II. CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
The 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual was utilized for this report per the
City of Renton requirements.
Core Requirement #1: Discharge at the Natural Location
The proposed development runoff will follow existing drainage patterns that flow west
towards the adjacent Ashburn Condominium project storm system. Refer to the
Downstream Analysis in Section III for a complete description of the existing drainage
path.
Core Requirement #2: Offsite Analysis
A Level 1 Downstream analysis has been completed for the site and no existing or
potential problems have been identified. This analysis is included in Section III of this TIR.
Core Requirement #3: Flow Control Facilities
Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the project site is located within the
duration flow control area. This means that the existing conditions must be modeled as
forested per Section 1.2.3.1.B of the City of Renton 2017 SWDM. Flow control facilities
were designed to match the predeveloped rates over the range of flows extending from
½ of the 2-year up the full 50-year flow. Flow shall not exceed predeveloped peak
discharge rates for the 2- and 10-year return periods. See Section IV of this TIR for a
detailed breakdown of proposed facilities and how they were modeled.
Core Requirement #4: Conveyance System
Conveyance systems were designed to fully comply with the requirements detailed in
Section 1.2.4.1 of the City of Renton 2017 SWDM. Full conveyance system analysis is
provided in Section V of this report.
Core Requirement #5: Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
A temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) plan provides details of BMPs to be
implemented during construction and is included in the engineering plan set. A SWPPP
has also been prepared by Encompass Engineering and Surveying and is included with this
submittal package.
Core Requirement #6: Maintenance and Operations
See Section X – Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Core Requirement #7: Financial Guarantees and Liability
The owner will arrange for any financial guarantees and liabilities required by the permit.
Bond quantity information is provided in Appendix C.
Core Requirement #8: Water Quality Facilities
In accordance with the King County Surface Water Design Manual, section 1.2.8.1.A.2,
Enhanced Basic water quality treatment is required for this project as the development
results in a multifamily land use. A treatment train comprised of an Oldcastle Biopod and
infiltration will provide water quality treatment. Further discussion of proposed water
quality system is included in Section IV of this report. See geotechnical studies in Appendix
A for additional information regarding infiltration rates.
8/15/19 Page 7
Core Requirement #9: Flow Control BMPs
This site is located within the UGA and is larger than 22,000 SF. It is therefore subject to
the Large Lot BMP Requirements detailed in Section 1.2.9.2.2 in the 2017 City of Renton
SWDM. On-site BMPs shall be applied in the following order, if feasible:
Full Dispersion, Full Infiltration, Limited Infiltration, Bioretention, Permeable Pavement,
Basic Dispersion, Reduced Impervious Surface Credit, Native Growth Retention Credit,
and finally, Tree Retention Credit. All flow control BMPs are designed to fully comply with
the specifications detailed in the 2017 City of Renton SWDM. See Section IV of this TIR for
complete Flow Control details.
Full Dispersion: Infeasible, a 100’ Native Vegetated Flowpath at less than 15% slope is not
available onsite.
Full Infiltration: Infeasible, Geotech Report states that Limited infiltration is feasible at
depths between 8’-13’ only.
Limited Infiltration: Feasible, Geotech Report states that Limited infiltration is feasible at
depths between 8’-13’ only.
Limited Infiltration is applied to the the runoff from the site area in the form of a
combination Detention/Infiltration Vault. This vault was sized to the specification detailed
in Appendix C.2.3.
Bioretention: Infeasible, there is little to no room for bioretention onsite and bioretention
relies on infiltration which is not feasible above 8’ depths.
Permeable Pavement: Infeasible per Geotech Report due to underlying glacial till soil.
Basic Dispersion: Feasible, but not for all impervious surfaces.
• Basic dispersion is not proposed for this site as limited infiltration will fully
serve the site’s needs.
Reduced Impervious Surface Credit: Infeasible, developed conditions propose to clear the
entire site.
Native Growth Retention Credit: Infeasible, there is not sufficient room for Native Growth
Retention areas onsite.
Tree Retention Credit: Infeasible, minimum canopy area requirements cannot be met.
Soil Amendment: Feasible, all disturbed, pervious areas of the project will meet soil
amendment requirements. This will be accomplished mostly by retaining the existing
topsoil in a stockpile onsite.

III. Level-1 Downstream Analysis
A Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis was performed October 12, 2018 at around 8:00 AM.
The weather was clear and roughly 60°. The site is developed with an existing single-family
residence, detached garage and paved driveway. The site is comprised of grasses, trees and
shrubs around the boundaries of the property. The eastern portion of the site slopes to the west
at 2-17%.
Task 1: The area of analysis extends downstream from the site to 1/4 mile downstream.
Task 2: Per King county resources, there have been no significant drainage complaints.
Task 3: There were no apparent downstream drainage issues.
Task 4: The site mostly sheet flows (A) west into a wooded tract, part of the adjacent Ashburn
Condominium project. There is an existing level spreader (B) of some sort constructed with the
Ashburn collecting and routing at least some of the flows into a 12” pipe system in Ashburn that
directs these flows around the detention vault constructed for the Ashburn project (E). This
bypass pipe (C) discharges into a wooded ravine (H) about 350’ downstream from the site. Flows
from the ravine cross under on the Ashburn streets through a 12” pipe (I), continuing west
through more wooded ravine (J) then into the SR-167 storm system (G), about ¼ mile
downstream from the site.
That portion of runoff from the site (A) that doesn’t drain into the bypass pipe mentioned above
drains past the existing level spreader (B) into a wooded area south of the site, then into an inlet
pipe (D), about 200’ west of the site. The flows drain though the 12” Ashburn pipe system about
¼ mile before discharging into a large underground detention vault (E). The vault discharges into
an overgrown bioswale F) draining south, then west towards the SR-167 storm system (G), a
distance of greater than ¼ mile downstream from the site.

