of Appendix D from the 2009 King County Surface Water
Design Manual (KCSWDM) page D 1 O for the cover methods and maintenance standards.
Perimeter Protection to filter sediment from sheet wash shall be located downslope of all disturbed areas. Perimeter protection includes
the use of vegetated strips, constructed measures such as silt fence, fiber rolls, and sand/gravel barriers, brush or rock filters. If all
surface water is connected by an interceptor dike or swale and routed to a sediment pond or trap, there may be no need for the perimeter
protections measures specified in this section. See D.3.3 of Appendix D from the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM) page D 30 for the perimeter protection methods and maintenance standards.
The performance of the erosion and sediment control measures shall be installed and maintained per D.4.3 of the 2009 KCSWDM on
a e D 70.

requirements, compliance with conditions S2 through S5 will constitute
compliance with the TMDL.
b. Where an applicable TMDL has not specified a waste load allocation for facilities
covered by this permit, but has not excluded these discharges, compliance with
conditions S2 through S5 will constitute compliance with the TMDL.
c. Where an applicable TMDL assigns a wasteload allocation to a specific facility,
Ecology will implement the wasteload allocation by issuing a modified coverage
or an administrative order.
S3.H. Discharges to Groundwater-Additional Effluent Limitations
The Permittee is authorized to discharge process water, mine dewatering water, and
stormwater to groundwater at the permitted location subject to the numeric effluent
limitations S2 above. If the Pennittee combines discharges from two or more
industrial activities, the most stringent effluent limit for each parameter applies.
I. There must be no visible oil sheen at any points of discharge to groundwater.
2. Any discharge to a pond, lagoon, or other type of impoundment or storage facility
that is unlined is considered a discharge to groundwater and is subject to the
groundwater quality standards (Chapter 173-200 WAC). Water ponding at a facility
can be considered a discharge to groundwater.
3. If a Permittee discharges wastewater below the surface of the ground, such as to a
dry well, drainfield, or injection well it must comply with the Underground
Injection Control Program regulations (Chapter 173-218 WAC).
S3.I. Discharge to Sanitary Sewer

• The POTW has excess wet season hydraulic capacity (no sanitary sewer overflows
or treatment system bypasses).
• The POTW is willing to accept the discharge.
• The hydraulic loading to the POTW will be reduced by eliminating the clean water
Sand and Gravel General Permit-August 17, 2011
Page 13
that can be directly discharged directly without causing pollution.
The request must also certify that the Permittee is routinely implementing all applicable
BMP's.
Discharges to sanitary sewer must meet the discharge restrictions of 40 CFR 403.
S3.J. Discharge of Type 3 Stormwater Directly to Ground Water
The Permittee must not discharge Type 3 stormwater from an asphalt plant, concrete
batch plant, asphalt release agent application area, or concrete truck washout area into a
pit or excavation that penetrates the water table.

S4.B. Discharges to Surface Water
1. The Permittee must monitor by visual monitoring or sampling representative
discharges of process water, mine dewatering water, Type 2 stormwater and Type 3
stormwater to surface waters of the state, or to a storm sewer that drains to surface
waters of the state., Sampling requirements are given in a matrix in Tables 2 and 3 of
Condition S2 above.
2. The Permittee must representatively sample discharges to surface water.
Representative sampling of Type 2 storm water and Type 3 stormwater requires
sufficient number of sample locations to represent differences in stormwater quality.
The Permittee must collect samples as close to the point where the discharge comes
into contact with the receiving water as is reasonably achievable.
3. The Permittee must conduct a visual inspection of each point of discharge to
surface water at least once a month when discharges occur. The date of the

Page 14
inspection, and any visible change in turbidity or color in the receiving water
caused by the discharge, must be recorded and filed with the monitoring plan
required by Condition S2. The permittee may request an exemption from visual
monitoring for any outfall where there is no safe access point from which to
monitor the outfall. The permittee must specify by GPS coordinates or by diagram
the specific location and the reason for exemption in an email or letter to Ecology.
The permittee must keep any visual monitoring exemption approvals in the SWPPP.
4. New facilities that propose to discharge to a segment of a waterbody on the current
EPA-approved 303 (d) list for turbidity or fine sediment must conduct turbidity
monitoring in accordance with an Ecology-approved monitoring plan that includes
receiving water monitoring to demonstrate the discharge does not cause or contribute
to the impairment. The applicant/Permittee must contact Ecology before developing a
monitoring plan.
5. New facilities that propose to discharge to surface water must conduct a receiving
water study for two years when Ecology determines, at the time of application, that
there is a potential for violation of water quality standards. The study consists of
measuring the receiving water flow and temperature and discharge flow and
temperature at the time of critical flows. The applicant/Permittee must contact
Ecology before developing a monitoring plan. If Ecology determines a receiving
water study is required, the receiving water study plan must be completed before
operations are begun.

Type 2 stormwater and Type 3 stormwater to groundwater according to the matrix in
Condition S2.
2. The Permittee is required to representatively sample discharges to ground.
Representative sampling must include discharges of wastewater and mine dewatering
water to groundwater; or may include sampling groundwater quality from
monitoring wells in accordance with an Ecology-approved groundwater impact study
based on Ecology Publication 96-02 (Implementation Guidance for the Groundwater
Quality Standards). Representative sampling of stormwater requires the Permittee to
identify the sample sites in the monitoring plan.
S4.D. Storrnwater Monitoring at Inactive Sites
Inactive sites are not required to monitor stormwater or submit monitoring reports,
however, all inactive sites are subject to the appropriate discharge limits and must
maintain BMPs necessary to ensure compliance. Stormwater monitoring and reporting
is required at inactive sites when both of the following conditions apply:
1. The Permittee or operator adds or withdraws raw materials or finished products from
stockpiles during the calendar quarter, and

