1-405 CONGESTION RELIEF AND BUS RAPID TRANSIT PROJECTS:
INTRODUCTION TO EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENTS
WSDOT welcomes the Early Environmental Investments Task Force
If you are a recipient of this packet, WSDOT asks that you participate in
the Early Environmental Investment (EEI) part of the 1-405 Corridor
Environmental Program by participating on the EEI Task Force. Task
Force members are environmental resource professionals from local,
state, and federal agencies. We look forward to working with you to
develop the EEI approach to environmental mitigation.
Our first workshop will be held:
Tuesday, December 91h, 2003
8:30 a.m. — 12:30 a.m.
Location TBD
What is the 1-405 Corridor Program?
The 1-405 Corridor, from 1-5 in Tukwila to 1-5 in Lynnwood, needs
improvement to relieve current and future traffic congestion.
Transportation improvements for 1-405 were addressed in the 1-405
Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). In the EIS, a
number of alternatives for corridor -wide improvement were proposed.
Following release of the EIS, a Record of Decision identified a Selected
Alternative. The Selected Alternative provides for widening 1-405 by up to
two lanes in each direction throughout its 30-mile length. At the current
time, Environmental Assessments (EAs) are underway for specific
projects within the corridor.
What is EEI?
' EEI is mitigation developed in advance for the estimated effects of project
construction on the environment. It is a corridor -wide process to identify,
rank, select, design, and permit environmental investment opportunities in
advance of construction creating any environmental impacts. The EEI
focus is to identify opportunities for improving aquatic resources, fish,
wetlands, water quantity, and floodplains. EEI is a cooperative effort,
' requiring information sharing and partnering among agencies with an
interest in the 1-405 study area.
1 EEI is part of WSDOT's commitment to a corridor -wide environmental
program. By initiating an EEI task force, WSDOT is seeking your help in
selecting mitigation opportunities that will benefit the environment.
' WSDOT's goal is to invest wisely in viable, permittable projects.
1
How does EEI fit with other 1-405 environmental efforts?
The EEI effort will rely on, to some extent, the impact analyses provided in
the Discipline Reports for each Environmental Assessment (EA). The
Discipline Reports will, in turn, rely on the EEI for the mitigation of some of
those impacts. The EEI effort will seek to put forth mitigation measures
that integrate more than one discipline and build upon basin planning and
watershed management efforts. It will be the EEI that addresses the
actual compensatory mitigation measures.
The EEI work will also utilize watershed characterization work currently
underway. While watershed characterization work will identify areas
worthy of more site -specific work in North Renton, EEI will use watershed
characterization results and evaluate project site ideas in more detail.
What have we done so far?
An EEI demonstration project has been completed. The South Renton
Early Environmental Demonstration is planned to be environmental
investment compensation for proposed transportation improvements at the
1-405/SR 167 interchange. Based on the lessons learned from this
demonstration project, the EEI team refined the project identification and
selection criteria.
A "long list" of potential 1-405 EEI projects for the remaining portions of the
corridor has been compiled from published documents. These documents
include basin plans, near -term action agendas, and needs reports from
watersheds potentially affected by 1-405 improvements from North Renton
to the Bothell area. Watersheds that may be affected are:
• Bear Creek
• Cedar River
• Coal Creek
• East Lake Sammamish
• Issaquah Creek
• Kelsey Creek
• Lake Sammamish
• Lake Washington
• May Creek
• North Creek
• Sammamish River
• Swamp Creek
The "long list" of projects has been evaluated based on readily available
information, using a preliminary fatal flaw process. The results of this
preliminary analysis will be updated with the addition of more research
and input from task force members.
1 What will you be doing?
Your expertise and knowledge about the region are valuable resources.
We need your help in identifying potential EEI projects for wetlands,
shorelines, riparian habitat, and stream restoration or enhancement. First-
hand knowledge and access to specific project data is needed --- sufficient
information is important for an effective evaluation process.
What else will you find in this packet?'
The following materials are provided for your review prior to our first
workshop:
• A technical memorandum describing the project selection process
which incorporates the "lessons learned" from the pilot demonstration
project.
