Contractor forces, in accordance with the intent of the Contract and without expense to the Owner,
and shall bear the expense of making good all Work of other contractors destroyed or damaged by
11/12/2020
17
such removal or replacement.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned Work and materials and commence re-execution
of the Work within 7 calendar days of written notice from the Engineer, or fails to perform any part of
the Work required by the Contract Documents, the Owner may correct and remedy such Work as may
be identified in the written notice, with Contracting Agency forces or by such other means as the
Contracting Agency may deem necessary. In that case, the Owner may store removed material.
Direct or indirect costs incurred by the Contracting Agency attributable to correcting and remedying
defective or unauthorized Work, or Work the Contractor failed or refused to perform, shall be paid by
the Contractor. Payment will be deducted by the Engineer from monies due, or to become due, the
Contractor. Such direct and indirect costs shall include in particular, but without limitation,
compensation for additional professional services required, and costs for repair and replacement of
Work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of the Contractor’s
unauthorized Work.
If sufficient funds do not remain in the Contract and the Contractor does not pay the cost of such

of such removal, the Owner may, upon an additional 10 calendar days written notice, sell such
materials at public or private sale, and deduct all costs and expenses incurred from monies due to the
Contractor, including costs of sale, and accounting to Contractor for the net proceeds remaining. The
Owner may bid at any such sale. The Contractor shall be liable to the Owner for the amount of any
deficiency from any funds otherwise due the Contractor.
If the Contractor fails to comply with a written order to remedy what the Engineer determines to be
an emergency situation, the Engineer may have the defective and unauthorized Work corrected
immediately, have the rejected Work removed and replaced, or have Work the Contractor refuses to
perform completed by using Contracting Agency or other forces. An emergency situation is any
situation when, in the opinion of the Engineer, a delay in its remedy could be potentially unsafe, or
might cause serious risk of loss or damage to the public, the Property Owner and the Property Owner’s
property.
No adjustment in contract time or compensation will be allowed because of the delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of the Contracting Agency’s rights provided by
this section.
The rights exercised under the provisions of this section shall not diminish the Contracting Agency’s
right to pursue any other avenue for additional remedy or damages with respect to the Contractor’s
failure to perform the Work as required.
1-05.10 Guarantees
Section 1-05.10 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
If within one year after the Acceptance Date of the Work by the Contracting Agency, defective and/or
unauthorized Work is discovered, the Contractor shall promptly, upon written order by the Contracting
Agency, return and in accordance with the Engineer’s instructions, either correct such Work, or if such
11/12/2020
18
Work has been rejected by the Engineer, remove it from the project site and replace it with non-
defective and authorized Work, all without cost to the Contracting Agency. If the Contractor does not
promptly comply with the written order to correct defective and/or unauthorized Work, or if an
emergency exists, the Contracting Agency reserves the right to have defective and/or unauthorized
Work corrected or removed and replaced pursuant to Section 1-05.7 “Removal of Defective and/or
Unauthorized Work.”
The Contractor agrees the above one year limitation shall not exclude or diminish the Contracting
Agency’s rights under any law to obtain damages and recover costs resulting from defective and/or
unauthorized Work discovered after one year but prior to the expiration of the legal time period set
forth in RCW 4.16.040 limiting actions upon a contract in writing, or liability expressed of implied
arising out of a written agreement.
The Contractor shall warrant good title to all materials, supplies, and equipment purchased for, or
incorporated in the Work. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall defeat or impair the
right of persons furnishing materials or labor, to recover under any bond given by the Contractor for
their protection, or any rights under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the
Contractor in the hands of the Contracting Agency.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be inserted in all subcontracts and material contracts and notice
of its provisions shall be given to all persons furnishing materials for the Work when no formal contract
is entered into for such materials.
1-05.11 Final Inspection
1-05.11(1) Substantial Completion Date
Section 1-05.11(1) is a new section:
(******)
When the Contractor considers the Work to be substantially complete, the Contractor shall so notify
the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial Completion Date. The Engineer will
schedule an inspection of the Work with the Contractor to determine the status of completion.
To be considered substantially complete the following conditions must be met:
1. The Contracting Agency must have full and unrestricted use and benefit of the
facilities both from the operational and safety standpoint.
2. Only minor incidental Work, replacement of temporary substitute facilities, or
correction of repair Work remains to reach physical completion of the Work.
The Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of Work in subparagraph two above that remains
to be completed in order to reach physical completion. The Engineer may also establish the
Substantial Completion Date unilaterally.
If after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the Work is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to the Contractor, will set the
11/12/2020
19
Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the Engineer does not consider the Work
substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer will, by written notice, so notify
the Contractor giving the reasons therefore.
Upon receipt of written notice concurring in or denying substantial completion, whichever is
applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without unauthorized interruption,
the Work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical Completion. The Contractor shall provide the
Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor expects to reach substantial and
physical completion of the Work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial Completion Date
and the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection.
1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
Section 1-05.11(2) is a new Section:
(******)
When the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection, the
Contractor, by Written Notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection. The Engineer
will set a date for Final Inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final inspection
and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the Final Inspection
reveals the Work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective
measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective Work shall be pursued
vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This
process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected.
If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the Written
Notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon Written Notice to the Contractor, take
whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1-05.7. The Contractor
will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the performance of the Work
attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting Agency,
in writing, of the date upon which the Work was considered physically complete, that date shall
constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but shall not imply all the obligations of the
Contractor under the Contract have been fulfilled.
1-05.11(3) Operational Testing
Section 1-05.11(3) is a new section:
(******)
Unless otherwise noted in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum
of 3 working days’ notice of the time for each test and inspection. If the inspection is by another
authority than the Engineer, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of 3 working days’
notice of the date fixed for such inspection. Required certificates of inspection by other authority than
11/12/2020
20
the Engineer shall be secured by the Contractor.
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and
operable system. Therefore, when the Work involves the installation of machinery or other
mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation systems;
buildings; or other similar Work, it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the Contractor operate
and test the Work for a period of time, after final inspection but prior to the physical completion date.
Whenever items of Work are listed in the Contract Provisions for operational testing, they shall be
fully tested under operating conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior
to the Physical Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct
any items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class
operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment to be
tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that the Engineer
may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. The Physical
Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been completed to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to successfully
complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices related to the system being
tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal.
Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a manufacturer’s
guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the Contract.

The Engineer’s review and any resulting approval of the Contractor’s SWPPP and TESCP will be only
regarding conformance with the specification requirement that the Contractor have the plans
prepared by a CPESC or professional Civil Engineer who has expertise in the type of facilities and that
the SWPPP and TESCP include the items specified for such plans. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for the adequacy of the SWPPP and TESCP and if erosion sediment, and other pollutant
control measures in deviation or addition to those described in the SWPPP become necessary to
minimize erosion and prevent storm water contamination from sediment and other pollutants, the
Contractor shall prepare and submit a revised SWPPPP to the Engineer for review as specified for the
original plan.
The Owner will not be liable to the Contractor for failure to accept all or any portion of an originally
submitted or revised SWPPP, nor for any delays to the Work due to the Contractor’s failure to submit
and implement an acceptable SWPPP.

AT&T has a critical fiber optic conduit on S 2nd St and Shattuck Ave S. The critical fiber optic duct(s)
(AT&T Duct) shall be protected and supported in place without damage or disruption to the utility
service. Protection measures shall remain in continuous use until the Contractor has backfilled and
re-encased the AT&T Duct. The contractor shall be held responsible for any damage or disruption that
may occur.
The Contractor shall be responsible for submitting a written AT&T Protect-in-Place Plan to the
Engineer at least 30 days prior to any anticipated construction. The Protect-in-Place Plan shall be
prepared by and bear the signature of a professional structural engineer licensed in the state of
Washington. The Protect-in-Place Plan shall include, at minimum, the following:
1. Shoring Detail and Calculations
2. Structural Support Detail and Calculations
3. Backfill Plan
4. Schedule
The Protect-in-Place Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Engineer and the AT&T
representative prior to any work in the vicinity of the AT&T Duct(s). The Engineer’s review of the
submitted material shall in no way relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for making a satisfactory
installation meeting the requirements of these documents and the utility owner.
The protect-in-place methods proposed by the Contractor shall provide for AT&T Duct excavation and
immediate, continuous, and adequate support of the ground, adjacent structure(s), duct(s), and other
facilities. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design of the shoring and structural support of
the duct(s) such that the AT&T Duct(s) are protected in accordance with these specifications. The
Contractor shall exercise all due caution while working near the AT&T Duct, in order to prevent
damage to the duct. The Contractor agrees to:
a. notify AT&T by telephone at 1-800-252-1133 at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to
performing any construction, demolition, or repairs at the AT&T Duct location;
b. not use at the AT&T Duct location any tool, equipment, or machinery capable of being
operated within ten (10) feet of the Cable without an AT&T representative being present;
c. perform construction, demolition, repair, modifications, additions, and any other
activities in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and in a manner that does
not interfere with the operations of AT&T; and
d. not work at the AT&T Duct location without AT&T’s prior authorization and AT&T’s On-Site
Work Force personnel being present during the work.
The contractor shall coordinate with the AT&T construction observer during the excavation, chipping,
supporting, exposure, and re-encasement of the AT&T Duct(s). The Contractor shall abide by the
requests of the construction observer, which may include inspection assistance, temporary stoppage
of work, changes in support mechanism, modification of shoring, re-encasement requirements,
and/or other requirements.
Utility Adjustments and Conflicts
Existing utilities for telephone, power, gas, water, and television cable facilities shall be adjusted or
relocated by the appropriate utility company unless otherwise noted in the Plans. These adjustments
may be completed before the Contractor begins Work or may be performed in conjunction with the
11/12/2020
37
Contract Work. The Contractor shall be entirely responsible for coordination with the utility companies
and arranging for the movement or adjustment, either temporary or permanent, of their facilities
within the project limits. See also Section 1-05.14 of these Special Provisions.
If or when utility conflicts occur, the Contractor shall continue the construction process on other
aspects of the project whenever possible. The Contractor shall include in the Base Bid all necessary
communication and meetings with the utility companies, and all necessary advance notification to
utility companies to keep the project on schedule and avoid delays. No additional compensation will
be made to the Contractor for reason of delay caused by the actions of any utility company, and the
Contractor shall consider such costs to be incidental to the other items of the Contract.
Utility Potholing
Potholing may be included as a bid item for use in determining the location of existing utilities in
advance of the Contractor's operations. If potholing is not included as a bid item, then it shall be
considered incidental to other Work. The Contractor shall submit all potholing requests to the
Engineer for approval, at least 2 working days before potholing is scheduled. Additionally, the
Contractor shall provide potholing at the Engineer's request.
In no way shall the Work described under Utility Potholing relieve the Contractor of any of the
responsibilities described in Section 1-07.17 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions, and
elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
1-07.17(3) Site Specific Potholing
Section 1-07.17(3) is a new section:
(******)
Site Specific Potholing is intended to be potholing as identified in the Plans or as directed by the
Engineer, which is separate from and in addition to potholing included as incidental for utility
installation. The Contractor shall perform exploratory excavations as required to collect as-built
information. The Contractor shall verify the depth, location, alignment, size, and material of existing
underground utilities. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer if field conditions differ
from the expected conditions shown in the Contract Drawings. The Contractor shall perform all
potholing identified on the plans prior to any construction to allow for any potential design
modifications. The Contractor is still responsible to verify depth, location, alignment, and size of all
existing utilities either specifically called for or not on the plans. For these utilities, the Contractor
shall allow the Engineer 10 working days after written results are received to allow for minor design
modifications when needed. The Contractor shall use the information obtained by potholing for
procurement of suitable materials to revise the work accordingly, where required by the Contract.
Upon completion of excavation the material can be used for temporary restoration.
Where underground utilities are found to be in the way of construction, such condition shall not be
deemed to be a changed or differing site condition, and if necessary, pipe alignment or grade shall be
modified. No payment will be made unless potholing has been performed prior to trench excavation
and witnessed by the Engineer. Different utilities may be found to occupy a common trench. Any
two or more utilities separated by 3 feet or less shall constitute one pothole. Where multiple utilities
exist in close proximity, the Contractor shall be paid for one pothole for every 5 feet of exploration
11/12/2020
38
trench. The quantity for this item is included to provide a common proposal for bid purposes. The
actual quantity used in construction may vary from that amount. The unit price will not be adjusted
if the actual quantity used varies by more than 25 percent.
The contractor shall perform this potholing a minimum of twenty working days prior to crossing to
allow for potential revisions. The contractor shall not have cause for claim of down-time or any other
additional costs associated with ‘waiting’ if the owner provides design revisions (related to the
information supplied per this section) within ten working days after the contractor provides the
surveyed elevations.
In no way shall the Work described under Site Specific Potholing relieve the Contractor of any of the
responsibilities described in Section 1-07.17 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions, and
elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
1-07.17(4) Interruption of Services
Section 1-07.17(4) is a new section:
(******)
Whenever in the course of the construction operation it becomes necessary to cause an outage of
utilities, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the affected users and the Engineer not less
than 48 hours in advance of such outage. The Contractor shall make reasonable effort to minimize
the duration of outages and shall estimate the length of time service will be interrupted and so notify
the users. In the case of any utility outage that has exceeded or will exceed four hours, user contact
shall again be made. Temporary service, if needed, will be arranged by the Contractor at no cost to
the Owner.
Water service interruptions, shut-offs, and connections shall be in accordance with Section 7-09.
Overhead lighting outages shall not exceed 24 hours. All cost to the Contractor for providing
temporary overhead lighting to meet above requirements shall be incidental to the various unit and
Lump sum items of the Contract; no separate payment will be made.
In the event on an unplanned interruption of service, the Contractor shall be responsible for notifying
the utility owner and customer immediately. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for repairing
any broken utilities and/or services in a timely manner.
11/12/2020

1-07.17(5) Resolution of Utility Conflicts
(******)
Section 1-07.17(5) is a new section:
In no way shall the work described under Resolution of Utility Conflicts relieve Contractor of any of
the responsibilities described in Section 1-07.17 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions,
and elsewhere in the Contract Documents. If or when utility conflicts occur, Contractor shall continue
the construction process on other aspects of the project whenever possible.
If “Resolution of utility conflicts” is included as a bid item in Section 1-09.14, it shall be used to resolve
any new identified utility conflicts not otherwise shown on the Contract Drawing or Specifications that
are identified during the course of construction.

be submitted to the Engineer no later than noon on the working day prior to the day for which the
Contractor is requesting permission to Work.
The Contractor shall submit a Night Work and Noise Mitigation Plan for approval to work between the
hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. detailing the extent and need for night work, the equipment which
will be used, including noise levels, and measures for reducing the impact of noise. Approval to work
during these hours is subject to the Engineer’s discretion and may be revoked at any time the
Contractor exceeds the Contracting Agency’s noise control regulations or complaints are received from
the public or adjoining property owners regarding the noise from the Contractor’s operations. The
Contractor shall have no claim for damages or delays should such permission be revoked for these
reasons.
Permission to Work nights, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or other than the agreed upon normal straight
time working hours Monday through Friday may be given subject to certain other conditions set forth
by the Contracting Agency or the Engineer. These conditions may include but are not limited to:
requiring the Engineer or such assistants as the Engineer may deem necessary to be present during
the Work; requiring the Contractor to reimburse the Contracting Agency for the cost of engineering
salaries paid Contracting Agency employees who worked during such times; considering the Work
performed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays as working days with regards to the Contract Time;
and considering multiple Work shifts as multiple working days with respect to Contract Time even
though the multiple shifts occur in a single 24-hour period. Assistants may include, but are not limited
to, survey crews; personnel from the material testing labs; inspectors; and other Contracting Agency
employees when in the opinion of the Engineer such Work necessitates their presence.
1-08.0(3) Reimbursement for Overtime Work of Contracting Agency Employees
Section 1-08.0(3) is a new subsection:
(******)
Where the Contractor elects to Work on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or longer than an 8-hour Work
shift on a regular working day, as defined in the Standard Specifications, such Work shall be considered
as overtime Work. On all such overtime Work an inspector will be present, and a survey crew may be
required at the discretion of the Engineer. The Contractor shall reimburse the Contracting Agency for
11/12/2020
50
the full amount of the straight time plus overtime costs for employees and representative(s) of the
Contracting Agency required to work overtime hours.
The Contractor by these Specifications does hereby authorize the Engineer to deduct such costs from
the amount due or to become due the Contractor.
1-08.1 Subcontracting
Revise the second paragraph to read:
The Contractor shall not subcontract Work unless the Engineer approves in writing. Each request to
subcontract shall be on the form the Engineer provides. If the Engineer requests, the Contractor shall
provide proof that subcontractor has the experience, ability, and equipment the Work requires. The
Contractor shall require each subcontractor to comply with Section 1-07.9 and to furnish all
certificates and statements required by the Contract. The Contractor shall require each subcontractor
of every tier to meet the responsibility criteria stated in RCW 39.06, and shall include these
requirements in every subcontract of every tier.
Section 1-08.1 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Written requests for change in subcontractors shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Engineer at
least 7 calendar days prior to start of a subcontractor's Work.
The Contractor agrees that he/she is fully responsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of all
subcontractors and lower-tier subcontractors, and persons either directly or indirectly employed by
the subcontractors, as well as for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the
Contractor. The Contractor shall be required to give personal attention to the Work that is sublet.
Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relation between any
subcontractor and the Owner.
The Contractor shall be responsible for making sure all subcontractors submit all required
documentation, forms, etc.
1-08.2 Assignment
The second paragraph of Section 1-08.2 is modified as follows:
(******)
The Contractor shall not assign any moneys due or to become due to the Contractor hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Owner. The assignment, if approved, shall be subject to all
setoffs, withholdings, and deductions required by law and the Contract.
11/12/2020
51
1-08.3 Progress Schedule
Section 1-08.3 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
The progress schedule for the entire project shall be submitted 7 calendar days prior to the
Preconstruction Conference. The schedule shall be prepared using the critical path method (CPM),
preferably using Microsoft Project or equivalent software. The schedule shall contain this information,
at a minimum:
1. Construction activities, in sufficient detail that all activities necessary to construct a complete
and functional project are considered. Any activity that has a scheduled duration exceeding
30 calendar days shall be subdivided until no sub-element has a duration exceeding 30
calendar days.
2. The schedule shall clearly indicate the activities that comprise the critical path. For each
activity not on the critical path, the schedule shall show the float, or slack, time.
3. Procurement of material and equipment.
4. Submittals requiring review by the Engineer. Submittal by the Contractor and review by the
Engineer shall be shown as separate activities.
5. Work to be performed by a subcontractor, agent, or any third party.
6. Allowances for delays that could result from normal inclement weather (time extensions due
to inclement weather will not be allowed).
7. Allowances for the time required by utilities (Owner’s and others) to locate, monitor, and
adjust their facilities as required.
The Engineer may request the Contractor to alter the progress schedule when deemed necessary in
the opinion of the Engineer, in the interest of public safety and welfare of the Owner, or for
coordination with any other activity of other contractors, the availability of all or portions of the job
site, or special provisions of this Contract, or to reasonably meet the completion date of the project.
The Contractor shall provide such revised schedule within 10 days of request.
If, at any time, in the opinion of the Engineer, the progress of construction falls significantly behind
schedule, the Contractor may be required to submit a plan for regaining progress and a revised
schedule indicating how the remaining Work items will be completed within the authorized contract
time.
The Contractor shall promptly report to the Engineer any conditions that the Contractor feels will
require revision of the schedule and shall promptly submit proposed revisions in the progress schedule
for acceptance by the Engineer. When such changes are accepted by the Engineer, the revised
schedule shall be followed by the Contractor.
Weekly Schedule. The Contractor shall submit a weekly progress schedule to the Engineer which sets
forth specific Work to be performed the following week, and a tentative schedule for the second week.
Failure to Maintain Progress Schedule. The Engineer will check actual progress of the Work against
the progress schedule a minimum of two times per month. Failure, without just cause, to maintain
progress in accordance with the approved schedule shall constitute a breach of Contract. If, through
no fault of the Contractor, the proposed construction schedule cannot be met, the Engineer will
11/12/2020
52
require the Contractor to submit a revised schedule to the Engineer for acceptance. The approved
revisions will thereafter, in all respects, apply in lieu of the original schedule.
Failure of the Contractor to follow the progress schedule submitted and accepted, including revisions
thereof, shall relieve the Owner of any and all responsibility for furnishing and making available all or
any portion of the job site, and will relieve the Owner of any responsibility for delays to the Contractor
in the performance of the Work.
The cost of preparing the progress schedule, any supplementary progress schedules, and weekly
schedules shall be considered incidental to the Contract and no other compensation shall be made.
1-08.4 Notice to Proceed and Prosecution of the Work
Section 1-08.4 is replaced with the following:
(******)
Notice to Proceed will be given after the Contract has been executed and the Contract bond and
evidence of insurances have been approved and filed by the Owner. The Contractor shall not
commence construction activities until the Notice to Proceed has been given by the Engineer. The
Contractor shall commence construction activities within ten days of the Notice to Proceed date. The
Work thereafter shall be prosecuted diligently, vigorously, and without unauthorized interruption until
physical completion of the Work. There shall be no voluntary shutdowns or slowing of operations by
the Contractor without prior approval of the Engineer. Such approval shall not relieve the Contractor
from the contractual obligation to complete the Work within the prescribed Contract Time.
1-08.5 Time for Completion
The first five paragraphs of Section 1-08.5 are deleted and replaced with the following:
(******)
The Work shall be physically completed in its entirety within the time specified in the Contract
Documents or as extended by the Engineer. The Contract Time will be stated in “working days”, shall
begin on the Notice To Proceed date, or the date identified in the Notice to Proceed as “the first
working day”, and shall end on the Contract Completion date.
Work within the Safeway Temporary Construction Easement shall be completed within 60 calendar
days from the date work begins within the easement. The easement may not be used for staging or
storage at any time.
A non-working day is defined as a Saturday, a Sunday, a day on which the Contract specifically suspends
Work, or one of these holidays: January 1, third Monday of January, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day,
November 11, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The day before
Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. The day
after Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a Monday or Thursday. When
Christmas Day occurs on a Saturday, the two preceding working days shall be observed as holidays.
When Christmas day occurs on a Sunday, the two working days following shall be observed as holidays.
When holidays other than Christmas fall on a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be counted as a non-
11/12/2020
53
working day and when they fall on a Sunday the following Monday will be counted as a non-working
day. The Contract Time has been established to allow for periods of normal inclement weather that,
from historical records, is to be expected during the Contract Time, and during which periods, Work is
anticipated to be performed. Each successive working day, beginning with the Notice to Proceed date
and ending with the Physical Completion date, shall be charged to the Contract Time as it occurs except
a day, or part of a day, which is designated a non-working day or an Engineer determined unworkable
day.
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly report showing (1) the number of working days
charged against the Contract Time for the preceding week; (2) the Contract Time in working days; (3)
the number of working days remaining in the Contract Time; (4) the number of non-working days; and
(5) any partial or whole days the Engineer declared unworkable the previous week. This weekly report
will be correlated with the Contractor’s current approved progress schedule. If the Contractor elects
to work 10 hours a day and 4 days a week (a 4-10 schedule), and the fifth day of the week in which a
4-10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day, then the fifth day of that week will
be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day.
The Contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days from the date of each report in which to file a written
protest of an alleged discrepancy in the Contract Time as reported. Otherwise, the report will be
deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor as correct.
The requirements for scheduling the Final Inspection and establishing the Substantial Completion,
Physical Completion, and Completion Dates are specified in Sections 1-05.11 and 1-05.12.
Revise the sixth paragraph to read:
(******)
The Engineer will give the Contractor written notice of the completion date of the Contract after all
the Contractor’s obligations under the Contract have been performed by the Contractor. The
following events must occur before the Completion Date can be established:
1. The physical Work on the project must be complete; and
2. The Contractor must furnish all documentation required by the Contract and required by law,
to allow the Contracting Agency to process final acceptance of the Contract. The following
documents must be received by the Engineer prior to establishing a completion date:
a. Certified Payrolls (Federal-aid Projects)
b. Material Acceptance Certification Documents
c. Annual Report of Amounts Paid as MBE/WBE Participants or Quarterly Report of Amounts
Credited as DBE Participation, as required by the Contract Provisions.
d. FHWA 47 (Federal-aid Projects)
e. Final Contract Voucher Certification
f. Copies of the approved “Affidavit of Prevailing Wages Paid” for the Contractor and all
Subcontractors
g. Property owner releases per Section 1-07.24

(Ecology); the elapse of 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of the Notice of
11/12/2020
54
Termination by Ecology; and no rejection of the Notice of Termination by Ecology. This
requirement will not apply if the Construction Stormwater General Permit is transferred
back to the Contracting Agency in accordance with Section 8-01.3(16).
Section 1-08.5 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor
shall provide the Contracting Agency with copies of purchase orders for all equipment items deemed
critical by the Contracting Agency, including but not limited to signal controller materials, lighting
standards, and signal standards required for the physical completion of the Contract. Such purchase
orders shall disclose the estimated delivery dates for the equipment.
All items of Work that can be performed without delivery of the critical items shall start and be
completed as soon as possible. At that time, the Engineer may suspend the Work upon request of the
Contractor until the critical items are delivered to the Contractor, if the Contracting Agency received a
purchase order within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting Agency.
The Contractor will be entitled to only one such suspension of time during the performance of the
Work and during such suspension shall not perform any additional Work on the project. Upon delivery
of the critical items, contract time will resume and continue to be charged in accordance with Section
1-08.
1-08.6 Suspension of Work
Section 1-08.6 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Owner may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof, by giving notice to the Contractor in
writing. The Work shall be resumed by the Contractor within 14 calendar days after the date fixed in
the written notice from the Owner to the Contractor to do so.
The Contractor shall not suspend Work under the Contract without the written order of the Owner.
If it has been determined that the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time, the amount of such
extension shall be only to compensate for direct delays, and shall be based upon the Contractor's
diligently pursuing the Work at a rate not less than that which would have been necessary to complete
the original Contract Work on time.
1-08.7 Maintenance During Suspension
Revise the second paragraph to read:
(******)
At no expense to the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall provide through the construction area
a safe, smooth, and unobstructed roadway, sidewalk, driveway, and path for public use during
11/12/2020
55
suspension (as required in Section 1-07.23 or the Special Provisions). This may include a temporary
road or detour.
1-08.9 Liquidated Damages
Section 1-08.9 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
In addition, the Contractor shall compensate the Owner for actual engineering inspection and
supervision costs and any other expenses and legal fees incurred by the Owner as a result of such
delay. Such labor costs will be billed to the Contractor at actual costs, including administrative
overhead costs.
In the event that the Owner is required to commence any lawsuit in order to enforce any provision of
this Contract or to seek redress for any breach thereof, the Owner shall be entitled to recover its costs,
including reasonable attorney ’s fees, from the Contractor.
In addition, the City has agreements with a developer for the old city hall parcel (200 Mill Avenue
South) to have utility work completed by August 1, 2022. Delay in substantial completion of the utility
work for all utilities on or adjacent to Mill Avenue may result in Liquidated Damages up to $350,000.
1-08.11 Contractor's Plant and Equipment
Section 1-08.11 is a new Section:
(******)
The Contractor alone shall at all times be responsible for the adequacy, efficiency, and sufficiency of
his and his subcontractor's plant and equipment. The Owner shall have the right to make use of the
Contractor's plant and equipment in the performance of any Work on the site of the Work.
The use by the Owner of such plant and equipment shall be considered as extra Work and paid for
accordingly.
Neither the Owner nor the Engineer assumes any responsibility, at any time, for the security of the
site from the time the Contractor's operations have commenced until final acceptance of the Work by
the Engineer and the Owner. The Contractor shall employ such measures as additional fencing,
barricades, and watchmen service, as he deems necessary for the public safety and for the protection
of the site and his plant and equipment. The Owner will be provided keys for all fenced, secured areas.
1-08.12 Attention to Work
Section 1-08.12 is a new section:
(******)
The Contractor shall give his personal attention to and shall supervise the Work to the end that it shall
be prosecuted faithfully, and when he is not personally present on the Work site, he shall at all times
11/12/2020
56
be represented by a competent superintendent who shall have full authority to execute the same, and
to supply materials, tools, and labor without delay, and who shall be the legal representative of the
Contractor. The Contractor shall be liable for the faithful observance of any instructions delivered to
him or to his authorized representative.
1-09 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
1-09.1 Measurement of Quantities
Section 1-09.1 is supplemented by adding the following:
(******)
Lump Sum. The percentage of lump sum Work completed, and payment will be based on the cost
percentage breakdown of the lump sum bid price(s) submitted at the preconstruction conference.
The Contractor shall submit a breakdown of costs for each lump sum bid item. The breakdown shall
list the items included in the lump sum together with a unit price of labor, materials, and equipment
for each item. The summation of the detailed unit prices for each item shall add up to the lump sum
bid. The unit price values may be used as a guideline for determining progress payments or deductions
or additions in payment for ordered Work changes.
Cubic Yard Quantities. The Contractor shall provide truck trip tickets for progress payments only in
the following manner. Where items are specified to be paid by the cubic yard, the following tally
system shall be used.
All trucks to be employed on this Work will be measured to determine the volume of each truck. Each
truck shall be clearly numbered, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and there shall be no duplication
of numbers.
Duplicate tally tickets shall be prepared to accompany each truckload of material delivered on the
project. All tickets received that do not contain the following information will not be processed for
payment:
1. Truck number
2. Quantity and type of material delivered in cubic yards
3. Drivers name, date, and time of delivery
4. Location of delivery, by street and stationing on each street
5. Place for the Engineer to acknowledge receipt
6. Pay item number
7. Contract number and/or name
It will be the Contractor's responsibility to see that a ticket is given to the Engineer on the project for
each truckload of material delivered. Pay quantities will be prepared on the basis of said tally tickets.
Loads will be checked by the Engineer to verify quantity shown on ticket.
Quantities by Ton. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to see that a certified weight ticket is given
to the Inspector on the project at the time of delivery of materials for each truckload delivered. Pay
11/12/2020
57
quantities will be prepared on the basis of said tally tickets, delivered to Inspector at time of delivery
of materials. Tickets not receipted by Inspector will not be honored for payment.
Each truck shall be clearly numbered to the satisfaction of the Engineer and there shall be no
duplication of numbers.
Duplicate tickets shall be prepared to accompany each truckload of material delivered to the project.
All tickets received that do not contain the following information will not be processed for payment:
1. Truck number
2. Truck tare weight (stamped at source)
3. Gross truckload weight in tons (stamped at source)
4. Net load weight (stamped at source)
5. Driver's name, date, and time of delivery
6. Location for delivery by street and stationing on each street
7. Place for the Engineer to acknowledge receipt

9. Contract number and/or name
1-09.3 Scope of Payment
Section 1-09.3 is supplemented by adding the following:
(******)
The bid items listed in Section 1-09.14 will be the only items for which compensation will be made for
the Work described in each section of the Standard Specifications when the Contractor performs the
specified Work. Should a bid item be listed in a “Payment” clause but not in the Proposal Form, and
Work for that item is performed by the Contractor and the Work is not stated as included in or
incidental to a pay item in the Contract and is not Work that would be required to complete the intent
of the Contract per Section 1-04.1, then payment for that Work will be made as for Extra Work
pursuant to a Change Order.
The words “Bid Item,” “Contract Item,” and “Pay Item,” and similar terms used throughout the
Contract Documents are synonymous.
If the “payment” clause in the Specifications relating to any unit bid item price in the Proposal Form
requires that said unit bid item price cover and be considered compensation for certain Work or
material essential to the item, then the Work or material will not be measured or paid for under any
other unit bid item which may appear elsewhere in the Proposal Form or Specifications.
Pluralized unit bid items appearing in these Specifications are changed to singular form.
Payment for bid items listed or referenced in the “Payment” clause of any particular section of the
Specifications shall be considered as including all of the Work required, specified, or described in that
particular section. Payment items will generally be listed generically in the Specifications, and
specifically in the bid form. When items are to be “furnished” under one payment item and “installed”
under another payment item, such items shall be furnished FOB project site, or, if specified in the
Special Provisions, delivered to a designated site. Materials to be “furnished,” or “furnished and
11/12/2020
58
installed” under these conditions, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor with regard to storage
until such items are incorporated into the Work or, if such items are not to be incorporated into the
Work, delivered to the applicable Contracting Agency storage site when provided for in the
Specifications. Payment for material “furnished,” but not yet incorporated into the Work, may be made
on monthly estimates to the extent allowed.
1-09.6 Force Account
Section 1-09.6 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Owner has estimated and included in the proposal, dollar amounts for all items to be paid per force
account, only to provide a common proposal for Bidders. All such dollar amounts are to become a
part of the Contractor’s total bid. However, the Owner does not warrant expressly or by implication
that the actual amount of Work will correspond with those estimates. Payment will be made on the
basis of the amount of Work actually authorized by the Engineer.
1-09.7 Mobilization
Section 1-09.7 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Mobilization shall also include, but not be limited to, the following items: the movement of
Contractor's personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; the establishment of
an office, buildings, and other facilities necessary for Work on the project; providing sanitary facilities
for the Contractor's personnel; and obtaining permits or licenses required to complete the project not
furnished by the Owner.
Payment will be made for the following bid item(s):
“Mobilization & Demobilization,” Lump Sum.
1-09.9 Payments
Delete the fourth paragraph and replace it with the following:
(******)
Progress payments for completed Work and material on hand will be based upon progress estimates
prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be established at the preconstruction
meeting.
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor commences the
Work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month thereafter until the Completion
Date. Progress estimates made during progress of the Work are tentative and made only for the
purpose of determining progress payment. The progress estimates are subject to change at any time
prior to the calculation of the final payment.
11/12/2020
59
The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following:
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form – the approximate quantity of acceptable units of Work
completed multiplied by the unit price.
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form – the estimated percentage complete multiplied by the Bid
Forms amount for each lump sum item, or per the schedule of values for that item.
3. Materials on Hand – 100 percent of invoiced cost of material delivered to job site or other
storage area approved by the Engineer.
4. Change Orders – entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra Work as determined
by the Engineer.
Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less:
1. Retainage per Section 1-09.9(1);
2. The amount of Progress Payments previously made; and
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
Progress payments for Work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance or an
admission by the Contracting Agency that any Work has been satisfactorily completed.
Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer, issued by the Contracting Agency’s fiscal
officer, against the appropriate fund source for the project. Payments received on account of Work
performed by a subcontractor are subject to the provisions of RCW 39.04.250.
Section 1-09.9 is supplemented as follows:
(******)
Applications for payment shall be itemized and supported to the extent required by the Engineer by
receipts or other vouchers showing payment for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors, and
other such evidence of the Contractor's right to payment as the Engineer may direct, including “red
line” as-built drawings showing work installed by the contractor during the progress payment period.
The Contractor shall submit a progress report with each monthly request for a progress payment. The
progress report shall indicate the estimated percent complete for each activity listed on the progress
schedule (see Section 1-08.3) and a revised and updated schedule to reflect the most current project
completion date.
1-09.9(1) Retainage
Section 1-09.9(1) is supplemented as follows:
(******)
The retained amount shall be released as stated in the Standard Specifications if no claims have been
filed against such funds as provided by law, and if the Owner has no unsatisfied claims against the
Contractor. In the event claims are filed, the Owner shall withhold, until such claims are satisfied, a
sum sufficient to satisfy all claims and to pay attorney's fees. In addition, the Owner shall withhold
11/12/2020
60
such amount as is required to satisfy any claims by the Owner against the Contractor, until such claims
have been finally settled.
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor, if requested, delivers to the Owner a complete release of all liens arising out of this
Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof, and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so far as the
Contractor has knowledge or information, the release and receipts include all labor and materials for
which a lien could be filed: but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or
receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactorily to the Engineer to indemnify the Owner against the lien. If
any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall reimburse to the Owner
all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and
reasonable engineer's and attorney's fees.
1-09.9(2) Contracting Agency’s Right to Withhold and Disburse Certain Amounts
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
(******)
In addition to monies retained pursuant to RCW 60.28 and subject to RCW 39.04.250, RCW 39.12 and
RCW 39.76, the Contractor authorizes the Engineer to withhold progress payments due or deduct an
amount from any payment or payments due the Contractor which, in the Engineer’s opinion, may be
necessary to cover the Contracting Agency’s costs for or to remedy the following situations:
1. Damage to another contractor when there is evidence thereof and a claim has been filed.
2. Where the Contractor has not paid fees or charges to public authorities of municipalities,
which the Contractor is obligated to pay.
3. Utilizing material tested and inspected by the Engineer, for purposes not connected with the
Work (Section 1-05.6).
4. Landscape damage assessments per Section 1-07.16.
5. For overtime Work performed by City personnel per Section 1-08.0(3).
6. Anticipated or actual failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time:
a. Per Section 1-08.9 Liquidated Damages; or
b. Lack of construction progress based upon the Engineer’s review of the Contractor’s
approved progress schedule, which indicates the Work will not be complete within the
contract time. When calculating an anticipated time overrun, the Engineer will make
allowances for weather delays, approved unavoidable delays, and suspensions of the
Work. The amount withheld under this subparagraph will be based upon the liquidated
damages amount per day set forth in Contract Documents multiplied by the number of
days the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, in the opinion of the Engineer,
indicates the Contract may exceed the Contract Time.
7. Failure of the Contractor to perform any of the Contractor’s other obligations under the
11/12/2020
61
Contract, including but not limited to:
a. Failure of the Contractor to provide the Engineer with a field office when required by the
Contract Provisions.
b. Failure of the Contractor to protect survey stakes, markers, etc., or to provide adequate
survey Work as required by Section 1-05.4.
c. Failure of the Contractor to correct defective or unauthorized Work (Section 1-05.7).
d. Failure of the Contractor to furnish a Manufacturer ’s Certificate of Compliance in lieu of
material testing and inspection as required by Section 1-06.3.
e. Failure to submit weekly payrolls, Intent to Pay Prevailing Wage forms, or correct
underpayment to employees of the Contractor or subcontractor of any tier as required by
Section 1-07.9.
f. Failure of the Contractor to pay worker’s benefits (Title 50 and Title 51 RCW) as required
by Section 1-07.10.
g. Failure of the Contractor to submit and obtain approval of a progress schedule per Section
1-08.3.
The Contractor authorizes the Engineer to act as agent for the Contractor disbursing such funds as
have been withheld pursuant to this Section to a party or parties who are entitled to payment.
Disbursement of such funds, if the Engineer elects to do so will be made only after giving the
Contractor 15 calendar days prior written notice of the Contracting Agency’s intent to do so, and if
prior to the expiration of the 15-calendar day period,
1. No legal action has commenced to resolve the validity of the claims, and
2. The Contractor has not protested such disbursement.
A proper accounting of all funds disbursed on behalf of the Contractor in accordance with this Section
will be made. A payment made pursuant to this section shall be considered as payment made under
the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Contracting Agency shall not be liable to the Contractor
for such payment made in good faith.
1-09.9(3) Final Payment
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
(******)
Upon Acceptance of the Work by the Contracting Agency, the final amount to be paid the Contactor
will be calculated based upon a Final Progress Estimate made by the Engineer. Acceptance by the
Contractor of the final payment shall be and shall operate as a release:
1. To the Contracting Agency of all claims and all liabilities of the Contractor, other than claims
in stated amounts as may be specifically accepted in writing by the Contractor;
2. For all things done or furnished in connection with the Work;
3. For every act and neglect by the Contracting Agency; and
4. For all other claims and liability relating to or arising out of the Work.
A payment (monthly, final, retainage, or otherwise) shall not release the Contractor or the
Contractor’s Surety from any obligation required under the terms of the Contract Documents or the
11/12/2020
62
Contract Bond; nor shall such payment constitute a waiver of the Contracting Agency’s ability to
investigate and act upon findings of non-compliance with the WMBE requirements of the Contract;
nor shall such payment preclude the Contracting Agency from recovering damages, setting penalties,
or obtaining such other remedies as may be permitted by law.
Before the Work will be accepted by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall submit an affidavit,
on the form provided by the Engineer, of amounts paid to certified disadvantaged (DB), minority (MBE)
or women business enterprises (WBE) participating in the Work. Such affidavit shall certify the
amounts paid to the DB, MBE or WBE subcontractors regardless of tier.
On federally funded projects the Contractor may also be required to execute and furnish the
Contracting Agency an affidavit certifying that the Contractor has not extended any loans, gratuity or
gift and money pursuant to Section 1-07.19 of these Specifications.
If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Progress Estimate or any other
documents required for the final acceptance of the Contract, the Contracting Agency reserves the right
to establish a completion date and unilaterally accept the Contract. Unilateral acceptance will occur
only after the Contractor has been provided the opportunity, by written request from the Engineer, to
voluntarily submit such documents. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, formal notification of the
impending unilateral acceptance will be provided by certified letter from the Engineer to the
Contractor that will provide 30 calendar days for the Contractor to submit the necessary documents.
The 30-calendar day deadline shall begin on the date of the postmark of the certified letter from
the Engineer requesting the necessary documents. This reservation by the Contracting Agency to
unilaterally accept the Contract will apply to contracts that are completed in accordance with Section
1-08.5 for contracts that are terminated in accordance with Section 1-08.10. Unilateral acceptance of
the Contract by the Contracting Agency does not in any way relieve the Contractor of the provisions
under contract or of the responsibility to comply with all laws, ordinances, and federal, state, and local
regulations that affect the Contract. The date the Contracting Agency unilaterally signs the Final
Progress Estimate constitutes the final acceptance date (Section 1-05.12).

