Two gravity sewer route alternatives have been evaluated to determine the most cost effective and low impact alternative. 2.0 BACKGROUND The East Renton Lift Station is just under 10 years old. The lift station serves to pump sewage from nearby residential neighborhoods (Maplewood Estates, Parkside Court, Shy Creek, Liberty Ridge, and others for a service area of approximately 430 acres) to the gravity sewer system located near N.E. 4th Street. The City of Renton (City) prefers to serve customers via a gravity sewer pipeline, rather than a lift station whenever feasible. A gravity system eliminates electricity costs for pumping and equipment maintenance, which greatly reduces annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs. Based on survey data, conversion to a gravity system is possible at this location by crossing through an undeveloped portion of Maplewood Park (the Park) and connecting to the Briar Hills Division No. 4 sewer system to the south. Alternatives for a gravity sewer are discussed in this analysis. The current land use authority associated with permitting and regulatory requirements for the proposed project is King County. However, the Park may be annexed from King County to the City some time in the future, thus regulatory permit requirements and mitigation costs are discussed and compared depending on whether the Park is within unincorporated King County or annexed to the City. 3.0 GRAVITY SEWER ROUTE ALTERNATIVES Two gravity sewer alignments are presented in this section. The sewer route alignments are presented as Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. An overview of the Park and the proposed alignment of each sewer route is depicted in Figure 1. A detailed alignment of each sewer route identifying construction and installation issues is presented in Figure 2. The final section of sewer pipeline located in Briar Hills Division No. 4 is common to both alternatives and is discussed collectively in this section. Constructability and phasing of the new pipeline is also discussed at the end of this section. Refer to Appendix A for wetland, stream, and other regulatory requirements discussed for each alternative. The two alternatives are summarized below.

The pipeline is assumed to be polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. High -density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe will be analyzed as a potential pipe material during pre -design. The gravity sewer is estimated to include approximately 80 feet of 10-inch diameter (inside diameter) piping and 950 feet of 15-inch diameter (inside diameter) piping (includes piping in 148th Place S.E.). The first approximate 80 feet of 10-inch diameter piping will be installed such that the flow path direction between SSMH's 080 and 079 is reversed from the existing configuration. To change the flow path direction from the existing configuration, SSMH 080 will require approximately 15 feet of concrete fill, which will equal the approximate invert elevation of the existing 10-inch diameter influent sewer line from the east. SSMH 079 will require approximately 14 feet of concrete fill, which will equal the approximate invert elevation of the existing 12-inch diameter influent sewer line from the west. The existing 12-inch diameter sewer line that currently connects SSMH 079 to SSMH 080 is assumed to be plugged and abandoned in place as its depth does not necessitate removal for installation of the new sewer line above. Based on geologic mapping, site observations, and nearby exploration work, the entire area is underlain by Vashon glacial till which is typically a very dense to hard soil. This is an ideal material to excavate open trenches for sewer installation (refer to Appendix B). Cut depths for this section of pipe are estimated to be 12 feet deep. The pipeline could be installed by dragging trench boxes for trench support. Temporary fence removal will be required for installation of this section of pipeline. From SSMH 079, approximately 780 feet of 15-inch diameter pipe will be routed south through the Park to existing SSMH 086. Installation of this section of pipe is anticipated to include the following: • Temporary diversion of a stream. • Wetland and stream mitigation. • Clearing, grubbing, and tree removal of an estimated 20-foot wide path. • Gas, storm drain, and water line crossing. • Overhead utility line/pole and underground telephone line crossing and/or relocation. • Average open cut trench depth equal 10 feet. March 4, 2010 - FINAL 4 pw:lloco-pw-app:Caroilo1DocumentslGienflWAlRenton18235X00\Deliverables\Rpt - East Renton.doc Native material trench backfill. Trench box for trench support. In this alternative, the pipeline will immediately cross beneath an existing 30-inch diameter storm drain and along side an existing water line and isolation water valve. In the next 50 feet, the pipeline will parallel and potentially cross an existing underground telephone line. Relocation of the telephone line may be required. The pipeline will then cross beneath an existing power/utility pole. Permanent or temporary relocation of the power pole may be required. The utility crossings in this section of pipeline are not anticipated to pose any major conflicts. Approximately 100 feet downstream of SSMH 079, the pipeline will require crossing beneath a small stream running through the Park. Mitigation will be required for this section of pipe. The pipeline is assumed to be longitudinally bent for the last approximate 400 feet. A minimum bend radius of 363 feet (250 times outside pipe diameter) is recommended. To eliminate potential for infiltration, the pipeline is assumed to use fusible technology to connect piping segments. In this section of alignment, the pipeline will parallel an existing overhead utility line and will cross beneath an existing 2-inch diameter polyethylene gas line. The gas line follows an S-shaped path through the Park paralleling a King County owned 30-foot wide tract designated as "open space." The gas line is anticipated to be buried at minimum 3-foot depth and will likely not cause major installation conflicts. This will be confirmed during pre -design. The utility lines and poles may require permanent or temporary relocation. The pipeline is also routed within close proximity to Wetlands B, C, and D. Mitigation for wetland buffer crossing is anticipated to be required. Before connecting to the existing manhole at the south end of the Park, the pipeline will cross under the 2-inch diameter gas line up to three more times (based on current survey by PACE Engineers) and an existing 30-inch diameter corrugated metal pipe storm drain. Pipeline clearance under the existing storm drain is estimated to be only 1.4 feet based on current survey. Precautions shall be taken for each crossing. The pipeline will connect to the existing manhole at an approximate invert elevation of 367.6 feet. The sewer pipeline is routed within approximately 35 feet of the existing stream near the connection with the existing manhole. Mitigation is anticipated to be required for crossing of the stream buffer. Tree removal will be required along the entire alignment of Alternative 1. If this alternative is selected for pre -design, additional survey to the west may be required to depict topography not shown on the current survey. 3.1.2 Alternative 2 Alterative 2 includes a sewer pipeline routed east from existing SSMH 079 to existing SSMH 080 and then south through the Park to existing SSMH 086, located at the north end March 4, 2010 - FINAL 5 pw:lloco-pw-app:Carollo\Documents\ClientlWAlRenton18235XO(hDeliverables\Rpt - East Renton.doc of 148th Place S.E. in Briar Hills Division No. 4. The pipeline is assumed to be fusible PVC sewer pipe. The gravity sewer pipeline is estimated to include approximately 80 feet of 12- inch diameter piping (inside diameter) and 1,030 feet of 15-inch diameter (inside diameter) piping (includes piping in 148th Place S.E.). The first approximately 80 feet of 12-inch diameter piping will be installed above the existing 12-inch diameter sewer line running from SSMH 079 to SSMH 080. The purpose of relaying this pipeline at a shallower elevation is to reduce cut depths for the pipeline through the Park. SSMH 079 will require approximately 14 feet of concrete fill, which will equal the approximate invert elevation of the existing 12-inch diameter influent sewer line from the west. SSMH 080 will require approximately 12 feet of concrete fill, which will equal the approximate invert elevation of the new 16-inch diameter pipeline as this new pipeline is anticipated to be core drilled beneath the existing 10-inch diameter influent sewer line from the east. The existing sewer line that currently connects SSMH 079 to SSMH 080 is assumed to be plugged and abandoned in place similar to described in Alternative 1. Installation of this section of pipeline will be similar to Alternative 1. From SSMH 080, approximately 860 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline will be routed south through the Park to existing SSMH 086. Installation of this section of pipe is anticipated to include the following: • Wetland and stream mitigation. • Clearing, grubbing, and tree removal of an estimated 20-foot wide path. • Water line crossing. • Average open cut trench depth equal 9 feet. • Native material trench backfill. • Trench box for trench support. The sewer pipeline will cross under a water line approximately 50 feet from SSMH 080. The water line shall be potholed prior to pipeline installation. It is not anticipated that relocation of the water line will be required. The pipeline is assumed to follow an arced path for the majority of the alignment at a minimum bend radius of 363 feet (see discussion for Alternative 1). The pipeline is also routed within close proximity to Wetlands B, E, F, and G and the stream. Mitigation for wetland and stream buffer crossing may be required. Near the south end of the Park and the end of the alignment, the pipeline will be routed through Wetland A. It is assumed that the pipeline cannot be economically routed around Wetland A, as ESA Adolfson (ESA) has confirmed that the wetland extends further east. March 4, 2010 - FINAL 6 pw:lloco-pw-app:Carollo\DocumentslGienBWA\Renton18235X001Deliverables\Rpt - East Renton.doc Additional survey should be conducted if this alternative would like to be pursued by the City. Mitigation for work within Wetland A will be required. The pipeline will connect to an existing manhole at the south end of the Park at an approximate invert elevation of 367.6 feet. The pipeline is routed within approximately 50 feet of the existing stream near the connection with the existing manhole. Mitigation is anticipated to be required for crossing of the stream buffer. Tree removal will be required along the entire alignment of Alternative 2. If this alternative is selected for pre -design, additional survey to the east will be required to depict topography not shown on the current survey. 3.1.3 Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 Common Pipeline The final approximate 170 feet of 15-inch diameter sewer pipeline is common to both alignment alternatives. The existing 8-inch diameter PVC gravity sewer pipe located in 148th Place S.E. between SSMH 086 and SSMH 5314 090 will require upsizing to accommodate additional flows. It is assumed that the existing pipeline will be excavated via open cut trenching methods and replaced with new 15-inch diameter PVC gravity sewer pipe. Trench depths are estimated to be 10 feet deep and the pipeline could be installed by dragging trench boxes for trench support. Fence removal and replacement for access and pipeline installation will be required at the north end of 148th Place Southeast. 3.1.4 Constructability and Phasing Both alternatives present different construction complexities; however, the construction equipment and methods utilized are straight forward. Access to the north end of the Park is from a gravel road off S.E. 2nd Court in Maplewood Estates, while access to the south can be provided via 148th Place S.E. in Briar Hills Division No. 4. For both alternatives, the entire pipeline to can be constructed and connected to the existing manholes while the pump station remains in service. During the concrete fill of SSMH's 079 and 080, bypass pumping from an upstream manhole to the lift station or new gravity pipeline will be required. 4.0 PERMITTING AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Permitting will be required for both alternatives as construction of the new pipeline involves work within and near wetlands and streams; however, in some cases, King County's regulations are more restrictive than the City's. See Table 1 below for a summary of each jurisdiction's regulations. Regulatory requirements from other agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps], Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology], and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW]) also regulate alteration of streams and wetlands. These other requirements remain similar under either King County or City ownership of the site. Refer to Appendices A and C for detailed permitting and regulatory requirements.

