STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
for
3RD STREET SHORT PLAT CIVIL
FAC 003-0004
Site Address:
The project is located in the S.E. 'l,, Section 18, Township 21 North, Range 5 East, W,M.
at 14XX 3rd Street S.E., Auburn, WA. The tax parcel numbers at the time of application
are 214980 -0320, -0322, -0329 & -0330.
Introduction:
This storm water pollution prevention plan has been prepared to address maintenance and
operation recommendations for the 3rd Street Short Plat project storm water management
system located within the access easement and Tract "X".
The site is located at 14XX 3rd Street S.E. and is 1.55 acres in size. The project will
construct a private access road and utilities for (4) future multi-family buildings located on
separate lots. The buildings will be constructed in a later phase and will be required to
provide separate private infiltration trenches on their lots for the roof storm water run-off
(design per City of Auburn standard detail STORM-05).
The common access drive surface storm water management system will consist of asphalt
paving, several catch basins, piping, a stromceptor water quality manhole, and an
infiltration trench (See approved development plans C 1 thru C3). The City of Auburn's
Construction Standards for storm water management requires both storm water quantity
and quality control for all proposed developments. We have proposed to collect the
access drive storm water runoff from the pavement areas in a series of catch basins. This
water is conveyed via storm drainage pipes to a Stormceptor water quality manhole
located near the S.W. corner of parcel 214980-0335. Here the storm water will be treated
and released into a infiltration trench for discharge into the ground. The system has been
designed to release the existing conditions 25 year flows during the developed 25 year-24
hour storm event with a 1.4 factor of safety.
Plan Goal:
The specific purpose for the storm water facility is to minimize pollution that is typically
associated with modem development. In general, pollution from motor vehicles and
pollution generated from erosion. Attached to this narrative is a maintenance manual
which offers guidelines to the owner for storm water facility maintenance.

Prevention BMP'S
The catch basins shall have. stenciled on them "DUMP NO WASTE -:DRAINS TO
STREAM.. The owner shall be responsible for sweeping the paving, installing storm
drainage stenciling and provide spill control procedures. In case of.spill call 1-425-649-
7000. The catch basins~will need to be visually inspected for accumulation of. debris and
silt and maintained as required by this pollution prevention plan and attachments.
Maintenance Standards / Requirements for Drainage Facilities:
No. 2 - Infiltration ............................see pages. 5 & 6
No: 5 - Catch Basins .........................see pages 7 & 8
No. 10 Conveyance Facilities. . see page 9
No. 12 - Access Roads / Easements see, page 10
No. 14 - Oil Control Facility... see pages I I thru 22:
Treatment BMP'S
Catch basins have been provided to trap sediment: The Stormceptor
manhole has been provided for water quality /oils.
Inspection / Maintenance:
Regular inspections of the drainage •facilities should be carried out twice per year; in the.
spring and fall. The responsible party;should keep records of these inspections available
for review by the City (see sample inspection form page 4). Additional inspections may be.
required after severe seasonal storms or when ponding is visible at any of the catch basin
locations. Catch Basins shall be cleaned when sump is 1/3' full Of sediment or debris.
Routine maintenance of the site will include mowing; care of landscaping and the removal
of trash: and debris from the drainage system. The parking lots.and driveways should be.
kept clean and in repair. Events such as major storms or heavy winds will require
immediate inspections for damages.
To ensure proper water. quality and treatment, the system must be properly maintained:
Be careful to avoid introducing landscape fertilizer to receiving waters or groundwater.