(******)
Roadway excavation shall include the removal of all materials excavated from within the limits shown
on the Plans. Suitable excavated material shall be used for embankments, while surplus excavated
material or unsuitable material shall be disposed of by the Contractor.
Earthwork quantities and changes will be computed, either manually or by means of electronic data
processing equipment, by use of the average end area method. Any changes to the proposed Work
as directed by the Engineer that would alter these quantities shall be calculated by the Engineer and
submitted to the Contractor for his review and verification.
Any excavation or embankment beyond the limits indicated in the Plans, unless ordered by the
Engineer, shall not be paid for. All Work and material required to return these areas to their original
conditions, as directed by the Engineer, shall be provided by the Contractor at his sole expense.
All areas shall be excavated, filled, and/or backfilled as necessary to comply with the grades shown on
the Plans. In filled and backfilled areas, fine grading shall begin during the placement and the
compaction of the final layer. In cut sections, fine grading shall begin within the final six (6) inches of
cut. Final grading shall produce a surface, which is smooth and even, without abrupt changes in grade.
Excavation for curbs and gutters shall be accomplished by cutting accurately to the cross sections,
grades and elevations shown. Care shall be taken not to excavate below the specified grades. The
Contractor shall maintain all excavations free from detrimental quantities of leaves, brush, sticks,
trash, and other debris until final acceptance of the Work.
11/12/2020
124
Following removal of topsoil or excavation to grade, and before placement of fills or base course, the
subgrade under the roadway shall be proof rolled to identify any soft or loose areas which may warrant
additional compaction or excavation and replacement.
The Contractor shall provide temporary drainage or protection to keep the subgrade free from
standing water.
Acceptable excavated native soils shall be used for fill in the area requiring fills. Care shall be taken to
place excavated material at the optimum moisture content to achieve the specified compaction. Any
native material used for fill shall be free of organics and debris and have a maximum particle size of 6
inches.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to prevent the native materials from becoming saturated
with water. The measures may include sloping to drain, compacting the native materials, and diverting
runoff away from the materials. If the Contractor fails to take such preventative measures, any costs
or delay related to drying the materials shall be at his own expense.
If the native materials become saturated, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to dry the
materials, to the optimum moisture content. If sufficient acceptable native soils are not available to
complete construction of the roadway embankment, Gravel Borrow shall be used.
If subgrade trimmer is not required on the project, all portions of Section 2-03 shall apply as though a
subgrade trimmer were specified.
If sufficient acceptable native soils, as determined by the Engineer, are not available to complete
construction of the roadway embankment, Gravel Borrow meeting the requirements of Section 9-

may be diluted once with water at a rate not to exceed one-part water to one-part emulsified asphalt.
The tack coat shall have sufficient temperature such that it may be applied uniformly at the specified
rate of application and shall not exceed the maximum temperature recommended by the emulsified
asphalt manufacturer.
5-04.3(4)A Crack Sealing
5-04.3(4)A1 General
When the Proposal includes a pay item for crack sealing, seal all cracks ¼ inch in width and greater.
Cleaning: Ensure that cracks are thoroughly clean, dry, and free of all loose and foreign material when
filling with crack sealant material. Use a hot compressed air lance to dry and warm the pavement
surfaces within the crack immediately prior to filling a crack with the sealant material. Do not overheat
pavement. Do not use direct flame dryers. Routing cracks is not required.
Sand Slurry: For cracks that are to be filled with sand slurry, thoroughly mix the components, and pour
the mixture into the cracks until full. Add additional CSS-1 cationic emulsified asphalt to the sand slurry
as needed for workability to ensure the mixture will completely fill the cracks. Strike off the sand slurry
flush with the existing pavement surface and allow the mixture to cure. Top off cracks that were not
completely filled with additional sand slurry. Do not place the HMA overlay until the slurry has fully
11/12/2020
143
cured.
The sand slurry shall consist of approximately 20 percent CSS-1 emulsified asphalt, approximately 2
percent Portland cement, water (if required), and the remainder clean Class 1 or 2 fine aggregate per
section 9-03.1(2). The components shall be thoroughly mixed and then poured into the cracks and
joints until full. The following day, any cracks or joints that are not completely filled shall be topped
off with additional sand slurry. After the sand slurry is placed, the filler shall be struck off flush with
the existing pavement surface and allowed to cure. The HMA overlay shall not be placed until the
slurry has fully cured. The requirements of Section 1-06 will not apply to the Portland cement and
sand used in the sand slurry.
In areas where HMA will be placed, use sand slurry to fill the cracks.
In areas where HMA will not be placed, fill the cracks as follows:
1. Cracks ¼ inch to 1 inch in width - fill with hot poured sealant.
2. Cracks greater than 1 inch in width – fill with sand slurry.
Hot Poured Sealant: For cracks that are to be filled with hot poured sealant, apply the material in
accordance with these requirements and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Furnish a Type 1
Working Drawing of the manufacturer’s product information and recommendations to the Engineer
prior to the start of work, including the manufacturer’s recommended heating time and temperatures,
allowable storage time and temperatures after initial heating, allowable reheating criteria, and
application temperature range. Confine hot poured sealant material within the crack. Clean any
overflow of sealant from the pavement surface. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor’s
method of sealing the cracks with hot poured sealant results in an excessive amount of material on
the pavement surface, stop and correct the operation to eliminate the excess material.
5-04.3(4)A2 Crack Sealing Areas Prior to Paving
In areas where HMA will be placed, use sand slurry to fill the cracks.
5-04.3(4)A3 Crack Sealing Areas Not to be Paved

The Contractor shall not excavate more area than can be completely finished during the same shift,
unless approved by the Engineer.
Unless otherwise shown in the Plans or determined by the Engineer, excavate to a depth of 1.0 feet.
The Engineer will make the final determination of the excavation depth required. The minimum width
of any pavement repair area shall be 40 inches unless shown otherwise in the Plans. Before any
excavation, the existing pavement shall be sawcut or shall be removed by a pavement grinder.
Excavated materials will become the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of in a
Contractor-provided site off the Right of Way or used in accordance with Sections 2-02.3(3) or 9-03.21.
Asphalt for tack coat shall be required as specified in Section 5-04.3(4). A heavy application of tack
coat shall be applied to all surfaces of existing pavement in the pavement repair area.
Placement of the HMA backfill shall be accomplished in lifts not to exceed 0.35-foot compacted depth.
Lifts that exceed 0.35-foot of compacted depth may be accomplished with the approval of the
Engineer. Each lift shall be thoroughly compacted by a mechanical tamper or a roller.
5-04.3(5) Producing/Stockpiling Aggregates and RAP
Aggregates and RAP shall be stockpiled according to the requirements of Section 3-02. Sufficient
storage space shall be provided for each size of aggregate and RAP. Materials shall be removed from

delivered to the HMA plant.
5-04.3(5)A Vacant
5-04.3(6) Mixing
After the required amount of mineral materials, asphalt binder, recycling agent and anti-stripping
additives have been introduced into the mixer the HMA shall be mixed until complete and uniform
coating of the particles and thorough distribution of the asphalt binder throughout the mineral
materials is ensured.
When discharged, the temperature of the HMA shall not exceed the optimum mixing temperature by
more than 25°F as shown on the reference mix design report or as approved by the Engineer. Also,
when a WMA additive is included in the manufacture of HMA, the discharge temperature of the HMA
shall not exceed the maximum recommended by the manufacturer of the WMA additive. A maximum
water content of 2 percent in the mix, at discharge, will be allowed providing the water causes no
problems with handling, stripping, or flushing. If the water in the HMA causes any of these problems,
the moisture content shall be reduced as directed by the Engineer.
Storing or holding of the HMA in approved storage facilities will be permitted with approval of the
Engineer, but in no event shall the HMA be held for more than 24 hours. HMA held for more than 24
hours after mixing shall be rejected. Rejected HMA shall be disposed of by the Contractor at no
expense to the Contracting Agency. The storage facility shall have an accessible device located at the
top of the cone or about the third point. The device shall indicate the amount of material in storage.
No HMA shall be accepted from the storage facility when the HMA in storage is below the top of the
cone of the storage facility, except as the storage facility is being emptied at the end of the
11/12/2020
145
working shift.
Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) utilized in the production of HMA shall be sized prior to entering the
mixer so that a uniform and thoroughly mixed HMA is produced. If there is evidence of the recycled
asphalt pavement not breaking down during the heating and mixing of the HMA, the Contractor shall
immediately suspend the use of the RAP until changes have been approved by the Engineer. After the
required amount of mineral materials, RAP, new asphalt binder and asphalt rejuvenator have been
introduced into the mixer the HMA shall be mixed until complete and uniform coating of the particles
and thorough distribution of the asphalt binder throughout the mineral materials, and RAP is ensured.

shall not exceed the following:
HMA Class 1” 0.35 feet
HMA Class ¾” and HMA Class ½”
wearing course 0.30 feet
other courses 0.35 feet
HMA Class ⅜” 0.15 feet
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical spreading and
finishing equipment impractical, the paving may be done with other equipment or by hand.
When more than one JMF is being utilized to produce HMA, the material produced for each JMF shall
be placed by separate spreading and compacting equipment. The intermingling of HMA produced
from more than one JMF is prohibited. Each strip of HMA placed during a work shift shall conform to
a single JMF established for the class of HMA specified unless there is a need to make an adjustment
in the JMF.
5-04.3(8) Aggregate Acceptance Prior to Incorporation in HMA
For HMA accepted by nonstatistical evaluation the aggregate properties of sand equivalent,
uncompacted void content and fracture will be evaluated in accordance with Section 3-04. Sampling
and testing of aggregates for HMA accepted by commercial evaluation will be at the option of the
Engineer.
5-04.3(9) HMA Mixture Acceptance
Acceptance of HMA shall be as provided under nonstatistical, or commercial evaluation.
Nonstatistical evaluation will be used for the acceptance of HMA unless Commercial Evaluation is
specified.
Commercial evaluation will be used for Commercial HMA and for other classes of HMA in the following
applications: sidewalks, road approaches, ditches, slopes, paths, trails, gores, prelevel, temporary
pavement, and pavement repair. Other nonstructural applications of HMA accepted by commercial
11/12/2020
146
evaluation shall be as approved by the Engineer. Sampling and testing of HMA accepted by commercial
evaluation will be at the option of the Engineer.
The mix design will be the initial JMF for the class of HMA. The Contractor may request a change in
the JMF. Any adjustments to the JMF will require the approval of the Engineer and may be made in
accordance with this section.
HMA Tolerances and Adjustments
1. Job Mix Formula Tolerances – The constituents of the mixture at the time of acceptance shall
be within tolerance. The tolerance limits will be established as follows:
For Asphalt Binder and Air Voids (Va), the acceptance limits are determined by adding the
tolerances below to the approved JMF values. These values will also be the Upper
Specification Limit (USL) and Lower Specification Limit (LSL) required in Section 1-06.2(2)D2
Property Non-Statistical Evaluation Commercial Evaluation
Asphalt Binder +/- 0.5% +/- 0.7%
Air Voids, Va 2.5% min. and 5.5% max N/A
For Aggregates in the mixture:
a. First, determine preliminary upper and lower acceptance limits by applying the following
tolerances to the approved JMF.
Aggregate Percent Passing Non-Statistical Evaluation Commercial Evaluation
1”, ¾”, ½”, and 3/8” sieves +/- 6% +/- 8%
No. 4 sieve +/-6% +/- 8%
No. 8 Sieve +/- 6% +/-8%
No. 200 sieve +/- 2.0% +/- 3.0%
b. Second, adjust the preliminary upper and lower acceptance limits determined from step
(a) the minimum amount necessary so that none of the aggregate properties are outside
the control points in Section 9-03.8(6). The resulting values will be the upper and lower
acceptance limits for aggregates, as well as the USL and LSL required in Section 1-
06.2(2)D2.
2. Job Mix Formula Adjustments – An adjustment to the aggregate gradation or asphalt binder
content of the JMF requires approval of the Engineer. Adjustments to the JMF will only be
11/12/2020
147
considered if the change produces material of equal or better quality and may require the
development of a new mix design if the adjustment exceeds the amounts listed below.
a. Aggregates –2 percent for the aggregate passing the 1½″, 1″, ¾″, ½″, ⅜″, and the No. 4
sieves, 1 percent for aggregate passing the No. 8 sieve, and 0.5 percent for the aggregate
passing the No. 200 sieve. The adjusted JMF shall be within the range of the control points
in Section 9-03.8(6).

content. The maximum adjustment from the approved mix design for the asphalt binder
content shall be 0.3 percent
5-04.3(9)A Vacant
5-04.3(9)B Vacant
5-04.3(9)C Mixture Acceptance – Nonstatistical Evaluation
HMA mixture which is accepted by Nonstatistical Evaluation will be evaluated by the Contracting
Agency by dividing the HMA tonnage into lots.
5-04.3(9)C1 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Lots and Sublots
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested for
acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job Mix
Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s production or
800 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 400 tons and may be
increased to 1200 tons.
All of the test results obtained from the acceptance samples from a given lot shall be evaluated
collectively. If the Contractor requests a change to the JMF that is approved, the material produced
after the change will be evaluated on the basis of the new JMF for the remaining sublots in the current
lot and for acceptance of subsequent lots. For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will
begin at the Contractor’s request after the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the
Specifications can be produced.
Sampling and testing for evaluation shall be performed on the frequency of one sample per sublot.
5-04.3(9)C2 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation Sampling
Samples for acceptance testing shall be obtained by the Contractor when ordered by the Engineer.
The Contractor shall sample the HMA mixture in the presence of the Engineer and in accordance with
AASH-TO T 168. A minimum of three samples should be taken for each class of HMA placed on a
project. If used in a structural application, at least one of the three samples shall be tested.
Sampling and testing HMA in a Structural application where quantities are less than 400 tons is at the
discretion of the Engineer.
For HMA used in a structural application and with a total project quantity less than 800 tons but more
than 400 tons, a minimum of one acceptance test shall be performed. In all cases, a minimum of 3
11/12/2020
148
samples will be obtained at the point of acceptance, a minimum of one of the three samples will be
tested for conformance to the JMF:
If the test results are found to be within specification requirements, additional testing will be at the
Engineer’s discretion.
If test results are found not to be within specification requirements, additional testing of the remaining
samples to determine a Composite Pay Factor (CPF) shall be performed.
5-04.3(9)C3 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
Testing of HMA for compliance of Va will at the option of the Contracting Agency. If tested, compliance
of Va will use WSDOT SOP 731.
Testing for compliance of asphalt binder content will be by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 308.
Testing for compliance of gradation will be by FOP for WAQTC T 27/T 11.
5-04.3(9)C4 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Pay Factors
For each lot of material falling outside the tolerance limits in 5-04.3(9), the Contracting Agency will
determine a Composite Pay Factor (CPF) using the following price adjustment factors:
Table of Price Adjustment Factors
Constituent Factor “f”
All aggregate passing: 1½″, 1″, ¾″, ½″, ⅜″ and No.4
sieves
2
All aggregate passing No. 8 sieve 15
All aggregate passing No. 200 sieve 20
Asphalt binder 40
Air Voids (Va) (where applicable) 20
Each lot of HMA produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation and having all constituents falling within
the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with no further
evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the nonstatistical tolerance limits in the Job
Mix Formula shown in Table of Price Adjustment Factors, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with
Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The nonstatistical tolerance limits will be used in the
calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup
11/12/2020
149
samples of the existing sublots or samples from the Roadway shall be tested to provide a minimum of
three sets of results for evaluation.
5-04.3(9)C5 Vacant
5-04.3(9)C6 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Price Adjustments
For each lot of HMA mix produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation when the calculated CPF is less than
1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals the algebraic
difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The total job mix compliance price adjustment
will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and the unit
Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will
be considered 1.00 in calculating the Composite Pay Factor (CPF).
5-04.3(9)C7 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Retests
The Contractor may request a sublot be retested. To request a retest, the Contractor shall submit a
written request within 7 calendar days after the specific test results have been received. A split of the
original acceptance sample will be retested. The split of the sample will not be tested with the same
tester that ran the original acceptance test. The sample will be tested for a complete gradation
analysis, asphalt binder content, and, at the option of the agency, Va. The results of the retest will be
used for the acceptance of the HMA in place of the original sublot sample test results. The cost of
testing will be deducted from any monies due or that may come due the Contractor under the Contract
at the rate of $500 per sample.
5-04.3(9)D Mixture Acceptance – Commercial Evaluation
If sampled and tested, HMA produced under Commercial Evaluation and having all constituents falling
within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with no
further evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the commercial tolerance limits in the
Job Mix Formula shown in 5-04.3(9), the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to
determine the appropriate CPF. The commercial tolerance limits will be used in the calculation of the
CPF and the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the
existing sublots or samples from the street shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results
for evaluation.
For each lot of HMA mix produced and tested under Commercial Evaluation when the calculated CPF
is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals the
algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The Job Mix Compliance Price
Adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and
the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will
be considered 1.00 in calculating the Composite Pay Factor (CPF).

5-04.3(10) HMA Compaction Acceptance
HMA mixture accepted by nonstatistical evaluation that is used in traffic lanes, including lanes for
intersections, ramps, truck climbing, weaving, and speed change, and having a specified compacted
course thickness greater than 0.10-foot, shall be compacted to a specified level of relative density. The
specified level of relative density shall be a Composite Pay Factor (CPF) of not less than 0.75 when
evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2, using an LSL of 92.0 (minimum of 92 percent of the
maximum density). The maximum density shall be determined by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 729. The
specified level of density attained will be determined by the evaluation of the density of the pavement.
The density of the pavement shall be determined in accordance with WSDOT FOP for WAQTC TM 8,
except that gauge correlation will be at the discretion of the Engineer, when using the nuclear density
gauge and WSDOT SOP 736 when using cores to determine density.
Tests for the determination of the pavement density will be taken in accordance with the required
procedures for measurement by a nuclear density gauge or roadway cores after completion of the
finish rolling.
If the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test procedures FOP
for WAQTC TM 8 and WSDOT SOP T 729 will be used on the day the mix is placed and prior to opening
to traffic.
Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the Contractor in
accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches minimum, unless otherwise
approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by the Contracting Agency in accordance with
WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166.
If the Contract includes the Bid item “Roadway Core” the cores shall be obtained by the Contractor in
the presence of the Engineer on the same day the mix is placed and at locations designated by the
Engineer. If the Contract does not include the Bid item “Roadway Core” the Contracting Agency will
obtain the cores.
For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after
the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than
those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train.
The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The
number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point
density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used for preleveling wheel rutting
shall be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
Test Results
For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the minimum of 92
percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF below 1.00 and thus subject
to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request that a core be used for determination of
the relative density of the sublot. The relative density of the core will replace the relative density
determined by the nuclear density gauge for the sublot and will be used for calculation of the CPF and
11/12/2020
151
acceptance of HMA compaction lot.
When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they shall be
requested by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have been provided or
made available to the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of wheel paths and as determined by
the Engineer. Traffic control shall be provided by the Contractor as requested by the Engineer. Failure
by the Contractor to provide the requested traffic control will result in forfeiture of the request for
cores. When the CPF for the lot based on the results of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost for
the coring will be deducted from any monies due or that may become due the Contractor under the
Contract at the rate of $200 per core and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the traffic control.
5-04.3(10)A HMA Compaction – General Compaction Requirements
Compaction shall take place when the mixture is in the proper condition so that no undue
displacement, cracking, or shoving occurs. Areas inaccessible to large compaction equipment shall be
compacted by other mechanical means. Any HMA that becomes loose, broken, contaminated, shows
an excess or deficiency of asphalt, or is in any way defective, shall be removed and replaced with new
hot mix that shall be immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area.
The type of rollers to be used and their relative position in the compaction sequence shall generally
be the Contractor’s option, provided the specified densities are attained. Unless the Engineer has
approved otherwise, rollers shall only be operated in the static mode when the internal temperature
of the mix is less than 175°F. Regardless of mix temperature, a roller shall not be operated in a mode
that results in checking or cracking of the mat. Rollers shall only be operated in static mode on bridge
decks.
5-04.3(10)B HMA Compaction – Cyclic Density
Low cyclic density areas are defined as spots or streaks in the pavement that are less than 90 percent
of the theoretical maximum density. At the Engineer’s discretion, the Engineer may evaluate the HMA
pavement for low cyclic density, and when doing so will follow WSDOT SOP 733. A $500 Cyclic Density
Price Adjustment will be assessed for any 500-foot section with two or more density readings below
90 percent of the theoretical maximum density.
5-04.3(10)C Vacant
5-04.3(10)D HMA Nonstatistical Compaction
5-04.3(10)D1 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Lots and Sublots
HMA compaction which is accepted by nonstatistical evaluation will be based on acceptance testing
performed by the Contracting Agency dividing the project into compaction lots.
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested for
acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job Mix
Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s production or
400 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 200 tons and may be
increased to 800 tons. Testing for compaction will be at the rate of 5 tests per sublot per WSDOT T
11/12/2020
152
738.
The sublot locations within each density lot will be determined by the Engineer. For a lot in progress
with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the Engineer is satisfied
that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than
those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train.
The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The
number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point
density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used to prelevel wheel ruts shall be
compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
5-04.3(10)D2 HMA Compaction Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
The location of the HMA compaction acceptance tests will be randomly selected by the Engineer from
within each sublot, with one test per sublot.
5-04.3(10)D3 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Price Adjustments
For each compaction lot with one or two sublots, having all sublots attain a relative density that is 92
percent of the reference maximum density the HMA shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with
no further evaluation. When a sublot does not attain a relative density that is 92 percent of the
reference maximum density, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine
the appropriate CPF. The maximum CPF shall be 1.00, however, lots with a calculated CPF in excess of
1.00 will be used to offset lots with CPF values below 1.00 but greater than 0.90. Lots with CPF lower
than 0.90 will be evaluated for compliance per 5-04.3(11). Additional testing by either a nuclear
moisture-density gauge or cores will be completed as required to provide a minimum of three tests
for evaluation.
For compaction below the required 92% a Non-Conforming Compaction Factor (NCCF) will be
determined. The NCCF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 40 percent.
The Compaction Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of CPF, the quantity of HMA in the
compaction control lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
5-04.3(11) Reject Work
5-04.3(11)A Reject Work General
Work that is defective or does not conform to Contract requirements shall be rejected. The Contractor
may propose, in writing, alternatives to removal and replacement of rejected material. Acceptability
of such alternative proposals will be determined at the sole discretion of the Engineer. HMA that has
been rejected is subject to the requirements in Section 1-06.2(2) and this specification, and the
Contractor shall submit a corrective action proposal to the Engineer for approval.
11/12/2020
153
5-04.3(11)B Rejection by Contractor
The Contractor may, prior to sampling, elect to remove any defective material and replace it with new
material. Any such new material will be sampled, tested, and evaluated for acceptance.
5-04.3(11)C Rejection Without Testing (Mixture or Compaction)
The Engineer may, without sampling, reject any batch, load, or section of Roadway that appears
defective. Material rejected before placement shall not be incorporated into the pavement. Any
rejected section of Roadway shall be removed.
No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the materials unless the
Contractor requests that the rejected material be tested. If the Contractor elects to have the rejected
material tested, a minimum of three representative samples will be obtained and tested. Acceptance
of rejected material will be based on conformance with the nonstatistical acceptance Specification. If
the CPF for the rejected material is less than 0.75, no payment will be made for the rejected material;
in addition, the cost of sampling and testing shall be borne by the Contractor. If the CPF is greater than
or equal to 0.75, the cost of sampling and testing will be borne by the Contracting Agency. If the
material is rejected before placement and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, compensation for
the rejected material will be at a CPF of 0.75. If rejection occurs after placement and the CPF is greater
than or equal to 0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at the calculated CPF with an
addition of 25 percent of the unit Contract price added for the cost of removal and disposal.
5-04.3(11)D Rejection - A Partial Sublot
In addition to the random acceptance sampling and testing, the Engineer may also isolate from a
normal sublot any material that is suspected of being defective in relative density, gradation, or asphalt
binder content. Such isolated material will not include an original sample location. A minimum of three
random samples of the suspect material will be obtained and tested. The material will then be
statistically evaluated as an independent lot in accordance with Section 1-06.2(2).
5-04.3(11)E Rejection - An Entire Sublot
An entire sublot that is suspected of being defective may be rejected. When a sublot is rejected a
minimum of two additional random samples from this sublot will be obtained. These additional
samples and the original sublot will be evaluated as an independent lot in accordance with Section 1-
06.2(2).
5-04.3(11)F Rejection - A Lot in Progress
The Contractor shall shut down operations and shall not resume HMA placement until such time as
the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced:

The Contractor shall conduct operations such that the placing of the top or wearing course is a
continuous operation or as close to continuous as possible. Unscheduled transverse joints will be
allowed and the roller may pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture only when the
placement of the course must be discontinued for such a length of time that the mixture will cool
below compaction temperature. When the Work is resumed, the previously compacted mixture shall
be cut back to produce a slightly beveled edge for the full thickness of the course.
A temporary wedge of HMA constructed on a 20H:1V shall be constructed where a transverse joint as
a result of paving or planing is open to traffic. The HMA in the temporary wedge shall be separated
from the permanent HMA by strips of heavy wrapping paper or other methods approved by the
Engineer. The wrapping paper shall be removed and the joint trimmed to a slightly beveled edge for
the full thickness of the course prior to resumption of paving.
The material that is cut away shall be wasted and new mix shall be laid against the cut. Rollers or
tamping irons shall be used to seal the joint.
5-04.3(12)A2 Longitudinal Joints
The longitudinal joint in any one course shall be offset from the course immediately below by not
more than 6 inches nor less than 2 inches. All longitudinal joints constructed in the wearing course
shall be located at a lane line or an edge line of the Traveled Way. A notched wedge joint shall be
constructed along all longitudinal joints in the wearing surface of new HMA unless otherwise approved
by the Engineer. The notched wedge joint shall have a vertical edge of not less than the maximum
aggregate size or more than ½ of the compacted lift thickness and then taper down on a slope not
steeper than 4H:1V. The sloped portion of the HMA notched wedge joint shall be uniformly
compacted.

and the details shown in the Standard Plans.
5-04.3(13) Surface Smoothness
The completed surface of all courses shall be of uniform texture, smooth, uniform as to crown and
grade, and free from defects of all kinds. The completed surface of the wearing course shall not vary
more than ⅛-inch from the lower edge of a 10-foot straightedge placed on the surface parallel to the
centerline. The transverse slope of the completed surface of the wearing course shall vary not more
than ¼-inch in 10 feet from the rate of transverse slope shown in the Plans.
When deviations in excess of the above tolerances are found that result from a high place in the HMA,
the pavement surface shall be corrected by one of the following methods:
1. Removal of material from high places by grinding with an approved grinding machine, or
2. Removal and replacement of the wearing course of HMA, or
3. By other method approved by the Engineer.
Correction of defects shall be carried out until there are no deviations anywhere greater than the
allowable tolerances.
Deviations in excess of the above tolerances that result from a low place in the HMA and deviations
resulting from a high place where corrective action, in the opinion of the Engineer, will not produce
satisfactory results will be accepted with a price adjustment. The Engineer shall deduct from monies
due or that may become due to the Contractor the sum of $500.00 for each and every section of single
traffic lane 100 feet in length in which any excessive deviations described above are found.
When utility appurtenances such as manhole covers and valve boxes are located in the traveled way,
the utility appurtenances shall be adjusted to the finished grade prior to paving. This requirement may
be waived when requested by the Contractor, at the discretion of the Engineer or when the adjustment
details provided in the project plan or specifications call for utility appurtenance adjustments after the
completion of paving.
Utility appurtenance adjustment discussions will be included in the Pre-Paving planning (5-
04.3(14)B3). Submit a written request to waive this requirement to the Engineer prior to the start of
paving.

Locations of existing surfacing to be planed are as shown in the Drawings.
Where planing an existing pavement is specified in the Contract, the Contractor must remove existing
surfacing material and to reshape the surface to remove irregularities. The finished product must be
a prepared surface acceptable for receiving an HMA overlay.
Use the cold milling method for planing unless otherwise specified in the Contract. Do not use the
planer on the final wearing course of new HMA.
Conduct planing operations in a manner that does not tear, break, burn, or otherwise damage the
surface which is to remain. The finished planed surface must be slightly grooved or roughened and
must be free from gouges, deep grooves, ridges, or other imperfections. The Contractor must repair
any damage to the sur-face by the Contractor’s planing equipment, using an Engineer approved
method.
Repair or replace any metal castings and other surface improvements damaged by planing, as
determined by the Engineer.
A tapered wedge cut must be planed longitudinally along curb lines sufficient to provide a minimum
of 4 inches of curb reveal after placement and compaction of the final wearing course. The dimensions
of the wedge must be as shown on the Drawings or as specified by the Engineer.
A tapered wedge cut must also be made at transitions to adjoining pavement surfaces (meet lines)
where butt joints are shown on the Drawings. Cut butt joints in a straight line with vertical faces 2
inches or more in height, producing a smooth transition to the existing adjoining pavement.
After planing is complete, planed surfaces must be swept, cleaned, and if required by the Contract,
patched and preleveled.
The Engineer may direct additional depth planing. Before performing this additional depth planing,
the Contractor must conduct a hidden metal in pavement detection survey as specified in Section 5-
04.3(14)A.
5-04.3(14)A Pre-Planing Metal Detection Check
Before starting planing of pavements, and before any additional depth planing required by the
Engineer, the Contractor must conduct a physical survey of existing pavement to be planed with
equipment that can identify hidden metal objects.
Should such metal be identified, promptly notify the Engineer.
See Section 1-07.16(1) regarding the protection of survey monumentation that may be hidden in
pavement.
The Contractor is solely responsible for any damage to equipment resulting from the Contractor’s

impacted, keep such closure to the minimum time required to place and compact the
HMA mixture, plane, remove asphalt, tack coat, and as needed.
d. Any work in an intersection requires advance warning in both signage and a number of
Working Days advance notice as determined by the Engineer, to alert traffic and
emergency services of the intersection closure or partial closure.
e. Allow new compacted HMA asphalt to cool to ambient temperature before any traffic is
allowed on it. Traffic is not allowed on newly placed asphalt until approval has been
obtained from the Engineer.
2. Temporary centerline marking, post-paving temporary marking, temporary stop bars, and
maintaining temporary pavement marking must comply with Section 8-23.
3. Permanent pavement marking must comply with Section 8-22.

The contractor in all cases can remove the pavement in the replacement area instead of grinding out
the specified two inches (2”) of asphalt. Full pavement replacement to meet or exceed the existing
pavement depth will be required for the area of pavement removal.
The Engineer may determine in the field that a full street-width (edge-of-pavement to edge-of-
pavement) overlay is required due to changes in the permit conditions such as, but not limited to the
following:
1. There has been damage to the existing asphalt surface due to the contractor's equipment.
2. The trench width was increased significantly, or the existing pavement is undermined or
damaged.
3. Any other construction related activities that require additional pavement restoration.
All street surfaces, walks or driveways within the street trenching areas shall be feathered and
shimmed to an extent that provides a smooth-riding connection and expeditious drainage flow for
the newly paved surface.
Feathering and shimming shall not decrease the minimum vertical curb depth below four inches (4")
for storm water flow. The Engineer may require additional grinding to increase the curb depth
available for storm water flow in areas that are inadequate. Shimming and feathering, as required by
the Engineer, shall be accomplished by raking out the oversized aggregates from the Class B mix as
appropriate.
Surface smoothness shall be per Section 5-04.3(13) of the Standard Specifications. The paving shall
be corrected by removal and repaving of the trench only. Asphalt patch depths will vary based upon
the streets being trenched.

7-09.3(15)A Ductile Iron Pipe
Section 7-09.3(15) is revised to read as follows:
Long radius curves with radius of 400 feet or more, either horizontal or vertical, pipe may be laid with
standard pipe lengths by deflecting the joints. If the pipe is shown curved on the Plans and no special
fittings are shown, the Contractor can assume that the curves can be made by deflecting the joints
with standard lengths of pipe. If shorter lengths are required, the Plans will indicate maximum lengths
that can be used. The amount of deflection at each pipe joint when pipe is laid on a horizontal or
vertical curve shall not exceed 50% of the manufacturer’s printed recommended deflections. The
Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the pipe manufacturer's joint deflection recommendations
prior to pipe installation indicating deflections are within allowable AWWA specification tolerances.
Where field conditions require deflection or curves not anticipated by the Plans, the Engineer will
determine the methods to be used. No additional payment will be made for laying pipe on curves as
shown on the Plans, or for field changes involving standard lengths of pipe deflected at the joints.
When additional fittings not shown on the Plans are required to meet field conditions, payment will
be made under a separate bid item for additional fittings.
When rubber gasketed pipe is laid on a curve, the pipe shall be jointed in a straight alignment and
then deflected to the curved alignment. Trenches shall be made wider on curves for this purpose.
Where pipe installation on curves requires the use of special fittings, wedge type restrained follower
glands and concrete blocking shall be used per Section 7-09.3(21).
Where restrained joint pipe is installed on a curve, the Contractor shall submit the pipe
manufacturer’s recommendations to the Engineer for approval.
7-09.3(15)B Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe (4 inches and Over)
Section 7-09.3(15)B is supplemented as follows:

7-09.3(23) Hydrostatic Pressure Test
Section 7-09.3(23) is revised to read as follows:
The Contractor shall prepare a Testing and Disinfection Plan for review by the Engineer. The Plan shall
provide detail on which segments of the water lines will be tested together and in which order. Submit
this plan a minimum of 20 days prior to the first scheduled test. The Plan shall describe all elements
of pressure testing, flushing, pigging, and disinfection.
Water main and appurtenances including service connections to the meter setter shall be tested in
sections of convenient length under a hydrostatic pressure equal to 150 psi in excess of that under
which they will operate or in no case shall the test pressure be less than 225 psi at the highest point
on the water main. Pumps, gauges, plugs, saddles, corporation stops, miscellaneous hose and piping,
and measuring equipment necessary for performing the test shall be furnished and operated by the
Contractor.
The Contractor shall obtain a hydrant meter permit from the City by completing a permit application
and making the required security deposits. The Contractor shall use the City’s issued hydrant meter
with an attached backflow prevention assembly to draw water from the City’ water system to fill the
water mains for poly-pigging, testing, cleaning, disinfection and for subsequent flushing purposes.
There will be a charge for the water used for filling, testing, cleaning and disinfection of the water
mains.
Sections to be tested shall normally be limited to 1,500 feet or less. The Engineer may require that
the first section of pipe, not less than 1,000 feet in length, installed by each of the Contractor’s crews,
11/12/2020
194
be tested in order to qualify the crew and the materials. Pipe laying shall not be continued more than
an additional 1,000 feet until the first section has been tested successfully.
The pipeline shall be backfilled sufficiently to prevent movement of the pipe under pressure. Thrust
blocks shall be in place and time allowed for the concrete to cure before testing. Where permanent
blocking is not required, the Contractor shall furnish and install temporary blocking and remove it
after testing.
Before applying the specified test pressure, the water main shall be slowly filled, and air shall be
expelled completely from the pipe, valves and hydrants. If permanent air vents are not located at all
high points, the contractor shall install corporation cocks at such points so that the air can be expelled
as the line is filled with water. After all the air has been expelled, the corporation cocks shall be closed,
and the test pressure applied. At the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks shall be
removed and plugged.
The Contractor shall perform a leakage test concurrently with the pressure test. The pressure test
shall be conducted for a 2-hour period.
The test shall be accomplished by pumping the main up to the required pressure, stopping the pump
for 2 hours, and then pumping the main up to the test pressure again. During the test, the section
being tested shall be observed to detect any visible leakage.
A clean container shall be used for holding water for pumping up pressure on the main being tested.
This makeup water shall be sterilized by the addition of chlorine to a concentration of 50 mg/l.
The acceptability of the pressure test and leakage test will be determined by two factors as follows:
1. The loss in pressure shall not exceed 5 psi during the 2-hour test period.
2. The quantity of water lost from the main and appurtenances shall not exceed the number of
gallons during the 2-hour test period as listed in the following table.
11/12/2020
195
Allowable leakage in gallons per 1000 ft. of pipeline* for a 2-hour test period

200 0.42 0.64 0.85 1.06 1.28 1.70 2.12 2.55
*If the pipeline under test contains sections of various diameters, the allowable leakage will be the
sum of the computed leakage for each size. For those diameters or pressures not listed, the formula
below shall be used:
The quantity of water lost from the main shall not exceed the number of gallons per hour as
determined by the formula:
L= SD√P__
266,400
where:
L = Allowable leakage in gallons/hour
S = Gross length of pipe tested, feet
D = Nominal diameter of the pipe in inches
P = Test pressure during the leakage test in psi
The quantity of water required to restore the pressure shall be accurately determined by either 1)
pumping from an open container of suitable size such that accurate volume measurements can be
made by the Engineer or, 2) by pumping through a positive displacement water meter with a sweep
unit hand registering one (1) gallon per revolution. The meter shall be approved by the Engineer.
Pressure gauges used in the test shall be accompanied with certifications of accuracy from a testing
Laboratory approved by the Engineer.
11/12/2020
196
Any visible leakage detected shall be corrected by the Contractor regardless of the allowable leakage
specified above. Should the tested section fail to meet the pressure test successfully as specified, the
Contractor shall, at no additional expense to the Contracting Agency, locate and repair the defects
and then retest the pipeline.
All tests shall be made with the hydrant auxiliary gate valves open and pressure against the hydrant
inlet valve. After the test is completed, each valve shall be tested by closing each in turn and relieving
the pressure beyond. This test of the valve will be acceptable if there is no immediate loss of pressure
on the gauge when the pressure comes against the valve being checked. The Contractor shall verify
that the pressure differential across the valve does not exceed the rated working pressure of the valve.
Prior to calling out the Engineer to witness the pressure test, the Contractor shall have all equipment
set up completely ready for operation and shall have successfully performed the test to ensure that
the pipe is in satisfactory condition.
Defective materials or workmanship, discovered as a result of hydrostatic field test, shall be replaced
by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Contracting Agency. Whenever it is necessary to
replace defective material or correct the workmanship, the hydrostatic test shall be re -run at the
Contractor’s expense until a satisfactory test is obtained.

the State.
If approved by the Engineer and by the local authority responsible for the sanitary sewer system,
disposal of treated water from mains may be made to an available sanitary sewer, provided the rate
of disposal will not overload the sewer.
7-09.3(24)D Dry Calcium Hypochlorite
Section 7-09.3(24)D has been replaced with:
(******)
Dry calcium hypochlorite shall not be placed in the pipe as laid.
7-09.3(24)K Retention Period
Section 7-09.3(24)K has been revised as follows:
(******)
Treated water shall be retained in the pipe at least 24 hours but no longer than 48 hours. After the
retention period, the chlorine residual shall be tested at all pipe extremities and at other
representative points and shall measure at least 25 mg/L. If a measurement of less than 25 mg/L is
obtained repeat disinfection is required.
7-09.3(24)N Final Flushing and Testing
Section 7-09.3(24)N has been revised as follows:
(******)
Following chlorination, treated water shall be flushed from the newly laid pipe until the replacement
water throughout its length shows, upon test, the absence of chlorine. In the event chlorine is
normally used in the source of supply, then the tests shall show a residual not in excess of that carried
in the water supply system. After flushing the treated water from the pipes, a 16-hour rest period is
required before any water quality sampling can be taken from the new pipes.
A sample tap shall be located ahead of the flushing hose for convenience and for sanitary sampling.
Before placing the lines into service, and after a 16-hour rest period, two sets of satisfactory reports
taken at least 15 minutes apart from each sampling point shall be received from the local or State
Health Department or from a State accredited testing laboratory on samples collected from
representative points in the new system. Samples will be collected, and bacteriological tests obtained
by the Engineer.
At a minimum, chlorinated water shall be dechlorinated to a concentration of 0.1 parts per million
(ppm) or less, and pH adjustment to within 6.5 to 8.5 standard units, if necessary, before discharging
to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer system that drains to surface waters of the State.

7-20.3(3) Waste Material Disposal
Prior to commencing with any cleaning work, the Contractor shall be responsible for making
arrangements to dispose of all waste materials removed from the sewers during the cleaning
operation at an approved off-site location.
Trucks hauling waste from the site shall be watertight so that no leakage or spillage will occur. Under
no circumstances shall waste removed from a sewer main segment be dumped onto the ground
surface or streets, or into catch basins, or storm drains.
7-20.3(4) CCTV Inspection
The Contractor shall perform a CCTV inspection after cleaning the sewer lines to document the
condition of the host pipe, verify the footages of side sewer connections, and verify the line s were
cleaned in accordance with these specifications.
In order to allow for an accurate analysis of the condition of the existing sewer main/host pipe, the
Contractor shall ensure that the entire surface of the sewer main under inspection is clearly visible.
When the depth of sewage, which may be caused by existing defects such as sags, offsets, voids, etc.,
obstructs the ability of the Engineer to clearly view the sewer main/host pipe surface, the Contractor
shall halt the inspection and remove sewage from the main using high-velocity jetting machines, or
other non-destructive methods acceptable to the Engineer. Once the main section under inspection
is clear of sewage the inspection may resume.

217
If incoming flows are sufficient to obstruct the ability of the Engineer to clearly view the entire surface
of the sewer main/host pipe under inspection, the Contractor shall temporarily plug all incoming flows
to the upstream manhole, and bypass pump around the plugged segment and the sewer main
segment under inspection. Bypass pumping from the upstream manhole shall be utilized in
accordance with Section 7-17.3 of these specifications and shall be incidental to the unit price for CCTV
cleaning and inspection.
Flows introduced by laterals are unavoidable and expected, however, should these flows introduce
sufficient sewage to obscure the visibility of the pipe, the Contractor shall halt the inspection until the
sewage has been removed.
If the Contractor should find rocks and sediments, roots, grease, grout, protruding laterals, hanging
gaskets, or other obstructions that would otherwise prevent the installation of the liner, they shall halt
the inspection and remove said obstructions prior to completing the CCTV inspection. If internal
cleaning, and or obstruction removal is not possible due to the type of materials causing the
obstruction, or fragile condition of the existing sewer main/host pipe, the Contractor shall note this in
his lining feasibility determination on the inspection report.
The Contractor shall maintain a clean and clear lens for the duration of the CCTV inspection. Should
the lens become soiled, fogged, or otherwise impaired to any degree that impedes the ability to clearly
see the condition of the pipe, the Contractor shall halt the inspection and clean/clear the lens of any
foreign matter impeding the visual inspection. No additional compensation will be made for re-
inspections required by the Engineer due to soiled, fogged, or otherwise impaired camera lenses.
The Contractor shall maintain sufficient light levels within the main to allow for visual inspection of
the pipe walls for a minimum distance of three (3) feet in front of the camera lens for all 8” to 10”
pipe, and four (4) feet for all pipes sizes 12” and up. Additionally, the Contractor shall make certain
that the light levels are not so bright the visual inspection is impeded.
Should the camera get stuck in the sewer, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs in extracting
it. Costs related to difficulties encountered during internal video inspection are incidental to the
contract, and claims will not be considered.
CCTV inspections shall be performed in accordance with 7-17.3(2)H.
7-20.3(5) Lining Feasibility
Prior to submitting a Pre-Installation Inspection DVD and associated inspection report, the Contractor
shall review all information on the DVD and in the report. The CCTV inspection DVD for each sewer
main segment shall be viewed in its entirety to ensure there were no missed service connections or
pipe defects during the CCTV inspection, as well as to ensure the quality of the DVD.
Based on the Contractor’s review he/she will make a lining feasibility determination. The Contractor’s
review and lining feasibility determination shall be documented on both the inspection report and the
Video Inspection Tracking Log.
The Contractor, in cooperation with the Engineer, is responsible for determining whether or not a
sewer main segment is suitable for CIPP lining. The Contractor shall not install a CIPP liner in any sewer
main segment with existing defects that interfere with or cause a reduction in hydraulic capacity, or
11/12/2020
218
which may hinder in any way the quality of installation of the CIPP liner system. The Contractor’s
assessment of whether or not a sewer main segment is suitable for lining shall be noted on each
inspection report, as well as the Video Inspection Tracking Log, and presented to the Engineering with
Pre-Installation inspection submittals. If the Engineer agrees with the assessment, the sewer main
segment will be lined or removed from the contract accordingly.
The following sewer main pipe defects and conditions shall be considered as guidelines when
performing CCTV inspection review and making lining feasibility assessments:
1. Sags: Any section of a sewer main segment that has a sag which causes sewage levels to
continuously reach one third (1/3) pipe or greater, and which is longer than ten (10) feet in
length shall be noted on the Video Inspection Tracking Log and presented to the Engineer. The
Engineer shall make the final determination of whether the sag is acceptable or needs repair
prior to lining. In the event that a repair is necessary, the entire sewer main segment shall be
removed from the contract.
2. Protruding Laterals: Any side sewer lateral that encroaches beyond the inside diameter of the
sewer main host pipe shall be considered a protruding lateral. The Contractor shall take
appropriate measures to internally remove that portion of the lateral that is protruding. The
method used to remove the protrusion shall not be destructive to that portion of the side
sewer lateral outside of the inside surface of the sewer main host pipe, and shall result in a
smooth, non-jagged edge which will not hinder in any way the quality of the installation of
the CIPP liner system. If the Contractor is unable to remove the protruding lateral, it shall be
noted on the inspection report and Video Inspection Tracking Log and presented to the
Engineer. The Engineer shall make the final determination of whether the protruding lateral
is acceptable or needs repair prior to lining. In the event that a repair is necessary, the entire
sewer main segment may be removed from the contract by the Owner. Internal removal of
protruding laterals shall be incidental to the bid item “Pre-Installation Cleaning and
Inspection”.
3. Bends and Curves: If, in the opinion of the Contractor, there exists a section in the sewer main
segment with bends or curves which may prevent lining operations, or future CCTV
inspections after a liner has been installed, or which may hinder in any way the quality of
installation of the CIPP liner system, it shall be noted on the inspection report and Video
Inspection Tracking Log and presented to the Engineer. The Engineer shall review the defect
and, if warranted, may remove the sewer main segment from the contract.
4. Offset Joints: Any joint that is offset by more than one half (1/2) on an inch in an 8 -inch
diameter pipe or one (1) inch in a 10-inch diameter or larger pipe shall be noted on the
inspection report and Video Inspection Tracking Log and presented to the Engineer. The
Engineer shall review the defect and make a final determination of whether the offset is
acceptable or needs to be repaired prior to lining.
5. Roots and Hanging Gaskets: The Contractor is required to remove all roots and hanging
gaskets within the sewer main pipe as a part of the cleaning operations. If there are any roots
growing into the main from a side sewer lateral the Contractor shall take measures to cut them
back to the point that they are no longer in the main. The Contractor shall note these
occurrences on the inspection report and Video Inspection Tracking Log.
11/12/2020
219
6. Other Defects: Any other defects in a sewer main segment that, in the Contractor’s opinion,
will impede the Contractor’s ability to clean and/or line to the level of quality required within
these contract provisions shall be noted on the inspection report and Video Inspection
Tracking Log and presented to the Engineer. The Engineer shall review the defect and, if
warranted, remove the sewer main segment from the contract.
7-20.3(6) Active/Inactive Lateral Assessments
Based on existing information and the Pre-Installation Inspection DVD/Report, the Engineer shall
determine the active/inactive status of all side sewer lateral connections to a sewer main segment.
Every side sewer lateral shall be given a status of active or inactive and that status shall be recorded
on the Main Segment Cut Sheet.
Main Segment Cut Sheets will be provided to the Contractor within ten (10) working days after the
receipt of the Pre-Installation submittal in printed format. The “Cut Sheets” will be developed after
the Engineer has reviewed the Pre-Installation CCTV Inspection DVDs, and associated inspection
reports. The Engineer will note the lateral footages (as determined in the CCTV inspection),
active/inactive status of the side sewer lateral connection, and the clock position of the laterals on the
cut sheet.
The Contractor shall only reinstate laterals that are identified by the Engineer as being active. If the
Contractor reinstates a lateral that is inactive, the Contractor has effectively introduced a point for
inflow and infiltration (I/I) to enter the sewer main segment. In this circumstance the Contractor shall
perform an appropriate internal or external spot repair to remove this potential source of I/I at their
own expense. Spot repair methods and materials shall be approved by the Engineer prior to
implementation.
If the Contractor fails to reinstate an active side sewer lateral, the Contractor shall reinstate the lateral
at their expense. The Contractor shall be held financially liable for all claims for damages resulting
from the missed reinstatement.

