La Fortuna Phase III Page 1 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
SECTION I – PROJECT OVERVIEW
General Description:
The current phase of the proposed La Fortuna Townhomes project includes the
construction of three multi-story townhome buildings, totally twelve additional units, on
a partially developed 4.51 acre site. The proposed project includes associated parking
areas and development of several open space areas. Included in the project are landscape
and street lighting improvements, as well as associated storm drainage and utility
improvements for the proposed residential buildings. Existing improvements including
the private access drive and water and sewer mains were installed previously with the
first phase of the La Fortuna Townhomes project. The project site is located on 173th Ave
SE – a private road, south of SE 172nd St and north of SE Petrovisky Rd in the City of
Renton, WA. See Figure 1 for Vicinity Map.
The proposed project has been designed to meet the requirements of the 2017 City of
Renton Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM). A summary of the project data is
provided in the TIR worksheet (see Figure 2).
Site Soils:
Per the project geotechnical report, prepared by South Sound Geotechnical Consulting,
and dated July 31, 2019, fill was discovered at all geotechnical borings to an approximate
depth of 3 ft. Below the fill layer, native soils consist of silty sand with gravel and
occasional cobbles. Per the geotechnical report, it is “medium dense condition below the
surface soils and graded dense at shallow depth. This soil is interpreted to be glacial till
and continued to the termination depth of the test pits.” For more information, see the
geotechnical report included in Appendix J.
Predeveloped Conditions:
The overall project site is partially developed from a previous phase of the La Fortuna
Townhomes project. The existing site conditions of the current phase – totaling 1.14
acres – consists of mostly stripped, cleared, and graded land. For the purposes of storm
drainage modelling, the existing site condition is forested.
The project site consists of one Threshold Discharge Area which is defined by the City of
Renton Surface Water Design Manual as: “an onsite area draining to a single natural
discharge location, or multiple natural discharge locations that combine within one-
quarter –mile downstream.”
The existing land coverage of the project site is presented in the table below. The
downstream path of stormwater runoff is described in the offsite analysis in Section III.

Developed Conditions:
The proposed developed condition includes three townhome buildings; paved parking
areas; pedestrian walkways; and associated storm drainage, utility, and landscape
improvements. The following table quantifies the areas of the proposed land coverage
for the Habitat La Fortuna Phase III project. Proposed site areas are shown visually in

The existing site topography will not be dramatically altered in the proposed condition.
In general, the site will continue to drain from north to the southwest to the existing
wetland.
The proposed improvements within the project site described above and delineated in
Table 2 trigger both flow control and water quality mitigation per the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual.
Stormwater runoff will be collected by roof drains, catch basins, and area drains. Per
Core Requirement #4 of the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual, the
proposed conveyance system will be designed to convey runoff resulting from the peak
rates resulting from the 25-year storm event.
The proposed storm drainage design for La Fortuna Phase III consists of three separate
mitigation methods for portions of the proposed site. A detention tank is proposed under
the east parking lot and which will discharge to the existing wetland west of the project
site. The central parking lot will use full dispersion into the existing native vegetation
onsite as well as wetland areas to mitigate for both flow control and water quality
requirements. Bioretention cells will treat stormwater and help attenuate flows from
stormwater runoff in the northwest and eastern parking lots. See Section IV for a detailed
description of the design of the flow control and water quality facilities.

SECTION II – CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
The proposed project is subject to a Full Drainage Review per the 2017 City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual and is therefore subject to all nine core requirements and
all six special requirements. These requirements are listed below along with a discussion
of their applicability to this project. See Appendix E for drainage review type flow chart.
Core Requirements:
Req. #1 Discharge at Natural Location:
Existing discharge locations will be maintained; existing site runoff flows to
existing onsite wetlands on the southwest portion of the site which eventually
drain from the property to the south, entering the Soos Creek Basin.
Req. #2 Offsite Analysis:
See Section III below.
Req. #3 Flow Control:
The project is required to meet the Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested
Condition).
The proposed improvements exceed the threshold of 5,000 sf of new and replaced
impervious surface, therefore triggering the requirement of a flow control facility
and on-site flow control BMPs.
Onsite BMPs are also required as part of the project and are discussed below in
Core Requirement #9.
For further details see Section IV.
Req. #4 Conveyance System:
The new conveyance system has been designed to convey the 25-year peak flow
from the developed site conditions. Conveyance calculations are included with
this submittal for each of the separate onsite basins.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 8 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Req. #5 Erosion and Sediment Control:
Construction erosion and sediment control systems are included with this
submittal and are shown on the TESC Plan.
Req. #6 Maintenance and Operations:
A Declaration of Covenant is required for this project for the maintenance and
operation of the proposed onsite storm drainage facilities and on-site stormwater
BMPs. A draft of the Declaration of Covenant is provided in Appendix G. The
proposed facilities will be owned and maintained by Habitat For Humanity. An
Operations and Maintenance Manual is included in Appendix H.
Req. #7 Financial Guarantees:
A financial guarantee will be necessary for this project. Bonding will be required
for the construction of improvements and will be obtained prior to construction.
Req. #8 Water Quality:
The proposed improvements located on the project site exceed 5,000 sf of new
and replaced Pollution-Generating Impervious Surface (PGIS), therefore
triggering the requirement of a water quality facility.
Based on the proposed site usage, multi-family housing, Enhanced Basic Water
Quality treatment is required per Core Requirement #8 of the 2017 City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual for targeted PGIS.
Bioretention cells are proposed to provide water quality treatment of targeted
pollution-generating impervious surfaces in the proposed parking lots (Basins A
& C)
Additionally, the central parking lot (Basin B) is mitigated via full dispersion of
stormwater into native vegetative area. The use of full dispersion allows the new
pollution-generating impervious surfaces to no longer be considered a targeted
surface for Core Requirement #8.
For further details see Section IV.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 9 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Req. #9 On-Site BMPs:
The proposed improvements exceed the threshold of 5,000 sf of new and replaced
impervious surface, therefore triggering the requirements of Core Requirement #9
to implement on-site flow control facilities to the maximum extent feasible.
Following the City of Renton SWDM required list method for Large Lots
implementing on-site BMPs (C1.3.2) to comply with Core Requirement #9, all
onsite BMPs were considered per the list approach in the SWDM.
Full dispersion is being utilized for a portion of the site to mitigate for new
targeted surfaces. Additionally, although not on-site BMPs, two bioretention cells
are proposed to mitigate additional areas of new targeted surfaces.
For further details see Section IV.
Special Requirements:
Req. #1 Area Specific Requirements:
No known area specific requirements.
Req. #2: Floodplain/Floodway Delineation
This project is not adjacent to any floodplains or floodways. Therefore no
delineation is necessary.
Req. #3 Flood Protection Facilities:
This project is not adjacent to any applicable areas and will not affect any
applicable facility.
Req. #4 Source Controls:
This project is a multi-family project and will provide appropriate source controls
per King County recommendations for multi-family projects including
containment and proper storage of chemicals and structural measures to prevent
the release of pollutants to waterways. The proposed trash enclosure drains to a
separate catch basin with a downturn elbow to capture oils and the outlet drains to
the sanitary sewer.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 10 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Req. #5 Oil Control:
No oil control requirements are applicable to this project.
Req. #6 Aquifer Protection Area
The proposed project site is not located within an Aquifer Protection Area.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 11 Project No. 19006

