Concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer to the place of final deposit by methods which will prevent the separation or loss of the material. Equipment for chuting% pumping and pneumatically conveying concrete shall be of such size and design as to ensure a practically continuous flow of concrete at the delivery end without separation of the materials. Concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final posi- tion to avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing. The concreting shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and flows readily into the spaces between the bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or has been contaminated by foreign materials shall be deposited on the work, nor shall retempered concrete be used. When concreting is once started, it shall be carriuc n as a continuous operation until the placing of the panel or section is completeJ. The top surface shall generally be level. When construction joints are necessary, thr.y shall be made in accordance with the paragraph on "Construction Joints" of this section. All concrete, extent electrical duct encasement, shall be thoroughly com- pacted with mechanical vibrators during the operation of placing, and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement, embedded fixtures, and into the corners of the forms. Vibrators shall be operated by personnel experienced in this work, in a manner which will not permit the ingredients of the concrete to separate. i Concrete around electrical ducts shall be compacted and tamped by rod- ding without using mechanical vibrators, and as further specified in the Electrical Section of the specifications. Vibration shall not be continued in any one spot to the extent that ;cols of grout are formed. Care shall be taken to avoid disturbance of concrete which has become too stiff to regain plasticity when vibrated. Vibration shall not be applied directly to the steel which extends into partially hardened concrete. 405-4 SECTION 405 - PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE 405.05. CONSTRUCTION (C ,nrinued) When conditions make compacting difficult, or where the reinforcement is congested, batches of mortar containing the same proportion as specified here- tofore shall first be deposited in the forms. No concrete shall be deposited until Engineer has inspected the placing of the reinforcing steel and other embedded metal items, and has giver permission to place the concrete. All concrete placed in violation of this provision may be rejected. d. Curing. Provision shall be made for maintaining concrete in a moist condition for a period of at least seven days after the placement of the concrete, except for high-early-strength concretes, which shall be provided with moist cur- ing for at least the first three days. Surfaces shall be kept moist by being covered with burlap which is kept saturated or by being subject to a continuous fine water spray. Pigmented-curing compounds may be used in lieu of the above. e. Special Weather Requirements. Adequate equipment shall be provided for heating the concrete materials and protecting the concrete during freezing or near-freezing weather. No frozen materials containing ice shall be used. All concrete materials and all reinforcement, fo=ms, fillers, and ground with which the concrete is to come in contact shall be free from frost. Whenever the tem- perature of the surrounding air is below 40 degrees F. , all concrete placed in the forms shall have a temperature of between 70 degrees R. and 80 degrees F. , and adequate means shall be provided for maintaining a tempetature of not less than 70 degrees F. for three days, or 50 degrees F. for five days, except that when high-early-strength concrete is used, the temperature shall be maintained at not less than 70 degrees F. for two days, or 50 degrees F. for three days, or for as much more time as is necessary to ensure proper curing of the concrete. The housing, covering or other protection used in connection with curing shall remain intact and in place at least 24 hours after the artificial heating is discontinued. No dependence shall be placed on salt or other chemicals for the prevention of freezing. During hot weather, steps shall be taken to reduce concrete temperature and water evaporation by proper attention to ingredients, production methods, hand- ling, placing, protection, and curing. f. Forms, Construction and Removal. Forms shall conform to tr . 'e, lines, and dimensions of the members as called for on the drawings, and shall _ ,bstan- tial and sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of mortar. They shalt be prope. y braced or tied together so as to maintain position and shape. New plywood shall be used for forming exposed surfaces. Outside corners shall be chamfered. Forms shall be removed in such a manner as to ensure the complete safety of the structure. Where the structure as a whole is supported on shores, the re- movable floor forms, beams and girders sides, column and similar vertical forms may be removed after 24 hours, provided the concrete is sufficiently hard not to be injured thereby. In no case shall the supporting forms or shoring be removed until the members have acquired sufficient strength to safely support their weight and the load thereon. The results of suitable control tests may be used as evi- dence that the concrete has attained sufficient strength. 