RAM No. 17-018 Stormwater Site Plan Report
A. PROJECT OVERVIEW.
This report provides engineering information for the proposed construction of a single-family residential 2-
Lot short plat on a 16,434 sf (0.38 ac) lot; the project is located at 9215 Bowdoin Way in the City of Edmonds.
The applicant, Select Homes proposes to remove the existing residence and all existing hard surface to
construct two single family residences on the project site. This report provides the evaluation for the
proposed 2-lot single-family residence development.
Summary of Minimum Requirements for Category 1 Project:
Minimum Requirement #1 —Preparation of Stormwater Site Plan. The proposed site development consists
of disturbing about 0.38 acres of land and creating/replacing about 7,520 sf (greater than 5,000 sf) of hard
surface area. Thus, the project is classified as a Category 2 project per the City's classification system. Per
ECDC 18.30, Category 2 projects must comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9. The civil
site development plans and this report have been prepared to address the projects impacts.
Minimum Requirement #2 — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPPP). A construction
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has be incorporated into the site development plans. A
summary of the site's erosion control measures that evaluates the typical 13 elements of a SWPPP are
included in section E. The total site disturbance area of the project is less than one acre, thus a formal Notice
of Intent application for NPDES coverage will not be made to the Department of Ecology. The grading
quantities are estimated to be 350 CY of cut and 50 CY of fill.
Minimum Requirement #3 —Source Control of Pollution. Specific source controls are not required for single
family residential sites. General requirements for these sites include preventing the discharge of pollutants
to the City's storm drainage system per Edmonds City Code Chapter 7.200 (Illicit Discharges). This includes
common household items such as pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, detergents and fluids from vehicle
maintenance.
Single family residences shall incorporate DOE's S411 BMPs for landscape and lawn vegetation
management. Lawn and vegetation management can include control of objectionable weeds, insects, mold,
bacteria, and other pests with pesticides. Examples include weed control on golf course lawns, access roads,
and utility corridors and during landscaping; sap stain and insect control on lumber and logs; rooftop moss
removal; killing nuisance rodents; fungicide application to patio decks, and residential lawn/plant care. It is
possible to release toxic pesticides such as pentachlorophenol, carbamates, and organometallics to the
environment by leaching and dripping from treated parts, container leaks, product misuse, and outside
storage of pesticide contaminated materials and equipment. Poor management of the vegetation and poor
application of pesticides or fertilizers can cause appreciable stormwater contamination.

Minimum Requirement #4 — Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls. The site generally
slopes in a westerly direction, stormwater leaving the site would sheet flow westerly to 92"d PI W and
enter the stormwater pipe and catch basin system along 92nd PI W (near the southwest corner of the site),
Discharge flows for the developed site will either continue to sheet flow (lower lawn areas) or will be
tight -line (roof and yard drains) into a storm system catch basin in 92"d PI W near the southwest corner of
the site. The proposed site development will maintain the natural drainage outfall of the site (catch basin
in 92"d PI W). The local stormwater system within 92"d PI W discharges south to Bowdion Way which
directs the stormwater westerly. The site is located within the upper reach of the Shell Creek watershed
basin per the City of Edmonds maps (see section Q.
Minimum Requirement #5 — Onsite Stormwater Management. A site specific geotechnical evaluation of
the site recommends two stormwater BMPs for the site; BMP T5.13: Post -Construction Soil Quality and
Depth and BMP T5.10C: Perforated Stub -out Connections based on the site's soil conditions. In accordance
with Edmonds Code, lawn and landscape areas will be managed by post -construction soil quality and depth
(soil amendments); roof tops will be managed by perforated stub -out connections; and other hard surfaces
will be managed by detention a pipe designed in accordance with the Edmonds Storm water Addendum. See
civil site development plans and Section C for additional stormwater BMP evaluation and construction
details.
5.6 Minimum Requirement #6 — Runoff Treatment. The project does not propose to create/replace more
than 5,000 sf of pollution -generation hard surface onsite. The project will create about 1,300 sf pollution
generation hard surfaces (driveways); most the site's hard surface is rooftop and walkway/patio areas (non -
pollution generation surfaces). Thus, no basic or enhanced water quality treatment system is required.
5.7 Minimum Requirement #7 — Flow Control. The project does not propose to create/replace more than
10,000 sf of effective imperious surfaces, or convert 0.75 acres or more of vegetation to lawn or
landscape. The 0.38 acer project proposed to create/replace 7,520 sf of hard surface; thus exempt from
flow control per ECDC 18.30.060.D.7.b. As discussed above each lot will implement BMP T5.13: Post -
Construction Soil Quality and Depth; BMP T5.10C: Perforated Stub -out Connections; and install a detention
a pipe (per Edmonds Stormwater Addendum) onsite stormwater management BMPs.
5.8 Minimum Requirement #8— Wetland Protection. No wetlands are known to exist on or adjacent to the
site.
5.9 Minimum Requirement #9 — Operation and Maintenance. An operation and maintenance summary is
provided in section H.