IV. FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Target Area Swap and Mitigation Trade
Sections 1.2.8.C-D and 1.2.3.2.E-G of the 2017 RSWDM outline the requirements for bypass and
area swap mitigation for areas that can not be collected due to topographic limitations. There
are two such areas associated with this project.
1. Talbot Road frontage improvements south of the access intersection are topographically
disconnected from the drainage collection system. This area consists of 2,015 square feet
of asphalt and sidewalk and 770 square feet of landscaping. The access road to the project
is graded such that an additional 2,240 square feet of asphalt on Talbot Road SE will be
collected into the onsite stormwater system.
Section 1.2.3.2 G of the RSWDM:
G. MITIGATION TRADES
A project’s flow control facility may be designed to mitigate an existing developed
non-target surface area (either onsite or offsite) in trade for not mitigating part or
all of the project’s target surface area, provided that all of the following conditions
are met:
1. The existing developed non-target surface area (i.e., an area of existing
impervious surface and/or nonnative pervious surface) must have runoff
discharge characteristics (i.e., peak flow and volume) equivalent to those of
the target surface area for which mitigation is being traded and must not be
currently mitigated to the same flow control performance requirement as the
target surface area, AND
a. The extra asphalt collected has the same runoff as the target area.
2. Runoff from both the target surface area being traded and the flow control
facility must converge prior to discharge of the runoff from the target surface
area being traded onto private property without an easement or through any
area subject to erosion, AND
a. The runoff from the bypass area will be conveyed south in the flow
line of Talbot Road to S 50th Street, where it will be collected into the
public storm drain system and conveyed to the west, arriving
approximately 1,700 feet downstream of the project site at Lake Pl
South, where it joins the discharge from the developed project.
3. The net effect in terms of flow control at the point of convergence
downstream must be the same with or without the mitigation trade, AND
a. The traded areas will produce the same amount of runoff.
4. The undetained runoff from the target surface area being traded must not
create a significant adverse impact to downstream drainage systems, salmonid
habitat, or properties prior to convergence with runoff from the flow control
facility.
a. The runoff will be conveyed in the public storm drainage system.
8/15/19 Page 13
5. Consideration of an offsite area to be mitigated for must take into account the
likelihood of that area redeveloping in the future. Those areas determined by
the City to have a high likelihood of future redevelopment that will provide its
own mitigation may not be used as a mitigation trade.
a. The area mitigated for is a public right of way. Additional
development is not anticipated.
6. Mitigation trade proposals must be reviewed and approved with input from
the City of Renton
a. The mitigation proposal is presented here in the Technical
Information Report.
2. 387 square feet of the gravel access road in the southwest corner of the project is
topographically disconnected from the detention system.
Runoff from this area will sheet flow to the property boundary, follow the existing
sewer easement and be collected into a cb within 100 feet of the project. This
catch basin is connected to the discharge of the stormwater leaving the onsite
detention system. Given the negligible amount of runoff generated by 387 square
feet (0.0089 AC), the fact that it is connecting to an existing gravel area, this bypass
area will have a negligible effect on the downstream system. See Asbuilt exhibit
below.

Flow Control Calculations
Per the City of Renton Stormwater Management Manual, full dispersion and full infiltration must
be implemented if feasible. However, the native vegetative flow paths are limited within the
development area and the Alderwood soils are not conducive to full infiltration above the depth
of 8-feet. Below 8-feet deep, the soils become more conducive to infiltration, but full infiltration
is not supported by geotechnical engineering. Therefore, partial infiltration is being proposed for
all collected areas.
This stormwater management system for this project is designed to comply with the minimum
required performance for facilities in Flow Control Duration Standard Areas (Matching Forested)
as described in section 1.2.3.1.B of the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. Per
the requirements:
• Developed discharge durations shall not exceed predeveloped durations for the range of
predeveloped discharge rates from 50% of the 2-year peak flow up to the full 50-year
peak flow.
• Developed peak discharge rates shall not exceed predeveloped peak discharge rates for
the 2- and 10-year return periods.
• Assume forested (historical) site conditions as the predeveloped condition.
Runoff from all remaining, improved site areas will be routed to a combination detention /
infiltration vault for flow control. The detention/infiltration vault will release the stormwater at
a controlled rate similar to the existing conditions. The vault was designed for the site using
WWHM and provides 4.93 feet of active storage depth with a storage volume of 12,700 Cubic
Feet. See Appendix B – WWHM Modeling for full calculations and final engineering site plans for
dimensions and details.
This project proposes to implement the Soil Amendment On-Site BMP per the 2017 SWDM
Appendix C.2.13. Establishing a minimum soil quality and depth across the site will improve on-
site management of stormwater flow and water quality. Soil amendment is considered infeasible
on till soil slopes greater than 33 percent, of which there are none on the site. All landscaped
areas on site shall meet the minimum requirements for soil quality detailed in Appendix C.2.13
and are therefore modeled as half “Pasture” and half “Lawn” in WWHM as there are no restrictive
covenants protecting the areas. Details are included in the final engineering plan set and
modeling is attached in Appendix B.
Runoff Flow Rates Produced in WWHM
Full WWHM output is included in Appendix B of this TIR.
8/15/19 Page 15
Water Quality Calculations
The proposed pollution generating impervious surfaces (20,736 square feet) are greater than
the 5,000 SF threshold, therefore water quality treatment is required for this project. See area
breakdown and WWHM Analysis results below. Since the land use of the site will be multi-
family, enhanced basic water quality is required in accordance with 2017 RSWDM Section
1.2.8.1.A.2.
This project proposes to infiltrate runoff per the standards of Section 5.2 and therefore meets
exemption 1 in Section 1.2.8.1.B of the 2017 Renton SWDM. An underground Biopod by Oldcastle
Infrastructure is proposed to achieve the enhanced portion of the water quality requirements.
The design flow modeled by WWHM is 0.1785 cubic feet per second. The table shown on the
next page provides sizing requirements of the Biopod based on the design flow rate. At 0.1758
cfs, a Biopod of 6’ by 12’ is required.

Biopod Sizing Chart
See full bipod details in Appendix H
This project proposes a 6’ x 12’ underground Biopod by Oldcastle prior to infiltration to provide
Enhanced Basic water quality treatment. Since water quality is provided upstream of infiltration,
a settling tank is not proposed prior to infiltration. The Biopod Biofiltration device is a proprietary
filtration system that has not been specifically approved by the City of Renton, but has received
GULD certification from the Department of Ecology. A Stormwater Adjustment request is
included in Appendix H along with the Biopod details.
8/15/19 Page 18
V. CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The flow into the vault is 0.9723 CFS for the 100-year flow frequency return period as
shown below in the copied information provided by WWHM.
A 12” PVC pipe flowing at 0.5% Slope (minimum) has a capacity of 2.729 CFS. This is
sufficient to convey the most extreme design flows on the developed site. The pipe
capacity was calculated using manning’s equation built into an online Conveyance
Calculator (shown below).

MGI Project P1389-T18
Dear Mr. Schmeil:
Migizi Group, Inc. (MGI) is pleased to submit this revised report describing the results of our
geotechnical engineering evaluation of the proposed residential development in Renton,
Washington. It is our understanding that since our initial iteration of this report, the subject
property has changed hands, and that a new design scheme is being implemented. Additional soils
information is needed in order to execute the new design.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Sapphire Homes, 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 a 1.67-acre, residential parcel located immediately southwest of the
intersection between S 48th St and Talbot Rd S in Renton, Washington, as shown on the enclosed
Topographic and Location Map (Figure 1). The subject property is situated in a densely populated
residential area located towards the south end of the city limits of Renton. A single-family
residence, originally constructed in 1936, and accompanying detached garage and shed building
occupy the central portion of the site, with the northeast corner of the project area containing
extensive paved surfaces for overflow parking. The remainder of the parcel is occupied by tall
grasses, and various forms of vegetation.

Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 2 of 15
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the property, demolition of the existing
structures, and development of the site for residential purposes. The proposed development will
result in approximately 20 buildable lots and contain a primary access road which travels east-west
across the length of the property, following the general course of the existing driveway. A
supplemental alleyway will also be introduced as part of the proposed development, traveling
south from S 48th Street, spanning the full length of the property along this orientation. The
southwest corner of the subject property will be utilized as an Open Space / Tree Retention Tract,
and will also house stormwater retention facilities, if feasible.
2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS
We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on September 5, 2017, July 24,
2018, and March 15, 2019. Our exploration and evaluation program comprised the following
elements:
• Surface reconnaissance of the site;
• Eleven test pit explorations (designated TP-1 through TP-11) advanced on
September 5, 2017, July 24, 2018, March 15, 2019;
• Two grain-size analyses performed on soil samples collected from our subsurface
explorations;
• Two Small-Scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PIT) (designated INF-1 and INF-2)
performed in the vicinity of test pit explorations TP-7 and TP-11; 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 the 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 initial exploratory test pits were excavated with a rubber-tracked mini-excavator operated by
an excavation contractor under subcontract to MGI. Deeper explorations, advanced at later
mobilizations were excavated with a steel-tracked excavator/operator under subcontract with the
client. An engineering geologist 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 our
test pits, 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 our exploration logs. Summary logs of our
explorations are included as Figures A-2 through A-12.
2.2 Infiltration Test Procedures
In-situ field infiltration testing was performed for determination of a Design Infiltration Rate in
general accordance with the Small-Scale PIT procedures, as described in Reference 6A, of the 2016
King County Surface Water Design Manual, as adopted by the City of Renton. The first step of this
test procedure was to identify a suitable soil stratum for stormwater retention, and once completed,
perform an excavation within this soil group with a minimum surface area of 12 square feet (sf).
Once the excavation was completed, a vertical measuring rod marked in half-inch increments was
installed towards the center of the test area. Water was then introduced into the test area, being
conveyed through a 4-inch corrugated pipe to a splash block at the bottom of the excavation. Once
12 inches of water was developed at the bottom of the excavation, the test surface was saturated
prior to testing. After the saturation period was completed, a steady state flow rate was developed
in order to maintain 12 inches of head at the bottom of the test surface. This steady state rate was
maintained for one hour. After completion of the steady state period, water was no longer
introduced into the excavation, and infiltration of the existing water was allowed. We recorded the
falling head rate for one hour, for comparison with the steady state rate.

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 indicated, the project site consists of a fully developed, 1.67-acre residential parcel
located immediately southwest of the intersection between S 48th St and Talbot Rd S in Renton,
Washington. The project area is roughly square-shaped, spanning approximately 270 feet along its
primary boundaries. The central portion of the site is occupied by an existing single-family
residence and accompanying detached garage and shed building. Expanded asphalt pavements
occupy the northeast corner of the subject property. The primary driveway enters the site from the
east along Talbot Rd S, looping to the north to access the aforementioned expanded parking area.
Vegetation consists primarily of lawn grass immediately east and west of the existing structures. A
thick growth of alder and fir trees are located towards the southern and western margins of the
project area, containing a dense understory of fern, blackberry bushes, and other brush.
Topographically, the subject property is gently sloped, generally descending from east to west at
gradients of less than 10 percent; with a total elevation change of ± 25 feet being observed over the
extent of the parcel. The subject parcel is situated along the eastern valley wall of the Duwamish
Valley.
No hydrologic features were observed on site, such as seeps, springs, ponds and streams.
3.2 Soil Conditions
Our test pit explorations revealed relatively consistent subgrade conditions across the project area,
generally consisting of a surface mantle of sod/topsoil, underlain by native, Vashon-aged glacial
soils.
Renton, and the larger Puget Sound area in general, has been glaciated a number of times over the
last 2.4 million years. The most recent of these glacial events, the Vashon Stade of the Fraser
Glaciation, receded from this region approximately 13,500 years ago. The majority of near surface
soils encountered within the Renton area are either directly associated with or have been physically
altered by the Vashon glacial event. Glacial till is typically described as being a compact, coherent
mixture of gravel, silt, clay and sand-sized clasts deposited along the base of glacial ice during a
period of localized advancement. This material is generally encountered in a compact relative
consistency given the fact that it was overridden by the ice mass shortly after deposition and is
commonly underlain by advance outwash soils. Advance outwash is resultant of pro-glacial rivers
and streams which carried sediment ahead of the advancing ice mass. Pockets of fine-grained soils
encountered within larger outwash deposits, as observed onsite, indicate that locally, pro-glacial
streams were slow-moving to nearly stagnant.
In general, our test pit explorations encountered glacial till soils within 12 inches of existing grade.
This material was continuous through a depth of approximately 7 to 8 feet below existing grade,
being comprised of silty sand with some gravel, to gravelly silty sand. As encountered on site,

Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 5 of 15
glacial till soils were highly weathered and heavily mottled; indicating poor surface drainage. From
a depth of 8 feet to 10 feet below existing grade, the termination depth of seven of our subsurface
explorations, we encountered advance outwash deposits. Advance outwash is typically comprised
of densely consolidated, relatively clean, sands and gravel. However, on site, this soil group was
largely comprised of alternating lenses of fine sand and silty sand; with an average relative fines
content (percent silt and clay) between 25 to 30 percent. This soil group was found to extend to a
depth of ± 11 to 13 feet below existing grade, transitioning to a more homogenous, relatively
impervious, dense, silty sand with some gravel.
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 Qvt, or Vashon-aged glacial till. Our subsurface explorations generally
correspond with the geologic mapping prepared 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
We did not encounter actual groundwater in any of our subsurface explorations, which extended to
a depth upwards of 15 feet below existing grade. During our later explorations performed in March
of 2019, we encountered small amounts of perched groundwater towards the top of the heavily
mottled soil column, first encountered within 2½ to 3 feet of surface elevations across the project
area. This was indicative of the poorly drained nature of surficial soils across the project area.
Deeper soil groups were not encountered in a saturated condition. We do not anticipate that
groundwater or perched water will be encountered in project excavations if they are performed
during the summer months, nor do we anticipate that groundwater will be a limiting factor in the
proposed development.
3.4 Infiltration Conditions and Infiltration Rate
As indicated in the Soil Conditions section of the report, the site is underlain by low permeability
glacial till soils at shallow depths, extending upwards of 8 feet below existing grade. The extensive
soil mottling encountered in this soil group is indicative of poor surface drainage. Encountered at a
depth of 8 feet, extending through a depth of ± 13 feet, we encountered advance outwash. As
observed in our explorations, this soil group was largely comprised of alternating lenses of fine
sand and silty sand. Though not ideal for stormwater retention, it is our opinion that this soil group
could support limited infiltration. Additionally, we are of the opinion that groundwater levels are
at a sufficient depth so as to not adversely affect stormwater retention. Our grain-size analysis
indicates that the advance outwash contains an average relative fines (percent silt/clay) content
between 27 to 30 percent.
The results of our soil grain size analyses are presented below, and the attached Soil Gradation
Graphs (Appendix B) display the grain-size distribution of the samples tested.

