(Additionally, provide information on previous permits, if any, like Grade and Fill, Clear and Grade, topography,
vegetation, drainage, Critical Areas adjacent to the site and how it may affect this project if soils are disturbed,
Soils Type (Included in Soils Analysis Report), Erosion Problem Areas, Construction Phasing\Sequence )
The existing site has minimal vegetation, one building, asphalt pavement, utilities (gas, storm, water, electrical,
sewer), and concrete sidewalk. Generally, the site slopes south to north with approximately 11-feet of elevation
drop.
Stormwater runoff from the existing site is collected by catch basins and conveyed to existing stormwater
outfalls to Fidalgo Bay. Stormwater from the City of Anacortes (City) right-of-way (ROW) to the west (R/Q
Avenue) is collected at the 20th Street intersection and conveyed east to a 12” stormwater outfall on-site under
easement.
The last known permit for this area was a 2021 clearing and grading permit and shoreline substantial
development permit. The surrounding properties were rough graded and roadway infrastructure installed.
Developed Conditions Summary:
(Additionally, to be shown on the site plan. Identify cut and fill areas, proposed slopes of all hard
surfaces , proposed contours)
The site will be rough graded to generally slope to the north towards toward a interceptor swales along the
sides of 20th Street. The interceptor swales will will tie in to existing swales routed to catch basins. Runoff will
be collected by the existing drainage structures and conveyed to the existing stormwater drainage system and
discharged to Fidalgo Bay through the existing 36” stormwater outfall.

TAB 1 (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #1)
• 1-3.4.1 Minimum Requirement #1 – Prepare a Stormwater Site Plan
Note: The level of detail needed for each step depends upon the project size. Provide a narrative
description of each step.
Step 1 – Analyze Existing Site Conditions to Determine LID Feasibility
The existing site analysis is intended to determine the pre-development conditions on the site in
addition to determining the appropriateness for use of Low Impact Development (LID) techniques.
Site conditions as identified in this step will determine the feasibility of the overall stormwater design
including use of LID techniques. The development context shall be established by an existing site
analysis consistent with the requirements detailed in this Step.
The initial inventory and analysis process will provide baseline information necessary to design
strategies that utilize areas most appropriate to evaporate, transpire, and infiltrate stormwater, and
achieve the goal of mimicking the pre-development natural hydrologic conditions on the site.
The existing site analysis shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
1. A survey prepared by a registered land surveyor, civil engineer, or other qualified professional
showing: (See this section for additional items to include)
2. A soils report prepared by a professional soil scientist certified by the Soil Science Society of
America (or an equivalent national program), or by other suitably trained persons working under the
supervision of a professional engineer, geologist, hydrogeologist, or engineering geologist registered in
the State of Washington.
The project is not proposing any new or replaced hard surfaces subject to LID facilities. Existing site
conditions are documented in the following:
Record of Survey performed – Appendix 1___________________________________________
Preliminary Infiltration Report by Coastal Geologic Services (November 27, 2019) – Appendix 2
Geotechnical Report – Appendix 2_________________________________________________
Site pictures – Appendix 6_______________________________________________________
Step 2 - Prepare Preliminary Development Layout
Based upon the existing site analysis results, locate the buildings, roads, parking lots, landscaping
features, LID BMPs, and preliminary location of Runoff Treatment and Flow Control BMPs for the
proposed development. Consider the following points when laying out the site:
• Fit development to the terrain to minimize land disturbance; confine construction activities to the
least area necessary, and away from critical areas.
• Preserve areas with natural vegetation (especially forested areas) as much as possible.
• On sites with a mix of soil types, locate impervious areas over less permeable soil (e.g., till), try to
restrict development over more porous soils or take advantage of them by locating bioretention, rain
gardens and/or permeable pavement over them.
• Cluster buildings together.
• Minimize impervious areas.
• Maintain and utilize the natural drainage patterns.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 8
The project is not proposing any new or replaced hard surfaces subject to LID facilities. Cleared areas
will be converted to lawn and use Compost Amended Soil per BMP T5.13. See Site Plan in Appendix
5.___________________________________________________________
Step 3 - Perform Off-site Analysis
City of Anacortes requires an off-site analysis for projects that add 5,000 SF or more of new hard
surfaces, or convert ¾ acres of vegetation to lawn or landscape areas, or convert 2.5 acres of forested
area to pasture.
Off-site analysis extends to ¼ mile downstream of the project site.
Off-site analysis is not required for this project because it does not meet the above requirements.
Step 4 – Determine and Read the Applicable Minimum Requirements (Place at the front end of
the document before MR#1)
I-3.3 Applicability of the Minimum Requirements establishes project thresholds for the
application of Minimum Requirements to new development and redevelopment projects. Figure
I-3.1: Flow Chart for Determining Requirements for New Development (Included in the report)
and Figure I-3.2: Flow Chart for Determining Requirements for Redevelopment (Included in
the report) provide the same thresholds in a flow chart format. Based on the preliminary
layout, determine whether Minimum Requirements #1 and #2 only apply to the project, or #1
through #5 only apply to the project, or #1 through #9 apply.
The project is subject to Minimum Requirements #1-5 for new and replaced hard surfaces and the land
disturbed.
Step 5 - Prepare a Permanent Stormwater Control Plan (Place in Appendix 5 of this report)
(Due to the extent of required information for this section, refer to this section of the Ecology
Manual for requirements.)
The Site Plan is included in Appendix 5._________________________________________________
Step 6 - Prepare a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Place in MR#2 – 13
Elements)
The Construction SWPPP for projects adding or replacing 2,000 square feet of hard surface or
more, or clearing 7,000 square feet or more, must contain sufficient information to satisfy the
local government Plan Approval Authority that the potential pollution problems have been
adequately addressed for the proposed project. Local governments may adopt a standard
SWPPP format for use by projects less than 1 acre. An adequate Construction SWPPP includes
a narrative and drawings. The narrative is a written statement to explain and justify the pollution
prevention decisions made for a particular project. The narrative contains concise information
concerning existing site conditions, construction schedules, and other pertinent items that are
not contained on the drawings. The drawings and notes describe where and when the various
BMPs should be installed, the performance the BMPs are expected to achieve, and actions to
be taken if the performance goals are not achieved.
See II-2.4 Preparing Construction SWPPPs for details about what to include in the project's
Construction SWPPP.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 9
This project will use the active SWPPP for the site as a continuation of the rough grading work. See
approved SWPPP in Appendix 9._______________________________________________________
Step 7 - Complete the stormwater site plan
The Stormwater Site Plan encompasses the entire submittal to the Local Agency with drainage
review authority. Refer to this section of the Manual for further clarification of each item
and what is required. See below:
A. Project Overview (Front End)
B. Existing Conditions Summary (Front End)

TAB 2 (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #2)
1-3.4.2 Minimum Requirement #2 – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP)
All new development and redevelopment projects are responsible for preventing erosion and discharge
of sediment and other pollutants into receiving waters.
Projects which result in 2,000 square feet or more of new plus replaced hard surface area, or which
disturb 7,000 square feet or more of land must prepare a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) as part of the Stormwater Site Plan (see MR1: Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans).
Projects below those thresholds (listed above) are not required to prepare a Construction SWPPP, but
must consider all of the Construction SWPPP Elements (listed below) and develop controls for all
Construction SWPPP Elements that pertain to the project site.
General Requirements:
The Construction SWPPP shall include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs shall be clearly referenced
in the narrative and marked on the drawings. The Construction SWPPP narrative shall include
documentation to explain and justify the pollution prevention decisions made for the project. Each of the
13 Construction SWPPP Elements (listed below) must be considered and included in the Construction
SWPPP unless site conditions render the Element unnecessary and the exemption from that Element is
clearly justified in the narrative of the SWPPP.
Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted pursuant to an
approved site development plan (e.g., subdivision approval) that establishes permitted areas of
clearing, grading, cutting, and filling. These permitted clearing and grading areas and any other areas
required to preserve critical or sensitive areas, buffers, native growth protection easements, or tree
retention areas, shall be delineated on the site plans and the development site.
The Construction SWPPP shall be implemented beginning with initial land disturbance and until final
stabilization. Sediment and Erosion control BMPs shall be consistent with the BMPs contained in II-3
Construction Stormwater BMPs.
Seasonal Work Limitations: From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil
disturbing activities shall only be permitted if shown to the satisfaction of the local permitting authority
that silt-laden runoff will be prevented from leaving the site through a combination of the following:
1. Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type and proximity to receiving
waters; and
2. Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and
3. Proposed erosion and sediment control measures.
The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing and grading limitations:
1. Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs,
2. Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the soil or
result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil, and
3. Activities where there is one hundred percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the site in
approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities.

13 Elements of SWPPP
(Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
Please check off boxes to show that each element has been read and understood. Provide details where
applicable and if certain aspects are unnecessary or exempt, clearly justify. Details of the 13 Elements and the
correlating BMPs are listed Above from the 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington
(SWMMWW). A link is provided on the City of Anacortes website, under Planning, Community, & Economic
Development Department, as well as under Stormwater on the Engineering Division of Public Work’s page.
Owner Name: MJB Properties, Inc.
Site Address: Q Avenue, Anacortes, WA
Prepared By: KPFF Consulting Engineers
The Stormwater checklist or building permit determined that:
€ The 13 elements must be addressed
for construction activity adding under
2,000 sq. ft. of hard surface area.
€ These elements must be addressed
for construction activity adding 2,000
sq. ft. or more of hard surface area.
This means that an attached narrative
and site plan are required with this
document.
Under each element, provide the BMP’s that will be applicable to your project. Use the attached Tables
provided.
ELEMENT 1: Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
€ Before beginning land disturbing activities, including clearing and grading, clearly mark all clearing
limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, and trees that are to be preserved within the construction area.
€ Retain the duff layer, native top soil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed state to the maximum
degree practical.
Suggested BMPs for Element 1:
• BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
• BMP C102: Buffer Zones
• BMP C103: High-Visibility Fence
• BMP C233: Silt Fence
How did you comply with this section?
There is minimal topsoil and natural vegetation to preserve. BMP C103 High Visibility Fence may be
provided to contain the site.
ELEMENT 2: Establish Construction Access
€ Limit construction vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.
€ Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other equivalent BMPs, to minimize
tracking onto roads.
€ Locate wheel wash or tire baths on site, if the stabilized construction entrance is not effective in
preventing tracking sediment onto roads.
€ If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end of each day, or more
frequently as necessary (ex: wet weather). Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or
pick up and transport the sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area.

Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 18
€ Conduct street washing only after sediment is removed in accordance with the above bullet.
€ Control street wash wastewater by pumping back on site or otherwise preventing it from discharging
into systems tributary to waters of the State.
Additional Guidance for Element 2
Minimize construction site access points along linear projects, such as roadways. Street washing may
require local jurisdiction approval.
Suggested BMPs for Element 2:
• BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Access
• BMP C106: Wheel Wash
• BMP C107: Construction Road / Parking Area Stabilization
How did you comply with this section?
BMP C105 Stabilized Construction Access will be installed from 20th Street.
ELEMENT 3: Control Flow Rates
€ Protect properties and waterways downstream of development sites from erosion and the associated
discharge of turbid waters due to increases in the velocity and peak volumetric flow rate of stormwater
runoff from the project site.
€ Where necessary to comply with the bullet above, construct stormwater retention or detention facilities
as one of the first steps in grading. Assure that detention facilities function properly before constructing
site improvement (e.g. impervious surfaces).
€ If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction, protect these facilities from
siltation during the construction phase.

Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 19
BMP C207 Check Dams will be used to slow velocity in interceptor swales. The project is not proposing
permanent detention or infiltration facilities.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 20
ELEMENT 4: Install Sediment Controls
€ Design, install, and maintain effective erosion controls and sediment controls to minimize the discharge
of pollutants.
€ Construct sediment control BMPs (sediment ponds, traps, filters, etc.) as one of the first steps in
grading. These BMPs shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place.
€ Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design, installation and maintenance of erosion and
sediment controls must address factors such as the amount, frequency, intensity and duration of
precipitation, the nature of resulting stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics, including the range of
soil particle sizes expected to be present on the site.
€ Direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas through a sediment pond or other appropriate sediment

Runoff from fully stabilized areas may be discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must meet
the flow control performance standard in Element #3, bullet #1.
€ Locate BMPs intended to trap sediment on-site in a manner to avoid interference with the movement of
juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages.
€ Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas to
increase sediment removal, and maximize stormwater infiltration.
€ Where feasible, design outlet structures that withdraw impounded stormwater from the surface to avoid
discharging sediment that is still suspended lower in the water column.

ELEMENT 5: Stabilize Soils
€ Stabilize exposed and unworked soils by application of effective BMPs that prevent erosion. Applicable
BMPs include, but are not limited to: temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic
covering, erosion control fabrics and matting, soil application of polyacrylamide (PAM), the early
application of gravel base early on areas to be paved, and dust control.
€ Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion.
€ Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize
erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion.
€ Soils must not remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set forth below to prevent
erosion.
o During the dry season (May 1 – Sept 30): 7 days
o During the wet season (Oct 1 – Apr 30): 2 days
€ Stabilize soils at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on the weather
forecast.
€ Stabilize soil stockpiles from erosion, protect with sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be
located away from storm drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels.
€ Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity.
€ Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes.
€ Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil.

ELEMENT 6: Protect Slopes
€ Design and construct cut-and-fill slopes in a manner to minimize erosion. Applicable practices include,
but are not limited to, reducing continuous length of slope with terracing and diversions, reducing slope
steepness, and roughening slope surfaces (Ex: track walking).
€ Divert off-site stormwater (run-on) or ground water away from slopes and disturbed areas with
interceptor dikes, pipes, and/or swales. Off-site stormwater should be managed separately from
stormwater generated on the site.
€ At the top of slopes, collect drainage in pipe slope drains or protected channels to prevent erosion.
Temporary pipe slope drains must be sized to convey the flow rate calculated by the one fo the
following methods:
• Single Event Hydrograph Method: The peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-minute time
step from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm, or;
• Continuous Simulation Method: The 10-year peak flow rate, as determined by an approved
continuous runoff model with a 15-minute time step.
The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition for predicting flow rates from
tributary areas outside the project limits. For tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use
the temporary or permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates.
If using the Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) to predict flows, bare soil areas should be
modeled as "landscaped" area.

€ Place excavated material on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with safety and space
considerations.
€ Place check dams at regular intervals within constructed channels that are cut down a slope.
Site is relatively flat and does not have any steep slopes. BMP C200 Interceptor Dike and Swale
and BMP C207 Check Dams will be used at the low end of the site.
ELEMENT 7: Protect Drain Inlets
€ Protect all storm drain inlets made operable during construction so that stormwater runoff does not
enter the conveyance system without first being filtered or treated to remove sediment.
€ Clean or remove and replace inlet protection devices when sediment has filled one-third of the available
storage (unless a different standard is specified by the product manufacturer).
Additional Guidance for Element 7
• Protect all existing storm drain inlets so that stormwater runoff does not enter the conveyance system
without first being filtered or treated to remove sediment.
• Keep all approach roads clean. Do not allow sediment and street wash water to enter storm drains
without prior and adequate treatment unless treatment is provided before the storm drain discharges to
waters of the State.
• Inlets should be inspected weekly at a minimum and daily during storm events.

BMP C220 Storm Drain Inlet Protection will be installed in all downstream structures.
ELEMENT 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets
€ Design, construct, and stabilize all on-site conveyance channels to prevent erosion from the flow rate
calcultated by one the following methods:
• Single Event Hydrograph Method: The peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-minute time
step from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm, or;
• Continuous Simulation Method: The 10-year peak flow rate, as determined by an approved
continuous runoff model with a 15-minute time step.
The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land cover condition for predicting flow rates from
tributary areas outside the project limits. For tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use
the temporary or permanent project land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates.
If using the Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) to predict flows, bare soil areas should be
modeled as "landscaped" area.
€ Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion of outlets, adjacent
streambanks, slopes, and downstream reaches at the outlets of all conveyance systems.
Additional Guidance for Element 8
The best method for stabilizing channels is to completely line the channel with BMP C122: Nets and
Blankets first, then add BMP C207: Check Dams as necessary to function as an anchor and to slow the
flow of water.
BMP C207 Check Dams will be used to slow runoff within interceptor swales.

ELEMENT 9: Control Pollutants
Design, install, implement, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of
pollutants. The project proponent must:
€ Handle and dispose of all pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris that occur on-site
in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater.
€ Provide cover, containment, and protection from vandalism for all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum
products, and other materials that have the potential to pose a threat to human health or the
environment. On-site fueling tanks must include secondary containment. Secondary containment
means placing tanks or containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of the
volume contained in the largest tank within the containment structure. Double-walled tanks do not
require additional secondary containment.
€ Conduct maintenance, fueling, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles using spill prevention and
control measures. Clean contaminated surfaces immediately following any spill incident.
€ Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site treatment system that prevents
discharge to surface water, or to the sanitary sewer, with local sewer district approval.
€ Apply fertilizers and pesticides in a manner and at application rates that will not result in loss of
chemical to stormwater runoff. Follow manufacturers’ label requirements for application rates and
procedures.
€ Use BMPs to prevent contamination of stormwater runoff by pH-modifying sources. The sources for this
contamination include, but are not limited to: bulk cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete
washing and curing waters, waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing, exposed
aggregate processes, dewatering concrete vaults, concrete pumping, and mixer washout waters.
€ Adjust the pH of stormwater if necessary to prevent violations of the water quality standards.
€ Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in designated concrete washout areas
only. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or
streams. Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated concrete washout areas. Concrete
spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. Do not use upland land
applications for discharging wastewater from concrete washout areas.
€ Obtain written approval from Ecology and provide to the City before using chemical treatment other
than CO2 or dry ice to adjust pH.
€ Uncontaminated water from water-only based shaft drilling for construction of building, road, and bridge
foundations may be infiltrated provided the wastewater is managed in a way that prohibits discharge to
surface waters. Prior to infiltration, water from water-only based shaft drilling that comes into contact
with curing concrete must be neutralized until pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su)
Additional Guidance for Element 9
• Wheel wash and/or tire bath wastewater can be combined with wastewater from concrete washout
• areas if the wastewaters will be properly disposed of at an offsite location or treatment facility.
• Do not use upland land applications for discharging wastewater from concrete washout areas.
• Woody debris may be chopped and spread on site.
• Conduct oil changes, hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel
tank drain down and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or spillage of pollutants
to the ground or into stormwater runoff using spill prevention measures, such as drip pans.
• Clean contaminated surfaces immediately following any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs
may be performed on-site using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the vehicle.

spill prevention kit at all times on-site. BMP C152 Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention to be
used for concrete removal.
ELEMENT 10: Control De-Watering
€ Discharge foundation, vault, and trench dewatering water, which have characteristics similar to
stormwater runoff at the site, into a controlled conveyance system before discharge to BMP C240:
Sediment Trap or BMP C241: Sediment Pond (Temporary).
€ Discharge foundation, vault, and trench dewatering water, which have similar characteristics to
stormwater runoff at the site, into a controlled conveyance system before discharge to Discharge clean,
non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-point ground water, to systems tributary to, or directly into
surface waters of the State, as specified in Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets, provided the
dewatering flow does not cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters. Do not route clean dewatering
water through stormwater sediment BMPs. Note that “surface waters of the State” may exist on a
construction site as well as off site; for example, a creek running through a site.Handle highly turbid or
contaminated dewatering water separately from stormwater.
€ Handle highly turbid or otherwise contaminated dewatering separately from stormwater.
€ Other dewatering treatment or disposal options may include:
1. Infiltration
2. Transport off-site in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a manner that
does not pollute state waters.
3. Ecology-approved on-site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment technologies.
4. Sanitary or combined sewer discharge with local sewer district approval, if there is no other option.
5. Use of a sedimentation bag with outfall to a ditch or swale for small volumes of localized
dewatering.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 27
Groundwater is not aniticpated to be encountered during construction.
ELEMENT 11: Maintain BMPs
€ Maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
€ Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs within 30 days after achieving final site
stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Additional Guidance for Element 11
• Some temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs are bio-degradable and designed to remain in
place following construction such as compost socks.
• Provide protection to all BMPs installed for the permanent control of stormwater from sediment and
compaction. All BMPs that are to remain in place following completion of construction shall be
examined and placed in full operating conditions. If sediment enters the BMPs during construction, it
shall be removed and the facility shall be returned to the conditions specified in the construction
documents.
• Remove or stabilize trapped sediment on site. Permanently stabilize disturbed soil resulting from
removal of BMPs or vegetation.
Contractor to maintain a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead and will be responsible for
maintaining and removing all BMPs. BMPs will be inspected daily, as necessary per the 2019
DOE SWMMWW Appendix II-A. Weekly erosion and sedimentation reports are to be sent to the
City.
ELEMENT 12: Manage the Project
€ Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work
limits to prevent soil erosion and prevent transporting sediment from the site during construction.
€ Inspect, maintain and repair all BMPs as needed to assure continued performance of their intended
function. Projects regulated under the Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSWGP) must
conduct site inspections and monitoring in accordance with Special Condition S4 of the CSWGP.
€ Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP.
Projects that disturb one or more acres must have site inspections conducted by a Certified Erosion
and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL). Project sites disturbing less than one acre may have a CESCL or
a person without CESCL certification conduct inspections. By the initiation of construction, the
Construction SWPPP must identify the CESCL or inspector, who must be present on site or on-call at
all times.

Additional Guidance for Element 12
The project manager must ensure that the project is built in such a way to comply with all Construction
SWPPP Elements, as detailed in this section. Considerations for the project manager include, but are
not limited to:
• construction phasing
• seasonal work limitations
• coordination with utilities and other contractors
• inspection
• monitoring
• maintaining an updated construction SWPPP
Phasing of Construction
Phase development projects where feasible in order to prevent soil erosion and transporting of
sediment from the site during construction. Revegetate exposed areas and maintain that vegetation as
an integral part of the clearing activities for any phase.
Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted using an approved
site development plan (e.g., subdivision approval) that establishes permitted areas of clearing, grading,
cutting, and filling. Minimize removing trees and disturbing or compacting native soils when establishing
permitted clearing and grading areas. Show on the site plans and the development site permitted
clearing and grading areas and any other areas required to preserve critical or sensitive areas, buffers,
native growth protection easements, or tree retention areas as may be required by local jurisdictions.
Inspection
All BMPs must be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of
their intended function. Site inspections must be conducted by a person knowledgeable in the principles
and practices of erosion and sediment control. The person must have the skills to 1) assess the site
conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of stormwater, and 2) assess the
effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the quality of stormwater
discharges.
For construction sites one acre or larger that discharge stormwater to surface waters of the state, a
CESCL must be identified in the construction SWPPP; this person must be on-site or on-call at all
times. Certification must be obtained through an approved training program that meets the erosion and
sediment control training standards established by Ecology. See BMP C160: Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead.
Appropriate BMPs or design changes shall be implemented as soon as possible whenever inspection
and/or monitoring reveals that the BMPs identified in the Construction SWPPP are inadequate, due to
the actual discharge of /or potential to discharge a significant amount of any pollutant.
The CESCL or inspector must examine stormwater visually for the presence of suspended sediment,
turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen. They must evaluate the effectiveness of BMPs and determine if it
is necessary to install, maintain, or repair BMPs to improve the quality of stormwater discharges.
Based on the results of the inspection, construction site operators must correct the problems identified
by:
• Reviewing the Construction SWPPP for compliance with the 13 elements and making
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 29
• Immediately beginning the process of fully implementing and maintaining appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the problems no later than
within 10 days of the inspection. If installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible
within 10 days, the construction site operator may request an extension within the initial 10-day
response period.
• Documenting BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book (applies only to sites
that have coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit).
The CESCL or inspector must inspect all areas disturbed by construction activities, all BMPs, and all
stormwater discharge points at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours of any discharge from the
site. (For purposes of this condition, individual discharge events that last more than one day do not require
daily inspections. For example, if a stormwater pond discharges continuously over the course of a week, only
one inspection is required that week.) The CESCL or inspector may reduce the inspection frequency for
temporary stabilized, inactive sites to once every calendar month
Maintaining an Updated Construction SWPPP
Retain the Construction SWPPP on-site or within reasonable access to the site.
Modify the Construction SWPPP whenever there is a change in the design, construction, operation, or
maintenance at the construction site that has, or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants
to waters of the state.
The Construction SWPPP must be modified if, during inspections or investigations conducted by the
owner/operator, or the applicable local or state regulatory authority, it is determined that the Construction
SWPPP is ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharges from the
site. Modify the Construction SWPPP as necessary to include additional or modified BMPs designed to correct
problems identified. Complete revisions to the Construction SWPPP within seven (7) days following the
inspection.
Suggested BMPs for Element 12
• BMP C150: Materials on Hand
• BMP C160: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
• BMP C162: Scheduling
How did you comply with this section?
Contractor will manage the site with a CESCL and phasing as appropriate.
ELEMENT 13: Protect Low Impact Development BMPS
The primary purpose of On-Site Stormwater Management is to reduce the disruption of the natural site
hydrology through infiltration. BMPs used to meet I-3.4.5 MR5: On-Site Stormwater Management (often called
LID BMPs) are permanent facilities.
€ Protect all LID BMPs (including, but not limited to BMP T7.30: Bioretention, BMP T5.14: Rain Gardens,
and BMP T5.15: Permeable Pavements) from sedimentation through installation and maintenance of
erosion and sediment control BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the LID BMPs. Restore the
BMPs to their fully functioning condition if they accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring the
BMP must include removal of sediment and any sediment-laden Bioretention/Rain Garden soils, and
replacing the removed soils with soils meeting the design specification.
€ Maintain the infiltration capabilities of LID BMPs by protecting against compaction by construction
equipment and foot traffic. Protect completed lawn and landscaped areas from compaction due to
construction equipment.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 30
€ Control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from surrounding land uses onto BMP T5.15:
Permeable Pavements. Do not allow muddy construction equipment on the base material or pavement.
€ Permeable pavement fouled with sediments or no longer passing an initial infiltration test must be
cleaned using procedures in accordance with this manual or the manufacturer’s procedures.
€ Keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under LID BMPs that have been excavated to final grade to
retain the infiltration rate of the soils.