40 5-5 SECTION 405 - PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE 405.05. CONSTRUCTION (Continued) g. Reinforcement. At the time concrete is placed, metal reinforcement shall he free from rust scale or other coatings that will destroy or reduce the bond. Bends for stirrups and ties shall be made around a pin having a diameter not less than two times the minimum thickness of the bar. Hooks shall consist of either: (1) A complete s( w� -circ - turn with a radius of bend on the axis of the bar of not less than three and more than six bar diameters, plus an ex- tension of at least four bar diameters at the free end of the bar, or (2) A 90-degree bend having a radius of not less than four bar diameters plus an extension of twelve bar diameters. Bends for other bars shall be made around a pin having a diameter of not less than six times the minimum thickness of the bar, except that, for bars larger than one inch, the pin shall be not less than eight times the minimum thickness of the bar. All bars shail be bent cold. Metal reinforcement shall be accurately placed and adequately secured in position by concrete sir metal chairs or spacers. The minimum clear distance be- tween parallel bars shall be equal to the nominal diameter of the bars, except in columns. In no case shall. the clear distance between bars be less than one inch, nor less than 1-1/3 times the maximum size of the coarse aggregate. Where reinforcement in beams or girders is placed in two or more layers, the clear dis- tance between layers shall be not less than one inch, and the bars in the upper layers shall be placed directly above those in the bottom layer. When wire or other reinforcement not exceeding 1/4 inch in diameter is used as reinforcement :or slabs not exceeding 10 feet in span, the reinforcement may be curved from a point near the top of the slab over the support to a point near the bottom of the slab at midspan, provided that such reinforcement is either continuous over, or is securely anchored to the support. In slabs, beams and girders, splices of reinforcement at points of maxi- mum stress shall generally be avoided. Splices shall provide sufficient lap to transfer the stress between Fars by bond and shear. Where changes in the cross-section of a column occur, the longitudinal bars shall be offset in a region where lateral support is afforded. Where off- set, the slope of the inclined portion shall be not more than one in six and, in the case of tied columns, the ties shill be spaced not over three inches on centers for a distance of one foot below the actual point of offset. h. Concrete Protection for Reinforcement. The metal reinforcement shall be protected by the thickness of concrete indicated on the plans. Where not otherwise shown, the thickness of concrete over the reinforcement shall be as follows: 1. Where ccncrete is deposited against the ground without the use of forms, not less than three inches. i i 405-6 SECTION 405 - PU IN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE 405.05. CONSTRUCTION (Continued) 2. Where concrete is exposed to the weather or exposed to the ground, but is placed in forms, not less than two inches for bars more than 5/8 inch in diameter, and 1-1/2 inches for bars 5/8 inch or less in diameter. 3. In slabs and walls not exposed to the ground or to the weather, not less than 3/4 inch. ". In beams, girders and columns not exposed to the ,;round or to the weather, not less than 1-1/2 inches. 5. In all cases, the thickness of concrete over the reinforcement shall be at least equal to the diameter of round bars. When intended for bonding with future extensions, exposed reinforcement bars shall be protected from corrosion by concrete or other adequate covering. i. Construction Joints. Joints not indicated on the drawings shall be made and located so as to least impair the strength of the structure. Where a joi. t is to be made, the surface of the concrete shall be thoroughly cleaned and all laitance removed. All construction joints below final ground line shall have water stops. At least two hours must elapse between depositing concrete in the walls and depositing concrete in beams or slabs supported thereon. J. Finishing. All exposed horizontal concrete surfaces shall receive a wood-float finish. The concrete wall surfaces are not considered as exposed. If, after stripping of forms, any concrete is found to be not formed as shown on the drawings, is out of alignment or level, or shows a defective surface, it shall be considered as not conforming with the intent of these specifications and shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at his ex- pense unless the Engineer grants permission to patch the defective area, in which case patching shall be done as hereinafter described. Defects than require replacement or repair are those that consist of honeycomb, damage due to stripping forms, loose pieces of concrete surface holes caused by bolts and ties, excessive ridges at form joints, and bulges due to movement of the forms. Ridges and bulges shall be removed by chipping or tooling. Honeycomb and other defective concrete shall be chipped out. the chipped openings being sharp-edged and shaped so that the mortar filling will be keyed in place. All holes shall be thoroughly moistened for seve:al hours before mortar filling is placed. Imperfections, bolt and tie-rod holes, and chipped-out honeycomb areas to be repaired shall be filled with dry-patching mortar composed of one part Portland cement to two parts regular concrete sand (volume measurement) and just enough water so that, after the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, the mortar will stick together on being molded into a ball by slight pressure of the hands and will not exude free water. Mortar repairs shall be placed in thin layers and thoroughly compacted by suitable tools. Care shall be taken in filling rod and bolt holes so that the entire depth of the hole is completely filled with compacted mortar. 4 N 40 5-7 SECTION 405 - PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE 405.06.

