GENERAL
• The comments provided below are intended to assist the project proponent with incorporating City requirements into the project documents, but should not be considered an exhaustive list of all necessary provisions from the PMC, design standards, or the Ecology stormwater manual.
• The proposed development site is currently an active cleanup site for contaminated soils. The City has been working diligently with the Dept. of Ecology (Ecology) to ensure the site is remediated. Groundwater monitoring is ongoing and the City is optimistic that the cleanup efforts (excavation and bioremediation) taken to date are working in accordance with the approved cleanup plan. The City has approached the Dept. of Ecology requesting the site be evaluated for a “No Further Action Determination”, but the City has not received a response as of this writing. Once Ecology responds, it will take four consecutive quarters of clean test results before the final NFA can be issued. The project proponent should be aware that there may be design and construction constraints imposed by Ecology as part of any development.
• The City is in the early stages of determining the Festival Street design criteria. An SOQ will be released in early 2023 to select a consultant to assist the City and it is anticipated the final design criteria will be completed in early 2024.
• Engineered plans must follow the latest regulations and standards set forth in the Puyallup Municipal Code (PMC), the City Standards for Public Works Engineering and Construction (design standards), and the current City adopted stormwater manual at the time of civil permit application [PMC 21.10.040].
• Comments regarding design and construction of new utilities and road improvements are provided for the developer’s information and use. Unless specifically noted, construction of these infrastructure improvements is not a condition of landuse approval. However, infrastructure improvements must be approved and permitted prior to issuance of the first building permit associated with the project. [RCW 58.17.120 and 19.07.080]
• More coordination with the city will be required if the townhouses remain and a major plat is required.

SEWER
• This site is located within the City of Puyallup Sewer district. The proposed sewer system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.08.070]
• Any proposed connection to the City sewer system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.08.070]
• Refer to City Standards, Section 400 for Sewer System Requirements. [PMC 17.42]
• There is an existing 8-inch dead-end sewer main located in E Main approximately 120-ft east of 2nd St SE and roughly 4-ft deep. There is a 6” line that was installed 100’ further east of the cleanout shown in public GIS. The city will require any sewer main tap to come from an 8” main, which may require a main extension to provide new connections. In addition, there is an existing 8-inch dead-end sewer main on E Meeker approximately 50-ft east of 2nd St SE and approximately 4-ft deep. There is a 6” line that was installed 165’ east of this. This sewer line ends at a structure that will need to be upgraded to a city standard manhole.
• For this comment, go to the CityView Portal and download the document named “COP Sewer Exhibit”. The sanitary mains and structures (shown in red) are not mapped in GIS. It is assumed that no active connections are existing on these portions, although lateral connections were seen on the city’s camera footage. With development of the Cornforth-Campbell parking lot, new sanitary lateral connections would not be allowed on these portions based on being undersized, non-standard materials and quality deficient. Any extensions to the sanitary mains would require removing the mainline cleanouts (shown in GIS as the starting points) and installing new manholes at their new beginning extents. If no extension would be required, although doubtful, the existing mainline cleanouts would need to be replaced with manholes at their current locations and the unmapped portions of main and structures be removed or decommissioned per WSDOT standards.
• As of this writing, there are no known sewer constrictions in this system within ¼-mile of the proposed project.
• Sanitary sewer mains shall be 8-inch minimum and located 5-feet east or north of roadway centerlines. In accordance with PMC 14.20.020, sewer main extensions shall be carried across the full width of the property being served except in those cases where, in the opinion of the city engineer, the utility involved can never, under any circumstances, be extended beyond the property being served. [PMC 14.20 and PMC 17.42]
• A separate and independent side sewer will be required from the public main to the project site. Side sewers shall be 6-inch minimum diameter with a 0.02 foot per foot slope. Side sewers shall have a cleanout at the property line, at the building, and every 100 feet between the two points. [PMC 14.08.110 & CS 401(6)]
• If the proposed side sewer is greater than 6-inches, a sanitary sewer manhole shall be provided at the property line.