2.1.THE GEOTEXTILE USED MUST MEET THE STANDARD LISTED BELLOW. A COPY OF THE MANUFACTURER'S FABRIC SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE AVAILABLE ON SITE.
2.2.STANDARD STRENGTH FABRIC REQUIRES WIRE BACKING TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE FENCE. WIRE BACKING OR CLOSER POST SPACING MAY BE REQUIRED
FOR EXTRA STRENGTH FABRIC IF FIELD PERFORMANCE WARRANTS A STRONGER FENCE.
2.3.WHERE THE FENCE IS INSTALLED, THE SLOPE SHALL NOT BE STEEPER THAN 2H:1V
2.4.IF A TYPICAL SILT FENCE IS USED, THE STANDARD 4"X4" TRENCH MAY BE REDUCED AS LONG AS THE BOTTOM 8 INCHES OF THE SILT FENCE FABRIC IS WELL BURIED AND
SECURE IN A TRENCH THAT STABILIZES THE FENCE AND DOES NOT ALLOW WATER TO BYPASS OR UNDERMINE THE SILT FENCE.
2.5.FILTER FABRIC FENCES SHALL BE INSTALLED ALONG CONTOURS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
3.MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
3.1.ANY DAMAGE SHALL BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.
3.2.IF CONCENTRATED FLOWS ARE EVIDENT UPHILL OF THE FENCE, THEY MUST BE INTERCEPTED AND CONVEYED TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR POND.
3.3.IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE UPHILL SIDE OF THE FENCE FOR SIGNS OF THE FENCE CLOGGING AND ACTING AS A BARRIER TO FLOW AND THEN CAUSING
CHANNELIZATION OF FLOWS PARALLEL TO THE FENCE. IF THIS OCCURS, REPLACE THE FENCE OR REMOVE THE TRAPPED SEDIMENT.
3.4.SEDIMENT MUST BE REMOVED WHEN SEDIMENT IS 6 INCHES HIGH.
3.5.IF THE FILTER FABRIC (GEOTEXTILE) HAS DETERIORATED DUE TO ULTRAVIOLET BREAKDOWN, IT SHALL BE REPLACED.

Where shown on the plans or in the specifications or required by
the Engineer, joint restraint system (shackle rods) shall be used.
All joints restraint materials used shall be those manufactured by
Star National Products, 1323 Holly Avenue, PO Box 258,
Columbus,. Ohio 43216 unless an equal alternate is approved in
writing by the Engineer.
Materials
Steel Types:
High strength low—alloy steel (cor—ten),
ASTM A588 heat—treated.
1. Tebolt:
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tielbolt
SST 7 5/8" for 2" and 3" mechanical joints (M.J.) with eye for 5/8" rod
SST 7 3/4" for 4" to 12" M.J. with eye for 3/4" rod
SST 756: 3/4" for 14" to 24" M.J. with eye for 3/4" rod
SST 747: 3/4" for 4" to 12" M.J. with eye for 7/8" and 1" rod
SST 757: 3/4" for 14" to 24" M.J. with eye for 7/8" and 1" rod
SST 778: 1" for 30" to 36" M.J. with eye for 1" rod
2.Tienut: Hex Nut
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tienut
SS8 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" Tiebolt and Tierod
3.Tiecoupling with Tiestop Pin
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tiecoupling
SS10 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" Tierod
4. Tierod:
Continuous threaded rod for cutting to desired lengths
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tierod
SS12 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1"
5. Tiewasher
ASTM A588, Grade B, Cor—Ten, equal to SuperStar Tiewasher
SS17 for 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" round flat washer
Installation:
Install the joint restraint system in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions so all joints are mechanically locked together to prevent joint
separation.
Tiebolts shall be installed to pull against the mechanical joint body and
not the M.J. follower. Torque nuts at 75-90 foot pounds for 3/4" nuts.
Install tiecouplings with both rods threaded equal distance into
tiecouplings. Arrange tierods symmetrically around the pipe.
Where a Manufacturer's mechanical joint valve or fitting is supplied with

Archaeological Monitoring Plan 1 April 2020
1 Introduction
The City of Renton (City) is planning to upgrade existing water, sewer, and stormwater utility systems
in downtown Renton, King County, Washington. The Renton Downtown Utility Improvements Project
(Project) consists of replacing, rehabilitating, and upsizing existing water, sewer, and stormwater
infrastructure as well as associated surface improvements (paving). The Project area is approximately
50 acres in size and located in downtown Renton (Figure 1).
The Project is locally funded and has been reviewed under the Washington State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA), led by the City. SEPA includes consideration of cultural and historic resources,
defined as archaeological sites and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) or the Washington Heritage Register (WHR). For the purposes of this document, a
significant resource is one that is eligible for listing in the NRHP or WHR.
The Project includes work in areas with elevated potential for encountering archaeological resources,
including within or near the boundaries to two identified archaeological sites. However, the Project
area is paved and includes existing utilities (and occurs partially within active roadways), so
archaeological testing could not occur prior to construction. SEPA analysis is expected to require
archaeological monitoring during construction to ensure appropriate treatment of intact significant
artifacts or deposits, if any exist. This Archaeological Monitoring Plan (AMP) describes how
monitoring will be conducted.
2 Archaeological Potential
2.1 Environmental and Cultural Context
The environmental and cultural context of downtown Renton has been thoroughly documented in
recent reports. Relevant reports include the following:
•Renton Downtown Utility Improvements Project Cultural Resources Assessment (Bundy 2018)
•Archaeological Survey for the Proposed Renton Commons Project, King County, Washington
(Kramer et al. 2016)
•Renton High School Indian Site (45KI501) Archaeological Data Recovery, King County,
Washington (Lewarch 2006)
•Cultural Resources Assessment for the Parkside at 95 Burnett Development, Renton, King
County, Washington (Hodges and Piston 2004)
•Renton High School Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places Assessment, King
County, Washington (Kramer et al. 2001)
The interested reader is referred to these reports for detailed information on environmental and cultural
context. Summarized relevant results for archaeological monitoring purposes are described below.

Renton High School
Project Area
Archaeological Monitoring Plan 3 April 2020
Prior to historic land modifications, the Cedar River joined the Black River just north of what is now
downtown Renton. At that time, the Black River was Lake Washington’s outflow to Puget Sound
(since the construction of the Montlake Cut in 1916, Lake Washington outflows to the northwest via
Lake Union). Native sediments in the Project area are part of a “broad alluvial fan” deposited
primarily by the braided, meandering Cedar River (Hodges and Piston 2004).
This alluvial fan was used and occupied by Duwamish Native American communities, as
demonstrated in ethnographic sources, historical maps, and archaeological research. At least two and
possibly three village sites have been described or depicted in the vicinity, including the following:
•skah-TELBSH (SkEte’lubc) or TuxE’b-qo just south of the confluence of the Cedar and Black
rivers on what is now the Renton High School campus, the southern part of the Renton
Airport, and surrounding area (Buerge 1985; Hilbert et al. 2001)
•Tuxudidû3, an important village near what is the Renton Shopping Center at 365 Renton Center
Way Southwest, approximately 0.25 miles west of the southern extent of the Project area
(Hilbert et al. 2001)
•A historic Duwamish settlement occupied between the 1860s and early twentieth century,
located near Tuxudidû3 (or possibly these are the same village described at different time
periods; Hodges and Piston 2004)
A number of other place-names are recorded, including the home of the Duwamish Moses family in
the vicinity of southwest corner of the Renton High School ball field. The density of important
ethnographic locations demonstrates the intensive use of the area by the Duwamish, which is also
reflected in the archaeological record.
Significant historic and modern disturbance has occurred in the Project area. Major disturbances
include the following:
•Channelization of the Cedar River in 1912 to flow into Lake Washington, resulting in the
deposition of spoils onto the uplands
•U.S. Army Corps of Engineers construction of embankments along the Cedar River
•Deposition of Renton Coal Mine slag onto the wetlands once located around the outlet of
Lake Washington
•Construction of the Montlake Cut and subsequent disappearance of the upper Black River in
1916, followed by filling at the river’s former location
•Grading and filling in the downtown area for construction of streets and buildings
•Installation of various utilities
These activities have disturbed or buried archaeological materials in parts of the downtown Renton
area.
Archaeological Monitoring Plan 4 April 2020
2.2 Recorded Archaeological Sites
Two archaeological sites are partially within the current Project area, and two others are in close
proximity.
Site 45KI1010, the Renton High School Ball Field Site, extends into the Project area where it crosses
South 2nd Street between Shattuck Avenue South and Rainier Avenue South. The site, identified in
shovel probes, consists of Loci A and B (Shong 2011). Locus A consists of stratified alluvially derived
deposits with lithic artifacts, present in the upper 20 to 60 centimeters (0.75 to 2 feet) below the
ground surface. Locus A is the portion of the site that appears to cross into the current Project area.
Locus B consists of stratified shell midden deposits between 140 and 220 centimeters (4.5 to
7.25 feet) below the ground surface (Shong 2011).
Site 45KI587, named Dexudidew, or the Little Cedar River Fishing Site, is in the Project area, in the
parking lot of the Safeway store at 200 South 3rd Street. The site consists of two occupation surfaces
separated by alluvial deposits, occurring between 46 and 60 centimeters below the ground surface
(Lewarch 2004).
Site 45KI501, the Renton High School Indian Site, is immediately north of the Project area in front of
the high school at 400 South 2nd Street. It is a precontact site “composed of multiple [precontact]
occupations and flood event strata that are not continuous throughout the whole of the [high
school] property” (Kramer et al. 2001:24). Archaeological strata are present between about 50 and
400 centimeters (1.5 to 13 feet) below the ground surface (Lewarch 2006).
All three of the above sites are in the vicinity of skah-TELBSH (SkEte’lubc)/TuxE’b-qo village and the
near the Moses home site. All three sites were observed during construction or shovel testing for
specific projects. Therefore, the site boundaries have not been determined and the potential
relationship between the three sites has not been investigated.
A fourth site in the vicinity also offers some information about stratigraphy. 45KI051, the Sbabadid
site, is located at the Plum Tree Park apartment complex at 200 Southwest 5th Place. This is
immediately west of the Renton Shopping Center, and about 0.3 miles west of the southern extent of
the Project. Archaeological materials were observed at six loci between about 100 and
500 centimeters (3 to 16.5 feet) below the ground surface (Chatters 1981). The remains of a child
were also found at this site. This site is near Tuxudidû3 and the Duwamish settlement occupied in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Recorded archaeological sites mostly correspond with the location of studies. For example, the
portion of the Project area east of Burnett Street has no recorded sites, but also no surveys.
Archaeological Monitoring Plan 5 April 2020
The stratigraphy of these sites, together with historical and ethnographic information, indicates the
following:
1.Archaeological materials are likely to be present beneath an upper 1 to 1.5 feet of fill where
previous excavation has not disturbed them.
2.Due to the history of intense occupation and river flood deposition, archaeological materials
may also be present anywhere in the Cedar River alluvial fan, as deep as 16 feet below the
ground surface or more where previous excavation has not disturbed them.
3.Fill is likely to be deeper closer to the current Cedar River channel, where channelization fill was
deposited.
Archaeological monitoring, therefore, should occur where undisturbed sediments deeper than about
1 foot below the ground surface may be excavated.
3 Archaeological Monitoring
Archaeological monitoring will be conducted by an experienced field archaeologist (the
archaeological monitor). Monitoring and reporting will be supervised by a principal investigator
meeting the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards (the Project archaeologist).
Monitoring will occur during ground disturbance that is:
•Deeper than 1 foot below surface, and
•Potentially within native sediments
The monitor has the authority to stop ground-disturbing work if cultural materials are observed (see
Section 3.5 for detailed description of cultural materials). For areas not monitored, the archaeological
monitor and Project archaeologist will be on-call to evaluate inadvertent discoveries. An Inadvertent
Discovery Plan (IDP) is provided as Attachment 1. The IDP will be maintained on site at all times.
3.1 Project Description
The Project consists of replacing, rehabilitating, and upsizing existing water, sewer, and stormwater
infrastructure as well as associated surface restoration (paving). The Project area includes work within
the right of way of the following streets:
•East-west streets
‒ South 2nd Street between Rainier Avenue South and the Renton Library on the Cedar
River
‒ South 3rd Street between Rainier Avenue South and Burnett Street
‒ Sunset Avenue Southwest, from 300 feet west of Rainier Avenue South to the
intersection with Rainier Avenue South
Archaeological Monitoring Plan 6 April 2020
•North-south streets
‒ Shattuck Avenue South between Houser Way South and South 2nd Street
‒ Whitworth Avenue South, Morris Avenue South, and Burnett Avenue South between
South 3rd Street and South 2nd Street
‒ Mill Avenue South between Houser Way South and Bronson Way South
Work will also occur in Safeway parking lot at 200 South 3rd Street (in the block bounded by Rainier
Avenue South, South 3rd Street, Shattuck Street South, and South 2nd Street).
Utilities will be placed in open trenches, many of them in the same location as existing utilities. In
some areas, work will consist of excavation to expose the existing utility line, removal of the existing
line, and installation of new pipe in the footprint. Where this will occur, no new ground disturbance is
expected. There may also be new trench excavation (not in the footprint of existing utilities) that is
expected to occur within the demonstrated limits of fill or disturbed sediments.
In other areas, work will occur in the footprint of existing utilities, but excavation is expected to
extend deeper than the limits of previous disturbance (fill or disturbed sediments). This would occur
where new pipes are larger than existing lines, and where direction has changed.
Finally, there will be some work in locations where there are not existing utilities and native
sediments may be encountered in new trenches.
Attachment 2 is a comprehensive map of existing and planned utilities that demonstrates where
native sediments may be encountered in existing or new alignments.
3.2 Monitored Areas
For the purposes of archaeological monitoring, the Project area has been divided into segments
based on the potential to encounter native sediments as described in the section above (Figure 2).
The sections are numbered 1 through 22 generally from west to east.
No monitoring is planned for sections 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 18, 20, 21, and 22. In those sections, the Project
includes only work in the footprint of existing utilities, with no excavation horizontally or vertically
outside the existing trench. If any archaeological materials are encountered during construction in
these areas (due to artifacts in disturbed sediments, or accidental over-excavation), provisions of the
IDP will apply.
Monitoring will occur in the remaining 13 sections where native sediments may be encountered in
excavation. If multiple utilities are planned in a section, and only one is expected to encounter native
sediments, only that excavation requires monitoring. For excavations requiring monitoring, the
archaeological monitor will be present at each area of excavation. If excavation is occurring at more

Archaeological Monitoring Plan 8 April 2020
than one location at the same time, the locations must either be close enough to be visible to one
monitor, or a monitor must be present at each location.
All excavation will be monitored in these sections, unless and until the monitor, in coordination with
the Project archaeologist and the Project team, determines that further monitoring in the section is
unnecessary. This situation may occur where initial work determines that the excavation is completely
within fill or disturbance, and the landform indicates that this is likely the case throughout the
section. This may occur, for example, close to the Cedar River where fill is likely to be thick due to
disposal of excavated sediments from channelization, but detailed subsurface information is not
currently available.
3.3 Tribal Consultation and Coordination
Tribal consultation under SEPA has been conducted by the City. The Project archaeologist for the
archaeological monitoring will notify tribal cultural resources staff as far in advance as possible of
dates and times of archaeological monitoring. Section 3.5 below includes a description of
consultation regarding any cultural resources that are located.
3.4 Communication
The Project team will provide the Project archaeologist with a minimum of 1-week schedule look-
aheads for advanced coordination with the archaeological monitor and tribal cultural resources staff.
Additionally, the archaeological monitor will communicate daily with the on-site management team
to determine what ground disturbance activities need to be monitored. The monitor will coordinate
with the Project archaeologist to ensure that times and locations of monitoring are consistent with
the contractor’s schedule.
3.5 Procedures for the Discovery of Cultural Materials
Cultural materials are items produced or modified by humans. The monitor will note any cultural
materials encountered, including a brief description and a photograph.
3.5.1 Modern Items
If clearly modern materials (less than 50 years old) are encountered, work will continue with no delay.
Examples of materials that can be considered de facto modern are plastics, cans and bottles (with
modern labels or markings), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and garbage such as candy wrappers.
3.5.2 Historic Artifacts and Features
If historic items are encountered, the monitor will determine whether the items may be significant.
Significance is determined based on whether items are found together in a historic feature. An
isolated historic (or possibly historic) item will not be considered significant unless it is of obvious
Archaeological Monitoring Plan 9 April 2020
exceptional interest (e.g., a Roman coin). Faunal remains that are clearly historic, such as bones from
domesticated species, will not be considered significant unless they are in association with artifacts.
If a historic artifact is encountered that the monitor determines is not significant based on the above
criteria, the monitor will photograph the item and describe it in field notes. The artifact will not be
collected, nor will any member of the construction team be permitted to take the item. It will be
disposed of with the sediment in which it was found, or as determined by the Project team.
If a significant historic item is encountered or a collection of items are encountered that are clearly in
association and may be part of a historic feature (such as a spatially and temporally bounded refuse
deposit), the monitor will stop construction, document the find, and notify the Project archaeologist
and the City Project manager. The find will be photographed, measured, described, and mapped
within safe work parameters. The City will consult with the Department of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation (DAHP) and Native American tribes to determine the significance of the find and what
mitigation measures will be implemented. Mitigation could include the development of an
archaeological treatment plan and subsequent data recovery excavation.
3.5.3 Precontact Artifacts and Features
If any artifacts or features are encountered that may be associated with precontact Native American
use, the monitor will stop construction, document the find, and notify the Project archaeologist and
the City Project manager. The find will be photographed, measured, described, and mapped within
safe work parameters. The City will consult with DAHP and Native American tribes to determine the
significance of the find and what mitigation measures will be implemented. Mitigation could include
the development of an archaeological treatment plan and subsequent data recovery excavation.
3.5.4 Human Remains
Procedures that must be followed in the event of discovery of potential human remains are
described in the attached IDP.
3.6 Work Stoppage
If the monitor stops work because of a potentially significant find, no further ground-disturbing work
will occur in that segment until coordination with the Project archaeologist, Project team, and (if
necessary) DAHP and Native American tribes has occurred and the City has authorized work in that
segment to resume. Work in other segments may proceed.

1 Introduction
The City of Renton (City) is planning to upgrade existing water, sewer, and stormwater utility systems
in downtown Renton, King County, Washington. The Renton Downtown Utility Improvements Project
(Project) consists of replacing, rehabilitating, and upsizing existing water, sewer, and stormwater
infrastructure as well as associated surface improvements (paving). The Project area is approximately
50 acres in size and generally includes work at the following locations (Figure 1):
•East-West Streets
‒South 2nd Street between Rainier Avenue South and the Renton Library on the Cedar
River
‒South 3rd Street between Rainier Avenue South and Burnett Street
‒Sunset Ave SW, from 300 feet west of Rainier Avenue South to the intersection with
Rainier Avenue South
•North-South Streets
‒Shattuck Avenue South between Houser Way South and South 2nd Street
‒Whitworth Avenue South, Morris Avenue South, and Burnett Avenue South between
South 3rd Street and South 2nd Street
‒Mill Avenue South between Houser Way South and Bronson Way South
‒Safeway parking lot at 200 South 3rd Street
The Project is locally funded and has been reviewed under the Washington State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA). SEPA includes consideration of cultural and historic resources, defined as
archaeological sites and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP) or the Washington Heritage Register (WHR). The Project includes work in areas with elevated
potential for encountering archaeological resources. However, the Project area is paved and includes
existing utilities (and occurs partially within active roadways), so archaeological testing could not
occur prior to construction.
Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 27.53 prohibits unpermitted disturbance of an archaeological
site and RCW 68.60.055 describes requirements in the event that human remains are encountered.
This Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) describes procedures in the event that archaeological materials
or human remains are encountered, to guide compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
For the purposes of protecting inadvertent discoveries, the Project area has been divided into
segments (Figure 2). If an inadvertent discovery occurs in a segment, work will not resume in the
segment until treatment of the discovery has been completed following the provisions of this
section. Work may continue in other segments, provided the work does not have the potential to
impact the discovery.

Inadvertent Discovery Plan 4 January 2020
2 Procedures for the Discovery of Archaeological Resources
If a construction team member believes that he or she has inadvertently uncovered an archaeological
resource or possible resource, all work at or adjacent to the discovery shall immediately stop. The
area of work stoppage will be adequate to provide for the security, protection, and integrity of the
archaeological discovery. Vehicles, equipment, and unauthorized personnel will not be permitted to
traverse the discovery site.
A resource discovery could be prehistoric or historic in age and consist of any of the following:
•Areas of charcoal or charcoal-stained soil and stones
•Stone tools or waste flakes (i.e., an arrowhead or stone chips)
•Animal bones, burned rocks, or mollusk shells, whether or not seen in association with stone
tools or chips
•Tin cans, ceramics, flat glass or bottles, concentrations of brick, or logging or agricultural
equipment
The construction team member will immediately notify the archaeological monitor, if a monitor is
on-site at the time, and the City’s Project Manager (see Section 4, Contact Information). The Project
Manager (or designee) is responsible for all other contacts and coordination. Under no
circumstances should the construction team contact federal or state agencies, tribes, or the media.
The Project Manager will arrange for a qualified professional archaeologist to visit the work site to
determine if the find is potentially significant (eligible for listing in the NRHP or WHR).
If the archaeologist determines that the find is NOT archaeological or is clearly not significant, work
may resume immediately with no further delay.
If the archaeologist determines that the find is potentially significant, the City will contact the
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and affected Native American tribes
(See Section 4, Contact Information).
The City will consult with DAHP and the tribes to determine significance and appropriate treatment.
The City, in consultation with DAHP and the tribes, will decide when construction may resume at the
discovery location.
No artifact shall be removed or taken by any construction crew member, regardless of archaeological
significance or the disposition of the artifact. If a significant resource is encountered and the
mitigation includes excavation or removal of the archaeological materials, the plan will specify
collection and curation requirements. If potential artifacts are removed from the site for analysis and
later determined ineligible, the Project Archaeologist will dispose of the material.
Inadvertent Discovery Plan 5 January 2020
3 Procedures for the Discovery of Human Remains
The procedures described here are mandated by Washington State Law (RCW 68.60.055).
If materials are discovered that may be human remains, all work shall stop at the location where the
discovery was made. Potential human remains should be covered and not handled. The work
stoppage area will be sufficient to protect the discovery from further damage, expected to be the
segment where the discovery was made unless circumstances indicate otherwise. Activity at that
location shall not resume until treatment of the discovery has been completed as follows:
The Project Manager shall contact the Renton Police Department (RPD). RPD will assume jurisdiction
upon arrival, and the King County Medical Examiner will determine if the remains are forensic (a
crime scene). If the remains are forensic, the Medical Examiner will control the discovery and no work
may resume at the location until RPD transfers control back to the City.
If the remains are not forensic (i.e., the remains are archaeological), the Medical Examiner will notify
the State Physical Anthropologist at DAHP. DAHP will take jurisdiction over the remains and will
notify appropriate cemeteries and affected tribes of the discovery.
The Project Manager may choose to coordinate independently with the tribes at any time, even prior
to the Medical Examiner’s determination.
The State Physical Anthropologist will determine if the remains are Native American or not, and will
notify any appropriate cemeteries and affected tribes of the determination. DAHP will lead all
consultation with the affected parties regarding the future preservation, excavation, and disposition
of the remains.
Construction may resume in the work stoppage area as determined during consultation.

Proposed Construction Activities (1.2)
Description of site development (example: subdivision):
The City of Renton plans to upgrade existing water, sewer, and stormwater utility systems as
part of the Downtown Utility Improvement Project (DUIP). Replacement, rehabilitation, and/or
upsizing the individual utilities is planned based on age, capacity needs, condition, and/or
maintenance requirements. Work is within the downtown area of Renton and is confined to the
City right-of-way or utility easements. Approximately 5,700 linear feet of storm drain pipe and
103 catch basin and manhole structures are proposed. Water pipe replacement will be
approximately 3,500 linear feet. The sewer will be the largest portion of the work with
approximately 7,500 linear feet of pipe and 37 new manholes proposed.
Description of construction activities (example: site preparation, demolition, excavation):
Existing asphalt pavement will be cut and removed. Utility trenches will be excavated and
stabilized as needed with trench boxes, shoring, and dewatering equipment. Soils will be
removed from the site and disposed of properly. Structural backfill will be imported and used to
backfill the utility trenches. The asphalt pavement will be replaced with like material.
Construction is expected to begin in 2020 and conclude in 2022.
Description of site drainage including flow from and onto adjacent properties. Must be consistent
with Site Map in Appendix A:
Stormwater within the study area drains either to the Cedar River to the north or the Black River
to the southwest. The study area is approximately 185 acres in size, of which approximately 69
acres (37%) lie within the Cedar River Basin and approximately 116 acres (63%) lie within the
Black River Basin. Within the study area, seven drainage basins were identified and named
according to their location: Logan, Williams, Wells, Main, Old City Hall, Lake and Shattuck. Five
study area trunk lines outfall to the Cedar River to the northeast and two trunk lines discharge
toward the Black River towards the south and west.
Soils in the project area are anticipated to consist of variable quality fill, alluvium, and glacial till.
Fill may consist of well compacted material free of organics (engineered fills) or poorly
compacted materials containing organics, timbers, debris, and other unknown objects
(undocumented fills). The anticipated thickness of the fill layer varies but may be on the order of
10 feet where present. Mapping at the 1:500,000 scale indicates that the project area is
underlain by a variety of native soils ranging from alluvium to till-like glacial drifts. The alluvium
materials, interbedded silty sands and sandy silts with organic silts and peat, likely range from
50 to 80 feet thick. Below this, soils are anticipated to transition onto glacial drift deposits, which
consist of till-like dense sandy gravel and gravelly sand, with cobbles and boulders strewn
within.
The geology of some portions of the site are impacted by the former Black River, which dried up
after construction of the Montlake Cut was completed in 1916. Much of the old river channel
have been backfilled since. The western-most portion of the planned utilities in South 2nd and
3rd Streets traverse the former Black River channel.
Groundwater is reported to range from as shallow as 4 feet below ground surface
to as deep as 20 feet, with the average depth of about 12 feet. The depth to groundwater is
expected to vary with seasonal changes in rainfall and surface runoff, impacts of local
development, nearby leaking utilities, and the level of the Cedar River.
Description of final stabilization (example: extent of revegetation, paving, landscaping):
The City of Renton plans to upgrade existing utility systems including water, stormwater and
sewer. This involves trenching existing pavement and asphalt. The water, stormwater and
sewer routes are located within paved roadways which will be repaved. Where minor
connections are made to existing pipes located outside of paved areas, restoration will match
the current surfacing. Once construction is completed the street will be restored to existing, or
better than existing, conditions. Revegetation and landscaping are not planned for this project
but if construction disturbs vegetation around the road, it will be restored to preconstruction
conditions, or better.
Contaminated Site Information:
Proposed activities regarding contaminated soils or groundwater (example: on-site treatment
system, authorized sanitary sewer discharge):
Table 1, above, shows the known pollutants on the project site. The geotechnical engineer,
Kleinfelder, is currently developing an impacted materials management workplan for use during
construction activities. The plan will be based on the contaminants discovered, their depth and
approximate locations, and will provide methodology to identify and properly manage impacted
soil and/or groundwater identified prior to or during construction. The workplan is being be
developed in concert with City staff in order to understand and account for the anticipated
construction methods, current City materials management protocols, materials staging options,
etc.
Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (2.0)
The SWPPP is a living document reflecting current conditions and changes throughout the life
of the project. These changes may be informal (i.e. hand-written notes and deletions). Update
the SWPPP when the CESCL has noted a deficiency in BMPs or deviation from original design.
The 13 ESC Measures (2.1)
Element 1: Clearing Limits (2.1.1)
List and describe BMPs:
D.2.1.1.1 Plastic or Metal Fence – Install fencing to (1) restrict clearing to approved limits; (2)
prevent disturbance of critical areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be left
undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated construction entrances or roads; and (4)
protect areas where marking with survey tape may not provide adequate protection.
D.3.4.1: Mark Clearing Limits/Minimize Clearing-- Preserving Natural Vegetation can be done by
preserving trees, shrubs, grasses, and other vegetation adjacent to the existing roadway. The
natural vegetation will be marked and avoided. The Project occurs in an existing roadway and
sidewalk, and will disturb very little vegetation.
Installation Schedules: Prior to soil disturbance
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain weekly, or if damage or impaired
visibility occurs.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 2: Cover Measures (2.1.2)
List and describe BMPs:

Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 5: Sediment Retention (2.1.5)
List and describe BMPs:
D.2.1.5.3: Storm Drain Inlet Protection – Storm drain inlets are protected to prevent coarse
sediment from entering storm drainage systems. Filter fabric protection and catch basin inserts
will be used as necessary to prevent coarse sediment from entering the storm drain system.
Installation Schedules: Prior to construction
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain weekly, except during storm event,
when they will be inspected daily. Remove accumulated
sediment.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 6: Surface Water Collection (2.1.6)
List and describe BMPs: The disturbed area will be small enough to be treated solely with
perimeter protection, therefore surface water collection measures are not required.
Installation Schedules: N/A
Inspection and Maintenance plan: N/A
Responsible Staff: N/A
Element 7: Dewatering Control (2.1.7)
List and describe BMPs:
Dewatering water will be discharged to sanitary sewer with approval from King County and the
City of Renton. A sedimentation bag or tank may be used to reduce sediment discharge.
Installation Schedules: Prior to construction
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain weekly, except during storm event,
when they will be inspected daily
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 8: Dust Controls (2.1.8)
List and describe BMPs:
Generally, soils will not be exposed on site for long durations, which will limit drying and dust.
When required, water will be used for dust control. Exposed, dry soils will be sprayed until wet
but not to the point that any runoff is generated. Soils will be resprayed as needed as they dry
out.
Installation Schedules: As conditions require
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 9: Flow Control (2.1.9)
List and describe BMPs:
Surface water from disturbed areas will be discharged to sanitary sewer to prevent an increase
in the peak discharge from the site during construction.
Element 10: Control Pollutants (2.2)
List and describe BMPs:
D.2.2.1 Concrete Handling -- Prevent concrete slurry and process water from entering surface
water.
D.2.2.2 Concrete Washout Area -- Use only approved washout facility and follow appropriate
washout procedures.
D.2.2.3 Saw Cutting and Surface Pollution Prevention – This process prevents slurry from
entering surface water. This includes disposing of slurry properly. Vacuum slurry and cuttings
during cutting and surfacing operations.
D.2.2.4 Material Delivery, Storage and Containment – Store materials in safe areas with
secondary containment, with appropriate covers. Supply a spill kit and MSDS sheets on site.
Installation Schedules: Prior to pollutant generating activities
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain weekly
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 11: Protect Existing and Proposed Stormwater Facilities and
On-Site BMPs (2.1.10)
List and describe BMPs:
Erosion and sediment control BMPs will be installed and maintained to protect stormwater
facilities. Any sediment accumulation during construction will be removed to ensure full
functionality of all stormwater facilities.
Installation Schedules: Prior to disturbance
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain weekly
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 12: Maintain Protective BMPs (2.1.11)
D.2.2.10 Maintain Protective BMPs - All temporary and permanent Erosion and Sediment
Control (ESC) BMPs shall be maintained and repaired as needed to ensure continued
performance of their intended function.
Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP
specification (see City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual).
Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the
site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to
once every calendar month.
All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is
achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on-site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal
of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following
completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If
sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility
shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.
Element 13: Manage the Project (2.1.12)
D2.2.11 Manage the Project - The project will be managed based on the following principles:
• Projects will be phased to the maximum extent practical and seasonal work limitations
will be taken into account.
• Inspection and monitoring:
o Inspection, maintenance and repair of all BMPs will occur as needed to ensure
performance of their intended function.
• Maintain an updated SWPPP.
o The SWPPP will be updated, maintained, and implemented in accordance with
Special Conditions S3, S4, and S9 of the CSWGP.
• Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) shall have the skills and
experience to conduct site inspections and correct any identified problems.
As site work progresses the SWPPP will be modified routinely to reflect changing site
conditions. The SWPPP will be reviewed monthly to ensure the content is current.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill Control (SWPPS) measures will be applied/installed,
and maintained to prevent, reduce, and eliminate the discharge of pollutants to on site or
adjacent storm drain system or onto adjacent properties. SWPPS will address all phase of
construction such as clearing, grading, and installation of storm drain, sewer, and water pipes,
catch basin/MH structures, and water valves. During project construction, SWPPS may be
revised as necessary as directed by City staff to address changing site conditions or
construction activities.
A use of gasoline for refilling excavators and other heavy equipment is anticipated for this
project. A gasoline container on site will have a tide lip and be kept with a secondary
containment. Spill cleanup and response materials will be kept on site at all time. In the event of
a spill, cleaning up the site will be immediately performed. The spill materials after the use will
be disposed in accordance with applicable regulations. Asphalt concrete saw cutting, slurry, and
waste materials removed from the project site (debris and earthwork) will be disposed of in
accordance with applicable regulations.
The construction sequence is expected as follows;
A. Conduct pre-construction meeting
B. Flag or fence clearing limit with high visibility fencing
C. Install catch basin inlet protection, silt fence and other appropriate BMPs
D. Remove existing concrete sidewalk, curb, gutters and open cut trenching
E. Install storm drain pipes, sewer pipes, water pipes, catch basins, MHs and water valves
F. Repair existing concrete sidewalk, curb, and gutters
G. Repair existing pavement, grinding and overlay
H. Maintain erosion and sediment control measure or install new measures if site conditions
change
I. Cover all area that will not be worked more than 7 days during the dry seasons (May1 to
September 30) or for more than two consecutive working day during the wet season (October 1
to April 30)

Monitoring and Sampling Requirements (4.0)
Monitoring includes visual inspection, sampling for water quality parameters of concern, and
documentation of the inspection and sampling findings in a site log book. A site log book will be
maintained for all on-site construction activities and will include:
• A record of the implementation of the SWPPP and other permit requirements
• Site inspections
• Stormwater sampling data
File a blank form under Appendix D.
The site log book must be maintained on-site within reasonable access to the site and be made
available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
Numeric effluent limits may be required for certain discharges to 303(d) listed waterbodies. See
CSWGP Special Condition S8 and Section 5 of this template.
Complete the following paragraph for sites that discharge to impaired waterbodies for fine
sediment, turbidity, phosphorus, or pH:
The receiving waterbody, Cedar River, is impaired for: None. All stormwater and dewatering
discharges from the site are subject to an effluent limit of 8.5 su for pH and/or 25 NTU for
turbidity.
Site Inspection (4.1)
Site inspections will be conducted at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours
following any discharge from the site. For sites that are temporarily stabilized and inactive, the
required frequency is reduced to once per calendar month.
The discharge point(s) are indicated on the Site Map (see Appendix A) and in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the CSWGP.
Stormwater Quality Sampling (4.2)
Turbidity Sampling (4.2.1)
Requirements include calibrated turbidity meter or transparency tube to sample site discharges
for compliance with the CSWGP. Sampling will be conducted at all discharge points at least
once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Table 8 – Turbidity Sampling Method
X Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
X Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
If the discharge’s turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If a turbidity test of surface or storm water entering onsite wetlands, streams, or lakes indicates
a turbidity level greater than 5 NTU above background when the background turbidity is 50 NTU
or less, or 10% above background when the background turbidity is greater than 50 NTU, then
corrective actions and/or additional measures beyond those specified in SWDM Section 1.2.5.1
shall be implemented as deemed necessary by the CED inspector or onsite CSWPP supervisor.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
1. Notify the City by telephone
2. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region’s
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.

pH Sampling (4.2.2)
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e. greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of the project).The use of engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water to the range of 6.5 to 8.5 su using appropriate
technology such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Written approval will be obtained from Ecology prior to the use of chemical treatment
other than CO2 sparging or dry ice.

APPENDIX D
CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION STANDARDS
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL (ESC)
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND SPILL CONTROL (SWPPS)
Construction sites have a potential to pollute stormwater by sediment erosion and by ineffective
management of onsite construction-related activities and materials storage. The Construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention (CSWPP) Plan is comprised of the Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan to
address erosion and sediment control requirements, and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill
Control (SWPPS) Plan to aid effective management of onsite activities and materials.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL (ESC)
The purpose of ESC is to prevent to the maximum extent practicable,1 the transport of sediment to
streams, wetlands, lakes, drainage systems, and adjacent properties during and following construction of a
proposed project or other land disturbing activity.2 In many circumstances it is difficult to completely
prevent the transport of sediment to these features, either because of the difficulty in removing silt and
clay-sized particles from runoff or because of large, infrequent storms that overwhelm the ESC facilities. It
is the responsibility of those involved in the design and construction of any project to utilize a variety of
strategies to minimize erosion and the transport of sediment to the maximum extent practicable. These
strategies shall include overall project planning that reduces the risk of erosion through appropriate design
and scheduling (see Section D.1) and traditional structural and cover measures, such as those described in
Section D.2.1.
Erosion and sediment control is necessary because erosion rates associated with uncontrolled construction
sites are much higher than normal rates—often a thousand or more times that of undeveloped land. The
erosion rates increase during construction due to the removal of soil cover, alteration of soil
characteristics, and changes in site topography. These vastly accelerated erosion rates, together with the
higher rates typical of urbanized areas, result in excessive deposition of sediment in water resources and
drainage facilities. This excessive erosion and consequent sediment deposition can result in devastating
1 Maximum extent practicable means the use of best management practices that are available and capable of being designed,
constructed and implemented in a reliable and effective manner including, but not limited to, consideration of site conditions
and cost.
2 Land disturbing activity means any activity that results in a change in the existing soil cover (both vegetative and non-
vegetative and/or the existing soil topography. Land disturbing activities include, but are not limited to demolition, construction,
clearing, grading, filling, excavation, and compaction. Land disturbing activity does not include tilling conducted as part of
agricultural practices, landscape maintenance, or gardening.

impacts to surface waters such as smothering of salmonid spawning beds, algal blooms in lakes, and
flooding due to obstruction of drainage ways.
Applying erosion and sediment controls to construction sites can greatly reduce the delivery of sediment to
surface waters. The chart on the next page shows how controls can significantly reduce the concentration
of sediment leaving the project site.3 Even with good controls, the concentration of sediment leaving the
site will still be significantly higher than either undeveloped or developed conditions and this may result in
significant adverse impacts; however, the likelihood of such impacts are dramatically less than if no
controls are used.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND SPILL CONTROL (SWPPS)
The purpose of stormwater pollution prevention and spill control is to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the
discharge of pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or watercourses from construction-related
activities such as materials delivery and storage, onsite equipment fueling and maintenance, demolition of
existing buildings and disposition of demolition materials and other waste, and concrete handling, washout
and disposal.
Construction activities usually necessitate the onsite storage of earth-moving vehicles and provision for
parking for contractors and employees. Parking and typical fueling and maintenance can result in fuel
spills and dripping vehicular fluids. Construction practices often involve the use and storage of materials
such as soil treatments, flocculant chemicals, toxic solvents and building materials, and caustic concrete
materials that could cause negative impacts if allowed to leak, drip or otherwise escape into surface and
ground waters or become airborne. Concrete delivery, preparation, handling and disposal occur on most
construction sites. The resultant high pH concrete wastewater from placement and washout operations can
be toxic to aquatic resources and groundwater if left uncaptured or untreated or improperly disposed,
It is the responsibility of those involved in the design and construction of any project to utilize a variety of
strategies to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater runoff. These strategies shall include overall
project planning that reduces the risk of pollution through appropriate site management and project
scheduling (see Section D.1.1) and structural, cover, containment and handling measures, such as those
described in Section D.2.2.
Compliance with Surface Water Quality Requirements RMC 4-6-030
The City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM), (including this Appendix D, Construction
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Standards) and the King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Manual (SPPM) collectively address the surface water quality requirements of the City of Renton
Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-030. While the SWDM addresses impacts from construction, the SPPM spans
construction and post-construction time frames. For full compliance with RMC 4-6-030, the applicant
must address the requirements of the SPPM, which may include permanent structural elements requiring
separate permit review.
Organization of Appendix D
Appendix D is organized as follows:
• Section D.1, “Principles of Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention (CSWPP)”
• Section D.2, “General CSWPP Requirements”
• Section D.3, “Small Site CSWPP”
• Section D.4, “Reference Section”
3 Project site means that portion of a site and any offsite areas subject to proposed project activities, alterations, and
improvements. Site means a single parcel, or two or more contiguous parcels that are under common ownership or
documented legal control, used as a single parcel for purposes of applying for authority from the City of Renton to carry out a
development/project proposal. For projects located primarily within dedicated rights-of-way, site includes the entire width of
right-of-way within the total length of right-of-way subject to improvements proposed by the project.

D.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER
POLLUTION PREVENTION (CSWPP)
D.1.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PRINCIPLES
This section provides basic information on the principles of erosion and sediment control that shall be
applied to all projects in the City of Renton. This section is intended to highlight certain principles that are
particularly critical to achieving effective control and that are the basis for the erosion and sediment
control requirements of the SWDM’s Core Requirement #5: Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention. Projects that are consistent with these principles will generally meet the intent of the ESC
aspects of Core Requirement #5 and this appendix, even if the details of the project are not entirely
consistent with City standards. If a more complete treatment of ESC is needed, there are a number of
useful references available (for example, Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, Goldman et al., 1986).
Additionally, information on permanent erosion control in natural channels is available in the Guidelines
for Bank Stabilization Projects (King County, 1993).
• Design the project to fit the natural topography, soils, and drainage patterns. Through such
practices as limiting disturbance of steeper slopes, avoiding disturbance of natural drainage ways, or
using soils with a high infiltration rate to treat polluted runoff, the characteristics of the site can be
used to minimize erosion and sediment transport.
• Emphasize erosion control rather than sediment control. Erosion control minimizes the
entrainment of sediment by runoff or in the air due to wind, while sediment control removes entrained
sediment from runoff. Erosion control is more efficient and cost-effective because it is nearly
impossible to entirely remove sediment from runoff once it is entrained. Examples of erosion control
include covering disturbed soils and controlling surface runoff using measures such as dikes and lined
ditches. One illustration of the relative effectiveness of erosion control is straw mulch, which can
reduce sediment concentrations in runoff over 90%.
Since it is nearly impossible to entirely prevent erosion, it will also be necessary to incorporate
sediment control facilities such as sedimentation ponds and silt fences. Sediment controls vary in their
effectiveness, but typically reduce sediment concentrations 50 to 75%. However, sediment controls
have little effect on the very fine sediment that causes turbidity, whereas cover measures, such as
straw mulch, can be highly effective in reducing turbidity.
• Minimize the extent and duration of area exposed. Restricting clearing to only those areas
necessary for construction is probably the single most effective form of erosion control. Additionally,
exposing areas only as long as necessary reduces the risk of erosion substantially. This can be
accomplished by planning the project so that areas are disturbed only when construction is imminent,
and by mulching or seeding disturbed areas as soon as grading is completed.
• Keep runoff velocities low. While erosion of exposed soil begins with a single raindrop or the wind,
the largest volumes of eroded materials are typically associated with concentrated runoff forming rills
and gullies. One of the best ways to minimize erosion, therefore, is to reduce the possibility of
concentrated runoff by intercepting runoff and conveying it in a non-erosive manner to a sediment
pond or trap. This can include the use of dikes, swales, and benches to intercept runoff on slopes and
ditches or drains to convey the intercepted runoff.
• Retain sediment on site. Sediment retention is less effective than erosion control measures, such as
cover, but it is nevertheless a vital part of most projects because it is impossible to completely prevent
erosion and the entrainment of sediment by runoff. Sediment can be retained by allowing it to settle
out in ponds and traps or by filtering runoff from small areas through vegetation or use of a silt fence.
Note that settling and filtration typically only remove sand-sized and coarse silt particles. Fine silts
and clays cannot be removed in these ways unless the runoff is released to vegetated areas, or unless
chemical treatment (e.g., with alum or chitosan introduction) or electroflocculation are used.

