Final Environmental Impact Statement
Dear Recipient/Party of Interest:
The Black River Final Environmental Impact Statement included a section on cumulative impacts, reflecting
the potential for development of several projects in the vicinity of the Corporate Park. These projects
included the projected expansion of the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for this project was released just prior to the Black River FEIS. The Final EIS included
erroneous information which necessitates a revision. This letter documents that revision. Attached, please
find an errata sheet for this item.

Please substitute the following paragraph for Paragraph 3, page 3-62 in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII.
Offensive odors could occasionally be generated from the treatment facility and
extend beyond the boundaries of the site, even with Metro's proposed odor control
' plan. These odors most likely would come from mechanical failures, emergencies or
system upsets, or, infrequently, unusual circumstances during day-to-day
operations. These odors have the greatest potential for crossing Tracts A and B
when the prevailing winds are from the south and southwest.

SUBJECT: Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII
Final Environmental Impact Statement
Dear Recipient/Party of Interest:
The Black River Final Environmental Impact Statement included a section on cumulative impacts, reflecting
the potential for development of several projects in the vicinity of the Corporate Park. These projects
included the projected expansion of the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for this project was released just prior to the Black River FEIS. The Final EIS included
erroneous information which necessitates a revision. This letter documents that revision. Attached, please
find an errata sheet for this item.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 235-2550.

ERRATA SHEET
Please substitute the following paragraph for Paragraph 3, page 3-62 in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII.
Offensive odors could occasionally be generated from the treatment facility and
extend beyond the boundaries of the site, even with Metro's proposed odor control
plan. These odors most likely would come from mechanical failures, emergencies or
system upsets, or, infrequently, unusual circumstances during day-to-day
operations. These odors have the greatest potential for crossing Tracts A and B
when the prevailing winds are from the south and southwest.

SUBJECT: Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII
Final Environmental Impact Statement
Dear Recipient/Party of Interest:
The Black River Final Environmental Impact Statement included a section on cumulative impacts, reflecting
the potential for development of several projects in the vicinity of the Corporate Park. These projects
included the projected expansion of the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for this project was released just prior to the Black River FEIS. The Final EIS included
erroneous information which necessitates a revision. This letter documents that revision. Attached, please
find an errata sheet for this item.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 235-2550.

ERRATA SHEET
Please substitute the following paragraph for Paragraph 3, page 3-62 in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII.
Offensive odors could occasionally be generated from the treatment facility and
extend beyond the boundaries of the site, even with Metro's proposed odor control
plan. These odors most likely would come from mechanical failures, emergencies or
system upsets, or, infrequently, unusual circumstances during day-to-day
operations. These odors have the greatest potential for crossing Tracts A and B
when the prevailing winds are from the south and southwest.

To all Interested Parties:
Since the issuance of the Black River Corporate Park Phase VII and VIII Final EIS (March 27, 1991) and the
environmental mitigation document (May 27, 1991), a number of conditions on the site have changed. In
response to these changes, an addendum to the FEIS has been issued and the mitigation document is
hereby withdrawn and a new document substituted.
As referenced in WAC 197-11-600 Find 625, the addendum, prepared prior to the City making a decision on
the proposal, adds analyses or information about the proposal but does not substantially change the
analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the existing environmental document.
The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City of Renton, the applicant, Sierra Club, Seattle
Audubon Society, Rainier Audubon Society, Citizens for Renton Wildlands Preservation and the Sierra Club
Cascade Chapter, Sammamish Group, functions as an addendum to the FEIS and as a Mitigation
Document for impacts from the proposal.
Copies of the document are available at the public information counter (SEPA Information Center) in the
Development Services Division, Third Floor, Renton Municipal Building located at 200 Mill Avenue South,
Renton, Washington 98055. Reading copies are available in the Renton Municipal Library at the above
address.
A public hearing covering environmental impacts of the project and mitigation for those impacts will be

Dear Mr. Erickson:
Enclosed is the latest heron report from Jones & Stokes, Inc. As I mentioned in the previous
correspondence with you, I requested Jones & Stokes to stop monitoring efforts as of July 18, 1991. This
report incorrectly states that monthly monitoring will continue from August to December of 1991. This is
' contrary to my earlier instruction to Jones & Stokes. I will reconfirm with them the ending of the
monitoring.
You are in receipt of the billings for these efforts. Please call me at 235-2719 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Status of Black River Great Blue Heron Colony as of July 9, 1991
This memorandum presents.the results of the contimied monitoring to assess the 1991
nesting status.of.the-.Black-River fieron:colony. The-Juiy_9;1991:survey was conducted as
part of an ongoing monitoringeffortiitiated.subsequent:to-mimerous bald eagle attacks
on the colony during the early:=stages-of:the 1991..nesting.season_ Similar surveys were
conducted at the colony in May,and June 1991 'Results-of 2111991-surveys are summarized
in Table 1. .
Methodology
A 3-1/2 hour field survey was conducted on July 9,.1991. Survey methods were
similar to those employed during the May and June surveys.and included monitoring the
colony from observation points on Tract A and on the north side of the riparian grove, as
well as surveying the nest structures within the riparian grove on foot while watching for
additional nest structures and evidence of active nesting.
Results
Great blue herons were observed on three occasions during the survey. One heron
was seen flying north over the Boeing office buildings east of the site, one was seen landing
and perching in a snag along the P-1 Pond, and one was observed landing and foraging in
the P-1 Pond. Each of the herons were adults, and none of the herons were observed
simultaneously.

Mary Lynne Meyer
July 18, 1991
Page 2
As observed during the previous surveys, nests in the main colony and in the adjacent
riparian forest were vacant_ No signs of active nesting, such as recent whitewash, egg shell
fragments, or begging calls of young, were detected.
No additional nest structures were observed during the survey; however, it was
' discovered that one of the nest trees identified in Figure 1 of the June 21, 1991 memo was
mapped incorrectly. The nest tree,which is located immediately north of the main colony,
is correctly mapped in Figure 1 of this report.
Conclusions
June and July surveys of the colony and adjacent riparian forest revealed no active
great_blue.:heron_nests or- evidence of nesting activity. Thus, it is likely that 1991 nesting
attempts.in...these-areas have•been abandoned. A small.number of herons are apparently
.continuing to forage-:im.the.P 1-Pond.

