1. Project Overview
Note: This project is vested to 2009 Surface Water Standards.
The proposed Sunset’s Edge (formerly Renton 701) Townhomes project is located at 701-707
Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, WA (tax lot 311990-0011 & -0010 & -0005). The existing parcel is
39,187 SF or 0.90 acres (per survey). Approximately 1,943 SF of right-of-way will be dedicated
along Sunset Boulevard and improved with minor widening, a planter strip and a sidewalk. The
Project Site basin area is 37,244 SF or 0.86 acres. Sunset Boulevard NE will be slightly widened
with the addition of curb, gutter, sidewalk and planter strip. The Sunset Boulevard basin area is
approximately 4,882 SF or 0.11 acres. The Site is bordered to the north by apartments, to the
east by Sunset Blvd NE, to the south and west by forested PSE right-of-way. The project will
access Sunset Blvd NE via a new private access drive extending west into the site.
The site was previously improved with a small building with a paved and gravel access drive.
Fill was also placed on the property to create a terraced area even with Sunset Boulevard. The
building has been removed; however, the pavement and gravel areas remain in an unmaintained
condition. The remainder of site is covered by trees, blackberry bushes, and grass. The USGS
Soil Map identifies site soils to be Alderwood gravelly sandy loam and Ragnar-Indianola soils
(Figure 1.4). Sanitary sewer exists along the western margin of the site. Water, and storm
drainage systems are located within the Sunset Blvd NE right-of-way. Runoff from the existing
Site generally sheet flows west through the PSE right-of-way and ultimately into the ditch and
pipe system along Interstate 405.
The project includes construction of 15 townhouse units in duplex to 5-plex configurations. A
new internal private road and sidewalk will provide access to the units. A storm drain will collect
runoff from the access drive, roof surfaces and some landscape areas. Sewer and water services
and dry utilities will be stubbed to the new units.
The site zoning allows for 75% impervious coverage, or 27,993 SF. The proposed impervious
coverage is 21,111 SF or about 57%. An additional 3,488 SF of impervious area is proposed in
the Sunset Boulevard NE right-of-way for a total new and replaced impervious area of 24,599
SF.
Included are Figures 1.1 – Technical Information Report Worksheet, 1.2 – Vicinity Map, 1.3 –
Soils Map. See Figures 4.1 and 4.2 for the Predeveloped and Postdeveloped Conditions basin
maps.

Renton 701 Townhomes DCI 15375
2. Preliminary Conditions and Requirements Summary
Following is a discussion of how the Project will conform to the Core and Special Requirements
of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Renton
Amendments.
King County Surface Water Design Manual Core Requirements:
1. Discharge at the Natural Location
Runoff will continue to flow to the west toward the PSE and I-405 right-of-way. After
detention, runoff will be discharged onto a rock pad. The 100-year peak discharge rate is less
than 0.2 CFS for both the predeveloped and postdeveloped condition; therefore, discharge
onto a rock pad is acceptable. Although City of Renton GIS shows the site and downstream
areas to by landslide and erosion hazard, project runoff will be discharged at a location where
downstream slopes are less than 15% for a distance of at least 50 feet, which is not an erosion
or landslide hazard area by definition. Some landscape/vegetated areas will continue to sheet
flow to the west. See also the Minimal Risk and Plan Review Letter by the Migizi Group,
Project P970-T17, revised 7/12/17.
2. Offsite Analysis
A Level 1 offsite analysis has been performed for this project. See Section 3 for more
information.
3. Flow Control
The Site is within Renton’s Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area. A detentions tank is
proposed to control the peak discharge rates to match the existing conditions for the 2-, 10-,
and 100-year storm events. Onsite stormwater management BMPs are proposed in the form
of Permeable Pavers. See Section 4 for more information. A Flow Control BMP covenant
will be required prior to permit issuance.
4. Conveyance System
Conveyance will consist of roof drain collectors and 12-inch pipes. Renton’s conveyance
standard is 6 inches of freeboard at the 25-year storm event. Detailed analysis of the
conveyance system will be prepared at the final engineering/building permit stage.
5. Erosion and Sediment Control
Erosion and sediment control issues and plans will be addressed at the final engineering stage.
6. Maintenance and Operations
A Home Owners Association (HOA) will be responsible for maintenance of detention facility,
maintenance of water quality facility, and maintenance of flow control BMP permeable
pavers on the internal private access.
7. Financial Guarantees and Liability
The project owner will provide financial guarantees and liability insurance for construction
of the improvements.
13
Renton 701 Townhomes DCI 15375
8. Water Quality
Basic Water Quality treatment will be provided in the form of a Stormfilter. Pre-settling is
required. The project is attached single-family, which could be interpreted as multi-family.
However, a leachable metal restrictive covenant will be recorded, so that the Project will meet
Exception #4 of the Enhanced Basic Water Quality requirement. A nominal amount of New
PGIS (1,670 SF) associated with the frontage improvements will remain untreated. This
small amount of target surface is the pavement widening along the margin of Sunset
Boulevard NE. This is public runoff at the high side of the project. For operation,
maintenance and liability reasons, it is undesirable to route this public runoff into the project’s
treatment and detention system. Due to topographic constraints, runoff would need to be
pumped into or out of a treatment facility. Topography and/or space limitations preclude
treatment with filter strip, biofiltration, or a linear sand filter. A treatment trade is not feasible
since 100% of the onsite PGIS runoff will be treated. The untreated target PGIS is well below
5,000 SF. This small bypass meets the criteria of Section 1.2.8.2.D of the City of Renton
Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM.
King County Surface Water Design Manual Special Requirements:
(w/City of Renton Amendment)
1. Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements
No Area-Specific Requirements have been identified.
2. Flood Hazard Area Delineation
This site does not contain and is not adjacent to a flood hazard area; therefore, this requirement
does not apply.
3. Flood Protection Facilities
This project does not rely on and does not propose to modify or construct a flood protection
facility; therefore, this requirement does not apply.
4. Source Control
A detailed Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (CSWPPP), including
appropriate source controls for site development activity is included in Section 8 of this
report.
5. Oil Control
This project is not a high use site; therefore, this requirement does not apply.
6. Aquifer Protection Area
Per Reference 11-B of the City of Renton Amendment, this project site is not within and
Aquifer Protection Area.

3. Offsite Analysis
Task 1 - Study Area Definition & Maps
The study area is defined as the upstream contributing area located west of the Site and the
downstream area extending 1 mile from the Project Site.
Task 2 - Resource Review
1. Adopted Basin Plan, Basin Reconnaissance Summary Reports
No special basin plan requirements were identified through the pre-application process.
2. FEMA Maps
The Site is entirely within Zone X. The FEMA map did not reveal any problems.
3. Offsite Analysis Reports Finalized Drainage Studies
No other offsite analyses were reviewed.
4. Sensitive Area Folio
The Site has been identified as an Erosion Hazard and Landslide Area by City of Renton GIS,
based on the much of the site slopes exceeding 15%. A steep slope exists along the western
margin of the site; however, this was created by past filling activity. This slope is proposed
to be reduced to 15 feet or less in height so as to not be a regulated slope. Project runoff will
be discharged at a location where downstream slopes are less than 15% for a distance of at
least 50 feet.
5. Drainage Complaints and Studies
No downstream complaints have been identified for this Site.
6. Road Drainage Problems
None noted.
7. King County Soils Survey
The USGS Soil Map identifies site soils to be Alderwood gravelly sandy loam and Ragnar-
Indianola soils (Figure 1.4). The soil map did not identify any drainage related problems.
8. Wetlands Inventory
N/A
9. Migrating River Studies
No channel migration hazard areas are within the study area.
10. WSDOE Clean Water Act Section 303d
WSDOE Water Quality Assessment for Washington map was accessed on 10/25/16. The
map indicate that John’s Creek, approximately ¼ mile downstream from the Site, is impaired
for temperature, bacteria and dissolved oxygen. No mitigation is required at this time.
16
Renton 701 Townhomes DCI 15375
11. King County Designated Water Quality Problems
There are no King County identified water quality problems listed in the 2009 KCSWDM
Reference Section 10 posted on King County's Surface Water Design Manual website.
12. Stormwater Compliance Plans
N/A
Task 3 - Field Reconnaissance
A field reconnaissance was conducted on November 19, 2015, (weather conditions were partly
cloudy and dry). No evidence of flooding or erosion problems were observed. The upstream
runoff is intercepted by a private drainage system to the north and Sunset Boulevard to the east.
The resource review did not identify any conditions that warranted extended field review beyond
a ¼ mile downstream.
Task 4 - Drainage System Description And Problem Screening
See Figure 3.1 – Offsite Analysis Map
Runoff exists the property and flows northwest through PSE right-of-way down a well vegetated
slope of less than 15% for at least 50 feet. Runoff continues west for another 200 feet through
the PSE and I-405 rights-a-way consisting of well vegetated natural and constructed slopes. At
the toe of the I-405 right-of-way cut embankment, runoff enters the stormwater conveyance
system in Interstate 405. Safety concerns precluded direct inspection of the I405 conveyance
system; however Renton GIS runoff is conveyed north in a pipe system for approximately 950
feet, near the vicinity of where John’s Creek is conveyed under I-405. The I-405 piped
conveyance system appears to turn west at this location and convey runoff down the west slope
of the right-of-way and combine with the piped flow of John’s Creek. This point of combination
is at or beyond the ¼ mile downstream point from the Site.
Task 5 – Mitigation of Existing or Potential Problems
The project will provide Peak Rate Flow Control. No problems were identified that would
warrant a higher level of flow control or additional mitigation.
It is Duncanson Company’s opinion from the available information that the developed Site will
not create or aggravate any downstream problems.