• Protect all existing and proposed Low Impact Development (LID) on-site BMPs from
sedimentation and compaction during construction. On-site BMPs rely on infiltration into the
native soils onsite. Sedimentation can clog and compaction can reduce the void space in the soil,
lessening the soil’s ability to infiltrate. Effective ESC measures can protect existing stormwater
facilities and on-site BMPs from sedimentation and intrusion by construction activities, while assuring
the areas planned for new BMPs/facilities retain their infiltrative capacity
• Thoroughly monitor the site and maintain all ESC measures. Maintenance and vigilance are the
most vital components of effective ESC management. All measures require regular maintenance,
monitoring and inspection. The overall site also needs to be constantly examined to ensure that all
areas are protected, that the measures are working together to provide maximum protection, and that
all areas are mulched and/or vegetated as soon as possible.
• Schedule major earthwork during the dry season. The climate in the Puget Sound region is unique
in that there are generally well-defined wet and dry seasons (see Figure D.1.1.A) and the wet season 4
is characterized by a large number of low-intensity, but frequent and long-lasting, storms. As a result,
construction in the dry season 5 is a very effective form of erosion control. If construction does occur
in the wet season, the need for regular maintenance is even more imperative.

D.1.2 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND SPILL
CONTROL PRINCIPLES
This section provides basic information on the principles of stormwater pollution prevention and control
that shall be applied to all projects in the City of Renton. This section is intended to highlight certain
principles that commonly apply to construction sites and are particularly critical to achieving effective
control. These principles are the basis for the stormwater pollution prevention and spill control
requirements of the SWDM’s Core Requirement #5: Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention.
Projects that are consistent with these principles will generally meet the intent of the SWPPS aspects of
Core Requirement #5 and this appendix, even if the details of the project are not entirely consistent with
City standards. Additional information and BMP options other than those listed below can be found in the
King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual (SPPM).
• Follow effective pollutant handling and disposal procedures. Conduct handling and disposal of all
pollutants that occur onsite, including waste materials, in a manner that does not cause contamination
of stormwater. Ensure employees are following handling and waste protocols.
• Provide cover and containment for materials, fuel and other pollutants. Cover, contain and
protect from vandalism all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products, and non-inert wastes
present on the site (see Chapter 173-304 WAC for the definition of inert waste). Provide secondary
containment for onsite fueling tanks and as required for other materials.
• Manage the project site to maximize pollutant control and minimize pollutant sources. Limit
onsite parking for construction equipment and contractor vehicles to a designated and controllable
area. Provide drip pans for fueling operations and disallow onsite parking for leaky vehicles. Schedule
construction and maintenance operations to avoid exposing pollutant sources to inclement weather.
Anticipate and prepare traffic routes through the site and limit traffic to those locations.
• Protect from spills and drips of petroleum products and other pollutants. Limit maintenance and
repair of heavy equipment and vehicles to minor maintenance and fueling as much as possible. If
conducting maintenance or repair involving oil changes, hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de-
greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank drain down and removal, and other activities that may result in
discharge or spillage of pollutants to the ground or into stormwater runoff, provide spill prevention
measures, such as drip pans and temporary plastic sheet placed beneath the vehicle. Clean
contaminated surfaces immediately following any discharge or spill incident.
• Avoid overapplication or untimely application of chemicals and fertilizers. Apply agricultural
chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, in a manner and at application rates that will not result
in loss of chemical to stormwater runoff. Plan ahead to avoid application prior to or during inclement
weather.
• Prevent or treat contamination of stormwater runoff by pH modifying sources. These sources
include, but are not limited to, bulk cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete washing and
curing waters, waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing, exposed aggregate
processes, and concrete pumping and mixer washout waters. Stormwater discharges shall not cause or
contribute to a violation of the water quality standard for pH in the receiving water.

D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
To satisfy the City of Renton’s requirements for CSWPP, the following steps are required of all
construction projects:
1. Design the plan: In accordance with Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 of the SWDM, prepare and submit a
technical information report (TIR) and a CSWPP plan (comprised of the ESC plan and the SWPPS
plan) for City review. Utilize the standards and details for ESC (Section D.2.1) and SWPPS control
(Section D.2.2) of this appendix. Incorporate any City of Renton review comments as necessary to
comply with Core Requirement #5, Section 1.2.5 of the SWDM, the Erosion and Sediment Control and
Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill Control Standards in this appendix.
2. Construct the approved plan: Construct initial ESC, SWPPS and stormwater facility (flow control
facility, runoff treatment facility, and on-site BMP) protection measures on site according to the
approved CSWPP plan.
3. Maintain the BMPs: Inspect and maintain all CSWPP measures and stormwater facility (flow control
facility, runoff treatment facility, and on-site BMP) protection throughout construction in accordance
with the inspection and maintenance standards of Section D.2.4.4. Keep current any required
documentation and reporting.
4. Manage the project: Make any changes or additions necessary during construction to ensure that
CSWPP measures and stormwater facility (flow control facility, runoff treatment facility, and on-site
BMP) protection perform in accordance with Core Requirement #5 and Sections D.2.1, D.2.2 and
D.2.4. Coordinate construction in consideration of the applied BMP strategies. Ensure pollutant
controls, facility processes and reporting requirements are met in accordance with Section D.2.3. The
CSWPP supervisor is the primary point of contact for all ESC and SWPPP issues (see
Section D.2.3.1).
5. Conclude the plan: Prior to final construction approval, meet all the conditions in Section D.2.4.5 for
final stabilization.
A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Construction (pursuant
to the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater General Permit) may also be
required for projects that will disturb one or more acres (see SWDM Section 1.2.5.3 for additional
information). Proposed projects subject to Simplified Drainage Review as determined in SWDM
Section 1.1.2.1 may satisfy City of Renton CSWPP requirements by meeting the Small Site CSWPP
requirements specified in Section D.3 and reiterated in Appendix C of the SWDM titled, “Simplified
Drainage Requirements.”
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
This section details the ESC measures that are required to minimize erosion and sediment transport off a
construction site and protect areas of existing and proposed stormwater facilities (flow control facilities,
runoff treatment facilities, and on-site BMPs). These ESC measures represent Best Management Practices
(BMPs)6 for the control of erosion and entrained sediment as well as other impacts related to construction
such as increased runoff due to land disturbing activities. The measures and practices are grouped into nine
sections corresponding to each of the nine categories of ESC measures in Core Requirement #5, Section
1.2.5 of the SWDM. The introductory paragraphs at the beginning each section present the basic
requirement for that category of measures, the purpose of those measures, installation requirements
relative to construction activity, guidelines for the conditions of use, and other information relevant to all
measures in the section/category. Compliance with each of the nine categories of the ESC measures, to the
6 Best Management Practices (BMPs) means the best available and reasonable physical, structural, managerial, or behavioral
activities, that when singly or in combination, eliminate or reduce the contamination of surface and/or ground waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS

D-10
extent applicable and necessary to meet the performance criteria in Section D.2.1, and compliance with the
ESC implementation requirements in Section D.2.4, constitutes overall compliance with the City’s ESC
Standards.
Note: Additional measures shall be required by the City if the existing standards are insufficient to protect
adjacent properties, drainage facilities, or water resources.
The standards for each individual ESC measure are divided into four sections:
1. Purpose
2. Conditions of Use
3. Design and Installation Specifications
4. Maintenance Requirements.
A code and symbol for each measure have also been included for ease of use on ESC plans. Note that the
“Conditions of Use” always refers to site conditions. As site conditions change, ESC measures must be
changed to remain in compliance with the requirements of this appendix.
Whenever compliance with the City’s ESC Standards is required, all of the following categories of ESC
measures must be considered for application to the project site as detailed in the following sections:
1. Clearing Limits: Prior to any site clearing or grading, areas to remain undisturbed during project
construction shall be delineated on the project’s ESC plan and physically marked on the project site.
2. Cover Measures: Temporary and permanent cover measures shall be provided when necessary to
protect disturbed areas. The intent of these measures is to prevent erosion by having as much area as
possible covered during any period of precipitation.
3. Perimeter Protection: Perimeter protection to filter sediment from sheet flow shall be provided
downstream of all disturbed areas prior to upslope grading.
4. Traffic Area Stabilization: Unsurfaced entrances, roads, and parking areas used by construction
traffic shall be stabilized to minimize erosion and tracking of sediment offsite.
5. Sediment Retention: Surface water collected from all disturbed areas of the site shall be routed
through a sediment pond or trap prior to release from the site, except those areas at the perimeter of
the site small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection. Sediment retention facilities shall
be installed prior to grading any contributing area.
6. Surface Water Collection: Surface water collection measures (e.g., ditches, berms, etc.) shall be
installed to intercept all surface water from disturbed areas, convey it to a sediment pond or trap, and
discharge it downstream of any disturbed areas. Areas at the perimeter of the site, which are small
enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection, do not require surface water collection.
Significant sources of upstream surface water that drain onto disturbed areas shall be intercepted and
conveyed to a stabilized discharge point downstream of the disturbed areas. Surface water collection
measures shall be installed concurrently with or immediately following rough grading and shall be
designed, constructed, and stabilized as needed to minimize erosion.
7. Dewatering Control: The water resulting from construction site de-watering activities must be
treated prior to discharge or disposed of as specified.
8. Dust Control: Preventative measures to minimize wind transport of soil shall be implemented when a
traffic hazard may be created or when sediment transported by wind is likely to be deposited in water
resources.
9. Flow Control: Surface water from disturbed areas must be routed through the project’s onsite flow
control facility or other provisions must be made to prevent increases in the existing site conditions
2-year and 10-year runoff peaks discharging from the project site during construction (flow control

facility, runoff treatment facility, and on-site BMP areas [existing or proposed] shall not be used for
this purpose).
10. Control Pollutants: Stormwater pollution prevention (SWPPS) measures are required to prevent,
reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or
watercourses from construction-related activities such as materials delivery and storage, onsite
equipment fueling and maintenance, demolition of existing buildings and disposition of demolition
materials and other waste, and concrete handling, washout and disposal. Section D.2.2 describes
BMPs specific to this purpose; additionally, several of the ESC BMPs described herein are applicable.
11. Protect Existing and Proposed Stormwater Facilities and On-site BMPs: Sedimentation and soil
compaction reduce the infiltration capacity of native and engineered soils. Protection measures shall
be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent adverse impacts to existing stormwater facilities
and on-site BMPs and areas of proposed stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs for the project.
Adverse impacts can prompt the requirement to restore or replace affected stormwater facilities and
on-site BMPs.
12. Maintain Protective BMPs: Protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued
performance of their intended function, to prevent adverse impacts to existing BMPs/facilities and
areas of proposed BMPs/facilities, and protect other disturbed areas of the project.
13. Manage the Project: Coordination and timing of site development activities relative to ESC
concerns, and timely inspection, maintenance and update of protective measures are necessary to
effectively manage the project and ensure the success of protective ESC and SWPPS design and
implementation.
D.2.1.1 CLEARING LIMITS
Prior to any site clearing or grading, those areas that are to remain undisturbed during project construction
shall be delineated. At a minimum, clearing limits shall be installed at the edges of all critical area buffers
and any other areas required to be left uncleared such as portions of the site subject to clearing limits under
RMC 4-4-060, areas around significant trees identified to be retained, on-site BMP areas to be protected,
and other areas identified to be left undisturbed to protect sensitive features.
Purpose: The purpose of clearing limits is to prevent disturbance of those areas of the project site that are
not designated for clearing or grading. This is important because limiting site disturbance is the single
most effective method for reducing erosion. Clearing limits may also be used to control construction
traffic, thus reducing the disturbance of soil and limiting the amount of sediment tracked off site.
When to Install: Clearing limits shall be installed prior to the clearing and/or grading of the site.
Measures to Use: Marking clearing limits by delineating the site with a continuous length of brightly
colored survey tape is sometimes sufficient. The tape may be supported by vegetation or stakes, and it
shall be 3 to 6 feet high and highly visible. Critical areas and their buffers require more substantial
protection and shall be delineated with plastic or metal safety fences or stake and wire fences. Fencing
may be required at the City’s discretion to control construction traffic or at any location where greater
protection is warranted. Permanent fencing may also be used if desired by the applicant. Silt fence, in
combination with survey flagging, is also an acceptable method of marking critical areas and their buffers.
D.2.1.1.1 PLASTIC OR METAL FENCE
Code: FE Symbol:
Purpose
Fencing is intended to (1) restrict clearing to approved limits; (2) prevent disturbance of critical areas, their
buffers, and other areas required to be left undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated
construction entrances or roads; and (4) protect areas where marking with survey tape may not provide
adequate protection.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-12
Conditions of Use
To establish clearing limits, plastic or metal fence may be used:
1. At the boundary of critical areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be left uncleared.
2. As necessary to control vehicle access to and on the site (see Sections D.2.1.4.1 and D.2.1.4.2).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. The fence shall be designed and installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
2. The fence shall be at least 3 feet high and must be highly visible.
3. The fence shall not be wired or stapled to trees.
Maintenance Requirements
1. If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or replaced immediately and
visibility restored.
2. Disturbance of a critical area, critical area buffer, native growth retention area, or any other area
required to be left undisturbed shall be reported to the City for resolution.
D.2.1.2 COVER MEASURES
Temporary and permanent cover measures shall be provided to protect all disturbed areas, including the
faces of cut and fill slopes. Temporary cover shall be installed if an area is to remain unworked for more
than seven days during the dry season (May 1 to September 30) or for more than two consecutive working
days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). These time limits may be relaxed if an area poses a
low risk of erosion due to soil type, slope gradient, anticipated weather conditions, or other factors.
Conversely, the City may reduce these time limits if site conditions warrant greater protection (e.g.,
adjacent to significant aquatic resources or highly erosive soils) or if significant precipitation (see
Section D.2.4.2) is expected. Any area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall be seeded or
sodded, unless the City determines that winter weather makes vegetation establishment infeasible. During
the wet season, slopes and stockpiles at 3H:1V or steeper and with more than ten feet of vertical relief
shall be covered if they are to remain unworked for more than 12 hours. Also during the wet season, the
material necessary to cover all disturbed areas must be stockpiled on site. The intent of these cover
requirements is to have as much area as possible covered during any period of precipitation.
Purpose: The purpose of covering exposed soils is to prevent erosion, thus reducing reliance on less
effective methods that remove sediment after it is entrained in runoff. Cover is the only practical method
of reducing turbidity in runoff. Structural measures, such as silt fences and sediment ponds, are only
capable of removing coarse particles and in most circumstances have little to no effect on turbidity.
When to Install: Any exposed soils that will remain unworked for more than the time limit set above shall
be covered by the end of the working day. If the exposed area is to remain unworked for more than
30 days, the area shall be seeded with the temporary seed mix or an equivalent mix that will provide rapid
protection (see Section D.2.1.2.6). If the disturbed area is to remain unworked for a year or more or if the
area has reached final grade, permanent seed mix or an equivalent mix shall be applied.
Measures to Use: Cover methods include the use of surface roughening, mulch, erosion control nets and
blankets, plastic covering, seeding, and sodding. Mulch and plastic sheeting are primarily intended to
protect disturbed areas for a short period of time, typically days to a few months. Seeding and sodding are
measures for areas that are to remain unworked for months. Erosion nets and blankets are to be used in
conjunction with seeding steep slopes. The choice of measures is left to the designer; however, there are
restrictions on the use of these methods, which are listed in the “Conditions of Use” and the “Design and
Installation Specifications” sections for each measure.
The methods listed are by no means exhaustive. Variations on the standards presented here are encouraged
if other cost-effective products or methods provide substantially equivalent or superior performance. Also,

the details of installation can, and should, vary with the site conditions. A useful reference on the
application of cover measures in the Puget Sound area is Improving the Cost Effectiveness of Highway
Construction Site Erosion and Pollution Control, Horner, Guedry, and Kortenhof (1990).
D.2.1.2.1 SURFACE ROUGHENING
Purpose
The purpose of surface roughening is to aid in the establishment of vegetative cover and to reduce runoff
velocity, increase infiltration, and provide for sediment trapping through the provision of a rough soil
surface. The rough soil surface may be created by operating a tiller or other equipment on the contour to
form horizontal depressions or by leaving slopes in a roughened condition by not fine grading.
Conditions of Use
1. All slopes steeper than 3H:1V and greater than 5 vertical feet require surface roughening.
2. Areas with grades steeper than 3H:1V should be roughened to a depth of 2 to 4 inches prior to
seeding.
3. Areas that will not be stabilized immediately may be roughened to reduce runoff velocity until seeding
takes place.
4. Slopes with a stable rock face do not require roughening.
5. Slopes where mowing is planned should not be excessively roughened.
Design and Installation Specifications
There are different methods for achieving a roughened soil surface on a slope, and the selection of an
appropriate method depends upon the type of slope. Roughening methods include stair-step grading,
grooving, contour furrows, and tracking. See Figure D.2.1.2.A for information on tracking and contour
furrows. Factors to be considered in choosing a method are slope steepness, mowing requirements, and
whether the slope is formed by cutting or filling. Sole reliance on roughening for temporary erosion
control is of limited effectiveness in intense rainfall events. Stair-step grading may not be practical for
sandy, steep, or shallow soils.
1. Disturbed areas that will not require mowing may be stair-step graded, grooved, or left rough after
filling
2. Stair Step grading is particularly appropriate in soils containing large amounts of soft rock. Each
“step” catches material that sloughs from above, and provides a level site where vegetation can
become established. Stairs should be wide enough to work with standard earth moving equipment.
Stair steps must be on contour or gullies will form on the slope.
3. Areas that will be mowed (slopes less steep than 3H:1V) may have small furrows left by disking,
harrowing, raking, or seed-planting machinery operated on the contour.
4. Graded areas with slopes greater than 3H:1V but less than 2H:1V should be roughened before
seeding. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including “track walking” or driving a crawler
tractor up and down the slope, leaving a pattern of cleat imprints parallel to slope contours.
5. Tracking is done by operating equipment up and down the slope to leave horizontal depressions in the
soil.
Maintenance Standards
Periodically check roughened, seeded, planted, and mulched slopes for rills and gullies, particularly after a
significant storm event. Fill these areas slightly above the original grade, then re-seed and mulch as soon
as possible.

D.2.1.2.2 MULCHING
Code: MU Symbol:
Purpose
The purpose of mulching soils is to provide immediate temporary protection from erosion. Mulch also
enhances plant establishment by conserving moisture, holding fertilizer, seed, and topsoil in place, and
moderating soil temperatures. There is an enormous variety of mulches that may be used. Only the most
common types are discussed in this section.
Conditions of Use
As a temporary cover measure, mulch should be used:
1. On disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days
2. As a cover for seed during the wet season and during the hot summer months
3. During the wet season on slopes steeper than 3H:1V with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
Design and Installation Specifications
For mulch materials, application rates, and specifications, see Table D.2.1.2.A. Note: Thicknesses may be
increased for disturbed areas in or near critical areas or other areas highly susceptible to erosion.
Maintenance Standards
1. The thickness of the cover must be maintained.
2. Any areas that experience erosion shall be remulched and/or protected with a net or blanket. If the
erosion problem is drainage related, then the drainage problem shall be assessed and alternate drainage
such as interceptor swales may be needed to fix the problem and the eroded area remulched.

The BFM shall not be applied immediately before,
during or immediately after rainfall so that the
matrix will have an opportunity to dry for 24 hours
after installation. Application rates beyond 2,500
pounds may interfere with germination and are not
usually recommended for turf establishment. BFM
is generally a matrix where all fiber and binders
are in one bag, rather than having to mix
components from various manufacturers to create
a matrix. BFMs can be installed via helicopter in
remote areas. They are approximately $1,000 per

should not be used on slopes above approx. 10%
because of its tendency to be transported by
runoff. It is not recommended within 200 feet of
surface waters. If seeding is expected shortly after
mulch, the decomposition of the chipped
vegetation may tie up nutrients important to grass
establishment.

D.2.1.2.3 NETS AND BLANKETS
Code: NE Symbol:
Purpose
Erosion control nets and blankets are intended to prevent erosion and hold seed and mulch in place on
steep slopes and in channels so that vegetation can become well established. In addition, some nets and
blankets can be used to permanently reinforce turf to protect drainage ways during high flows. Nets are
strands of material woven into an open, but high-tensile strength net (for example, jute matting). Blankets
are strands of material that are not tightly woven, but instead form a layer of interlocking fibers, typically
held together by a biodegradable or photodegradable netting (for example, excelsior or straw blankets).
They generally have lower tensile strength than nets, but cover the ground more completely. Coir (coconut
fiber) fabric comes as both nets and blankets.
Conditions of Use
Erosion control nets and blankets should be used:
1. For permanent stabilization of slopes 2H:1V or greater and with more than 10 feet of vertical relief.
2. In conjunction with seed for final stabilization of a slope, not for temporary cover. However, they may
be used for temporary applications as long as the product is not damaged by repeated handling. In fact,
this method of slope protection is superior to plastic sheeting, which generates high-velocity runoff
(see Section D.2.1.2.4).
3. For drainage ditches and swales (highly recommended). The application of appropriate netting or
blanket to drainage ditches and swales can protect bare soil from channelized runoff while vegetation
is established. Nets and blankets also can capture a great deal of sediment due to their open, porous
structure. Synthetic nets and blankets may be used to permanently stabilize channels and may provide
a cost-effective, environmentally preferable alternative to riprap.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.2.B and Figure D.2.1.2.C for typical orientation and installation of nettings and
blankets. Note: Installation is critical to the effectiveness of these products. If good ground contact is
not achieved, runoff can concentrate under the product, resulting in significant erosion.
2. With the variety of products available, it is impossible to cover all the details of appropriate use and
installation. Therefore, it is critical that the design engineer thoroughly consults the manufacturer’s
information and that a site visit takes place in order to ensure that the product specified is
appropriate.
3. Jute matting must be used in conjunction with mulch (Section D.2.1.2.2). Excelsior, woven straw
blankets, and coir (coconut fiber) blankets may be installed without mulch. There are many other
types of erosion control nets and blankets on the market that may be appropriate in certain
circumstances. Other types of products will have to be evaluated individually. In general, most nets
(e.g., jute matting) require mulch in order to prevent erosion because they have a fairly open structure.
Blankets typically do not require mulch because they usually provide complete protection of the
surface.
4. Purely synthetic blankets are allowed but shall only be used for long-term stabilization of waterways.
The organic blankets authorized above are better for slope protection and short-term waterway
protection because they retain moisture and provide organic matter to the soil, substantially improving
the speed and success of re-vegetation.
Maintenance Standards
1. Good contact with the ground must be maintained, and there must not be erosion beneath the net or
blanket.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual

2. Any areas of the net or blanket that are damaged or not in close contact with the ground shall be
repaired and stapled.
3. If erosion occurs due to poorly controlled drainage, the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area
protected.

D.2.1.2.4 PLASTIC COVERING
Code: PC Symbol:
Purpose
Plastic covering provides immediate, short-term erosion protection to slopes and disturbed areas.
Conditions of Use
1. Plastic covering may be used on disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days.
2. Plastic is particularly useful for protecting cut and fill slopes and stockpiles. Note: The relatively rapid
breakdown of most polyethylene sheeting makes it unsuitable for long-term applications.
3. Clear plastic sheeting may be used over newly-seeded areas to create a greenhouse effect and
encourage grass growth. Clear plastic should not be used for this purpose during the summer months
because the resulting high temperatures can kill the grass.
4. Due to rapid runoff caused by plastic sheeting, this method shall not be used upslope of areas that
might be adversely impacted by concentrated runoff. Such areas include steep and/or unstable slopes.
Note: There have been many problems with plastic, usually attributable to poor installation and
maintenance. However, the material itself can cause problems, even when correctly installed and
maintained, because it generates high-velocity runoff and breaks down quickly due to ultraviolet
radiation. In addition, if the plastic is not completely removed, it can clog drainage system inlets and
outlets. It is highly recommended that alternatives to plastic sheeting be used whenever possible and that
its use be limited.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.2.D for details.
2. Plastic sheeting shall have a minimum thickness of 0.06 millimeters.
3. If erosion at the toe of a slope is likely, a gravel berm, riprap, or other suitable protection shall be
installed at the toe of the slope in order to reduce the velocity of runoff.

3. When the plastic is no longer needed, it shall be completely removed.
D.2.1.2.5 STRAW WATTLES
Code: SW Symbol:
Purpose
Wattles are erosion and sediment control barriers consisting of straw wrapped in biodegradable tubular
plastic or similar encasing material. Wattles may reduce the velocity and can spread the flow of rill and
sheet runoff, and can capture and retain sediment. Straw wattles are typically 8 to 10 inches in diameter
and 25 to 30 feet in length. The wattles are placed in shallow trenches and staked along the contour of
disturbed or newly constructed slopes.
Conditions of Use
1. Install on disturbed areas that require immediate erosion protection.
2. Use on slopes requiring stabilization until permanent vegetation can be established.
3. Can be used along the perimeter of a project, as a check dam in unlined ditches and around temporary
stockpiles
4. Wattles can be staked to the ground using willow cuttings for added revegetation.
5. Rilling can occur beneath and between wattles if not properly entrenched, allowing water to pass
below and between wattles
Design and Installation Specifications
1. It is critical that wattles are installed perpendicular to the flow direction and parallel to the slope
contour.
2. Narrow trenches should be dug across the slope, on contour, to a depth of 3 to 5 inches on clay soils
and soils with gradual slopes. On loose soils, steep slopes, and during high rainfall events, the trenches
should be dug to a depth of 5 to 7 inches, or ½ to 2/3 of the thickness of the wattle.
3. Start construction of trenches and installing wattles from the base of the slope and work uphill.
Excavated material should be spread evenly along the uphill slope and compacted using hand tamping
or other method. Construct trenches at contour intervals of 3 to 30 feet apart depending on the
steepness of the slope, soil type, and rainfall. The steeper the slope the closer together the trenches
should be constructed.
4. Install the wattles snugly into the trenches and abut tightly end to end. Do not overlap the ends.
5. Install stakes at each end of the wattle, and at 4 foot centers along the entire length of the wattle.
6. If required, install pilot holes for the stakes using a straight bar to drive holes through the wattle and
into the soil.
7. At a minimum, wooden stakes should be approximately ¾ x ¾ x 24 inches. Willow cuttings or
3/8 inch rebar can also be used for stakes.
8. Stakes should be driven through the middle of the wattle, leaving 2 to 3 inches of the stake protruding
above the wattle.

D.2.1.2.6 TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SEEDING
Code: SE Symbol:
Purpose
Seeding is intended to reduce erosion by stabilizing exposed soils. A well-established vegetative cover is
one of the most effective methods of reducing erosion.
Conditions of Use
1. Seeding shall be used throughout the project on disturbed areas that have reached final grade or that
will remain unworked for more than 30 days.
2. Vegetation-lined channels shall be seeded. Channels that will be vegetated should be installed before
major earthwork and hydroseeded or covered with a Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM).
3. Retention/detention ponds shall be seeded as required.
4. At the City’s discretion, seeding without mulch during the dry season is allowed even though it will
take more than seven days to develop an effective cover. Mulch is, however, recommended at all
times because it protects seeds from heat, moisture loss, and transport due to runoff.
5. Prior to the beginning of the wet season, all disturbed areas shall be reviewed to identify which ones
can be seeded in preparation for the winter rains (see Section D.2.4.2). Disturbed areas shall be seeded
within one week of the beginning of the wet season. A sketch map of those areas to be seeded and
those areas to remain uncovered shall be submitted to the CED inspector. The CED inspector may
require seeding of additional areas in order to protect surface waters, adjacent properties, or drainage
facilities.
6. At final site stabilization, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated or stabilized shall be seeded and
mulched (see Section D.2.4.5).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. The best time to seed is fall (late September to October) or in spring (mid-March to June). Irrigation
is required during the first summer following installation if seeding occurs in spring or summer or
during prolonged dry times of year. Areas may also be seeded during the winter months, but it may
take additional spring seeding applications to develop a dense groundcover due to cold temperatures.
The application and maintenance of mulch is critical for winter seeding.
2. To prevent seed from being washed away, confirm that all required surface water control measures
have been installed.
3. The seedbed should not be compacted because soils that are well compacted will not vegetate as
quickly or thoroughly. Slopes steeper than 3H:1V shall be surface roughened. Roughening can be
accomplished in a variety of ways, but the typical method is track walking, or driving a crawling
tractor up and down the slope, leaving cleat imprints parallel to the slope contours.
4. In general, 10-20-20 N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) fertilizer may be used at a rate of
90 pounds per acre. Slow-release fertilizers are preferred because they are more efficient and have
fewer environmental impacts. It is recommended that areas being seeded for final landscaping conduct
soil tests to determine the exact type and quantity of fertilizer needed. This will prevent the over-
application of fertilizer. Disturbed areas within 200 feet of water bodies and wetlands must use slow-
release low-phosphorus fertilizer (typical proportions 3-1-2 N-P-K).
5. The following requirements apply to mulching:
a) Mulch is always required for seeding slopes greater than 3H:1V (see Section D.2.1.2.2).
b) If seeding during the wet season, mulch is required.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-24
c) The use of mulch may be required during the dry season at the City’s discretion if grass growth is
expected to be slow, the soils are highly erodible due to soil type or gradient, there is a water body
close to the disturbed area, or significant precipitation (see Section D.2.4.2) is anticipated before
the grass will provide effective cover.
d) Mulch may be applied on top of the seed or simultaneously by hydroseeding.
6. Hydroseeding is allowed as long as tackifier is included. Hydroseeding with wood fiber mulch is
adequate during the dry season. Application of hydroseeded wood fiber mulch should be appropriate
for slope angle. Follow manufacturer specifications for application rates.
7. Areas to be permanently landscaped shall use soil amendments. Good quality topsoil shall be tilled
into the top six inches to reduce the need for fertilizer and improve the overall soil quality. Most
native soils will require the addition of four inches of well-rotted compost to be tilled into the soil to
provide a good quality topsoil. Compost used should meet specifications provided in Reference
Section 11-C of the SWDM.
8. The seed mixes listed below include recommended mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding.
These mixes, with the exception of the wetland mix, shall be applied at a rate of 80 to 100 seeds per
square foot. Wet sites should apply 120 to 150 seeds per square foot. Local suppliers should be
consulted for information on current Pure Live Seed (PLS) rates and species specific seeds per pound
in order to determine seed mix PLS pounds of seed per acre. The appropriate mix depends on a variety
of factors, including exposure, soil type, slope, and expected foot traffic. Alternative seed mixes
approved by the City may be used.
Table D.2.1.2.B presents the standard mix for those areas where t a temporary or permanent vegetative
cover is required. The following mix assumes a desired 150 seeds per square foot and should be applied at
approximately 37 pounds of pure live seed per acre.

Maintenance Standards for Temporary and Permanent Seeding
1. Any seeded areas that fail to establish at least 80 percent cover within one month shall be reseeded. If
reseeding is ineffective, an alternate method, such as sodding or nets/blankets, shall be used. If winter
weather prevents adequate seed establishment and growth, this time limit may be relaxed at the
discretion of the City when critical areas would otherwise be protected.
2. After adequate cover is achieved, any areas that experience erosion shall be re-seeded and protected
by mulch. If the erosion problem is drainage related, the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area re-
seeded and protected by mulch.
3. Seeded areas shall be supplied with adequate moisture, but not watered to the extent that it causes
runoff.
D.2.1.2.7 SODDING
Code: SO Symbol:
Purpose
The purpose of sodding is to establish permanent turf for immediate erosion protection and to stabilize
drainage ways where concentrated overland flow will occur.
Conditions of Use
Sodding may be used in the following areas:
1. Disturbed areas that require short-term or long-term cover
2. Disturbed areas that require immediate vegetative cover
3. All waterways that require vegetative lining (except biofiltration swales—the seed mix used in most
sod is not appropriate for biofiltration swales). Waterways may also be seeded rather than sodded, and
protected with a net or blanket (see Section D.2.1.2.3).
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-27
Design and Installation Specifications
Sod shall be free of weeds, of uniform thickness (approximately 1-inch thick), and shall have a dense root
mat for mechanical strength.
The following steps are recommended for sod installation:
1. Shape and smooth the surface to final grade in accordance with the approved grading plan.
2. Amend four inches (minimum) of well-rotted compost into the top eight inches of the soil if the
organic content of the soil is less than ten percent. Compost used shall meet compost specifications
per SWDM Reference Section 11-C.
3. Fertilize according to the supplier’s recommendations. Disturbed areas within 200 feet of water bodies
and wetlands must use non-phosphorus fertilizer.
4. Work lime and fertilizer 1 to 2 inches into the soil, and smooth the surface.
5. Lay strips of sod beginning at the lowest area to be sodded and perpendicular to the direction of water
flow. Wedge strips securely into place. Square the ends of each strip to provide for a close, tight fit.
Stagger joints at least 12 inches. Staple on slopes steeper than 3H:1V.
6. Roll the sodded area and irrigate.
7. When sodding is carried out in alternating strips or other patterns, seed the areas between the sod
immediately after sodding.
Maintenance Standards
If the grass is unhealthy, the cause shall be determined and appropriate action taken to reestablish a
healthy groundcover. If it is impossible to establish a healthy groundcover due to frequent saturation,
instability, or some other cause, the sod shall be removed, the area seeded with an appropriate mix, and
protected with a net or blanket.
D.2.1.2.8 POLYACRYLAMIDE FOR SOIL EROSION PROTECTION
Purpose
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used on construction sites to prevent soil erosion. Applying PAM to bare soil in
advance of a rain event significantly reduces erosion and controls sediment in two ways. First, PAM
increases the soil’s available pore volume, thus increasing infiltration through flocculation and reducing
the quantity of stormwater runoff. Second, it increases flocculation of suspended particles and aids in their
deposition, thus reducing stormwater runoff turbidity and improving water quality.
Conditions of Use
1. PAM shall not be directly applied to water or allowed to enter a water body.
2. PAM may be applied to wet soil, but dry soil is preferred due to less sediment loss.
3. PAM will work when applied to saturated soil but is not as effective as applications to dry or damp
soil.
4. PAM may be applied only to the following types of bare soil areas that drain to a sediment trap or a
sediment pond:
• Staging areas
• Stockpiles
• Pit sites
• Balanced cut and fill earthwork
• Haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing
• Compacted soil road base
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-28
5. PAM may be applied only during the following phases of construction:
• During rough grading operations
• After final grade and before paving or final seeding and planting
• During a winter shut down of site work. In the case of winter shut down, or where soil will remain
unworked for several months, PAM should be used together with mulch.
6. Do not use PAM on a slope that flows directly to a stream or wetland. The stormwater runoff shall
pass through a sediment control measure prior to discharging to surface waters.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. PAM must be applied using one of two methods of application, “preferred” or “alternative.” The
specifications for these methods are described under separate headings below.
2. PAM may be applied in dissolved form with water, or it may be applied in dry, granular or powdered
form. The preferred application method is the dissolved form.
3. PAM is to be applied at a maximum rate of ½ pound PAM per 1000 gallons of water per 1 acre of
bare soil. Table D.2.1.2.H may be used to determine the PAM and water application rate for disturbed
soil areas. Higher concentrations of PAM do not provide any additional effectiveness.
4. Do not add PAM to water discharging from the site.
5. PAM shall be used in conjunction with other ESC measures and not in place of them. When the total
drainage area is greater than or equal to 3 acres, PAM treated areas shall drain to a sediment pond per
Section D.2.1.5.2. For drainage areas less than 3 acres, PAM treated areas must drain to a sediment
trap per Section D.2.1.5.1. Other normally required sediment control measures such as perimeter
protection measures (Section D.2.1.3) and surface water collection measures (Section D.2.1.6) shall be
applied to PAM treated areas.
6. All areas not being actively worked shall be covered and protected from rainfall. PAM shall not be the
only cover BMP used.
7. Keep the granular PAM supply out of the sun. Granular PAM loses its effectiveness in three months
after exposure to sunlight and air.
8. Care must be taken to prevent spills of PAM powder onto paved surfaces. PAM, combined with water,
is very slippery and can be a safety hazard. During an application of PAM, prevent over-spray from
reaching pavement as the pavement will become slippery. If PAM powder gets on skin or clothing,
wipe it off with a rough towel rather than washing with water. Washing with water only makes
cleanup more difficult, messier, and time consuming.
9. The specific PAM copolymer formulation must be anionic. Cationic PAM shall not be used in any
application because of known aquatic toxicity concerns. Only the highest drinking water grade PAM,
certified for compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for drinking water treatment, may be used for
soil applications. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) lists approved PAM
products on their web page. All PAM use shall be reviewed and approved by CED.
10. The PAM anionic charge density may vary from 2 to 30 percent; a value of 18 percent is typical.
Studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/ARS demonstrated that
soil stabilization was optimized by using very high molecular weight (12 to 15 mg/mole), highly
anionic (>20% hydrolysis) PAM.
11. PAM must be “water soluble” or “linear” or “non-cross-linked.” Cross-linked or water absorbent
PAM, polymerized in highly acidic (pH<2) conditions, are used to maintain soil moisture content.

4.00 2.00 4,000
4.50 2.25 4,500
5.00 2.50 5,000
Preferred Application Method
1. Pre-measure the area where PAM is to be applied and calculate the amount of product and water
necessary to provide coverage at the specified application rate (1/2 pound PAM/1,000 gallons/acre).
2. Dissolve pre-measured dry granular PAM with a known quantity of clean water in a bucket several
hours or overnight. PAM has infinite solubility in water, but dissolves very slowly. Mechanical
mixing will help dissolve PAM. Always add PAM to water – not water to PAM.
3. Pre-fill the water truck about 1/8 full with water. The water does not have to be potable, but it must
have relatively low turbidity – in the range of 20 NTU or less.
4. Add PAM/Water mixture to the truck.
5. Completely fill the water truck to specified volume.
6. Spray PAM/Water mixture onto dry soil until the soil surface is uniformly and completely wetted.
Alternate Application Method
PAM may also be applied as a powder at the rate of 5 pounds per acre. This must be applied on a day that
is dry. For areas less than 5 to 10 acres, a hand-held “organ grinder” fertilized spreader set to the smallest
setting will work. Tractor mounted spreaders will work for larger areas.
Maintenance Standards
1. PAM may be reapplied on actively worked areas after a 48-hour period
2. Reapplication is not required unless PAM treated soil is disturbed or unless turbidity levels show the
need for an additional application. If PAM treated soil is left undisturbed, a reapplication may be
necessary after two months. More PAM applications may be required for steep slopes, silty and clay
soils, (USDA classification Type “C” and “D” soils), long grades, and high precipitation areas. When
PAM is applied first to bare soil and then covered with straw, a reapplication may not be necessary for
several months.
D.2.1.2.9 COMPOST BLANKETS
Code: COBL Symbol:
Purpose
Compost blankets are intended to:
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-30
• Provide immediate temporary protection from erosion by protecting soil from rainfall and slowing
flow velocity over the soil surface.
• Enhance temporary or permanent plant establishment by conserving moisture, holding seed and
topsoil in place, providing nutrients and soil microorganisms, and moderating soil temperatures.
• Compost blankets, applied at the proper thickness and tilled into the soil, are also an option for
amending soils for permanent landscaping.
• Compost generally releases and adds phosphorous to stormwater. Therefore, compost blankets are not
recommended for use in watersheds where phosphorous sensitive water resources are located. Unless
prior approval is given by the City, they should not be used in Sensitive Lake Watersheds.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost blankets may be used unseeded on disturbed areas that require temporary cover measures up
to 1 year. Compost applied as temporary cover may be reclaimed and re-used for permanent cover.
2. Compost provides cover for protecting final grades until landscaping can be completed as it can be
directly seeded or tilled into soil as an amendment.
3. Compost blankets meet mulch requirements for seed.
4. Seed may be applied to a compost blanket at any time for permanent or temporary stabilization of
disturbed areas. Seed may be applied prior to blanket application, on top of blankets, or injected and
mixed into the compost as it is applied.
5. Compost blankets may be applied on slopes up to 2H:1V.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost shall be applied at a minimum of 2 inches thick, unless otherwise directed by an ESC
supervisor or the City. At an application of 2 inches, this will equal approximately 100 tons per acre
(compost generally weighs approximately 800 lbs per cubic yard). Thickness shall be increased at the
direction of the design engineer for disturbed areas in or near critical areas or other areas highly
susceptible to erosion.
2. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM.
3. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
4. Compost blankets shall be applied over the top of the slope to which it is applied, to prevent water
from running under the blanket
5. Compost blankets shall not be used in areas exposed to concentrated flow (e.g., channels, ditches,
dikes)
Maintenance Standards
1. The specified thickness of the blanket/cover must be maintained.
2. Any areas that show signs of erosion must be re-mulched. If the erosion problem is drainage related,
then the drainage problem must first be remedied and then the eroded area re-mulched.
D.2.1.3 PERIMETER PROTECTION
Perimeter protection to filter sediment from sheetwash shall be located downslope of all disturbed areas
and shall be installed prior to upslope grading. Perimeter protection includes the use of vegetated strips as
well as, constructed measures, such as silt fences, fiber rolls, sand/gravel barriers, brush or rock filters,
triangular silt dikes and other methods. During the wet season, 50 linear feet of silt fence (and the
necessary stakes) per acre of disturbed area must be stockpiled on site.
Purpose: The purpose of perimeter protection is to reduce the amount of sediment transported beyond the
disturbed areas of the construction site. Perimeter protection is primarily a backup means of sediment
control. Most, if not all, sediment-laden water is to be treated in a sediment trap or pond. The only
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-31
circumstances in which perimeter control is to be used as a primary means of sediment removal is when
the catchment is very small (see below).
When to Install: Perimeter protection is to be installed prior to any upslope clearing and grading.
Measures to Use: The above measures may be used interchangeably and are not the only perimeter
protection measures available. If surface water is collected by an interceptor dike or swale and routed to a
sediment pond or trap, there may be no need for the perimeter protection measures specified in this
section.
Criteria for Use as Primary Treatment: At the boundary of a site, perimeter protection may be used as
the sole form of treatment when the flowpath meets the criteria listed below. If these criteria are not met,
perimeter protection shall only be used as a backup to a sediment trap or pond.
Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length
1.5H:1V or less 67% or less 100 feet
2H:1V or less 50% or less 115 feet
4H:1V or less 25% or less 150 feet
6H:1V or less 16.7% or less 200 feet
10H:1V or less 10% or less 250 feet
D.2.1.3.1 SILT FENCE
Code: SF Symbol:
Purpose
Use of a silt fence reduces the transport of coarse sediment from a construction site by providing a
temporary physical barrier to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use
1. Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. Silt fence is not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor is it intended to treat substantial amounts of
overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a sediment
trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a silt fence,
rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the fence is small (see “Criteria for
Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3 above).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.3.A and Figure D.2.1.3.B for details.
2. The geotextile used must meet the standards listed below. A copy of the manufacturer’s fabric
specifications must be available on site.
AOS (ASTM D4751) 30–100 sieve size (0.60–0.15 mm) for slit film
50–100 sieve size (0.30–0.15 mm) for other fabrics
Water Permittivity (ASTM D4491) 0.02 sec-1 minimum
Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4632)
(see Specification Note 3)
180 lbs. min. for extra strength fabric
100 lbs. min. for standard strength fabric
Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max. (woven)
Ultraviolet Resistance (ASTM D4355) 70% min.
3. Standard strength fabric requires wire backing to increase the strength of the fence. Wire backing or
closer post spacing may be required for extra strength fabric if field performance warrants a stronger
fence.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-32
4. Where the fence is installed, the slope shall be no steeper than 2H:1V.
5. If a typical silt fence (per Figure D.2.1.3.A) is used, the standard 4 x 4 trench may not be reduced as
long as the bottom 8 inches of the silt fence is well buried and secured in a trench that stabilizes the
fence and does not allow water to bypass or undermine the silt fence.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any damage shall be repaired immediately.
2. If concentrated flows are evident uphill of the fence, they must be intercepted and conveyed to a
sediment trap or pond.
3. It is important to check the uphill side of the fence for signs of the fence clogging and acting as a
barrier to flow and then causing channelization of flows parallel to the fence. If this occurs, replace the
fence or remove the trapped sediment.
4. Sediment must be removed when the sediment is 6 inches high.
5. If the filter fabric (geotextile) has deteriorated due to ultraviolet breakdown, it shall be replaced.