The blockage was caused by an excessive foundry sand discharge from Pacific Car and Foundry Company. Further investigation rc-- vealed that the City of Renton has been e::perienring the problem for many years and apparently has accepted this condition by flushing the line approximately once a month. The City of Renton has perforrr-z�d this preventive maintenance prof.ably because the tort: 5th Street sewer line has a small diameter with ninimal grade. Metro cannot accept the excessive sand discharges. This type of obstruction is classified as prohibitive wastes as pf-)vided by Section 3-01. 02 of Metro Resolution 2310. The removal of sand at the point source will benefit in the operation of sewage treatment. Metro' s Renton Treatment Plant has a severe problem of disposing of its sand and grit material . At the present time the treatment plant is disposing of 49 tons per week , at a cost of $800. 00 fc transportation and burial fees at a land fill . Therefore, Metro requests that Pacific Car and Foundry Company comply with the following requirements : 6 Mr. Mel wick ' June 7 , 1976 Page Two 1. Test Program: Pacific Car and Foundry Company shall develop a testing program on the industrial sand clarifier effluent. Analyses shall be made for settleable solids consisting of three samples per shift. Craveyard shift could be excluded from this requirement because supposedly the flow is very minimal . The test program shall last for one month and the daily water consumption figures shall also be recorded. After the study has been completed, please notify me for review of the data . The test program shall be concluded by 9/l/78 . 2. Engineering Study: An engineering study shall then be performed to determine which type of pretreatment system will be required to meet a 2 mg/l settleable solid discharge limitation to the sewer system. The engineering study shall be completed by 2/1/79. 3. The entire pretreatment system shall ther be f constructed and operational by 10/l/79. 4 . All pretreatment facilities shall be approved by Metro prior to construction. Since the sewer line in North 5th Street has a small diameter (8 inches) and a minimal grade, .'�tro and the City of Renton desire that Pacific Car anu Foundry Company also construct a new line to the sewer located in North ` 5th Street. The advantage would be that this line is i9f larger (24 inches) and has a greater capacity for the wastes from Pacific Car and Foundry Company, thus eliminating any Enure blockages or flow problems. Mr. Dick Houghto, , City of Renton, stated that they would design, stake and inspect the new line if Pacific Car and Foundry Company would construct it. 0 i Mr. Mel Wick June 7, 1978 Page Three If you have any quesLions on Metro' s intent or compliance schedule, please contact this office at 447-6570.

