SEPA determination
Seattle Public Utilities uses vactor trucks to vacuum solids and fluids from stormwater drainage structures such as vaults and catch basins to ensure the proper functioning of the city’s stormwater drainage system and to comply with federal, state and city regulations. The Halladay Vactor Waste Decant Facility is an existing facility used to decant vactor waste (remove the liquid portion from the settled solids) and stockpile and dry the vactor solids until such time as they can be loaded onto trucks for disposal transport.
The proposed project would slightly reconfigure and improve the Halladay facility primarily to facilitate installation of an above-ground, concrete-block and tensioned-fabric, arched canopy structure so that stored decanted solids would be contained and protected from precipitation. By controlling the materials in this manner, the city would comply with federal, state and city regulations. The structure would provide shelter to allow the solids to dry before being trucked to a rail yard for transport to a landfill. In addition, the canopy would reduce the likelihood of decant liquids and vactor solids entering the surface-water/stormwater control system.
The proposed project includes the following components:
•Demolish existing asphalt and concrete surfaces and excavate and grade site;
•Trench to install and/or relocate required electrical, water and drainage utilities;
•Repave the area with asphalt;
•Assemble three 7-foot high, engineered-block retaining walls as the base of the structure, consisting of a concrete-block wall with a fabric canopy;
•Install engineered canopy frame and tensioned-fabric cover;
•Replace access gate; and
•Retain the existing decant pit and effluent treatment vault in their current locations.
The project is located in the Interbay neighborhood on a 4,900-square-foot portion of the West Halladay Street right-of-way, located between 21st and 20th avenues West. There is no street address for this location.