Thank You!
1Ve want to thank you for selecting the Stormceptor System to use in your efforts in protecting the
environment. Stormceptor is one of the most effective and maintenance friendly storm water quality
treatment devices available. If you have any questions regarding the operation and maintenance of the
Stormceptor System. please call your local Rinker Materials representative, or the Stormceptor
Information Line at (800) 909-7763.
1. Stormcepler Overview
The Stormceptor System is a water quality device used to remove total suspended solids (TSS) and
free oil (TPH) from storm water run-off. Stormceptor takes the place of a conventional manhole or
inlet structure within a storm drain system. Rinker Materials manufactures the Stormceptor System
with precast concrete components and afiberglass disc insert- A fiberglass Stormceptor can also be
provided for special applications.
The Stormceptor System product line consists of four patented designs:
• The In-Line (Conventional) Swrmeeptor, available in eight model sizes ranging from 900 to 7200
gallon storage capacity.
• An In-Line (Series) Stotmceptor is available in ,hree.model sizes ranging from 11,000 to 16,000
gallon storage capacity.
• The Submerged Stormceptor, an in-line system designed for oil and sediment removal in partially
submerged pipes, available in eight models sizes ranging from 900 to 7200 Gallon storage capacity.
• The Net Stormceptor is a 450 gallon unit designed for small drainage areas.
Stormceptor removes free oil and suspended solids from storm water preventing hazardous spills and
non-point source pollution from entering downstream lakes and rivers. Rinker Materials and its
affiliates market and manufacture the Stormceptor System in the United States and Australia. Several
thousand Stermceptor Systems have been installed in various locations throughout worth America.
Australia and the Caribbean since L990.
In the Stotmceptor, a fiberglass insert separates the treatment chamber from the by-pass chamber. The
different insert designs are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. These designs are easily distinguishable
from the surface once the cover has been removed.
There are four versions of the in-line disc insert: single inletloutlet, multiple inlet, in-line series insert
and submerged designs. In the non-submerged "disc" design you will be able to see the inlet pipe, the
drop pipe opening to the lower chamber, the weir, a 6" oil inspection/cleanout pipe, a large 24" riser
pipe opening offset on the outlet side of the structure, and the outlet pipe from the unit. The weir
will be around the 24" outlet pipe on the multiple inlet disc insert and on large diameter pipe
applications.
The STC (series) Storrnceptors consist of two chambers comprised of similar fiberglass inserts. These
units also contain a 6" oiUinspection cleanout pipe and 24" outlet riser pipes.
The submerged disc insert has a higher weir and a second inlet drop pipe. In the inlet design you
will be able to see an inlet drop pipe and an outlet riser pipe as well as a central oil
inspection/cleanout port.

The Stormceptor consists of a lower treatment chamber, which is:always full of water; and aby-pass
chamber. Storm water flows into the by-pass chamber via the storm sewer pipe or. grated inlet (Inlet
Stormceptor). Normal flows are diverted by a .weir and drop arrangement into a treatment chamber.
Water flows up through the submerged outlet pipe based on the head at the inlet weir.and ,is
discharged back. into the by-pass chamber downstream of the weir. The downstream section of the
pipe is connected to the outlet sewer pipe.
Oil and other liquids with a specific gravity less than water rise in the treatment chamber and beeoine
trapped under the fiberglass weir. Sediment will.settle to the•bottom of the chamber by gravity. The
circular design of the treatment chamber is critical to prevent turbulent eddy currents and to promote
settling;
During infrequent high flow conditions: storm water will by-pass the weir and be conveyed to the
outlet sewer directly: The by-pass is an integral part of the Stotmceptor since other oil/grit separators
have been noted to scour during high flow conditions (Schueler and Shepp, 1.993).
For further details.ple.ase refer'io The Srormec ptor Systein Technical Manual.
The key benefits of Stormceptor include:
• Capable of removing more than-80% of the total sedimenrload. when properly applied as, a source
control for small drainage areas
• Removes free oil from storm water during normal flow. conditions
• Will not scour or resuspend trapped pollutants
• Ideal spill control device for commercial and industrial developments
• Vertical. orientation facilitates maintenance and :inspections
3. Iden4fccation of StormcgRtor
All In-Line. (including Submerged) Stormceptors are provided.with their own frame 'and, cover. The
cover has the name STOR ICEPTOR dearly embossed on it to allow easy identification of the unit.
The name Stormceptor is not embossed. on the inlet models due to the variability of inlet. grates
used/approved across North America. You will be able to:identify the Inlet Stormceptor by looking
into the grate since the insert will be visible:
Once you have located a unit, there still may be .a question as to the size of the unit. Comparing the
measured depth from the water level (bottom of insert) to the bottom. of the. tank with Table.l should
help determine the'size of the unit.

4. Stonnceptor Maintenance Guidelines
The performance of all storm water quality measures that rely on sedimentation decreases as they fill
with sediment (see Table 2 for Stormceptor capacities). An estimate of performance loss can be made
from the relationship between performance and storage volume. Rinker Materials recommends
maintenance be performed when the sediment volume in the unit reaches 15% of the total storage.
This recommendation is based on several factors:
Sediment removal is easier when removed on a regular basis (as sediment builds up it compacts
and solidifies making maintenance more difficult).
Development of a routine maintenance interval helps ensure a regular maintenance schedule is
followed. Although the frequency of maintenance will depend on site conditions, it is estimated
that annual maintenance will be required for most applications; annual maintenance is a routine
occurrence which is easy to plan for and remember.
A minimal performance degradation due to sediment build-up can occur.
In the event of any hazardous material spill, Rinker Materials recommends maintenance be performed
immediately. Maintenance should be performed by a licensed liquid waste hauler. You should
also notify the appropriate regulatory agencies as required.

