STORMWATER, EROSION, AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN
FOR PARCEL #965000135, LOT 247, KALA POINT, PORT
TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON 98368
United Engineering, Inc. was retained by Anderson Homes, LLC, on behalf of Andrew
Reed & Marilyn Meyer, to prepare a Stormwater Management Plan for a single-family
residential project located on Jefferson County Tax Parcel #965000135 in the Kala Point
area of Port Townsend, WA. A single-family residence is proposed to be constructed. The
home will be served by a gravel driveway off Belvedere Drive. This plan will conform to
the 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Existing Conditions
The site has an overall slope between 15-20% from the west downward to the east. The
parcel is 36,112 sf. It is currently undeveloped, but is part of a larger partially developed
subdivision, Kala Point. The lot is currently vegetated with forest like condition. No
existing stormwater system is in place for the surrounding subdivision, an on site
system will be prescribed.
Soil Conditions
Per the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation
Services (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, site soils for are Hoypus gravelly loamy sand.
Septic test pits were dug in August of 2018 by Timothy Thomas. These test pits
confirmed medium sands and no water table to a depth of greater than 6 feet. No
evidence of mottling or shallow ground water level were found.
New Development
The proposed project will result in about 5,757 square feet of new impervious surfaces,
of which about 4,156 square feet will be non-pollution generating impervious surfaces
(new roof, deck, sidewalk), and about 1,601 square feet will be pollution generating
impervious surfaces (new gravel driveway/gravel parking area). The project results in
more than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surfaces, so all Minimum Requirements,
RECEIVED BY DCD 11/1/21
Western Washington (SWMMWW), apply.
Minimum Requirement #1 Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
See Stormwater Site Plan.
Minimum Requirement #2 Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
For description of Best Management Practices (BMPs) listed below for Elements #1
through #9, and except where specifically noted otherwise, refer to the 2019 SWMMWW.
Element #1 Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
Before land disturbing activity begins, the clearing limits must be marked with
siltation fence or high visibility fencing. The native topsoil and existing vegetation
must be retained in an undisturbed state to the maximum degree practical.
Element #2 Establish Construction Access
Unless a written variance is granted in advance, a stabilized construction entrance
(BMP C105) for this project shall be provided via Belvedere Dr. See the
Stormwater Site Plan and referenced detail sheets for specific location and details
for the stabilized construction entrance.
Any sediment tracked off the site must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of each
day, or more frequently if determined necessary, by shoveling, sweeping,
transporting to a controlled sediment disposal area, street washing, and/or other
necessary and appropriate measures.
Element #3 Control Flow Rates
Because of the heavily vegetated nature of the site, stormwater flows are not
expected to concentrate in any significant volume or flow rate. Runoff Control
systems that will serve roofs, pavements, sidewalks, and other impervious areas
must be constructed as soon as possible to avoid any flow concentration. Activities
such as roof gutter and downspout installation, paving, and similar construction
activities, must be promptly completed in the proper sequence to control flows and
minimize the potential for erosion and sedimentation. Silt fence (BMP C233),
wattles (BMP C235), and/or other appropriate BMPs must be used as necessary
for control of flow rates.
Element #4 Install Sediment Controls
Siltation fence will serve as the sediment control for the project. The location of the
siltation fence is shown on the Stormwater Site Plan and must be in place in all areas
where sediment could potentially leave the site.
Element #5 Stabilize Soils
Soils must not remain exposed and unworked for more than the time periods set
forth below:
May 1 to September 30: 7 days.
RECEIVED BY DCD 11/1/21
October 1 - April 30: 2 days.
Bare soils, particularly bare slopes, and soil stockpiles must be protected from
erosion with sediment trapping measures. To the maximum extent possible,
stockpiles must be located away from storm drain inlets, waterways, and drainage
channels.
Temporary and permanent seeding (BMP C120), mulching (BMP C121), nets and
blanketing (BMP C122), plastic covering (BMP C123), top-soiling and/or
composting (BMP C125), and/or other appropriate BMPs must be used as
necessary for stabilizing of soils.
Additionally, post-construction soil quality and depth enhancement (BMP T5.13;
refer to Building Soil; Guidelines and Resources for Implementing Soil Quality and
Depth BMP T5.13, 2016 Edition) must be implemented to improve infiltration
capacity of the newly created and restored lawn areas.
Element #6 Protect Slopes
Blanketing or other effective temporary measures shall be taken to prevent
erosion. Slope construction and slope stabilization should be scheduled during
dry weather (usually May 1 to September 30) to minimize potential for erosion.
Temporary and permanent seeding (BMP C120), mulching (BMP C121), nets and
blanketing (BMP C122), plastic covering (BMP C123), and/or other appropriate
BMPs must be used as necessary for protection of slopes.
Element #7 Protect Drain Inlets
Inlet protection shall also be placed in all existing and new catch basins and
inlets that could potentially receive stormwater flows directly from the site.
