STORMWATER NOTES GENERAL • Design shall occur pursuant to the 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington and current City Standards. [PMC 21.10] • Preliminary feasibility/infeasibility testing for infiltration facilities shall be in accordance with the site analysis requirements of the Ecology Manual, Volume III, Chapter 3.2, specifically: - Groundwater evaluation, either instantaneous (MR1-5) or continuous monitoring well (MR1-9) during the wet weather months (December 1 through April 1). If you are not sure about whether or not your project is required to perform this wet weather long term monitoring, then check with the review engineer from the city. It is imperative that this monitoring is performed early in the design process so that the results can be utilized for storm design. Without it, the project could be delayed by a full year. - Hydraulic conductivity testing: o If the development triggers Minimum Requirement #7 (flow control), if the site soils are consolidated, or is encumbered by a critical area a Small-Scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PIT) during the wet weather months (December 1 through April 1) is required for properties under 1 acre. Properties that are over 1 acre that have predicted low infiltration rates should perform Large Scale PIT Tests for better accuracy. o If the development does not trigger Minimum Requirement #7, is not encumbered by a critical area, and is located on soils unconsolidated by glacial advance, grain size analyses may be substituted for the Small Scale PIT test at the discretion of the review engineer. - Testing to determine the hydraulic restriction layer. - Mounding analysis may be required in accordance with Ecology Volume V Section 5.2.7. • If infiltration facilities/BMPs are feasible, the number of tests shall be based on the area contributing to the proposed facility/BMP, e.g., one test for every 5,000 square feet of permeable pavement or one test for each bio-retention cell. • Upon submission of the geotechnical infiltration testing, appropriate long-term correction factors shall be noted for any areas utilizing infiltration into the underlying native soils in accordance with the Ecology Manual. Provide the long-term infiltration rate calculation in the stormwater report. NOTE: The proposal of an SFR may use stormwater policy ENG 22-01 which allows the use of a falling percolation head test anytime during the year. Furthermore, this allows the approval of the building permit prior to seasonal groundwater monitoring with a redundant stormwater system. • Development and redevelopment projects are required to employ, wherever feasible, Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) to meet the design criteria set forth in PMC 21.10.190, the Ecology Manual Volume I, Minimum Requirement 5; Volume III, Chapter 3; and Volume V, Chapter 5. [PMC 21.10.190 and MR#5 from the Ecology Manual] • If the applicant proposes to use bioretention cells for water quality treatment, the following notes shall be added to the civil design plans: o “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.” o “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 any proposed permeable pavement areas to allow safe discharge to the downstream public storm system. • 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 proper notice, may perform necessary maintenance at the owner’s expense. [PMC 21.10.270]

FLOOD NOTES • This site is within a Special Flood Hazard Area (AE ZONE) as determined by the National Flood Insurance Program Community Panel Number 53053C0341E, dated March 7, 2017. Development of the property shall adhere to the regulations contained in PMC Chapter 21.07. Specifically: o The applicant is responsible to determine the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for this project. A hydrologic analysis shall be completed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Washington competent in the technical and scientific knowledge necessary to determine the BFE in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The City may, at the applicant’s expense, hire a third party consultant to evaluate the BFE determination. o It is an option to submit a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to FEMA to remove the structure from the floodplain. However, this requires a detailed floodplain study and the approved LOMA/LOMR must be received by the City prior to permit issuance. o An application for a development permit shall be required and shall include: - Elevation Certificate - Any floodproofing details - For projects in the floodway engineering analysis indicating no rise in the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) o The applicant shall submit a habitat assessment prepared by a qualified professional evaluating the effects and/or indirect effects of the proposed development (during both construction and post-construction) on floodplain functions and documenting that the proposed development will not result in “take” of any species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). o Development proposals that will cause an increase in the water surface elevation of the base flood must provide compensatory storage to the extent necessary to avoid “take” of any species listed as threatened or endangered. This storage must comply with [PMC 21.07.060(1)(f)(i)]. - If less than 1:1 compensatory storage is proposed, the written assessment shall include a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to determine any effects on floodplain storage capacity, increased flood heights, or increased velocities. o If it is determined that the proposed project will impact any listed species or their habitat, the applicant shall provide a mitigation plan to achieve equivalent or greater biologic functions as those lost prior to development of the site. o New residential construction and substantial improvement of any structure will require that the lowest floor, including the basement, shall be elevated 1-foot above the base flood elevation (BFE) of the site.
