City of Arlington
Planning Commission/City Planner~
Gentlemen,
During ❑ur~ meeting on Thursday, 2/14/91 you had requested
that we submit a formal application for our composting
operation as well as to address some specific concerns.
Those concerns were as follows :
1. Odor~ potential.
2. Vaporization - Potential to block highway view.
3. Allowed limits of pesticides and herbicides.
4. Site plan - 18"x24" 1 :50 or 1 :20
5. Landscapes - (a) Visual screen (b) Aesthetics
b. Flow Chart - Follows material start to finish.
These points are addressed here.
1. The potential for unpleasant odors from com-
post is always present. The odor~ is a result
of the debris being compacted. This creates a
haven for the unwanted anaerobic bacteria. By
moving the material to and through the separa-
tion process the debris becomes re-air~ified
allowing the desirable aerobic bacteria to take
over, reducing the odor~.
Often times we receive the debris many days
after~ it has been harvested. To combat this
we Must process it as soon as it reaches us.
When properly composted this debris need not
give-off an unpleasant odor~.
2. As the debris is composted the interior~ pile
temperatures will reach as high as 160 degrees.
This high temperature aids in the compost pro-
cess to break down the individual fibers as well
as to kill any remaining weed seeds. A very
small amount of vapor~ or, steam is emitted
continually from the winr~ows. When the piles
are turned, a large amount of steam escapes from
the pile. The amount of course depends upon the
outside temperature, the interior temperature
and the moisture content. The steam will generally
dissipate before rising over 15 feet. In an effort
to keep this steam from crossing the adjacent
roadway, we will install plantings which will
effectively block the movement in that
direction.
3. Allowed limits of pesticides and herbicides.
Please see Attachments 2 and 3.
4. Site Flan — See map M
5. Along the western boundaries of the site, a
wall, approximately 4" high will be erected
from large interlocking concrete blocks.
Against the outside of the blocks will be a berm
constructed of a planting soil, which will be
planted to a combination of Western Red Cedars,
Douglas Fir-, Rhododendrons, Scotchbroom and
various evergreen shrubs. This berm will also
be constructed along the northern property limit
but will be more sparsely planted.
These plantings are intended to affect the
aesthetics of the site as well as to pro—
vide a barrier for the steam that is emitted
from the compost piles.

Thank you for your consideration of this project.
Sincerely,
Charles A. Hargrove,
President

Q,�2c�L�r�,nt3
This attachment was scheduled to be a listing of the
allowed limits of effluents. After, much research by
Kaldveer Assoc. and ourselves, it has been determined
that these limits are established on a case—by—case
basis by the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Their determination, according to their agent Gary
Bailey (phone# 438-7054) , is made in consideration of
the final disposal method, ie. . Dump into stream,
Storm water system, etc.
Mr. Bailey indicated that their N. W. Regional office,
located in Redmond, WA (phone# 867-7000) will be the
one to reach the decision, although, as we will
contain all but the 25 year severe storm, no limits
will be established.

BASSETT WESTERN, INC.
WOODINVILLE, WASHINGTON
INTRODUCTION
Bassett Western has been in the business of acquiring, screening and
delivering topsoil since "Somewhere back around 1936. " During these many
years the founding father, LENO BASSETT has continued to upgrade the
products as well as to add to the product line whenever necessary. During
his years of ownership he saw the bark market go from a tremendous waste
liability to a common household ingredient. Leno has now retired from the
business, but his philosophy stays on.
We are exited to be in a position to watch the Yard and Garden Debris
market follow the way of the bark market as it also has the potential to
reach the same common status.
The bark market was spawned due to the need to stop dumping it into every
river or canyon available. Today we face a similar need to stop filling
our landfills with re—usable materials such as yard and garden debris.
We are currently members of the Washington Organic, Recycling Council
(W.O. R.C. ) This council was organized to assist the department of
Ecology in writing regulations for yard and garden debris composting.
We submit our application with all of the data collected in support of
this project as well as our reputation for offering a quality product,
quality service and community support.

by the Stillaguamish River which represents
the base level for any groundwater gradient
in the area.
Location of discharge points of surface water
* The location of the discharge points of sur—
face water and the retention systems are
shown on the Site Flan Figure 2. They con—
sist of a drainage swale running east-west
along the southern portion of the property, a
detention system and an infiltration system.
The infiltration system will accept sUbsur—
face seepage and overflow from surface runof
only during heavy rainfall.

age Swale running in an east west direction at
the southern portion of the property. The
function of the Swale is to intercept the sur-
face water and reroute it to the detention and
infiltration systems. In addition to the
swale, infiltration and detention systems, the
permanent ecology block fencing will serve as
water control structures to divert surface
water. The asphalt covered compost storage
area will be sloped towards the drainage
swale.

D. Geohydrolonical Assessment. Required to be completed for
solid waste landfill, surface impoudment, or landspreading
facilities and on other facilities as required by the Health
Officer.
1. Attach an assessment addressing each of the items listed
below.
**a. Local/regional geology and hydrology, including
faults, unstable slopes and subsidence areas on
site ;
**b. Evaluation of bedrock and soil types and
properties
**c. Depths to ground water and/or aquifer(s) ;
**d. Direction and flow rate of local ground water;
**e. Direction of regional ground water;
**These items have been discussed in separate
studies, Preliminary Site Assessment Environ-
mental Site Assessment Phase 2, presented to
Marysville Paving (attached) .
f. Quantity, location and construction (where
available) of private and public wells within
a two thousand foot radius of site ;
* No wells located.
g. Tabulation of all water rights for ground water and
surface water within a two thousand foot radius of
the site.
h. Identification and description of all surface waters
within a one-mile radius of the site ;
*The only surface water identified within one mile
radius of the site is the Portage Creek that flows
in an east-west direction and intersects the
Stillaguamish River. The Stillaguamish River is
about 1. 5 miles north of the site and about 2. 5
miles to the east, as shown on Figure 3.
i. Background ground and surface water quality assess-
ment, and for expanded facilities, indentification
of impacts of existing facilities of the applicant
to date upon ground and surf.ae waters from landfill
leachate discharges ;
Background groundwater samples will be collected
when access to the on site well is attained.
There are two piezometers in observation wells on
and adjacent to the site as well. If water has
accumulated in these wells, that water will be
analyzed. These analysis will form the basis by
which potential site contamination will be com-
pared.
There is no Surface water within a quarter- mile
of the site.
Leachate samples from a similar operation have
been obtained and will be used to compare with
the present site groundwater quality.
J. Calcutation of a site water balance ,
* Because the site has been excavated for recovery
of sand and gravel, the entire surface area and
portion of the adjacent roadway to the west drain
onto the site. A sump was installed in the south-
ern one third of the property to collect and allow
pumping of this water off site to the east.
Kaldveer has estimated that the drainage area
consists of approximately 250, 000 square feet.
About ten percent of the site is roofed structure
area with 100 percent run-off.
The percentage of infiltration was determined from
Tables in "The Water Encyclopedia" ( 1970) There
is approximately 70 to 80 percent rUn-off from the
site. Infiltration is accelerated at the sump
area by virtue of the head pressure imposed by
ponding.
Kaldveer estimated that of an average yearly
rainfall of 30 inches approximately 470, 000 cubic
feet of water is discharged. Conversely, about
155, 000 cubic feet infiltrates the soil on site.
These values will vary depending on evaporation
and surface storage. Vegetation is insignificant
to the water balance.
k. Conceptual design of a ground water and surface
water monitoring system, including proposed instal-
lation methods for these devices and where
applicable a vadose zone monitoring plan ;
* The groundwater monitoring system will consist of
observation wells : two at the northeast corner of
the site and the third off-site near the low por-
tion of the adjacent terrain. Groundwater will
be pumped from the well and periodic samples
obtained for testing of water quality. The
observation wells will be monitored for vadose
zone water buildup.
Surface water from the composting operations will
be collected in a detention pond and recycled to
the compost by sprinkling. During periods of high
rainfall any overflow will be highly diluted and
shunted into an infiltration bed prepared for that
purpose. An observation well is located downslope
to monitor the infiltration bed' s function.
The location of the systems described above has
been provided in the drawings presented pre-
vioulsy.
1. Land use in the area, including nearby residences ;
The area to the immediate north of the property
is commercial/light industrial. Further north and
to the west are residential subdivisions. To the
east, the area is commercial/light industrial with
scattered residences. To the south and south-
southwest are commercial/industrial tracts includ-
ing the Arlington Municipal Airport.
M. Topography of the site and drainage patterns.
* The site is essentially flat. The maximum
elevation difference between the northern portion
and the southern portion, is five feet. No
established drainage channels were identified on
site. However the surface water flow is in a
north-south direction.
Other Requirements
I. Submit two copies of complete application (refer to
instructions for further detail ) .
2. Attach a check, made payable to Snohomish Health
District, for the application review fee (see instrUc—
tions or current fee schedule to determine fee) .

