20070404 SEI Response to Rev 4 07272010 File No.: 07118.10 June 17, 2014 City of Yelm Community Development Department 105 Yelm Avenue West P.O. Box 479 Yelm, WA 98597 Project: Creek Road Mixed Use Subject: Response to Comments for Review #4 Dear Sir/Madam: This letter is in regards to the sewer department comments emailed to Sound Engineering by Karen Bennett on July 26, 2010 (the comments were provided in PDF document " 20070404 Sewer Cmt #4 072110.pdf." 1. No Diatomaceous Earth Residue into tank, otherwise property owner solely responsible for pumping costs to tank. No more than 10 gpm pumped out of swimming pool at any one time. The following note has been added to sheet C19 (S.T.E.P. Sewer Plan): POOL NOTE NO DIATOMACEOUS EARTH RESIDUE TO BE WASHED INTO STEP TANK, OTHERWISE PROPERTY OWNER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TANK PUMPING COSTS. NO MORE THAN 10 GPM SHALL BE PUMPED OUT OF THE POOL AT ANY TIME. 2. Grease Trap issue for commercial buildings does not appear to be adequately addressed. As stated in the STEP report, the occupancies of the commercial buildings have not been determined yet. To accommodate grease interceptors for restaurant occupancies, the gravity side sewers for the commercial buildings have been laid out in a manifold configuration, with each building space having its own side sewer stub and grease interceptor stub (please refer sheet C19 of the construction plans). Adequate space has been provided to allow for the installation of a grease interceptor at each retail space as required once the occupancy types have been determined. To indicate that grease interceptors are required for restaurant occupancies and that they are owned and maintained by the property owner, we have added the following note on sheet C19 (S.T.E.P. Sewer Plan): GREASE INTERCEPTOR NOTE RESTAURANT OCCUPANCIES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE GREASE INTERCEPTORS INSTALLED. THE INTERCEPTORS ARE TO BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. 3. Prior to ordering tanks, submittal for all step tanks / system appurtenances shall be submitted to Yelm Sewer Department for approval by contractor / engineers. The following note has been added to sheet C19 (S.T.E.P. Sewer Plan): STEP TANK APPROVAL NOTE PRIOR TO ORDERING TANKS, SUBMITTAL FOR ALL STEP TANKS / SYSTEM APPURTENANCES SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE YELM SEWER DEPARTMENT FOR APPROVAL BY CONTRACTOR / ENGINEERS. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or comments regarding this matter. Sincerely, Timothy D. Holderman, P.E.