Notes: 1 Table provided by ESA. Refer to Table 1 in Appendix C. Permitting and mitigation construction costs are difficult to estimate. However, it is anticipated that King County will have higher permitting costs than the City due to the larger critical area impacts. Permitting costs are not included in the Cost Analysis portion of this report as ESA indicates that the exact costs for permit application and review are difficult to determine at this stage of the project. Mitigation construction costs would be generally higher under King County ownership due to the result of larger stream and wetland buffers. Mitigation construction costs for each alternative are summarized in the following section of this report. Refer to Appendix C for an in depth comparison of estimated permitting and mitigation costs between the two alternatives. As discussed above, King County would require significantly more mitigation for wetland impacts than the City, so the determination of the Park being incorporated into the City is needed to confirm the area of mitigation required. For both jurisdictions, it is estimated that Alternative 2 will have higher permitting and mitigation costs than Alternative 1 due to direct wetland impacts. 5.0 COST ANALYSIS The cost analysis for the sewer route alternatives includes total estimated construction, mitigation, and project cost (expected accuracy range of +50 percent to -30 percent). The costs for each alternative are presented for King County and City ownership. See Appendix D for detailed cost estimate spreadsheets. March 4, 2010 - FINAL 9 pw:lloco-pw-app:CarollolDocumentslCiienhWAlRenton\8235X001DeliverableslRpt - East Renton.doc 5.1 Total Project Cost The construction costs for each alternative were calculated assuming the following: • Contingency = 30 percent. • Contractor overhead, profit, and risk = 10 percent. • Sales Tax = 9.5 percent. • General conditions = 15 percent. The total project cost includes an additional 30 percent of the sum of the construction and mitigation cost to account for all allied costs (i.e. construction and engineering). The total project cost for each alternative is shown in Table 2. The total project cost range for Alternatives 1 and 2 under King County ownership is $710,000 to $730,000 and $750,000 to $820,000, respectively. The total project cost range for Alternatives 1 and 2 under City ownership is $600,000 to $610,000 and $600,000 to $640,000, respectively. 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the investigations performed in this analysis, Alternative 1 is recommended for implementation to replace the East Renton Lift Station. Alternative 1 is preferred to Alternative 2 for the following reasons: • Total project cost • Less impacts to wetlands • Less uncertainty in mitigation costs A gravity sewer pipeline will reduce 0&M costs, simplify maintenance operations, require less upgrades in the future, and be less vulnerable to failure due to lack of mechanical and electrical equipment. It is recommended that the City select Alternative 1 for pre -design.

The project is to install a new sewer pipe to convey wastewater from an existing pump station located just north of the park to an existing sewer main located south of the park. The pipe would cross the central part of Maplewood Park. The Scope of Work for this report included delineating wetlands and streams, assessing wetland functions, and documenting wildlife habitat in the study area. The study area for this project is located in Maplewood Park in unincorporated King County, adjacent to the city limits of Renton. Maplewood Park is an approximately 45-acre King County park that is surrounded by residential developments. The study area for this project is a north - south corridor approximately 300 feet wide located in the central, undeveloped portion of the park. The corridor connects an existing City of Renton pump station located just north of the park to an existing sewer line within 148`h Place SE south of the park. The study area contains a mixed conifer -deciduous forest crossed by unpaved foot trails. The forest was historically logged and the trees are relatively young. The site contains evidence of other past disturbance including an old concrete building foundation. An overhead power line runs along the western edge of the study area, and a buried gas line also extends north to south through the study corridor. Seven palustrine forested wetlands (designated Wetlands A through G) and two streams were identified within the study area boundaries. The wetlands and the onsite streams are hydrologically connected. Surface water flows across the site from north to south. Most of the wetlands are located directly adjacent to or near the on -site streams and receive overbank flows as well as groundwater. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington State Department of Ecology, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulate alteration of streams or wetlands in the study area. Critical areas regulations of the City of Renton and/or King County also apply and are summarized in the table below. The critical area classifications and buffers listed in the table are subject to verification and approval by the regulatory agencies. All of the regulatory agencies require applicants to avoid and minimize wetland, stream, and buffer impacts. When permanent impacts are unavoidable, mitigation is required.

These types of wetland mitigation are commonly used. Other types of wetland mitigation are possible, and ratios for these are listed in the city and county codes and described in the report text. The City and County codes contain specific requirements for utility crossings of critical areas; for example, construction methods and timing, location of the utility relative to aquatic resources, prevention of adverse impacts to stream channels or hydrology, tree removal. Both local jurisdictions regulate grading and vegetation clearing, particularly within critical areas and their buffers. The City of Renton prohibits tree removal and land clearing within wetlands, streams, and buffers unless the proposed activity is exempt from critical area requirements, or through a variance process. King County requires a permit for clearing or grading within wetlands, aquatic areas, and their buffers. page ii ESA Adolfsoit June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Studv CONTENTS 1.0 PROJECT AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK.......................................................1 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION....................................................................................................................

The project is to install a new sewer pipe to convey wastewater from an existing pump station located just north of the park to an existing sewer main located south of the park. The pipe would cross the central part of Maplewood Park. The Scope of Work for this project included delineating wetlands and streams, assessing wetland functions, and documenting wildlife habitat in the study area. A brief discussion of regulatory implications and permitting considerations is also included in this report. An analysis of potential impacts to streams or wetlands and the development of a mitigation plan were not included in this Scope of Work. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The study area for this project is located in Maplewood Park in unincorporated King County, adjacent to the city limits of Renton (Figure 1). The park is located on a plateau on the north side of the Cedar River valley, within Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 8) — Cedar/Sammamish River drainage. Maplewood Park is an approximately 45-acre King County park that is surrounded by residential developments. Maplewood Heights Elementary School lies adjacent to the northwest side of the park. Developed recreation facilities including picnic areas and playfields are located in the southwest portion of the park. The study area for this project is a north -south corridor approximately 300 feet wide located in the central, undeveloped portion of the park. The corridor connects an existing City of Renton pump station located just north of the park to an existing sewer line within 148`b Place SE south of the park. The limits of the study area corridor were established during a site meeting attended by ESA Adolfson, Carollo Engineers, and PACE Engineers staff in April 2009. The study area contains a mixed conifer -deciduous forest crossed by unpaved foot trails. The forest was historically logged and the trees are relatively young. The site contains evidence of other past disturbance including an old concrete building foundation. An overhead power line runs along the western edge of the study area, and a buried gas line also extends north to south through the study corridor. A stream flows through the study area from north to south. Several wetlands are associated with the stream, as discussed below. Elevations range from 400 feet at the north end of the study area down to 378 feet at the south end of the study area. 3.0 WETLAND DEFINITION AND REGULATIONS The characteristics of an area that result in its classification as "wetland" have been formally defined by federal and state agencies, as described in Appendix A. Numerous federal, state, and ESA Adolfson page 1 June 2009 East Renton Lill Station - Welland, Stream and Wildlife Study local regulations govern development and other activities in or near wetlands; at each level, there are typically several agencies charged with such powers. Specific regulatory implications concerning the subject property are summarized later in this report. 4.0 METHODS Two levels of investigation were conducted for the analysis of wetlands, streams, and wildlife habitat in the study area: a review of existing information and an on -site investigation. 4.1 Review of Existing Information ESA Adolfson reviewed existing literature, maps, and other materials to identify streams, wetlands, or site characteristics indicative of wetlands on the subject property. These sources can only indicate the likelihood of the presence of wetlands; actual wetland determinations must be based upon data obtained from field investigations. Several documents were reviewed: • Soil Survey of King County Area, Washington (Snyder et al., 1973); • Hydric Soils of the State of Washington (NRCS, 1995); • National Wetland Inventory mapping (USFWS, 2007); • King County critical areas mapping; • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife mapping of priority habitats and species (WDFW, 2008); and • Washington Department of Natural Resources mapping of rare plant communities (WDNR, 2008). 4.2 On -site Investigation 4.2.1 Determining the Presence of Wetlands and Delineating Wetland Boundaries Methods defined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Ecology, 1997) were used to determine the presence and extent of wetlands in the study area. Washington state and all local governments must use the state delineation manual to implement the Shoreline Management Act and/or the local regulations adopted pursuant to the Growth Management Act. The Washington state manual is consistent with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). The Corps has been working with states, federal agencies, and others to develop supplemental regional criteria to refine the 1987 delineation manual. Two regions fall within the state of Washington: The Arid West (dry lands west of the Continental Divide, from Idaho and eastern Washington south to the U.S. - Mexico border) and the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast. Interim Regional Supplements to the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual have been completed by the Corps for page 2 ESA Adolfson Ane 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study both regions in Washington, and the appropriate supplement is now used, along with the Washington State Delineation Manual, when conducting delineations in those regions (Corps, 2008). The methodology outlined in the manuals is based upon three essential characteristics of wetlands: (1) hydrophytic vegetation; (2) hydric soils; and (3) wetland hydrology. Field indicators of these three characteristics must all be present in order to determine that an area is a wetland (unless problem areas or atypical situations are encountered). The "routine on -site determination method" was used to determine the wetland boundaries. The routine method is used for areas equal to or less than five acres in size, or for larger areas with relatively homogeneous vegetative, soil, and hydrologic properties. Formal data plots were established where information regarding each of the three wetland parameters (vegetation, soils, and hydrology) was recorded. This information was used to distinguish wetlands from non -wetlands. Where wetlands were determined to be present on the subject property, the wetland boundaries were delineated. Wetland boundaries were identified with sequentially numbered colored flagging imprinted with the words WETLAND DELINEATION. Data plot locations were also marked with colored flagging. The methods used to assess wetland characteristics are described in greater detail in Appendix A. Please note that common plant names are used throughout this text; the scientific names are presented in Appendix B. 4.2.2 Classifying Wetlands Two classification systems are commonly used to describe wetlands. The hydrogeomorphic (HGM) system describes wetlands in terms of their position in the landscape and the movement of water in the wetland (Brinson, 1993). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979) describes wetlands in terms of their vegetation communities; these include, for example, emergent, scrub -shrub, and forested community types. 4.2.3 Assessing Wetland Functions Wetlands and buffers play important roles that provide valuable benefits to the environment and society. Because detailed scientific knowledge of wetland functions is limited, evaluations of the functions of individual wetlands are somewhat qualitative and dependent upon professional judgment. For this project, wetland functions were assessed using the Washington State Department of Ecology's Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (Hruby, 2004). Although this system is designed to rate wetlands, it is based on whether a particular wetland performs a particular function and the relative level to which the function is performed. An assessment of wetland functions is inherent in the rating system. This system was developed by Ecology to differentiate wetlands based on their sensitivity to disturbance, their significance, their rarity, our ability to replace them, and the beneficial functions they provide to society. Appendix C ESA Adolfson page 3 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study provides additional information about the rating system wetland categories and completed rating forms for the project. 5.0 FINDINGS 5.1 Existing Information 5.1.1 Soils The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) maps soils in the study area as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes (Figure 2). This soil type is not considered hydric but may contain unmapped small areas (inclusions) of hydric soils (MRCS, 2009). 5.1.2 Streams and Fish The study area is located within the Cedar River watershed. The Cedar River supports Chinook salmon (federally listed as threatened), coho salmon, sockeye salmon, bull trout/Dolly Varden (federally listed threatened), and winter steelhead (federally listed threatened) (WDFW, 2009). Maplewood Creek, a tributary of the Cedar River, is located west of the park (Figure 2). The lower portion of Maplewood Creek supports coho salmon (WDFW, 2009). The unnamed stream observed in the study area has not been mapped by King County (Figure 2). WDFW does not map fish use in this stream (WDFW, 2008, 2009). Anadromous fish use of the unnamed stream is not likely because the stream enters the storm drain system south of the park boundary, preventing fish access into Maplewood Park. 5.1.3 Wetlands King County and the National Wetland Inventory map riparian wetlands along the Cedar River, as well as scattered wetlands on the plateau north of the valley (Figure 3). No wetlands are mapped within Maplewood Park or the study area. 5.1.4 Wildlife The WDFW priority habitats and species (PHS) database does not identify sensitive species or habitats within Maplewood Park or the immediate vicinity. Bald eagles, which are protected by state and federal law, use the Cedar River. WDFW maps riparian areas, a type of priority habitat, along the river, as well as wetlands and vegetated corridors (urban natural open space) (WDFW, 2008). 5.2 Field Investigation The following sections describe the results of the field investigation conducted by ESA Adolfson biologists Sara Noland and Rosemary Baker on the East Renton Lift Station site on April 29, May 5, May 7, May 8, and June 19, 2009. These sections describe the wetlands and stream identified on the site, upland habitats, and wildlife observations. page 4 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study Seven wetlands and two streams were identified within the study area boundaries (Figure 4). Pace Engineers, Inc. surveyed the wetland and stream boundary flags. Fourteen data plots were established within relatively uniform areas of vegetation on the site. Data sheets for each of the formal data plots evaluated for this project are provided in Appendix D. Photos of each of the wetlands are attached at the end of this report. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the onsite wetlands. Each wetland is described following the table. In general, the wetlands and the onsite streams are hydrologically connected. Surface water flows across the site from north to south. Most of the wetlands are located directly adjacent to or near the. on -site streams and receive overbank flows as well as groundwater. The wetlands are also connected by a young but relatively intact forested community that extends across most of the park. Table 1.