control such as dams, dikes, and diversions must be stabilized immediately after
construction.
c. Design any BMP constructed at an active site to maintain separation of Type 2
stormwater from Type 3 stormwater and Type 1 stormwater during the peak flow
from the design storm. If any commingling of Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3
stormwater occurs, the Permittee must meet the most restrictive permit
requirements.
S5.B. Monitoring Plan
At active sites, Permittees must maintain and comply with a monitoring plan developed
in accordance with Special Conditions S2, S3, and S4. The Permittee must retain the
monitoring plan and permit on site or within reasonable access to the site and make it
immediately available, upon request, to Ecology or local jurisdiction. In addition, the
Permittee must make the monitoring plan available to the public when requested in
writing to do so. The responsible party as identified in General Condition GI must sign
the monitoring plan and all of its modifications.
I. Monitoring Plan and Content Requirements
The monitoring plan must at minimum:
a. Identify all the industrial activities at the site.
b. Include all of the applicable parameters and monitoring frequencies identified in
Special Conditions S2, S3, S4, and S5 as monitoring requirements. Where a
discharge combines two or more industrial activities and each activity requires the
same monitoring parameter and frequency, only one sample and analysis for that
parameter will be required. No sampling is required of water held in a lined
impoundment that is designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with
Special Condition S3 .E.2. Any discharges from a lined impoundment to waters of
the state must be sampled in accordance with the monitoring plan.
c. Include a site map identifying the location of all sampling points, the types of
discharges that occur at each point (e.g. process water, mine dewatering water and
stormwater), and whether the discharge is to surface water or groundwater. The
plan must identify enough sample points to provide representative sampling of all
point source discharges to surface water or groundwater.
d. Assign a unique label (e.g. SI, S2, etc.) to each sampling point. The Permittee
Sand and Gravel General Permit~ August 17, 2011
Page 19
must use these labels on Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
e. List the standard procedures used at the facility for collecting samples for
analysis. The publications NPDES Stormwater Sampling Guidance Document
(EPA 833-B-92-001, July 1992), or How to Do Stormwater Sampling-A
guide for industrial facilities (Ecology Publication 02-10-071 ), or equivalent
sampling methods, must be used as guidance for stormwater, mine dewatering
water, and process water sampling procedures. The Permittee must collect
samples taken to meet the requirements of this general permit during the
facility's normal working hours and while processing at normal levels.
f. List the non-compliance notification procedures and contact numbers.
2. Maintaining Monitoring Plan
If facility conditions require the addition or deletion of a sampling point, the
Permittee must inform Ecology in writing of the addition/deletion before the end of
the quarter in which the change will occur. Notification is by use of the appropriate
notification form.
S5.C. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPPl
The Site Management Plan (SMP) must include a SWPPP.
I. The SWPPP must be consistent with permit requirements and include the BMPs
necessary to provide AKART It must also include any additional BMPs as
necessary to comply with state water quality standards.
2. Unless the facility is designed for reuse of process water, the SWPPP must include
measures to prevent the addition of process water or mine dewatering water into
stormwater and measures to verify that non-stormwater discharges do not enter the
stormwater treatment system. Stormwater that commingles with process water is
considered process water and is subject to all permit conditions for process water.
3. Modifications of the SWPPP
a. The Permittee must review and modify the SWPPP whenever there is a violation
of stormwater discharge limits in Special Conditions S2 and S3. Additional or
modified BMPs must be implemented as soon as practicable but not to exceed 10
days except for those circumstances that require additional time for such as
obtaining other permits or purchasing equipment. Allowance of time beyond 10
days must be requested of and approved by Ecology.
b. Ecology may require the Permittee to modify the SWPPP for non-compliance
with the minimum requirements of this section. The Permittee must then
complete SWPPP modifications and implement additional or modified BMPs as
soon as practicable or as directed by Ecology.
4. Stormwater BMPs must be consistent with one of the following conditions:
a. The Stormwater Management Manual (most current edition) for Western
Washington, for sites west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains.
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 20
b. The Stormwater Management Manual (most current edition) for Eastern
Washington, for sites east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains.
c. Other equivalent stormwater management guidance documents which have been
subject to public review and comment and approved by Ecology.
d. Documentation in the SWPPP that the BMPs selected provides an equivalent level
of pollution prevention, compared to the applicable Stormwater Management
Manual, including:
1. The technical basis for the selection of all stormwater BMPs (scientific,
technical studies, and/or modeling) which support the performance claims for
the BMPs being selected
ii. An assessment of how the selected BMP will satisfy AKART requirements and
the applicable federal technology-based treatment requirements under 40 CFR
part 125.3.
5. SWPPP Contents and Requirements
The SWPPP must contain, at a minimum, the following:
a. Site Map (may be combined with site map required in S5.B)
The site map must locate and document the stormwater drainage and discharge
structures, an outline of the stormwater drainage areas for each stormwater
discharge point (including discharges to groundwater,) and the discharge points.
The site map must also identify nearby and on-site surface water bodies, drainage
ditches and any known underlying aquifers.
The site map must also identify all areas associated with industrial activities
including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Loading and unloading of dry bulk materials or liquids.
11. Outdoor storage of materials or products.
iii. Outdoor processing.
iv. Processes that generate dust and particles.
v. Roofs or other surfaces exposed to air emissions from a process area.
vi. On-site waste treatment, storage, or disposal.
vii. Vehicle and equipment maintenance and/or cleaning.
viii. Paved areas and buildings.
ix. Underground storage of materials or products.
Lands adjacent to the site must also be depicted where helpful in identifying
discharge points or drainage routes.
b. Inventory of Materials and Pollutant Sources
This inventory must list potential pollutants and pollutant sources. The
inventory of materials must include a list of all types of materials handled at the
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 21
site that are exposed to precipitation or run-off(e.g. raw materials, cement
admixtures, petroleum products, etc.).
c. Runoff Conveyance and Treatment BMPs (see Stormwater Manual for
Western/Eastern Washington Vol. 5)
The SWPPP must include runoff conveyance and treatment BMPs as necessary to
control pollutants and comply with the stormwater discharge limits in S2 and S3.
Runoff conveyance BMPs include, but are not limited to:
i. Interceptor dikes
ii. Swales
iii. Channel lining
iv. Pipe slope drains
v. Outlet protection
Treatment BMPs may include, but are not limited to:
i. Oil/water separators
ii. Biofiltration swales
iii. Infiltration or detention basins
iv. Sediment traps
v. Chemical treatment systems
vi. Constructed wetlands
d. Innovative BMPs
Innovative treatment, source control, reduction or recycling, or operational MPs
beyond those identified in Ecology's SWMMs are encouraged if they help achieve
compliance with this general permit.
e. Other Materials
The Permittee must manage the following materials to prevent stormwater
contamination:
1. Toxic materials or chemicals
2. Petroleum contaminated soils (PCS) that fail to meet the most protective
MTCA Method 'A' treatment levels (WAC 173-340-740(2))
3. Cement
4. Admixtures
5. Fuels, lubricants, tar and other petroleum products
6. Any material that contains petroleum contamination or has the potential to
cause aquatic toxicity.
f. Source Control BMPs
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 22
The SWPPP must include source control BMPs as necessary to achieve AKART and
compliance with the stormwater discharge limits in S2 and S3. Ecology has
determined the following BMPs will be appropriate for most facilities covered
under this permit. The Permittee may omit individual BMPs if site conditions
render the BMP unnecessary, infeasible, or the Permittee provides alternative and
equally effective BMPs. The Permittee must note the rationale for omission or
substitution in the SWPPP. The Permittee must:
I. Store all chemical liquids, fluids, and petroleum products, on an impervious
surface surrounded with a containment berm or dike that is capable of containing
I 0% of the total enclosed tank volume or 110% of the volume contained in the
largest tank, whichever is greater.
i) Precipitation must be prevented from accumulating in containment areas with
a roof or equivalent structure.
ii) If cover is not practicable, the Spill Control Plan must include a description
of how accumulated water will be managed and disposed of.
2. Empty containers must be fully drained, capped and labeled. The number of
empty containers on site must be minimized.
3. Use drip pans and absorbents under leaky vehicles and equipment or store
indoors where feasible.
4. Fit all dumpsters containing leachable materials with a lid that must remain
closed when not in use, or alternatively keep the dumpster under cover.
5. Locate spill kits at all stationary fueling stations, fuel transfer stations, and
mobile fueling units.
6. Use drip pans or equivalent containment measures during all petroleum transfer
operations.
7. Conduct all vehicle and equipment cleaning operations under cover or in a
bermed area to prevent commingling of wash water and stormwater. All wash
water must drain to a proper collection system (i.e., not the stormwater drainage
system). This does not apply to using low pressure (under 100 psi) cold water to
rinse mud off of vehicles and equipment provided no soap is used, and provided
that the rinse water is routed to a sediment treatment structure on the site.
8. Store uncured concrete, any type of concrete solids (does not include fully cured
or recycled concrete), uncured asphalt paving materials, cold mix asphalt on a
bermed impervious surface. This includes ecology blocks, septic tanks, jersey
barriers, and other cast concrete products.
9. Treat all stormwater that contacts these materials (identified in 7 above) in a
lined impoundment as the permit considers it process wastewater. Discharge of
this water is subject to the effluent limitations in permit condition S2 and must
not cause a violation of water quality standards.
10. Store lead acid batteries under cover.
Sand and Gravel General Permit~ August 17, 2011
Page 23
11. Take leaking equipment out of service and prevent it from leaking on the
ground until repaired. Repair all leaks before putting equipment back into
service on the site.
12. Manage paving equipment to prevent stormwater contamination.
13. Manage sediment track out to paved public roads to prevent the tracked
sediment from delivering to surface water or storm drain systems. Discharges to
surface waters, public storm drain systems, or both are subject to permit limits
for turbidity and must be included in the Permittee's sampling plan whenever
track out onto the public roadway is evident. Measures recommended to
control or prevent track out include:
a. Limit vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.
b. Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other
equivalent BMP, as necessary to minimize the tracking of sediment onto
public roads.
c. Locate a closed loop wheel wash or tire baths ( or equivalent BMP) on site, if
the stabilized construction entrance is not effective in preventing sediment
from being tracked onto public roads. Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater,
must be discharged to an on-site treatment system or to the sanitary sewer.
d. Clean public roads thoroughly at the end of each day or more frequently
during wet weather if sediment is tracked off site. Clean sediment from
roads by shoveling or pickup sweeping and transport to a controlled
sediment disposal area.
e. Only wash streets after sediment is removed in accordance with condition d
above. Street wash wastewater must be controlled by pumping back on site
or otherwise be prevented from discharging into systems tributary to waters
of the state.
14. The Permittee must use source control BMPs in the following areas as
necessary to control pollutants:
a. Fueling at Dedicated Stations
b. Mobile Fueling
c. Loading and Unloading Areas
d. Storage of Liquid in Above-Ground Tanks
e. Dust Control
f. High Use Parking Areas
g. Storage or Transfer of Solid Raw Materials, By-Products or Finished
Products

for the portable facility at sites throughout the state subject to the following
requirements:
1. Coverage of the portable facility at a site is for a limited time, not to exceed two (2)
years. However, when related to a specific project, two six-month extensions may
be granted upon request. The Permittee must submit the request to Ecology in
writing, at least 30 days before the facility will exceed two years at a site and
explain why a six-month extension is warranted.
2. The Permittee of the portable facility must submit a completed and signed "Portable
Facility Notification of Intent to Begin Operation" form (ECY 070-36) no less than
ten (I 0) days before beginning each operation at a new location. The form must be
sent to the Water Quality Permit Coordinator at the appropriate Ecology regional
office for where the site and operation is located. The Permittee must also
complete requirements for new discharges (S9.A.3.a and b above) if the new
location will have a discharge to surface waters.
3. Upon completion of the portable operation, the Permittee must restore all areas
affected by the operation in accordance with the "Site Restoration" portion of the
"Notice of Intent to Begin Operations" form submitted to Ecology prior to
beginning operations.
Site restoration must include:
a. Cleaning up, or otherwise preventing the discharge of, any pollutant (including
spilled petroleum products) to waters of the state.
b. Stabilizing all areas affected by activities associated with the portable operation
with a permanent vegetative cover or equivalent permanent stabilization measure
(crushed rock surfacing, rip rap, etc.) which will prevent erosion.
4. The Permittee must submit a completed and signed "Portable Facility Notice of
Completion of Portable Operations" form (ECY 070-30) to the Water Quality Permit
Coordinator at the appropriate Ecology regional office when it has completed the