Re: Scheduling of Appeal of ERC Mitigation Document/Site Plan Hearing
Dear Mr. Kauffman:
Enclosed please find First City Washington, Inc.'s appeal of the ERC mitigation
document. This letter is to explain why we do not believe it is feasible to be ready for the
hearings tentatively scheduled for mid-July and to get a confirmation that the hearings have
been rescheduled for September or October.
As you are aware, the hearing has been tentatively scheduled several times this spring
and the dates have been moved due to the fact that it took longer to issue both the EIS and
• the ERC mitigation document than projected. This has been a source of great frustration to
my client as well as the City staff, and I am sure to your office as well. Now that the
mitigation document has come out, it is again necessary to move a date which was scheduled
before the delay in issuance of the mitigation document was known or the lengthy and
complex nature of that document were known.
The mitigation document requires numerous extraordinary and detailed plans, not
typically required at this stage, to be prepared in advance of a hearing on the site plan. Some
of these requirements are appealed in the Applicant's appeal for the reasons stated therein.
However, due to the remaining number of complex and uncontemplated plans required at the
site plan review stage, as well as the lengthy and problematic nature of the mitigation
document occasioning this appeal, First City believes that neither it nor the City can be
prepared to hold a hearing on the dates tentatively scheduled for July. Thus, First City has
told staff that it agrees to relinquish those dates. We have been in touch with Lenora
Mr. Fred Kauffman - 2 - June 11, 1991
Blauman to set a more realistic hearing schedule and understand that the first available dates
that meet a realistic time frame are currently in October. We would appreciate confirmation
that the July dates have been released and of the exact dates of the rescheduled hearing at
your earliest convenience.
We regret that this process is taking longer than contemplated and share your
frustration that it has occasioned so many changes in all of our schedules. We look forward to
hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
Amy L. terlitz

Re: Appeal of ERC Mitigation Document for Black River Corporate Park,
Phases VII-VIII
Dear Mr. Kauffman:
This letter is submitted on behalf of First City Washington, Inc. to formally appeal the
SEPA mitigation measures imposed on the Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII and VIII,
dated May 28, 1991.
The name and address of the appellant is:
First City Washington, Inc.
Attn: Mr. Dean Erickson
700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6000
Seattle, WA 98104
Any and all correspondence with the appellant should also be directed to its legal
representative:
Buck and Gordon
Attn: Amy Kosterlitz
Waterfront Place Building, Suite 902
1011 Western Avenue
Seattle, WA 98104
The Appellant is appealing all of the 132 recommended conditions of approval
contained in the mitigation document, for either substance or clarification, and in some
instances, both.
•
Mr. Fred Kauffman - 2 - June 11, 1991
The grounds for the appeal include, but are not limited to the following:
1. The conditions are in excess of the SEPA authority of the City of Renton.
2. The conditions are not necessary to mitigate the specific probable adverse
environmental impacts from the proposed actions identified in the environmental
documents prepared pursuant to SEPA.
3. The mitigation conditions are not reasonable and capable of being accomplished.
4. The conditions are not supported by the City's SEPA policies.
5. The conditions impermissibly impose responsibility for mitigating measures on the
applicant beyond the extent attributable to the identified adverse impacts of its
proposal.
6. The mitigation conditions impose mitigation with regard to impacts that are
merely speculative.
7. The ERC mitigation document contains errors of fact, inconsistencies and errors
of law.
8. The ERC.mitigation document and its conditions are clearly erroneous, arbitrary
and capricious and without basis in fact or law.
First City Washington, Inc. hereby reserves the right to amend, modify and supplement
the grounds upon which this appeal is based and reserves the right to present detailed
information supporting this appeal prior to and/or at the appeal hearing.
Respectfully submitted,