The wetland extends offsite to the east of the study corridor. The onsite portion of the wetland is 3,490 square feet. The total wetland size is approximately 7,000 square feet. The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is slope and depressional. A shallow swale that is also used as an informal foot trail runs through the southern portion of the wetland. Data Plot (DP) 2 represents the wetland community, and DP 1 represents the upland community adjacent to Wetland A. 5.2.1.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland A is supported by surface flows from upslope areas to the east during heavy rain events, as well as a seasonally high groundwater table. No surface inundation was observed in the wetland in April 2009. However, during early May 2009, following a rainy period, approximately two inches of surface water was flowing through the shallow swale within the wetland to enter the onsite stream. The lower part of the swale adjacent to the stream is armored with concrete. In addition to observations of surface inundation, other hydrology indicators included sediment deposits, drift deposits, water stained leaves, and algal growth on bare soils. 5.2.1.1.2 Soils Soils sampled in Wetland A appeared to have been disturbed by past land uses, probably logging, grading, and burning. The soil profile at DP 2 consisted of silty loam and silty fine sand. From the surface to four inches deep, the soil color was very dark brown (1 OYR 2/2). From four to 10 inches deep, soil colors were a mixture of very dark grayish brown, dark brown, and dark yellowish brown (I OYR 3/2, 3/3, and 3/4); charcoal was evident in this soil layer. The lower portion of the soil profile (10 to 16 inches) was dark brown (1 OYR 3/3) with concretions. These soils do not match the NRCS description of the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam that is mapped in this area. Water was seeping into the bottom of the soil pit. Given the strong evidence of wetland hydrology and vegetation, as well as evidence of past soil disturbance, we assumed that soils were hydric in this area. 5.2.1.1.3 Vegetation Wetland A contains an immature forested community dominated by red alder and black cottonwood. The understory is composed mainly of salmonberry with some cascara and Douglas' spirea. Herbaceous cover is sparse and dominated by sedges. The shallow swale within the wetland contains sparse sedges with a forest overstory. 5.2.2 Wetland B Wetland B is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 6,540 square feet in size (Figure 4). The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is a combination of slope, depressional, and riverine. The onsite stream bisects the wetland, and an unpaved foot trail runs parallel to the east side of the stream. Data Plot (DP) 3 represents the wetland community. Upland areas near Wetland B are represented by DP 6 and DP 12. page 6 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 5.2.2.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland B is supported by groundwater, surface runoff, and overbank flows from the stream during heavy rain events. During early May 2009, we observed shallow surface water flowing downslope along the foot trail through Wetland B, along with areas of ponding. Other hydrology indicators included sediment deposits, drift deposits, water -stained leaves, and drainage patterns. 5.2.2.1.2 Soils Soils at the sampling plot in Wetland B (DP 3) consisted of a layer of silty sandy loam from the surface to 12 inches deep, with gravelly sand from 12 to 18 inches. It appeared that surface flows deposit silt in this part of the wetland. Soils colors were very dark brown (1 OYR 2/2) in the top layer and olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) with redoximorphic features (concentrations) in the lower layer. The soil had a stripped matrix, indicating hydric conditions. These soils have been disturbed and do not match the NRCS description of the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam that is mapped in this area. 5.2.2.1.3 Vegetation Wetland B is a palustrine forested wetland of primarily black cottonwood with an understory of Pacific ninebark, salmonberry, willow, and Himalayan blackberry. The vegetation community is dominated by hydrophytic plant species. 5.2.3 Wetland C Wetland C is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 190 square feet in size (Figure 4). The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is depressional. No data plots were completed for this wetland due to its small size and similarity to other wetlands in the study area. 5.2.3.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland C is supported by groundwater and surface runoff. During early May 2009, we observed ponding a few inches deep within the wetland. 5.2.3.1.2 Soils Similar to Wetland A, soils in Wetland C appeared highly disturbed as a result of past grading and logging. 5.2.3.1.3 Vegetation Wetland C is sparsely vegetated and has a forest overstory of red alder. 5.2.4 Wetland D Wetland D is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 2,600 square feet in size. Wetland D is a slope wetland containing two depressions which may have been excavated in the past. The wetland is represented by DP 5 and DP 13 (Figure 4). ESA Adolfson page 7 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 5.2.4.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland D is supported by overbank flow from the stream, groundwater, and surface runoff from surrounding uplands. In April 2009, hydrology indicators at DP 5 included soil saturation at nine inches depth, as well as sediment deposits and water -stained leaves within the depressions. In May 2009, ponding was present within the depressions, and groundwater was seeping from the adjacent slope into the northeastern part of the wetland. At DP 13, completed in May, hydrology indicators included a water table at 12 inches depth and soil saturation at 7 inches depth. The wetland is within a few feet of the stream and likely receives overbank flooding during storms. 5.2.4.1.2 Soils Soils in Wetland D appeared disturbed, likely as a result of past grading and logging. At DP 5, soils were sandy silt in the upper part with gravelly sand below, and a mix of matrix colors and charcoal. At DP 13, soil matrix colors were also mixed and included mucky mineral (organic) material and oxidized root channels, both indicators of hydric conditions. These soils do not match the NRCS description of the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam that is mapped in this area. 5.2.4.1.3 Vegetation Wetland D has a canopy dominated by black cottonwood and red alder. The southern part of the wetland has an understory of Pacific ninebark, salmonberry, and red -osier dogwood, while the northern part of the wetland has sparse shrubs and more emergent species such as creeping buttercup. 5.2.5 Wetland E Wetland E is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 11,050 square feet in size (Figure 4). The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is depressional, slope, and riverine. The wetland is associated with the northern part of the onsite stream. Wetland E is represented by DP 8 and 9. 5.2.5.1.1 Hydrology The onsite stream enters the northwest portion of Wetland E and exits the southeast portion of the wetland (Figure 4). A defined stream channel is lacking in the center of the wetland, and surface water sheet flows through this area. The hydrology of Wetland E is supported by a high groundwater table and surface runoff, including overbank flows from the stream during heavy rain events, as was observed in May 2009. In addition to observations of surface ponding up to several inches deep within the wetland, hydrology indicators observed at the data plots included soil saturation near the surface and a high water table. 5.2.5.1.2 Soils Soils in Wetland E at DP 8 were a black (IOYR 2/1) silt loam from the surface to four inches deep, and a brown (IOYR 4/3) gravelly silty sand with redoximorphic features from four to 16 inches deep. At DP 9, soils were black (IOYR 2/1) silty clay loam and gravelly sandy loam from the surface to 15 inches deep; below 15 inches, the soil was black (7.5YR 2.5/1) silty loam. Page 8 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Welland, Stream and Wildlife Study These observations indicate the presence of hydric soils. These soils do not match the NRCS description of the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam that is mapped in this area. 5.2.5.1.3 Vegetation Similar to other wetlands in the study area, Wetland E is a forested wetland with an overstory of black cottonwood and red alder, as well as some western red cedar. The dominant understory species is salmonberry, with some Pacific ninebark and red elderberry. Ground cover is sparse and includes lady fern, sword fern, and sedges. 5.2.6 Wetland F Wetland F is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 6,170 square feet in size (Figure 4). The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is slope, depressional, and riverine. DP 11 represents the wetland community. 5.2.6.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland F is supported by a high groundwater table and surface runoff. Hydrology indicators at DP 11 included surface ponding two inches deep, a water table at five inches below the surface, and soil saturation to the surface. Sediment deposits, water -stained leaves, and drainage patterns were also present. Following a rain storm in early May 2009, we observed surface water flowing south from the tributary stream adjacent to Wetland G, over a foot trail and into Wetland F. (The hydrologic connection between the tributary and Wetland F is not shown on Figure 4 because water sheet flows across the trail and there is no defined channel in this area.) 6.2.6.1.2 Soils Soils at DP 11 had a high organic content in the upper layer, and streaks of organic material in the lower layers, indicating past disturbance of the soil profile. From the surface to five inches deep, the soil was a very dark brown (1 OYR 2/2) silt loam. From five to eight inches deep the soil was a very dark grayish brown (1 OYR 3/2) gravelly silt. Soil in the lower layer (eight to 16 inches) was a dark yellowish brown (I OYR 3/4) gravelly sandy loam with cobbles. These soils do not match the NRCS description of the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam that is mapped in this area. The organic content of the sampled soils is similar to the hydric soil indicator for mucky mineral soil. 5.2.6.1.3 Vegetation Wetland F is a forested wetland dominated by black cottonwood and red alder. The understory is primarily Douglas' spirea, Pacific ninebark, and sword fern. This wetland has been heavily disturbed by past clearing and grading, and much of the vegetation community is dominated by Himalayan blackberry. 5.2.7 Wetland G Wetland G is a palustrine forested (PFO) wetland 2,200 square feet in size (Figure 4). The wetland is located adjacent to the onsite stream and contains a separate small tributary drainage. The hydrogeomorphic classification of this wetland is a combination of depressional, slope, and ESA Adolfson page 9 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study riverine. This wetland is just north of Wetland F and has similar plant communities and soils; therefore no data plot was completed. 5.2.7.1.1 Hydrology The hydrology of Wetland G is supported by a high groundwater table and surface runoff, including overbank flooding from the onsite stream and the small tributary. Hydrology indicators included surface ponding, drainage patterns, and sediment deposits. As stated earlier, following a rain storm in early May 2009, surface water sheet flowed south from the tributary stream adjacent to Wetland G, over a foot trail and into Wetland F. 5.2.7.1.2 Soils Soils in Wetland G were similar to those in Wetland F, described above. 5.2.7.1.3 Vegetation Wetland G is a forested wetland dominated by black cottonwood and red alder. The understory is primarily Douglas' spirea. 