PROJECT OVERVIEW
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Project Overview
The Weston North project proposes the construction of 6 single family lots (1 existing single family
residence to remain with 5 new lots) on two existing parcels totaling approximately 2.47 acres. Frontage
improvements along both Nile Ave NE and NE 7th Pl, as well utility connections to the site are also
proposed. The project occupies King County Tax Parcel Numbers 11230590002 and 947794TR-L, and is
situated in the southwest quarter of Section 11, Township 28 North, Range 5 East, W.M. More
specifically, the project is located on the east side of Nile Ave NE and south side of NE 7th Pl,
approximately 0.4 miles north of the intersection of Nile Ave and NE 4th Street. A vicinity map has been
provided as Figure 2 of this document.
A wetland is located in the southcentral region of the project. This wetland and its surrounding buffer will
remain undisturbed. As a result of these two separate projects, Weston North and Weston Heights,
predeveloped runoff will be directed away from the wetland in order to mitigate developed conditions. An
end goal of this project is to ensure the existing wetland hydroperiod is satisfied in the developed
condition.
The majority of land cover in the Weston North project limits has been developed. The western region
currently houses a single family residence, a detached Quonset hut, shed and garage. The surrounding
area features typical residential landscaping. The eastern region has been previously cleared of the
historic forested vegetation and is currently all grassed area with no tree canopy. The wetland and area
to the east of the wetland, outwards to the projects eastern border, remain forested. The topography of
the combined subject parcel slopes moderately from east to west, with the southcentral section sloping
inwards towards the wetland. The USDA Soil Survey for King county indicates that the site consists of
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, which is generally characterized as glacial till, with moderate runoff rates
and low capacity for infiltration.
Surface runoff will be detained through three separate facilities in order to avoid concentration of flows.
Surface runoff will be directed to combined detention ponds, and/or a detention vault. Flow control
structures are included to match the historic release rates. A flow spreader will service the Weston
Heights detention pond on the east, spreading flows overland and ultimately into the wetland. New storm
sewer infrastructure will convey storm water from the Weston Heights western detention vault to an
existing roadside ditch along the eastern edge of Nile Ave NE. The Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ flow control
structure will be reconfigured to satisfy the historic release rates. This meets the requirements for Full
Drainage Review, as described further in Section 4 of this report.

Technical Information Report
Conditions and Requirements Summary
The project proposes more than 2,000 square feet of new impervious surface area, and is subject to the
provisions for Full Drainage Review as outlined in the 2009 King County stormwater Design Manual
(KCSWDM). Full Drainage Review requires the accommodation of 8 core requirements in addition to 5
special requirements – all of which are listed and discussed below.
Core Requirement #1 – Discharge at Natural Location
The pre-developed drainage discharge locations will be maintained for post-developed
conditions. Drainage improvements consist of implementing additional storm sewer infrastructure
to utilize three separate facilities – the Weston Heights facility serving the eastern developments,
the Weston Heights facility serving the western developments, and the Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’
serving the NE 7th Pl frontage and impervious areas of Lots 2 and 3. The eastern detention
facility will discharge via level spreader into the existing wetland, maintaining the pre-developed
surface water discharge location. The western detention facility will discharge via a new
conveyance system into the existing roadside ditch along Nile Ave NE, maintaining the pre-
developed surface water discharge location. The northern detention facility will discharge via
improved conveyance system into the existing roadside ditch along Nile Ave NE, maintaining the
pre-developed surface water discharge location.
Core Requirement #2 – Offsite Analysis
A thorough off-site analysis is presented in Section 3 of this report.
Core Requirement #3 – Flow Control
Flow control of surface runoff for this site is provided via three detention facilities – the Weston
Heights facility serving the eastern developed area, the Weston Heights facility serving the
western developed area, and the Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ serving the northern developed areas.
Design calculations for these facility are contained in Section 4 of this report.
Core Requirement #4 – Conveyance System
Stormwater conveyance has been analyzed in Section 5 of this report.
Core Requirement #5 – Erosion & Sediment Control
An erosion and sediment control analysis has been provided in Section 8 of this report.
Core Requirement #6 – Maintenance & Operations
Maintenance and operations of the proposed storm drainage facilities is addressed in Section 10
of this report.
Core Requirement #7 – Financial Guarantees & Liabilities
Financial guarantees and liabilities are addressed in Section 9 of this report.
Core Requirement #8 – Water Quality
The two Weston Heights detention facilities, and Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ each house permanent
wetpools to allow for settling of solids that are suspended in the stormwater runoff. A discussion
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
of the design methodology and calculations for this feature are provided in Section 4 of this
document.
SUMMARY OF SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Special Requirement #1 – Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements
There are no adopted basin plans or area-specific requirements affecting Parcel’s 1123059002
and 947794TR-L. Therefore, the project is exempt from this requirement.
Special Requirement #2 – Flood Hazard Area Delineation
The project site and surrounding area is shown on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map No.
53033C0982, and is not located within a flood hazard area. Therefore, the project is exempt from
this requirement. A portion of the FEMA map referenced above is included in Appendix 3-B of
this report.
Special Requirement #3 – Flood Protection Facilities
The project neither relies on an existing flood protection facility, nor proposes a new flood
protection facility, and therefore, is exempt from this requirement.
Special Requirement #4 – Source Control
This project does not require a commercial building or commercial site development permit, and
therefore, is exempt from this requirement.
Special Requirement #5 – Oil Control
This project does not have high-use site characteristics as defined in KCSWDM Section 1.3.5,
and therefore, is exempt from this requirement.