Code: BB Symbol:
Purpose
The purpose of brush barriers is to reduce the transport of coarse sediment from a construction site by
providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use
1. Brush barriers may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. Brush barriers are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are they intended to treat substantial
amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a
barrier, rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the barrier is small (see
“Criteria for Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.3.C for details.
2. The City may require filter fabric (geotextile) anchored over the brush berm to enhance the filtration
ability of the barrier.
Maintenance Standards
1. There shall be no signs of erosion or concentrated runoff under or around the barrier. If concentrated
flows are bypassing the barrier, it must be expanded or augmented by toed-in filter fabric.
2. The dimensions of the barrier must be maintained.

D.2.1.3.3 VEGETATED STRIP
Code: VS Symbol:
Purpose
Vegetated strips reduce the transport of coarse sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary
physical barrier to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow.
Conditions of Use
1. Vegetated strips may be used downslope of all disturbed areas.
2. Vegetated strips are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are they intended to treat substantial
amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage system to a
sediment trap or pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow may be treated solely by a strip,
rather than by a sediment trap or pond, is when the area draining to the strip is small (see “Criteria for
Use as Primary Treatment” in Section D.2.1.3).
Design and Installation Specifications
1. The vegetated strip shall consist of a 25-foot minimum width continuous strip of dense vegetation
with a permeable topsoil. Grass-covered, landscaped areas are generally not adequate because the
volume of sediment overwhelms the grass. Ideally, vegetated strips shall consist of undisturbed native
growth with a well-developed soil that allows for infiltration of runoff.
2. The slope within the strip shall not exceed 4H:1V.
3. The uphill boundary of the vegetated strip shall be delineated with clearing limits as specified in
Section D.2.1.1.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any areas damaged by erosion or construction activity shall be seeded immediately and protected by
mulch.
2. If more than 5 feet of the original vegetated strip width has had vegetation removed or is being eroded,
sod must be installed using the standards for installation found in Section D.2.1.2.7.
If there are indications that concentrated flows are traveling across the buffer, surface water controls must
be installed to reduce the flows entering the buffer, or additional perimeter protection must be installed.
D.2.1.3.4 TRIANGULAR SILT DIKE (GEOTEXTILE ENCASED CHECK DAM)
Code: TSD Symbol:
Purpose
Triangular silt dikes (TSDs) may be used as check dams, for perimeter protection, for temporary soil
stockpile protection, for drop inlet protection, or as a temporary interceptor dike. Silt dikes, if attached to
impervious surfaces with tack or other adhesive agent may also be used as temporary wheel wash areas, or
concrete washout collection areas.
Conditions of Use
1. May be used for temporary check dams in ditches.
2. May be used on soil or pavement with adhesive or staples.
3. TSDs have been used to build temporary sediment ponds, diversion ditches, concrete washout
facilities, curbing, water bars, level spreaders, and berms.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-37
Design and Installation Specifications
1. TSDs must be made of urethane foam sewn into a woven geosynthetic fabric.
2. TSDs are triangular, 10 inches to 14 inches high in the center, with a 20-inch to 28-inch base. A 2-foot
apron extends beyond both sides of the triangle along its standard section of 7 feet. A sleeve at one
end allows attachment of additional sections as needed
3. Install TSDs with ends curved up to prevent water from flowing around the ends
4. Attach the TSDs and their fabric flaps to the ground with wire staples. Wire staples must be No. 11
gauge wire or stronger and shall be 200 mm to 300 mm in length.
5. When multiple units are installed, the sleeve of fabric at the end of the unit shall overlap the abutting
unit and be stapled.
6. TSDs must be located and installed as soon as construction will allow.
7. TSDs must be placed perpendicular to the flow of water.
8. When used as check dams, the leading edge must be secured with rocks, sandbags, or a small key slot
and staples.
9. When used in grass-lined ditches and swales, the TSD check dams and accumulated sediment shall be
removed when the grass has matured sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale unless the slope of the
swale is greater than 4 percent. The area beneath the TSD check dams shall be seeded and mulched
immediately after dam removal.
Maintenance Standards
1. Triangular silt dikes shall be monitored for performance and sediment accumulation during and after
each runoff producing rainfall event. Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one half the height of
the silt dike.
2. Anticipate submergence and deposition above the triangular silt dike and erosion from high flows
around the edges of the dike/dam. Immediately repair any damage or any undercutting of the
dike/dam.
D.2.1.3.5 COMPOST BERMS
Code: COBE Symbol:
Purpose
Compost berms are an option to meet the requirements of perimeter protection. Compost berms may
reduce the transport of sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier to
sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. Compost berms trap sediment by filtering
water passing through the berm and allowing water to pond, creating a settling area for solids behind the
berm. Organic materials in the compost can also reduce concentrations of metals and petroleum
hydrocarbons from construction runoff. Due to the increase in phosphorous seen in the effluent data from
compost berms, they should be used with some cautions in areas that drain to phosphorus sensitive water
bodies, and should only be used in Sensitive Lake watersheds, such as Lake Sammamish, with the
approval from the City or the local jurisdiction.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost berms may be used in most areas requiring sediment or erosion control where runoff is in the
form of sheet flow or in areas where silt fence is normally considered acceptable. Compost berms may
be used in areas where migration of aquatic life such as turtles and salamanders are impeded by the
use of silt fence.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-38
2. Compost berms are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are they intended to treat substantial
amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed via a drainage system to a
sediment pond or trap.
3. For purposes of long-term sediment control objectives, berms may be seeded at the time of installation
to create an additional vegetated filtering component.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost berms shall be applied using a pneumatic blower device or equivalent, to produce a uniform
cross-section and berm density.
2. Compost berms shall be triangular in cross-section. The ratio of base to height dimensions shall be
2:1.
3. The minimu m size of a compost berm is a 2-foot base with a 1-foot height.
4. Compost berms shall be sized and spaced as indicated in the table below.
SLOPE SLOPE

33% – 50% 3:1 – 2:1 50 1.5 ft x 3 ft
5. Compost berms shall not be used on slopes greater than 2H:1V.
6. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM except for the particle size
distribution (see Bullet 8).
7. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
8. Compost particle size distribution shall be as follows: 99% passing a 1 inch sieve, 90% passing a
3/4-inch sieve and a minimum of 70% greater than the 3/8-inch sieve. A total of 98% shall not exceed
3 inches in length.
9. Berms shall be placed on level contours to assist in dissipating flow into sheet flow rather than
concentrated flows. Berms shall not be constructed to concentrate runoff or channel water. Sheet flow
of water shall be perpendicular to the berm at impact. No concentrated flow shall be directed towards
compost berms.
10. Where possible, berms shall be placed 5 feet or more from the toe of slopes to allow space for
sediment deposition and collection.
11. In order to prevent water from flowing around the ends of the berms, the ends of the berm shall be
constructed pointing upslope so the ends are at a higher elevation than the rest of the berm.
12. A compost blanket extending 10 to 15 feet above the berm is recommended where the surface above
the berm is rutted or uneven, to reduce concentrated flow and promote sheet flow into the berm.
Maintenance Standards
1. Compost berms shall be regularly inspected to make sure they retain their shape and allow adequate
flow-through of stormwater.
2. When construction is completed on site, the berms shall be dispersed for incorporation into the soil or
left on top of the site for final seeding to occur.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-39
3. Any damage to berms must be repaired immediately. Damage includes flattening, compacting, rills,
eroded areas due to overtopping.
4. If concentrated flows are evident uphill of the berm, the flows must be intercepted and conveyed to a
sediment trap or pond.
5. The uphill side of the berm shall be inspected for signs of the berm clogging and acting as a barrier to
flows and causing channelization of flows parallel to the berm. If this occurs, replace the berm or
remove the trapped sediment.
6. Sediment that collects behind the berm must be removed when the sediment is more than 6 inches
deep.
D.2.1.3.6 COMPOST SOCKS
Code: COSO Symbol:
Purpose
Compost socks reduce the transport of sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary
physical barrier to sediment-laden water and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. Compost
socks trap sediment by filtering water that passes through the sock and allows water to pond behind the
sock, creating a settling area for solids. Organic materials in the compost also may reduce metal and
petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in construction runoff. Compost socks function similarly to
compost berms; however, because the compost is contained in a mesh tube, they are appropriate for both
concentrated flow and sheet flow. Compost socks may be used to channel concentrated flow on hard
surfaces.
Conditions of Use
1. Compost socks may be used in areas requiring sediment or erosion control where runoff is in the form
of sheet flow or in areas that silt fence is normally considered acceptable. Compost socks may also be
used in sensitive environmental areas where migration of aquatic life, including turtles, salamanders
and other aquatic life may be impeded by the used of silt fence.
2. Compost socks are not intended to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. However, compost
socks may be subjected to some ponding and concentrated flows. If intended primarily as a filtration
device, the socks should be sized and placed so that flows do not overtop the socks.
3. For purposes of long term sediment control objectives, compost socks may be seeded at the time of
installation to create an additional vegetated filtering component.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Compost socks shall be produced using a pneumatic blower hose or equivalent to fill a mesh tube with
compost to create a uniform cross-section and berm density.
2. Socks shall be filled so they are firmly – packed yet flexible. Upon initial filling, the socks shall be
filled to have a round cross-section. Once placed on the ground, it is recommended to apply weight to
the sock to improve contact with the underlying surface. This may cause the sock to assume an oval
shape.
3. Compost socks shall be a minimum of 8 inches in diameter. Larger diameter socks are recommended
for areas where ponding is expected behind the sock.
4. Compost socks shall not be used on slopes greater than 2H:1V.
5. Compost shall meet criteria in Reference Section 11-C of the SWDM, except for the particle size
distribution (see Bullet 7).
6. Compost shall be obtained from a supplier meeting the requirements in Reference Section 11-C.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-40
7. Compost particle size distribution shall be as follows: 99% passing a 1-inch sieve, 90% passing a
3/4-inch sieve and a minimum of 70% greater than the 3/8-inch sieve. A total of 98% shall not exceed
3 inches in length.
8. In order to prevent water from flowing around the ends of compost socks, the ends must be pointed
upslope so the ends of the socks are at a higher elevation than the remainder of the sock.
Maintenance Standards
1. Compost socks shall be regularly inspected to make sure the mesh tube remains undamaged, the socks
retain their shape, and allow adequate flow through of surface water. If the mesh tube is torn, it shall
be repaired using twine, zip-ties, or wire. Large sections of damaged socks must be replaced. Any
damage must be repaired immediately upon discovery of damage.
2. When the sock is no longer needed, the socks shall be cut open and the compost dispersed to be
incorporated into the soil or left on top of the soil for final seeding to occur. The mesh material must
be disposed of properly as solid waste. If spills of oil, antifreeze, hydraulic fluid, or other equipment
fluids have occurred that have saturated the sock, the compost must be disposed of properly as a
waste.
3. Sediment must be removed when sediment accumulations are within 3 inches of the top of the sock.
D.2.1.4 TRAFFIC AREA STABILIZATION
Unsurfaced entrances, roads, and parking areas used by construction traffic shall be stabilized to minimize
erosion and tracking of sediment off site. Stabilized construction entrances shall be installed as the first
step in clearing and grading. At the City’s discretion, road and parking area stabilization is not required
during the dry season (unless dust is a concern) or if the site is underlain by coarse-grained soils. Roads
and parking areas shall be stabilized immediately after initial grading.
Purpose: The purpose of traffic area stabilization is to reduce the amount of sediment transported off site
by construction vehicles and to reduce the erosion of areas disturbed by vehicle traffic. Sediment
transported off site onto paved streets is a significant problem because it is difficult to effectively remove,
and any sediment not removed ends up in the drainage system. Additionally, sediment on public right-of-
way can pose a serious traffic hazard. Construction road and parking area stabilization is important
because the combination of wet soil and heavy equipment traffic typically forms a slurry of easily erodible
mud. Finally, stabilization also is an excellent form of dust control in the summer months.
When to Install: The construction entrance is to be installed as the first step in clearing and grading.
Construction road stabilization shall occur immediately after initial grading of the construction roads and
parking areas.
Measures to Use: There are two types of traffic area stabilization: (1) a stabilized construction entrance
and (2) construction road/parking area stabilization. Both measures must be used as specified under
“Conditions of Use” for each measure.
D.2.1.4.1 STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE
Code: CE Symbol:
Purpose
Construction entrances are stabilized to reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved roads by
motor vehicles or runoff by constructing a stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances to construction sites.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-41
Conditions of Use
Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be leaving a construction site and traveling
on paved roads or other paved areas within 1,000 feet of the site. Access and exits shall be limited to one
route if possible, or two for linear projects such as roadway where more than one access/exit is necessary
for maneuvering large equipment.
For residential construction provide stabilized construction entrances for each residence in addition to the
main subdivision entrance. Stabilized surfaces shall be of sufficient length/width to provide vehicle
access/parking, based on lot size/configuration.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.4.A for details.
2. A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine sediment from pumping up into
the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet the following standards:
Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4632) 200 lbs min.
Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max.(woven)
Puncture Strength (ASTM D6241) 495 lbs min.
AOS (ASTM D4751) 20–45 (U.S. standard sieve size)
3. Do not use crushed concrete, cement, or calcium chloride for construction entrance stabilization
because these products raise pH levels in stormwater and concrete discharge to surface waters of the
State is prohibited.
4. Hog fuel (wood based mulch) may be substituted for or combined with quarry spalls in areas that will
not be used for permanent roads. The effectiveness of hog fuel is highly variable, but it has been used
successfully on many sites. It generally requires more maintenance than quarry spalls. Hog fuel is not
recommended for entrance stabilization in urban areas. The inspector may at any time require the use
of quarry spalls if the hog fuel is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement or if the
hog fuel is being carried onto pavement. Hog fuel is prohibited in permanent roadbeds because
organics in the subgrade soils cause difficulties with compaction.
5. Fencing (see Section D.2.1.1) shall be installed as necessary to restrict traffic to the construction
entrance.
6. Whenever possible, the entrance shall be constructed on a firm, compacted subgrade. This can
substantially increase the effectiveness of the pad and reduce the need for maintenance.
Maintenance Standards
1. Quarry spalls (or hog fuel) shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with the specifications.
2. If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement, then alternative
measures to keep the streets free of sediment shall be used. This may include street sweeping, an
increase in the dimensions of the entrance, or the installation of a wheel wash. If washing is used, it
shall be done on an area covered with crushed rock, and wash water shall drain to a sediment trap or
pond.
3. Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed immediately by sweeping. The sediment
collected by sweeping shall be removed or stabilized on site. The pavement shall not be cleaned by
washing down the street, except when sweeping is ineffective and there is a threat to public safety. If
it is necessary to wash the streets, a small sump must be constructed. The sediment would then be
washed into the sump where it can be controlled. Wash water must be pumped back onto the site and
cannot discharge to systems tributary to surface waters.

4. Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad and end up on the roadway shall be removed
immediately.
5. If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the construction entrance(s), fencing (see
Section D.2.1.1) shall be installed to control traffic.

D.2.1.4.2 CONSTRUCTION ROAD/PARKING AREA STABILIZATION
Code: CRS Symbol:
Purpose
Stabilizing subdivision roads, parking areas and other onsite vehicle transportation routes immediately
after grading reduces erosion caused by construction traffic or runoff.
Conditions of Use
1. Roads or parking areas shall be stabilized wherever they are constructed, whether permanent or
temporary, for use by construction traffic.
2. Fencing (see Section D.2.1.1) shall be installed, if necessary, to limit the access of vehicles to only
those roads and parking areas that are stabilized.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. A 6-inch depth of 2- to 4-inch crushed rock, gravel base, or crushed surfacing base course shall be
applied immediately after grading or utility installation. A 4-inch course of asphalt treated base (ATB)
may also be used, or the road/parking area may be paved. It may also be possible to use cement or

calcium chloride for soil stabilization. If the area will not be used for permanent roads, parking areas,
or structures, a 6-inch depth of hog fuel may also be used, but this is likely to require more
maintenance. Whenever possible, construction roads and parking areas shall be placed on a firm,
compacted subgrade. Note: If the area will be used for permanent road or parking installation later in
the project, the subgrade will be subject to inspection.
2. Temporary road gradients shall not exceed 15 percent. Roadways shall be carefully graded to drain
transversely. Drainage ditches shall be provided on each side of the roadway in the case of a crowned
section, or on one side in the case of a super-elevated section. Drainage ditches shall be designed in
accordance with the standards given in Section D.2.1.6.4 and directed to a sediment pond or trap.
3. Rather than relying on ditches, it may also be possible to grade the road so that runoff sheet-flows
into a heavily vegetated area with a well-developed topsoil. Landscaped areas are not adequate. If this
area has at least 50 feet of vegetation, then it is generally preferable to use the vegetation to treat
runoff, rather than a sediment pond or trap. The 50 feet shall not include vegetated wetlands. If runoff
is allowed to sheet flow through adjacent vegetated areas, it is vital to design the roadways and
parking areas so that no concentrated runoff is created.
4. In order to control construction traffic, the City may require that signs be erected on site informing
construction personnel that vehicles, other than those performing clearing and grading, are restricted
to stabilized areas.
5. If construction roads do not adequately reduce trackout to adjacent property or roadways, a wheel
wash system will be required.
Maintenance Standards
Crushed rock, gravel base, hog fuel, etc., shall be added as required to maintain a stable driving surface
and to stabilize any areas that have eroded.
D.2.1.4.3 WHEEL WASH
Code: WW Symbol:
Purpose
Wheel wash systems reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved roadways and into surface
water systems by construction vehicles.
Conditions of Use
When a stabilized construction entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement:
• Wheel washing is generally an effective erosion and sediment control method and BMP when
installed with careful attention to topography. For example, a wheel wash can be detrimental if
installed at the top of a slope abutting a right-of-way where the water from the dripping truck wheels
and undercarriage can run unimpeded into the street.
• Pressure washing combined with an adequately sized and properly surfaced wash pad with direct
drainage discharge to a large 10-foot x 10-foot sump can be very effective.
Design and Installation Specifications
A suggested detail is shown in Figure D.2.1.4.B.
1. A minimum of 6 inches of asphalt treated base (ATB) over crushed base material or 8 inches over a
good subgrade is recommended to pave the wheel wash area.
2. Use a low clearance truck to test the wheel wash before paving. Either a belly dump or lowboy will
work well to test clearance.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-44
3. Keep the water level from 12 to 14 inches deep to avoid damage to truck hubs and filling the truck
tongues with water.
4. Midpoint spray nozzles are only needed in very muddy conditions.
5. Wheel wash systems should be designed with a small grade change, 6 to 12 inches for a 10-foot-wide
pond, to allow sediment to flow to the low side of the pond and to help prevent re-suspension of
sediment.
6. A drainpipe with a 2- to 3-foot riser should be installed on the low side of the wheel wash pond to
allow for easy cleaning and refilling. Polymers may be used to promote coagulation and flocculation
in a closed-loop system.
7. Polyacrylamide (PAM) added to the wheel washwater at a rate of 0.25 to 0.5 pounds per 1,000 gallons
of water increases effectiveness and reduces cleanup time. If PAM is already being used for dust or
erosion control and is being applied by a water truck, the same truck may be used to change the
washwater.
Maintenance Standards
1. The wheel wash should start out each day with clean, fresh water.
2. The washwater should be changed a minimum of once per day. On large earthwork jobs where more
than 10 to 20 trucks per hour are expected, the washwater will need to be changed more often.
3. Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate onsite treatment system, such as
a closed-loop recirculation system or land application, or to the sanitary sewer system with proper
approval and/or permits from King County and the City of Renton.

D.2.1.5 SEDIMENT RETENTION
Surface water collected from disturbed areas of the site shall be routed through a sediment pond or trap
prior to release from the site. An exception is for areas at the perimeter of the site with drainage areas
small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). Also, if the soils and
topography are such that no offsite discharge of surface water is anticipated up to and including the
developed 2-year runoff event, sediment ponds and traps are not required. A 10-year peak flow using the
approved model with 15-minute time steps shall be used for sediment pond/trap sizing if the project size,
expected timing and duration of construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of
protection (see below). At the City’s discretion, sites may be worked during the dry season without
sediment ponds and traps if there is some other form of protection of surface waters, such as a 100-foot
forested buffer between the disturbed areas and adjacent surface waters. For small sites, use the criteria
defined in Section D.2.1.3, Perimeter Protection to determine minimum flow path length. If the site work
has to be extended into the wet season, a back-up plan must be identified in the CSWPP plan and
implemented. Protection of catch basins is required for inlets that are likely to be impacted by sediment
generated by the project and that do not drain to an onsite sediment pond or trap. Sediment retention
facilities shall be installed prior to grading of any contributing area and shall be located so as to avoid
interference with the movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages.
Purpose: The purpose of sediment retention facilities is to remove sediment from runoff generated from
disturbed areas.
When to Install: The facilities shall be constructed as the first step in the clearing and grading of the site.
The surface water conveyances may then be connected to the facilities as site development proceeds.
Measures to Use: There are three sediment retention measures in this section. The first two, sediment
traps and ponds, serve the same function but for different size catchments. All runoff from disturbed areas
must be routed through a trap or pond except for very small areas at the perimeter of the site small enough
to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). The third measure is for catch basin
protection. It is only to be used in limited circumstances and is not a primary sediment treatment facility. It
is only intended as a backup in the event of failure of other onsite systems.
Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities: All projects that are constructing permanent facilities for runoff
quantity control are strongly encouraged to use the rough-graded or final-graded permanent facilities for
ponds and traps. This includes combined facilities and infiltration facilities. When permanent facilities are
used as temporary sedimentation facilities, the surface area requirements of sediment traps (for drainages
less than 3 acres) or sediment ponds (more than 3 acres) must be met. If the surface area requirements are
larger than the surface area of the permanent facility, then the pond shall be enlarged to comply with the
surface area requirement. The permanent pond shall also be divided into two cells as required for sediment
ponds. Either a permanent control structure or the temporary control structure described in Section
D.2.1.5.2 may be used. If a permanent control structure is used, it may be advisable to partially restrict the
lower orifice with gravel to increase residence time while still allowing dewatering of the pond.
If infiltration facilities are to be used, the sides and bottom of the facility must only be rough excavated to
a minimum of three feet above final grade. Excavation should be done with a backhoe working at “arm’s
length” to minimize disturbance and compaction of the infiltration surface. Additionally, any required
pretreatment facilities shall be fully constructed prior to any release of sediment-laden water to the facility.
Pretreatment and shallow excavation are intended to prevent the clogging of soil with fines. Final grading
of the infiltration facility shall occur only when all contributing drainage areas are fully stabilized (see
Section D.2.4.5).
Selection of the Design Storm: In most circumstances, the developed condition 2-year peak flow using
the approved model with 15-minute time steps is sufficient for calculating surface area for ponds and traps
and for determining exemptions from the sediment retention and surface water collection requirements
(Sections D.2.1.5 and D.2.1.6, respectively). In some circumstances, however, the approved model 10-year
15-minute peak flow should be used. Examples of such circumstances include the following:
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-47
• Sites that are within ¼ mile of salmonid streams, wetlands, and designated sensitive lakes such as
Lake Sammamish
• Sites where significant clearing and grading is likely to occur during the wet season
• Sites with downstream erosion or sedimentation problems.
Natural Vegetation: Whenever possible, sediment-laden water shall be discharged into onsite, relatively
level, vegetated areas. This is the only way to effectively remove fine particles from runoff. This can be
particularly useful after initial treatment in a sediment retention facility. The areas of release must be
evaluated on a site-by-site basis in order to determine appropriate locations for and methods of releasing
runoff. Vegetated wetlands shall not be used for this purpose. Frequently, it may be possible to pump
water from the collection point at the downhill end of the site to an upslope vegetated area. Pumping shall
only augment the treatment system, not replace it because of the possibility of pump failure or runoff
volume in excess of pump capacity.
D.2.1.5.1 SEDIMENT TRAP
Code: ST Symbol:
Purpose
Sediment traps remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site. Sediment traps
are typically designed to only remove sediment as small as medium silt (0.02 mm). As a consequence,
they usually only result in a small reduction in turbidity.
Conditions of Use
A sediment trap shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3 acres or less.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.5.A for details.
2. If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they should be used for sediment retention
(see “Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities” in Section D.2.1.5).
3. To determine the trap geometry, first calculate the design surface area (SA) of the trap, measured at the
invert of the weir. Use the following equation:
SA = FS(Q2/Vs)
where Q2 = Design inflow (cfs) from the contributing drainage area based on the developed
condition 2-year or 10-year peak discharge using the approved model with 15-minute
time steps as computed in the hydrologic analysis. The approved model 10-year
15-minute peak flow shall be used if the project size, expected timing and duration of
construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection, or if the
pond discharge path leaves the site (note provisions must made to prevent increases
in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff peaks discharging from the
project site during construction, see Section D.3.9, Flow Control). If no hydrologic
analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used (Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
Vs = The settling velocity (ft/sec) of the soil particle of interest. The 0.02 mm (medium
silt) particle with an assumed density of 2.65 g/cm3 has been selected as the particle
of interest and has a settling velocity (Vs) of 0.00096 ft/sec.
FS = A safety factor of 2 to account for non-ideal settling.
Therefore, the equation for computing surface area becomes:
SA = 2 x Q2/0.00096 or 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow

D.2.1.5.2 SEDIMENT POND
Code: SP Symbol:
Purpose
Sediment ponds remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site. Sediment ponds
are typically designed to only remove sediment as small as medium silt (0.02 mm). As a consequence,
they usually reduce turbidity only slightly.
Conditions of Use
A sediment pond shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3 acres or more.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.5.B, Figure D.2.1.5.C, and Figure D.2.1.5.D for details.
2. If permanent runoff control facilities are part of the project, they should be used for sediment retention
(see “Use of Permanent Drainage Facilities” in Section D.2.1.5).
Determining Pond Geometry
1. Obtain the discharge from the hydrologic calculations for the 2-year and 10-year peak flows using the
approved model with 15-minute time steps (Q2 and Q10). The approved model 10-year 15-minute peak
flow shall be used if the project size, expected timing and duration of construction, or downstream
conditions warrant a higher level of protection, or if the pond discharge path leaves the site (note
provisions must made to prevent increases in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff
peaks discharging from the project site during construction, see Section D.3.9, Flow Control). If no
hydrologic analysis is required, the Rational Method may be used (Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
2. Determine the required surface area at the top of the riser pipe with the equation:
SA = 2 x Q10/0.00096 or 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
See Section D.2.1.5.1 for more information on the derivation of the surface area calculation.
3. The basic geometry of the pond can now be determined using the following design criteria:
• Required surface area SA (from Step 2 above) at top of riser
• Minimum 3.5-foot depth from top of riser to bottom of pond
• Maximum 3:1 interior side slopes and maximum 2:1 exterior slopes. The interior slopes may be
increased to a maximum of 2:1 if fencing is provided at or above the maximum water surface
• One foot of freeboard between the top of the riser and the crest of the emergency spillway
• Flat bottom
• Minimum one foot deep spillway
• Length-to-width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1.
Sizing of Discharge Mechanisms
Principal Spillway: Determine the required diameter for the principal spillway (riser pipe). The diameter
shall be the minimum necessary to pass the developed condition 10-year peak flow using the approved
model with 15-minute time steps (Q10). Use Figure 5.1.4.H (SWDM Chapter 5) to determine this diameter
(h = one foot). Note: A permanent control structure may be used instead of a temporary riser.
Emergency Overflow Spillway: Determine the required size and design of the emergency overflow
spillway for the developed condition 100-year approved model 15-minute peak flow using the procedure
in Section 5.1.1 (“Emergency Overflow Spillway” subsection) of the SWDM.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-50
Dewatering Orifice: Determine the size of the dewatering orifice(s) (minimum 1-inch diameter) using a
modified version of the discharge equation for a vertical orifice and a basic equation for the area of a
circular orifice.
1. Determine the required area of the orifice with the following equation:
hATg
hAA sso)10(81.43600x6.0
)2(6
5.0
5.0 −==
where Ao = orifice area (square feet)
As = pond surface area (square feet)
h = head of water above orifice (height of riser in feet)
T = dewatering time (24 hours)
g = acceleration of gravity (32.2 feet/second2)
2. Convert the required surface area to the required diameter D (inches) of the orifice:
o
o AADx54.13x24==π
3. The vertical, perforated tubing connected to the dewatering orifice must be at least 2 inches larger in
diameter than the orifice to improve flow characteristics. The size and number of perforations in the
tubing should be large enough so that the tubing does not restrict flow. The flow rate should be
controlled by the orifice.
Additional Design Specifications
• The pond shall be divided into two roughly equal volume cells by a permeable divider that will
reduce turbulence while allowing movement of water between cells. The divider shall be at least one-
half the height of the riser and a minimum of one foot below the top of the riser. Wire-backed, 2- to 3-
foot high, extra strength filter fabric (see Section D.2.1.3.1) supported by treated 4″ x 4″s may be used
as a divider. Alternatively, staked straw bales wrapped with filter fabric (geotextile) may be used.
• If the pond is more than 6 feet deep, a different mechanism must be proposed. A riprap embankment
is one acceptable method of separation for deeper ponds. Other designs that satisfy the intent of this
provision are allowed as long as the divider is permeable, structurally sound, and designed to prevent
erosion under or around the barrier.
• To aid in determining sediment depth, one-foot intervals shall be prominently marked on the riser.
• If an embankment of more than 6 feet is proposed, the pond must comply with the criteria under
“Embankments” in Section 5.1.1 of the Surface Water Design Manual.
Maintenance Standards
1. Sediment shall be removed from the pond when it reaches 1 foot in depth.
2. Any damage to the pond embankments or slopes shall be repaired.

D.2.1.5.3 STORM DRAIN INLET PROTECTION
Code: FFP or CBI or CBP Symbol: or or
Purpose
Storm drain inlets are protected to prevent coarse sediment from entering storm drainage systems.
Temporary devices around storm drains assist in improving the quality of water discharged to inlets or
catch basins by ponding sediment-laden water. These devices are effective only for relatively small
drainage areas.
Conditions of Use
1. Protection shall be provided for all storm drain inlets downslope and within 500 feet of a disturbed or
construction area, unless the runoff that enters the catch basin will be conveyed to a sediment pond or
trap.
2. Inlet protection may be used anywhere at the applicant’s discretion to protect the drainage system.
This will, however, require more maintenance, and it is highly likely that the drainage system will still
require some cleaning.
3. The contributing drainage area must not be larger than one acre.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. There are many options for protecting storm drain inlets. Two commonly used options are filter
fabric protection and catch basin inserts. Filter fabric protection (see Figure D.2.1.5.E) is filter fabric
(geotextile) placed over the grate. This method is generally very ineffective and requires intense
maintenance efforts. Catch basin inserts (see Figure D.2.1.5.F) are manufactured devices that nest
inside a catch basin. This method also requires a high frequency of maintenance to be effective. Both
options provide adequate protection, but filter fabric is likely to result in ponding of water above the
3.5' MIN.

catch basin, while the insert will not. Thus, filter fabric is only allowed where ponding will not be a
traffic concern and where slope erosion will not result if the curb is overtopped by ponded water.
Trapping sediment in the catch basins is unlikely to improve the water quality of runoff if it is treated
in a pond or trap because the coarse particles that are trapped at the catch basin settle out very quickly
in the pond or trap. Catch basin protection normally only improves water quality where there is
no treatment facility downstream. In these circumstances, catch basin protection is an important last
line of defense. It is not, however, a substitute for preventing erosion.
The placement of filter fabric under grates is generally prohibited and the use of filter fabric over
grates is strictly limited and discouraged.
2. It is sometimes possible to construct a small sump around the catch basin before final surfacing of the
road. This is allowed because it can be a very effective method of sediment control.
3. Block and gravel filters, gravel and wire mesh filter barriers, and bag barriers filled with various
filtering media placed around catch basins can be effective when the drainage area is 1 acre or less and
flows do not exceed 0.5 cfs. It is necessary to allow for overtopping to prevent flooding. Many
manufacturers have various inlet protection filters that are very effective in keeping sediment-laden
water from entering the storm drainage system. The following are examples of a few common
methods.
a) Block and gravel filters (Figure D.2.1.5.G) are a barrier formed around an inlet with standard
concrete block and gravel, installed as follows:
• Height is 1 to 2 feet above the inlet.
• Recess the first row of blocks 2 inches into the ground for stability.
• Support subsequent rows by placing a 2x4 through the concrete block opening.
• Do not use mortar.
• Lay some blocks in the bottom row on their side for dewatering the pooled water.
• Place cloth or mesh with ½ inch openings over all block openings.
• Place gravel below the top of blocks on slopes of 2:1 or flatter.
• An alternate design is a gravel donut.
b) Gravel and wire mesh filters consist of a gravel barrier placed over the top of an inlet. This
structure generally does not provide overflow. Install as follows:
• Cloth or comparable wire mesh with ½ inch openings is placed over inlet.
• Coarse aggregate covers the cloth or mesh.
• Height/depth of gravel should be 1 foot or more, 18 inches wider than inlet on all sides.
c) Curb inlet protection with a wooden weir is a barrier formed around an inlet with a wooden
frame and gravel, installed as follows:
• Construct a frame and attach wire mesh (½ inch openings) and filter fabric to the frame.
• Pile coarse washed aggregate against the wire/fabric.
• Place weight on frame anchors.
d) Curb and gutter sediment barriers (Figure D.2.1.5.H) consist of sandbags or rock berms (riprap
and aggregate) 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in a horseshoe shape, installed as follows:
• Bags of either burlap or woven geotextile fabric, filled with a variety of media such as gravel,
wood chips, compost or sand stacked tightly allows water to pond and allows sediment to
separate from runoff.
• Leave a “one bag gap” in the top row of the barrier to provide a spillway for overflow.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-54
• Construct a horseshoe shaped berm, faced with coarse aggregate if using riprap, 3 x 3 and at
least 2 feet from the inlet.
• Construct a horseshoe shaped sedimentation trap on the outside of the berm to sediment trap
standards for protecting a culvert inlet.
4. Excavated drop inlet sediment traps are appropriate where relatively heavy flows are expected and
overflow capability is needed. If emergency overflow is provided, additional end-of-pipe treatment
may be required. Excavated drop inlets consist of an excavated impoundment area around a storm
drain. Sediment settles out of the stormwater prior to enter the drain. Install according to the following
specifications:
a) The impoundment area should have a depth of 1 to 2 feet measured from the crest of the inlet
structure.
b) Side slopes of the excavated area must be no steeper than 2:1.
c) Minimum volume of the excavated area should be 35 cubic yards.
d) Install provisions for draining the area to prevent standing water problems.
e) Keep the area clear of debris.
f) Weep holes may be drilled into the side of the inlet.
g) Protect weep holes with wire mesh and washed aggregate.
h) Weep holes must be sealed when removing and stabilizing excavated area.
i) A temporary dike may be necessary on the down slope side of the structure to prevent bypass
flow.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any accumulated sediment on or around inlet protection shall be removed immediately. Sediment
shall not be removed with water, and all sediment must be disposed of as fill on site or hauled off site.
2. Any sediment in the catch basin insert shall be removed when the sediment has filled one-third of the
available storage. The filter media for the insert shall be cleaned or replaced at least monthly.
3. Regular maintenance is critical for all forms of catch basin/inlet protection. Unlike many forms of
protection that fail gradually, catch basin protection will fail suddenly and completely if not
maintained properly.

D.2.1.6 SURFACE WATER COLLECTION
All surface water from disturbed areas shall be intercepted, conveyed to a sediment pond or trap, and
discharged downslope of any disturbed areas. An exception is for areas at the perimeter of the site with
drainage areas small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection (see Section D.2.1.3). Also, if
the soils and topography are such that no offsite discharge of surface water is anticipated up to and
including the developed 2-year runoff event, surface water controls are not required. A 10-year approved
model 15-minute peak flow shall be used for sizing surface water controls if the project size, expected
timing and duration of construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection (see the
introduction to Section D.2.1.5). At the City’s discretion, sites may be worked during the dry season
without surface water controls, if there is some other form of protection of surface waters, such as a
100-foot forested buffer between the disturbed areas and adjacent surface waters. Significant sources of
upslope surface water that drain onto disturbed areas shall be intercepted and conveyed to a stabilized
discharge point downslope of the disturbed areas. Surface water controls shall be installed concurrently
with rough grading.
Purpose: The purpose of surface water control is to collect and convey surface water so that erosion is
minimized, and runoff from disturbed areas is treated by a sediment pond or trap. Surface water control
essentially consists of three elements:
1. Interception of runoff on and above slopes
2. Conveyance of the runoff to a sediment pond or trap (if the runoff was collected from a disturbed
area)
3. Release of the runoff downslope of any disturbed areas.
When to Install: Surface water controls shall be constructed during the initial grading of an area and must
be in place before there is any opportunity for storm runoff to cause erosion.
Measures to Install: Interceptor dikes/swales intercept runoff, ditches and pipe slope drains convey the
runoff, and riprap or level spreaders help release the runoff in a non-erosive manner. Each measure is to be
used under different circumstances so there is very little overlap. However, the two options for releasing
water in a non-erosive manner, outlet protection and level spreaders, can be somewhat interchangeable.
See Figure D.2.1.6.A for a schematic drawing demonstrating the use of these measures.

FIGURE D.2.1.6.A SKETCH PLAN OF SURFACE WATER CONTROLS
D.2.1.6.1 INTERCEPTOR DIKE AND SWALE
Code: ID or IS Symbol: or
Purpose
Interceptor dikes and swales intercept storm runoff from drainage areas on or above disturbed slopes and
convey it to a sediment pond or trap. They may also be used to intercept runoff from undisturbed areas and
convey the runoff to a point below any exposed soils. Interception of surface water reduces the possibility
of slope erosion. Interceptor dikes and swales differ from ditches (see Section D.2.1.6.4) in that they are
intended to convey smaller flows along low-gradient drainage ways to larger conveyance systems such as
ditches or pipe slope drains.
Conditions of Use
Interceptor dikes and swales are required in the following situations:
1. At the top of all slopes in excess of 3H:1V and with more than 20 feet of vertical relief.
2. At intervals on any slope that exceeds the dimensions specified in this section for the horizontal
spacing of dikes and swales.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.B for details of an interceptor dike and Figure D.2.1.6.C for an interceptor swale.
2. Interceptor dikes and swales shall be spaced horizontally as follows:
Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length
20H:1V or less 3–5% 300 feet
(10 to 20)H:1V 5–10% 200 feet
(4 to 10)H:1V 10–25% 100 feet

3. For slopes steeper than 2H:1V with more than 10 feet of vertical relief, benches may be constructed
or closer spaced interceptor dikes or swales may be used. Whichever measure is chosen, the spacing
and capacity of the measures must be designed by the engineer and the design must include provisions
for effectively intercepting the high velocity runoff associated with steep slopes.
4. If the dike or swale intercepts runoff from disturbed areas, it shall discharge to a stable conveyance
system that routes the runoff to a sediment pond or trap (see Section D.2.1.5). If the dike or swale
intercepts runoff that originates from undisturbed areas, it shall discharge to a stable conveyance
system that routes the runoff downslope of any disturbed areas and releases the water at a stabilized
outlet.
5. Construction traffic over temporary dikes and swales shall be minimized.
Maintenance Standards
1. Damage resulting from runoff or construction activity shall be repaired immediately.
2. If the facilities do not regularly retain storm runoff, the capacity and/or frequency of the dikes/swales
shall be increased.

D.2.1.6.2 PIPE SLOPE DRAINS
Code: PD Symbol:
Purpose
Pipe slope drains are designed to carry concentrated runoff down steep slopes without causing erosion, or
saturation of slide-prone soils. Pipe slope drains may be used to divert water away from or over bare soil
to prevent gullies, channel erosion, and saturation of slide prone soils
Conditions of Use
Pipe slope drains should be used when a temporary or permanent stormwater conveyance is needed to
move water down a steep slope to avoid erosion. Pipe slope drains may be:
1. Connected to new catch basins and used temporarily until all permanent piping is installed.
2. Used on any slope with a gradient of 2H:1V or greater and with at least 10 feet of vertical relief.
3. Used to drain water collected from aquifers exposed on cut slopes and convey it to the base of the
slope.
4. Used to collect clean runoff from plastic sheet cover and direct away from any exposed soils.
5. Installed in conjunction with silt fence to drain collected water to a controlled area.
6. Used to divert small seasonal streams away from construction. Pipe slope drains have been used
successfully on culvert replacement and extension projects. Large flex pipe may be used on larger
streams during culvert removal, repair, or replacement.
7. Connected to existing downspouts and roof drains used to divert water away from work areas during
building renovation, demolition, and construction projects.
8. Rock-lined ditches or other permanent, non-erosive conveyances used to convey runoff down steep
slopes that are not steep slope hazard areas.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.D for details.
2. The capacity for temporary drains shall be sufficient to handle the developed 10-year peak flow using
the approved model with 15-minute time steps. Up to 30,000 square feet may be drained by each
6-inch minimum diameter pipe without computation of the peak flow. Up to 2 acres may be drained
by each 12-inch minimum diameter pipe. Otherwise, the peak flow will need to be computed using the
Rational Method described in Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM.
3. The maximum drainage area allowed for any sized pipe is 10 acres. For larger areas, more than one
pipe shall be used or a rock-lined channel shall be installed (see SWDM Section 4.4.1, “Open
Channels”).
4. The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be thoroughly compacted.
5. The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain and be fused or welded, or have
flange-bolted mechanical joints to ensure a watertight seal. Ensure that the entrance area is stable and
large enough to direct flow into the pipe.
6. Slope drains shall be continuously fused, welded, or flange-bolted mechanical joint pipe systems with
proper anchoring to the soil.
7. Where slope drains cross steep slope hazard areas or their associated buffers, the installation shall be
on the ground surface, accomplished with minimum alteration. In most circumstances, this requires
that slope drains be constructed of corrugated metal, CPE, or equivalent pipe and installed by hand

(see SWDM Section 4.2.1). Any area disturbed during installation or maintenance must be
immediately stabilized.
8. If the pipe slope drain will convey sediment-laden runoff, the runoff must be directed to a sediment
retention facility (see Section D.2.1.5). If the runoff is not from a disturbed area or is conveyed from a
sediment trap or pond, it must be conveyed to a stabilized discharge point (see Section D.2.1.6.5).
9. Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by the installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. The inlet shall not be undercut or bypassed by water. If there are problems, the head wall shall be
appropriately reinforced.
2. No erosion shall occur at the outlet point. If erosion occurs, additional protection shall be added.

D.2.1.6.3 SUBSURFACE DRAINS
Purpose
To intercept, collect, and convey ground water to a satisfactory outlet, using a perforated pipe or conduit
below the ground surface. Subsurface drains are also known as “French Drains.” The perforated pipe
provides a dewatering mechanism to drain excessively wet soils, provide a stable base for construction,
improve stability of structures with shallow foundations, or to reduce hydrostatic pressure and to improve
slope stability.
Conditions of Use
Use when excessive water must be removed from the soil. The soil permeability, depth to water table, and
impervious layers are all factors that may govern the use of subsurface drains.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Two types of drains may be used as follows:
a) Relief drains are used either to lower the water table in large, relatively flat areas, improve the
growth of vegetation, or to remove surface water. They are installed along a slope and drain in the
direction of the slope. They may be installed in a grid pattern, a herringbone pattern, or a random
pattern.
b) Interceptor drains are used to remove excess groundwater from a slope, stabilize steep slopes,
and lower the water table below a slope to prevent the soil from becoming saturated. They are

installed perpendicular to a slope and drain to the side of the slope. They usually consist of a
single pipe or single pipes instead of a patterned layout.
2. Size of Drains – Size subsurface drains to carry the required capacity without pressurized flow.
Minimum diameter for a subsurface drain is 4 inches.
3. Outlet – Ensure that the outlet of a drain empties into a channel or other watercourse above the
normal water level.
Maintenance Standards
1. Subsurface drains shall be checked periodically to ensure that they are free flowing and not clogged
with sediment or roots.
2. The outlet shall be kept clear and free of debris.
3. Surface inlets shall be kept open and free of sediment and other debris.
4. Trees located too close to a subsurface drain often clog the system with roots. If a drain becomes
clogged, relocate the drain or remove the trees as a last resort. Drain placement should be planned to
minimize this problem.
5. Where drains are crossed by heavy equipment, the line shall be checked to ensure that it is not crushed
and have adequate cover protection.
D.2.1.6.4 DITCHES
Code: DI Symbol:
Purpose
Ditches convey intercepted runoff from disturbed areas to and from sediment ponds or traps. They also
convey runoff intercepted from undisturbed areas around the site to a non-erosive discharge point.
Conditions of Use
Ditches may be used anywhere that concentrated runoff is to be conveyed on or around the construction
site. Temporary pipe systems may also be used to convey runoff.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Channels and ditches shall be sized to accommodate the developed condition 10-year approved model
15-minute peak flow with 0.5 feet of freeboard. If no hydrologic analysis is required for the site, the
Rational Method may be used (see Section 3.2.1 of the SWDM).
2. See SWDM Section 4.4.1 for open-channel design requirements.
3. The only exception to the requirements of SWDM Section 4.4.1 is the use of check dams, rather than
grass lining, for channels in which the design flow velocity does not exceed 5 fps. See Figure
D.2.1.6.E for details on check dam installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any sediment deposition of more than 0.5 feet shall be removed so that the channel is restored to its
design capacity.
2. If the channel capacity is insufficient for the design flow, it must be determined whether the problem
is local (e.g., a constriction or bend) or the channel is under-designed. If the problem is local, the
channel capacity must be increased through construction of a berm(s) or by excavation. If the problem
is under-design, the design engineer shall be notified and the channel redesigned to a more
conservative standard to be approved by the City of Renton.
3. The channel shall be examined for signs of scouring and erosion of the bed and banks. If scouring or
erosion has occurred, affected areas shall be protected by riprap or an erosion control blanket or net.

