PROJECT OVERVIEW
This stormwater site plan report summarizes the storm drainage analysis and design for the
proposed Port of Edmonds Marine Retail project. The project will construct a 6,650-square-foot
retail building along Admiral Way. The existing site is a paved parking lot owned by the Port of
Edmonds (Port). The project will include Low Impact Development features and water quality
treatment. The project is in the planning stages and is under review for a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit.
METHODOLOGY
Drainage design for the project is based on Edmonds Development Code Chapter 18.30 and the
Washington State Department of Ecology's (DOE) 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington (SWMMWW).
Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM 2012) is used for runoff calculations and
stormwater management modelling.
This project is a redevelopment project replacing more than 5,000 square feet of impervious area
and is subject to Minimum Requirements 1-10 in the SWMMWW.
The developed site will drain to the City of Edmonds' (City) storm sewer system in Admiral
Way and discharge directly to salt water.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #1 STORMWATER SITE PLANS
Existing Conditions Summary
The project site, 465 Admiral Way, is a 0.5-acre, Port -owned, existing parking lot on the east
side of Admiral Way. The site is generally flat. A majority of the site drains by sheet flow to
the parking lot recycling area to the south, and the west portion of the site drains by sheet flow
to Admiral Way. The existing site is entirely hard surface, consisting of asphalt and gravel -
over -asphalt areas. There is no existing storm drain infrastructure at the site.
EXISTING SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Pavement/Gravel over Pavement: 0.5 acres

A proposed drainage plan is included in Appendix A.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #2 SWPPP
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared for the project at a future
date. The SWPPP will provide guidance for the construction contractor to meet the requirements
of the DOE's Construction Stormwater General Permit. A summary of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) likely to be used at this site is listed below.
Element #1: Mark Clearing Limits
Silt fence will be installed along the low side of the project limits. Project limits will be marked
by temporary chain link fence or plastic orange protective fence.
Element #2: Establish Construction Access
A construction entrance will be provided from either Admiral Way or the adjacent Port -owned
property and constructed according to BUT C 105 of the Stonnwater Manual.
Element #3: Control Flow Rates
Temporary sediment traps will be used as needed to control flow rates.
Preliminary Stormwater Site Plan 2 • • , , , • ,
Port of Edmonds Marine Retail
Element #4: Install Sediment Controls
Sediment will be controlled using BMPs from the Stormwater Manual, including construction
entrances and wheel washes, temporary seeding and mulching, dust control, storm drain structure
inlet and outlet protection, silt fence, and sediment traps.
Element #5: Stabilize Soils
Exposed soils not being worked will be hydroseeded with an appropriate seed mix outlined in
BMP C120. Alternately, mulch, blankets, or plastic sheeting will be used to stabilize soils as
needed.
Element #6: Protect Slopes
There are no steep slopes at the project site.
Element #7: Protect Drain Inlets
Existing and proposed catch basins at or near the project site will be equipped with inlet
protection.
Element #8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets
Outlets to ditches or vegetated areas will be protected with quarry spalls or erosion blankets.
Element #9: Control Pollutants
Demolition debris will be transported off site to an approved disposal site. Materials used on the
project site will be properly stored and contained, and concrete will be handled per the guidelines
in the Stormwater Manual.
Element #10: Control De -Watering
Dewatering will not likely be required at this site. Any dewatering will be handled the same as
stormwater runoff.
Element #11: Maintain BMPs
Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control best management practices (Buys) will
be maintained and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended
function. Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with BMP specifications.
Element #12: Manage the Project
Clearing and grading activities shall be permitted only if conducted pursuant to an approved site
development plan that establishes permitted areas of grading, cutting, and filling. The contractor
will be required to manage the project per the requirements of the Construction Stormwater
General Permit.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #4 PRESEIZVATION OF NATURAL
DRAINAGE
The project site is currently fully developed and contains no natural drainage elements.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #5: ON -SITE STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT
This project is a redevelopment project that replaces more than 5,000 square feet of hard surfaces
and will drain directly to salt water through the City's storm sewer system.
Preliminary Stormwater Site Plan 4 • . , , , . ,
Port of Edmonds Marine Retail
Per City Code 18.30.060, Paragraph D.S.b.iv, the project does not have to meet the Low Impact
Development Performance Standard but does have to evaluate the following LID BMPs:
BMP T5.13 Post Construction Soil Quality and Depth
BMP T5.IOA Downspout Full Infiltration Systems
BUT T5.1 OB Downspout Dispersion Systems
BUT T5.1 OC Perforated Stub -out Connections
BMP T5.11 Concentrated Flow Dispersion
BMP T5.12 Sheet Flow Dispersion
Evaluation of LID Features
LID features are evaluated based on Infeasibility Criteria found in Appendix A of the City's
Stormwater Management Code.