' Definitions of the fatal flaw and second -level screening criteria
• The "long list" of potential 1-405 Corridor EEI projects, subdivided by
the specific transportation project and by basin. The subdivided list
shows the results of the preliminary fatal flaw evaluation.
• Worksheets for guidance in providing project information.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Corridor Implementation of the Early Action Demonstration
1-405 Congestion Relief and Bus Rapid Transit Projects
Purpose
The purpose of this technical memo is to communicate the updated site selection
process for early environmental investments (EEI) to project team members and
participants in the EEI task force.
' Overview
A pilot process for selecting and constructing environmental investments was conducted
in the South Renton area in 20022. That process is being carried forward and applied to
other areas of the 1-405 program. Comments from the EEI task force as well as from a
post -project review with the 1-405 environmental team have been incorporated to
improve the process for identifying and selecting early environmental investments.
Clarifications and changes have been made to some fatal flaw and screening criteria,
resulting in better tools for distinguishing among sites. One key change is the earlier
involvement of a task force for project input.
1
11
It is possible that as the potential project list is reviewed, other criteria may be added or
the EEI team may further refine definitions if this improves the screening process. The
following tables and sections summarize updates and outline the proposed role of the
EEI task force.
Updated Fatal Flaw Criteria
The fatal flaw criteria identified for the pilot process were analyzed. If a fatal flaw was
not useful for distinguishing among sites, it was eliminated or modified to better serve
the process. One criterion, High Priority in the Basin, was removed from the screening
process. Another criterion, Ecological Connectivity, was moved to the second -level
criteria. This is discussed in more detail in later sections. The following table
summarizes analyses to the pilot process fatal flaw criteria:
Table 1. Fatal Flaw Criteria Updates
Within established boundaries IN None
High priority in plan OUT Did not distinguish sites
Total cost less than 10 million IN Revised to a range
Ecological connectivity MOVED Part of second -level viability — was
not useful for fatal flaw
Permitability within 12 months IN None
Project availability IN None
Z WSDOT. I-405/SR 167 Interchange Early Environmental Demonstration, October 4, 2002.
' 3 The Status refers to whether or not the fatal flaw criteria will be used in the updated process or if it was
changed.
The resulting list of fatal flaw criteria is to be applied in the following order:
1. Within established boundaries
2. Reasonable EEI project
3. Total cost greater than $250,000 and less than $10 million
4. Permitability within 12 months
5. Project availability
Updated Fatal Flaw Definitions
Within Established Boundaries
There is an EEI study area based on basin boundaries potentially affected by I-
405 improvements. This effort evaluates early environmental opportunities on a
corridor -wide level. A project will not advance to the short list if it is located
outside the study area boundary.
In order to better manage the expected long list of projects within the corridor
study area, it will be necessary to categorize the potential EEI projects by road
improvement section.
2. Reasonable EEI Protect
Reasonable early environmental investments consist of projects that are primarily
environmental projects, have a clear location, with defined environmental
elements addressed. Projects also need to have potential for credits toward any
aquatic resource environmental impacts. Many published documents suggest
program efforts like education or improvements to overall water quality. An EEI
project may incorporate some of these kinds of program efforts if they are
appropriate. However, an EEI project must focus on water resources and receive
credit for the advanced mitigation.
3. Total Cost Greater than $250,000 and Less than $10 Million
Cost to design, acquire land, construct, and monitor the project site will not
exceed $10 million. Projects with a cost of less than $250,000 were also
eliminated to avoid the expense associated with the startup and mobilization of
numerous projects; this also leaves financially obtainable projects for
organizations with smaller budgets.
4. Permitability within 12 Months
Specific project attributes that would require extensive, time-consuming effort or
negotiations may make projects less feasible as early environmental investment
projects. Hazardous waste clean-up efforts, extensive application of unproven
or untested techniques of restoration, or acquiring and demolishing existing
structures are some examples of factors that would extend the time for acquiring
permits. A project will not be advanced to the short list if it is not likely to be
permitted or approved within 12 months after a 30 percent design on the site is
provided to the permitting team.
