RLK- Kuusisto, Ltd. Project No. 2001 -256 -M /Phase 13
ILK. -K uusisto. Ltd. appreciates the support and assistance provided by City staff and consultants
regarding the above referenced project. We are pleased to offer the following comments to the
conclusion/recommendation section of the above referenced planning report from Northwest
Associated Consultants. The numbers correspond to the conditions as listed in the report. The
condition has been restated in Italics for easy reference.
1. Both the catch basins and the existing stormwater pond shall be improved to prevent and
treat fuel spillage prior to their entrance into the City's system. The drainage plans shall be
subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
RLK- Kuusisto, Ltd. proposes a Stormceptor system to collect and filter site drainage before
discharging into the existing storm sewer. Because the Stormceptor will prevent any
gasoline or oil from entering the pond, modifications to the pond will not be necessary. RLK.
has discussed the proposed storm system with the City Engineer and he concurs with our
proposal.

COMBATS POLLUTION
StorI11ceptt)r' is a pollution pr e\ device that
efficiently removes oil and sediment from storr11\\'ater, and
stores them for safe and easy removal. Stornlccl)tor k
unique in the market because it will inn release tripped
pollutants between servicing, even in periods of peak
water flow. Designed to replace more Costly conventional
water quality inlets, and tested in and licl�l

front -line pollution control.
LOWERS COSTS
When installed in new or existing storm sewers,
Stormceptor eliminates the need for catch basin
sediment traps, and reduces the frequency of scheduled
sewer flushing.
Localized containment
eases both the identifica-
tion of polluters, and the
transfer of cleanup liability
to them, instead of the
municipality.

OIL SPILL PROTECTION
FIBERGLASS LINED
The fiberglass lining of the
Stormceptor oil storage zone
makes it ideal for use in
areas where there is a
potential for oil and
chemical spills, and where
they accumulate in
r
substantial volume between
clean ups. Being chemically
inert, the fiberglass lined
zone of the Stormceptor
makes it particularly suitable
for industrial properties, fuel
tank farms, automotive
service stations and
parking lots.

Some general guidelines
/0 Se mici 1 J are as
inspect the Stormceptor on
an annual basis and note
sediment and oil aCCtlillu-
latioils. More frequent
inspections are appropriate
where oil spills occur regu-
larly Cretcx can provide
advice on sampling
equipment.
Sediment should be
removed annually, or
whenever the accumulation
reaches 15% of the
operating storage volume
of the Stormceptor. Ii)
areas of new construction,
or where vegetation has not
been established, more
frequent removal may
be necessary.
Vacuum trucks are used to
remove the sediment and
oil from the Stormceptor
treatment chamber. Oil
levels greater than 1.0
inches (25 mm) should
be removed immediately by
a licensed waste manage -
ment firm, and
significant spills must be
reported to the appropriate
regulatory agency.