TAB 3 (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #3)
• 1-3.4.3 Minimum Requirement #3 – Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMP’s must be applied to all projects. Source
control BMP’s must be selected, designed, maintained according to the reference Ecology Manual.
The intent of source control BMP’s is to prevent stormwater from coming in contact with pollutants.
They are a cost-effective means of reducing pollutants in stormwater, and, therefore, should be
considered in all projects.
Supplemental Guidelines
Source Control BMPs include Operational BMPs and Structural Source Control BMPs. See
Volume IV for design details of these BMPs. For construction sites, see II-3.2 Construction
Source Control BMPs.
Structural Source Control BMPs should be identified in the stormwater site plan and should be
shown on all applicable plans submitted for local government review and approval.
An adopted and implemented Basin Plan (see Appendix I-B: Basin Plans) or Total Maximum
Daily Load (see I-2.13 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)) may be used to develop more
stringent source control requirements that are tailored to a specific basin.
Identifying Source Control Strategies in a Basin Plan
Basin Plans can identify potential sources of pollution within the basin and develop strategies to
eliminate or control these sources to protect beneficial uses.
A Basin Plan can include the following Source Control strategies:
1. Detection and correction of illicit discharges to storm sewer systems, including the
use of dry weather sampling and dye-tracing techniques;
2. Identification of existing businesses, industries, utilities, and other activities that may
store materials susceptible to spillage or leakage of pollutants into the storm sewer
system or to the ground via wells, drains, or sumps;
3. Elimination or control of pollutant sources identified in (2);
4. Identification and control of future businesses, industries, utilities, and other activities
which may store materials susceptible to spillage or leakage of pollutants into the
storm sewer system; and
5. Training and public education
A Basin Plan that incorporates the standard requirements from this section as well as more
stringent requirements does not require Ecology approval.
What Source Control BMP’s are applicable to your project?
There are no applicable source control BMPs for the site at this stage of development. The
project proposes only rough grading for unknown future development.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 32
TAB 4 (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #4)
• Minimum Requirement #4 – Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained and discharges from the project shall occur at the natural
location, to maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the project site
must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down gradient
properties. All outfalls require energy dissipation.
The objective is to preserve and utilize drainage systems to the fullest extent because of the multiple
stormwater benefits these systems provide; and to prevent erosion at the downstream of the discharge
location.
Refer to the reference manual for supplemental guidelines and additional information under this
section.
Will this project disturb the Natural Drainage System or Outfall of the project Site? Yes\No. If
yes, refer to section I.2.5.4 for Supplemental Guidelines for additional information.
Stormwater currently discharges to Fidalgo Bay through piped outfalls. This project will maintain
discharge to Fidalgo Bay.
Version Date: 07/26/24 Page 33
TAB 5 (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #5)
• 1-3.4.5 Minimum Requirement #5 – On-site Stormwater Management
Projects shall employ Stormwater Management BMPs in accordance with the following thresholds,
standards, and lists to infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on site to the extent feasible
without causing flooding or erosion impacts.
Project thresholds that trigger Minimum Requirements #1 through #5, shall utilize the On-site
Stormwater Management BMP’s from List #1 for all surfaces within each type of surface in List #1; or,
Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard. Projects selecting this option cannot use
Rain Gardens. They may choose to use Bioretention BMP’s as described in Chapter V-7 – Infiltration
and Bioretention Treatment Facilities to achieve the LID Performance Standard.
Refer to this section of the reference Manual for all Feasibility or Infeasibility Criteria for List #1
and List #2.
Is this project Flow Control Exempt? Yes (See Appendix I-E: Flow Control-Exempt Surface Water). If
yes, provide reasoning from the applicability section of 1-2.5.7 Minimum Requirement #7: Flow
Control). If No, then the project triggers Minimum Requirement #7 (1-2.5.7) and possibly Minimum
Requirement #8 (1-2.5.8).
The project is subject to only Minimum Requirements #1-#5.
If the project is Flow Control Exempt, select from the list below (Skip List 1 and List 2).
o BMP T5.13 Post Construction Soils Quality and Depth
o BMP T5.10A: Downspout Full Infiltration, or;
o BMP T5.10B Downspout Dispersion Systems, or;

Subject: Geotechnical Report
Site Grading and Earthwork
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
Dear Mr. Blais,
This report outlined the results and recommendations of our geotechnical study to support the
design and construction of the proposed roadways and general earthwork for the site. The findings
outlined in the current report is based on the results of our cone penetration tests (CPTs) completed
at the site. We will update our report after completion of supplemental test borings and laboratory
testing. The test borings and laboratory test results will be used to refine our settlement estimate
but other findings are anticipated to remain as discussed in this report.
Based on the results of our CPTs, the site is underlain by a sequence of existing granular fill, soft
to medium stiff silt/clay with sand mixtures to 15 to 40 feet deep, in turn underlain by medium
dense to dense sand and silty sand. The proposed roadway embankments as currently designed are
appropriate. The underlying soils are also subject to liquefaction induced settlements during a
strong seismic event consistent with the 2018 IBC.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project. We are available to meet to discuss
our findings at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Siew L. Tan, P.E.
Principal Geotechnical Engineer

GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
SITE GRADING AND EARTHWORK
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, WASHINGTON
1.0 GENERAL
This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering study to support the proposed
grading activities at the MJB North Shoreline property in Anacortes, Washington. Our service
scope to date included conducting a site reconnaissance, reviewing readily available geologic data,
advancing ten cone penetration tests at the site, and developing the conclusions and
recommendations presented in this report.
2.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is in Anacortes, Washington. It borders Q Avenue to the west, Fidalgo Bay to the
east, 17th Avenue to the north, and 22nd Avenue to the South. The approximate location of the
site is shown in the attached Figure 1. The site has an upland area of about 28 acres. The ground
surface descends gently from Q Avenue to the shore of Fidalgo Bay. The topographic relief is
about 10 feet between Q Avenue and the shoreline. The site is mostly vacant, with a few storage
buildings located along the west side of the site.
We understand that the property will be developed in phases and the final development plan is
currently being developed. When completed, as currently envisaged, the development may include
residential units, hotels, retail, restaurants, an event center, and parking lots. A new north-south
trending roadway (T Avenue) will be constructed in the middle of the site, connecting 17th Avenue
on the south and 22nd Avenue on the north. The proposed T Avenue will be about 1,600 feet long.
The existing 17th Avenue, between Q Avenue and T Avenue, will also be regraded. A preliminary
conceptual site layout is shown in Plate 1 on the following page.
We understand that fill will be placed to raise the site grade for the proposed development. Along
the proposed T Avenue, as much as about 10 feet of fill will be placed above the existing grade.
Along 17th Avenue, the new fill will generally be less than about 4 feet above the existing grade.

3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
PanGEO completed ten Cone Penetration Tests (CPT-1 to CPT-10) on February 1 and 8, 2021.
The CPTs were performed by ConeTec Inc. at the approximate locations indicated on the attached
Figure 2. The CPT probes were advanced to depths of about 56 to 97 feet below the existing
ground surface when refusal was met. ConeTec used an instrumented cone approximately 1½
inches in diameter, which is pushed into the soil at a steady rate to measure tip resistance (Qt), side
friction (Fs), pore water pressure (u), soil behavior type, and correlated SPT blow counts. The
readings on the soil are taken at about 2-inch vertical intervals, and provide a nearly continuous
readout of soil stratigraphy, strength, and other parameters.
Summary CPT logs are included in Appendix A of this report.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 GEOLOGY
Our interpretation of the geologic conditions at the site vicinity is based on a review of the
Geologic Map of the Anacortes South and La Conner 7.5-minute Quadrangles (Dragovich, at al,
2000), and the Geologic map of the Bellingham 1:100,000 Quadrangle (Lapen, 2000).
In summary, a portion of downtown Anacortes east of Commercial Avenue, including the project
site, was raised to current elevations by placing fill over Nearshore Deposits (Qn). Nearshore
deposits are described as interbedded fine sand, silt, and clay with some peat and organic deposits.
The composition of fill can be highly variable and are generally relatively loose in nature.
West of the areas that were previously filled, the surficial geology is mapped as Glaciomarine Drift
(Qgdm) from the Everson interstade of the Fraser glaciation. The Glaciomarine Drift is
characterized as soft silt and clay with sand lenses. South of the project site near the shoreline is
mapped as Glaciomarine Outwash (Qgom) from the Everson interstade of the Fraser Glaciation.
The Glaciomarine Outwash is characterized as sand and sandy gravel with some silt and clay
interbeds.
The Glaciomarine Drift and Outwash Deposits are likely underlain by older till, which has been
overridden by glacial ice and is consequently very dense/hard.

4.2 SOIL
The results from our CPTs indicate that the subsurface conditions at the site are relatively
consistent. The following summarizes the subsurface conditions encountered in our CPTs:
Unit 1: Fill – At each CPT location, we encountered existing surficial fill that ranged from 3
to 8 feet thick. The composition of the fill material varied across the project area, generally
consisting of gravel, sand, and silty mixtures. The relative density of the fill varied from loose
to very dense.
Unit 2: Glaciomarine Drift – Below the surficial fill, we encountered a layer of soft to
medium stiff, silt and clay mixtures with sand lenses. Based on the variable and mixed soil
behavior type and the relatively soft consistency, we interpret this soil unit as Glaciomarine
Drift mapped near the site. The thickness of this soil unit varies across the site, and its bottom
ranges from 17 to 40 feet below the existing ground surface. This soil unit is moderately
compressible and could experience long term settlement when loads are applied.
Unit 3: Glaciomarine Outwash (Qgom) – Below the Glaciomarine Drift we encountered a
layer of medium dense to very dense sand and sand mixtures with silt and clay. This soil unit
appeared to have occasional thick layers of uniform consistency. Based on the dense and sandy
consistency, we interpret this soil unit as the nearby mapped Glaciomarine Outwash Deposits.
This soil unit extended to the bottom of each CPT before reaching practical refusal between
56 and 97 feet deep.
We also generated two subsurface profiles to depict the subsurface conditions encountered in our
CPTs. The subsurface profiles are included in Figures 3A and 3B.
4.3 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater table was generally estimated around 5 to 6 feet below the existing grade using
dissipation tests and interpolation from the dynamic pore pressure. Plots of the recorded dissipation
tests can be seen in Appendix A. It should be noted that groundwater elevations may vary
depending on the season, local subsurface conditions, tide elevations, and other factors.
Groundwater levels are normally highest during the winter and early spring.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SEISMIC SITE CLASS
We anticipate the seismic design of the buildings will be based on the 2018 International Building
Code (IBC). The IBC seismic design parameters are in part based on the site soil conditions and
site classifications defined in Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16. According to Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16,
the site soil should be classified as Site Class F because of its liquefaction potential during a strong
seismic event (see discussions regarding liquefaction in Section 5.2 of this report). Review of
Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7-16 indicates that for Site Class F a site-specific ground response analysis
shall be performed unless the exception to Section 20.3.1 is applicable.
Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7 states that “For structures having fundamental periods of vibration
equal to or less than 0.5s, site response analysis is not required to determine spectral accelerations
for liquefiable soils. Rather, a site class is permitted to be determined in accordance with Section
20.3 and the corresponding values of Fa and Fv determined from Tables 11.4-1 and 11.4-2.” In
other words, for structures with a period of vibration equal to or less than 0.5 second and situated
on liquefiable soils, the ASCE 7-16 exception allows the values of Fa and Fv for liquefiable soils
be taken equal to the values of site class determined without regard to soil liquefaction. Generally,
buildings that are less than 5 stories in height typically meet this exception but should be verified
by the structural engineer.
Based on the results of our subsurface explorations, the average correlated N60 value was greater
than 15 in all 10 CPTs. As, such, if the vibration period for a proposed building is less than 0.5
second, Site Class D may be assumed for determining site coefficients without the needs for a site-
specific ground response analysis.
However, if the fundamental period of vibration for the proposed buildings exceeds 0.5 seconds,
Site Class F should be used. PanGEO can perform the site-specific ground response analysis when
requested.
5.2 SOIL LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction occurs when saturated predominately sand and silt soils are subjected to cyclic
loading. This causes the porewater pressure to increase in the soil, thereby reducing the inter-
granular stresses. As the inter-granular stresses are reduced, the shearing resistance of the soil
decreases. If pore pressures develop to the point where the effective stresses acting between the
grains become zero, the soil particles will be in suspension and behave like a viscous fluid.
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 6
Typically, loose, saturated granular soils have the greatest potential for liquefaction, while more
dense soil deposits with higher silt or clay contents have a lesser potential. Soil liquefaction may
cause the temporary loss/reduction of foundation capacity, lateral movement of sloping ground,
and ground settlement.
We evaluate the potential for soil liquefaction and calculated the magnitude of liquefaction-induced
settlement based on the results of our CPTs. Our analysis uses the methods proposed by Idriss and
Boulanger (2014) and Cetin et al. (2009) and was performed based on an earthquake magnitude of
7.5 and a PGA of 0.48g, which are consistent with the 2018 IBC.
In summary, our results indicate that liquefaction could extend to depths greater than 70-plus feet.
However, liquefaction-induced settlement deeper than 60 feet should not manifest itself to the surface
(Cetin et al., 2009). We estimate that surficial settlement due to soil liquefaction should be no more
than 4 to 6 inches. This magnitude of settlement would not impact the grading as currently designed.
A more detailed analysis will be performed during the final design of the proposed buildings.
Based on the relatively level site grade and the 100-foot setback for building development along the
shoreline, it is our opinion that the overall risk for lateral spreading is low and should not impact the
proposed development.
5.3 CONCEPTUAL BUILDING FOUNDATION APPROACH
Selection of building foundation types depend on several factors, including the site soil conditions,
building types, design columns loads, and desired level of performance. PanGEO will provide design-
level recommendations during the final design phase of the proposed buildings.
For general planning purposes, for wood-framed structures less than three floors in height, we
anticipate that the use of conventional footings, a mat foundation, or a structural slab with thickened
edges are likely adequate. For taller buildings, the use of ground improvement methods maybe
necessary to support these taller buildings on shallow foundations. Alternatively, the use of piles may
also be considered.
5.4 SITE STRIPPING AND CLEARING
Prior to placement of new fill to raise the site grade, general site clearing should include removal
of existing structures, debris, refuse, and other deleterious material. Existing topsoil, where not
combined with refuse or other deleterious material, may be stripped and stockpiled for use in
landscape areas following final grading of site improvements. In no case should the stripped or
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 7
grubbed materials be used as structural fill or mixed with material to be used as structural fill. The
stripped materials may be “wasted” on site in non-structural landscaping areas or they should be
exported from the site. Existing utility pipes to be abandoned should be filled or removed so they
do not provide a conduit for water flow and potential loss of soils adjacent to the pipes.
5.5 SELECTION OF FILL MATERIALS
Import materials to raise the site grade and to construct the roadway should generally consist of
Gravel Borrow (Section 9-03.14(1), WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2020), or Select Borrow
(Section 9-03.14(2), WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2020). The gradational requirements for
Gravel Borrow and Select Borrow are summarized in Table 1, below:

2. Select Borrow gradation requirements per Section 9-03.14(1) of WSDOT Standard Specification, 2020.
The fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of its maximum dry density, determined in
accordance with Modified Proctor Tests (ASTM D1557).
The use of recycled materials such as recycled crushed concrete and recycled asphalt may also be
considered, provided that these materials will be allowed by the permitting agencies.
Recycled crushed asphalt, if used, it should be blended with soil aggregate and the blended
products should contain no more than 20% of recycled asphalt.

5.6 ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION AND FILL SLOPE STABILITY
Based on our review of the grading plans prepared by KPFF, dated 8/8/2020, as much as 10 feet
of fill will be placed to raise the grade along the centerline of the proposed T Avenue (A-Line),
and the embankment slopes will be graded to 4H:1V (horizontal:vertical). The weight of the new
fill is expected to result in settlement of the soft to medium stiff silt and clay underlying the site
(see additional discussions in Section 5.7, blow).
The settlement is time-dependent and is expected to occur over a period of time. Utilities located
within the footprint of the roadway embankment should be installed after the consolidation
settlement is complete.
We performed a quantitative slope stability analysis of the proposed roadway embankment in the
static, seismic (pseudo-static), and post-liquefaction conditions. We performed our slope stability
analysis using the program SLIDE2 (Slide) by Rocscience Inc. Slide is a two-dimensional limit
equilibrium slope stability analysis program. Our analysis used the Janbu Corrected Method to
determine potential failure. The following discusses our model and analysis:
Soil Parameters: A summary of the input soil parameters is provided in Table 2 below. Input
parameters were selected based on general estimates provided in the WSDOT Geotechnical Design
Manual, CPT data, and our judgement and experience with similar soils. The undrained residual
strength (post-liquefaction) of the Glaciomarine Drift deposit was determined using the
methodology described in Section 6-2.2 in the WSDOT Geotechnical Design Manual (2019). The
Glaciomarine Drift was divided into three 10-foot-thick layers to more accurately reflect the
increased residual strength with depth.

Groundwater: The groundwater table was modeled at the contact between the existing fill and
Glaciomarine Drift.
Seismic Parameters: Seismic design parameters for the site were developed in conformance with
the 2018 IBC, which specifies a design earthquake having a 2 percent probability of occurrence in
50 years (return interval of 2,475 years). A spectral response acceleration was obtained from the
USGS Earthquake Hazards Program Interpolated Probabilistic Ground Motion website (2008 data)
for the project latitude and longitude, based on Site Class D for stiff soil. We obtained a peak
ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.48g. One-half of the PGA, or 0.24g, as used in our slope stability
analysis, consistent with the local practice.
Results: the results of our slope stability analysis are summarized in the attached Figures 4, 5, and
6, for the static, pseudo-static (seismic), and post-liquefaction. In summary, the calculated
minimum global factors of safety for the static, seismic, and post-liquefaction conditions were
about 2.78, 1.34, and 1.37, respectively. Based on the results from our analysis, the global stability
of the proposed roadway embankment meets the minimum factor of safety requirement of 1.5 for
the static condition, 1.1 for the seismic condition, and 1.0 for the post-liquefaction condition.
5.7 SETTLEMENT ESTIMATE AND MONITORING
Under the proposed new fill, the soft to medium stiff silt and clay (Soil unit 2) is expected to settle.
Based on the general consistency of the soils from the CPTs, we estimate that the settlement from
the proposed fill placement should be no more than about 3 to 4 inches. The estimated settlement
should occur within about 3 months after placement of the fill. However, we will refine our
estimate of the settlement in our upcoming report once our test borings and laboratory test program
and engineering analysis are completed.
Construction of the proposed improvements such as underground utilities, buildings, pavements
should be commenced only after the consolidation settlement of the soft to medium stiff silt and
clay has stabilized. A settlement monitoring program should be implemented to confirm that
settlement is occurring as expected during preload period and to verify the end of consolidation
settlement such that the site can be released for construction.
Monitoring of settlements should be performed using settlement plates, placed at a grid spacing of
generally no greater than about 100 feet apart, in areas where the site grade will be raised by more
than 4 feet. A schematic detail of settlement plate is shown in the attached Figure 7. Other
considerations for settlement monitoring are outlined below:

• The settlement plates should be installed on firm ground prior to placing any fill. Locations
of settlement plates should be clearly marked and readily visible (red flagged) to equipment
operators.
• The contractor should maintain at least a 5-foot horizontal clearance with heavy equipment.
Fill within 5 feet of the settlement plates should be compacted with small equipment to
project specifications. In the event of damage to a settlement plate or measurement rod,
the contractor should immediately notify the geotechnical engineer and should restore the
settlement plate to working order.
• A licensed land surveyor should be retained to monitor the settlement plates. Initial
readings should be taken on top of the measurement rod and at the adjacent ground level
prior to fill placement. For ease in handling, the measurement rod and casing can be
installed in 5-foot sections. As fill progresses, couplings should be used to install
additional lengths. Continuity should be maintained when adding extensions, by reading
the top of the measurement rod, then immediately adding the new section and reading the
top of the added rod. Both readings should be recorded.
• After initial placement, readings should be taken twice weekly during fill placement, once
weekly after completion of fill placement for at least 4 weeks. Depending on the project
schedule and results of the monitoring, the monitoring frequency may be adjusted by the
geotechnical engineer accordingly.
• The measurement rod readings should be to the nearest 0.01 foot (or the nearest 0.005 foot
if possible); fill elevations should be measured to the nearest 0.1 foot. All elevations should
be referenced to a benchmark located on stable ground at least 100 feet from the preload
areas.
Readings should be submitted in a timely fashion to the geotechnical engineer, who should
analyze the settlement data, to provide a basis for determining when the desired effect of
preloading has been achieved, and the consolidation settlement has been completed.

5.8 UTILITIES
Utilities should be installed after completion of the pre-load, to mitigate the risk of post-
construction settlement.
5.8.1 Trench Excavations
We anticipate that utilities will be installed after placement of the new fill. As such, utility trench
excavations are anticipated to extend through a sequence proposed fill, the existing fill, and soft to
medium stiff silt and clay.
Temporary excavations greater than 4 feet deep should be properly sloped or shored. All
temporary excavations should be performed in accordance with Part N of WAC (Washington
Administrative Code) 296-155. The contractor is responsible for maintaining safe excavation
slopes and/or shoring. For planning purposes, the temporary excavations may be sloped as steep
as 1H:1V for excavations located above the groundwater table but should be re-evaluated in the
field during construction based on actual observed soil conditions. Temporary excavation located
below the groundwater table may be sloped as steep as 1.5H:1V, provided the excavation is
adequately dewatered. During wet weather, the cut slopes may need to be flattened to reduce
potential erosion.
Conventional trench shoring systems such as trench boxes or steel sheets with hydraulic bracing
may be used to limit the excavation. For design purposes, the contractor may utilize an equivalent
fluid weight of 35 pcf to represent the lateral earth pressures on the shoring. This pressure should
be increased to 45 pcf for shoring with a maximum 1H:1V backslopes above the shoring.
Surcharges from soil stockpiles and/or equipment traffic located within a horizontal distance equal
to the depth of the excavation should also be applied to the shoring design.
5.8.2 Dewatering
Groundwater is estimated between 6 to 10 feet below the existing grade at the time of our
exploration. If excavation extends below the water table, control of groundwater may be necessary.
The rate of groundwater discharge will largely depend on the groundwater level at the time of
excavation, the depth of excavation, the actual soil conditions (sand vs. silt/clay), and the
sequencing of the excavation. However, it is our opinion that the dewatering can likely be
accomplished with sumps and pumps.
If groundwater is encountered during excavation, the bottom of the excavation should be sloped
to one or more shallow sump pits. The collected water can then be pumped from these pits to a
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 12
positive and permanent discharge. Depending on the magnitude of such seepage, it may also be
necessary to interconnect the sump pits by a system of connector trenches.
5.8.3 Pipe Bedding
Pipe bedding material, placement, compaction, and shaping should be in accordance with the
project specifications and the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations. As a minimum, the pipe
bedding material should meet the requirements for Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding in
Section 9-03.12(3) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (2020). Bedding material should be
placed in accordance with the recommendations provided in section 7-08.3(1)C for Pipe Zone
Bedding in the WSDOT’s Standard Specifications (2020) to ensure proper pipe support and
protection. The excavated trench bottom should be firm and unyielding or be compacted to such
a condition prior to placement of bedding material.
5.8.4 Trench Backfill
In general, the trench backfill may consist of the existing granular fill that is present at the site, or
the import soils that will be used to raise the site grade. The native soils (Soil Unit 2) below the
existing fill contain significant amounts of fines and in our opinion not appropriate for use as trench
backfill.
The placement of trench backfill should be in accordance with Section 7-08.3(3) of WSDOT
Standard Specifications (2020). The first zone of backfill extending from the bedding material to
at least 6 inches above the crown of the pipe should consist of select free-draining granular material
to reduce the compaction effort required and resulting stresses on the pipe. The granular material
should be well-graded, less than 1½ inch in maximum size, and less than 10 percent passing the
No. 200 sieve, such as Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding in section 9-03.12(3) of WSDOT’s
Standard Specifications (2020) or CSBC.
During placement of the initial lifts, the trench backfill should not be bulldozed into the trench or
dropped directly on the pipe. Furthermore, heavy vibratory equipment should not be permitted to
operate directly over the pipe until a minimum of 2 feet of backfill has been placed above the
crown. The trench backfill material should be placed in 8- to 12-inch, loose lifts and compacted to
at least 95% of the Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557).

5.9 GENERAL EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
5.9.1 Fill Compaction
In general, except in landscaping areas, all fills should be compacted to 95 percent of its maximum
dry density, as determined using ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor). The procedure to achieve
proper density of a compacted fill depends on the size and type of compacting equipment, soil
moisture content, the number of passes, thickness of the layer being compacted, and certain soil
properties. In areas where the use of heavy equipment may be restricted, smaller equipment can
be used, but the soil must be placed in thin enough layers to achieve the required relative
compaction.
5.9.2 Wet Weather Earthwork
In our opinion, because the site soils generally contain a considerable amount of fines and are
considered moisture sensitive, earthwork construction performed during the drier summer months
likely will be more economical. If the earthwork will be performed during wet weather, the on-
site soils could become saturated and lead to difficult working conditions. In addition, saturated
soils could become difficult or impossible to adequately compact. Soft and unstable soil conditions
due to inclement weather, disturbance, and poor drainage will require removal and replacement
with granular structural fill. To reduce the risks of soil disturbance due to inclement weather
conditions, we recommended that, as a minimum, the following recommendations be incorporated
into the contract specifications.
• Earthwork should be performed in small areas to minimize exposure to wet weather.
Excavation or the removal of unsuitable soil should be followed promptly by the
placement and compaction of clean structural fill.
• The size and type of construction equipment used may have to be limited to prevent soil
disturbance.
• During wet weather conditions, the allowable fines content of Gravel Borrow should be
reduced to no more than 5 percent by weight based on the portion passing ¾-inch sieve.
The fines should be non-plastic.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be graded to promote run-off of
surface water and to prevent the ponding of water.
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 14
• The ground surface within the construction area should be sealed by a smooth drum
vibratory roller, or equivalent, and under no circumstances should soil be left
uncompacted and exposed to moisture.
• Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences should be strategically located to control
surface water and erosion.

