1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Talbot Hill Substation is located at 2400 South Puget Drive, Renton, WA 98055.
Puget Sound Energy (“PSE”) and Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”) have two adjacent substations on Talbot Hill in Renton. Transmission level bulk power is received by PSE via the Talbot Hill substation from BPA’s adjoining Maple Valley substation through two 230 kV transmission line interties.
Puget Sound Energy has modernized the Talbot Hill substation over the last two years. During construction of the first phase of the modernization effort, additional analyses completed by BPA revealed that the new equipment configuration at the Talbot Hill substation could cause significant
impacts to BPA’s substation equipment during an electrical fault event because of the interconnection. To mitigate that potential, BPA and PSE have been working together to determine a solution to the problem. The best solution is to install current limiting reactors (“CLRs”) on the transmission lines that
connect the two substations. The CLRs act as a large surge protector to protect the substation equipment should an electrical fault occur.
The project consists of installing six CLRs, one for each phase of the two transmission line interties. The
CLRs are large, highly customized coils that are each supported by insulators. For safety and security purposes, the CLRs will also be installed on elevated pedestals with foundations and enclosed by an eight-foot security fence. A new 190’ long by 85’ wide gravel pad will be constructed to support the CLRs and the enclosure. The equipment will be accessed by a new approximately 330’ long by 15’ wide gravel access road that will originate on PSE parcel number 2023059003 from the Talbot Hill substation driveway.
The site improvements for this project include 0.42 acres of new impervious surface including a gravel pad for the CLRs and an access road. The total acreage for this project is 0.58 acres of development.
The proposed expansion will be graded to the south to drain to the existing pond located to the south of the expansion area. The control structure in the existing pond will be modified to control the additional impervious flow from the proposed pad. The new access road will be constructed at existing grade and to
maintain existing drainage patterns to the extent possible. Site vegetation is a mixture of barren land, grass and shrubs. The site appears to have been previously cleared. Slopes are moderate to steep and range between 1% and 16%.
The existing substation and detention pond were designed by HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR). The Technical Information Report (TIR) by HDR, is included as an Appendix in this report for reference.

3.0 OFFSITE ANALYSIS
3.1 Level 1 Analysis
A downstream analysis was completed by HDR for the project site in April, 2017 and can be found in Appendix H. The results of the previous analysis including field inspections indicate that no conveyance, flooding or erosion issues have been identified within ¼-mile of the project site. A second analysis was completed by POWER Engineers, Inc. for the CLR expansion in September, 2018 yielding the same conclusion. Results of the most recent Level 1 analysis including mapping can be found in Appendix C.

3.1.1 Tasks 1-5
Task 1 – Study Area
The Study Area includes an approximate one-quarter mile stretch of downstream conveyance which receives the discharge from the existing detention pond.
Task 2 – Resource Review
• The following are noted:
o Adopted basins plans were not available
o The project site is not located within a FEMA flood hazard area
o The project area is located inside a Coal Mine Hazard Area and is adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area
o The closest high-risk erosion hazard is approximately 1,400 feet west/southwest of the site
o The closest high-hazard landslide area is approximately 2,000 feet west of the site
o The project does not discharge to any erosion or landslide hazard areas
o The nearest drainage complaints were three-quarters of a mile west of the project area and will not be impacted
o No wetlands or impaired waters exist within one mile (downstream) of the site
o No groundwater has been encountered
o No stormwater quality problems exist within the study area
o No Basin Plans, Basin Reconnaissance Summary Reports and no nearby offsite analysis reports were obtained
Task 3 through Task 5 – Field Inspection and Results
The field inspection was conducted on September 18, 2018 under clear skies and in dry weather conditions. The existing conditions within the study area were observed in order to note any erosion or sedimentation, evidence of recurrent flooding, existing drainage issues and existing site conditions.
Appendix C contains the 2018 site photos and study area map. The study area consists primarily of undeveloped land with ground cover consisting of grass and shrub vegetation. There is a residential area approximately 400-feet (downstream) from the pond discharge location which is separated from the site by a park. South of the park is a bike trail and forested area which contains a stream channel. The channel is noted to flow beneath the trail in a drainage culvert prior to terminating inside a grassy area to the southwest where flows appear to convert to overland flow. No erosion problems were noted at this location. The September 2018 field inspection noted no conveyance, flooding or erosion problems

downstream of the site within one-quarter-mile of the pond discharge. The Level 1 Analysis has been deemed enough without further study of the area.
3.2 Level 2 Analysis
Offsite drainage area characteristics and downstream conditions have been inspected. No issues were noted. As a result, the Level 2 Analysis is not required for the proposed expansion and access road.

4.0 FLOW CONTROL, LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
4.1 Calculation Assumptions and Parameters
Calculations for this report include the following Assumptions:
• For purposes of analyzing compliance with the LID Performance Standard and Flow Control
Duration Standard the existing conditions have been modeled as the historical site conditions; assumed to consist of 0.58 acres of forested open space
Calculations for this report were completed using the following parameters:
• Regulatory requirements are from the City Surface Water Design Manual, City of Renton Public Works Department Surface Water Utility, December 12, 2016
• Hydrologic and Hydraulic modeling for this report were completed using the Western Washington Hydrology Model; 2012 (WWHM)
• The land surface cover characteristics are summarized in Table 1
• Reduced Impervious Surface Credit: Impervious surfaces have been restricted to the maximum
extent feasible. Permeable yard rock is being used where vehicle access is not required within the substation fence
• Soil parameters are from the project Geotechnical Report (Appendix F) and the USDA Web Soil Survey
• Substation pervious yard rock consists of a 4” layer of insulation material (yard rock) over 9” of base course. The 4” thick layer of insulation material ensures safety from grounding and step potential within the yard for PSE personnel. The PSE specification used for the insulating
material ensures that high infiltration and large void space (average void ratio of 35 %+/-) is present. In addition to the permeable nature of the insulation layer, the proposed 9” of base course also provides an infiltration rate ranging from 15 to 20 in/hr, with a void ratio ranging
from 28 to 29 percent. This allows for precipitation storage as well as flow-thru from the insulation into the base course. Please see Appendix F: Letter prepared by GeoEngineers, dated 12/18/2009, for the results of the permeability testing of PSE base course aggregate. The pervious
yard rock is modeled as ‘Gravel/Dirt Roads and Parking Lots, Roads without Collection System’ using an effective impervious fraction of 0.50. The impervious fraction was taken from Table 3.2.2.D of the King County Surface Water Design Manual.

4.2 Pre-Developed Site Hydrology (Part A)
The existing site features an existing substation and access road to the south that convey runoff to a 5,720
square foot (bottom area) detention pond with two-to-one (2:1, H:V) side slopes. The existing pond has a primary flow control structure with a flat top weir and three orifice openings on a 12” riser and an emergency overflow structure. The pond was designed in 2016 for adherence to the City of Renton’s
Area-Specific Flow Control Facility. The existing substation runoff is captured in catch basins and conveyed to the existing detention pond which sits immediately south of the existing substation. Surface runoff from the areas peripheral to the existing substation also drain southward. The site for the expansion
area drains primarily to the south and south west as well. The area consists of scrub and gravel with evidence of prior clearing. Existing trees that do remain are located to the south of the expansion area and will be maintained.
The pre-developed drainage area characteristics are summarized in Table 2. WWHM results can be found in Appendix B.

4.3 Developed Site Hydrology (Part B)
The developed site hydrology includes the addition of 0.58 acres of converted surface to the expansion area. Figure 5 in Appendix B depicts the developed site. The developed conditions were entered into the Mitigated Scenario within the WWHM model, using the existing pond geometry with modified flow
controls to determine the developed runoff durations. Following attenuation in the existing pond, stormwater will discharge to the natural location southwest of the site.
The existing pond has adequate capacity to receive the discharge from converted surfaces; 0.58 acres has
been added to the existing pond in the pre-developed and mitigated scenarios to estimate the additional flow to the existing pond. 0.58 acres includes approximately 0.09 acres to account for Compensatory Mitigation of bypassed target road surface. 0.09 acres of targeted road surface will bypass the pond. The pre-developed 100-year peak flow rate from the bypass area is 0.0 cfs. The post-developed 100-year peak flow rate from the bypass area is approximately 0.13 cfs. The increase in the existing site conditions 100-year peak discharge from the area of bypassed target surfaces is less than 0.15 cfs. Figure 6 in Appendix B indicates the compensatory mitigation area. The updated pond model for the existing pond can be found in Appendix B.