SECTION III – OFFSITE ANALYSIS
Task 1 – Study Area Definition and Maps
Maps of the project site and surrounding area were obtained from the King County GIS
website. Topographical site information is from the topographical survey for the project.
Storm drainage system maps were compiled from City of Renton GIS maps and as-built
plans. Aerial images were obtained from Google Earth.
The downstream analysis is further illustrated and detailed in the Downstream Map and
Downstream Table. The downstream area was evaluated by reviewing available
resources, and by conducting field reconnaissance.
The downstream analysis began at Point “A” on the map located approximately 90 feet to
the east of the southwesterly most corner of the Site. The runoff leaves the Site as
southerly flow and is collected in a detention tank located in the southwestern corner of
the Site. The outlet of this tank drains to the wetland located to the east of the Site and at
Point “B” on the map.
This wetland is approximately 270 ft. by 700 ft. and drains south for 480 ft. into two 42”
culverts located at Point “C.” These culverts are equipped with debris racks and run
beneath Petrovitsky Rd. with a length of 106 ft until reaching a channel located at Point
“D.”
This channel is approximately 88 ft. wide and flows 328 ft. until it reaches a much larger
wetland located south of the Site. The offsite analysis was ended at Point “C” due to the
inaccessibility of the channel south of Petrovitsky Rd. due to private property on both
sides of the channel.
Task 2 – Resource Review
The City of Renton Public Works Department was contacted regarding the resources
listed in section 2.3.1.1 of the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The
following is a summary of the resource review:
Adopted Basin Plans
o City of Renton Basin Name: Soos Creek
Basin Reconnaissance Summary Reports
o None completed to our knowledge.
Floodplain/Floodway (FEMA) Maps
o The site is not within a floodplain or floodway per FEMA mapping.
Other Offsite Analysis Reports
o The previous Technical Information Report for the project site -- which
was partially developed in 2004 -- was reviewed and referenced in the
current project design.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 12 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map
o There are three mapped wetlands located on the project site.
USDA Soils Survey
o A geotechnical investigation report has been completed and site soils are
primarily medium dense sand with silt that was underlain by impermeable
glacial till soil.
Wetlands Inventory Maps
o There are three mapped wetlands on the project site to the west of the
construction limits which the proposed project stormwater discharges to.
The wetland boundaries were recently inspected and re-delineated by a
wetland biologist. The Wetland Delineation Report is provided in
Appendix J.
o There are two wetlands located within one mile downstream of the project
site.
Soos Creek Wetland No. 13-B: located approximately 1/8th mile
downstream from project site.
Soos Creek Wetland No. 2: located approximately ¾ mile
downstream from project site.
Task 3 – Field Inspection
A site visit was conducted on January 28, 2020 by Coterra Engineering from 10:00 a.m.
to 12:00 p.m. for the purpose of analyzing the project site and its upstream and
downstream corridors. The weather conditions were overcast with a temperature of 52
degrees Fahrenheit and light sprinkling throughout the visit.
The following is a summary of a full Level 1 downstream analysis performed for civil
construction permit submittal.
1. The project site lies to the east and southeast of the existing residential structures.
The current site discharges to the detention facility located in the southwestern
corner of the site which then discharges to the wetland located the west of the site.
2. During wet weather, it was observed that runoff from land located east of the site
was flowing onto the project site. Drains behind the proposed retaining wall along
the eastern property line of the project site are proposed to intercept and mitigate
any offsite run-on.
3. There were no signs of significant destruction of habitat or organisms.
It was noted that there have been 4 drainage complaints associated with the downstream
system, but in consultation with Mike Sippo, City of Renton Development Review
Engineer, the drainage complaints were not applicable due to the age of the complaints
being older than 10 years ago.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 13 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Task 4 – Drainage System Description and Problem Description
There are no known problems with the downstream system.
Task 5 – Mitigation of Existing or Potential Problems
Based on the requirements for the design of the proposed drainage systems, no negative
impacts to the systems downstream of the project site are anticipated.
Existing Upslope Drainage Areas
Although some visible amount of surface runoff was observed from the adjacent upslope
property during the field visit, it is not considered to be a significant source of upslope
run-on. The proposed retaining wall design at the eastern property line includes drains to
intercept upslope flow.

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Flow Control
The project site is located in the Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Conditions)
area per the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The proposed
improvements will create more than 2,000 SF of new plus replaced imperious surfaces,
therefore the project is required to meet the flow control durations standard and
implement on-site flow control BMPs.
The existing onsite detention vault has been analyzed to determine excess storage
capacity and utilized with this excess capacity for the detention of runoff from the three
proposed townhome buildings basin (Townhome Basin). The existing vault was sized to
accommodate the full build out of the project site including the impervious surfaces
(buildings) that were not constructed during Phase I of the development. See further
discussion and analysis of the existing on-site detention vault below.
MGS Flood stormwater modeling program – utilizing a continuous hydrologic model –
was implemented to size and analyze proposed detention facilities which are required to
match the existing site condition (forested) flow duration from ½ the 2 year flow through
the 50 year duration flow standard.
Flow control mitigation to meet the Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested) for
targeted surfaces on the project site are summarized below (see Figure 5 – Developed
Site Map):
Basin B – Central Parking Area
This is a targeted surface for both flow control and water quality, totaling approximately
4618 SF of asphalt parking lot in the center portion of the site (see Figure 5). Located
directly adjacent to the wetland buffer and a vegetative area, this targeted impervious
surface is proposed to be mitigated for flow control and water quality requirements by
full dispersion from a gravel-filled trench located just southwest of the sub-basin. Runoff
in the basin is collected in a catch basin and tight-lined to the 50 LF gravel-filled trench
per City of Renton SWDM standards for dispersion devices. Runoff is dispersed by the
trench over a 50’ area and then disperses flowing down existing native vegetation and
through the mapped wetland buffer as allowed by City of Renton SWDM.
Per SWDM C2.1.5, a 50 LF gravel-filled trench with 100’ flowpath length can mitigate
up to 5,000 SF of targeted impervious surface area. Based on the tributary area of
impervious surface draining to the proposed dispersion trench, this BMP successfully
provides full dispersion of the new impervious area in Basin B. By implementing full
dispersion, the new impervious surfaces in Basin are no longer considered targeted
surface for flow control and water quality requirements.

As required by the SWDM for full dispersion implementation and targeted surface area
credit, an onsite area of native vegetation – calculated at a minimum of 6.66x the
impervious surface area mitigated by the full dispersion – must be delineated and
recorded by easement or covenant to remain as native vegetation area. Project surveyor
will provide native vegetation easement for review and recording to City of Renton as
required.
Basin C – East Parking Area and Playground
Runoff targeted for flow control from Basin C is mitigated by a detention tank located
under the asphalt parking lot. The detained and mitigated stormwater from the detention
tank in Basin C is conveyed west under the central site parking area and outfalls at the
edge of the delineated buffer of Wetland B with appropriate rock outfall protection.d
Based on the MGS Flood analysis, 2,553 cubic feet of storage is required to detain the
runoff from the east parking lot and future playground area in Basin C. The project
proposes a detention tank consisting of 135 LF of 5’ diameter pipe. The proposed
detention tank was designed per the City of Renton SWDM requirements including 0.5’
sediment storage (dead storage). The proposed tank details are shown on the Storm
Drainage Plan and Civil Details sheets. The MGS Flood calculations are included in
Appendix B of this report.
Townhouse Basin and Basin A – Northwest Parking Area
Runoff from the proposed townhome buildings and associated yard areas along with
treated runoff from Basin A, located at the northwest corner of the project, will be
collected by catch basins, area drains, and downspouts and routed via tightline pipe to the
existing detention vault at the far southwest of the La Fortuna site.
The existing detention vault was designed and constructed during the first phase of the
Habitat for Humanity La Fortuna development. It was designed to mitigate for flow
control and water quality requirements for the full build-out of the 4.51 acre site. Only a
portion of the site was built out in the initial phase of construction.
Based on review and analysis of the original stormwater design and Technical
Information Report, prepared by D.R. Strong Consulting Engineers, Inc. in 2004 – it was
determined that the existing detention vault has additional live storage capacity for a
portion of the flow control mitigation of this project. Routing the stormwater runoff from
the Townhouse Basin and Basin A to the existing vault and flow control structure will
provide sufficient storage capacity to meet the flow control duration standard that is
required per the City of Renton SWDM for the new targeted areas on the La Fortuna
Phase III project.
Basin A was originally bypass area in the 2004 storm drainage design and discharged to
Wetland B instead of the onsite detention vault. Because Basin A was originally
considered bypass area, the proposed developed surfaces in Basin A for the current
project phase is considered to be previously mitigated and are not included in the Phase
III mitigation calculations.