NOTES:
1.Locations of settlement plates shall be clearly marked and readily visible
to equipment operators.
2.Contractor shall maintain at least 5 feet of horizontal clearance for heavy
equipment from the base of settlement plates. Fill within 5 feet of
settlement plates shall be compacted using hand operated equipment.
3.In the event of damage to settlement plates, contractor shall immediately
notify Engineer and shall be responsible for restoring the settlement
plates to working order.
4.Install plates on firm ground or on sand pads if needed for stability. Take
initial readings on top of the rod and at adjacent ground level prior to
placement of fill.
5.For ease in handling, rod and casing are usually installed in short
sections. As fill progresses, couplings are used to installed additional
lengths. Continuity is maintained by reading the top of the measurement
rod, then immediately adding the new section and reading the top of the
added rod. Both readings should be recorded.
6.Record the elevations of the top of the measurement rod at pre-
determined time intervals, but no less than once a week. Each time, note
the elevation of the adjacent ground surface.
7.Read the measurement rods to the nearest 0.01 ft, or 0.005 ft if possible.
Note the fill elevation to the nearest 0.1 ft.
8.The elevations should be referenced to a temporary benchmark located
on stable ground at least 100 feet from the zone of influence of the
embankment and surcharge (preload fill).

Introduction and Existing Conditions
This report presents the results of our Preliminary Infiltration Investigation for the MJB Properties
Anacortes Development. The purpose of our investigation was to characterize subsurface conditions and
provide preliminary design infiltration rates for the proposed development. The project site is composed
of numerous parcels east of Q Avenue roughly between 17th Street and 22nd Street in Anacortes,
Washington (See Figure 1, Site Map) totaling approximately 29 acres and including:
Parcel B: P32963
Parcel C: P32965
Parcel D: P32966
Parcel E: P32967
Parcel F: P32968
Parcel G: P32969
Parcel H: P32970
Parcel I: P32971
P32913
P32915
P32916
P32929
P32941
P32943
P78000
The site is bordered on the south by the Anacortes Marina and 22nd Street, on the north by Seafarers
Memorial Park and various commercial buildings and paved parking, and on the east by Fidalgo Bay.
Most of the subject properties are minimally developed, although extensive shoreline backfilling and
dredging has been conducted over a majority of the area. The Northern Marine boat building company
operates out of an industrial building in the southwestern portion of the site, close to several other
storage and industrial buildings located along a spur of R Avenue. The northeastern portion of the site
was previously occupied by Scott Paper Mill, which has since been demolished. We understand that
former paper mill operations resulted in soil contamination, and that multiple soil remediation projects
have been conducted in the area. Assessment of soil contaminants and associated mitigations are
outside the scope of this infiltration investigation.
Proposed Construction
Based on a conceptual site plan provided by KPFF Consulting Engineers, the proposed construction
consists of various multi‐family residences, retail buildings, a hotel and event center, and restaurants
with associated paved access drives and parking areas. Potential stormwater management facilities may
include raingardens and detention ponds. Based on conversations with project civil engineer Kyle Carrick
of KPFF, we understand that captured runoff that cannot be infiltrated will ultimately be discharged to
Fidalgo Bay following appropriate water quality control.

Subsurface Exploration and Soil Testing
Subsurface conditions were investigated by excavating eight exploratory test pits on November 8, 2019
with a mini‐excavator and operator provided by the client. Test pits were advanced to depths of 7 to 8
FT below ground surface (BGS). Soils generally consisted of 2 to 6.5 FT of fill material overlying very stiff
to hard clay and clayey sand interpreted as native glaciomarine drift. The overlying fill material was
variously composed of crushed rock top course, construction rubble and debris, and a moderately
organic silt/clay that was presumed to be dredged material from historic backfilling at the shoreline.
More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered in our test pits are provided on
our Exploration Logs, Figures A‐1 and A‐2.
Geologic Conditions
Geologic mapping of the project area was obtained from the Geologic Map of the Bellingham 1:100,000
Quadrangle (Lapen, 2000). The surficial geology of the site is mapped as artificial fill (Qf), concurrent
with the surface layer of fill material identified in our test pit explorations. The upland area west of Q
Avenue is mapped as glaciomarine drift (Qgdme), described as moderately to unsorted diamicton
containing lenses and discontinuous beds of moderately to well‐sorted gravel, sand, silt and clay with
variable dropstone content. These soils were deposited 11,300 to 13,500 years ago from melting glacial
ice floating in seawater. The low‐energy depositional environment permitted fine particles to settle out
of suspension, contributing to clay and silt beds such as those observed during our test pit explorations.
Thus, the native soils encountered below the fill in our explorations closely concur with the unit of
glaciomarine drift that is mapped adjacent to the site.
Groundwater
Slight to moderate groundwater seeps were observed in five of the eight test pit explorations at depths
of approximately 2.75 to 3.25 FT BGS. The observed seepage was identified as lateral movement of
water atop stratigraphic contacts with finer‐grained, denser, lower‐permeability soil, and thus reflects a
“perched” water condition rather than a true regional groundwater aquifer at this depth. Nonetheless,
seasonal perched groundwater may affect infiltration facilities and will likely be encountered during
excavations at this site.
Groundwater levels are influenced by seasonal variations in precipitation, changes in runoff patterns
due to development and other factors. The groundwater levels recorded on our exploration logs are
representative of the time and location of each exploration, and may not be representative of
conditions at other times and locations.
Results and Discussion
Infiltration
The 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) provides Site
Suitability Criteria (SSC) for siting infiltration facilities. SSC‐6 indicates that uncontrolled fill materials are
unsuitable as infiltration media. Thus, infiltration facilities at this site will be required to bottom into
native soils.
The SWMMWW provides a methodology for estimating infiltration rates based on the grain‐size
distribution of the infiltration soils. This methodology assumes a relatively loose soil consistency and
does not account for stiff/dense, compact in‐situ soil conditions such as those observed in the native

glaciomarine drift at this site. Thus, the grain‐size distribution method would not be suitable for
estimating a design infiltration rate at this site.
Due to the relatively stiff consistency and fine‐grained particle size, it is our opinion that the native
glaciomarine drift is effectively impervious and not suitable for infiltration. The presence of shallow,
perched groundwater seeps reinforces this assessment. We recommend that stormwater runoff at this
site be properly detained, treated, and discharged to an applicable storm sewer system, Fidalgo Bay, or
another appropriate outfall as specified by the project civil engineer.
Stormwater Treatment
For BMPs that will use native soil to provide runoff treatment, SSC‐6 of the SWMMWW specifies a
minimum cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 5 meq/100 grams and minimum organic content of 1.0
percent. Three samples of the native glaciomarine drift were sent to Northwest Agricultural Consultants
for testing. Results are summarized in Table I below.
Table 1. CEC/OC test results.
Sample Organic Content Cation Exchange Capacity
(meq/100g)
TP-1 @ 4 FT 1.65% 17.8
TP-3 @ 5 FT 2.20% 21.0
TP-7 @ 2.5 FT 2.17% 23.7
Based on the test results and minimum requirements of SSC‐6, the native glaciomarine drift soils are
suitable for reuse as filtration media in stormwater treatment BMPs.
Limitations of This Report
This report was prepared for the specific conditions present at the subject property to meet the needs
of specific individuals. No one other than the landowner and their agents should apply this report for
any purposes other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the geologist or
geotechnical engineer that prepared this report. The findings and recommendations presented in this
report were reached based on site visits and subsurface exploration with visual assessment of site soils.
Conditions may change at the site due to human influences, floods, groundwater changes, or other
factors. This report may not be all that is required to carry out recommended actions. More detailed
design specifications may be needed for proper design of potential infiltration facilities or drainage
features.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. Please do not hesitate to contact us
with any questions or concerns.

Determining Construction Site Sediment Damage Potential
Note: See attached. All projects within the City of Anacortes are required to complete that document
under Appendix 4.
As shown in the included evaluation, the project site has a high potential for sediment transport off
the site.

Potential Page 1 of 3
Western Washington Phase II Stormwater Permit
i. Appendix 7 – Determining Construction Site
Sediment Damage Potential
The following rating system allows objective evaluation of a particular development site’s potential to
discharge sediment. Permittees may use the rating system below or develop alternative process
designed to identify site-specific features which indicate that the site must be inspected prior to clearing
and construction. Any alternative evaluation process must be documented and provide for equivalent
environmental review.
Step one is to determine if there is a sediment/erosion sensitive feature downstream of the development
site. If there is such a site downstream complete step two, assessment of hydraulic nearness. If there is
a sediment/erosion sensitive feature and it is hydraulically near the site then go to step three to
determine the construction site sediment transport potential.
ii. STEP 1 – Sediment/Erosion Sensitive Feature Identification
Sediment/erosion sensitive features are areas subject to significant degradation due to the effect of
sediment deposition or erosion. Special protection must be provided to protect them.
Sediment/erosion sensitive features include but are not limited to:
i. Salmonid bearing fresh water streams and their tributaries or freshwater streams that
would be Salmonid bearing if not for anthropogenic barriers;
ii. Lakes;
iii. Category I, II, and III wetlands;
iv. Marine near-shore habitat;
v. Sites containing contaminated soils where erosion could cause dispersal of
contaminants; and
vi. Steep slopes (25% or greater) associated with one of the above features.
Identify any sediment/erosion sensitive features, and proceed to step two. If there are none the assessment
is complete.
iii. STEP 2 – Hydraulic Nearness Assessment
Sites are hydraulically near a feature if the pollutant load and peak quantity of runoff from the site will not
be naturally attenuated before entering the feature. The conditions that render a site hydraulically near
to a feature include, but are not limited to, the following:
i. The feature or a buffer to protect the feature is within 200 feet downstream of the site.
ii. Runoff from the site is tight-lined to the feature or flows to the feature through a channel
or ditch.
August 1, 2013, Modified January 16, 2015 Appendix 7- Determining Sediment Damage
Potential Page 2 of 3
A site is not hydraulically near a feature if one of the following takes place to provide attenuation
before runoff from the site enters the feature:
iv. Sheet flow through a vegetated area with dense ground cover
v. Flow through a wetland not included as a sensitive feature
vi. Flow through a significant shallow or adverse slope, not in a conveyance
channel, between the site and the sensitive feature.
Identify any of the sediment/erosion sensitive features from step one that are hydraulically near
the site, and proceed to step three. If none of the sediment/erosion sensitive features are
hydraulically near the site, the assessment is complete.
vii. STEP 3 – Construction Site Sediment Transport Potential
Using the worksheet below, determine the total points for each development site. Assign points
based on the most critical condition that affects 10% or more of the site.
If soil testing has been performed on site, the results should be used to determine the
predominant soil type on the site. Otherwise, soil information should be obtained from the
county soil survey to determine Hydrologic Soil Group (Table of Engineering Index Properties
for step 1.D) and Erosion Potential (Table of Water Features for step 1.E)
When using the county soil survey, the dominant soil type may be in question, particularly when
the site falls on a boundary between two soil types or when one of two soil types may be present
on a site. In this case, the soil type resulting in the most points on the rating system will be
assumed unless site soil tests indicate that another soil type dominates the site.
Use the point score from Step 3 to determine whether the development site has a high potential
for sediment transport off of the site.
Total Score Transport Rating
<100 Low
100 High
A high transport rating indicates a higher risk that the site will generate sediment contaminated
runoff.

Proposed Construction Activities (1.2)
Site development:
Phase 1 of site development includes construction of a new roadway and site preparation for a
new mixed-use development, to be constructed under a separate permit. The roadway will be
constructed first and will extend 17th Street, R Avenue, and 22nd Street/T Avenue right-of-
ways. Phase 2 includes clearing and rough grading of the shoreline buffer area to the east of
the propsed roadway and west of the ordinary high water mark.
Construction activities:
Construction activities include installation of erosion control measures, selective site demolition,
clearing, excavation, grading, utility construction, and paving.
Site drainage (including flow from and onto adjacent properties):
A Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) Plan is included in Appendix A. For phase
1, runoff will be collected by interceptor swales with rock check dams and routed to a temporary
sediment pond to be discharged to Fidalgo Bay. For phase 2, runoff east of the proposed
roadway runoff will be collected by interceptor swales with rock check dams and routed to a
temporary sediment pond to be discharged to Fidalgo Bay.
Site stabilization:
All areas disturbed by construction activities will be paved or permanently stabilized with ground
cover.
Contaminated Site Information:
The site was subject to a cleanup action in 2009-2010. On November 2018, the Department of
Ecology (Ecology) issued an opinion that no further remedial action would be needed for the site
upon completion of the proposed cleanup action. The cleanup has been completed.

Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (2.0)
The SWPPP is a living document reflecting current conditions and changes throughout the life
of the project. These changes may be informal (i.e. hand-written notes and deletions). Update
the SWPPP when the CESCL has noted a deficiency in BMPs or deviation from original design.
The 12 Elements (2.1)
Element 1: Preserve Vegetation / Mark Clearing Limits (2.1.1)
The BMP relevant to marking the clearing limits that will be applied for this project include:
· BMP C103 Fencing
o BMP shall remain in place prior to clearing and staging. BMP shall be maintained
throughout the project until the completion of construction.
The existing metal fence along the west, north, and southern frontages shall serve as a
temporary visibility fence during construction. Contractor to ensure the security and the safety of
the public and prevent unauthorized access to the site.
To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) of the City
of Anacortes and Ecology requirements, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will
inspect the BMP regularly and will promptly make adjustments as necessary if the BMP is
ineffective or failing.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Page 4
Element 2: Establish Construction Access (2.1.2)
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads and Fidalgo Bay. Street sweeping, street cleaning, or wheel wash/tire baths may be
necessary if the stabilized construction access is not effective. All washed wastewater shall be
controlled on-site. The specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be
used on this project include:
· BMP C105 Stablized Construction Entrance/Exit
For phase 1, the construction site will have three stabilized contruction entrances. The access
points will be from 17th Street from the west, R Avenue to the north, and 22nd Street/T Avenue
from the south. Fot phase 2, the construction site will have one construction entrance from the
west at the intersection of T/R Avenue and 17th Street. In addition to the contruction entrances,
all existing roadways to be used by construction equipment shall be stabilized if not already.
Stablization shall occur on all permanent and temporary surfaces immediately after grading to
reduce erosion from both runoff and construction traffic.
To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) with the
City of Anacortes and Ecology requirements, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
will inspect the BMP regularly and promptly make adjustments as necessary if the BMP is
ineffective or failing.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Page 5
Element 3: Control Flow Rates (2.1.3)
Will you construct stormwater retention and/or detention facilities?
Yes No
Will you use permanent infiltration ponds or other low impact development (example: rain
gardens, bio-retention, porous pavement) to control flow during construction?
Yes No
For phase 1, a temporary sediment pond (BMP C241) will discharge to an existing catch basin.
Interceptor swales east of T Avenue and north of 17th Street will collect and convey runoff
downstream to the sediment pond. For phase 2, a temporary sediment pond will discharge to a
new manhole on an existing storm drain outfall to Fidalgo Bay. Interceptor swales above the
ordinary high water mark will collect and convey runoff to the sediment pond. The concentrated
flows shall be controlled through the use of the following:
· BMP C200 Interceptor swale
o BMP shall be installed for concentrated flows during construction. BMP shall be
monitored once a week and after each runoff-producing rainfall event.
Immediately remove sediment from the flow area. Damage caused by
construction traffic or other activity shall be repaired before the end of each
working day.
· BMP C207 Check dam
o BMP shall be installed for concentrated flows during construction. BMP shall be
monitored once a week and after each runoff-producing rainfall event. Sediment
shall be removed when it reaches one half the height of the dam. Damage
caused by construction traffic or other activity shall be repaired before the end of
each working day
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Page 6
Element 4: Install Sediment Controls (2.1.4)
All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal
BMP before leaving the construction site. The specific BMPs to be used for controlling
sediment on this project include:
· BMP C233 Silt Fence
· BMP C235 Straw Wattles
· BMP C241 Sediment Pond
Perimeter controls where shown on the plans shall be installed along the downslope side of the
project to prevent sediment-laden stormwater from flowing off-site. Silt fences reduce the
transport of coarse sediment from a construction site by providing a temporary physical barrier
to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. Wattles will be used as
necessary to help filter water sheet flowing down the slope.
Prior to leaving the construction site, stormwater runoff from on-site disturbed areas shall be
routed to a temporary sediment pond prior to discharge to Fidalgo Bay.
The contractor shall upgrade the SWPPP facilities to account for severe storm events or if the
SWPPP facilities are ineffective at preventing turbid water from leaving the site.
In addition, sediment will be removed from paved areas in and adjacent to construction work
areas manually or by using mechanical sweepers, as needed, to minimize tracking of sediments
on vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize washoff of sediments from adjacent streets
in runoff.
To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) with the
City of Anacortes and Ecology requirements, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
will inspect the BMPs regularly and promptly make adjustments as necessary if any BMPs are
ineffective or failing.
Final stabilization includes removal of all temporary sediment control BMPs.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD

Element 5: Stabilize Soils (2.1.5)
West of the Cascade Mountains Crest
Season Dates Number of Days Soils Can
be Left Exposed
During the Dry Season May 1 – September 30 7 days
During the Wet Season October 1 – April 30 2 days
Soils must be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on
the weather forecast.
Anticipated project dates: Start date: 05/01/2020 End date: 02/31/2021
Will you construct during the wet season?
Yes No
Generally, temporary and permanent cover measures shall be provided to protect all disturbed
soils and soil stockpiles, including faces of cut and fill slopes. All stockpiled soils must be
stabilized from erosion, protected with sediment trapping measures, and, where possible,
located away from storm drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels. The amount of soil
exposed throughout the life of the project shall be addressed and stabilized immediately when
issues arise.
The specific BMPs to be used for providing soil protection from erosion include:
· BMP C120 Temporary and Permanent Seeding
· BMP C121 Mulching
· BMP C123 Plastic Covering (Erosion Control Fabrics)
Exposed soils shall be seeded throughout construction on disturbed areas that have reached
final grade or that have been left unworked for more than 30 days. Mulching shall be used on
disturbed areas that require cover measures for less than 30 days, as a cover for seed during
the wet season and during the hot summer months. Plastic covering shall be used on disturbed
areas and stockpiled soil that require cover for less than 30 days.
At final site stabilization, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated or stabilized shall be
seeded and mulched. Final stabilization means the completion of all soil-disturbing activities at
the site and the establishment of a permanent vegetative cover, or equivalent permanent
stabilization measures (such as pavement, riprap, gabions, or geotextiles), which will prevent
erosion.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Page 8
Responsible Staff: TBD
Element 6: Protect Slopes (2.1.6)
Will steep slopes be present at the site during construction?
Yes No
All cut and fill slopes shall be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner that minimizes
erosion. No hydrologic analysis is included because there are no pipe drains anticipated to be
required. The following specific BMPs will be used to protect slopes for this project:
· BMP C200 Interceptor Swale
· BMP C207 Check Dam
· BMP C121 Seeding/Mulching
· BMP C235 Straw Wattles
BMPs shall be implemented at the end of each working day when exposed soils and stockpiled
materials exist on the project site. BMPs shall be maintained daily to remain in accordance with
specifications until the completion of construction.
Interceptor swales and check dams shall be used where runoff from disturbed slopes must be
conveyed to an erosion control facility and where clean runoff from undisturbed areas must
bypass the disturbed areas. Interceptor swales shall direct runoff away from slopes and along a
constructed channel to reduce erosion potential, while check dams reduce the velocity of the
runoff flowing on the site.
To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) with the
City of Anacortes and Ecology requirements, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
will inspect the BMPs regularly and promptly make adjustments as necessary if any BMPs are
ineffective or failing.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Page 9
Element 7: Protect Drain Inlets (2.1.7)
All storm drain inlets and catch basins shall be protected to prevent unfiltered or untreated water
from entering the drainage conveyance system. However, the first priority is to keep all access
roads clean of sediment and keep street wash water separate from entering storm drains until
treatment can be provided. Storm drain inlet protection will be implemented for all drainage
inlets that could potentially be impacted by sediment-laden runoff on and near the project site.
· BMP C220 Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Storm drain inlet protection will be installed in all existing and new catch basins during
construction to prevent sediment-laden runoff from entering the drainage system. Inlets will be
inspected weekly at a minimum and daily during storm events. Cleaning catch basins and inlets
along with street sweeping will be performed as additional BMP measures to the catch basin
insert installation.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Responsible Staff: TBD
Page 10
Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets (2.1.8)
Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion of outlets,
adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream reaches, will be installed at the outlets of all
conveyance systems.
· BMP C122 Nets/blankets
The BMP may be used in the interceptor swale to help stabilize the temporary channel and
outlet.
On-site interceptor swale channels must handle the peak flow rate from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-
hour frequency storm for the developed condition. The 10-year, 1-hour flow rate predicted by
the Western Washington Hydraulic Model (WWHM), increased by a factor of 1.6, may be used.
Bare soils were assumed to be modeled as “landscaped area.” See Appendix H for confirmation
that the interceptor swales have sufficient capacity.
Installation Schedules: BMPs are to be installed prior to the start of construction and will
be adjusted as needed to mark the limits of construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspect and maintain BMPs as required per the
Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.

Table 1 – Pollutants
Pollutant (and source, if applicable)
Diesel Fuel – Source is various
Hydraulic Fluid – Source is various
Concrete and Concrete Slurry – pavement improvements
Demolition:
· Dust released from demolished sidewalks and walls will be controlled using Dust Control
(BMP C140) measures.
· Storm drain inlets vulnerable to stormwater discharge carrying dust, soil, or debris will be
protected using Storm Drain Inlet Protection (as described above for Element 7).
· Process water and slurry resulting from sawcutting and surfacing operations will be
prevented from entering the waters of the State by implementing Sawcutting and
Surfacing Pollution Prevention measures (BMP C152).
All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur on-site shall be
handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. Good
housekeeping and preventative measures shall be taken to ensure that the site will be kept
clean, well organized, and free of debris. If required, BMPs to control specific sources of
pollutants are discussed below.
In order to perform emergency repairs on-site, temporary plastic will be placed beneath and, if it
is raining, over the vehicle. Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately following any
discharge or spill incident.
Process water and slurry resulting from sawcutting and surfacing operations will be prevented
from entering the waters of the State by implementing Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution
Prevention measures.
To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) with the
City of Anacortes and Ecology requirements, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
will inspect the BMPs regularly and promptly make adjustments as necessary if any BMPs are
ineffective or failing.

Element 11: Maintain BMPs (2.1.11)
All temporary and permanent Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) BMPs shall be maintained
and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function.
Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP
specification (see Volume II of the SWMMWW or Chapter 7 of the SWMMEW).
Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the
site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to
once every calendar month.
All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is
achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on-site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal
of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following
completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If
sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility
shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.

once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Table 7 – Turbidity Sampling Method
X Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
Page 21
If the discharge’s turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
1. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region’s
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.
https://www.ecology.wa.gov/About-us/Get-involved/Report-an-environmental-issue
o Northwest Region (King, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish,
Whatcom): (425) 649-7000
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
4. Continue to sample discharges daily until one of the following is true:
o Turbidity is 25 NTU (or lower).
o Transparency is 33 cm (or greater).
o Compliance with the water quality limit for turbidity is achieved.
1 - 5 NTU over background turbidity, if background is less than 50 NTU
1% - 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50 NTU or greater
o The discharge stops or is eliminated.

pH Sampling (4.2.2)
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e. greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of the project).The use of engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water to the range of 6.5 to 8.5 su using appropriate
technology such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Written approval will be obtained from Ecology prior to the use of chemical treatment
other than CO2 sparging or dry ice.

Permit documentation will be provided within 14 days of receipt of a written request from
Ecology. A copy of the SWPPP or access to the SWPPP will be provided to the public when
requested in writing in accordance with Special Condition S5.G.2.b of the CSWGP.
Updating the SWPPP (6.1.3)
The SWPPP will be modified if:
· Found ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site.
· There is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction
site that has, or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters
of the State.
The SWPPP will be modified within seven (7) days if inspection(s) or investigation(s) determine
additional or modified BMPs are necessary for compliance. An updated timeline for BMP
implementation will be prepared.
Page 25
Reporting (6.2)
Discharge Monitoring Reports (6.2.1)
Cumulative soil disturbance is one (1) acre or larger; therefore, Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) will be submitted to Ecology monthly. If there was no discharge during a given
monitoring period the DMR will be submitted as required, reporting “No Discharge”. The DMR
due date is fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month.
DMRs will be reported online through Ecology’s WQWebDMR System.

more acres (including off-site disturbance acreage authorized in S1.C.2) and
discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State; and clearing, grading
and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a larger
common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or
sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge stormwater to
surface waters of the State.
i. This includes forest practices (including, but not limited to, class IV
conversions) that are part of a construction activity that will result in the
disturbance of one or more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the
State (that is, forest practices that prepare a site for construction
activities); and
b. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that
the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology):
i. Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the
State of Washington.
ii. Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water quality standard.
2. Operators of the following activities are not required to seek coverage under this
CSWGP (unless specifically required under Special Condition S1.B.1.b. above):
a. Construction activities that discharge all stormwater and non-stormwater to
ground water, sanitary sewer, or combined sewer, and have no point source
discharge to either surface water or a storm sewer system that drains to surface
waters of the State.
b. Construction activities covered under an Erosivity Waiver (Special Condition
S2.C).
c. Routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line and grade,
hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of a facility.

1. Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity. Subject to compliance with the
terms and conditions of this permit, Permittees are authorized to discharge
stormwater associated with construction activity to surface waters of the State or to
a storm sewer system that drains to surface waters of the State. (Note that “surface
waters of the State” may exist on a construction site as well as off site; for
example, a creek running through a site.)
2. Stormwater Associated with Construction Support Activity. This permit also
authorizes stormwater discharge from support activities related to the permitted
construction site (for example, an on-site portable rock crusher, off-site equipment
staging yards, material storage areas, borrow areas, etc.) provided:
a. The support activity relates directly to the permitted construction site that is
required to have an NPDES permit; and
b. The support activity is not a commercial operation serving multiple unrelated
construction projects, and does not operate beyond the completion of the
construction activity; and
c. Appropriate controls and measures are identified in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the discharges from the support activity areas.
3. Non-Stormwater Discharges. The categories and sources of non-stormwater
discharges identified below are authorized conditionally, provided the discharge is
consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit:

C. Erosivity Waiver
Construction site operators may qualify for an erosivity waiver from the CSWGP if the
following conditions are met:
1. The site will result in the disturbance of fewer than 5 acres and the site is not a
portion of a common plan of development or sale that will disturb 5 acres or
greater.
2. Calculation of Erosivity “R” Factor and Regional Timeframe:
a. The project’s rainfall erosivity factor (“R” Factor) must be less than 5 during the
period of construction activity, as calculated (see the CSWGP homepage
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/index.html for a
link to the EPA’s calculator and step by step instructions on computing the “R”
Factor in the EPA Erosivity Waiver Fact Sheet). The period of construction
activity starts when the land is first disturbed and ends with final stabilization.
In addition:
b. The entire period of construction activity must fall within the following
timeframes:
i. For sites west of the Cascades Crest: June 15 – September 15.
ii. For sites east of the Cascades Crest, excluding the Central Basin:
June 15 – October 15.
iii. For sites east of the Cascades Crest, within the Central Basin: no additional
timeframe restrictions apply. The Central Basin is defined as the portions
of Eastern Washington with mean annual precipitation of less than 12
inches. For a map of the Central Basin (Average Annual Precipitation
Region 2), refer to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/
construction/resourcesguidance.html.
3. Construction site operators must submit a complete Erosivity Waiver certification
form at least one week before disturbing the land. Certification must include
statements that the operator will:
a. Comply with applicable local stormwater requirements; and
b. Implement appropriate erosion and sediment control BMPs to prevent violations
of water quality standards.
4. This waiver is not available for facilities declared significant contributors of
pollutants as defined in Special Condition S1.B.1.b. or for any size construction
activity that could reasonably expect to cause a violation of any water quality
standard as defined in Special Condition S1.B.1.b.ii.
5. This waiver does not apply to construction activities which include non-
stormwater discharges listed in Special Condition S1.C.3.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 12
6. If construction activity extends beyond the certified waiver period for any reason,
the operator must either:
a. Recalculate the rainfall erosivity “R” factor using the original start date and a
new projected ending date and, if the “R” factor is still under 5 and the entire
project falls within the applicable regional timeframe in Special Condition
S2.C.2.b, complete and submit an amended waiver certification form before the
original waiver expires; or
b. Submit a complete permit application to Ecology in accordance with Special
Condition S2.A and B before the end of the certified waiver period.
S3. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
A. Discharges must not cause or contribute to a violation of surface water quality standards
(Chapter 173-201A WAC), ground water quality standards (Chapter 173-200 WAC),
sediment management standards (Chapter 173-204 WAC), and human health-based
criteria in the National Toxics Rule (40 CFR Part 131.36). Discharges not in compliance
with these standards are not authorized.
B. Prior to the discharge of stormwater and non-stormwater to waters of the State, the
Permittee must apply all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention,
control, and treatment (AKART). This includes the preparation and implementation of
an adequate SWPPP, with all appropriate BMPs installed and maintained in accordance
with the SWPPP and the terms and conditions of this permit.
C. Ecology presumes that a Permittee complies with water quality standards unless
discharge monitoring data or other site-specific information demonstrates that a
discharge causes or contributes to a violation of water quality standards, when the
Permittee complies with the following conditions. The Permittee must fully:
1. Comply with all permit conditions, including planning, sampling, monitoring,
reporting, and recordkeeping conditions.
2. Implement stormwater BMPs contained in stormwater management manuals
published or approved by Ecology, or BMPs that are demonstrably equivalent to
BMPs contained in stormwater technical manuals published or approved by
Ecology, including the proper selection, implementation, and maintenance of all
applicable and appropriate BMPs for on-site pollution control. (For purposes of
this section, the stormwater manuals listed in Appendix 10 of the Phase I
Municipal Stormwater Permit are approved by Ecology.)
D. Where construction sites also discharge to ground water, the ground water discharges
must also meet the terms and conditions of this CSWGP. Permittees who discharge to
ground water through an injection well must also comply with any applicable
requirements of the Underground Injection Control (UIC) regulations, Chapter 173-218
WAC.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 13
S4. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS, BENCHMARKS AND REPORTING
TRIGGERS
A. Site Log Book
The Permittee must maintain a site log book that contains a record of the implementation
of the SWPPP and other permit requirements, including the installation and maintenance
of BMPs, site inspections, and stormwater monitoring.
B. Site Inspections
The Permittee’s site inspections must include all areas disturbed by construction
activities, all BMPs, and all stormwater discharge points under the Permittee’s
operational control. (See Special Conditions S4.B.3 and B.4 below for detailed
requirements of the Permittee’s Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead [CESCL].)
Construction sites one acre or larger that discharge stormwater to surface waters of the
State must have site inspections conducted by a certified CESCL. Sites less than one
acre may have a person without CESCL certification conduct inspections.
1. The Permittee must examine stormwater visually for the presence of suspended
sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen. The Permittee must evaluate the
effectiveness of BMPs and determine if it is necessary to install, maintain, or repair
BMPs to improve the quality of stormwater discharges.
Based on the results of the inspection, the Permittee must correct the problems
identified by:
a. Reviewing the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and making
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection.
b. Immediately beginning the process of fully implementing and maintaining
appropriate source control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible,
addressing the problems no later than within 10 days of the inspection. If
installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology
may approve additional time when an extension is requested by a Permittee
within the initial 10-day response period.
c. Documenting BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
2. The Permittee must inspect all areas disturbed by construction activities, all BMPs,
and all stormwater discharge points at least once every calendar week and within
24 hours of any discharge from the site. (For purposes of this condition, individual
discharge events that last more than one day do not require daily inspections. For
example, if a stormwater pond discharges continuously over the course of a week,
only one inspection is required that week.) The Permittee may reduce the
inspection frequency for temporarily stabilized, inactive sites to once every
calendar month.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 14
3. The Permittee must have staff knowledgeable in the principles and practices of
erosion and sediment control. The CESCL (sites one acre or more) or inspector
(sites less than one acre) must have the skills to assess the:
a. Site conditions and construction activities that could impact the quality of
stormwater, and
b. Effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used to control the
quality of stormwater discharges.
4. The SWPPP must identify the CESCL or inspector, who must be present on site or
on-call at all times. The CESCL must obtain this certification through an approved
erosion and sediment control training program that meets the minimum training
standards established by Ecology (see BMP C160 in the manual referred to in
Special Condition S9.C.1 and 2).
5. The Permittee must summarize the results of each inspection in an inspection
report or checklist and enter the report/checklist into, or attach it to, the site log
book. At a minimum, each inspection report or checklist must include:
a. Inspection date and time.
b. Weather information, the general conditions during inspection and the
approximate amount of precipitation since the last inspection, and precipitation
within the last 24 hours.
c. A summary or list of all implemented BMPs, including observations of all
erosion/sediment control structures or practices.
d. A description of the locations:
i. Of BMPs inspected;
ii. Of BMPs that need maintenance and why;
iii. Of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or intended; and
iv. Where additional or different BMPs are needed, and why.
e. A description of stormwater discharged from the site. The Permittee must note
the presence of suspended sediment, turbidity, discoloration, and oil sheen, as
applicable.
f. Any water quality monitoring performed during inspection.
g. General comments and notes, including a brief description of any BMP repairs,
maintenance or installations made following the inspection.
h. A summary report and a schedule of implementation of the remedial actions that
the Permittee plans to take if the site inspection indicates that the site is out of
compliance. The remedial actions taken must meet the requirements of the
SWPPP and the permit.

1 Soil disturbance is calculated by adding together all areas that will be affected by construction activity.
Construction activity means clearing, grading, excavation, and any other activity that disturbs the surface of the
land, including ingress/egress from the site.
2 If construction activity results in the disturbance of 1 acre or more, and involves significant concrete work (1,000
cubic yards of poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of a project) or the use of engineered soils (soil
amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln dust [CKD], or fly ash),
and stormwater from the affected area drains to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer stormwater collection
system that drains to other surface waters of the State, the Permittee must conduct pH sampling in accordance with
Special Condition S4.D.
3 Sites with one or more acres, but fewer than 5 acres of soil disturbance, must conduct turbidity or transparency
sampling in accordance with Special Condition S4.C.
4 Sites equal to or greater than 5 acres of soil disturbance must conduct turbidity sampling using a turbidity meter in
accordance with Special Condition S4.C.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 16
C. Turbidity/Transparency Sampling Requirements
1. Sampling Methods
a. If construction activity involves the disturbance of 5 acres or more, the
Permittee must conduct turbidity sampling per Special Condition S4.C.
b. If construction activity involves 1 acre or more but fewer than 5 acres of soil
disturbance, the Permittee must conduct either transparency sampling or
turbidity sampling per Special Condition S4.C.
2. Sampling Frequency
a. The Permittee must sample all discharge points at least once every calendar
week when stormwater (or authorized non-stormwater) discharges from the site
or enters any on-site surface waters of the state (for example, a creek running
through a site); sampling is not required on sites that disturb less than an acre.
b. Samples must be representative of the flow and characteristics of the discharge.
c. Sampling is not required when there is no discharge during a calendar week.
d. Sampling is not required outside of normal working hours or during unsafe
conditions.
e. If the Permittee is unable to sample during a monitoring period, the Permittee
must include a brief explanation in the monthly Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR).
f. Sampling is not required before construction activity begins.
g. The Permittee may reduce the sampling frequency for temporarily stabilized,
inactive sites to once every calendar month.
3. Sampling Locations
a. Sampling is required at all points where stormwater associated with
construction activity (or authorized non-stormwater) is discharged off site,
including where it enters any on-site surface waters of the state (for example, a
creek running through a site).
b. The Permittee may discontinue sampling at discharge points that drain areas of
the project that are fully stabilized to prevent erosion.
c. The Permittee must identify all sampling point(s) on the SWPPP site map and
clearly mark these points in the field with a flag, tape, stake or other visible
marker.
d. Sampling is not required for discharge that is sent directly to sanitary or
combined sewer systems.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 17
e. The Permittee may discontinue sampling at discharge points in areas of the
project where the Permittee no longer has operational control of the construction
activity.
4. Sampling and Analysis Methods
a. The Permittee performs turbidity analysis with a calibrated turbidity meter
(turbidimeter) either on site or at an accredited lab. The Permittee must record
the results in the site log book in nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs).
b. The Permittee performs transparency analysis on site with a 1¾-inch-diameter,
60-centimeter (cm)-long transparency tube. The Permittee will record the results
in the site log book in centimeters (cm).

5. Turbidity/Transparency Benchmark Values and Reporting Triggers
The benchmark value for turbidity is 25 NTUs or less. The benchmark value for
transparency is 33 centimeters (cm). Note: Benchmark values do not apply to
discharges to segments of water bodies on Washington State’s 303(d) list
(Category 5) for turbidity, fine sediment, or phosphorus; these discharges are
subject to a numeric effluent limit for turbidity. Refer to Special Condition S8 for
more information.
a. Turbidity 26 – 249 NTUs, or Transparency 32 – 7 cm:
If the discharge turbidity is 26 to 249 NTUs; or if discharge transparency is
less than 33 cm, but equal to or greater than 6 cm, the Permittee must:
i. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and make
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the
benchmark.
ii. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain
appropriate source control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible,
addressing the problems within 10 days of the date the discharge
exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary treatment BMPs is
not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time when
the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response
period.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 18
iii. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
b. Turbidity 250 NTUs or greater, or Transparency 6 cm or less:
If a discharge point’s turbidity is 250 NTUs or greater, or if discharge
transparency is less than or equal to 6 cm, the Permittee must complete the
reporting and adaptive management process described below.
i. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology
Region’s Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) number (or
through Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting Portal [WQWebPortal] –

Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 19
c) The Permittee has demonstrated compliance with the water quality
limit for turbidity:
1) No more than 5 NTUs over background turbidity, if background
is less than 50 NTUs, or
2) No more than 10% over background turbidity, if background is
50 NTUs or greater; or
d) The discharge stops or is eliminated.
D. pH Sampling Requirements – Significant Concrete Work or Engineered Soils
If construction activity results in the disturbance of 1 acre or more, and involves
significant concrete work (significant concrete work means greater than 1000 cubic
yards poured concrete or recycled concrete used over the life of a project) or the use of
engineered soils (soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated
base [CTB], cement kiln dust [CKD], or fly ash), and stormwater from the affected area
drains to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer system that drains to surface
waters of the State, the Permittee must conduct pH sampling as set forth below. Note: In
addition, discharges to segments of water bodies on Washington State’s 303(d) list
(Category 5) for high pH are subject to a numeric effluent limit for pH; refer to Special
Condition S8.
1. For sites with significant concrete work, the Permittee must begin the pH sampling
period when the concrete is first poured and exposed to precipitation, and continue
weekly throughout and after the concrete pour and curing period, until stormwater
pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su).
2. For sites with recycled concrete where monitoring is required, the Permittee must
begin the weekly pH sampling period when the recycled concrete is first exposed
to precipitation and must continue until the recycled concrete is fully stabilized
with the stormwater pH in the range of 6.5 to 8.5 (su).
3. For sites with engineered soils, the Permittee must begin the pH sampling period
when the soil amendments are first exposed to precipitation and must continue
until the area of engineered soils is fully stabilized.
4. During the applicable pH monitoring period defined above, the Permittee must
obtain a representative sample of stormwater and conduct pH analysis at least once
per week.
5. The Permittee must sample pH in the sediment trap/pond(s) or other locations that
receive stormwater runoff from the area of significant concrete work or engineered
soils before the stormwater discharges to surface waters.
6. The benchmark value for pH is 8.5 standard units. Anytime sampling indicates that
pH is 8.5 or greater, the Permittee must either:
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 20
a. Prevent the high pH water (8.5 or above) from entering storm sewer systems or
surface waters; or
b. If necessary, adjust or neutralize the high pH water until it is in the range of pH
6.5 to 8.5 (su) using an appropriate treatment BMP such as carbon dioxide
(CO2) sparging or dry ice. The Permittee must obtain written approval from
Ecology before using any form of chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging
or dry ice.
7. The Permittee must perform pH analysis on site with a calibrated pH meter, pH
test kit, or wide range pH indicator paper. The Permittee must record pH sampling
results in the site log book.
S5. REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
A. High Turbidity Reporting
Anytime sampling performed in accordance with Special Condition S4.C indicates
turbidity has reached the 250 NTUs or more (or transparency less than or equal to 6 cm)
high turbidity reporting level, the Permittee must either call the applicable Ecology
Region’s Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) number by phone within 24
hours of analysis or submit an electronic ERTS report (or submit an electronic report
through Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting Portal (WQWebPortal) – Permit Submittals
when the form is available). See the CSWGP web site for links to ERTS and the

results, inspection reports/checklists, etc.), Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, copy
of the permit coverage letter (including Transfer of Coverage documentation), and any
other documentation of compliance with permit requirements for the entire life of the
construction project and for a minimum of three years following the termination of
permit coverage. Such information must include all calibration and maintenance records,
and records of all data used to complete the application for this permit. This period of
retention must be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation regarding the
discharge of pollutants by the Permittee or when requested by Ecology.
D. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken, the Permittee must record the following
information:
1. Date, place, method, and time of sampling or measurement.
2. The first and last name of the individual who performed the sampling or
measurement.
3. The date(s) the analyses were performed.
4. The first and last name of the individual who performed the analyses.
5. The analytical techniques or methods used.
6. The results of all analyses.
E. Additional Monitoring by the Permittee
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit
using test procedures specified by Special Condition S4 of this permit, the results of this
monitoring must be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted in the
Permittee’s DMR.
F. Noncompliance Notification
In the event the Permittee is unable to comply with any part of the terms and conditions
of this permit, and the resulting noncompliance may cause a threat to human health or
the environment (such as but not limited to spills of fuels or other materials, catastrophic
pond or slope failure, and discharges that violate water quality standards), or exceed
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 22
numeric effluent limitations (see S8. Discharges to 303(d) or TMDL Waterbodies), the
Permittee must, upon becoming aware of the circumstance:
1. Notify Ecology within 24-hours of the failure to comply by calling the applicable
Regional office ERTS phone number (refer to Special Condition S4.C.5.b.i. or
www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/turbidity.html
for Regional ERTS phone numbers).
2. Immediately take action to prevent the discharge/pollution, or otherwise stop or
correct the noncompliance, and, if applicable, repeat sampling and analysis of any
noncompliance immediately and submit the results to Ecology within five (5) days
of becoming aware of the violation.
3. Submit a detailed written report to Ecology within five (5) days, of the time the
Permittee becomes aware of the circumstances, unless requested earlier by
Ecology. The report must be submitted using Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting
Portal (WQWebPortal) - Permit Submittals, unless a waiver from electronic
reporting has been granted according to S5.B. The report must contain a
description of the noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and if the
noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to
continue; and the steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent
reoccurrence of the noncompliance.
The Permittee must report any unanticipated bypass and/or upset that exceeds any
effluent limit in the permit in accordance with the 24-hour reporting requirement
contained in 40 C.F.R. 122.41(l)(6).
Compliance with these requirements does not relieve the Permittee from
responsibility to maintain continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of
this permit or the resulting liability for failure to comply. Upon request of the
Permittee, Ecology may waive the requirement for a written report on a case-by-
case basis, if the immediate notification is received by Ecology within 24 hours.
G. Access to Plans and Records
1. The Permittee must retain the following permit documentation (plans and records)
on site, or within reasonable access to the site, for use by the operator or for on-site
review by Ecology or the local jurisdiction:
a. General Permit
b. Permit Coverage Letter
c. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

i. Provide a copy of the plans and records to the requester within 14 days of
a receipt of the written request; or
ii. Notify the requester within 10 days of receipt of the written request of the
location and times within normal business hours when the plans and
records may be viewed; and provide access to the plans and records
within 14 days of receipt of the written request; or
iii. Within 14 days of receipt of the written request, the Permittee may
submit a copy of the plans and records to Ecology for viewing and/or
copying by the requester at an Ecology office, or a mutually agreed
location. If plans and records are viewed and/or copied at a location other
than at an Ecology office, the Permittee will provide reasonable access to
copying services for which a reasonable fee may be charged. The
Permittee must notify the requester within 10 days of receipt of the
request where the plans and records may be viewed and/or copied.
S6. PERMIT FEES
The Permittee must pay permit fees assessed by Ecology. Fees for stormwater discharges
covered under this permit are established by Chapter 173-224 WAC. Ecology continues to
assess permit fees until the permit is terminated in accordance with Special Condition S10
or revoked in accordance with General Condition G5.
S7. SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL
The Permittee must handle and dispose of solid and liquid wastes generated by construction
activity, such as demolition debris, construction materials, contaminated materials, and
waste materials from maintenance activities, including liquids and solids from cleaning
catch basins and other stormwater facilities, in accordance with:
A. Special Condition S3, Compliance with Standards
B. WAC 173-216-110
C. Other applicable regulations
S8. DISCHARGES TO 303(d) OR TMDL WATERBODIES
A. Sampling and Numeric Effluent Limits For Certain Discharges to 303(d)-listed
Waterbodies
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 24
1. Permittees who discharge to segments of waterbodies listed as impaired by the
State of Washington under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act for turbidity,
fine sediment, high pH, or phosphorus, must conduct water quality sampling
according to the requirements of this section, and Special Conditions S4.C.2.b-f
and S4.C.3.b-d, and must comply with the applicable numeric effluent limitations
in S8.C and S8.D.
2. All references and requirements associated with Section 303(d) of the Clean Water
Act mean the most current listing by Ecology of impaired waters (Category 5) that
exists on January 1, 2016, or the date when the operator’s complete permit
application is received by Ecology, whichever is later.
B. Limits on Coverage for New Discharges to TMDL or 303(d)-listed Waters
Operators of construction sites that discharge to a TMDL or 303(d)-listed waterbody are
not eligible for coverage under this permit unless the operator:
1. Prevents exposing stormwater to pollutants for which the waterbody is impaired,
and retains documentation in the SWPPP that details procedures taken to prevent
exposure on site; or
2. Documents that the pollutants for which the waterbody is impaired are not present
at the site, and retains documentation of this finding within the SWPPP; or
3. Provides Ecology with data indicating the discharge is not expected to cause or
contribute to an exceedance of a water quality standard, and retains such data on
site with the SWPPP. The operator must provide data and other technical
information to Ecology that sufficiently demonstrate:
a. For discharges to waters without an EPA-approved or -established TMDL, that
the discharge of the pollutant for which the water is impaired will meet in-
stream water quality criteria at the point of discharge to the waterbody; or
b. For discharges to waters with an EPA-approved or -established TMDL, that
there is sufficient remaining wasteload allocation in the TMDL to allow
construction stormwater discharge and that existing dischargers to the
waterbody are subject to compliance schedules designed to bring the waterbody
into attainment with water quality standards.
Operators of construction sites are eligible for coverage under this permit if
Ecology issues permit coverage based upon an affirmative determination that the
discharge will not cause or contribute to the existing impairment.
C. Sampling and Numeric Effluent Limits for Discharges to Water Bodies on the 303(d)
List for Turbidity, Fine Sediment, or Phosphorus
1. Permittees who discharge to segments of water bodies on the 303(d) list (Category
5) for turbidity, fine sediment, or phosphorus must conduct turbidity sampling in
accordance with Special Condition S4.C.2 and comply with either of the numeric
effluent limits noted in Table 5 below.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 25
2. As an alternative to the 25 NTUs effluent limit noted in Table 5 below (applied at
the point where stormwater [or authorized non-stormwater] is discharged off-site),
Permittees may choose to comply with the surface water quality standard for
turbidity. The standard is: no more than 5 NTUs over background turbidity when
the background turbidity is 50 NTUs or less, or no more than a 10% increase in
turbidity when the background turbidity is more than 50 NTUs. In order to use the
water quality standard requirement, the sampling must take place at the following
locations:
a. Background turbidity in the 303(d)-listed receiving water immediately upstream
(upgradient) or outside the area of influence of the discharge.
b. Turbidity at the point of discharge into the 303(d)-listed receiving water, inside
the area of influence of the discharge.
3. Discharges that exceed the numeric effluent limit for turbidity constitute a
violation of this permit.
4. Permittees whose discharges exceed the numeric effluent limit shall sample
discharges daily until the violation is corrected and comply with the non-
compliance notification requirements in Special Condition S5.F.