Part A – Existing Site Hydrology
The Site has been previously graded and filled, and was historically developed with a small
building. Asphalt and crushed rock surfacing remain in the central, eastern portion of the site.
Current aerial photography shows weeds and grass beginning to re-establish in previous
parking/impervious areas. The brush line delineation is based on a noticeable difference in
maturity and density of vegetation at the time of our survey in 2015. Between 1945 and 2010,
the site contained a building and parking lot. Aerial imagery from 1977, 1980 and 2007 confirm
the “existing conditions” impervious area are similar to that shown on Figure 4.1. If the
previously existing building was included, the existing imperious area would most likely be more
than what is accounted for here. These surfaces were modeled in their existing condition as
impervious. A large portion of the Site is covered with brush, blackberries and only a few trees.
These areas were modeled as 50% pasture and 50% forested. The slope in the south and western
margin of the site is covered with small to medium size deciduous alder and maple trees. This
portion of the Site was modeled as forested. Site soils consist of fill underlain by till; therefore,
till soil conditions were assumed for stormwater modeling.
See Figure 4.1—Predeveloped Conditions for delineation of these areas. KCRTS input
parameters are tabulated below.

Part B – Developed Site Hydrology
Project development will result in the addition of 24,599 SF of new and/or replaced impervious
surface in the form of roof, patio, road, sidewalk and driveway. The remainder of the site was
modeled as landscaping (till grass). The western edge of the property (0.25 acre till grass) will
continue to sheet flow to the west and not be collected. Runoff from the Sunset Boulevard
improvements (0.11 acres) will also bypass the detention facility. These areas were modeled
separately so that the undetained bypass runoff could be combined with detention outflows for
the purpose of verifying downstream point of compliance. There is 0.06 acres of pervious pavers
on the site, however, no credit was applied for a slightly conservative design.

Part C – Performance Standards
The City of Renton specifies Peak Rate Flow Control and Basic Water Quality treatment as the
required performance standards for this Site. Covenant restricting use of leachable materials will
be recorded to allow basic water quality treatment instead of enhanced basic water quality
treatment.
Part D – Flow Control Systems
BMPs
Per the KCSWDM, the individual Site or Lots are required to have Flow Control BMPs. Full
Dispersal is not considered feasible due to lack of available flow paths. Due to fill and till soils
and slope considerations, infiltration was also deemed infeasible. Flow control BMPs are
proposed to take the form permeable pavers for the internal site walkways.
The individual lots sizes vary from 740 SF to 910 SF, which fall in the small lot category,
requiring mitigation of at least 10% of the Site/Lot areas. There are permeable pavers adjacent
to each lot. The sum of all the lot areas is 12,236 SF. There is approximately 2,447 SF of
permeable pavers proposed. This averages out to 20% of the Site/Lot areas, thereby satisfying
the BMP requirement. While the BMP requirement is satisfied, as a conservative measure, no
credit was taken for less impervious area in computing post developed runoff.
Flow Control Facility
A detention tank was selected to provide flow control. Multiple iterations of level pool routing
were run using KCRTS to find an acceptable configuration. An 100-foot long by 8-foot diameter
detention tank was found to achieve the required performance including combination of the
bypass runoff for downstream point of compliance. KCRTS detention sizing results are provided
below. Note, on the design plans the actual invert of the detention tank was lowered by 0.5 feet
to provide sediment storage, while holding the outlet invert to match these calculations. As seen
from the stage storage table below, this results in a loss of only 200 CF of storage. This is more
than compensated for by the much larger cross sectional area and volume gained by starting 0.5
feet above the pipe invert.

Next, 15-minute time step runoff files were generated for the Site and Bypass Basin for the
purposes of determining the peak release rate from the site for allowance of discharge onto a rock
pad. The 15-minute Site runoff file was routed through the above designed detention system and
the discharged was combined with the 15-minute Bypass basin. The result was a 100-year, 15-
minute peak discharge rate of 0.164 CFS, which is less than 0.2 CFS and within the allowance
for discharge onto a rock pad per Core Requirement #1. Detailed results are presented below:

Part E – Water Quality System
This site is in a Basic Water Quality area. A ZPG Stormfilter is proposed to provide water quality
treatment. The Stormfilter is located downstream of the detention system. Therefore the design
flow is the 2-year release rate from the facility, which is 0.037 CFS (16.65 GPM). An 18”
Stormfilter has a design flow rate of 7.5 GPM/Cartridge. Therefore, a 3-cartridge ZPG
Stormfilter is required. The plans include a note for the manufacturer to provide system specific
sizing calculations. Stormfilters require presettling, which is not provided by this detention
system. Therefore, a Vortechs presettling device is proposed. The Vortechs chamber is located
upstream of detention, therefore the water quality design flow rate is 60% of the developed 2-
year peak flow (15-minute), or 0.60x0.234 CFS = 0.14 CFS. A Vortechs Model 1000 has a design
flow rate of 0.55 CFS. An Adjustment is requested to use a Vortechs device for pre-treatment.
Vortechs are now approved by Renton for pre-treatment.
Note, the Sunset Boulevard NE frontage involves less than 2,000 SF of new PGIS and less than
4,000 SF of total PGIS; therefore, this area is exempt from a water quality treatment facility. An
elbow on the outlet of CB 7 is specified to provide oil/spill control

5. Conveyance System Analysis and Design
This site has a very basic conveyance system consisting of two catch basins and a pipe
conveying private road and roof runoff to the treatment and detention facilities. As a cursory
check, the 100-year peak flow from all site area was computed with KCRTS (15-minute time
series) with the following results.

Dear Mr. Notarangelo:
Migizi Group, Inc. (MGI) is pleased to submit this Revised Minimal Risk and Plan Review Letter
as it pertains to the proposed Sunset’s Edge Townhome improvements planned at 701 Sunset
Blvd NE in Renton, Washington. A Geotechnical Engineering Report was previously prepared
for the subject property by E3RA, Inc., dated April 16, 2015.
This letter has been prepared for the exclusive use of Totenham, LLC, and their consultants, for
specific application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical practice.
SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site consists of three separate, but adjacent, tax parcels on the west side of Sunset Blvd
NE, located directly northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St in Renton, Washington. The
subject property contains a frontage on Sunset Blvd NE of approximately 200 feet, and extends
west of the roadway ± 125 to 200 feet; encompassing just under one acre. Currently, the property
is undeveloped, with the only distinguishing site feature being a “U” shaped gravel driveway
which enters/exits Sunset Blvd NE along the east side of the site. Generally, the easternmost
two-thirds of the property is relatively level, containing a slight slope from east to west, no steeper
than 15 percent. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends
to the west at grades of 50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet.
Directly west of the subject property is a long, thin parcel owned by Puget Sound Energy, which
38
acts as a pathway for transmission towers which service the area. One such transmission tower
is in close proximity to the project area. Areas west of this parcel are steeply sloped, and descend
down to I-405. The western boundary of the site is approximately 200 feet east of I-405.
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the site and developing 15 townhouses
within its confines in 4 separate clusters. We understand that the townhouses will be three-story,
wood-framed structures. Paved driving and parking surfaces will also be incorporated into the
proposed development.
Landslide Hazard
The current City of Renton Landslide Hazard map indicates that the site is located in a “high”
hazard area. However, the April 16, 2015 geotechnical report states that the eastern two-thirds of
the site is relatively level and the western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope
which descends to the west at grades of 50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15
to 20 feet. The slope face itself is densely vegetated with thin conifers, blackberry bushes, and
other brush, and does not display any irregularities indicating slope failure, such as ancient or
recent landslide scarps, hummocks, slide blocks, or jack-strawed trees.
The report also indicates that subsurface explorations revealed relatively consistent subgrade
conditions across the site. The entirety of the site contains a surface mantle of sod, topsoil, or
gravel surfacing, typically no more than 6 inches thick. Underlying this material, a fill zone spans
much of the site, typically extending to 4½ feet below existing grade. The uppermost 3 feet of the
fill material is comprised of silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. From 3½ to 4½ feet
below existing grade, logs, woody debris and general refuse were incorporated into the fill
material. Native soils on site consist of glacial till deposited during the most recent glaciation of
the area; the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial till deposits observed in our
subsurface explorations were all moderately weathered and comprised of gravelly, silty sand in
a medium dense in-situ condition. Unweathered deposits are likely encountered with depth.
In the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County, Washington, as prepared by the
Department of the Interior United States Geological Survey (USGS) (1965), the project site is
mapped as containing Qgt, orVashon Glacial Till. These deposits are described as being a
generally compact, coherent, unsorted mixture of sand, silt, clay and gravel. The subsurface
explorations generally correspond with the mapping performed by the USGS.
Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the site is stable with respect to deep seated failure. In
our opinion, the proposed development is suitable for the site conditions.
Stormwater Discharge
We understand that stormwater runoff will be discharged onto slopes of 15 percent or less. Based
on the forgoing, it is our opinion that the discharge will not have a significant adverse effect on
slope stability provided that sufficient erosion control measures are constructed at the discharge
point.
39
Wet Season Construction
Based on the site explorations, it is our opinion that site grading during the “wet season” is
feasible at this site. In general, all grading performed during the “wet season” should comply
with the recommendations for site preparation presented in the April 16, 2015 geotechnical
report. This should also include:
• Daily inspections by a representative of MGI while grading activities are occurring
to confirm that the grading and project are in compliance with all conditions of the
permit;
• Submission of field reports by the MGI field representative at regular intervals
(e.g. weekly) documenting that the temporary erosion and sediment control plans
are in place and functioning as intended;
• Written field report documentation from the MGI representative after every
rainfall in excess of one-half (0.5) inch in a 24-hour period to confirm that the
grading and site soils remain in stable condition; and
• Weekly or bi-weekly follow up monitoring reports after grading is completed and
the site is stabilized, but before the geotechnical special inspector has submitted
the certification that final erosion control measures have been installed.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Minimal Risk
Upon review of the Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by E3RA, Inc. for the subject
property, MGI agrees with the evaluation and provisions contained in the report. In our opinion,
all portions of the site and adjacent properties that are disturbed or impacted by the proposed
development will be stable or stabilized during construction and will continue to be stable after
construction.
Plan Review
We reviewed Architectural Site Plan A1.1 dated May 3, 2017 prepared by Citizen Design, Civil
Plans C1.1-C1.7, C2.1-C2.2, and C3.1-C3.3 dated May 1, 2017 prepared by Duncanson Company,
and Structural Plans S1.0-S1.3, S2.0, S3.1-S3.4, S6.0-S6.1, and S9.0-S9.1 dated May 1, 2017 prepared
by CT Engineering. Sheets C1.1 and C1.5 were revised. Based on our review, we conclude that
the project plans have been prepared in general accordance with the geotechnical
recommendations presented in the April 16, 2015 Geotechnical Engineering Report.

Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Notarangelo:
E3RA, Inc. (E3RA) is pleased to submit this revised report describing the results of our geotechnical
engineering evaluation for the improvements planned at 701 Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, Washington.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Totenham, LLC and their consultants, for specific
application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice.
1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site consists of three separate, but adjacent tax parcels on the west side of Sunset Blvd NE, located
directly northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St in Renton, Washington, as shown on the enclosed
Topographic and Location Map (Figure 1). The subject property contains a frontage on Sunset Blvd NE of
approximately 200 feet, and extends west of the roadway ± 125 to 200 feet; encompassing just under one acre.
Currently, the property is undeveloped, with the only distinguishing site feature being a “U” shaped gravel
driveway which enters/exits Sunset Blvd NE along the east side of the site. Generally, the easternmost
two-thirds of the property is relatively level, containing a slight slope from east to west, no steeper than
15 percent. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends to the west at
grades of 50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet. Directly west of the subject
property is long, thin parcel owned by Puget Sound Energy, which acts as a pathway for transmission towers
which service the area. One such transmission tower is in close proximity to the project area. Areas west of
this parcel are steeply sloped, and descend down to I-405. The western boundary of the site is approximately
200 feet east of I-405.
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the site and developing 10 to 12 townhouses within its
confines. Preliminary discussions have the townhouses being three-story, wood-framed structures. Garages
will either be attached or detached, with no preliminary layouts available thus far. Paved driving and parking
surfaces will also be incorporated into the proposed development.

2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS
We previously explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on January 21, 2015. Our
exploration and evaluation program comprised the following elements:
• Surface reconnaissance of the site;
• Three test pits (designated TP-1 through TP-3), advanced on January 21, 2015; and
• A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature.
Table 1 summarizes the approximate functional locations and termination depths of our subsurface
explorations, and Figure 2 depicts their approximate relative locations. The following sections describe the
procedures used for excavation of test pits.

The specific number and locations of our explorations were selected in relation to the existing site features,
under the constraints of surface access, underground utility conflicts, and budget considerations.
It should be realized that the explorations performed and utilized for this evaluation reveal subsurface
conditions only at discrete locations across the project site and that actual conditions in other areas could vary.
Furthermore, the nature and extent of any such variations would not become evident until additional
explorations are performed or until construction activities have begun. If significant variations are observed
at that time, we may need to modify our conclusions and recommendations contained in this report to reflect
the actual site conditions.
2.1 Test Pit Procedures
Our exploratory test pits were excavated with a rubber-tracked mini-excavator operated by an excavation
contractor under subcontract to E3RA. A geotechnical engineer from our firm observed the test pit
excavations, collected soil samples, and logged the subsurface conditions.
The enclosed test pit logs indicate the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in each test pit,
based on our field classifications. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational or undulating, our logs
indicate the average contact depth. We estimated the relative density and consistency of the in-situ soils by
means of the excavation characteristics and the stability of the test pit sidewalls. Our logs also indicate the
approximate depths of any sidewall caving or groundwater seepage observed in the test pits. The soils were
classified visually in general accordance with the system described in Figure A-1, which includes a key to the
exploration logs. Summary logs of the explorations are included as Figures A-2 through A-4.