La Fortuna Phase I was originally designed and permitted in 2004 and 2005 under King
County jurisdiction and following the stormwater code from the 1998 King County
Surface Water Design Manual. Required flow control mitigation at the time required
matching of the 2-year and 10-year developed condition peak flow rates to the pre-
developed flows of the same intervals. Existing land cover surfaces, which was primarily
till pasture on the site, were considered the pre-developed condition for stormwater
modeling purposes, per the 1998 manual.
Based on the amount of the Phase I site which was developed originally in the first phase,
as shown in Table 3 above and on Figure 4, the required detention volume to meet the
flow control requirement was calculated using MGS Flood. That volume, 9,149 cubic
feet of detention storage, is shown above. See Appendix B for additional calculations.
For the current phase of the project, the additional proposed targeted areas of impervious
and pervious surfaces were calculated and are shown above in Table 3 and on Figure 5.
As the rest of the proposed project areas were already mitigated with other stormwater
BMPs, only the Townhouse Basin needed to be routed and detained in the existing
detention vault. Following the current stormwater code in the City of Renton, the
required detention volume to meet the flow control duration standard was calculated for
the additional area flowing to the existing detention vault. Per the 2017 SWDM, the
existing site condition for detention calculations was assumed to be forested.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 18 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
The required volume to mitigate the flow control requirement for the Townhouse Basin
was calculated in MGS Flood using a duration analysis and was determined to be 8,713
cubic feet of storage capacity. As shown above in Table 3, the required detention storage
volume for flow control mitigation of both Phase I and Phase III is 17,862 cubic feet –
which is less than the existing detention vault capacity of 19,400 cubic feet per D.R.
Strong’s 2008 TIR addendum.
The existing on-site detention vault has sufficient capacity to detain the required
developed site flows and meet the performance standards for the developed site areas as
designed and constructed in Phase I and Phase III.
Detention vault sizing calculations are provided in Appendix B. The original project TIR
including details of the existing detention vault design are provided in Appendix J.
On-Site Flow Control BMPs
The proposed site is classified as a Large Lot BMP Site as the proposed site is over
22,000 SF. Implementation of On-Site Flow Control BMPs is therefore required per
Core Requirement #9.
On-site BMPs are evaluated for targeted surfaces, per the list from section 1.2.9.2.2 for
Large Lot BMP Projects in the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual.
Analysis of feasibility of the on-site BMPs from the SWDM list follow in order per
SWDM feasibility determination instructions.
Full Dispersion: Feasible. The targeted new impervious surface from the central
parking lot – shown as Basin B in Figure 5, Propose Site Areas — is mitigated by full
dispersion to the adjacent native vegetative area and wetland to the west of the
proposed development area of the project site. Utilizing full dispersion decreases the
overall area of targeted surfaces for required stormwater mitigation. Sizing
calculations for the dispersion trench are included in Appendix B.
Full Infiltration: Infeasible. Per Minimum Design Requirements for Full Infiltration
in section C.2.2.2, existing soils must be “coarse sands or cobbles or medium sands.”
Soils collected in on-site borings per geotechnical report prepared South Sound
Geotechnical Consulting dated 7/31/2019, are classified as “silty sand with gravel and
occasional cobbles.” This soil was interpreted by the geotechnical engineer as glacial
till. These soils were found at a depth of typical on-site infiltration facilities or
infiltration BMPs.
Limited Infiltration: Infeasible. As described above, the geotechnical investigation
has determined that the project site is underlain by glacial till and “Infiltration to
assist in stormwater control is not considered feasible at this site. The dense glacial
till at shallow depth will create a barrier to vertical groundwater flow.”
La Fortuna Phase III Page 19 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
Bioretention: Infeasible as an Onsite BMP. Bioretention is proposed to mitigate
runoff from PGIS parking areas in the propose project.
Permeable Pavement: Infeasible. Permeable concrete pavement is not proposed on the
project site due to poorly-infiltrating site soils.
Basic Dispersion:
o Splash blocks: Infeasible. Required 50’ vegetated flow path from proposed
structures is infeasible based on proposed site design. Required flow path
length for basic dispersion could be routed within wetland buffer but
splash blocks only used for roof downspouts. Project is not proposing
structures adjacent to wetland buffer area.
o Rock pads: Infeasible. Required 50’ vegetated flow path is infeasible
based on proposed site design. Required flow path length for basic
dispersion could be routed within wetland buffer but rock pads generally
used to mitigate roof downspout runoff. No applicable for proposed site
design.
o Gravel-filled trenches: Feasible. Basic dispersion by gravel-filled trench is
proposed for runoff from central parking lot and associated hardscape
(Basin B). Runoff disperse via gravel-filled trench per COR requires to the
native vegetation in the wetland buffer and wetland to the west.
o Sheet flow: Infeasible. Required 10’ vegetated flow path located on the
project property is infeasible based on proposed site design.
Soil Amendment: Feasible. New and replaced pervious surfaces within the project
limits will implement soil amendment per the soil quality and depth requirements of
section C2.13.
Following the list to for applying onsite BMPs for a Large Lot Site per the City of Renton
SWDM, the proposed project is applying stormwater BMPs to the maximum extent
feasible for this site containing non-infiltrating glacial till and a significant amount of
wetlands.
Water Quality
The proposed new and replaced pollution-generating impervious surfaces (PGIS) on the
project site trigger the requirement for water quality treatment of targeted surfaces. Per
the City of Renton SWDM, the project site is within the Basic Water Quality Area; but
the proposed site land use of multi-family housing triggers the Enhanced Basic Water
Quality Menu.
The proposed project will provide mitigation of targeted PGIS using bioretention cells to
provide water quality treatment meeting the Enhanced Basic requirement and meeting the
91% volume standard per Minimum Requirement #9 of the SWDM. All proposed PGIS
in the current phase of development that is not fully dispersed is treated via bioretention.
La Fortuna Phase III Page 20 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
As described previously, the targeted impervious surfaces in the central parking lot
(Basin B) – which are considered pollution-generating – are being mitigated for both
flow control and water quality requirements through the use of full dispersion of runoff to
the protected native vegetation directly to the west and continuing into the existing
wetland buffer. By meeting all the requirements for full dispersion, the new PGIS
surfaces in Basin B are no longer considered targeted surfaces for flow control or water
quality treatment requirements.
Area summary of the project’s proposed PGIS surfaces and proposed bioretention areas is
below. Full water quality calculations for bioretention cells are provided in Appendix C.
All proposed bioretention cells are 3:1 side slopes and 6” of ponding depth.
Basin A – Northwest Parking Area
Targeted PGIS Area: 2120 SF (0.05ac)
Bioretention Cell Min. Required Bottom Area: 24 SF

SECTION V – CONVEYANCE SYSTEM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS
The new conveyance system has been designed to convey at least the 25-year peak flow
rate from the developed site. Conveyance capacity calculations are provided for each
onsite conveyance basin.
SECTION VI – SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES
A geotechnical analysis of the project site was performed and is included in Appendix J.
Additionally, the geotechnical engineer has provided a supplemental Retaining Wall
Design memo for use on the project site. That is also included in Appendix J. An updated
Wetland Delineation Report was prepared for the onsite wetlands and is located in
Appendix J.
SECTION VII – OTHER PERMITS
In addition to the Site Plan Review, a Civil Construction Permit from the City of Renton
is required. The proposed project will disturb more than 1 acre, therefore an NPDES
permit from the Washington State DOE for the discharge of construction stormwater
from the project site is required. As development on the project site has been phased over
several years, an active NPDES permit has already been obtained by Habitat for
Humanity. Owner will apply to renew NPDES permit coverage as necessary to complete
proposed La Fortuna Phase III construction.
SECTION VIII – EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
ESC Measures are being addressed as follows:
Clearing Limits: Clearing limits are being delineated by perimeter silt fencing and
chain link fencing.
Cover Measures: 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). Any area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall
be seeded or sodded, unless the City of Renton determines that winter weather
makes vegetation establishment infeasible.
Perimeter Protection: Perimeter protection will be implemented by silt fencing
around the site perimeter where drainage paths require.
Traffic Area Stabilization: A stabilized construction entrance will be built for
construction traffic.
Sediment Retention: Catch basin protection will be provided on all drainage inlets
on, adjacent to, and downstream of the project site. Additionally, three sediment
La Fortuna Phase III Page 22 Project No. 19006
Renton, WA Coterra Engineering PLLC
traps are shown on the TESC plan to collect runoff during grading via interceptor
swales and route to sediment traps to prevent the discharge of sediment-laden
water to adjacent properties or the wetlands onsite. Sediment trap sizing
calculations per SWDM standards are provided in Appendix I.
Surface Water Control: Surface water will be collected and conveyed via swales
with check dams as necessary.
Dust Control: Dust control, if required, will be provided through the limited use
of water trucks.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill Control (SWPPS)
Because the development of the Habitat La Fortuna site has occurred in phases
over several years, the current project site area is mostly developed with utility
infrastructure and paved access roads and sidewalks previously constructed.
Proposed grading on the project just includes minor grading for building pads and
regrading for proposed parking areas. Contractor shall install and maintain BMPs
during construction to prevent the tracking of sediments offsite and spread of
sediment-laden water. BMPs will include stabilized construction entrance(s) and
tire wash stations as needed to control tracking of sediments off the project site.
Proposed grading work will be performed in the summer months and building
pads establish and foundations poured prior to the end of the Dry Season in Fall
2020. Final restoration of cleared and disturbed areas will be per landscape plan.
As required by the NPDES permit obtained for the project site from Washington
State DOE, the contractor will prepare and implement a final CSWPP for the
project.