B. EXISTING CONDITIONS SUMMARY
Existing Conditions. The total site consists of about 16,434 sf (0.38 acre) and is currently occupied by a
single-family residence construction around 1957. There is an access driveway for the existing onsite
residence that cuts across the neighboring property to the east that access Bowdoin Way (to be removed
and not used for the site development). The site is surrounded by single family residences to the north,
vacant lots to the east, 92"d PI W to the west and Bowdoin Way to the south (see attached aerial photo).
The site is generally slopes in a westerly direction in a range between 2% and 5%; with a steep
bank/rockery along a portion of the westerly boundary and southerly boundary. No define drainage
courses are found on -site and stormwater runoff would sheet flow in a westerly direction. No stream or
wetlands were discovered on or immediately adjacent to the site. Additional discussion of the local
drainage basin and downstream path is discussed in Section C of this report.
Soils: In accordance with the project's site specific geotechnical engineering study by Earth Solutions NW,
LLC the on -site soils consist of silty sand (USCS: SM) glacial till deposits. The subject site is underlain by glacial
till deposits (Qvt, Alderwood series soils). Full soils description is included in the project's site specific
geotechnical engineering study by Earth Solutions NW, LLC.

C. DEVELOPED SITE HYDROLOTY:
Developed Conditions. The proposed project includes the construction of two single residence and
associated driveway and utilities. All existing structures and impervious surface onsite will be
removed/replaced with the site development; landscaping and grass lawn around the new residence will
stabilize the site upon building construction.
The project proposes to create and/or replace 7,520 sf of hard surface with the complete site
development (Lot 1=3,910 sf and Lot 2 = 3,610 sf). All existing onsite hard surface will be removed with
the project site development. The following is a summary of the proposed new/replaced hard surface
areas:
Hard Surface Summary:
Lot 1 (House 3,000 + Driveway 800 + Sidewalk/Patio 110) = 3,910 sf
Lot 2 (House 3,000 + Driveway 500 + Sidewalk/Patio 110) = 3,610 sf
Lot Hard Surface = 7,520 sf (0.172 ac)
In accordance with the Edmonds City Code (18.30) Category 2 projects shall meet MR 5 and provide on -
site stormwater management. To meet these criteria, the proposed hard surfaces of the site shall
implement BMPs from "List No. 2" or meet the LID performance standard. The attached geotechnical
evaluation letter assesses the feasibility criteria of each stormwater BMP; per the evaluation only BMP
T5.10C: Perforated Stub -out Connections, and BMP T5.13: Post -Construction Soil Quality and Depth are
considered feasible (dispersion, infiltration, rain gardens, and bioretention are all considered infeasible).
The proposed 3,00s sf (for each Lot 1 and 2) roof areas (less than 5,000 sf each), will be collected and routed
through individual lot perforated stub -out prior to discharging from the site; and thus, will be considered a
manage hard surface and no other BMPs are necessary for the roof area. The driveway, patio and walk
ways and frontage improvement areas ("other hard surfaces") will total 1,520 sf (lot 1= 910 sf and lot 2 =
610). A detention a pipe designed in accordance with the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum will be installed
to manage the "other hard surfaces" proposed. In accordance with the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum
(Section 6.3), 52 feet of 18" detention pipe will mitigate the 1,520 sf of other hard surface area (L = 0.034 x
1,520 = 51.7 ft). A detention pipe will be installed along the westerly boundary of the site to manage the
additional proposed "other hard surfaces".
Additionally, all disturbed pervious (lawn and landscape) areas will preserve or restore the health and water -
holding capacity of the soils by compost -amending (Per DOE BMP T5.13: Post -Construction Soil Quality and
Depth).

