Re: City of Renton, Preliminary Stormwater Feasibility Evaluation Monroe Avenue NE Storm System Improvements
This memorandum, prepared by Aspect Consulting, LLC (Aspect), provides Otak and the City of Renton (City) with an overview of local geology, available geotechnical data, description of data reviewed for the infiltration feasibility GIS-based analysis, the resulting shallow infiltration feasibility map, and recommended next steps on the Monroe Avenue NE Storm System
Improvement Project (Project).
In support of the Project, Aspect completed a desktop-level GIS-based geological survey for an approximately 245-acre stormwater subbasin (Subbasin) in Renton, Washington. We created maps of surface conditions, including ground surface topography, aerial photography, surficial geology, slopes, wetlands, critical areas, and existing facilities. Existing geotechnical reports and studies
within the area of study were included in the review to include measured data where available. We evaluated the combination of this GIS data and existing reported soils data in combination to develop a shallow infiltration feasibility map that identifies areas expected to have high, medium, and low capacity for shallow infiltration. This memorandum is intended for use by the Otak team as
input to further investigate particular areas or sites within the Subbasin as preferential stormwater infiltration areas.
The following sections provide background on the Project, an overview of local geology, available geotechnical data, a description of data reviewed for the infiltration feasibility GIS-based analysis, the resulting shallow infiltration feasibility map, and recommended next steps for the Project.

Project Background The Project encompasses the Subbasin in the Renton Highlands area (Figure 1). A 670-foot, 36-
inch perforated pipe along NE 2nd Street and a 200-ft, 48-inch perforated pipe along King County Access Road drain portions of the stormwater runoff. In addition, numerous areas throughout the Subbasin are drained by points of infiltration and stormwater ponds (Figure 2). In 1994, a large rain event caused flooding in the street along Monroe Avenue NE, south of NE 4th
Street, and erosion of the northeast corner of the Upper Balch Pit, a privately-owned gravel pit (301 Monroe Avenue NE). In order to accommodate any future high-flow runoff, the City provided the property owner with a temporary easement. The easement allowed construction of one 18-inch and one 24-inch overflow pipe, which would discharge flows into the pit during high flow events.
This temporary system has prevented roadway and property flooding since the original event. However, a recent Application to the City to redevelop the Upper Balch Pit site will remove the two overflow pipes from operation. In order to minimize risk of property damage or incidents nearby, a new approach to managing high flow runoff needs to be constructed prior to the removal of the pipes to allow the City to continue to manage stormwater within the Subbasin.
Overview of Local Geology
Local soils will directly inform the feasibility for infiltration across the Subbasin. Based on our review of the geologic map (Mullineaux, 1965), the Subbasin is underlain by Pleistocene Vashon Stade continental recessional stratified drift, glaciofluvial deposits (Qpa), and Vashon Stade continental glacial till (Qgt). The glaciofluvial deposits consist chiefly of well-sorted sand and
gravel with few fines. The unit is subdivided according to origin and topographic form with outwash along the Cedar River. The glacial till deposits consist of a diamict of dense to very dense silty sand with gravel.
The Subbasin is divided into two geologic units, glacial till and outwash (drift), as shown on
Figure 3.
Data Review
Aspect compiled and reviewed data, including GIS data from the City of Renton, King County, and various state agencies, as well as geotechnical reports made available by the City of Renton. The following sections describe the various data reviewed.
Topography King County Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data with a 3-ft cell size resolution covers the
Subbasin. Ground surface elevations developed from the 2016 King County LiDAR data (2019) and 5-foot topographic contours from the City of Renton are shown on Figure 4. The Subbasin topography ranges from Elevation 4251 feet in the northeast to Elevation 320 feet in the southwest portion of the Project area.
1 1 Elevations referenced to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).