Renton, WA 98055
Re: Additional Detail Regarding Appellant First City Washington's Appeal
Dear Mr. Kauffman:
This letter will serve as First City's response to your letter of June 28, 1991 requesting
that the issues subject to the appeal be set forth with more particularity. As you noted in your
letter, this will not constitute the full statement of First City's arguments, which will be
supplemented through a hearing memorandum and other materials.
First City would like to confirm that your separation of the hearing on the
environmental issues (to be held in October) from the hearing on the site plan (to be held at
some later date) means that no further site plan materials or other plans beyond what has
already been submitted to the City will be required prior to the October hearings. If First City
has misunderstood your intent in this regard, please let me know as soon as possible what
specific additional items will be required for the October hearings.
The particular issues that are a subject of those grounds of appeal stated in our June
11, 1991 letter are as follows:
1) Setback Requirements -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding its project
impacts,' what setback distance may be necessary and appropriate to address these, how this
distance should be measured, and under what circumstances a setback may be required. First
City also wishes to respond to the opposition's request for "increased buffer areas from the
periphery of the heronry."
2) Berm/Buffer -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding whether and under what
circumstances a berm and buffer may be required, what those requirements should be, and how
Mr. Fred Kauffman - 2 - July 10, 1991
these requirements should interface with other project construction. First City will respond to
the opposition's request for increased buffers and landscaping.
3) Landscaping -- First City believes that the numerous and conflicting requirements for
landscaping in the ERC decision should be clarified. Upon clarification, First City wishes to
introduce evidence regarding the need for, appropriateness and feasibility of these requirements-
; -including a response to the opposition's request for increased landscaping.
4) Construction Limitations -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding the need for
and appropriateness of these conditions to address project impacts, the feasibility of compliance,
the type and extent of restrictions on construction activities that may be applied, and the time
periods and circumstances warranting restrictions--including a response to the opposition's
request for increased construction restrictions.
5) Project Phasing -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding the impacts and
feasibility of various phasing scenarios, and what requirements are appropriate under what
circumstances to address project impacts.
6) Monitoring Requirements -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding what
monitoring requirements may be necessary and appropriate to deal with project impacts, under
what circumstances these should apply, how the process should work, what criteria should
apply, and how the results of monitoring can be used.
7) Level of Detail Required at Site Plan Review -- First City wishes to contest the additional
level of detail and type of plans that will be required to be submitted at the site plan hearing
stage. (Assumes no further plans are required for October hearings as set forth above.)
8) Traffic Mitigation -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding the appropriate
amount of the traffic mitigation fee and the appropriateness and feasibility of some of the other
traffic mitigation conditions. First City also wishes to introduce evidence that requirements for
detailed plans regarding mitigation of the potential future cumulative construction traffic
impacts of other projects still in the planning stage is not required and not reasonable or
capable of being accomplished.
9) Water Quality/Stormwater Issues -- First City believes that the requirements regarding water
quality and stormwater detention need to be clarified and wishes to introduce evidence
regarding what requirements are necessary and appropriate, and at what stage, to deal with
water quality and water quantity issues.
10) Light. Glare. Noise Issues -- First City wishes to introduce evidence regarding the necessity
and appropriateness of these requirements to mitigate project impacts, the feasibility of
accomplishing such measures, and the problematic and conflicting nature of these requirements
with other requirements (e.g. conflicts between requirements that certain areas used by
pedestrians not be lighted with public safety requirements), the feasibility of implementing
certain noise control measures, etc.
Mr. Fred Kauffman . - 3. - July 10, 1991
11) Hazardous Waste -- First City wishes to present evidence regarding what is required to
address the contamination that has been identified on a portion of Tract A and how this could
impact the requirement for archaeological study.
12) Architectural Restrictions -- First City wishes to present evidence regarding the necessity
and appropriateness of the height limits and what is required based upon project impacts. First
City wishes to present evidence on the appropriateness of other architectural measures such as
window screens to mitigate project impacts and evidence regarding the permissibility and
feasibility of other requirements related to building design such as the conflicting requirement
that buildings be oriented away from the Metro Treatment Plant.
13) Public Access Requirements, Requirements Regarding Installation of Improvements on
City-Owned Land -- First City wishes to present evidence regarding inconsistencies in providing
public access with the requirement to minimize impacts on wildlife, the necessity and
appropriateness of the conditions to mitigate project impacts, feasibility, public safety and
liability issues associated with these requirements. First City also wishes to address the
problematic nature of installing and maintaining landscaping and gates on City-owned property.
14) Vague and Open-Ended Conditions to Address Potential Future Impacts of Other Projects
-- First City wishes to present evidence and argument to show that such conditions are
impermissible because they are based upon speculative impacts, are unreasonable and incapable
of being accomplished, and based upon impacts not related to this project.
First City reserves the right to introduce evidence on any other issues raised by the city
or the opponents in its appeal, not addressed above.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 8, 1991
TO: Lynn Guttmann, Administrator
FROM: Don Erickson, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Blackriver Corporate Park Opportunities
The following is a draft summary of what I heard from Amy Kostolitz and Dean Erickson after a meeting I
had with them on Rabanco. In short, because of a lot of recent changes during the last few months, e.g.,
degree of contamination found on Tract A, the abandonment of the Heron rookery by the Herons, the
compensation monies from Metro for their Phase III Expansion, etc., First City Development feels that there
may be an opportunity to create a revised scheme that reflects these.,changes and creates a "win/win"
situation for most, if not all, parties.
Assumptions
o That it is in all parties interest to achieve a development plan that provides a high degree of
protection and public awareness of the uniqueness of the riparian natural environment at the site,
while also allowing reasonable economic development.
o The heron will likely not return to the existing main rookery this year and, in fact, are likely to seek
greater refuge by developing future nesting sites deeper into the riparian forest where they are less
exposed.
o The long term viability of the heron rookery would come through its resiting deeper into an
enlarged and more buffered riparian forest further west.
o Contamination on Tract A is real and must be cleaned up before the site could be sold to a private
purchaser. This is because most, if not all, lenders today require that an applicant provide
certification from the proper authorities that a site is clean.
o Any changes in Renton's Shoreline Master Program as it now pertains to Tract C and its Natural
Environment designation west of the heron rookery is likely to be contentious.
Proposal
First City would like to use the time between now and the public hearing on Phase VII and Phase VIII to
explore the possibility of a new development scenario that includes public acquisition of some or all of
Tract A, while allowing more development freedom on Tract B while the herons are absent.
Pros
o Potentially avoids costly delays involved with the clean up of Tract A.
o City ownership is preferred by First City since it reduces their liability for accidents by members of
the public who would use the trail easement on the berm.
.1
I
o Public acquisition of Tract A was preferred by Metro because it is adjacent to their site and takes
away the issue of adverse impacts of their plant expansion on this site.
o Public acquisition of Tract A presumably would provide Metro with an area in which to replace their
existing 'wetland" if that were their choice with future development (Expansion IV).
o Tract A is large enough to provide an interpretive area where the public, including school children, +
could learn about the 50 or more species of wildlife found on the site and possibly about the early
Indian culture that occupied this area centuries ago.
Note: Because most of Tract C is designated as a Natural Environment under the City's Shoreline Master
Program, most of it cannot be used for recreational or interpretive purposes since even trails are prohibited
under this designation.
Cons
o Unless all development rights on Tract A were transferred elsewhere (Tract B and/or a portion of
Tract C near Naches Avenue), there would likely be lower property tax revenues accruing to the
City.
o This change could shift the responsibility for putting in the road and berm buffer, if it is still needed,
I'I
to the future purchaser of Tract A, presumably the City.

SUBJECT: Black River Corporate Park Phases VII, VIII, Tract A,
Final Environmental Impact Statement and Mitigation
Document
Dear Mr. Erickson:
In reading the above documents, I have found some inaccuracies, which I
would like to address at this time.
FEIS
Page 3-2 The statement is made that Ecology has not proposed a
cleanup standard for zinc. This is not true. By using the Method B
cleanup standards for zinc found in WAC 173-340-740 a cleanup standard
of 500 ppm is derived. Tract A of this site contains zinc at 1000 ppm
(parts per million) , which exceeds the zinc cleanup standard.
Page 3-30 Reference is made to using industrial cleanup standards for
this property. Industrial. cleanup standards are not suitable for
application to commercial properties. In this case, the residential
cleanup standards would apply (Method B, or numerical standards Method
A) . The cleanup standard for chromium is 100 ppm. Cleanup standards
are exceeded for chromium, as well as for zinc, cadmium and total
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) . The TCLP test is a test to determine if
metals exceed dangerous waste criteria under Chapter 173-303 WAC, it is
not a health-based standard for risk assessment, or cleanup purposes.
Standards set under Method B Chapter 173-340, the Model Toxics Control
Act (MTCA) , are health-based standards, as are Method A standards, with
the exception of TPH, which is based on groundwater protection.