general permit will begin on the later of the following:
a. The thirty-first (31 ") day after Ecology receives the completed application for
coverage.
b. The thirty-first (31'') day after the end ofa thirty (30) day public comment period.
c. The effective date of the general permit.
2. If the application is incomplete, an appeal has been filed, public comments have been
received, or more information is necessary to determine whether a facility requires
coverage under the general permit, additional time may be required to review the
application. When additional time is required, Ecology will:
a. Notify the applicant in writing and identify the issues that must be resolved before
a decision can be reached.
b. Send the final decision to the applicant in writing. If the application for coverage
is approved, coverage begins the thirty-first (31 '') day after approval.
3. If the applicant has an individual permit but applies for coverage under the general
permit, the individual permit will remain in effect until terminated in writing by
Ecology. However, an expired individual permit, pursuant to WAC 173-220-180(5),
will terminate upon coverage by the general permit.
S9.D. Reporting Change in Operating Status
Any facility that changes operating status from active to inactive, or inactive to active,
must submit an "Operating Status Change Form" (ECY 070-331) to Ecology as
follows:
I. If the change is from inactive to active, the form must be submitted no less than ten
( I 0) days before the change.
2. If the change is from active to inactive, the form must be submitted no later than ten
( 10) days after the change.
The failure to accurately report changes in operating status is a permit violation.
S9.E. Terminating Coverage
A Permittee may request termination (cancellation) of permit coverage for a closed site
by submitting a "Change Request Form" (ECY 070-32). In addition to discontinuing
all activities at the site, the Permittee must complete restoration of the site.
I. A mining site is considered restored when DNR has completely released the
reclamation bond or the site has been reclaimed to the satisfaction of the Ecology
permit manager and local jurisdiction, if required. If the site is not subject to DNR
reclamation, the mining site is considered restored when the site has been reclaimed
to the satisfaction of the Ecology permit manager and local jurisdiction, if required.
2. Processing sites (includes concrete and asphalt batch operations) are considered
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 30
restored when processing equipment has been removed and the Ecology permit
manager determines the site has been returned to an appropriate condition.
3. Permittees that operated a portable facility at one or more locations in Washington
State may terminate statewide permit coverage if the Permittee is in compliance
with S9.B.4 at all sites where they have operated a portable facility under this
permit.
4. If the Permittee is prohibited by law from accessing the site to complete site
restoration, the Permittee may request termination by submitting to Ecology a
"Change Request Form" (ECY 070-32) along with documentation of the

Limits or Conditions.
Bypass is authorized if it is for essential maintenance and does not have the potential to
cause violations oflimitations or other conditions of this permit, or adversely impact
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 33
public health as determined by Ecology prior to the bypass. The Permittee must submit
prior notice, if possible, at least ten ( 10) days before the date of the bypass.
2. Bypass Which is Unavoidable, Unanticipated, and Results in Noncompliance of this
Permit.
This bypass is permitted only if:
a. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss oflife, personal injury, or severe property
damage. "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property,
damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.
b. There are no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance
during normal periods of equipment downtime (but not if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventative maintenance), or transport of untreated wastes to another
treatment facility.
c. Ecology is properly notified of the bypass as required in condition S6E of this
permit.
3. Bypass which is Anticipated and has the Potential to Result in Noncompliance of this
Permit.
The Permittee must notify Ecology at least thirty (30) days before the planned date of
bypass. The notice must contain (I) a description of the bypass and its cause; (2) an
analysis of all known alternatives which would eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the need
for bypassing; (3) a cost-effectiveness analysis of alternatives including comparative
resource damage assessment; (4) the minimum and maximum duration of bypass under
each alternative; (5) a recommendation as to the preferred alternative for conducting the
bypass; (6) the projected date of bypass initiation; (7) a statement of compliance with
SEPA; (8) a request for modification of water quality standards as provided for in WAC
173-201A-4 l 0, if an exceedance of any water quality standard is anticipated; and (9)
steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass.
For probable construction bypasses, the need to bypass is to be identified as early in the
planning process as possible. The analysis required above must be considered during
preparation of the engineering report or facilities plan and plans and specifications and
must be included to the extent practical. In cases where the probable need to bypass is
determined early, continued analysis is necessary up to and including the construction
period in an effort to minimize or eliminate the bypass.
Ecology will consider the following prior to issuing an administrative order for this type
bypass:
a. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related activities
essential to meet the requirements of this permit.
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 34
b. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance during
normal periods of equipment down time, or transport of untreated wastes to another
treatment facility.
c. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public and
the environment.
After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass and any
other relevant factors, Ecology will approve or deny the request. The public must be
notified and given an opportunity to comment on bypass incidents of significant
duration, to the extent feasible. Approval of a request to bypass will be by
administrative order issued by Ecology under RCW 90.48.120.
G6. RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND ENTRY
The Permittee must allow an authorized representative of Ecology, upon the presentation of
credentials and such other documents as may be required by law:
A. To enter upon the premises where a discharge is located or where any records must be
kept under the terms and conditions of this permit.
B. To have access to and copy -at reasonable times and at reasonable cost -any records
required to be kept under the terms and conditions ofthis permit.
C. To inspect -at reasonable times -any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and
control equipment), practices, methods, or operations regulated or required under this
permit.
D. To sample or monitor -at reasonable times -any substances or parameters at any
location for purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the
Clean Water Act.
G7. PLAN REVIEW REQUIRED
Prior to constructing or modifying any wastewater control facilities, an engineering report
and detailed plans and specifications must be submitted to Ecology for approval in
accordance with Chapter 173-240 WAC. Engineering reports, plans, and specifications must
be submitted at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the planned start of construction
unless a shorter time is approved by Ecology. Facilities must be constructed and operated in
accordance with the approved plans.
GB. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN COVERED ACTIVITIES
The Permittee must submit a new application for coverage whenever facility
expansions, production increases, or process modifications are anticipated that will:
A. Result in new or substantially changed discharges of pollutants; or
B. Violate the terms and conditions of this permit. This new application for coverage must
be submitted at least 60 days prior to the proposed changes. Submission of the
application for coverage does not relieve the Permittee of the duty to comply with the
existing permit.
Sand and Gravel General Permit-August 17, 2011
Page 35
G9. PERMIT COVERAGE REVOKED
Pursuant with Chapter 43 .2 lB RCW and Chapter 173-226 WAC, the Director may require
any discharger authorized by this permit to apply for and obtain coverage under an
individual permit or another more specific and appropriate general permit. Cases where
revocation of coverage may be required include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. Violation of any term or condition of this permit;
B. Obtaining coverage under this permit by misrepresentation or failure to fully disclose all
relevant facts;
C. A change in any condition that requires a temporary or permanent reduction or
elimination of the permitted discharge;

E. A determination that the permitted activity endangers human health or the environment,
or contributes to water quality standards violations;
F. Nonpayment of permit fees or penalties assessed pursuant to RCW 90.48.465 and
Chapter 173-224 WAC;
G. Failure of the Permittee to satisfy the public notice requirements of WAC 173-226-
130(5), when applicable; or
H. Incorporation of an approved local pretreatment program into. a municipality's permit.
Permittees that have their coverage revoked for cause according to WAC 173-226-240 may
request temporary coverage under this permit during the time an individual permit is being
developed, provided the request is made within ninety (90) days from the time of revocation
and is submitted along with a complete individual permit application form.
G10. GENERAL PERMIT MODIFICATION AND REVOCATION
This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 173-226 WAC. Grounds for modification or revocation and re-
issuance include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. When a change occurs in the technology or practices for control or abatement of
pollutants applicable to the category of dischargers covered under this permit;
B. When effluent limitation guidelines or standards are promulgated pursuant to the
FWPCA or Chapter 90.48 RCW, for the category of dischargers covered under this
permit;
C. When a water quality management plan containing requirements applicable to the
category of dischargers covered under this permit is approved; or
D. When information is obtained that indicates the cumulative effects on the environment
from dischargers covered under this permit are unacceptable.
G11. REPORTING A CAUSE FOR MODIFICATION
A Permittee who knows, or has reason to believe, any activity has occurred or will occur
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 36
which would constitute cause for modification or revocation under Condition G 10, or 40
CFR 122.62, must report such plans, or such information, to Ecology so that a decision can
be made on whether action to modify coverage or revoke coverage under this permit will be
required. Ecology may then require submission of a new application for coverage under
this, or another general permit, or an application for an individual permit. Submission of a
new application does not relieve the Permittee of the duty to comply with all the terms and
conditions of the existing permit until the new application for coverage has been approved
and corresponding permit has been issued.
G12. TOXIC POLLUTANTS
The Permittee must comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section
307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations
that establish those standards or prohibitions, even if this permit has not yet been modified to
incorporate the requirement.
G13. OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF 40 CFR
All other requirements of 40 CFR 122.41 and 122.42 are incorporated in this general permit
by reference.
G14. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND STATUTES
Nothing in this permit excuses the Permittee from compliance with any applicable Federal,
State, or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations.

this general permit by applying for an individual permit. The discharger must submit to the
Director an application as described in WAC 173-220-040 or WAC 173-216-070,
Sand and Gravel General Permit-August 17, 2011
Page 37
whichever is applicable, with reasons supporting the request. The Director will either issue
an individual permit or deny the request with a statement explaining the reason for the
denial. When an individual permit is issued to a discharger otherwise subject to this
general permit, the applicability of this general permit to that Permittee is automatically
terminated on the effective date of the individual permit.
G19. PERMIT TRANSFER
A. Coverage under this permit is automatically transferred to a new owner or operator if:
1. The Permittee notifies Ecology at least 30 days in advance of the proposed transfer
date.
2. The notice includes a written agreement between the existing and new Permittees
containing a specific date transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liability
between them.
3. Ecology does not notify the existing Permittee and the proposed new Permittee of its
intent to modify or revoke coverage under this permit.
8. Unless permit coverage is automatically transferred according to section A. above, this
permit coverage may be transferred only if it is modified to identify the new Permittee
and to incorporate such other requirements as determined necessary by Ecology.
G20. DUTY TO REAPPLY
The Permittee must reapply for coverage under this permit, at least, one hundred and eighty
(180) days prior to the specified expiration date of this permit. An expired permit continues
in force and effect until a new permit is issued or until Ecology cancels it. Only those
facilities which have reapplied for coverage under this permit are covered under the
continued permit.
G21. UPSET
Definition -"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of the following
paragraph are met.
A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset must demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that: 1)
an upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; 2) the
permitted facility was being properly operated at the time of the upset; 3) the Permittee
submitted notice of the upset as required in condition S6.E) the Permittee complied with any
remedial measures required under G30 of this permit.

B. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to an individual discharger, are
appealable in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW within 30 days of the effective date of
coverage of that discharger. Consideration of an appeal of general permit coverage of an
individual discharger is limited to the general permit's applicability or non-applicability to
that individual discharger.
C. The appeal of general permit coverage of an individual discharger does not affect any
other dischargers covered under this general permit. If the terms and conditions of this
general permit are found to be inapplicable to any individual discharger(s), the matter will be
remanded to Ecology for consideration of issuance ofan individual permit or permits.
G24. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this general permit or
application of any provision of this general permit to any circumstance is held invalid, the
application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this general
permit, will not be affected thereby.
G25. PROPERTY RIGHTS
This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
G26. DUTY TO COMPLY

These defmitions are for terms that are used, or relate, to this permit. In other sections of the
permit, defined terms appear in italics.
Active Site means a location where current mining (including site preparation and reclamation) or
processing operations (including, but not limited to, crushing, classifying, or operating a concrete
or hot mix asphalt plant) or stockpiles associated with current mining or processing operations,
are located. Also see defmitions for Inactive Site and Closed Site.
AKARTis an acronym for "all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention, control,
and treatment." AKART represents the most current methodology that can be reasonably required
for preventing, controlling, or abating the pollutants and controlling pollution associated with a
discharge.
Applicable TMDL means a TMDL for turbidity, fine sediment or high pH which was completed
and approved by EPA prior to the later effective date of this permit, or modification, or the date
the operator's complete application is received by Ecology.
Average monthly effluent limit means the highest allowable average of daily discharges over a
calendar month. To calculate the discharge value to compare to the limit, you add the value of
each daily discharge measured during a calendar month and divide this sum by the total number
of daily discharges measured.
Average quarterly effluent limit means the highest allowable average of daily discharges over a
quarter (3 months). To calculate the discharge value to compare to the limit, add the value of
each daily discharge measured during a quarter and divide this sum by the total number of daily
discharges measured.
Best Management Practices (BMPs -general definition) means schedules of activities,
prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other physical, structural and/or
managerial practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the state. BMPs include
treatment systems, operating procedures, and practices used to control plant site runoff, spillage
or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, and drainage from raw material storage. In this permit BMPs
are further categorized as operational, source control, erosion and sediment control, and
treatment.
Bypass means the diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.
Capital BMPs means the following improvements that will require capital expenditures:
1. Treatment BMPs, including but not limited to: biofiltration systems including constructed
wetlands, settling basins, oil separation equipment, impoundments, and detention and
retention basins.
2. Manufacturing modifications, including process changes for source reduction, if capital
expenditures for such modifications are incurred.
3. Concrete pads and dikes and appropriate pumping for collection of stormwater, process
water or mine dewatering water and transfer to control systems from manufacturing areas
such as loading, unloading, outside processing, fueling and storage of chemicals and
equipment and wastes.

Closed Site means a location where all activities associated with permit coverage have been
terminated with no intent to return to operation in the future. Also see definitions for Inactive
Site and Active Site.
Constructed Wetland means wetlands intentionally created for the primary purpose of
wastewater or stormwater treatment and managed as such. Constructed wetlands are normally
considered as part of the stormwater collection and treatment system. Wetlands constructed for
treatment of stormwater are not be eligible for use as compensatory mitigation for authorized
impacts to regulated wetland systems.
Critical Flows means the lowest receiving water flows at the time wastewater discharges occur.
For process wastewater discharges which discharge from the site throughout the year, this is
typically midsummer flow. For stormwater discharges this is the receiving water flow when
significant stormwater begins to discharge from the site, typically early fall.
Current EPA-approved 303(d) list means the list which is in effect on the effective date of this
permit, or the 303(d) list which is in effect at the date the Permittee's first application for
coverage is received by Ecology, whichever is later.
Design Storm means the precipitation event that is used to design stormwater facilities, e.g. 10-
year, 24-hour storm event. Refer to Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for specific
information on requirements for determining design storm volume and flow rate appropriate for
designing stormwater treatment systems.
Design Storm Volume means the volume of runoff predicted to occur from a specified storm
event. The storm event includes a time interval (e.g. 24-hours) and frequency (e.g. JO-year).
Volume-based treatment BMPs use the design storm volume as their design basis. Refer to the
Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for storm event and additional information.
Director means the Director of the Washington Department of Ecology or his/her authorized
representative.
Discharge to Groundwater means the discharge of water into an unlined impoundment or onto
the surface of the ground that allows the discharged water to percolate, or potentially percolate,
to groundwater. Discharge to groundwater, discharge to land, and discharge to ground all have
the same meaning.
Discharger means an owner or operator of any facility or activity subject to regulation under
Chapter 90.48 RCW or the Federal Clean Water Act.
Disturbed Area means any area where activity has physically disrupted, compacted, moved, or
otherwise altered the characteristics of soil, bedrock, vegetation, or existing topography. This
includes activity in preparation for: a) surface mining, b) the construction of structures or, c)
mobilization of processing equipment. Stormwater discharge from disturbed areas is considered
Type 2 Stormwater.
Equivalent stormwater management documents means manuals ofBMPs approved by Ecology
and subject to public review and comment.

Erosion means the wearing away of the land surface by precipitation, running water, ice, wind or
other geological agents, including processes such as gravitational creep. Erosion also means the
detachment and movement of soil or rock fragments by water, wind, ice or gravity.
Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs means BMPs intended to prevent erosion and
sedimentation, such as preserving natural vegetation, seeding, mulching and matting, plastic
covering, filter fences, and sediment traps and ponds. Erosion and sediment control BMPs are
synonymous with stabilization and structural BMPs.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) means a document that describes the potential for
erosion and sedimentation problems and explains and illustrates the measures to be taken to
control those problems.
Existing Facility means a facility that begins activities that result in a discharge, or a potential
discharge to waters of the state, prior to the effective date of the general permit.
Final Stabilization means completion of all soil disturbing activities at the site and establishment
of a permanent vegetative cover, or installation of equivalent permanent stabilization measures
(such as riprap, gabions or geotextiles) that will prevent erosion.
40 CFR means Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which is the codification of the
general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and
agencies of the Federal government.
g/l.!!l. means gallons per minute; the volume of fluid passing a point during a one minute interval.
Groundwater means water in a saturated zone or stratum beneath the land surface or a surface
water body.
Groundwater Discharges: If water puddles/collects and discharges to ground at multiple
locations on site, it is unlikely that all locations must be sampled. Consider the source of the
water. If all the water is coming from a gravel stockpile area it is likely that just one sampling
point is required. However, if some discharge points receive runoff from a gravel stockpile area
and others receiving water from a concrete batch area, two sample points are probably necessary.
Hot Mix Asphalt Plant means a plant that blends together aggregate and asphalt cement to
produce a hot, homogeneous asphalt paving mixture. The term includes batch plants, continuous
mix plants, and drum mix plants.
Inactive Site means a location where 1) previous mining or processing operations (including, but
not limited to, crushing, classifying, or operating a concrete or hot mix asphalt plant) has
occurred; and has not been closed and restored; and 2) has no current mining or processing
operations but may include stockpiles of raw materials or finished products; and 3) the Permittee
has submitted an Operating Status Change Form (ECY 070-33) declaring the site inactive. The
Permittee may add or withdraw raw materials or finished products from the stockpiles for
transportation off site for processing, use, or sale and still be considered an inactive site, however
monitoring may be required. Also see definitions for Active Site and Closed Site.
Inert means nonreactive, nondangerous solid materials that are likely to retain their physical and
chemical structure under expected conditions of use or disposal.
Leachate means water or other liquid that has percolated through raw material, product, or waste
and contains substances in solution or suspension as a result of the contact with these materials.