the following locations:
a. Directly in the 303(d)-listed waterbody segment, inside the immediate area of
influence of the discharge; or
b. Alternatively, the Permittee may measure pH at the point where the discharge
leaves the construction site, rather than in the receiving water.
3. Discharges that exceed the numeric effluent limit for pH (outside the range of 6.5 –
8.5 su) constitute a violation of this permit.
4. Permittees whose discharges exceed the numeric effluent limit shall sample
discharges daily until the violation is corrected and comply with the non-
compliance notification requirements in Special Condition S5.F.
E. Sampling and Limits for Sites Discharging to Waters Covered by a TMDL or Another
Pollution Control Plan
1. Discharges to a waterbody that is subject to a Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for turbidity, fine sediment, high pH, or phosphorus must be consistent
with the TMDL. Refer to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl/
TMDLsbyWria/TMDLbyWria.html for more information on TMDLs.
a. Where an applicable TMDL sets specific waste load allocations or requirements
for discharges covered by this permit, discharges must be consistent with any
specific waste load allocations or requirements established by the applicable
TMDL.
i. The Permittee must sample discharges weekly or as otherwise specified
by the TMDL to evaluate compliance with the specific waste load
allocations or requirements.
ii. Analytical methods used to meet the monitoring requirements must
conform to the latest revision of the Guidelines Establishing Test
Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants contained in 40 CFR Part 136.
Turbidity and pH methods need not be accredited or registered unless
conducted at a laboratory which must otherwise be accredited or
registered.
b. Where an applicable TMDL has established a general waste load allocation for
construction stormwater discharges, but has not identified specific requirements,
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 27
compliance with Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will
constitute compliance with the approved TMDL.
c. Where an applicable TMDL has not specified a waste load allocation for
construction stormwater discharges, but has not excluded these discharges,
compliance with Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will
constitute compliance with the approved TMDL.
d. Where an applicable TMDL specifically precludes or prohibits discharges from
construction activity, the operator is not eligible for coverage under this permit.
2. Applicable TMDL means a TMDL for turbidity, fine sediment, high pH, or
phosphorus that is completed and approved by EPA before January 1, 2016, or
before the date the operator’s complete permit application is received by Ecology,
whichever is later. TMDLs completed after the operator’s complete permit
application is received by Ecology become applicable to the Permittee only if they
are imposed through an administrative order by Ecology, or through a modification
of permit coverage.
S9. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee must prepare and properly implement an adequate Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activity in accordance with the requirements of
this permit beginning with initial soil disturbance and until final stabilization.
A. The Permittee’s SWPPP must meet the following objectives:
1. To implement best management practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and
sedimentation, and to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater
contamination and water pollution from construction activity.
2. To prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or sediment
management standards.
3. To control peak volumetric flow rates and velocities of stormwater discharges.
B. General Requirements
1. The SWPPP must include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs must be clearly
referenced in the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative
must include documentation to explain and justify the pollution prevention
decisions made for the project. Documentation must include:
a. Information about existing site conditions (topography, drainage, soils,
vegetation, etc.).
b. Potential erosion problem areas.
c. The 13 elements of a SWPPP in Special Condition S9.D.1-13, including BMPs
used to address each element.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 28
d. Construction phasing/sequence and general BMP implementation schedule.
e. The actions to be taken if BMP performance goals are not achieved—for
example, a contingency plan for additional treatment and/or storage of
stormwater that would violate the water quality standards if discharged.
f. Engineering calculations for ponds, treatment systems, and any other designed
structures. When a treatment system requires engineering calculations, these
calculations must be included in the SWPPP. Engineering calculations do not
need to be included in the SWPPP for treatment systems that do not require
such calculations.
2. The Permittee must modify the SWPPP if, during inspections or investigations
conducted by the owner/operator, or the applicable local or state regulatory
authority, it is determined that the SWPPP is, or would be, ineffective in
eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharges from
the site. The Permittee must then:
a. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9 and make
appropriate revisions within 7 days of the inspection or investigation.
b. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate
source control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible, addressing the
problems no later than 10 days from the inspection or investigation. If
installation of necessary treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology
may approve additional time when an extension is requested by a Permittee
within the initial 10-day response period.
c. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
The Permittee must modify the SWPPP whenever there is a change in design,
construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction site that has, or could
have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters of the State.
C. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)
BMPs must be consistent with:
1. Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (most current approved
edition at the time this permit was issued), for sites west of the crest of the Cascade
Mountains; or
2. Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (most current approved
edition at the time this permit was issued), for sites east of the crest of the Cascade
Mountains; or
3. Revisions to the manuals listed in Special Condition S9.C.1. & 2., or other
stormwater management guidance documents or manuals which provide an
equivalent level of pollution prevention, that are approved by Ecology and
incorporated into this permit in accordance with the permit modification
requirements of WAC 173-226-230; or
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 29
4. Documentation in the SWPPP that the BMPs selected provide an equivalent level
of pollution prevention, compared to the applicable Stormwater Management
Manuals, including:
a. The technical basis for the selection of all stormwater BMPs (scientific,
technical studies, and/or modeling) that support the performance claims for the
BMPs being selected.
b. An assessment of how the selected BMP will satisfy AKART requirements and
the applicable federal technology-based treatment requirements under 40 CFR
part 125.3.
D. SWPPP – Narrative Contents and Requirements
The Permittee must include each of the 13 elements below in Special Condition
S9.D.1-13 in the narrative of the SWPPP and implement them unless site
conditions render the element unnecessary and the exemption from that element is
clearly justified in the SWPPP.
1. Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
a. Before beginning land-disturbing activities, including clearing and grading,
clearly mark all clearing limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, and trees that
are to be preserved within the construction area.
b. Retain the duff layer, native topsoil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed
state to the maximum degree practicable.
2. Establish Construction Access
a. Limit construction vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.
b. Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other
equivalent BMPs, to minimize tracking sediment onto roads.
c. Locate wheel wash or tire baths on site, if the stabilized construction entrance is
not effective in preventing tracking sediment onto roads.
d. If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end
of each day, or more frequently as necessary (for example, during wet weather).
Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or pickup and transport
of the sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area.
e. Conduct street washing only after sediment removal in accordance with Special
Condition S9.D.2.d. Control street wash wastewater by pumping back on site or
otherwise preventing it from discharging into systems tributary to waters of the
State.
3. Control Flow Rates
a. Protect properties and waterways downstream of development sites from
erosion and the associated discharge of turbid waters due to increases in the
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 30
velocity and peak volumetric flow rate of stormwater runoff from the project
site, as required by local plan approval authority.
b. Where necessary to comply with Special Condition S9.D.3.a, construct
stormwater retention or detention facilities as one of the first steps in grading.
Assure that detention facilities function properly before constructing site
improvements (for example, impervious surfaces).
c. If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction,
protect these facilities from siltation during the construction phase.
4. Install Sediment Controls
The Permittee must design, install and maintain effective erosion controls and
sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants. At a minimum, the
Permittee must design, install and maintain such controls to:
a. Construct sediment control BMPs (sediment ponds, traps, filters, infiltration
facilities, etc.) as one of the first steps in grading. These BMPs must be
functional before other land disturbing activities take place.
b. Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design, installation and
maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must address factors such as the
amount, frequency, intensity and duration of precipitation, the nature of
resulting stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics, including the range of soil
particle sizes expected to be present on the site.
c. Direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas through a sediment pond or other
appropriate sediment removal BMP, before the runoff leaves a construction site
or before discharge to an infiltration facility. Runoff from fully stabilized areas
may be discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must meet the flow
control performance standard of Special Condition S9.D.3.a.
d. Locate BMPs intended to trap sediment on site in a manner to avoid interference
with the movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas
or drainages.
e. Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to
vegetated areas to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater
infiltration, unless infeasible.
f. Where feasible, design outlet structures that withdraw impounded stormwater
from the surface to avoid discharging sediment that is still suspended lower in
the water column.
5. Stabilize Soils
a. The Permittee must stabilize exposed and unworked soils by application of
effective BMPs that prevent erosion. Applicable BMPs include, but are not
limited to: temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic
covering, erosion control fabrics and matting, soil application of polyacrylamide
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 31
(PAM), the early application of gravel base on areas to be paved, and dust
control.
b. The Permittee must control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to
minimize soil erosion.
c. The Permittee must control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow
rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize erosion at outlets and to
minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion.
d. Depending on the geographic location of the project, the Permittee must not
allow soils to remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set
forth below to prevent erosion:
West of the Cascade Mountains Crest
During the dry season (May 1 - September 30): 7 days
During the wet season (October 1 - April 30): 2 days
East of the Cascade Mountains Crest, except for Central Basin*
During the dry season (July 1 - September 30): 10 days
During the wet season (October 1 - June 30): 5 days
The Central Basin*, East of the Cascade Mountains Crest
During the dry season (July 1 - September 30): 30 days
During the wet season (October 1 - June 30): 15 days
*Note: The Central Basin is defined as the portions of Eastern
Washington with mean annual precipitation of less than 12 inches.
e. The Permittee must stabilize soils at the end of the shift before a holiday or
weekend if needed based on the weather forecast.
f. The Permittee must stabilize soil stockpiles from erosion, protected with
sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be located away from storm
drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels.
g. The Permittee must minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction
activity.
h. The Permittee must minimize the disturbance of steep slopes.
i. The Permittee must minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve
topsoil.
6. Protect Slopes
a. The Permittee must design and construct cut-and-fill slopes in a manner to
minimize erosion. Applicable practices include, but are not limited to, reducing
continuous length of slope with terracing and diversions, reducing slope
steepness, and roughening slope surfaces (for example, track walking).
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 32
b. The Permittee must divert off-site stormwater (run-on) or ground water away
from slopes and disturbed areas with interceptor dikes, pipes, and/or swales.
Off-site stormwater should be managed separately from stormwater generated
on the site.
c. At the top of slopes, collect drainage in pipe slope drains or protected channels
to prevent erosion.
i. West of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Temporary pipe slope drains must
handle the peak 10-minute flow rate from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour
frequency storm for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year,
1-hour flow rate predicted by an approved continuous runoff model,
increased by a factor of 1.6, may be used. The hydrologic analysis must
use the existing land cover condition for predicting flow rates from
tributary areas outside the project limits. For tributary areas on the project
site, the analysis must use the temporary or permanent project land cover
condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates. If using the
Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) to predict flows, bare
soil areas should be modeled as "landscaped area.”
ii. East of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Temporary pipe slope drains must
handle the expected peak flow rate from a 6-month, 3-hour storm for the
developed condition, referred to as the short duration storm.
d. Place excavated material on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with safety
and space considerations.
e. Place check dams at regular intervals within constructed channels that are cut
down a slope.
7. Protect Drain Inlets
a. Protect all storm drain inlets made operable during construction so that
stormwater runoff does not enter the conveyance system without first being
filtered or treated to remove sediment.
b. Clean or remove and replace inlet protection devices when sediment has filled
one-third of the available storage (unless a different standard is specified by the
product manufacturer).
8. Stabilize Channels and Outlets
a. Design, construct and stabilize all on-site conveyance channels to prevent
erosion from the following expected peak flows:
i. West of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Channels must handle the peak
10-minute flow rate from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm
for the developed condition. Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour flow rate
indicated by an approved continuous runoff model, increased by a factor
of 1.6, may be used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing land
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 33
cover condition for predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the
project limits. For tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use
the temporary or permanent project land cover condition, whichever will
produce the highest flow rates. If using the WWHM to predict flows, bare
soil areas should be modeled as "landscaped area.”
ii. East of the Cascade Mountains Crest: Channels must handle the expected
peak flow rate from a 6-month, 3-hour storm for the developed condition,
referred to as the short duration storm.
b. Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion
of outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream reaches at the outlets
of all conveyance systems.
9. Control Pollutants
Design, install, implement and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to
minimize the discharge of pollutants. The Permittee must:
a. Handle and dispose of all pollutants, including waste materials and demolition
debris that occur on site in a manner that does not cause contamination of
stormwater.
b. Provide cover, containment, and protection from vandalism for all chemicals,
liquid products, petroleum products, and other materials that have the potential
to pose a threat to human health or the environment. On-site fueling tanks must
include secondary containment. Secondary containment means placing tanks or
containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of the
volume contained in the largest tank within the containment structure. Double-
walled tanks do not require additional secondary containment.
c. Conduct maintenance, fueling, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles
using spill prevention and control measures. Clean contaminated surfaces
immediately following any spill incident.
d. Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site treatment
system that prevents discharge to surface water, such as closed-loop
recirculation or upland land application, or to the sanitary sewer with local
sewer district approval.
e. Apply fertilizers and pesticides in a manner and at application rates that will not
result in loss of chemical to stormwater runoff. Follow manufacturers’ label
requirements for application rates and procedures.
f. Use BMPs to prevent contamination of stormwater runoff by pH-modifying
sources. The sources for this contamination include, but are not limited to: bulk
cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete washing and curing waters,
recycled concrete stockpiles, waste streams generated from concrete grinding
and sawing, exposed aggregate processes, dewatering concrete vaults, concrete
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 34
pumping and mixer washout waters. (Also refer to the definition for "concrete
wastewater" in Appendix A--Definitions.)
g. Adjust the pH of stormwater or authorized non-stormwater if necessary to
prevent an exceedance of groundwater and/or surface water quality standards.
h. Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in designated
concrete washout areas only. Do not wash out concrete truck drums or concrete
handling equipment onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets,
or streams. Washout of concrete handling equipment may be disposed of in a
designated concrete washout area or in a formed area awating concrete where it
will not contaminate surface or ground water. Do not dump excess concrete on
site, except in designated concrete washout areas. Concrete spillage or concrete
discharge directly to groundwater or surface waters of the State is prohibited.
Do not wash out to formed areas awaiting LID facilities.
i. Obtain written approval from Ecology before using any chemical treatment,
with the exception of CO2 or dry ice used to adjust pH.
j. Uncontaminated water from water-only based shaft drilling for construction of
building, road, and bridge foundations may be infiltrated provided the
wastewater is managed in a way that prohibits discharge to surface waters. Prior
to infiltration, water from water-only based shaft drilling that comes into contact
with curing concrete must be neutralized until pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5
(su).
10. Control Dewatering
a. Permittees must discharge foundation, vault, and trench dewatering water,
which have characteristics similar to stormwater runoff at the site, into a
controlled conveyance system before discharge to a sediment trap or sediment
pond.
b. Permittees may discharge clean, non-turbid dewatering water, such as well-
point ground water, to systems tributary to, or directly into surface waters of the
State, as specified in Special Condition S9.D.8, provided the dewatering flow
does not cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters. Do not route clean
dewatering water through stormwater sediment ponds. Note that “surface waters
of the State” may exist on a construction site as well as off site; for example, a
creek running through a site.
c. Other dewatering treatment or disposal options may include:
i. Infiltration.
ii. Transport off site in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal
disposal in a manner that does not pollute state waters.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 35
iii. Ecology-approved on-site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment
technologies (see S9.D.9.i. regarding chemical treatment written
approval).
iv. Sanitary or combined sewer discharge with local sewer district approval,
if there is no other option.
v. Use of a sedimentation bag with discharge to a ditch or swale for small
volumes of localized dewatering.
d. Permittees must handle highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water
separately from stormwater.
11. Maintain BMPs
a. Permittees must maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and
sediment control BMPs as needed to assure continued performance of their
intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
b. Permittees must remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs
within 30 days after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary
BMPs are no longer needed.
12. Manage the Project
a. Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into
account seasonal work limitations.
b. Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain and repair all BMPs as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function. Conduct site
inspections and monitoring in accordance with Special Condition S4.
c. Maintaining an updated construction SWPPP – Maintain, update, and
implement the SWPPP in accordance with Special Conditions S3, S4 and S9.
13. Protect Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs
The primary purpose of LID BMPs/On-site LID Stormwater Management BMPs is
to reduce the disruption of the natural site hydrology. LID BMPs are permanent
facilities.
a. Permittees must protect all Bioretention and Rain Garden facilities from
sedimentation through installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment
control BMPs on portions of the site that drain into the Bioretention and/or Rain
Garden facilities. Restore the facilities to their fully functioning condition if
they accumulate sediment during construction. Restoring the facility must
include removal of sediment and any sediment-laden Bioretention/Rain Garden
soils, and replacing the removed soils with soils meeting the design
specification.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 36
b. Permittees must maintain the infiltration capabilities of Bioretention and Rain
Garden facilities by protecting against compaction by construction equipment
and foot traffic. Protect completed lawn and landscaped areas from compaction
due to construction equipment.
c. Permittees must control erosion and avoid introducing sediment from
surrounding land uses onto permeable pavements. Do not allow muddy
construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not allow
sediment-laden runoff onto permeable pavements.
d. Permittees must clean permeable pavements fouled with sediments or no longer
passing an initial infiltration test using local stormwater manual methodology or
the manufacturer’s procedures.
e. Permittees must keep all heavy equipment off existing soils under LID facilities
that have been excavated to final grade to retain the infiltration rate of the soils.
E. SWPPP – Map Contents and Requirements
The Permittee’s SWPPP must also include a vicinity map or general location map (for
example, a USGS quadrangle map, a portion of a county or city map, or other
appropriate map) with enough detail to identify the location of the construction site and
receiving waters within one mile of the site.
The SWPPP must also include a legible site map (or maps) showing the entire
construction site. The following features must be identified, unless not applicable due to
site conditions:
1. The direction of north, property lines, and existing structures and roads.
2. Cut and fill slopes indicating the top and bottom of slope catch lines.
3. Approximate slopes, contours, and direction of stormwater flow before and after
major grading activities.
4. Areas of soil disturbance and areas that will not be disturbed.
5. Locations of structural and nonstructural controls (BMPs) identified in the
SWPPP.
6. Locations of off-site material, stockpiles, waste storage, borrow areas, and
vehicle/equipment storage areas.
7. Locations of all surface water bodies, including wetlands.
8. Locations where stormwater or non-stormwater discharges off-site and/or to a
surface waterbody, including wetlands.
9. Location of water quality sampling station(s), if sampling is required by state or
local permitting authority.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 37
10. Areas where final stabilization has been accomplished and no further construction-
phase permit requirements apply.
11. Location or proposed location of LID facilities.
S10. NOTICE OF TERMINATION
A. The site is eligible for termination of coverage when it has met any of the following
conditions:
1. The site has undergone final stabilization, the Permittee has removed all temporary
BMPs (except biodegradable BMPs clearly manufactured with the intention for the
material to be left in place and not interfere with maintenance or land use), and all
stormwater discharges associated with construction activity have been eliminated;

When an electronic termination form is available, the Permittee may choose to submit a
complete and accurate Notice of Termination (NOT) form through the Water Quality
Permitting Portal rather than mailing a hardcopy as noted above.
The termination is effective on the thirty-first calendar day following the date Ecology
receives a complete NOT form, unless Ecology notifies the Permittee that the
termination request is denied because the Permittee has not met the eligibility
requirements in Special Condition S10.A.
Permittees are required to comply with all conditions and effluent limitations in the
permit until the permit has been terminated.
Permittees transferring the property to a new property owner or operator/Permittee are
required to complete and submit the Notice of Transfer form to Ecology, but are not
required to submit a Notice of Termination form for this type of transaction.

Clean Water Act.
G4. GENERAL PERMIT MODIFICATION AND REVOCATION
This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 173-226 WAC. Grounds for modification, revocation and reissuance,
or termination include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. When a change occurs in the technology or practices for control or abatement of
pollutants applicable to the category of dischargers covered under this permit.
B. When effluent limitation guidelines or standards are promulgated pursuant to the CWA
or Chapter 90.48 RCW, for the category of dischargers covered under this permit.
C. When a water quality management plan containing requirements applicable to the
category of dischargers covered under this permit is approved, or
D. When information is obtained that indicates cumulative effects on the environment from
dischargers covered under this permit are unacceptable.
G5. REVOCATION OF COVERAGE UNDER THE PERMIT
Pursuant to Chapter 43.21B RCW and Chapter 173-226 WAC, the Director may terminate
coverage for any discharger under this permit for cause. Cases where coverage may be
terminated include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. Violation of any term or condition of this permit.
B. Obtaining coverage under this permit by misrepresentation or failure to disclose fully all
relevant facts.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 40
C. A change in any condition that requires either a temporary or permanent reduction or
elimination of the permitted discharge.
D. Failure or refusal of the Permittee to allow entry as required in RCW 90.48.090.
E. A determination that the permitted activity endangers human health or the environment,
or contributes to water quality standards violations.
F. Nonpayment of permit fees or penalties assessed pursuant to RCW 90.48.465 and
Chapter 173-224 WAC.
G. Failure of the Permittee to satisfy the public notice requirements of WAC 173-226-
130(5), when applicable.
The Director may require any discharger under this permit to apply for and obtain
coverage under an individual permit or another more specific general permit. Permittees
who have their coverage revoked for cause according to WAC 173-226-240 may request
temporary coverage under this permit during the time an individual permit is being
developed, provided the request is made within ninety (90) days from the time of
revocation and is submitted along with a complete individual permit application form.
G6. REPORTING A CAUSE FOR MODIFICATION
The Permittee must submit a new application, or a supplement to the previous application,
whenever a material change to the construction activity or in the quantity or type of
discharge is anticipated which is not specifically authorized by this permit. This application
must be submitted at least sixty (60) days prior to any proposed changes. Filing a request for
a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned
changes or anticipated noncompliance does not relieve the Permittee of the duty to comply
with the existing permit until it is modified or reissued.
G7. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND STATUTES
Nothing in this permit will be construed as excusing the Permittee from compliance with
any applicable federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations.

G9. TRANSFER OF GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
Coverage under this general permit is automatically transferred to a new discharger,
including operators of lots/parcels within a common plan of development or sale, if:
A. A written agreement (Transfer of Coverage Form) between the current discharger
(Permittee) and new discharger, signed by both parties and containing a specific date for
transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liability (including any Administrative
Orders associated with the Permit) is submitted to the Director; and
B. The Director does not notify the current discharger and new discharger of the Director’s
intent to revoke coverage under the general permit. If this notice is not given, the transfer
is effective on the date specified in the written agreement.
When a current discharger (Permittee) transfers a portion of a permitted site, the current
discharger must also submit an updated application form (NOI) to the Director
indicating the remaining permitted acreage after the transfer.
G10. REMOVED SUBSTANCES
The Permittee must not re-suspend or reintroduce collected screenings, grit, solids, sludges,
filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
stormwater to the final effluent stream for discharge to state waters.
G11. DUTY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
The Permittee must submit to Ecology, within a reasonable time, all information that
Ecology may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and
reissuing, or terminating this permit or to determine compliance with this permit. The
Permittee must also submit to Ecology, upon request, copies of records required to be kept
by this permit [40 CFR 122.41(h)].
G12. OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF 40 CFR
All other requirements of 40 CFR 122.41 and 122.42 are incorporated in this permit by
reference.
G13. ADDITIONAL MONITORING
Ecology may establish specific monitoring requirements in addition to those contained in
this permit by administrative order or permit modification.
G14. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING PERMIT CONDITIONS
Any person who is found guilty of willfully violating the terms and conditions of this permit
shall be deemed guilty of a crime, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of
up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and costs of prosecution, or by imprisonment at the
discretion of the court. Each day upon which a willful violation occurs may be deemed a
separate and additional violation.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 42
Any person who violates the terms and conditions of a waste discharge permit shall incur, in
addition to any other penalty as provided by law, a civil penalty in the amount of up to ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) for every such violation. Each and every such violation shall be a
separate and distinct offense, and in case of a continuing violation, every day’s continuance
shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct violation.
G15. UPSET
Definition – “Upset” means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of the following
paragraph are met.
A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset must demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that: 1)
an upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; 2) the
permitted facility was being properly operated at the time of the upset; 3) the Permittee
submitted notice of the upset as required in Special Condition S5.F, and; 4) the Permittee
complied with any remedial measures required under this permit.
In any enforcement proceeding, the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
G16. PROPERTY RIGHTS
This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
G17. DUTY TO COMPLY
The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal
application.
G18. TOXIC POLLUTANTS
The Permittee must comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section
307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the
regulations that establish those standards or prohibitions, even if this permit has not yet been
modified to incorporate the requirement.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 43
G19. PENALTIES FOR TAMPERING
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly
renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this
permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation,
or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of
a person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under this
condition, punishment shall be a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or
imprisonment of not more than four (4) years, or both.
G20. REPORTING PLANNED CHANGES
The Permittee must, as soon as possible, give notice to Ecology of planned physical
alterations, modifications or additions to the permitted construction activity. The Permittee
should be aware that, depending on the nature and size of the changes to the original permit,
a new public notice and other permit process requirements may be required. Changes in
activities that require reporting to Ecology include those that will result in:
A. The permitted facility being determined to be a new source pursuant to 40 CFR
122.29(b).
B. A significant change in the nature or an increase in quantity of pollutants discharged,
including but not limited to: for sites 5 acres or larger, a 20% or greater increase in
acreage disturbed by construction activity.
C. A change in or addition of surface water(s) receiving stormwater or non-stormwater
from the construction activity.
D. A change in the construction plans and/or activity that affects the Permittee’s monitoring
requirements in Special Condition S4.
Following such notice, permit coverage may be modified, or revoked and reissued pursuant
to 40 CFR 122.62(a) to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. Until such
modification is effective, any new or increased discharge in excess of permit limits or not
specifically authorized by this permit constitutes a violation.
G21. REPORTING OTHER INFORMATION
Where the Permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit
application, or submitted incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to
Ecology, it must promptly submit such facts or information.
G22. REPORTING ANTICIPATED NON-COMPLIANCE
The Permittee must give advance notice to Ecology by submission of a new application or
supplement thereto at least forty-five (45) days prior to commencement of such discharges,
of any facility expansions, production increases, or other planned changes, such as process
modifications, in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with
permit limits or conditions. Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 44
unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, must be scheduled
during non-critical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by Ecology.
G23. REQUESTS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THE PERMIT
Any discharger authorized by this permit may request to be excluded from coverage under
the general permit by applying for an individual permit. The discharger must submit to the
Director an application as described in WAC 173-220-040 or WAC 173-216-070,
whichever is applicable, with reasons supporting the request. These reasons will fully
document how an individual permit will apply to the applicant in a way that the general
permit cannot. Ecology may make specific requests for information to support the request.
The Director will either issue an individual permit or deny the request with a statement
explaining the reason for the denial. When an individual permit is issued to a discharger
otherwise subject to the construction stormwater general permit, the applicability of the
construction stormwater general permit to that Permittee is automatically terminated on the
effective date of the individual permit.
G24. APPEALS
A. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to the appropriate class of
dischargers, are subject to appeal by any person within 30 days of issuance of this
general permit, in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW, and Chapter 173-226 WAC.
B. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to an individual
discharger, are appealable in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW within 30 days of
the effective date of coverage of that discharger. Consideration of an appeal of general
permit coverage of an individual discharger is limited to the general permit’s
applicability or nonapplicability to that individual discharger.
C. The appeal of general permit coverage of an individual discharger does not affect any
other dischargers covered under this general permit. If the terms and conditions of this
general permit are found to be inapplicable to any individual discharger(s), the matter
shall be remanded to Ecology for consideration of issuance of an individual permit or
permits.
G25. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit, or
application of any provision of this permit to any circumstance, is held invalid, the
application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this permit shall
not be affected thereby.
G26. BYPASS PROHIBITED
A. Bypass Procedures
Bypass, which is the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a
treatment facility, is prohibited for stormwater events below the design criteria for
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 45
stormwater management. Ecology may take enforcement action against a Permittee for
bypass unless one of the following circumstances (1, 2, 3 or 4) is applicable.
1. Bypass of stormwater is consistent with the design criteria and part of an approved
management practice in the applicable stormwater management manual.
2. Bypass for essential maintenance without the potential to cause violation of permit
limits or conditions.
Bypass is authorized if it is for essential maintenance and does not have the
potential to cause violations of limitations or other conditions of this permit, or
adversely impact public health.
3. Bypass of stormwater is unavoidable, unanticipated, and results in noncompliance
of this permit.
This bypass is permitted only if:
a. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property
damage. “Severe property damage” means substantial physical damage to
property, damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become
inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can
reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.
b. There are no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime (but not if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to
prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime
or preventative maintenance), or transport of untreated wastes to another
treatment facility.
c. Ecology is properly notified of the bypass as required in Special Condition S5.F
of this permit.
4. A planned action that would cause bypass of stormwater and has the potential to
result in noncompliance of this permit during a storm event.
The Permittee must notify Ecology at least thirty (30) days before the planned date
of bypass. The notice must contain:
a. A description of the bypass and its cause.
b. An analysis of all known alternatives which would eliminate, reduce, or
mitigate the need for bypassing.
c. A cost-effectiveness analysis of alternatives including comparative resource
damage assessment.
d. The minimum and maximum duration of bypass under each alternative.
e. A recommendation as to the preferred alternative for conducting the bypass.
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 46
f. The projected date of bypass initiation.
g. A statement of compliance with SEPA.
h. A request for modification of water quality standards as provided for in WAC
173-201A-110, if an exceedance of any water quality standard is anticipated.
i. Steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the
bypass.
5. For probable construction bypasses, the need to bypass is to be identified as early
in the planning process as possible. The analysis required above must be
considered during preparation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and must be included to the extent practical. In cases where the probable
need to bypass is determined early, continued analysis is necessary up to and
including the construction period in an effort to minimize or eliminate the bypass.
Ecology will consider the following before issuing an administrative order for this
type bypass:
a. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related
activities essential to meet the requirements of this permit.
b. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance
during normal periods of equipment down time, or transport of untreated wastes
to another treatment facility.
c. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public
and the environment.
After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass
and any other relevant factors, Ecology will approve, conditionally approve, or
deny the request. The public must be notified and given an opportunity to
comment on bypass incidents of significant duration, to the extent feasible.
Approval of a request to bypass will be by administrative order issued by Ecology
under RCW 90.48.120.
B. Duty to Mitigate
The Permittee is required to take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any
discharge or sludge use or disposal in violation of this permit that has a reasonable
likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment.

under separate contract or by separate owners (e.g., a development where lots are sold to separate
builders); 2) a development plan that may be phased over multiple years, but is still under a
consistent plan for long-term development; 3) projects in a contiguous area that may be unrelated
but still under the same contract, such as construction of a building extension and a new parking
lot at the same facility; and 4) linear projects such as roads, pipelines, or utilities. If the project is
part of a common plan of development or sale, the disturbed area of the entire plan must be used
in determining permit requirements.
Composite Sample means a mixture of grab samples collected at the same sampling point at
different times, formed either by continuous sampling or by mixing discrete samples. May be
"time-composite" (collected at constant time intervals) or "flow-proportional" (collected either as

increasing the volume of each aliquot as the flow increases while maintaining a constant time
interval between the aliquots.
Concrete Wastewater means any water used in the production, pouring and/or clean-up of
concrete or concrete products, and any water used to cut, grind, wash, or otherwise modify
concrete or concrete products. Examples include water used for or resulting from concrete
truck/mixer/pumper/tool/chute rinsing or washing, concrete saw cutting and surfacing (sawing,
coring, grinding, roughening, hydro-demolition, bridge and road surfacing). When stormwater
comingles with concrete wastewater, the resulting water is considered concrete wastewater and
must be managed to prevent discharge to waters of the State, including ground water.
Construction Activity means land disturbing operations including clearing, grading or
excavation which disturbs the surface of the land. Such activities may include road construction,
construction of residential houses, office buildings, or industrial buildings, site preparation, soil
compaction, movement and stockpiling of topsoils, and demolition activity.