D.2.1.6.5 OUTLET PROTECTION
Code: OP Symbol:
Purpose
Outlet protection prevents scour at conveyance outlets.
Conditions of Use
Outlet protection is required at the outlets of all ponds, pipes, ditches, or other approved conveyances, and
where runoff is conveyed to a natural or manmade drainage feature such as a stream, wetland, lake, or
ditch.
Design and Installation Specifications
For the standard pipe slope drains in Section D.2.1.6.2 and other smaller conveyance systems, the standard
rock pad (6 feet by 8 feet) made of 1-foot thick quarry spall is adequate. For all other outlets, the outlet
protection shall meet the requirements of the “Outfalls” section of Core Requirement #4 and Section 4.2.2
of the SWDM.
Maintenance Standards for Outlet Protection
If there is scour at the outlet, the eroded area shall be protected with more conservative measures proposed
by the design engineer and approved by the City of Renton.

D.2.1.6.6 LEVEL SPREADER
Code: LS Symbol:
Purpose
Level spreaders convert concentrated runoff to sheet flow and release it onto areas stabilized by existing
vegetation.
Conditions of Use
Level spreaders may be used where runoff from undisturbed areas or sediment retention facilities is
discharged. This practice applies only where the spreader can be constructed on undisturbed soil and the
area below the level lip is vegetated and low gradient (see below).
Note: Level spreaders are conceptually an ideal way to release stormwater since the vegetation and soil
allow for the removal of fines from runoff that cannot be removed by settling or filtration. Unfortunately,
the performance record of spreaders in the field is dismal. They are frequently under-designed and,
despite the best installations, are rarely perfectly level, which results in the release of stormwater at a
particular point. This concentrated runoff can result in catastrophic erosion downslope. Given such
design failures, the use of spreaders is not encouraged. However, where slopes are gentle and the water
volume is relatively low, spreaders may still be the best method. When proposing their use, the designer
shall carefully evaluate the site for possible concerns.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.F for detail. Other designs may be used subject to City approval.
2. If runoff velocity as it enters the level spreader is more than 4 fps for the developed condition 10-year
approved model 15-minute peak flow, a riprap apron must be provided to dissipate energy before the
runoff enters the spreader (Section D.2.1.6.5).
3. The total spreader length shall be at least the square root of the catchment area. The maximum
length for an individual spreader is 50 feet, limiting the catchment area that a single spreader may
serve to 2500 square feet. Although this is very small, four 50-foot level spreaders next to one another
could serve nearly an acre (40,000 square feet). Multiple spreaders shall not be placed uphill or
downhill from one another in a configuration that would allow water released from one spreader to
enter a downslope spreader.
4. The area below the spreader for a horizontal distance of 100 feet shall not exceed 20 percent and shall
be completely vegetated with no areas of instability or erosion. The topography for a horizontal
distance of 50 feet below the spreader shall be uniform so that runoff is not funneled into a swale or
channel immediately after its release.
5. The level spreader shall be seeded and mulched in accordance with Section D.2.1.2.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any damage to the spreader shall be immediately repaired. Ensure flows do not bypass the spreader at
the ends of the spreader.
2. The downslope area shall be checked for signs of erosion and to verify that the spreader is not
functioning as a point discharge. Any eroded areas shall be immediately stabilized, and the cause
determined and eliminated if possible. If the erosion is recurrent and the design, even when properly
installed and maintained, is not adequate to prevent erosion, a new method of releasing runoff shall be
installed in accordance with the standards of this appendix. Any new design must be approved by the
City of Renton.

D.2.1.7 DEWATERING CONTROL
Any runoff generated by dewatering shall be treated through construction of a sediment trap
(Section D.2.1.5.1) when there is sufficient space or by releasing the water to a well vegetated, gently
sloping area. Since pumps are used for dewatering, it may be possible to pump the sediment-laden water
well away from the surface water so that vegetation can be more effectively utilized for treatment.
Discharge of sediment-laden water from dewatering activities to surface and storm waters is prohibited. If
dewatering occurs from areas where the water has come in contact with new concrete, such as tanks,
vaults, or foundations, the pH of the water must be monitored and must be neutralized prior to discharge.
Clean non-turbid dewatering water, such as well point ground water can be discharged to systems tributary
to, or directly to surface waters provided the flows are controlled so no erosion or flooding occurs. Clean
water must not be routed through a stormwater sediment pond. Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering
water must be handled separately from stormwater.
Purpose: To prevent the untreated discharge of sediment-laden water from dewatering of utilities,
excavated areas, foundations, etc.
When to Install: Dewatering control measures shall be used whenever there is a potential for runoff from
dewatering of utilities, excavations, foundations, etc.
Measures to install:
1. Foundation, vault, excavation, and trench dewatering water that has similar characteristics to
stormwater runoff at the site shall be discharged into a controlled conveyance system prior to
discharge to a sediment trap or sediment pond. Foundation and trench dewatering water that has
similar characteristics to stormwater runoff at the site must be disposed of through one of the
following options depending on site constraints:
a) Infiltration,
b) Transport offsite in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a manner that
does not pollute surface waters,

2. Clean, non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-point ground water, may be discharged via stable
conveyance to systems tributary to surface waters, provided the dewatering flow does not cause
erosion or flooding of receiving waters.
3. Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water (high pH or other) shall be handled separately
from stormwater. See Section D.2.2 , SWPPS Measures.
D.2.1.8 DUST CONTROL
Preventative measures to minimize the wind transport of soil shall be taken when a traffic hazard may be
created or when sediment transported by wind is likely to be deposited in water resources or adjacent
properties.
Purpose: To prevent wind transport of dust from exposed soil surfaces onto roadways, drainage ways, and
surface waters.
When to Install: Dust control shall be implemented when exposed soils are dry to the point that wind
transport is possible and roadways, drainage ways, or surface waters are likely to be impacted. Dust
control measures may consist of chemical, structural, or mechanical methods.
Measures to Install: Water is the most common dust control (or palliative) used in the area. When using
water for dust control, the exposed soils shall be sprayed until wet, but runoff shall not be generated by
spraying. Calcium chloride, Magnesium chloride, Lignin derivatives, Tree Resin Emulsions, and Synthetic
Polymer Emulsions may also be used for dust control. Exposed areas shall be re-sprayed as needed. Oil
shall not be used for dust control. The following table lists many common dust control measures. Some of
the measures are not recommended for use in the City and must have prior approval prior to use from the
CED inspector assigned to specific projects.

D.2.1.9 FLOW CONTROL
Surface water from disturbed areas must be routed through the project’s onsite flow control facility or
other provisions must made to prevent increases in the existing site conditions 2-year and 10-year runoff
peaks discharging from the project site during construction.
Purpose: The purpose of surface water flow control is to mitigate increases in runoff peaks that occur
during construction as a result of clearing vegetation, compacting the soil, and adding impervious surface.
Such increases can cause or aggravate downstream flooding and erosion.
D.2.1 ESC MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-69
When to Install: Surface water flow control shall be installed or otherwise provided prior to any clearing
and/or grading of the site, except that required to construct the surface water flow control facilities.
Measures to Use: The project’s onsite flow control facility or other equivalent storage facility that meets
the peak-matching performance criteria stated above.
D.2.1.10 PROTECT EXISTING AND PROPOSED STORMWATER FACILITIES AND
ON-SITE BMPS
Protection measures shall be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent adverse impacts to existing
stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and areas of proposed stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs for
the project. Adverse impacts can prompt the requirement to restore or replace affected stormwater
facilities and on-site BMPs.
Purpose: The purpose of protecting existing and proposed stormwater facility and on-site BMP areas is to
avoid sedimentation and soil compaction that would adversely affect infiltration, and also avoid
contamination by other pollutants.
When to Install: Stormwater facility and on-site BMP area protection shall be installed or otherwise
provided prior to any clearing and/or grading of the site, except that required to construct stormwater
facilities and on-site BMPs.
Measures to Use:
1. Protect all stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and proposed stormwater facility and on-site BMP
footprints from sedimentation through installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control
BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the BMPs/facilities.
2. Stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs shall be restored to their fully functioning condition if they
accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring the stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs shall
include, at a minimum, removal of sediment and any sediment-laden bioretention soils, and replacing
the removed soils with soils meeting the design specification. Replacement with a new fully-
functioning stormwater facility and/or on-site BMP may be required if restoration to the fully-
functioning condition can’t be accomplished.
3. Prevent compacting Bioretention BMPs/facilities by excluding construction equipment and foot
traffic. Protect completed lawn and landscaped areas from compaction due to construction equipment.
4. Control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from surrounding land uses onto permeable pavement
BMPs. Do not allow muddy construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not allow
sediment-laden runoff onto permeable pavements.
5. Permeable pavement BMPs fouled with sediments or no longer passing an initial infiltration text must
be cleaned using procedures from Appendix A or the manufacturer’s procedures.
6. Keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs that have
been excavated to final grade to retain the infiltration rate of the soils.
D.2.1.11 MAINTAIN PROTECTIVE BMPS
Protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended function, to
prevent adverse impacts to existing stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs and areas of proposed
BMPs/facilities, and protect other disturbed areas of the project.
Purpose: The purpose of maintaining protective BMPs is to provide continuous erosion and sediment
control protection throughout the life of the project, and avoid sedimentation, soil compaction and
contamination by other pollutants that would adversely affect infiltration and surface runoff.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-70
When to Maintain: Protection measures shall be monitored per Section D.2.4.4 at a minimum, and
promptly maintained to fully functioning condition as necessary to ensure continued performance of their
intended function.
Measures to Use:
1. Maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs as needed to
ensure continued performance of their intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
2. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs prior to final construction approval, or
within 30 days after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer
needed.
3. Provide protection to all stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. All stormwater facilities and on-site BMPs that are to
remain in place following completion of construction shall be examined and placed in full operating
conditions. If sediment enters the stormwater facilities and/or on-site BMPs during construction, it
shall be removed and the stormwater facility and on-site BMP shall be returned to the conditions
specified in the construction documents or as required for full stormwater facility and on-site BMP
replacement.
4. Remove or stabilize trapped sediment on site. Permanently stabilize disturbed soil resulting from
removal of erosion and sediment control BMPs or vegetation.
D.2.1.12 MANAGE THE PROJECT
Coordination and timing of site development activities relative to ESC concerns (Section D.2.4), and
timely inspection, maintenance and update of protective measures (Section D.2.3) are necessary to
effectively manage the project and ensure the success of protective ESC and SWPPS design and
implementation.
Projects shall assign a qualified CSWPP Supervisor (Section D.2.3.1) to be the primary contact for ESC
and SWPPP issues and reporting, coordination with subcontractors and implementation of the CSWPP
plan as a whole.
Measures to Use:
1. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work
limits.
2. Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to ensure continued
performance of their intended function. Conduct site inspections and monitoring in accordance with
the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements.
3. Maintaining an updated construction SWPPP – Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP in
accordance with the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements.
4. Projects that disturb one or more acres must have, site inspections conducted by a Certified Erosion
and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) (see Section D.2.3.1). Project sites less than one acre (not part
of a larger common plan of development or sale) may have a person without CESCL certification
conduct inspections. By the initiation of construction, the SWPPP must identify the CESCL or
inspector, who shall be present onsite or on-call at all times.
The CESCL or inspector (project sites less than one acre) must have the skills to assess the:
• Site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of stormwater.
• Effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the quality of stormwater
discharges.
• The CESCL or inspector must examine stormwater visually for the presence of suspended
sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen. They must evaluate the effectiveness of BMPs
and determine if it is necessary to install, maintain, or repair BMPs to improve the quality of
stormwater discharges.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-71
Based on the results of the inspection, construction site operators must correct the problems identified
by:
• Reviewing the SWPPP for compliance with all construction SWPPP elements and making
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection.
• Immediately beginning the process of fully implementing and maintaining appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the problems not later than within
10 days of the inspection. If installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10
days, the construction site operator may request an extension within the initial 10-day response
period.
• Documenting BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book (applies only to sites
that have coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit).
• The CESCL or inspector must inspect all areas disturbed by construction activities, all BMPs, and
all stormwater discharge points at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any
discharge from the site. (For purposes of this condition, individual discharge events that last more
than one day do not require daily inspections. For example, if a stormwater pond discharges
continuously over the course of a week, only one inspection is required that week.) The CESCL
or inspector may reduce the inspection frequency for temporary stabilized, inactive sites to once
every calendar month.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
This section details the SWPPS measures that are required to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of
pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or watercourses from construction-related activities
such as materials delivery and storage, onsite equipment fueling and maintenance, demolition of existing
buildings and disposition of demolition materials and other waste, and concrete handling, washout and
disposal. These SWPPS measures represent Best Management Practices (BMPs)8 for the control of
pollutant drips and spills as well as other impacts related to construction such as increased pH in concrete
construction and handling activities. Compliance with each of the SWPPS measures, and with any project-
specific control measures, to the extent applicable and necessary to meet the performance criteria in
Section D.2.2, and compliance with the CSWPP implementation requirements in Section D.2.4, constitutes
overall compliance with the City’s CSWPP Standards.
Note: Additional measures shall be required by the City if the existing standards are insufficient to protect
adjacent properties, drainage facilities, or water resources.
The standards for each individual SWPPS measure are divided into four sections:
1. Purpose
2. Conditions of Use
3. Design and Installation Specifications
4. Maintenance Requirements.
Note that the “Conditions of Use” always refers to site conditions. As site conditions change, SWPPS
measures must be changed to remain in compliance with the requirements of this appendix.
Whenever compliance with City SWPPS Standards is required, all of the following SWPPS measures must
be considered for application to the project site as detailed in the following sections. The construction
pollutant generating concerns addressed by the BMPs that follow include:
• Concrete handling, washout and disposal(specifically portland cement concrete)
• Sawcutting and surfacing activities
• Materials delivery, storage and containment
8 Best Management Practices (BMPs) means the best available and reasonable physical, structural, managerial, or behavioral
activities, that when singly or in combination, eliminate or reduce the contamination of surface and/or ground waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-72
• Filtration and chemical treatment of construction water to facilitate disposal or discharge to approved
locations
• Reporting requirements and documentation availability for specific BMP processes
Additionally, several of the ESC BMPs described in Section D.2.1 can be applicable to the SWPPS plan,
e.g., use of cover, fencing and access protection to protect temporary materials storage locations. The
applicant’s material supplier may be a resource (subject to City approval) for BMPs to address specific
project applications or proposals. Conditions of approval on adjustments may also specify additional
requirements for the SWPPS plan.
D.2.2.1 CONCRETE HANDLING
Purpose
Concrete work can generate process water and slurry that contain fine particles and high pH, both of which
can violate water quality standards in the receiving water. Concrete spillage or concrete discharge to
surface waters of the State is prohibited. Use this BMP to minimize and eliminate concrete, concrete
process water, and concrete slurry from entering waters of the state.
Conditions of Use
Any time concrete is used, utilize these management practices. Concrete construction projects include, but
are not limited to, curbs, sidewalks, roads, bridges, foundations, floors, stormwater vaults, retaining walls,
driveways and runways.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Ensure that washout of concrete trucks, chutes, pumps, and internals is performed at an approved off-
site location or in designated concrete washout areas. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the
ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams. Refer to BMP D.2.2.2 for information
on concrete washout areas.
2. Return unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump to the originating batch plant for recycling.
Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated concrete washout areas.
3. Wash off hand tools including, but not limited to, screeds, shovels, rakes, floats, and trowels into
formed areas only.
4. Wash equipment difficult to move, such as concrete pavers in areas that do not directly drain to
natural or constructed stormwater conveyances.
5. Do not allow washdown from areas, such as concrete aggregate driveways, to drain directly to natural
or constructed stormwater conveyances.
6. Contain washwater and leftover product in a lined container when no formed areas are available,.
Dispose of contained concrete in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface water quality
standards.
7. Always use forms or solid barriers for concrete pours, such as pilings, within 15-feet of surface
waters.
8. Refer to BMPs D.2.2.7 and D.2.2.8 for pH adjustment requirements.
9. Refer to the Construction Stormwater General Permit for pH monitoring requirements if the project
involves one of the following activities:
• Significant concrete work (greater than 1,000 cubic yards poured concrete or recycled concrete
used over the life of a project).
• The use of engineered soils amended with (but not limited to) Portland cement-treated base,
cement kiln dust or fly ash.
• Discharging stormwater to segments of water bodies on the 303(d) list (Category 5) for high pH.
Maintenance Standards
Check containers for holes in the liner daily during concrete pours and repair the same day.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-73
D.2.2.2 CONCRETE WASHOUT AREA
Purpose
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from concrete waste by conducting washout
off-site, or performing onsite washout in a designated area to prevent pollutants from entering surface
waters or ground water.
Conditions of Use
Concrete washout area best management practices are implemented on construction projects where:
• Concrete is used as a construction material
• It is not possible to dispose of all concrete wastewater and washout off-site (ready mix plant, etc.).
• Concrete trucks, pumpers, or other concrete coated equipment are washed onsite.
Note: If less than 10 concrete trucks or pumpers need to be washed out onsite, the washwater may be
disposed of in a formed area awaiting concrete or an upland disposal site where it will not contaminate
surface or ground water. The upland disposal site shall be at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as
storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies, including wetlands.
Design and Installation Specifications
Implementation
The following steps will help reduce stormwater pollution from concrete wastes:
1. Perform washout of concrete trucks at an approved off-site location or in designated concrete washout
areas only.
2. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or
streams.
3. Do not allow excess concrete to be dumped onsite, except in designated concrete washout areas.
4. Concrete washout areas may be prefabricated concrete washout containers, or self-installed structures
(above-grade or below-grade).
5. Prefabricated containers are most resistant to damage and protect against spills and leaks. Companies
may offer delivery service and provide regular maintenance and disposal of solid and liquid waste.
6. If self-installed concrete washout areas are used, below-grade structures are preferred over above-
grade structures because they are less prone to spills and leaks.

Location and Placement
1. Locate washout area at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as storm drains, open ditches, or water
bodies, including wetlands.
2. Allow convenient access for concrete trucks, preferably near the area where the concrete is being
poured.
3. If trucks need to leave a paved area to access washout, prevent track-out with a pad of rock or quarry

D.2.2.3 SAWCUTTING AND SURFACING POLLUTION PREVENTION
Purpose
Sawcutting and surfacing operations generate slurry and process water that contains fine particles and high
pH (concrete cutting), both of which can violate the water quality standards in the receiving water.
Concrete spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. Use this BMP to
minimize and eliminate process water and slurry created through sawcutting or surfacing from entering
waters of the State.
Conditions of Use
Utilize these management practices anytime sawcutting or surfacing operations take place. Sawcutting and
surfacing operations include, but are not limited to, sawing, coring, grinding, roughening, hydro-
demolition, bridge and road surfacing
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Vacuum slurry and cuttings during cutting and surfacing operations.
2. Slurry and cuttings shall not remain on permanent concrete or asphalt pavement overnight.
3. Slurry and cuttings shall not drain to any natural or constructed drainage conveyance including
stormwater systems. This may require temporarily blocking catch basins.
4. Dispose of collected slurry and cuttings in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface
water quality standards.
5. Do not allow process water generated during hydro-demolition, surface roughening or similar
operations to drain to any natural or constructed drainage conveyance including stormwater systems.
Dispose process water in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface water quality
standards.
6. Handle and dispose cleaning waste material and demolition debris in a manner that does not cause
contamination of water. Dispose of sweeping material from a pick-up sweeper at an appropriate
disposal site.
Maintenance Standards
Continually monitor operations to determine whether slurry, cuttings, or process water could enter waters
of the state. If inspections show that a violation of water quality standards could occur, stop operations and
immediately implement preventive measures such as berms, barriers, secondary containment, and vacuum
trucks.
D.2.2.4 MATERIAL DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND CONTAINMENT
Purpose
Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to the stormwater system or watercourses from
material delivery and storage. Minimize the storage of hazardous materials onsite, store materials in a
designated area, and install secondary containment.
Conditions of Use
These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with delivery and storage of the following
materials:
• Petroleum products such as fuel, oil and grease
• Soil stabilizers and binders (e.g., Polyacrylamide)
• Fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides
• Detergents
• Asphalt and concrete compounds
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-79
• Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, adhesives, paints, solvents and curing compounds
• Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the environment
Design and Installation Specifications
The following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
1. Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic, near the construction
entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm drains.
2. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all materials stored. Chemicals should be
kept in their original labeled containers.
3. Hazardous material storage onsite should be minimized.
4. Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible.
5. During the wet weather season (October 1 – April 30), consider storing materials in a covered area.
6. Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen dike, horse trough, or even a
children’s wading pool for non-reactive materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small
amounts of material may be secondarily contained in “bus boy” trays or concrete mixing trays.
7. Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the ground. Place these items on a
pallet and, when possible, and within secondary containment.
8. If drums must be kept uncovered, store them at a slight angle to reduce ponding of rainwater on the
lids to reduce corrosion. Domed plastic covers are inexpensive and snap to the top of drums,
preventing water from collecting.
Material Storage Areas and Secondary Containment Practices:
1. Liquids, petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or 302 shall be stored in
approved containers and drums and shall not be overfilled. Containers and drums shall be stored in
temporary secondary containment facilities.
2. Temporary secondary containment facilities shall provide for a spill containment volume able to
contain 10% of the total enclosed container volume of all containers, or 110% of the capacity of the
largest container within its boundary, whichever is greater.
3. Secondary containment facilities shall be impervious to the materials stored therein for a minimum
contact time of 72 hours.
4. Secondary containment facilities shall be maintained free of accumulated rainwater and spills. In the
event of spills or leaks, accumulated rainwater and spills shall be collected and placed into drums.
These liquids shall be handled as hazardous waste unless testing determines them to be non-
hazardous.
5. Sufficient separation should be provided between stored containers to allow for spill cleanup and
emergency response access.
6. During the wet weather season (October 1 – April 30), each secondary containment facility shall be
covered during non-working days, prior to and during rain events.
7. Keep material storage areas clean, organized and equipped with an ample supply of appropriate spill
clean-up material (spill kit).
8. The spill kit should include, at a minimum:
• 1-Water Resistant Nylon Bag
• 3-Oil Absorbent Socks 3″ x 4′
• 2-Oil Absorbent Socks 3″ x 10′
• 12-Oil Absorbent Pads 17″ x 19″

D.2.2.5 CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER CHEMICAL TREATMENT
Purpose
This BMP applies when using stormwater chemicals in batch treatment or flow-through treatment.
Turbidity is difficult to control once fine particles are suspended in stormwater runoff from a construction
site. Sedimentation ponds are effective at removing larger particulate matter by gravity settling, but are
ineffective at removing smaller particulates such as clay and fine silt. Traditional erosion and sediment
control BMPs may not be adequate to ensure compliance with the water quality standards for turbidity in
receiving water.
Chemical treatment can reliably provide exceptional reductions of turbidity and associated pollutants.
Chemical treatment may be required to meet turbidity stormwater discharge requirements, especially when
construction is to proceed through the wet season.
Conditions of Use
Formal written approval from Ecology is required for the use of chemical treatment regardless of
site size. The City also requires review and approval. When approved, the chemical treatment systems
must be included in the SWPPS portion of the project’s CSWPP.
Design and Installation Specifications
Coagulation and flocculation have been used for over a century to treat water. It is used less frequently for
the treatment of wastewater. The use of coagulation and flocculation for treating stormwater is a very
recent application. Experience with the treatment of water and wastewater has resulted in a basic
understanding of the process, in particular factors that affect performance. This experience can provide
insights as to how to most effectively design and operate similar systems in the treatment of stormwater.
Fine particles suspended in water give it a milky appearance, measured as turbidity. Their small size, often
much less than 1 μm in diameter, give them a very large surface area relative to their volume. These fine
particles typically carry a negative surface charge. Largely because of these two factors, small size and
negative charge, these particles tend to stay in suspension for extended periods of time. Thus, removal is
not practical by gravity settling. These are called stable suspensions. Polymers, as well as inorganic
chemicals such as alum, speed the process of clarification. The added chemical destabilizes the suspension
and causes the smaller particles to agglomerate. The process consists of three steps: coagulation,
flocculation, and settling or clarification. Each step is explained below as well as the factors that affect the
efficiency of the process.
Coagulation: Coagulation is the first step. It is the process by which negative charges on the fine particles
that prevent their agglomeration are disrupted. Chemical addition is one method of destabilizing the
suspension, and polymers are one class of chemicals that are generally effective. Chemicals that are used
for this purpose are called coagulants. Coagulation is complete when the suspension is destabilized by the
neutralization of the negative charges. Coagulants perform best when they are thoroughly and evenly
dispersed under relatively intense mixing. This rapid mixing involves adding the coagulant in a manner
that promotes rapid dispersion, followed by a short time period for destabilization of the particle
suspension. The particles are still very small and are not readily separated by clarification until
flocculation occurs.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-81
Flocculation: Flocculation is the process by which fine particles that have been destabilized bind together
to form larger particles that settle rapidly. Flocculation begins naturally following coagulation, but is
enhanced by gentle mixing of the destabilized suspension. Gentle mixing helps to bring particles in contact
with one another such that they bind and continually grow to form “flocs.” As the size of the flocs
increases they become heavier and tend to settle more rapidly.
Clarification: The final step is the settling of the particles. Particle density, size and shape are important
during settling. Dense, compact flocs settle more readily than less dense, fluffy flocs. Because of this,
flocculation to form dense, compact flocs is particularly important during water treatment. Water
temperature is important during settling. Both the density and viscosity of water are affected by
temperature; these in turn affect settling. Cold temperatures increase viscosity and density, thus slowing
down the rate at which the particles settle.
The conditions under which clarification is achieved can affect performance. Currents can affect settling.
Currents can be produced by wind, by differences between the temperature of the incoming water and the
water in the clarifier, and by flow conditions near the inlets and outlets.
Quiescent water such as that which occurs during batch clarification provides a good environment for
effective performance as many of these factors become less important in comparison to typical
sedimentation basins. One source of currents that is likely important in batch systems is movement of the
water leaving the clarifier unit. Given that flocs are relatively small and light the exit velocity of the water
must be as low as possible. Sediment on the bottom of the basin can be resuspended and removed by fairly
modest velocities.
Coagulants: Polymers are large organic molecules that are made up of subunits linked together in a chain-
like structure. Attached to these chain-like structures are other groups that carry positive or negative
charges, or have no charge. Polymers that carry groups with positive charges are called cationic, those
with negative charges are called anionic, and those with no charge (neutral) are called nonionic.
Cationic polymers can be used as coagulants to destabilize negatively charged turbidity particles present in
natural waters, wastewater and stormwater. Aluminum sulfate (alum) can also be used as this chemical
becomes positively charged when dispersed in water. In practice, the only way to determine whether a
polymer is effective for a specific application is to perform preliminary or onsite testing.
Polymers are available as powders, concentrated liquids, and emulsions (which appear as milky liquids).
The latter are petroleum based, which are not allowed for construction stormwater treatment. Polymer
effectiveness can degrade with time and also from other influences. Thus, manufacturers’
recommendations for storage should be followed. Manufacturer’s recommendations usually do not provide
assurance of water quality protection or safety to aquatic organisms. Consideration of water quality
protection is necessary in the selection and use of all polymers.
Criteria for Chemical Treatment Product Use:
Chemically treated stormwater discharged from construction sites must be nontoxic to aquatic organisms.
The Chemical Technology Assessment Protocol (CTAPE) must be used to evaluate chemicals proposed
for stormwater treatment. Only chemicals approved by Ecology under the CTAPE may be used for
stormwater treatment. The approved chemicals, their allowable application techniques (batch treatment or
flow-through treatment), allowable application rates, and conditions of use can be found at the Department
of Ecology Emerging Technologies website:
<http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/newtech/technologies.html>.
Treatment System Design Considerations:
The design and operation of a chemical treatment system should take into consideration the factors that
determine optimum, cost-effective performance. It is important to recognize the following:
• Only Ecology approved chemicals may be used and must follow approved dose rate.
• The pH of the stormwater must be in the proper range for the polymers to be effective, which is
typically 6.5 to 8.5
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-82
• The coagulant must be mixed rapidly into the water to ensure proper dispersion.
• A flocculation step is important to increase the rate of settling, to produce the lowest turbidity, and to
keep the dosage rate as low as possible.
• Too little energy input into the water during the flocculation phase results in flocs that are too small
and/or insufficiently dense. Too much energy can rapidly destroy floc as it is formed.
• Care must be taken in the design of the withdrawal system to minimize outflow velocities and to
prevent floc discharge. Discharge from a batch treatment system should be directed through a physical
filter such as a vegetated swale that would catch any unintended floc discharge. Currently, flow-
through systems always discharge through the chemically enhanced sand filtration system.
• System discharge rates must take into account downstream conveyance integrity.
Polymer Batch Treatment Process Description:
A batch chemical treatment system consists of the stormwater collection system (either temporary
diversion or the permanent site drainage system), a storage pond, pumps, a chemical feed system,
treatment cells, and interconnecting piping.
The batch treatment system shall use a minimum of two lined treatment cells in addition to an untreated
stormwater storage pond. Multiple treatment cells allow for clarification of treated water while other cells
are being filled or emptied. Treatment cells may be ponds or tanks. Ponds with constructed earthen
embankments greater than six feet high or which impound more than 10 acre-feet require special
engineering analyses. The Ecology Dam Safety Section has specific design criteria for dams in
Washington State (see <http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wr/dams/GuidanceDocs.html>).
Stormwater is collected at interception point(s) on the site and is diverted by gravity or by pumping to an
untreated stormwater storage pond or other untreated stormwater holding area. The stormwater is stored
until treatment occurs. It is important that the holding pond be large enough to provide adequate storage.
The first step in the treatment sequence is to check the pH of the stormwater in the untreated stormwater
storage pond. The pH is adjusted by the application of carbon dioxide or a base until the stormwater in the
storage pond is within the desired pH range, 6.5 to 8.5. When used, carbon dioxide is added immediately
downstream of the transfer pump. Typically sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is used as a base, although
other bases may be used. When needed, base is added directly to the untreated stormwater storage pond.
The stormwater is recirculated with the treatment pump to provide mixing in the storage pond. Initial pH
adjustments should be based on daily bench tests. Further pH adjustments can be made at any point in the
process.
Once the stormwater is within the desired pH range (dependent on polymer being used), the stormwater is
pumped from the untreated stormwater storage pond to a treatment cell as polymer is added. The polymer
is added upstream of the pump to facilitate rapid mixing.
After polymer addition, the water is kept in a lined treatment cell for clarification of the sediment-floc. In a
batch mode process, clarification typically takes from 30 minutes to several hours. Prior to discharge
samples are withdrawn for analysis of pH, flocculent chemical concentration, and turbidity. If both are
acceptable, the treated water is discharged.
Several configurations have been developed to withdraw treated water from the treatment cell. The
original configuration is a device that withdraws the treated water from just beneath the water surface
using a float with adjustable struts that prevent the float from settling on the cell bottom. This reduces the
possibility of picking up sediment-floc from the bottom of the pond. The struts are usually set at a
minimum clearance of about 12 inches; that is, the float will come within 12 inches of the bottom of the
cell. Other systems have used vertical guides or cables which constrain the float, allowing it to drift up and
down with the water level. More recent designs have an H-shaped array of pipes, set on the horizontal.
This scheme provides for withdrawal from four points rather than one. This configuration reduces the
likelihood of sucking settled solids from the bottom. It also reduces the tendency for a vortex to form. Inlet
diffusers, a long floating or fixed pipe with many small holes in it, are also an option.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-83
Safety is a primary concern. Design should consider the hazards associated with operations, such as
sampling. Facilities should be designed to reduce slip hazards and drowning. Tanks and ponds should have
life rings, ladders, or steps extending from the bottom to the top.
Polymer Flow-Through Treatment Process Description:
At a minimum, a flow-through chemical treatment system consists of the stormwater collection system
(either temporary diversion or the permanent site drainage system), an untreated stormwater storage pond,
and the chemically enhanced sand filtration system.
Stormwater is collected at interception point(s) on the site and is diverted by gravity or by pumping to an
untreated stormwater storage pond or other untreated stormwater holding area. The stormwater is stored
until treatment occurs. It is important that the holding pond be large enough to provide adequate storage.
Stormwater is then pumped from the untreated stormwater storage pond to the chemically enhanced sand
filtration system where polymer is added. Adjustments to pH may be necessary before chemical addition.
The sand filtration system continually monitors the stormwater for turbidity and pH. If the discharge water
is ever out of an acceptable range for turbidity or pH, the water is recycled to the untreated stormwater
pond where it can be retreated.
For batch treatment and flow-through treatment, the following equipment should be located in a lockable
shed:
• The chemical injector.
• Secondary containment for acid, caustic, buffering compound, and treatment chemical.
• Emergency shower and eyewash.
• Monitoring equipment which consists of a pH meter and a turbidimeter.
System Sizing:
Certain sites are required to implement flow control for the developed sites. These sites must also control
stormwater release rates during construction. Generally, these are sites that discharge stormwater directly,
or indirectly, through a conveyance system, into a fresh water. System sizing is dependent on flow control
requirements.
Sizing Criteria for Batch Treatment Systems for Flow Control Exempt Water Bodies:
The total volume of the untreated stormwater storage pond and treatment ponds or tanks must be large
enough to treat stormwater that is produced during multiple day storm events. It is recommended that at a
minimum the untreated stormwater storage pond be sized to hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the
10-year, 24-hour storm event. Bypass should be provided around the chemical treatment system to
accommodate extreme storm events. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods presented in
Chapter 3 of the SWDM. Worst-case land cover conditions (i.e., producing the most runoff) should be used
for analyses (in most cases, this would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping).
Primary settling should be encouraged in the untreated stormwater storage pond. A forebay with access for
maintenance may be beneficial.
There are two opposing considerations in sizing the treatment cells. A larger cell is able to treat a larger
volume of water each time a batch is processed. However, the larger the cell the longer the time required
to empty the cell. A larger cell may also be less effective at flocculation and therefore require a longer
settling time. The simplest approach to sizing the treatment cell is to multiply the allowable discharge flow
rate times the desired drawdown time. A 4-hour drawdown time allows one batch per cell per 8-hour work
period, given 1 hour of flocculation followed by two hours of settling.
If the discharge is directly to a direct discharge exempt receiving water in Section 1.2.3 (Core
Requirement #3) of the SWDM, or to an infiltration system, there is no discharge flow limit.
Ponds sized for flow control water bodies must at a minimum meet the sizing criteria for direct discharge
exempt receiving waters.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-84
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow control exempt water bodies, the
treatment system capacity should be a factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be
sized to hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event minus the treatment system
flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system
flowrate should be sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6 to 8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic loading
rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should be provided around the chemical
treatment system to accommodate extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Chapter 3 of the SWDM. Worst-case land cover conditions (i.e., producing the most runoff)
should be used for analyses (in most cases, this would be the land cover conditions just prior to final
landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition must also control stormwater
release rates during construction. Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed discharge rates from ½ of the
2-year flow through the 10-year flow as predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre-
developed condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately prior to the development
project. This restriction on release rates can affect the size of the storage pond and treatment cells.
The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates from the chemical treatment
systems:
1. Determine the pre-developed flow durations to be matched by entering the existing land use area
under the “Pre-developed” scenario in WWHM. The default flow range is from ½ of the 2-year flow
through the 10-year flow.
2. Enter the post developed land use area in the “Developed Unmitigated” scenario in WWHM.
3. Copy the land use information from the “Developed Unmitigated” to “Developed Mitigated” scenario.
4. While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a pond element under the basin element containing
the post-developed land use areas. This pond element represents information on the available
untreated stormwater storage and discharge from the chemical treatment system. In cases where the
discharge from the chemical treatment system is controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge
(SSD) table representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and imported into WWHM.
WWHM can route the runoff from the post-developed condition through this SSD table (the pond) and
determine compliance with the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative design procedure
where if the initial SSD table proved to be inadequate, the designer would have to modify the SSD
table outside WWHM and re-import in WWHM and route the runoff through it again. The iteration
will continue until a pond that complies with the flow duration standard is correctly sized.
Notes on SSD table characteristics:
• The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just below ½ of the 2-year flow from the
pre-developed condition. As runoff coming into the untreated stormwater storage pond increases
and the available untreated stormwater storage volume gets used up, it would be necessary to
increase the pump discharge rate above ½ of the 2-year. The increase(s) above ½ of the 2-year
must be such that they provide some relief to the untreated stormwater storage needs but at the
same time will not cause violations of the flow duration standard at the higher flows. The final
design SSD table will identify the appropriate pumping rates and the corresponding stage and
storages.
• When building such a flow control system, the design must ensure that any automatic adjustments
to the pumping rates will be as a result of changes to the available storage in accordance with the
final design SSD table.

5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet the flow control requirements. The
chemical treatment system must be able to meet the runoff treatment requirements. It is likely that the
discharge flow rate of ½ of the 2-year or more may exceed the treatment capacity of the system. If that
is the case, the untreated stormwater discharge rate(s) (i.e., influent to the treatment system) must be
reduced to allow proper treatment. Any reduction in the flows would likely result in the need for a
larger untreated stormwater storage volume.
If the discharge is to a municipal storm drainage system, the allowable discharge rate may be limited by
the capacity of the public system. It may be necessary to clean the municipal storm drainage system prior
to the start of the discharge to prevent scouring solids from the drainage system. If the municipal storm
drainage system discharges to a water body not on the flow control exempt list, the project site is subject
to flow control requirements. Obtain permission from the owner of the collection system before
discharging to it.
If system design does not allow you to discharge at the slower rates as described above and if the site has a
retention or detention pond that will serve the planned development, the discharge from the treatment
system may be directed to the permanent retention/detention pond to comply with the flow control
requirement. In this case, the untreated stormwater storage pond and treatment system will be sized
according to the sizing criteria for flow-through treatment systems for flow control exempt water bodies
described earlier except all discharge (water passing through the treatment system and stormwater
bypassing the treatment system) will be directed into the permanent retention/detention pond. If site
constraints make locating the untreated stormwater storage pond difficult, the permanent
retention/detention pond may be divided to serve as the untreated stormwater storage pond and the post-
treatment flow control pond. A berm or barrier must be used in this case so the untreated water does not
mix with the treated water. Both untreated stormwater storage requirements, and adequate post-treatment
flow control must be achieved. The post-treatment flow control pond’s revised dimensions must be entered
into the WWHM and the WWHM must be run to confirm compliance with the flow control requirement.
Maintenance Standards
Monitoring:
At a minimum, the following monitoring shall be conducted. Test results shall be recorded on a daily log
kept on site. Additional testing may be required by the NPDES permit based on site conditions.
Operational Monitoring:
• Total volume treated and discharged.