Petersen: On 7 June 78, you wrote to Mel Wick concerning 'he waste sand protlem in the North 5th Street sewer line in Renton, Washington. We have investigated the protlem and plan to proceed on the basis of eliminating the existing wet sand wash system and replacing it ' with - ;y sand .raim system. The dry ,ysten will not discharge to nitary s item, thereby significantl3 reducing waste sand `.r. iortn bth ,reet sewer line. Effluent from the two roto- clones will be discharged in the existing manner. Tne Otto 4. Rosentretter Company, Bell Gardens, Califo-nia, has been engaged by Pacific Car and Foundry ompany to prepare the engineering design and installation drawings. A preliminary recommendation is expected during the first part of March, 1979. 1 review of toeir recommendations, final design and placement of purchase order is anticipated by June 1979. Based on current production ore rs, -elivery of the unit will be late 1979 or early 1980. Instellatiuc would then be planned for the first half of 198G, but may occur as late as August, 1980 during the yearly Foundry Maintenance shutdown. 1 Y Mr. Larry L.

A. R:4bins 1 Pacific Car a Foundry Company fft 1400 N. 4th Renton, Washington 0055 Dear Mr. Robbins: Review of your recent letter to State Water Pollution Control Indicates you are considering seeking connection to the 24- sewer line on N. 4tn Street for the clarl 'ler effluent in order to redreo the sanding problem on the N. 5th and N. Loth street sewer system, y 'ae have previously discussed aid aenled requests for connection to this 24 line due to the limited capacity of the 24' line to take addition&! sewage. This 24 ' sewer fine Is being utilized as a trunk for sewage effluent from the entire East Renton area. The area cosprises over 1 ,300 acres orinarlly residential In nature. Sorts sewage Is also admitted from the downtown area, including some from the clarifier unit at the present time. Our computations indicate the 24 , line at capacity would provide for 46,800 cubic feet per hour flow. Our calculations of the 1 ,017 acres using a population figure of 12 persons per acre, a design sewer requlre+wnt of 300 gailo.is per capita per day and using a minimal peak hour flow of 2 to, es the average hourly flow, we obtair a peak hour of 40,789 cu. ft . per hour. We hA.•e four North-South 8" sewer Imes crossing through manholes serving the 24' line without connection as the line Is already to.) close to capacity to consider additional connections. We would, under erergency conditions, (should Gre N. oth Street sewer fall prior to Its replacement by a larger trunk) connect the Borth bound runs presently existing Into the 24 ' line prlor to connecting additional services. Future solution will require installation of a sewer trunk on N. bth, which will take the volume of flow provided by Pacific Car S Foundry, and the N. Renton area directly to Metro at a grade adequate to provide for elimination or redur clan of the sand settlement now occur•'ng. We haw submitted for H.U.D. funding for 50% of the cost of N. bth Street 1 trunk sewer aid will probably obtain an answer on that funding in October nr 1 z. November of this year. :e ere maintlning a watch or the North oth sewer line, have reflushed the line with high velocity flusher within the last month and will probably do so again In the very near future to prevent the clogging of the s -,wer line and subsequent overflow to Cedar River. We zannot take the risk of sand blockln� the N. 4th Street 24" line nor ooss!ble fallore due tr overload. Therefore we would not Permit sand clarifier effluent Irate the "'. "tn Street trunk sewer.

Dear Mr. Dodd: This office has reviewed your letter of duly 2T, 1770 and the accompany- ing plan drawing for the subject project. A number of things are less tnan clear at the present time so perhaps you can clarify the follo"*ing. 1. This source of vastevt:er was not mentioned in Pac Car's I�LfIJ�� April let permit application, nor vas it sentione3 during a plant tour by myself and Mr. Caristiansen of this office last fall. Is the vaatewater source a new onet 2, What is the exact nature of the source of vaate cooling raters? 3. Do such cooling waters ^_arty any oils, testing chemicals such as 'Lyglo' , corrosion control chemicsl*. , solids or other contaminants? 4. Is the proposal that of disconnecting an existing sever die charge line and discharging to the ditch, or vice versa? As you know, Vic drainage ditch involv,d discharges to a small stream which enters hake Washington in a City of Renton Park. This stream ham considerable potential of udding or subtracting seethetic Values in the park. As such, and in view of water quality standards which include the small stream as Class AA waters, I can see no reason that a thermal dis- charge of 1500 F. should be allowed to enter these waters. Such die- charges should, in fact, be limited to 600 F. k - - NOR— ,TAiE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98501 2 - Letter - Harvey P Dodd i Associates, Inc.

Hinman Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle 410 West Harrison Street Seattle, Washington Dear Sir: The State Department of Ecology has requested that the discharge from this plant's steam cleaning operation be discharged to the sanitary sewer rather than the storm sewer as it is now. Enclosed is a copy of Mr. T.J. McCann's letter of January 26, 1973, which approves the plan we submitted. This 2isch^:ge will vary between 0 and 3.3 cubic feet per minute depending on operating level. As the area is outside, in addition to this, a maximum of 3.0 cubic feet per minute of rain water could be expected for a possible maximum of 6.3 cubic feet per minute. This would discharge to the new City of Renton sanitary sewer at 6th North and Garden Street, through our existing side sewer which ,)resently carries a sanitary sewerage flow of 5 cubic feet per minute. Does this plan meet with your approval? By copy of this letter, 1 am also asking Mr. Houghton of the City of Renton to approve this proposal.

