The proposal consists of construction of(2) 8 unit apartment buildings for a total of 16 proposed units and associated parking/access and open space areas onsite. The property is approximately 1.14 acres in size located at the site address of 304 Longmire St. on parcel #21724410200. Surrounding properties consist of a golf course to the south and existing Multi-Family complexes. This site will be served by the City of Yelm for water and sanitary sewer. Additional utilities include Puget Sound Energy for power and Qwest Communications for telephone. EXISTING SOIL CONDITIONS Per the S.C.S. soils map, on-site soils consist of Spanaway gravelly sandy loam which will very conducive to infiltration of stormwater for proposed improvements onsite. Pacific Geo Engineering, LLC performed an onsite soil investigation on August 6, 2013 at (9)test pit locations onsite to approximate depth of 11 feet and performed field percolation testing at (3) of these (9)total test pit locations. It was determined from there testing that an"in field" infiltration rate of 12 in/hr exists onsite within the native soils. We have taken this information and applied a factor of safety of(2) for a design infiltration rate for onsite infiltration trench facilities of 6 in/hr which we utilized for our Final Stormwater Quantity Control design. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS The (2)proposed apartment buildings will each discharge via 6" building sewer lines @ 2.0%(min.) to a respective 6,000 gal. fiberglass reinforced STEP tank and then continued conveyance via 6"building sewer line @ 2.0%(min.) to a"joint" 6,000 gal. fiberglass reinforced STEP tank containing (1) duplex Orenco pump package or approved equal. The duplex pump will be controlled with panel located on the side of building "A" fitted with a transfer switch model DT 323 URK as mfg. by Culter Hammer and a male plug, model 70530 MBWP as mfg. by Bryant. Pumped discharge will leave the "joint" STEP tank via a 2" discharge STEP pressure line routing flows out to the existing 2" STEP stub located at the entrance to the project provided for connection. Flows will then enter the existing 4" STEP main in Longmire St. for continued conveyance. See STEP Tank Sizing,pressure main calculations and pump and tank specifications attached to this report for additional information. S.T.E.P.

Ratio of Peak Hourly Flow to Design Average Flow C 1-3.3.3 Infiltration/Inflow Use of the per capita flows (see Table G2-1) and the peaking factor(see C1-3.3.2) is intended to cover normal I/I for systems built with modern construction techniques. However, an additional allowance should be made for I/I with existing conditions such as high ground water, older systems, or a number of illicit connections. I/I allowances for existing systems should be made from actual flow data to the greatest extent possible. C1-3.4 Design Factors The design engineer shall utilize current design criteria. At a minimum, the design of gravity sanitary sewers will include the following: • Peak sewage flows from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sources. • I/I. • Topography and depth of excavation. • Treatment plant location. • Soils conditions. • Flow impacts from upstream pump stations, if applicable. • Maintenance. ?J.