This fatal flaw has not changed. The timeline was redefined based on the
amount of time required to develop the necessary information for obtaining all
applicable environmental permits (design plans, specifications, etc.) and on
current project schedules.
0
5. Proiect Availability
Projects will not be advanced to the short list if they are identified by the basin
steward or other sources as already in construction, being developed, or
otherwise unavailable due to changes in conditions. This fatal flaw has not
changed.
Moved or Removed from Fatal Flaw Screening
High Priority in the Basin Plan Criterion
The High Priority in Basin Plan criterion was removed from the fatal flaw list. This fatal
flaw was found to be overly subjective and would be better covered in the second -level
screening criteria under the Level of Project Support criterion. It is the goal of the EEI
process to work with basin representatives, agencies, jurisdictions, and the WSDOT
watershed characterization group to construct projects that will provide the most
environmental benefit possible for the cost of development.
Updated Second -Level Screening Criteria
The second -level screening criteria identified for the pilot process were reexamined for
effectiveness. If a second -level criteria was not useful for distinguishing among sites, it
was eliminated or modified to better serve the process. One criterion, High Priority in the
Basin, was removed from the screening process. Another criterion, Ecological
Connectivity, was moved to the second -level criteria. This is discussed in more detail in
later sections.
The following table summarizes the analysis performed on the pilot process second -level
screening criteria.

Ecological Connectivity
The fatal flaw criterion Ecological Connectivity was removed from the fatal flaw criteria
and included as part of the second -level screening criterion, Ecological/Functional
Viability. This criterion was not helpful in distinguishing sites during the earlier effort, and
it complemented the Ecological/Functional Viability description already included in the
second -level screening criteria. In general, most of the projects considered in the earlier
effort had been proposed as a means to further an environmental enhancement or
restoration goal. Therefore, all of the projects either met or were intended to provide
ecological benefits, many of which depend on some level of connectivity to other
important natural resources.
Updated Second -Level Screening Criteria Definitions
Most of the second -level criteria definitions were carried over from the pilot process.
The criteria updates are explained in the succeeding sections in the following order:
1. Ecological/functional viability
2. Potential for long-term protection and low-level of maintenance
3. Potential for minimal site constraints and favorable constructability
4. Threatened and Endangered Species support level
5. Level of proportionality of environmental investment to impact
6. Timeliness of benefits
7. Ownership/availability (ease of acquisition)
8. Consistency with local land use plans and local, state, and federal regulations
9. Potential for loss of environmental investment opportunity
10. Level of project support
11. Cost effectiveness
12. Credits generated
13. Level of partnership opportunities
1. Ecological/functional viability (Change) --This criterion definition was changed to
more clearly include connectivity and to clarify considerations.
Previous Definition: This criterion refers to the type of habitat the project can
accommodate and refers to the relationship of site to landscape. A higher score
indicates greater ecological and functional viability. Below is a list of questions
that will be addressed under this criterion:
What habitat improvements could be accommodated by the site (e.g., wetlands,
streams, riparian habitat, wildlife, floodplain, stormwater, or water quality)?
What functions could the environmental investment or restoration opportunity
provide (e.g., over -wintering, rearing for juvenile salmon, flood flow reduction,
amphibian habitat, primary productions)?
What are the ecological processes necessary to support these functions? Are
ecological and functional opportunities feasible on the site?
How likely is it that these functions will be viable in the future?
11
Updated Definition: This criterion refers to the ecological elements provided by
the proposed project or project area. A higher score indicates a greater
ecological contribution in terms of a larger number of ecological elements or a
significant contribution to a particular ecological element, especially an identified
limiting factor affecting threatened or endangered species. Below is a list of
questions that will be addressed under this criterion:
■ What habitat elements could be accommodated by the site (e.g.,
wetlands, streams, riparian habitat, wildlife (buffer) habitat, floodplain, or
water quality)?