SECTION IX – BOND QUANTITIES AND DECLARATION OF COVENANTS
A bond quantity worksheet for the proposed improvements is included with this civil
construction permit submittal.
There are two Declaration of Covenants which are required for the proposed project; one
for inspection and maintenance of proposed stormwater facilities; and one for the
inspection and maintenance of the proposed on-site BMPs. A draft version of these
Declaration of Covenants will be provided for review and approval by City of Renton
prior to recording. They will be signed and notarized prior to recording.
SECTION X – OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
An operation and maintenance manual which outlines required regular maintenance
necessary for the proposed stormwater facilities is provided. The Operations &
Maintenance Manual is provided in Appendix H.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BIORETENTION CELL
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “bioretention,” which was
installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts on both the impervious (paved or
roof) and pervious surfaces (lawn or landscape) on your property.
Bioretention cells, like rain gardens, are vegetated closed depressions or ponds that retain and filter
stormwater from an area of impervious surface or nonnative pervious surface. Bioretention cells rely
on effective infiltration performance more so than rain gardens. The soil in the bioretention cell has been enhanced to encourage and support vigorous plant growth that serves to filter the water and
sustain a minimum infiltration capacity. Depending on soil conditions, bioretention cells may have water in them throughout the wet season and may overflow during major storm events. However, standing water can also be an indicator that periodic maintenance is required to sustain infiltrative
performance. This on-site BMP shall be maintained per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, and design of the rain garden as depicted by the site plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a
future development permit from the City of Renton. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Bioretention cells must be inspected annually for physical defects and sediment accumulation.
• Bioretention cells have inflow and overflow inlets and outlets. These need to be maintained to ensure that water is moving into and out of the bioretention area. Check inlets/outlets for debris/sediment blockage, bare spots (exposed soil), or other signs of erosion damage (soil
movement). Remove debris and obstructions as necessary.
• After major storm events, the bioretention cell should be checked to see that the overflow
system is working properly and sedimentation is not occurring at the inlet. If erosion damage
or bare spots are evident, they should be stabilized with soil, plant material, mulch, or landscape rock. Sediment deposits should be carefully removed and the sediment source
eliminated.
• Plants must be adapted to wet winter conditions and dry summer conditions. Vegetation is to
be watered and pruned as needed.
• Frequent watering is required to keep the plants healthy:
o Year 1: weekly,
o Year 2: bimonthly,
o Year 3: bimonthly,
o Year 4 and beyond: as needed for established plantings and dry periods.
• Chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
• Bioretention soil must be replaced in areas where sediment accumulation is preventing
adequate infiltration of water through the soil.
• Compacted soil should be decompacted.
• Trash and debris must be removed often from the bioretention depression.
• Mulch must be applied to bare soil at a minimum of 2 inches to maintain healthy growth.
• Compost may be added if soil nutrients are no longer adequate to support plant growth.
• Plant materials may be changed to suit tastes.
• Vegetation should be maintained as follows:
1) Replace all dead vegetation as soon as possible;
2) Remove fallen leaves and debris as needed;
3) Remove all noxious vegetation when discovered;
4) Manually weed without herbicides or pesticides;
5) To protect infiltration performance, do not compact soils in the bioretention cell with heavy maintenance equipment and/or excessive foot traffic;
6) During drought conditions, use mulch to prevent excess solar damage and water loss.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These bioretention on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an
attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and
operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual
website for additional information and updates.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL DISPERSION
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “full dispersion.”
Full dispersion is a strategy for minimizing the area disturbed by development (i.e., impervious or nonnative pervious surfaces, such as concrete areas, roofs, and lawns) relative to native vegetated areas (e.g., forested surface) together with the application of dispersion techniques that utilize the natural
capacity of the native vegetated areas to mitigate the stormwater runoff quantity and quality impacts of the developed surfaces.
This on-site BMP has two primary components that must be maintained per Appendix A of the City of
Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual:
(1) the devices that disperse runoff from the developed surfaces, and
(2) the native vegetated area and flowpath receiving the dispersed runoff.
Dispersion Devices
The dispersion devices used on your property include the following as indicated on the site
plan (CHECK THE BOX(ES) THAT APPLY):
splash blocks, rock pads, gravel filled trenches, sheet flow.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, composition, and downstream flowpaths of these devices as depicted by the site
plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Dispersion Devices
• Dispersion devices must be inspected annually and after major storm events to identify and repair any physical defects.
• When native soil is exposed or erosion channels are present, the sources of the erosion or
concentrated flow need to be identified and mitigated.
• Bare spots should be re-vegetated with native vegetation.
• Concentrated flow can be mitigated by leveling the edge of the pervious area and/or regrading
or replenishing the rock in the dispersion device, such as in rock pads and gravel-filled
trenches.
Native Growth Retention Area
• The native vegetated surface required for full dispersion is delineated as a “native growth retention area” on the on-site BMP site plan. The trees, vegetation, ground cover, and soil
conditions in this area may not be disturbed, except as allowed by the following provisions for
that portion of the native growth retention area outside of critical areas and critical area buffers:
1. Individual trees that have a structural defect due to disease or other defects, and which
threaten to damage a structure, road, parking area, utility, or place of employment or
public assembly, or block emergency access, may be topped, pruned, or removed as needed to eliminate the threat.
2. Dead or fallen trees, tree limbs within ten feet of the ground, and branches overhanging a residence may be removed to reduce the danger of wildfire.
3. Noxious weeds (i.e., plant species listed on the State noxious weed list in Chapter 16-750 WAC) and invasive vegetation (i.e., plant species listed as obnoxious weeds on the noxious weed list adopted by King County) may be removed.
4. Passive recreation uses and related facilities, including pedestrian, equestrian community and bicycle trails, nature viewing areas, fishing and camping areas, and other similar uses that do not require permanent structures, are allowed if clearing and soil compaction associated with these uses and facilities does not exceed eight percent of the native growth retention area.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These full dispersion on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional
instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual
website for additional information and updates.
TYPICAL FULL DISPERSION APPLICATIONS
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOIL AMENDMENT
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “soil amendment,” which
was installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the pervious
surfaces on your property.
Soil amendment is a method of regaining greater stormwater functions in the post development
landscape by increasing treatment of pollutants and sediments, and minimizing the need for some
landscaping chemicals. To be successful, the soil condition must be able to soak water into the ground for a reasonable number of years. This on-site BMP shall be maintained per Appendix A of the City of
Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, and composition of these devices as depicted by the site plan and design details
must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
To be successful, the soil must be able to soak water into the ground for a reasonable number of years.
• Return leaf fall and shredded woody materials from the landscape to the site when possible in order to replenish soil nutrients and structure.
• On turf areas, “grasscycle” (mulch-mow or leave the clippings) to build turf health.
• Maintain 2 to 3 inches of mulch over bare areas in landscape beds.
• Re-seed bare turf areas until the vegetation fully covers the ground surface.
• Avoid using pesticides (bug and weed killers) which damage the soil.
• Where fertilization is needed (mainly turf and annual flower beds), a moderate fertilization program should be used which relies on compost, natural fertilizers, or slow-release synthetic balanced fertilizers.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an attachment to the
required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the
City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These
instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual website for additional information and updates.

Attention: Mr. Brett VanSlyke
Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Report
LaFortuna Development
127th Avenue E.
Renton, Washington
SSGC Project No. 19061
Mr. VanSlyke,
South Sound Geotechnical Consulting (SSGC) has completed a geotechnical assessment for the above
referenced project. Our services have been completed in general conformance with our proposal P19056
(dated June 13, 2019) and authorized per signature of our services agreement. Our evaluation included
completion of four test pits on the property, engineering analyses, and preparation of this report.
PROJECT INFORMATION
Three town-house buildings are planned on the property, located near the looped portion of 127th Street
SE, south of SE 172nd Street. Conventional spread footing foundations will be used for support of the
structures, with concrete slab-on-grade floors.
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is characterized with west-facing sloping ground in the eastern portion, with relatively level
ground in the western portion. Overall elevation change across the site is on the order of 24 (+/-) feet.
The upper eastern site is covered with grass. The western portions are used for equipment storage and
construction offices. It appears that cuts on the east side of 127th Street SE were completed for the road
and have resulted in steeper cut slopes in this area.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions were characterized by completing four test pits on the site on July 9, 2019. Test
pits were advanced to final depths between about 3.5 and 5 feet below existing ground surface.
Approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Figure 1, Exploration Plan. Logs of the test pits are
provided in Appendix A. A summary description of observed subgrade conditions is provided below.

Soil Conditions
Fill was observed below the surface in two of the test pits (TP-1 and TP-2). Fill at the TP-1
location was crushed gravel for a working surface and on the order of 6 inches thick. Fill at the
TP-2 location consisted of mixed silt, sand, and gravel in a loose condition. This fill extended to
about 3 feet. An approximate 6 inch topsoil layer was at the surface of the remaining test pits.
Native soil below the fill (or topsoil) was silty sand with gravel and occasional cobbles. It was
generally in a medium dense condition below the surface soils and graded dense at shallow depth.
This soil is interpreted to be glacial till and continued to the termination depth of the test pits.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was not observed in the test pits at the time of excavation. Dense glacial till is
considered impermeable to vertical groundwater flow and can cause perched groundwater
conditions, particularly during the wetter seasons of the year. Wetlands are west of the site on
lower elevated ground. Groundwater levels should be anticipated to fluctuate due to seasonal
precipitation variations and on- and off-site drainage patterns.
Geologic Setting
Soils within the project area have been classified by the NRCS Soil Survey. Site soils are
mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. Alderwood soils reportedly formed in glacial till.
Native soils in the excavations appear to conform to the mapped soil type.
GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Planned development of this site is considered feasible based on observed soil conditions in the test pits.
Properly prepared native soils can be used for support of conventional spread footing foundations and
pavements. Daylight basement structures are anticipated for buildings on the east side of 127th Avenue
SE where grades rise to the east from street elevation.
Infiltration to assist in stormwater control is not considered feasible at this site. The dense glacial till at
shallow depth will create a barrier to vertical groundwater flow.
Recommendations presented in the following sections should be considered general and may require
modifications when earthwork and grading occur. They are based upon the subsurface conditions
observed in the test pits and the assumption that finish site grades will be similar to existing grades. It
should be noted subsurface conditions across the site may vary from those depicted on the exploration
logs and can change with time, especially on sites with previous development. Therefore, proper site
preparation will depend upon the weather and soil conditions encountered at the time of construction. We
recommend SSGC review final plans and further assess subgrade conditions at the time of construction,
as warranted.

