-b9gr P ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
ED sErott'
Purpose of Checklist:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43,21C RCW, requires all
governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making
decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for allproposals
with probable significant adverse Impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose
of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify Impacts
from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done)
and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for Applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your
proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the
environmental Impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.
Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best
description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your
knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own
observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know
the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does
not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline. and
landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the
governmental agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do
them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional
information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The
agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide
additional information reasonably related to determining If there may be significant
adverse impacts.
Use of Checklist for Nonproject Proposals: (Please Type or Print Legibly)
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be
answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR
NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs),

Bellevue, Washington 98004
ATTENTION: Mr. Colin Quinn
RE: DRAFT PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING STUDY
CAN-AM PROPERTY
RENTON, WASHINGTON
Dear Mr. Quinn:
We are pleased to present our preliminary geotechnical engineering study
of the proposed Can-Am property in King County, Washington. The site is
located as shown on the attached Vicinity Map, Figure 1. We have
proceeded based on the August 19, 1987 verbal authorization from
Mr. Darrell Fisher. Our scope of services for this project was outlined
in our letter dated August 25, 1987.
The purpose of our study was to explore and evaluate the subsurface soil
and groundwater conditions at the Can-Am property. The results of our
exploration are used as a basis for formulating preliminary geotechnical
recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed
development.
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It is our understanding the proposed development will generally consist
of a series of two or three story, wood frame, residential apartment
buildings and the accessory paved driveways and parking areas. Although
the project is in a very early stage of planning, we understand that a
significant amount of material will be exported from the site and that
rockeries will be used throughout the development. We expect the
building foundation loads will be relatively light and that no below-
grade structures will be included.

OFFICES IN CANADA•UNITED STATES a UNITED KINGDOM•AUSTRALIA
September 11, 1987 2 873-1268
2. SITE DESCRIPTION
The site covers approximately 13.4 acres and is generally triangular in
shape. The property is bounded on the northwest by an apartment complex
and N.E. 4th Street, on the east and northeast by a church and the Puget
Sound Power & Light Company right-of-way and on the south by N.E. 3rd
Street. Access to the property can be made from Bronson Way N.E. and
N.E. 4th Street.
The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 5 horizontal
to 1 vertical (5H:1V) from a topographic high in the southeast corner.
In the northeast corner of the site the slopes dip steeply to the east
and north down to an existing building and parking area. Although these
slopes are vegetated, it appears that material was previously excavated
from this corner of the site to form the existing slopes. In addi.tion,
several small pits were observed along the eastern border to the
property. The pits are about three to six feet deep and 20 to 30 feet
in diameter. The south property boundary slopes steeply (1H:1V) to
N.E. 3rd Street.
An abandoned road exists on the property and generally runs east-west
and bisects the site. The western half of the road is asphalt paved and
covered in blackberry bushes and a few young alder trees, while the
eastern half is an unpaved road grade and covered with a variety of
bushes and grasses.
The site is heavily wooded with fir, maple, hemlock, and cottonwood
trees with ground cover consisting of a variety of bushes, including
blackberry bushes. The property appears to be well drained with no wet
areas observed during our site visit on August 24, 1987.
3. FIELD EXPLORATION
The subsurface conditions were explored as part of this preliminary
study on August 31, 1987 by excavating a series of ten test pits. The
test pits had a maximum depth of 19.0 feet. The approximate locations
of the test pits completed for this study are presented on the Site
Plan, Figure 2. Logs of all the test pits are presented in the Appendix
to this report.
The test pits were located in the field by pacing from existing site
features. The locations should only be considered approximate. Test
pit elevations were interpolated from the boundary and topographic
survey for the Can-Am property, entitled "Preliminary Site Plan ",
prepared by Centron Development Corporation, August 4, 1987.
The test pits were excavated under the observation of a staff engineer
from our firm. Our engineer examined and retrieved disturbed but
representative bulk samples of the soils encountered in the test pits.
The soils encountered were classified and the pertinent information
! recorded, including soil sample depths, statigraphy, soil engineering
characteristics, and groundwater occurrence.
Golder Associates
September 11, 1987 3 873-1268
All samples were sealed to prevent moisture loss, and returned to our
laboratory for further examination. The stratification lines shown on
the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. The
soil and groundwater conditions are those recorded for the dates
indicated, and may not necessarily represent those of other times or
locations.
4. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Soils
In general the soils encountered in our test pits consisted of the
following:
• Compact, dark brown, silty, fine SAND, little organics (SM)
(TOPSOIL) (Unit 1)
• Very dense, brown, fine to medium SAND and fine GRAVEL (SP)
(FILL-OLD ROAD SUBGRADE) (Unit 2)
• Loose to compact, brown, fine to medium SAND (SP) (Unit 3)
• Dense, brown, sandy GRAVEL (GP) (Unit 4)
• Dense, grey, silty, fine SAND, trace clay, trace gravel (SM)
(Unit 5)
• Dense, grey, silty, fine SAND and CLAY (SC) (Unit 6)
• Very stiff, grey, sandy SILT, trace clay (ML) (Unit 7)
The subsurface conditions encountered in the test pits indicated that
the property is underlain by glacial deposits. The deposits consist of
compact stratified sand and gravel and dense non-stratified silty sand.
In general , the entire site was covered with a topsoil (Unit 1) which
varied from 0 to 0.3 feet. Underlying the topsoil was a sand deposit
(Unit 3) which was encountered in all of the explorations and is
considered to generally exist across the entire site. During excavation
of Testpit TP-2, a considerable amount of caving was observed in the
sand in Unit 3. The thickness of Unit 3 varied between 4 to over 19
feet. Underlying Unit 3 the testpits encountered various mixtures of
sand, sand and clay, gravel and silt (Units 4, 5, 6 and 7) to the
maximum depths explored.
Due to the nature of glacial deposition, the stratigraphy can be highly
variable. It must be noted that it is not possible to ensure that the
sand and gravel deposits are continuous at depth between the test pits
and exposed cuts. Furthermore, although no buried deleterious material
was found in the excavations, there is no insurance that areas adjacent
to and within the site are free of organic pockets or other such debris.
Golder Associates
September 11, 1987 4 873-1268
4.2 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test pits. The depth to
the groundwater table on this site is expected to fluctuate with.
changing seasons and local rainfall . We anticipate zones of seepage may
be encountered during the wetter months of the year from the more
granular native soils.
5. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
Based on the results of our geotechnical engineering study, we believe
the site can generally be developed as planned. The native soils
( encountered in our test pits are generally compact to dense and adequate
to support the proposed structures with shallow conventional isolated or
continuous spread footings. However, isolated areas of loose sand
deposits may be encountered, similar to the materials in-Testpit TP-2.
If loose deposits are encountered in excavations for footings, the
material will have to be replaced or compacted prior to footing
construction.
1
The procedures for overexcavation and replacement are discussed in the
earthworks section of this report. These and other geotechnical related
points are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.
5.2 Foundations
Shallow conventional spread footings may be used throughout the site if
they are founded in the compact to dense, native sand and gravel or very
stiff silt. Conventional foundations may be founded on structural fill
founded on the above mentioned native soils. The structural fill must
be compacted to at least 95 percent of ASTM:D-1557-78.
Foundations on the native soils may be designed for a minimum allowable
bearing pressure of 2000 psf. Higher bearing pressures can be assigned
in some areas of the site once specific building locations are selected,
and if a more detailed subsurface exploration and engineering analysis
( is completed.
5..3 Floors
In general , the site soils are suitable to support conventional slab on
grade floors. The slabs should be underlain by a capillary break
consisting of at least 4 inches of clean free draining sand and gravel
or crushed rock containing lesis than 3 percent fines based on the minus
No. 4 sieve fraction. A vapor barrier consisting of a reinforced heavy
plastic sheeting, should be included beneath the slab and atop the
capillary break.
Golder Associates
September 11, 1987 5 873-1268
Framed floors mayalso be used if a vapor barrier is placed over any
P
areas of bare soil and adequate venting is included in the crawlspace.
•
5.4 Rockeries
If permanent cut or fill slopes, steeper than 2H:1V are desired, they
should ideally be restrained by a reinforced concrete retaining wall .
However, if periodic maintenance can be tolerated, a rockery wall could
be used to protect the cut face of stable, natural slopes.
If a rockery is selected, it should be constructed according to King
County requirements and be limited to less than 8 feet in height.
Rockeries over 8 feet high are not recommended'. Rockeries greater than
the 6 foot height should be constructed under full-time observation of
the Geotechnical Engineer. The bottom course of each rockery should be
founded on at least a medium dense native soil .
It is our understanding that grading of the site will require
substantial cuts of 6 to 30 feet across the site, which will result in
the majority of the loose to compact, brown, fine to medium sand being
removed from the site. Therefore, all rockeries will be located in the
denser more well graded deposits. However, if retaining walls are
located in the loose to compact, brown, fine to medium sand, rockeries
will not be suitable and alternative methods for support will be
required.
It should be noted that rockeries are not designed to act as retaining
structures. The primary functions are to face stable slopes and protect
them from erosion and sloughing. Rockeries are not recommended for
support of fill slopes.
5.5 Earthworks
Site preparation in most areas will consist of stripping all vegetation,
topsoil , and surficial materials from the areas beneath footings, floor
slabs and pavements. We expect all the site soils can be excavated with
conventional earthmoving equipment.