As I Indicated to you, we wll: use this additional time to more thoroughly Investigate both the feasibility and cost of relocating our discharge point from the present 10 ' Renton sewer Ilae to the 24, sew-jr line located on North Fourth "onus. As you know, the discharge for this foundry effluent was originally Intended to be the 24 line, but late In the planning stage. the City of Renton requested that It be Installed In Its present position. Inasmuch as both the condition and the flow rate of this 10' sewer line are contributing factors to the settling of solids, we will review the matter of relocating to the original position with the City of Renton engineering people. Again, I thank you for rescheduling our reply to your letter of May 20th. If there are matters that need attention between now and that date, please feel free to contact me. '/ery truly yours W. A.

Since '4r. Poole stated that the discharge from the foundry presents no problem to the transmission and treatment of sewage within the Metro System, and since the ( ity of Renton has established an inspection procedure for the Sixth St. sewer condition and since they are awaiting delivery of a sewer flushing machine within 30 or 45 clays, there vill be no serious danger of repeatirg (ont'd. . .

T'reliminary work has been a-complished and an application for funding assistance has been made to li.11.' . which, if granted, would result in the Installation of a sewer which would have sufficient veloeity and fall to effectively traneport the Present foundry effluent from -ncifio or & Foundry's plant to the Metro System. 7t was agreed that if this system is re-)laced, it will obviate the need for Further treatment of the -)resent effluent by acific ae ,G "oundry. The reply to this request of f?.11.p. will not be forthcoming until anproximately November 1, 1970. (1) As an alternate to the above, the ' ity of R,�ntnn has nronosed that ;Lt .'). provide funding for e second link to the Metro System From the Sunset Ave. Nighlsnd, area of Renton. in the event that this grant is allowed, it will reduce the volume presently being carried by the North 4th St. 24" trunk link. . lbo reduction thus af'orded would permit the discharge of 'Iseific or & Foundry affluent into the North "th St. trunk line. Tie velocity and fall, of this trunk line is sufficient to ffe(.tivply transport "acifle ' or S Foundry's effluent to the Metro System. A reply to thin oroposed funding will be forthcoming at the same time, so.. proximately November 1, 1970. We appreciate your consideration in extending the program schedule to accomodate the further definition of the above. slternativea. To reiterate another portion of our discussion, it would be to the nd- ventage of all con(vrned if Pacific or & Foundry did not install and maintain a treatment plant for the separatlor of all settleable solids. The droner maintenance of such a system plus the periodic testing and monitoring w,nild be a e,ntinuinq sourc•p of concern and activity for the • ity of Renton, Metro risposal System and the State ')epnrtment of Ecology, an well as for pacific ( ar & Foundry n.

These checks have revealed that the subject sewers are again clogged to the point, that dry weather overflows are occurring on a fairly regular basis. As before, these overflows are resulting in gross sanitary and industrial pollution of the lower Cedar River. i 1 He agreed earlier that the foundry would be required to make further improvements to remove solids from their discharge in the event such cliggi.ig and overflowing again occurred. We realize that, the practice of flushing, by ;'ac Car, during periods of plant in-operation has not e riven an ideal test, as a result of delays in flushing apparatus installs '-nd that during the il._erim, some solids buildup o -curred in the subject sewers. We feel, nonetheless, that we %usL make additions requirements of this industry, and we have drafted to them a letter of this intent (copy directed to yourself). A time lapse, hoaever, of about one year will probably be necessary prior to improv Fonts being installed to eliminate this problem. in the interim, we strongly urge that you employ the City of Renton's resources to maintain the subject sewer lines . , prevent, at any rate, dry weather overflows. We understand that the subject ::ewered area is overloaded at present with domestic CiTv OF RENTOR RECEIVED MAY 251970 ENGINEERING DEPT. 8 • -._—_�_--- KEEL' WASHINGTON WATERS CLEAN ---------"-" i i Page Two City of Renton Bert Me Henry Re: Pacific Car & Foundry ay 21, 1970 i sewage. mould you please pr-asent this office with an estimate of the degree of overloading in this area.

