INTRODUCTION
The Olympic Pipe Line Company LLC (Olympic) operates a petroleum products pipeline
system within Western Washington. One of our facilities includes the Renton Station
facility, located at 2319 Lind Avenue SW, in Renton, Washington. Olympic proposes to
install a new pre-manufactured switchgear enclosure/building at this facility. A Vicinity Map

the proposed Switchgear Building detailed drawings (Sheets 1 through 7) and legal
description (Sheet 1) are provided with this Project Narrative and Land Use Master Use
Application package.
SITE DESCRIPTION
Renton Station is located on tax parcel number 302305-9084 (Drawing 1), property that is
owned by BP U.S. Terminals and Pipelines. The site elevation is approximately 19 feet
above sea level (Drawing 2). The site and adjacent properties are zoned IH (heavy
industrial), LI (light industrial) or are undeveloped, designated wetland areas (Drawing 1).
The existing Renton Station facilities include one aboveground storage tank, concrete
secondary containment vaults and pads under piping, flanges, valves, strainers, meters,
instrumentation, launchers, receivers and pumps. Also located at the Renton Station
facility is an existing local site control building, the Olympic Pipeline Control Center,
administrative building and a warehouse building.
The eastern half of the site, where the proposed Switchgear Building will be situated,
currently is covered in asphalt concrete or crushed rock and is nearly flat. The developed
eastern portion of the property is about 8 to 10 feet higher the western undeveloped
portion. The proposed Switchgear Building location currently is covered in gravel,
therefore there will be no change in the impervious surface area on the site resulting from
building installation. All existing trees and landscaping within the City of Renton right-of-
way on the east side of the site will be protected and remain in-place during the project.
Based on information obtained from the City of Renton Maps & GIS Data website,
wetlands and designated shorelines are mapped within the western portion of the site and
north of the site. The developed portion of the site is located approximately 470 feet east
of Springbrook Creek and approximately 130 feet south of Panther Creek. The wetland
boundaries and Creeks are shown on Drawing 1.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The approximate dimensions of the proposed new building are 13 feet high by 12 feet
wide by 30 feet long (Sheets 2, 3 and 4). The building will be pre-manufactured, not
2
occupied, and will weigh approximately 47,000 pounds. The building will not have water
or sanitary sewer connections, although city water and the city sewer system serve the
other buildings on site. A new roof drain will discharge to the gravel area along the eastern
site boundary or to the existing stormwater system on site. The site currently is (and will
be) served with electricity from the on-site Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Substation. Very
minor grading of the existing gravel surface will be completed to place an approximately
15 feet wide by 33 feet long concrete slab for placement of the new Switchgear Building.
Approximate 8 cubic yards of imported gravel will be placed to support the concrete slab.
Additionally, some conduit trench excavation (approximately 30-feet (l) by 1-foot (w) by 3-
feet (d); approximately 3 cubic yards excavated soil) will be completed to install 5 kV power
service to the new Switchgear Building from the PSE Substation; 5 kV power service from
the new Switchgear Building to the existing pump motors (approximately 150-feet (l) by 3-
feet (w) by 3-feet (d); approximately 50 cubic yards), and a low voltage service to the on-
site programmable control system.
The building will be for use in a 4,160 volt three-phase, three-wire 60 Hertz system.
All inside wiring within the switchgear will conform to the latest version of the NEC.
The building manufacturer shall obtain the Washington State Department of Labor and
Industries approval (Gold Seal) and affix the approval label before the building leaves the
factory.
The entire switchgear equipment will be UL-Certified, designed, tested and assembled in
accordance with the latest applicable standards of:
• IEEE
• National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA SG5)
• National Electrical Code
• National Electrical Safety Code
• ANSI C27.20.2 Metal Clad & Station Type Cubicle Switchgear >1000V
• ANSI C37.04 Circuit Breaker Ratings
• ANSI C37.06 AC High Voltage Circuit Breaker Ratings >1000V
• ANSI C37.09 Standard AC Breaker Test Procedures
• ANSI C37.20.2 Standard for Metal-Clad Switchgear
• ANSI C37.20.3 Metal Enclosed Interupter Switchgear
• ANSI C37.20.4 Indoor Medium Voltage AC Switches
• ANSI C37.22 Standard Indoor AC Medium Voltage Switch Ratings

SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA
The switchgear site is located in a seismic hazard area and shall be designed per IEEE
Standard 693, latest edition, and the current 2018 International Building Code (IBC) with
appropriate accelerations as specified. Seismic design loads shall be based on the
following:
a. 0.2 second Mapped Spectral Response Acceleration = 1.726
b. Site Class = D
c. Seismic Use Factor = II
d. Seismic Importance Factor = 1.25
e. IEEE 693-18 Qualification Level = High
SCHEDULE
At this time, the proposed Switchgear Building installation is planned for third (fall) and
fourth (winter) quarters of 2021.