■ What functions could the potential ecological elements provide, given the
landscape position, drainage basin condition, and identified limiting
factors? These may include fish habitat issues such as over -wintering
and rearing habitat for juvenile salmon, flood flow reduction to improve
basin functions, or general habitat parameters such as wetland or riparian
habitat.
■ Will the project enhance critical ecological processes necessary to
support these functions? If not, are the critical ecological processes
'
sufficiently protected to make improvements to the site feasible?
2. Potential for Long -Term Protection and Low Level of Maintenance (Change) --
This criterion was split into two independent criteria primarily to clarify the
differences in maintenance costs and partnership potential.
' Previous Definition: This criterion refers to the need for maintenance and
mechanisms for long-term site protection after compliance monitoring indicates
final performance standards have been met. A higher score indicates lower
maintenance needs and more yore opportunities for long-term protection.
Consideration was given to the following:
■ Environmental investment or restoration opportunities that require little -to -
no maintenance are preferable to opportunities that require human
intervention to ensure success.
■ Sites that have the potential to be turned over to another agency or
conservation group for long-term protection and maintenance. (A parcel
that is targeted for acquisition by another agency or organization should
be given consideration over other parcels that may require long-term
ownership and management by WSDOT.)
Updated Definitions:
Low Level of Maintenance -- Environmental investment or restoration
opportunities that require little -to -no maintenance are preferable to opportunities
that require human intervention to ensure success. A higher score indicates
lower maintenance needs.
Potential for Long -Term Protection -- Sites that have the potential to be turned
over to another agency or conservation group for long-term protection and
' maintenance. A higher score indicates more opportunities for long-term
protection.
12
3. Potential for Minimal Site Constraints and Favorable Constructability (No
Change) -- This criterion refers to site conditions that may interfere with
completion or construction of a successful environmental investment or
restoration opportunity (e.g., clearing, grading, fill removal, filling, hydraulic
structures, etc.). A higher score indicates fewer or no site constraints and
favorable constructability potential. Constraints to consider include:
• Site contamination
• Utility locations
• Presence of cultural, historical, archaeological features
• Access
4. Threatened and Endangered Species Support Level (No Change) -- This
criterion refers to threatened, endangered, or sensitive species, including
candidate species present at the site. A higher score indicates more ecological
support for threatened and endangered species. Questions to answer under this
criterion include:
■ Does the site provide ecological support for threatened, endangered,
candidate, or sensitive species?
• How does the site provide this support?
5. Level of Proportionality of Environmental Investment to Impact (Change) --
This criterion will now be called Environmental Benefits Address Estimated
Project Effects. The reason for changing the category title is to convey that the
1-405 Corridor Program is working at watershed levels to address the estimated
water resource effects of transportation design as early as possible. The EEI
team felt that the previous definition conveyed a standard number, ratio, or credit,
which has not truly been established for the corridor. The definition was changed
slightly to reflect category title and intent.
Previous Definition: This criterion indicates how well the estimated level of
environmental investment compares to the estimated impacts. A higher score
reflects early environmental demonstration projects would address the impacts in
a more proportionate manner. This criterion answered the question:
How well does the early environmental demonstration opportunity offset the
transportation project impacts?
Updated Definition: This criterion indicates how well the estimated level of
environmental investment compares to the estimated impacts. A higher score
indicates that early environmental investment benefits would more
proportionately address the estimated project effects. This criterion will answer
the question:
How well does the early environmental demonstration opportunity offset
estimated transportation project effects?
6. Timeliness of Benefits (Change) -- This criterion was removed from the
screening. During the pilot process, it did not help to distinguish the sites. It also
does not align with the objective of looking for environmental investments with
13
the most environmental benefit. In some cases, it may take more time to see
higher benefit.
Previous Definition: This criterion refers to how soon the site would provide
benefits after construction. A higher score indicates more immediate benefits.
7. Ownership/Availability (Ease of Acquisition) (Change) -- The name was changed
to Ownership (Ease of Acquisition). The change was initiated to minimize
confusion with the fatal flaw "Availability of the Project." This identifies how
property ownership will affect project feasibility.