OFFSITE ANALYSIS
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Task 1 – Study Area Definitions and Maps
The project’s study area includes the subject parcels, and a flow path extending approximately 1-mile
downstream of the site. An off-site analysis map has been included in Appendix 3A.
Task 2 – Resource Review
The following documents were reviewed, as prescribed by the 2009 King County Surface Water Design
Manual:
Adopted Basin Plans
There are no adopted basin plans which affect the subject property.
Floodplain/Floodway Maps
The project site and surrounding area is shown on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map No.
53033C0982, and is not located within a flood hazard area. Therefore, the project is exempt from
this requirement. A portion of the FEMA map referenced above is included in Appendix 3-B of
this report.
Sensitive Areas Folio Maps
The King County Sensitive Areas Folio Maps are outdated, and were not consulted for this
project. However, a search for other sensitive area documents was performed, and the site was
not to contain or be near a coal mine hazard area, erosion hazard area, steep slope, or landslide
hazard area. A wetland area occupies the southcentral portion of the site, but will remain
undisturbed by the project.
Drainage Complaints
No documented downstream drainage complaints were located. The preliminary technical
information report (prepared by others) also found no relevant drainage complaints.
Road Drainage Problems
No road drainage problems were located that would be impacted by the project.
USDA Soil Survey for King County
The USDA Soil Survey for King County indicates that the site is underlain by Alderwood soils,
which are generally characterized as a consolidated till, with moderate runoff rates and little
capacity for infiltration. A portion of the USDA Soil Survey map is included in Appendix 3B.
Wetlands Inventory Mapping
A wetland exists near the middle of the project site.
Migrating River Studies
No migrating river studies were located which affect the subject property.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
DOE 303(d) List of Polluted Waters
The DOE’s Water Quality Assessment Map tool does not identify any 303(d)-listed waterways in
the downstream flowpath within several miles of the site. The project is ultimately tributary to the
Cedar River, which is a 303(d) listed waterway at its discharge point to Lake Washington, but this
is a substantial distance from the site, and the flow contribution from the project site is expected
to be insignificant compared to the full capacity of the river at that point.
King County Designated Water Quality Problems
King County I-Map does not identify the project site as containing or being tributary to any
designated water quality problems.
Task 3 – Field Inspection
A Level 1 Downstream Analysis was prepared in the preliminary design phase by Core Design, and the
photos from that analysis have been provided in Appendix 3A. The project site and downstream flowpath
were visited on the afternoon of June 10, 2015 to verify the findings of that downstream analysis.
Conditions at the time of the visit were warm and sunny, with no significant precipitation having occurred
within the previous few days. No surface runoff was observed at the project site during the site visit.
The downstream flowpath for the west side of the project simply follows a road-side ditch which extends
southerly along the east side of Nile Ave NE. The ditch is primarily grassed, but has been stabilized with
quarry spalls in some locations, and contains a number of culvert crossings beneath various intersections
and driveways. The east half of the project falls to the central wetland area, then flows west where it is
intercepted by the public storm drainage system in Orcas Ave W. This storm system flows to NE 6th
Street, jogs westerly, and then discharges to the road-side ditch in Nile Ave NE.
Task 4 – Drainage System Description and Problem Description
The west half of the project generally falls toward the west, discharging to the road-side ditch along the
east side of Nile Ave NE. The east half of the project generally falls toward the west, and is collected in
the wetland area in the center of the project. Water from this wetland enters an overflow device just north
of Orcas Ave W, then is conveyed to the Nile Ave NE roadside ditch. There were no significant erosion or
sediment issues identified in the downstream system for the ¼-mile analysis distance.
Task 5 – Mitigation of Existing or Potential Problems
No significant hydraulic problems were observed at the project site or downstream. With routine
maintenance to keep debris clear of the ditch/culverts, the downstream system is expected to continue
functioning.

Level 1 Downstream Analysis
Field Investigation A field investigation was completed on May 21, 2014. The temperature was approximately 60 degrees
and sunny.
The existing site has two residences with gravel driveways and a detached garage. The western quarter of
the site is covered in lawn (surrounding the residences and garage) and the remaining site is forested with
a wetland in the center of the site. The wetland drains south and overflows into a 12-inch storm drain in the Edenwood Plat which continues south to NE 6th Street. From NE 6th Street, the 12-inch storm drain
flows west where it has a confluence with the drainage system on the east side of Nile Avenue NE. Overland flow from the west portion of the site drains west to Nile Avenue NE and drains south in series
of grass or rock lined ditches and culverts on the east side of the street. The open channels range from a depth of 1 foot and a width of 4 feet with rock lining on the north end of the site (Picture 1) to a vegetated
channel with a depth of 2 feet and width of 3 feet just below the project’s south property line. The ditch
and culvert section continues south on the east side of Nile Avenue NE until approximately 300 feet north of NE 4th Pl, where it drains into an 18-inch storm drain and flows south. This is the quarter mile point downstream of the site.
The City of Renton provides current storm water information online, using a GIS based system called
COR Maps. COR Maps provides information on the type of pipes, manholes and catch basins in the city.
Following the pipe flow direction from COR Maps, the 18-inch diameter concrete pipe crosses over to the west side of Nile Avenue just before it intersects with NE 4th street. The pipe then heads west down NE
4th street and crosses to the south side just before Jericho Avenue. The storm water pipe parallels Jericho
Avenue running through private property until NE 2nd street. Picture 10 shows the manhole as the pipe crosses from the east side of Jericho Avenue and heads south down the center line of the road. Flow
continues south until NE 1st street, where the 36-inch pipe heads west and discharges into Maplewood Creek.

FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Part A – Existing Site Hydrology
The project site runoff is contributory to the Weston Heights basins and the Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ basin.
This project utilizes the detention facilities constructed for those developments. The western portion of
the project is intercepted by Nile Ave NE. The eastern portion discharges to the central wetland area.
The central wetland area will be left undisturbed.
The majority of land cover in the Weston North project limits has been developed. The western region
currently houses a single family residence, a detached Quonset hut, shed and garage. The surrounding
area features typical residential landscaping. The eastern region has been previously cleared of the
historic forested vegetation and is currently all grassed area with no tree canopy. The wetland and area
to the east of the wetland, outwards to the projects eastern border, remain forested. The topography of
the combined subject parcel slopes moderately from east to west, with the southcentral section sloping
inwards towards the wetland. For purposes of the stormwater model, both basins are considered to be
forested in the historic condition, as prescribed by the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM).
Part B – Developed Site Hydrology
The project proposes 6 single family lots (1 lot to remain with 5 new lots proposed) with the associated
roadways and utilities. The 1 lot to remain will be undisturbed, but an interceptor ditch/swale will be
installed to collect surface runoff to distribute into the central wetland, thereby satisfying the hydroperiod.
The remaining 5 proposed lots (excluding the impervious areas for Lot 2 and Lot 3) will be collected and
mitigated by the east pond. The landscape/yard area in Lot 2 will be a bypass basin and will be mitigated
for by the west vault. The frontage improvements along Nile Ave NE will also be mitigated by the west
vault. The frontage improvements along NE 7th Pl will be mitigated by the Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’, to the
north. All three mitigation facilities downstream flow paths reconnect within ¼ mile of surface discharge.
Part C – Performance Standards
The project is subject to the “Conservation Flow Control” criteria outlined in Chapter 1 (Core Requirement
#3) of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This requires that the developed
discharge durations to predeveloped durations for the range of predeveloped discharge rates from 50% of
the 2-year peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow.
The project is subject to the “Basic Treatment” criteria outlined in Chapter 1 (Core Requirement #8). The
goal of this requirement is 80% removal of total suspended solids for a typical rainfall year.
Part D – Flow Control System
The Weston Heights flow control facilities and the Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ are utilized for this projects
separate basins (separate basins in one similar threshold discharge area). Flow control will be achieved
via an underground detention vault in the west basin, an open detention pond in the east basin, and an
open detention pond in the Olympus Villa development – Pond ‘A’, to the north. An equivalent area trade
has been utilized for a section of proposed target surface in Weston Heights that may not be feasibly
routed to the west underground detention vault. The equivalent area is the eastern side of crowned Nile
Ave NE roadway contributing offsite flow. This runoff will be collected in an underground conveyance
system and routed to the west underground detention vault. In addition to the equivalent area, the west
underground detention vault provides flow control for Weston Heights Lots 1-9. Weston North Lot 2
landscaping/yard area is not feasibly routed to the east pond, and there is not capacity in Olympus Villa
Pond ‘A’. Therefore, this area is considered bypass and is mitigated by oversizing the west underground
detention vault. The Olympus Villa LUA and as-built plans have been included in this report as
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Appendices 6B, and 6C, respectively. The Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ was constructed larger than designed,
thereby allowing this project’s utilization. The required detention volume of the original design was
36,042-CF. The constructed detention volume, as reported in the as-built plans, is 38,648-CF. This
project directs the frontage improvement area (sidewalk/roadway/planter area) along NE 7th Pl, as well as
the impervious areas of Lot 2 and Lot 3, to Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’. The ultimate discharge of Pond ‘A’ is
the same point as the discharge for the west underground detention vault. Lots 4, 5, and 6, as well as
Weston Heights Lots 10, 11, and 12 will be collected via underground conveyance and directed to the
east pond. Lot 3 landscape/yard area will also be collected and directed to the east pond. All facilities
have been designed using King County Runoff Time Series (KCRTS) stormwater runoff modeling
software. Refer to Appendix 4A for “Flow Control Design Calculations”.
Part E – Water Quality System
Basic treatment for all basins on this project will be provided via wetpool storage. The Weston Heights
project proposed a combined detention/treatment vault in the west basin. This vault will contain a
permanent wetpool in the bottom of the vault, and room for detention storage in the upper portion of the
vault. The Weston Heights project also proposed a combined detention/treatment pond in the east basin.
This facility will contain a permanent wetpool in the bottom of the pond, and room for detention storage in
the top portion of the pond. Olympus Villa Pond ‘A’ was constructed larger than designed. The required
water quality volume of the original design was 9,881-CF. The constructed water quality volume, as
reported in the as-built plans, is 15,479-CF. Refer to Appendix 4B for “Water Quality Design
Calculations”.
Part F – Wetland Hydrology
A wetland is located in the southcentral region of the project. This wetland and its surrounding 56.26-ft
buffer will remain undisturbed. This wetland area divides the Weston Heights development, immediately
south of Weston North, into two separate drainage basins. The separate drainage basins, named West
Basin and East Basin, are contained within one single threshold discharge area. The predeveloped
conditions would have runoff from the eastern most extents of the Weston North project, in addition to the
buffer area to the north and west, contributing flow to this wetland. The Weston Heights areas that
contribute flow to the wetland include the entire East basin and a portion of the West basin. As a result of
these two separate projects, Weston North and Weston Heights, predeveloped runoff will be directed
away from the wetland in order to satisfy flow control requirements. In order to satisfy the existing
wetland hydroperiod the runoff from the undisturbed Weston North Lot 1, will be redirected into the
wetland via an interceptor dike. Refer to Appendix 4C for “Wetland Hydroperiod Calculations”.

CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Conveyance System Analysis and Design
The project is proposing to tie into the Weston Heights conveyance systems. A new conveyance system
will be installed beneath the sidewalk along the Nile Ave NE frontage improvements. An existing
conveyance system is located at the curb line, restricting the location of the proposed conveyance
system. Shallow inlets will be installed at the curb line and will tightlined back to catch basins beneath the
sidewalk. The system will tie into the Weston Heights system at the intersection of the Weston Heights
developments’ roadway and Nile Ave NE. Yard drains, installed in Lots 3 – 6 will be tightlined to a
conveyance system along the private drive on the east basin. The new conveyance system will then tie
into the Weston Heights conveyance system, also along the private drive. Yard drains will be installed on
Lot 2, and the roof downspout of Lot 3 will be connected to an existing conveyance system along NE 7th
Pl. This conveyance will tie into the Olympus Villa conveyance system, directing this runoff into Pond ‘A’.
The KCSWDM requires that the conveyance flows tributary to each catch basin be calculated with
KCRTS using 15-minute timesteps. The KCRTS also requires that the 25-year peak design flows be
contained within the conveyance system with no surcharge. The 100-year peak design flows must also
be analyzed, and it must be demonstrated that any surcharge during the 100-year peak design event
must not cause or aggravate a flooding problem.
Conveyance calculations for this project are provided in Appendix 5A. For simplicity of the calculation,
and in order to provide a conservative design, the calculations only analyze the 100-year storm event,
and show that there is no surcharge during that event.

Executive Summary
This Executive Summary should be used in conjunction with the entire Geotechnical
Engineering Report (GER) for design and/or construction purposes. It should be
recognized that specific details were not included or fully developed in this section, and
the GER must be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items
contained herein. Section 7.0 should be read for an understanding of limitations.
RGI’s geotechnical scope of work included the advancement of 3 hand augers to a
maximum depth of 3.5 feet below existing site grades.
Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site is suitable
for development of the proposed project. The following geotechnical considerations were
identified:
Soil Conditions: The soils encountered during field exploration includes soft to medium
stiff silt with some sand and medium dense silty sand with some gravel .
Groundwater: Light groundwater seepage was encountered between depths of 8 to 18
inches bgs during our subsurface exploration.
Foundations: Foundations for the proposed building may be supported on conventional
spread footings bearing on medium dense to dense native soil or structural fill.
Slab-on-grade: Slab-on-grade floors and slabs for the proposed building can be supported
on medium dense to dense native soil or structural fill.
Pavements: The following pavement sections are recommended:
For heavy truck traffic areas: 3 inches of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) over 6 inches of
crushed rock base (CRB)
For general parking areas: 2 inches of HMA over 4 inches of CRB