General Site Preparation
Site grading and earthwork should include procedures to control surface water runoff. Grading the site
without adequate drainage control measures may negatively impact site soils, resulting in increased export
of impacted soil and import of fill materials, potentially increasing the cost of the earthwork and subgrade
preparation phases of the project.
Site grading should include removal (stripping) of topsoil and fill or very loose or soft soils encountered
in building and pavement areas. Subgrades should consist of firm, undisturbed native till following
stripping. Stripping depths in the area of test pit TP-2 may approach 4 feet (or more), but can only be
determined at the time of construction. Shallower stripping depths are expected over most of the
remaining site.
General Subgrade Preparation
Subgrades in building footprints and pavement areas should consist of firm, undisturbed native soil. We
recommend exposed subgrades in building and conventional pavement areas are proofrolled using a large
roller, loaded dump truck, or other mechanical equipment to assess subgrade conditions following
stripping. Proofrolling efforts should result in the upper 1 foot of subgrade soils in building and
conventional pavement areas achieving a compaction level of at least 95 percent of the maximum dry
density (MDD) per the ASTM D1557 test method. Wet, loose, or soft subgrades that cannot achieve this
compaction level should be removed (over-excavated) and replaced with structural fill. The depth of
over-excavation should be based on soil conditions at the time of construction. A representative of SSGC
should be present to assess subgrade conditions during proofrolling.
Grading and Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the
development. Allowing surface water into cut or fill areas, utility trenches and building footprints should
be prevented. Temporary and permanent drainage systems should prevent stormwater from flowing onto
the steeper south-facing slope.
Structural Fill Materials
The suitability of soil for use as structural fill will depend on the gradation and moisture content of the
soil when it is placed. Soils with higher fines content (soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) will
become sensitive with higher moisture content. It is often difficult to achieve adequate compaction if soil
moisture is outside of optimum ranges for soils that contain more than about 5 percent fines.
Geotechnical Engineering Report SSGC
LaFortuna Development
127th Avenue SE
Renton, Washington
SSGC Project No. 19061

Site Soils: Topsoil and observed fill are not considered suitable as structural fill. They could be
used in non-structural areas, such as lawns. Native glacial till could be suitable for use as
structural fill provided it can be moisture conditioned to within optimal ranges. Till can have
considerable fine (silt) content and therefore will be moisture sensitive and difficult to use as
structural fill if wet. Optimum moisture is considered within about +/- 2 percent of the moisture
content required to achieve the maximum dry density (MDD) per the ASTM D-1557 test method.
If moisture content is higher or lower than optimum, soils would need to be dried or wetted prior
to placement as structural fill.
Import Fill Materials: We recommend import structural fill placed during dry weather consist of
material which meets the specifications for Gravel Borrow as described in Section 9-03.14(1) of
the 2018 Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Specifications for Road,
Bridge, and Municipal Construction (Publication M 41-10). Gravel Borrow should be protected
from disturbance if exposed to wet conditions after placement.
During wet weather, or for backfill on wet subgrades, import soil suitable for compaction in
wetter conditions should be provided. Imported fill for use in wet conditions should conform to
specifications for Select Borrow as described in Section 9-03.14(2), or Crushed Surfacing per
Section 9-03.9(3) of the 2018 WSDOT M-41 manual, with the modification that a maximum of 5
percent by weight shall pass the U.S. No. 200 sieve for these soil types.
Structural fill placement and compaction is weather-dependent. Delays due to inclement weather
are common, even when using select granular fill. We recommend site grading and earthwork be
scheduled for the drier months of the year. Structural fill should not consist of frozen material.
Structural Fill Placement
We recommend structural fill is placed in lifts not exceeding about 10 inches in loose measure. It may be
necessary to adjust lift thickness based on site and fill conditions during placement and compaction. Finer
grained soil used as structural fill and/or lighter weight compaction equipment may require significantly
thinner lifts to attain required compaction levels. Granular soil with lower fines contents could potentially
be placed in thicker lifts if they can be adequately compacted. Structural fill should be compacted to
attain the recommended levels presented in Table 1, Compaction Criteria.

Table 1. Compaction Criteria
Fill Application Compaction Criteria*
Footing areas 95 %
Upper 2 feet in pavement areas, slabs and sidewalks, and utility trenches 95 %
Below 2 feet in pavement areas, slabs and sidewalks, and utility trenches 92 %
Utility trenches or general fill outside of paved or building areas 90 %
*Per the ASTM D 1557 test method.
Trench backfill within about 2 feet of utility lines should not be over-compacted to reduce the risk of
damage to the line. In some instances the top of the utility line may be within 2 feet of the surface.
Backfill in these circumstances should be compacted to a firm and unyielding condition.
We recommend fill procedures include maintaining grades that promote drainage and do not allow
ponding of water within the fill area. The contractor should protect compacted fill subgrades from
disturbance during wet weather. In the event of rain during structural fill placement, the exposed fill
surface should be allowed to dry prior to placement of additional fill. Alternatively, the wet soil can be
removed. We recommend consideration is given to protecting haul routes and other high traffic areas
with free-draining granular fill material (i.e. sand and gravel containing less than 5 percent fines) or
quarry spalls to reduce the potential for disturbance to the subgrade during inclement weather.
Structural or embankment fill placed on slopes should be benched into firm (dense) native glacial till.
Benches should be excavated level (or with a slight incline into the hillside). Benches should be a
maximum of 2 feet high and wide enough to accommodate a conventional vibratory smooth-drum roller
capable of compacting fill to at least 95 percent of the MDD per the ASTM D 1557 test method.
Earthwork Procedures
Conventional earthmoving equipment should be suitable for earthwork at this site. Earthwork may be
difficult during periods of wet weather or if elevated soil moisture is present. Excavated site soils may
not be suitable as structural fill depending on the soil moisture content and weather conditions at the
time of earthwork. If soils are stockpiled and wet weather is anticipated, the stockpile should be
protected with securely anchored plastic sheeting. If stockpiled soils become wet and unusable, it will
become necessary to import clean, granular soils to complete wet weather site work.
Wet or disturbed subgrade soils should be over-excavated to expose firm, non-yielding, non-organic soils
and backfilled with compacted structural fill. We recommend the earthwork portion of this project be
completed during extended periods of dry weather. If earthwork is completed during the wet season
(typically October through May) it may be necessary to take extra measures to protect subgrade soils.

If earthwork takes place during freezing conditions, we recommend the exposed subgrade is allowed to
thaw and re-compacted prior to placing subsequent lifts of structural fill. Alternatively, the frozen soil
can be removed to unfrozen soil and replaced with structural fill.
The contractor is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations (including
utility trenches) as required to maintain stability of excavation sides and bottoms. Excavations should be
sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local and federal regulations, including current OSHA
excavation and trench safety standards. Temporary excavation cuts should be sloped at inclinations of
1H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical) or flatter, unless the contractor can demonstrate the safety of steeper cut
slopes. Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined at 2H:1V, or flatter. Erosion control measures
should be implemented on all temporary and permanent cut or fill slopes immediately after grading.
A qualified geotechnical engineer and materials testing firm should be retained during the construction
phase of the project to observe earthwork operations and to perform necessary tests and observations
during subgrade preparation, placement and compaction of structural fill, and backfilling of excavations.
Foundations
Foundations can be placed on native glacial till or on a zone of structural fill above prepared native
subgrades as described in this report. The following recommendations are for conventional spread
footing foundations:
Bearing Capacity (net allowable): 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf) for footings
supported on firm native till subgrades or structural fill
prepared as described in this report.
Footing Width (Minimum): 16 inches (Strip)
24 inches (Column)
Embedment Depth (Minimum): 18 inches (Exterior)
12 inches (Interior)
Settlement: Total: < 1 inch
Differential: < 1/2 inch (over 30 feet)
Allowable Lateral Passive Resistance: 325 psf/ft* (below 12 inches)
Allowable Coefficient of Friction: 0.40*
*These values include a factor of safety of approximately 1.5.