Table Notes:
1 Assumes mitigation from flow control in the existing detention pond
4.4 Performance Standards (Part C)
4.4.1 Area-Specific Flow Control Facility Standard
The project is subject to the Flow Control Duration Standard – Matching Forested site conditions for areas draining to streams that are subject to flow-related water quality problems such as erosion and sedimentation.
Applying the Area-Specific Flow Control Facility Requirements
1. The project does not qualify for the Direct Discharge Exemption
2. The project is in a designated flow control area and is subject to the Flow Control Duration Standard for forested conditions
3. Results from the WWHM are found in Appendix B. The Point of Compliance (POC) was
analyzed for flow duration mitigation with the Low Flow Threshold at 50% of 2-year and the High Flow Threshold at the 50-year flow rate
4. There are no known downstream drainage problems at the project area
4.4.2 Low Impact Development Performance Standard
Per Section 1.2.9.1 of the SWDM, projects that are subject to Core Requirement #9 must apply on-site BMPs to either supplement the flow mitigation provided by required flow control facilities or provide
flow mitigation where flow control facilities are not required. Projects may opt to use the LID Performance Standard in lieu of the BMP selection and application requirements. Using the LID Performance Standard in WWHM, we estimate a 475’ x 475’ x 6’ deep detention pond would be required.
Therefore, meeting the LID Performance Standard at this site is infeasible due to the lack of available space onsite.
Applying the On-Site BMPs
1. The project site can be classified as a single Large Lot (>22,000 square feet)
2. The project expansion site is 0.58 acres and includes 0.42 acres of new impervious cover
3. Full Dispersion of target impervious surfaces is not feasible at the site due to the lack of
native vegetated surface. The site contains less than 0.42 acres of native vegetated surface. The project proposes 0.42 acres of new impervious surface. The new impervious surface is greater than 100% of the total area of native vegetate surface on site
4. Due to size constraints, topography, and soil conditions the site is not suitable for Full Infiltration. Geotechnical Borings at the project site indicate the presence of shallow, medium dense to very dense glacial till underlaying the expansion area to depths of 20-feet
5. Basic Dispersion has been deemed infeasible for 95% of the site. 50% of site impervious equals 9,148 square feet. Each Basic Dispersion device can treat approximately 700 square
feet of impervious surface and requires a 10-foot minimum downstream vegetated flow path segment with a maximum slope of 15%. The site is not large enough to include adequate
POWER ENGINEERS, INC.
PAGE 14
Basic Dispersion and the required vegetated flow path segments. The impervious surfaces discharge over steep embankments or have concentrated flow paths. Approximately 1,328
square feet (0.03 acres) of the access road will be treated with Basic Dispersion by sheet flowing over 10-feet of relatively flat vegetated surface after leaving the road edge
6. Geotechnical analysis completed in January 2019 has deemed Limited Infiltration to be
infeasible due to the presence of shallow, medium dense to very dense glacial till underlying the expansion area
7. The onsite soils are not conducive to infiltration making Bioretention subject to failure on site
8. Permeable Pavement is not feasible due to the lack of infiltrative soils.
9. Soil Amendment will be applied to all proposed pervious surfaces in accordance with the requirements of Appendix C.2.13 of the Renton SWDM.
10. Reduced Impervious Surface Credit – the site requires a minimum of 18,295 square feet of impervious surface (72% of the site)
11. Native Growth Retention Credit – the project retains 7.49 acres of native growth on the parcel
12. Tree Retention Credit – the project retains trees on the parcel to the maximum extent feasible
4.5 Flow Control System (Part D)
The existing pond is located at the southeast corner of the site, is “L” shaped, and has a bottom area of
5,720 square feet. Side slopes are 2:1 on the north, south and east sides and approximately 7:1 on the west side for access. Flow is controlled in a concrete drainage inlet structure containing a 12-inch PVC riser with three separate orifice openings. The existing pond depth is 11.8-feet with a crest elevation of 437.30’
This provides approximately 3.43-feet of freeboard from the new 100-year water surface elevation of 433.87’.
To control flow for the new CLR expansion project, the existing control structure will be modified as
follows:
• The existing 7-foot riser will be replaced with an 8.5’ riser.
• A 0.9-inch orifice will be added at the bottom of the riser.
• A 2.3-inch orifice will be added at 6.4-feet above the bottom of the riser.
• A 1.6-inch orifice will be added at 7.3-feet above the bottom of the riser.
4.6 Water Quality System (Part E)
The proposed expansion and access road will not be used for manufacture, storage, or transport of
erodible or leachable materials, wastes or chemicals. The areas will not be used for parking and will only be subject to vehicular traffic on an as-needed basis for maintenance of the CLR components. The project will not create vegetative surfaces that will require fertilization. The expansion project will not contribute
any new Pollution Generating Impervious Surface (PGIS) or Pollution Generating Pervious Surface (PGPS) since the proposed land cover does not meet the definition of a pollution generating surface. The proposed yard and driveway are infrequently used for maintenance access per the definition in the 2012 SMMWW and 2017 RSWDM. The proposed yard is accessed by approximately one vehicle per month
POWER ENGINEERS, INC.
PAGE 15
by the substation inspector, therefore by definition it is not considered a pollution generating impervious surface and no water quality facilities are required. As a result, the project qualifies for the Surface Area
Exemption from the requirement to provide a water quality facility per Core Requirement #8. Additionally, the Department of Ecology (DOE) in Volume 5 page 4-3 identifies infrequently used
maintenance roads are exempt from treatment as they are not regularly used. Below is the definition of Vehicular Use from the DOE manual.
Vehicular Use: Regular use of an impervious or pervious surface by motor vehicles. The following are subject to regular vehicle use: roads, unvegetated road shoulders, bike lanes within the traveled lane of a roadway, driveways, parking lots, unrestricted access fire lanes, vehicular equipment storage yards, and airport runways. The following are not considered subject to regular vehicle use: paved bicycle pathways separated from and not subject to drainage from roads for motor vehicles, restricted access fire lanes, and infrequently used maintenance access roads.
5.0 CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The 100-year peak flow for the entire site as calculated with AutoDesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis software. The 100-year peak flow was calculated at 3.8 cfs. Therefore, the proposed conveyance channel which has a flow capacity of 4.0 cfs has sufficient capacity to convey the full 100-year peak flow. Design analysis of the existing conveyance system can be found in Appendix H.
6.0 SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES
No special reports or studies have been prepared for this project.
7.0 OTHER PERMITS
Additional permitting is not anticipated to affect the stormwater design.
8.0 CSWPP PLAN ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The CSWPPP for the CLR expansion can be found in Appendix G.
Project construction TESC plans will be implemented for the expansion. The TESC plans and CSWPPP will be used to direct the placement of temporary erosion and sediment control measures to be
implemented during construction which will include; catch basin sediment control, silt fence, dedicated construction entrance, high visibility safety fence and concrete washout facilities.
9.0 BOND QUANTITIES, FACILITY SUMMARIES, AND
DECLARATION OF COVENANT
Bond quantities and the Facility Summary can be found in Appendix E of this report. A Declaration of Covenant is not required for this pond as it is a privately maintained flow control facility.

INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to present this report presenting the results of our permeability testing of typical base course
materials that can be used on Puget Sound Energy (PSE) projects. Our services have been performed in general
accordance with our proposal dated November 25, 2009. You authorized our services on November 30, 2009.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of our services was to obtain representative soil samples meeting the revised PSE Specification
1275.1310 for Base Course Aggregate and to perform laboratory testing. The scope of services completed for the
project is listed below.
1. Review the PSE specification for Base Course Aggregate.
2. Contact four gravel pit operations within the King-Pierce County areas and request that they provide a typical
sample of material that they consider meets the PSE specification. Two of the pits provided a sample, the other
two pits either did not respond to our inquiry or chose to not provide a sample.
3. Collect samples from Miles Sand and Gravel, and CalPortland, and return them to our laboratory.
4. Complete grain-size distribution testing on a representative portion of each soil sample and compare the results
to the PSE specification for Base Course Aggregate.
5. Complete a Proctor test of each sample of Base Course Aggregate.
6. Calculate the void ratio of the compacted soils based on mathematical formulas associated with the Proctor
test.
Puget Sound Energy | December 18, 2009 Page 2
7. Complete permeability testing of each sample using test methods described in American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) D 5084.
Base Course Aggregate
The PSE specification for the Base Course Aggregate is contained in the following table.
TABLE 1. PSE BASE COURSE SPECIFICATION
U.S. STANDARD SIEVE SIZE PERCENT PASSING
(BY WEIGHT)
3 inches 100
3/4 inch 70-90
3/8 inch 60-80
1/4 inch 50-70
No. 40 0-30
No. 200 0-5
The results of grain-size distribution tests of the materials provided by Miles Sand and Gravel and CalPortland are
attached as Figure 1 to this letter. It appears, based on the testing results, that the samples are near or just below
the lower limit boundary for the PSE Base Course Aggregate specification between the 3/8 inch and #10 sieves.
Proctor Testing
Three-point Proctor tests of each entire sample were completed. The results of the tests are as follows:
■ Miles Sand and Gravel, Maximum Dry Density (MDD) of 136.3 pounds per cubic foot at an optimum
moisture content of 7.3 percent.
■ CalPortland, MDD of 134.8 pounds per cubic foot at an optimum moisture content of 5.9 percent
Void Ratio
Void ratios for each of the compacted samples were calculated using assumed soil specific gravities of 2.65 and unit
soil weights equal to 95 percent of the MDD of each soil sample. The calculated void ratios are as follows:
■ Miles Sand and Gravel Sample, 28 percent
■ CalPortland Sample, 29 percent
Permeability Testing
Permeability tests of a compacted column of each soil sample were completed in general accordance with ASTM D
5084 methods. The results of the permeability tests are summarized below
■ Miles Sand and Gravel Sample, 20 inches per hour
■ CalPortland Sample, 15 inches per hour

Geotechnical Engineering Services
Talbot Hill Substation CLR Improvements
Renton, Washington
File No. 0186-953-06
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This letter presents the results of GeoEngineers, Inc. (GeoEngineers) additional geotechnical engineering
services for the proposed current limiting reactor (CLR) improvements at the Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Talbot Hill Substation located at 2400 Puget Drive SE in Renton, Washington. We previously provided
geotechnical recommendations for this project in our revised report dated February 1, 2017 and have
provided geotechnical construction observation services during Phases 1 and 2 of the substation
improvements. This letter incorporates and supersedes a previous draft dated January 25, 2019.
The Talbot Hill substation is located adjacent to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Maple Valley
substation, and the two substations are interconnected. We understand BPA has identified potential risks
to their substation equipment in the event of an interconnection electrical fault. The site is shown in relation
to existing improvements in the Vicinity Map, Figure 1 and the Site Plan, Figure 2.
This project involves constructing six CLRs, one for each phase of the two transmission line interties, which
will act as surge protectors. The CLRs will be installed on elevated pedestals in a new yard area at the
southeast corner of the existing PSE Talbot Hill Substation (approximately 190 feet long and 85 feet wide).
The CLR yard area will be accessed by a new gravel access road. We understand the new yard area will
involve some grading but will not require retaining walls. The existing topography in the area of the proposed
CLR yard is slightly uneven, ranging from Elevation 441 to 445 feet.
Our geotechnical engineering services were completed in accordance with our proposal dated December
10, 2019. Our scope of work included developing geotechnical conclusions and recommendations and
preparing this addendum letter.

SITE CONDITIONS
Based on explorations completed for our previous geotechnical report, the proposed CLR yard area is
underlain by fill and glacial till. Boring GEI-5 was completed in the area of the proposed CLR yard area.
Subsurface conditions observed in this boring (attached for reference) consist of fill overlying glacial till
overlying advance outwash.
The fill generally consists of medium dense silty sand placed during previous regrading at the site, extending
to a depth of 7 feet. The underlying glacial till consists of medium dense to very dense silty sand with
variable gravel content extending to a depth of 23 feet, where it is underlain by advance outwash consisting
of very dense sand with silt.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Critical Areas
We reviewed the City of Renton online maps showing geologic critical areas including coal mine, erosion,
flood, landslide and steep slope hazard areas. The site is not mapped in erosion, seismic or flood hazard
areas.
The site is mapped in a moderate coal mine hazard area. However, based on the depth of historical coal
mining activity and the relatively shallow depth of the proposed improvements, it is our opinion there is a
low coal mine hazard at the site.
The site is mapped in a 25 to 40 percent steep slope area and in a moderate landslide hazard area. It is
our opinion that the proposed improvements and grading will not adversely affect the stability of the slopes
in or around the site.
Based on our evaluation it is our opinion the soils underlying the CLR yard area have a low risk of liquefying
under the design earthquake event. It is also our opinion that soils underlying the site have a low risk of
lateral spread and earthquake-induced slope movement. The site is approximately 5 miles south of the
Seattle Fault Zone. Based on the distance from the mapped fault, it is our opinion there is a low risk of fault
rupture at the site.
Geotechnical Design Recommendations
We recommend the earthquake engineering, foundation design, and earthwork recommendations
previously presented in our geotechnical report be used for design of the proposed CLR improvements.
Stormwater Recommendations
We understand the proposed stormwater improvements will be designed in accordance with the 2017 City
of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5.2 of the
Manual, we evaluated the site for infiltration potential. Due to the presence of shallow, medium dense to
very dense glacial till, it is our opinion infiltration is not feasible on site.