1.0 Introduction
This Geotechnical Engineering Report (GER) presents the results of the geotechnical
engineering services provided for the Weston North short plat in Renton, Washington.
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess subsurface conditions and provide
geotechnical recommendations for the construction of single family residences. Our
scope of services included field explorations, laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and
preparation of this GER.
The recommendations in the following sections of this GER are based upon our current
understanding of the proposed site development as outlined below. If actual features
vary or changes are made, RGI should review them in order to modify our
recommendations as required. In addition, RGI requests to review the site grading plan,
final design drawings and specifications when available to verify that our project
understanding is correct and that our recommendations have been properly interpreted
and incorporated into the project design and construction.
2.0 Project description
The project site is located at 702 Nile Avenue Northeast in Renton, Washington. The
approximate location of the site is shown on Figure 1. The site is currently occupied by a
single family residence with a shop to the west and a grass field to the east of the
residence.
RGI understands that the parcel will be subdivided into six lots with construction of five
new single family residences. The existing residence and shop will remain on Lot 1. Our
understanding of the project is based on conversations with the client, and a site plan
that was forwarded to us by SDA dated October 24, 2015.
At the time of preparing this GER, building plans were not available for our review. Based
on our experience with similar construction, RGI anticipates that the proposed building
will be supported on perimeter walls with bearing loads of two to four kips per linear
foot, and a series of columns with a maximum load up to 20 kips. Slab-on-grade floor
loading of 250 pounds per square foot (psf) are expected.
3.0 Field Exploration and Laboratory Testing
3.1 FIELD EXPLORATION
On January 22, 2016, RGI excavated three hand augers. The approximate exploration
locations are shown on Figure 2.
Field logs of each exploration were prepared by the geologist that completed the
excavation. These logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during
excavation. The hand augers logs included in Appendix A represent an interpretation of
Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
the field logs and include modifications based on laboratory observation and analysis of
the samples.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
During the field exploration, a representative portion of each recovered sample was
sealed in containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual and laboratory
examination. Selected samples retrieved from the hand augers were tested for moisture
content and grain size analysis, to aid in soil classification and provide input for the
recommendations provided in this GER. The results and descriptions of the laboratory
tests are enclosed in Appendix A.
4.0 Site Conditions
4.1 SURFACE
The subject site is a rectangular-shaped parcel of land approximately 2.3 acres in size. The
site is bound to the north by Northeast 7th Place, to the east by residential property and
a private road, to the south by a wetland and residential properties, and to the west by
Nile Avenue Northeast.
The existing site houses a shop and a single family residence that are located within the
western section of the site. A handful of trees are located along the western portion of
the south property line with a cluster of 20 foot tall bamboo stalks to the northeast of the
house. The remaining area (central to eastern portion of the site) is occupied by a large
grassy field, where the proposed new single family residences would be constructed. The
site is relatively flat with an overall elevation difference of approximately 6 feet,
increasing in elevation towards the east.
4.2 GEOLOGY
Review of the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle King County, Washington, by D.R.
Mullineaux, (1965) indicates that the soil in the project vicinity is mapped as Ground
moraine deposits (Qgt), which is mostly thin ablation till over lodgment till, deposited by
Puget glacial lobe. Lodgment till generally compact, coherent, unsorted mixture of sand,
silt, clay and gravel: commonly termed hardpan. Ablation till similar, but much less
compact and coherent. Highly variable in thickness and in relative proportion of lodgment
to ablation till; lodgment till generally 5 to 30 feet thick, ablation till 2 to 10 feet. North of
Cedar River, till is mostly sand, is relatively friable and locally less than 5 feet thick.
Between Renton and Lake Youngs, lodgment till locally is thin, but ablation till is relatively
thick and grades to stratified drift. Moderately drumlinized, forms undulating, locally
irregular surface characterized by southeast-ward-trending hills and swales, commonly
overlain by thin sand, clay or peat. Surface drainage is locally poor. Lodgment till is
nearly impermeable and relatively difficult to excavate, but relatively stable in cut slopes.
These descriptions are generally similar to the findings in our field explorations.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 3 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
4.3 SOILS
The soils encountered during field exploration include silt with some sand to silty sand
with some gravel. Hand auger locations HA-2 and HA-3 encountered dense to very dense
soils that contained large gravels and cobbles that prevented further advancement in
depth.
More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented in
the hand auger logs included in Appendix A. Sieve analysis was performed on two
selected soil samples. Grain size distribution curves are included in Appendix A.
4.4 GROUNDWATER
Light groundwater seepage was encountered between 8 to 18 inches bgs during our
subsurface exploration. The groundwater appears to be perched over the top of a
medium stiff SILT layer. Surface water was also observed in the grassy field during the
exploration.
It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur due to
seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident at the
time the explorations were performed. In addition, perched water can develop within
seams and layers contained in fill soils or higher permeability soils overlying less
permeable soils following periods of heavy or prolonged precipitation. Therefore,
groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the future may be higher or
lower than the levels indicated on the logs. Groundwater level fluctuations should be
considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
4.5 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the 2012 International Building Code (IBC), RGI recommends the follow seismic
parameters for design.
Table 1 2012 IBC
Parameter Value
Site Soil Class1 C2
Site Latitude 47.494016o N
Site Longitude 122.141161o W
Short Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SS (g) 1.387

