Please contact Jerry directly at 425-771-0220 or by email at jerry.shuster@edmondswa.govwith any specific questions you may have regarding these comments. Page 2-4, of the Point Edwards Building 10 Drainage report (Triad, 10/5/215), describes the 1. exemptions from Minimum Requirement #7 (Flow Control) based on criteria in the 2005 Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. One of the conditions that has to be met to get the flow control exemption is: “The conveyance system between the project site and the exempt receiving water shall have sufficient hydrauliccapacity to convey discharges from future build-out conditions (under current zoning) of the site, and the existing condition from non- project areas from which runoff is or will be collected.” In 2003 when the original drainage plan for the Point Edwards site was approved by the City, a waiver from the flow control requirement was granted (under the previous version of the Stormwater Management Code) that included evidence that the conveyance system was adequate.The current condition of the downstream conveyance system does not have adequate hydraulic capacity.The pipe immediately downstream of the BNSF tracks, is a 48 inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with asphalt coating that was installed in the early 1960s by the Port of Edmonds. A recent study by the City found herelooked at the causes of flooding at the intersection of SR104 and Dayton Street and at the Harbor Square property nearby. Figure 1-5 of this study shows the pipe between Nodes 33 and 34.The slope of this 600 foot long pipe is 0.007 ft/ft.With a free discharge, the maximum capacity of this pipe is approximately 70 cubic feet per second (n=0.024 for CMP). The 2003 Point Edwards drainage report estimated a 100-year recurrence peak flow from the Point Edwards development and the offsite flows to this pipe to be approximately 81 cfs and that the pipe could handle approximately 107 cfs. Page 10of 11 Page 2-25 of the2013 City study concluded: “The Willow Creek 48-inch CMP pipe rehabilitation was added to the recommended alternative. This 600 foot pipe segment between the tide gate and the intake vault is reported to be in poor condition. Lining the pipe would improve its hydraulic performance by reducing the roughness which modeling efforts show help lower marsh water levels. In addition, the lining would ensure the pipe’s long-term structural integrity for future use. A recent video by the City confirmed the pipe is in poor condition. Also note that the existing CMP pipe is rarely at free discharge since it is tidally influenced from April through October when the tide gate is locked open and the flow must “push against”the tide gate from November through March.These factors further restrict its capacity. For these reasons, based on the current downstream analysis, an exemption from MR#7 cannot be granted. Per Section 4.10.2 of the Edmonds Stormwater Code Supplement: “If a capacity problem, streambank erosion problem, or other problem with the downstream system is encountered in the analysis, the runoff flow from the project site will be restricted per Minimum Requirement #7 –Flow Control or other mitigation may be proposed by the applicant subject to review by the Public Works Director or Designee.” The City is open to a meeting to discuss “other mitigation” proposed by the applicant. Provide as-built drawing of the water quality pond, its outlet structure, and discharge pipe. 2. The City refers to the open channel that drains Edmonds Marsh as “Willow Creek” not 3. Hansen Creek.Please remove references to Hansen Creek. Additional comments will likely be generated once item 1. Is resolved. 4. Page 11of 11