Storm drain inlet protection (BMP C220), use of oil-absorbent-rated catch basin
inlet fabric insert bags, and/or other appropriate BMPs must be used as necessary
for inlet protection.
Inlet protection must not obstruct vehicle traffic on the site.
Element #8 Stabilize Channels and Outlets
This project does not have any channels or outlets where concentrated flows could
leave the site and enter natural or man-made bodies of water or wetlands.
Element #9 Control Pollutants
All chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products, and other materials that have
the potential to pose a threat to human health or the environment must be provided
with secondary containment and protection from weather, vandalism, and/or other
adverse circumstances. Secondary containment means placing tanks and/or
containers within an impervious structure capable of containing 110% of the
volume contained in the largest tank or container within the containment structure.
RECEIVED BY DCD 11/1/21
Fueling, maintenance, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles must include
use of spill prevention and control measures.
Washout of concrete trucks, dumping of excess concrete, and similar activities
shall not be performed on-site. Washout of concrete trucks, dumping of excess
concrete, and similar activities shall only be performed in off-site locations
specifically approved for such activities.
Proper concrete handling (BMP C151), saw cutting and surfacing pollution
prevention (BMP C152), proper material delivery, storage, and containment (BMP
C153), and/or other appropriate BMPs must be used as necessary for control of
pollutants.
Any and all spills associated with this project, either on site or off site, must be
reported to the proper authorities and thoroughly cleaned up to meet applicable
City, County, State, and/or Federal standards.
Element #10 Control Dewatering
In the unlikely event that dewatering is required, water from dewatering operations
shall be discharged in such a manner that it does not result in erosion and
sedimentation. Special care shall be taken to avoid sedimentation of existing and
new stormwater control facilities.
Element #11 Maintain BMPs
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs must be
maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their
intended function in accordance with BMP specifications. All temporary erosion
and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after achieving final
site stabilization or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
An adequate supply of appropriate spare materials shall be kept on site for
maintenance of BMPs (BMP C150).
Element #12 Manage the Project
Accurate and timely BMP installation, monitoring, and maintenance, SWPPP
preparation and up-dating as necessary, and record-keeping of construction
SWPPP activities for the project, shall be under the supervision of a Certified Erosion
and Sediment Control Lead (BMP C150 and BMP C160).
To the extent possible, work shall be schedule to take advantage of normal
seasonal dry weather conditions (BMP C162).
Element #13 Protect Low Impact Development BMPs
Stormwater control facilities shall be protected from sedimentation and other
harmful processes. Silt fence (BMP C233), wattles (BMP C235), oil absorbent
RECEIVED BY DCD 11/1/21
fabric catch basin inlet bags, and/or other appropriate BMPs must be used as
necessary to protect stormwater facilities.
Minimum Requirement #3 Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs must be applied to this
project to prevent stormwater from coming into contact with pollutants. Source control
BMPs must be selected, designed, and maintained according to the 2019 SWMMWW.
Construction-related pollution control is addressed above under Minimum Requirement
#2, Element #9 above.
Dust control may be achieved by sprinkling dry soils with water, but not to the point that
the dust control water creates turbid runoff.
Pollutant Source Specific BMP S411 BMPs for Landscaping and Lawn Management
shall be implemented per the SWMMWW and appendices in this report.
Minimum Requirement #4 Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
There are no natural drainage systems or outfalls on this site. The primary mechanism of
runoff is sheet flow through the lot, and native infiltration.
Minimum Requirement #5 Onsite Stormwater Management
This parcel is in a sub-basin which discharges into a salt water body making it flow control
exempt. List #3 will be followed to meet this minimum requirement.
For lawn and landscaped areas BMP T5.13, Post-Construction Soil Quality and Depth
will be applied to disturbed areas which will not be converted into impervious surface. An
SWMMWW will be placed throughout the lawn area and other disturbed areas by
amending the existing soil with imported compost material.
Roof runoff will be collected in downspouts and routed to the designed infiltration system
designed per SWMMWW BMP T5.10.
Driveway runoff will be collected in a channel drain and routed to the infiltration system.
The site layout does not allow for dispersion of the driveway in the front yard area of the
residence. Dispersion in the rear of the residence will potentially flow into the septic
system area. The Infiltration system has been sized to handle the added area of the
driveway and will limit potentially negative effects of the septic system and neighboring
parcels downstream.
Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment
This project results in less than 5,000 sf of pollution-generating hard surface, therefore a
runoff treatment BMP is not required.
RECEIVED BY DCD 11/1/21
Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control
This project results in less than 10,000 sf of effective impervious surface, therefore
additional flow control analysis is not required.
Minimum Requirement #8 Wetlands Protection
No known wetlands exist on the site.
Minimum Requirement #9 Operation and Maintenance
An operations and maintenance manual for on-site stormwater facilities can be found in
Appendix III.