Such observations have indicated that the Pacific Car. anJ Fomdry Company's black sand clarifier affluent is ywnerally well within the pre viously established limit of 10 ml/1 setteable solids after 15 minutes settll.ng. These same observationo have, however, rnvealed that the city ewer system is again dangerously clogged with black sand and is result- III itng in dry weather overflows of s+mltary and industrial wastes to the IIILLLJJJIfffuul ))I lover Cedar River. This rwcert.t clogging has occurrod in spite of con inuoum flushing efforts during poriode of plant inoperation, as per our ILruh 26th agreement. We do rraltso that tb.is flushing operation wee soswbat delayed due to necemeary pipinp. changes, and that some sand gathered in the sewers before such flushinp began, but it is muethe- less apparent that this i.s not an adequate solution to the problem at (1 f7 hand. \\ILyli/, This ewer clogging problem is avrwhat morn cempler tium we had fir9t anticipated. Apparently, the local swerata system is overloaied wirh wastes other than those from racific Car ana Foemdry Company, compound- ing the overflow problea. This office is promently contacting the City of Renton with tegard to sewer maintenance :end possible sewer cm�atrue- tion. The problem, hawevler, is an acute one, and the overflow pjllutiou of the low" -odor River grossly violates both health and water pollu- tion standards. , a result, this Commission fouls that ws most at this time require a euoetanital upgrading of Pacific Gat and foundry Company's black said clarifier treatment. The previous limit of 10 101/1 settleable solids after 15 minutes can no longer be accepted. , STATE OF WASHING WATER POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION 3700 ''EH AVENUE SOUTH. SUM H SEA c. WASHINGTON 98144 Page 2 Letter - B. T. Nelson Pacific Gar and foundry Company Sewer clogging, black sand clarifier effluent May 20, 1970 We feel that the necessary improvements to your existing treatment most remove all settleable solids from the black sand discharge. This may be done by the use of chemical flocculation, ".Improved treatment tank sizing, or other methods at your disposal, but in any .vs plans for the seee mast be submitted to and approved by this Commission prior to construe tion. In accordance with these requirements, the following tine schedule for completing the required trp►.vements has been established as follows. a. Contract uzecution for engineering services - 2nd quarter 1970 a. Completion and submittal of engineering report - 3rd quarter 197') c. Completion of construction plans and specifications - 4th quarter 1970 d. Facilities placed in operation 2nd quarter 1971. We realise that considerable time and azponse may be involved in accom pliahing the required waste treatment improvements. For this reason, ws cannot over-emphasize the importance of the Pacific Car and Foundry Company giving early attention to this matter. Is this regard we regmast that you advise this agency in wiltiag not later than June 10, 1970, of your con- currence with the described waste treatment requiramaocs and the oorteepomd- ing time aehedule.

Significant amounts of black- foundry sand were found in several manholes with accumulations from two to seven incites. As a result of sand deposition, a portion of the flow in the Sixth Avenue Nortti sanitary sewer between Park and Polly Streets was overflowing into the parallel 15-inch storm drain with outlet to the Cedax rivar. Discharge at the Cedar kiver outlet w,ts black, extremely turbid, with ;issue paper and other solids characteristic of raw savage. The City if i:enton Engineering L'epartment and the Washington Water PollutLon Control cornission were notified of this sewer system overflow. On the basis of Sur weekly sampling and analysis of the stand clarifier effluent discharge from Pacific Car t Foundry Company and corresponding observations made of the rapid solids buildup in the receiving sewer since early Ppril, it is our opinion additional pretreatment of your, wastes must tpe provided. In view of the present hydraulic deficiencies of the City of Renton sewer to adequately transport your industrial wastes at the pre- sent solids level to the X.etro trunk line, it is hereby requested that settleable solids (one hour settling) be effectively reduced to zero from the present 2 to 4 ml/l. Chemical trerta;ent by the addition of a polyaleetrolyt.o should be investigated as a possible method towarls i, t Mr. B. T.

Althougl, we und, ratand t,e proposal oy Pacific Car & Foundny for adding dilution water on a continucus basis for flusn-- ing the r3ceiving sowers was not implemented until late April, it is apparent from the rapid sewer clogging that the solias content of the foundry sand must be sunstan- tially reduced at this time to resolve the sewage overflow problenw.

It is quite possible the waste now enterinu the Cedar River is sand affluent that overflowed into the storm line and will take some time to clear. A check should be made on the Cedar River daily to determine extent of clearing. A meeting was set up with William Nelson, Ba6-4511 , at Pacific Car & Foundry for Thursday afternoon at 2:00 P .M.