Pollutant means dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, filter backwash, sewage,
garbage, domestic sewage sludge (biosolids), munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials,
radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and
industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste. This term does not include sewage from vessels
within the meaning of section 312 of the CWA, nor does it include dredged or fill material
discharged in accordance with a permit issued under section 404 of the CWA.
Pollution means contamination or other alteration of the physical, chemical, or biological
properties of waters of the State; including change in temperature, taste, color, turbidity, or odor
of the waters; or such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive or other substance into
any waters of the State as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful,
detrimental or injurious to the public health, safety or welfare; or to domestic, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate beneficial uses; or to livestock, wild
animals, birds, fish or other aquatic life.
Process Wastewater means any water which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into
direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate
product, finished product, byproduct, or waste product. If stormwater commingles with process
wastewater, the commingled water is considered process wastewater.
Receiving Water means the waterbody at the point of discharge. If the discharge is to a storm
sewer system, either surface or subsurface, the receiving water is the waterbody to which the
storm system discharges. Systems designed primarily for other purposes such as for ground
water drainage, redirecting stream natural flows, or for conveyance of irrigation water/return
flows that coincidentally convey stormwater are considered the receiving water.

Representative means a stormwater or wastewater sample which represents the flow and
characteristics of the discharge. Representative samples may be a grab sample, a time-
proportionate composite sample, or a flow proportionate sample. Ecology’s Construction
Stormwater Monitoring Manual provides guidance on representative sampling.
Responsible Corporate Officer for the purpose of signatory authority means: (i) a president,
secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business
function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decision-making functions for the
corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities,
provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation
of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital
investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to
assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the
manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather
complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to
sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate
procedures (40 CFR 122.22).
Sanitary Sewer means a sewer which is designed to convey domestic wastewater.
Sediment means the fragmented material that originates from the weathering and erosion of
rocks or unconsolidated deposits, and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by water.
Sedimentation means the depositing or formation of sediment.
Sensitive Area means a waterbody, wetland, stream, aquifer recharge area, or channel migration
zone.
SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) means the Washington State Law, RCW 43.21C.020,
intended to prevent or eliminate damage to the environment.
Significant Amount means an amount of a pollutant in a discharge that is amenable to available
and reasonable methods of prevention or treatment; or an amount of a pollutant that has a
reasonable potential to cause a violation of surface or ground water quality or sediment
management standards.
Significant Concrete Work means greater than 1000 cubic yards poured concrete or recycled
concrete used over the life of a project.
Significant Contributor of Pollutants means a facility determined by Ecology to be a
contributor of a significant amount(s) of a pollutant(s) to waters of the State of Washington.
Site means the land or water area where any "facility or activity" is physically located or
conducted.
Source Control BMPs means physical, structural or mechanical devices or facilities that are
intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. A few examples of source control
Construction Stormwater General Permit
Page 53
BMPs are erosion control practices, maintenance of stormwater facilities, constructing roofs over
storage and working areas, and directing wash water and similar discharges to the sanitary sewer
or a dead end sump.
Stabilization means the application of appropriate BMPs to prevent the erosion of soils, such as,
temporary and permanent seeding, vegetative covers, mulching and matting, plastic covering and
sodding. See also the definition of Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs.
Storm Drain means any drain which drains directly into a storm sewer system, usually found
along roadways or in parking lots.
Storm Sewer System means a means a conveyance, or system of conveyances (including roads
with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, manmade
channels, or storm drains designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater. This does not
include systems which are part of a combined sewer or Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTW) as defined at 40 CFR 122.2.
Stormwater means that portion of precipitation that does not naturally percolate into the ground
or evaporate, but flows via overland flow, interflow, pipes, and other features of a stormwater
drainage system into a defined surface waterbody, or a constructed infiltration facility.
Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) or Manual means the technical Manual
published by Ecology for use by local governments that contain descriptions of and design
criteria for BMPs to prevent, control, or treat pollutants in stormwater.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) means a documented plan to implement
measures to identify, prevent, and control the contamination of point source discharges of
stormwater.
Surface Waters of the State includes lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, inland waters, salt waters,
and all other surface waters and water courses within the jurisdiction of the State of Washington.
Temporary Stabilization means the exposed ground surface has been covered with appropriate
materials to provide temporary stabilization of the surface from water or wind erosion. Materials
include, but are not limited to, mulch, riprap, erosion control mats or blankets and temporary
cover crops. Seeding alone is not considered stabilization. Temporary stabilization is not a
substitute for the more permanent “final stabilization.”
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) means a calculation of the maximum amount of a
pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet state water quality standards. Percentages
of the total maximum daily load are allocated to the various pollutant sources. A TMDL is the
sum of the allowable loads of a single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources.
The TMDL calculations must include a "margin of safety" to ensure that the waterbody can be
protected in case there are unforeseen events or unknown sources of the pollutant. The
calculation must also account for seasonable variation in water quality.

Transfer of Coverage (TOC) means a request for transfer of coverage under this general permit
as specified by General Condition G9 of this permit.
Treatment BMPs means BMPs that are intended to remove pollutants from stormwater. A few
examples of treatment BMPs are detention ponds, oil/water separators, biofiltration, and
constructed wetlands.
Transparency means a measurement of water clarity in centimeters (cm), using a 60 cm
transparency tube. The transparency tube is used to estimate the relative clarity or transparency
of water by noting the depth at which a black and white Secchi disc becomes visible when water
is released from a value in the bottom of the tube. A transparency tube is sometimes referred to
as a “turbidity tube.”
Turbidity means the clarity of water expressed as nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) and
measured with a calibrated turbidimeter.
Uncontaminated means free from any contaminant. See definition of “contaminant” and WAC
173-340-200.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) means the portion of a receiving water’s loading capacity that
is allocated to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution. WLAs constitute a type of
water quality based effluent limitation (40 CFR 130.2[h]).
Water-only Based Shaft Drilling is a shaft drilling process that uses water only and no
additives are involved in the drilling of shafts for construction of building, road, or bridge
foundations.
Water quality means the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water, usually
with respect to its suitability for a particular purpose.
Waters of the State includes those waters as defined as "waters of the United States" in 40 CFR
Subpart 122.2 within the geographic boundaries of Washington State and "waters of the State" as
defined in Chapter 90.48 RCW, which include lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, inland waters,
underground waters, salt waters, and all other surface waters and water courses within the
jurisdiction of the state of Washington.
Well means a bored, drilled or driven shaft, or dug hole whose depth is greater than the largest
surface dimension. (See Injection well.)
Wheel Wash Wastewater means any water used in, or resulting from the operation of, a tire
bath or wheel wash (BMP C106: Wheel Wash), or other structure or practice that uses water to
physically remove mud and debris from vehicles leaving a construction site and prevent track-
out onto roads. When stormwater comingles with wheel wash wastewater, the resulting water is
considered wheel wash wastewater and must be managed according to Special Condition S9.D.9.

The Former Scott Paper Mill site encompasses several parcels of property in Anacortes, Washington. The main site,
the former location of the mill operations, is located to the east of "Q" Avenue between 14th and 201h Streets. It is
referred to in documents as Parcel !(Skagit County Parcel P32910), Parcel 2 (Skagit County Parcels Pl 18625, P32948,
Pl 18626, Pl 18627,P32964), and Parcel 3 (Skagit County Parcel P32960), and MJB North (refer to Attachment I for
Skagit County Parcel locations). Parcel 1, 2, and 3 comprise the northern portion of the property owned mostly by the
Port of Anacortes and Northwest Educational Service District. Parcels 1, 2, and 3 are approximately 15 acres in area.
Parcel 3 is in the northeast portion of the site and is currently occupied by a 1 Yi acre waterfront park. Parcel 2
contains a building housing Shared Health Care Systems business and the Northwest Educational Service District
offices, and a health club. A portion of Parcel 2 and all of Parcel 1 to the west are open grassland. About four of the
15 acres of Parcels 1, 2, and 3 are paved or covered with buildings. The southern half of the main Former Scott Paper
Mill site, known as MJB North (approximately 20 acres), is mostly open, unpaved land. The property is largely fenced
an4 appears to be used only for some storage of boat hulls and other large items. One large former assembly building
exists on the property and appears to be currently vacant.
Parcels 1, 2, and 3 are currently zoned for Commercial Marine Services. This type of zoning allows for a variety of
commercial and retail enterprises and the possibility for multifamily housing, motels, and hotels with a special use
permit. The southern portion of the property, MJB North, is zoned industrial. The site is bordered to the north by Cap
Sante Marina and Figalgo Bay, to the east by Fidalgo Bay, to the south by largely vacant industrial property and
Anacortes Marina and to the west by a variety of commercial properties. The portion of the site bordering Fidalgo Bay
has a bank approximately 6-10 feet high and in places there is significant erosion of this bank into the bay. A mix of
single family and multi family housing is located within a one mile radius from the property with a population from
the 2000 census of 4920. The site and the surrounding area are served by City of Anacortes for water and sewer.
Storm water from the site drains to city storm sewers and to Fidalgo Bay. Fidalgo Bay is a commercial and private
crabbing area. Eel grass beds exist in the bay sporadically near the site and heavily approximately 1 Yz to 2 miles to
the southeast of the site. A small marine wetland on the National Wetlands Inventory is located at the northern extent
of the bay approximately 2000 feet to the north of the site. Refer to Attachment I for a map of the current site features
and parcel lines.
Included in the main site, the former mill location, are the former locations of a shoreline outfall pipe from the mill and
a later diffuser pipe that extended into Guemes Channel from the mill. Both were located near the terminus of Q
A venue and the Channel. This property is Skagit County Parcel P32903 and is a narrow tideland parcel owned by the
Port of Anacortes and occupied by Dakota Creek Industries for their boat building and repair business. The Port of
Anacortes reports that the diffuser pipe is no longer present at this location.
Site History
The history of the mill site is well documented in the 1999 report by ThermoRetec Consulting Corporation titled
"Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study for Soils at Parcel 2 of the Former Scott Paper Company Mill Site". I
will briefly summarize the information from that report. The property was first recorded being developed in 1890 and .
used for a lumber mill. It appears that wood waste and other refuse were used to fill in the tidelands around the mill.
The mill operated under various owners until 1914 when it was closed during World War I. In 1918 the mill was re-
opened and produced finished lumber and boxes until it was destroyed by a fire in 1924. After re-opening in 1925, the
mill is reported to have doubled the infill of tidelands on the property. Part of the mill property was leased to Puget
Sound Pulp Company for the construction of a pulp mill. Twenty to forty tons of pulp per day were produced using an
acid sulfite process. Power for the lumber and pulp mills was mainly supplied by the burning of hog fuel until the mill
converted to petroleum use in the 1950s. Small bleach tanks in the digester room are noted in maps from 1925.
Wastes, including spent sulfite liquor, were discharged directly to Fidalgo Bay.
The pulp mill was purchased by Scott Paper in 1940 and the mill was known as Coos Bay Pulp Company. By 1950
three oil storage houses existed on the property as well as a tank farm. In 1951 the mill was converted to produce pulp
for tissue paper. Pulp was sent to Everett for final processing into paper. In 1952 the mill began using an ammonia
based sulfite process to digest the wood. The lumber mill buildings were demolished by Scott and pulp bleaching
facilities were installed in 1955. The bleaching facility doubled the amount of waste water discharged from the site.
Records show that in 1952 a wooden pipeline was installed down Q Avenue to divert most of the mill effluent from
Fidalgo Bay to Guemes Channel. A 20,000 gallon unlined surge pond was built at this time to hold effluent until tides
ebbed in Guemes Channel. The first permit for waste water discharge was issued in 1955 by the Washington Pollution
Control Commission (WPCC). A knots and tailings pond was constructed in 1959 to settle solids out of wastes from
four areas of the mill including post bleaching processes. In 1964 due to requirements from the WPCC all effluents
except for saltwater used for cooling the acid plant were diverted to the Guemes Channel outfall. All wastes were
converted back to Fidalgo Bay ifthe pumps at the surge pond were shut down or failed. In 1970 this pipeline was
reconstructed to discharge through a diffuser 680 feet beyond the outer harbor line into the Guemes Channel currents.
Scott records reportedly showed the average discharge volume per day for the Guemes Channel diffuser was 6.89
million gallons around 1970. Significant fill was still occurring on the property into the 1970s from barking wastes
produced by the mill. In 1975 the EPA filed suit against Scott for violations to the Clean Water Act. In 1978 Scott
closed the Anacortes mill because profits from the mill could not justify the expense of the necessary mill upgrades
required for pollution control. A copy of the locations of the former mill site features is reproduced for this report
from ThermoRetec (Attachment II).
The mill property was divided and purchased in part by the Port of Anacortes and in part by the Snelson Anvil
Company in 1978 and 1979. Pulp tailings were removed from the mill site (from the pond area and a tailings pile) by
Scott under the purchase agreement with the Port. Tailings were taken to Dahlstedt property in Skagit County for
commercial use. Remaining mill buildings were demolished by the Port in the 1980s on northeastern quadrant of the
former mill property. Anvil Corporation is reported to have replaced much of the wood waste fill on MJB North
property in 1982 with granular fill in layers. The Cap Sante Marina, owned by the Port, was expanded with a dredging
operation in 1983 and sediments containing wood waste and total volatile organic compounds exceeding open water
disposal criteria were placed on part of the former tailings pond. The mill site remained largely vacant until the Port
constructed a log yard on the northern portion of the site in the early 1990s. At that time bark piles were removed from
the north western property and replaced with soil fill taken from a project at the Anacortes WWTP. The dredged
sediments were re-graded in the tailings pond and geotextile fabric and pit run were added to the surface of the pond.
By 1994 the log yard had closed and the Port was looking at a variety of other uses for the property. They obtained
clean sands from the 1994 dredging of the Swinomish Channel to use as fill and preload on a large central portion of
Parcels 1 and 2. In 1995 the northeastern 1 Yi acres of the site (Parcel 3) were developed by the Port into a park. As a
part of this developpient the soils in this area were covered with 6 to 12 inches of topsoil. A building and public float
were erected for the park. In 1998 Sun Systems (now Shared Health Care Systems) purchased Parcel 2 for the
development of an office complex. Some site remediation occurred as part of this purchase agreement. This will be
discussed below. In 2001 a building housing a health club was constructed to the west of this on Parcel 2.
Site Evaluations
MJB Properties site was placed on the Confirmed and Suspected Contaminated Sites list in 1995 based on sediment
sample data provided by DNR in 1992 and historical use of the site as a pulp mill and other industrial uses to the
south. This listing included the MJB North property of the former mill site as well as other property to the south of the
mill site. In 1997 the remainder of the former Scott Paper Mill site was added by Ecology to the Confirmed and
Suspected Contaminated Sites list. Property owners have been under on-going discussions and negotiations with the
Department of Ecology since these site listing concerning contamination issues and remediation options on the
property. Kimberly-Clark, the current parent company of Scott, has been brought in to discussions as a potentially
liable party. .
A number of investigations have occurred on and around the former mill site since the 1980s. This assessment largely
relies upon a summary of sample data contained in the recent report "Comprehensive Evaluation of Existing Data-
Former Scott Paper Mill Site -Anacortes, Washington" prepared by Anchor Environmental, L.L.C. for Kimberly-
Clark Corporation, Port of Anacortes, and MJB Properties, Inc in March of 2002. Substances of potential concern on
the property due to past use include diesel fuel and heavy oils, metals including lead, mercury, and arsenic, persistent
chlorinated compc;mnds such as PCBs and dioxin, combustion by-products such as P AHs, and semi-volatile organic
compounds. The full Anchor report should be consulted by anyone seeking a complete data summary. Highlights
only will be presented here in Attachment III. Concentration ranges or maximums are only presented for the samples
exceeding a Sediment Quality Standard or a MTCA Method A or B clean up standard. Most sampling has occurred
around the former mill structures on Parcel 2, Parcel 3 in the park area, and on the northwest quadrant ofMJB North.
Th~ Anchor report provides maps showing locations of samples and results for substances of highest concern.
Hydrogen sulfide and methane releases related to the decomposition of the wood waste fill and pulp wastes at the mill
site and in the sediments could be significant at the site, particularly during excavation of soils or sediments. There
has been no documented monitoring for methane at the site. Very limited monitoring for hydrogen sulfide by
Northwest Air Pollution Authority in 1993 near Seafarer's Park (Parcel 3) showed levels of lppm. In 1995 Hart
Crowser tested air for hydrogen sulfide from 6 monitoring wells located in the area of the park on Parcel 3 and one in
the sediment off Parcel 3. The sediment well had a level of7 ppm hydrogen sulfide and one upland well had a level of
2 ppm. Seasonal variation is likely in the levels found as past samples of these wells taken in winter yielded no
detectable hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide can be naturally present in tidelands from the decay of organic matter
such as seaweed but it is reasonable to assume at this site, given the amount of wood waste fill on the property, that
some of the hydrogen sulfide released in the sediments and released into wells in the uplands would be due to wood
and pulp waste decay from the former mill.
Excavation of soils heavily contaminated with petroleum occurred on Parcel 2 in two areas in 1999 as a part of the
development of the site under a Cleanup Action Plan reviewed and approved by Ecology. Approximately 3500 tons
of soils were removed from the vicinity of the former tank farm and taken off site for treatment. Sample results listed
above do not include these excavated areas. At this same time a 200 foot section of sheet piling wall was installed to
a depth of 26 feet below ground surface along the shoreline of Parcel 2 to prohibit further transport of contamination to
surface water and sediments. No further remediation activities have been reported on the Former Scott Paper Mill site
since this time. Current negotiations are underway with Ecology with the intent of developing a Cleanup Action Plan
or Plans for the remainder of the site.
Four investigations from 1985 to 2001 have evaluated sediment quality near the former mill outfall and diffuser pipe
locations to Guemes Channel. These investigations were not targeted at assessing contamination from the mill effluent
but rather focused on use of the property as a ship building and repair yard for Dakota Creek Industries. An additional
potential source of contamination near the former mill outfall is the City of Anacortes sanitary sewer outfall. Landau
Associates summarized findings from the four investigations in the 2003 report "Sediment Data Assessment Dakota
Creek Industries Shipyard Facility, Anacortes, Washington." Most sample locations were within an area referred to as
the Dakota Creek Industries Basin, a working harbor that is directly to the east of the former outfalls for Scott Paper
Mill. Arsenic, copper, mercury, zinc, some semi-volatile compounds including P AHs, and tributyltin were detected in
some samples at levels that exceeded Sediment Quality Standards. Dioxins were not analyzed for in any samples.
PCBs were analyzed for in some samples but not detected above Sediment Quality Standards. Sediment dredging
occurred in the area of the former mill diffuser in the late 1980s as a part of the installation ofa boat lift for Dakota
Creek Industries but no activities directed toward remediation of contaminated sediments have occurred.
Special Considerations
Hydrogen sulfide is included in the scoring for the air route. Hydrogen sulfide can have natural sources in tidelands,
however, th.is is a conservative scoring of relative risk at the site and there is a high likelihood, given the amount of
wood waste present at the site, that hydrogen sulfide is being released related to this decaying wood waste from the
mill. A release to air could not be scored for this route because there is no adequate documentation of background
levels of hydrogen sulfide on similar nearby beach areas that would not be impacted by wood waste from the mill or
other source.
PCBs were not able to be included in the scoring for the Air/Human Health route due to a lack of appropriate toxicity
values.
For each route there were more than six substances of concern. Substances included in scoring were chosen by the
number, significance of exceedences, and presence in uplands as well as sediments. In each route, the toxicity scored
at the maximum values and would not have been affected by including all substances of concern. Sediment data from
near the mill outfall to Guemes Channel indicate a number of substances of concern including some not found at the
main mill site on Fidalgo Bay. These substances are noted in Attachment II and on Worksheet 2 but were not included
in the scoring because the toxicity values using substances at the main mill site were already the maximum value and
the substances may be from the shipyard activities or the city sewer outfall and unrelated to mill activities.

Existing Site Conditions Summary:
(Additionally, provide information on previous permits, if any, like Grade and Fill, Clear and Grade, topography,
vegetation, drainage, Critical Areas adjacent to the site and how it may affect this project if soils are disturbed,
Soils Type (Included in Soils Analysis Report), Erosion Problem Areas, Construction Phasing\Sequence )
The existing site conditions are being established during Phases 1 and 2 of the MJB North Roadway Clearing
and Grading Permit. Phase 1 is constructing utility infrastructure and roadway alignments including landscape
strips and sidewalk for Barcott Way, 17th Street, and 20th Street. These areas were designed to meet
stormwater requirements in the 2021 Clearing and Grading Permit. Refer to the 2021 storm report for
discussion of those requirements. They are not included in the discussion of this report.
The parcel areas included in the preliminary plat are currently vegetated and graded to generally slope toward
the north and the shoreline. There are interceptor swales along the western side of Barcott Way and along the
north and south sides of 17th Street to intercept stormwater from the western portion of the site and City of
Anacortes (City) right-of-way (ROW) that drains towards the roadway. This runoff will be collected by drainage
structures in Barcott Way. Future developments on each lot will create their own stormwater collection and
conveyance systems while also maintaining the performance of these stormwater BMPs beyond that particular
lot line.
There are four existing stormwater outfalls to Fidalgo Bay. The storm main in Barcott Way discharges through
the northernmost 36-inch outfall. The site is partially within the FEMA 100-year floodplain.
The last known permit for the project site was the 2021 grading permit.
Version Date: October 7, 2019 Previous Version Date: February 20, 2019 Page 3
Developed Conditions Summary:
(Additionally, to be shown on the site plan. Identify cut and fill areas, proposed slopes of all hard
surfaces , proposed contours)
Future phases of development are expected within the project site. The date and type of development is
unknown at this time but could include commercial and multifamily uses consistent with the Marine Mixed-Use
zoning.
For purposes of determining the future development can meet the minimum stormwater requirements, each
parcel is assumed to be 90% impervious, the maximum allowed per Anacortes Municipal Code 19.42.030. The
remaining 10% will be pervious green space.
Stormwater runoff will be collected and discharged to one of the existing outfalls to Fidalgo Bay. Each parcel
will either connect directly to one of the existing outfalls, connect to a storm line within the proposed Shoreline
Trail, or connect to the storm main in Barcott Way.

Note: The level of detail needed for each step depends upon the project size. Provide a narrative
description of each step.
1-3.1.1 Step 1 - Site Analysis: Collect and Analyze Information on Existing Conditions
Site analysis shall be submitted as part of the Existing Conditions Summary above. Part of the
information in this step should be used to help prepare the Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. Purpose of the Site Analysis is to provide for a Low Impact Development site design
that is intended to compliment the predeveloped conditions of the site.

1-3.1.2 Step 2 - Prepare Preliminary Development Layout
Based upon the analysis of existing site conditions, locate the buildings, roads, parking lots,
landscaping features, on-site stormwater management BMP’s, and preliminary location of stormwater
treatment and retention/detention facilities for the proposed development.
Preliminary design plans have not been drawn for the parcels in the preliminary plat. The intent of this
report is to demonstrate any future development is capable of meeting stormwater requirements. Refer
to the Preliminary Plat plans prepared by PSE for the proposed lot boundaries. Refer to the 2021
Clearing and Grading Permit plans for the location of roads and stormwater facilities in the ROW.
1-3.1.3 Step 3 - Perform Off-site Analysis (at Local Agency’s Option): Use additional Sheets, if
necessary,
Ecology recommends that local governments require an off-site analysis for projects that add 5,000 SF
or more of new hard surfaces, or convert ¾ acres of vegetation to lawn or landscape areas, or convert
2.5 acres of forested area to pasture.
Off-site analysis extends to ¼ mile downstream of the project site.
Task 1: Define and map the study area
The study area consists of the Phase 1 roadway location, on-site area that sheet flows into
Fidalgo Bay, and off-site area that sheet flows on to the site. See Figure 1 below.
Version Date: October 7, 2019 Previous Version Date: February 20, 2019 Page 8
Figure 1 Study Area
Task 2: Review all available information on the study area
Available information for this study area was reviewed, including GIS maps, FEMA maps, USDA
Web Soil Survey map, 303(d) list, and the project survey. Potential flow control issues were not found.
Task 3: Field inspect the study area
The study area was observed during a site visit on December 10, 2019. The weather was cold,
cloudy, with light showers.
Task 4: Describe the drainage system, and its existing and predicted problems.
The existing drainage system consists of 4 outfalls to Fidalgo Bay. Catch basins within the
roadways built since 2020, water quality StormFilters, and pipe that collect and convey stormwater
through Barcott Way to the north outfalll. The existing drainage system also consists of pipe and
drainage structures that convey stormwater collected in the ROW both east and west of Q Avenue
through the project site to an outfall. No evidence of current drainage problems were observed. The
contractor will need to protect existing storm pipe that will remain in order to prevent future drainage
problems.
Version Date: October 7, 2019 Previous Version Date: February 20, 2019 Page 9
1-3.1.4 - Determine Applicable Minimum Requirements
Establish project size thresholds for the application of Minimum Requirements to new development and
redevelopment projects. Figures 2.4.1 (Attached) and 2.4.2 (Attached) provide the same thresholds in a
flow chart format. Based on the preliminary layout, determine whether Minimum Requirements #1
through #5 apply to the project; or, whether Minimum Requirements #1 through #9 apply.
Please note, that Minimum Requirement #1 through #5 may trigger additional Minimum Requirements,
such as Flow Control.
The project falls under Minimum Requirements #1-9 for new and replaced hard surfaces and converted
vegetated areas.
1-3.1.5 Step 5 - Prepare a Permanent Stormwater Control Plan
(Refer to this section of the Ecology Manual for requirements.)
Additional Stormwater Site Plans will be prepared as each lot develops, demonstrating compliance with
Minimum Requirements #1 through #9.
1-3.1.6 Step 6 - Prepare a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (MR#2 – 13 Elements)
Refer to Chapter II-3 – Planning for a detailed description of each element. See also attached Tables
4.1.1 (Source Control BMP’s by SWPPP Element) and Table 4.2.1 (Runoff Conveyance and Treatment

Development Department, as well as under Stormwater on the Engineering Division of Public Work’s page.
Owner Name: MJB Properties, Inc.
Site Address: Q Avenue, Anacortes, WA
Prepared By: KPFF Consulting Engineers
The Stormwater checklist or building permit determined that:
The 13 elements must be addressed
for construction activity adding under
2,000 sq. ft. of hard surface area.
These elements must be addressed
for construction activity adding 2,000
sq. ft. or more of hard surface area.
This means that an attached narrative
and site plan are required with this
document.
Under each element, provide the BMP’s that will be applicable to your project. Use the attached Tables
provided.
ELEMENT 1: Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
Before beginning land disturbing activities, including clearing and grading, clearly mark all clearing
limits, sensitive areas and their buffers, and trees that are to be preserved within the construction area.
Retain the duff layer, native top soil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed state to the maximum
degree practical.
BMP C103 High Visibility Fence may be provided to contain the site.