ARLINGTON COMPOSTING OPERATION
DRAINAGE, SETTLEMENT AND INFILTRATION SYSTEMS
WE-1029-01-035
I. INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared to provide the following information:
• Water quality of the effluent from an existing composting operation;
• Preliminary subdrain system for the asphaltic surface containing the compost at
the Arlington site.
• Surface drainage and collector system for the effluent from the composting
operation at the Arlington site.
• Infiltration bed design to dispose of the excess runoff at the Arlington site.
These items were proposed in our letter dated December 20, 1990. The parameters for
the various design items were provided by Bassett Western in conversations since that
date.
The area encompassed by the composting operations includes slightly over two acres
according to the drawing provided by you on December 27, 1990. Our design basis has
been on 88,000 square feet which provides an over-design factor to cover underestimated
elements such as rainfall, evaporation and absorption.
These design elements should be reviewed while taking into consideration all components
of the operation. The proposed dimensions appear to be optimum for construction
purposes.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The proposed Arlington Composting Operations are located 19819 67th Avenue
Northeast in Snohomish County, Washington (Figure 1). The site is located in an
abandoned borrow pit from which a thickness of up to forty feet of sand and gravel has
been removed since the mid 1940's.
The site is located between 67th Avenue NE, and the Burlington Northern railroad. It
is approximately one mile south of Arlington and about one-half mile east of the
Arlington Airport. The site is nearly surrounded by wood products industry plants.
There are several industrial plants in the vicinity that are capable of contaminating the
soil and groundwater.

WE-1029-01-035
Page two
The relief of the site is controlled by the Burlington Northern tracks located along the
eastern property line. The track forms a level grade along the eastern limit of the
property with the northern 200 feet on the site level with the tracks. The site surface
drops downward for a distance of about 300 feet to a depression about 20 feet below the
track level. The south end of the property rises again to track level at the access road
to the mill.
Much of the site is covered by structures which enclosed the plug mill operations.
Conveyers, tanks, and lumber racks emerge from several walls of these structures. Most
of the outside yard area has been or is being used as storage for used equipment and used
oil and resin. Most of the liquid and solidified resin which was stored in barrels has
been removed since our initial visit. More site details regarding contamination will be
reported in the Phase II environmental report.
The northend of the site where the composting operation is to take place has been used
as a log and wood chip storage area since cessation of the borrow operations. The
proposed composting area is covered by up to two feet of wood chips and bark which is
underlain by quarry spalls.
III. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
The composting operation will encompass the northern 320 feet of the wedge-shaped site.
This area will represent slightly more than two acres (about 88,000 square feet). The
entire surface will be graded to remove the organics, and a drainage system should be
laid down followed by an asphaltic layer. The compost will be mounded on the asphalt.
The composting operation requires intermittent mixing or blending of the materials.
Frequent wetting to aid breakdown and to prevent spontaneous combustion is required.
Excess water will emerge as effluent to be captured by a terminal drain and led to a
detention pond. We recommend that the water in the detention pond be recirculated into
the compost.
During rainy periods, the effluent may exceed the capacity of the settlement pond. At
these times overflow should be diverted into an infiltration bed to allow seepage into the
ground.
Overflow seepage should be sufficiently diluted as not to pose a threat to the groundwater
system which is located at least forty-five feet below the bottom of the infiltration bed.
The effluent will be monitored at intervals to ensure that contaminants are not introduced
to the groundwater.
This report provides the design details for the drainage system.

IV. EFFLUENT ANALYSIS
Effluent from a typical composting operation was obtained from the Maltby Operation,
Snohomish County. The following tests were requested and performed on one typical
sample:
• Chlorinated Herbicides
• Organophosphorus Pesticides
• Seven Metals
• Turbidity
• Fecal Coliform
• Dissolved Oxygen
• pH
• Sulfate
• Conductivity
• Chloride
• Nitrite-Nitrate
• Nitrogen as Ammonia
• Total Organic Carbon
• Total Dissolved Solids
The results of these tests (Appendix A) indicate that the effluent is essentially free of
EPA-registered contaminants. No detectable amount of herbicides or pesticides was
found. No detectable amount of arsenic was found. The heavy metals were present in
quantities of less than 0.7 parts per million with the exception of iron which was present
with 17 parts per million. None of the metals attained EPA DW levels.
The following laboratory tests are recommended to establish baseline in the new
composting operation. The sample results from Maltby are listed. None of the test
results are above allowable limits but the results could change if control is not
maintained.
The test are:
Ammonia 0.74 ppm
Chloride 1000 ppm
Conductivity 2,500,000 mmho/cm
Dissolved Oxygen None detected (not favorable)
Nitrate-Nitrite 1.2 ppm
pH 6.4 (slightly acid)
Sulfate 28 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids 3,900 ppm (moderate)
Fecal Coliform 1,600 ppm (moderate)
Total Organic Carbon 430 ppm
Turbidity 5500 ppm (high)