We understand that the preliminary grading plans call for large volumes
of material to be excavated and removed from the eastern portion of the
site. Two sieve analyses were conducted on samples of the material from
that portion of the site. The results are shown on Figure 3 and
indicated that they are uniform to well graded sands. Based on our
expectations, it is expected that at least portions of this material
could be used for structural fill . However, cuts along the eastern
boundary are expected to extend to over 30 feet but our explorations
only extended to a maximum of119 feet. Therefore, the extent and
continuity of the deposits at the base of the proposed cuts are unknown.
Additional exploration with drilling equipment would be required to
determine the suitability of the material for structural fill within the
deep cut areas.

If excavations are at a sufficient depth to expose the dense silty sand
or silt and are allowed to become wet, the subgrades can be easily
disturbed and stirred to mud. This soil is very moisture sensitive
because it contains some silt. We recommend that the silt should not be
used as fill because it is highly moisture sensitive and difficult to
work in even the best conditions. To avoid excessive site disturbance
the contractor should implement protective measures. These measures
should include, but not be limited to, the placement of either a thin
layer of pea gravel , crushed rock, or a lean concrete mud mat over the
prepared and approved subgrade. We recommend using an asphalt treated
base (ATB) to protect all areas which will recieve construction traffic.
Any fill placed beneath building foundations, floors, or pavements
should be placed in maximum 81-inch loose lifts and compacted to at least
95 percent of the ASTM:D-1557-78 laboratory standard. We recommend a
large steel wheeled vibratory, roller be used to compact the fill . If
density tests taken in the fill indicate compaction is not be being
achieved the fill should be scarified, moisture conditioned and
recompacted.
5.6 Drainage Control Measures
We recommend footing drains be included in all the building designs
where portions of the structure are below grade. Footing drains should
consist of a 4-inch diameter, perforated, rigid plastic pipe embedded in
a clean free draining sand and gravel meeting the requirements of the
Section 9-03.12 (4) of the 1984 Washington State Standard Specifications
for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction.
We recommend both short and long term drainage measures be incorporated
into the project design and construction. Surface runoff can be
controlled during construction by careful grading practices. Typically,
these include the construction of shallow upgrade perimeter drainage
ditches or low earthen berms,' and the use of temporary sumps to collect
seepage and prevent water from damaging exposed subgrades. All
collected water should be directed under control to a positive and
permanent discharge system such as the storm sewer.
6. USE OF THIS REPORT
This report has been prepared, exclusively for the use of Centron
Corporation and their consultants for the specific application to this
project. Once the proposed site development plans are finalized, we
should be contacted to review our conclusions and recommendations. The
exploration has been performed in general accordance with locally
accepted geotechnical engineering practice to provide information for
the area explored.

There are possible variations in the subsurface conditions between the
explorations and in the groundwater conditions with time. We recommend
a contingency for unanticipated conditions be included in the
construction schedule and budget. Further, we recommend that we be
retained to perform monitoring and testing during construction to
confirm the conditions indicate by the explorations and/or provide
corrective recommendations adapted to the conditions revealed during the
work.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The proposed project is a 384 unit garden style apartment
complex located between N.E. 3rd Street, N.E. 4th Street, and
Bronson Way in the City of Renton (Figure 1 ) . The project will
contain sixteen separate two-story over basement buildings (ap-
proximately 290,000 square feet of floor space) on 13. 4 acres
(Figure 2) . Entry and exit to the development will be provided
at a driveway onto Bronson Way and a driveway onto N.E. 4th
Street. There will be no direct access into the site from N.E.
3rd Street.
The project will provide 582 off-street parking spaces or an
average of 1.52 stalls per unit.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Access to the project will be via N.E. 4th Street/Bronson
Way N.E. , a two-lane arterial running between Edmonds Avenue N.E.
and N.E. 3rd Street. The roadway slopes downhill towards N.E.
3rd Street, particularly Bronson Way which also has several sharp
turns.
The intersection of Bronson Way N.E. and N.E. 3rd Street is
controlled with a multi-phase traffic signal. At the intersec-
tion N.E. 3rd Street has a left-turn only lane in addition to the
two through lanes in both the eastbound and westbound directions.
Edmonds Avenue N.E. is a two-lane arterial connecting N.E.
4th Street with N.E. 3rd Street to the south and Sunset Boulevard
(SR 900 ) to the north. The intersection of Edmonds Avenue N.E.
1
with N.E. 4th Street is stop sign controlled for Edmonds Avenue,
while the intersections with N.E. 7th Street and N.E. 9th Street
have 4-way stop signs. The intersections with Sunset Blvd. and
with N.E. 3rd Street are signalized. The north approach leg of
Edmonds Avenue at the latter intersection has a separate left
turn lane. However, currently that movement is prohibited and
only right turn movements are allowed onto N.E. 3rd Street. N.E.