3.0 SITE CONDITIONS
The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations regarding,
surface, soil, groundwater, and infiltration conditions.
3.1 Surface Conditions
As previously described, the project site consists of three separate but adjacent tax parcels on the west side of
Sunset Blvd NE, located directly northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St, in Renton, Washington. It is
located on the outskirts of a larger residential development further to the east, and is positioned on the top of a
small ridgeline which runs north/south, forming the eastern boundary of I-405. The eastern two-thirds of the
site is relatively level, containing a slight slope (less than 15 percent) from east to west. This portion of the site
has limited vegetation, containing only a sparse grass cover and limited gravel surfacing along the “U” shaped
driveway. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends to the west at
grades of 50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet. The slope face itself is densely
vegetated with thin conifers, blackberry bushes, and other brush, and does not display any irregularities
indicating slope failure, such as ancient or recent landslide scarps, hummocks, slide blocks, or jack-strawed
trees. The adjacent property to the west is owned by Puget Sound Energy, and acts as a pathway for
transmission towers servicing the area. A narrow driveway to this property is located directly south of the
project site. The western boundary of the PSE property is marked by a chainlink fence, with areas west of this
mark being steeply sloped and directly descend down to I-405.
No hydrologic features were observed on site, such as seeps, springs, ponds and streams.
3.2 Soil Conditions
Our subsurface explorations revealed relatively consistent subgrade conditions across the site. The entirety of
the site contains a surface mantle of sod, topsoil, or gravel surfacing, typically no more than 6 inches thick.
Underlying this material, a fill zone spans much of the site, typically extending to 4½ feet below existing grade.
The uppermost 3 feet of the fill material is comprised of silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. From
3½ to 4½ feet below existing grade, logs, woody debris and general refuse were incorporated into the fill
material. Native soils on site consist of glacial till deposited during the most recent glaciation of the area; the
Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial till deposits observed in our subsurface explorations were all
moderately weathered and comprised of gravelly, silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. Unweathered
deposited are likely encountered with depth.
In the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County, Washington , as prepared by the Department of
the Interior United States Geological Survey (USGS) (1965), the project site is mapped as containing Qgt, or
Vashon Glacial Till. These deposits are described as being a generally compact, coherent, unsorted mixture of
sand, silt, clay and gravel. Our subsurface explorations generally correspond with the mapping performed by
the USGS.
The enclosed exploration logs (Appendix A) provide a detailed description of the soil strata encountered in
our subsurface explorations.
3.3 Groundwater Conditions
At the time of our reconnaissance and subsurface explorations (January 21, 2015), we did not encounter
groundwater seepage in any of our subsurface explorations which extended to a maximum depth of 7½ feet
below existing grade. Given the fact that our subsurface explorations were performed in what is generally
46
considered the wet season (December through April), we do not anticipate that groundwater levels will rise
higher than that which we observed, and we do not anticipate that groundwater will adversely impact the
proposed improvements.
3.4 Seismic Conditions
Based on our analysis of subsurface exploration logs and our review of published geologic maps, we interpret
the onsite soil conditions to generally correspond with site class D, as defined by Table 20.3-1 in ASCE 7, per
the 2012 International Building Code (IBC).
Using 2012 IBC information on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III seismic
parameters for the site are as follows:
Ss = 1.436 g SMS = 1.436 g SDS = 0.957 g
S1 = 0.539 g SM1 = 0.809 g SD1 = 0.539 g
Using the 2012 IBC information, MCER Response Spectrum Graph on the USGS Design Summary Report
website, Risk Category I/II/III, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 1.44 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.54g.
The Design Response Spectrum Graph from the same website, using the same IBC information and Risk
Category, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 0.96 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.54g.
3.5 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a sudden increase in pore water pressure and a sudden loss of soil shear strength caused by
shear strains, as could result from an earthquake. Research has shown that saturated, loose, fine to medium
sands with a fines (silt and clay) content less than about 20 percent are most susceptible to liquefaction. Our
subsurface explorations did not encounter any loose sand layers or lenses.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the site and developing 10 to 12 townhouses within its
confines. Preliminary discussions have the townhouses being three-story, wood-framed structures. Garages
will either be attached or detached, with no preliminary layouts yet available. Paved driving and parking
surfaces will also be incorporated into the proposed development. We offer these recommendations:
• Feasibility: Based on our field explorations, research, and evaluations, the proposed structure
and pavements appear feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
• Foundation Options: Given the fact that a zone of organic-laden fill material underlies the
site and could result in post-construction settlement if not removed, we recommend the over-
excavation of the building footprint down to native soils; a depth of approximately 4½ feet.
Foundation elements should be constructed on undisturbed native soils, or on structural fill
bearing pads that extend down to native soils. The thickness of structural fill bearing pads, if
used, is at the discretion of the developer. Recommendations for Spread Footings are
provided in Section 4.2.
• Floor Options: Floor sections should bear on medium dense or denser native soils or on
properly compacted structural fill that extends down to medium dense or denser native soil.
We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor subgrades to a minimum depth of
47
4½ feet. Slab-on-grade floors should either be constructed on undisturbed native soils or on
properly compacted structural fill as a floor subbase. If floor construction occurs during wet
conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbase
and native soils, will be necessary. Recommendations for slab-on-grade floors are included in
Section 4.3. Fill underlying floor slabs should be compacted to 95 percent (ASTM:D-1557).
• Pavement Sections: After removal of any organics underlying pavements, we recommend a
conventional pavement section comprised of an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed
rock base course over a properly prepared (compacted) subgrade or a granular subbase.
All soil subgrades should be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump
truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this
proof-rolling operation should be overexcavated to a depth of 12 inches and replaced with a
suitable structural fill material.
The following sections of this report present our specific geotechnical conclusions and recommendations
concerning site preparation, spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill. The
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications and Standard Plans cited
herein refer to WSDOT publications M41-10, Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction, and M21-01, Standard Plans for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction , respectively.
4.1 Site Preparation
Preparation of the project site should involve erosion control, temporary drainage, clearing, stripping,
excavations, cutting, subgrade compaction, and filling.
Erosion Control: Before new construction begins, an appropriate erosion control system should be installed.
This system should collect and filter all surface water runoff through silt fencing. We anticipate a system of
berms and drainage ditches around construction areas will provide an adequate collection system. Silt
fencing fabric should meet the requirements of WSDOT Standard Specification 9-33.2 Table 3. In addition,
silt fencing should embed a minimum of 6 inches below existing grade. An erosion control system requires
occasional observation and maintenance. Specifically, holes in the filter and areas where the filter has shifted
above ground surface should be replaced or repaired as soon as they are identified.
Temporary Drainage: We recommend intercepting and diverting any potential sources of surface or
near-surface water within the construction zones before stripping begins. Because the selection of an
appropriate drainage system will depend on the water quantity, season, weather conditions, construction
sequence, and contractor's methods, final decisions regarding drainage systems are best made in the field at the
time of construction. Based on our current understanding of the construction plans, surface and subsurface
conditions, we anticipate that curbs, berms, or ditches placed around the work areas will adequately intercept
surface water runoff.
Clearing and Stripping: After surface and near-surface water sources have been controlled, sod, topsoil, and
root-rich soil should be stripped from the site. Our explorations and field observations indicate that the topsoil
horizon is typically 6 inches or less in overall thickness. An organic ridden fill zone was encountered from 3½
to 4½ feet below existing grade, which will also need to be over-excavated within the proposed building
footprint. Stripping is best performed during a period of dry weather.
48
Site Excavations: Based on our explorations, we expect that excavations will encounter loose to medium dense
silty fill soils and weathered glacial till which can be easily excavated using standard excavation equipment.
Dewatering: Groundwater was not observed in any of our test pit explorations which extended to a maximum
depth of 7½ below existing grade. Given the fact that our test pit explorations were performed in what is
generally considered the rainy season, we do not anticipate that groundwater levels will rise higher than that
which we observed, nor do we anticipate that groundwater will adversely affect the proposed development. If
groundwater is encountered, we anticipate that an internal system of ditches, sumpholes, and pumps will be
adequate to temporarily dewater excavations.
Temporary Cut Slopes: All temporary soil slopes associated with site cutting or excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. Temporary cut slopes in site soils should be no steeper
than 1½H:1V, and should conform to Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) regulations.
Subgrade Compaction: Exposed subgrades for the foundations of the planned additions should be compacted
to a firm, unyielding state before new concrete or fill soils are placed. Any localized zones of looser granular
soils observed within a subgrade should be compacted to a density commensurate with the surrounding soils.
In contrast, any organic, soft, or pumping soils observed within a subgrade should be overexcavated and
replaced with a suitable structural fill material.
Site Filling: Our conclusions regarding the reuse of onsite soils and our comments regarding wet-weather
filling are presented subsequently. Regardless of soil type, all fill should be placed and compacted according
to our recommendations presented in the Structural Fill section of this report. Specifically, building pad fill
soil should be compacted to a uniform density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Onsite Soils: We offer the following evaluation of these onsite soils in relation to potential use as structural
fill:
• Surficial Organic Soil and Organic-Rich Fill Soils: Where encountered, surficial organic
soils, like duff, topsoil, root-rich soil, and organic-rich fill soils are not suitable for use as
structural fill under any circumstances, due to high organic content. Consequently, this
material can be used only for non-structural purposes, such as in landscaping areas.
• Silty Sand Fill Soils: Much of the site is overlain by 4 feet of fill material. This material
contains a high relative fines (percent silt/clay) content and should be considered extremely
moisture sensitive. Reuse of this soil type should be limited to summer months and moisture
conditioning should be anticipated.
• Glacial Till: This material type underlies much of the project site and is encountered with
depth. These soils are moisture sensitive and will be difficult to reuse during wet weather
conditions.
Permanent Slopes: All permanent cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term
raveling, sloughing, and erosion. We generally recommend that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H:1V.
For all soil types, the use of flatter slopes (such as 2½H:1V) would further reduce long-term erosion and
facilitate revegetation.
49
Slope Protection: We recommend that a permanent berm, swale, or curb be constructed along the top edge of
all permanent slopes to intercept surface flow. Also, a hardy vegetative groundcover should be established as
soon as feasible, to further protect the slopes from runoff water erosion. Alternatively, permanent slopes could
be armored with quarry spalls or a geosynthetic erosion mat.
4.2 Spread Footings
In our opinion, conventional spread footings will provide adequate support for the new additions if the
subgrades are properly prepared.
Footing Depths and Widths: For frost and erosion protection, the bases of all exterior footings should bear at
least 18 inches below adjacent outside grades, whereas the bases of interior footings need bear only 12 inches
below the surrounding slab surface level. To reduce post-construction settlements, continuous (wall) and
isolated (column) footings should be at least 18 and 24 inches wide, respectively.
Bearing Subgrades: Given the fact that a zone of organic-laden fill material underlies the site and could result
in post-construction settlement if not removed, we recommend the over-excavation of the building footprint
down to native soils; a depth of approximately 4½ feet. Foundation elements should be constructed on
undisturbed native soils, or on structural fill bearing pads that extend down native soils and compacted to a
density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). The thickness of structural fill bearing pads, if used,
is at the discretion of the developer. If foundation construction occurs during wet conditions, it is possible that
a geotextile fabric, placed between the bearing pad and native soils, will be necessary.
In general, before footing concrete is placed, any localized zones of loose soils exposed across the footing
subgrades should be compacted to a firm, unyielding condition, and any localized zones of soft, organic, or
debris-laden soils should be overexcavated and replaced with suitable structural fill.
Lateral Overexcavations: Because foundation stresses are transferred outward as well as downward into the
bearing soils, all structural fill placed under footings, should extend horizontally outward from the edge of each
footing. This horizontal distance should be equal to the depth of placed fill. Therefore, placed fill that extends
24 inches below the footing base should also extend 24 inches outward from the footing edges.
Subgrade Observation: All footing subgrades should consist of firm, unyielding, native soils, or structural fill
materials that have been compacted to a density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Footings
should never be cast atop loose, soft, or frozen soil, slough, debris, existing uncontrolled fill, or surfaces
covered by standing water.
Bearing Pressures: In our opinion, for static loading, footings that bear on a properly prepared subgrade, or
structural fill bearing pads can be designed for a preliminary allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. A
one-third increase in allowable soil bearing capacity may be used for short-term loads created by seismic or
wind related activities.
Footing Settlements: Assuming that structural fill soils are compacted to a medium dense or denser state, we
estimate that total post-construction settlements of properly designed footings bearing on properly prepared
subgrades will not exceed 1 inch. Differential settlements for comparably loaded elements may approach
one-half of the actual total settlement over horizontal distances of approximately 50 feet.
50
Footing Backfill: To provide erosion protection and lateral load resistance, we recommend that all footing
excavations be backfilled on both sides of the footings and stemwalls after the concrete has cured. Either
imported structural fill or non-organic onsite soils can be used for this purpose, contingent on suitable moisture
content at the time of placement. Regardless of soil type, all footing backfill soil should be compacted to a
density of at least 90 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Lateral Resistance: Footings that have been properly backfilled as recommended above will resist lateral
movements by means of passive earth pressure and base friction. We recommend using an allowable passive
earth pressure of 250 psf for and an allowable base friction coefficient of 0.35 for site soils.
4.3 Slab-On-Grade Floors
In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. We
offer the following comments and recommendations concerning slab-on-grade floors.
Floor Subbase: We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor subgrades to a minimum depth of 4 ½
feet. Slab-on-grade floors should either be constructed on undisturbed native soils or on properly compacted
structural fill as a floor subbase. If floor construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile
fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbase and native soils, will be necessary.
All subbase fill should be compacted to a density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Capillary Break and Vapor Barrier: To retard the upward wicking of moisture beneath the floor slab, we
recommend that a capillary break be placed over the 12 inch subbase. Ideally, this capillary break would
consist of a 4-inch-thick layer of pea gravel or other clean, uniform, well-rounded gravel, such as “Gravel
Backfill for Drains” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.12(4), but clean angular gravel can be used if it
adequately prevents capillary wicking. In addition, a layer of plastic sheeting (such as Crosstuff, Visqueen, or
Moistop) should be placed over the capillary break to serve as a vapor barrier. During subsequent casting of
the concrete slab, the contractor should exercise care to avoid puncturing this vapor barrier.
4.4 Asphalt Pavement
Since asphalt pavements will be used for the new driveway and parking areas, we offer the following
comments and recommendations for pavement design and construction.
Subgrade Preparation: After removal of any surficial sod, topsoil, or organic-rich fill, all soil subgrades should
be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized
zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to a
maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. All structural fill should be
compacted according to our recommendations given in the Structural Fill section. Specifically, the upper 2 feet
of soils underlying pavement section should be compacted to at least 95 percent (based on ASTM D-1557),
and all soils below 2 feet should be compacted to at least 90 percent.
Pavement Materials: For the base course, we recommend using imported crushed rock, such as "Crushed
Surfacing Top Course” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.9(3). If a subbase course is needed, we
recommend using imported, clean, well-graded sand and gravel such as “Ballast” or “Gravel Borrow” per
WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(1) and 9-03.14, respectively.
51
Conventional Asphalt Sections: A conventional pavement section typically comprises an asphalt concrete
pavement over a crushed rock base course. We recommend using the following conventional pavement
sections:
Minimum Thickness
Pavement Course Parking Areas Driveways
Asphalt Concrete Pavement 2 inches 3 inches
Crushed Rock Base 4 inches 6 inches
Granular Fill Subbase (if needed) 6 inches 8 inches
Compaction and Observation: All subbase and base course material should be compacted to at least 95 percent
of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557), and all asphalt concrete should be compacted
to at least 92 percent of the Rice value (ASTM D-2041). We recommend that an E3RA representative be
retained to observe the compaction of each course before any overlying layer is placed. For the subbase and
pavement course, compaction is best observed by means of frequent density testing. For the base course,
methodology observations and hand-probing are more appropriate than density testing.
Pavement Life and Maintenance: No asphalt pavement is maintenance-free. The above described pavement
sections present our minimum recommendations for an average level of performance during a 20-year design
life; therefore, an average level of maintenance will likely be required. Furthermore, a 20-year pavement life
typically assumes that an overlay will be placed after about 10 years. Thicker asphalt and/or thicker base and
subbase courses would offer better long-term performance, but would cost more initially; thinner courses
would be more susceptible to “alligator” cracking and other failure modes. As such, pavement design can be
considered a compromise between a high initial cost and low maintenance costs versus a low initial cost and
higher maintenance costs.
4.5 Structural Fill
The term "structural fill" refers to any material placed under foundations, retaining walls, slab-on-grade floors,
sidewalks, pavements, and other structures. Our comments, conclusions, and recommendations concerning
structural fill are presented in the following paragraphs.
Materials: Typical structural fill materials include clean sand, gravel, pea gravel, washed rock, crushed rock,
well-graded mixtures of sand and gravel (commonly called "gravel borrow" or "pit-run"), and miscellaneous
mixtures of silt, sand, and gravel. Recycled asphalt, concrete, and glass, which are derived from pulverizing
the parent materials, are also potentially useful as structural fill in certain applications. Soils used for structural
fill should not contain any organic matter or debris, nor any individual particles greater than about 6 inches in
diameter.
Fill Placement: Clean sand, gravel, crushed rock, soil mixtures, and recycled materials should be placed in
horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness, and each lift should be thoroughly compacted with a
mechanical compactor.
Compaction Criteria: Using the Modified Proctor test (ASTM:D-1557) as a standard, we recommend that
structural fill used for various onsite applications be compacted to the following minimum densities:
52
Fill Application Minimum
Compaction
Footing subgrade and bearing pad
Foundation backfill
Slab-on-grade floor subgrade and subbase
Asphalt pavement base
Asphalt pavement subgrade (upper 2 feet)
Asphalt pavement subgrade (below 2 feet)
95 percent
90 percent
95 percent
95 percent
95 percent
90 percent
Subgrade Observation and Compaction Testing: Regardless of material or location, all structural fill should be
placed over firm, unyielding subgrades prepared in accordance with the Site Preparation section of this report.
The condition of all subgrades should be observed by geotechnical personnel before filling or construction
begins. Also, fill soil compaction should be verified by means of in-place density tests performed during fill
placement so that adequacy of soil compaction efforts may be evaluated as earthwork progresses.
Soil Moisture Considerations: The suitability of soils used for structural fill depends primarily on their
grain-size distribution and moisture content when they are placed. As the "fines" content (that soil fraction
passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve) increases, soils become more sensitive to small changes in moisture content.
Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines (by weight) cannot be consistently compacted to a firm,
unyielding condition when the moisture content is more than 2 percentage points above or below optimum.
For fill placement during wet-weather site work, we recommend using "clean" fill, which refers to soils that
have a fines content of 5 percent or less (by weight) based on the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 Sieve.
5.0 RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements will depend largely on proper site
preparation, drainage, fill placement, and construction procedures, monitoring and testing by experienced
geotechnical personnel should be considered an integral part of the construction process. Consequently, we
recommend that E3RA be retained to provide the following post-report services:
• Review all construction plans and specifications to verify that our design criteria presented in
this report have been properly integrated into the design;
• Prepare a letter summarizing all review comments (if required);
• Check all completed subgrades for footings and slab-on-grade floors before concrete is
poured, in order to verify their bearing capacity;
• Prepare a post-construction letter summarizing all field observations, inspections, and test
results (if required); and