WE-1029-01-035
Page four
A rise in atmospheric temperature is likely to raise the fecal coliform count and make the
effluent slightly more acid. These changes may require modest treatment of the effluent
in the detention pond by chlorination or alkalinization. Aeration of the effluent will
increase the dissolved oxygen if required. The remaining components will be heavily
dependent on the composition of the compost itself.
We recommend that a groundwater sample be obtained from the existing well located in
the northeast corner of the property after it is cleaned, disinfected, and rehabilitated.
Since no groundwater was encountered in the two borings drilled for the Phase H
environmental work, it is important that this well sampling be carried out to verify that
no groundwater contamination takes place during the composting operation.
V. SUBDRAIN LAYOUT
Since the composting operation is to be conducted on an asphalt surface and heavy
equipment is to be used to turn the compost, sub-grade drainage should be designed into
the pad. The attached subgrade drainage system (Figure 2 and 3) is provided and should
be used if the subgrade soils are soft and contain a high silt and clay content.
We recommend that a subdrain consisting of a four-inch, perforated, PVC pipe
surrounded by 7/8-to-1 1/2 inch washed gravel in a twelve-inch square cross-section
trench be installed on 50-foot intervals under the site. If the subgrade soil exposed is
obviously granular, individual branches of the subdrain may be deleted. We suggest that
the geotechnical engineer be present in the field to assist with the decision to delete parts
of the subdrain.
VI. SURFACE DRAINAGE
Because of the relatively heavy rainfall in this region and the need to wet the compost,
we recommend that the asphalt surface conform to the present grade of the existing
surface. Natural drainage extends from the high point on the site near the northwest
corner to a point about 75 feet west of the railroad track spur approximately 320 feet
south of the northern property line. The slope of the surface should be at least 0.005 feet
per foot (0.5 feeE per 100 feet). Additionally, the area should be sloped internally so
drainage from each quadrant can be controlled. The drainage configuration is shown
approximately in Figures 4 and 5. The divides between cells should be constructed in
a manner that will not obstruct the equipment operating on site.
VII. DETENTION SYSTEM
Run-off from the asphaltic surface should be collected along the downslope edge of the
composing area into a swale constructed as a four-foot wide, six-inch deep trough (Figure
6). The swale should conduct the surface run-off into the detention pond.
Xaidveer Associates
WE-1029-01-035
Page five
The detention pond has been sized to retain a two-day volume of effluent discharge or
about 800 cubic feet. The pond size for this volume will be approximately twelve feet
wide, twenty-one feet long, and three feet deep. The pond should be lined with heavy
10 mil fabric, bermed, and fenced.
The criteria used to determine the detention pond size are as follows:
Surface Area 88,000 square feet
Rainfall 30 inches/year
Evaporation 15 inches/year
Added Water 26 inches/year
Absorbed Water 150,000 cubic feet
Estimated Average Compost Volume 375,000 cubic feet
The calculated total volume of water added to the composted material is estimated at
300,000 cubic feet. The water absorbed prior to final processing will amount to about
150,000 cubic feet with a net estimated yearly discharge of 150,000 cubic feet per year.
This is equal to about 410 cubic feet per day. The detention pond should be sized for
twice this volume or about 800 cubic feet (30 cubic yards).
The membrane used to line the pond should be ultraviolet-resistant, plastic sheeting of
10 mil thickness. Approximately eighty square yards will be required to line the pond
and cover the berms surrounding the pond.
We recommend that the pond contain an automatic water level pump with a capacity of
about 30 gallons per minute which can pump the collected effluent back onto the
compost on a daily basis. At this pumping rate, the pond will be emptied in slightly
more than an hour-and-a-half.
In periods of heavy rainfall the detention pond may fill too rapidly. To control the
overflow we recommend that an over flow discharge be installed to the infiltration bed
located downslopc. The overflow discharge should consist of a screened six-inch pipe
intake set slightly above the daily pumping level. Overflow water should be able to flow
into the intake and discharge into a series of perforated horizontal pipes suspended above
the top of the infiltration bed.

WE-1029-01-035

VIII. INFILTRATION BED
The infiltration bed was designed to collect and infiltrate a volume of water equal to that
of the detention pond. It is expected that the infiltration pond will accept only subdrain
discharge and severe rainfall overflow from the compost operation. The amount of
contaminated water is expected to be minor.
The design of the infiltration bed has been based on an assumed permeability of 1W
cm/sec (0.28 ft/day) for the dense, medium to fine-grained sand found on site. At this
permeability, the bottom surface area of about 3,000 square feet will be required. this
area may be reduced if percolation tests are run and the permeability was determined to
be higher than predicted.
The infiltration bed will have to be sized with dimensions of approximately 50 x 60 feet
by about two feet deep. The bottom foot would be filled with washed gravel (7/8 to 1
1/2 inch size), and covered by silt fence geotextile, and about six inches of coarse sand.
The floor of the bed should be level. If the bed is long and narrow, the pipe injecting
fluid should be suspended, perforated and located along the center line. All flows in the
effluent system except water going back to the compost should be by gravity.
IX. CONCLUSIONS
This effluent system has been designed to eliminate any waste water discharge to off-site
areas. All infiltrated water is expected to be clean and monitored on a quarterly basis
to ensure its quality. The detention pond should be monitored for bacteria and pH. The
water may be treated with a chlorinator and/or lime as required. By sprinkling the
discharge into the infiltration bed some aeration will be accomplished and improvement
of quality may be attained.
We recommend that the effluent and the well water be monitored several times annually
to ensure that no contamination is occurring. Also, testing of the effluent may be an
excellent public relations/advertising tool for sales.
X. LIMITATIONS
This work has been performed utilizing information obtained through site studies, with
information from Bassett Western and Marysville Paving, laboratory testing, and with
the assumptions cited in the text. The conclusions and recommendations are professional
opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar condition
in this area. No other warranty is expressed or implied.

We recommend that Kaldveer Associates observe significant potions of the construction
to ensure that site conditions are as implied by present observations and to assist in
downsizing the recommended facilities if conditions are better than anticipated.

acid garden debris, we would expand further South on this location so as to
allow far additional composting/handling space. Current plans do not
indicate that Bassett Western will utilize the entire site fat, this
pUr,�Tose. Bassett Western will also mix, screen, and package soil-like
materials on this original portion of the site.
8. List any environmental information you know about, that has been
prepared, at- will be prepared, directly related to this proposal.
Studies to discover current water tables, their cleanliness,

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
EARTH
a. General description of the site (circle one) :
Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other:
b. What is the steepest slope on the site? (approximate percent slope)
The steepest slopes found on the site are approximately 45% and
are found between E7th ave. and the large existing building.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site? (for example:
clay, sand gravel, peat, muck). If you know the classification of
agricultural soils specify them and note any prime farmland.
Flit run gravel is found throughout the site.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe:
None known.
e. Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling
or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
A berm of the type and size required by The City of Arlington will
be erected along the portion of 67th Ave. which allows sufficient spare,
as well as along the North line of the property. Material for this berm
will be collected from on—site sources during the preparation of the areas
slated to be asphalted If the required quantities are not available,
additional soils will be imported from local sites as available. Grading
will be contained to the operation providing proper slopes/angles to
asphalt.
F. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction or, use? If
so, generally describe
No erosion would be expected due to the construction or use of this
relatively flat site.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered by impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example: asphalt or buildings)?
Approximately 50% of the site will be covered by either asphalt or
buildings.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other, impacts to
the earth if any:
Asphalt will be used in conjunction with water containment
facilities to control run-off from the compost facility.
AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal
(i. e. , dust, automobile odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction
and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known:
Odors of the type found in any farming community, closely
associated with the smell of silage, will be emitted from the compost
piles. The quantities of odor lessen measurably as the windrows age.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor, that may affect
your proposal? If so, generally describe:
Although they may not affect this proposal, other local sources of
odor or dust would be the county shop, the county transfer station and
nUmer•01_1s log mills located in the immediate vicinity. Added to the oclor
produced on this site, these would, or should not be considered to be
above any allowable limits set forth by the Puget Sound Air Quality
Control Agency.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to
air, if any:
The use of asphalt has been shown to severely reduce the amount of
fugitive dust allowed to escape from a site. Additionally, the use of
water captured during the wetter months will be used to keep compost piles
moist, which will have the effect of reducing odors.
.3. WATER
a. SURFACE:
1. ) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of
the site including year-round and seasonal streams, salt water, lakes,
ponds, wet-lands) ? If yes, describe type and provide names. If
appropriate, state what stream or, river it flows into:
No open waters are noted on the site, or in the immediate
vicinity with the exception of the stream located approximately 1/2 mile
away that flows through the Pioneer Ponds. (Name unknown).
. ) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within
. ) feet) the described waters? If yes, describe and attach available
plans.
No work will occur near open waters.
3. ) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wet-lands and indicate the area
of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material.
No work will occur near open waters or wet-lands
4. ) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or
diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities
if known.
Surface water diversions will be limited to collecting water
from asphalted areas as earlier described.
5. ) Does the proposal lie within a 100 year flood plain? If so, note
location on the site plan.
It is believed that none of the site is within a 100 year flood
plain.
b. ) Does the proposal involve any discharge of waste materials to
surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume
of discharge.
No waste materials will be discharged to Surface waters.
b. GROUND
1. ) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to
ground water? Give general description, purpose, approximate quantities
if known.
Water will not be discharged to the groundwater, although some
water may be extracted for the purpose- of moistening the compost piles.
Quantities are not known at this time, but, are expected to be very
limited due to the collection of run-off waters.
C. ) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the grOLind
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage,
industrial, containing the following chemicals. . .agricUltUral ; etc. )
Describe the general size of the system, the number of houses to be served
(if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are
expected to serve.
The site is expected to be connected to by-passing sewage
system, therefor no other waste materials will be discharged into the
ground, with the exception of the current mobile home located on the site
which is expected to continue to be served by the existing septic system.
This, while maybe unusual for a site served by a sewage system, will allo,.'r
the continued Occupancy of the mobile home by the elderly gentleman
currently residing on the property. Dis-allowance of this request would
cause this individual to find other quarters as no plans are existing to
hook that facility to the city system.
c. WATER RUNOFF
1. ) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method
of collection and disposal, if any, (include quantities, if known) . Where
will this water flow? Will the water flow into other waters? If so,
describe
The source of runoff will be storm waters as well as water
applied to the compost piles during the drier months. These waters will
be collected from asphalt, into tanks which will be stored until needed
for use on the compost. Evaporation will be the principal means of
removing water from the site, which can account for as much as 50% under
normal COTlditions. Normal conditions does not describe the interior of a
compost pile where temperatures will hover between 140 and 160 degrees F. ,
requiring large quantities of water to maintain microbial life.
C. ) Could waste materials enter ground or Surface waters? If so,
generally describe
Waste materials will be kept from entering the water table with
the use of asphalt.
3. ) proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and
runoff water impacts, if any.