__________________________________________________________________________________
ELEMENT 2: Establish Construction Access
Limit construction vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.
Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other equivalent BMPs, to minimize
tracking onto roads.
Locate wheel wash or tire baths on site, if the stabilized construction entrance is not effective in
preventing tracking sediment onto roads.
If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end of each day, or more
frequently as necessary (ex: wet weather). Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or
pick up and transport the sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area.
Conduct street washing only after sediment is removed in accordance with the above bullet.

ELEMENT 3: Control Flow Rates
Protect properties and waterways downstream of development sites from erosion and the associated
discharge of turbid waters due to increases in the velocity and peak volumetric flow rate of stormwater
runoff from the project site.
Where necessary to comply with the bullet above, construct stormwater retention or detention facilities
as one of the first steps in grading. Assure that detention facilities function properly before constructing
site improvement (e.g. impervious surfaces).
If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction, protect these facilities from
siltation during the construction phase.

________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
ELEMENT 4: Install Sediment Controls
Design, install, and maintain effective erosion controls and sediment controls to minimize the discharge
of pollutants.
Construct sediment control BMPs (sediment ponds, traps, filters, etc.) as one of the first steps in
grading. These BMPs shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place.
Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design, installation and maintenance of erosion and
sediment controls must address factors such as the amount, frequency, intensity and duration of
precipitation, the nature of resulting stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics, including the range of
soil particle sizes expected to be present on the site.
Direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas through a sediment pond or other appropriate sediment
removal BMP, before the runoff leaves a construction site or before discharge to an infiltration facility.
Runoff from fully stabilized areas may be discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must meet
the flow control performance standard in Element #3, bullet #1.
Locate BMPs intended to trap sediment on-site in a manner to avoid interference with the movement of
juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages.
Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas to
increase sediment removal, and maximize stormwater infiltration.
Where feasible, design outlet structures that withdraw impounded stormwater from the surface to avoid
discharging sediment that is still suspended lower in the water column.

ELEMENT 5: Stabilize Soils
Stabilize exposed and unworked soils by application of effective BMPs that prevent erosion. Applicable
BMPs include, but are not limited to: temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, mulching, plastic
covering, erosion control fabrics and matting, soil application of polyacrylamide (PAM), the early
application of gravel base early on areas to be paved, and dust control.
Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion.
Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize
erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion.
Soils must not remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set forth below to prevent
erosion.
o During the dry season (May 1 – Sept 30): 7 days
o During the wet season (Oct 1 – Apr 30): 2 days
Stabilize soils at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on the weather
forecast.
Stabilize soil stockpiles from erosion, protect with sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be
located away from storm drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels.
Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity.
Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes.
Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil.

ELEMENT 6: Protect Slopes
Design and construct cut-and-fill slopes in a manner to minimize erosion. Applicable practices include,
but are not limited to, reducing continuous length of slope with terracing and diversions, reducing slope
steepness, and roughening slope surfaces (Ex: track walking).
Divert off-site stormwater (run-on) or ground water away from slopes and disturbed areas with
interceptor dikes, pipes, and/or swales. Off-site stormwater should be managed separately from
stormwater generated on the site.
At the top of slopes, collect drainage in pipe slope drains or protected channels to prevent erosion.
o *Temporary pipe slope drains must handle the peak volumetric flow rate calculated using a 10-
minute time step from a Type 1A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the developed condition.
Alternatively, the 10-year, 1-hour flow rate predicted/indicated by an approved continuous runoff
model, increased by a factor of 1.6, may be used. The hydrologic analysis must use the existing
land cover condition for predicting flow rates from tributary areas outside the project limits. For
tributary areas on the project site, the analysis must use the temporary or permanent project
land cover condition, whichever will produce the highest flow rates. If using the Western
Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) to predict flows, bare soil areas should be modeled as
“landscaped” area.
o Where 15-minute time steps are available in an approved continuous runoff model, they may be
used directly without a correction factor.

Place excavated material on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with safety and space
considerations.
Place check dams at regular intervals within constructed channels that are cut down a slope.
Consider soil types and its potential for erosion.
Stabilize soils on slopes, as specified in Element 5.
BMP combinations are the most effective method of protecting slopes with disturbed soils. Ex: Use both
mulching and straw erosion control blankets.
Site is relatively flat and does not have any steep slopes.

ELEMENT 7: Protect Drain Inlets
Protect all storm drain inlets made operable during construction so that stormwater runoff does not
enter the conveyance system without first being filtered or treated to remove sediment.
Clean or remove and replace inlet protection devices when sediment has filled one-third of the available
storage (unless a different standard is specified by the product manufacturer).
Where possible, protect all existing storm drain inlets so that stormwater runoff does not enter the
conveyance system without first being filtered or treated to remove sediment.
Keep all approach roads clean. Do not allow sediment and street wash water to enter storm drains
without prior and adequate treatment unless treatment is provided before the storm drain discharges to
waters of the State.
Inlets should be inspected weekly at a minimum and daily during storm events.

ELEMENT 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets
Design, construct, and stabilize all on-site conveyance channels to prevent erosion from the following
expected peak flows:
o *Channels must handle same peak volumetric flow rate as temporary pipe slope drains listed in
Element 6, above.
Provide stabilization, including armoring material, adequate to prevent erosion of outlets, adjacent
streambanks, slopes, and downstream reaches at the outlets of all conveyance systems.
The best method for stabilizing channels is to completely line the channel with a blanket product first,
then add check dams as necessary to function as an anchor and to slow the flow of water.

ELEMENT 9: Control Pollutants
Design, install, implement, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the
discharge of pollutants.
Handle and dispose of all pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris that occur on-site
in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater.
Provide cover, containment, and protection from vandalism for all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum
products, and other materials that have the potential to pose a threat to human health or the
environment. On-site fueling tanks must include secondary containment. Secondary containment
means placing tanks or containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of the
volume contained in the largest tank within the containment structure. Double-walled tanks do not
require additional secondary containment.
Conduct maintenance, fueling, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles using spill prevention and
control measures. Clean contaminated surfaces immediately following any spill incident.
Discharge wheel wash or tire bath wastewater to a separate on-site treatment system that prevents
discharge to surface water, such as closed-loop recirculation or upland land application, or to the
sanitary sewer, with local sewer district approval. Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater should not
include wastewater from concrete washout areas.
Apply fertilizers and pesticides in a manner and at application rates that will not result in loss of
chemical to stormwater runoff. Follow manufacturers’ label requirements for application rates and
procedures.
Use BMPs to prevent contamination of stormwater runoff by pH-modifying sources. The sources for this
contamination include, but are not limited to: bulk cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, new concrete
washing and curing waters, waste streams generated from concrete grinding and sawing, exposed
aggregate processes, dewatering concrete vaults, concrete pumping, and mixer washout waters. Adjust
the pH of stormwater if necessary to prevent violations of the water quality standards.
Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in designated concrete washout areas
only. Do not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or
streams. Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated concrete washout areas. Concrete
spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. Do not use upland land
applications for discharging wastewater from concrete washout areas.
Obtain written approval from Ecology and provide to the City before using chemical treatment other
than CO2 or dry ice to adjust pH.
Woody debris may be chopped and spread on site.
Conduct oil changes, hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel
tank drain down and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or spillage of pollutants
to the ground or into stormwater runoff using spill prevention measures, such as drip pans.
Clean contaminated surfaces immediately following any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs
may be performed on-site using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the vehicle.
All paints and solvents will be stored under cover out of the weather elements
Contractor to have a spill prevention kit at all times on-site

stormwater runoff at the site, into a controlled conveyance system before discharge to a sediment trap
or sediment pond.

Discharge clean, non-turbid de-watering water, such as well-point ground water, to systems tributary to,
or directly into surface waters of the State, as specified in Element 8, provided the de-watering flow
does not cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters or interfere with the operation of the system. Do
not route clean dewatering water through stormwater sediment ponds. Note that “surface waters of the
State” may exist on a construction site as well as off site; for example, a creek running through a site.
Handle highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water separately from stormwater.
Other treatment or disposal options may include:
1. Infiltration
2. Transport off-site in a vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a manner that
does not pollute state waters.
3. Ecology-approved on-site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment technologies.
4. Sanitary or combined sewer discharge with local sewer district approval, if there is no other
option.
5. Use of a sedimentation bag with outfall to a ditch or swale for small volumes of localized
dewatering.
Construction equipment operation, clamshell digging, concrete tremie pour, or work inside a cofferdam
can create highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water.
Discharging sediment-laden (muddy) water into waters of the State likely constitutes a violation of water
quality standards for turbidity. The easiest way to avoid discharging muddy water is through infiltration
and preserving vegetation.

ELEMENT 11: Maintain BMPs
Maintain and repair all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function in accordance with BMP specifications.
Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs within 30 days after achieving final site
stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. Some temporary erosion and sediment
control BMPs are bio-degradable and designed to remain in place following construction such as
compost socks.
Provide protection to all BMPs installed for the permanent control of stormwater from sediment and
compaction. All BMPs that are to remain in place following completion of construction shall be
examined and placed in full operating conditions. If sediment enters the BMPs during construction, it
shall be removed and the facility shall be returned to the conditions specified in the construction
documents.
Remove or stabilize trapped sediment on site. Permanently stabilize disturbed soil resulting from
removal of BMPs or vegetation.
Contractor will be responsible for maintaining all BMPs
BMPs will be inspected daily, as necessary per the 2014 DOE SWMMWW Appendix II-A.
Weekly erosion and sedimentation reports are to be sent to the City

ELEMENT 12: Manage the Project – Projects subject to Minimum Requirements 1-9 must have a Certified
Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) for site inspections. Projects subject to Minimum Requirements
1-5 do not require the inspector to be certified. By the initiation of construction, the SWPPP must identify the
CESCL or inspector, who shall be present on-site or on-call at all times.
Phase development projects to the maximum degree practicable and take into account seasonal work
limits to prevent soil erosion and prevent transporting sediment from the site during construction.
Inspection and monitoring – Inspect, maintain, and repair all BMPs as needed to assure continued
performance of their intended function.
Maintain, update, and implement the SWPPP.
Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted using an approved
site development plan (e.g., subdivision approval).
From Oct 1 through Apr 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities is permitted only if
shown that the site operator will prevent silt-laden runoff from leaving the site through a combination of
the following:
1. Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type, and proximity to
receiving waters.
2. Limit activities and the extent of disturbed areas.
3. Proposed erosion and sediment control measures.
Weather conditions can influence the seasonal limitation on site disturbance. The City of Anacortes has
the authority to take enforcement action per AMC 19.76 Stormwater.
The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing and grading limitations:
1. Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs;
2. Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the soil or
result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil
3. Activities where there is 100% infiltration of surface water runoff within the site in approved and
installed erosion and sediment control facilities.
Contractor will manage the site.

· Minimum Requirement #4 – Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained and discharges from the project shall occur at the natural
location, to maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the project site
must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down gradient
properties. All outfalls require energy dissipation.
The objective is to preserve and utilize drainage systems to the fullest extent because of the multiple
stormwater benefits these systems provide; and to prevent erosion at the downstream of the discharge
location.
Refer to the reference manual for supplemental guidelines and additional information under this
section.
Will this project disturb the Natural Drainage System or Outfall of the project Site? Yes\No. If
yes, refer to section I.2.5.4 for Supplemental Guidelines for additional information.

Existing Conveyance System
There are four existing outfalls to Fidalgo Bay on-site, described below. There is a 36-inch concrete storm pipe in the
northeast corner of the project with a connection to the storm main in Barcott Way. The 18-inch concrete storm pipe
approximately 260 feet south of the 36-inch pipe was capped east of Barcott Way in Phase 1. The 8-inch ductile iron
pipe approximately 350 feet south of the 18-inch pipe was capped east of Barcott Way in Phase 1. The 12-inch
corrugated metal pipe (CMP) was capped east of Barcott Way in Phase 1.
The Phase 1 roadway stormwater runoff is collected via catch basins with Contech Stormfilter cartridges before
being conveyed to the 36-inch stormwater outfall in a 12 to 30-inch mainline pipe. The mainline pipe slopes range
from 0.35% to 1.1%.
The existing pipe network was designed to have capacity for the 100-year storm event from the entire area bounded
by Q/R Avenue to the west, 22nd Street to the south, Barcott Way to the east, and the property line to the north.
Also included in the calculations was stormwater runoff from an area of existing development west of the site that is
intercepted by the Phase 1 storm system. Roadways and off-site runon were counted as fully impervious.
Undeveloped parcels between the roads were counted as 90% impervious because future development will be
required to meet impervious coverage requirements in the Anacortes Municipal Code.
Runoff flow rates were determined using MGSFlood modeling software. Calculations for pipe conveyance capacity
were performed using manning’s equation. The 30-inch pipe at the downstream end of Barcott Way has a capacity
of 22.5 CFS (cubic feet per second). The area’s fully impervious 100-year runoff flow rate is 19.0 CFS. See the
spreadsheet and coordinating drainage basin exhibit for complete calculations and page 33 of the June 2021
Stormwater Site Report in Appendix 5 for further discussion.
Proposed Conveyance System
Future development east of Barcott Way will connect to the existing storm drain outfalls to Fidalgo Bay, with the
option to evaluate connecting some parcels to the Barcott Way storm main. Parcels also have the option to run new
storm lines under the shoreline tract to connect to an existing outfall with capacity. Calculations were performed to
show that the existing outfalls have adequate capacity for 90% impervious build out of the parcels between Barcott
Way and Fidalgo Bay. This area’s 100-year runoff flow rate is 8.8 CFS.
Individual parcels can connect to their nearest existing outfall until the outfall’s capacity is reached, connect to the
Barcott Way storm main until capacity is reached, or connect to a storm line under the shoreline tract which
discharges to an existing outfall with capacity. The existing 12-inch outfall has a capacity of 1.9 CFS; the 8-inch
outfall has 0.7 CFS; the 18-inch has 10.5 CFS; the 36-inch has 66.7 CFS. Together, all four existing outfalls have a
combined capacity of 79.8 CFS, which is greater than the entire drainage basin’s flow (27.7 CFS); therefore, the
drainage system has sufficient capacity for future build out conditions.
See Appendix 5 for Overall Drainage Basin Exhibit, MGSFlood report, and pipe capacity output for calculations.

TAB 6 – (MINIMUM REQUIREMENT #6 – RUNOFF TREATMENT)
Refer to 1.2.5.6 and provide the required information for this Minimum Requirement.
Per Volume I, Section I-2.5.6 of the 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, the
project will create greater than 5,000 square feet of pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS), and thus
will be required to provide water quality runoff treatment.
The site is subject to Basic Treatment per Volume I Appendix I-C, for Basic Treatment Receiving Waters.
Enhanced Basic Treatment and Phosporous Control are not required. Oil Control is not required because the
site is not a “high-use” roadway.
For purposes of demonstrating compliance with Water Quality Treatment requirements, the worst case
scenario was assumed for calculations—the entire maximum allowed impervious surface of the largest parcel
was assumed to be PGIS. The largest parcel is 80,669 SF, so treatment was sized for 72,602 SF of PGIS.
The future development can explore multiple options for treatment including, but not limited to, non-infiltrating
bioretention and proprietary treatment systems such as the StormFilter. Contech Engineered Solutions’
StormFilter with ZPG Media has achieved General Use Level Designation (GULD) and is therefore an
appropriate emerging technology to provide Basic Treatment. Included in Appendix 4 is the Washington State
Department of Ecology’s GULD decision for this product.
The water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate as calculated by MGS Flood by MGS
Engineering Consultants, Inc, which is an approved continuous runoff model. The largest parcel has a 15-
minute peak flow rate of 0.235 cfs. This would require six 18-inch StormFilter cartridges in a 6-foot by 8-foot
vault or 72-inch manhole which could fit within the parcel; therefore, water quality treatment could be provided
via StormFilters.
The water quality design 91% exceedance volume as calculated by MGSFlood is 5,178 cubic feet. This
equates to a non-infiltrating bioretention planter with 12” ponding depth and 5,178 square foot bottom area.
The available site area outside of the impervious area is 8,067 square feet; therefore, water quality treatment
could be provided via non-infiltrating bioretention.
See Appendix 4 for Runoff Treatment calculations.

Subject: Geotechnical Report
Site Grading and Earthwork
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
Dear Mr. Blais,
This report outlined the results and recommendations of our geotechnical study to support the
design and construction of the proposed roadways and general earthwork for the site. The findings
outlined in the current report is based on the results of our cone penetration tests (CPTs) completed
at the site. We will update our report after completion of supplemental test borings and laboratory
testing. The test borings and laboratory test results will be used to refine our settlement estimate
but other findings are anticipated to remain as discussed in this report.
Based on the results of our CPTs, the site is underlain by a sequence of existing granular fill, soft
to medium stiff silt/clay with sand mixtures to 15 to 40 feet deep, in turn underlain by medium
dense to dense sand and silty sand. The proposed roadway embankments as currently designed are
appropriate. The underlying soils are also subject to liquefaction induced settlements during a
strong seismic event consistent with the 2018 IBC.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project. We are available to meet to discuss
our findings at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Siew L. Tan, P.E.
Principal Geotechnical Engineer

GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
SITE GRADING AND EARTHWORK
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, WASHINGTON
1.0 GENERAL
This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering study to support the proposed
grading activities at the MJB North Shoreline property in Anacortes, Washington. Our service
scope to date included conducting a site reconnaissance, reviewing readily available geologic data,
advancing ten cone penetration tests at the site, and developing the conclusions and
recommendations presented in this report.
2.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is in Anacortes, Washington. It borders Q Avenue to the west, Fidalgo Bay to the
east, 17th Avenue to the north, and 22nd Avenue to the South. The approximate location of the
site is shown in the attached Figure 1. The site has an upland area of about 28 acres. The ground
surface descends gently from Q Avenue to the shore of Fidalgo Bay. The topographic relief is
about 10 feet between Q Avenue and the shoreline. The site is mostly vacant, with a few storage
buildings located along the west side of the site.
We understand that the property will be developed in phases and the final development plan is
currently being developed. When completed, as currently envisaged, the development may include
residential units, hotels, retail, restaurants, an event center, and parking lots. A new north-south
trending roadway (T Avenue) will be constructed in the middle of the site, connecting 17th Avenue
on the south and 22nd Avenue on the north. The proposed T Avenue will be about 1,600 feet long.
The existing 17th Avenue, between Q Avenue and T Avenue, will also be regraded. A preliminary
conceptual site layout is shown in Plate 1 on the following page.
We understand that fill will be placed to raise the site grade for the proposed development. Along
the proposed T Avenue, as much as about 10 feet of fill will be placed above the existing grade.
Along 17th Avenue, the new fill will generally be less than about 4 feet above the existing grade.

3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
PanGEO completed ten Cone Penetration Tests (CPT-1 to CPT-10) on February 1 and 8, 2021.
The CPTs were performed by ConeTec Inc. at the approximate locations indicated on the attached
Figure 2. The CPT probes were advanced to depths of about 56 to 97 feet below the existing
ground surface when refusal was met. ConeTec used an instrumented cone approximately 1½
inches in diameter, which is pushed into the soil at a steady rate to measure tip resistance (Qt), side
friction (Fs), pore water pressure (u), soil behavior type, and correlated SPT blow counts. The
readings on the soil are taken at about 2-inch vertical intervals, and provide a nearly continuous
readout of soil stratigraphy, strength, and other parameters.
Summary CPT logs are included in Appendix A of this report.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 GEOLOGY
Our interpretation of the geologic conditions at the site vicinity is based on a review of the
Geologic Map of the Anacortes South and La Conner 7.5-minute Quadrangles (Dragovich, at al,
2000), and the Geologic map of the Bellingham 1:100,000 Quadrangle (Lapen, 2000).
In summary, a portion of downtown Anacortes east of Commercial Avenue, including the project
site, was raised to current elevations by placing fill over Nearshore Deposits (Qn). Nearshore
deposits are described as interbedded fine sand, silt, and clay with some peat and organic deposits.
The composition of fill can be highly variable and are generally relatively loose in nature.
West of the areas that were previously filled, the surficial geology is mapped as Glaciomarine Drift
(Qgdm) from the Everson interstade of the Fraser glaciation. The Glaciomarine Drift is
characterized as soft silt and clay with sand lenses. South of the project site near the shoreline is
mapped as Glaciomarine Outwash (Qgom) from the Everson interstade of the Fraser Glaciation.
The Glaciomarine Outwash is characterized as sand and sandy gravel with some silt and clay
interbeds.
The Glaciomarine Drift and Outwash Deposits are likely underlain by older till, which has been
overridden by glacial ice and is consequently very dense/hard.

4.2 SOIL
The results from our CPTs indicate that the subsurface conditions at the site are relatively
consistent. The following summarizes the subsurface conditions encountered in our CPTs:
Unit 1: Fill – At each CPT location, we encountered existing surficial fill that ranged from 3
to 8 feet thick. The composition of the fill material varied across the project area, generally
consisting of gravel, sand, and silty mixtures. The relative density of the fill varied from loose
to very dense.
Unit 2: Glaciomarine Drift – Below the surficial fill, we encountered a layer of soft to
medium stiff, silt and clay mixtures with sand lenses. Based on the variable and mixed soil
behavior type and the relatively soft consistency, we interpret this soil unit as Glaciomarine
Drift mapped near the site. The thickness of this soil unit varies across the site, and its bottom
ranges from 17 to 40 feet below the existing ground surface. This soil unit is moderately
compressible and could experience long term settlement when loads are applied.
Unit 3: Glaciomarine Outwash (Qgom) – Below the Glaciomarine Drift we encountered a
layer of medium dense to very dense sand and sand mixtures with silt and clay. This soil unit
appeared to have occasional thick layers of uniform consistency. Based on the dense and sandy
consistency, we interpret this soil unit as the nearby mapped Glaciomarine Outwash Deposits.
This soil unit extended to the bottom of each CPT before reaching practical refusal between
56 and 97 feet deep.
We also generated two subsurface profiles to depict the subsurface conditions encountered in our
CPTs. The subsurface profiles are included in Figures 3A and 3B.
4.3 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater table was generally estimated around 5 to 6 feet below the existing grade using
dissipation tests and interpolation from the dynamic pore pressure. Plots of the recorded dissipation
tests can be seen in Appendix A. It should be noted that groundwater elevations may vary
depending on the season, local subsurface conditions, tide elevations, and other factors.
Groundwater levels are normally highest during the winter and early spring.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SEISMIC SITE CLASS
We anticipate the seismic design of the buildings will be based on the 2018 International Building
Code (IBC). The IBC seismic design parameters are in part based on the site soil conditions and
site classifications defined in Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16. According to Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16,
the site soil should be classified as Site Class F because of its liquefaction potential during a strong
seismic event (see discussions regarding liquefaction in Section 5.2 of this report). Review of
Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7-16 indicates that for Site Class F a site-specific ground response analysis
shall be performed unless the exception to Section 20.3.1 is applicable.
Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7 states that “For structures having fundamental periods of vibration
equal to or less than 0.5s, site response analysis is not required to determine spectral accelerations
for liquefiable soils. Rather, a site class is permitted to be determined in accordance with Section
20.3 and the corresponding values of Fa and Fv determined from Tables 11.4-1 and 11.4-2.” In
other words, for structures with a period of vibration equal to or less than 0.5 second and situated
on liquefiable soils, the ASCE 7-16 exception allows the values of Fa and Fv for liquefiable soils
be taken equal to the values of site class determined without regard to soil liquefaction. Generally,
buildings that are less than 5 stories in height typically meet this exception but should be verified
by the structural engineer.
Based on the results of our subsurface explorations, the average correlated N60 value was greater
than 15 in all 10 CPTs. As, such, if the vibration period for a proposed building is less than 0.5
second, Site Class D may be assumed for determining site coefficients without the needs for a site-
specific ground response analysis.
However, if the fundamental period of vibration for the proposed buildings exceeds 0.5 seconds,
Site Class F should be used. PanGEO can perform the site-specific ground response analysis when
requested.
5.2 SOIL LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction occurs when saturated predominately sand and silt soils are subjected to cyclic
loading. This causes the porewater pressure to increase in the soil, thereby reducing the inter-
granular stresses. As the inter-granular stresses are reduced, the shearing resistance of the soil
decreases. If pore pressures develop to the point where the effective stresses acting between the
grains become zero, the soil particles will be in suspension and behave like a viscous fluid.
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 6
Typically, loose, saturated granular soils have the greatest potential for liquefaction, while more
dense soil deposits with higher silt or clay contents have a lesser potential. Soil liquefaction may
cause the temporary loss/reduction of foundation capacity, lateral movement of sloping ground,
and ground settlement.
We evaluate the potential for soil liquefaction and calculated the magnitude of liquefaction-induced
settlement based on the results of our CPTs. Our analysis uses the methods proposed by Idriss and
Boulanger (2014) and Cetin et al. (2009) and was performed based on an earthquake magnitude of
7.5 and a PGA of 0.48g, which are consistent with the 2018 IBC.
In summary, our results indicate that liquefaction could extend to depths greater than 70-plus feet.
However, liquefaction-induced settlement deeper than 60 feet should not manifest itself to the surface
(Cetin et al., 2009). We estimate that surficial settlement due to soil liquefaction should be no more
than 4 to 6 inches. This magnitude of settlement would not impact the grading as currently designed.
A more detailed analysis will be performed during the final design of the proposed buildings.
Based on the relatively level site grade and the 100-foot setback for building development along the
shoreline, it is our opinion that the overall risk for lateral spreading is low and should not impact the
proposed development.
5.3 CONCEPTUAL BUILDING FOUNDATION APPROACH
Selection of building foundation types depend on several factors, including the site soil conditions,
building types, design columns loads, and desired level of performance. PanGEO will provide design-
level recommendations during the final design phase of the proposed buildings.
For general planning purposes, for wood-framed structures less than three floors in height, we
anticipate that the use of conventional footings, a mat foundation, or a structural slab with thickened
edges are likely adequate. For taller buildings, the use of ground improvement methods maybe
necessary to support these taller buildings on shallow foundations. Alternatively, the use of piles may
also be considered.
5.4 SITE STRIPPING AND CLEARING
Prior to placement of new fill to raise the site grade, general site clearing should include removal
of existing structures, debris, refuse, and other deleterious material. Existing topsoil, where not
combined with refuse or other deleterious material, may be stripped and stockpiled for use in
landscape areas following final grading of site improvements. In no case should the stripped or
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 7
grubbed materials be used as structural fill or mixed with material to be used as structural fill. The
stripped materials may be “wasted” on site in non-structural landscaping areas or they should be
exported from the site. Existing utility pipes to be abandoned should be filled or removed so they
do not provide a conduit for water flow and potential loss of soils adjacent to the pipes.
5.5 SELECTION OF FILL MATERIALS
Import materials to raise the site grade and to construct the roadway should generally consist of
Gravel Borrow (Section 9-03.14(1), WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2020), or Select Borrow
(Section 9-03.14(2), WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2020). The gradational requirements for
Gravel Borrow and Select Borrow are summarized in Table 1, below:

2. Select Borrow gradation requirements per Section 9-03.14(1) of WSDOT Standard Specification, 2020.
The fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of its maximum dry density, determined in
accordance with Modified Proctor Tests (ASTM D1557).
The use of recycled materials such as recycled crushed concrete and recycled asphalt may also be
considered, provided that these materials will be allowed by the permitting agencies.
Recycled crushed asphalt, if used, it should be blended with soil aggregate and the blended
products should contain no more than 20% of recycled asphalt.

