 This meeting will be attended by Jacobs’ permit Manager and a permitting assistant along with the County’s Solid Waste Director. Deliverables:  One agenda and meeting notes Task 4: FEMA Floodplain Mitigation and Stormwater Analysis Jacobs will conduct a frequently flooded areas assessment that will be incorporated into the Critical Areas Report (Task 5) for the City of Ellensburg. As part of this work, a Hydraulics Analysis will be conducted to show no net rise in base flood elevation resulting from the proposed development. The Hydraulic Analysis will determine sizing and design requirements for replacement of the D-1 ditch with a perimeter ditch for flood control and flood storage/net rise mitigation. Task 4 will also include a stormwater pond analysis specific to floodplain storage benefits. Assumptions:  Jacobs will use the 2018 Kittitas County/FEMA mapped floodplain for this analysis.  Revising the mapped floodplain through a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR), will not be required. As per ECC 15.630.040.C, compensatory mitigation for base flood storage volume will be provided on-site. Deliverables  Draft and Final Floodplain and Hydraulic Analysis in support of the Critical Areas Report (Task 4)  Preliminary Floodplain Perimeter Ditch and Stormwater Pond Design for floodplain mitigation and Master Plan Map Update (Task 5) Task 5: Critical Areas Report Jacobs will prepare a Critical Areas Report to submit to the City of Ellensburg as specified in Ellensburg City Code (ECC), Draft Critical Area Revisions Section 15.610.090 Critical Areas Report – Requirements. The Critical Areas Report will include identification and characterization of all critical areas, water bodies, and buffers within and adjacent to the proposed transfer station. It will reference the Wetlands Delineation Report for information on existing onsite wetlands and buffers. The report will identify anticipated wetlands and buffer impacts caused by implementation of the transfer station design and describe measures made to apply mitigation sequencing pursuant to ECC 15.610.120 including efforts made to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to wetlands and buffers. The Critical Areas Report will describe existing onsite floodplain information, identify impacts to the floodplains, and describe mitigation that will result in a no net rise in flood elevation. The report will incorporate results of the analysis described in Task 4 to describe the proposed stormwater management plan for the project and consideration of impacts to drainage alternations. The Critical Areas Report will include an assessment of probable cumulative impacts to critical areas resulting from the proposed project. Proposed mitigation to offset any impacts will be described in accordance with ECC 15.610.130. Deliverables  Draft and Final Critical Areas Report with mapping, figures and hydraulic analysis