On March 15, 2019, an engineering geologist from MGI performed field infiltration testing utilizing
the procedures at the onset of this report. The field tests (INF-1 and INF-2) were performed in the
vicinity of test pit explorations TP-7 and TP-11, as indicated on the attached Figure 2. As described
in the Infiltration Test Procedures section of this report, there are two complementary portions of
the Small PIT procedure utilized to determine a field infiltration rate; the steady-state period and
the falling head period. In our experience, the falling head period is generally more conservative,
and provides a more accurate evaluation of infiltration conditions. The results of the falling head
portion of our Small PIT is recorded in Table 3.

The design rate is determined by the formula Idesign = Imeasured x Ftesting x Fgeometry x Fplugging. Idesign is the
maximum Design Infiltration Rate and Imeasured is the field infiltration rate, or 60 inches per hour in
this instance. Ftesting is a safety factor that accounts for uncertainties in the testing method and is
accepted as Ftesting =0.50. Fgeometry is a safety factor that accounts for the influence of facility geometry
and depth to the water table or impervious strata on the actual infiltration rate and is determined by
the following equation: Fgeometry = 4 D/W + 0.05 where D = depth from the bottom of the proposed
facility to the maximum wet season water table or nearest impervious layer, whichever is less and
W = width of facility. Fplugging is a safety factor that accounts for reductions in infiltration rates over
the long term due to plugging of soils. This factor is:
• 0.7 for loams and sandy loams
• 0.8 for fine sands and loamy sands
• 0.9 for medium sands
• 1.0 for coarse sands or cobbles.
Because the infiltration area is underlain by fine to loamy sands, a value of 0.8 for Fplugging should be
used for calculations. The accepted value of 0.5 for Ftesting should be used for calculations as well. A
preliminary value of 1.0 should be used for Fgeometry. Using these values, the calculated average
Design Infiltration Rate is 1 inch per hour. This value is for the native advance outwash soils which
underlie the project area. Retention facilities should have an invert elevation of at least 8 feet below
Sapphire Homes – Talbot Gardens Short Plat, Renton, WA October 11, 2017 / Revised March 29, 2019

existing grade. A more homogeneous restrictive layer is encountered at a depth of 13 feet in the
proposed stormwater retention area. The presence of this restrictive layer should be evaluated by
the Civil Engineer of Record for this project to determine whether it will adversely affect any
proposed designs.
3.5 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 2015 International Building Code (IBC).
Using 2015 IBC information on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III
seismic parameters for the site are as follows:
Ss = 1.394 g SMS = 1.394 g SDS = 0.929 g
S1 = 0.520 g SM1 = 0.780 g SD1 = 0.520 g
Using the 2015 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 1.39 g and Sa at a period of
1.0 seconds is 0.78 g.
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 0.93 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.52 g.
3.6 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 explorations did not encounter any saturated, or potentially
saturated granular soils, and we interpret the site as having a low potential for soil liquefaction
during a large-scale seismic event.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the property, demolition of the existing
structures, and development of the site for residential purposes. The proposed development will
result in approximately 20 buildable lots and contain a primary access road which travels east-west
across the length of the property, following the general course of the existing driveway. A
supplemental alleyway will also be introduced as part of the proposed development, traveling
south from S 48th Street, spanning the full length of the property along this orientation. The
southwest corner of the subject property will be utilized as an Open Space / Tree Retention Tract,
and will also house stormwater retention facilities, if feasible. We offer these recommendations:
• Feasibility: Based on our field explorations, research and analyses, the proposed
structures appear feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Sapphire Homes – Talbot Gardens Short Plat, Renton, WA October 11, 2017 / Revised March 29, 2019
Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 8 of 15
• Foundation Options: Foundation elements for the proposed residences should be
constructed on medium dense or denser undisturbed native soils, or on structural
fill bearing pads extending down to these soils. We anticipate that adequate
bearing soils will be encountered within two to three feet of existing grade.
Recommendations for Spread Footings are provided in Section 4.2.
• Floor Options: Floor sections for the proposed residences should bear on medium
dense or denser native soils or on properly compacted structural fill extending down
to these soils. We anticipate that adequate bearing soils will be encountered within
two to three feet of existing grade. 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: Native, in-situ soil conditions are amenable to the use of soil-
supported 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, depending on subgrade
conditions during pavement subgrade preparation.
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 depth of
12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material.
• Infiltration Conditions: Given the geological conditions encountered on site, we do
not foresee full-infiltration as being feasible for this project. However, limited
infiltration utilizing a system of trenches, likely can be implemented on site, utilizing
the advance outwash soils for stormwater retention. We recommend utilizing a
design infiltration rate of 1 inch per hour for this soil group. Invert elevations for
retention facilities should be located at least 8 feet below existing grade. A more
homogeneous restrictive layer is encountered at a depth of 13 feet in the proposed
stormwater retention area. The presence of this restrictive layer should be evaluated
by the Civil Engineer of Record for this project to determine whether it will
adversely affect any proposed designs. Shallower glacial till soils, should be
considered impermeable for design purposes.
• Geologic Hazards: During our site reconnaissance, advancement of subsurface
explorations, and general evaluation of the proposed development, we did not
observe any erosional, landslide, seismic, settlement, or other forms of geologic
hazards within the subject property. Given this fact, we recommend that no buffers,
setbacks, or other forms of site restraints be implemented to address these potential
hazards.
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 subsurface explorations indicate
that the organic horizon can reach thicknesses of up to 14 inches. Stripping is best performed
during a period of dry weather.
Site Excavations: Based on our explorations, we expect deeper site excavations will predominately
encounter densely consolidated glacial till soils. This soil group can be readily excavated utilizing
standard excavation equipment, though special teeth, or “rippers”, may need to be utilized in order
to rapidly excavate glacial till soils. Shallower excavations will encounter highly weathered, loosely
consolidated soils which can be readily excavated using standard excavation equipment.
Dewatering: We did not encounter actual groundwater seepage in any of our subsurface
explorations, which extended a maximum depth of 15 feet below existing grade. We do not
anticipate that groundwater levels will rise high enough to adversely affect the proposed
development; however, seasonally perched groundwater will likely be encountered at relatively
shallow depths across the project area during extended precipitation given the presence of low
permeability till soils across the subsurface. If groundwater is encountered, we anticipate that an
internal system of ditches, sump holes, and pumps will be adequate to temporarily dewater
excavations.

Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 10 of 15
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 foundation of the proposed residence 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.
• Glacial Till: Underlying a surface mantle of sod and topsoil, native glacial till soils
were encountered; generally consisting of dense, gravelly silty sand. These soils are
moderately moisture sensitive and will be difficult, if not impossible, to reuse during
wet weather conditions. If reuse is planned, care should be taken while stockpiling
in order to avoid saturation/over-saturation of the material, and moisture
conditioning should be expected.
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.
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 proposed
residences if the subgrade is properly prepared. We offer the following comments and
recommendations for spread footing design.
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 16 and 24 inches
wide, respectively.
Bearing Subgrades: Footings should bear on medium dense or denser, undisturbed native soils
which have been stripped of surficial organic soils and vigorously surface compacted, or on
properly compacted structural fill bearing pads which extend down to soils described above. We
anticipate that adequate bearing subgrades will be encountered within 1 to 2 feet of existing grade,
within glacial till soils.
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 over-excavated 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 3 feet below the footing base should also extend 3 feet
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 medium dense or denser,
native, glacial soils can be designed for a maximum 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.

Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 12 of 15
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 225 psf 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 in the proposed residences if the
subgrades are properly prepared. Floor sections for the proposed structures should bear on
medium dense or denser native soils or on properly compacted structural fill which extends down
to soils described above. We anticipate that adequate bearing soils will be encountered within 1 to
2 feet of existing grade. We offer the following comments and recommendations concerning slab-
on-grade floors.
Floor Subbase: Surface compaction of all slab subgrades is recommended. If a subbase is required,
it 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 subgrade. 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.
Vertical Deflections: Due to elastic compression of subgrades, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors
can deflect downwards when vertical loads are applied. In our opinion, a subgrade reaction
modulus of 250 pounds per cubic inch can be used to estimate such deflections.
4.4 Asphalt Pavement
Since asphalt pavements will also be used for the proposed communal driveway system, we offer
the following comments and recommendations for pavement design and construction.
Subgrade Preparation: 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
Sapphire Homes – Talbot Gardens Short Plat, Renton, WA October 11, 2017 / Revised March 29, 2019
Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report P1389-T18
Migizi Group, Inc. Page 13 of 15
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 washed crushed rock,
such as "Crushed Surfacing Base Course” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.9(3) but with a
fines content of less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 Sieve. Although our explorations do not
indicate a need for a pavement subbase, 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.
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 High Traffic Driveways
and Private Access Roads
Asphalt Concrete Pavement 2 inches 4 inches
Crushed Rock Base 4 inches 8 inches
Granular Fill Subbase (if needed) 6 inches 12 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 MGI 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:
Fill Application Minimum
Compaction
Footing subgrade and bearing pad
Foundation backfill
Asphalt pavement base
Asphalt pavement subgrade (upper 2 feet)
Asphalt pavement subgrade (below 2 feet)
95 percent
90 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.

Talbot Road S Arborist Report
Page 1 American Forest Management 7/9/2018
1. Introduction
American Forest Management, Inc. was contacted by Troy Schmeil of Sapphire Homes Inc., and was asked to
compile an ‘Arborist Report’ for a property located within the City of Renton. The proposed townhome project encompasses property located at 4827 Talbot Rd S. Our assignment is to
prepare a written report on present tree conditions, which is to be filed with the preliminary permit application. This report encompasses all of the criteria set forth under City of Renton code section 4-8-120. The tree
retention requirement is 30% of significant trees. Date of Field Examination: July 3rd, 2018
2. Description
71 significant trees were identified and assessed on the property. These are comprised of a mix of native species and planted ornamental species.
A numbered aluminum tag was placed on the lower trunks of the subject trees located in the southeast corner of the site, within the proposed tree retention/open space tract. Significant trees outside of this area were identified
with a numbered piece of flagging attached the lower trunk. These tree numbers correspond with the numbers
on the Tree Summary Tables and attached maps.
There are only a few potential issues with neighboring or off-site trees. Three neighboring trees were identified, assessed and included in this report.
3. Methodology
Each tree in this report was visited. Tree diameters were measured by tape. The tree heights were measured
using a Spiegel Relaskop. Each tree was visually examined for defects and vigor. The tree assessment procedure involves the examination of many factors:
• The crown of the tree is examined for current vigor. This is comprised of inspecting the crown (foliage, buds and branches) for color, density, form, and annual shoot growth, limb dieback and
disease. The percentage of live crown is estimated for coniferous species only and scored appropriately.
• The bole or main stem of the tree is inspected for decay, which includes cavities, wounds, fruiting bodies of decay (conks or mushrooms), seams, insects, bleeding, callus development, broken or dead
tops, structural defects and unnatural leans. Structural defects include crooks, forks with V-shaped crotches, multiple attachments, and excessive sweep.
• The root collar and roots are inspected for the presence of decay, insects and/or damage, as well as if
they have been injured, undermined or exposed, or original grade has been altered.
Based on these factors a determination of viability is made. Trees considered ‘non-viable’ are trees that are in poor condition due to disease, extensive decay and/or cumulative structural defects, which exacerbate failure
potential. A ‘viable’ tree is a tree found to be in good health, in a sound condition with minimal defects and is suitable for its location. Also, it will be wind firm if isolated or left as part of a grouping or grove of trees. A
‘borderline’ viable tree is a tree where its viability is in question. These are trees that are beginning to display symptoms of decline due to age and or species related problems. Borderline trees are not expected to positively
contribute to the landscape for the long-term and are not recommended for retention.
The attached Tree Conditions Map indicates the viability of the subject trees.
Talbot Road S Arborist Report
Page 2 American Forest Management 7/9/2018
4. Observations
The subject trees are comprised of a mix of native and planted species. Native species are comprised of Oregon
Ash, Pacific Willow, Western Red Cedar, Big Leaf Maple, Douglas-fir and Black Cottonwood. Planted species include Black Pine, Lombardi Poplar, Leyland Cypress, Fruit Trees, European Paper Birch, Lawson Cypress, Elm, and Windmill Palms.
6 of the 71 assessed trees on the subject property are in poor condition and considered non-viable. These are described as follows:
Tree #33 is a Pacific Willow (Salix lasiandra). It has a broken leader and is suppressed by nearby Cottonwoods.
Tree #35 is a Pacific Willow dominated by nearby trees with a severe lean reaching for light.
Tree #36 is another Pacific Willow dominated by nearby trees with a severe lean and broken leader.
Tree #50 is an overly mature Apple (Malus spp.) shaded by taller trees with a history of large heading cuts resulting in an abundance of regrowth and dead and decaying wood. (See photo #1)
Tree #69 is a European White Elm (Ulmus laevis). It is severely damaged by Elm Leafminer (Fenusa ulmi), and its form is poor.
Tree #70 is another overly mature Apple with a history of growing in the shade and harsh pruning resulting in a
large amount of dead wood in the canopy.
There are several native neighboring trees on the west perimeter. These are primarily comprised of black
cottonwood trees. These are mostly young to semi-mature specimens.
5. Discussion
There are several trees in the southeast corner of the site where retention may be feasible. Trees #1-20, 24, 25
roughly fall within the proposed tree retention tract on the site plan. The number of trees that can be retained will depend on the storm water retention design.
In order to properly protect retained trees, existing grades shall be maintained around them to the fullest extent
possible. After review of the proposed design, the subject trees selected for retention can be successfully preserved in good condition, so long as the proper tree protection measures are taken.
The drip-lines (farthest reaching branches) for the trees within the proposed tree retention tract can be found on
the tree summary table. These have also been delineated on a copy of the development plan for trees proposed for retention. The information plotted on the attached plan may need to be transferred to a final tree
retention/protection plan to meet City submittal requirements. The trees that are to be removed shall be shown “X’d” out on the final plan.
The Limits of Disturbance (LOD) measurements can also be found on the tree summary table. This is the
recommended distance of the closest impact (soil excavation or fill) to the trunk face. These should be referenced when determining tree retention feasibility. The LOD measurements are based on species, age,
condition, drip-line, prior improvements, proposed impacts and the anticipated cumulative impacts to the entire root zone.
Tree Protection fencing shall be initially located a few feet beyond the drip-line edge of retained trees per the
attached plan, and only moved back to the LOD when work is authorized and ready to commence.