Attached below are the DOE summary criteria of BMP T5.10C: Perforated Stub -out Connections and BMP T5.13:
Post -Construction Soil Quality and Depth.
3.1.3 Perforated Stub -Out Connections (BMP T5.10C)
A perforated stub -out connection is a length of perforated pipe within a
gravel -filled trench that is placed between roof downspouts and a
snub -out to the local drainage system. Figme 3.1.8 illustrates a perforated
snub -out connection. These systems are intended to provide some
infiltration during drier months. During the wet winter months. they may
provide little or no flow control.
Applications R
Perforated stub -outs are not appropriate alien seasonal water table is less
Limitations
than one foot below trench bottom.
In projects subject to Muumiun Requirement #5 (see Volume 1),
perforated stub -out connections may be used only when all other higher
priority out -site stormiw•ater management BN Ps are not feasible. per the
criteria for each of those BMPs.
Select the location of the connection to allow a maximum amount of
runoff to infiltrate into the ground (ideally a dry. relatively well drained,
location). To facilitate nnaintenance, do not locate the perforated pipe
portion of the system under impervious or heavily compacted (e.g..
driveways and parking areas) surfaces. Use the same setbacks as for
infiltration trenches in Section 3.1.1.
Have a licensed geologist_ hydrogeologist, or engineering geologist
evaluate potential runoff discharges towards landslide hazard areas. Do
not place the perforated portion of the pipe on or above slopes greater than
20% or above erosion hazard areas without evaluation by a professional
engineer with geotechnical expertise or qualified geologist and jurisdiction
approval.
For sites with septic systems, the perforated portion of the pipe must be
downgradient of the drainfield primary and reserve areas. This
requirement can be waived if site topography will dearly prohibit flows
from intersecting the drainfield or where site conditions (soil permeability.
distance between systems, etc.) indicate that this is unnecessary.
Design Criteria
Perforated stub -out connections consist of at least 10 feet of perforated
pipe per 5,000 square feet of roof area laid in a level, 2-foot hide trench
backfilled with washed drain rock Extend the drain rock to a depth of at
least 8 lunches below the bottom of the pipe and cover the pipe. Lay the
pipe level and cover the rock trench with filter fabric and 6 inches of fill
(see Figure 3.1.8).
RunofjModel
Any flow reduction is variable and unpredictable. No computer mzodelurg
Representation
techniques are allowed that would predict any reduction in flow rates and
volumes from the connected area.

BMP T5.13: Post -Construction Soil Quality and Depth
Purpose and Naturally occurring (undisturbed) soil and vegetation provide important
Defiirifion stonnwater functions including: water infiltration: nutrient. sediment. and
pollutant adsorption: sediment and pollutant biofrltration: water interflow
storage and transmission: and pollutant decomposition. These fiunctions
are largely lost when development strips away native soil and vegetation
and replaces it with mininial topsoil and sod. Not only are these
important stonmlvater functions lost. but such landscapes themselves
become pollution generating pervious surfaces due to increased use of
pesticides. fertilizers and other landscaping and household'' industrial
chemicals. the concentration of pet wastes, and pollutants that
accompany roadside litter.
Establishing soil quality and depth regains greater stornnvater functions
in the post development landscape. provides increased treatment of
pollutants and sediments that result from development and habitation.
and minimizes the need for some landscaping chemicals. thus reducing
pollution through prevention.
:applications and Establishing a minini um soil quality and depth is not the same as
Limitations preservation of naturally occurring soil and vegetation. However.
establishing a rnnirnirmurnn soil quality and depth will provide unproved orn-
site managennent of storniwater flow and water quality.
Soil organic matter can be attained through numerous materials such as
compost. connposted woody material. biosolids. aid forest product
residuals. It is important that the materials used to meet the soil quality
and depth BMP be appropriate and beneficial to the plant cover to be
established. Likewise. it is important that imported topsoils improve soil
conditions and do not have an excessive percent of clay fines.
This BMP can be considered infeasible on till soil slopes greater than 33
Percent.