Adjusted Short Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SMS (g) 1.387
Adjusted 1-Second Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SM1 (g) 0.677
1. Note: In general accordance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 7. The Site Class is based on the average characteristics of the upper 100 feet
of the subsurface profile.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 4 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
2. Note: The 2012 IBC and ASCE 7 require a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for seismic site
classification. The current scope of our services does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Hand augers
extended to a maximum depth of 3.5 feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that very dense soil continues below the
maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions
below the current depth of exploration.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength
due to an increase in water pressure induced by vibrations from a seismic event.
Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are
below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their strength from intergranular
friction. The generated water pressure or pore pressure essentially separates the soil
grains and eliminates this intergranular friction, thus reducing or eliminating the soil’s
strength.
RGI reviewed the results of the field and laboratory testing and assessed the potential for
liquefaction of the site’s soil during an earthquake. Since the site is underlain by glacial
till, RGI considers that the possibility of liquefaction during an earthquake is minimal.
4.6 GEOLOGIC HAZARD AREAS
Regulated geologically hazardous areas include erosion, landslide, earthquake, or other
geological hazards. Based on the definitions in the Renton Municipal Code, the site does
not contain geologically hazardous areas. There are not mapped coal mine hazards, steep
slopes or landslide hazard on the site or in the near vicinity of the site. A wetland is
mapped on the parcel to the south of the site and appears to extend slightly into the site.
5.0 Discussion and Recommendations
5.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Based on our study, the site is suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical
standpoint. Foundations for the proposed building can be supported on conventional
spread footings bearing on medium dense to dense native soil or structural fill. Slab-on-
grade and pavements can be similarly supported.
Detailed recommendations regarding the above issues and other geotechnical design
considerations are provided in the following sections. These recommendations should be
incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications.
5.2 EARTHWORK
The earthwork is expected to include installing underground utilities excavating and
backfilling the residence foundations and preparing sidewalk, driveway and frontage
improvement roadway subgrades.
5.2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend on construction
methods, slope length and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type,
Geotechnical Engineering Report 5 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
construction sequencing and weather. The impacts on erosion-prone areas can be
reduced by implementing an erosion and sedimentation control plan. The plan should be
designed in accordance with applicable city and/or county standards.
RGI recommends the following erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs):
Scheduling site preparation and grading for the drier summer and early fall
months and undertaking activities that expose soil during periods of little or no
rainfall
Retaining existing vegetation whenever feasible
Establishing a quarry spall construction entrance
Installing siltation control fencing or anchored straw or coir wattles on the
downhill side of work areas
Covering soil stockpiles with anchored plastic sheeting
Revegetating or mulching exposed soils with a minimum 3-inch thickness of straw
if surfaces will be left undisturbed for more than one day during wet weather or
one week in dry weather
Directing runoff away from exposed soils and slopes
Minimizing the length and steepness of slopes with exposed soils and cover
excavation surfaces with anchored plastic sheeting (Graded and disturbed slopes
should be tracked in place with the equipment running perpendicular to the slope
contours so that the track marks provide a texture to help resist erosion and
channeling. Some sloughing and raveling of slopes with exposed or disturbed soil
should be expected.)
Decreasing runoff velocities with check dams, straw bales or coir wattles
Confining sediment to the project site
Inspecting and maintaining erosion and sediment control measures frequently
(The contractor should be aware that inspection and maintenance of erosion
control BMPs is critical toward their satisfactory performance. Repair and/or
replacement of dysfunctional erosion control elements should be anticipated.)
Permanent erosion protection should be provided by reestablishing vegetation using
hydroseeding and/or landscape planting. Until the permanent erosion protection is
established, site monitoring should be performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the
effectiveness of the erosion control measures. Provisions for modifications to the erosion
control system based on monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and
sedimentation control plan.
5.2.2 STRIPPING
Stripping efforts should include removal of pavements, vegetation, organic materials, and
deleterious debris from areas slated for building, pavement, and utility construction. The
hand augers encountered eight to 14 inches of topsoil and rootmass. Deeper areas of
stripping may be required in forested or heavily vegetated areas of the site.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 6 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
5.2.3 EXCAVATIONS
All temporary cut slopes associated with the site and utility excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. The site soils consist of dense
native soils.
Accordingly, for excavations more than 4 feet but less than 20 feet in depth, the
temporary side slopes should be laid back with a minimum slope inclination of 1.5H:1V
(Horizontal:Vertical) where groundwater seepage is encountered and 3/4H:1V in the
underlying dense soils. If there is insufficient room to complete the excavations in this
manner, or excavations greater than 20 feet in depth are planned, using temporary
shoring to support the excavations should be considered. For open cuts at the site, RGI
recommends:
No traffic, construction equipment, stockpiles or building supplies are allowed at
the top of cut slopes within a distance of at least five feet from the top of the cut
Exposed soil along the slope is protected from surface erosion using waterproof
tarps and/or plastic sheeting
Construction activities are scheduled so that the length of time the temporary cut
is left open is minimized
Surface water is diverted away from the excavation
The general condition of slopes should be observed periodically by a geotechnical
engineer to confirm adequate stability and erosion control measures
In all cases, however, appropriate inclinations will depend on the actual soil and
groundwater conditions encountered during earthwork. Ultimately, the site contractor
must be responsible for maintaining safe excavation slopes that comply with applicable
OSHA or WISHA guidelines.
5.2.4 SITE PREPARATION
Once stripping, clearing and other preparing operations are complete, the footings should
be excavated into the native soils. Subgrade soils that become disturbed due to elevated
moisture conditions should be overexcavated to reveal firm, non-yielding, non-organic
soils and backfilled with compacted structural fill. In order to maximize utilization of site
soils as structural fill, RGI recommends that the earthwork portion of this project be
completed during extended periods of warm and dry weather if possible. If earthwork is
completed during the wet season (typically November through May) it will be necessary
to take extra precautionary measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork
will require additional mitigative measures beyond that which would be expected during
the drier summer and fall months.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 7 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
5.2.5 STRUCTURAL FILL
RGI recommends fill below the foundation and floor slab, behind retaining walls, and
below pavement and hardscape surfaces be placed in accordance with the following
recommendations for structural fill.
The suitability of excavated site soils and import soils for compacted structural fill use will
depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil when it is placed. As the
amount of fines (that portion passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes
increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction
becomes more difficult or impossible to achieve. Soils containing more than about 5
percent fines cannot be consistently compacted to a dense, non-yielding condition when
the moisture content is more than 2 percent above or below optimum. Optimum
moisture content is that moisture that results in the greatest compacted dry density with
a specified compactive effort.
Non-organic site soils are only considered suitable for structural fill provided that their
moisture content is within about two percent of the optimum moisture level as
determined by ASTM D1557. Excavated site soils may not be suitable for re-use as
structural fill depending on the moisture content and weather conditions at the time of
construction. If soils are stockpiled for future reuse and wet weather is anticipated, the
stockpile should be protected with plastic sheeting that is securely anchored. Even during
dry weather, moisture conditioning (such as, windrowing and drying) of site soils to be
reused as structural fill may be required. Even during the summer, delays in grading can
occur due to excessively high moisture conditions of the soils or due to precipitation. If
wet weather occurs, the upper wetted portion of the site soils may need to be scarified
and allowed to dry prior to further earthwork, or may need to be wasted from the site.
The native soils were over the optimum moisture content during our explorations. The
native soils may require moisture conditioning even in the drier summer months. If on-
site soils are or become unusable or earthwork will be completed in wet weather, it may
become necessary to import clean, granular soils to complete site work that meet the
grading requirements listed in Table 2 to be used as structural fill.

*Based on minus 3/4 inch fraction.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 8 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
Prior to use, an RGI representative should observe and test all materials imported to the
site for use as structural fill. Structural fill materials should be placed in uniform loose
layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted as specified in Table 2. The soil’s maximum
density and optimum moisture should be determined by ASTM D1557.

Placement and compaction of structural fill should be observed by RGI. A representative
number of in-place density tests should be performed as the fill is being placed to confirm
that the recommended level of compaction is achieved.
5.2.6 CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All permanent cut and fill slopes (except interior slopes of detention pond) should be
graded with a finished inclination no greater than 2H:1V. The interior slopes of the
detention pond must be graded with a slope gradient no steeper than 3H:1V. Upon
completion of construction, the slope face should be trackwalked, compacted and
vegetated, or provided with other physical means to guard against erosion.
Final grades at the top of the slopes must promote surface drainage away from the slope
crest. Water must not be allowed to flow in an uncontrolled fashion over the slope face. If
it is necessary to direct surface runoff towards the slope, it should be controlled at the
top of the slope, piped in a closed conduit installed on the slope face, and taken to an
appropriate point of discharge beyond the toe of the slope. All fill placed for slope
construction should meet the structural fill requirements as described in Section 5.2.5.
5.2.7 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
RGI recommends that preparation for site grading and construction include procedures
intended to drain ponded water, control surface water runoff, and to collect shallow
subsurface seepage zones in excavations where encountered. It will not be possible to
Geotechnical Engineering Report 9 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
successfully compact the subgrade or utilize on-site soils as structural fill if accumulated
water is not drained prior to grading or if drainage is not controlled during construction.
Attempting to grade the site without adequate drainage control measures will reduce the
amount of on-site soil effectively available for use, increase the amount of select import
fill materials required, and ultimately increase the cost of the earthwork phases of the
project. Free water should not be allowed to pond on the subgrade soils. RGI anticipates
that the use of berms and shallow drainage ditches, with sumps and pumps in utility
trenches, will be required for surface water control during wet weather and/or wet site
conditions.
5.3 FOUNDATIONS
Following site preparation and grading, the proposed residence foundations can be
supported on conventional spread footings bearing on medium dense to dense native soil
or structural fill. Loose, organic, or other unsuitable soils may be encountered in the
proposed building footprint. If unsuitable soils are encountered, they should be
overexcavated and backfilled with structural fill.
Perimeter foundations exposed to weather should be at a minimum depth of 18 inches
below final exterior grades. Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient
depth below the floor slab. Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within
5 feet of the foundation for perimeter (or exterior) footings and finished floor level for
interior footings.