5.2.8 Wetland Functions The seven wetlands and streams identified in the East Renton Lift Station study area are located close together and are hydrologically connected via surface water and probably groundwater during the rainy season. The vegetation communities within and surrounding the wetlands are very similar. All of the wetlands within the study area appear to function together as a system. Therefore, all of the wetlands were rated as one unit in accordance with the guidance for wetland mosaics in the Washington State Wetland Rating System (Hruby, 2004). The wetland rating form and sketches of each wetland are provided in Appendix C. The wetlands in the study area received a relatively high score for water quality improvement. Portions of the wetlands contain clay and organic soils and areas of seasonal ponding that allow for the chemical processes that can remove pollutants from surface runoff. The persistent, dense vegetation in most of the wetland area also serves to slow and filter runoff. The wetlands have the opportunity to remove pollutants from runoff that comes from nearby residential developments. The hydrologic functions of the wetlands were rated moderately high because the wetlands can store some surface flows, helping to prevent flooding downstream. Again the opportunity for the wetlands to provide this function is present because there are large developed areas immediately upstream and downstream of the site. This wetland system has high wildlife habitat functions because it provides a multi -layered forest with trees, shrubs, and ground cover vegetation. Much of the wetland vegetation consists of native species, with invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry limited to areas of past disturbance, particularly on the north and south edges of the site. The wetlands and streams also provide riparian and aquatic habitats, and there are snags and downed wood that provide additional habitat structures. page 10 ESA Adolfson Jame 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Stuck, 5.3 Streams and Other Aquatic Features The onsite stream shown on Figure 4 flows from north to south through the study corridor. Representative photos of the stream are attached at the end of this report. The stream channel averages approximately five feet wide, with portions of the channel in the northern part of the site up to 10 feet in width. As the stream passes through Wetland E, the channel becomes undefined and braided, such that water sheet flows through the wetland. Water was flowing in the channel during our April, May, and June site visits. Following rains in early May, surface water overflowed the stream banks and flooded into some of the onsite wetlands. The bottom of the stream channel is composed of sand and gravel. In some areas the channel is incised up to three feet deep, and there are areas of bank scouring. The stream enters the northern end of the study area via a plastic culvert, and exits the southern end of the study area via a grated concrete culvert. The stream then enters the storm drain system south of Maplewood Park. The small tributary crossing through Wetland G (Figure 4) was dry during April but contained a few inches of flowing water in early May. The tributary is three feet wide with a gravel bottom and appears to have formed as a result of overbank flows from the main stream. The riparian area along both the stream and the tributary consists of native forest and wetlands. Two detention ponds are located north of the study area (Figure 4). These ponds were artificially created in upland and would not be regulated as wetlands. 5.4 Upland Description Upland communities in the study area are represented by DP 1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, and I (Figure 4). Photos of upland areas on the site are attached at the end of this report. The uplands in the study area consist of two main community types: native, mixed conifer and deciduous forest; and cleared areas dominated by invasive vegetation. Native forest is dominant across most of the site, with invasive species present mainly at the north and south site boundaries and along foot trails. Within the native forest, dominant trees include red alder, black cottonwood, Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western red cedar. The forest community is fairly young, although some of the Douglas fir trees are large. Understory species include salal, snowberry, sahnonbenry, Oregon grape, and sword fern. Portions of the forest are open and parklike, while a dense understory is present in other areas. Unpaved foot trails parallel the stream and branch off into the rest of the park. The invasive herbaceous species herb Robert is present along the foot trails. The southern portion of the study area has been quite disturbed by past clearing and grading. Soils in this area were compacted, and the vegetation is dominated by non-native invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom, as well as native trailing blackberry. An infestation of yellow archangel (an invasive vine sold in ornamental flower baskets) was noted adjacent to the fence along the southern boundary of the study area. This species often becomes established as a result of homeowners dumping yard waste into the adjacent forest. ESA Adolfson page 11 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 5.5 Wildlife ESA Adolfson observed several bird species in the study area, including spotted towhee, American robin (nesting), song sparrow, American crow, black -capped chickadee, Anna's hummingbird, red -breasted sapsucker (excavations in trees), and Steller's jay. Mammals observed onsite included rabbit, raccoon (tracks), coyote (scat), and deer (tracks). Pacific treefrog calls were heard near the stream. Other species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians in addition to those observed are expected to use habitat on the project site. For example, nocturnal species may be present that were not active during the site visit, or other species may only be highly visible or present in this area during certain seasons. The site provides a relatively large and undisturbed forested area within a developed landscape. The combination of forest, stream, and wetlands contributes to the habitat value of the site. We observed several people using the foot trails and there was some garbage on the site, so there is some human disturbance of wildlife on the site. Domestic cats and dogs may also disturb wildlife on the site. In addition, the detention ponds north of the site provide habitat for species such as mallard, and songbirds such as cedar waxwing likely use the fringe of young alders near the eastern pond for perching and feeding on insects. 6.0 REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS Wetlands are regulated at the federal, state, and local levels. Agencies with jurisdiction include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), City of Renton, and King County. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates work within streams. Regulatory implications associated with development in wetlands, streams, or buffers include, but may not be limited to, those discussed in this section. All applicable permits should be obtained prior to developing or otherwise altering streams or wetlands. 6.1 Federal Regulations The Corps regulates discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the United States, including wetlands, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The purpose of the Clean Water Act is to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." A Section 404 permit may be required if a proposed project involves filling wetlands or altering streambeds or other waters of the U.S. The Corps will determine if wetlands are jurisdictional under Section 404 based upon the presence of a "significant nexus" to navigable waters (EPA and Corps, June 5, 2007). The Corps has established two types of permit programs under Section 404: nationwide and individual. Nationwide permits are issued when a proposed activity will have minimal adverse impacts to wetlands. All other projects are evaluated under the individual permitting process. page 12 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study The Corps determines which permitting process is used for a proposed project. The Corps will require that wetland impacts be avoided or minimized to the extent practicable, and mitigation will likely be required for unavoidable wetland impacts. 6.2 State Regulations The state certification process under Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act is usually triggered through a Section 404 permit application. Section 401 directs each state to certify that proposed in -water activities will not adversely affect water quality or violate state aquatic protection laws. In Washington State, Ecology is responsible for administering the state certification program. Ecology may issue approval, approval with conditions, denial, or a request for delay due to lack of information. Any conditions attached to the 401 certification become part of the Section 404 permit. King County is one of the 15 coastal counties in Washington regulated under the Washington State Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program. Activities that would affect coastal resources and involve approvals from the federal government (such as a Section 404 permit) must be evaluated for CZM compliance through a process called "federal consistency." The Washington State Department of Ecology administers the CZM program in this state. If relocation or alteration of stream culverts or other in -stream work is proposed as part of the project, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) would be required from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife under the state Hydraulic Code (RCW 77.55, WAC 220-110). 6.3 Local Regulations Two local jurisdictions are involved in the proposed project: the City of Renton, as the project proponent, and King County, as the current owner of Maplewood Park where the study area is located. This section presents wetland, stream, wildlife, and tree protection regulations of both jurisdictions. In some cases, one jurisdiction's regulations are more restrictive than the other's (for example, King County's wetland buffer requirements are larger than those of the City). The City and County will determine which jurisdiction's requirements apply to the project at the time when permit applications are submitted. 6.3.1 City of Renton The City of Renton regulates critical areas under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-3-050. The following discussion of critical area classifications and buffers is subject to verification and approval by the City. 6.3.1.1 Wetlands Section M of RMC 4-3-050 contains the City's regulations for wetlands. The wetlands in the study area meet the City's definition of Category 3 wetlands because they have been disturbed by historic land uses including utility installation and probably logging, grading, and burning. Evidence of site disturbance includes modification and armoring of the stream outlet that drains the wetland system, as well as disturbed soils, fill material, and altered vegetation (RMC 4-3- ESA Adolfson page 13 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 050(M)(1)(a)). Category 3 wetlands require a 25-foot buffer, as shown on Figure 4 (RMC 4-3- 050(M)(6)(c)). The City requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland impacts. When impacts to a wetland or wetland buffer are unavoidable, mitigation is required. Wetland mitigation requirements are detailed in RMC 4-3-050(M)(9) through (16). The City requires "no net loss" of wetland acreage, meaning that an equivalent or greater area of wetland must be restored or created to compensate for impacts. Wetland enhancement is allowed in conjunction with wetland creation or restoration. For Category 3 wetlands, the ratios are 1.5:1 for restoration or creation only; or 1:1 restoration or creation plus 1:1 enhancement (RMC 4-3-050(M)(11, 12)). 6.3.1.2 Streams Section L of RMC 4-3-050 contains the City's regulations for streams. Under the City's definition, the main stream channel in the study area meets the definition of a Class 3 stream because it does not support salmonids and is assumed to be perennial (RMC 4-3-050(L)(1)(a)). Class 3 streams require a 75-foot buffer (RMC 4-3-050(L)(5)(a)). The small tributary drainage meets the City's definition of a Class 4 stream because it is intermittent and does not support salmonids (RMC 4-3-050(L)(1)(a)). Class 4 streams require a 35-foot buffer (RMC 4-3-050(L)(5)(a)). Figure 4 illustrates the City stream buffers that would apply in the study area. The buffer of the Class 4 stream is not shown because it would be contained within the larger Class 3 stream buffer and wetland buffers. The City permits new utility lines and facilities to cross water bodies if several conditions are Met (RMC 4-3-050(L)(8)(b)): (a) Fish and wildlife habitat areas shall be avoided to the maximum extent possible; and (b) The utility is designed consistent with one or more of the following methods: (1) Installation shall be accomplished by boring beneath the scour depth and hyporheic zone of the water body and channel migration zone; or (2) The utilities shall cross at an angle greater than sixty (60) degrees to the centerline of the channel in streams or perpendicular to the channel centerline; or (3) Crossings shall be contained within the footprint of an existing road or utility crossing; and (c) New utility routes shall avoid paralleling the stream or following a down -valley course near the channel; and (d) The utility installation shall not increase or decrease the natural rate of shore migration or channel migration; and page 14 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study (e) Seasonal work windows are determined and made a condition of approval; and (f) Mitigation criteria of subsection L3c(ii) of this Section are met. The City requires applicants to avoid and minimize stream impacts. When impacts to a stream or stream buffer are unavoidable, mitigation is required. The City prefers that mitigation should be performed on -site or in the same drainage subbasin. Preferred types of mitigation include daylighting (returning to open channel) of streams or removal of manmade salmonid migration barriers; removal of impervious surfaces in buffer areas and improved biological function of the buffer; in -stream mitigation as part of an approved watershed basin restoration project; or other mitigation suitable for site and water body conditions that meet all other provisions for a mitigation plan. These and other stream mitigation requirements are included in RMC 4-3- 050(L)(3)(c). 