BMP T5.13 Post Construction Soil Quality and Depth
No slopes on the site exceed 33 percent, so Post Construction Soil Quality and Depth is feasible
and will be used for landscape beds.
BMP T5.10A Downspout Full Infiltration Systems
Full downspout infiltration is infeasible, as the overflow could not be placed at least 1-foot below
the pavement. The site is flat with a shallow outfall invert elevation in Admiral Way that
prevents the storm drain system from being deep enough.
BMP TS.IOB Downspout Full Dispersion Systems
Full downspout dispersion is infeasible, as there is not a vegetation flow path available.
BMP T5.10 C Perforated Stub -Out Connections
Perforated stub -out connections are feasible and will be implemented.
BMP T5.11 Concentrated Flow Dispersion
Concentrated flow dispersion is not feasible, as there is not a vegetated flow path available.
BMP T5.12 Sheet Flow Dispersion
Sheet flow dispersion is not feasible, as there is not a vegetated flow path available.
Preliminary Stormwater Site Plan 5 • . , , , . ,
Port of Edmonds Marine Retail
Summary of LID Features
The project will implement BUT T5.13 Post Construction Soil Quality and Depth for landscape
beds. Building roof drains will be connected to the storm drain system with BUT T5.1 OC
Perforated Stub -Out Connections.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #6: RUNOFF TREATMENT
This project includes more than 5,000 square feet of pollution -generating hard surface and
requires stormwater quality treatment per Minimum Requirement #6. This site does not require
oil control, as it does not cross the threshold of 100 vehicles per day per 1,000 square feet of
building.
Basic treatment is required, as this site discharges to salt water through the City's MS4.
Proposed treatment will be provided by two StormFilter® Catch Basins in the parking lot.
Filter #1
Water Quality Flow = 0.0117cfs = 6gpm
Single Catch Basin StormFilter, with 7.5 gpm capacity ZPG Media Filter Cartridge.
Filter #2

GENERAL USE LEVEL DESIGNATION FOR BASIC (TSS) TREATMENT
For
CONTECH Engineered Solutions
Stormwater Management StormFilter'
With ZPG Media at 1 gpm/sq ft media surface area
Ecology's Decision:
Based on the CONTECH Engineered Solutions' (CONTECH) application
submissions, Ecology hereby issues a General Use Level Designation (GULD) for the
Stormwater Management StormFilter® (StormFilter):
1. As a basic stormwater treatment practice for total suspended solids (TSS)
removal,
• Using ZPGTM media (zeolite/perlite/granular activated carbon), with the size
distribution described below,
• Sized at a hydraulic loading rate of 1 gpm/ft2 of media surface area, per
Table 1, and
• Internal bypassing needs to be consistent with the design guidelines in
CONTECH's current product design manual.
Table 1. StormFilter Design Flow Rates per Cartridge
Effective Cartridge Height inches
12
18
27
Cartridge Flow Rate m/cartrid e
5
7.5
11.3
2. Ecology approves StormFilter systems containing ZPGTM media for treatment at
the hydraulic loading rates shown in Table 1, and sized based on the water
quality design flow rate for an off-line system. Contech designs their StormFilter
systems to maintain treatment of the water quality design flow while routing
excess flows around the treatment chamber during periods of peak bypass. The
water quality design flow rates are calculated using the following procedures:
• Western Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or
retention, the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute now rate
as calculated using the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology
Model or other Ecology -approved continuous runoff model.
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) P age 11
• Eastern Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or
retention, the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate
as calculated using one of the three methods described in Chapter 2.2.5 of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMI%IEW) or
local manual.
• Entire State: For treatment installed downstream of detention, the water
quality design flow rate is the full 2-year release rate of the detention facility.
3. This designation has no expiration date, but Ecology may amend or revoke it.
Ecology's Conditions of Use:
The StormFilter with ZPG media shall comply with the following conditions:
1. Design, install, operate, and maintain the StormFilter with ZPG media in
accordance with applicable Contech Engineered Solutions manuals,
documents, and the Ecology Decision.
2. Install StormFilter systems to bypass flows exceeding the water quality
treatment rate. Additionally, high flows will not re -suspend captured
sediments. Design StormFilter systems in accordance with the performance
goals in Ecology's most recent Stormwater Manual and CONTECH's
Product Design Manual Version 4. 1 (April 2006), or most current version,
unless otherwise specified.