Local Government means any county, city, or town having its own government for local affairs.
Maior Modification of Coverage means a change of operation at a facility that is not a Minor
Modification. Public notice is required for this modification.
Maximum daily effluent limit means the highest allowable daily discharge. The daily discharge
means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day. For pollutants with limits
expressed in units of mass, the daily discharge is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant
discharged over the day. For other units of measurement, the daily discharge is the average
measurement of the pollutant over the day. This does not apply to pH.
Mine Dewatering Water means any water that is impounded or that collects in the mine and is
pumped, drained, or otherwise removed from the mine through the efforts of the mine operator.
This term must also include wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater
seepage. However, if a mine is used for treatment of process generated waste water, discharges
of commingled water from the mine must be deemed discharges of process generated water.
Minor Modification of Coverage means a change of operation at a facility that does not
substantially change the volume or nature of pollutants. No public notice or new Application for
Coverage is required for this modification.
Monitoring Benchmark means a pollutant concentration used as a permit threshold, below which
a pollutant is considered unlikely to cause a water quality violation. When pollutant
concentrations exceed benchmarks, corrective action is required. Benchmark values are not
water quality standards and are not numeric effluent limitations; they are indicator values
Municipality means a political unit such as a city, town, or county, incorporated for local self-
government.
NAICS -see Appendix A
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) means the national program for
issuing, modifying, revoking, and reissuing, terminating, monitoring, and enforcing permits, and
imposing and enforcing pretreatment requirements, under sections 307, 402, 318, and 405 of the
Federal Clean Water Act, for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters of the state from point
sources. These permits are referred to as NPDES permits and, in Washington State, are
administered by the Washington Department of Ecology.
Natural Conditions means surface water quality that was present before any human-caused
pollution. When estimating natural conditions in the headwaters of a disturbed watershed it may
be necessary to use the less disturbed conditions of a neighboring or similar watershed as a
reference condition.
New Facility means a facility which begins activities that result in a discharge, or a potential
discharge to waters of the state, on or after the effective date of this general permit.
Non-delegated POTW means a POTW which has not been delegated to issue permits for
industrial dischargers to its system. Ecology is the permitting authority for non-delegated
POTWs.
NTU means Nephelometric Turbidity Units, a measure of turbidity.
J!ll --The pH of a liquid measures its acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is defined as neutral and
large variations above or below this value are harmful to most aquatic life.
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page47
Point Source means any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but not
limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, and container from
which pollutants are or may be discharged to waters of the state. This term does not include
return flows from irrigated agriculture.
Pollutant means dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, filter backwash, sewage,
garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials,
heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and industrial, municipal, and
agricultural waste. This term does not include sewage from vessels within the meaning of
section 312 of the FWPCA, nor does it include dredged or fill material discharged in accordance
with a permit issued under section 404 of the FWPCA.
Pollution means contamination or other alteration of the physical, chemical, or biological
properties of waters of the state, including change in temperature, taste, color, turbidity, or odor
of the waters; or such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive or other substance into
any waters of the state as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful,
detrimental or injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, or to domestic, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate beneficial uses, or to livestock, wild
animals, birds, fish, or other aquatic life.
POTW means publically-owned treatment works. This is a sewage treatment plant and the
collection system ( 40 CFR 122.2).
Process Water means any water that is used for or results from the production, clean-up, or use of
any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, or waste product. The term
also means any waste water used in or results from the slurry transport of mined material, air
emissions control, or processing exclusive of mining. Also, see definitions for Type 1, 2, and 3
Stormwater.
Receiving Water means the waterbody at the point of discharge. If the discharge is to a
stormwater conveyance system, either surface or subsurface, the receiving water is the waterbody
that the stormwater conveyance system discharges to. Systems designed primarily for other
purposes such as for groundwater drainage, redirecting stream natural flows, or for conveyance of
irrigation water/return flows that coincidentally convey stormwater are considered the receiving
water.
Representative Sampling means collecting an array of samples to accurately represent the nature
of the discharge for parameters of concern. Many factors contribute to variability of pollutants
in a discharge including quantity of water, time and date of sampling, and physical events and
location of discharge.
Sanitary Sewer means a sewer designed to convey domestic wastewater.
Sediment means the fragmented material that originates from the weathering and erosion of rocks
or unconsolidated deposits and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by water.
Sedimentation means the depositing or formation of sediment.
SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) means the Washington State Law, RCW 43.21C.020,
intended to prevent or eliminate damage to the environment.
Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment
facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of

natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.
Significant Process Change means a change in the nature of discharge with respect to increased
volume and type or concentrations of pollutants. Examples include adding a batch plant at a site,
etc/
Significant Amounts means those amounts of pollutants that are amenable to treatment or
prevention or that have the potential to cause or contribute to a violation of standards for surface
or groundwater quality or sediment management.
Significant Materials includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as
solvents and detergents; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) ofCERCLA;
any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of title III of SARA;
fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have the potential
to be released with stormwater or process water discharges.
Silvicultural Point Sources are timber tract and logging activities (SIC codes 0811 and 2411) that
produce mined materials for use in forest management. Additionally, silvicultural point source
activities are limited to rock crushing or gravel washing operations that use a discernible,
confined and discrete conveyance to discharge pollutants to surface waters of the state.
Site means the land or water area where any "facility or activity" is physically located or
conducted.
Source Control BMPs means physical, structural, or mechanical devices or facilities intended to
prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. A few examples of source control BMPs are
erosion control practices, maintenance of stormwater facilities, construction of roofs over
storage and working areas, and direction of wash water and similar discharges to the sanitary
sewer or a dead end sump.
Stabilization means the application of appropriate BMPs to prevent the erosion of soils, such as
temporary and permanent seeding, vegetative covers, mulching and matting, plastic covering,
and sodding. See also the definition of Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs.
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is the statistical classification standard underlying all
establishment-based federal economic statistics classified by industry as reported in the 1987 SIC
Manual by the Office of Management and Budget.
Storm Sewer means a sewer that is designed to carry stormwater. Also called a storm drain.
Stormwater means rainfall and snowmelt runoff.
Stormwater Drainage System means constructed and natural features that function together as a
system to collect, convey, channel, hold, inhibit, retain, detain, infiltrate, or divert stormwater.
Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) means the technical manual prepared by Ecology for
use by local governments that contains BMPs to prevent, control, or treat pollution in
stormwater.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) means a documented plan to implement
measures to identify, prevent, and control the contamination of point source discharges of
stormwater.
Substantial Change (Requiring a new application for coverage) -Substantial change of
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page49
discharge for this industry group will be any modification of the facility that would change the
characteristics of the discharge or include for coverage a new activity (SIC) that was not
previously covered.
Surface Water Discharges: For all parameters required by this permit, a grab sample of
instantaneous measurement will be considered representative. Stormwater sampling should
occur within 24 hours of the initial discharge from a significant precipitation event (e.g. 0.25
inch/24 hr. precipitation event). Process water or mine dewatering water sampling should be
timed to occur when the facility is operating at full capacity.
Surface Waters o(the State includes lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, wetlands, inland waters, salt
waters, and all other surface waters and water courses within the jurisdiction of the state of
Washington.
JO-year. 24-hour precipitation event means the maximum 24 hour precipitation event with a
probable reoccurrence interval of once in IO years.
Total Daily Maximum Load (TMDL) means a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant
that a waterbody can receive and still meet State water quality standards. Percentages of the total
maximum daily load are allocated to the various pollutant sources. A TMDL is the sum of the
allowable loads of a single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources. The
TMDL calculations must include a "margin of safety" to ensure that the waterbody can be
protected in case there are unforeseen events or unknown sources of the pollutant. The
calculation must also account for seasonable variation in water quality. A TMDL is effective
after EPA approval. TMDL as used in this permit includes alternative "direct to implementation
plans".
Total Dissolved Solids {TDS) means those solids that are capable of passing through a glass fiber
filter (1.0-1.5 µm) and dried to a constant weight at 180 degrees centigrade.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is the particulate material in an effluent that does not pass through
a glass fiber filter. Large quantities ofTSS discharged to a receiving water may result in solids
accumulation. Apart from any toxic effects attributable to substances leached out by water,
suspended solids may kill fish, shellfish, and other aquatic organisms by causing abrasive
injuries and by clogging the gills and respiratory passages of various aquatic fauna. Indirectly,
suspended solids can screen out light and can promote and maintain the development of noxious
conditions through oxygen depletion.
Treatment BMPs means BMPs intended to remove pollutants from stormwater. A few examples
of treatment BMPs are detention ponds, oil/water separators, biofiltration, and constructed
wetlands.
Turbidity means the clarity of water as expressed by nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and
measured with a calibrated turbidimeter.
Type I Stormwater means stormwater from portions of a site where no industrial activities have
occurred or from a site or area within a site that has been reclaimed and the reclamation bond
portion thereof (if any) has been released.
Type 2 Stormwater means stormwater from: I) portions of a site where mining has temporarily
or permanently ceased; or 2) from portions of a site with exposed soils in areas cleared in
preparation for mining or other industrial activity. When different types of stormwater
Sand and Gravel General Permit -August 17, 2011
Page 50
commingle the water becomes the highest of the types which have commingled (i.e. when Type
1 and Type 2 stormwater commingle the stormwater becomes Type 2).
Type 3 Stormwater means stormwater discharges from:
1. Industrial plant yards;
2. Immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials,
manufactured products, waste material, or by-products used or created by the facility;
3. Material handling sites;
4. Sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment;
5. Sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal;
6. Shipping and receiving areas;
7. Storage areas for raw materials or intermediate and finished products at active sites; and
8. Areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain
and are exposed to stormwater.
USEP A means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Waste/oad Allocation (WLA) means the portion of a receiving water's loading capacity that is
allocated to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution. WLAs constitute a type of
water quality based effluent limitation (40 CFR 130.2(h)).
Wastewater means water or liquid carried waste from industrial or commercial processes. These
wastes may result from any process or activity of industry, manufacture, trade or business, or
from the development of any natural resource. The term includes contaminated stormwater.
Water Quality means the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water, normally
with respect to its suitability for a particular purpose.
Waters o(the State includes those waters as defined as "waters of the United States" in 40 CFR
Subpart 122.2 within the geographic boundaries of Washington State and "waters of the state"
as defined in Chapter 90.48 RCW. This includes groundwater, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams,
wetlands, inland waters, salt waters and all other surface waters and water courses within the
jurisdiction of the State of Washington.
Wellhead Protection Area (WHPAI means the portion of a welt's, well field's, or spring's zone
of contribution defined as such using WHP A criteria established by the Washington Department
of Health.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Tier II
Permit pursuant to Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-240 in order to continue w Iempurd111y
stockpile construction aggregates for a period up to five (5) years. The 9.022 acre site consists
of the easterly three (3) parcels located contiguous to the Stoneway Black River Quarry
property, just south of the eastern portion of the Sunset View Apartment Homes. The Black
River Quarry's street address is SlO Monster Road SW, Renton, WA (APN's 3779200005,
3779200008 and 3779200009). In addition to stockpiling, the site is used for outdoor storage of
construction materials (pipe, manholes and catch basins} and construction equipment (loaders,
excavators, trucks, and trailers). All three parcels are zoned Light Industrial (IL) on the City's
zoning map.
Stormwater from the site is discharged to ground or captured through a series of swales and
routed to an existing sediment pond on the Black River Quarry property. The site is currently
regulated by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the Department of Ecology's Sand and
Gravel General Permit. As such, there are stringent environmental regulations that require
limitation of erosion, control of dust, and monitoring of all stormwater discharges. Currently,
Pointe Heron uses the following BMPs: interceptor dikes, straw waddles, rock check dams, track
walking, sediment ponds, CO2 sparging, stabilization measures and site watering.

Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: December 161 2014
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: Pointe Heron Temporary Use Permit/ LUA14-001619, TP
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Pointe Heron LLC, is requesting a Tier 2 Temporary Use
Permit pursuant to Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-240 for the proposed five-year temporary use. The 9.022 acre
site consists of the easterly three parcels located contiguous to the Stoneway Black River Quarry property, just south of
the eastern portion of the Sunset View Apartment Homes. The Black River Quarry's street address is 510 Monster Road
SW, Renton, WA (APN's 3779200005, 3779200008 and 3779200009). All three parcels are zoned Light Industrial {IL). The
site is currently being used primarily for outdoor stockpiling of construction aggregates with some stockpiles as tall as 50
feet. Other portions of the site are used for outdoor storage of construction materials and equipment. Stormwater from
the site is discharged to ground or captured through a series of swales and routed to an existing sediment pond on the
Black River Quarry property. There are no wetlands or water bodies on the three parcels. An existing steep slope lies
along the south edge of the three parcels. Access to the site is through the westerly part of the Quarry property from
Monster Road SW. No trees are proposed to be removed and no fill or excavation is proposed. The applicant submitted
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, prepared on January 4, 2013 for Kangley Rock and Recycle Black River
Quarry.

Justification for the Proposed "Point Heron Tier 2 Temporary Use"
Project Name:
Pointe Heron Tier 2 Temporary Use.
Size and Location of Site:
The approximately 9.022 acre temporary use site is located within a contiguous area on the
easterly three lots of the overall Stoneway Black River Quarry property. Those three lots total
9.022 acres in size. The Black River Quarry's street address is 510 Monster Road SW, Renton
WA.
The temporary use site is located (1) roughly 1,700 feet east of Monster Road SW, (2) south of
the eastern portion of the Sunset View Apartments property (property that lies south of SW
Sunset Boulevard), (3) north of the BNSF Railroad right-of-way, and (4) west of the site of the
previously approved (now expired) Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat.
Assessor's Parcel Number:
The three parcels on which the subject project site is located have been assigned King County
Assessor's Parcel Numbers 3779200005, 3779200008, 3779200009.
Legal Description of the Three Parcels:
The three parcels within which the subject temporary use site is located are legally described as
follows:
PARCEL 1:
LOT 1, JUNCTION ADDITION, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN VOLUME
12 OF PLATS, PAGE 75, RECORDS OF KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON;

PARCEL 3:
PARCEL A OF THE QIP LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT (CITY OF RENTON FILE NO. LUA-07-118-
LLA) AS RECORDED IN VOLUME 236 OF SURVEYS, PAGES 112 AND 113, UNDER
RECORDING NO. 20071207900009, RECORDS OF KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
Land Use Permits Required for the Proposed Use:
The City is requiring a Tier 2 Temporary Use Permit pursuant to Renton Municipal Code Section
4-9-240 for the proposed five-year temporary use.
Zoning Designation of the Site and Adjacent Properties:
All three of the parcels on which the temporary use site is located are zoned Light Industrial
Light (IL).
Properties adjacent to the east, west, north, and south of the group of the three parcels are
currently zoned as follows:
To the east:
To the west:
To the north
December 3, 2014
Light Industrial Light (IL) zoning exists on the Sunpointe
Townhomes property.
Heavy Industrial (IL) zoning exists on the portion of the
Black River Quarry lying to the west of the three
subject parcels.
The site of the Sunset View Apartments to the north of
the three subject parcels is zoned Residential Multi-
family (RM-F). (A 20-foot-wide strip of unimproved
City of Renton road right-of-way lies between the
2
•
Project Narrative
To the south:
Pointe Heron LLC
three subject parcels and the Sunset View Apartments
to the north.)
A 30-foot-wide strip of unimproved City of Renton
road right-of-way abuts the south edge of the three
subject parcels. Along and to the south of that
unimproved road right-of-way is the abutting 100-foot-
wide Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad right-
of-way. South of that right-of-way is an open space
area owned by the City of Renton that is zoned
Resource Conservation (RC).
Current Use of the Site and any Existing Improvements:
The approximately 9.022-acre temporary use site is currently being used primarily for outdoor
stockpiling of construction aggregates, with some stockpiles as tall as about 50 feet. Some
portions of the temporary use site are used for outdoor storage of other construction materials
(such as pipe, manholes, and catch basins) and outdoor storage of construction equipment
(such as, but not limited to: loaders, excavators, dump trucks, spreaders, backhoes and service
vehicles). The existing use area (which is the same as the proposed temporary use area) is
surfaced with crushed aggregate, which prevents erosion. Stormwater from the site is
discharged to ground or captured through a series of swales and routed to an existing sediment
pond on the Black River Quarry property.
Special site features (i.e., wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes}:
There are no wetlands or water bodies on the three parcels that encompass the proposed site
of the temporary use. An existing steep slope lies along the south edge of the three parcels
Proposed Use of the Property and Scope of the Proposed Development:
The proposed use is a continuation of (1) use of most of the temporary use area for outdoor
stockpiling of construction aggregates (some stockpiles may be as tall as 50 feet), (2) use of
some smaller portions of the site for outdoor storage of construction materials (such as pipe,
manholes, and catch basins), and (3) use of some smaller portions of the site for outdoor
storage of construction equipment (such as loaders, excavators, dump trucks, spreaders,
backhoes, office trailers and service vehicles).

Construction Mitigation Description
Project Name:
Pointe Heron Tier 2 Temporary Use.
Proposed Construction Dates
The use proposed under the Temporary Use Permit is already established and has been in
operation for many years. The Temporary Use Permit Application proposes that the existing
use be allowed on the property for a period of no less than 5 additional years. The
commencement date should thus be the permit issuance date and the end date shall be five (5)
years from the date of issuance.
Hours and Days of Operation
As stated above, the use proposed under the TUP already exists. The hours of operation for the
existing use are 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. We are not proposing
any changes to this as operational timeframes are dictated by market factors outside of our
control.
Proposed Hauling/Transportation Routes
Access to the proposed temporary use site is through the westerly part of the Stoneway Balck
River Quarry property from the quarry property's entrance roadway at Monster Rd. There is
neither a specified route to access the entrance of the Black River Quarry, nor does there
reasonably need to be one. Monster Road SW is not in a heavily developed residential area or in
a dense business district where traffic congestion can be heavy. Based on the quantity of
materials generally stored on the site, it is unlikely that the project will produce any traffic
congestion getting to and from Monster Road. Trucks hauling stockpile material may be coming
from multiple, as-of-yet unknown locations, making the establishment of a haul rout for the
project site all the more unrealistic.
•
Measures to be Implemented to Minimize Dust, Traffic, and Transportation Impacts, Erosion,
Mud, Noise and other Noxious Characteristics
As stated above, the use proposed under the TUP already exists. There are numerous
measures already in place to mitigate the characteristics of the use. Dust is minimized (when
necessary) through the use of an on-site water truck. The water truck is used to increase the
moisture content of material stockpiles and haul roads in order to reduce dust. All traffic
enters and leaves through the Black River Quarry entrance onto Monster Road. This entrance is
located off of a non-residential street, which reduces noise impacts from the traffic.
Additionally the entrance is equipped with a wheel wash in order to remove any sediment from
truck tires prior to them leaving the site. Transportation and noise impacts are also reduced
through the use of large signs on the site such as, "No Slamming of Tailgates." These signs
remind drivers to reduce noise impacts to neighboring properties through operational best
management practices. Erosion control measures such as swales and impervious surfaces are
already installed on the site. Swales also are used to direct any stormwater that hits the site to
an existing sediment pond located on the Black River Quarry parcels. This pond and
conveyance system allows stormwater to settle out prior to discharge to surface waters,
reducing any stormwater impacts. It should also be noted that historically there was a
landscape buffer between the property to the north of the site and the TUP site. This buffer
was removed at the request of the ownership of the northern property in order to increase the
views of the adjacent site's apartments.