• Type and amount of chemical used for pH adjustment.
• Amount of polymer used for treatment.
• Settling time.
Compliance Monitoring:
Influent and effluent pH, flocculent chemical concentration, and turbidity must be continuously monitored
and recorded at not greater than 15-minute intervals. pH and turbidity of the receiving water.
Biomonitoring:
Treated stormwater must be non-toxic to aquatic organisms. Treated stormwater must be tested for aquatic
toxicity or residual chemicals. Frequency of biomonitoring will be determined by Ecology.
Residual chemical tests must be approved by Ecology prior to their use.
If testing treated stormwater for aquatic toxicity, you must test for acute (lethal) toxicity. Bioassays shall
be conducted by a laboratory accredited by Ecology, unless otherwise approved by Ecology. Acute
toxicity tests shall be conducted per the CTAPE protocol.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-86
Discharge Compliance:
Prior to discharge, treated stormwater must be sampled and tested for compliance with pH, flocculent
chemical concentration, and turbidity limits. These limits may be established by the Construction
Stormwater General Permit or a site-specific discharge permit. Sampling and testing for other pollutants
may also be necessary at some sites. pH must be within the range of 6.5 to 8.5 standard units and not cause
a change in the pH of the receiving water of more than 0.2 standard units. Treated stormwater samples and
measurements shall be taken from the discharge pipe or another location representative of the nature of the
treated stormwater discharge. Samples used for determining compliance with the water quality standards
in the receiving water shall not be taken from the treatment pond prior to decanting. Compliance with the
water quality standards is determined in the receiving water.
Operator Training:
Each contractor who intends to use chemical treatment shall be trained by an experienced contractor. Each
site using chemical treatment must have an operator trained and certified by an organization approved by
Ecology.
Standard BMPs:
Surface stabilization BMPs should be implemented on site to prevent significant erosion. All sites shall
use a truck wheel wash to prevent tracking of sediment off site.
Sediment Removal and Disposal:
• Sediment shall be removed from the storage or treatment cells as necessary. Typically, sediment
removal is required at least once during a wet season and at the decommissioning of the cells.
Sediment remaining in the cells between batches may enhance the settling process and reduce the
required chemical dosage.
• Sediment that is known to be non-toxic may be incorporated into the site away from drainages.
D.2.2.6 CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER FILTRATION
Purpose
Filtration removes sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site.
Background Information:
Filtration with sand media has been used for over a century to treat water and wastewater. The use of sand
filtration for treatment of stormwater has developed recently, generally to treat runoff from streets, parking
lots, and residential areas. The application of filtration to construction stormwater treatment is currently
under development.
Conditions of Use
Traditional BMPs used to control soil erosion and sediment loss from sites under development may not be
adequate to ensure compliance with the water quality standard for turbidity in the receiving water.
Filtration may be used in conjunction with gravity settling to remove sediment as small as fine silt
(0.5 μm). The reduction in turbidity will be dependent on the particle size distribution of the sediment in
the stormwater. In some circumstances, sedimentation and filtration may achieve compliance with the
water quality standard for turbidity.
The use of construction stormwater filtration does not require approval from Ecology as long as treatment
chemicals are not used. Filtration in conjunction with polymer treatment requires testing under the
Chemical Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology (CTAPE) before it can be initiated. Approval from
the appropriate regional Ecology office must be obtained at each site where polymers use is proposed prior
to use. For more guidance on stormwater chemical treatment see BMP D.2.2.5.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-87
Design and Installation Specifications
Two types of filtration systems may be applied to construction stormwater treatment: rapid and slow.
Rapid sand filters are the typical system used for water and wastewater treatment. They can achieve
relatively high hydraulic flow rates, on the order of 2 to 20 gpm/sf, because they have automatic backwash
systems to remove accumulated solids. In contrast, slow sand filters have very low hydraulic rates, on the
order of 0.02 gpm/sf, because they do not have backwash systems. Slow sand filtration has generally been
used to treat stormwater. Slow sand filtration is mechanically simple in comparison to rapid sand filtration
but requires a much larger filter area.
Filtration Equipment
Sand media filters are available with automatic backwashing features that can filter to 50 μm particle size.
Screen or bag filters can filter down to 5 μm. Fiber wound filters can remove particles down to 0.5 μm.
Filters should be sequenced from the largest to the smallest pore opening. Sediment removal efficiency
will be related to particle size distribution in the stormwater.
Treatment Process Description
Stormwater is collected at interception point(s) on the site and is diverted to an untreated stormwater
sediment pond or tank for removal of large sediment and storage of the stormwater before it is treated by
the filtration system. The untreated stormwater is pumped from the trap, pond, or tank through the
filtration system in a rapid sand filtration system. Slow sand filtration systems are designed as flow
through systems using gravity.
Maintenance Standards
Rapid sand filters typically have automatic backwash systems that are triggered by a pre-set pressure drop
across the filter. If the backwash water volume is not large or substantially more turbid than the untreated
stormwater stored in the holding pond or tank, backwash return to the untreated stormwater pond or tank
may be appropriate. However, other means of treatment and disposal may be necessary.
• Screen, bag, and fiber filters must be cleaned and/or replaced when they become clogged.
• Sediment shall be removed from the storage and/or treatment ponds as necessary. Typically, sediment
removal is required once or twice during a wet season and at the decommissioning of the ponds.
Sizing Criteria for Flow-Through Treatment Systems for Flow Control Exempt Water Bodies:
When sizing storage ponds or tanks for flow-through systems for flow control exempt water bodies the
treatment system capacity should be a factor. The untreated stormwater storage pond or tank should be
sized to hold 1.5 times the runoff volume of the 10-year, 24-hour storm event minus the treatment system
flowrate for an 8-hour period. For a chitosan-enhanced sand filtration system, the treatment system
flowrate should be sized using a hydraulic loading rate between 6 to 8 gpm/ft². Other hydraulic loading
rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should be provided around the chemical
treatment system to accommodate extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods
presented in Chapter 3 of the SWDM (if no chemicals are proposed for use). Worst-case conditions (i.e.,
producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses (most likely conditions present prior to final
landscaping).
Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies:
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition must also control stormwater
release rates during construction. Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge
durations of the pre-developed condition for the range of pre-developed discharge rates from 1/2 of the
2-year flow through the 10-year flow as predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre-
developed condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately prior to the development
project. This restriction on release rates can affect the size of the storage pond, the filtration system, and
the flow rate through the filter system.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-88
The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates from the filtration systems:
1. Determine the pre-developed flow durations to be matched by entering the land use area under the
“Pre-developed” scenario in WWHM. The default flow range is from ½ of the 2-year flow through the
10-year flow.
2. Enter the post developed land use area in the “Developed Unmitigated” scenario in WWHM.
3. Copy the land use information from the “Developed Unmitigated” to “Developed Mitigated” scenario.
4. There are two possible ways to model stormwater filtration systems:
a) The stormwater filtration system uses an untreated stormwater storage pond/tank and the
discharge from this pond/tank is pumped to one or more filters. In-line filtration chemicals would
be added to the flow right after the pond/tank and before the filter(s). Because the discharge is
pumped, WWHM can’t generate a stage/storage /discharge (SSD) table for this system. This
system is modeled the same way as described Ecology’s BMP C250 (or BMP D.2.2.5 when
seeking City approval for non-chemical treatment) and is as follows:
While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a pond element under the basin element
containing the post-developed land use areas. This pond element represents information on the
available untreated stormwater storage and discharge from the filtration system. In cases where
the discharge from the filtration system is controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge (SSD)
table representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and imported into WWHM.
WWHM can route the runoff from the post-developed condition through this SSD table (the
pond) and determine compliance with the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative
design procedure where if the initial SSD table proved to be out of compliance, the designer
would have to modify the SSD table outside WWHM and re-import in WWHM and route the
runoff through it again. The iteration will continue until a pond that enables compliance with the
flow duration standard is designed.
Notes on SSD table characteristics:
• The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just below ½ if the 2-year flow from
the pre-developed condition. As runoff coming into the untreated stormwater storage pond
increases and the available untreated stormwater storage volume gets used up, it would be
necessary to increase the pump discharge rate above ½ of the 2-year. The increase(s) above ½
of the 2-year must be such that they provide some relief to the untreated stormwater storage
needs but at the same time they will not cause violations of the flow duration standard at the
higher flows. The final design SSD table will identify the appropriate pumping rates and the
corresponding stage and storages.
• When building such a flow control system, the design must ensure that any automatic
adjustments to the pumping rates will be as a result of changes to the available storage in
accordance with the final design SSD table.
b) The stormwater filtration system uses a storage pond/tank and the discharge from this pond/tank
gravity flows to the filter. This is usually a slow sand filter system and it is possible to model it in
WWHM as a Filter element or as a combination of Pond and Filter element placed in series. The
stage/storage/discharge table(s) may then be generated within WWHM as follows:
i. While in the “Developed Mitigated” scenario, add a Filter element under the basin element
containing the post-developed land use areas. The length and width of this filter element
would have to be the same as the bottom length and width of the upstream untreated
stormwater storage pond/tank.
ii. In cases where the length and width of the filter is not the same as those for the bottom of the
upstream untreated stormwater storage tank/pond, the treatment system may be modeled as a
Pond element followed by a Filter element. By having these two elements, WWHM would
then generate a SSD table for the storage pond which then gravity flows to the Filter element.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-89
The Filter element downstream of the untreated stormwater storage pond would have a
storage component through the media, and an overflow component for when the filtration
capacity is exceeded.
WWHM can route the runoff from the post-developed condition through the treatment systems in
4b and determine compliance with the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative design
procedure where if the initial sizing estimates for the treatment system proved to be inadequate,
the designer would have to modify the system and route the runoff through it again. The iteration
would continue until compliance with the flow duration standard is achieved.
5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet the flow control requirements. The
filtration system must be able to meet the runoff treatment requirements. It is likely that the discharge
flow rate of ½ of the 2-year or more may exceed the treatment capacity of the system. If that is the
case, the untreated stormwater discharge rate(s) (i.e., influent to the treatment system) must be
reduced to allow proper treatment. Any reduction in the flows would likely result in the need for a
larger untreated stormwater storage volume.
If system design does not allow you to discharge at the slower rates as described above and if the site has a
retention or detention pond that will serve the planned development, the discharge from the treatment
system may be directed to the permanent retention/detention pond to comply with the flow control
requirements. In this case, the untreated stormwater storage pond and treatment system will be sized
according to the sizing criteria for flow-through treatment systems for flow control exempt waterbodies
described earlier except all discharges (water passing through the treatment system and stormwater
bypassing the treatment system) will be directed into the permanent retention/detention pond. If site
constraints make locating the untreated stormwater storage pond difficult, the permanent
retention/detention pond may be divided to serve as the untreated stormwater discharge pond and the post-
treatment flow control pond. A berm or barrier must be used in this case so the untreated water does not
mix with the treated water. Both untreated stormwater storage requirements, and adequate post-treatment
flow control must be achieved. The post-treatment flow control pond’s revised dimensions must be entered
into the WWHM and the WWHM must be run to confirm compliance with the flow control requirement.
D.2.2.7 HIGH PH NEUTRALIZATION USING CO2
Purpose
When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to lower the pH levels to the acceptable range
of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH neutralization. pH neutralization involves the use of solid or
compressed carbon dioxide gas in water requiring neutralization. Neutralized stormwater may be
discharged to surface waters under the Construction Stormwater General permit.
Neutralized process water such as concrete truck wash-out, hydro-demolition, or saw-cutting slurry must
be managed to prevent discharge to surface waters. Any stormwater contaminated during concrete work is
considered process wastewater and must not be discharged to surface waters.
Reason for pH Neutralization:
A pH level range of 6.5 to 8.5 is typical for most natural watercourses, and this neutral pH is required for
the survival of aquatic organisms. Should the pH rise or drop out of this range, fish and other aquatic
organisms may become stressed and may die.
Calcium hardness can contribute to high pH values and cause toxicity that is associated with high pH
conditions. A high level of calcium hardness in waters of the state is not allowed.
The water quality standard for pH in Washington State is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5. Ground water standard
for calcium and other dissolved solids in Washington State is less than 500 mg/l.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-90
Conditions of Use
Causes of High pH:
High pH at construction sites is most commonly caused by the contact of stormwater with poured or
recycled concrete, cement, mortars, and other Portland cement or lime containing construction materials.
(See BMP D.2.2.1, Concrete Handling for more information on concrete handling procedures). The
principal caustic agent in cement is calcium hydroxide (free lime).
Advantages of CO2 Sparging:
• Rapidly neutralizes high pH water.
• Cost effective and safer to handle than acid compounds.
• CO2 is self-buffering. It is difficult to overdose and create harmfully low pH levels.
• Material is readily available.
The Chemical Process:
When carbon dioxide (CO2) is added to water (H2O), carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed which can further
dissociate into a proton (H+) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO3-) as shown below:
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3-
The free proton is a weak acid that can lower the pH. Water temperature has an effect on the reaction as
well. The colder the water temperature is the slower the reaction occurs and the warmer the water
temperature is the quicker the reaction occurs. Most construction applications in Washington State have
water temperatures in the 50°F or higher range so the reaction is almost simultaneous.
Design and Installation Specifications
Treatment Process:
High pH water may be treated using continuous treatment, continuous discharge systems. These
manufactured systems continuously monitor influent and effluent pH to ensure that pH values are within
an acceptable range before being discharged. All systems must have fail safe automatic shut off switches
in the event that pH is not within the acceptable discharge range. Only trained operators may operate
manufactured systems. System manufacturers often provide trained operators or training on their devices.
The following procedure may be used when not using a continuous discharge system:
1. Prior to treatment, the appropriate jurisdiction should be notified in accordance with the regulations
set by the jurisdiction.
2. Every effort should be made to isolate the potential high pH water in order to treat it separately from
other stormwater onsite.
3. Water should be stored in an acceptable storage facility, detention pond, or containment cell prior to
treatment.
4. Transfer water to be treated to the treatment structure. Ensure that treatment structure size is sufficient
to hold the amount of water that is to be treated. Do not fill tank completely, allow at least 2 feet of
freeboard.
5. The operator samples the water for pH and notes the clarity of the water. As a rule of thumb, less CO2
is necessary for clearer water. This information should be recorded.
6. In the pH adjustment structure, add CO2 until the pH falls in the range of 6.9 to 7.1. Remember that
pH water quality standards apply so adjusting pH to within 0.2 pH units of receiving water
(background pH) is recommended. It is unlikely that pH can be adjusted to within 0.2 pH units using
dry ice. Compressed carbon dioxide gas should be introduced to the water using a carbon dioxide
diffuser located near the bottom of the tank, this will allow carbon dioxide to bubble up through the
water and diffuse more evenly.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-91
7. Slowly discharge the water making sure water does not get stirred up in the process. Release about
80% of the water from the structure leaving any sludge behind.
8. Discharge treated water through a pond or drainage system.
9. Excess sludge needs to be disposed of properly as concrete waste. If several batches of water are
undergoing pH treatment, sludge can be left in treatment structure for the next batch treatment.
Dispose of sludge when it fills 50% of tank volume.
Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site must also control stormwater release rates
during construction. All treated stormwater must go through a flow control facility before being released
to surface waters which require flow control.
Maintenance Standards
Safety and Materials Handling:
• All equipment should be handled in accordance with OSHA rules and regulations.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for materials handling.
Operator Records:
Each operator should provide:
• A diagram of the monitoring and treatment equipment.
• A description of the pumping rates and capacity the treatment equipment is capable of treating.
Each operator should keep a written record of the following:
• Client name and phone number.
• Date of treatment.
• Weather conditions.
• Project name and location.
• Volume of water treated.
• pH of untreated water.
• Amount of CO2 needed to adjust water to a pH range of 6.9 to 7.1.
• pH of treated water.
• Discharge point location and description.
A copy of this record should be given to the client/contractor who should retain the record for 3 years.
D.2.2.8 PH CONTROL FOR HIGH PH WATER
Purpose
When pH levels in stormwater rise above 8.5 it is necessary to lower the pH levels to the acceptable range
of 6.5 to 8.5, this process is called pH neutralization. Stormwater with pH levels exceeding water quality
standards may be treated by infiltration, dispersion in vegetation or compost, pumping to a sanitary sewer,
disposal at a permitted concrete batch plant with pH neutralization capabilities, or carbon dioxide
sparging. BMP D.2.2.7, High pH Neutralization Using CO2 gives guidelines for carbon dioxide sparging.
Reason for pH Neutralization:
A pH level range of 6.5 to 8.5 is typical for most natural watercourses, and this pH range is required for
the survival of aquatic organisms. Should the pH rise or drop out of this range, fish and other aquatic
organisms may become stressed and may die.

Design and Installation Specifications
Disposal Methods:
Infiltration
• Infiltration is only allowed if soil type allows all water to infiltrate (no surface runoff) without causing
or contributing to a violation of surface or ground water quality standards.
• Infiltration techniques should be consistent with Chapter 5 of the SWDM
Dispersion
• Dispersion techniques should be consistent with Appendix C of the SWDM
Sanitary Sewer Disposal
• Approval from King County and the City of Renton is required prior to disposal via the sanitary
sewer.
Concrete Batch Plant Disposal
• Only permitted facilities may accept high pH water.
• Facility should be contacted before treatment to ensure they can accept the high pH water.
Stormwater Discharge
Any pH treatment options that generate treated water that must be discharged off site are subject to flow
control requirements. Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site must also control
stormwater release rates during construction. All treated stormwater must go through a flow control
facility before being released to surface waters which require flow control.
D.2.2.9 USE OF HIGH PH SOIL AMENDMENTS ON CONSTRUCTION SITES
The use of soil amendments (including cement treated base [CTB] and cement kiln dust [CKD]) on
development sites must be approved by the City. The approval process is described in “Processing
Requirements for Use of Soil Amendments on Construction Sites” below.
Use of Soil Amendments
It is sometimes a construction practice to add soil amendments to the surfaces of some construction areas
in order to stabilize the ground for building. This practice includes placing an additive on the ground then
mixing with the soil to a specified depth and finally compacting the mix. When mixed with the soil, the
moisture in the ground may allow these additives to create a chemical reaction that cures similar to
concrete and may absorb excessive moisture to allow soils to be compacted. The end result is a stable site
for constructing a road or building pad.
Because soil amendments may be rich in lime content and other material, water runoff from these areas
can be affected. If not controlled and treated, this could result in a degradation of water quality and natural
drainage systems. Because these additives come in a fine powder form, the actual application can create
fugitive dust. When mixed with water, some additives can become corrosive.

7. Natural
Treatment and
Discharge
A. The preferred method of disposal of the treatment water will be
discharge to the sanitary sewer, provided a permit is obtained to
do so.
B. If infiltration is proposed, the area of infiltration is to be identified,
capacity confirmed, and a contingency discharge plan in place in
the event facilities fail to infiltrate.
C. For infiltration, pH limits shall be strictly adhered to.
D. If a permit to discharge to the sanitary sewer is not obtained, a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
discharge permit is required from Ecology. The retention volume
of the lined pond(s) will also be increased to ensure complete
control of the retained volume. Monitoring, bench testing, and
controlled discharge rates, with prior approval by Ecology, would
be needed prior to discharge to an approved off-site surface
drainage system. Sites that currently have NPDES permits will
need to amend permit prior to discharge to cover this action. City
approval is still required.
E. Per RMC 4-6-030, discharges into receiving drainage systems
shall not have acid or basic pH levels.
F. Sealed storage tanks shall be used to reduce turbidity and pH
before discharge.
8. Chemical
Treatment
A. Carbon dioxide sparging (dry ice pellets) may be used as the
chemical treatment agent to reduce the water pH.
B. Any means of water treatment to reduce pH will require an
NPDES discharge permit from Ecology. Permit would only be
granted after bench testing performed by an independent
qualified party.
C. Active mixing will cease if the residual retention water volume
falls below the ability to treat and properly dispose of contact
storm water.
D. Discharge would only occur after the approval of Ecology,
following bench testing and consultation with Ecology.
E. All materials for chemical treatment will be on site and property
stored, during all phases of CTB/CKD treatment.
9. Water Quality Monitoring A. Turbidity and pH will be monitored on a twice-daily basis, prior to
operations and immediately upon ceasing operations, and these
measurements will be recorded. Monitoring will also occur
immediately after any storm event of ½ inch in 24 hours, or water
migration to the retention pond(s), and the measurements
recorded. If the pH approaches 8.0, monitoring frequency will
increase.
B. Turbidity and pH monitoring will occur in all treatment facilities,
stormwater detention facilities, infiltration areas (if infiltration is
used), and in all surface water areas adjacent to site where
stormwater potentially discharges. Additional upstream surface
water sites will be established to determine background levels of
turbidity and pH.
C. All water quality monitoring data will be conducted and evaluated
by an independent, qualified party and conducted using
professionally supportable test protocols and QA/QC procedures.

10. Reporting Ecology and
CED
A. All water quality monitoring data will be included in weekly CED
TESC reports to CED, and in weekly NPDES reports to Ecology.
B. All work, testing, and monitoring associated with the application
of CTB/CKD shall be observed by engineer. The engineer shall
prepare and submit a report to the assigned CED project
inspector indicating BMPs were/were not being met.
C. Copies of all reports and logs will be available on site during the
soil and surface runoff treatment activities.
Other elements to consider:
11. Water
Quality – Soils
Source Controls A. There may be very small amounts of concrete washout produced
onsite as a result of construction of erosion control measures
during reclamation. Concrete washout, if any, would be retained
in a lined enclosure of at least 6-ml Visqueen or plastic sheeting,
with no outlet. The washout retention enclosure would be isolated
and separate from any CTB/CKD area runoff. Contents of the
lined concrete washout enclosure will be removed from the site
via a Vactor truck for disposal in an approved off-site treatment or
disposal facility in accordance with all federal, state, and local
laws and regulations. Signed trip tickets, as proof of proper
disposal, will be provided to Ecology and CED.
12. Water
Quality – pH
Cover Measures A. Areas amended with CTB/CKD for compaction after CTB/CKD
addition will be covered with plastic or Visqueen sheeting, or
other impervious material by the end of each working day.
B. Temporary cover will be maintained over all compacted areas
amended with CTB/CKD until testing confirms that pH levels are
stabilized to background measurements. [Note: Curing to avoid
pH effects has no relationship to the rate at which material can
be compacted in multiple lifts. Compaction will commence
immediately after application and mixing, and multiple lifts will
occur as quickly as each lift is compacted and ready to accept
the next.]
C. Should weather conditions prevent mixing, any unmixed
CTB/CKD remaining on site will be enclosed in a sealed
containment, such as portable silo, or removed from site.
Processing Requirements for Use of High pH Soil Amendments on Construction
Sites 10
Purpose
This section establishes procedures for implementing BMPs when using high pH soil amendments on
construction sites. See Table D.2.2.9.A for a description of the BMPs. This section outlines an expedited
review process and typical approval conditions that will allow contractors and builders to use soil
amendments without impacting water quality. Additional BMPs may be required based upon site specific
conditions that may warrant more protection. This policy is limited to those amendments, defined below,
commonly known to add stability to sloppy soil conditions but which can alter water runoff quality.
Authority: RMC 4-6-030(J) prohibits discharges of polluted or contaminated water into surface or storm
water drainage systems. The purpose of this statute is to protect surface and ground water by regulating the
discharge of potentially contaminated surface water. If soil amendments are proposed with an initial
application, an environmental review is required, under SEPA, which assesses impacts, provides public
input and mitigated conditions for its use.

SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-98
The City of Renton also requires an engineered design for use of a soil amendment on road surfaces or
around drainage systems (see Appendix C). The design may incorporate a thorough assessment of soil
composition and laboratory analysis. The SWDM authorizes CED to adopt BMPs for the control and
protection of surface water. Currently, for all sites, the BMPs established in this policy are the minimum
standards that shall be applied.
Procedure
An applicant may apply for use of soil amendments allowed under this policy anytime during the permit
application review or after the permit has been issued and site construction is underway. After making a
submittal to CED, the applicant may receive approval conditions. Conditions may vary from site to site,
but typically will include many of the BMPs included in this policy.
Applicants should identify any use of soil amendments as early in the process as possible to avoid delays
in obtaining approval for use during the construction phase. If a site has known soil and water conditions
that might make work during rainy periods difficult, they may want to plan to use soil amendments on
their site. Obviously, if this issue is addressed at the permit review phase, implementation in the field can
occur without delay. However, because of the potential risks of surface water pollution discharge and
required treatment, an environmental assessment will be necessary before conditions for use can be
established.
Limitations
This policy applies to the intended use of soil amendments in areas that will be covered by impervious
surfaces. For areas not covered by impervious surfaces, additional reviews, study, and BMPs may be
required. In addition, alterations to original approved use plans will require a resubmittal for approval.
Approval for the use of the soil amendments can only occur by strictly following the procedures contained
herein and not by any other approval obtained from CED.
Submittal Requirements
To obtain approval for the use of soil amendments allowed under this policy, the applicant shall prepare a
submittal package to CED that includes the following:
• Letter to CED requesting use of soil amendments at a construction site allowed under this policy.
• Document or letter attachment that identifies source of materials and description of mixing and
laydown process, plan for disposal of treated contact water, sanitary sewer permits and/or BMPs, and
special precautions proposed to prevent the contamination of surface or stormwater drainage systems,
other than ‘sealed’ drainage systems.
• Site Plan: Show a site plan map which:
1) Shows overall grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
2) Identifies sensitive areas and permanent or temporary drainage facilities.
3) Identifies areas that soil amendment is planned.
4) Shows depths of application and percent of amendment to be used.
5) Shows location of special wheel wash facility.
6) Shows location of collection and conveyance swales or pipes for contact water.
7) Shows location of sealed storage/treatment tanks or temporary ponds (fully lined).
8) Identifies any discharge point from the site into natural drainage systems.
9) Includes soil log locations that identify seasonal high groundwater areas.
• Report and analysis of engineering mix design which includes depths of application and percent of
amendment usage.
• For proposals that use CKD and CKD additive, provide analysis of source material for soluble
contaminants. Include a description of fuel source.
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-99
• Monitoring criteria, including locations for pH and turbidity testing.
• Provide contingency plan should use of soil amendment and site and weather conditions result in
polluted or contact water entering natural drainage systems.
• Provide contact information or water quality specialist assigned to monitor application of soil
amendments and BMPs.
If the project is under construction, the applicant shall contact the CED inspector assigned to the project to
initiate a review for compliance with the BMPs and requirements herein. Otherwise contact the planner or
engineer assigned to review the permit or land use application.
Review and Approval
Once the review has been completed, the applicant shall be notified by letter which stipulates the
conditions of approval. Prior to authorizing the use of soil amendments at the site, the applicant shall
provide a special restoration financial guarantee cash deposit in the amount as determined by the existing,
established processes. Note: It remains the applicant/contractor’s responsibility to comply with any other
applicable state or federal regulations such as use of NIOSH respiratory protection, safety goggles, gloves
and protective clothing whenever using hazardous materials.
Applicable Standards
Typically, all proposals using soil amendments shall have these conditions as standard requirements:
1. Prior to any application of CKD/CTB, the general contract shall hold a preconstruction meeting with
the assigned CED inspector at least 3 working days in advance.
2. CKD will not be permitted for use in areas adjacent to or in proximity to wetlands and streams areas.
CTB may or may not be permitted in these areas.
3. Areas not covered by impervious surfaces:
• CKD will not be permitted in areas that will not be covered by impervious surfaces.
• If CTB is proposed in these areas, an analysis of whether or not the soil amendment will change
the post-development runoff characteristics and the permanent stormwater facilities were sized
appropriately shall be submitted for review. Use of CTB in areas not permanently covered by
impervious surface may require re-sizing of the permanent stormwater facilities.
4. If CKD is proposed, the contractor shall provide mill certificates verifying the product composition.
The contractor/developer must be prepared to follow BMPs during and after soil treatment and be
prepared to treat runoff from the treatment area(s) immediately. All stormwater collection systems
must be in place and all equipment (pH meters, dry ice, etc.) must be onsite.
5. Collection of stormwater (see BMP #5 in Table D.2.2.9.A):
• Stormwater from the application area shall be kept separate from and prevented from comingling
with uncontaminated stormwater.
• During the application of CKD/CTB, stormwater runoff shall be collected in temporary collection
systems and shall not be allowed to enter the permanent facilities. Permanent drainage systems
shall be capped to prevent contact stormwater from entering the inlets of the catch basins.
Stormwater from the application area shall not be collected in the temporary/permanent detention
ponds, even if the underlying soils are ‘impermeable.’
6. Treatment: If necessary, pH adjustment shall be done in the collection tanks or temporary ponds and
not in the permanent detention ponds.
7. Disposal options: The proposal to use CKD/CTB must contain a disposal plan that may include one or
a combination of sanitary sewer or approved offsite disposal. Treated contact water may be discharged
to the sanitary sewer if authorizations are obtained from the King County and the City of Renton. All
discharge conditions (e.g., pH, settleable solids) must be followed. If a sanitary sewer is not available
at the site, contact water may be transported offsite to an approved site for disposal and proof of
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-100
proper disposal must be submitted to the City. All authorizations for disposal shall be obtained prior to
CKD/CTB application.
• Infiltration: Depending on the site conditions, pH-adjusted stormwater may be infiltrated. Prior to
infiltration, pH must be between 6.5 and 8.5.
• Surface Water: Contact water from the application area shall not be discharged to surface waters,
even if treatment has adjusted the pH.
8. Emergency backup plan: An emergency backup plan must be prepared and ready to implement to
handle large quantities of stormwater.
9. Monitoring shall be conducted to determine that contact stormwater is not leaving the site. Offsite
monitoring shall also be conducted to identify impacts to adjacent water bodies. Bonding may be
required to cover mitigation of impacts and restoration.
10. A soils specialist will establish the mixing percentage for onsite soils. Soil amendments will never
occur in excess of the ability of the onsite equipment and resources to meet all BMP requirements.
11. For sites one acre or larger, a Construction Stormwater General permit must be obtained from
Ecology. Construction Stormwater General permits and ‘Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPPs) must be amended and the use of CKD/CTB must be approved by Ecology prior to
application.
The contractor/developer shall comply will all federal, state, and local regulations. A health and safety
plan may be required for the protection of CED inspectors.
Additional BMPs may be applicable depending on mix design, proximity of wetlands or streams (e.g.,
within 300 feet of class/type I and 100 feet or less for other types) and site conditions.
D.2.2.10 MAINTAIN PROTECTIVE BMPS
Pollutant protection measures shall be maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended
function. Reporting and documentation shall be kept current and made available to CED as indicated.
Purpose: The purpose of maintaining protective BMPs is to provide effective pollutant protection when
and where required by the plan and the project, and to provide timely and relevant project information.
When to Maintain: Protection measures shall be monitored per Section D.2.4.4 at a minimum,
continuously during operation, and promptly maintained to fully functioning condition as necessary to
ensure continued performance of their intended function. Documentation shall be kept current per specific
BMP requirements.
Measures to Use:
1. Maintain and repair all pollutant control BMPs as needed to ensure continued performance of their
intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
2. Maintain and repair storage locations for equipment and materials associated with BMP processes.
Conduct materials disposal in compliance with City requirements.
3. As required, provide current reporting and performance documentation at an accessible location for
the site inspector and other CED staff.
4. Remove all temporary pollutant control BMPs prior to final construction approval, or within 30 days
after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
D.2.2.11 MANAGE THE PROJECT
SWPPP requirements shall be implemented and managed as part of the overall CSWPP plan. Concrete
construction and its impacts are primary among pollutant concerns on site development projects. Fueling
operations and materials containment of treatment chemicals and other project materials are also typical
D.2.2 SWPPS MEASURES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-101
pollutant concerns. Operations that produce these and other pollutants are often conducted by
subcontractors and their laborers, yet may require specific protective measures, documentation and
reporting. Protective measures and BMPs need to be made available prior to construction and suitable
oversight provided to ensure inspection, monitoring and documentation requirements are met.
Projects shall assign a qualified CSWPP Supervisor (Section D.2.3.1) to be the primary contact for
SWPPP and ESC issues and reporting, coordination with subcontractors and implementation of the
CSWPP plan as a whole.
Measures to Use:
1. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work
limits.
2. Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to ensure continued
performance of their intended function. Conduct site inspections and monitoring in accordance with
the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements. Coordinate with subcontractors
and laborers to ensure the SWPPP measures are followed.
3. Documentation and reporting – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to ensure continued
performance of their intended function. Document site inspections and monitoring in accordance with
the Construction Stormwater General Permit, specific BMP conditions and City requirements. Log
sheets provided in Reference Section 8 may be used if appropriate. Follow reporting requirements and
provide documentation as requested to CED staff.
4. Maintaining an updated construction SWPPP – Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP in
accordance with the Construction Stormwater General Permit and City requirements. Obtain approval
for specific SWPPP measures (e.g., chemical treatments of stormwater) well in advance of need.
Coordinate SWPPP plan updates with the site inspector (see Section D.2.4.1).
D.2.3 CSWPP PERFORMANCE AND COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS
The changing conditions typical of construction sites call for frequent field adjustments of existing ESC
and SWPPS measures or additional ESC and SWPPS measures in order to meet required performance. In
some cases, strict adherence to specified measures may not be necessary or practicable based on site
conditions or project type. In other cases, immediate action may be needed to avoid severe impacts.
Therefore, careful attention must be paid to ESC and SWPPS performance and compliance in accordance
with the provisions contained in this section.
D.2.3.1 CSWPP SUPERVISOR
For projects in Targeted, Full, or Large Project Drainage Review, or projects in Directed Drainage Review
as determined by CED review staff, the applicant must designate a CSWPP supervisor who shall be
responsible for the performance, maintenance, and review of ESC and SWPPS measures and for
compliance with all permit conditions relating to CSWPP as described in the CSWPP Standards. The
applicant’s selection of a CSWPP supervisor must be approved by the City. (City approval may be
rescinded for non-compliance, requiring the applicant to select another CSWPP supervisor and obtain City
approval prior to continuing work on the project site.)
For projects that disturb one acre or more of land, the CSWPP supervisor must be a Certified
Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (see <www.cpesc.net> for more information) or a
Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead whose certification is recognized by the City.11 The City
may also require a certified ESC professional for sites smaller than one acre of disturbance if CED
determines that onsite ESC measures are inadequately installed, located, or maintained.
11 The City’s recognition of certification means that the individual has taken an approved third party training program and has
passed the approved test for that training program.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-102
For larger, more sensitive sites, the City may require a certified ESC professional with several years of
experience in construction supervision/inspection and a background in geology, soil science, or agronomy.
Typically, if a geotechnical consultant is already working on the project, the consultant may also be a
certified ESC professional designated as the CSWPP supervisor. The design engineer may also be
qualified for this position. This requirement shall only be used for sensitive sites that pose an unusually
high risk of impact to surface waters as determined by CED. At a minimum, the project site must meet all
of the following conditions in order to require the applicant to designate as the CSWPP supervisor a
certified ESC professional with such expertise:
• Alderwood soils or other soils of Hydrologic Group C or D
• Five acres of disturbance
• Large areas (i.e., two or more acres) with slopes in excess of 10 percent.
Proximity to streams or wetlands or phosphorus-sensitive lakes, such as Lake Sammamish, shall also be a
factor in determining if such expertise in the CSWPP supervisor is warranted. However, proximity alone
shall not be a determining factor because even projects that are a considerable distance from surface
waters can result in significant impacts if there is a natural or constructed drainage system with direct
connections to surface waters.
The name, address, and phone number of the CSWPP supervisor shall be supplied to the City prior to the
start of construction. A sign shall be posted at all primary entrances to the site identifying the CSWPP
supervisor and his/her phone number. The requirement for a CSWPP supervisor does not relieve the
applicant of ultimate responsibility for the project and compliance with Renton Municipal Code.
D.2.3.2 MONITORING OF DISCHARGES
The CSWPP supervisor shall have a turbidity meter onsite and shall use it to monitor surface and storm
water discharges from the project site and into onsite wetlands, streams, or lakes whenever runoff occurs
from onsite activities and during storm events. The CSWPP supervisor shall keep a log of all turbidity
measurements taken onsite and make it available to CED upon request. If the project site is subject to a
NPDES general permit for construction issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology),
then the project must comply with the monitoring requirements of that permit.
The CSWPP supervisor shall also use the specific SWPPS BMP procedures for monitoring surface and
stormwater discharge for pollutants and acceptable discharge levels. The CSWPP supervisor shall keep
logs as required by the procedures of all measurements taken onsite and make them available to CED on
request.
D.2.3.3 ESC PERFORMANCE
ESC measures shall be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent, to the maximum extent
practicable, the transport of sediment from the project site to downstream drainage systems or surface
waters or into onsite wetlands, streams, or lakes or onto adjacent properties. This performance is intended
to be achieved through proper selection, installation, and operation of the above ESC measures as detailed
in the CSWPP Standards (Appendix D) and approved by the City. However, the CSWPP supervisor
designated per Section D.2.3.1 or the City may determine at any time during construction that such
approved measures are not sufficient and additional action is required based on one of the following
criteria:
1. IF a turbidity test of surface and storm water discharges leaving the project site is greater than the
benchmark value of 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) set by the Washington State Department
of Ecology, but less than 250 NTU, the CSWPP Supervisor shall do all of the following:
a) Review the ESC plan for compliance and make appropriate revisions within 7 days of the
discharge that exceeded the benchmark of 25 NTU, AND
D.2.3 CSWPP PERFORMANCE AND COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-103
b) Fully implement and maintain appropriate ESC measures as soon as possible but no later than 10
days after the discharge that exceeded the benchmark, AND
c) Document ESC implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
2. IF a turbidity test of surface or storm water entering onsite wetlands, streams, or lakes indicates a
turbidity level greater than 5 NTU above background when the background turbidity is 50 NTU or
less, or 10% above background when the background turbidity is greater than 50 NTU, then corrective
actions and/or additional measures beyond those specified in SWDM Section 1.2.5.1 shall be
implemented as deemed necessary by the CED inspector or onsite CSWPP supervisor.
3. IF discharge turbidity is 250 NTU or greater, the CSWPP Supervisor shall do all of the following:
a) Notify the City by telephone, AND
b) Review the ESC plan for compliance and make appropriate revisions within 7 days of the
discharge that exceeded the benchmark of 25 NTU, AND
c) Fully implement and maintain appropriate ESC measures as soon as possible but no later than 10
days after the discharge that exceeded the benchmark, AND
d) Document ESC implementation and maintenance in the site log book. AND
e) Continue to sample discharges until turbidity is 25 NTU or lower, or the turbidity is no more than
10% over background turbidity.
4. IF the City determines that the condition of the construction site poses a hazard to adjacent property
or may adversely impact drainage facilities or water resources, THEN additional measures beyond
those specified in SWDM Section 1.2.5.1 may be required by the City.
D.2.3.4 SWPPS PERFORMANCE
SWPPS measures shall be applied/installed and maintained so as to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the
discharge of pollutants to onsite or adjacent stormwater systems or watercourses or onto adjacent
properties. This performance is intended to be achieved through proper selection, installation, and
operation of the above SWPPS measures as detailed in the CSWPP Standards (Appendix D) and approved
by the City. However, the CSWPP supervisor designated per Section D.2.3.1 or the City may determine at
any time during construction that such approved measures are not sufficient and additional action is
required based on the criteria described in the specific SWPPS BMP standard and/or conditions of an
approved adjustment.
D.2.3.5 FLEXIBLE COMPLIANCE
Some projects may meet the intent of Core Requirement #5 while varying from specific CSWPP
requirements in this appendix. If a project is designed and constructed such that it meets the intent of the
core requirement, the City may determine that strict adherence to a specific ESC requirement is
unnecessary; an approved adjustment (see Section 1.4) from the SWDM is not required in these
circumstances. Certain types of projects are particularly likely to warrant this greater level of flexibility;
for instance, projects on relatively flat, well drained soils, projects that are constructed in closed
depressions, or projects that only disturb a small percentage of a forested site may meet the intent of this
requirement with very few ESC measures. Note, however, that SWPPS requirements may actually be
emphasized on well-drained soils, particularly in groundwater protection or well-protection areas, or in
close proximity to water bodies.
D.2.3.6 ROADS AND UTILITIES COMPLIANCE
Road and utility projects often pose difficult erosion control challenges because they frequently cross
surface waters and because narrow right-of-way constrains areas available to store and treat sediment-
laden water. In most cases, the standards of this appendix may be applied to such linear projects without
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-104
modification. For instance, the ability to use perimeter control rather than a sediment retention facility for
small drainage areas (see Section D.2.1.3) will apply to many of these projects.
However, there may be some projects that cannot reasonably meet the standards of Core Requirement #5
and this appendix. In these cases, other measures may be proposed that will provide reasonable protection.
An adjustment is not required for such projects, unless the City determines that measures proposed by the
applicant fail to meet the intent of Core Requirement #5 and this appendix, and that significant adverse
impacts to surface water may result. Examples of other measures that may be taken in lieu of the standards
of this appendix are:
1. Phasing the project so that the site is worked progressively from end to end, rather than clearing and
grubbing the entire length of the project. This results in smaller exposed areas for shorter durations,
thus reducing the erosion risk. It is recommended that there be no more than 500 feet of open trench
during any phase of construction.
2. Placement of excavated materials from utility trenches on the upslope side of the excavation, to
minimize transport of sediment outside of the project area.
3. Mulching and vegetating cut and fill slopes as soon as they are graded. Frequently, this is done at the
end of construction when paving or utility installation is complete. Vegetating these areas at the start
of the project stabilizes those areas most susceptible to erosion.
4. Protecting all catch basin inlets with catch basin inserts or other inlet protection when these do not
drain to ponds or traps. This will not provide the same level of protection as a sediment pond or trap,
but can remove most of the sand-sized material entrained in the runoff.
5. Phasing the project so that all clearing and grading in critical area buffers occurs in the dry season.
This substantially reduces the chance of erosion and allows for rapid revegetation in the late summer
and early fall.
6. Using approved flocculent or other chemical treatment approved by the City to reduce the turbidity of
water released from sediment ponds.
7. Hiring a private consultant with expertise in ESC to review and monitor the site.
8. Limiting employee/contractor parking and overnight/weekend parking of construction vehicles to
dedicated and controlled areas prepared for drip and spill control. Options in the right-of-way for such
areas can be limited.
If alternatives are used, it may be appropriate to develop a monitoring program that would monitor
compliance with the performance standard of Core Requirement #5 and/or impacts to nearby water
resources. Of particular concern are impacts to salmonid spawning gravels. McNeil sampling is a possible
method of sampling to determine impacts to spawning gravels (see Section D.2.4.3).
D.2.3.7 ALTERNATIVE MEASURES
In general, the SWDM only contains those BMPs that are standards of the local industry. There are a
variety of other BMPs available that may also be used, even though they are not included in this appendix.
Such alternatives may be approved without an adjustment if the alternative will produce a compensating or
comparable result with the measures in this appendix. Variations on or modifications of the BMPs in this
appendix may also be granted based on the same criteria.
An adjustment may be required for products or techniques that are new and untested (see Section 1.4.4 of
the SWDM). In addition, the new product or technique must be approved through the state Department of
Ecology’s CTAPE program.12 The intent of this requirement is not to discourage new techniques, but to
12 CTAPE stands for Chemical Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology. For more information, see Ecology’s website at

D-105
ensure that new techniques are monitored and documented for adequacy and possible inclusion in
subsequent versions of the SWDM.
D.2.4 CSWPP IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
This section describes the CSWPP implementation requirements that are required at each construction site.
The measures and practices correspond to the implementation requirements in Core Requirement #5.
Three of the sections (the CSWPP report (Section D.2.4.1, below), CSWPP maintenance requirements
(Section D.2.4.4), and final site stabilization (Section D.2.4.5) are required of every project. The rest of the
sections are special requirements that may apply to the project depending on site conditions and project
type. The introductory paragraphs at the beginning of most sections present the purpose of the measures
and when they should be applied to the site. Compliance with the implementation requirements (as
appropriate for the site) ensures compliance with the CSWPP measures. Note, however, that additional
measures shall be required by the City if the existing standards are insufficient to protect adjacent
properties, drainage facilities, or water resources.

