PROJECT NAME: Cottonwood Lift Station Improvements

APPLICANT/CONTACT: Michael A. Benoit

OWNER: RAMAC, INC.

Mercer Island, WA 98040
PROJECT LOCATION: 2101 Maple Valley Hwy Renton, WA 98057 (APN 1723059103)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton, is requesting a Shoreline Exemption to complete
improvements to the existing Cottonwood Lift Station located at 2101 Maple Valley Highway (Attachment 1). The
project is one on nine lift station improvement projects scheduled to be completed under Phase 3 of the Lift Station
and Force Main Improvement Projects. The proposed work includes replacing pumps, piping, and fittings inside the
existing wet well; replacing piping and fittings inside the existing valve vault; installing a new telemetry panel; and
routing conduits from the existing valve vault to the new telemetry panel. The subject site is located within an
existing utility easement near the Riviera Apartments (Attachment 2). It is estimated that approximately 30 cubic
yards (CY) of native material would be excavated to install conduits from the existing valve to the new telemetry
panel. The excavation would take place within an existing paved area used as a driveway from the nearby apartment
complex. Approximately 10 CY of sand would be imported to bed the conduits and native material would be used
to backfill the trench. The remaining disturbed area would be replaced in-kind. The project site is located within
the Shoreline High Intensity designation and the Cedar River Reach C (CR-C). Proposed work would occur
approximately 50 feet from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The subject project would not result in an
increase in impervious area beyond what exists today. Construction is anticipated to commence later this summer.