Materials Inventorv:
Operations at Kangley Rock and Recycle Black River require the following materials:
Aggregates Storage: Black River Quarry stores various sizes of aggregate in stockpiles
throughout the site. The aggregate is stored for a number of uses. Material is brought in
from off site to be crushed and reused. It is also stockpiled for sale and use in the
batching of concrete. Materials include but are not limited to: broken concrete and
asphalt, recycled concrete, pea gravel, state sand, one and a half inch rock, seven eighths
inch rock and concrete sand. Aggregates produced by mining operations are transported
to the stockpiles through conveyer systems and through the use of heavy machinery. All
transport of materials and final stockpiling is uncovered and thus subject to contact with
stormwater.
Mobile Equipment: Equipment used at the site includes pump trucks, sweeper trucks,
delivery trucks, water trucks, dump trucks, ready mix trucks, yellow iron, and
miscellaneous light vehicles. During operation, light vehicles park on the outer
boundaries of the site near the scale house. Heavy duty trucks and iron are stored
throughout the site. Vehicles are generally stored on site when the plant is not in
operation.
Cement: Cement is stored on site during concrete production. Cement is delivered to the
concrete batch plant by a pump truck.
Admixh!fes: The site has a secondary containment area in which admixtures are stored.
Water that builds up in the secondary containment area is pumped out through the use of
a sweeper truck and transported to Stoneway Concrete's Renton Batch Plant for reuse.
These chemicals are used in concrete production.
Process Water: The site holds process water in a three tier concrete walled containment
vault. Any water or fluids that are dispensed within the batch plant containment area and
truck wash out add to the process water vault. Process water and sediment is settled out
through the tiered vault system and then discharged to the sanitary sewer under Major
Discharge Authorization Number 4080-01.
Waste Oils and Lubricating Fluids: Small amounts of waste oils and lubricating fluids
are stored in job shack located near the rock crusher. All oils and fluids are located in
areas of cover or secondary containment.
Metals: Various metals including steel and iron are stored on site. The metals are a
byproduct of the concrete and asphalt crushing that occurs on site. Once the metals have
been separated from the aggregated they are stored in a dump bin and transported off site
for reuse.
Source Control BMPs:
Source Control BMPs are those that prevent spills and contaminants from coming into
contact with storm water through physical separation or careful management of activities
that are sources of pollutants. There are two types of Source Control BMPs including
Operational BMPs and Structural BMPs.
Operational BMPs: Operational BMPs are non-structural practices that prevent or
reduce pollutants from entering storm water. Kangley Rock and Recycle Black River
Quarry incorporates many of these BMPs into their processes including: pollution
prevention team, good house keeping procedures, preventative maintenance procedures,
spill prevention and cleanup, employee training, and recycling practices.
• Pollution Prevention Team: A pollution prevention team has been set up in order
to ensure clear lines of communication during an emergency and to ensure that
preventative maintenance procedures are accomplished. The pollution prevention
team consists of Dan Lonsdale, Pit Manager, Don Robertson, Safety Manager,
and Jimmy Blais, Environmental Manager.
• Preventative Maintenance Procedures: Monthly inspections of chemical
containers, aggregate storage, yard and catch basins help prevent discharge of
pollutants and sediment into storm water. Daily visual inspections for oil leaks
ensure that spills are cleaned up and mitigated. Weekly sweeping also controls
dust and removes sediments.
• Spill Prevention and Cleanup: Emergency Spill Kits are kept in the job shack
located near the rock crusher. Having this kit on site ensures a quick response and
clean up of any spill that occurs. Leaking vehicles will be taken out of service
inunediately and drip pans, absorbents or indoor storage will be utilized until the
leak is fixed. Additionally an emergency response vehicle is on call 24hours a
day to respond to any major spill or leak. All employees are trained on spill
prevention and clean up.
• Employee Training: All employees are trained on proper material handling, and
spill prevention and clean up within their first two weeks of hire and at least once
annually. These training courses prevent unnecessary spills and increase response
time.
• Recycling Practices: Comeback concrete is poured and hardened in a lined
containment area. Water is managed such that it is not able to discharge from the
recycled area.
• Emergency Spill Control Plan: An emergency spill control plan has been
prepared and implemented at the Black River site. This plan addresses potential
spill areas, cleanup procedures, and emergency contacts. All employees are
trained in emergency spill response in order to ensure a reduction in response
time.
Structural BMPs: Structural BMPs are physical devices or technologies that remove or
reduce pollution or contaminants in stonnwater. At Stoneway Rock and Recycle Black
River, secondary containment, sloped surfaces, containment, and sediment vault BMPs in
order are used to achieve contaminant reductions.
• Secondary Storage and Containment: All chemicals liquids, fluids, and petroleum
products at Black River must be stored on an impervious surface surrounded with
a containment berm or dike that is capable of containing 10% of the total enclosed
tank volume or 110% of the volume contained in the largest tank, whichever is
greater. Precipitation must be prevented from accumulating in containment areas
with a roof or equivalent structure. Water that accumulates in this area is pumped
out using a vacuum truck and is reused in the concrete production process.
• Empty Containers: Empty containers must be fully drained capped and labeled.
The number of empty containers on site must be minimized.
• Drip Pans: Drip pans and absorbents must be used under leaky vehicles and
equipment or leaky equipment must be stored indoors where feasible. If vehicles
are leaking, operators shall make an effort to store the equipment on impervious
surfaces at Black River until the equipment can be repaired.
• Dumpsters: All dumpsters containing leachable materials shall be fitted with a lid
that must remain closed when not in use, or alternatively keep the dumpster under
cover.
• Truck Washout: Black River has a truck washout used to clean off trucks. Mixer
trucks, dump trucks and dump boxes all utilize this area to wash off potential
contaminants. All process water generated from these activities is conveyed to
the sediment vaults and discharged to the sanitary sewer system. This process
prevents contamination of waters of the state by containing all process water.
• Wheel Wash: All trucks leaving Black River must pass through a wheel wash.
The wheel wash is equipped with rumble strips in order to remove any dirt or
debris that may have accumulated on site. Water from the wheel wash is replaced
daily and is discharged to the sanitary sewer system. Additionally, a sweeper
truck will be utilized as necessary to control any remaining track out. When track
out is present the sweeper shall run at least once per day.
• Containment Vault: Black River's truck washout area and concrete batch plant
drain into a sediment vault. This vault helps prevent stormwater contamination
by preventing high pH water and sediment from discharging into waters of the
state. The vault has an overflow check that flows into the city sewer system if
necessary.
• Sloped Surfaces: All surfaces at Black River have been engineered to ensure that
stormwater and process water does not come into contact with each other. The
containment area is sloped such that all process water flows into a containment
vault.
• Containment Area: Containment areas prevent the runoff of contaminated water
into waters of the state. Black River has a containment area around its concrete
batch plant, and truck wash. This area conveys process water into the
containment vault were it is recycled.
• Uncured Concrete Storage: Store uncured concrete, any type of concrete solids
(does not include fully cured or recycled concrete), uncured asphalt paving
materials, cold mix asphalt on a bermed impervious surface. This includes
ecology blocks, septic tanks, jersey barriers and other cast concrete products.
Treat all stormwater that contacts these materials in a lined impoundment as the
permit considers it process water. Discharge of this water is subject to the
effluent limitations in permit condition S2 and must not cause a violation of water
quality standards.
• Battery Storage: Store lead acid batteries under cover.
Additional Source Control BMPs:
• Black River shall follow the Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington for a) fueling at dedicated stations; b) mobile fueling; c) loading and
unloading vehicles; d) storage ofliquid in above-ground tanks; e) dust control; f)
high use parking areas; g) storage or transfer of solid raw materials
Runoff Conveyance BMPs: Runoff Conveyance BMPs are used to prevent stormwater
from becoming laden with sediment by slowing the velocity of the drainage or by
preventing stormwater from contact with sediment.
• Containment Area: A containment area is used to prevent process water from
leaving the site. The area includes the truck washout, concrete batch plant and
wheel wash. All water in this area flows to the sediment vault where it is recycled
or discharged to the sewer system.
• Sediment Pond: A three tiered sediment pond is located at the southernmost
portion of Black River. The initial pond and largest pond has a hard rock bottom.
This pond is the primary sediment settling pond for the site. Water leaves this
pond to the south though an outfall pipe. In the second pond, the pH in the water
is corrected through the use of a CO2 sparge. Water leaving this pond travels
through a series of conveyance ditches and pipes until it reaches the final settling
pond located just south of the BNSF railroad tracks. Water from this site is
discharged through an outfall into Black River.
• Ditches: Black River uses a number of ditches and stormwater pipes throughout
the site in order to control the flow of storm water. Storm water is routed into these
conveyance ditches which carry the water to the sites sediment ponds. Ditches
allow Black River to reduce the amount of surface erosion by controlling the flow
rates and preventing contact with stockpiles.
• Check Dams: All ditches on site are equipped with multiple check dams. Check
dams help reduce the velocity of storm water flows, preventing sediment from
becoming laden in water and allowing sediment to settle out of storm water.
Treatment BMPs: Treatment BMPs are used to reduce pollutants and sediment in
storm water before it is discharged. The Black River site uses a containment vault,
sediment pond, wheel wash and a CO2 sparge to achieve this.
• Containment Vault: A containment vault is used at Black River in order to treat
process water. Stormwater and process water that falls within the containment
area is deposited into a containment vault. This water is separated from storm
water to reduce contaminants and alkaline water from being discharged into the
storm system. The sediment and water within this vault are treated and recycled
back into the concrete production cycle or discharged to sanitary sewer.
• Sediment Pond: All water that enters into the storm system is conveyed to a
sediment pond. Here sediments have the chance to settle out ofliquids reducing
the turbidity in stormwater discharges.
• Wheel Wash: All vehicles travel through a wheel wash before leaving Black
River. This reduces the potential for contaminants to be carried off site.
• CO2 Sparge: A CO2 sparge is located in the second sediment pond. The sparge
is used to control the pH of water being discharged to ground water and surface
water. The sparge system monitors daily pH levels and automatically adjusts high
pH when needed. Nonetheless, discharge to ground water is monitored daily.
Discharge to surface water is monitored daily when during discharge occurs.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site
(circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____ _
The 9.022 acre site can generally be described as flat, with some steep slopes along the
property boundary.
3
C:\Users\JBlais\Oesktop\Pointe Heron Takeoff\Ternporary UselSEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope on the project site is approximately 67%
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any
agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in
removing any of these soils.
The site soils generally consist of compacted sand, gravel and structural fill
material.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
No.
e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area
of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
There is no grading and filling proposed as part of this proposal. Materials associated with
construction material stockpiles will be placed, moved, spread, piled and/or removed throughout
the entire site area on an as needed basis. The location and size of the stockpiles will be
determined by market conditions.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Material storage stockpiles can create erosion issues depending on the gradation of the
material. However, the site has been designed such that all stormwater from the stockpile area is
routed to a sediment pond that allows any sediment within the storm water to settle out prior to
discharge. Additionally, stockpiles are constructed in such a way that the material from the
stockpiles will not erode away (through the use of berms, setbacks, compaction, track walking or
other construction techniques).
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Approximately 75% of the site area is currently covered (and will remain covered) with
impervious surfaces (packed gravel). The percentage will increase and decrease based on market
conditions.
4
C:\Users\JBlais\Desktop\Pointe Heron TakeoffiTemporary Use1SEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
As stated above, the site's stormwater is captured through a number of swales that lead
to a sediment pond. This pond allows any sediment to settle out prior to being discharged.
Additionally, discharges from the site are regulated by an Ecology Sand and Gravel General
Permit. Additionally, stockpiles will be constructed in such a way that erosion hazards will be
reduced.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction,
operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and
give approximate quantities if known.
The existing use (which is same as the proposed temporary use) does generate small
amounts of exhaust emissions from construction equipment and dump trucks utilized in
loading/unloading/transfer operations. Additionally, dust is occasionally generated during active
operations and from high winds, depending on the gradation and relative moisture of the
material(s) on site.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
None.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
During active operations, a water truck is utilized in order to reduce dust levels on an as
needed basis.
3. WATER
a. Surface Water:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including
year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
No.

