Site Address:
The project is located in Section 6, Township 21 North, and Range 5 East, WM., on the West
Side of Auburn Way North and approximately 500 feet north of the intersection of Auburn
Way North and 301h Street NE in the city of Auburn. The site address is 3025 Auburn Way
North, Auburn, WA 98002. The tax Parcel Number is 000400 0039.
Introduction:
The project proposes to construct a Volkswagen Dealership on lot 2 of short plat (file no.
SPL00-0001). The site is located at 3025 Auburn Way North (see figure 1). Zoning of the
site is C-3, which allows the intended use out right. The Auburn Volkswagen site occupies
Lot 1 (zoned C-3) of the short plat. The site is bound by light industrial on the West (zoned
M1) and the Mazda dealer ship on the North (zoned C-3). The dealership will consist of a
20,000 SF building with approximately 2.5 acres of paved parking, display space, and access
isles.
The completed project will provide a combination wet/detention pond for storm water
treatment and detention of storm water. The pond will be located along the west property
line. See tributary area map in appendix B for delineation of these areas. The on-site storm
water will be collected in a series of catch basins and discharged into the storm pond. The
proposed site grades will not allow for gravity flow to the pond for the entire site. A small
area at the entrance from Auburn Way will discharge directly to Auburn Way due to grades.
Based on our grading plans; this area consists of approximately 1,865 SF of area. The site
plan concept allows for vehicular traffic across the property line. To allow the movement,
the grades must match between the two sites. Since the Volkswagen site must be higher to
allow for drainage to the storm pond, the grading plan must drain some area to the south.
Based on our grading plan, this area is approximately 15,273 SF in size. A cross drainage
agreement for the area between the proposed Volkswagen and existing Volkswagen
dealerships has been approved.
Currently both lot 1 and 2 are paved with an on-site storm system. The existing system
provides only an inverted tee for treatment with little or no detention. The runoff is
discharged to the city's storm system in Auburn Way North. The proposed conditions will
improve the drainage in the area by providing storm water treatment and detention for the
areas draining to the new facilities. The 15,273 SF along the common property line and the
Storm Water Easement and Maintenance Agreement
Page 6 of 18
1,865 SF at the entrance can not gravity flow to the pond. These areas are currently paved
and will continue to discharge to the city systems with out change.
The existing and proposed drainage connection is a catch basin along the Auburn Way
frontage. The existing system's connection consists of a catch basin with an inverted tee oil
water separator connecting to a catch basin in Auburn Way North. The proposed condition
will utilize the same discharge location, but will replace the existing catch basin with a type 2-
storm manhole. The new catch basin will still provide an oil water separator. The manhole
will allow the connection of a new storm pipe from the detention pond. The city system
ultimately discharges into the Green River.
Plan Goal:
The plan has two goals; 1) limit the contact between pollutants and stormwater runoff and 2)
direct as much of the runoff as possible to the combination detention/wet pond for peak flow
control and treatment.
Prevention BMP's
Prevention Best Management Practice's (BMP's) are actions taken by a person or business to
reduce the amount of pollution reaching surface and ground waters. BMP's for this site could
include:
cZ Altering the activity (e.g., substitute non-toxicproducts, recycle used oil, route floor
drains to sanitary sewer from storm sewer)
cis Enclosing or covering the activity that may introduce pollution to stormwater (e.g.,
building a roof)
c,3 Segregating the activity (e.g., diverting runoff away from an area that is contaminated)
cs The catch basins shall have stenciled next to them "DUMP NO WASTE - DRAINS TO
STREAM"
° c,3 The parking lot shall be swept on a regular basis to remove debris.
o crs The conveyance system and storm pond shall be cleaned to remove trash and sediments.
c~
c~3 Routing runoff from the activity to a treatment alternative (e.g., to a wastewater treatment
facility, sanitary sewer, or stormwater treatment area)
Research on urban runoff in the Puget Sound area and elsewhere has found oil and grease,
nutrients, organic substances, toxic metals, bacteria, viruses, and sediments at unacceptable
levels. Effects of contaminated runoff include closure of shellfish harvesting areas and
swimming areas, mortality of young fish and other aquatic organisms, tumors on fish, and
impairment of fish reproduction.
Storm Water Easement and Maintenance Agreement
Page 7 of 18
Of Particular interest are drives and parking areas. Because of heavy vehicle usage, the
concentration of oil and grease in stormwater may exceed the Ecology guidelines of 10 mg/1.
Although there are no local data to confirm this view, limited research in the San Francisco
n Bay area found the mean concentration of oil and grease in stormwater to exceed 10 mg/1.
r-
~n
o Treatment BMP's
Different types of ponds are designed for different purposes. For example, wet ponds
Cr) primarily provide treatment of stormwater. Dry ponds or detention ponds are designed to
provide storage for stormwater and gradually release it downstream or allow it to filter into
crn the ground.
cz
The Auburn Volkswagen Storm system includes a combination detention/wet pond. This type
of pond provides stormwater treatment at the bottom of the pond and detention on the top.
c=)
N
The wet pond or treatment portion of the pond was designed to meet current City of Auburn
standards. The treatment portion of the pond provides a permanent pool of water for pollution
up take. The pool of water allows for sediments to drop out, and supports plant live, which
filters and provides biological uptake of pollution. This pool of water provides00 volume
greater than the volume of the 6-month 24-hour rainfall event, a minimum depth of 3-feet, and
a surface area greater than 1% of the paved parking lot as required by city standards.
The detention pond portion stores the runoff generated by the site and releases the run off at
predevelopment rates. An outlet control devise regulates the discharge from the pond and is
located in a manhole on the south end of the pond. The control devise consists of holes with
diameters calculated to limit the flows to the pre-existing rates. The pond and control
manhole must be kept clear of trash and other debris to prevent blockages of the system.
YOUR STORMWATER FACILITIES
This section consists of two parts that are to be used together: the Facility Key and the Site
Plan. Look on the site plan and identify the numbers denoting a feature of the system. Then
look on the facility key to see what that feature is called and which checklist applies.