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
This report summarizes the results of GeoEngineers, Inc.’s (GeoEngineers) geotechnical engineering
services for the proposed improvements to the existing Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Talbot substation. The
site is located west of Beacon Way South in Renton, Washington. The site is shown in relation to the
surrounding area on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1, and the Site Plan, Figure 2.
We provided a draft version of this report dated November 3, 2014 and final versions dated July 15, 2015
and December 5, 2016. This revised final report provides updated seismic design recommendations for
the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) per City of Renton review comments and supersedes our
previous reports as described. The 2012 and 2015 IBC seismic design parameters are identical and there
are no changes in our conclusions and recommendations other than the referenced IBC.
We understand PSE is planning several phases of work at the existing 230-kV substation. Phase 1 involves
the replacement of the existing 230 kV transformer located in the middle of the existing substation. The
replacement transformer will be supported on a mat foundation. We understand Phase 1 began permitting
at the end of 2014 and that the construction has been completed.
In 2014, the plan for Phase 2 involved grading to expand the substation to the east, toward Beacon Way
South and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) 230-kV Maple Valley substation located on the east
side of Beacon Way South. Phase 2 also includes construction of new 230-kV dead-end towers as well as
support of light equipment. The dead-end towers may be supported on either mat foundations or on drilled
shafts. We understand that Phase 2 was scaled back from what was originally planned in 2014 and the
substation footprint will not be expanded. We have left recommendations related to the expansion in our
report for documentation purposes.
We understand that stormwater infiltration is not planned at the site, based on the mapped soil conditions.
However, a stormwater detention pond is planned southeast of the existing substation yard.
Our geotechnical engineering services were completed in general accordance with our proposal dated
August 19, 2014. Our scope of work included:
■ Completing seven borings at the site;
■ Completing laboratory testing on selected soil samples from the borings;
■ Providing geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for the proposed improvements; and
■ Preparing this report.
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Field Explorations
The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by completing seven borings (GEI-1 through GEI-7) to
depths of 16½ to 31½ feet below existing site grades. The approximate locations of the borings are shown
on the Site Plan, Figure 2. A detailed description of the field exploration program is presented in Appendix A.
February 1, 2017 | Page 2 File No. 0186-953-00
Laboratory Testing
Soil samples were obtained during the exploration program and taken to GeoEngineers’ laboratory for
further evaluation. Selected samples were tested for the determination of percent fines, moisture content,
and grain size distribution (sieve analysis). A description of the laboratory testing and the test results are
presented in Appendix A or on the exploration logs, as appropriate.
SITE CONDITIONS
Geology
We reviewed available geologic maps, including the “Geologic map of the Renton quadrangle,
King County, Washington” (D.R. Mullineaux, 1965) and the “Geologic Map of King County, Washington”
(D. B. Booth et al. 2007). The soils mapped in the project vicinity are predominantly glacial till (Qvt), but
include localized areas of ice-contact glacial deposits (Qvi) overlying the till.
Glacial till typically consists of a dense to very dense heterogeneous mixture of sand, gravel, cobbles and
occasional boulders in a silt and clay matrix that were deposited beneath a glacier. A zone of weathered till
typically overlies the glacial till to depths of several feet below the ground surface. The ice-contact deposits
tend to be similar in character to the till, but are less dense.
Advance outwash is interpreted below the glacial till, based on the subsurface explorations and the geologic
maps. Advance outwash generally consists of dense to very dense sand and gravel deposited by streams
and rivers issuing from advancing ice sheets and subsequently overridden by a glacier.
Surface Conditions
The existing substation is bounded by Beacon Way South to the east, and undeveloped properties to the
north, west and south. The substation is accessed by a gravel driveway off Puget Drive SE and connects to
the south side of the existing substation. The substation yard is relatively flat and is surfaced with yard rock.
Transmission lines generally run east and west from the substation. These include two sets of lines that
connect this substation with the BPA Maple Valley substation to the east.
The topography in the area of the proposed expansion is hummocky and irregular and is about 10 feet
higher than the substation and approximately 15 feet higher than Beacon Way South.
Vegetation in the expansion area consists of deciduous trees near the southeast corner of the existing
substation and brush and blackberries in the other undeveloped areas.
There is a city of Seattle water main that runs along Beacon Way South and an underground cable that
connects the PSE and BPA substations. The approximate locations of the water main and underground
cable are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. Other utilities may be present.
Subsurface Conditions
We explored subsurface conditions at the substation site by drilling seven borings (GEI-1 through GEI-7) at
the locations shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. Appendix A presents details of the field exploration and
laboratory testing programs, including logs of borings.
February 1, 2017 | Page 3 File No. 0186-953-00
Borings GEI-1 through GEI-4 were completed inside the existing substation and encountered approximately
2 to 7 feet of fill overlying glacial till. The fill generally consisted of loose sand and silty sand with variable
gravel content. The glacial till generally consisted of dense to very dense silty sand with variable gravel
content and extended to depths of 7 to 23 feet. Advance outwash consisting of very dense sand was
encountered below the glacial till in all four borings and extended to the depths explored (21½ to 31½ feet).
Borings GEI-5 through GEI-7 were completed in the area of the proposed expansion and encountered
approximately 2 to 7 feet of fill consisting of loose sand and organic-rich topsoil and duff overlying glacial
till. The glacial till generally consisted of dense to very dense silty sand with variable gravel content and
extended to depths of 8 to 23 feet. Advance outwash consisting over very dense sand was encountered in
all three borings below the glacial till and extended to the depths explored (16½ to 31½ feet).
Groundwater was not encountered during drilling, as noted on the exploration logs. These observations
represent a short-term condition that may not be representative of the long-term groundwater conditions
at the site. Groundwater conditions observed during drilling should be considered approximate.
Groundwater level is anticipated to vary as a function of precipitation, season and other factors.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Critical Areas
We reviewed the City of Renton online maps with regard to geologic critical areas including coal mine,
erosion, flood, landslide and steep slope hazard areas. The site is not mapped in erosion or flood hazard
areas.
The site is mapped in a moderate coal mine hazard area. However, based on the depth of historical coal
mining activity and the relatively shallow depth of the proposed improvements, it is our opinion there is a
low coal mine hazard at the site.
The site is mapped in a 25 to 40 percent steep slope area and in a moderate landslide hazard area. It is
our opinion that the proposed improvements will not adversely affect the stability of the slopes in or around
the site.
Based on our evaluation it is our opinion the soils underlying the substation site have a low risk of liquefying
under the design earthquake event. It is also our opinion that soils underlying the site have a low risk of
lateral spread and earthquake-induced slope movement. The site is approximately 5 miles south of the
Seattle Fault Zone, which is thought to have a recurrence interval on the order of 1,000 years. Based on
the distance from the nearest mapped fault, it is our opinion there is a low risk of fault rupture at the site.

2015 IBC Seismic Design Information
We recommend the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) parameters for Soil Profile Type, short period
spectral response acceleration (SS), 1-second period spectral response acceleration (S1), and Seismic
Coefficients FA and FV presented in the following table:
February 1, 2017 | Page 4 File No. 0186-953-00
2015 IBC PARAMETERS
2015 IBC Parameter Recommended Value
Soil Profile Type C
Short Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SS (percent g) 141.3
1-Second Period Spectral Response Acceleration, S1 (percent g) 52.8

Seismic Coefficient, FV 1.30
Peak Ground Acceleration, PGA (percent g) 58.0
Note:
The above spectral response accelerations are based on data from the United States Geologic Survey (USGS)
National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project.
Shallow and Mat Foundations
General
It is our opinion the proposed structures (replacement 230 kV transformer, breakers, switches and other
electrical equipment) may be supported on conventional spread footings or mat foundations bearing on
either dense to very dense soils where present at foundation depth, or on a minimum of 2 feet of compacted
structural fill in areas of loose to medium dense soils present at foundation depth. Due to space limitations,
we understand drilled shafts are preferred for support of the dead-end towers. Our recommendations for
drilled shaft foundations are discussed in the “Drilled Shafts” section.
Bearing Pressure
Allowable Stress Design (ASD). Spread footings may be designed using an allowable soil bearing pressure of
3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). Mat foundations may be designed for an allowable bearing pressure
of 1,500 psf. The allowable soil bearing pressures apply to the total of dead and long-term live loads and
may be increased by up to one-third for transient loads such as wind or seismic forces. A subgrade modulus
of 180 pounds per cubic inch (pci) may be used for the design of mat foundations.
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). A bearing capacity chart for spread footings is presented in
Figure 3. We recommend the LRFD resistance factors listed in the table below be used when evaluating
strength, service and extreme limit states for spread footings. The chart is based on a 5-foot wide footing
with varying lengths and may conservatively be used for wider footings. The chart was developed in
accordance with American Associate of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) methods, in
conjunction with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) standards, as summarized in
the WSDOT Geotechnical Design Manual.

Service 1.0 1.0 1.0
Extreme 0.9 0.9 0.9
February 1, 2017 | Page 5 File No. 0186-953-00
Embedment
In general, we recommend that the bottom of foundations be embedded at least 24 inches below the lowest
adjacent grade for frost protection. The foundation embedment depth may be reduced to 18 inches for
small, lightly loaded footings where frost action will not affect equipment performance, or an additional
6-inch-thick layer of gravel that is not susceptible to frost may be placed below the foundations to achieve
an embedment of 24 inches. The gravel should meet the requirements of “yard course” surfacing material
presented in the “Structural Fill” section of this report.
Settlement
Provided all loose soil is removed and the subgrade is prepared as recommended under the “Construction
Considerations” section below, we estimate that the total settlement of shallow foundations will be on the
order of ½ to 1 inch, with the higher end of that settlement range anticipated in the southwest corner of
the substation that is underlain by looser soils. The settlements will occur rapidly, essentially as loads are
applied. Differential settlements between comparably loaded foundations are expected to be less than
½ inch.
Lateral Resistance
Lateral foundation loads may be resisted by passive resistance on the sides of foundations and by friction
on the base of the foundations. For foundations supported on native soils or on structural fill placed and
compacted in accordance with our recommendations, the allowable frictional resistance may be computed
using a coefficient of friction of 0.4 applied to vertical dead-load forces.
The allowable passive resistance may be computed using an equivalent fluid density of 250 pounds per
cubic foot (pcf) (triangular distribution) if these elements are poured directly against compacted native soils
or surrounded by compacted structural fill. The structural fill should extend out from the face of the
foundation element for a distance at least equal to three times the height of the element and be compacted
to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density (MDD).
The above coefficient of friction and passive equivalent fluid density values incorporate a factor of safety
of about 1.5.
Construction Considerations
Following excavation for foundations, we recommend the condition of each footing excavation be observed
by a qualified geotechnical engineer to evaluate if the work is completed in accordance with our
recommendations and that the subsurface conditions are as anticipated. Areas of loose or soft soils present
at the foundation subgrade elevation should be overexcavated to a maximum depth of 2 feet and replaced
with compacted structural fill. In such instances, the zone of structural fill should extend laterally beyond
the footing edges a horizontal distance at least equal to the thickness of the fill. A geotextile separator
fabric may be used at the base of the overexcavation if loose/soft soils extend below the depth of the
overexcavation.