description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site
plan.
No.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so,
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
No.
b. Ground Water:
1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If
so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities
withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No.
6
C:\Users\JB1ais10esktop\Po1nte Heron Takeoff\Temporary Use\SEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals.; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
N/A.
c. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow?
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Stormwater that hits the site either percolates into the ground or is
controlled through the onsite conveyance system. The system consists of a number of
drainage ditches that direct all stormwater to a neighboring stormwater pond (same
ownership). The pond allows stormwater to settle out prior to ground or surface water
discharge. All stormwater from the site is monitored and regulated under the Sand and
Gravel General Permit.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe.
There is the possibility of spills reaching stormwater or groundwater, if
they are not found/removed. This risk is extremely small as the site is monitored for
spills/leaks on a daily basis. Any spills are cleaned up immediately and any impacted soils
are removed. Additionally, a spill kit is located on the adjacent site and a spill response
team is on call 24 hours a day.
3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of
the site? If so, describe.
No.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage
pattern impacts, if any:
As stated above, stormwater is routed to a sediment pond where it is allowed to
settle out. Additionally, stormwater is monitored and controlled under an NPDES permit.
Impacts will not change/increase under the proposed use.

abuts and extends along much of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel's entire south boundary, and C)
noise from passing overhead aircraft and other off-site sources.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a
short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)?
Indicate what hours noise would come from the site.
No new impacts will be created.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
The existing operations already have measures in place to control noise impacts, these
include: A) highly visible signs are posted, stating "Do Not Slam Tailgates;" and B) Nighttime-

j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace?
None.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any:
N/A
I. L Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected
land uses and plans, if any:
None.
m. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with nearby agricultural and
forest lands of long-term commercial significance, if any:
N/A
9. HOUSING
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle,
or low-income housing.
None.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high,
middle, or low-income housing.
None.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
None.
10. AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the
principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
Existing stockpiles are as tall as 50 feet. Future material storage stockpiles will vary in
height but may be as tall as the existing piles.
13
C:\Users\JBlais\Desktop\Po1nte Heron Takeoff\Temporary Use\SEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
There will be no change in the views altered or obstructed. Currently there may be minor
impacts to the views of the adjacent apartment complex; however grades are such that the
apartment complex sits at a higher elevation than the subject property. This naturally mitigates
some of the view impacts and reduces the ability for the subject site to mitigate any visual
impacts through structural buffers.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
None. Historically, a landscape buffer was in place between the subject site and the
apartment complex to the North. This buffer was removed at the request of the then owner of
the apartment complex in order to create views for the apartments.
11. LIGHT AND GLARE
a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly
occur?
Material stockpiling does create some light and glare through headlights when operating
at night. There are no additional sources of light and glare.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views?
No.
c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal?
None.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any:
None.

C·\Users\JB1ais\Oesktop\Po1nte Heron Takeoff\Temporary Use\SEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity?
None.
b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe.
No.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation
opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any:
None.
13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any buildings, structures, or sites, located on or near the site that are over 45
years old listed in or eligible for listing in national, state, or local preservation registers
located on or near the site? If so, specifically describe.
No.
b. Are there any landmarks, features, or other evidence of Indian or historic use or
occupation? This may include human burials or old cemeteries. Is there any material
evidence, artifacts, or areas of cultural importance on or near the site? Please list any
professional studies conducted at the site to identify such resources.
No.
c. Describe the methods used to assess the potential impacts to cultural and historic
resources on or near the project site. Examples include consultation with tribes and the
department of archeology and historic preservation, archaeological surveys, historic
maps, GIS data, etc.
N/A
d. Proposed measures to avoid, minimize, or compensate for loss, changes to, and
disturbance to resources. Please include plans for the above and any permits that may be
required.
N/A

14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site or affected geographic area and
describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any.
During material stockpiling operations, all trucks and equipment will use the Black River
Quarry entrance and exit off of Monster Road SW. The entrance and exit is a stabilized
construction entrance and exit that includes an automatic wheel wash to avoid any tracking of
mud and dirt onto public roadways.
There is neither a specified route to access the entrance of the Black River Quarry, nor
does there reasonably need to be one. Monster Road SW is not in a heavily developed residential
area or in a dense business district where traffic congestion can be heavy. Based on the quantity
of materials generally stored on the site, it is unlikely that the project will produce any traffic
congestion getting to and from Monster Road. Trucks hauling stockpile material may be coming
from multiple, as-of-yet unknown locations, making the establishment of a haul rout for the
project site all the more unrealistic.
b. Is the site or affected geographic area currently served by public transit? If so, generally
describe. If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop?
There is a public transit stop located on SW Sunset Boulevard, about 1/2 mile from the
project site.
c. How many additional parking spaces would the completed project or non-project
proposal have? How many would the project or proposal eliminate?
None.
d. Will the proposal require any new or improvements to existing roads, streets, pedestrian,
bicycle or state transportation facilities, not including driveways? If so, generally describe
(indicate whether public or private).
No.
e. Will the project or proposal use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air
transportation? If so, generally describe.
No.
16
C:\Users\JBlais\Desktop\Pointe Heron Takeoff\Temporary Use\SEPA Checklist.doc 05/14
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project or
proposal? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur and what percentage of the
volume would be trucks (such as commercial and non-passenger vehicles). What data or
transportation models were used to make these estimates?
Vehicular trips will not change. Currently daily truck trips to the storage site vary from
zero to 50 commercial trucks. Peak volumes are generally between 7am and 10pm.
g. Will the proposal interfere with, affect or be affected by the movement of agricultural and
forest products on roads or streets in the area? If so, generally describe.
No.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
None.
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire
protection, police protection, public transit, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally
describe.
No.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.
None.
16. UTILITIES
a. Circle utilities currently available at the site:
electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system,
other ------
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service,
and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might
be needed.
None.