Neighboring Tree Issues:
Tree #201 is a Black Cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) in fair condition just over the west fence line. This tree is likely to develop into a hazard tree as it matures. Removal now to avoid future problems would be prudent.
Tree # 202 is an Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia) in fair condition just over the north fence line. This tree will likely be significantly impacted by the development. Removal and replacement would be prudent.
Tree # 203 is a Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) in poor condition near the south east corner of the
property near Talbot Road S. This tree is under utility lines and has been topped many times over the years resulting in multiple leader regrowth. (See photo #3) Removal is recommended.
Finished landscaping work within the drip-lines of retained trees shall maintain existing grades and not disturb fine root mass at the ground surface. Finish landscape with mulch or new lawn on top of existing grade. Add no more than 2” to 4” of mulch or 2” of composted soil to establish new lawn. Raising the grade more than a few
inches will have adverse impacts on fine roots by cutting off oxygen causing suffocation.
6. Tree Protection Measures
The following general guidelines are recommended to ensure that the designated space set aside for the preserved trees are protected and construction impacts are kept to a minimum.
1. Tree protection fencing should be erected around retained trees and positioned just beyond the drip-line edge prior to moving any heavy equipment on site. Doing this will set clearing limits and avoid compaction of soils within root zones of retained trees.
2. Any existing infrastructure to be removed within the drip-line or tree protection zone shall be removed by hand or utilizing a tracked mini-excavator.
3. Excavation limits should be laid out in paint on the ground to avoid over excavating.
4. Excavations within the drip-lines shall be monitored by a qualified tree professional so necessary precautions
can be taken to decrease impacts to tree parts. A qualified tree professional shall monitor excavations when work is required and allowed within the “limits of disturbance”.
5. To establish sub grade for foundations, curbs and pavement sections near the trees, soil should be removed
parallel to the roots and not at 90 degree angles to avoid breaking and tearing roots that lead back to the trunk within the drip-line. Any roots damaged during these excavations should be exposed to sound tissue and cut
cleanly with a saw. Cutting tools should be sterilized with alcohol.
6. Areas excavated within the drip-line of retained trees should be thoroughly irrigated weekly during dry periods.
7. Preparations for final landscaping shall be accomplished by hand within the drip-lines of retained trees.
Large equipment shall be kept outside of the tree protection zones at all times. Simply finish landscape within 10’ of retained trees with a 2” to 4” layer of organic mulch.
7. Tree Replacement
Supplemental trees will likely be necessary to meet the retention requirement, given the low potential for
successful tree retention. The tree retention calculation is based on 65, healthy significant trees, not including poor condition or non-viable trees. The retention requirement for the site is 30%, therefore, a total of 20 trees
are required for retention per code.
Talbot Road S Arborist Report
Page 4 American Forest Management 7/9/2018
The following replacement requirements are necessary when retained/protected trees do not meet the minimum
requirement per RMC 4-4-130 H. Performance Standards for Land Development/Building Permits: e. Replacement Requirements: As an alternative to retaining trees, the Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator’s satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained.
i. Replacement Ratio: When the required number of protected trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a two-inch (2") caliper or an evergreen at least six feet (6') tall, shall be planted at a rate of twelve (12) caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. Up to fifty percent (50%) of trees required pursuant to RMC 4-4-070, Landscaping, may contribute to replacement trees. The City may require a surety or bond to ensure the survival of replacement trees.
New or supplemental trees will likely need to be planted to meet the municipal code. New tree plantings shall be given the appropriate space for the species and their growing characteristics. Confer with the City’s Urban
Forester for appropriate replacement species. Consult with your City planner to determine the number of replacement trees required once the tree retention plan has been finalized.
For planting and maintenance specifications, refer to municipal code 4-4-070 Landscaping.
There is no warranty suggested for any of the trees subject to this report. Weather, latent tree conditions, and
future man-caused activities could cause physiologic changes and deteriorating tree condition. Over time,
deteriorating tree conditions may appear and there may be conditions, which are not now visible which, could
cause tree failure. This report or the verbal comments made at the site in no way warrant the structural stability
or long term condition of any tree, but represent my opinion based on the observations made.
Nearly all trees in any condition standing within reach of improvements or human use areas represent hazards
that could lead to damage or injury.
Please call if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

Re: 4827 Talbot Road Wetland Reconnaissance
The Watershed Company Reference Number: 150537
Dear Alun:
On June 3, 2015, I visited an area located on the Ashburn Condominiums property
(Ashburn Property) directly west of your property located at 4827 Talbot Road S. in
Renton, Washington. The purpose of the visit was to determine the approximate
location of the mapped wetland boundary on the Ashburn Property. We understand
you were given verbal permission to enter the property by the Ashburn HOA. This
letter summarizes the findings of this study. The following attachments are included:
• Wetland Reconnaissance Sketch
• Wetland Determination Data Forms
• Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. Report
Methods
Public-domain information on the subject properties was reviewed for this study. These
sources include USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil maps, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory maps, Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife interactive mapping programs (PHS on the Web), City of Renton GIS mapping
website (COR Maps), and King County’s GIS mapping website (iMAP). An existing
conditions report prepared for the Vick property was also reviewed as part of this study
(Vick/Wright Property Existing Conditions Stream Analysis Report, Sewall Wetland
Consulting, Inc., March 14, 2007) (Sewall Report).
The study area was evaluated for wetlands using methodology from the Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains,
Valleys, and Coast Region Version 2.0 (Regional Supplement) (US Army Corps of
Engineers [Corps] May 2010). Wetland presence was determined on the basis of an
examination of vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Only areas meeting the criteria set
forth in the Regional Supplement were determined to be wetland. Soil, vegetation, and
hydrologic parameters were sampled at several locations make the determination. Data
Wetland Reconnaissance Report