' Previous Definition: This criterion refers to the ease of site acquisition. A higher
score indicates favorable conditions for acquiring land. Consideration was given
to the following questions:
• Are there multiple owners?
■ Is the site owned publicly or privately?
' Is the site for sale?
• Would condemnation be required?
Updated Definition: This criterion refers to the ease of site acquisition. A higher
score indicates favorable conditions for acquiring land based on ownership of the
parcel or parcels. Consideration will be given to the following questions:
' ■ Are there multiple owners?
• Is the site owned publicly or privately?
■ Is the site for sale?
■ Would condemnation be required?
8. Consistency with Local Land Use Plans and Local, State, and Federal
' Regulations (Change) -- The criterion was eliminated. During the pilot process,
this criterion did not help to distinguish sites. All projects received a medium
score during the pilot process. Environmental investments must comply with or
' address planning issues and land use conflicts, and the projects must comply
with environmental and planning regulations.
Previous Definition: This criterion addresses potential land use conflicts. A
higher score indicates fewer or no land use conflicts.
Is the environmental investment or restoration opportunity consistent with land
use plans and regulations such as comprehensive plans, master plans, critical
areas ordinances, and other regulations?
9. Potential for Loss of Environmental Investment Opportunity (No Change)
Definition: This criterion addresses the impending risks of losing a site for
' environmental investment due to other development. A higher score indicates
the site has a higher risk of being lost and, therefore, may benefit more from
early action in order to prevent its loss to other development.
' Is the environmental opportunity at risk of being otherwise developed?
1 14
10. Level of Protect Support (Change) -- During the pilot process, this criterion was
quantified by counting the number of planning documents in which the project
was listed. Overlapping environmental planning among agencies that occurred
in the South Renton area, partly due to a published Corps document, is not
expected to occur in other areas. Instead, a value will be given to this criterion
based on input from task force participants and other local representatives, about
perceived support and opposition to using the project site.
Previous Definition: This criterion addresses the level of support for each of the
projects. A higher score indicates a higher level of public support. All projects
were assumed to have some level of support because they were extracted
mainly from published documents put together by jurisdictions, WRIAs, the Army
Corps of Engineers, and basin plans. In general, if the project was listed in one
document, it received a low rating relative to projects found in more sources, and
if the project was listed in three or more sources, it was given a high rating.
Updated Definition: This criterion addresses the level of support for each of the
projects. A higher score indicates a higher level of public support and a lower
level of public opposition. Input from the task force about their knowledge of
support or opposition to the project will be imperative to score this criterion
effectively.
11. Cost Effectiveness (No Change)
Definition: This criterion compares the preliminary project costs to the estimated
amount of functional benefits of the project.
12. Credits Generated (Change) -- The basic premise of this criterion remains
unchanged. However, the eco-unit will not be used. The eco-unit developed by
the Corps was not a sufficiently clear number to most people, and it will not be an
effective measurement for the team to use with other projects. The new method
of quantifying this criterion will be a work -in -progress based on standard
requirements and ongoing discussions with the permitting agencies.
Previous Definition: This criterion refers to the number of mitigation credits the
site would generate relative to the expected impacts and cost of an EEI. A
higher score indicates that a higher number of credits would be expected for the
project. Most site scores for this criterion resulted from the consideration of an
eco-unit number developed by the Corps and other agencies in the development
of the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Draft
Restoration Plan — Green/Duwamish River Basin. (U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. June 2000)
Updated Definition: This criterion refers to the number of environmental credits
the site would generate relative to the expected impacts and cost of an EEI. A
higher score indicates that a higher number of credits would be expected for the
project.
15
13. Level of Partnership Opportunities (No Change)
Definition: This criterion refers to the potential of partnering with other
jurisdictions or organizations. For example, if King County Parks owns property
that needs restoration, WSDOT, through agreement with the County, may
receive mitigation credit for completing the restoration work, but may not need to
acquire the site or provide for long-term site protection and maintenance. A
higher score indicates higher potential for partnership opportunities.
Are there partnership opportunities available that would assist in leveraging
project funds or enhancing long-term manageability of the site?
