Shah Septic Line Stream Crossing, 30016 20th Place SW, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Shah:

Jim Ferrell, Mayor
This letter responds to your critical area exemption request submitted to the city on May 24, 2019. The
Community Development Department staff has reviewed and hereby approves your proposal to cross the
type Ns stream and stream buffer on your property with two schedule 40 PVC 3/4-inch lines (supply and
return) for a new septic drain Field on the southern end of your property.
The stream on the property has been classified in a June 13, 2018, memo by Cedarock Consultants Inc. as a
type Ns stream, which has a minimum 35-foot required stream buffer per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC)
19.145.270,
As described in the revised Walker Septic Design and Repair plans dated received on June 19, 2019, the 3/4
inch transport lines for the septic system include the following construction methods as noted on the plans:
• Transport line to be installed by boring or pushing under the stream bed for a distance of 70 feet.
• Sleeve supply line and return lines a minimum of 35 feet on either side of stream.
•. Lines are to be buried at least three feet below the stream bed.
■ Lines are to be perpendicular to the stream bed.
• Pressure test transport line to assure water tight.
As identified in Viral Shah June 19, 2019, email, construction of the lines and drain field can be accessed from
the north via an existing Shah access road, and from the south via the neighbor's property to the west.
This stream crossing work is hereby approved as proposed and does not require a formal critical area
exemption under FWRC 19.145.110 or FWRC 19.145.120, as all critical area impacts from this small
improvement are avoided. The proposed stream crossing by pushing or boring under the Ns stream avoids
impacts to the stream and its 35-foot protective buffer. No above ground work is proposed within 35 feet of
the stream. The septic drain field lines are a small private utility improvement and the construction method
Mr. Viral Shah
Page 2of2
July 8, 2019
meets the highest level of critical area protection identified in RVRC 19.145.130 by avoiding impacts to the
stream and buffer. The overall project will protect the public health, safety, and welfare by installing a new
code compliant septic drain system and avoiding critical area impacts.
The applicant is responsible for all other permits and approvals, including any access over the neighbor
property and King County Health Department approval. We suggest that you consult your stream biologist,
Cedarock Consultants Inc., to determine if any other state or federal permits are required.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact me at 253 835-2652 or

Mr. Shah:
I have taken a quick look at the critical area exemption request and the drawings submitted with your
request.
In order to further review your request, I need some additional information from your septic installer.
Can you please have your septic installer (Walker Design) provide a written narrative of how they
propose to do the stream crossing that is shown on their plan. The Walker plan shows the stream
crossing, and states it is a sleeve for 10 feet on each side of the stream. Per the FWRC there is a 35 foot
buffer on each side of the stream. Therefore, it appears there is a 25 foot intrusion into the stream
buffer on each side of the stream for the construction.
Have Walker indicate the construction method. A boring or pushing under the stream bed for a distance
of 70 feet (35 feet on each side of creek) is easily permitted as it meets all FWRC requirements by
staying out of the stream buffer, and I thought from previous discussions that this was the construction
method you were pursuing.
Also have Walker provide another drawing showing how and where they gain access across the creek for
septic construction on each side of the creek.
Email correspondence from Walker Design is acceptable.

As for another drawing showing where they will gain access across the stream for septic construction on each

come up with the plan for this as they may have to get in touch with the neighbors.
Please let me know if this is acceptable and if there is anything else needed. Thank you very much!

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 13, 2018
To: Dr. Viral Shah and Dr. Aparna Ananth
From: Carl Hadley
Subject: Stream Typing Analysis
30016 20th PI SW, Federal Way
This memo provides qualitative analysis of a small watercourse that crosses 30016 20th PI SW in
Federal Way (Figure 1). A review of field conditions and existing documents was conducted to
evaluate appropriate water typing. The watercourse was walked on June 5, 2018 from Puget
Sound upstream approximately 1,000 feet to review current conditions affecting potential fish
use. This included looking for evidence of fish passage barriers, and both rearing and spawning
habitat quality.

Stream Flow
The stream was flowing with approximately 50 gpm. This resulted in an active watercourse about
12-16" wide and between 0.5 and 1.0" deep. According to the landowners, the creek dries up
every summer for between 2 and 4 months.