Critical Areas The City of Renton has established a set of Critical Areas Regulations protect health, safety, welfare, and property by minimizing adverse environmental impacts due to development within and near to critical areas. (City of Renton, 2019a)
The mapped extent of critical areas within the City of Renton are available on the City’s Critical Area Inventory maps and GIS data from the City’s data download portal (City of Renton, 2019b). Mapped critical areas for the Subbasin are shown on Figure 5.
• Flood Hazard Areas – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year Floodplain dataset shows no mapped floodplain areas within the Subbasin.
• Wetlands and Streams – City of Renton Wetland and Stream Corridor Critical Areas Inventory shows one small wetland area (approximately 7800 sq ft) within the Subbasin. No significant streams or rivers flow through the Subbasin.
• Erosion Hazard Areas – City of Renton Erosion Hazard Areas show areas subject to
erosion hazards. There are no high erosion hazard areas and only localized moderate erosion hazard areas within the Subbasin.
• Landslide Hazard Areas – The City of Renton Landslide Hazard maps approximately 16 acres of areas with moderate risk of landslides within the Subbasin. The largest of which is 4 acres.
• Seismic Hazard Areas – The City of Renton Seismic Hazard Areas show no known
hazards in the Subbasin.
• Steep Slope Hazard Areas – The City of Renton Steep Slopes Areas, created from the 2016 King County LiDAR data, defined slopes greater than 25 percent as sensitive. There are localized slopes greater than 25 percent and smaller areas greater than 40 percent that likely represent areas of cut and fill slopes within the Subbasin.
• Wellfield Capture Zones – The City of Renton Wellfield Capture Zones do not lay within
the Subbasin.
• Group A and B drinking water – Well locations were downloaded from the Washington State Department of Health (2019). There are no water sources located within the Subbasin.
• Environmental Data – The Washington State Department of Ecology’s Facility Index, includes state Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) cleanup and federal cleanup (Superfund) sites. It includes facilities with known or suspected contamination to soil and groundwater
in any stage of cleanup. This data is shown on the map (star symbol) and may be useful in site screening when considering potential infiltration feasibility.
Geotechnical, Soil, and Groundwater Data Review Aspect reviewed available GIS data and reports to characterize the soil and the soil’s potential to infiltrate stormwater runoff. Our methods and findings are described below.

Geotechnical and Soil Data Using the Washington Geological Survey 1:24,000 Surficial Geologic Units map and geotechnical reports provided by the City, Aspect mapped 94 subsurface locations to assess feasibility for stormwater infiltration. To assist in the infiltration assessment, information about the explorations,
including depth to groundwater, depth to glacial till, and infiltration rate testing, was incorporated into a GIS database.
In general, the subsurface data corroborate the geologic mapping with outwash and till units observed as mapped on Figure 3, with some exceptions. GeoEngineers (2006) observed outwash deposits on the order of a few feet overlying glacial till at a depth of approximately 5 feet below
ground surface (bgs) in areas mapped as glacial till. Stratigraphically recessional outwash typically overlies glacial till.
Just south of the Subbasin at the King County Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center, HWA GeoSciences (HWA, 2002) reported a sequence of recessional outwash
overlying glacial till, over unsaturated advance outwash. HWA evaluated shallow infiltration feasibility using pilot infiltration testing (PIT) methods and correlation to grain-size distribution.
Groundwater There is no available GIS layer that maps depth to groundwater or areas of shallow groundwater across the Subbasin. Areas of shallow groundwater are typically less than ideal for infiltration. Figure 3 shows the available depth to groundwater information compiled by the 15 geotechnical reports reviewed. In general, shallow groundwater perches on glacial till in the east areas of the
Subbasin. There is no groundwater data available within the western portion of the Subbasin that includes deposits of outwash, however Aspect (2019) did observe groundwater immediately west of the Subbasin within outwash at depths greater than 50 feet, as shown on Figure 3.
Shallow Infiltration Feasibility Assessment and Map Three of the geotechnical studies we reviewed provided infiltration testing at exploration locations
completed in outwash (Aspect, 2019, GeoEngineers, 2006, and HWA, 2001) and glacial till (Otto Rosenau and Associates, 2011). The infiltration rates for glacial till are considerably lower, at less than 5 inches per hour compared to those measured in recessional outwash that are greater than the maximum allowable design infiltration rate of 20 inches per hour. Available infiltration data are provided below in Table 1.

