Cross Connection Control:
Washington State Department of Health, in WAC 246-290-490 states that all group A water systems with 1000 or more connections are required by the department of health to develop and
implement a cross control connection program. This program requires all commercial buildings and irrigation systems to have a back flow prevention device installed on the water services.
A list of approved devices can be located at the above referenced Washington Administrative Code.
Reclaimed Water System
The City of Yelm has a reclaimed water system used for irrigation and non-potable water uses. The reclaimed water system is located in the right of way of Rhoton Road. This project
would be required to extended the reclaimed water system a crossed the project frontage. The pipe is 10” PVC and purple in color.
Sewer TC \l1 "
The proposed site is currently not connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system. This site is served by a 4” STEP sewer main located in Rhoton Road right of way.
This project will be required to install a step service for the parcel. This connection will include a tank(s), pump system, service line etc as necessary to meet the current City of

An inspection fee of $145.00 per a connection will also be required.
Fire
All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. When reviewing proposals or projects for compliance with the International Fire Code, the following need to be addressed:
Does the proposal have fire hydrant coverage? To meet this requirement the building must have coverage by fire hydrants. All parts of the buildings must be within 150’of a fire hydrant.
Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing a fire sprinkler system or utilizing fire lanes for fire truck access. The final requirements will be determined by the Building
Official.
Stormwater TC \l1 "
Developments with over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. If stormwater mitigation is
required the types of stormwater mitigation may be wet ponds, bioswales and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is 100% infiltration. There is 2 ways to accomplish this: open ponds
and underground galleries. The open ponds are depressions that store stormwater and allow it to infiltrate back into the underground aquifer.
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
Frontage improvements will be required for this project. Rhoton Road is classified as a “Commercial Collector” roadway. This classification of roadway will require a half street pavement
section of the roadway to be 16’ in width, concrete curb and gutter, planter strip and 5’ sidewalk. The required right of way will be 28’ in width. Driveway spacing will have to be
addressed during the site plan review process. If additional right of way is required
ADA Requirements
The American Disabilities Act required that facilities are ADA accessible. Facility improvements will have to meet current code. Review of these improvements will be determined upon
further review of the civil and architectural plans.
