An RMC chapter should be cited chapter 4-10 RMC. An RMC section should be cited RMC 4-10-010. Through references should be made as RMC 4-10-010 through 4-10-040. Series of sections should be cited as RMC 4-10-010, 4-10-020, and 4-10-030. Page and section numbering system: The page numbering system for these regulations does not run sequentially from the first page of the document to the last. Instead, page numbering begins with the number of the chapter followed by a page number. Each chapter starts with a Table of Contents listing the provisions found in the chapter by page number. These Table of Contents pages themselves are numbered with lowercase Roman numerals. For example, the first page of the Table of Contents of the first chapter is 1-i; the first page of text of the first chapter is 1-1; the tenth page is 1-10. The first page of the Table of Contents of the second chapter is 2-i; the first page of text is 2-1, and so on to the end of the document. As the Development Regulations are supplemented and pages are added, a decimal numbering and lettering system is used to allow for expansion of existing chapters. A detailed directions page is included with each supplement. The section numbering system used in the Development Regulations operates in the following manner: 4 10 010 Al a(i) LLw.r subsections section of chapter chapter of title title of Renton Municipal Code Legislation: The legislative source of each section is enclosed in parentheses at the end of the applicable section or subsection. References to ordinances are abbreviated and a semicolon between ordinance citations indicates an amendment of the earlier section; thus "(Ord. 4638, 4-4-94; Amd. Ord. 4654, 6-5-94)" refers to Ordinance No. 4638 as amended by Ordinance No. 4654. Index: The Development Regulations index follows Chapter 4-11. The index includes com- plete cross-referencing and is keyed to the section and subsection numbers described above.

CONSIDERATIONS ON SELECTION OF PIPE MATERIALS The Utility maintains a list of materials meeting performance standards.Other materials meeting similar performance standards or developed as the result of new technology may be approved by the Utility. a. Rubber gaskets may be severely damaged by petroleum products,particularly in prolonged exposures to concentrated flows containing little or no storm water or sanitary sewage. In cases where heavy concentrations of petroleum products may be experienced, nitrile (Nitrile-Butadiene;i.e., NBR) gaskets should be used. b. Gasketed joints may not be leak-proof at zero or low pressures, if improperly installed. c. Mechanical joints may be less likely to leak at low pressures than push-on joints. d. May need protective coatings and/or cathodic protection against external corrosion. e. Considered most reliable gasket and lining material for ductile iron leachate pipeline. f. Very difficult to repair linings on inside of joints in pipe smaller than 24-inch diameter. g. Almost always needs protective coatings and cathodic protection against external corrosion. h. Properly made joints are considered leak-proof. i. Nitrile gaskets may require long delivery time. Requires special attention to bedding and backfill depth to avoid structural failure of pipe. 3 -20.55 Revised 10/00) 4-3-050S k. Large thermal expansion coefficient. May need to limit solvent welded joints to 4-inch and smaller pipe. May require careful evaluation of pipe installation temperature and temperature of piped liquids to ensure joint integrity. I. Pipe not available over 12-inch diameter. m. Slip form lining is available in 6-inch through 60-inch diameter for almost any pressure,if sufficient pipe cross- sectional area is available. n. Pressure grouts and gels are not acceptable for rehabilitation or patching of storm and sanitary sewers. o. Suitability of pipe lining and gasket material to resist chemical attack by conveyed fluids must be determined for each pipeline service considered. p. All storm and sanitary sewer manholes, catch basins,and inlets should be equipped with precast concrete bottom and sidewalls with rubber gasketed joints between sections,water-tight epoxy grout or other approved pipe entrances through walls,and approved waterproof coating of all interior floor and wall surfaces. Manholes,catch basins,and inlets should have no leakage when hydrostatically tested at atmospheric pressure. q. Has good resistance to a number of chemicals,petroleum products, and hydrogen sulfide corrosion. r. "Zero leakage"test requirement may be impossible to achieve under the best conditions for any pipe materials because trapped air may distort test results, even in a drop-tight pipe. Pressure and leakage test requirements should consider whether the pipe has steel slope or will stand full of liquid. Pipelines should be tested with the intent to prevent or minimize leakage. Air testing should not be allowed; hydrostatic testing should be as stringent as any found in the industry. Pipe materials,without regard for chemical attack,corrosion,or puncture,are generally ranked as follows, in decreasing order of liquid-tight reliability: welded steel with welded joints PVC with solvent welded joints slip form liner ductile iron with viton or rubber gaskets welded steel with rubber gasketed joints PVC with viton or rubber gasketed joints s. Joints should consist of"heat-shrink"wrap,standard corrugated coupling,and full pipe band clamps. t. The use of PVC may be restricted by other Utility policy in regards to depth of pipe cover. u. HDPE may be adversely affected by solvents;its use is not recommended where contact with solvents may occur. Ord. 4851,8-7-2000) i Revised 10/00) 3 -20.56 4-3-090B 4-3-060 (Reserved)C.

Increase recreational opportunities for the public in the shoreline. E. REGULATED WATER BODIES: Approximately eighteen (18)miles of shoreline in the City of Renton are under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971. These eigh- teen (18) miles of shoreline in the City of Renton are considered an extremely valuable resource not only to the City of Renton,but also to the State Metropolitan Area of which Renton is an integral part. In the City of Renton,the following bodies of water are regulated by the Act: 1. Cedar River. 2. Green River.

Names of Environments: Three (3) en- vironments, Natural, Conservancy, and Ur- ban,shall be designated to provide a uniform basis to apply policies and use regulations within distinctively different shoreline areas. 2. Basis for Designation: The environ- mental designation to be given any specific area shall be based on the existing develop- ment pattern,the biophysical capabilities and limitations of the area being considered for development and the goals and aspirations of local citizenry.

Landscaping shall include a minimum fifteen foot (15') sight obscuring landscape buffer around the accessory equipment facility. Ac- cessory equipment facilities located on the roof of any building shall be enclosed so as to be shielded from view. 2. Visual Impact: Site location and devel- opment shall preserve the pre-existing char- acter of the surrounding buildings and land uses and the zone district to the extent con- sistent with the function of the communica- tions equipment. Wireless communication towers shall be integrated through location and design to blend in with the existing char- acteristics of the site to the extent practical. Existing on-site vegetation shall be preserved or improved, and disturbance of the existing topography shall be minimized, unless such disturbance would result in less visual impact of the site to the surrounding area. 3. Screening of Accessory Equipment Shelters and Cabinets: Accessory equip- ment facilities used to house wireless com- munication equipment should be located within buildings or placed underground when possible. When they cannot be located in buildings, equipment shelters or cabinets shall be fenced,screened and landscaped to screen views from adjacent residential or commercial zoned properties.