5.6 ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION AND FILL SLOPE STABILITY
Based on our review of the grading plans prepared by KPFF, dated 8/8/2020, as much as 10 feet
of fill will be placed to raise the grade along the centerline of the proposed T Avenue (A-Line),
and the embankment slopes will be graded to 4H:1V (horizontal:vertical). The weight of the new
fill is expected to result in settlement of the soft to medium stiff silt and clay underlying the site
(see additional discussions in Section 5.7, blow).
The settlement is time-dependent and is expected to occur over a period of time. Utilities located
within the footprint of the roadway embankment should be installed after the consolidation
settlement is complete.
We performed a quantitative slope stability analysis of the proposed roadway embankment in the
static, seismic (pseudo-static), and post-liquefaction conditions. We performed our slope stability
analysis using the program SLIDE2 (Slide) by Rocscience Inc. Slide is a two-dimensional limit
equilibrium slope stability analysis program. Our analysis used the Janbu Corrected Method to
determine potential failure. The following discusses our model and analysis:
Soil Parameters: A summary of the input soil parameters is provided in Table 2 below. Input
parameters were selected based on general estimates provided in the WSDOT Geotechnical Design
Manual, CPT data, and our judgement and experience with similar soils. The undrained residual
strength (post-liquefaction) of the Glaciomarine Drift deposit was determined using the
methodology described in Section 6-2.2 in the WSDOT Geotechnical Design Manual (2019). The
Glaciomarine Drift was divided into three 10-foot-thick layers to more accurately reflect the
increased residual strength with depth.

Groundwater: The groundwater table was modeled at the contact between the existing fill and
Glaciomarine Drift.
Seismic Parameters: Seismic design parameters for the site were developed in conformance with
the 2018 IBC, which specifies a design earthquake having a 2 percent probability of occurrence in
50 years (return interval of 2,475 years). A spectral response acceleration was obtained from the
USGS Earthquake Hazards Program Interpolated Probabilistic Ground Motion website (2008 data)
for the project latitude and longitude, based on Site Class D for stiff soil. We obtained a peak
ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.48g. One-half of the PGA, or 0.24g, as used in our slope stability
analysis, consistent with the local practice.
Results: the results of our slope stability analysis are summarized in the attached Figures 4, 5, and
6, for the static, pseudo-static (seismic), and post-liquefaction. In summary, the calculated
minimum global factors of safety for the static, seismic, and post-liquefaction conditions were
about 2.78, 1.34, and 1.37, respectively. Based on the results from our analysis, the global stability
of the proposed roadway embankment meets the minimum factor of safety requirement of 1.5 for
the static condition, 1.1 for the seismic condition, and 1.0 for the post-liquefaction condition.
5.7 SETTLEMENT ESTIMATE AND MONITORING
Under the proposed new fill, the soft to medium stiff silt and clay (Soil unit 2) is expected to settle.
Based on the general consistency of the soils from the CPTs, we estimate that the settlement from
the proposed fill placement should be no more than about 3 to 4 inches. The estimated settlement
should occur within about 3 months after placement of the fill. However, we will refine our
estimate of the settlement in our upcoming report once our test borings and laboratory test program
and engineering analysis are completed.
Construction of the proposed improvements such as underground utilities, buildings, pavements
should be commenced only after the consolidation settlement of the soft to medium stiff silt and
clay has stabilized. A settlement monitoring program should be implemented to confirm that
settlement is occurring as expected during preload period and to verify the end of consolidation
settlement such that the site can be released for construction.
Monitoring of settlements should be performed using settlement plates, placed at a grid spacing of
generally no greater than about 100 feet apart, in areas where the site grade will be raised by more
than 4 feet. A schematic detail of settlement plate is shown in the attached Figure 7. Other
considerations for settlement monitoring are outlined below:

• The settlement plates should be installed on firm ground prior to placing any fill. Locations
of settlement plates should be clearly marked and readily visible (red flagged) to equipment
operators.
• The contractor should maintain at least a 5-foot horizontal clearance with heavy equipment.
Fill within 5 feet of the settlement plates should be compacted with small equipment to
project specifications. In the event of damage to a settlement plate or measurement rod,
the contractor should immediately notify the geotechnical engineer and should restore the
settlement plate to working order.
• A licensed land surveyor should be retained to monitor the settlement plates. Initial
readings should be taken on top of the measurement rod and at the adjacent ground level
prior to fill placement. For ease in handling, the measurement rod and casing can be
installed in 5-foot sections. As fill progresses, couplings should be used to install
additional lengths. Continuity should be maintained when adding extensions, by reading
the top of the measurement rod, then immediately adding the new section and reading the
top of the added rod. Both readings should be recorded.
• After initial placement, readings should be taken twice weekly during fill placement, once
weekly after completion of fill placement for at least 4 weeks. Depending on the project
schedule and results of the monitoring, the monitoring frequency may be adjusted by the
geotechnical engineer accordingly.
• The measurement rod readings should be to the nearest 0.01 foot (or the nearest 0.005 foot
if possible); fill elevations should be measured to the nearest 0.1 foot. All elevations should
be referenced to a benchmark located on stable ground at least 100 feet from the preload
areas.
Readings should be submitted in a timely fashion to the geotechnical engineer, who should
analyze the settlement data, to provide a basis for determining when the desired effect of
preloading has been achieved, and the consolidation settlement has been completed.

5.8 UTILITIES
Utilities should be installed after completion of the pre-load, to mitigate the risk of post-
construction settlement.
5.8.1 Trench Excavations
We anticipate that utilities will be installed after placement of the new fill. As such, utility trench
excavations are anticipated to extend through a sequence proposed fill, the existing fill, and soft to
medium stiff silt and clay.
Temporary excavations greater than 4 feet deep should be properly sloped or shored. All
temporary excavations should be performed in accordance with Part N of WAC (Washington
Administrative Code) 296-155. The contractor is responsible for maintaining safe excavation
slopes and/or shoring. For planning purposes, the temporary excavations may be sloped as steep
as 1H:1V for excavations located above the groundwater table but should be re-evaluated in the
field during construction based on actual observed soil conditions. Temporary excavation located
below the groundwater table may be sloped as steep as 1.5H:1V, provided the excavation is
adequately dewatered. During wet weather, the cut slopes may need to be flattened to reduce
potential erosion.
Conventional trench shoring systems such as trench boxes or steel sheets with hydraulic bracing
may be used to limit the excavation. For design purposes, the contractor may utilize an equivalent
fluid weight of 35 pcf to represent the lateral earth pressures on the shoring. This pressure should
be increased to 45 pcf for shoring with a maximum 1H:1V backslopes above the shoring.
Surcharges from soil stockpiles and/or equipment traffic located within a horizontal distance equal
to the depth of the excavation should also be applied to the shoring design.
5.8.2 Dewatering
Groundwater is estimated between 6 to 10 feet below the existing grade at the time of our
exploration. If excavation extends below the water table, control of groundwater may be necessary.
The rate of groundwater discharge will largely depend on the groundwater level at the time of
excavation, the depth of excavation, the actual soil conditions (sand vs. silt/clay), and the
sequencing of the excavation. However, it is our opinion that the dewatering can likely be
accomplished with sumps and pumps.
If groundwater is encountered during excavation, the bottom of the excavation should be sloped
to one or more shallow sump pits. The collected water can then be pumped from these pits to a
Preliminary Geotechnical Report – Site Grading
MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 12
positive and permanent discharge. Depending on the magnitude of such seepage, it may also be
necessary to interconnect the sump pits by a system of connector trenches.
5.8.3 Pipe Bedding
Pipe bedding material, placement, compaction, and shaping should be in accordance with the
project specifications and the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations. As a minimum, the pipe
bedding material should meet the requirements for Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding in
Section 9-03.12(3) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications (2020). Bedding material should be
placed in accordance with the recommendations provided in section 7-08.3(1)C for Pipe Zone
Bedding in the WSDOT’s Standard Specifications (2020) to ensure proper pipe support and
protection. The excavated trench bottom should be firm and unyielding or be compacted to such
a condition prior to placement of bedding material.
5.8.4 Trench Backfill
In general, the trench backfill may consist of the existing granular fill that is present at the site, or
the import soils that will be used to raise the site grade. The native soils (Soil Unit 2) below the
existing fill contain significant amounts of fines and in our opinion not appropriate for use as trench
backfill.
The placement of trench backfill should be in accordance with Section 7-08.3(3) of WSDOT
Standard Specifications (2020). The first zone of backfill extending from the bedding material to
at least 6 inches above the crown of the pipe should consist of select free-draining granular material
to reduce the compaction effort required and resulting stresses on the pipe. The granular material
should be well-graded, less than 1½ inch in maximum size, and less than 10 percent passing the
No. 200 sieve, such as Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone Bedding in section 9-03.12(3) of WSDOT’s
Standard Specifications (2020) or CSBC.
During placement of the initial lifts, the trench backfill should not be bulldozed into the trench or
dropped directly on the pipe. Furthermore, heavy vibratory equipment should not be permitted to
operate directly over the pipe until a minimum of 2 feet of backfill has been placed above the
crown. The trench backfill material should be placed in 8- to 12-inch, loose lifts and compacted to
at least 95% of the Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557).

5.9 GENERAL EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
5.9.1 Fill Compaction
In general, except in landscaping areas, all fills should be compacted to 95 percent of its maximum
dry density, as determined using ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor). The procedure to achieve
proper density of a compacted fill depends on the size and type of compacting equipment, soil
moisture content, the number of passes, thickness of the layer being compacted, and certain soil
properties. In areas where the use of heavy equipment may be restricted, smaller equipment can
be used, but the soil must be placed in thin enough layers to achieve the required relative
compaction.
5.9.2 Wet Weather Earthwork
In our opinion, because the site soils generally contain a considerable amount of fines and are
considered moisture sensitive, earthwork construction performed during the drier summer months
likely will be more economical. If the earthwork will be performed during wet weather, the on-
site soils could become saturated and lead to difficult working conditions. In addition, saturated
soils could become difficult or impossible to adequately compact. Soft and unstable soil conditions
due to inclement weather, disturbance, and poor drainage will require removal and replacement
with granular structural fill. To reduce the risks of soil disturbance due to inclement weather
conditions, we recommended that, as a minimum, the following recommendations be incorporated
into the contract specifications.
• Earthwork should be performed in small areas to minimize exposure to wet weather.
Excavation or the removal of unsuitable soil should be followed promptly by the
placement and compaction of clean structural fill.
• The size and type of construction equipment used may have to be limited to prevent soil
disturbance.
• During wet weather conditions, the allowable fines content of Gravel Borrow should be
reduced to no more than 5 percent by weight based on the portion passing ¾-inch sieve.
The fines should be non-plastic.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be graded to promote run-off of
surface water and to prevent the ponding of water.

MJB North Shoreline, Anacortes, Washington
February 12, 2021
21-038 MJB North Shoreline - Earthwork Report SLT.docx PanGEO, Inc. 14
• The ground surface within the construction area should be sealed by a smooth drum
vibratory roller, or equivalent, and under no circumstances should soil be left
uncompacted and exposed to moisture.
• Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences should be strategically located to control
surface water and erosion.

NOTES:
1.Locations of settlement plates shall be clearly marked and readily visible
to equipment operators.
2.Contractor shall maintain at least 5 feet of horizontal clearance for heavy
equipment from the base of settlement plates. Fill within 5 feet of
settlement plates shall be compacted using hand operated equipment.
3.In the event of damage to settlement plates, contractor shall immediately
notify Engineer and shall be responsible for restoring the settlement
plates to working order.
4.Install plates on firm ground or on sand pads if needed for stability. Take
initial readings on top of the rod and at adjacent ground level prior to
placement of fill.
5.For ease in handling, rod and casing are usually installed in short
sections. As fill progresses, couplings are used to installed additional
lengths. Continuity is maintained by reading the top of the measurement
rod, then immediately adding the new section and reading the top of the
added rod. Both readings should be recorded.
6.Record the elevations of the top of the measurement rod at pre-
determined time intervals, but no less than once a week. Each time, note
the elevation of the adjacent ground surface.
7.Read the measurement rods to the nearest 0.01 ft, or 0.005 ft if possible.
Note the fill elevation to the nearest 0.1 ft.
8.The elevations should be referenced to a temporary benchmark located
on stable ground at least 100 feet from the zone of influence of the
embankment and surcharge (preload fill).

Introduction and Existing Conditions
This report presents the results of our Preliminary Infiltration Investigation for the MJB Properties
Anacortes Development. The purpose of our investigation was to characterize subsurface conditions and
provide preliminary design infiltration rates for the proposed development. The project site is composed
of numerous parcels east of Q Avenue roughly between 17th Street and 22nd Street in Anacortes,
Washington (See Figure 1, Site Map) totaling approximately 29 acres and including:
Parcel B: P32963
Parcel C: P32965
Parcel D: P32966
Parcel E: P32967
Parcel F: P32968
Parcel G: P32969
Parcel H: P32970
Parcel I: P32971
P32913
P32915
P32916
P32929
P32941
P32943
P78000
The site is bordered on the south by the Anacortes Marina and 22nd Street, on the north by Seafarers
Memorial Park and various commercial buildings and paved parking, and on the east by Fidalgo Bay.
Most of the subject properties are minimally developed, although extensive shoreline backfilling and
dredging has been conducted over a majority of the area. The Northern Marine boat building company
operates out of an industrial building in the southwestern portion of the site, close to several other
storage and industrial buildings located along a spur of R Avenue. The northeastern portion of the site
was previously occupied by Scott Paper Mill, which has since been demolished. We understand that
former paper mill operations resulted in soil contamination, and that multiple soil remediation projects
have been conducted in the area. Assessment of soil contaminants and associated mitigations are
outside the scope of this infiltration investigation.
Proposed Construction
Based on a conceptual site plan provided by KPFF Consulting Engineers, the proposed construction
consists of various multi‐family residences, retail buildings, a hotel and event center, and restaurants
with associated paved access drives and parking areas. Potential stormwater management facilities may
include raingardens and detention ponds. Based on conversations with project civil engineer Kyle Carrick
of KPFF, we understand that captured runoff that cannot be infiltrated will ultimately be discharged to
Fidalgo Bay following appropriate water quality control.

Subsurface Exploration and Soil Testing
Subsurface conditions were investigated by excavating eight exploratory test pits on November 8, 2019
with a mini‐excavator and operator provided by the client. Test pits were advanced to depths of 7 to 8
FT below ground surface (BGS). Soils generally consisted of 2 to 6.5 FT of fill material overlying very stiff
to hard clay and clayey sand interpreted as native glaciomarine drift. The overlying fill material was
variously composed of crushed rock top course, construction rubble and debris, and a moderately
organic silt/clay that was presumed to be dredged material from historic backfilling at the shoreline.
More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered in our test pits are provided on
our Exploration Logs, Figures A‐1 and A‐2.
Geologic Conditions
Geologic mapping of the project area was obtained from the Geologic Map of the Bellingham 1:100,000
Quadrangle (Lapen, 2000). The surficial geology of the site is mapped as artificial fill (Qf), concurrent
with the surface layer of fill material identified in our test pit explorations. The upland area west of Q
Avenue is mapped as glaciomarine drift (Qgdme), described as moderately to unsorted diamicton
containing lenses and discontinuous beds of moderately to well‐sorted gravel, sand, silt and clay with
variable dropstone content. These soils were deposited 11,300 to 13,500 years ago from melting glacial
ice floating in seawater. The low‐energy depositional environment permitted fine particles to settle out
of suspension, contributing to clay and silt beds such as those observed during our test pit explorations.
Thus, the native soils encountered below the fill in our explorations closely concur with the unit of
glaciomarine drift that is mapped adjacent to the site.
Groundwater
Slight to moderate groundwater seeps were observed in five of the eight test pit explorations at depths
of approximately 2.75 to 3.25 FT BGS. The observed seepage was identified as lateral movement of
water atop stratigraphic contacts with finer‐grained, denser, lower‐permeability soil, and thus reflects a
“perched” water condition rather than a true regional groundwater aquifer at this depth. Nonetheless,
seasonal perched groundwater may affect infiltration facilities and will likely be encountered during
excavations at this site.
Groundwater levels are influenced by seasonal variations in precipitation, changes in runoff patterns
due to development and other factors. The groundwater levels recorded on our exploration logs are
representative of the time and location of each exploration, and may not be representative of
conditions at other times and locations.
Results and Discussion
Infiltration
The 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) provides Site
Suitability Criteria (SSC) for siting infiltration facilities. SSC‐6 indicates that uncontrolled fill materials are
unsuitable as infiltration media. Thus, infiltration facilities at this site will be required to bottom into
native soils.
The SWMMWW provides a methodology for estimating infiltration rates based on the grain‐size
distribution of the infiltration soils. This methodology assumes a relatively loose soil consistency and
does not account for stiff/dense, compact in‐situ soil conditions such as those observed in the native

glaciomarine drift at this site. Thus, the grain‐size distribution method would not be suitable for
estimating a design infiltration rate at this site.
Due to the relatively stiff consistency and fine‐grained particle size, it is our opinion that the native
glaciomarine drift is effectively impervious and not suitable for infiltration. The presence of shallow,
perched groundwater seeps reinforces this assessment. We recommend that stormwater runoff at this
site be properly detained, treated, and discharged to an applicable storm sewer system, Fidalgo Bay, or
another appropriate outfall as specified by the project civil engineer.
Stormwater Treatment
For BMPs that will use native soil to provide runoff treatment, SSC‐6 of the SWMMWW specifies a
minimum cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 5 meq/100 grams and minimum organic content of 1.0
percent. Three samples of the native glaciomarine drift were sent to Northwest Agricultural Consultants
for testing. Results are summarized in Table I below.
Table 1. CEC/OC test results.
Sample Organic Content Cation Exchange Capacity
(meq/100g)
TP-1 @ 4 FT 1.65% 17.8
TP-3 @ 5 FT 2.20% 21.0
TP-7 @ 2.5 FT 2.17% 23.7
Based on the test results and minimum requirements of SSC‐6, the native glaciomarine drift soils are
suitable for reuse as filtration media in stormwater treatment BMPs.
Limitations of This Report
This report was prepared for the specific conditions present at the subject property to meet the needs
of specific individuals. No one other than the landowner and their agents should apply this report for
any purposes other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the geologist or
geotechnical engineer that prepared this report. The findings and recommendations presented in this
report were reached based on site visits and subsurface exploration with visual assessment of site soils.
Conditions may change at the site due to human influences, floods, groundwater changes, or other
factors. This report may not be all that is required to carry out recommended actions. More detailed
design specifications may be needed for proper design of potential infiltration facilities or drainage
features.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. Please do not hesitate to contact us
with any questions or concerns.

2. Ecology approves StormFilter systems containing PhosphoSorb media for treatment at
the cartridge flow rate 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. Calculate the water quality design
flow rates 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 flow rate as calculated using
the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology Model or other Ecology-
approved continuous runoff model.
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 (SWMMEW) 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. The GULD designation has no expiration date but it may be amended or revoked by
Ecology and is subject to the conditions specified below.
Ecology’s Conditions of Use:
StormFilter systems containing PhosphoSorb media shall comply with these conditions:
1. Design, assemble, install, operate, and maintain StormFilter systems containing
PhosphoSorb media in accordance with applicable Contech Engineered Solutions
manuals, documents, and the Ecology Decision.
2. Use sediment loading capacity, in conjunction with the water quality design flow rate,
to determine the target maintenance interval.
3. Owners shall install StormFilter systems in such a manner that bypass flows exceeding
the water quality treatment rate or flows through the system will not re-suspend
captured sediments.
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 Product
Design Manual or the applicable Ecology Stormwater Manual. Design pre-treatment
using the performance criteria and pretreatment practices provided in the Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW), the Stormwater
Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW), or 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
Page | 3
sediment from the vault, and replacing spent cartridges with recharged
cartridges.
Indications of the need for maintenance include the 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 PhosphoSorb 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 SWMMWW, 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 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. Discharges from the StormFilter systems containing PhosphoSorb media shall not cause
or contribute to water quality standards violations in receiving waters.

PhosphoSorb® at a Specific Flow Rate of 1.67 gpm/ft2 Performance Evaluation. August
2012.
The Stormwater Management StormFilter® PhosphoSorb® at a Specific Flow Rate of
1.67 gpm/ft2, General Use Level Designation, Technical Evaluation Report. October
2015.
Applicant’s Use Level Request:
General use level designation as a basic (TSS) and phosphorus (total phosphorus)
treatment device in accordance with Table 2 of Ecology’s 2011 Technical Guidance
Manual for Evaluating Emerging Stormwater Treatment Technologies Technology
Assessment Protocol – Ecology (TAPE).
Applicant’s Performance Claims:
Based on results from laboratory and field-testing, the applicant claims:
The Stormwater Management StormFilter® with PhosphoSorb® media operating at 1.67
gpm/ft2 is able to remove 80% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) for influent
concentrations greater than 100 mg/L, is able to remove greater than 80% TSS for
influent concentrations greater than 200 mg/L, and achieve a 20 mg/L effluent for
influent concentrations less than 100 mg/L.
The StormFilter with PhosphoSorb media is able to remove 50% or greater total
phosphorus for influent concentrations between 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L.
Recommendations:
Ecology finds that:
CONTECH Engineered Solutions has shown Ecology, through laboratory and field
testing, that the Stormwater Management StormFilter® with PhosphoSorb® media is
capable of attaining Ecology’s Basic and Total Phosphorus treatment goals.
Findings of Fact:
Laboratory testing
A Phosphosorb StormFilter cartridge test unit, operating at 28 L/min (equivalent to 1.0
gpm/ sq. ft.), and subject to SSC with a silt loam texture (25% sand, 65% silt, and 10%
clay by mass) originating from SCS 106 provides a mean SSC removal efficiency of
88%;
A Phosphosorb StormFilter cartridge test unit, operating at 56 L/min (equivalent to 2.0
gpm/sq. ft.), and subject to SSC with a silt loam texture (25% sand, 65% silt, and 10%
clay by mass) originating from SCS 106 provides a mean turbidity reduction of 82%;
Page | 5
Laboratory testing of PhosphoSorb media in a Horizontal Flow Column (HFC; a 1/24th
scale of a full cartridge) resulted in 50 percent dissolved phosphorus removal for the first
1,000 bed volumes. Granular activated carbon (GAC) tested under the same conditions
resulted in 30 percent removal of dissolved phosphorus.
Field testing
Contech conducted monitoring of a StormFilter® with PhosphoSorb® media at a site
along Lolo Pass Road in Zigzag, Oregon between February 2012 and February 2015. The
manufacturer collected flow-weighted influent and effluent composite samples during 17
separate storm events. The system treated approximately 96 percent of the flows recorded
during the monitoring period. The applicant sized the system at 1.67 gpm/sq. ft.
o Influent TSS concentrations for qualifying sampled storm events ranged from 40
to 780 mg/L. For influent concentrations less than 100 mg/L (n=2) the effluent
concentration was less than 10 mg/L. For influent concentrations greater than 100
mg/L the bootstrap estimate of the lower 95 percent confidence limit (LCL95) of
the mean TSS reduction was 85%.
o Total phosphorus removal for 16 events with influent TP concentrations in the
range of 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L averaged 75 percent. A bootstrap estimate of the lower
95 percent confidence limit (LCL95) of the mean total phosphorus reduction was
67 percent.
Other StormFilter system with PhosphoSorb media items the Company should address:
1. Conduct testing to obtain information about maintenance requirements in order to come up
with a maintenance cycle.
2. Conduct loading tests on the filter to determine maximum treatment life of the system.

The entire area between Barcott
Way & Fidalgo Bay was
assumed to be 90% impervious
for calculations. This matches
land use code requiring 10%
landscape.