were recorded at two of these locations.
Findings
The study area is composed of a forested plant community dominated by black
cottonwood, red alder, Oregon ash, red-osier dogwood, Himalayan blackberry, and reed
canarygrass. The dominant vegetation satisfies the criteria for a hydrophytic plant
community, as more than 50 percent of the dominant vegetation is composed of
facultative or facultative-wetland species. However, much of the vegetation, with the
exception of the larger cottonwood trees, appears to be a managed plant community.
Many of the sapling trees and shrubs appear to be of similar age, and remnant irrigation
piping is still present in many areas. Additionally, many of the dominant species,
especially the weed species, have a wide ecological tolerance and are commonly found
in both wetlands and non-wetlands alike. The soil in the study area is variable,
satisfying the criteria for the hydric soil indicator Redox Dark Surface (F6) at DP-1, but
not satisfying hydric soil criteria at DP-2. There was no observed wetland hydrology
(ground- or surface-water) present in the study area at the time of the inspection, and no
primary hydrology indicators were observed. Hydrology sampling pits were dug to
approximately 30 inches below the ground surface, with no detectable soil moisture
observed. DP-1 is located in the lowest point of the study area, in the former drainage
feature connecting to the Vick property (see below).
The study area is mapped as a wetland, per the City of Renton wetland inventory.
Previously, much of the Vick property was mapped as part of the same wetland.
However, the wetland designation for the Vick property was changed upon verification
in the Sewall Report that the wetland was a man-made landscape pond. We understand
the hydrologic input to the wetland came from a man-made drainage feature that was
controlled by a water-flow control valve adjacent to Talbot Road. The flow was
captured in a lined pond on the Vick property, then discharged into the mapped
wetland on the Ashburn property. Following the determination that the pond on the
Vick property was not a jurisdictional wetland, and the drainage feature was not a
jurisdictional stream, flow into the drainage feature was permanently disconnected, and
the Vick wetland subsequently dried up and was completely filled. This action appears
to have had the unanticipated effect of partially or completely dewatering the Ashburn
wetland, as well.
The effect that discontinuing a substantial hydrologic source for the wetland mapped on
the Ashburn property cannot be entirely quantified at this time of year since we are past
the historically wettest portion of the growing season (typically early March). However,
hydrology appears to have been substantially diminished. There was no dry-season
water table below the root zone as of the June inspection, and there are no indicators of
recent ponding, such as an algal mat, iron deposits, surface soil cracks, water-stained

leaves, or a sparsely vegetated concave surface. The soil throughout the study area does
not consistently exhibit hydric soil characteristics; the plant community is not a reliable
indicator, as it is a managed community; and wetland hydrology was not observed as of
the date of this study. Therefore, based on the combined evidence available, it appears
that mapped wetland located on the Ashburn property just west of the Vick property no
longer satisfies all three wetland criteria.
Wetland hydrology indicators are often the most transitory of wetland
parameters. Direct hydrology observations are often only present during the normal
wet portion of the growing season and may be absent during the dry season or during
drier-than-normal years. Areas that have hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils
generally also have wetland hydrology, unless the hydrologic regime has changed due
to natural events or human activities. In instances, particularly during the dry season,
when hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are present but hydrology indicators are
absent, best professional judgment is used to determine wetland presence and
boundaries. In some situations, it may be necessary to conduct additional inspections
during the normal wet portion of the growing season to determine if wetland hydrology
is present in a particular area.

RE: Review of site and Watershed June 11, 2015 report
City of Renton, Washington
SWC Job #16-110
Dear Alun,
I have reviewed the “4827 Talbot Road South Wetland Reconnaissance” report, dated
6/11//2015 prepared by The Watershed Company. I visited the site on February 11, and
March 9, 2016 in the early part of the growing season that had a record high rainfall well
above average.
My observations concur with those described in the June 11, 2015 Watershed
reconnaissance letter. It appears that the removal of the pond and its water source on
your property have have resulted in the wetland on the Ashburn parcel to have dried up
significantly. During my site visits no areas meeting wetland hydrology were found on
your property or the area immediately to the west on the Ashburn site on these dates.
If you have any questions in regards to this report or need additional information, please
feel free to contact me at (253) 859-0515 or at esewall@sewallwc.com .
Sincerely,

6.7.2 Proprietary Facility Designs
Biopod biofilter by Oldcastle Infrastructure is not approved by the City of Renton, but has GULD certification through
Ecology. The Biopod is necessary due to the drop required by other facilities and presettling is not required with the
Biopod, easing the need for additional facilities.
May 2019
GENERAL USE LEVEL DESIGNATION FOR BASIC (TSS), DISSOLVED
METALS (ENHANCED), AND PHOSPHORUS TREATMENT
For
Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc.’s
The BioPod™ Biofilter
(Formerly the TreePod Biofilter)
Ecology’s Decision:
Based on Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc. application submissions for the The BioPod™
Biofilter (BioPod), Ecology hereby issues the following use level designation:
1. General Use Level Designation (GULD) for Basic, Enhanced, and Phosphorus
Treatment:
Sized at a hydraulic loading rate of 1.6 gallons per minute (gpm) per square foot (sq
ft) of media surface area.
Constructed with a minimum media thickness of 18-inches (1.5-feet).
2. Ecology approves the BioPod at the hydraulic loading rate listed above, to achieve the
maximum water quality design flow rate. The water quality design flow rates are
calculated using the following procedures:
Western Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or retention,
the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate as calculated using
the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology Model or other Ecology-
approved continuous runoff model.
Eastern Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or retention,
the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate as calculated using
one of the three methods described in Chapter 2.2.5 of the Stormwater Management
Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW) or local manual.
Entire State: For treatment installed downstream of detention, the water quality
design flow rate is the full 2-year release rate of the detention facility.
3. The GULD has no expiration date, but may be amended or revoked by Ecology.
Ecology’s Conditions of Use:
The BioPod shall comply with these conditions:
1) Applicants shall design, assemble, install, operate, and maintain the BioPod
installations in accordance with Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc.’s applicable manuals and
the Ecology Decision.
2) BioPod media shall conform to the specifications submitted to and approved by Ecology
3) Maintenance: The required inspection/maintenance interval for stormwater treatment
devices is often dependent on the efficiency of the device and the degree of pollutant
loading from a particular drainage basin. Therefore, Ecology does not endorse or
recommend a “one size fits all” maintenance cycle for a particular model/size of
manufactured filter treatment device.
The BioPod is designed for a target maintenance interval of 1 year. Maintenance
includes replacing the mulch, assessing plant health, removal of trash, and raking
the top few inches of engineered media.
A BioPod system tested at the Lake Union Ship Canal Test Facility in Seattle, WA
required maintenance after 1.5 months, or 6.3% of a water year. Monitoring
personnel observed similar maintenance issues with other systems evaluated at the
Test Facility. The runoff from the Test Facility may be unusual and maintenance
requirements of systems installed at the Test Facility may not be indicative of
maintenance requirements for all sites.
Test results provided to Ecology from a BioPod System evaluated in a lab following
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Laboratory Protocol for
Filtration MTDs have indicated the BioPod System is capable of longer maintenance
intervals.
Owners/operators must inspect BioPod systems for a minimum of twelve months
from the start of post-construction operation to determine site-specific
inspection/maintenance schedules and requirements. Owners/operators must
conduct inspections monthly during the wet season, and every other month during
the dry season. (According to the SWMMWW, the wet season in western
Washington is October 1 to April 30. According to the SWMMEW, the wet season
in eastern Washington is October 1 to June 30.) After the first year of operation,
owners/operators must conduct inspections based on the findings during the first
year of inspections.
Conduct inspections by qualified personnel, follow manufacturer’s guidelines, and
use methods capable of determining either a decrease in treated effluent flow rate
and/or a decrease in pollutant removal ability.
4) Install the BioPod in such a manner that you bypass flows exceeding the maximum
operating rate and you will not resuspend captured sediment.
5) Discharges from the BioPod shall not cause or contribute to water quality standards
violations in receiving waters.