3. Owners must follow the design, pretreatment, land use application, and
maintenance criteria in CONTECH's Design Manual.
4. Pretreatment of TSS and oil and grease may be necessary, and designers
shall provide pre-treatment in accordance with the most current versions of
the CONTECH's Product Design Manual (April 2006) or the applicable
Ecology Stormwater Manual. Design pre-treatment using the performance
criteria and pretreatment practices provided on Ecology's "Evaluation of
Emerging Stormwater Treatment Technologies" website.
5. Maintenance: The required maintenance interval for stormwater treatment
devices is often dependent upon the degree of pollutant loading from a
particular drainage basin. Therefore, Ecology does not endorse or
recommend a "one size fits all" maintenance cycle for a particular model/size
of manufactured filter treatment device.
• Typically, CONTECH designs StormFilter systems for a target filter
media replacement interval of 12 months. Maintenance includes
removing accumulated sediment from the vault, and replacing spent
cartridges with recharged cartridges.
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) Page 12
• Indications of the need for maintenance include effluent flow decreasing
to below the design flow rate, as indicated by the scumline above the
shoulder of the cartridge.
Owners/operators must inspect StormFilter with ZPG media for a
minimum of twelve months from the start of post -construction operation
to determine site -specific maintenance schedules and requirements. You
must conduct inspections monthly during the wet season, and every other
month during the dry season. (According to the SVf AE%IWW, the wet
season in western Washington is October 1 to April 30. According to
SWMMEW, the wet season in eastern Washington is October 1 to June
30). After the first year of operation, owners/operators must conduct
inspections based on the findings during the first year of inspections.
• Conduct inspections by qualified personnel, follow manufacturer's
guidelines, and use methods capable of determining either a decrease in
treated effluent flowrate and/or a decrease in pollutant removal ability.
• When inspections are performed, the following findings typically serve as
maintenance triggers:
• Accumulated vault sediment depths exceed an average of 2 inches, or
• Accumulated sediment depths on the tops of the cartridges exceed an
average of 0.5 inches, or
• Standing water remains in the vault between rain events, or
• Bypass occurs during storms smaller than the design storm.
Note: If excessive floatables (trash and debris) are present, perform a
minor maintenance consisting of gross solids removal, not cartridge
replacement.
6. CONTECH shall maintain readily available reports listed under
"Application Documents" (above) as public, as well as the documentation
submitted with its previous conditional use designation application.
CONTECH shall provide links to this information from its corporate
website, and make this information available upon request, at no cost and in
a timely manner.
7. ZPGTM media used shall conform with the following specifications:
Each cartridge contains a total of approximately 2.6 cubic feet of media.
The ZPGTM cartridge consists of an outer layer of perlite that is
approximately 1.3 cubic feet in volume and an inner layer, consisting of a
mixture of 90% zeolite and 10% granular activated carbon, which is
approximately 1.3 cubic feet in volume.
• Perlite Media: Perlite media shall be made of natural siliceous volcanic
rock free of any debris or foreign matter. The expanded perlite shall
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) P a g e 13
have a bulk density ranging from 6.5 to 8.5 lbs per cubic foot and particle
sizes ranging from 0.09" (#8 mesh) to 0.38" (3/8" mesh).
• Zeolite Media: Zeolite media shall be made of naturally occurring
clinoptilolite. The zeolite media shall have a bulk density ranging from
44 to 50 lbs per cubic foot and particle sizes ranging from 0.13" (#6 mesh)
to 0.19" (#4 mesh). Additionally, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of
zeolite shall range from approximately 1.0 to 2.2 meq/g.
• Granular Activated Carbon: Granular activated carbon (GAC) shall be
made of lignite coal that has been steam -activated. The GAC media shall
have a bulk density ranging from 28 to 31 lbs per cubic foot and particle
saes ranging from a 0.09" (#8 mesh) to 0.19" (#4 mesh).
Approved Alternate Confieurations
Peak Diversion StormFilter
1. The Peak Diversion StormFilter allows for off-line bypass within the StormFilter
structure. Design capture flows and peak flows enter the inlet bay which contains an
internal weir. The internal weir allows design flows to enter the cartridge bay through
a transfer hole located at the bottom of the inlet bay while the unit routs higher flows
around the cartridge bay.
2. To select the size of the Peak Diversion StormFilter unit, the designer must determine
the number of cartridges required and size of the standard StormFilter using the site -
specific water quality design flow and the StormFilter Design Flow Rates per
Cartridge as described above.