4.1 Recommetuled Maintenance Procedure;
For the "disc" desisn, oil is removed through the 6" inspection/cleanout pipe and sediment is removed
through the 24" diameter outlet.riser pipe. Alternatively, oil could be removed from'the 24" opening if
water is removed from the treatment chamber, lowering the oil level below the drop. pipes.
The depth of sediment can be measured from the surface of the Stortnceptor with a dipstick tube
equipped with a ball valve (Sludge Judge°). It is recommended.that maintenance be`performed once
the sediment depth.exceeds-the guideline values provided in Table 3 for the reasons noted in Seotion 4

No entry into the unit is required for routine maintenance of the Inlet Stormceptor or the smaller disc
insert models of the In-Line Stormeeptor. Entry to the level of the disc insert may be required for
servicing the larger disc insert models. Any potential obstructions at the inlet can be observed from
the surface. The fiberglass insert has been designed as a platform for authorized maintenance
personnel, in the.event that an obstruction needs to be removed, sewer flushing needs to be performed,
or camera surveys are required.
Typically, maintenance is performed by the Vacuum Service Industry, a well established sector
of the service industry that cleans underground tanks, sewers, and catch-basins. Costs to clean
a Stormceptor will vary based on the size of the unit and transportation distances. If you need
assistance for cleaning a Stormceptor unit, contact your local Rinker Materials representative, or the
Stormceptor Information Line at (800) 909-7763.

4.2 .Disposal of Trapped Material from Stormceptor
The requirements for the disposal of material from Stormceptor are similar to that of any other Best
Management Practices (BMP). Local guidelines should be consulted prior to disposal of the separator
contents.
Iti.most areas the sediment, once dewatered; can be disposed'of in a sanitary landfill. It is not
anticipated that the sediment would be classified as haiardous waste. In some areas, mixing the
water with the sediment will create a slurry that. can be: discharged into a trunk sanitary sewer. In all
disposal options, approval from the disposal facility operator/agency is required. Petroleum waste
products collected in Stormceptor (oil/chemical/fuel spills) should be removed by a licensed waste
management:company.
'hat if I see an oil rainbow or sheen at the.Stormceptor outlet"
With a steady influx .of water with high concentrations of oil, a sheen may be'noticeable at:the
Stormceptor outlet. This may occur because a rainbow or:sheen can be seen at very small oil concen-
trations 10 ppm). Stormceptor will remove over 95% of all free oil and the-appearance of a sheen
at the outlet with high influent oil concentrations..does not mean that the unit is not working to this,
level of removal: In addition, if the influent oil is. emulsified, the Stormceptor will not be able to
remove it. The Stormceptor is designed for free oil removal and not emulsified or dissolved oil
conditions.
5.0 Recommended Safety,, Procedures
Rinker Materials strongly recommends that any person who enters a Stormceptor System follow
all applicable OSHA regulations for entry in permit required confined spaces, as outlined in
29 CFR 1910.146.. A permit required confined space consists of a space that:
Is large enough and so configured that an'employee can bodily enter and perfornii assigned work.
• 'Has limited or restricted means for entry and exit.
• Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
• Contains, or has one of the following:
- a potential to:contaiit a hazardous atmosphere.
-.a material that has the potential for engulfing an.entran,t.:
- any:other recognized serious safety hazard.
Storm water and wastewater systems fall under OSHA guidelines for a permit required confined.
space. Failure to follow OSHA guidelines for entry and work in a permit required confined.
space can result in serious injury or death. Please exercise extreme caution and follow appropriate
safety procedures when entering any confined space.
Two square pick holes in the cover vent the. Stormceptor, allow for.removal of the cover, and provide
sampling ports for air quality monitoring before the cover is removed. If you must enter the
Stormceptor, please note that if the disc insert inside is wet, it can be slippery.
Stormceproe