System, Oldcastle Stormwater Solutions, May 2016
Emerging Stormwater Treatment Technologies Application for Certification: The TreePod™
Biofilter, Oldcastle Stormwater Solutions, April 2016
Applicant’s Use Level Request:
General Use Level Designation as a Basic, Enhanced, and Phosphorus Treatment device
in accordance with Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington
Applicant’s Performance Claims:
Based on results from laboratory and field-testing, the applicant claims the BioPod™ Biofilter
operating at a hydraulic loading rate of 153 inches per hour is able to remove:
80% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) for influent concentrations greater than 100 mg/L
and achieve a 20 mg/L effluent for influent concentrations less than 100 mg/L.
60% dissolved zinc for influent concentrations 0.02 to 0.3 mg/L.
30% dissolved copper for influent concentrations 0.005 to 0.02 mg/L.
50% or greater total phosphorus for influent concentrations 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L.
Ecology’s Recommendations:
Ecology finds that:
Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc. has shown Ecology, through laboratory and field testing,
that the BioPod™ Biofilter is capable of attaining Ecology’s Basic, Total Phosphorus,
and Enhanced treatment goals.
Findings of Fact:
Field Testing
1. Herrera Environmental Consultants, Inc. conducted monitoring of the BioPod™ Biofilter at
the Lake Union Ship Canal Test Facility in Seattle Washington between November 2016 and
April 2018. Herrera collected flow-weight composite samples during 14 separate storm
events and peak flow grab samples during 3 separate storm events. The system was sized at
an infiltration rate of 153 inches per hour or a hydraulic loading rate of 1.6 gpm/ft2.
2. The D50 of the influent PSD ranged from 3 to 292 microns, with an average D50 of 28
microns.
3. Influent TSS concentrations ranged from 17 mg/L to 666 mg/L, with a mean concentration of
98 mg/L. For all samples (influent concentrations above and below 100 mg/L) the bootstrap
estimate of the lower 95 percent confidence limit (LCL 95) of the mean TSS reduction was
84% and the bootstrap estimate of the upper 95 percent confidence limit (UCL95) of the
mean TSS effluent concentration was 8.2 mg/L.
4. Dissolved copper influent concentrations from the 17 events ranged from 9.0 µg/L to 21.1
µg/L. The 21.1 µg/L data point was reduced to 20.0 µg/L, the upper limit to the TAPE
allowed influent concentration range, prior to calculating the pollutant removal. A bootstrap
estimate of the LCL95 of the mean dissolved copper reduction was 35%.
5. Dissolved zinc influent concentrations from the 17 events ranged from 26.1 µg/L to 43.3
µg/L. A bootstrap estimate of the LCL95 of the mean dissolved zinc reduction was 71%.
6. Total phosphorus influent concentrations from the 17 events ranged from 0.064 mg/L to 1.56
mg/L. All influent data greater than 0.5 mg/L were reduced to 0.5 mg/L, the upper limit to the TAPE
allowed influent concentration range, prior to calculating the pollutant removal. A bootstrap
estimate of the LCL95 of the mean total phosphorus reduction was 64%.
7. The system experienced rapid sediment loading and needed to be maintained after 1.5
months. Monitoring personnel observed similar sediment loading issues with other systems
evaluated at the Test Facility. The runoff from the Test Facility may not be indicative of
maintenance requirements for all sites.
Laboratory Testing
1. Good Harbour Laboratories (GHL) conducted laboratory testing at their site in Mississauga,
Ontario in October 2017 following the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Laboratory Protocol for Filtration MTDs. The testing evaluated a 4-foot by 6-foot standard
biofiltration chamber and inlet contour rack with bypass weir. The test sediment used during
the testing was custom blended by GHL using various commercially available silica sands,
which had an average d50 of 69 µm. Based on the lab test results:
a. GHL evaluated removal efficiency over 15 events at a Maximum Treatment Flow Rate
(MTFR) of 37.6 gpm, which corresponds to a MTFR to effective filtration treatment area
ratio of 1.80 gpm/ft2. The system, operating at 100% of the MTFR with an average
influent concentration of 201.3 mg/L, had an average removal efficiency of 99 percent.
b. GHL evaluated sediment mass loading capacity over an additional 16 events using an
influent SSC concentration of 400 mg/L. The first 11 runs were evaluated at 100% of the
MTFR. The BioPod began to bypass, so the remaining 5 runs were evaluated at 90% of
the MTFR. The total mass of the sediment captured was 245.0 lbs and the cumulative
mass removal efficiency was 96.3%.
2. Herrera Environmental Consultants Inc. conducted laboratory testing in September 2014 at
the Seattle University Engineering Laboratory. The testing evaluated the flushing
characteristics, hydraulic conductivity, and pollutant removal ability of twelve different
media blends. Based on this testing, Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc. selected one media blend,
Mix 8, for inclusion in their TAPE evaluation of the BioPod™ Biofilter.
a. Herrera evaluated Mix 8 in an 8-inch diameter by 36-inch tall polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
column. The column contained 18-inches of Mix 8 on top of 6-inches of pea gravel. The
BioPod will normally include a 3-inch mulch layer on top of the media layer; however,
this was not included in the laboratory testing.
b. Mix 8 has a hydraulic conductivity of 218 inches per hour; however, evaluation of the
pollutant removal ability of the media was based on an infiltration rate of 115 inches per
hour. The media was tested at 75%, 100%, and 125% of the infiltration rate. Based on the
lab test results:
The system was evaluated using natural stormwater. The dissolved copper and
dissolved zinc concentrations in the natural stormwater were lower than the TAPE
influent standards; therefore, the stormwater was spiked with 66.4 mL of 100 mg/L
Cu solution and 113.6 mL of 1,000 mg/L Zn solution.
The BioPod removed an average of 81% of TSS, with a mean influent concentration
of 48.4 mg/L and a mean effluent concentration of 9.8 mg/L.
The BioPod removed an average of 94% of dissolved copper, with a mean influent
concentration of 10.6 µg/L and a mean effluent concentration of 0.6 µg/L.
The BioPod removed an average of 97% of dissolved zinc, with a mean influent
concentration of 117 µg/L and a mean effluent concentration of 4 µg/L.
The BioPod removed an average of 97% of total phosphorus, with a mean influent
concentration of 2.52 mg/L and a mean effluent concentration of 0.066 mg/L. When
total phosphorus influent concentrations were capped at the TAPE upper limit of 0.5
mg/L, calculations showed an average removal of 87%.
Other BioPod Related Issues to be Addressed By the Company:
1. Conduct hydraulic testing to obtain information about maintenance requirements on a site
with runoff that is more typical of the Pacific Northwest.