Renton sewage Problem. Dear Mr. Nelson- On Lle.nesday, March '5, 1973, we were alerted to a sewer restrictir- in the North Renton sewer lines causing problems from ;he r.,anhole at 5th & Garden to a manhrle betaaeen Sth & mid-block between Garden acid Park, thence southerly to the �, inch sanitary trunk on 4th and northerly to the 12 inch sanitary line on 6th. Also from the first manhole east of Park on 6th to the Metro line at N. 6th and Burnett. Tne extF.nt ana stverity of the stoppage is still being determined. Initial indication showed sand accumulations in the lines which care from the sand clarifier waste at Pacific Car & Foundry. As our crews were unable to clear the lines by conventional methods anc after the meting with Mr. Robins and yourself on Thursday, March 26th attended by our Water Superintendent, job Puhich, Utility Fore-an Matt Kohl , and nyself, we obtained the use of a flusher nachine from the Ronald Sewer District. We understood frog the reeting . i Thursday that Pacific Car A Founury would provide us cost reii+urserent for the use of the machine. We :orvienced operations on Friday vuorning at i.00 A.M. attempting to clear the savic clogved lines. we were only able to clear tee line north between 4th and 5th just east of Park to a point approximately 10 feet suuth of the N . `.lth ;.,anhole. At the end of the day's operation the sand accumulation in the N. Sth :::arhole was so deep and dense that we could not locate the channel iaverts. On Monday we utilized the Street Department eductor to pump out manholes at N. 5th and immediately north of H. 5th. We atilizec the flusher truck on the N. &th line. The sand accumulation is such t'oat it is necessary to pump the sand out of manholes rather tear flush it throuoh the lines. It is readily apparent the extent r. amount of sand accumulation is such that the sanitary sewer lines are not capable of handling the sand volume and t z. iwarediate consideration must be given to other means of disposing of the sand clarifier waste, or alternative rieans of providing flushing to prevent sand restrictions. It is now apparent that the clogging is of a more severe nature than initially anticipated and that two days' flusher truck time gill not be sufficient to solve the problem. 4e suggest, in accordance with our telephone conversatiun Monday afternoon, that a meeting be set up between Metro kapmsentatives, your Company and repre- sentatives of the City of Renton to further explorepossible solutions to this problem. ?hank you for your assistance. fours very truly, 3NHc:Ind 3ert11.

T�asign metering facilities for sewage flows presently being discharged by Pacific C:ar and Foundry Company into the .enton sewerage system. 2. Providc engineering services as required to design facilities which will intercept sewage presently being discharged through septic tanks into the local storm drainage system. :Ieroute the intercepted wastes through metering devices to the ity of tentonls sanitary sewerage system. w It have been instructed by our client to expedite this work to the maxiinutn extent possible without detraction from engineering adequacy or from their objective of complying fully with applicable statutes, or- dinances and regulations of the several interested agencies. The results of field and office investigations already accomplished of- fer convincing evidence that the requirements of Item No. 1 above can be satisfactorily accomplished by teetering domestic water entering machine shop N,.. 1, and by rerouting the remaining sewage involved through a harsh: ll-flume measuring device. f a STEVENS 9THONiSON .sty of :\Onto- -2- 6/19/61 Delivery of equ nanent necessary to :oLuplete this installation ban been promised by th supplier on or before July 20, 1962, and is is envisioned that installation and calibration would proceed irnmediatsiy. .Accordingly it is presently indicated that measuremeat of flows, through existiag connections to the %enton sanitary sewer system, having not ,ore than 2% error, will be available not later than August 1, 1962. The results of field investigat.ons, ai►rveys and engineering studies cur- rently in progress in connection with work described under Item No. 2 above will be used to develop preliminary aesign of facilities, which will be necessary to off actively achieve the desired objectives. t+ue to the relatively complex nature of the problems involved, we will be unable to establish tentative completion schedules until an acceptable design con- cept and the approximate scope of construction work have been developed. It is anticipated, however, that preliminary design will h.ve pragressed to this extent by July 1. 1962. and means by which Item 2 objections are to be mat will be the subject of further correspondence at that time. n e are cognisant of the need for a basis of estimating total sewbge flows emanating from the plant until such tune that facilities for providing accurate tneasuretnent are installed. Pursuant to previous verbal agree- nients with your office and with the representatives of Metres, we concur that equitable estimates when required for reporting, billing and ■imilai uses can be developed during the interim period on the basis of 30 gal- lons per capita per 8 hour shift.