Page 3-31, Mitigation Measures The proponent offers to "seal" the
contaminated soils with asphalt or buildings. This is not a preferred
cleanup action under WAC 173-340-360. Cleanup actions, in order of
preference, under this regulation are: (i) Reuse or recycling; (ii)
Destruction or detoxification; (iii) Separation or volume reduction
followed by reuse, recycling, destruction or detoxification of the
residual hazardous substance; (iv) Immobilization of hazardous
substances; (v) On-site or off-site disposal at an engineered facility
designed to minimize the future release of a hazardous substance in
accordance with applicable state and federal laws; (vi) Isolation or
containment with attendant engineering controls; and (vii) Institutional
controls and monitoring.
Subsection (C) states, "Since cleanup actions will often involve a
combination of technologies, cleanup action alternatives shall maximize
the use of higher preference technologies. " -
Subsection (d) states, ". . . The adoption of the technology preferences
in this subsection is designed to make it more difficult to select a
cleanup action with a low preference without careful explanation of why
technologies above it have not been used. "
Ecology had a meeting with the proponent on May 15, 1991. When this
solution was presented, Ecology advised the proponent not to place
anything permanent over this area, so as not to preclude any future
remedial actions, should this be found to be necessary. This would rule
out the placement of building structures.
Mitigation Document
The following comments pertain to Tract A, pages 18 and 19:
Industrial cleanup standards are not appropriate for this site,
residential cleanup standards are used for commercial property under
Chapter 173-340 WAC. Using these standards, Tract A exceeds health
based cleanups standards for cadmium, chromium and zinc. The numerical
cleanup standards for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is also
exceeded.
Item #49 The proponent offers to "seal" the contaminated soils with
asphalt or buildings. This is not a preferred cleanup action under WAC
173-340-360. For a list of cleanup actions, in order of preference,
please see the comment to the FEIS, page 3-31, Mitigation Measures.
Ecology had a meeting with the proponent on May 15, 1991. When this
"solution" was presented, Ecology advised the proponent not to place

remedial actions, should this be found to be necessary. This would rule
out the placement of building structures.

Item #5 The applicant proposes to note the location of any
identified contaminated soils exceeding Ecology cleanup standards
previously identified or found during construction on site on the as
built drawings, specifying the levels of pollutants and the origin of
the pollutants. Ecology assumes this means correction of the earlier
assumptions excluding chromium and zinc, or other compounds which may be
found to exceed standards?
How can this mitigation possibly be complied with without having an
approved sampling plan in place prior to construction, stipulating the
frequency of sampling during construction, parameters to be analyzed
for, and reportables to be submitted to the city?
Thank you for the opportunity to respond on the adequacy of these
documents. Should you have questions, I may be contacted at 649-7058.

Final Environmental Impact Statement
Dear Recipient/Party of Interest:
The Black River Final Environmental Impact Statement included a section on cumulative impacts, reflecting
the potential for development of several projects in the vicinity of the Corporate Park. These projects
included the projected expansion of the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for this project was released just prior to the Black River FEIS. The Final EIS included
erroneous information which necessitates a revision. This letter documents that revision. Attached, please
find an errata sheet for this item.

ERRATA SHEET
Please substitute the following paragraph for Paragraph 3, page 3-62 in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Black River Corporate Park, Phases VII/VIII.
Offensive odors could occasionally be generated from the treatment facility and
extend beyond the boundaries of the site, even with Metro's proposed odor control
plan. These odors most likely would come from mechanical failures, emergencies or
system upsets, or, infrequently, unusual circumstances during day-to-day
operations. These odors have the greatest potential for crossing Tracts A and B
when the prevailing winds are from the south and southwest.

SUBJECT: Final EIS for the Black River Corporate Park
Dear Mr. Bush:
We received your letter of April 15, 1991, commenting on the Final EIS for the Black River Corporate Park,
Phases VII and VIII. You had two principal concerns: a) the FEIS section on unavoidable adverse impacts
from odors generated at the enlarged Wastewater Treatment Facility; and b) mitigation measures
suggested for joint implementation. between Metro and the Black River Corporate Park developers.
Your Draft Environmental Impact Statement states that offensive odors could occur as a result of
mechanical failures, system emergencies or an unlikely combination of weather and operating conditions.
We understand that METRO will be incorporating the latest technology and operating methods to avoid
offensive odors which might travel beyond the plant's boundaries. In recognition of that effort, we have
issued an errata sheet for the Black River FEIS. It will correct the paragraph you referenced in your letter.
The following paragraph will be substituted for paragraph 3 on Page 3-62 in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Black River Corporate Park VII and VIII.
Offensive odors could be generated from the treatment facility and extend beyond the boundaries
of the site, even with METRO's proposed odor control plan. These odors most likely would come
from mechanical failures, emergencies, or system upsets, or, infrequently, unusual circumstances
during day to day operations. These odors have the greatest potential for crossing Tracts A and B
when the prevailing winds are from the south and southwest.
We feel this objectively addresses an environmental impact of importance to both the public and the
Hearing Examiner. The correction is consistent with the information in your Draft EIS (March 22, 1991,
MITIGATION p. 5-12, 5-13, 5-14, 5-15). It is also accurately reflects the independent research performed
for the Black River EIS.
The mitigation measures proposed in the Black River EIS were your second concern. As you probably
know, the City of Renton usually prepares a mitigation document for each project under EIS review. This
document follows the EIS and has a twenty day appeal period. This allows time for the applicant,the City,
the public and other interested parties to discuss the mitigation measures prior to the public hearing by the
hearing examiner. If measures would need changing, interested parties may file an appeal of the mitigation
document. The Hearing Examiner would then hear their appeal and make a decision,taking into account
the testimony received. We believe this process provides for the coordination suggested in your letter. We
are certainly available to help facilitate a meeting between Metro, First City Development Corporation, and
the City of Renton if that would aid in the coordination prior to the appeal period.
I hope this addresses your concerns. If you have questions, I am available to discuss these items further
with you. Please do not hesitate to call me at 235-2550.

