RE: Ridgeline Junior High School – SPR-04-0180 -YL
Reclaimed Water Design and RPBA Locations
Dear Mr. Morrissette,
This letter serves as a follow up on the meeting between the City of Yelm and Ridgeline Junior High Design Team. At the end of this meeting, there were two issues remaining that the
City needed to respond too. First was the location of the onsite RPBAs and second was who was responsible for submitting the reclaimed irrigation design to the reviewing agencies.
The City of Yelm has determined that the RPBA’s shall be located directly behind the water meters at the new Junior High. This is consistent with City policy, meets the intent of the
City’s cross connection control program and the Washington Administrative Code. These locations were shown on the approved plans dated May 23, 2005. One note to mention is that Mill
Pond Middle school will also be required to meet this same requirement when the reclaimed water system enters the property. This has not been shown on the Ridgeline Junior High plans.
The second item was who is responsible for submitting the reclaimed irrigation plans to the Department of Health and Department of Ecology for review and approval. Because the reclaimed
water system is monitored by both jurisdictions, each has its own review and approval process. This is the responsibility of the project proponents to submit the plans and coordinate
the review and subsequent approval of the irrigation plans. These reviews should be done concurrently with the City of Yelm’s review.
The Public Works and Community Development Departments have requested that I continue to be the single point of contact for this project. If you have any questions please do not hesitate
to call me at (360) 458-8438 or email me at jimg@ci.yelm.wa.us and I will be happy to assist you.