3. New owners may not install the Peak Diversion StormFilter at an elevation or in a
location where backwatering may occur.

Applicant's Use Level Request:
That Ecology grant a General Use Level Designation for Basic Treatment for the
StonnFilter using ZPGTM media (zeolite/perlite/granular activated carbon) at a hydraulic
loading rate of 1 gpm/ft2 of media surface area in accordance with Ecology's 2011
Technical Guidance Manual for Evaluating Emerging Stormwater Treatment
Technologies Technology Assessment Protocol —Ecology (TAPE).
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) Page 15
Applicant's Performance Claim:
The combined data from the two field sites reported in the TER (Heritage Marketplace
and Lake Stevens) indicate that the performance of a StormFilter system configured for
inline bypass with ZPGTM media and a hydraulic loading rate of 1 gpm/ft2 of media
surface area meets Ecology performance goals for Basic Treatment.
Ecology's Recommendations:
Based on the weight of the evidence and using its best professional judgment, Ecology
finds that:
StormFilter, using ZPGTM media and operating at a hydraulic loading rate of no more
than 1 gpm/ft of media surface area, is expected to provide effective stormwater
treatment achieving Ecology's Basic Treatment (TSS removal) performance goals.
Contech demonstrated this is through field and laboratory testing performed in
accordance with the approved protocol. StormFilter is deemed satisfactory with
respect to factors other than treatment performance (e.g., maintenance; see the
protocol's Appendix B for complete list).
Findings of Fact:
• Influent TSS concentrations and particle size distributions were generally within the
range of what Ecology considers "typical" for western Washington (silt -to -silt loam).
• Contech sampled thirty-two (32) storm events at two sites for storms from April 2003
to March 2004, of which Contech deemed twenty-two (22) as "qualified" and were
therefore included in the data analysis set.
• Statistical analysis of these 22 storm events verifies the data set's adequacy.
• Analyzing all 22 qualifying events, the average influent and effluent concentrations
and aggregate pollutant load reduction are 114 mg/L, 25 mg/L, and 82%,
respectively.
• Analyzing all 22 qualifying events based on the estimated average flow rate during
the event (versus the measured peak flow rate), and more heavily weighting those
events near the design rate (versus events either far above or well below the design
rate) does not significantly affect the reported results.
• For the 7 qualifying events with influent TSS concentrations greater than 100 mg/L,
the average influent and effluent concentrations and aggregate pollutant load
reduction are 241 mg/L, 34 mg/L, and 89%, respectively. If we exclude the 2 of 7
events that exceed the maximum 300 mg/L specified in Ecology's guidelines, the
average influent and effluent concentrations and aggregate pollutant load reduction
are 158 mg/L, 35 mg/L, and 78%, respectively.
• For the 15 qualifying events with influent TSS concentrations less than 100 mg/L, the
average influent and effluent concentrations and aggregate pollutant load reduction
are 55 mg/L, 20 mg/L, and 61 %, respectively. If the 6 of 15 events that fall below the
minimum 33 mg/L TSS specified in Ecology's guidelines are excluded, the average
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) P age 16
influent and effluent concentrations and aggregate pollutant load reduction are 78
mg/L, 26 mg/L, and 67%, respectively.
• For the 8 qualifying events with peak discharge exceeding design flow (ranging from
120 to 257% of the design rate), results ranged from 52% to 96% TSS removal, with
an average of 72%.
• Due to the characteristics of the hydrographs, the field results generally reflect flows
below (ranging between 20 and 60 percent of) the tested facilities' design rate.
During these sub -design flow rate periods, some of the cartridges operate at or near
their individual full design flow rate (generally between 4 and 7.5 GPM for an 18"
cartridge effective height) because their float valves have opened. Float valves
remain closed on the remaining cartridges, which operate at their base "trickle" rate
of 1 to 1.5 GPM.
• Laboratory testing using U.S. Silica's Sil-Co-Sil 106 fine silica product showed an
average 87% TSS removal for testing at 7.5 GPM per cartridge (100% design flow
rate).
• Other relevant testing at I-5 Lake Union, Greenville Yards (New Jersey), and Ski Run
Marina (Lake Tahoe) facilities shows consistent TSS removals in the 75 to 85%
range. Note that the evaluators operated the I-5 Lake Union at 50%, 10001o, and
125% of design flow.
• SMI's application included a satisfactory "Factors other than treatment performance"
discussion.
Note: Ecology's 80% TSS removal goal applies to 100 mg/l and greater influent TSS.
Below 100 mg/L influent TSS, the goal is 20 mg/L effluent TSS.