Passive pressure (equivalent fluid pressure) 250 pcf2
Minimum foundation dimensions Columns: 24 inches
Walls: 16 inches
1. psf = pounds per square foot
2. pcf = pounds per cubic foot
The allowable foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load
conditions. For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a 1/3 increase in this
allowable capacity may be used. At perimeter locations, RGI recommends not including
the upper 12 inches of soil in the computation of passive pressures because they can be
affected by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. The passive pressure value
assumes the foundation will be constructed neat against competent soil or backfilled with
Geotechnical Engineering Report 10 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
structural fill as described in Section 5.2.5. The recommended base friction and passive
resistance value includes a safety factor of about 1.5.
With spread footing foundations designed in accordance with the recommendations in
this section, maximum total and differential post-construction settlements of 1 inch and
1/2 inch, respectively, should be expected.
5.4 RETAINING WALLS
If retaining walls are needed for the residences, RGI recommends cast-in-place concrete
walls be used. The magnitude of earth pressure development on retaining walls will partly
depend on the quality of the wall backfill. RGI recommends placing and compacting wall
backfill as structural fill. Wall drainage will be needed behind the wall face. A typical
retaining wall drainage detail is shown in Figure 3.
With wall backfill placed and compacted as recommended, and drainage properly
installed, RGI recommends using the values in the following table for design.
Table 5 Retaining Wall Design
Design Parameter Value
Allowable Bearing Capacity - Structural Fill
Dense native soils
2,500 psf
4,000 psf
Active Earth Pressure (unrestrained walls) 35 pcf
At-rest Earth Pressure (restrained walls) 50 pcf
For seismic design, an additional uniform load of 7 times the wall height (H) for
unrestrained walls and 14H in psf for restrained walls should be applied to the wall
surface.
Friction at the base of foundations and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to
these lateral loads. Values for these parameters are provided in Section 5.3.
5.5 SLAB-ON-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Once site preparation has been completed as described in Section 5.2, suitable support
for slab-on-grade construction should be provided. RGI recommends that the concrete
slab be placed on top of medium dense native soil or structural fill. Immediately below
the floor slab, RGI recommends placing a four-inch thick capillary break layer of clean,
free-draining sand or gravel that has less than five percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve.
This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water through
the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slab. Where moisture by vapor
transmission is undesirable, an 8- to 10-millimeter thick plastic membrane should be
placed on a 4-inch thick layer of clean gravel.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 11 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
For the anticipated floor slab loading, we estimate post-construction floor settlements of
1/4- to 1/2-inch. For thickness design of the slab subjected to point loading from storage
racks, RGI recommends using a subgrade modulus (KS) of 150 pounds per square inch per
inch of deflection.
5.6 DRAINAGE
5.6.1 SURFACE
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the
residences. Water must not be allowed to pond or collect adjacent to foundations or
within the immediate building area. For non-pavement locations, RGI recommends
providing a minimum drainage gradient of 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet
from the building perimeter. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should
be provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water
adjacent to the structure.
5.6.2 SUBSURFACE
RGI recommends installing perimeter foundation drains. A typical footing drain detail is
shown on Figure 4. The foundation drains and roof downspouts should be tightlined
separately to an approved discharge facility. Subsurface drains must be laid with a
gradient sufficient to promote positive flow to a controlled point of approved discharge.
5.6.3 INFILTRATION
Infiltration is not feasible on the site due to the presence of nearly impermeable soils and
shallow groundwater conditions.
5.7 UTILITIES
Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works
Association (APWA) specifications. For site utilities located within the right-of-ways,
bedding and backfill should be completed in accordance with City of Renton
specifications. At a minimum, trench backfill should be placed and compacted as
structural fill, as described in Section 5.2.5. Where utilities occur below unimproved
areas, the degree of compaction can be reduced to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil’s
maximum density as determined by the referenced ASTM D1557. As noted, soils
excavated on site may not be suitable for use as backfill material. Imported structural fill
meeting the gradation provided in Table 2 may be necessary for trench backfill.
5.8 PAVEMENTS
Pavement subgrades should be prepared as described in Section 5.2 and as discussed
below. Regardless of the relative compaction achieved, the subgrade must be firm and
relatively unyielding before paving. The subgrade should be proofrolled with heavy
construction equipment to verify this condition.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 12 January 29, 2016
Weston North, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2016-009
With the pavement subgrade prepared as described above, RGI recommends the
following pavement sections for parking and drive areas paved with flexible asphalt
concrete surfacing.
For heavy truck traffic areas: 3 inches of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) over 6 inches of
crushed rock base (CRB)
For general parking areas: 2 inches of HMA over 4 inches of CRB
The asphalt paving materials used should conform to the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) specifications for HMA and CRB surfacing.
Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly-drained
pavement section will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water
infiltrating into the subgrade soils and reducing their supporting capability.
For optimum pavement performance, surface drainage gradients of no less than 2
percent are recommended. Also, some degree of longitudinal and transverse cracking of
the pavement surface should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be
planned to seal cracks when they occur.
6.0 Additional Services
RGI is available to provide further geotechnical consultation throughout the design phase
of the project. RGI should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that
earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and
incorporated into project design and construction.
RGI is also available to provide geotechnical engineering and construction monitoring
services during construction. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on
proper site preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may arise in
the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent.
Construction monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. If these services are
desired, please let us know and we will prepare a cost proposal.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
On January 22, 2016, RGI performed field explorations using a hand auger. We explored
subsurface soil conditions at the site by excavating three hand augers to a maximum
depth of 3.5 feet below existing grade. The hand augers locations are shown on Figure 2.
The hand augers locations were approximately determined by measurements from
existing property lines and paved roads.
A geologist from our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil
conditions encountered, maintained a log of each test exploration, obtained
representative soil samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were
visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Representative soil samples obtained from the explorations were placed in closed
containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. As a part of
the laboratory testing program, the soil samples were classified in our in house laboratory
based on visual observation, texture, plasticity, and the limited laboratory testing
described below.
Moisture Content Determinations
Moisture content determinations were performed in accordance with ASTM D2216-10
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
and Rock by Mass (ASTM D2216) on representative samples obtained from the
exploration in order to aid in identification and correlation of soil types. The moisture
content of typical sample was measured and is reported on the hand augers logs.
Grain Size Analysis
A grain size analysis indicates the range in diameter of soil particles included in a
particular sample. Grain size analyses was determined using D6913-04(2009) Standard
Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis (ASTM
D6913) on two of the samples.

Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
ESC Plan Analysis and Design
This section, along with the Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) Plan contained in the
engineering drawings, is intended to serve as the construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) for the project. The SWPPP is outlined in conformance with the 2005 edition of the
Washington State Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington
(DOE Manual).
1.0 – INTRODUCTION
An introductory overview of the project has been provided in the Project Overview section of this
report.
2.0 – SITE DESCRIPTION
A general site description has been provided in the Project Overview section of this report. Additional
detailed information is provided through the rest of this report.
3.0 – CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER BMPs
3.1 – 12 BMP ELEMENTS
Element #1 – Mark Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the
limits of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that
are to be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly
delineated, both in the field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native
topsoil shall be retained in an undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMPs
relevant to marking the clearing limits are identified in Appendix 8B.
Alternate BMPs for marking clearing limits are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference
tool for the onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or
inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES
Permit (Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may
cause a violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the
alternative BMPs after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
Element #2 – Establish Construction Access
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent
sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The
specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project are
identified in Appendix 8B.
Alternate construction access BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference tool
for the onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or
inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES
Permit (Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may
cause a violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the
alternative BMPs after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.