where feasible.
2. Mulch planting beds with 2 inches of organic material
3, Use compost arnd other materials that meet thesc organic content
requirements:
a. The organic content for -pre -approved" amendment rates can
be met only using compost meeting the compost specification
for Bioretention (BMP T7,30). with the exception that the
compost may have up to 35% biosolids or nnanure.
The compost must also have an organic matter content of 40%
to 65%. and a carbon to nitrogen ratio below 25:1.
The carbon to nitrogen ratio may be as high as 35:1 for
plantings composed entirely of plants native to the Puget
SOluid Lowlands region.
b. Calculated amendment rates may be met through use of
composted material meeting (a.) above: or other organic
materials amended to meet the carbon to nitrogen ratio
requirements, and not exceeding the contaminant limits
identified in Table 220-B. Testirng Parameters. in WAC 173-
350-220.
Tine resulting soil should be conducive to the type of vegetation to be
established.
• Implementation Options: The soil quality design guidelines listed
above can be met by using one of the methods listed below:
1. Leave undisturbed native vegetation and soil, and protect from
compaction during construction.
2. Amend existing site topsoil or subsoil either at default' -pre -
approved" rates. or at custom calculated rates based on tests of tine
soil and amendment.
3. Stockpile existing topsoil during grading. and replace it prior to
planting. Stockpiled topsoil must also be amended if needed to
meet the organic smatter or depth requirements. either at a default
'prc-approved" rate or at a custorn calculated rate.
4. Impost topsoil nix of sufficient organic content and depth to meet
the requirements.
More than one method may be used on different portions of the same
site. Soil that already meets the depth and organic matter quality
standards. and is not compacted. does not need to be amended.

Offsite Analysis. The site is located within the City of Edmonds Shell Creek watershed basin. The Shell Creek
basin is a centralized urban basin that collects stormwater runoff from primarily residential areas in the City
Edmonds and ultimately discharges flows northwesterly to Puget Sound via Shell Creek (see attached
watershed map).
Site runoff sheet flows off the site in a westerly direction and collects in 92"d PI W in a catch basin near the
southwest corner of the site. The stormwater system in 92"d PI W flows south to Bowdoin Way The Bowdoin
Way storm system flows northwesterly to 96th Ave W and then is directed north along the unopen right-of-
way of 96th Ave W and discharges to Shell Creek about 2,100 ft from the site. At this point Shell Creek
generally flows in a northwesterly direction and eventually discharges to the Puget Sound about 1.6 miles
from the site.
No apparent flooding or system inadequacies within downstream of the site were discovered during site
visits or research of the downstream system.
See attached watershed and downstream drainage facility map for the local downstream path.

E. CONSTRUCTION SWPPP REQUIREMENTS:
The project will require grading to construct the proposed buildings and utilities (including the stormwater
infiltration trench systems). Standard erosion control measures are proposed to be used during
construction. The primary erosion and sediment control BMP during construction will be proper soil
stabilization methods. Exposed soils shall be stabilized by application of effective BMPs that protect the
soil from the erosive forces of raindrops, flowing water, and wind. Applicable practices include, but not
limited to, temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic covering, erosion control fabrics,
matting, soil application of polyacrylamide (pam), the early application of gravel base on areas to be
paved, and dust control. The contractor shall select a soil stabilization method best suited for the
particular situation. Stock piles must be stabilized and protected with sediment trapping measures. In
addition, site containment of exposed soils shall be sustained by using silt fence barriers along the down -
slope boundaries of the site's disturbance areas. See the site development plan for details.
Soils: In accordance with the project's site specific geotechnical engineering study by Earth Solutions NW,
LLC the on -site soils consist of silty sand (Unified Soil Classification System: SM) Vashon till. Per geologic
mapping the subject site is underlain by Vashon till (Qvt); Earth Solutions NW, LLC. recommends the
limited use of the stormwater BMPs (Post -Construction Soil Quality and Depth BMP T5.13 and Perforated
Stub -out Connections BMP T5.10C) due to the existing till soils present on site. A full soils description is
included in the site specific geotechnical engineering study by Earth Solutions NW, LLC.
Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP): The following is a summary of the site's
erosion control measures that evaluates the typical DOE 13 elements of a SWPPP:
Element 1: Mark Clearing Limits: Clearing limits have been delineated on the engineering site
development plans.
Element 2: Establish Construction Access: A construction access has been delineated on the engineering
site development plans.
Element 3: Control Flow Rates: During construction silt fencing will provide attenuation of site runoff and
upon project completion and stabilization (established lawns and landscape of exposed
soils), the infiltration storm system will provide flow control.
Element 4: Install Sediment Controls: Filter fabric fence has been delineated and detailed on the
engineering site development plans. At a minimum, silt fence will be installed along the
down gradient perimeter of the disturbed area that will receive sediment -laden runoff.
Element 5: Stabilize Soils: Soils will be stabilized per the TESC notes listed on the engineering site
development plans.
Element 6: Protect Slopes: Exposed slopes shall be stabilized per the TESC notes listed on the engineering
site development plans.