MONITORING PROCEDURES
As the incoming debris approaches the drop point it shall be
visually inspected for its content. Plastics or other un—
desirables will not be accepted. After initial shredding the
material will be Visually inspected for particle size to provide
the most effective composting as well as to provide for a high
quality end product. Monitoring attention will then be applied
t❑ the effluent from the compost windrows. Permanent wells have
been placed on the site in addition to an existing 70 foot water
well. An asphalt layer is to be installed with particular
attention paid to the direction of surface flow. All surface
waters will be collected. A sub—surface drain system will be
installed as a fail—safe in the event of Surface penetration.
Water collected from either point will be channeled into an
impermeable detention area. The water may then be further
utilized to moisten the compost piles, or be diverted into an
infiltration bed. Inspections of these area are to be recorded
and reported to both Snohomish County Solid Waste and the
Washington State Department of Ecology. (Attachment B-3)
Laboratory testing is to be conducted as required by either
authority.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
All known or available measures to prevent both soil and
ground water contamination are to be utilized. Pre—construction
design has been completed by a qualified, professional organiza—
tion. (Attachment R-2) The procedures Outlined in attachment R
will be followed. An additional monitoring well has been drilled
off of the proposed site, but on the same property. This well
is located at the lowest point on the property and will also be
periodically tested. It is understood that there is an
existing monitoring well located on the property of the nearest
northern neighbor, Northwest Hardwoods. Another monitoring well
is believed to be located on the property of the nearest
western neighbor, J. H. Baxter. Large stockpiles of finished
product are not expected to be allowed to accumulate on the
site.
SITE MAINTENANCE
A general site inspection (Attachment B-3) is to be
accomplished at the beginning of each operating day. This
inspection is expected to reveal any major changes in the water
collection system (rapid level reduction) , failure of the in—
filtration bed (silt build up) , or a failure of the pumping
station returning water to the compost piles. The designed
water detention system is to be equipped with a pre—clean area
which is to allow for the settling Out of larger particles. This
area will be cleaned on an as—needed basis to allow for proper
water flow. The infiltration bed includes a 6 inch layer of sand
that will be replaced as needed to provide for proper per—
colation.
FIRE
In the event of fire, the most effective means to exter—
minate, is to move the material to allow the center of the pile
to be exposed. Our experience has shown that pumping water on
the top of the pile has little effect. Fire, in bulk materials
generally results in a "smoldering mass" as opposed to open
flames.
SITE CLOSURE
The Plug Mill site is expected to be on—going with a final
capacity, or closure date not anticipated. If a date were chosen
to accept the final load of material, a plan would be established
to include the removal of all remaining products as well as all
processing equipment. The monitoring wells would remain
available.

FLAN OF OPERATION
FOR THE
ARLINGTON PLUG MILL COMPOSTING OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This site is established to receive yard and garden debris
for~ the purpose of composting. Incoming materials are to be
handled in a manner which will produce high quality re—usable
prodi.tcts, while monitoring and maintaining 01.tr surrounding
environment. These products will be marketed in a fair and
reasonable manner throughout the marketplace.
SITE SELECTION
The PLUG MILL site was selected only after certain criteria
were verified:
Depth of water table
Surrounding land use
Soil permeability/percolation
Proximity to surface waters
lack of prior site pollution
ACCEPTANCE AND HANDLING OF WASTES
Waste handling will be restricted to what is generated by
normal yard and garden care. Grass clippings, leaves and var—
ious pr-unings are to be accepted primarily from major contract
haulers and municipalities. These materials will then be
classified, shredded, blended and windrowed. Continuous monitor—
ing of interior temperature and Moisture content will dictate
ho8w and when the piles are to be aerified. When the debris has
bee8n completely composted, it shall be finaled and prepared for
marketing. The majority of the product will be disbursed under
the name COMP—PLETE, which is a registered product of Bassett
Western, Inc. See Attachments M-4 and B
SAFETY
Safety procedures are to be followed at all times. Standard
safety items such as back—up alarms on all vehicles are to be
kept in working order. Particular areas are to be specified as
"Equipment Only" zones, where as no man shall be allowed on foot.
Certain individuals will be required to maintain a Current first
aid certification. Emergency phone numbers and the site address
will be posted in close proximity to each phone.

Dear Mr. Hargrove:
I have reviewed your letter of January 28 regarding a proposed facility to
compost yard and garden debris. My understanding is that your company
would own and operate the site and that it would be located within the city of
Arlington.
The Snohomish County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan Update
(January 1991) proposed development of composting, materials processing,
and landfill disposal facilities for "wood waste and construction and demolition
debris", a term which includes yard and garden debris. The Plan Update
contemplated a combined facility to be sited by the County. However, the
language provided flexibility as to ownership and the question of whether
there should be a single or separate facilities. The key language (see page 20-
5) states: "Proceed as rapidly as possible to site and develop composting,
materials processing, and landfill disposal facilities for wood waste and
construction and demolition debris, with the goal of returning as much
material as possible to beneficial use." Subsequent to its adoption, the County
Council passed Motion No. 90-006, which halted the effort to site a combined
County facility, and encouraged consideration of private sector initiatives for
handling compostable materials.
Therefore, it is my conclusion that your proposed facility is compatible with
the CSWMP Update, and with stated County Council intent.
I would request that you keep our office informed as to your progress. We get
numerous inquiries regarding where compostable material can be taken, and
are ready to add your facility to our list when it opens.
Sincerely,,,

ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT, PHASE 2
ARLINGTON PLUG MILL
SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON
I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our Environmental Site Assessment, Phase 2, for the
Arlington Plug Mill site, 19819 - 67th Avenue N.E., in Snohomish County, Washington.
The purpose of this investigation was to detect the presence of hazardous materials in the soil
or groundwater under the site. Five boreholes varying in depth between nine and thirty-five feet
were drilled in the course of this assessment.
II. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work in this study, Environmental Site Assessment, Phase 2, consisted of the
following tasks:
- Drilling five boreholes to a maximum depth of thirty-five feet on January 2,
1991;
- Description of physical properties and characteristics of the subsurface soil
conditions including groundwater level and possible seasonal variations in the
level;
- Check for contamination of subsurface soil and groundwater;
- Check for contamination of water in the infiltration sump;
- Recommendation for site remediation and cleanup;
- Preparation of this written report.
III. SITE DESCRIPTION
The site encompasses approximately 5 acres and consists of a wedge-shaped property. The site
is bounded to the north by a commercial/industrial development, to the east by Burlington
Northern Railroad, to the west and to the south by Stillaguamish Highway (67th Avenue N.E.).
The site was newly cleared forested land prior to 1947. Sand and gravel was removed from the
property to a depth estimated at slightly more than forty feet. After removal of the economical
mineral deposits, the property was utilized as a log storage area, wood processing plant and
more recently as a plug mill where plywood veneer was processed. The structures on the
Xoldveer Associates
Arlington Plug Mill WE-1025-OIA-039
January 28, 1991 Page 2
property were probably constructed prior to the sixties.
The site relief is slight with a gradual slope to the south. The bounding railroad tracks to the east
form a high, steep embankment along the property line. The borrow excavation formed an
enclosed low area about 200 feet from the southern boundary of the property. All drainage
within the property limits is collected at this point and excess water is pumped eastward over
the railway tracks.
IV. SITE HISTORY
Information regarding the history and land use of the site was gathered though interviews with
persons having specific knowledge of the past site utilization, review of the Chain of Title
Report, and interpretation of aerial photographs of the site locality dated from 1947-1989. Based
on these sources, a chronology of site use has been established and presented in a seperate
report, Preliminary Site Assessment, dated January 21 , 1991.
V. FIELD EXPLORATION
Our field exploration was performed on January 2, 1991. Subsurface conditions at the site were
explored by drilling five boreholes to a maximum depth of thirty-five below the existing grade.
The borings were drilled using a truck-mounted Acker drill rig. Continuous-flight, hollow-stem
augers were used to advance and support the boreholes during sampling.
The borings were located by taping from property corners. The location of the borings should
be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. The approximate
location of the borings is shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2.
The field exploration was continuously monitored by a geologist from our firm who classified
the soils encountered, maintained a log of each boring, obtained representative samples,
measured groundwater levels, and observed pertinent site features. Representative soil samples
were placed in closed glass jars and returned to North Creek Analytical laboratory for further
chemical testing.
All samples were visually classified in the field in general accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System which is presented on Plate Al, Legend. The boring logs are presented
on Figures B-1 through B-5. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and
the results of the laboratory examination and selective tests of field samples. The stratification
lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In actuality, the
transitions may be more gradual.

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed at selected intervals in general accordance with
ASTM Test Designation D-1586. The split-spoon sample was driven with a one hundred forty
(140) pound hammer freely falling thirty (30) inches. The number of blows required to drive
the last twelve (12) inches of penetration is called the "N-value". This value helps to charac-
terize the site soils consistency.
V. SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS
The site was explored by drilling five borings at the approximate location shown on the Site
Plan, Figure 2. Please refer to the logs of the borings, Figures B-1 through B-5, for a more
detailed description of the conditions encountered. The following is a generalized description of
the subsurface conditions encountered.
All our exploratory borings encountered medium-dense and dense medium-grained sand with
some silt and gravel. This sand appears to have a wide lateral distribution, as it was encountered
in all our borings. In the northern portion of the site, which is covered with wood chips, our
borings encountered about two feet of a mixture of quarry spalls (basalt fragments), stream
gravel, and wood chips. Below this layer is the same sand described earlier.
VI. GROUNDWATER
Our exploratory borings, which extended to a maximum depth of thirty-five feet did not
encounter significant groundwater seepage. A trace of wet soil have been encountered in the
lower two feet of boring B-l. Soil samples were noted to be moist to wet occasionally at a depth
of about thirty-two feet. Observation wells were installed in borings, B1 and B-2, and water
level readings were taken to monitor for an established groundwater level. The results of these
readings are not yet definitive. Additional readings should be taken before construction activities
begin.
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Soil samples that were collected during our subsurface exploration were submitted for chemical
testing by North Creek Analytical, a Washington State approved Laboratory. Chemical tests
consisted of EPA Method 8015 Modified and EPA Method 418.1 for total hydrocarbon and oil
and grease, respectively. Test results are presented in the boring logs, B-1, B-2, and B-3 at the
appropriate sample depth. The reported results from the testing laboratory along with the chain-
of-custody are also attached.

A cleanup level of 200 ppm for total petroleum hydrocarbons in soils, and 15 ppm in water, was
established by the Washington Department of Ecology for spills. The results of the chemical
testing indicate no detectable hydrocarbons present in the soil. A very low concentration of oil
and grease, 9.2 ppm, was detected which is below the Washington Department of Ecology
cleanup guidelines.
VIII. UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS
We understand that at least one underground fuel storage tank may exist on this site. We did not
encounter any surface evidence for its presence. However, because of the potential age of this
tank, if present, it is possible some leakage may have occurred in the immediate vicinity of the
tank. We recommend, that you plan to have additional hydrocarbon analysis performed at the
time this tank is found and removed. We will be available to provide the appropriate monitoring
of tank removal and testing of soil, if requested.
Your contractor should be aware of the presence of this tank. Caution is recommended while
excavating near the tank, and the excavation should be done in accordance with State and
Federal regulations.
IX. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
In this Environmental Site Assessment, Phase 2, study, areas of environmental concern within
the site were addressed. The following conclusions and recommendations are based on
exploratory boring, chemical testing on selected samples, and our interpretation of the results,
along with information on actual and potential sources of soil and ground water contamination
in the site vicinity, as described in the preliminary site assessment.
There are potential contaminant sources on the subject property. These sources are petroleum
soil staining, barrels of solidified resin, barrels of hydrocarbon fluids and possibly hydraulic
fluid and other unidentified substances. The surface hydrocarbon contaminated-soils will need
to be excavated and replaced with clean backfill. The hydrocarbon contaminated soils may be
land-farmed on site at the convenience of the owner.
The hydrocarbon contaminated soil is located adjacent to the buildings located in the north-
eastern portion of the site. Specifically, at the south end of said building. Extensive oil staining
of the concrete and asphalt surfaces can be seen between the railway tracks and the buildings
located in the central portion of the property. In this area as well there are several barrels of
hydraulic oil and hardened resin. Many of these barrels have spilled over the concrete surfaces.
;Caldveer Associates
Arlington Plug Mill WE-1025-OIA-039
January 28, 1991 Page 5
We recommend that all of these barrels be removed as well as the steel machinery. After the
removal is done, all of the exposed soil surfaces should be stripped to clean soil exposures. The
concrete surfaces and soil may be treated by biological land farming to remove the hydrocarbon
contaminants or they can be disposed.of off-site.
Elsewhere on the site we found small exposures generally about four feet in diameter that should
be scraped up and farmed. Finally, the water collection sump was mildly contaminated. We
suggest that the sump be cleaned by removing about a one foot thickness of soil from the surface
of the walls and the bottom of the pit. The pit may be then backfilled or replaced with an oil
separator tank and continue to be used as a drainage sump.
Because of the great volume of old machinery scattered across the site, we recommend that a
surface reconnaissance be performed after the machinery is removed. This reconnaissance would
be useful in finding additional spills and the reported underground storage tank.
Excavation of the hydrocarbon-stained soil and removal of the stored chemicals are expected to
be sufficient to remove hazardous materials from the site.
X. LIMITATIONS
Our services have been performed in accordance with generally accepted engineering and
environmental principles and practices within the area at the time of our investigation. No other
warranty, either expressed or implied as to the professional advice provided is made. The
analysis and conclusions contained in this report are based on the site conditions as they existed
at the time of our reconnaissance and subsurface exploration. It should be recognized that some
limitations are inherent in the evaluation of subsurface conditions and that certain conditions may
not be detected by the exploratory borings. If such changes do occur, we should be advised so
that we can review our report in light of those changes.

PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AGREEMENT
This agreement is entered into by and between the City of
Arlington, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the
"City", and Bassett Western, hereinafter referred to as the
"Tenant" .
WHEREAS, this agreement is executed pursuant to Chapter 43 .21
RCW, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) , and Title 18,
Arlington Municipal Code, to provide for mitigation of existing and
known environmental impacts associated with the development
hereinafter described. This agreement does not preclude any
evaluation and determination by the City upon later actions or
proposals undertaken by the Tenant which may require a
determination of significance and environmental review under SEPA
and
WHEREAS, the Tenant is seeking to operate a facility that
composts yard and garden debris, as well as mix, screen and package
soil-like materials under approval of a Snohomish Health District
permit for a waste recycling permit at a site further described as:
See attached exhibit A.
WHEREAS, the City has made findings that this project will
result in probable significant adverse environmental impacts which
require the Tenant to either prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement or to modify the submitted environmental application by
entering into an agreement to mitigate such impacts;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and the Tenant agree that the
following mitigation measures shall be employed by the Tenant to
ensure that probable significant adverse environmental impacts
created by the proposed project are minimized or eliminated.
1. Water quality shall be tested and reported on a regular basis.
An on site storm drainage system will be required to protect
groundwater. Design to be approved by the City Engineer.
2 . The processing and composting of yard and garden debris shall
be designed to control or eliminate adverse impacts caused by
odor and steam. Design is subject to approval by the City
Engineer prior to operation.
3 . Site shall be appropriately landscaped and bermed to prevent
any adverse impacts from noise generated from equipment
operated on the site. Landscape plan subject to approval of
the City Engineer and must be in place prior to operation of
the facility.
4. Pile of composted materials can generate high levels of heat
which lead to combustion, therefore adequate fire protection
on site shall be required, as per the Fire Chief, prior to
operation of the facility.
5. The tenant shall be required to pay traffic mitigation fees
based on 30 trips per day at $50. 00 per trip.
6. The site was previously used as a log yard and therefore the
soils existing on the site contain debris relating to the
previous use. The tenant is in the process of screening the
soil on the site to remove large items of wood debris, etc.
In addition, as a part of the engineered storm drainage
system, test wells shall be located throughout the site for
sampling of run-off, as well as the existing water table for
levels of contaminates. Within the next 30 days the applicant
shall provide documentation regarding testing of the existing
well on the site, for the purpose of establishing beginning
test data.
7 . This mitigation agreement is by an environmental checklist for
the Bassett/Western facility . All other
operations/applications on the related site as owned,
operated and leased by the Jordan family doing business as
Sound Environmental Land Uses is subject to separate reviews.

4. Date checklist prepared: 11/14/90
I
`i. Agency requesting checklist : City of Arlington Planning Commission
S. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable) :
Bassett Western would begin groundwork durinq the month of November,
1990 so as to allow for operational start-up no later than Janua►•y .l ,
1991. This January opening would allow for approximately 2 112 months of
lesser than normal volumes. Total planned quantities could be reached as
early as May of 1991.
7. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansions, or further
activity related to or connected with this proposal?
Yes. Bassett Western intends to occupy the Northern-most 3 acres of
the subject site to begin. Dependant upon further federal, state, county
or local jurisdiction laws relating to the curb-side collection of yard
and garden debris, we would expand further South on this location so as to
allow for additional composting/handling space. Current plans do not
indicate that Bassett Western will utilize the entire site for this
purpose. Bassett Western will also mix, screen, and package soil-like
materials on this original portion of the site.
8. List any environmental information you know about, that has been
prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal.
Studies to discover current water tables, their cleanliness,
direction of flow, as well as other local impacts on their condition are
being carried out.
9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental
approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by
your proposal? If yes, explain.
As of this date, no other applications are pending.
10. List any governmental approvals or permits that will be needed for
your proposal, if known:
A permit issued by the D.O. E. to allow composting of this nature is
to be applied for. Other permits may be required by Snohomish County
Solid Waste.
11. Give a brief, but complete description of your proposal, including the
proposed uses and size of the project and site. There are several
questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects
of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page.
The site consists of approximately 6 1/2 acres contained between
67th ave. N. E. , the Burlington Northern right of way, and the Southern
entry to Northwest Hardwoods. 3 acres of the site is considered for the
uses of composting yard and garden debris.
12. Location of your proposal. Give sufficient information for a person
to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a
street address, if any, and section, township and range, if known. If a
proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries
of the site. provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and
topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any
plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or
detailed plans submitted with any permit related to this checklist.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELE01ENTS
1. EARTH '
a. General description of the site (circle one) :
Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other:
b. What is the steepest slope on the site? (approximate percent slope)
The steepest slopes found on the site are approximately 45% and
are found between 67th ave. and the large existing building.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site? (for example:
clay, sand gravel, peat, muck) . If you know the classification of
agricultural soils specify them and note any prime farmland.
Flit run gravel is found throughout the site.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe:
None known.
e. Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling
or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
A berm of the type and size required by The City of Arlington will
be erected along the portion of 67th Ave. which allows sufficient space,
as well as along the North line of the property. Material for this berm
will be collected from on-site sources during the preparation of the areas
slated to be asphalted. If the required quantities are not available,
additional soils will be imported from local sites as available. Grading
will be contained to the operation providing proper slopes/angles to
asphalt.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction or use? If
so, generally describe
No erosion would be expected due to the construction or use of this
relatively flat site.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered by impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example: asphalt or buildings)?
Approximately 50% of the site will be covered by either asphalt or
buildings.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to
the earth if any:
Asphalt will be used in conjunction with water containment
facilities to control run—off from the compost facility.
c. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal
(i. e. , dust, automobile odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction
and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known:
Odors of the type found in any farming community, closely
associated with the smell of silage, will be emitted from the compost
piles. The quantities of odor lessen measurably as the windrows age.
b. Are there any off—site sources of emissions or odor that may affect
Your proposal': If so, generally describe:
Although they may not affect this proposal, other local sources of
odor or dust would be the county shop, the county transfer station and
numerous log mills located in the immediate vicinity. Added to the odor
produced on this site, these would, or should not be considered to be
above any allowable limits set forth by the Puget Sound Air Quality
Control Agency.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to
air, if any:
The use of asphalt has been shown to severely reduce the amount of
fugitive dust allowed to escape from a site. Additionally, the use of
water- captured during the wetter months will be used to keep compost piles
moist, which will have the effect of reducing odors.
3. WATER
a. SURFACE:
1. ) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of
the site including_ year—round and seasonal streams, salt water, lakes,
ponds, wet—lands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If
appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into:
No open waters are noted on the site, or in the immediate
vicinity v)ith the exception of the stream located approximately 1/ mile
away that flows through the Pioneer Ponds. (Name unknown) .
_. ) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within
2'00 feet) the described waters? If yes, describe and attach available
plans.
No work will Occur near open waters.
3. ) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wet—lands and indicate the area
of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material.
No work will occur near open waters or wet—lands
4. ) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or
diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities
if known.
Surface water diversions will be limited to collecting water,
from asphalted areas as earlier described.
5. ) Does the proposal lie within a 100 year flood plain? If so, note
location on the site plan.
It is believed that none of the site is within a 100 year flood
plain.
6. ) Does the proposal involve any discharge of waste materials to
surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume
of discharge.
No waste materials will be discharged to surface waters.
b. GROUND
1. ) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to
ground water? Give general description, purpose, approximate quantities
if known.
Water will not be discharged to the groundwater, although some
water may be extracted for the purpose of moistening the compost piles.
Quantities are not known at this time, but, are expected to be very
limited due to the collection of run—off waters.
2. ) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage,
industrial, containing the following chemicals. . . agricultural ; etc. )
Describe the general size of the system, the number of houses to be served
(if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are
expected to serve.
The site is expected to be connected to by—passing sewage
system, therefor no other waste materials will be discharged into the
ground, with the exception of the current mobile home located on the site
which is expected to continue to be served by the existing septic system.
This, while maybe unusual for a site served by a sewage system, will allow
the continued occupancy of the mobile home by the elderly gentleman
currently residing on the property. Dis—allowance of this request would
cause this individual to find other quarters as no plans are existing to
hook that facility to the city system.
C. WATER RUNOFF
1. ) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method
of collection and disposal, if any, (include quantities, if known). Where
will this water flow? Will the water flow into other waters? If so,
describe
The source of runoff will be storm waters as well as water
applied to the compost piles during the drier months. These waters will
be collected from asphalt, into tanks which will be stored until needed
for use on the compost. Evaporation will be the principal means of