Technical Information Report
Element #3 - Control Flow Rates
In order to protect the properties and waterways downstream of the project site, stormwater
discharges from the site will be controlled. The specific BMPs for flow control that shall be
used on this project are identified in Appendix 8B.
Alternate flow control BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference tool for the
onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or inappropriate
during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit. To
avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation of the NPDES
Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will
promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs after the first sign
that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
In general, discharge rates of stormwater from the site will be controlled where increases in
impervious area or soil compaction during construction could lead to downstream erosion, or
where necessary to meet local agency stormwater discharge requirements (e.g. discharge to
combined sewer systems).
Element #4 - Install Sediment Controls
All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment
removal BMP before leaving the construction site or prior to being discharged to an infiltration
facility. The specific BMPs to be used for controlling sediment on this project are identified in
Appendix 8B.
Alternate sediment control BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference tool for
the onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or inappropriate
during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit
(Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a
violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and Sediment
Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs
at the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
In addition, sediment will be removed from paved areas in and adjacent to construction work
areas manually or using mechanical sweepers, as needed, to minimize tracking of sediments
on vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize wash off of sediments from adjacent
streets in runoff.
Whenever possible, sediment laden water shall be discharged into onsite, relatively level,
vegetated areas (BMP C240 paragraph 4, Volume II page 116).
In some cases, sediment discharge in concentrated runoff can be controlled using permanent
stormwater BMPs (e.g., infiltration swales, ponds, trenches). Sediment loads can limit the
effectiveness of some permanent stormwater BMPs, such as those used for infiltration or
biofiltration; however, those BMPs designed to remove solids by settling (wet ponds or
detention ponds) can be used during the construction phase. When permanent stormwater
BMPs will be used to control sediment discharge during construction, the structure will be
protected from excessive sedimentation with adequate erosion and sediment control BMPs.
Any accumulated sediment shall be removed after construction is complete and the
permanent stormwater BMP will be restabilized with vegetation per applicable design
requirements once the remainder of the site has been stabilized.

Technical Information Report
Element #5 - Stabilize Soils
Exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized with the application of effective BMPs to
prevent erosion throughout the life of the project. The specific BMPs for soil stabilization that
shall be used on this project are identified in Appendix 8B.
Seeding will be used on disturbed areas that have reached final grade or that will remain
unworked for more than thirty days. Plastic Covering will be used on the temporary stock pile
areas and elsewhere on the site as needed. Dust control will be implemented as needed, to
prevent it being required all roadways and driveways to be paved will receive early
application of gravel base.
Alternate soil stabilization BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference tool for the
onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or inappropriate
during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit
(Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a
violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and Sediment
Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs
after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
The project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest. As such, no soils shall
remain exposed and unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season (May 1 to
September 30) and 2 days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). Regardless of the
time of year, all soils shall be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if
needed based on weather forecasts.
In general, cut and fill slopes will be stabilized as soon as possible and soil stockpiles will be
temporarily covered with plastic sheeting. All stockpiled soils shall be stabilized from erosion,
protected with sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be located away from storm
drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels.
Element #6 - Protect Slopes
All cut and fill slopes will be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner than minimizes
erosion. The specific BMPs that will be used to protect slopes for this project are identified in
Appendix 8B.
Alternate slope protection BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick reference tool for the
onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective or inappropriate
during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit
(Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a
violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and Sediment
Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs
after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
Element #7 - Protect Drain Inlets
All storm drain inlets and culverts made operable during construction shall be protected to
prevent unfiltered or untreated water from entering the drainage conveyance system.
However, the first priority is to keep all access roads clean of sediment and keep street wash
water separate from entering storm drains until treatment can be provided. Storm Drain Inlet
Protection (BMP C220) will be implemented for all drainage inlets and culverts that could
potentially be impacted by sediment-laden runoff on and near the project site. The inlet
protection measures to be applied on this project are identified in Appendix 8B.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
If the primary BMP options are deemed ineffective or inappropriate during construction to
satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit (Appendix 8D), or if no BMPs
are listed above but deemed necessary during construction, the Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead shall implement one or more of the alternative BMP inlet protection
options.
Element #8 - Stabilize Channels and Outlets
Where site runoff is to be conveyed in channels, or discharged to a stream or some other
natural drainage point, efforts will be taken to prevent downstream erosion. The specific
BMPs for channel and outlet stabilization that shall be used on this project are identified in
Appendix 8B.
Alternate channel and outlet stabilization BMPs are included in Appendix 8C as a quick
reference tool for the onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s) are deemed ineffective
or inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General
NPDES Permit (Appendix 8D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that
may cause a violation(s) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion
and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the
alternative BMPs after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
The project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest. As such, all temporary on-
site conveyance channels shall be designed, constructed, and stabilized to prevent erosion
from the expected peak 10 minute velocity of flow from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour
recurrence interval storm for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour peak
flow rate indicated by an approved continuous runoff simulation model, increased by a factor
of 1.6, shall be used. Stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion
of outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream reaches shall be provided at the
outlets of all conveyance systems.
Element #9 - Control Pollutants
All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur onsite shall be
handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater.
Good housekeeping and preventative measures will be taken to ensure that the site will be
kept clean, well-organized, and free of debris. Any required BMPs to be implemented to
control specific sources of pollutants are identified in Appendix 8B.
The contractor shall implement the following measures as much as is practicable, in order to
mitigate pollutant impacts from vehicles, construction equipment, and/or petroleum product
storage/dispensing:
All vehicles, equipment, and petroleum product storage/dispensing areas will be
inspected regularly to detect any leaks or spills, and to identify maintenance needs to
prevent leaks or spills.
On-site fueling tanks and petroleum product storage containers shall include
secondary containment.
Spill prevention measures, such as drip pans, will be used when conducting
maintenance and repair of vehicles or equipment.
In order to perform emergency repairs on site, temporary plastic will be placed
beneath and, if raining, over the vehicle.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately following any discharge or spill
incident.
The contractor shall implement the following concrete and grout pollution control
measures:
Process water and slurry resulting from concrete work will be prevented from entering
the waters of the State by implementing Concrete Handling measures (BMP C151).
The contractor shall implement the following Solid Waste pollution control measures:
Solid waste will be stored in secure, clearly marked containers.
Element #10 - Control Dewatering
Foundation, vault, and trench de-watering water, which shall have similar characteristics to
stormwater runoff at the site, shall be discharged into a controlled conveyance system prior to
discharge to a sediment trap, pond, or other specified facility. Channels must be stabilized as
specified in Element #8.
Clean, non-turbid de-watering water, such as well-point groundwater, can be discharged to
systems tributary to state surface waters, provided the de-watering flow does not cause
erosion or flooding of receiving waters. These clean waters should not be routed through
stormwater sediment ponds.
Highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water shall be handled separately from
stormwater.
Element #11 - Maintain BMPs
All BMPs should be monitored and maintained regularly to ensure adequate operation. A
TESC supervisor shall be identified at the beginning of the project to provide monitoring and
direct the appropriate maintenance activity. As site conditions change, all BMPs shall be
updated as necessary to maintain compliance with local regulations.
Temporary BMPs can be removed when they are no longer needed. All temporary erosion
and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after construction is completed
and the site is stabilized.
Element #12 - Manage the Project
Erosion and sediment control BMPs for this project have been designed based on the
following principles:
Design the project to fit the existing topography, soils, and drainage patterns.
Emphasize erosion control rather than sediment control.
Minimize the extent and duration of the area exposed.
Keep runoff velocities low.
Retain sediment on site.
Thoroughly monitor site and maintain all ESC measures.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Schedule major earthwork during the dry season.
As this project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest, the project will be
managed according to the following key project components:
Phasing of Construction
The construction project is being phased to the extent practicable in order to prevent soil
erosion, and, to the maximum extent possible, the transport of sediment from the site during
construction.
Revegetation of exposed areas and maintenance of that vegetation shall be an integral
part of the clearing activities during each phase of construction, per the Scheduling BMP (C
162).
Seasonal Work Limitations
From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities
shall only be permitted if shown to the satisfaction of the local permitting authority that silt-
laden runoff will be prevented from leaving the site through a combination of the following:
o Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type, and proximity to
receiving waters; and
o Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and
o Proposed erosion and sediment control measures.
Based on the information provided and/or local weather conditions, the local permitting
authority may expand or restrict the seasonal limitation on site disturbance.
The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing and grading limitations:
o Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs;
o Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the
soil or result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil; and
o Activities where there is 100 percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the site in
approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities.
Coordination with Utilities and Other Jurisdictions
Care has been taken to coordinate with utilities, other construction projects, and the local
jurisdiction in preparing this SWPPP and scheduling the construction work.
Inspection and Monitoring
All BMPs shall be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued
performance of their intended function. Site inspections shall be conducted by a person who
is knowledgeable in the principles and practices of erosion and sediment control. This
person has the necessary skills to:
o Assess the site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of
stormwater, and
o Assess the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the
quality of stormwater discharges.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
A Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead shall be on-site or on-call at all times.
Whenever inspection and/or monitoring reveals that the BMPs identified in this SWPPP
are inadequate, due to the actual discharge of or potential to discharge a significant amount
of any pollutant, appropriate BMPs or design changes shall be implemented as soon as
possible.
Maintaining an Updated Construction SWPPP
This SWPPP shall be retained on-site or within reasonable access to the site.
The SWPPP shall be modified whenever there is a change in the design, construction,
operation, or maintenance at the construction site that has, or could have, a significant effect
on the discharge of pollutants to waters of the state.
The SWPPP shall be modified if, during inspections or investigations conducted by the
owner/operator, or the applicable local or state regulatory authority, it is determined that the
SWPPP is ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site. The SWPPP shall be modified as necessary to include additional or
modified BMPs designed to correct problems identified. Revisions to the SWPPP shall be
completed within seven (7) days following the inspection.
3.2 – SITE SPECIFIC BMPs

