Residential Drainage Improvements

Client: private residence
Partner: berman & associates

background

The project architect submitted a draft plan set to the City of Seattle for review. The City of Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) issued a Correction Notice citing the 2016 Stormwater Manual requirement for a licensed civil engineer.

challenge

Pacific Stormwater was contacted by the Project Architect to consult on the stormwater design to mitigate the runoff generated from a new impervious surface proposed at the Tam-Johnson residence.

solution

Pacific Stormwater worked closely with the owner to design a low-impact stormwater mitigation system which included dispersion trenches, permeable driveway, and a collection of rain barrels to harvest rain water for use in the homeowner’s garden. Deliverables included an erosion control plan, a drainage control technical memorandum, and a drainage and wastewater plan approved for construction by the City of Seattle.