30016 20th PI SW, Federal Way
June 13, 2018
Watercourse Route and Fish Passage
The approximate watercourse route is shown in Figure 2. It is not known exactly what route the
pipe follows as it traverses the neighbor's property to the west. Starting at the beach there is a
small (-12") culvert buried under the sand and gravel where flow is discharged (see Photo 1).
During the winter when flows are higher the culvert is reportedly exposed. But spring and
summer flows are not high enough to keep littoral sediment transport on the beach from burying
the pipe invert. The pipe appears to travel upslope approximately 520-feet over a 10 percent
grade (Photo 2). The upstream end of the pipe daylights in a 3-4-foot deep vertical stormwater
pipe with a squirrel cage on top designed to preclude brush from entering (Photo 3). None of
this reach is fish passable.
From the squirrel cage, an open channel heads southeast approximately 125-feet across the
Shah-Ananth property. The wetted channel is narrow (12-24"), shallow (generally less than an
inch or two), and about 12 percent in grade (Photo 4). No permanent fish barriers were noted.
A second (dry) channel appeared to head due south but was not flowing or investigated further.
A second 12" culvert is located near the eastern boundary of the Shah-Ananth property (Photo
5). This culvert continues southeast upslope 140-feet under a road and driveway. The culvert
slope is about 11 percent. It is not fish -passable. From the upstream end of the second culvert
a small open channel continues southerly up a moderate (11 percent) slope of heavily vegetated
forest. No permanent migration barriers were noted in the several hundred feet that were
examined.
Fish Habitat Conditions
Most (>65 percent) of the watercourse on and near the site is contained within two small steep
culverts and offers no potential habitat or fish passage. The rest consists of a small (less than 2-
feet wide), relatively steep channel. The channel contains no pools, no woody debris, no patches
of clean gravel suitable for spawning, or any other habitat of the type preferred for use by
salmonids for rearing or spawning. Because water is only present during the wet season, any fish
use would be temporary. The lack of winter rearing habitat (e.g. refugia) in the confined
moderately steep channel would preclude even this use should access ever be provided.
Riparian Conditions
The open channel section on the Shah-Ananth property is heavily clogged with a dense stand of
reed canarygrass that covers the banks and clogs the channel in places (Photo 6). Moderate aged
deciduous trees are found close to the channel at the upper and lower end and provide some
beneficial function. Other native species are found close to the stream on the east side where
the grade steepens.
Should the property owners ever need a source of mitigation for work near the stream, there is
significant opportunity for enhancement of the riparian buffer that would benefit local wildlife
including amphibians and avian species. The dense stand of non-native grasses could be
discouraged, and native shrubs and trees planted as way to increase riparian buffer functions.

30016 20th PI SW, Federal Way
June 13, 2018
Water Typing Conclusion
A review of existing literature identified a few agency maps that suggest the watercourse in
question may have historically supported salmonids including coho salmon (Figure 1). We were
not able to identify any evidence for this determination. No surveys, agency names, data, or
dates are associated with the maps. It is very clear that the channel currently does not and
cannot support coho due to the long steep culvert down to the beach. This culvert was reportedly
placed more than a decade ago and may have replaced a previous culvert. Because the channel
dries up completely each year, and fish access from Puget Sound is not possible, the channel is
not currently fish -bearing. The fish use call may have been a presumption based on mapping
characteristics.
Should the culverts ever be removed, the channel on the Shah -Ana nth property is unlikely to ever
support more than minimal use by fish (if any). The watercourse is very narrow due to limited
flow and high channel gradient. Under existing conditions, it is my opinion the watercourse
would be classified as Ns under the City of Federal Way Revised Code 19.145.260(2) and the
Washington State code WAC 222-16-030(4). These are seasonal, non -fish habitat streams in
which surface flow is not present for at least some portion of a year of normal rainfall.

Re: Request for an administrative decision for critical area exemption under FWRC 19.145.110 (2)
Dear Mr. Harris,
As you know from our conversation, our house is currently served by a gravity septic system that was
originally installed north of the house in 1965. This aging system is in need of a new drainfield and
replacement of several components.
The area immediately south of the house is used already for a septic drainfield for the ADU on the
property. Dan Walker of Walker Septic Design has prepared attached septic design that allows for a new
drain field for the main house and establishment of two reserves on our property further south of the
main house. His design has been submitted to the King county Department of Health (KCDOH) for approval
on 5/22/19. As you can see, this design proposes that the septic lines travel underground below the level
of the Ns Stream south of our house to connect to the new proposed drainfield.
We had a biologist Mr. Carl Hadley review the stream crossing our property and his opinion was that "the
watercourse would be classified as Ns under the City of Federal Way Revised Code 19.145.260(2) and the
Washington State code WAC 222-16-030(4)." His full report is attached with this application.
FWRC 19.145.110 (2) calls out exempted activities in critical areas — "Operation, maintenance, or repair
of existing public improvements, utilities, public or private roads, parks, trails, or drainage systems if the
activity does not further alter or increase impact to, or encroach further within, the critical area or buffer
and there is no increased risk to life or property as a result of the proposed operation, maintenance, or
repair, and no new clearing of native vegetation beyond routine pruning."
We request critical areas exemption to maintain and repair our utility (septic system) under the code. We
request that we and our septic installer be allowed to cross below the Ns stream to connect our septic
tanks to our new septic drainfield, using a KCDOH approved septic design and permit.
We hope to install the necessary components to repair our aging septic system this summer and hope to
receive your approval to allow us this installation.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
V'0 G �
