Introduction
The property is located in Belfair Washington where Union River converges with Hood Canal. A
description of the property is provided elsewhere. This study evaluates the runoff from the site for the
2 hour through 6 hour, 2 year return interval event using HSPF and the SCS event models. The peak five
(5) hours of the SCS 100 year return frequency, 24hr duration event is also computed.
The two methods are compared because concern of volume estimates using an event model. In an
event model when one specifies a return event,the event is based on the peak flow rate,which is
acceptable for conveyance analysis. However,peak flow rate is not the same as peak runoff volume.
HSPF is used because in Washington State time series of 40-50 years are available for most regions. The
time series provide an accurate account of the volume of runoff that is generated. The issue with HSPF
is similar to that of event models. When HSPF generally reports a return frequency based on Log
Pearson Type III,it is again a peak flow rate.
HSPFToolkitTM, by Engenious Systems, Inc. provided the tools necessary to convert the time series to a
return volume frequency. It is possible to identify a probable 2 year recurrence volume of any duration.
The 167.8 acre site is divided into three(3)watersheds labeled WatershedN-1,WatershedN, and
WatershedM. While the watersheds are adjacent to one another,they are analyzed separately because
each independently enters the proposed storage facility.

For the HSPF model,time series were generated for each of the watersheds. WatershedN-1 was
assigned a time series 801,WatershedN was assigned time series 802 and WatershedM was assigned
time series 803.
Using HSPFToolkit was then used to generate reports based on volume using Log Pearson for statistical
summaries. The results of for each time series follow:

Table 6-WatershedM,HSPF Analysis
The tables represent runoff in acre-feet for return intervals 2 through 100 year and event durations
from 2 hour to 24 hours. This table is unusual in that the return frequencies are based on the
recurrence of a runoff volume, not flow rate!
SCS Event based comparison
SCS runoff is a simple computation based on the equation:
Q — (P —0.2S)'I
(P +0.3S)
Where Q: Runoff in inches.
P: Precipitation in inches.
S: An equation based on the SCS CN number computes as:
S= 1000/C.V— 10
Hence,given an area of 11.7 Acres with an SCS CN of 85:
S = 1000/05 — 10 = 1.7647
And if the precipitation is 4.5 inches:
Q —
(4.5—0.2 X 1.7647)'2 (4.5 +0.8W1.7647) = 2.91 inches
What this means is that the runoff from 11.7 acres is:
R = (2•91f12)11.7 = 2.84ac—ft
For an SCS comparison of runoff with HSPF, precipitation rates for equivalent duration runoff events are
required. This information is not available from traditional sources for precipitation.
HSPFToolkit was used to generate the precipitation volume return values that are equivalent to the
volumes that were computed for each design duration in the above section. Theses precipitation values
were then used in the SCS equation to estimate the SCS volume for comparison to actual data.

Table 7-Precipitation Values
To determine if the predicted precipitation values are reasonable,we compared the HSPF precipitation
value for the 100 year 24 hour event with the"standard" 100 year 24 hour precipitation value for the
region. HSPF predicted a 100 year 24 hour precipitation of 7.62 inches. The value based on traditional
SCS procedures is 5.37 inches.
The conclusion is that we can used the HSPF values in the SCS equation,and if anything,it will over
predict the runoff that an SCS rate based precipitation would compute.
As can be seen in the Table 1, predicted SCS volumes for the various runoff durations are less than the
values predicted by HSPF data.
Data Validation
Although direct comparison of runoff events for the two year 2 through 6 hour duration events are not
really possible,we can compare the runoff volumes of the 2 year 24 hour rate based volume and also
look at the volume of the peak 5 hours of the two year 24 hour event. The results are also included in
Table 1 and repeated hear for convenience.

Table 8-2 year 24 hour Volume Comparison
While not completely uniform,the above table indicates that for WaterShedN-1 the predicted volumes
based on four scenarios are:
HSPFToolKit 3.19 acre feet
SCS using HSPFToolkit precip values: 2.69 acre feet
Traditional SCS 2 year 24 hour event(rate based): 1.82 acre feet
Peak five(5)hours of a traditional 100 year 24 hr event(rate based) 1.53 acre feet
The predicted runoff volumes from HSPFToolkit are higher than prediction methods that rely on the
area under the SCS Unit hydrograph design curve(Type 1A).
We recommend reliance on the volumes predicted by HSPFToolkit because they are based on the
recurrence interval of a volume which using the SCS design hydrograph is based on the recurrence
frequency of a peak runoff rate,which is not the same and in fact, not a very good comparison. In order
to use recurrence interval of a rate to predict volume,there must be a direct correlation between rate
and volume.
In fact,there isn't. A 100 year peak flow rate does not necessarily mean it rained more than a 10 year
runoff event.

Table 9-Peak runoff rates
Rates were computed using Log Pearson Type III by HSPFToolkit,on peak year rates for the time series
data. They are compared to similar values from StormShed3G. Both are based on the 24 hour duration
event.
HSPF predicts higher return rates. Of particular interest is the rate predicted by HSPF for the 2 year 24
hour period in Waterhshed M. This is probably a reflection of the designation of Type D soils that is
forested and saturated,whereas in the SCS model,the area was designated as simply forested.

Subject: Soil Log Report for the property currently owned by Jack Johnson
Dear Neil,
Pursuant to my contract with the Pacific Northwest Salmon Center I am submitting my findings
from my soils exploration of the Jack Johnson Property. In my proposal to the PNSC Board
proposed digging 30 soil pits on the property. This work was done to:
1. Map the surface soil characteristics of the 90 acres site.
2. Determine the level of the water table on the site at the conclusion of the "dry" season.
3. Obtain data and information to support the upcoming wetland delineation for the
property.
4. Obtain data and information to support the upcoming archeological study of the
property.
5. Evaluate the engineering properties of the on site soils to determine their suitability for
excavation, fill, wetland and pond construction, building foundations, and on site waste
water disposal.
Procedures:
I visited the site on October 25th and 26th with a backhoe and dug 30 soil pits. The soil pits had
previously been staked by AEC Consultants of Silverdale. A map of the soil log layout is
included with the report (See Figure One). Generally the soil logs were dug to a depth where it
appeared that there would be no significant changes in the soil profile. The deepest soil log
was dug 6 feet deep. The soil was visually classified, by layer, using the Unified Classification
System (UCS). (A UCS table has been included with this report for the review by the reader.)
Photos were taken of several of the soil logs. (Several of the soil log photos have been
included with this report) Generally, the soil logs on the West side of Roswell Drive were
similar so we included a "typical" soil log photo represent all the soil logs west of Roswell
Drive.
The weather during the soil testing was dry and we were able to drive to most of the soil pit
locations with an automobile. There had been a couple of small rain storms in October before
the excavation of the soil pits. October was a dry month at the end of dry summer and fall.

A Brief Site History:
The Jack Johnson Property is approximately 90 acres in size. The property was developed as
a dairy farm in the 1920's by the Roessel family. In the 1930's the Army Corps of Engineers
constructed the dikes. Over the last 70 years the primary use of the property has been as a
dairy farm and for animal husbandry. Hay has been the primary crop. The soil on the property
has been disked and furrowed on numerous occasions. The drainage ditches on the property
were constructed by the Roessel family. Jack Johnson bought the property in the 1980's. In
1994 Johnson's installed a new tide gate structure and drainage outfall. The existing 30 CMP
drainage pipe was lined with a 22 inch diameter plastic pipe and a new tide gate was installed.
The entire property drains to southwest corner of the property.
Site Description:
It lies at the bottom of the hill on the west boundary of the Belfair Urban Growth Area and
borders Lynch Cove and Hood Canal on the east. The entire western boundary of the property
has been diked to prevent salt water intrusion. The property is drained by a matrix of deep — up
to 7 feet deep — drainage ditches that drain through tides gates to Hood Canal. The property
has been actively farmed for over 50 years. All the areas where soil logs were dug are being
actively farmed. (SEE FIGURES 1, 2, and 3.) The elevations on the site vary from elevation 8
MLLW at the Southwest corner to elevation 18 MLLW at the Jack Johnson residence. (SEE
FIGURE 4).

Site Soil Characteristics:
This soil investigation began by reviewing the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Mapping
for Mason County. The SCS soil type boundaries are shown on Figure 1. We did not find a
close correlation with the SCS soil typing of the site and the soil testing. Virtually all the soils
on the site were either top soil, silty sand, or sandy silt. The was not a rock to be found in any
of the soil logs except where gravel had been imported at some previous time. We did not find
any "Tidal Marsh" soils that are shown on the SCS Soil Mapping. It was expected that the
Tidal Marsh soils would be the remnants of the silty, organic mud present is Lynch Cove. Why
we did not find any Tidal Marsh "type" soils is a mystery. We assume that the continuous tilling
and grading of the soils to grow crops has had a major impact on the structure of the soil on
the site. Several of the soil pits in the southwest quadrant of the property had a layer of clam
and oyster shells at depths of 3 to 4 feet. Soil Pit No. 7 had a little gravel mixed in the shells.
Please refer to Figure 3 and to the enclosed soil Test Pit Logs for a description the soil types
present on the property. Figure 2-A below illustrates the typical soil pit for the portion of the

property west of Roessel Drive and for most of the property east of Roessel Drive. In the soil
pits near the eastern boundary of the property the deeper soils changed in color to gray and
the water table was higher. See Figure 2-B.

Water Table:
The depth of the water table is of major interest in that it is proposed to revert approximately 40
acres of western portion of this site back to medium to high salt marsh. It is also proposed to
convert the northeast portion of the site into wetlands to treat the storm water for the Belfair
UGA. Salt marsh habitat in this part of Hood Canal varies in elevation from 8 MLLW to 13
MLLW. The depth of the water table is shown in each of the soil pit logs. It varied from 2 feet
to 3.5 feet.
Site Topography and Salt Marsh Habitat:
Figure 4 illustrates the elevations zones on the property. They elevations on the property range
from elevation 6 MLLW datum to elevation 28 MLLW datum. The area within several elevation
ranges is shown on Figure 4.
The extreme high water at the end of Hood Canal is approximately elevation 15 MLLW.
Extreme high water occurs when the winter high tides combine with low barometric pressure,
localized flooding from the Union River and elsewhere, and high wind waves. The Federal
Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) requires that first floor home elevations be
constructed 2 feet above extreme high water. The main residence and garages on the property
have a floor elevation above 18 feet. The secondary residence located at the north end of
Roessel Drive has a floor elevation of 15 feet. The north barn has a floor elevation of 16.5 feet.
All these elevations are based on the aerial survey and will need to be verified in the field by
survey.
Salt marsh habitat is defined "approximately" by low, medium, and high salt marsh habitat. The
different salt marsh habitats often have significantly different vegetation. Low salt marsh varies
from elevation 8 to 9.5 feet, medium salt marsh from elevation 9.5 to 11 feet, and high salt
marsh varies from elevation 11 feet to 13 feet. Some researchers may include an elevation
zone of 13 feet to 14 feet where "salt tolerant" vegetation is often present. The existing
property has 31.2 acres below elevation 13.0 MLLW. When sections of the dike are removed
salt water will flood the property and the areas of the property below elevation 13.0 will revert
to salt marsh habitat.

The Proposed Improvements to the Property:
There have been several concepts put forth for the development of the Pacific Northwest
Salmon Center. The analysis and selection of a "preferred" alternative will depend on the
recommendations set forth in this report and additional study of the site. Bruce Dees and
Associates is waiting for the soils information, wet land delineation, and storm water treatment
concept plan before developing a suite of final site concepts. The PNSC Board has selected
the Concept C shown below for further development. Concept C will be used to discuss the
engineering properties of the soils and to make design recommendations for fill, roadway,
pond and building construction.

Storm Water Treatment Ponds:
It is proposed to construct 3 to 5 acres of storm water treatment ponds in the north east
quadrant of the site. These ponds would consist of the storm water settling pond (Pond 1) that
is be constructed so as to provide a four foot deep (water depth) one acre pond to remove
sediment from the storm water (also referred to as the pretreatment pond). The second pond
or ponds will consist of 2.5 to 4 acres of ponds (Pond 2) constructed so as to encourage
wetland plant development. The depth of these ponds will vary from 2 feet in deepest portion
to a shallow littoral zone along the shore line. The average water depth in the wetland
treatment pond — or ponds - would be approximately 1.5 feet. All the ponds would hold water at
constant depth. Water quality treatment in Pond 2 would be via the natural processes of further
sedimentation and the uptake of the nutrients in the water by the wetland plant community.
Note that detention is not a requirement for the proposed storm water treatment system since
the ponds will discharge directly to Hood Canal via tidal channels.
The area where the storm water treatment ponds are proposed is covered with a thick layer of
top soil and tan colored sandy silt that is well aerated to a depth of approximately 2 feet. Below
that elevation the soil turns to gray, wet silt with some clay. The water table in the area where
the storm water treatment ponds are proposed was at an average depth of 2 to 2.5 feet when
the soil pits were dug. These silty soils are moisture sensitive and construction should be
completed under the driest conditions practical. Lenses of ground water were found in soil pits
29, 30, and 27 near the bottom of the pit.
The following approach is recommended to construct the proposed storm water sedimentation
and treatment ponds.
1. A four foot deep dewatering trench should be dug around three sides of the construction
area. The ditch should be pumped or drained by gravity to the Mindy Creek or the
surrounding wetlands.
2. A "hog fuel" access road for equipment access should be constructed into the
excavation area. Excavation should begin at the north and east ends of the ponds. The
ponds should be dug to grade as the excavation proceeds. The surface of the pasture
should not be disturbed prior to the start of excavation.
3. A geo-textile fabric should be placed on the bottom of the sedimentation pond — Pond 1
— and six inches of bank run gravel placed over the fabric. To the greatest extend
possible, the grass sod and top soil should be saved for use in creating the organic soils
required to line Pond 2.
4. The water quality treatment pond should be over excavated by six inches and covered
with six inches of organic soils.

Salt Marsh Construction
It has been proposed to lower the grade of approximately 10 acres of the property west of
Roswell Road to increase the area and quality of salt marsh on the property. The limits and
depth of excavation have set to be determined. The soils found on the west side of Roessel
Drive are moisture sensitive but could be used to future pasture land, parking lots, and
recreation areas. The following approach is recommended for the excavation of the salt marsh
areas.
1. Construct or reconstruct the proposed tidal channels.
2. Strip and save the sod and top soil from the areas to be excavated for use in the
fabrication of the organic soils for the wetland storm water treatment ponds.
3. Excavate the salt marsh areas to grade.
4. Till and prepare the proposed salt marsh areas for natural recruitment of salt marsh
plants from the surrounding areas.
Roads and Parking Lots
Areas where roads and parking lots are proposed should constructed as follows:
1. Strip the sod and top soil from the area and save it for construction of organic soils to be
used elsewhere on the site.
2. Import the native soils from the salt marsh excavation areas compact them using
vibratory compaction. Water may be required. Grade to drain.
3. In the road and parking lot areas — place geo-textile on top of native soils.
4. Place six inches to eight inches of bank run gravel over the geo-textile and compact the
gravel.
5. Pave with 4 inches of 1-1/4" minus crushed rock and 2 inches of asphalt concrete
pavement.
All work should be completed between April 15 and October 15.
Building Areas:
The existing soils appear adequate for support light building loads, however, it is
recommended that soil borings of at least 30 feet in depth be taken in the location of proposed
building foundations. The following preparations should be taken prior to constructing building
foundations.
1. Over excavate building footing areas two feet and backfill with compacted gravel
backfill. The width of the footing trench should be 2 feet wider then the building footing.
2. Footing and crawl space drains should be installed and drained by gravity to the nearest
drainage ditch or stream.