RE: Final EIS for the Black River Corporate Park
Dear Mr. Erickson:
We recently received a copy of the final EIS for the Black
River Corporate Park and would like to bring a number of
items to your immediate attention. As you know, the final
EIS includes a discussion of Metro's treatment facility,
which is located adjacent to the proposed Black River
corporate park. Unfortunately, some of the information
presented in that discussion is not accurate and some of the
statements are misleading.
One of our principal concerns relates to the section on
"unavoidable adverse impacts" of the expanded Metro
facility. This discussion does not appear to recognize or
take account of proposed mitigation measures. For example,
the discussion on odor impacts found at p. 3-62 states as
follows:
Even with Metro's proposed odor control plan, offensive
odors will be generated from the treatment facility and
extend beyond the boundaries of the site. These odors
will occur as part of day-to-day operations and most
likely from mechanical failures, emergencies, or system
upsets. These odors have the greatest potential for
crossing Tracts A and B when the prevailing winds are
from the south and southwest.
This discussion does not accurately reflect the conclusions
of Metro's consultants or the discussion in Metro's draft
supplemental EIS. Metro's' EIS concludes that odor impacts
associated with construction activities can "be effectively
mitigated by proper timing" of those activities (draft
supplemental EIS, at p. 5-10) and that under all of the
proposed alternatives, odor impacts from daily plant
operation will not be significant at the Metro property

boundary (pp. 5-11 to 5-15) . To suggest that "offensive
odors" will occur as part of "day-to-day" operations" is
simply not true.
We also have concerns regarding some of the mitigation
measures proposed to be implemented jointly by Metro and the
First City Developments Corporation. While Metro is willing
to participate in such joint mitigation, we believe that
there are better ways of coordinating such efforts than
suggesting the mitigation for the first time in a final
environmental impact statement.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call. We
would be happy to meet with you to discuss these matters
further.
Sincerely,

DATE: March 13, 1991
TO: Environmental Review Committee
FROM j6/Donald K. Erickson,AICP, Zoning Administrator
STAFF CONTACT: Mary Lynne Myer, Sr. Environmental Piannej"l
SUBJECT: Issuance of the Black River Corporate Park EIS •
RECOMMENDATION; That the ERC issue the final EIS for the Black River Corporate Park Tract A
and B Office Buildings. •
Attached you will find a summary of the contents of the EIS. Last week you received copies of the
actual Draft and Final EIS's.
SEPA REQUIREMENTS
The State Environmental Policy Act, as detailed in WAC 197-11-440, EIS contents, states that an
EIS shall contain the following: fact sheet, table of contents, summary, alternatives, including the
proposed action, and no action, affected environment, significant impacts and mitigation
measures. The parts of the affected environmental to be discussed can be determined through the
scoping process which shall narrow the scope of every EIS to the probable significant adverse
impacts and reasonable alternatives, including mitigation measures.
As noted In the SEPA rules, the content of the EIS is determined by the Lead Agency (in this case,
the City of Renton) based, In part, on key sections of the SEPA rules, (197-11-402, 408, 430, and
440)together with results of the EIS scoping process.
Through a scoping process, the City of Renton determined that the DEIS should include an
analysis of the Proposed Action and each alternative's impact on Earth, Air, Water, Plants and
Animals, Energy and natural resources, Environmental health, Land and shoreline use,
transportation, public services and utilities.
The FEIS is meant to supplement the Draft. It contains corrections, additions, and clarifications to
subjects not covered in the Draft EIS. It also includes all letters of comment written to the Draft
and responses to all comments of substance, as required by WAC 197-11. Please,note that the
Final EIS (FEIS) should be reviewed in conjunction with the DEIS.
In THE NEXT WEEKS:
The EIS for this project identified a number of possible mitigation measures for impacts that were
considered to be significant or potentially significant, ( as defined by quantitative measures
whenever such measures were found to exist.) Thee measures and others, which the responsible
official.(ERC) may determine are warranted to protect the environment will be the subject of a
mitigation document to be considered by that body within the next few weeks.

EIS CONTENTS
A.THE PROPOSED ACTION
The applicant proposes to develop office buildings and parking on Tracts A and B. On tract A, a
12.07 acre site,three office buildings would be constructed in three phases over a four year period.
Phase one Involves the building of an one story building of 23,582 sq. ft and associated parking
stalls. Phase 2 could construct an 80,000 sq foot 4 story building with associated parking. Phase
3 would construct a second sister building of 80,000 sq.ft.ft and associated parking.
The project,as proposed on Tract A,will include vegetative buffer between the development on the
P-1 channel, a biofiltration swale for stormwater, pedestrian areas adjacent to buildings,
landscaped surface parking, a total of 791 parking stalls. It would adhere to zoning and shoreline
setback requirements and generally conform to the heron guidelines developed as part of the EIS
study.
On Tract B, a 15.7 acre site, three office buildings and a three story parking structure in three
phases would be constructed. Phase 1 involves the building of a four story 71,000 sq. ft. building
and parking; Phase 2 a three story, 58,575 sq ft building and parking and Phase 3, a 7 story
156,625 building with a three story parking structure.
Other features of the proposed design on Tract B include preservation of the 0.1. acre wetland in
the old Black River channel, retention of a majority of the mature cottonwood trees, landscaping
and buffering of development from natural areas, and adherence to shoreline and zoning setback
requirements and restrictions established for the heron colony.
B.ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives for both TRACT A and B were discussed within the EIS. See following chart:
Alternative A2 Is a no action alternative. SEPA guidelines (WAC 197-11-440) require that a No
Action Alternative be evaluated. No action in this case would be leaving the site undeveloped. The
applicant does not feel the impetus to develop this portion of the site at this time. A proposal to
develop under the current zoning could potentially be presented to the City at some later date by
either this owner or another. Until that time, the site would remain undeveloped, trees and shrubs
would likely continue to grow on the site.
Alternative B2 includes one seven story office building, a four story parking structure and surface
parking. This proposal was the original proposal for the site, and through discussions with the city
and intervening economic changes, the proposal was modified. The proposed office building is
expected to provide 285,000 sq. ft. of office space. Parking will consist of 551 surface stalls and
800 stalls within the proposed parking structure. This alternative retains a majority of the
cottonwood trees, landscaping and buffering of development from natural areas, adherence to !II
shoreline and zoning setback requirements. (The site plan for this alternative presented in the Draft
and Final EIS does not reflect the revised heron guidelines and would need revision to meet these
migitation measures). I
No action was also considered for Tract B. Under this alternative,the site would not be developed
and would be available for use consistent with zoning sometime in the future.
I I
The draft EIS presented a description of the proposal and alternatives. It provided an analysis of
the following elements of the environment: earth, air, water, plants and animals, energy and jl
natural resources, environmental health land and shoreline use,transportation, public services and
utilities. It suggested mitigation measures. The FEIS reviewed the proposed action, the project