Drilled Shafts
General
The proposed new 230-kV dead-end towers as well as lightly-loaded equipment may be supported on drilled
shafts. We recommend that the drilled shafts extend to a depth of at least 15 feet below the existing ground
surface. We should review the final dead-end tower locations when available and provide modifications to
these recommendations if appropriate.
Axial Capacity
The applied axial loads on the drilled shafts for the dead-end towers are generally very small in comparison
to the applied overturning moments, resulting from the tension in the wires along with possible ice and
wind loading. The axial capacity of the drilled shafts in compression will be developed primarily from friction
and end bearing in the medium dense to dense soils. Provided the drilled shafts are embedded at least
15 feet below the existing ground surface and into dense soils at the tip elevation, we anticipate that the
allowable axial capacity for shafts at least 3 feet in diameter will be greater than 100 kips.
Lateral Capacity
The design of the drilled shafts will be governed by the lateral loads on the structures. The lateral capacity
of the drilled shafts will develop from the stiffness of the drilled shaft and the lateral resistance of the soil
surrounding the drilled shaft.
We anticipate that the shafts will be designed using the L-PILETM program. For evaluation of the lateral load
behavior of the drilled shafts, the parameters in the tables below can be used as input soil parameters for
the L-PILETM program. The table below may conservatively be used for all the drilled shafts.

Effective Unit Weight (lb/ft3) 125 135 135
Friction Angle (degrees) 32 38 38
p-y Modulus, k (lb/in3) 25 200 150
Drilled Shaft Settlement
We estimate that post-construction settlement of drilled shaft foundations, designed and installed as
recommended, will be on the order of ½ inch or less. Maximum differential settlement of similarly loaded
shaft foundations should be less than about one-half the post-construction settlement. Most of this
settlement will occur rapidly as loads are applied.
Construction Considerations
Temporary casing may be required to keep the drilled holes open while drilling through the zones of sandier
soils. The contractor may attempt to drill the holes without casing but should have temporary casing
available for use if sloughing and caving occurs. Although not encountered in our explorations, cobbles and
February 1, 2017 | Page 7 File No. 0186-953-00
boulders may be present. The excavation contractor should be prepared for these conditions. Groundwater
was not encountered in our explorations. However, as discussed above, groundwater may be present
depending on the conditions at the time of construction and again the contractor should be prepared to
deal with these conditions. We recommend that the drilled shaft foundation excavations be observed by
GeoEngineers.
Retaining Walls
General
We anticipate retaining walls may be used in conjunction with fill and cut slopes for grade transitions in the
area of the substation expansion. Based on the available space, we anticipate concrete block walls (gravity
and/or reinforced) will be the preferred wall type. This type of retaining structure is moderately
settlement-sensitive, and suitable foundation support is important. We anticipate that some overexcavation
of loose soils will be required to achieve suitable foundation support.
We can provide recommendations for design of retaining walls once the wall geometries are better defined.
Infiltration
It may be possible to design stormwater facilities for infiltration, provided the base of the facilities extends
to the advance outwash. This may be impractical considering the grades at the site, but we can provide
infiltration recommendations if this appears feasible.
Stormwater Pond
We understand the stormwater pond is planned with 2H:1V (horizontal:vertical) side slopes and a depth of
up to 7 feet in the middle. We recommend the side slopes be protected from erosion.
Earthwork
We understand that earthwork was planned as part of Phase 2 of this project but is no longer anticipated.
Regardless, our recommendations for earthwork are presented below.
Clearing
Removal and demolition of existing site improvements and structures associated with the existing
substation should include removal of foundation elements. Existing voids or new depressions created
during demolition and site preparation should be cleaned of loose soil or debris and backfilled with
compacted structural fill.
Subgrade Preparation
New foundation subgrade areas should be evaluated after site grading and foundation excavation is
completed. Probing should be used to evaluate the subgrade; soft areas noted during probing should be
overexcavated and replaced with compacted structural fill as described in the “Shallow and Mat
Foundations” section.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend upon construction methods, slope length
and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type, construction sequencing and weather.
February 1, 2017 | Page 8 File No. 0186-953-00
Temporary erosion protection should be used and maintained in areas with exposed or disturbed soils to
help reduce the potential for erosion and reduce transport of sediment to adjacent areas and receiving
waters. Temporary erosion protection should include the construction of a silt fence around the perimeter
of the work area prior to the commencement of grading activities. Permanent erosion protection should be
provided by re-establishing vegetation or surfacing with rock.
Until the permanent erosion protection is established and the site is stabilized, site monitoring should be
performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the effectiveness of the erosion control measures and repair
and/or modify them as appropriate. Provisions for modifications to the erosion control system based on
monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and sedimentation control plan.
Structural Fill
Materials
Materials used for support of structures or pavements or for utility trench backfill are classified as structural
fill for the purpose of this report. Structural fill material quality varies depending upon its use as described
below:
1. On-site soils may be used as structural fill to support substation equipment provided it can be
appropriately moisture conditioned to achieve the required compaction. If on-site soils cannot be
moisture-conditioned, imported gravel borrow for support of substation equipment should conform to
PSE Base Course Aggregate Specification 1275.1310 as described in the following table:
BASE COURSE GRADATION
US Standard Sieve Size Percent Passing (by weight)
3 inch 100
¾ inch 70-90
⅜ inch 60-80
¼ inch 50-70
U.S. No. 40 < 30
U.S. No. 200 < 5
2. Structural fill placed as “yard course crushed aggregate” surfacing material should be angular crushed
rock conforming to PSE Specification 1275.1330 as described in the following table:
YARD COURSE GRADATION
US Standard Sieve Size Percent Passing (by weight)
1½ inches 100
1 inch 60 to 100
¾ or ⅝ inch 0 to 35
⅜ inch 0 to 5
February 1, 2017 | Page 9 File No. 0186-953-00
On-site Soils
The on-site soils generally contain a significant amount of fines and are moisture sensitive. These soils
generally meet the criteria for common borrow and are suitable for use as structural fill only if construction
takes place during the drier summer months. Additional considerations for wet weather construction are
presented below in the “Weather Considerations” section.
Fill Placement and Compaction Criteria
Structural fill should be mechanically compacted to a firm, non-yielding condition. In general, structural fill
should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 to 10 inches in thickness. Each lift should be conditioned to
the proper moisture content and compacted to the specified density before placing subsequent lifts.
Structural fill should be compacted to the following criteria:
■ Structural fill placed below foundations or to establish yard subgrade should be compacted to at least
95 percent of the MDD estimated in accordance with ASTM D 1557.
We recommend that a representative from our firm be present during probing of the exposed subgrade
soils in structure areas prior to the placement of structural fill and during the placement of structural fill.
Our representative would evaluate the adequacy of the subgrade soils and identify areas needing further
work, perform in-place moisture-density tests in the fill to evaluate if the work is being done in accordance
with the compaction specifications, and advise on any modifications to procedures that may be appropriate
for the prevailing conditions.
Weather Considerations
The on-site soils contain a sufficient percentage of fines (silt) to be moisture sensitive. If the moisture
content of these soils is appreciably above the optimum moisture content, these soils become muddy and
unstable. During wet weather, operation of equipment on these soils will be difficult, and it will be difficult
to meet the required compaction criteria.
The wet weather season generally begins in early November and continues through March in Western
Washington; however, periods of wet weather may occur during any month of the year. The optimum
earthwork period for these types of soils is typically July through October. If wet weather earthwork is
unavoidable, we recommend that:
■ Structural fill placed during the wet season or during periods of wet weather consist of gravel borrow
conforming to PSE Base Course Aggregate Specification 1275.1310.
■ The ground surface in and around the work area be sloped so that surface water is directed away from
the work area. The ground surface should be graded such that areas of ponded water do not develop.
Measures should be taken by the contractor to prevent surface water from collecting in excavations
and trenches. Measures should be implemented to remove surface water from the work area.
Temporary Slopes
The soils encountered at the site are classified as Type C soil, in accordance with the provisions of
Title 296 WAC (Washington Administrative Code), Part N, “Excavation, Trenching and Shoring.” We
recommend that temporary slopes in excess of 4 feet in height excavated in the on-site soils be inclined no
steeper than 1½H:1V. Flatter slopes may be necessary if localized sloughing occurs. For open cuts at the
site we recommend that:
February 1, 2017 | Page 10 File No. 0186-953-00
■ No traffic, construction equipment, stockpiles or building supplies be allowed at the top of the cut
slopes within a horizontal distance of at least 5 feet from the top of the cut.
■ Exposed soil along the slope be protected from surface erosion using waterproof tarps or plastic
sheeting.
■ Construction activities be scheduled so that the length of time the temporary cut is left open is kept as
short as possible.
■ Erosion control measures be implemented as appropriate such that runoff from the site is reduced to
the extent practical.
■ Surface water is diverted away from the excavation.
■ The general condition of the slopes be observed periodically by a geotechnical engineer to confirm
adequate stability.
Since the contractor has control of the construction operations, the contractor should be made responsible
for the stability of cut slopes, as well as the safety of the excavations. All shoring and temporary slopes
must conform to applicable local, state and federal safety regulations.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTING
Field Explorations
Subsurface conditions were explored at the site by completing seven borings (GEI-1 through GEI-7). The
borings were completed by Geologic Drill Exploration, Inc. of Spokane, Washington, on September 25 and
26, 2014. The locations of the explorations were estimated in the field by measuring distances from site
features through taping and pacing. The approximate exploration locations are shown on the Site Plan,
Figure 2.
Borings
The drilling contractor hand dug to a depth of 2 feet at each boring location to be clear of the grounding
grid before drilling. The borings were drilled using a tracked Bobcat-mounted hollow-stem auger drill rig.
The borings were continuously observed by a geotechnical engineer from our firm who examined and
classified the soils encountered, obtained representative soil samples, observed groundwater conditions
and prepared a detailed log of each boring.
Soils encountered in the borings were visually classified in general accordance with the classification
system described in Figure A-1. A key to the exploration log symbols is also presented in Figure A-1. The
logs of the borings are presented in Figures A-2 through A-8. The logs reflect our interpretation of the field
conditions and the results of laboratory testing and evaluation of samples. They also indicate the depths at
which the soil types or their characteristics change, although the change might actually be gradual.
The borings were backfilled in accordance with Washington State Department of Ecology standards. The
top 6 inches of yard rock was replaced over the completed boring to match existing yard rock.
Groundwater Conditions
Observations of groundwater conditions were made during drilling and are noted on the exploration logs;
these observations represent a short-term condition that may not be representative of the long-term
groundwater conditions at the site. Groundwater conditions observed during drilling should be considered
approximate.
Laboratory Testing
Soil samples obtained from the field explorations were transported to our laboratory and examined to
confirm or modify field classifications, as well as to evaluate index properties of the soil samples.
Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing consisting of the determination of the percent
fines (material passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve), moisture content and grain size distribution (sieve analysis).
The tests were performed in general accordance with test methods of the ASTM International (ASTM) or
other applicable procedures.
Percent Passing U.S. No. 200 Sieve
Selected samples were “washed” through the U.S. No. 200 mesh sieve to determine the relative
percentages of coarse and fine-grained particles in the soil. The percent passing value represents the
percentage by weight of the sample finer than the U.S. No. 200 sieve. These tests were conducted to verify
February 1, 2017 | Page A-2 File No. 0186-953-00
field descriptions and to determine the fines content for analysis purposes. The tests were conducted in
general accordance with ASTM D 1140, and the results are shown on the exploration logs at the respective
sample depths.
Moisture Content Testing
Moisture content tests were completed using ASTM D 2216 for representative samples obtained from the
explorations. The results of these tests are presented on the exploration logs at the depths where the
samples were obtained.
Sieve Analyses
Sieve analyses were performed on selected samples in general accordance with ASTM D 422 to determine
the sample grain size distribution. The wet sieve analysis method was used to determine the percentage of
soil greater than the U.S. No. 200 mesh sieve. The results of the sieve analyses were plotted, were classified
in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), and are presented in Figures A-9
and A-10.
Sheen Classification
NOTE: The reader must refer to the discussion in the report text and the logs of explorations for a proper understanding of subsurface
conditions. Descriptions on the logs apply only at the specific exploration locations and at the time the explorations were made; they arenot warranted to be representative of subsurface conditions at other locations or times.