We assimilated the mapped data and previous studies and assessed shallow infiltration feasibility within the Subbasin. The unique combinations of the factors show areas that are more or less likely to be feasible for infiltration. The combinations of the following input data within the Subbasin are provided below:
• Soil Permeability
• Surface Slope Classification
• Geologic Hazard Areas
Soil Permeability
The permeability of a soil is the core factor in determining its feasibility for infiltration. Typically, higher permeability soils are more feasible for shallow stormwater infiltration. If the soil cannot infiltrate runoff effectively, flooding and water quality issues can occur. The properties of the surface soils in the Subbains were evaluated for their permeability and categorized into two permeability groups (Figure 8):
• Low permeability (infiltration observed at 0-5 inches/hour)
• High permeability (infiltration observed at greater than 5 inches/hour)
Surface Slope Classification The steepness of a surface slope is a factor in the potential for runoff to effectively infiltrate. If the ground surface is too steep, water can daylight down the slope from the point of infiltration. Steeper

slopes can pose design challenges. The City of Renton Critical Area regulations define medium landslide hazards as areas with slopes between 15 and 40 percent. Spatial analysis was used to
calculate the slope percentage over the Subbasin from the King County 2016 LiDAR data (King County, 2019). Areas within the Subbasin fall within one of three categories:
• Good: Slopes less than 8 percent
• Moderate: Slopes between 8 and 15 percent
• Poor: Slopes greater than 15 percent
These categories reflect previous observations across the region of slopes in relation to infiltration
and potential hazard issues due to ground surface slope. The surface slope categories over the Subbasin are shown on Figure 7.
Geologic Hazard Areas Three input datasets from the City’s available Critical Area Inventory were used to identify geologic hazard areas to avoid from potential infiltration site locations. Erosion, Landslide, and Seismic Hazard areas were considered poor for shallow infiltration (Figure 6).
Soil Infiltration Map Figure 9 shows areas across the Subbasin that are expected to have good, moderate, and poor capacity for shallow infiltration (generally less than 10 feet deep).
• Good – Shallow infiltration is expected to be feasible, unlikely to pose hazards, and cost
effective.
• Moderate – Shallow infiltration is expected to be feasible with slopes are between 8 and 15 percent
• Poor – Shallow infiltration is expected to be low or risks could be high. Areas shown mapped as Poor may not necessarily exhibit poor infiltration upon further site investigation.
Recommendations and Next Steps
Our recommendations for next steps on the Project as follows:
• Complete a site reconnaissance in coordination with City staff to observe subsurface conditions at the Greenwood Memorial Park and some of the City stormwater facility discharge points.
• Identify explorations that include borings and monitoring wells in the southwest portion of the Subbasin where infiltration appears most feasible. We anticipate five borings along
Monroe Ave NE south of NE 4th Street, along NE 4th Street west of Queen Avenue NE, and
along 3rd Avenue NE would be well suited for explorations and may be needed if mounding analysis is required. We recommend two of the five monitoring wells be installed along NE 4th Street, one along Monroe Avenue, and one to two along NE 2nd Street. The monitoring wells should be installed with data loggers and to record seasonal high groundwater.

Report Limitations
and Guidelines for Use

REPORT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE
This Report and Project-Specific Factors
Aspect Consulting, LLC (Aspect) considered a number of unique, project-specific factors when establishing the Scope of Work for this project and report. You should not rely on this report if it was:
•Not prepared for you
•Not prepared for the specific purpose identified in the Agreement
•Not prepared for the specific real property assessed
•Completed before important changes occurred concerning the subjectproperty, project or governmental regulatory actions
Geoscience Interpretations
The geoscience practices (geotechnical engineering, geology, and environmental science) require interpretation of spatial information that can make them less exact than other engineering and natural science disciplines. It is important to recognize this limitation in evaluating the content of the report. If you are unclear how these "Report Limitations
and Use Guidelines" apply to your project or site, you should contact Aspect.
Reliance Conditions for Third Parties
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of the 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 liability claims by third parties with whom there would otherwise be no contractual limitations. Within the limitations of
scope, schedule, and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with our Agreement with the Client and recognized geoscience practices in the same locality and involving similar conditions at the time this report was prepared.
Property Conditions Change Over Time
This 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 events
such as a change in property use or occupancy, or by natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability, or groundwater fluctuations. If any of the described events may have occurred following the issuance of the report, you should contact Aspect so that we may evaluate whether changed conditions affect the continued reliability or
applicability of our conclusions and recommendations.
ASPECT CONSULTING
Discipline-Specific Reports Are Not Interchangeable
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study differ significantly from those used to perform an environmental study and vice
versa. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering or geologic report does not usually address any environmental findings, conclusions, or 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 the subject property.
We appreciate the opportunity to perform these services. If you have any questions please contact the Aspect Project Manager for this project.