LaFortuna Development
127th Avenue SE
Renton, Washington
SSGC Project No. 19061

The net allowable bearing pressures presented above may be increased by one-third to resist transient,
dynamic loads such as wind or seismic forces. Lateral resistance to footings should be ignored in the
upper 12-inches from exterior finish grade.
Foundation Construction Considerations
All foundation subgrades should be free of water and loose soil prior to placing concrete, and
should be prepared as recommended in this report. Concrete should be placed soon after
excavating and compaction to reduce disturbance to bearing soils. Should soils at foundation
level become excessively dry, disturbed, saturated, or frozen, the affected soil should be removed
prior to placing concrete. We recommend SSGC observe all foundation subgrades prior to
placement of concrete.
Foundation Drainage
Ground surface adjacent foundations should be sloped away to facilitate drainage. We recommend
footing drains are installed around perimeter footings. Footing drains should include a minimum 4-
inch diameter perforated rigid plastic or metal drain line installed along the exterior base of the
footing. The perforated drain lines should be connected to a tight line pipe that discharges to an
approved storm drain receptor. The drain line should be surrounded by a zone of clean, free-draining
granular material having less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve or meeting the requirements of
section 9-03.12(2) “Gravel Backfill for Walls” in the 2018 WSDOT (M41-10) manual. The free-
draining aggregate zone should be at least 12 inches wide and wrapped in filter fabric. The granular
fill should extend to within 6 inches of final grade where it should be capped with compacted fill
containing sufficient fines to reduce infiltration of surface water into the footing drains. Alternately,
the ground surface can be paved with asphalt or concrete. Cleanouts are recommended for
maintenance of the drain system.
On-Grade Floor Slabs
On-grade floor slabs should be placed on native soils or structural fill prepared as described in this report.
We recommend a modulus subgrade reaction of 200 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) for upper
native soil or compacted granular structural fill over properly prepared native soil. An increased subgrade
reaction of 250 (psi/in) can be used for slabs placed on dense glacial till.
We recommend a capillary break is provided between the prepared subgrade and bottom of slab.
Capillary break material should be a minimum of 4 inches thick and consist of compacted clean, free-
draining, well graded course sand and gravel. The capillary break material should contain less than 5
percent fines, based on that soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 sieve. Alternatively, a clean angular
gravel such as No. 7 aggregate per Section 9-03.1(4) C of the 2018 WSDOT (M41-10) manual could be
used for this purpose.

We recommend positive separations and/or isolation joints are provided between slabs and foundations,
and columns or utility lines to allow independent movement where needed. Backfill in interior trenches
beneath slabs should be compacted in accordance with recommendations presented in this report.
A vapor retarder should be considered beneath concrete slabs that will be covered with moisture sensitive
or impervious coverings (such as tile, wood, etc.), or when the slab will support equipment or stored
materials sensitive to moisture. We recommend the slab designer refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for
procedures and limitations regarding the use and placement of vapor retarders.
Lateral Earth Pressures
Below grade and retaining walls will be subject to lateral earth pressures. Subgrade walls are typically
designed for “active” or “at-rest” earth pressure conditions. Active earth pressure is commonly used for
design of free-standing cantilever retaining walls and assumes lateral movement at the top of the wall of
around 0.002H to 0.004H, where H is the height of the wall. The at-rest condition assumes no wall
movement.
The following recommended earth pressures (Table 2) should be applied as a triangular distribution
starting at the top of the wall (for active and at-rest) and bottom of wall (for passive) and assume:
Backfill behind walls is level and no surcharge loads will be applied;
Drainage is provided behind the wall to prevent the development of hydrostatic pressures.
Table 2. Lateral Earth Pressures
Soil Type Earth Pressure

Pressure (pcf)*

Active: 0.28
At-rest: 0.44
Passive: 3.50
Active: 30
At-rest: 45
Passive: 350
* A factor of safety of about 1.5 should be applied to these values.
Additional lateral pressure should be added to these values to model surcharges such as sloped backfill,
traffic, construction, or seismic loads. We recommend an active seismic pressure of 4H psf (where H is
the height of the subgrade wall) and an at-rest seismic pressure of 7H. The effects of other surcharge
loads should be accounted for as appropriate.

Wall Backfill
Backfill behind the drainage zone should consist of granular material that satisfies the criteria of
Section 9-03.12(2) “Gravel Backfill for Walls” per the 2018 WSDOT (M 41-10) manual, or as
approved by the engineer.
Backfill should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches and compacted with hand-operated
compaction equipment. Compaction of wall backfill should be between 90 to 92 percent of the
maximum dry density (MDD) per the ASTM D1557 test method within 3 feet of the back of the
wall to limit additional lateral pressures. At a distance greater than 3 feet behind the back of the
wall, backfill can be compacted using conventional rollers, with backfill compacted to at least 92
percent of the MDD.
Seismic Considerations
Seismic parameters and values in Table 3 are based on the 2015 International Building Code (IBC).

Liquefaction
Soil liquefaction is a condition where loose, typically granular soils located below the
groundwater surface lose strength during ground shaking, and is often associated with
earthquakes. The King County “Liquefaction Susceptibility” map (Map 11-5) shows the property
in an area with low susceptibility to liquefaction. Native soils at fairly shallow depth consists of
dense to very dense glacial till. The risk of liquefaction at this site is considered low for the
design level earthquake.

Infiltration Characteristics
Infiltration to control stormwater is not considered feasible at this site due to the presence of dense glacial
till at shallow depths. Assessment of infiltration rates using small-scale Pilot Infiltration Test (PIT)
procedures in similar soils in the area have shown negligible infiltration during the soak period of the test.
Other detention/retention facilities will be required to control stormwater runoff at this site.
Critical Areas
Site slopes with heights of 10 feet or more have average inclinations between about 15 to 20 percent
based on topographic information on the “Boundary and Topographic Survey” of the site completed by
4Site Surveying and Consulting, dated April 3, 2019. The site is not identified on the City of Renton GIS
Landslide Hazard Severity map.
Test pits on the site and geologic/soil maps indicate underlying native soils that comprise site slopes
consist of glacial till. Slopes comprised of dense glacial till with inclinations of less than 20 percent are
generally considered stable and not subject to significant movement. Evidence of recent or historic
landslides was not observed on site slopes. We are unaware of any known deeper seated landslides within
300 feet of the site. The proposed development will not adversely impact site or neighboring slopes, in
our opinion.

Field Exploration Procedures
Our field exploration for this project included four test pits completed on July 9, 2019. The approximate
locations of the explorations are shown on Figure 1, Exploration Plan. The exploration locations were
determined by pacing from site features. Ground surface elevations referenced on the logs were inferred
from Google Earth satellite imagery. Exploration locations and elevations should be considered accurate
only to the degree implied by the means and methods used.
A client provided excavator dug the test pits. Soil samples were collected and stored in moisture tight
containers for further assessment and laboratory testing. Explorations were backfilled with excavated
soils and tamped when completed. Please note that backfill in the explorations will likely settle with
time. Backfill material located in building areas should be re-excavated and recompacted, or replaced
with structural fill.
The following logs indicate the observed lithology of soils and other materials observed in the
explorations at the time of excavation. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our log
indicates the average contact depth. Our logs also indicate the approximate depth to groundwater (where
observed at the time of excavation), along with sample numbers and approximate sample depths. Soil
descriptions on the logs are based on the Unified Soil Classification System.

Subject: Ultrablock Retaining Wall Design
LaFortuna Development
127th Avenue E.
Renton, Washington
SSGC Project No. 19061
Mr. VanSlyke,
South Sound Geotechnical Consulting (SSGC) has completed designs for Ultrablock gravity block walls
for the LaFortuna Development. We understand the City of Renton requires individual walls have a
maximum exposed height of 6 feet. Based on information provided to us, wall heights of up to 10 feet
will be needed in the northeast portion of the site. Therefore a tiered (terraced) wall system will be
needed to maintain the city’s maximum height requirement for taller walls.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Subgrade/Foundation Preparation
Subgrades for wall foundations should consist of firm, undisturbed native glacial till or
structural fill placed on firm native subgrades.
Foundation excavations should extend deep enough to allow a minimum embedment
depth of at least 1 foot for Ultrablock walls.
We recommend a minimum 6 inch thick leveling pad of well-graded sand and gravel (e.g.
base course) is placed on the prepared subgrade prior to Ultrablock placement. This pad
should extend at least 6 inches beyond the edges of the blocks and be compacted to a firm
condition.
Wall Drainage
Drainage should be provided behind all retaining walls to reduce the potential for hydrostatic
pressure developing against the wall. We recommend a minimum 4-inch diameter perforated rigid
plastic drain line is installed behind the base of the wall. The invert of the drain line should be placed
near the base of the lowest block. The drain line should be sloped to provide positive flow to an
approved storm drain receptor. The drain line should be encased in a minimum 12-inch wide zone of
clean, free-draining granular material having less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve or meeting

the requirements of Section 9-03.12(2) “Gravel Backfill for Walls” in the 2018 WSDOT (M41-10)
manual, or as approved by the engineer. This drainage zone should extend to within 1 foot of the
top of the wall and capped by a low permeable soil. Cleanouts are recommended for maintenance of
the drain system. A filter/separation fabric such as Mirafi 140N should be used between the drainage
material and native cut or structural fill soils to limit the potential of siltation in the drain system.
Ultrablock Walls
Lateral earth pressures presented in our geotechnical engineering report for this project (dated July 31,
2019) were used in the designs of Ultrablock walls. Our analyses also used the following design
parameters:
Maximum exposed height of any individual walls is 6 feet (10 feet maximum tiered
wall);
Standard Ultrablock (H = 2.5 ft, W = 2.5 ft)
An embedment depth of 1 foot;
Separation of at least 2 feet behind lower and upper walls;
Level backfill behind walls;
Seismic acceleration of 0.2g;
Ground surface in front of walls is level;
NCMA 2009 analyses used for design.
A schematic for an exposed 10 feet tiered wall system is attached. Block layouts for Ultrablock walls
having exposed wall heights of 4 and 6 feet are included in Appendix A. Shorter walls (or walls not
requiring tiered configuration) can be designed using the appropriate height design. Cap blocks can be
substituted for standard blocks on the upper layer to minimize block “stick up” for shorter (or in-between)
wall heights.
REPORT CONDITIONS
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Habitat for Humanity and their agents for specific
application to the wall designs discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices in the area. No warranties, either express or implied, are intended or
made. Should site conditions at the time of construction vary from those discussed in our July 2019 report
the conclusions and designs contained herein shall not be considered valid unless SSGC reviews the new
information and either verifies or modifies the designs in writing.