Element 7: Protect Drain Inlets: Drain inlet protection will be installed on all catch basins that will receive
sediment -laden runoff. See the engineering site development plans for locations and detail.
Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets: This element is not applicable since there are no temporary
channels or outlets proposed.
Element 9: Control Pollutants: Pollutants shall be managed as described in the TESC notes listed on the
engineering site development plans.
Element 10: Control De -Watering: Highly turbid or contaminated de -watering water shall be handled
separately from stormwater. The water from all de -watering systems for trenches and
foundations shall be treated or disposed prior to discharging from the site.
Element 11: MaintainBMPs: BMPs shall be maintained and removed at the end of the project as follows:
L All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be inspected,
maintained and repaired in accordance with the Drainage Manual or as approved or
required by the City to assure continued performance of their intended function in
accordance with BMP specifications.
ii. The applicant may remove temporary BMPs when they are no longer needed.
iii. All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after
construction is completed and the City has determined that the site is stabilized.
Element 12: Manage the Project: The owner of the site is responsible for managing the installation and
maintenance of the site BMPs.
Element 13. Protect Low Impact Development BMPs: Compaction (i.e. vehicle and equipment traffic or
storage; and/or placement of stockpiles) to the soils in the area of the stormwater BMPs
(Post -Construction Soil Quality and Depth BMP T5.13 and Perforated Stub -out Connections
BMP T5.10C) shall be avoided during construction.
Grading Quantity Approximation: The below listed grading quantities have been estimated using the
AutoCAD 3D modeling of the site; estimated quantities are for permitting purposes only.
Estimated grading site development quantities:
Cut: 350 CY
Fill: 50 CY
Conclusion: The final site development construction plans include specific grading and drainage
improvement notes and details. With proper installation, maintenance and inspections of the proposed
construction the project should have minimal impact to the surrounding environment.

F. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES:
These guidelines are intended to provide operation and maintenance instructions for the project's storm
drainage control facilities. The owners are responsible for maintenance of storm drainage facilities
within the property (private property owners system); the owners are not responsible for maintenance
within the public right-of-way (City system).
Private Property Owners: Private property owners are responsible for properly maintaining the stormwater
infrastructure on their property to ensure it operates as designed. The City has developed an inspection
program to ensure private property owners are properly maintaining their stormwater systems.
City System: City crews perform maintenance activities on the entire storm drainage system, including
inspection and cleaning of catch basins, street sweeping, emergency flooding response, creek
maintenance, inspection and monitoring of private stormwater detention systems.
Operation and Maintenance Requirements for private property owner system:
This manual is not comprehensive; although it explains the intended operation of the various
components of the drainage system, and suggests a routine of inspection and maintenance, it cannot
anticipate every problem. Once a historical record of maintenance is established, it may be prudent to
alter the routine. It is recommended that maintenance records be kept, and that the records be
reviewed periodically.
Concept of Operation: The drainage design is shown and described in the site development engineering
plans and report. The approved site development plans and report should be retained by the owner and
used as a reference to identify stormwater BMP facilities outlined in this manual.
Conveyance Systems. The design objective in pipe sizing was to convey the large storm events without
the water surface exceeding the ground elevation. Frequent overtopping of the pipe system in an area
might indicate a downstream blockage. Overtopping of the drain systems at the catch -basins is an
indication that maintenance is required.
The following pages outline standard general maintenance criteria for the project's drainage facilities.
For additional and updated maintenance information visit the Washington State Department of
Ecology's web -site at: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/wghome.htmI
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
ECDC Section 18.30.090 requires privately -owned
stormwater management facilities, such as LID
BMPs be properly maintained. The owner of the
property is the responsible party for such
maintenance. The system must be kept in good
working order. The entire system should be
inspected once per year. An improperly maintained
BMP may cause private property or street Flooding.
RAMEngineering, Inc
RAM No. 17-018
Contact the City Engineering Division for
maintenance information.
The City may make periodic inspections of BMPs to
ensure they are operating properly, ECDC Section
18.30.100 contains the enforcement provisions the
City can use to ensure the system is properly
maintained.