QUICK LIST
The following list is an abbreviated checklist of the most common types of maintenance you
should have to do. Please try and go over this checklist after heavy rains. This is a bare
minimum and should be done in conjunction with the other checklists in order to make your
maintenance program effective.
Check catch basin grates to see that they are not clogged or broken. Remove twigs,
leaves, or other blockages. Contact the local jurisdiction to replace the grate if it is
broken.
Check inlet and outlet pipes for blockages. Clear.all blockages.
Check filter strip, swale and pond walls for erosion or caved in areas.

MAINTENANCE CHECKLISTS
The. Maintenance Checklists in this packet are for you to use when checking the stormwater
facilities on your property. This packet has been customized so that only the checklists for
your facilities are included. If you feel you are missing a checklist, or you have additional
facilities not identified or addressed in this packet, please contact your local jurisdiction.
The.checklists are in tabular format for ease of use and brevity. Each checklist tells you what
part of the feature to check, how often to check it, what to check for, and what to do about it.
Log sheets are included toward the end of the chapter to help you keep track of when you last
surveyed the storm drainage system.
Although it is not intended for the maintenance survey to involve anything too difficult or
strenuous, there are a few tools that will make the job easier and safer. These tools include:
c~3 A flashlight.
crs A long pole or broom handle.
c.,3 Some kind of pry bar or lifting tool for pulling manhole and grate covers.
c,3 Gloves.
= A listing of resources is included in the next chapter. Here you will find the phone numbers
of the agencies referred to in the tables, as well as the contractor and consultants that designed
and constructed your facilities.
c~ SAFETY WARNING: Due to OSHA regulations you should never stick your head or any
Q part of your body into a manhole or other type of confined space. When looking into a
N manhole or catch basin, stand above it and use the flashlight to help you see. Use a pole or
broom handle that is long enough when you are checking sediment depths in confined spaces.
NO PART OF YOUR BODY SHOULD BREAK THE PLANE OF THE OPEN HOLE.

PONDS
There are essentially three kinds of ponds: treatment ponds, infiltration ponds, and detention
ponds. Although each pond has unique maintenance requirements, there are also many things
they have in common. Your facility is an infiltration pond.

LOG SHEET
Use log sheets to keep track of when maintenance checks occur and what items, if any, are
repaired or altered. The completed sheets will serve as a record of past maintenance activities
and will provide valuable information on how your facilities are operating. This information
will be useful for future requirements regarding the types of facilities that are installed. It
helps to keep all log sheets in a designated area so others can easily access them.