APPENDIX B
REPORT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE1
This appendix provides information to help you manage your risks with respect to the use of this report.
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons and Projects
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Puget Sound Energy and their authorized agents.
This report may be made available to prospective contractors for their bidding or estimating purposes, but
our report, conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface
conditions. This report is not intended for use by others, and the information contained herein is not
applicable to other sites.
GeoEngineers structures our services to meet the specific needs of our clients. For example, a geotechnical
or geologic study conducted for a civil engineer or architect may not fulfill the needs of a construction
contractor or even another civil engineer or architect that are involved in the same project. Because each
geotechnical or geologic study is unique, each geotechnical engineering or geologic report is unique,
prepared solely for the specific client and project site. Our report is prepared for the exclusive use of our
Client. No other party may rely on the product of our services unless we agree in advance to such reliance
in writing. This is to provide our firm with reasonable protection against open-ended liability claims by third
parties with which there would otherwise be no contractual limits to their actions. Within the limitations of
scope, schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with our Agreement with the
Client and generally accepted geotechnical practices in this area at the time this report was prepared. This
report should not be applied for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated.
A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Is Based on a Unique Set of Project-Specific
Factors
This report has been prepared for the proposed improvements to the Talbot Substation located in Renton,
Washington. GeoEngineers considered a number of unique, project-specific factors when establishing the
scope of services for this project and report. Unless GeoEngineers specifically indicates otherwise, do not
rely on this report if it was:
■ not prepared for you,
■ not prepared for your project,
■ not prepared for the specific site explored, or
■ completed before important project changes were made.
1 Developed based on material provided by ASFE, Professional Firms Practicing in the Geosciences; www.asfe.org.
February 1, 2017 | Page B-2 File No. 0186-953-00
For example, changes that can affect the applicability of this report include those that affect:
■ the function of the proposed structure;
■ elevation, configuration, location, orientation or weight of the proposed structure;
■ composition of the design team; or
■ project ownership.
If important changes are made after the date of this report, GeoEngineers should be given the opportunity
to review our interpretations and recommendations and provide written modifications or confirmation, as
appropriate.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed.
The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by manmade events
such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope
instability or groundwater fluctuations. Always contact GeoEngineers before applying a report to determine
if it remains applicable.
Most Geotechnical and Geologic Findings Are Professional Opinions
Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling
locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface
tests are conducted or samples are taken. GeoEngineers reviewed field and laboratory data and then
applied our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site.
Actual subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from those indicated in this report. Our
report, conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions.
Geotechnical Engineering Report Recommendations Are Not Final
Do not over-rely on the preliminary construction recommendations included in this report. These
recommendations are not final, because they were developed principally from GeoEngineers’ professional
judgment and opinion. GeoEngineers’ recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual
subsurface conditions revealed during construction. GeoEngineers cannot assume responsibility or liability
for this report's recommendations if we do not perform construction observation.
Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by GeoEngineers should be provided during construction to
confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide
recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those
anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not earthwork activities are completed in accordance with our
recommendations. Retaining GeoEngineers for construction observation for this project is the most
effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions.
February 1, 2017 | Page B-3 File No. 0186-953-00
A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Could Be Subject to Misinterpretation
Misinterpretation of this report by other design team members can result in costly problems. You could
lower that risk by having GeoEngineers confer with appropriate members of the design team after
submitting the report. Also retain GeoEngineers to review pertinent elements of the design team's plans
and specifications. Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering or geologic report. Reduce
that risk by having GeoEngineers participate in pre-bid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing
construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Exploration Logs
Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation
of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical
engineering or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design
drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs
from the report can elevate risk.
Give Contractors a Complete Report and Guidance
Some owners and design professionals believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated
subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems,
give contractors the complete geotechnical engineering or geologic report, but preface it with a clearly
written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes
of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with GeoEngineers
and/or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A pre-bid
conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only
then might an owner be in a position to give contractors the best information available, while requiring them
to at least share the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Further, a
contingency for unanticipated conditions should be included in your project budget and schedule.
Contractors Are Responsible for Site Safety on Their Own Construction Projects
Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor’s procedures, methods,
schedule or management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for
managing construction operations to minimize risks to on-site personnel and to adjacent properties.
Read These Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices
(geotechnical engineering or geology) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science
disciplines. This lack of understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to
disappointments, claims and disputes. GeoEngineers includes these explanatory “limitations” provisions in
our reports to help reduce such risks. Please confer with GeoEngineers if you are unclear how these “Report
Limitations and Guidelines for Use” apply to your project or site.
Geotechnical, Geologic and Environmental Reports Should Not Be Interchanged
The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from
those used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, a geotechnical
engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or
February 1, 2017 | Page B-4 File No. 0186-953-00
recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated
contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns
regarding a specific project.
Biological Pollutants
GeoEngineers’ Scope of Work specifically excludes the investigation, detection, prevention or assessment
of the presence of Biological Pollutants. Accordingly, this report does not include any interpretations,
recommendations, findings, or conclusions regarding the detecting, assessing, preventing or abating of
Biological Pollutants and no conclusions or inferences should be drawn regarding Biological Pollutants, as
they may relate to this project. The term “Biological Pollutants” includes, but is not limited to, molds, fungi,
spores, bacteria, and viruses, and/or any of their byproducts.
If Client desires these specialized services, they should be obtained from a consultant who offers services
in this specialized field.

1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit requirements for the proposed work associated with the Talbot Hill Substation CLR Expansion project. This SWPPP will be revised as necessary to reflect the Contractor’s means and methods and all revisions will follow the best management practices (BMPs) presented in this SWPPP. The purpose of this SWPPP is to describe the proposed construction activities and all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control (TESC) measures, pollution prevention measures,
inspection/monitoring activities, and recordkeeping that will be implemented during the proposed utility work. The objectives of the SWPPP are to:
1. Implement BMPs to prevent erosion and sedimentation, and to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater contamination and water pollution from construction activity. 2. Prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or sediment management standards. 3. Prevent adverse water quality impacts during the construction phase, including impacts on beneficial uses of the receiving water by controlling peak flow rates and volumes of stormwater runoff at the Permittee’s outfalls and downstream of the outfalls.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Existing Conditions
The Talbot Substation covers approximately 7.75 acres between Beacon Way South, South Puget Drive, and Grant Ave South in Renton. The site is located near the top of a ridge and is primarily accessed from South Puget Drive, which ties into a gravel driveway leading to the site. The topography inside the substation slopes slightly away from the center to promote drainage away from electrical equipment. The existing grade outside the substation fence generally slopes away from the substation except on the eastern and northwestern sides where there is elevated terrain. In general stormwater runoff flows from north to south across the expansion area. The runoff from the CLR expansion area will flow south into the existing detention pond between the substation and access road. This route presents the least constrained flow path for stormwater to exit the project area. The pond
is then drained by a flow control structure and pipe network which discharges to a natural area south of the pond.
Seven borings were performed as part of a geotechnical study at the project area. Five of these borings were performed inside the substation, and these discovered several feet of fill soils overlying seven to twenty-three feet of glacial till. In the area of the existing stormwater detention pond two borings were

performed which discovered several feet of loose sand and organic topsoil overlying glacial till. Advance outwash deposits were found below the till soils in all boring samples. No groundwater was encountered at the project site (GeoEngineers, 2016). TABLE 1 SITE STATISTICS

3.0 ESC MEASURES
3.1 Proposed BMPs
Clearing Limits To protect adjacent properties and reduce the volume of soil exposed to construction, construction limits will be clearly marked where necessary before construction begins. Ground disturbing activity will
include grading for the CLR pad and the new access road construction. Natural vegetation and topsoil at the project area shall be retained to the maximum extent feasible. High visibility fence and silt fence BMPs will be used around the perimeter of the project area to ensure disturbance is kept to a minimum outside the work area.
Installation Schedules: High visibility fence and silt fence will be installed before site disturbing
activities begin.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect the fence once every calendar week, and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the project site. Repair any damage to the high visibility fence immediately. Cover Measures As the project is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest, no soils shall remain exposed and unworked for more than seven days during the dry season (May 1 to September 30) and two days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). Between these times, exposed soils stored aboveground shall be protected with straw, wood fiber mulch, compost, plastic sheeting, or equivalent. Regardless of time, all soils shall be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend, and if needed, based on weather forecasts. Any areas expected to remain unworked for greater than 30 days must be seeded or sodded (King County, 1998). During the wet season, soil stockpiles with slopes greater than or equal to
3H:1V, or with over ten feet of vertical relief must be covered if they will remain unworked for over 12 hours. During the wet season sufficient cover materials to stabilize all disturbed areas must be stockpiled on site, and the Wet Season Provisions of Section D.5.s of the King County Erosion and Sediment
Control Standards must be followed (King County, 1998). Permanent stabilization will be achieved by placement of yard rock within the CLR pad, road gravel along the new access road, and seeding at all grading peripheral to the pad and road where disturbed areas will not receive gravel or rock cover.
Installation Schedules: BMPs will be installed as necessary on a temporary basis during construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect once every calendar week, and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the project site. Repair or replace damaged BMPs immediately. Perimeter Protection Vegetation and slope characteristics vary within the project area. The eastern edge of the project area is elevated stormwater will exit the project site primarily to the south and southwest. Silt fence will be installed down gradient of disturbed areas to ensure no contaminated stormwater exits the project area.