6.3.1.3 Wildlife The City defines critical habitats to include Category 1 wetlands, and habitats associated with the documented presence of non-salmonid species that are proposed or listed by federal or state governments as endangered, threatened, candidate, sensitive, monitor, or priority species (RMC 4-3-050(K)(1). The study area does not contain any critical habitats under this definition. 6.3.1.4 Trees The City's tree retention and land clearing regulations are provided in RMC 4-4-130. Tree removal and land clearing are prohibited within wetlands, streams, and buffers unless the proposed activity is exempt from critical area requirements, or through a variance process (RMC 44-130(D)(2) and (I)). Utility uses can be exempt from tree retention requirements if the tree removal can be justified in writing and is approved by the City (RMC 4-4-130(H)). 6.3.2 King County King County regulates critical areas under King County Code (KCC) Chapter 21A.24. The following discussion of critical area classifications and buffers is subject to verification and approval by the County. 6.3.2.1 Wetlands King County classifies wetlands using the Washington State Wetland Raring System for Western Washington (KCC 21 A.24.318). Using this system, ESA Adolfson rated the wetlands in the study area as Category II (wetland rating form is provided in Appendix Q. The County buffer requirements depend on the wetland category, habitat scores, and location within or outside of an urban growth area. For this site, the Category H wetlands have a habitat score of 22 points and are inside the urban growth area. The buffer width is therefore 125 feet as shown on Figure 4 (KCC 21A.24.325). King County requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland impacts. When permanent impacts to a wetland or wetland buffer are unavoidable, mitigation is required. Mitigation ratios ESA Adolfson page 15 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study are 3:1 for wetland creation; or 1:1 for wetland creation plus 4:1 enhancement. Ratios for wetland rehabilitation and enhancement only are higher (8:1 and 12:1, respectively) (KCC 21 A.24.340). 6.3.2.2 Streams King County regulates streams as "aquatic areas" (KCC 21A.24.355). Using the City's classification, the main stream channel on the site meets the criteria for a Type F stream because it could contain resident fish or fish habitat. The buffer requirement for Type F streams within the urban growth area is 115 feet (KCC 21A.24.358). The small tributary drainage meets the County's criteria for a Type N stream requiring a 65-foot buffer (KCC 21A.24.355, 358). Figure 4 illustrates the County stream buffers that would apply in the study area. The buffer of the Type N stream is not shown because it would be contained within the larger Type F stream buffer and wetland buffers. Construction of a new utility corridor in an aquatic area or buffer is allowed, subject to several conditions that are detailed in KCC 21 A.24.045(D)(34). In general these include: • Applicants must show that there is no alternative location with less adverse impact on the critical area and critical area buffer. • Utility routes that parallel the channel or follow a down -valley route near the channel should be avoided. • The width of the corridor should be minimized, as should the removal of trees greater than 12 inches diameter at breast height (dbh). • An additional, contiguous and undisturbed critical area buffer, equal in area to the disturbed critical area buffer area including any allowed maintenance roads, must be provided to protect the critical area. • To the maximum extent practical, access for maintenance should occur limited access points into the critical area buffer rather than by a parallel maintenance road. • The utility corridor or facility may not adversely impact the overall critical area hydrology or diminish flood storage capacity. • Construction should occur during approved periods for instream work. Open trenching is only allowed.during low flow periods or only within aquatic areas when they are dry. • The County may approve open trenching of Type F aquatic areas only if there is not a feasible alternative and equivalent or greater environmental protection can be achieved. • Construction techniques should be used to minimize disturbance to critical areas. Bored, drilled or other trenchless crossing must be laterally constructed at least four feet below the maximum depth of scour for the base flood. page 16 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Sludy King County requires applicants to avoid and minimize aquatic area impacts. When impacts to a stream or stream buffer are unavoidable, mitigation is required. Mitigation requirements for unavoidable impacts to aquatic areas and their buffers are provided in KCC 21 A.24.380. 6.3.2.3 Wildlife The study area does not contain documented habitat for species covered under the County's wildlife habitat conservation areas standards (KCC 21A.24.382). The site does not contain a mapped wildlife habitat network (King County iMap, 2009). 6.3.2.4 Trees King County's grading code (KCC 16.82) regulates clearing and removal of vegetation, excavation, grading, and earthwork. A permit is required for clearing or grading within wetlands, aquatic areas, and their buffers. Utility developments are exempt from significant tree retention requirements (KCC 16.82.156). 7.0 LIMITATIONS Within the limitations of schedule, budget, scope -of -work, and seasonal constraints, we warrant that this study was conducted in accordance with generally accepted environmental science practices, including the technical guidelines and criteria in effect at the time this study was performed, as outlined in the Methods section.

ESA Adolfson page 19 Jame 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 9.0 GLOSSARY agricultural wetland - Areas where wetland soils and hydrology remain, but hydrophytic vegetation has been removed to allow a crop to be grown. anaerobic - A situation in which molecular oxygen is absent (or effectively so) from the environment. atypical situation - Areas in which one or more wetland parameters (vegetation, soil, and/or hydrology) have been sufficiently altered by recent human activities or natural events to preclude the presence of wetland indicators of the parameter. "Recent" is intended to mean that period of time since legal jurisdiction of an applicable law began. best management practices (BMPs) — The physical, structural, and/or managerial practices that, when used singly or in combination, prevent or reduce pollutant discharges. buffer - A designated area along the edge of a stream or wetland that is regulated to control the negative effects of adjacent development from intruding into the aquatic resource. concretion - A local concentration of chemical compounds such as calcium carbonate or iron oxide in the soil that forms a grain or nodule of varying size, shape, hardness, and color. Concretions of significance in hydric soil are usually iron and/or manganese oxides occurring at or near the soil surface that develop under conditions of prolonged soil saturation. dominant species — Plant species that define the character of a vegetation community. In wetland delineation, this is typically measured using percent areal cover. For each stratum in the plant community (trees, shrubs, and herbs), dominant species are the most abundant plant species that when ranked in descending order of abundance and cumulatively totaled immediately exceed 50 percent cover for the stratum, plus any additional species that individually compose 20 percent or more of the total cover in the stratum. The list of dominant plant species is then combined across strata. (Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987) emergent - A plant that grows rooted in shallow water, the bulk of which emerges from the water and stands vertically. Usually applied to non -woody vegetation. emergent wetland - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), a wetland characterized by erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes, excluding mosses and lichens. enhancement - An improvement in the functions and values of an existing wetland, typically through native plantings. fill material - Any material placed in an area to increase the surface elevation. forested wetland - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), a wetland characterized by woody vegetation that is six meters (20 feet) tall or taller. page 20 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study gleyed - A soil condition resulting from prolonged soil saturation, manifested by the presence of bluish or greenish colors throughout the soil or in mottles (spots or streaks) among other colors. herbaceous - Having the characteristics of an herb; a plant with no persistent woody stem above the ground. hydric soil — A soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. hydrogeomorphic (HGM) classification — A system of classifying wetlands based on their position in the landscape and the movement of water within the wetland. hydrology — The science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water. hydrophyte - Any plant growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. The sum total of hydrophytes in an area is known as "hydrophytic vegetation." in -kind compensation - Compensation for lost wetland habitat with a replacement wetland of the same habitat type. inundation — A condition in which water from any source temporarily or permanently covers a land surface. invasive plant species - Plant species that become established easily in disturbed conditions, reproduce readily, and often establish monocultures. Most invasive plants are non-native species; they were introduced to the Northwest intentionally or unintentionally by humans. Examples of common invasive species in the Pacific Northwest are Scot's broom, Canada thistle, hedge bindweed, English ivy, reed canarygrass, and purple loosestrife. lacustrine - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), lacustrine refers to a freshwater area that has all of the following characteristics: (1) situated in a topographic depression or a dammed river channel; (2) has less than 30% coverage of trees, shrubs, persistent emergent plants, mosses, or lichens; and (3) total area exceeds 20 acres. For areas less than 20 acres, an area is considered lacustrine if it has an active wave -formed or bedrock shoreline or is deeper than 6.6 feet in the deepest part. "Freshwater" means less than 0.5 parts per thousand ocean -derived salts. mitigation — Defined in WAC 197-11-766 as: (1) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; (2) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation, by using appropriate technology, or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; (3) Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; ESA Adolfson page 21 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study (4) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action; (5) Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing or providing substitute resources or environments: and/or (6) Monitoring the impact and taking appropriate corrective measures. mottles - Spots or blotches of different color or shades of color interspersed within the dominant color in a soil layer. This usually results from periodic anaerobic conditions in the soil. 100-year floodplain - The flood with a 100-year recurrence interval; those areas identified as Zones A, A 1-30, AE, AH, AO, A99, V, V 1-30, and VE on most current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Rate Insurance Maps, or areas identified as 100-year floodplain on applicable local Flood Management Program maps. ordinary high-water mark - The line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank; changes in the character of soil or vegetation; topographic shelves; or the presence of a line of litter or debris. out -of -kind compensation - Compensation for lost wetland habitat with a replacement wetland of a different habitat type. palustrine - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), palustrine refers to freshwater areas dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergent plants, mosses, or lichens. They can be non -tidal or tidal. Palustrine also includes wetlands lacking this vegetation but with the following characteristics: (1) area less than 20 acres; (2) no active wave -formed or bedrock shoreline; (3) water depth in the deepest part is less than 6.6 feet at low water. "Freshwater" means having less than 0.5 parts per thousand ocean -derived salts. persistent emergents — Emergent plants that remain standing at least until the beginning of the next growing season. reach - A length of stream channel with uniform characteristics. redoximorphic soil characteristics — Features of the soil such as masses, nodules, or mottles formed through reduction and oxidation of iron and manganese in seasonally saturated soils. restoration - To improve a disturbed or altered wetland by returning wetland parameters that may be missing. rhizosphere - The zone of soil surrounding a plant root in which interactions between the living root and microorganisms occur. riverine - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), riverine refers to freshwater areas that are contained within a channel and are not dominated by trees, shrubs, and page 22 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study persistent emergent plants. Examples include rivers and streams. "Freshwater" means having less than 0.5 parts per thousand ocean -derived salts. saturated soil conditions - A condition in which all easily drained spaces between soil particles in the root zone are temporarily or permanently filled with water. scrub -shrub - In the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), areas dominated by woody vegetation less than 6 meters (20 feet) tall. The species include tree shrubs, young trees, and trees or shrubs that are stunted because of environmental conditions. Section 404 permit - A permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act that allows an activity (filling) within a wetland. A 404 permit usually requires compensation or mitigation for the wetland impacts. soil matrix - The portion of a given soil that has the dominant color. In most cases, the matrix is the portion of the soil having more than 50% of the same color. synonymy - Different scientific names for the same species. waters of the United States - As defined in 33 CFR Part 328, the term "waters of the United States" means: 1. All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; 2. All interstate waters including interstate wetlands; 3. All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters: Which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes; or ii. From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce; or iii. Which are used or could be used for industrial purpose by industries in interstate commerce; 4. All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under the definition; 5. Tributaries of waters identified in paragraphs 1-4; 6. The territorial seas; ESA Adolfson page 23 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study 7. Wetlands adjacent to waters (other than waters that are themselves wetlands) identified in paragraphs 1-6. Waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of CWA (other than cooling ponds as defined in 40 CFR 123.11(m) which also meet the criteria of this definition) are not waters of the United States. 8. Waters of the United States do not include prior converted cropland. Notwithstanding the determination of an area's status as prior converted cropland by any other federal agency, for the purposes of the Clean Water Act, the final authority regarding Clean Water Act jurisdiction remains with the EPA. wetlands - Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas (Federal Register, 1982, 1986). wetland boundary — The point on the ground at which a shift from wetlands to non -wetlands or aquatic habitat occurs. wetland hydrology - Wetland hydrology is considered to be present when there is permanent or periodic inundation or soil saturation at or near the soil surface for more than 12.5% of the growing season (typically two weeks in lowland Pacific Northwest areas). Areas that are inundated or saturated for between 5% and 12.5% of the growing season in most years may or may not be wetlands. Areas inundated or saturated for less than 5% of the growing season are non -wetlands (Ecology, 1997). wetland indicator status (WIS) - Categories assigned to plant species based upon the estimated probabilities (expressed as a frequency of occurrence) of the species occurring in a wetland or a non -wetland. Wetland indicator status categories include the following: • Oblate (OBL): species that almost always occur in wetlands under natural conditions (estimated probability >99%). • Facultative wetland (FACW): species that usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability 67 to 99%), but are occasionally found in non -wetland areas. • Facultative (FAQ: species that are equally likely to occur in wetlands (estimated probability 34 to 66%) or non -wetland areas. • Facultative upland (FACU): species that usually occur in non -wetland areas (estimated probability 67 to 99%), but are occasionally found in wetlands. • Upland (UPL): species that almost always occur, in non -wetland areas under normal conditions (estimated probability >99%). A (+) or (-) following the WIS signifies a greater or lesser likelihood, respectively, of the species being found in wetland conditions. Plant species can also be designated "No indicator" or NI, page 24 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study which includes species for which insufficient information is available to determine status, or which were not evaluated by USFWS in compiling the WIS listings. Plant species that are not listed on the USFWS list of WIS ratings are designated "NU and are presumed to be upland species.

ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study APPENDIX A: METHODS USED TO EVALUATE WETLAND CHARACTERISTICS ESA Adolfson Appendix A June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study Wetland Definition Wetlands are formally defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) (Federal Register 1982), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (Federal Register 1988), the Washington Shoreline Management Act (SMA) of 1971 (Ecology, 1991) and the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) (Ecology, 1992) as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas (Federal Register, 1982, 1986). In addition, the SMA and the GMA definitions add: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non - wetland site, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass - lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990 that were unintentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street, or highway. Wetlands may include those artificially created wetlands intentionally created from non -wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Methods defined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Ecology, 1997) were used to determine the presence and extent of wetlands on the subject property. Washington state and all local governments must use the state delineation manual to implement the Shoreline Management Act and/or the local regulations adopted pursuant to the Growth Management Act. The Washington state manual is consistent with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). The Corps has been working with states, federal agencies, and others to develop supplemental regional criteria to refine the 1987 delineation manual. Two regions fall within the state of Washington: The Arid West (dry lands west of the Continental Divide, from Idaho and eastern Washington south to the U.S. - Mexico border) and the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast. Interim Regional Supplements to the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual have been completed by the Corps for both regions in Washington, and the appropriate supplement is now used, along with the Washington State Delineation Manual, when conducting delineations in those regions. The methodology outlined in the manuals is based upon three essential characteristics of wetlands: (1) hydrophytic vegetation; (2) hydric soils; and (3) wetland hydrology. Field indicators of these three characteristics must all be present in order to determine that an area is a wetland (unless problem areas or atypical situations are encountered). These characteristics are discussed below. . ESA Adolfson Page A-1 June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study Vegetation Plants must be specially adapted for life under saturated or anaerobic conditions to grow in wetlands. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has determined the estimated probability of each plant species' occurrence in wetlands and has accordingly assigned a "wetland indicator status" (WIS) to each species (USFWS, 1988, 1993). Plants are categorized as obligate (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), facultative (FAC), facultative upland (FACU), upland (UPL), not listed (NL), or no indicator status (NI). Definitions for each indicator status are listed in the Glossary. Species with an indicator status of OBL, FACW, or FAC are considered adapted for life in saturated or anaerobic soil conditions. Such species are referred to as "hydrophytic" vegetation. A (+) or (-) sign following the WIS signifies greater or lesser likelihood, respectively, of the species being found in wetland conditions. Areas of relatively homogeneous vegetative composition can be characterized by "dominant" species. The indicator status of the dominant species within each vegetative stratum is used to determine if the plant community may be characterized as hydrophytic. The vegetation of an area is considered to be hydrophytic if more than 50% of the dominant species have an indicator status of OBL, FACW, or FAC. The Regional Supplements provide additional tests for evaluating the presence of hydrophytic vegetation communities including the prevalence index, morphological adaptations, and wetland non -vascular plants. The Supplements also address difficult situations where hydrophytic vegetation indicators are not present but hydric soils and wetland hydrology are observed. Soils Hydric soils are indicative of wetlands. Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the soil profile (Federal Register, 1994). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils, has compiled lists of hydric soils (NRCS, 1995). These lists identify soil series mapped by the NRCS that meet. hydric soil criteria. It is common, however, for a map unit of non -wetland (non-hydric) soil to have inclusions of hydric soil, and vice versa. Therefore, field examination of soil conditions is important to determine if hydric soil conditions exist. The NRCS has developed a guide for identifying field indicators of hydric soils (NRCS, 1998). This list of hydric soil indicators is considered to be dynamic; revisions are anticipated to occur on a regular basis as a result of ongoing studies of hydric soils. In general, anaerobic conditions create certain characteristics in hydric soils, collectively known as "redoximorphic features," that can be observed in the field (Vepraskas, 1999). Redoximorphic features include high organic content, accumulation of sulfidic material (rotten egg odor), greenish- or bluish -gray color (gley formation), spots or blotches of different color interspersed with the dominant or matrix color (mottling), and dark soil colors (low soil chroma) (NRCS, 1998; Vepraskas, 1999). Soil colors are described both by common color name (for example, "dark brown") and by a numerical description of their hue, value, and chroma (for example, 1 OYR 2/2) as identified on a Munsell soil color chart (Munsell Color, 2000). Soil color is determined from a moist soil sample. Page A-2 ESA Adolfson June 2009 East Renton Lift Station - Wetland, Stream and Wildlife Study The Regional Supplements provide methods for difficult situations where hydric soil indicators are not observed, but indicators of hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology are present. Hydrology Water must be present in order for wetlands to exist; however, it need not be present throughout the entire year. Wetland hydrology is considered to be present when there is permanent or periodic inundation or soil saturation at or near the soil surface for more than 12.5% of the growing season (typically two weeks in lowland Pacific Northwest areas). Areas that are inundated or saturated for between 5% and 12.5% of the growing season in most years may or may not be wetlands. Areas inundated or saturated for less than 5% of the growing season are non -wetlands (Ecology, 1997). Indicators of wetland hydrology include observation of ponding or soil saturation, watermarks, drift lines, drainage patterns, sediment deposits, oxidized rhizospheres, water -stained leaves, and local soil survey data. Where positive indicators of wetland hydrology are observed, it is assumed that wetland hydrology occurs for a sufficient period of the growing season to meet the wetland criteria, as described by Ecology (1997). The Regional Supplements provide methods for evaluating situations in wetlands that periodically lack indicators of wetland hydrology but where hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetation are present.

This system was developed by Ecology to differentiate wetlands based on their sensitivity to disturbance, their significance, their rarity, our ability to replace them, and the beneficial functions they provide to society. Wetlands are categorized using the Ecology rating system according to the following criteria: Category I wetlands represent a unique or rare wetland type; or are more sensitive to disturbance; or are relatively undisturbed and contain ecological attributes that are impossible to replace within a human lifetime. Category II wetlands are difficult, though not impossible, to replace, and provide high levels of some functions. Category III wetlands have a moderate level of function. They have been disturbed in some ways, and are often less diverse or more isolated from other natural resources in the landscape than Category II wetlands. Category IV wetlands have the lowest levels of functions and are often heavily disturbed.