natural resources, environmental health land and shoreline use, transportation, public services and
utilities. It suggested mitigation measures. The FEIS reviewed the proposed action, the project
alternatives, the environmental impacts and mitigation measures. It supplemented the description
of the affected environment, significant impacts and mitigation measures, resulting from additional
studies conducted between the issuance of the Draft and Final documents. It also included letters
of comment and responses to those comments.
C. PERMITS REQUIRED
Building permit, shoreline substantial development permit, clearing, grading and filling permit,
clean water action section 4040 permit
D. NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. Earth
Grading will be necessary to establish desired elevations for construction and to achieve elevations
above floodplain (15 feet.) A few portions of the site are below that elevation. Vegetation will be
removed and the ground surface compacts,then fill will be placed in horizontal lifts.
Tract A:
The site would be filled with up to 10,000 cubic yards of fill. Elevation changes would be less than
five feet. Since it is a previously filled site,this would not represent a significant impact.
In addition,the site underwent a soil investigation to identify subsurface materials and to collect
soil samples for hazardous material testing. Results of the study showed that priority pollutant
concentrations were relative low with the exception of cadmium.Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
exceeded WDOE's proposed cleanup guidelines. The sampling indicated that the TPH
contamination was localized, probably the result of a construction vehicle leak. The cadmium and
chromium and zinc were shown to be relatively immobile indicating that the contamination would
not leach or spread.
Construction impacts of loading,transporting, and compacting of this fill will be discussed in the
mitigation document.Additional fill will be needed to construct the earthen berms necessary to
meet the heron guidelines. The berms will be discussed in the mitigation document, and under
SEPA their impacts are not required as a discussion item in the EIS.With mitigation measures, no
significant impacts are expected.
Tract B:
This portion of the site would be filled with approximately 35,800 cubic yards of dirt, not considered
a significant impact as the site has already been filled. Construction impacts of the loading,
transporting,and compacting of this fill are addressed in the mitigation document.
2. Overall foundations
Conventional shallow foundations will be used for Tract A, and impacts will be construction related
and of short duration. Activities will include trenching for foundation footings, compact,forming,
and concrete placement. Deep foundations for the larger buildings will require piles, either auger
cast in place or driven steel piles. Soil conditions are judged to be suitable for building
construction.With mitigation measures, no significant adverse impacts are expected.
3.Seismic
I '
As determined in studies both for this EIS and the Metro's Renton Treatment Plant EIS,the
potential for liquefaction at this site is quite low. The buildings will be designed to withstand
ground acceleration based on the 1988 Uniform Building Code. Further calculations should be
made to determine the need for battered piles for all pile-supported structures, and can be done at
the building permit stage. With mitigation measures, no significant adverse impacts are expected.
4.Air quality
The EIS analyzes the CO air quality in the project area and the factors contributing to existing CO
concentrations. And it also discusses parking garage air quality issues since motor vehicle
emissions produced in the parking garages could affect nearby concentrations of carbon
monoxide. Under limited dispersion meteorological conditions, locations within a few hundred feet
of a garage may be exposed to pollutant concentrations greater than those inside any single
garage level.
PSAPCA is the agency responsible for controlling stationary sources of air pollution, and WSDOE
is responsible for monitoring CO levels. While no stations are close enough to the study area to be
considered representative of CO concentrations, given the current density of land use
development, and the existing roadway network, existing violations of the CO standards are
considered unlikely in the immediate vicinity of the project area. Mitigation measures suggested in
the DEIS and FEIS would address concentration and dispersion for the garage, and transportation
mitigation measures are expected to reduce traffic associated with the development.With these
measures in place, no significant adverse impacts are expected However,without mitigation,
significant adverse impacts can be expected.
5.Water
Surface Water Movement/Quantity
The primary impacts of the proposed project would result from the increase in impervious surface
and the resulting change in runoff volume and timing. Tract A is expected to increase run-off 5
fold and Tract B to triple. Both Tract A and B run-off would be biofiltered and discharged to the P-1
Pond which was created to control stormwater from the Springbrook Creek watershed and
tributaries. Due to the large storage capacity of the P-1 pond, no mitigation measures are
anticipated for Tract A other than preparation of a drainage plan, and proper sizing of drainage
facilities. Mitigation could including improvements to the channel at the north end of Tract B or
routing stormwater to avoid potentially sensitive areas.
i66
Water Quality/Runoff 19
Water quality of the P-1 Pond, Springbrook Creek and Naches Avenue drainage swale is generally
low. Often times the water quality does not meet state Class A water quality standards for
dissolved oxygen,fecal coliform and temperature. Because of the poor water quality conditions,
the Green/Duwamish Watershed Nonpoint Action Plan recommended that a comprehensive water
quality plan for improving water quality in the Black River basin be developed and implemented.
The plan is under preparation by consultants for the City of Renton.
Impacts from this specific proposal would include construction and operational impacts.
Introduction of sediment to surface waters from erosion during construction is most likely the
significant water quality impact. After construction,the introduction of contaminants associated
with runoff from parking areas and landscaping would be the most likely impact,without mitigation.
Mitigation measures would include control of construction related water quality impacts for both
Tract in he form of a erosion control plan. Mitigation for operation impacts would be the
installation of maintenance of oil/water separator sand vegetated biofiltration swales. Properly
designed drainage plans are also required by the City.
6.Terrestrial resources
Vegetation
The proposed development on Tract A would result in the permanent conversion of 11.6 acres of
grass and shrubland to a developed site of impervious surface and landscaped vegetation.
Under the proposed development of Tract B, 10.8 acres of scrub black cottonwood, alder, Scot's
broom and grass vegetation would be lost. Mitigating measures would include the planting of
vegetation as dense buffer along the edge of the P-1 pond and Springbrook Creek and along the
P-1 Pond shoreline. The project proposes to ensure the protection of mature cottonwoods on
Tract B to provide screening and habitat. A number of other mitigation measures are suggested
including increasing the setback distance on Tract B from 400 feet to 600 feet from the heron
colony. This will result in the retention of 1.5 additional acres of native vegetation. Loss of habitat is
a significant adverse impact which cannot be mitigated.
Shorelands/wetlands
The site includes the shorelines along the P-1 Pond and along Springbrook Creek. It also includes
the 1.1 acre remnants of the old Black River channel and a 0.04 acre isolated wetland located on
Tract B and two small isolated depressions of Tract A totalling 0.1 acres. The 0.1 acre wetland
would be filled under the proposal as would the 0.04 acre wetland. The 0.1 acre wetland has low
functional values.The Black River channel is proposed to be used for biofiltration which would
result in a change in the composition of vegetation within the wetland caused by the increase in the
amount of water in the system. This would not be considered a significant adverse impact as more
wetland plants and a larger wetland would emerge. The mitigating measures suggested include
increased buffer zones along the Black River channel, a planting plan for this area, and a drainage
plan which incorporates biofiltration swales before discharge into the Black River channel for water
quality. The filled wetlands would be mitigated by restoration of a disturbed wetland along the
Black River channel.With mitigation measures, no significant adverse impact is expected.
Wildlife (excluding the great blue heron)
Based on a list of mammals whose ranges include the study area, 36 species of mammals are
known to occupy habitat similar to that which occurs in the vicinity of the project area. Six species
have been observed. As many as 85 species of birds may occur in the vicinity of the project area,
as well as 19 species of reptiles and amphibians although census and live trapping did not produce
evidence of this number.
, The proposal will eliminate 11.6 acres of mammal and bird habitat and construction and operational
use may disrupt other wildlife such as waterfowl and heron in the area. After construction,
disrupted waterfowl will probably continue to use the area. Mitigation measures include a number
of suggestions including the placement of a screening berm between the buildings and the P-1
Pond, construction materials and colors for the buildings,vegetated buffers, increased setbacks
from the P-1 pond. Disruption of wildlife, along with loss of habitat is a significant adverse impact
which cannot be fully mitigated.
Unique terrestrial resources:
Directly north of the site,the cottonwood trees are used extensively by a colony of great blue
herons,a monitor species. The nest count ranges from 33 to 40, depending on the observers. The
•
• _II
III
colony arrives in approximately late January to begin the mating and brooding season. Most birds
leave the nesting site between mid-July and August. It is one of the largest urban colonies in the
Puget Sound region. It is likely that outdoor construction on the site will disrupt the breeding cycle. ;I
Operational use of the site later is likely to also affect the heron. Mitigation measures are
extensively discussed in the document, based on a study performed for this EIS alone. They
include setbacks, earthen berms and plantings for screening, building height limitations, hooded
windows, construction scheduling and project phasing and monitoring. Unavoidable adverse
impacts will include obstacles in the heron flight patterns to and from the colony; occasional
disturbance to herons during construction and day to day use of the buildings and parking area.
There is no anticipated impact to heron feeding habitat if guidelines and mitigation measures are
employed. Potential short term impacts from construction noise and longer term impacts from
light and glare, interrupted flight areas, and incidental heron/human interaction.
7. Environmental health
Noise
Noise fromconstruction and use of the site was analyzed in the EIS. Ambient noise levels on the
Yz
site are high now due to the proximity of quarrying activities,traffic, airplane flights, and other
industrial users in the vicinity. Noise may affect residential areas on the surrounding hills and the
wildlife. However,the residential areas are separated from the site by some distance so the noise II
generated would not exceed the noise code for the City of Renton. On the other hand,wildlife will
probably be disrupted by construction noise and later day to day use of the site. A list of mitigating
measures address noise. these include limitations on construction methods,times and activities.,
compliance with noise ordinance during construction periods.There will be short term significant
impacts during construction even with mitigation.
Hazardous Waste
As mentioned in the soils section of this memo.the site was tested for hazardous waste
contamination on Tract A based on comment letters to the DEIS.Two contaminates were present
in levels exceeding DOE clean-up standards. Other contaminates were also elevated but no clean-
up standards are present for these metals. One area appeared to have a leakage or minor spill
from heavy construction equipment stored on the site following the construction of the P-1 pond.
The dredge spoils which contain the contaminants are underlain by soils of low permeability,which
should reduce the downward migration of the contaminants. Development of the site would cover
much of the property with an impermeable asphalt and concrete surface, reducing infiltrating
rainfall. The potential for local surface and groundwater quality degradation resulting from these
contaminants appears low. No significant impacts are expected with the mitigation measures in
place.
C. BUILT ENVIRONMENT
1.. Land and Shoreline Use
Tract A development would continue the office park development in the area,and would therefore :I
not cause a significant impact. Tract B proposal includes a seven story building which is 3 to 4
stories higher than office buildings in the area. The OP zone has no height limit,and construction
of this building could therefore set a precedence.
Relationship to plans,zoning and shorelines
II
Tract A would generally be consistent with the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan,the Zoning
Ordinance,the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance. It is inconsistent with the Shoreline
I
•
Master Program which calls for water dependent commercial uses for the site. However, it is
consistent with the zoning.
Tract B would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan's policy of encouraging low-rise
structures in the Green River Valley. It is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. It is generally in
compliance with the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting ordinance except that the plan shows
impervious surfaces of the parking lot within the dripline of a number of the trees that are to be
retained. Tract B proposal is generally not in compliance with the SMP emphasis on water depend
commercial uses within this area. However,the City of Renton zoning is consistent with the
proposal.
Significant adverse impact of a seven story building would be mitigated by a reducing the height of
the building to not more than five stories.This height is closer to a"mid-rise"concept than the"low
rise policy for the area defined in the Green River Valley Plan.
2. Light and glare
On Tract A the source of light from automobiles will be of greater significance that from outdoor
lighting. Light from the smaller buildings should not be a problem since that light is of a diffuse
indirect source rather than a direct beam of light,which are the principal cause of bird collisions
with structures. Additionally, night lighting within the buildings should be minimal, restricted to
security lighting.
On Tract B outdoor lighting will consist of larger directed floodlights as well as parking lights
described under Tract A. The larger seven story building will also introduce a mass of lit surface
area.
Mitigating measures will decrease some of the light and glare impacts. However,the buildings and
parking proposed for Tract A and B would result in the increased light from buildings and parking,
and glare from automobiles not all of which can be fully mitigated.
3. Historical and cultural resources
Extensive surveys and archaeological excavations were conducted in the study area as part of the
proposed Earlington Park Project in 1980 and 1981 by the University of Washington. Artifacts were
removed from the site and a report on the excavations was prepared by James C. Chatters, project
director. In addition, one five acre tract purchased later, on the extreme western part of Tract A
was not surveyed. Mitigation measures suggest an archaeological excavation of this area to be
done before the construction can proceed. No significant adverse impacts are expected.
4.Traffic
Tracts A and B as proposed were included as part of the"Grady Way Corridor Transportation
Improvement Study"which was a comprehensive traffic analysis of projected traffic volumes and
needed improvements to accommodate those projected volumes in the area. An update of that
study showed that the trip generation of 5,800 vehicular trips per day would be 140%less than
assigned in the Grady Way Corridor study model. The applicant previously completed mitigation
based on the Grady Way corridor study through LID assessments.
The applicant should update his transportation management plan and provide incentives for
reduction of SOV trips. In creased construction levels of traffic will be a temporary impact. The
increase in traffic from the construction and from the development is at levels planned for within
and mitigated by previous traffic studies and LID projects. No significant adverse impact is
expected.
5. Public services and utilities
Parks and Other Recreational Facilities
The site is presently used for passive recreational activities including bird watching and lunchtime
relaxation. The nearest park is Fort Dent in Tukwila, immediately west of the site. However, access
to the park is limited due to the intervening Green River. The closest parks to the site are
Earlington to the north, Philip Arnold to the northeast,Teesdale to the east, and Oakesdale to the
south. The applicant will provide horseshoe courts and a trail system with exercise stations and a
trail around the shorelines allowing pedestrian viewing of the wildlife from screened areas. No
significant adverse impacts are expected, however, an incremental increase in the use of City park
facilities as a result of the project is expected.
6. Cumulative Impacts
The conversion of this undeveloped site will continue the development of the office park uses
found in the proximity. When this parcel is developed,the only remaining natural parcel is the area
north of the P-1 Pond and south of the Burlington Northern Tracks. Soil disturbance through the
area including this project will result in deltaic deposits in the P-1 Pond which will require dredging
and maintenance. Removal of habitat on this site continues the general habitat loss as the area
continues to develop. Some incremental loss of wetlands is expected to occur as not all wetlands
can or will be replaced.This project will provide wetland replacement so will not add to the
incremental loss. Air quality in the region is expected to decline as the population in the Puget
Sound region increases. This project will lead to an incremental increase in CO and Ozone.
As additional development occurs in the area,the use of the P-1 Pond as a great blue heron
nesting site may be adversely affected if sufficient setbacks and buffering are not provided,
particularly on the undeveloped area north of the riparian forest and heron colony. Noise levels in
the area are likely to increase with continued expansion of travel and rock extraction at the
Stoneway Rock quarry, increased air traffic and noise related to office park use in general. Traffic
on Oakesdale and SW Seventh Street will increase, however the percentage of increase in traffic
volumes from this project will be small.
As the area urbanizes with this and other projects, incremental impacts on air,water quality,
wildlife habitat and wetlands will continue.