PAGE 6
Concrete will be poured on site for proposed electrical equipment foundations within the new CLR pad. All concrete at the project area will be handled such that no cementitious material will enter stormwater runoff.
Installation Schedules: Silt fence will be installed prior to ground disturbing activities. Concrete pouring and handling procedures will be adhered to at all times.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect once every calendar week, and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the project site. Repair or replace damaged BMPs immediately. Traffic Area Stabilization
The project area will be accessed from the existing access road located on the southern edge of the substation. This access road is a stabilized surface and does not require additional stabilization. Proposed access road paving will occur from the existing access road. Surface Water Collection Outlet protection has been installed at the outlet of the existing stormwater detention pond. Installation Schedules: Existing stormwater detention pond is already completed. Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect once every calendar week, and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the project site. If there is scour observed at the outlet, the
eroded area shall be protected with more conservative measures. Dewatering Control Dewatering is not anticipated at the project site, as groundwater was not encountered during field activities performed by GeoEngineers (GeoEngineers, 2016).
Dust Control Wind transport of soils is not anticipated at the project site. Exposed soils will be stabilized and will not remain exposed for long periods of time. Flow Control The project area triggers Core Requirement #3: Flow Control. The existing stormwater detention pond control structure will be modified to maintain function as flow control facility’s and restrict flow rates exiting the site to acceptable limits.
3.2 Maintain BMPs
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs will be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Maintenance and repair will be conducted as noted above. Visual monitoring of the BMPs will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the project site. If the project site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency will be reduced to once every month (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2012).
POWER ENGINEERS, INC.
PAGE 7
All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs will be removed within 30 days after the final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. Trapped sediment will be removed and disposed of in an approved offsite location. Disturbed soil resulting from removal of BMPs or vegetation will be permanently stabilized.
3.3 Manage the Project
Sediment and erosion will be controlled locally around excavations and all TESC measures will be
maintained in a functional condition at all times. 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, 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 days following the inspection. The SWPPP will be updated, maintained, and implemented in accordance with Special Conditions S3, S4, and S9 of the CSWGP. Site inspections will be conducted in accordance with Special Condition S4 of the CSWGP.
4.0 RECOMMENDED CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. Pre-construction meeting.
2. Post notice of construction activity sign with name and phone number of CESCL.
3. Flag or fence clearing limits.
4. Install catch basin protection where required.
5. Install perimeter protection (silt fence).
6. Construct surface water controls simultaneously with clearing and grading for project development.
7. Maintain erosion control measures in accordance with City of Renton Standards and Manufacturers recommendations.
8. Relocate surface water controls and erosion control measures or install new measurers so that as site conditions change the erosion and sediment control is always in accordance with the City of Renton Erosion and Sediment Control Standards.
9. Cover all areas that will be unworked for more than seven days during the dry season or two days
during the wet season with straw, wood fiber mulch, compost, plastic sheeting, or equivalent.
10. Stabilize all areas that reach final grade within seven days.
11. Seed or sod any areas to remain unworked for more than 30 days.
12. Upon completion of the project, all disturbed areas must be stabilized, and best management practices removed if appropriate

1 Project Overview
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is proposing a series of improvements at their Talbot
Substation located in Renton, Washington. A copy of the TIR Worksheet (Figure 1) is
located below. Figure 2 below shows the site location and adjacent critical areas.
Proposed improvements will occur on the eastern side of the substation (referred to as
the project area), and will include the installation of foundations, security perimeter fence,
landscape screening, paving of a small portion of the access road, installation of a new
stormwater drainage and flow control system, road maintenance, and on-site oil spill
control best management practices (BMPs). The extent of disturbance will be
approximately 5.89 acres. Approximately 4.17 acres will consist of gravel road and
surface improvements. Another 1.22 acres will be for the installation of new foundations
and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) structures. The remaining
0.5 acres will be for installation of a stormwater detention pond. The existing site
contains electrical structures, and yard rock covers the ground surface. The existing and
proposed conditions as well as the site constraints are described below.
1.1 Existing Conditions
1.1.1 Topography
The Talbot substation covers approximately 7.75 acres between Beacon Way South,
South Puget Drive, and Grant Ave South in Renton, Washington, as shown in Figure 2.
The site is located near the top of a ridge and is primarily accessed from South Puget
Drive, which ties into a gravel driveway leading to the site. The topography inside the
substation slopes slightly away from the center to promote drainage away from electrical
equipment. The existing grade outside the substation fence generally slopes away from
the substation except on the eastern and northwestern sides where there is elevated
terrain.
1.1.2 Drainage
In general stormwater runoff flows outwards from the middle of the substation. Existing
drainage pipes on the northeast and southeast sides of the substation are tied to catch
basins within the fence line whose rims are slightly raised above the yard rock,
preventing them from capturing flow. The perimeter path on the northeastern side of the
substation is higher than the existing grade within the fence line, preventing flow from
draining off the site along this edge. An elevated field along the eastern edge of the site
prevents drainage away from the substation on this side. Runoff along the northeastern,
eastern, and southeastern sides of the substation therefore tends to pond within the
substation and infiltrate. Along the southern edge of the substation, runoff is able to flow
south across the southern perimeter path and into a depression located between the
substation and access road. This route presents the path of least resistance for
stormwater. The depression is drained by a culvert beneath the access road to a second
depression which drains eastwards, towards Grant Avenue South. Existing drainage
patterns are shown in Figure 3. Existing soil types can be found on Figure 4.

1.2 Proposed Conditions
Proposed conditions will include a re-graded gravel surface within the substation
(approximately 3.43 acres), additional SPCC structures and equipment foundations
(approximately 1.22 acres), re-grading of gravel and asphalt roads (approximately 0.74
acres), and the addition of a pond for flow control (approximately 0.5 acres). The
proposed conditions will increase impervious area at the site by approximately 15%. This
percentage is primarily due to the addition of the SPCC structures and equipment
foundations, as well as asphalt entries to the gravel access driveways. Yard rock
surfaces will only be replaced or re-graded, they will not be added.
The gravel surface inside the fence line of the substation will be re-graded to smooth any
slight depressions in the gravel, promote flow to catch basins, and subsequently limit
ponding around electrical equipment and structures. The proposed improvements will not
significantly modify the grade of the existing substation or access roads.
The impervious SPCC structures and equipment foundations will be added within the
substation fence. The asphalt surface will be added at the intersection of the gravel
access way and South Puget Drive.
Drainage improvements include a new stormwater conveyance network inside the
substation which will route flows to a 75,000 cubic foot stormwater detention pond
located along the southeastern edge of the substation. This pond will discharge to a
depression on the southern side of the existing access road, where flow will resume the
existing drainage path towards Grant Avenue South. Proposed drainage facilities can be
found on Figure 3.
Landscape screening will be installed along the southwest side of the substation property
border and the perimeter of the pond. Landscaping will replace non-native plant cover
such as blackberry shrubs and non-native grasses.
2 Conditions and Requirements Summary
The project is subject to the City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), as well as the City of Renton Municipal
Code. According to Section 1.1.1 of the City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM
(COR SWDM), projects resulting in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious
surface, replaced impervious surface, or new plus impervious surface, or 7,000 square
feet or more of land disturbing activity require a Drainage Review. Additionally, per
Section 1.1.2 of the COR SWDM projects which result in greater than 2,000 square feet
of new impervious surface and greater than 35,000 square feet of pervious surface are
required to perform a Full Drainage Review. Figure 5 contains the Flow Chart for
Determining Type of Drainage Review Required and shows that the project requires a
Full Drainage Review. Projects undergoing a Full Drainage Review must meet the Core
Requirements and Special Requirements contained in the COR SWDM. These
requirements are broken down and discussed in greater detail below.
Technical Information Report
Talbot Substation Stormwater Support
November 16, 2016 | 3
2.1 Core Requirement #1: Discharge at the Natural
Location
Proposed projects must discharge runoff at the natural location and comply with the
discharge requirements of Core Requirement #1. The proposed stormwater detention
pond which collects runoff from the conveyance system within the substation discharges
to the natural discharge location, as shown on Figure 3. Per the discharge requirements
of Core Requirement # 1, if the proposed 100-year flow event peak discharge is greater
than 0.5 CFS a conveyance system must be provided to convey concentrated runoff to
an acceptable discharge point (COR SWDM, 2009). The 100-year peak flow event for
the proposed project is larger than 0.5 CFS, and will be routed through the proposed
conveyance system and stormwater detention pond to the natural discharge location.
The proposed stormwater detention pond will control stormwater flows generated by the
substation and discharge at a rate that meets the flow control regulatory requirements.
2.2 Core Requirement #2: Offsite Analysis
Core Requirement #2 is discussed in detail in Section 3 of this report.
2.3 Core Requirement #3: Flow Control
Core Requirement #3 is discussed in detail in Section 4 of this report.
2.4 Core Requirement #4: Conveyance System
Core Requirement #4 is discussed in detail in Section 5 of this report.
2.5 Core Requirement #5: Erosion and Sediment Control
Core Requirement #5 is discussed in detail in Section 8 of this report.
2.6 Core Requirement #6: Maintenance and Operations
Core Requirement #6 is discussed in detail in Section 10 of this report.
2.7 Core Requirement #7: Financial Guarantees and
Liability
Core Requirement # 7 is discussed in detail in Section 9 of this report.
2.8 Core Requirement #8: Water Quality