3rd Street has an exclusive left turn lane in the easterly
direction at this intersection in addition to two through lanes
in each direction.
Between Edmonds Avenue N.E. and Jefferson Avenue N.E. , N.E.
4th has two lanes with a stop sign controlling access to
Jefferson. To the south Jefferson immediately intersects with
N.E. 4th/N.E. 3rd Street. A signal controls movements at this
intersection.
Manual sample turning movement counts were taken by TP&E for
the intersections of N.E. 3rd Street and Bronson Way N.E. , N.E.
3rd Street and Jefferson Avenue N.E. and, N.E. 4th Street and
Edmonds Avenue Northeast. Peak hour counts are shown in Figure 3
and 4. A capacity analysis was performed using the
Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual - Special
Report 209, methods for signalized and unsignalized
intersections.
During the PM peak hour the signalized intersection of N.E.
3rd Street and Bronson Way and the signalized intersection of
N.E. 3rd Street and Jefferson were both found to have a level of
service C. During the AM peak hour these levels of service were
found to be D and C respectively. It should be noted that during
the AM peak the westbound traffic on N.E. 3rd Street is often
backed up from the signal at Sunset Blvd. all the way past the
2
Bronson intersection, in effect making the latter intersection
operate at level of service F.
The unsignalized intersection of Edmonds and N.E. 4th St.
currently operates at level of service A for all legs in both the
AM and PM peak period.
Three Metro transit routes currently run in the vicinity of
the project site. Route 110 and 142 stop on Bronson Way in front
of the project site. Route 110 connects Lake Kathleen with down-
town Seattle via N.E. 4th Street, Bronson Way, downtown Renton
and Sunset Blvd. Route 142 runs from Kennydale via downtown
Renton to the Seattle CBD. Route 111 connects Lake McDonald with
downtown Seattle via N.E. 4th, I-405 and I-90 .
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
When completed, the proposed residential development is ex-
pected to generate approximately 2535 vehicle trips per average
weekday at full occupancy. Of these daily trips 193 are expected
to occur during the AM peak hour and. 231 during the PM peak hour.
During the AM peak period 155 vehicles are expected to exit
while 38 enter. During the PM peak hour 155 vehicles are expect-
ed to enter and 76 to exit the project.
A vehicle trip is defined as "A single or one directional ve-
hicle movement with either the origin or destination (exiting or
entering) inside the study site" . The above trip generation pro-
tections are based on data published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers in Trip Generation - An Informal
Report, Third Edition, 1982. For apartments, this publication
lists average trip generation rates of 6.6 trips per dwelling
unit on an average weekday, 0 .5 trips per unit during the AM
street traffic peak hour, and 0 .6 trips per unit during the PM
street traffic peak hour.
3
The expected AM and PM peak hour vehicle distributions of
the proposed development site generated traffic over the street
network are shown in Figures 5 and 6.
FUTURE CONDITIONS WITH THE PROJECT
The expected project generated vehicle trips for the AM and
PM peak hours (Figures 5 and 6) were added to the existing vehi-
cle movements observed by TP&E. A capacity analysis was then per-
formed for the signalized intersections of N.E. 3rd Street and
Bronson Way and, N.E. .3rd Street and Edmonds Avenue N.E. , as well
as the unsignalized intersection of N.E. 4th Street and Edmonds
Avenue Northeast. Table 1 shows the results of the analysis. As

can be seen in the table, additional traffic from the proposed
project is not expected to change any of the levels of service in
the vicinity of the project.
4
Two road improvement projects located in the vicinity of the
project are currently listed in the City of Renton 1987 - 1992
Six Year Transportation Improvement Program. The first one is
for Edmonds Avenue N.E. from N.E. 4th Street to Sunset Blvd.
Northeast. This project includes widening, curb, gutter and side-
walk, street lighting, storm drainage, channelization, signaliza-
tion, water and sewer. It is slated for design and construction
from 1990 to 1992. The other project is the extension of Edmonds
Avenue from N.E. 3rd Street to Maple Valley Highway, a new road
alignment also scheduled for design and construction from 1990 to
1992.
It should be noted that an Environmental Impact Statement
will be prepared for the development of the McMahon property lo-
cated south of N.E. 3rd Street directly to the south of this pro-
ject. This EIS will include a subarea traffic study that will
include impacts of this project as well as others that are ap-
proved and/or under construction.
CONCLUSION
it
The proposed residential development on the Pat Easter prop-
erty is not expected to cause a significant change in the overall
traffic operating conditions around the project. All intersec-
tions except the N.E. 3rd/Bronson intersection are expected to op-
erate at LOS C or better. The latter intersection experiences
some problems during the AM peak hour mainly due to the backup
created by the intersection of N.E. 3rd and Sunset Blvd. This
backup often makes turning right onto N.E. 3rd from Bronson Way
very difficult even during the green signal phase.