Technology Description:
The Stormwater Management StormFilter® (StormFilter), a flow -through stormwater
filtration system, improves the quality of stormwater runoff from the urban environment
by removing pollutants. The StormFilter can treat runoff from a wide variety of sites
including, but not limited to: retail and commercial development, residential streets,
urban roadways, freeways, and industrial sites such as shipyards, foundries, etc.
Operation:
The StormFilter is typically comprised of a vault that houses rechargeable, media -filled,
filter cartridges. Various media may be used, but this designation covers only the zeolite-
perlite-granulated activated carbon (ZPGTM) medium. Stormwater from storm drains
percolates through these media -filled cartridges, which trap particulates and may remove
pollutants such as dissolved metals, nutrients, and hydrocarbons. During the filtering
process, the StormFilter system also removes surface scum and floating oil and grease.
Once filtered through the media, the treated stormwater is directed to a collection pipe or
discharged to an open channel drainage way.
This document includes a bypass schematic for flow rates exceeding the water quality
design flow rate on page 8.
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) Page 17
StormFilter Configurations:
Contech offers the StormFilter in multiple configurations: precast, high flow, catch basin,
curb inlet, linear, volume, corrugated metal pipe, drywell, and CON/Span form. Most
configurations use pre -manufactured units to ease the design and installation process.
Systems may be either uncovered or covered underground units.
The typical precast StormFilter unit is composed of three sections: the energy dissipater,
the filtration bay, and the outlet sump. As Stormwater enters the inlet of the StormFilter
vault through the inlet pipe, piping directs stormwater through the energy dissipater into
the filtration bay where treatment will take place. Once in the filtration bay, the
stormwater ponds and percolates horizontally through the media contained in the
StormFilter cartridges. After passing through the media, the treated water in each
cartridge collects in the cartridge's center tube from where piping directs it into the outlet
sump by a High Flow Conduit under -drain manifold. The treated water in the outlet
sump discharges through the single outlet pipe to a collection pipe or to an open channel
drainage way. In some applications where you anticipate heavy grit loads, pretreatment
by settling may be necessary.

Figure 2. The StormFilter Cartridge
Cartridge Operation:
As the water level in the filtration bay begins to rise, stormwater enters the StormFilter
cartridge. Stormwater in the cartridge percolates horizontally through the filter media
and passes into the cartridge's center tube, where the float in the cartridge is in a closed
(downward) position. As the water level in the filtration bay continues to rise, more
water passes through the filter media and into the cartridge's center tube. Water
displaces the air in the cartridge and it purges from beneath the filter hood through the
one-way check valve located in the cap. Once water fills the center tube, there is enough
buoyant force on the float to open the float valve and allow the treated water to flow into
the under -drain manifold. As the treated water drains, it tries to pull in air behind it. This
causes the check valve to close, initiating a siphon that draws polluted water throughout
the full surface area and volume of the filter. Thus, water filters through the entire filter
cartridge throughout the duration of the storm, regardless of the water surface elevation in
the filtration bay. This continues until the water surface elevation drops to the elevation
of the scrubbing regulators. At this point, the siphon begins to break and air quickly
flows beneath the hood through the scrubbing regulators, causing energetic bubbling
between the inner surface of the hood and the outer surface of the filter. This bubbling
agitates and cleans the surface of the filter, releasing accumulated sediments on the
surface, flushing them from beneath the hood, and allowing them to settle to the vault
floor.
Adjustable cartridge flow rate:
Inherent to the design of the StormFilter is the ability to control the individual cartridge
flow rate with an orifice -control disc placed at the base of the cartridge. Depending on
the treatment requirements and on the pollutant characteristics of the influent stream as
CONTECH - StormFilter® GULD Maintenance Update (November 2012) P age 110
specified in the CONTECH Product Design Manual, operators may adjust the flow rate
through the filter cartridges. By decreasing the flow rate through the filter cartridges, the
influent contact time with the media is increased and the water velocity through the
system is decreased, thus increasing both the level of treatment and the solids removal
efficiencies of the filters, respectively (de Ridder, 2002).
Recommended research and development:
Ecology encourages CONTECH to pursue continuous improvements to the StormFilter.
To that end, CONTECH recommends the following actions:
Determine, through laboratory testing, the relationship between accumulated solids
and flow rate through the cartridge containing the ZPGTM media. Completed 11/05.
Determine the system's capabilities to meet Ecology's enhanced, phosphorus, and oil
treatment goals.
Develop easy -to -implement methods of determining that a StormFilter facility
requires maintenance (cleaning and filter replacement).