SUBJECT: DRAFT PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION Task 3. East Renton Lift Station Renton, Washington As authorized in an Agreement for Professional Services, dated April 24, 2009, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) completed a preliminary geotechnical evaluation for the proposed East Renton Lift Station improvements, as part of the 2009 Wastewater Lift Station Pre -Design Contract that Carollo Engineers (Carollo) has entered into with the City of Renton. Task 3 of three tasks authorized by the Agreement for Professional Services is reported herein, with the remaining two submitted under separate cover and dealing with the Lake Washington Lift Station (Task 2.) and the Lift Station (Task 1.). In general conformance with the scope of work, described for Task 3 of our Agreement for Professional Services with Carollo, this report presents our preliminary geotechnical evaluation related to pre -design efforts for the subject facility. PROJECT DESCRIPTION We understand that the East Renton Lift Station is considered by the City of Renton (City) to be a temporary facility until a new gravity sewer is constricted to the south to tie into an existing sewer system. The City wishes to evaluate the feasibility of constructing the gravity sewer through the existing park area to the south at this time. The proposed project involves performing a route analysis to establish the preferred alignment for the replacement sewer, with subsequent abandonment of the existing lift station. The project location is indicated on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1, attached. Figure 2, Site and Potential Sewer Alignment Plan, shows the lift station location and two possible alternative replacement gravity sewer alignments along with site topography, which was developed by PACE through survey of the immediate site area on behalf of Carollo. 19730 - 64th Avenue W. Suite 200 Lynnwood, WA 98036.5957 Tel: 425.774.0106 Fax: 425.774.2714 www.hwageo.com July 10, 2009 HWA Project No. 2009-05 8-2 1 /Task 3 SITE CONDITIONS The existing sewer lift station is situated on the north side of the right-of-way for SE 136th Street, which presently remains undeveloped in the segment extending from the also undeveloped right-of-way for 1481h Avenue SE to the west and 152°d Avenue to the east. The lift station occupies the southwest corner of an existing storm water management pond site that apparently was constructed in conjunction with a residential neighborhood development to the north and east. The existing SE 136th Street right-of-way contains other underground services such as water and gas lines that run in an east -west direction within the right-of-way south of the lift station. Existing east -west sanitary sewer lines connect with the lift station at the present time and also trend east -west in alignment. At the present time, Carollo have developed two alternative and preliminary alignments (Alternative 1 and Alternative 2) through the park area to the south, as indicated on Figure 2. Both of these alternatives lie outside of what appears to be an S-shaped utility right-of-way or easement extending south through the park from approximately the south end of the 1481h Avenue SE right-of-way to the northern terminus of 148th Place SE. As evident from Figure 2, Alternative 1 alignment would extend west from the existing lift station to an existing Manhole #73 in the 1481h Avenue SE right-of-way. From that manhole, it would then head south inside and roughly parallel with the existing west park boundary to about mid -point, and then swing gradually to the east in an arcuate alignment to tie-in to Manhole #12 of the existing sewer system at the north end of 1481h Place SE. About 140 feet south of the existing manhole, in the 148th Avenue SE right-of-way, a small creek and wetland is crossed by Alternative 1, which also crosses the alignment of an existing gas line near its mid -point, roughly 200 feet further south. The gas line alignment also swings to the east and roughly follows the S-shaped easement previously described. The Alternative 1 alignment crosses the gas line again near the end of 1481h Place SE, and also crosses a storm drain that the small creek discharges into at this location. The proposed alignment of Alternative 2 extends south and east on a sweeping arcuate configuration from existing Manhole #72A, which -can be linked by a relay sewer with Manhole #73, and follows higher ground to the east of the existing small creek. This curved alignment section is roughly 500 to 600 feet in length and the southern end will enter a new 60-inch manhole. From the new manhole, the line will continue to curve to the west to terminate in existing Manhole #12. However, it will cross an existing mapped wetland near the point where the creek flows into the storm drain, and mitigation will be required. It is anticipated that stream mitigation will also be required for both alternatives at their southerly terminus, and for Alternative 1 at its initial crossing of the creek. From the topographic mapping provided by Carollo (see Figure 2), it is apparent that the ground elevation at the existing lift station is approximately 396 feet, which is approximately the same Draft Letter Report Task 3.doc 2 HWA GeoSciences Inc. July 10, 2009 HWA Project No. 2009-058-21/Task 3 as the ground elevation at the rim of the existing Manhole #73 in the 1481h Avenue SE right-of- way. From this manhole, the alignment of Alternative 1 follows ground that slopes gently to the south and west and descends to about elevation 376 feet at Manhole #12. From Manhole#72A, Alternative 2 alignment follows the approximate 392 to 394-foot ground contours for the first few hundred feet and then descends in a southerly direction toward the wetlands and Manhole #12. The cross -slope toward the creek to the southwest is more pronounced in this area, but is not steep and appears to be of the order of 6 to 8 percent. Although HWA's reconnaissance of the general area and approximate alignments of Alternatives 1 and 2 was brief and limited, we did not see any immediately apparent evidence of geotechnical issues at this time. Though the park area through which both alternatives run is heavily treed and vegetated with ground cover, some soil exposures were noted and suggested the presence of glacial till soils beneath a covering of topsoil and forest duff. Except for locations immediately adjoining and within the creek channel, there were no significant indications that surficial runoff and erosion instability are presently a problem on this gently sloping forested ground. The dominant surficial conditions apart from the forest cover are the wetlands features, which have been mapped by others, and whose limits are indicated on Figure 2. GEOLOGY According to the Geologic Map of King County, Washington, by Derek P. Booth, and Aaron P. Wisher (Booth et al, 2006), a portion of which is reproduced on Figure 3, the site is underlain by glacial till soils (Qvt on the map) deposited sub -glacially from the Vashon ice sheet. We expect that this deposit is a heterogeneous mixture of silt, sand and gravel, with cobbles and boulders. The glacial till has been over -ridden by glacial ice and is very dense and concrete -like as consequence, in its un-weathered state. When exposed at surface, however, the upper 3 to 5 feet is commonly weathered. As indicated previously, it is evident that a surficial topsoil and organic duff layer appears to overly the glacial till, and it is anticipated that the wetlands features will contain variable thicknesses of organic peaty soils near -surface. However, the wetlands are small and it generally not expected that near -surface organic deposits that may be associated with them would be very deep (less than a few feet). REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA For the purposes of this assessment, HWA also reviewed subsurface data derived from a previously conducted geotechnical investigation within the local area, as referenced below: Final Geotechnical Report, Renton-Stonegate II Sewer System Improvements Project, Renton, Washington, consultant report prepared for Roth Hill Engineering Partners LLC (HWA GeoSciences Inc., 2008). A number of subsurface explorations were recently conducted by HWA in the general area about two miles north of the site (north of NE Sunset Boulevard, between Duvall Avenue NE and 148th Draft Letter Report Task 3.doc 3 HWA GeoSciences Inc. July 10, 2009 HWA Project No. 2009-05 8-2 1 /Task 3 Avenue SE) for other proposed sewer improvements by the City of Renton. The logs of the subsurface explorations considered pertinent to this assessment were reviewed, but since they are somewhat distant from the site are not included herein. Nevertheless, they do provide some indication of soil conditions within the mapped geologic units identified on Figure 3, and probable ground water conditions that may exist on and in close proximity to the sewer alignments. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Review of the exploration data, presented in the report referenced above, indicates that in general the area of the existing lift station and the two sewer alignment alternatives is most likely underlain by Vashon glacial till deposits. The previous explorations north of the project site generally revealed fine gravelly, silty, fine to medium sand, which was in a dense to very dense condition below the upper few feet of weathered zone. Of the explorations closest to the project site, ground water was generally not encountered in these explorations, which extended to depths of up to 14 feet, during the drilling operations. However, one of the shallower borings was equipped with a piezometer that later revealed water at a level of about 5 feet below ground surface. Since glacial till is generally of very low permeability and can serve as a perching layer, ground water may be encountered at or near its surface contact with overlying more pervious cover soils. In this regard, it is anticipated that the likelihood of ground water presence and potential seepage into open excavations will increase as wetlands areas are approached. Certainly, where wetlands are crossed by either of the alternative alignments, ground water presence and seepage is to be expected. Additionally, where the alignments cross over or under any existing services, it is possible that seepage may be encountered at or near the crossings due to the possibility of water having become trapped and/or concentrated in more pervious pipe bedding and backfill materials. In general, however, we do not expect problems with ground water presence and seepage into trench excavations in the uplands areas associated with both options. However, some ground water management may be required if seepage water is encountered in open trench excavations. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In view of existing topographic and anticipated subsurface conditions at and to the south of the East Renton Lift Station site, it is our opinion that the existing station may be replaced with a new gravity line extending south through the existing park area to tie into an existing sewer system at the north end of 1481h Place SE. Either Alternative 1 or Alternative 2, as indicated on Figure 2, is considered suitable for construction from a geotechnical perspective. However, we favor the westerly alignment of Alternative 1 over that of Alternative 2, as it would eliminate a wetland crossing and the need for mitigation. Though it does entail a creek crossing, this should be relatively straight forward In general, proximity to wetlands is anticipated to pose a higher risk of encountering ground water and seepage into open trench excavations. This is likely to be of greater concern for the Draft Letter Report Task 3.doc 4 HWA GeoSciences Inc. July 10, 2009 HWA Project No. 2009-058-21/Task 3 Alternative 2 alignment, which crosses the southern most of the wetlands mapped in the area. However, overall, it is expected that ground water conditions will not be problematic for the area. Both alternatives cross one or more existing services on there routes to Manhole #12, and their presence could cause some construction problems, particularly if the services are above the invert levels of the new ewer line. Such utilities may have been bedded and/or backfilled with granular soils which may have trapped or concentrated seepage water since their installation. Such water could seep into an open trench crossing of the utility and also could contribute to the running of saturated backfill into the trench, requiring ground water to be pumped from the trench and possibly some backfill replacement. Pipeline profiles are presently unknown for both alternatives, but it is anticipated that trench depths greater than 4 feet will generally be associated with construction along either alignment. In general, we anticipate that the trench walls will consist of dense to very dense glacial till below the upper few feet from existing ground surface, where topsoil and organic forest duff are expected to comprise the near -surface soils. In or near wetlands, some wet organic soils may also be expected near surface. These surficial materials should be sloped back as required to maintain trench wall stability, particularly where ground water seepage is encountered. We recommend that trench slopes in such materials be no steeper than 1.5 H:1 V in such materials. Where dense to very dense glacial till comprise the predominant material in which the trench is excavated, the walls should be no steeper than % H:1 V, or flatter if seepage water is present. Because of the degree of ground disturbance associated with sloped back excavation walls, we recommend that shoring or trench boxes be employed if it is necessary or desirable to limit the trench widths and amount of soil/vegetation disturbance, while maintaining safe conditions for workers. This will be particularly important if seepage water is encountered in any portions of the open trench. Suitable dewatering methods will need to be employed to maintain trench and localized slope stability. At this time, we anticipate that ground water conditions will not be a major consideration, but this needs to be confirmed by -an appropriate level of subsurface investigation in advance of detailed design of any portion of this project. Typically, pipes should be bedded and trenches backfilled with the appropriate materials meeting the requirements stated in the 2008 WSDOT Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction. However, if suitable moisture conditions in the glacial till (assumed trench excavation material) are confirmed by later investigation of either of the alignment alternatives, and dry weather construction conditions can be ensured, it may be possible to use these materials as trench backfill. Beneath roadway areas, areas to be paved or areas where settlement is a concern, backfill placed above the pipe zone and to within 2 feet of the ground surface should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (MDD), and backfill placed within 2 feet of the ground surface should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the Modified Proctor MDD. In general, we believe it desirable to adopt this level of compaction as a minimum standard for all sections of pipe in close proximity to (say 25 feet or less), or within the crossing of, any wetlands area on this project. Compaction of trench Draft Letter Report Task 3.doc 5 HWA GeoSciences Inc. July 10, 2009 HWA Project No. 2009-058-21/Task 3 backfill to this higher density level will reduce the amount of ground water infiltration into the backfill and the potential for its migration along the trench. We recommend that a suitable level of subsurface investigation be performed for this project prior to completion of detailed design, once it is determined what improvements will be performed and their most probable site configurations. CLOSURE We have prepared this assessment for Carollo Engineers and the City of Renton for use in preliminary design of this project. The conclusions and interpretations presented in this report are based upon review of pre-existing field data and should not be construed as our warranty of existing subsurface conditions. No subsurface investigation was conducted as part of this assessment. Experience has shown that soil and ground water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent conditions can occur between exploration locations and may not be detected by a geotechnical study of this nature. If, during future site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those described herein, HWA should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and revision of such if necessary. Sufficient geotechnical monitoring, testing, and consultation should be provided during detailed design and subsequent construction to confirm that the actual conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should conditions revealed during construction differ from those anticipated, and to verify that geotechnical aspects of construction comply with the contract plans and specifications. Our work scope did not include environmental assessments or evaluations regarding the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous substances in the soil, surface water, or ground water at this site, except to the extent that is discussed in this report in respect to preliminary geotechnical considerations for this project. Your review and commentary on this draft letter report is requested, at your earliest convenience, so that we may finalize the letter report and conclude our input to this preliminary phase of the design work.