Recognizing that every work site is different, the responsibility for safety falls on the contractor. The
contractor must ensure that all employees and subcontractors follow established safety procedures and
OSHA regulations for working in and around permit required confined spaces as well as for any other
safety hazard that may be present on that particular site.
6.0 Stormceptor Monitoring Protocol.
If monitoring of your Stormceptor System is required. we recommend you follow the procedures
outlined below by the Rinker tMaterials Stormceptor office. If you have any questions regarding
monitoring please contact the Rinker Materials Stotmceptor Technical Director at (800) 909-7763.
6.1 Pollutants to be Monitored
Table 4 indicates the pollutants to be monitored during the storm events and the minimum acceptable
detection limit for each pollutant to be analyzed. Approved federal or state laboratory analysis
methodologies are to be used for the analysis.
The optional metals indicated in Table 4 refer to the Resource Conservation Recovery Act and may be
covered by a generic metals scan. Bacteria monitoring will not be required unless explicitly requested
elsewhere.
Two sediment samples are to be extracted from the monitored Stormceptor at the end of the study and
analyzed for the particle size distribution and water content. A minimum of 8 U.S. Sieve sizes is to be
used to determine the particle size distribution. Sieves that are used must include. but are not limited
to 35, 60. 100, 140. 200. 270 and 400. Three clay particle sizes must be.analyzed to denote panicle
sizes between 5 and 25 pni. The panicle size distributions should be plotted on a standard grain size
distribution graph.

6.2 Monitoring Methodology
the: following monitoring protocol should be followed to ensure reasonable monitoring results and
interpretation:
. Monitoring protocols should conform to. EPA 40. CFR Part 136.
• The EPA guideline of 72 hours:dry.period prior to a monitoring event should be used. This will
ensure that there is sufficient pollutant build-up available for wash-off.duri.ng the monitored event.
Flow proportional monitoring must be conducted for the parameters'indicated in Table 1.. Samples
should be analyzed separately for the first flush versus the remainder of the storm event.
Monitoring need not extend longer than an 8;hour, period after the start of the storm event:
(composite).
• Sediment sampling. (measuring. the sediment depth in the unit at the beginning and end of the
monitoring period) must: be conducted. The water content of the sediment layer must be analyzed
to determine the dry volume of suspended solids. Sediment depth sampling will indicate. the rate
of pollution accumulation in the unit, provide confirmation that the unit is not scouring and
confirm.the flow proportional monitoring results. Amass balance using the sediment sampling
should be calculated to validate the flow proportional samplin,.

• Grab sampling (just taking samples at the inlet and outlet) is an unacceptable methodology for
testing the performance of.the Stormceptor during wet weather conditions unless it is flow
weighted (flow weighted composite sample from numerous grab samples) over the entire storm.
• The oil containment area underneath the insert should be inspected via the vent pipe for dry
weather spills capture once a month during the monitoring period since the flow rate of a dry
weather spill may not trigger the automated samplers.
• A tipping bucket rain gauge should be installed on-site to record the distribution of storm
intensities and rainfall volume during the monitored events.
• Results that are within the laboratory eror (both inlet and outlet) or are representative of relatively
clean water should be discarded. Typical concentrations of pollutants in storm water are:
TSS
100 mg/L
Total P
0.33 mg/L
TKN
1.50 mg/L
Total Cu
34 pg1L
Total Pb
144 pg/L
Total Zn
160 pg/L
A threshold first flush/composite TSS value of 50 mg/L at the inlet to the Stormceptor should be used
as the lower limit of an acceptable storm for reporting event efficiency. Monitoring results where the
influent TSS concentration is less than 50 mg/L should only be used in mass load removal calculations
over the entire monitoring period with other storms where the influent concentration is greater than
50 mg/L. The results should not be analyzed if the influent TSS concentrations during all monitored
storms.are less than 50 mg/L. Storms where the influent TSS concentration is less than 10 mg/L
should be discarded from all analyses.
• A threshold storm event volume equal to 1.5 times the storage volume of the Stormceptor being
monitored should be used as the lower limit of an acceptable storm for monitoring.
• Sampling at the outlet of the Stormceptor should be conducted within the 24" outlet riser pipe to
accurately define event performance:
• The personnel monitoring the Stormceptor should record incidental information in a log file.
Information such as weather, site conditions, inspection and maintenance information, monitoring
equipment failure, etc. provide valuable information that can explain anomalous results.
• Laboratory results of monitored samples should be analyzed within 10 days of being submitted to
the lab.
• Weekly inspections of the sampling tubes, flow meter, rain gauge, and quality samplers should be
conducted to ensure proper operation of the monitoring equipment. Debris and sediment that
collects around the sampling intakes should be cleaned after each event.
• During the installation of automated quality samplers, care should be exercised to ensure that
representative samples will be extracted (placement of intakes, ensuring that tubing is not
constricted or crimped).
• Sampling should be conducted for a minimum of 6 storms. Ideally 15 storms should be sampled
if the budget allows.