Part A – ESC Plan Analysis and Design
Core Requirement #5 stipulates nine minimum requirements be incorporated into project
construction to minimize erosion and limit sediment transport to drainage facilities, water
resources and adjacent properties. The following brief narrative discusses compliance with
each of the nine requirements:
Clearing Limits
Clearing limits have been delineated on the TESC plans.
Cover Measures
Cover measures have been addressed in the TESC plans.
Perimeter Protection
Perimeter protection will be used as Primary Treatment and will consist of silt fence (in
accordance with KCSWDM Appendix D, Section D.3.3.1). Fence location and installation has
been specified on the TESC plans.
Traffic Area Stabilization
A stabilized construction entrance will be used to limit sediment transport. It has been designed
in accordance with KCSWDM Appendix D, Section 3.4.1. The entrance location and details
are shown on the TESC Plans. Rock surfacing is shown for internal access, parking and staging
area stabilization.
Sediment Retention
The disturbed area is less than 1 acre. Therefore a sediment trap is proposed for sediment
retention. From the hydrologic analysis in Section 4, the 2-year peak flow is 0.234 CFS. Per
KCSWDM Section D3.5.1, the required surface area of the sediment trap is:
SA = 2,080 SF/CFS x 0.234 CFS = 490 SF.
Surface Water Collection
An interceptor dike/swale is proposed to collect site runoff around the downslope perimeter of
the site and convey it to the sediment trap. A pipe slope drain is proposed to convey runoff
from the upper portion of the site to the sediment trap located at the lower plateau.
65
Renton 701 Townhomes DCI 15375
Dewatering Control
When to Install: Dewatering control measures shall be used whenever there is a potential for
runoff from dewatering of utilities, excavations, foundations, etc.
Measures to install:
1. Foundation, vault, excavation, and trench dewatering water that has similar characteristics to
stormwater runoff at the site shall be discharged into a controlled conveyance system prior to
discharge to a sediment trap or sediment pond. Foundation and trench dewatering water that
has similar characteristics to stormwater runoff at the site must be disposed of through one
of the following options depending on site constraints:
a) Infiltration,
b) Transport offsite in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a
manner that does not pollute surface waters,
c) Discharge to the sanitary sewer discharge with approval from King County and the
City of Renton if there is no other option, or
d) Use of a sedimentation bag with outfall to a ditch or swale for small volumes of
localized dewatering.
2. Clean, non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-point ground water, may be discharged via
stable conveyance to systems tributary to surface waters, provided the dewatering flow does not
cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters.
3. Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water (high pH or other) shall be handled
separately from stormwater. See Section D.2.2 , SWPPS Measures.
Part B – SWPPS Plan Design
The following brief narrative discusses compliance with the minimum pollution-generating
activities typically associated with construction as required for the SWPPS plan:
Storage and Handling of Liquids
Paints, solvents, pesticides, form oils and concrete admixtures are anticipated but shall be kept
inside garage or under cover and out of elements. Application to comply with all local, state
and federal requirements and manufacturer recommendations.
Storage and Stockpiling of Construction Materials and Wastes
Storage and stockpiling of materials will occur on site. A stockpile location is located on the
TESC plans. A plastic covering detail and note is included in the plans(in accordance with
KCSWDM Appendix D, Section D.3.2.D) for covering soil stockpiles.
Fueling
Fueling is expected to be provided by service trucks. On-site storage of fuel is not anticipated.
A note is include on the plans specifying lighting if fueling will occur at night.
Maintenance, Repairs and Storage of Vehicles and Equipment
A note is included on the plans that specify the use of drip pans or plastic when maintenance is
performed.
66
Renton 701 Townhomes DCI 15375
Concrete Saw Cutting, Slurry and Washwater Disposal
A sump is shown on the plans for slurry and washwater disposal.
Handling of pH Elevated Water
Concrete flatwork including building and sidewalks will be less than 10,000 SF and runoff will
sheetflow to surrounding areas. Most concrete will be covered with roof within several months.
The size of exposed concrete surfaces and the duration of exposure are not anticipated to be
substantial enough to cause any significant pH change.
Application of Chemicals including Pesticides and Fertilizers
No pesticides are anticipated. Disturbed slopes are anticipated to be stabilized by hydroseeding.
No other fertilizer application is anticipated.
Source Controls
This project includes construction of a street, utilities, and street and asphalt shoulder widening.
Various types of source controls were considered; the following source controls shall be
implemented (refer to the King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual):
- A-8: Storage of Solid Waste and Food Waste
- A-13: Vehicle Washing and Steam Cleaning
- A-17: Fueling Operations
- A-18: Vehicle & Equipment Repair and Maintenance
- A-26: Landscaping Activities
- A-27: Clearing and Grading of Land for Small Construction Projects
- A-31: Vehicle and Equipment Parking and Storage
A note is included on the plans that specifies that the contractor shall develop a spill prevention
plan and maintain appropriate spill response supplies for any toxic or hazardous liquids stored
or used on site.