Re: Renton La Fortuna Townhome Property, Wetland Delineation
Report
The Watershed Company Reference Number: 180810
Dear Kelly:
On August 21, 2018, ecologists Sam Payne and Logan Dougherty, visited the La Fortuna
Townhome Property in Renton, Washington (parcel #3956210000) to screen for
jurisdictional wetland and streams within a defined study area. This letter summarizes
the findings of the study and details applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The
following documents are enclosed:
• Proposed Site Plan
• Proposed Drainage Plan

Characterization of climatic conditions for precipitation was determined using the
WETS table methodology from the USDA NRCS document Part 650 Engineering Field
Handbook, National Engineering Handbook, Hydrology Tools for Wetland Identification and
Analysis, Chapter 19 (September 2015). The Seattle-Tacoma International AP station as
recorded by NOAA from 1981-2010 (http://agacis.rcc-acis.org/) was used as a source for
precipitation data. The WETS table methodology uses climate data from the three
months prior to the site visit month to determine if normal conditions are present.
Wetlands
The study area was evaluated for wetlands using methodology from the Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains,
Valleys, and Coast Region Version 2.0 (Regional Supplement) (US Army Corps of
Engineers [Corps] May 2010). Wetland boundaries were determined on the basis of an
examination of vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Areas meeting the criteria set forth in
the Regional Supplement were determined to be wetland. Soil, vegetation, and
hydrologic parameters were sampled at several locations along the wetland boundary to
make the determination.
Identified wetlands within the property were classified using the 2014 Update to the
Western Washington Wetland Rating System (Publication #14-06-029) (Rating System).
Streams
The study area was evaluated for streams based on the presence or absence of an
ordinary high water mark (OHWM) as defined by the Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) 90.58.030 and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 220-660-030. The
OHWM edge was located by examining the bed and bank physical characteristics and
vegetation, using recent guidance from the Department of Ecology, Determining the
Ordinary High Water Mark for Shoreline Management Act Compliance in Washington State
(Publication no. 16-06-029).

WETLAND A – Assessment Summary
Description and Comments
Wetland A is a large forested wetland that drains to the south to an even larger wetland complex associated with Soos creek that is located south of SE Petrovitsky Road. Numerous stormwater pipes, culverts, and ditches flow into the wetland, likely providing much of the wetland hydrology. A ditched stormwater outlet draining into the wetland from the southern area of the parcel was not included in the wetland area because it is an intentionally constructed stormwater feature created from a non-wetland site.

Description and Comments
Wetland C located entirely offsite and not confirmed. It includes an area of hydrophytic emergent vegetation.
Stormwater Features
A recently excavated feature identified as a “filter / spreader” on site mitigation plans
meets wetland criteria for hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology.
However, it is clearly man-made stormwater feature and does not meet the Renton
definition of a regulated wetland. According to RMC 4-3-050(B)(1), regulated wetlands
do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites.
Non-wetland areas
Areas outside of identified wetlands did not meet criteria for hydrophytic vegetation,
hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. A wetland buffer enhancement has resulted in the
establishment of wetland plants in the buffers of Wetland A and Wetland B, however,
these areas exhibited neither hydric soil nor wetland hydrology indicators.
One area between the stormwater outfall and Wetland A exhibits the three-parameter
test for wetland. However, this area is not jurisdictional because it is an intentionally
constructed stormwater feature created from a non-wetland site
Streams
The property lacked any watermarks, stained leaves, algae, bed, bank, or hydraulically
sorted sediments. Based on these findings, there are no jurisdictional streams on the
property.
A stream can be seen on aerial photography connecting Wetland A, offsite to the Soos
Creek wetland complex to the south.
Local Regulations
Wetland buffers in the City of Renton are determined by a combination of the wetland
category and habitat score, as determined by the wetland rating system. Wetland A is a
Category II wetland with a habitat score of 6 and therefore requires a standard buffer of
100 feet. Wetland B rated as Category III with a habitat score of 4 and therefore requires
Wetland Delineation Report
Habitat for Humanity
September 10, 2018, Revised February 6, 2020
Page 8
a standard buffer of 50 feet. Wetland C, if verified, also rated as Category III with a
habitat score of 4, and would require a buffer of 50 feet. An additional 15-foot structure
setback is required beyond the limit of each buffer.
According to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Critical Areas Regulations 4-3-050B.g, sites
that are separated from critical areas by pre-existing, lawfully created intervening
lots/parcels, roads, or other substantial infrastructure shall not be regulated as a critical
area buffer. This applies to features that separate the subject property from the critical
area due to their height or width and substantially prevent delivery of all or most
functions from the subject upland property to the critical area. As a legally established
roadway that provides access to multi-family residential development, 127th Ave SE acts
as one such functional break. Additionally, areas north of 127th Ave SE have been
cleared, graded, and maintained as gravel platforms since approximately 2007, and do
not add any function to the wetland buffer. The compact, gravel conditions do not allow
for notable infiltration that reduces surface flow volumes and velocities, and the lack of
vegetation precludes the ability of the area to trap and filter pollutants and sediments.
The unvegetated condition of the areas north of 127th provide virtually no habitat
functions for wildlife; there are no forage or cover opportunities available. Therefore, in
accordance with RMC 4-3-050B.g, the Wetland A and Wetland B buffers do not extend
beyond 127th Ave SE.
Stormwater Infrastructure
Under RMC 4-3-050C.3.9, surface water discharges in the form of dispersion trenches,
outfalls, and bioswales are allowed in the outer 25 percent of Category III and IV
wetland buffers, provided the discharge meets the requirements of RMC 4-6-030; no
other location is feasible; and it will not degrade the functions or values of the wetland.
The bioretention facility and flow control structure proposed under the Phase II plan of
La Fortuna homes are both will be located outside the buffers associated with Wetlands
A and B. However, a stormwater outfall and a stormwater flow path are proposed
within wetland buffers in accordance with the above exemption.
Stormwater discharge is proposed at two locations within wetland buffers. A gravel-
filled dispersion trench is proposed adjacent but outside of the wetland buffer area.
Runoff from the proposed “central” parking area will discharge via dispersion through
minimum 100-foot flow path of native vegetation between Wetlands A and B. Neither
the 100-foot dispersion flow path nor the dispersion trench is located within wetland
areas; however, portions of the flow path are located within a wetland buffer. Discharge
would flow through the vegetated buffer downgradient (westward) from the dispersion
trench and towards Wetland A. By spreading the discharge evenly over a wide area, the
proposed dispersion trench will ensure that channelization and erosion do not occur in
the buffer. The flow will continue through a densely vegetated buffer prior to reaching
Wetland Delineation Report
Habitat for Humanity
September 10, 2018, Revised February 6, 2020
Page 9
Wetland A, which will further slow any outflows from the dispersion trench. The
stormwater dispersion is designed in accordance with required full dispersion
implementation under Section C2.1 of the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual.
With these precautions, little to no impact on the critical area or its buffer will occur with
these proposed stormwater infrastructure improvements.
Stormwater runoff from proposed “east” parking area is collected via catch basin and
routed to the bioretention facility, which provides enhanced water quality treatment per
City of Renton stormwater manual requirements. This treated runoff is then routed into
five-foot diameter pipe under the parking area, which is a detention tank, providing
flow control per Renton stormwater manual requirements. Detained and treated
stormwater runoff would be released from detention facility at flow rates matching pre-
existing site conditions to a discharge pipe that would route runoff to a proposed outfall
location in the outer 25 percent of the buffer for Wetland B, a Category III wetland. The
discharge is designed to meet all requirements of RMC 4-6-030. Any incidental,
construction-related vegetation removal within the Wetland B buffer would be restored
in kind. Given the flow control, treatment, and dissipation, adverse impacts to Wetland
B and its buffer are not anticipated.
It is not feasible to route either of the above stormwater discharges to the existing storm
drainage outfall location at the southwest corner of the project site. Routing the storm
drainage discharge pipe around existing structures (buildings, storm vault) and
improvements would result in more than 170 feet of additional storm drainage
conveyance pipe, which would have to be located in the buffers of both Wetlands A and
B. Not only would this lengthy connection to the existing outfall location add significant
cost to the project for the additional material cost of pipe, but complicated trenching
through sloping topography bordering the wetlands, and significant native vegetation
impacts to clear the required trenching alignment and associated layback area on each
side of the trench. The required routing to connect to the existing storm drainage outfall
at the southwest corner of the site would have significant and detrimental impacts to the
native vegetation within the wetland buffers. Additionally, the routing to the existing
storm drainage outfall would require trenching for the storm piping on the downslope
side of the proposed dispersion trench and would have significant impacts on the native
vegetation within the dispersion area between wetlands A and B.
None of the proposed improvements will result in any loss of wetland or buffer area or
functions, and no adverse impacts are anticipated. Therefore, compensatory mitigation
is not necessary to achieve no net loss of critical area and/or buffer functions. By
achieving no net loss and maintaining compliance with the allowed provisions under
RMC 4-3-050C.9, the proposed stormwater conveyances are exempt. A letter of
exemption from the City, which states that the dispersion and outfall within buffers is
Wetland Delineation Report
Habitat for Humanity
September 10, 2018, Revised February 6, 2020
Page 10
exempt from critical areas regulations, may be required for the dispersion flow path and
outfall that are planned within the wetland buffers.
State and Federal Regulations
Wetlands and streams are regulated by the Corps under section 404 of the Clean Water
Act. Any proposed filling or other direct impacts to Waters of the U.S., including
wetlands (except isolated wetlands), would require notification and permits from the
Corps. Unavoidable impacts are typically required to be compensated through
implementation of an approved mitigation plan.
Federally permitted actions that could affect endangered species may also require a
biological assessment study and consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Compliance with the Endangered Species
Act must be demonstrated for activities within jurisdictional wetlands and the 100-year
floodplain. Application for Corps permits may also require an individual 401 Water
Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Consistency determination from
Ecology and a cultural resource study in accordance with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
Washington Department of Ecology
Similar to the Corps, Ecology, under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, is charged with
reviewing, conditioning, and approving or denying certain federally permitted actions
that result in discharges to state waters. However, Ecology review would only become
necessary if a Section 404 permit from the Corps was issued. Therefore, if filling
activities are avoided, authorization from Ecology would not be needed.
If filling is proposed, a JARPA could be submitted to Ecology in order to obtain a Section
401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) and Coastal Zone Management Consistency
Determination. Ecology permits are either issued concurrently with the Corps permit or
within 90 days following the Corps permit.
In general, neither the Corps nor Ecology or WDFW regulates wetland and stream
buffers, unless direct impacts are proposed. When direct impacts are proposed,
mitigated wetlands and streams may be required to employ buffers based on Corps and
Ecology joint regulatory guidance. It is our understanding, based on the project plans,
that no direct wetland or stream impacts are proposed. Therefore, state and federal
permitting will not be required for the planned site development.

