SPROUT ENGINEERS a division of SILVER ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC Job No. 9305 -016 May 26, 1993. Blue Star Motel Hydrological Analysis Cr Report Narrative: This is a 0.52 acre parcel that is presently graded with a sparse crushed rock and soil surface. The site has a consistent 7% slope downward to the east. The surrounding area forms a natural closed depression. The : ast property line is shared by the Water District No. 125 maintenance ard, which utilized an infiltration system to remove storm runoff. We are also proposing storm water runoff remoual by an infiltration pond. We haue designed a pond because of a (30" ground o water table) water table which would restrict the use of a buried infi tration tank. The infiltration pond is located along the east property li e and requires the construction of a retaining wall to retain runoff wit in the pond on this property. The berm is constructed with a concrete all and .fill placed along the Val-Uue Sewer District easement. This ill is require to build the side slope up to the top of the berm eleuation f 287'. The pond prouides 6,550 cubic feet of storage, this results in the 00% storage of the 100 year euent storm, with the added safety factor f not allowing for any infiltration. The runoff from the paued area is routed uia surf ce drainage to the pond. A concrete retaining wall and swale will be c nstructed along the edge of the pauement at the top slope of the pond. This will restrict runoff from eroding the side slope of the pond by routing the runoff to the south end where it can enter along a rip -rap pad. There is another rip - rap pad at the roof drain discharge point (north end of ' ond). The infiltration pond design and associated hydro in accordance with i f s u t of Tukwila Storm Water requirements. raph analysis is and The City PERCO(RTION TEST : Job : 9305 -816 Soil Togs Perc.

The drop in water surface in the 6" dia. hole was measured over a 30 min period. The weather conditions were wet, it had been raining all week, and the soil was saturated. The water surface dropped 5.1 inches during this period, the auerage time per inch is 5.8 min. /inch. This infiltration rate is multiplied by a safety factor of 2 yielding 11.6 min. /inch. This is used in the "Water Works" hydrograph program used in the following calculations. The results of the program are attached for your reuiew. The required storage uolume with proper infiltration is 652 cubic feet. With a maximum eleuation of 268.25 the storage uolume of the infiltration pond is 6636 cubic feet, as stated earlier, this is sufficient storage to hold the 100 year euent storm with no prouision for infiltration. Rs a comparison, the 100 year deueloped storm was routed thru a detention system. The release rate from the detention system was deriued from the infiltration rate (11.6 m /in). This rate was concerted into feet per second, multiplied by the 1288 square feet pond area. This yields 0.153 c.f.s., which was input as the release rate for the system. • ISOPOLUUIRLS: 2 yr. 24 hr precipitation euent - 2.8 in. rainfall 10 yr. 24 hr precipitation euent - 2.9 in. rainfall 25 yr. 24 hr precipitation euent - 3.4 in. rainfall 100 yr. 24hr precipitation event - 3.9 in. rainfall A.