' ARLINGTON COMPOSTING OPERATION
DRAINAGE, SETTLEMENT AND INFILTRATION SYSTEMS
WE-1029-01-035
I. INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared to provide the following information:
• Water quality of the effluent from an existing composting operation;
• Preliminary subdrain system for the asphaltic surface containing the compost at
the Arlington site.
• Surface drainage and collector system for the effluent from the composting
operation at the Arlington site.
• Infiltration bed design to dispose of the excess runoff at the Arlington site.
These items were proposed in our letter dated December 20, 1990. The parameters for
the various design items were provided by Bassett Western in conversations since that
date.
The area encompassed by the composting operations includes slightly over two acres
according to the drawing provided by you on December 27, 1990. Our design basis has
been on 88,000 square feet which provides an over-design factor to cover underestimated
elements such as rainfall, evaporation and absorption.
These design elements should be reviewed while taking into consideration all components
of the operation. The proposed dimensions appear to be optimum for construction
purposes.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The proposed Arlington Composting Operations are located 19819 67th Avenue
Northeast in Snohomish County, Washington (Figure 1). The site is located in an
abandoned borrow pit from which a thickness of up to forty feet of sand and gravel has
been removed since the mid 1940's.
The site is located between 67th Avenue NE, and the Burlington Northern railroad. It
is approximately one mile south of Arlington and about one-half mile east of the
Arlington Airport. The site is nearly surrounded by wood products industry plants.
There are several industrial plants in the vicinity that are capable of contaminating the
soil and groundwater.
Kaldveer Associates
WE-1029-01-035
Page two
The relief of the site is controlled by the Burlington Northern tracks located along the
eastern property line. The track forms a level grade along the eastern limit of the
property with the northern 200 feet on the site level with the tracks. The site surface
drops downward for a distance of about 300 feet to a depression about 20 feet below the
track level. The south end of the property rises again to track level at the access road
to the mill.
Much of the site is covered by structures which enclosed the plug mill operations.
Conveyers, tanks, and lumber racks emerge from several walls of these structures. Most
of the outside yard area has been or is being used as storage for used equipment and used
oil and resin. Most of the liquid and solidified resin which was stored in barrels has
been removed since our initial visit. More site details regarding contamination will be
reported in the Phase II environmental report.
The northend of the site where the composting operation is to take place has been used
as a log and wood chip storage area since cessation of the borrow operations. The
proposed composting area is covered by up to two feet of wood chips and bark which is
underlain by quarry spalls.
III. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
The composting operation will encompass the northern 320 feet of the wedge-shaped site.
This area will represent slightly more than two acres (about 88,000 square feet). The
entire surface will be graded to remove the organics, and a drainage system should be
laid down followed by an asphaltic layer. The compost will be mounded on the asphalt.
The composting operation requires intermittent mixing or blending of the materials.
Frequent wetting to aid breakdown and to prevent spontaneous combustion is required.
Excess water will emerge as effluent to be captured by a terminal drain and led to a
detention pond. We recommend that the water in the detention pond be recirculated into
the compost.
During rainy periods, the effluent may exceed the capacity of the settlement pond. At
these times overflow should be diverted into an infiltration bed to allow seepage into the
ground.
Overflow seepage should be sufficiently diluted as not to pose a threat to the groundwater
system which is located at least forty-five feet below the bottom of the infiltration bed.
The effluent will be monitored at intervals to ensure that contaminants are not introduced
to the groundwater.
�. This report provides the design details for the drainage system.

IV. EFFLUENT ANALYSIS
Effluent from a typical composting operation was obtained from the Maltby Operation,
Snohomish County. The following tests were requested and performed on one typical
sample:
• Chlorinated Herbicides
• Organophosphorus Pesticides
• Seven Metals
• Turbidity
• Fecal Coliform
• Dissolved Oxygen
• pH
• Sulfate
• Conductivity
'� • Chloride
• Nitrite-Nitrate
• Nitrogen as Ammonia
1 • Total Organic Carbon
J • Total Dissolved Solids
>� The results of these tests (Appendix A) indicate that the effluent is essentially free of
EPA-registered contaminants. No detectable amount of herbicides or pesticides was
found. No detectable amount of arsenic was found. The heavy metals were present in
quantities of less than 0.7 parts per million with the exception of iron which was present
with 17 parts per million. None of the metals attained EPA DW levels.
The following laboratory tests are recommended to establish baseline in the new
composting operation. The sample results from Maltby are listed. None of the test
results are above allowable limits but the results could change if control is not
maintained.
The test are:
rj pp
74. m
Ammonia 0
Chloride 1000 ppm
Conductivity 2,500,000 mmho/cm
1 Dissolved Oxygen None detected (not favorable)
Nitrate-Nitrite 1.2 ppm
pH 6.4 (slightly acid)
Sulfate 28 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids 3,900 ppm (moderate)
Fecal Coliform 1,600 ppm (moderate)
fTotal Organic Carbon 430 ppm
Turbidity 5500 ppm (high)

A rise in atmospheric temperature is likely to raise the fecal coliform count and make the
effluent slightly more acid. These changes may require modest treatment of the effluent
in the detention pond by chlorination or alkalinization. Aeration of the effluent will
increase the dissolved oxygen if required. The remaining components will be heavily
dependent on the composition of the compost itself.
We recommend that a groundwater sample be obtained from the existing well located in
the northeast corner of the property after it is cleaned, disinfected, and rehabilitated.
Since no groundwater was encountered in the two borings drilled for the Phase II
environmental work, it is important that this well sampling be carried out to verify that
no groundwater contamination takes place during the composting operation.
V. SUBDRAIN LAYOUT
Since the composting operation is to be conducted on an asphalt surface and heavy
equipment is to be used to turn the compost, sub-grade drainage should be designed into
the pad. The attached subgrade drainage system (Figure 2 and 3) is provided and should
be used if the subgrade soils are soft and contain a high silt and clay content.
We recommend that a subdrain consisting of a four-inch, perforated, PVC pipe
surrounded by 7/8-to-1 1/2 inch washed gravel in a twelve-inch square cross-section
trench be installed on 50-foot intervals under the site. If the subgrade soil exposed is
obviously granular, individual branches of the subdrain may be deleted. We suggest that
the geotechnical engineer be present in the field to assist with the decision to delete parts
of the subdrain.
VI. SURFACE DRAINAGE
., Because of the relatively heavy rainfall in this region and the need to wet the compost,
we recommend that the asphalt surface conform to the present grade of the existing
surface. Natural drainage extends from the high point on the site near the northwest
corner to a point about 75 feet west of the railroad track spur approximately 320 feet
south of the northern property line. The slope of the surface should be at least 0.005 feet
per foot (0.5 feet per 100 feet). Additionally, the area should be sloped internally so
drainage from each quadrant can be controlled. The drainage configuration is shown
approximately in Figures 4 and 5. The divides between cells should be constructed in
a manner that will not obstruct the equipment operating on site.
VH. DETENTION SYSTEM
- Run-off from the asphaltic surface should be collected along the downslope edge of the
composing area into a swale constructed as a four-foot wide, six-inch deep trough (Figure
6). The swale should conduct the surface run-off into the detention pond.
Kaldveer Associates
WE-1029-01-035
Page five
The detention pond has been sized to retain a two-day volume of effluent discharge or
about 800 cubic feet. The pond size for this volume will be approximately twelve feet
wide, twenty-one feet long, and three feet deep. The pond should be lined with heavy
10 mil fabric, bermed, and fenced.
The criteria used to determine the detention pond size are as follows:
-� Surface Area 88,000 square feet
Rainfall 30 inches/year
Evaporation 15 inches/year
Added Water 26 inches/year
Absorbed Water 150,000 cubic feet
Estimated Average Compost Volume 375,000 cubic feet
The calculated total volume of water added to the composted material is estimated at
300,000 cubic feet. The water absorbed prior to final processing will amount to about
150,000 cubic feet with a net estimated yearly discharge of 150,000 cubic feet per year.
This is equal to about 410 cubic feet per day. The detention pond should be sized for
' twice this volume or about 800 cubic feet (30 cubic yards).
The membrane used to line the pond should be ultraviolet-resistant, plastic sheeting of
10 mil thickness. Approximately eighty square yards will be required to line the pond
and cover the berms surrounding the pond.
We recommend that the pond contain an automatic water level pump with a capacity of
about 30 gallons per minute which can pump the collected effluent back onto the
compost on a daily basis. At this pumping rate, the pond will be emptied in slightly
more than an hour-and-a-half.
In periods of heavy rainfall the detention pond may fill too rapidly. To control the
overflow we recommend that an over flow discharge be installed to the infiltration bed
located downslope. The overflow discharge should consist of a screened six-inch pipe
intake set slightly above the daily pumping level. Overflow water should be able to flow
into the intake and discharge into a series of perforated horizontal pipes suspended above
the top of the infiltration bed.