book, if desired, or the forms may be separated and included in a separate site log book. However, if
separated, the site log book must be maintained on-site or within reasonable access to the site and be
made available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
6.1 SITE INSPECTION
All BMPs will be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued performance
of their intended function. The inspector will be a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
(CESCL) per BMP C160. The name and contact information for the CESCL is provided in
Section 5 of this SWPPP.
Site inspection will occur in all areas disturbed by construction activities and at all stormwater
discharge points. Stormwater will be examined for the presence of suspended sediment,
turbidity, discoloration, and oily sheen. The site inspector will evaluate and document the
effectiveness of the installed BMPs and determine if it is necessary to repair or replace any of the
BMPs to improve the quality of stormwater discharges. All maintenance and repairs will be
documented in the site log book or forms provided in this document. All new BMPs or design
changes will be documented in the SWPPP as soon as possible.
6.1.1 Site Inspection Frequency
Site inspections will be conducted at least once a week and within 24 hours following any
rainfall event which causes a discharge of stormwater from the site. For sites with
temporary stabilization measures, the site inspection frequency can be reduced to once
every month.
6.1.2 Site Inspection Documentation
The site inspector will record each site inspection using the site log inspection forms
provided in Appendix 8E. The site inspection log forms may be separated from this
SWPPP document, but will be maintained on-site or within reasonable access to the site
and be made available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
6.2 Stormwater Quality Monitoring
6.2.1 Turbidity Sampling
Monitoring requirements for the proposed project will include turbidity sampling to monitor
site discharges for water quality compliance with the 2010 Snohomish County Drainage
manual and Snohomish County Code Title 30.63A NPDES Construction Stormwater
General Permit (Appendix 8D). Sampling will be conducted at all site discharge points at
least once per calendar week.
Turbidity monitoring will follow the analytical methodologies described in Section S4 of
the 2005 Construction Stormwater General Permit (Appendix 8D). The key benchmark
values that require action include 25 NTU and 250 NTU for turbidity. If the 25 NTU
benchmark for turbidity is exceeded, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Ensure all BMPs specified in this SWPPP are installed and functioning as
intended.
2. Assess whether additional BMPs should be implemented and make revisions to
the SWPPP as necessary.
3. Sample the discharge location daily until the analysis results are less than 25
NTU (turbidity) or 32 cm (transparency).
If the turbidity is greater than 25 NTU but less than 250 NTU for more than 3 days,
additional treatment BMPs will be implemented within 24 hours of the third consecutive
sample that exceeded the benchmark value. Additional treatment BMPs will include, but
are not limited to, off-site treatment, infiltration, filtration and chemical treatment.
If the 250 NTU benchmark for turbidity is exceeded at any time, the following steps will be
conducted:
1. Notify Ecology by phone within 24 hours of analysis.
2. Continue daily sampling until the turbidity is less than 25 NTU.
3. Initiate additional treatment BMPs such as off-site treatment, infiltration, filtration
and chemical treatment within 24 hours of the first 250 NTU exceedance.
4. Implement additional treatment BMPs as soon as possible, but within 7 days of
the first 250 NTU exceedance.
5. Describe inspection results and remedial actions that are taken in the site log
book and in monthly discharge monitoring reports.
6.2.2 pH Sampling
Stormwater runoff will be monitored for pH starting on the first day of any activity that
includes more than 40 yards of poured or recycled concrete, or after the application of
“Engineered Soils” such as, Portland cement treated base, cement kiln dust, or fly ash.
This does not include fertilizers. For concrete work, pH monitoring will start the first day
concrete is poured and continue until 3 weeks after the last pour. For engineered soils,
the pH monitoring period begins when engineered soils are first exposed to precipitation
and continue until the area is fully stabilized.
Weston Heights North
Technical Information Report
Stormwater samples will be collected daily from all points of discharge from the site and
measured for pH using a calibrated pH meter, pH test kit, or wide range pH indicator
paper. If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Prevent the high pH water from entering storm drains or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water if necessary using appropriate technology
such as CO2 sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Contact Ecology if chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging is planned.
7.0 – REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING
