General Construction Information
Preliminary Plat of Copperwood
(April 17, 2014)
The construction of new road improvements along with the installation of utilities for the proposed plat of
Copperwood will involve clearing, grading, and other land disturbance activities. The following is a
summary of how these activities are expected to be carried out and managed to minimize impacts and
comply with applicable rules and regulations during this phase of the project:
· Anticipated Construction Schedule:
Clearing and grading is likely to begin in early 2015 assuming the entitlements and permits
are approved. The bulk of the work should be completed between March and November
2015. Based on this schedule, we expect that the plat could be ready for recording in late
2015 or early 2016, with home building to commence after the plat is recorded. Model home
construction may commence prior to recording as allowed by the City of Renton.
· Hours and Days of Operation:
The typical hours of operation for construction will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the winter
months. During the summer months, construction will begin at 7 a.m. and may extend to 7
p.m. (pending approval from the City of Renton). The typical work week will be Monday
through Friday. Construction work may also take place on Saturday, as normally allowed by
the City of Renton, especially during the dry season (April to October) in order to expedite
completion of the project during the dry season.
· Proposed Hauling/Transportation Routes:
The haul route for importing or exporting materials to and from the site will be determined
after coordination with the City of Renton Inspector prior to the start of construction.
However, we would anticipate that the haul route would start at 144 Avenue S.E. to N.E. 2nd
Street (to avoid conflicts with traffic in and around Maplewood Heights Elementary School)
and then utilize Jericho Avenue N.E. and finally N.E. 4th Street.
· Measures to be Implemented to Minimize Dust, Traffic and Transportation Impacts,
Erosion, Noise, and other Construction Impacts:
All temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures required by the City of Renton and
other agencies will be implemented and maintained (e.g., rock construction entrance, silt
fencing, temporary storm pond, and straw mulching). Also, as required by DOE, all erosion
BMPs will be implemented and maintained as required by the NPDES Permit for the duration
of the project. Watering will be implemented, as necessary, to control dust during the
summer months and all construction equipment will be equipped with appropriate mufflers to
comply with local noise ordinances.

· Any Special Hours Proposed for Construction or Hauling (i.e., weekends, late nights):
If it is determined that additional hours are needed to complete the construction, the
contractor will coordinate with the City of Renton and obtain approval for such extended
hours.
· Preliminary Traffic Control Plan:
A Preliminary Traffic Control Plan has not been prepared at this time. Once the haul route(s)
has(have) been approved by the City Public Works Department, a traffic control plan will be
prepared in accordance with the City Road Standards and WSDOT guidelines.