1 VIII. INFILTRATION BED
The infiltration bed was designed to collect and infiltrate a volume of water equal to that
of the detention pond. It is expected that the infiltration pond will accept only subdrain
discharge and severe rainfall overflow from the compost operation. The amount of
contaminated water is expected to be minor.
The design of the infiltration bed has been based on an assumed permeability of 1W
cm/sec (0.28 ft/day) for the dense, medium to fine-grained sand found on site. At this
permeability, the bottom surface area of about 3,000 square feet will be required. this
area may be reduced if percolation tests are run and the permeability was determined to
be higher than predicted.
The infiltration bed will have to be sized with dimensions of approximately 50 x 60 feet
by about two feet deep. The bottom foot would be fillets with washed gravel (7/8 to 1
1/2 inch size), and covered by silt fence geotextile, and about six inches of coarse sand.
The floor of the bed should be level. If the bed is long and narrow, the pipe injecting
fluid should be suspended, perforated and located along the center line. All flows in the
effluent system except water going back to the compost should be by gravity.
IX. CONCLUSIONS
This effluent system has been designed to eliminate any waste water discharge to off-site
areas. All infiltrated water is expected to The clean and monitored on a quarterly basis
to ensure its quality. The detention pond should be monitored for bacteria and pH. The
water may be treated with a chlorinator and/or lime as required. By sprinkling the
discharge into the infiltration bed some aeration will be accomplished and improvement
of quality may be attained.
We recommend that the effluent and the well water be monitored several times annually
to ensure that no contamination is occurring. Also, testing of the effluent may be an
excellent public relations/advertising tool for sales.
X. LIMITATIONS
This work has been performed utilizing information obtained through site studies, with
information from Bassett Western and Marysville Paving, laboratory testing, and with
the assumptions cited in the text. The conclusions and recommendations are professional
opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar condition
in this area. No other warranty is expressed or implied.

We recommend that Kaldveer Associates observe significant potions of the construction
J to ensure that site conditions are as implied by present observations and to assist in
downsizing the recommended facilities if conditions are better than anticipated.

RE: Plug Mill Site
Dear Bob,
In our meeting today you requested information of our intent for the old
Plug mill site located South of town. Although the entire site is
considered for purchase, we will initially utilize only the Northern-most
300 feet.
Our plans for this portion of the property are to operate a compost
recycling facility. This facility will consist of an asonalt
underlayment, a water collection system, screens and grinaers,as well as
the raw materials. These will be comprised of yard and garden debris, such
as grass clippings, leaves and various prunings. Distribution of our
finished product will also occur.
We plan to address the problem of ground water through our
collection/holding system with intentions of utilizing all of the retained
water in the composting process. Passing roadway surfaces will be kept
clean by asphalting the utilized areas.
Plans for the remaining area have not been finalized at this time although
we would hope to see the total site as a recycling center.
We hope to address any other concerns you may have in our meeting on
Thursday.

RE: Bassett Western General Solid Waste Handling Permit
Dear Jeff,
This letter is to inform you that the above noted site is zoned
Industrial and the proposed use is allowed in this zone.
If you should have any further questions, please contact me_ at 4.35-
0724.
Respectfully,
Barry C. Simmons, City Engineer

PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AGREEMENT
This agreement is entered into by and between the City of
Arlington, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the
"City" , and Bassett Western, hereinafter referred to as the
"Tenant" .
WHEREAS, this agreement is executed pursuant to Chapter 43 .21
RCW, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) , and Title 18,
Arlington Municipal Code, to provide for mitigation of existing and
known environmental impacts associated with the development
hereinafter described. This agreement does not preclude any
evaluation and determination by the City upon later actions or
proposals undertaken by the Tenant which may require a
determination of significance and environmental review under SEPA
and
WHEREAS, the Tenant is seeking to operate a facility that
composts yard and garden debris, as well as mix, screen and package
soil-like materials under approval of a Snohomish Health District
permit for a waste recycling permit at a site further described as:
See attached exhibit A.
WHEREAS, the City has made findings that this project will
result in probable significant adverse environmental impacts which
require the Tenant to either prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement or to modify the submitted environmental application by
entering into an agreement to mitigate such impacts;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and the Tenant agree that the
following mitigation measures shall be employed by the Tenant to
ensure that probable significant adverse environmental impacts
created by the proposed project are minimized or eliminated.
1. Water quality shall be tested and reported on a regular basis.
An on site storm drainage system will be required to protect
groundwater. Design to be approved by the City Engineer.
2. The processing and composting of yard and garden debris shall
be designed to control or eliminate adverse impacts caused by
odor and steam. Design is subject to approval by the City
Engineer prior to operation.
3 . Site shall be appropriately landscaped and bermed to prevent
any adverse impacts from noise generated from equipment
operated on the site. Landscape plan subject to approval of
the City Engineer and must be in place prior to operation of
the facility.
4 . Pile of composted materials can generate high levels of heat
which lead to combustion, therefore adequate fire protection
on site shall be required, as per the Fire Chief, prior to
operation of the facility.
5. The tenant shall be required to pay traffic mitigation fees
based on 30 trips per day at $50. 00 per trip.
6. The site was previously used as a log yard and therefore the
soils existing on the site contain debris relating to the
previous use. The tenant is in the process of screening the
soil on the site to remove large items of wood debris, etc.
In addition, as a part of the engineered storm drainage
system, test wells shall be located throughout the site for
sampling of run-off, as well as the existing water table for
levels of contaminates. Within the next 30 days the applicant
shall provide documentation regarding testing of the existing
well on the site, for the purpose of establishing beginning
test data.
7 . This mitigation agreement is by an environmental checklist for
the Bassett/Western facility . All other
operations app1i ations on the related site as owned,
opera d nd ZeAsed by the Jordan family doing business as
Soun E ro ental Land Uses is subject to separate reviews.