HGM Classification of Wetlands in Western Washington
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods?
☒NO – go to 2 ☐YES – the wetland class is Tidal Fringe – go to 1.1
1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
NO – Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES – Freshwater Tidal Fringe
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it
is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to
score functions for estuarine wetlands.
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater
and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit.
☒NO – go to 3 ☐YES – The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size;
☐At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m).
☒NO – go to 4 ☐YES – The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe)
4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual),
☐The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from
seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks,
☐The water leaves the wetland without being impounded.
☒NO – go to 5 ☐YES – The wetland class is Slope
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft
deep).
5. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that
stream or river,
☐The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years.
For questions 1‐7, the criteria described must apply to the entire unit being rated.
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you
probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in
questions 1‐7 apply, and go to Question 8.
Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update
Rating Form – Effective January 1, 2015 4
Wetland name or number: Wetland A
☒NO – go to 6 ☐YES – The wetland class is Riverine
NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not
flooding
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the
surface, at some time during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior
of the wetland.
☐NO – go to 7 ☒YES – The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank
flooding? The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be
maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural
outlet.
☐NO – go to 8 ☐YES – The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM
classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small
stream within a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY
WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1‐7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the
appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within the
wetland unit being scored.
NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or
more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2
is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the
total area.
HGM classes within the wetland unit

Depressional + Riverine along stream
within boundary of depression

Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other
class of freshwater wetland
Treat as
ESTUARINE
If you are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or if you have
more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the
rating.

HGM Classification of Wetlands in Western Washington
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods?
☒NO – go to 2 ☐YES – the wetland class is Tidal Fringe – go to 1.1
1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
NO – Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES – Freshwater Tidal Fringe
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it
is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to
score functions for estuarine wetlands.
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater
and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit.
☒NO – go to 3 ☐YES – The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size;
☐At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m).
☒NO – go to 4 ☐YES – The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe)
4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual),
☐The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from
seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks,
☐The water leaves the wetland without being impounded.
☒NO – go to 5 ☐YES – The wetland class is Slope
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft
deep).
5. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that
stream or river,
☐The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years.
For questions 1‐7, the criteria described must apply to the entire unit being rated.
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you
probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in
questions 1‐7 apply, and go to Question 8.

Rating Form – Effective January 1, 2015 4
Wetland name or number: Wetland B
☒NO – go to 6 ☐YES – The wetland class is Riverine
NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not
flooding
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the
surface, at some time during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior
of the wetland.
☐NO – go to 7 ☒YES – The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank
flooding? The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be
maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural
outlet.
☐NO – go to 8 ☐YES – The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM
classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small
stream within a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY
WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1‐7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the
appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within the
wetland unit being scored.
NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or
more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2
is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the
total area.

HGM Classification of Wetlands in Western Washington
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods?
☒NO – go to 2 ☐YES – the wetland class is Tidal Fringe – go to 1.1
1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
NO – Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES – Freshwater Tidal Fringe
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it
is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to
score functions for estuarine wetlands.
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater
and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit.
☒NO – go to 3 ☐YES – The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size;
☐At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m).
☒NO – go to 4 ☐YES – The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe)
4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual),
☐The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from
seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks,
☐The water leaves the wetland without being impounded.
☒NO – go to 5 ☐YES – The wetland class is Slope
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft
deep).
5. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria?
☐The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that
stream or river,
☐The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years.
For questions 1‐7, the criteria described must apply to the entire unit being rated.
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you
probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in
questions 1‐7 apply, and go to Question 8.
Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update
Rating Form – Effective January 1, 2015 4
Wetland name or number: Wetland
☒NO – go to 6 ☐YES – The wetland class is Riverine
NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not
flooding
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the
surface, at some time during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior
of the wetland.
☐NO – go to 7 ☒YES – The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank
flooding? The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be
maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural
outlet.
☐NO – go to 8 ☐YES – The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM
classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small
stream within a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY
WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1‐7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the
appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within the
wetland unit being scored.
NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or
more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2
is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the
total area.

☐ Old‐growth forests (west of Cascade crest): Stands of at least two tree species, forming a multi‐layered
canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/ac (20 trees/ha) that are at least 200 years of
age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 in (81 cm) or more.
☐ Mature forests (west of the Cascade Crest): Stands where the largest trees are 80‐ 200 years old OR
the species that make up the canopy have an average diameter (dbh) exceeding 21 in (53 cm).
☐Yes = Category I ☒No = Not a forested wetland for this section
Cat. I
SC 5.0. Wetlands in Coastal Lagoons
Does the wetland meet all of the following criteria of a wetland in a coastal lagoon?
☐ The wetland lies in a depression adjacent to marine waters that is wholly or partially separated
from marine waters by sandbanks, gravel banks, shingle, or, less frequently, rocks
☐ The lagoon in which the wetland is located contains ponded water that is saline or brackish (> 0.5
ppt) during most of the year in at least a portion of the lagoon (needs to be measured near the
bottom)
☐Yes – Go to SC 5.1 ☒No = Not a wetland in a coastal lagoon
SC 5.1. Does the wetland meet all of the following three conditions?
☐ The wetland is relatively undisturbed (has no diking, ditching, filling, cultivation, grazing), and has
less than 20% cover of aggressive, opportunistic plant species (see list of species on p. 100).
☐ At least ¾ of the landward edge of the wetland has a 100 ft buffer of shrub, forest, or un‐grazed or
un‐ mowed grassland. ☐ The wetland is larger than 1/10 ac (4350 ft2) ☐Yes = Category I ☐No = Category II
Cat. I
Cat. II
SC 6.0. Interdunal Wetlands
Is the wetland west of the 1889 line (also called the Western Boundary of Upland Ownership or WBUO)? If
you answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on its habitat functions.
In practical terms that means the following geographic areas:
☐ Long Beach Peninsula: Lands west of SR 103
☐ Grayland‐Westport: Lands west of SR 105
☐ Ocean Shores‐Copalis: Lands west of SR 115 and SR 109
☐Yes – Go to SC 6.1 ☒No = not an interdunal wetland for rating
SC 6.1. Is the wetland 1 ac or larger and scores an 8 or 9 for the habitat functions on the form (rates H,H,H or H,H,M
for the three aspects of function)? ☐Yes = Category I ☐No – Go to SC 6.2
SC 6.2. Is the wetland 1 ac or larger, or is it in a mosaic of wetlands that is 1 ac or larger?
☐Yes = Category II ☐No – Go to SC 6.3
SC 6.3. Is the unit between 0.1 and 1 ac, or is it in a mosaic of wetlands that is between 0.1 and 1 ac?
☐Yes = Category III ☐No = Category IV