Attention: Mr. Del Bonds
Subject: Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Study
Black River Office Park
• Powell Avenue Southwest
- Renton, Washington
Gentlemen:
At your request and within the scope of our proposal dated
March 22, 1983 this report presents the results of our Preliminary
Geotechnical Engineering Study for the subject project. The purpose
of this study was to explore the subsurface soil conditions and to
provide preliminary recommendations for preliminary foundation design
1 and the site preparation for the site development process . Further
engineering studies will be required when plans have been finalized
and• building locations and grades are established. The scope of our
study included test pits, borings, laboratory tests, geotechnical
engineering analyses and the preparation of this report.
Our study indicates that the site is immediately underlain by
fine grained compressible soils. The depth of these soils varied
across the site , but in general, they ranged from about five (5) to
thirteen ( 13) feet in depth. Beneath the compressible soils was
loose to medium dense silts and sands over dense silts and sands with
varying amounts of gravel . The static water level measured at the
boring locations was approximately two feet below the existing grade
in most areas where there was not standing water.
Based on our exploration, development of the site as an office/-
warehouse complex is feasible. From a geotechnical view, the primary
design consideration is the existing fine grained compressible soils.
These soils are not suitable for foundation support and will make
site preparation difficult, especially during periods of rainy
weather. We anticipate significant settlement under fill and build-
ing loads . For planning purposes, it may be assumed that office
structures and/or lightly loaded office/warehouse structures may be