A CSWPP plan, containing the ESC plan and the SWPPS plan, and showing the location and details of
ESC and SWPPS measures, is required for all proposed projects. It shall include a CSWPP report, which
includes supporting information for providing ESC and SWPPS measures and meeting CSWPP
implementation requirements. A copy of the CSWPP plan with CSWPP report shall be kept at the project
site throughout all phases of construction. All of the materials required for the CSWPP report are standard
parts of engineering plan submittals for projects requiring drainage review. The simplest approach to
preparing this report is to compile the pieces during preparation for submittal and include the report as a
separate part of the CSWPP plan submittal package. The CSWPP report shall include the following:
1. A detailed construction sequence, as proposed by the design engineer or erosion control specialist,
identifying required ESC measures and implementation requirements;
2. A technical information report (TIR) and ESC and SWPPS plans for CED review in accordance
with Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 of the SWDM. Incorporate any City review comments as necessary to
comply with Core Requirement #5 of the SWDM (Section 1.2.5) and the Construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Standards adopted in this appendix;
3. Any calculations or information necessary to size ESC measures and demonstrate compliance with
Core Requirement #5;
4. Descriptions and any supporting documentation, operating procedures, precautions, logging and
reporting requirements, etc., for the project’s SWPPS BMPs,
5. An inspection and maintenance program in accordance with Section D.2.4.4 that includes the
designation of a certified CSWPP supervisor as point of contact; and
6. Anticipated changes or additions necessary during construction to ensure that ESC and SWPPS
measures perform in accordance with Core Requirement #5 and Sections D.2.1 and D.2.2.
While the CSWPP plan focuses on the initial measures to be applied to the site, any changes or additions
necessary during construction to ensure that ESC and SWPPS measures perform in accordance with Core
Requirement #5 and Sections D.2.1, D.2.2 and D.2.4 must be identified in the CSWPP report. The City
may require large, complex projects to phase construction and submit multiple ESC plans for different
stages of construction. Development of new CSWPP plans is not required for changes that are necessary
during construction.
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-106
D.2.4.2 WET SEASON REQUIREMENTS
Any site with exposed soils during the wet season (October 1 to April 30) shall be subject to the special
provisions below. In addition to the ESC cover measures (see Section D.2.1.2), these provisions include
covering any newly seeded areas with mulch and identifying and seeding as much disturbed area as
possible prior to September 23 in order to provide grass cover for the wet season. A “wet season ESC
plan” must be submitted and approved by the City before work proceeds or continues.
Wet Season Special Provisions
All of the following provisions for wet season construction are detailed in the referenced sections. These
requirements are listed here for the convenience of the designer and the reviewer.
1. The allowed time that a disturbed area may remain unworked without cover measures is reduced to
two consecutive working days, rather than seven (Section D.2.1.2).
2. Stockpiles and steep cut and fill slopes are to be protected if unworked for more than 12 hours
(Section D.2.1.2).
3. Cover materials sufficient to cover all disturbed areas shall be stockpiled on site (Section D.2.1.2).
4. All areas that are to be unworked during the wet season shall be seeded within one week of the
beginning of the wet season (Section D.2.1.2.6).
5. Mulch is required to protect all seeded areas (Section D.2.1.2.2).
6. Fifty linear feet of silt fence (and the necessary stakes) per acre of disturbance must be stockpiled on
site (Section D.2.1.3.1).
7. Construction road and parking lot stabilization are required for all sites unless the site is underlain by
coarse-grained soil (Section D.2.1.4.2).
8. Sediment retention is required unless no offsite discharge is anticipated for the specified design flow
(Section D.2.1.5).
9. Surface water controls are required unless no offsite discharge is anticipated for the specified design
flow (Section D.2.1.6).
10. Phasing and more conservative BMPs must be evaluated for construction activity near surface waters
(Section D.2.4.3).
11. Any runoff generated by dewatering may be required to discharge to the sanitary sewer (with
appropriate discharge authorization), portable sand filter systems, or holding tanks (Section D.2.2).
D.2.4.3 CRITICAL AREAS RESTRICTIONS
Any construction that will result in disturbed areas on or within a stream or associated buffer, a wetland or
associated buffer, or within 50 feet of a lake shall be subject to the special provisions below. These
provisions include, whenever possible, phasing the project so that construction in these areas is limited to
the dry season. The City may require more conservative BMPs, including more stringent cover
requirements, in order to protect surface water quality. Any project proposing work within 50 feet of a
steep slope hazard area shall evaluate the need for diverting runoff that might flow over the top of the
slope.
Critical Areas Special Provisions
Any project that disturbs areas on or within a stream or associated buffer, wetland or associated buffer, or
within 50 feet of a lake has the potential to seriously damage water resources, even if the project is
relatively small. While it is difficult to require specific measures for such projects because the CSWPP
plan must be very site specific, the following recommendations shall be incorporated into the plan where
appropriate:
D.2.4 CSWPP IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-107
1. Whenever possible, phase all or part of the project so that it occurs during the dry season. If this is
impossible, November through February shall be avoided since this is the most likely period for large,
high-intensity storms.
2. All projects shall be completed and stabilized as quickly as possible. Limiting the size and duration of
a project is probably the most effective form of erosion control.
3. Where appropriate, sandbags or an equivalent barrier shall be constructed between the project area and
the surface water in order to isolate the construction area from high water that might result due to
precipitation.
4. Additional perimeter protection shall be considered to reduce the likelihood of sediment entering the
surface waters. Such protection might include multiple silt fences, silt fences with a higher AOS,
construction of a berm, or a thick layer of organic mulch upslope of a silt fence.
5. If work is to occur within the ordinary high water mark of a stream, most projects must isolate the
work area from the stream by diverting the stream or constructing a cofferdam. Certain small projects
that propose only a small amount of grading may not require isolation since diversions typically result
in disturbance and the release of some sediment to the stream. For such small projects, the potential
impacts from construction with and without a diversion must be weighed.
6. If a stream must be crossed, a temporary bridge shall be considered rather than allowing equipment to
utilize the streambed for a crossing.
For projects in or near a salmonid stream, it may be appropriate to monitor the composition of any
spawning gravels within a quarter-mile of the site with a McNeil sampler or similar method approved by
the City before, during, and after construction. The purpose of such monitoring would be to determine if
the fine content of the gravels increases as a result of construction impacts. Monitoring results could be
used to guide erosion control efforts during construction and as a threshold for replacing spawning gravels
if the fine content rises significantly.
D.2.4.4 MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
All ESC and SWPPS measures shall be maintained and reviewed on a regular basis as prescribed in the
maintenance requirements for each BMP and in this section. The CSWPP supervisor shall review the site
for ESC and SWPPS at least weekly and within 24 hours of significant storms. The CWSPP supervisor
shall also review the site for ESC and SWPPS during periods of active construction where maintenance
conditions change with construction activity (e.g., site grading operations, or concrete construction and
dewatering operations for a detention vault). The City requires a written record of these reviews be kept on
site with copies submitted to CED within 48 hours.
Documentation
If CED requires that a written record be maintained, standard ESC and SWPPS Maintenance Reports
forms, included in Section D.4.1, may be used. A copy of all the required maintenance reports shall be
kept on site throughout the duration of construction. Detailed maintenance requirements for each ESC
measure are provided in Section D.2.1. Maintenance requirements for SWPPS BMPs are specified in
Section D.2.2 (as in the case of BMPs related to concrete handling or material containment) or may be
specified as part of a treatment or monitoring program, often accompanied with adjustment conditions of
approval.
Review Timing
Weekly reviews shall be carried out every 6 to 8 calendar days. Reviews shall also take place within
24 hours of significant storms. In general, a significant storm is one with more than 0.5 inches of rain in
24 hours or less. Other indications that a storm is “significant” are if the sediment ponds or traps are filled
with water, or if gullies form as a result of the runoff.
Note: The site is to be in compliance with the regulations of this appendix at all times. The requirement for
periodic reviews does not remove the applicant’s responsibility for having the site constantly in
SECTION D.2 GENERAL CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-108
compliance with Core Requirement #5 and the requirements of this appendix. The reviews are a
mechanism to ensure that all measures are thoroughly checked on a regular basis and that there is
documentation of compliance. The requirement for these reviews does not mean that CSWPP is to be
ignored in between.
D.2.4.5 FINAL STABILIZATION
Prior to obtaining final construction approval, the site shall be stabilized, the structural ESC and SWPPS
measures (such as silt fences, sediment traps, and concrete waste collection pits) removed, and drainage
facilities cleaned. The removal of ESC and SWPPS measures is not required for those projects, such as
plats, that will be followed by additional construction under a different permit. In these circumstances, the
need for removing or retaining the measures must be evaluated on a site-specific basis.
To obtain final construction approval, the following conditions must be met:
1. All disturbed areas of the site shall be vegetated or otherwise permanently stabilized. At a
minimum, disturbed areas shall be seeded and mulched (see Section D.2.1.2.6) with a high likelihood
that sufficient cover will develop shortly after final approval. Mulch without seeding is not adequate
to allow final approval of the permit, except for small areas of mulch used for landscaping. The only
exceptions to these requirements are lots within a plat that are to be developed under an approved
residential permit immediately following plat approval. In these cases, mulch and/or temporary
seeding are adequate for cover.
2. Structural measures such as, but not limited to, silt fences, pipe slope drains, construction entrances,
storm drain inlet protection, sediment traps and ponds, concrete washout and collection pits, and
pollutant storage shall be removed from the site. Measures that will quickly decompose, such as brush
barriers and organic mulches, may be left in place. In the case of silt fences, it may be best to remove
fences in conjunction with the seeding, since it may be necessary to bring machinery back in to
remove them. This will result in disturbed soils that will again require protection. The CED inspector
must approve an applicant’s proposal to remove fencing prior to the establishment of vegetation. In
some cases, such as residential building following plat development, it shall be appropriate to leave
some or all ESC measures for use during subsequent development. This shall be determined on a site-
specific basis.
3. All permanent surface water facilities, including catch basins, manholes, pipes, ditches, channels, flow
control facilities, and water quality facilities, shall be cleaned. Existing and newly constructed
BMPs/facilities shall be cleaned and/or mitigated as necessary to restore functionality. Any offsite
catch basin that required protection during construction (see Section D.2.1.5.3) shall also be cleaned.
4. If only the infrastructure of the site has been developed (e.g., subdivisions and short plats) with
building construction to occur under a different permit, then the critical area buffers, Critical Area
Tracts, or Critical Area Setback Areas shall be clearly marked as described in Section D.2.1.1 in order
to alert future buyers and builders.
D.2.4.6 NPDES REQUIREMENTS
As part of NPDES implementation, projects that will disturb one or more acres for purposes of
constructing or allowing for construction of a development, or projects disturbing less than one acre that
are part of a larger common plan of development or sale13 that will ultimately disturb one or more acres,
must apply for coverage under Ecology’s Construction Stormwater General Permit. In general, the
13 Common plan of development or sale means a site where multiple separate and distinct construction activities may take
place at different times or on different schedules, but still under a single plan. Examples include: 1) phased projects and
projects with multiple filings or lots, even if the separate phases or filings/lots will be constructed under separate contract or by
separate owners (e.g., a development where lots are sold to separate builders); 2) a development plan that may be phased
over multiple years, but is still under a consistent plan for long-term development; and 3) projects in a contiguous area that may
be unrelated but still under the same contract, such as construction of a building extension and a new parking lot at the same
facility.
D.2.4 CSWPP IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-109
construction stormwater pollution prevention plan required by the SWDM is equivalent to that required by
the State. The Ecology stormwater permit application requires the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) at
least 30 days prior to the start of construction. The only major requirement of the stormwater permit that is
not included in the SWDM is a public notice requirement. Note that this public notice for Ecology’s
stormwater permit may be published concurrently with other public notices required for permits or SEPA.
Contact Ecology at (360) 407-7156 for complete information on permit thresholds, applications, and
requirements.
D.2.4.7 FOREST PRACTICE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
Projects that will clear more than two acres of forest or 5,000 board feet of timber must apply for a Class
IV Special Forest Practice permit from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WSDNR).
All such clearing is also subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (RCW 43.21C) and will require
SEPA review. The City assumes lead agency status for Class IV permits and the application may be
consolidated with the associated City development permit or approval. The permit must be initiated with
WSDNR, but will then be transferred over to the City to conduct the SEPA review and grant the permit.
Contact the WSDNR for complete information on permit thresholds, applications, and requirements.
D.2.5 CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION
PLANS
This section details the specifications and contents for CSWPP plans, containing ESC plans and SWPPS
plans. A CSWPP plan includes the plan’s drawings plus a CSWPP report, which provides all supporting
information and any additional direction necessary for implementing ESC and SWPPS measures and
meeting CSWPP implementation requirements. The CSWPP plan must be submitted to CED as part of a
complete engineering plan to facilitate proper drainage review. A copy of the approved CSWPP plan (with
CSWPP report) must be kept on the project site (see Section D.2.4.1) at all times during the construction
phase.
D.2.5.1 ESC PLAN
ESC Plan General Specifications
The site improvement plan shall be used as the base of the ESC plan. Certain detailed information (e.g.,
pipe catch basin size, stub-out locations, etc.) that is not relevant may be omitted to make the ESC plan
easier to comprehend. At a minimum, the ESC plan shall include all of the information required for the
base map of a site improvement plan (see Table 2.3.1A of the SWDM), as well as existing and proposed
roads, driveways, parking areas, buildings and drainage facilities (including existing and proposed
BMPs/facilities), utility corridors not associated with roadways, relevant critical areas 14 and associated
buffers, and proposed final topography. A smaller scale may be used to provide better comprehension and
understanding.
The ESC plan shall generally be designed for proposed topography, not existing topography, since rough
grading is usually the first step in site disturbance. The ESC plan shall address all phases of construction
(e.g., clearing, grading, installation of utilities, surfacing, and final stabilization). The City may require
large, complex projects to phase construction and submit multiple ESC plans for different stages of
construction.
The ESC plan outlines the minimum requirements for anticipated site conditions. During construction,
ESC plans shall be revised as necessary by the CSWPP supervisor or as directed by the City to address
changing site conditions, unexpected storm events, or non-compliance with the ESC performance criteria
in Section D.2.3.3. If non-compliance with the ESC performance criteria occurs, the plan must be updated
14 Relevant critical areas, for the purposes of drainage review, include aquatic areas, wetlands, flood hazard areas, erosion
hazard areas, landslide hazard areas, steep slope hazard areas, and critical aquifer recharge areas.

D.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP
Smaller project sites have similar ESC and SWPPS needs. This section offers a simplified set of
requirements for applying erosion and sediment and pollutant/spill controls to certain smaller project sites
and guides the user through the preparation and submittal of a Small Site CSWPP Plan with the permit
application.
D.3.1 INTRODUCTION TO SMALL SITE CSWPP
What is CSWPP, ESC and SWPPS, and Why is it Required for My Site?
ESC – for erosion and sediment control and SWPPS – for stormwater pollution prevention and spill control
are two strategies comprising the Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention (CSWPP) plan
requirement on construction sites in the City.
The basic erosion and sediment control requirement—that sediment transport and other construction
related pollutants shall be prevented to the maximum extent practicable from leaving the site—applies to
all projects in the City of Renton. All projects, including those with small project sites, are required to
use ESC measures. ESC measures prevent soil erosion during development of the site. The types of
measures required for small sites are generally simple to construct and easy to maintain, and with few
exceptions do not require engineering or formal design. Examples of such measures include silt fences,
phasing or minimizing clearing, routing water around exposed soils, and placing straw or other mulching
materials and cover exposed soils.
ESC is required because soils eroded from the site are always deposited downstream in pipes, streams, or
lakes. Soils deposited in a pipe or channel reduce its capacity to convey flows and can increase the
likelihood of flooding. Soils deposited in BMP s/facilities can significantly reduce their infiltrative
capacity. Soils deposited in streams can clog the gravels that salmon use for spawning. Nutrients
associated with soils that reach lakes can upset the chemical balance of the lake, causing excessive growth
of algae and decreasing recreational uses such as swimming, boating, and fishing.
While the majority of small sites will have less need for the type and extent of construction activity found
on large projects, some activities and the materials used are common to all site construction. SWPPS
measures are required to ensure effective planning and implementation of proper handling, spill prevention
and cleanup for equipment fuels and petroleum products, paints and solvents, high pH wastewater from
concrete construction operations and other pollutants common on small sites. Measures on small sites are
usually straightforward and easily implemented
Which Projects May Use Small Site Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Requirements?
All projects that do any amount of land disturbing activity are subject to the ESC standards in this
appendix per RMC 4-4-060 regardless of whether a permit is required or drainage review under the
SWDM is triggered. Any such project that is not subject to drainage review under the SWDM and that
disturbs soil on less than 1 acre of land may use the Small Site CSWPP requirements contained in this
section. In addition, these projects must apply erosion and sediment control in accordance with
RMC 4-4-060.
Any proposed project subject to Simplified Drainage Review as determined in Section 1.1.2.1 of the
SWDM, and which disturbs soil on less than 1 acre of land, may use the Small Site CSWPP requirements
contained in this section. These same requirements are contained in Appendix C of the SWDM, which
details the drainage requirements for small agricultural and single family residential building or
subdivision projects subject to Simplified Drainage Review.
SECTION D.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-118
What Will I Be Required To Do?
It is the responsibility of both the applicant and the contractor to minimize erosion and the transport of
sediment and pollutants to the greatest extent possible. You and/or your contractor will be required to
evaluate each of the small site ESC and SWPPS requirements specified in Section D.3.2 below for
applicability to your project site. This evaluation and the proposed ESC and SWPPS measures to be used
to meet these requirements will need to be documented in a Small Site CSWPP Plan that must be
submitted to CED for approval prior to commencing land disturbing activities. See the submittal
requirements in Section D.3.6.
D.3.2 SMALL SITE CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
For projects that disturb less than 1 acre of land, all of the following small site ESC and SWPPS
requirements must be evaluated for applicability to the proposed project:
A. MARK CLEARING LIMITS/MINIMIZE CLEARING
Prior to beginning land disturbing activities, all clearing limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, trees that
are to be preserved within the construction area and any existing or proposed on-site BMP areas shall be
clearly marked, both in the field and on the small site CSWPP plan, to prevent damage and offsite impacts.
Also, clearing shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. See “Mark Clearing
Limits/Minimize Clearing,” Section D.3.4.1, for more detailed specifications.
B. MINIMIZE SEDIMENT TRACKED OFFSITE
1. Establish a stabilized entrance for construction vehicle access to minimize the tracking of sediment
onto public roads. Entrance and exit shall be limited to one route, if possible. See “Stabilized
Construction Entrance,” Section D.2.1.4.1, for detailed specifications.
2. If sediment is tracked offsite, public roads shall be cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day, or more
frequently during wet weather, if necessary to prevent sediment from entering waters of the state.
Sediment shall be removed from roads by shoveling or pickup sweeping and shall be transported to a
controlled sediment disposal area. Street washing will be allowed only after sediment is removed in
this manner. Street wash wastewater shall be controlled by pumping back onsite, or otherwise be
prevented from discharging into drainage systems tributary to surface waters. This requirement shall
be included as a note on the small site CSWPP plan.
C. CONTROL SEDIMENT
Runoff from disturbed areas must pass through a sediment control measure to prevent the transport of
sediment downstream until the disturbed area is fully stabilized. Sediment controls must be installed as
one of the first steps in grading and shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place.
One or more the following sediment controls may be used to meet this requirement:
• Silt Fence (See Section D.2.1.3.1)
• Vegetated Strip (See Section D.2.1.3.3)
• Triangular Silt Dike (See Section D.2.1.3.4)
• Storm Drain Inlet Protection (See Section D.2.1.5.3)
D. STABILIZE EXPOSED SOILS
All exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized through the application of cover measures to protect
the soil from the erosive forces of raindrop impact, flowing water, and wind erosion. One or more of the
following cover measures may be used to meet this requirement during the construction phase:
• Mulching (See Section D.2.1.2.2)
• Plastic Covering (See Section D.2.1.2.4)
• Nets and Blankets (See Section D.2.1.2.3)
D.3.2 SMALL SITE CSWPP REQUIREMENTS
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-119
• Seeding (See Section D.2.1.2.6)
• Sodding (See Section D.2.1.2.7)
Cover measures shall be applied in accordance with the following requirements:
1. Cover measures must be installed if an area is to remain unworked for more than seven days during
the dry season (May 1 to September 30) or for more than two consecutive working days during the
wet season (October 1 to April 30). These time limits may be relaxed if an area poses a low risk of
erosion due to soil type, slope gradient, anticipated weather conditions, or other factors. Conversely,
the City may reduce these time limits if site conditions warrant greater protection (e.g., adjacent to
significant aquatic resources or highly erosive soils) or if significant precipitation is expected.
2. Any area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall be seeded or sodded unless the City
determines that winter weather makes vegetation establishment infeasible. During the wet season,
exposed ground slopes and stockpile slopes with an incline of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3H:1V) or
steeper and with more than ten feet of vertical relief shall be covered if they are to remain unworked
for more than 12 hours. Also during the wet season, the material necessary to cover all disturbed areas
must be stockpiled on site. The intent of these cover requirements is to have as much area as possible
covered during any period of precipitation.
E. CONTROL RUNOFF
Stormwater runoff originating on the site and/or entering the site from offsite areas must be controlled so
as to minimize erosion of disturbed areas and exposed cut and fill slopes, and to minimize erosive impacts
on existing or proposed on-site BMP areas. The following runoff control measures shall be used as needed
per the conditions of use and specifications for each measure:
• Interceptor Dikes and Swales (see Section D.2.1.6.1 for conditions of use and specifications)
• Ditches (see Section D.3.4.2 for conditions of use and specifications)
• Pipe Slope Drain (see Section D.3.4.3 for conditions of use and specifications)
F. CONTROL DEWATERING
Accumulated water in foundation areas, excavations, and utility trenches shall be removed and disposed of
in a manner that does not pollute surface waters or cause downstream erosion or flooding. See
“Dewatering Control,” Section D.2.1.7, for detailed specifications.
G. CONTROL OTHER POLLUTANTS (SWPPS)
All construction activities shall be done in a manner that prevents pollution of surface waters and ground
waters as specified in this appendix and King County’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual (SPPM).
See “Control of Other Pollutants (SWPPS)” (Section D.3.5) for specific measures and references to
applicable activity sheets in the SPPM. References to SWPPS BMPs from this appendix and applicable
activity sheets in SPPM shall be included in the small site CSWPP plan.
H. FINAL STABILIZATION
1. Prior to final construction approval, the project site shall be stabilized to prevent sediment-laden water
from leaving the project site after project completion. All disturbed areas of the project site shall be
vegetated or otherwise permanently stabilized. At a minimum, disturbed areas must be seeded and
mulched to ensure that sufficient cover will develop shortly after final approval. Mulch without
seeding is adequate for small areas to be landscaped before October 1.
2. All temporary ESC and SWPPS measures shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization
is achieved or after the temporary measures are no longer needed. Trapped sediment shall be removed
or stabilized onsite. On-site BMPs impacted during construction shall be restored. Disturbed soil areas
resulting from removal of measures or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized with seeding or
sodding.
SECTION D.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-120
D.3.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Projects that disturb less than 1 acre of land must implement the CSWPP measures determined necessary
in Section D.3.2 in accordance with the following requirements:
1. The placement and type of proposed ESC and SWPPS measures are to be shown on a Small Site
CSWPP plan. This plan must be in accordance with the specifications for such plans outlined in
Section D.3.6 unless otherwise directed by CED.
2. If CED finds that implementation of the proposed Small Site CSWPP plan is insufficient to prevent
the discharge of sediment or other pollutants to the maximum extent practicable, additional measures
will be required by CED. In some cases, an ESC plan or a complete Construction Stormwater
Pollution Plan prepared by a civil engineer per Chapter 2 of the SWDM may be required.
3. The contractor or other persons performing construction activities shall comply with the stormwater
pollution prevention and spill control measures/BMPs specified for such activities in Section D.3.5
and/or the King County SPPM. A note to this effect must be put on the approved Small Site CSWPP
plan.
4. Prior to commencing construction, the applicant must identify to the City a contact person
responsible for overseeing the installation and maintenance of required ESC and SWPPS measures
and compliance with this appendix and the SPPM during construction. The name and contact
information for this person must be on or attached to Small Site CSWPP plan at the time of
construction.
5. Both the applicant and contractor are responsible for implementation and maintenance of the
approved CSWPP plan and any additional measures required by the City.
6. The Small Site CSWPP plan shall be retained onsite or within reasonable access to the site. The
plan shall be modified whenever there is a significant change in the design, construction, operation, or
maintenance at the construction site that has, or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters. The plan shall be modified, if during inspections or investigations
conducted by the City, it is determined that the plan is ineffective in eliminating or significantly
minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharges from the site. The plan shall be modified as necessary
to include additional or modified measures designed to correct problems identified.
D.3.4 ESC MEASURES MODIFIED FOR SMALL SITES
ESC for Small Sites. This section presents supplementary or modified ESC measures for use on small
sites (i.e., construction sites of projects disturbing less than 1 acre of land). General ESC measures can be
found in Section D.2.1.
D.3.4.1 MARK CLEARING LIMITS/MINIMIZE CLEARING
Purpose
Minimizing clearing is the most effective method of erosion control. Undisturbed vegetation intercepts and
slows rainwater. Plant roots hold soil in place, and dead vegetation on the ground acts as a mulch. Marking
clearing limits around existing or proposed on-site BMP areas helps protect their infiltrative soil
characteristics from construction activity.
Applications
Clearing limits shall be marked and clearing minimized on any site where significant areas of undisturbed
vegetation will be retained, or where existing or proposed BMP/facility areas require protection from
construction activities.
D.3.4 ESC MEASURES MODIFIED FOR SMALL SITES
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-121
Design Specifications
1. Minimizing clearing should be incorporated into the site design. Clearing limits must be marked on
the small site ESC plan.
2. On the ground, clearing limits must be clearly marked with brightly colored tape or plastic or metal
safety fencing. If tape is used, it should be supported by vegetation or stakes, and should be about
3 to 6 feet high and highly visible. BMP /facility areas to be protected should be marked with brightly
colored silt fence to add sedimentation protection. Equipment operators should be informed of areas of
vegetation that are to be left undisturbed and BMP /facility areas that are to be protected.
3. The duff layer, native top soil, and natural vegetation shall be retained in an undisturbed state to the
maximum extent practicable. If it is not practicable to retain the duff layer in place, it should be
stockpiled onsite, covered to prevent erosion, and replaced immediately upon completion of the
ground disturbing activities.
Maintenance
Fencing shall be inspected regularly and repaired or replaced as needed.
D.3.4.2 DITCHES
Purpose
Ditches intercept and convey runoff from disturbed areas to sediment control locations. They also convey
runoff intercepted from undisturbed areas around the construction site to a non-erosive discharge point.
Conditions of Use
Ditches may be used anywhere that concentrated runoff is to be conveyed on or around the construction
site. Temporary pipe systems may also be used to convey runoff.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. Up to 30,000 square feet may be drained by a 12-inch deep trapezoidal ditch with a 1-foot bottom
width. Up to 2 acres may be drained by an 18-inch deep trapezoidal ditch with a 1-foot bottom width.
Ditches draining larger areas will need to be sized by a civil engineer.
2. Ditch side slopes shall be no steeper than 2H:1V.
3. Ditches on 5% or steeper grades shall be armored with rip rap or contain crushed rock check dams
spaced such that the crest of each dam is even with the toe of the next upstream dam. See Figure
D.2.1.6.E for details on check dam installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. Any sediment deposition of more than 0.5 feet shall be removed so that the channel is restored to its
design capacity.
2. If the channel capacity is insufficient for the design flow, it must be determined whether the problem
is local (e.g., a constriction or bend) or the channel is under-designed. If the problem is local, the
channel capacity must be increased through construction of a berm(s) or by excavation. If the problem
is under-design, the design engineer shall be notified and the channel redesigned to a more
conservative standard to be approved by the City.
3. The channel shall be examined for signs of scouring and erosion of the bed and banks. If scouring or
erosion has occurred, affected areas shall be protected by riprap or an erosion control blanket or net.
SECTION D.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-122
D.3.4.3 PIPE SLOPE DRAIN
Purpose
Pipe slope drains are designed to carry concentrated runoff down steep slopes without causing erosion, or
saturation of slide-prone soils. Pipe slope drains may be used to divert water away from or over bare soil
to prevent gullies, channel erosion, and saturation of slide prone soils
Conditions of Use
Pipe slope drains should be used when a temporary or permanent stormwater conveyance is needed to
move water down a steep slope to avoid erosion. Pipe slope drains may be:
1. Used on any slope with a gradient of 2H:1V or greater and with at least 10 feet of vertical relief.
2. Used to drain water collected from aquifers exposed on cut slopes and convey it to the base of the
slope.
3. Used to collect clean runoff from plastic sheet cover and direct away from any exposed soils.
4. Installed in conjunction with silt fence to drain collected water to a controlled area.
Design and Installation Specifications
1. See Figure D.2.1.6.D for details.
2. Up to 30,000 square feet may be drained by each 6-inch minimum diameter pipe. Up to 2 acres may
be drained by each 12-inch minimum diameter pipe.
3. The maximum drainage area allowed for any 12-inch pipe is 2 acres. For larger areas, more than one
pipe shall be used.
4. The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be thoroughly compacted.
5. The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain and be fused or welded, or have
flange-bolted mechanical joints to ensure a watertight seal. Ensure that the entrance area is stable and
large enough to direct flow into the pipe.
6. Slope drains shall be continuously fused, welded, or flange-bolted mechanical joint pipe systems with
proper anchoring to the soil.
7. Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by the installation.
Maintenance Standards
1. The inlet shall not be undercut or bypassed by water. If there are problems, the head wall shall be
appropriately reinforced.
2. No erosion shall occur at the outlet point. If erosion occurs, additional protection shall be added.
D.3.5 CONTROL OF OTHER POLLUTANTS (SWPPS)
SWPPS for Small Sites. SWPPS measures are not modified for small sites; however, the scope and
complexity may be lessened in accordance with the scope of the small site project. Construction activity
shall not allow pollutant discharge to surface waters or water resources. The measures listed below provide
summary guidance on typical issues and associated BMPs. See Section D.2.2 for additional SWPPS
information and measures.
Purpose
To prevent the discharge of pollutants resulting from construction activities. The Small Site CSWPP plan
is not complete if this section is not included in the planning and implementation of CSWPP for the Small
Site project.
D.3.5 CONTROL OF OTHER POLLUTANTS (SWPPS)
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual 12/12/2016
D-123
Application
Pollution control measures shall be used whenever there is a potential for the discharge to ground or
surface water of any pollutants used on the site.
Pollution Control Measures
The following pollution control measures shall be implemented as applicable using activity-specific BMPs
detailed in Section D.2.2 (and Section D.2.1 as applicable) of this appendix and the King County SPPM
(listed Activity Sheets are viewable at <http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/water-and-
land/stormwater/documents/pollution-prevention-manual.aspx>):
1. All pollutants, including waste materials, that occur onsite shall be handled and disposed of in a
manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. See BMP s D.2.2.1 “Concrete Handling” on
and D.2.2.4 “Material Delivery, Storage, and Containment” on of Section D.2.2 of this appendix and
SPPM Activity Sheets A-8, A-11, A-12, A-16, A-17, A-22, A-29, A-38, and A-41.
2. Cover, containment, and protection from vandalism shall be provided for all chemicals, liquid
products, petroleum products, and non-inert wastes present on the site (see Chapter 173-304 WAC for
the definition of inert waste). Onsite fueling tanks shall include secondary containment. See BMP
D.2.2.4 “Material Delivery, Storage, and Containment” in Section D.2.2 of this appendix and SPPM
Activity Sheets A-2, A-3, A-4, A-6, A-8, and A-9.
3. Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles involving oil changes, hydraulic system
drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank drain down and removal, and other
activities which may result in discharge or spillage of pollutants to the ground or into stormwater
runoff must be conducted using spill prevention measures, such as drip pans. Contaminated surfaces
shall be cleaned immediately following any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs may be
performed onsite using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the vehicle. See BMP
D.2.2.4 “Material Delivery, Storage, and Containment” in Section D.2.2 of this appendix and SPPM
Activity Sheets A-13, A-17, A-18 and A-48.
4. Application of agricultural chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, shall be conducted in a
manner and at application rates that will not result in loss of chemical to stormwater runoff.
Manufacturers’ recommendations for application rates and procedures shall be followed. See SPPM
Activity Sheets A-5, A-25, and A-26.
5. Stormwater discharges shall not cause or contribute to a violation of the water quality standard for pH
in the receiving water. Measures shall be used to prevent or treat contamination of stormwater runoff
by pH modifying sources. These sources include, but are not limited to:
• Bulk cement (see SPPM Activity Sheets A-19, and BMPs D.2.2.1 “Concrete Handling” and
D.2.2.4 “Material Delivery, Storage, and Containment” in this appendix)
• Cement kiln dust, fly ash (see SPPM Activity Sheet A-19, and BMPs D.2.2.1 “Concrete
Handling” and D.2.2.9 “Use of High pH Soil Amendments on Construction Sites” in this
appendix)
• New concrete washing and curing waters (see BMPs D.2.2.5 through D.2.2.8 in this appendix for
high pH treatment and wastewater disposal requirements)
• Waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing (see SPPM Activity Sheets A-19,
A-29, A-44 and BMP D.2.2.3 “Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention” in this appendix)
• Exposed aggregate processes, and concrete pumping and mixer washout waters (see SPPM
Activity Sheets A-19, A-44 and BMPs D.2.2.2 “Concrete Washout Area” and D.2.2.1 “Concrete
Handling”)
Also see Section D.2.1 of this appendix for ESC measures that will assist in containment of high pH
runoff.

6. For full compliance with RMC 4-6-030 Drainage (Surface Water) Standards, the project may need to
include measures for the permanent structures and features constructed under other permits. See the
SPPM for Activity Sheets describing issues and measures to address them. Common issues include:
• Containment area planning for storage of liquid materials in stationary or portable tanks, storage
of solid waste and food wastes including cooking grease, and to avoid pollutant spills to surface
waters. See SPPM Activity Sheets A-2, A-3, A-7, and A-8.
• Permanent canopy and paving requirements for permanent outdoor vehicle parking, maintenance
and storage areas, and manufacturing or processing associated with metal products. See SPPM
BMP Information Sheets #3 and #4 and Activity Sheets A-21 and A-31.
D.3.6 SMALL SITE CSWPP SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
A Small Site CSWPP Plan must be submitted for all projects that are eligible to use the Small Site CSWPP
requirements in this section. For projects in Simplified Drainage Review that disturb soil on less than
1 acre of land, this plan is part of the Simplified Drainage Plan described in the Simplified Drainage
Requirements (Appendix C of the SWDM). For other projects, including those that may not be subject to
drainage review, this plan would be submitted as directed by CED. Directions for preparing a Small Site
CSWPP Plan are provided below, and a sample plan is presented in Section D.3.6.3.
D.3.6.1 SMALL SITE CSWPP PLAN MAP
The Small Site CSWPP Plan includes information that is routinely collected for a single family residence
site plan or a short plat plot plan already required to be submitted with a permit application. One copy
of the site plan or plot plan shall be used to show how ESC and SWPPS measures are to be applied to the
site to comply with the Small Site CSWPP requirements. The approximate location and size of clearing
limits, rock construction entrance, flow paths, silt fences, etc., should be indicated on the Small Site
CSWPP Plan. Any plan must contain at a minimum the features listed in Section D.3.6.2.
Single family residential projects that qualify for Small Site CSWPP requirements should use the
Residential Site Plan (see CED Bulletin No. 9, “Obtaining a Residential Building Permit”) as the base map
for the CSWPP plan.
Proposed short plats that qualify for Simplified Drainage Review should use the Simplified Drainage
Plan (see Simplified Drainage Requirements, Appendix C of the SWDM) as a base plan for the CSWPP
plan. All projects subject to Simplified Drainage Review are required to submit these plans and a drainage
assessment. If engineering plans are required for a short plat application, they may be used as a base plan
for Small Site CSWPP plans. How the ESC and SWPPS measures are to be applied on the site are added
directly to the base map. For more complicated sites, an erosion control professional should be readily able
to add Small Site CSWPP BMPs to the base map with minimal additional effort or expense.
The CSWPP plans for short plats usually apply only to the site development, since siting of homes on lots
created by short plats is done after the short plat is approved (when the home applies for a residential
building permit). It is the responsibility of the applicant for a proposed single family residence to show in
detail how ESC and SWPPS requirements are met. The applicant is also required to comply with the King
County SPPM and RMC 4-6-030.
D.3.6.2 FEATURES REQUIRED ON SMALL SITE CSWPP PLANS
The Small Site CSWPP Plan should be drawn on 8-1/2″ x 11″, 8-1/2″ x 14″, or 11″ x 17″ paper (see the
sample plan in Figure D.3.6.A), and must include the following information.
Identification
1. Name, address, and phone number of the applicant
2. Scale—use a scale that clearly illustrates drainage features and flow controls (1″ = 20′ is standard
engineering scale; minimum acceptable scale is 1″ = 50′)

2. Benchmark (a permanent mark indicating elevation and serving as a reference in the topographic
survey)
3. Datum (assumed datum is acceptable in many cases, i.e., fire hydrant base = 100′; datum for projects
in or near FEMA floodplains should be NGVD 1929 or NAVD 1988 per the appropriate FEMA flood
mapping, as directed by the local authority)
4. If over 15% slope: 5-foot contours, top of slope, toe of slope, and any erosion or landslide areas.
Proposed ESC
1. Delineation of proposed clearing limits
2. Type and location of erosion control facilities
3. Location of any significant offsite drainage features within 200 feet of the discharge point(s) for the
lot, including streams, lakes, roadside ditches.
Proposed SWPPS
1. Areas of designated contractor and equipment parking, fueling and equipment maintenance
2. Type and location of spill control, materials containment and concrete handling/washout facilities
3. Notes referencing BMPs in this appendix and/or in the SPPM.
Topography/Drainage Features
1. Outline of any stream, wetland, lake, closed depression, or other water feature (including any required
buffer width)
2. Location of all steep slopes, landslide hazard areas, and coal mine hazard areas (including buffers)
3. Location of all existing and proposed drainage easements, ditches, swales, pipes, etc.
4. Location of all critical areas as shown on any recorded critical areas notice on title.
D.3.6.3 SAMPLE SMALL SITE CSWPP PLAN
Proposed ESC. All sites are required to control erosion and contain sediment. The planning and use of
ESC measures will be illustrated for a single family residence. Although the specifics of any lot will differ
from those shown here, the process will be similar. The first step in the process is to determine whether the
site is eligible to use the Small Site ESC requirements. This evaluation and the following materials are
usually included in the drainage assessment that accompanies the Small Site ESC Plan.
The proposed house is to be placed on an existing 1.69-acre lot (see Figure D.3.6.A). Impervious surfaces
are the roof, a driveway, and a parking area. The total proposed impervious surface is 6,950 square feet as
determined from the residential site plan layout of residence and driveway (the site plan provides the base
map for the Small Site CSWPP Plan). The amount exceeds 2,000 square feet but falls below the
10,000-square-foot limit for Simplified Drainage Review. Therefore, a Small Site CSWPP Plan is
applicable.
SECTION D.3 SMALL SITE CSWPP
12/12/2016 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual
D-126
The proposal is not in a basin plan area or critical drainage area that might contain clearing limits.
However, a portion of a wetland and an erosion hazard area have been identified on the site, and their
approximate locations are shown in Figure D.3.6.A. While neither the wetland and its buffer, nor the
erosion hazard area would be disturbed during construction, the locations of these critical areas must be
verified.
Approximately the southern 2/3 of the site will be cleared. Trees and other native vegetation will be left
intact along the northern edge, near the street. Buffers will be maintained around the wetland and erosion
hazard areas, respectively. The site slopes towards the street.
In order to prevent erosion and to encourage sedimentation, the following ESC BMPs are used:
1. Clearing will be minimized to the extent possible, and clearing limits will be marked by fencing or
other means on the ground.
2. Water will be routed around the erosion hazard area and around the steep section of the driveway by
constructing an interceptor dike or ditch that will intersect and direct water away to the east of the site.
3. Water will be filtered before it reaches the wetland. Silt fencing or other perimeter protection will be
placed along slope contours at the limits of clearing in the vicinity of both the wetland and the erosion
hazard area.
4. A rocked construction entrance will be placed at the end of the driveway.
5. Mulch will be spread over all cleared areas of the site when they are not being worked. Mulch will
consist of air-dried straw and chipped site vegetation. Other cover methods that prevent erosion may
also be installed.
The BMPs shown in Figure D.3.6.A must be installed as clearing progresses. For example, the rock
construction entrance must be installed as soon as the path for the driveway has been cleared. Additional
ESC measures must be installed if the ones proposed above prove insufficient.
Proposed SWPPS. Although the footprints of the proposed house and driveway are not shown in this
example, the project description suggests typical house building materials and concrete
foundation/driveway construction. In order to prevent pollutants from entering water resources and
groundwater, the following SWPPS BMPs would be used:
1. Designated parking for contractors and spill containment if equipment will be left onsite (reference
SPPM Activity Sheet A-31 on the Small Site CSWPP plan).
2. Concrete handling/washout containment area (indicate location) and description/detail (reference
BMPs D.2.2.1 “Concrete Handling” and D.2.2.2 “Concrete Washout Area” from this appendix on the
Small Site CSWPP plan).

Form

Individual Authorization Application for Construction Dewatering
Alternative Formats On Request 206-477-5300 TTY Relay: 711
Instructions
It may be possible to send water from construction sites into the sanitary sewer if approved by the King County Industrial
Waste Program (KCIW) and the local sewer agency.
Who needs approval
Most construction projects discharging to sanitary sewers in King County’s Wastewater Service area (including combined
sewers that carry stormwater and sewage in the older parts of Seattle) need approval.
• Single family residential construction projects should check with the local city or sewer agency. KCIW does not
require applications from these projects.
• Projects discharging to separated storm sewers or surface water bodies do not need approval from wastewater
utilities. Check with the appropriate entity:
• Contaminated site any size: Washington State Department of Ecology
• Clean site more than 1 acre: Washington State Department of Ecology
• Clean site less than 1 acre: Local jurisdiction’s stormwater utility
How to get approval to discharge to sanitary sewers
1. Contact the local sewer agency. Confirm they accept water from construction sites. Confirm the location and
conditions for discharging to their system. A list of local agencies is available:
http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/wtd/About/SewerAgencies.aspx
2. Select your King County construction dewatering application (individual or general).
3. Download, complete, print and sign your application. Scan your signed application and submit it to King County
via email: info.KCIW@kingcounty.gov.
4. Contact the local sewer agency for permission to connect to their system and any additional requirements.
Select your King County application
KCIW offers two types of authorizations for discharging construction water to
sanitary sewers: Individual and General. You may be able to use the simpler form,
General Authorization Application for Construction Dewatering, if your project
meets all of the following criteria:
• Site is not contaminated.
• Site is less than 1 acre.
• Project will discharge less than 25,000 gallons per day (gpd) to the sanitary sewer.
• Site has a sedimentation tank.
If your project does not meet all four criteria, you must use this form, Individual Authorization Application for
Construction Dewatering. Both forms are available at www.kingcounty.gov/industrialwaste. Applying for a General
Authorization is easier and requires less documentation (no exhibits) than an Individual Authorization. No reporting is
necessary once the General Authorization is approved.
Tips for a Successful Application
• Complete one application for each construction site.
• Answer all questions; use additional pages, if needed. (See the application checklist on page 2.)
• Make sure the authorized representative (site owner) signs this application. (See pages 3 and 4.)
• Keep the original signed application in your records until the project is complete.
• For questions, contact KCIW at info.KCIW@kingcounty.gov or 206-477-5300.

Detailed Project Information
Follow these instructions to complete the table below:
• Process or activity generating wastewater. Enter a brief process number and name for each process and activity (for
example: 1. well dewatering, 2. wheel wash, 3. equipment cleaning, 4. concrete curing, 5. jet grouting, 6. contaminated
stormwater runoff).
• Substances and/or pollutants in wastewater. List all substances in the wastewater (such as sediment/solids, caustic
and/or acidic, oil and grease, other contaminants if groundwater or soil is contaminated).
• Type of pretreatment. For each waste stream, identify the type of wastewater pretreatment you will provide (such as
filtration, chemical precipitation, settling, pH neutralization, electrocoagulation, chitosan). King County policy requires t hat at
a minimum, an appropriately sized settling tank (weir tank preferred) must be installed to provide gravity separation.
• Frequency of discharge. Indicate the frequency of discharge. Enter "continuous" if you will discharge continuously to the
sewer as the wastewater is generated or "batch" if you will store wastewater and discharge it to the sewer in batches.
• Discharge point. Enter the manhole or side sewer location approved by the local city or sewer agency for temporary

Water Quantity Balance Calculations
For each process or activity listed in the table above, thoroughly document the information, methods, and assumptions used to
calculate your site’s water quantity balance. Use a storm event of 2 inches per 24 hours to calculate the maximum daily stormwater
runoff volume. Add attachments if you need more space.
1. See Exhibit E - Relevant excerpts from the project Geotechnical Report provide detailed discussion of trench dewatering by sump
and pump. Project specifications will include limits on dewatering to prevent settlement and migration of contaminated groundwater.
These constraints are expected to limit dewatering flows to those shown herein.Contaminated water shall be treated to meet
regulatory requirements.
2. See Exhibit E - Relevant excerpts from the project Geotechnical Report provide detailed discussion of trench dewatering by well or
well points. Project specifications will include limits on dewatering to prevent settlement and migration of contaminated groundwater.
These constraints are expected to limit dewatering flows to those shown herein. Contaminated water shall be treated to meet
regulatory requirements.
3. Stormwater Runoff:
Maximum allowable disturbance area per specifications is one block, or 1,000-ft from Rainier to Shattuck on 3rd St.
Impervious roadway width is 45-ft.
Assume wost case all impervious area flows into excavation. Area = 1,000*45 = 45,000-sf
Multiply by 2-inch storm 45,000*(2/12)*7.48 = 56,100 gallons. Round up to 60,000 gallonn.
4. Water Main Disinfection and Testing:
Maximum allowable disinfection and testing length per specifications is 1500-ft.
Largest proposed water pipe is 12"
Volume = 1500*pi()*0.5^2 = 1178 gal or approximately 1200 gallons.
Add 25% safety factor 1200*1.25 -> 1500 gallons.

Detailed Project Information (continued)
If your project will discharge greater than 25,000 gpd during November through April, explain in detail why discharge to surface water
is not feasible.
Due to potential hydrocarbon contamination and the volume of water, treatment in order to discharge to surface water would be very
costly.
Is there known groundwater or soil contamination on site?
Yes
If yes, provide a summary of the contamination, site history, and sources of contamination. Submit Exhibit D (see page 8).
See Exhibit D
Does this site have a Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) Plan that outlines best management practices (BMPs)?
Yes If yes, the plan must be available onsite for reference throughout the project.
No If no, please explain:
Contact the local sewer agency (city or sewer district) to receive instructions on discharge conditions .
(www.kingcounty.gov/environment/wtd/About/SewerAgencies.aspx) and complete the following:
Name and telephone number of the local city or sewer district personnel you contacted.
Mike Benoit, Renton Wastewater Utility, 425-430-7206
Maximum discharge rate (gpm) specified by the local city or sewer district contact.
N/A
Sewer account number or billing method that the local city or sewer district will use to assess sewer fees.

Exhibits
Exhibits A and B are required for all applications.
A. Site Plan. Attach a site plan that shows the location of activities or processes generating wastewater, settling ponds/tanks or
other wastewater treatment system components, wastewater conveyance lines, temporary points of discharge (approved by the
local city or sewer district), groundwater and/or sediment sampling locations, streets, and public sewer and storm drainage
facilities.
B. Wastewater Treatment System. Attach a description of the proposed wastewater treatment system, including the following:
1. Diagrams, specification sheets, and basic design data for system components (for example, pumps, tanks, mixers).
2. Schematic flow diagram of the treatment process that shows system piping, tanks, and control features.
3. Maximum flow rate for the system.
NOTE: KCIW may require an engineering justification and/or other evidence demonstrating that discharge from the site will meet
applicable permit effluent limitations.
Minimum Standards for Rectangular Sedimentation Tank Design is available here:
http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/wastewater/IndustrialWaste/GettingDischargeApproval/Construction/Sedimentati on_tank
s.aspx.
Exhibit C is required for approval of projects that will discharge longer than six months:
C. Dewatering Schedule. Attach a wastewater discharge schedule indicating when each activity or process is expected to generate
wastewater for the duration of the project. For each process and discharge period, specify the projected maximum daily
discharge volume. (See example below.)
NOTE: The chart below is included as an example only. You may create a similar table or use a different format, provided it
includes the requested information.
Exhibit D is required for sites with known groundwater or sediment contamination:
D. Description of contamination sources and chemical characteristics. Attach a summary (preferably in table format) of all
available groundwater and/or sediment quality data. Indicate groundwater and/or sediment sample locations on the site plan
(Exhibit A).