StormFilter Inspection and
Maintenance Procedures
ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS
100
In addition to these two activities, it is important to check
the condition of the StormFilter unit after major storms for
potential damage caused by high flows and for high sediment
accumulation that may be caused by localized erosion in the
drainage area. It may be necessary to adjust the inspection/
maintenance schedule depending on the actual operating
conditions encountered by the system. In general, inspection
activities can be conducted at any time, and maintenance should
occur, if warranted, during dryer months in late summer to early
fall.
Maintenance Frequency
The primary factor for determining frequency of maintenance for
the StormFilter is sediment loading.
A properly functioning system will remove solids from water by
trapping particulates in the porous structure of the filter media
inside the cartridges. The flow through the system will naturally
decrease as more and more particulates are trapped. Eventually
the flow through the cartridges will be low enough to require
replacement. It may be possible to extend the usable span of the
cartridges by removing sediment from upstream trapping devices
on a routine as-needed basis, in order to prevent material from
being re-suspended and discharged to the StormFilter treatment
system.
The average maintenance lifecycle is approximately 1-5 years.
Site conditions greatly influence maintenance requirements.
StormFilter units located in areas with erosion or active
construction may need to be inspected and maintained more
often than those with fully stabilized surface conditions.
Regulatory requirements or a chemical spill can shift maintenance
timing as well. The maintenance frequency may be adjusted as
additional monitoring information becomes available during the
inspection program. Areas that develop known problems should
be inspected more frequently than areas that demonstrate no
problems, particularly after major storms. Ultimately, inspection
and maintenance activities should be scheduled based on the
historic records and characteristics of an individual StormFilter
system or site. It is recommended that the site owner develop
a database to properly manage StormFilter inspection and
maintenance programs..
2 3
Maintenance Guidelines
The primary purpose of the Stormwater Management
StormFilter® is to filter and prevent pollutants from entering our
waterways. Like any effective filtration system, periodically these
pollutants must be removed to restore the StormFilter to its full
efficiency and effectiveness.
Maintenance requirements and frequency are dependent on the
pollutant load characteristics of each site. Maintenance activities
may be required in the event of a chemical spill or due to
excessive sediment loading from site erosion or extreme storms. It
is a good practice to inspect the system after major storm events.
Maintenance Procedures
Although there are many effective maintenance options, we
believe the following procedure to be efficient, using common
equipment and existing maintenance protocols. The following
two-step procedure is recommended::
1. Inspection
• Inspection of the vault interior to determine the need for
maintenance.
2. Maintenance
• Cartridge replacement
• Sediment removal
Inspection and Maintenance Timing
At least one scheduled inspection should take place per year with
maintenance following as warranted.
First, an inspection should be done before the winter season.
During the inspection the need for maintenance should be
determined and, if disposal during maintenance will be required,
samples of the accumulated sediments and media should be
obtained.
Second, if warranted, a maintenance (replacement of the filter
cartridges and removal of accumulated sediments) should be
performed during periods of dry weather.
101
2 3
Inspection Procedures
The primary goal of an inspection is to assess the condition of
the cartridges relative to the level of visual sediment loading as
it relates to decreased treatment capacity. It may be desirable to
conduct this inspection during a storm to observe the relative
flow through the filter cartridges. If the submerged cartridges
are severely plugged, then typically large amounts of sediments
will be present and very little flow will be discharged from the
drainage pipes. If this is the case, then maintenance is warranted
and the cartridges need to be replaced.
Warning: In the case of a spill, the worker should abort
inspection activities until the proper guidance is obtained.
Notify the local hazard control agency and Contech Engineered
Solutions immediately.
To conduct an inspection:
Important: Inspection should be performed by a person
who is familiar with the operation and configuration of the
StormFilter treatment unit.
1. If applicable, set up safety equipment to protect and notify
surrounding vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
2. Visually inspect the external condition of the unit and take
notes concerning defects/problems.
3. Open the access portals to the vault and allow the system
vent.
4. Without entering the vault, visually inspect the inside of the
unit, and note accumulations of liquids and solids.
5. Be sure to record the level of sediment build-up on the floor
of the vault, in the forebay, and on top of the cartridges. If
flow is occurring, note the flow of water per drainage pipe.
Record all observations. Digital pictures are valuable for
historical documentation.
6. Close and fasten the access portals.
7. Remove safety equipment.
8. If appropriate, make notes about the local drainage area
relative to ongoing construction, erosion problems, or high
loading of other materials to the system.
9. Discuss conditions that suggest maintenance and make
decision as to weather or not maintenance is needed.
Maintenance Decision Tree
The need for maintenance is typically based on results of the
inspection. The following Maintenance Decision Tree should be used as
a general guide. (Other factors, such as Regulatory Requirements, may
need to be considered)
1. Sediment loading on the vault floor.
a. If >4” of accumulated sediment, maintenance is
required.
2. Sediment loading on top of the cartridge.
a. If >1/4” of accumulation, maintenance is required.
3. Submerged cartridges.
a. If >4” of static water above cartridge bottom for more
than 24 hours after end of rain event, maintenance
is required. (Catch basins have standing water in the
cartridge bay.)
4. Plugged media.
a. If pore space between media granules is absent,
maintenance is required.
5. Bypass condition.
a. If inspection is conducted during an average rain fall
event and StormFilter remains in bypass condition
(water over the internal outlet baffle wall or submerged
cartridges), maintenance is required.
6. Hazardous material release.
a. If hazardous material release (automotive fluids or other)
is reported, maintenance is required.
7. Pronounced scum line.
a. If pronounced scum line (say ≥ 1/4” thick) is present
above top cap, maintenance is required.
102
Important: Care must be used to avoid damaging the
cartridges during removal and installation. The cost of
repairing components damaged during maintenance will be
the responsibility of the owner.
C. Set the used cartridge aside or load onto the hauling
truck.
D. Continue steps a through c until all cartridges have been
removed.
Method 2:
A. This activity will require that maintenance personnel enter
the vault to remove the cartridges from the under drain
manifold and place them under the vault opening for
lifting (removal). Disconnect each filter cartridge from the
underdrain connector by rotating counterclockwise 1/4 of
a turn. Roll the loose cartridge, on edge, to a convenient
spot beneath the vault access.
B. Unscrew the cartridge cap.
C. Remove the cartridge hood and float.
D. At location under structure access, tip the cartridge on its
side.
E. Empty the cartridge onto the vault floor. Reassemble the
empty cartridge.
F. Set the empty, used cartridge aside or load onto the
hauling truck.
G. Continue steps a through e until all cartridges have been
removed.
4 5
Maintenance
Depending on the configuration of the particular system,
maintenance personnel will be required to enter the vault to
perform the maintenance.
Important: If vault entry is required, OSHA rules for confined
space entry must be followed.
Filter cartridge replacement should occur during dry weather.
It may be necessary to plug the filter inlet pipe if base flows is
occurring.
Replacement cartridges can be delivered to the site or customers
facility. Information concerning how to obtain the replacement
cartridges is available from Contech Engineered Solutions.
Warning: In the case of a spill, the maintenance personnel
should abort maintenance activities until the proper guidance
is obtained. Notify the local hazard control agency and
Contech Engineered Solutions immediately.
To conduct cartridge replacement and sediment removal
maintenance:
1. If applicable, set up safety equipment to protect maintenance
personnel and pedestrians from site hazards.
2. Visually inspect the external condition of the unit and take
notes concerning defects/problems.
3. Open the doors (access portals) to the vault and allow the
system to vent.
4. Without entering the vault, give the inside of the unit,
including components, a general condition inspection.
5. Make notes about the external and internal condition of
the vault. Give particular attention to recording the level of
sediment build-up on the floor of the vault, in the forebay,
and on top of the internal components.
6. Using appropriate equipment offload the replacement
cartridges (up to 150 lbs. each) and set aside.
7. Remove used cartridges from the vault using one of the
following methods:
Method 1:
A. This activity will require that maintenance personnel enter
the vault to remove the cartridges from the under drain
manifold and place them under the vault opening for
lifting (removal). Disconnect each filter cartridge from the
underdrain connector by rotating counterclockwise 1/4 of
a turn. Roll the loose cartridge, on edge, to a convenient
spot beneath the vault access.
Using appropriate hoisting equipment, attach a cable
from the boom, crane, or tripod to the loose cartridge.
Contact Contech Engineered Solutions for suggested
attachment devices.
B. Remove the used cartridges (up to 250 lbs. each) from the
vault.
103
4 5
8. Remove accumulated sediment from the floor of the
vault and from the forebay. This can most effectively be
accomplished by use of a vacuum truck.
9. Once the sediments are removed, assess the condition of the
vault and the condition of the connectors.
10. Using the vacuum truck boom, crane, or tripod, lower and
install the new cartridges. Once again, take care not to
damage connections.
11. Close and fasten the door.
12. Remove safety equipment.
13. Finally, dispose of the accumulated materials in accordance
with applicable regulations. Make arrangements to return the
used empty cartridges to Contech Engineered Solutions.
Related Maintenance Activities -
Performed on an as-needed basis
StormFilter units are often just one of many structures in a more
comprehensive stormwater drainage and treatment system.
In order for maintenance of the StormFilter to be successful, it
is imperative that all other components be properly maintained.
The maintenance/repair of upstream facilities should be carried
out prior to StormFilter maintenance activities.
In addition to considering upstream facilities, it is also important
to correct any problems identified in the drainage area. Drainage
area concerns may include: erosion problems, heavy oil loading,
and discharges of inappropriate materials.
Material Disposal
The accumulated sediment found in stormwater treatment
and conveyance systems must be handled and disposed of in
accordance with regulatory protocols. It is possible for sediments
to contain measurable concentrations of heavy metals and
organic chemicals (such as pesticides and petroleum products).
Areas with the greatest potential for high pollutant loading
include industrial areas and heavily traveled roads.
Sediments and water must be disposed of in accordance with
all applicable waste disposal regulations. When scheduling
maintenance, consideration must be made for the disposal of
solid and liquid wastes. This typically requires coordination with
a local landfill for solid waste disposal. For liquid waste disposal
a number of options are available including a municipal vacuum
truck decant facility, local waste water treatment plant or on-site
treatment and discharge.