• less than 5,000 square feet of new plus replaced PGIS that is not fully dispersed
will be created as part of a redevelopment project and
• less than 35,000 square feet of new PGPS that is not fully dispersed will be
added.
Because this project adds less than 5,000 square feet of PGIS and less than 35,000
square feet of new PGPS, water quality facilities are not required at the project site.
2.9 Special Requirement #1: Adopted Area Specific
Regulations
This requirement is not applicable as there are no adopted area specific regulations
within the project area.
2.10 Special Requirement #2: Flood Hazard Area
Delineation
This requirement is not applicable as the project area is not within or adjacent to a
mapped FEMA flood hazard area. The FIRMETTE (a web-based software program
designed to display mapped FEMA floodplains) for the project area can be found in
Appendix A.
2.11 Special Requirement #3: Flood Protection Facilities
This requirement is not applicable as the proposed project does not rely on an existing
flood protection facility or plan to modify or construct a new flood protection facility.
2.12 Special Requirement #4: Source Controls
This requirement is not applicable as the proposed project does not require a commercial
building or commercial site development permit.
2.13 Special Requirement #5: Oil Control
This requirement is not applicable as the proposed project does not have high use
characteristics. It should be noted that Spill Prevention, Containment, and Control
(SPCC) facilities will be installed around some electrical components which employ oil.
3 Offsite Analysis
A Level 1 Analysis was performed to identify any potential drainage, conveyance, or
environmental issues downstream of the site that could be affected by the project and
require an additional level of analysis. The Level 1 Analysis consists of a resource review
and a field inspection where offsite issues are identified. The resource review provides
information regarding large-scale existing issues in the project area prior to a site visit.
During the field inspection, evidence of on-site and off-site drainage issues or other
Technical Information Report

environmental problems are investigated and reported. The scale of the resource review
and the field inspection are defined by the downstream study area.
3.1 Task 1: Study Area
The study area and extent of the downstream analysis can be found on Figure 6. The
USGS StreamStats application in tandem with existing topographic and stormwater
conveyance data were used to define the downstream drainage path leaving the project
site. As mentioned in Section 1.1.2 above, stormwater runoff exits the project site via the
southern side of the substation, passing beneath the access road and eventually flowing
west towards Grant Avenue South.
The study area for Task 2 is required to extend 1 mile downstream of the project
discharge location per Section 1.2.2.1 of the COR SWDM. The study area is required to
extend upstream if backwater or upstream effects are anticipated, however the
substations location near the top of a ridge precludes any of these effects. The study
area for Tasks 3 through 5 must extend to a point where the proposed project area
extends less than 15% of the total tributary drainage area, but not less than one-quarter
mile downstream of the project area. StreamStats was used to delineate and calculate
the area of the watershed, and then determine at what distance the project area
composed less than 15% of the tributary drainage area. This distance was less than the
minimum distance, one quarter mile and therefore one quarter mile was used for the
extent the study area used in Tasks 3 through 5.
3.2 Task 2: Resource Review
The resource review was conducted according to Section 2.3.1.1 of the COR SWDM.
Information required to be reviewed includes FEMA Maps, presence of sensitive areas,
presence of wetlands, presence of nearby 303d listed waters, soil survey information,
adopted basin plans, and offsite analysis reports for other projects. The information
obtained during the review is detailed below.
Adopted basin plans were not available for the project area as of September 2016.
FEMA floodplain information was referenced from the online FEMA Flood Map Service
Center. The project site is not located within a flood hazard area. The FIRMETTE which
includes the project area is located in Appendix A.
King County iMap data indicates that the project area is located inside a Coal Mine
Hazard Area and adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area. City of Renton GIS data was also
analyzed, and shows that environmentally sensitive or critical areas located near the
project area include erosion hazard areas and landslide areas (Figure 2). The closest
high-risk erosion hazard area is approximately 1,400 ft west/southwest of the site.
Moderate hazard landslide areas are present on the south, southwest, and west sides of
the project site. The closest high hazard landslide area is approximately 2,000 feet west
of the site. The project area will not discharge directly to any erosion or landslide hazard
areas.
King County iMap data indicates drainage complaints approximately three quarters of a
mile west of the project area, adjacent to I-405. The registered complaints were for

garbage dumping. The stormwater discharge from the proposed project area should not
have an effect.
Sensitive surface waters reviewed included wetlands and impaired waters. City of
Renton Wetland Inventory maps for the area do not show wetlands within one mile
downstream of the site. Additionally, following a review of the Department of Ecology’s
303d list of impaired waters, no impaired waters were found within one mile downstream
of the site.
Seven borings were performed as part of a geotechnical study at the project area. Five of
the borings were performed inside of the substation, and these discovered several feet of
fill soils overlaying seven to twenty-three feet of glacial till. In the area of the proposed
stormwater detention pond, two borings were performed which discovered several feet of
loose sand and organic topsoil overlaying glacial till. Advance outwash deposits were
found below the till soils in all boring samples. No groundwater was encountered at the
project site (GeoEngineers, 2016).
King County iMap does not identify any stormwater quality problems within the study
area.
No Basin Plans or Basin Reconnaissance Summary Reports were found for surface
waters downstream of the project site, and no nearby offsite analysis reports were
obtained as of September 2016 from the City of Renton Development Services Division.
Existing and potential problems identified above have been tabulated in the Drainage
System Table, located in Appendix B.
3.3 Task 3 through 5: Field Inspection & Results
The field inspection was conducted on January 18th, 2016 at the project area and the
study area within ¼ mile downstream of the site. The inspection focused on areas
identified in the resource review and in previous site visits, such as steep slopes and
erosion hazard areas. The purpose of the inspection was to note any erosion or
sedimentation, evidence of recurrent flooding, conveyance system issues, or other
drainage issues present, as well as observe existing site conditions and verify the
tributary drainage basin of the project site. Site photos taken during the visit are found in
Appendix C. It is important to note that the field inspection took place following 0.92
inches of rainfall in the two days prior to the visit, so wet weather conditions were
observed.
Land use immediately adjacent to the site is primarily undeveloped. Areas to the east
and west of the substation consist of tall grasses with interspersed shrubs, and the area
south of the site consists of moderate to dense trees and shrubs. Grasses surround the
north side of the site, with moderate to dense tree and shrub cover north of the grassy
areas. The closest developed area downstream of the site is a residential development
approximately 400 feet south of the site. A park lies between the residential development
and the substation, and consists of lawn grass and some taller grasses around the
border. South of the park is more undeveloped grassy and forested area, with a
maintained mountain bike trail in the forested area. A small stream or channel was
observed crossing the trail via a culvert. The stream appeared to end in the grass area to

the southwest where it converted to overland flow or infiltrated. No erosion or scour
problems were identified in this area.
To the east of the project area, the grade gradually slopes upward towards a ridge
between the substation and Beacon Way South (gravel road). South of the project area
and to the west of the gravel access road the topography is relatively flat. A slight
depression is present east of the access road which extends beyond the SE corner of
the substation. The west side of the substation is bounded by an approximately 10-ft
wide flat area and small ridge. West of the ridge, the grade becomes much steeper.
Runoff from the substation is constrained from reaching the steep slope by the ridge
feature. The ridge ends just before the southwest corner of the site, where a steep
access path leads southwest towards a transmission line tower. To the north of the
substation is relatively flat ground with areas of ponding. One depression is present near
the NE corner of the site. Two small ponded areas are present along the north edge of
the site. No outlets were observed from the ponded areas.
Topography downstream of the site consists of gradual slopes across a park and
moderate slopes to the west and southwest through forested and grassy areas. A gravel
access road intersects an undeveloped area between the park and the substation and
leads to a low area south of the road near the tower at the southwest corner of the
substation. The low area was identified as an additional area that would likely capture
runoff from the substation. The access road continues over a small ridge. Runoff that
escaped the low area would enter a forested section crisscrossed with mountain bike
paths. Many small depressions were observed along the mountain bike paths. Further
downstream is a grassy area west of the park. Moderate slopes continue across the
grassy area to Grant Avenue South, approximately ¼ mile downstream of the site.
Despite the steep slopes and paths on the west and south sides of the site, no rills or
signs of erosion or sedimentation were present during the field inspection of on-site and
off-site areas. Additionally, no evidence of recurrent flooding was present in the area.
Ponded areas were small, no overtopping of those areas was apparent, and water levels
were fairly low within the depressions despite the recent precipitation. These
observations suggest that the on-site and off-site areas do not suffer from erosion or
flooding drainage problems which could warrant additional flow control for the project.
Conveyance observed off-site in the downstream drainage path during the inspection
included two culverts. The outlet of a 4” PVC culvert was observed in a depression on
the south side of the site between the access road and substation. No water was flowing
in the culvert during the time of the inspection. The second culvert (4” PVC) was
observed with flow present underneath a section of the mountain bike trail southwest of
the site (Figure 6). About 200 feet downstream of the culvert, the flow converted into
overland flow through a grassy area. No flooding or erosion issues were observed
around the culvert.
Based on the observations made during the field inspection, no downstream drainage
problems - such as conveyance, flooding, or erosion issues - could be identified for the
project area or downstream drainage path within ¼ mile of the project area. Field
observations also verified the drainage basin delineation discussed in Section 1. The
lack of downstream drainage problems confirms that a Level 1 Analysis is sufficient for
the study area.

Analysis and Design
4.1 Existing Site Hydrology
The existing condition hydrologic analysis assumed that stormwater runoff within the
project area was confined to one subbasin which drains to the depression located on the
southwestern corner of the project area. Drainage characteristics of the site are
discussed in greater detail in Section 1.1.2 of this report. Subbasin area and drainage
characteristics can be seen on Figure 7. Existing land cover is primarily yard rock with
electrical equipment foundations throughout the site. Existing hydrology was calculated
based on a pre-developed forested condition as the project area is located within a
designated Flow Control Area per Reference 11-A of the COR SWDM (Appendix D).
Existing condition peak flow values were calculated using the KCRTS modeling software.
Existing acreage input to the KCRTS model and model results can be found in Table 1,
below.

4.2 Proposed Site Hydrology
Changes to the existing land cover include removal of existing electrical equipment and
the addition of new concrete equipment foundations, placement of new yard rock within
the facility, and addition of a new stormwater detention pond (Figure 8).
The yard rock is considered a partially impervious surface while all other improvements
are considered impervious surfaces. Per Table 3.2.2.E in the 2009 KCSWDM, yard rock
(gravel) surfaces must be multiplied by an effective impervious fraction of 0.50 to
determine the impervious percentage of yard rock (gravel) surfaces. The remaining
fraction is considered pervious.

4.3 Performance Standards
The project area is located within a designated Flow Control Area per Reference 11-A of
the COR SWDM (Appendix D) and is subject to the Flow Control Duration Standard for
forested conditions.
No drainage problems have been identified within the limits of the offsite analysis
(discussed in detail in Section 3), so proposed conditions must match the flow durations
for pre-developed, forested rates over the range of flows from 50% of the 2-year up to
the full 50-year per Table 1.2.3.A of the COR SWDM (COR SWDM, 2009). Flow control
facilities are required, as the project contains greater than 2,000 square feet of new plus
replaced impervious surface. In Flow Control Duration Standard areas, these facilities
must mitigate for target surfaces including:
New impervious surface that is not fully dispersed,
New pervious surface that is not fully dispersed,
Replaced impervious surface that is not fully dispersed on a parcel
redevelopment project in which the total of new plus replaced impervious surface
is 5,000 square feet or more.