• Any existing side sewer shall not be re-used for the new facility. A new line shall be run from the existing tee to the building(s) being served. The existing trench shall be used and the old sanitary sewer stub shall be removed. [PMC 14.08.120 & CS 401(16)]
• Sewer main pipe and service connections shall be a minimum of 10-feet away from building foundations and/or roof lines.
• Grease Interceptors are required for all commercial facilities involved in food preparation. If there is potential for a future tenant to process food as part of the commercial alternative, an external grease interceptor shall be provided in accordance with the current edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code adopted by the City of Puyallup, Puyallup Municipal Code, and City standard details. [PMC 14.06.031(3) & CS 401(5), 402.3]
• The construction of a trash enclosure will require the enclosure pad to be elevated to prevent stormwater run-on and the entire enclosure covered to prevent stormwater inflow into the sewer area drain. [CS 208.1]
• Utility extensions shall be approved and permitted prior to any building permit issuance. [PMC 14.02.130]
* Trash enclosures shall be designed per design standard 208.1

* If the project proponent proposes to use bioretention cells for water quality treatment, the following notes shall be added to the civil design plans:
- “At the completion of the bioretention cells construction, the engineer-of-record shall provide a written statement to the City of Puyallup that the bioretention cells were built per the approved design.”
- “The bioretention soil media (BSM) supplier shall certify in writing that the bioretention soil media meets the guidelines for Ecology-approved BSM including mineral aggregate gradation, compost guidelines, and mix standards as specified in the 2012 Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound. And, if so verified, no laboratory infiltration testing, cation exchange, or organic content testing is required.”
• Overflow facilities shall be provided at the low points of the proposed permeable pavement areas to allow safe discharge to the downstream public storm system.
• Trench dams shall be provided at the property line for utilities located below infiltrative facilities including, but not limited to, permeable pavements and bioretention facilities. Reference City Standard Detail 06.01.10.
• Construction of frontage improvements associated with this project will require installation/extension of the stormwater main to accommodate road runoff. The new stormwater main shall be adequately sized to accommodate any upstream basins tributary to main.
• At the time of civil permit application, all pipe reaches shall be summarized in a Conveyance Table containing the following minimum information and included in the TIR:
Pipe Reach Name Design Flow (cfs)
Structure Tributary Area Pipe-Full Flow (cfs)
Pipe Diameter (in) Water Depth at Design Flow (in)
Pipe Length (ft) Critical Depth (in)
Pipe Slope (%) Velocity at Design Flow (fps)
Manning’s Coefficient (n) Velocity at Pipe-Full Flow (fps)
Percent full at Design Flow (%)
HGL for each Pipe Reach (elev)
• At the time of civil permit application, the project proponent shall provide a conveyance capacity analysis of the existing downstream storm conveyance system to ensure adequate capacity assuming existing conditions for any contributing offsite areas, and developed conditions for the project site.
• All storm drains shall be signed as follows:
a) Publicly maintained stormwater catch basins shall be signed using glue-down markers supplied by the City and installed by the project proponent.
b) Privately maintained stormwater catch basins shall be signed with pre-cut 90ml torch down heavy-duty, intersection-grade preformed thermoplastic pavement marking material. It shall read either “Only Rain Down the Drain" or “No Dumping, Drains to Stream”. Alternatively, the glue-down markers may be purchased from the City for a nominal fee.
• All private storm drainage facilities shall be covered by a maintenance agreement provided by the City and recorded with Pierce County. Under this agreement, if the owner fails to properly maintain the facilities, the City, after giving the owner notice, may perform necessary maintenance at the owner’s expense.
• Erosion control measures for this site will be critical. A comprehensive erosion control plan will be required as part of the civil permit application.
• Prior to permit issuance, the project proponent shall post a financial guarantee in accordance with PMC 21.10.160 in the amount of 125% of the cost of the stormwater system.