Vortechs® Guide
Operation, Design, Performance and Maintenance

Vortechs®
The Vortechs system is a high-performance hydrodynamic
separator that effectively removes finer sediment (e.g.
50-microns (µm), oil, and floating and sinking debris. The swirl
concentration operation and flow controls work together to
minimize turbulence and provide stable storage of captured
pollutants. Precast models can treat peak design flows up to
30-cfs (850-L/s); cast-in-place models handle even greater flows.
A typical system is sized to provide a specific removal efficiency
of a predefined particle size distribution (PSD).
Operation Overview
Stormwater enters the swirl chamber inducing a gentle swirling
flow pattern and enhancing gravitational separation. Sinking
pollutants stay in the swirl chamber while floatables are stopped
at the baffle wall. Vortechs systems are usually sized to efficiently
treat the frequently occurring runoff events and are primarily
controlled by the low flow control orifice. This orifice effectively
reduces inflow velocity and turbulence by inducing a slight
backwater that is appropriate to the site.
During larger storms, the water level rises above the low flow
control orifice and begins to flow through the high flow control.
Any layer of floating pollutants is elevated above the invert of
the Floatables Baffle Wall, preventing release. Swirling action
increases in relation to the storm intensity, while sediment pile
remains stable. When the storm drain is flowing at peak capacity,
the water surface in the system approaches the top of the high
flow control. The Vortechs system will be sized large enough so
that previously captured pollutants are retained in the system,
even during these infrequent events.
As a storm subsides, treated runoff decants out of the Vortechs
system at a controlled rate, restoring the water level to a dry-
weather level equal to the invert of the inlet pipe. The low water
level facilitates easier inspection and cleaning, and significantly
reduces maintenance costs by reducing pump-out volume.
Design Basics
Each Vortechs system is custom designed based on site size, site
runoff coefficient, regional precipitation intensity distribution,
and anticipated pollutant characteristics. There are two primary
methods of sizing a Vortechs system. The first is to determine
which model size provides the desired removal efficiency at a
given flow for a defined particle size or PSD. The second and
more in depth method is the summation of Rational Rainfall
Method™ which uses a summation process described below in
detail and is used when a specific removal efficiency of the net
annual sediment load is required.
Typically Vortechs systems are designed to achieve an 80% annual
solids load reduction based on lab generated performance curves
for either 50-µm particles, or a particle gradation found in typical
urban runoff (see performance section of this manual for more
information).
The Rational Rainfall Method™
Differences in local climate, topography and scale make every
site hydraulically unique. It is important to take these factors into
consideration when estimating the long-term performance of
any stormwater treatment system. The Rational Rainfall Method
combines site-specific information with laboratory generated
performance data, and local historical precipitation records to
estimate removal efficiencies as accurately as possible.
108
2 3
High Flow Control
The high flow control, or weir, is sized to pass the peak system
capacity minus the peak orifice flow when the water surface
elevation is at the top of the weir. This flow control is also a
Cippoletti type weir.
The weir flow control is sized by solving for the crest length and
head in the following equation:
Qweir = Cd •L• (h)3/2
Where:
Qweir = flow through weir, cfs (L/s)
Cd = Cippoletti weir coefficient = 3.37 (based on lab testing)
h = available head, ft (m) (height of weir)
L = design weir crest length, ft (m)
Bypass Calculations
In most all cases, pollutant removal goals can be met without
treating peak flow rates and it is most feasible to use a smaller
Vortechs system configured with an external bypass. In such
cases, a bypass design is recommended by Contech Engineered
Solutions for each off-line system. To calculate the bypass
capacity, first subtract the system’s treatment capacity from the
peak conveyance capacity of the collection system (minimum of
10-year recurrence interval). The result is the flow rate that must
be bypassed to avoid surcharging the Vortechs system. Then use
the following arrangement of the Francis formula to calculate the
depth of flow over the bypass weir.
H = (Qbypass /(Cd • L))2/3
Where:
H = depth of flow over bypass weir crest, ft (m)
Qbypass = required bypass flow, cfs (L/s)
Cd = discharge coefficient = 3.3 for rectangular weir
L = length of bypass weir crest, ft
The bypass weir crest elevation is then calculated to be the
elevation at the top of the Cippoletti weir minus the depth of
flow.
Hydraulic Capacity
In the event that the peak design flow from the site is exceeded,
it is important that the Vortechs system is not a constriction to
runoff leaving the site. Therefore, each system is designed with
enough hydraulic capacity to pass the 100-year flow rate. It is
important to note that at operating rates above 100-gpm/ft2
(68-Lps/m2) of the swirl chamber area (peak treatment capacity),
captured pollutants may be lost.
When the system is operating at peak hydraulic capacity, water
will be flowing through the gap over the top of the flow control
wall as well as the orifice and the weir.
Short duration rain gauge records from across the United States
and Canada were analyzed to determine the percent of the total
annual rainfall that fell at a range of intensities. US stations’
depths were totaled every 15 minutes or hourly and recorded in
0.01-inch increments. Depths were recorded hourly with 1-mm
resolution at Canadian stations. One trend was consistent at
all sites; the vast majority of precipitation fell at low intensities
and high intensity storms contributed relatively little to the total
annual depth.
These intensities, along with the total drainage area and runoff
coefficient for each specific site, are translated into flow rates
using the Rational Rainfall Method. Since most sites are relatively
small and highly impervious, the Rational Rainfall Method is
appropriate. Based on the runoff flow rates calculated for each
intensity, operating rates within a proposed Vortechs system are
determined. Performance efficiency curve determined from full
scale laboratory tests on defined sediment PSDs is applied to
calculate solids removal efficiency. The relative removal efficiency
at each operating rate is added to produce a net annual pollutant
removal efficiency estimate.
Once a system size is established, the internal elements of the
system are designed based on information provided by the site
engineer. Flow control sizes and shapes, sump depth, oil spill
storage capacity, sediment storage volume and inlet and outlet
orientation are determined for each system. In addition, bypass
weir calculations are made for off-line systems.
Flow Control Calculations
Low Flow Control
The low flow control, or orifice, is typically sized to submerge
the inlet pipe when the Vortechs system is operating at 20%
of its treatment capacity. The orifice is typically a Cippoletti
shaped aperture defined by its flat crest and sides which incline
outwardly at a slope of 1 horizontal to 4 vertical.
Qorfice = Cd • A • 2gh
Where:
Qorifice = flow through orifice, cfs (L/s)
Cd = orifice coefficient of discharge = 0.56 (based on lab tests)
A = orifice flow area, ft2 (m2) (calculated by orifice geometry)
h = design head, ft (m) (equal to the inlet pipe diameter)
g = acceleration due to gravity (32.2-ft/s2 (9.81-m/s2)
The minimum orifice crest length is 3-in (76-mm) and the
minimum orifice height is 4-in (102-mm). If flow must be
restricted beyond what can be provided by this size aperture,
a Fluidic-Amp™ HydroBrake flow control will be used. The
HydroBrake allows the minimum flow constriction to remain at
3-in (76-mm) or greater while further reducing flow due to its
unique throttling action.