Flow control BMPs must be provided to either supplement the flow mitigation provided by
flow control facilities or provide flow mitigation where flow control facilities are not
required (SWDM, 2009). These BMPs must be selected as directed in Section 5.2 of the

The following list discusses each flow control BMP and its feasibility at the project area.
• Full Infiltration
o The project area lies over fill materials which are not suited for infiltration
BMPs.
• Limited Infiltration
o The project area lies over fill materials which are not suited for infiltration
BMPs.
• Basic Dispersion
o Existing topography on the northern and eastern edges of the project
area forms high ground and prevents stormwater runoff from exiting the
site. These higher areas would also restrict the vegetated flow path of a
basic dispersion BMP to several feet, below the acceptable value. The
eastern side of the project area is within the substation and bordered by
yard rock not suitable for dispersion BMPs as there is no vegetated flow
path and discharging stormwater within a substation is not
recommended.
• Rain Garden
o There is no space available within the project area for a rain garden. The
projects natural discharge location is located on the southern edge of the
project area, and the proposed stormwater detention pond which has
been designed to mitigate for all target surfaces within the project area
lies in that location. Existing topography surrounding the northern and
eastern edges of the site prevents placement of a rain garden in these
locations, and a rain garden could not be placed on the western edge of
the project area within the substation fence.
• Permeable Pavement
o No major paving activities are being proposed at the project area.
• Rainwater Harvesting
o The control house is the only structure with a roof that lies inside the
project area. Storage of rainwater associated with a rainwater harvesting
facility within the fence line of the substation is not feasible. There is also
no use for harvested rainwater at the project site, no plants require
irrigation and there are no facilities which may use harvested water.
• Vegetated Roof
o Vegetated rooftops within substation facilities are not feasible as the
required maintenance would involve getting on top of or near the top of
the roof surface in close proximity to high voltage power facilities.
Technical Information Report
Talbot Substation Stormwater Support
12 | November 16, 2016
• Reduced Impervious Surface Credit
o Impervious surfaces have been restricted to the maximum extent
feasible. Permeable yard rock is being used where vehicle access is not
required within the substation fence. Impervious surfaces within the
project area include the proposed stormwater detention pond, electrical
and SPCC facilities, and the access road required for vehicles.
• Native Growth Retention Credit
o There are no native growth areas located within the project area.
The proposed flow control facility will mitigate for all target surfaces at the project area.
Proposed conveyance systems must be designed to convey the 25-year peak flow event
with a minimum 6 inches of freeboard to the structure grate. Developed conditions must
be assumed for onsite tributary areas, while existing conditions shall be assumed for
offsite tributary areas. For events greater than the 25-year peak flow, structures may
overtop. However, the 100-year peak flow event may not create or exacerbate any
existing severe flooding or erosion problem per Core Requirement #2 of the COR
SWDM. All overflows for peak flow events up to and including the 100-year event must
discharge to their natural discharge location at the project area.
Stormwater water quality treatment facilities are not required at the project area as the
total area of pollution-generating surfaces is below the water quality requirement
thresholds. SPCC structures will be installed around electrical components requiring oil
in order to prevent stormwater contamination in the event an oil spill. These are the only
water quality facilities which will be present at the project site.
4.4 Flow Control System
An illustrative sketch of the proposed stormwater detention facility can be found below
(Figure 10). KCRTS output containing “Compare Flow Duration” files and other model
results can be found in Appendix E. While there are landslide hazard areas adjacent to
the project, the project is not located within those areas and therefore is not required to
use a safety factor when designing the stormwater detention facility (SWDM, 2009).

4.5 Water Quality System
As mentioned above, stormwater water quality facilities are not required. SPCC facilities
will be placed where necessary.
5 Conveyance System Analysis and Design
During field observations, two four-inch outlet pipes and catch basins were observed at
the project area within the substation fence line at the northern and southern edges of
the substation. No further analysis was performed on the existing conveyance system.
The proposed stormwater conveyance system was designed to meet the conveyance
requirements discussed in Section 4.3 of this report and was analyzed using the Rational
Method and XP-SWMM. The Rational Method was used to assess the capacity of the
pipes within the conveyance system as required by the 2009 SWDM. XP-SWMM was
then used to demonstrate that the pipe system structures contain the hydraulic grade line
for the 25-year rainfall event as required by the 2009 SWDM.
The Rational Method conservatively calculates runoff flows based on basin area, rainfall
intensity, and a runoff coefficient specific to land cover. Runoff flows into each catch
basin were calculated for the 25-year event, and a water balance was performed to
estimate the flows which would need to be conveyed in each pipe. When the flows were
compared to the proposed conveyance system design pipe capacities, all proposed
pipes were sized appropriately to convey the 25-year event flows.
In XP-SWMM, conveyance system pipes were designed and modeled as 8-inch or 12
inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe or perforated PVC pipe. Catch basins in the
conveyance system were either Type 1 or type 1L. The conveyance system was
designed to route runoff from the substation, SPCC curb areas, and control house roof
toward the south side of the substation, where a pipe outfalls to the proposed detention
pond. Slopes of all proposed pipes in the conveyance system were modeled as 0.5%.
Compliance with the requirements discussed in Section 4.3 was assessed by routing 25-
and 100-year rainfall events through the XP-SWMM model. During the 25-year event, all
structures appeared to maintain over 6 inches of freeboard in the model. Additionally, the
hydraulic grade line was contained within the conveyance pipes. The conveyance
system did not flood during the 100-year event. Model output can be found in Appendix
E.

8 CSWPPP Analysis and Design
A CSWPPP has been developed for the project and is located in Appendix F.
8.1 ESC Plan Analysis and Design
The following ESC best management measures will be employed at the project area, as
shown on the TESC plans and discussed in the CSWPPP:
8.1.1 Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and reduce the volume of soil exposed to construction,
construction limits will be clearly marked where necessary before construction begins.
The construction of the proposed stormwater detention pond and paving of a small
portion of the existing access road will be the only ground disturbing activity occurring
outside of the substation fence. Natural vegetation and topsoil at the project area shall be
retained to the maximum extent feasible. High visibility fence and silt fence BMPs will be
used around the perimeter of the project area so that disturbance is kept to a minimum
outside the work area.
8.1.2 Cover Measures
As the project is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest, no soils shall remain
exposed and unworked for more than seven days during the dry season (May 1 to
September 30) and two days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). Between
these times, exposed soils stored aboveground shall be protected with straw, wood fiber
mulch, compost, plastic sheeting, or equivalent. Regardless of time, all soils shall be
stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend, and if needed, based on
weather forecasts. Any areas expected to remain unworked for greater than 30 days
must be seeded or sodded (King County, 1998). During the wet season, soil stockpiles
with slopes greater than or equal to 3H:1V, or with over ten feet of vertical relief must be
covered if they will remain unworked for over 12 hours. During the wet season sufficient
cover materials to stabilize all disturbed areas must be stockpiled on site, and the Wet
Season Provisions of Section D.5.S of the King County Erosion and Sediment Control
Standards must be followed (King County, 1998). Permanent stabilization will be
achieved by placement of yard rock within the substation, and seeding at the proposed
stormwater detention pond.
8.1.3 Perimeter Protection
Vegetation and slope characteristics vary within the project area. The eastern edge of
the project area is elevated and there is no risk contaminated stormwater will exit the
project site in that area. The proposed stormwater detention pond and its outlet structure
will be installed along the southern edge of the project area. Silt fence will be installed in
this area to ensure no contaminated stormwater exits the project area. Silt fencing will

extend along the existing access road to its intersection with Puget Drive Southeast to
prevent sediment generated from the proposed paving activities from exiting the project
site. Concrete will be poured on site for proposed electrical equipment foundations within
the substation. All concrete at the project area will be handled such that no cementitious
material will enter stormwater runoff. Handling procedures are detailed on the TESC
plans.
8.1.4 Traffic Area Stabilization
The project area will be accessed from the existing access road located on the southern
edge of the substation. This access road is a stabilized surface and does not require
additional stabilization. Proposed stormwater detention pond construction and access
road paving will occur from the existing access road.
8.1.5 Sediment Retention
The proposed stormwater detention pond will be retrofitted as a temporary sediment
storage facility for the duration of the project. All open grate catch basins and inlets
located at the project area will be protected with storm drain inlet protection in order to
prevent sediment contamination from entering the conveyance system. The sediment
pond must have adequate surface area as defined in Section D.4.5.2 of the King County
Erosion and Sediment Control Standards (King County, 1998).
Required Pond Surface Area at top of Riser - SA = 2 x Q2/0.00096
Proposed 2-year Peak Flow - Q2= 0.092
Required SA = 192 Square Feet
Provided Surface Area: ~ 16,000 Square Feet
8.1.6 Surface Water Collection
Outlet protection will be installed at the outlet of the proposed stormwater detention pond
before stormwater is routed through the facility.
8.1.7 Dewatering Control
Dewatering is not anticipated at the project site, as groundwater was not encountered
during field activities performed by GeoEngineers (GeoEngineers, 2016).
8.1.8 Dust Control
Wind transport of soils is not anticipated at the project site. Exposed soils will be
stabilized and will not remain exposed for long periods.
8.1.9 Flow Control
The project area triggers Core Requirement #3: Flow Control. The proposed stormwater
detention pond will be retrofitted to serve as a sediment pond during construction. During
this period, the hydraulic control structure and pond will continue to function as flow
control facility’s and restrict flow rates exiting the site to acceptable limits.

8.2 CSWPPP Plan Design
The following ESC best management measures will be employed at the project area, as
shown on the TESC plans and discussed in the CSWPPP:
• High Visibility Plastic Fence
o High visibility plastic fence will be used around the perimeter of the
substation and access road to clearly mark the proposed limits of
construction. This will prevent unnecessary disturbance of existing
vegetation and soils.
• Silt Fence
o Silt fence will be placed along the southern border of the existing access
road to prevent sediment contaminated stormwater generated from the
construction of the proposed stormwater detention pond and paving of
the existing access road from exiting the project site. Silt fence will also
serve to delineate the construction limits on the southern boundary of the
project area
• Temporary Sediment Pond
o The proposed stormwater detention pond will be retrofitted as a
temporary sediment pond. It will serve to retain sediment generated
within the substation fence by placement of the proposed foundations,
yard rock, and electrical components. The sediment pond will prevent
sediment from exiting the project area. Sediment retention facilities are
required whenever the project area exceeds three acres. Flow control is
also required for the project, and the proposed stormwater detention
pond will continue to regulate outflows through its control structure while
it is being used as a temporary sediment retention facility.
• Catch Basin Insert
o Catch basin inserts will be placed on all catch basins within the
substation fence line. They will be used to prevent sediment generated
by work within the substation fence line from entering the proposed
stormwater conveyance system and being transported downstream.
• Outlet Protection
o Outlet protection will be used at the outlet of the proposed stormwater
detention pond. It will prevent scouring and erosion due to stormwater
discharges exiting the pond. This is a permanent BMP which will be
retained in place after construction is complete.
Updates to the SWPPP may be requested by King County at any time during project
construction if the County determines that pollutants generated on the construction site
have the potential to contaminate surface, storm, or ground water.