The study area for this project is a north -south corridor approximately 300 feet wide located in the central, undeveloped portion of the park. The corridor connects an existing City of Renton pump station located just north of the park to an existing sewer line within 148th Place SE south of the park. ESA Adolfson identified seven palustrine forested wetlands (designated Wetlands A through G) and two streams within the study area boundaries (see Figures la and lb). These critical areas are discussed in detail in the East Renton Lift Station fVetland, Stream, and Wilc life Study (ESA Adolfson, 2009). Maplewood Park is anticipated to be transferred in ownership from King County to the City at some time in the future. The City has requested assistance in evaluating the permitting requirements and mitigation costs associated with disturbance of critical areas on the site (streams, wetlands, buffers, trees). The City would also like to know how the permit requirements for the sewer line may differ depending on whether the park is within unincorporated King County or annexed to the City of Renton. This memo addresses streams, wetlands, and wildlife habitat only. It does not address other types of critical areas that may be present on the site (floodplains, geologic hazards, etc.). All of the tables and figures referenced below are attached at the end of this memo. Project Impacts This memo uses the two alternative sewer line routes developed by Carollo in July 2009 as the basis for the impacts and permitting discussion (these routes are shown on Figures la and lb). Alternative 1 is located on the west side of the stream and Alternative 2 on the east side. The total length of proposed pipeline within the park property is approximately 790 linear feet for Alternative 1 and approximately 950 linear feet for Alternative 2. East Renton Lift Station - Permitting Requirements December 7, 2009 Page 2 The areas of impact to streams, wetlands, and buffers were estimated from the alternative route maps provided by Carollo Engineers (dated July 24, 2009). The area of construction disturbance for the pipeline is assumed to be a 20-foot-wide corridor based on discussion with the City. Alternative 1, on the west side of the stream, would require one stream crossing and would avoid wetlands. Alternative 2, on the east side of the stream, would cross one wetland and avoid the stream. Both alternatives would cross stream/wetland buffers. The area of buffer impact would be substantially greater under County ownership because of the wider buffers specified in the King County critical areas ordinance (Table 1). Table 2 lists the estimated impact area quantities for each route alternative and for each jurisdiction. The impact areas discussed are for a new pipeline only; the City does not anticipate the need for a new access road to the new pipeline. Permitting Requirements Table 1 lists and compares the City and County permitting requirements related to streams, wetlands, and vegetation specific to the study area. The study area does not contain the types of wildlife habitats that are regulated by either jurisdiction. Please note that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington State Department of Ecology, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife also regulate alteration of streams or wetlands. The state and federal requirements are described in Section 6 of the East Renton Lift Station Wetland, Stream, and Wildlife Study (ESA Adolfson, 2009). These other requirements remain similar under either Renton or King County ownership of the site. King County has recently changed its approach to permitting for utilities. The type of permit required depends on whether the project meets conditions for new utility corridors within critical areas listed in King County Code (KCC) 21A.24.045(D)(34)(b). This portion of the code is provided for reference in Attachment A. If all of the conditions are met to the maximum extent practical, then the County will process the application through a Clearing and Grading Permit. If these conditions are not met to the maximum extent practical, then a Critical Areas Linear Alteration Exception process would be required (KCC 21 A.24.070(A)( 1)). For purposes of this memo, we have assumed that the County process would be a Clearing and Grading permit. This is different than the City permit process, which would require obtaining variances for reduction of standard buffers and other impacts (see Table 1). Permitting Costs Table 3 compares the estimated permit application fees for the City of Renton and King County. These costs include only those local permits related to critical areas. State and federal permit acquisition costs are not included, as they may be required and would likely be similar regardless of the local jurisdiction. The exact costs for permit application and review are difficult to determine at this stage of the project. Some differences between City and County fees are apparent. For example, the City does not charge a fee for pre - application meetings; while King County charges an hourly rate for staff time. Preparing a critical areas mitigation plan will likely also be more expensive for the County because of the County's greater mitigation ratios and wider buffers (resulting in a larger area of mitigation required). East Renton Lift Station - Permitting Requirements December 7, 2009 Page 3 The total costs for City and County staff to process the permit applications are unknown because they depend on the details of the project, the amount of agency staff time required for review, the number of application revisions and rounds of review, and third -party consultant review fees. Mitigation Construction Costs Table 4 presents the approximate costs of constructing and installing mitigation for critical areas impacts. These costs are preliminary and have been developed for planning purposes only. Even though the pipeline would be buried, backfilled, and the construction area revegetated following construction, the regulatory agencies will likely consider the construction area to be permanently impacted at some level. Typically, trees cannot be planted over pipelines, and so the character of the pipeline corridor would change from the current forested condition to a shrub/herbaceous community. This change in vegetation constitutes a change in the functions of the affected areas that would be considered a permanent impact. The following assumptions were used to develop the mitigation cost estimates shown in Table 4: • Impacts to critical areas would be as listed in Table 2. The mitigation ratios in Table 1 would be applied where appropriate. • All mitigation would occur on -site. • We have assumed the pipeline would be trenched through Wetland A (Alternative 2). • We have assumed that the stream crossing will be open -cut. • Costs for earthwork are not included in the estimates. • We have assumed zero (0%) inflation for costs in 2010, due to the current economy. • Additional specific assumptions used to develop costs for each type of mitigation or restoration are presented in Table 4. As shown in Table 4, mitigation construction costs would generally be higher under King County ownership. This is a result of larger stream and wetland buffers, resulting in greater areas of buffer impact; higher mitigation ratios for wetland impacts; and the requirement to provide additional mitigation for buffer impacts. Cost Summary and Comparison Tables 5a and 5b summarize the range of total critical areas permitting and mitigation costs for each jurisdiction and alternative. Overall, Alternative 2 is likely to be more expensive to permit and mitigate because it includes wetland impacts and mitigation. Costs are likely to be higher for both alternatives under King County ownership. As stated earlier, this memo presents only estimated costs. Cost estimates can be refined as more detailed information about the project is obtained. For example, once the City selects a route alternative, the construction footprint can be refined and surveyed, and the areas of critical area impact can be precisely determined (e.g., using AutoCAD to overlay the construction footprint over the critical area boundaries). As discussed above, King County would require significantly more mitigation for wetland impacts than the City, and so the determination of park ownership is also needed to determine the area of mitigation required. Once 3 East Renton Lift Station - Permitting Requirements December 7, 2009 Page 4 these decisions are made, a biologist would need to evaluate the potential wetland mitigation areas shown on Figures la and lb in more detail in order to prepare mitigation designs and planting plans. These designs and plans would specify the amount of earthwork needed to create new wetland area, soil amendment quantities, plant species and quantities, etc. Limitations Within the limitations of schedule, budget, and scope -of -work, we warrant that this study was conducted in accordance with generally accepted environmental science practices, including the technical guidelines and criteria in effect at the time this study was performed. The results and conclusions of this report represent the authors' best professional judgment, based upon information provided by the project proponent in addition to that obtained during the course of this study. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information to the City.

This project included wetland creation and wedand/buffer enhancement elements. Costs included grading, erosion control measures, plants, seeding, mulch, compost, and wildlife structures (logs and snags). • The high end unit cost is based on actual mitigation costs for a City of Everett mitigation project in 2008. The high end cost estimate assumes more grading and earthwork and a larger requirement for soil amendment. • King County indicated that compensatory mitigation may be required for permanent changes to vegetation communities in buffer areas (forested to shrub). They suggested using the vegetation conversion table in KCC 21A.24.340 as a way to estimate potential ratio requirements. • Mitigation ratio of 1.5:1 represents the lower range of ratios in the KCC vegetation conversion table. • Actual mitigation ratio for buffer impacts would be determined during permit review. • Per unit cost assumes main effort is to remove invasive vegetation, reseed and install native shrubs. • Costs are presented as ranges due to variability depending on type and extent of mitigation. • Construction monitoring costs assumes biologist will be on -site for up to 40 hours during pipeline installation. • Cost assumes three years of post -construction monitoring; King County may require up to five years depending on the project. • Costs for post -construction monitoring assumed to be greater for Alternative 2 due to requirement for compensatory wetland mitigation. • Post -construction monitoring costs under King County ownership are assumed to be 1.5 times higher than those under Renton ownership due to larger County mitigation area requirements. 10 East Renton Lift Station - Permitting Requirements December 7, 2009 Page 11 Table 5a.