Performance
Full Scale Laboratory Test Results
Laboratory testing was conducted on a full scale Vortechs model
2000. The 150-µm curve demonstrates the results of tests
using particles that passed through a 60-mesh sieve and were
retained on a 100-mesh sieve. The 50-µm curve is based on
tests of particles passing through a 200-mesh sieve and retained
on a 400-mesh sieve (38-µm). A gradation with an average
particle size (d50) of 80-µm, containing particles ranging from
38–500-µm in diameter was used to represent typical stormwater
solids. (Table 1)
As shown, the Vortechs system maintains positive total
suspended solids (TSS), defined by the tested gradations, removal
efficiencies over the full range of operating rates. This allows
the system to effectively treat all runoff from large, infrequent
design storms, as well as runoff from more frequent low-intensity
storms.
Typical Vortechs systems are designed to treat peak flows from
1.6-cfs (45-L/s) up to 30-cfs (850-L/s) online without the need
for bypass. However, external bypasses can be configured to
convey peak flows around the system if treatment capacity is
exceeded. The system can also be configured to direct low flows
from the last chamber of the system to polishing treatment
when more stringent water quality standards are imposed. In all
configurations, high removal efficiencies are achieved during the
lower intensity storms, which constitute the majority of annual
rainfall volume.

DeLorme Mapping Company
Yarmouth, ME
Contech Engineered Solutions
Prior to this premier field test of the Vortechs system, Contech
developed an extensive body of laboratory data to document
total suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency. Contech
performed this field study in order to compare the performance
predicted using laboratory data to the performance of a correctly
sized system in the field.
The study site was the headquarters of DeLorme Mapping
in Yarmouth, Maine. The building, driveway, parking lot and
ancillary facilities were constructed in 1996. A Vortechs model
11000 was installed to treat runoff from the 300-space, 4-acre
(1.62-ha) parking lot.
The main purpose of the DeLorme study was to verify that the
sizing methodology developed from our full-scale laboratory
testing was valid and an accurate means of predicting field
performance. The results of the study confirmed our sizing
methodology.

UCONN Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering
This study of the Vortechs system was published as a thesis by
Susan Mary Board, as part of the requirements for a Master of
Science degree from the University of Connecticut. Her objective
was to determine how well the Vortechs system retained
pollutants from parking lot runoff, including total suspended
solids (TSS), nutrients, metals, and petroleum hydrocarbons.
A Vortechs model 5000 was installed in 1998 to treat runoff
from the 82-space parking lot of Timothy Edwards Middle
School. The entire watershed was approximately 2 acres
(0.81 ha), and was 80% impervious.
Additionally, the Vortechs system was particularly effective in
removing zinc (85%), lead (46%), copper (56%), phosphorus
(67%) and nitrate (54%).
The study concluded that the Vortechs system significantly
reduced effluent concentrations of many pollutants in
stormwater runoff.

by stormwater to Lake George, Lake George Village, New York.
“Since the 1970s, when there was a rapid increase in the rate
and concentration of development along the southwestern
shores of Lake George, we have been concerned about the
impact of stormwater discharges into the lake,” said Tracy West,
co-author of the study.
The study concluded that the Village and Town of Lake George
should consider installing additional Vortechs systems in areas
where sedimentation and erosion have been identified as non-
point source pollution problems.

RTP Environmental Associates
This third party evaluation was performed under a U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency grant, administered by the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. A. Roger
Greenway, principal of RTP Environmental Associates, Inc.,
conducted the study in conjunction with Thonet Associates,
which assisted with data analysis and helped develop best
management practices (BMP) recommendations.
The Vortechs model 4000 was sized to handle a 100-year storm
from the 3 acre (1.21 ha) paved parking area at the Harding
Rest Stop, located off the northbound lane of I-287 in Harding
Township, New Jersey.
The study concluded that truck rest stops and similar parking
areas would benefit from installing stormwater treatment systems
to mitigate the water quality impacts associated with stormwater
runoff from these sites.

Maintenance
The Vortechs system should be inspected at regular intervals and
maintained when necessary to ensure optimum performance.
The rate at which the system collects pollutants will depend more
heavily on site activities than the size of the unit, e.g., unstable
soils or heavy winter sanding will cause the swirl chamber to fill
more quickly but regular sweeping will slow accumulation.
Inspection
Inspection is the key to effective maintenance and is easily
performed. Pollutant deposition and transport may vary from
year to year and regular inspections will help ensure that the
system is cleaned out at the appropriate time. Inspections should
be performed twice per year (i.e. spring and fall) however more
frequent inspections may be necessary in equipment washdown
areas and in climates where winter sanding operations may lead
to rapid accumulations. It is useful and often required as part of
a permit to keep a record of each inspection. A simple inspection
and maintenance log form for doing so is provided on the
following page, and is also available on conteches.com.
The Vortechs system should be cleaned when inspection reveals
that the sediment depth has accumulated to within 12 to 18
inches (300 to 450 mm) of the dry-weather water surface
elevation. This determination can be made by taking two
measurements with a stadia rod or similar measuring device;
one measurement from the manhole opening to the top of the
sediment pile and the other from the manhole opening to the
water surface. Note: To avoid underestimating the volume of
sediment in the chamber, the measuring device must be carefully
lowered to the top of the sediment pile. Finer, silty particles at the
top of the pile typically offer less resistance to the end of the rod
than larger particles toward the bottom of the pile.
Cleaning
Cleaning of the Vortechs system should be done during dry
weather conditions when no flow is entering the system. Clean-
out of the Vortechs system with a vacuum truck is generally the
most effective and convenient method of excavating pollutants
from the system. If such a truck is not available, a “clamshell”
grab may be used, but it is difficult to remove all accumulated
pollutants using a “clamshell”.
In installations where the risk of petroleum spills is small, liquid
contaminants may not accumulate as quickly as sediment.
However, an oil or gasoline spill should be cleaned out
immediately. Motor oil and other hydrocarbons that accumulate
on a more routine basis should be removed when an appreciable
layer has been captured. To remove these pollutants, it may be
preferable to use adsorbent pads to solidify the oil since these
pads are usually much easier to remove from the unit individually
and less expensive to dispose of than the oil/water emulsion that
may be created by vacuuming the oily layer. Floating trash can be
netted out if you wish to separate it from the other pollutants.
Cleaning of a Vortechs system is typically done by inserting
a vacuum hose into the swirl chamber and evacuating this
chamber of water and pollutants. As water is evacuated, the
water level outside of the swirl chamber will drop to a level
roughly equal to the crest of the lower aperture of the swirl
chamber.
Floating pollutants will decant into the swirl chamber as the
water level is drawn down. This allows most floating material to
be withdrawn from the same access point above the swirl
chamber. Floating material that does not decant into the swirl
chamber during draw down should be skimmed from the baffle
chamber. Sediment may accumulate outside the swirl chamber.
If this is the case, it may be necessary to pump out other
chambers. It is advisable to check for sediment accumulation in
all chambers during inspection and maintenance.
These maintenance recommendations apply to all Vortechs
systems with the following exceptions:
1.It is strongly recommended that when cleaning systems larger
than the Model 16000 the baffle chamber be drawn down
to depth of three feet prior to beginning clean-out of the
swirl chamber. Drawing down this chamber prior to the swirl
chamber reduces adverse structural forces pushing upstream
on the swirl chamber once that chamber is empty.
2.Entry into a Vortechs system is generally not required as
cleaning can be done from the ground surface. However,
if manned entry into a system is required the entire system
should be evacuated of water prior to entry regardless of the
system size.
Manhole covers should be securely seated following cleaning
activities to prevent leakage of runoff into the system from
above and also to ensure proper safety precautions. If anyone
physically enters the unit, Confined Space Entry procedures need
to be followed.
Disposal of all material removed from the Vortechs system should
be done in accordance with local regulations. In many locations,
disposal of evacuated sediments may be handled in the same
manner as disposal of sediments removed from catch basins or
deep sump manholes. Check your local regulations for specific
requirements on disposal.

Providers (CCMP’s) to provide maintenance on Vortechs systems.

1.The water depth to sediment is determined by taking two measurements with a stadia rod: one measurement from the manhole opening to the
top of the sediment pile and the other from the manhole opening to the water surface. If the difference between these measurements is less
than eighteen inches the system should be cleaned out. Note: To avoid underestimating the volume of sediment in the chamber, the measuring
device must be carefully lowered to the top of the sediment pile.
2.For optimum performance, the system should be cleaned out when the floating hydrocarbon layer accumulates to an appreciable thickness. In
the event of an oil spill, the system should be cleaned immediately.