supported on pile or augercast pier foundations or conventional
spread footings bearing on a structural fill mat. For a pile or pier
supported foundation, the piles or piers should be extended through
the compressible surface soils into the underlying dense silts and
sands. Since significant settlement may occur as a result of fill
11 and building loads, a conventional spread footing supported building
would require that the building area be preloaded with a surcharge
load to compress the soils prior to construction.
We suggest that the site be drained using interceptor trenches as
soon as possible to drain much of the standing water off the site.
Roads should be constructed as soon as possible to allow for
settlement prior to paving and placement of utilities.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
At the time our study was performed, the site was as shown
schematically on the Boring and Test- Pit Location Plan, Plate 1.
This is based on a site survey plan by Triad Associates dated
April 1, 1983.
The project was in the preliminary design stage at the time of
our study. -It was our understanding that the study area is to be
developed as a light industrial park comprised of office/warehouse
structures. Fills on the order of five to ten feet are planned for
much of the site to raise the site to a proposed building grade of
about Elev. 18 to 20. A large detention pond is to be developed in
the western portion of the site. Development plans call for the
excavated material to be placed in the study area or disposed of by
the developers.
If any of the above design criteria change, we should be con-
sulted to review the recommendations contained in this report. In
any case, it is recommended that Earth Consultants, Inc. be provided
the opportunity for a general review of final design.
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Our field exploration was performed from April 1 through April
12, 1983. Subsurface conditions at the site were explored by
drilling six borings to a maximum depth of forty-nine (49 ) feet below
existing grades and excavating twenty-six (26) test pits . The
borings were drilled using a truck-mounted drill rig. Continuous
flight, hollow stem augers were used to advance and support the
boreholes during sampling. The test pits were excavated using a
rubber tired backhoe . The locations of the borings and test pits
were determined by approximating site features. Elevations of
borings are approximately determined by interpolation between plan
contours. Therefore, the locations and elevations of the borings and
test pits should be considered approximate only. These locations are
shown on the Boring and Test Pit Location Plan, Plate 1.

Alterra Corporation E-1990
May 10, 1983 Page 3
The field exploration was continuously monitored by a staff
engineer from our firm who classified the soils encountered, main-
tained a log of each boring and test pit, obtained representative
samples, measured groundwater levels, and observed pertinent site fea-
tures. Observation wells were installed in all of the borings except
Boring B-2 so that groundwater levels could be monitored. All
samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System which is presented on Plate 2, Legend. Logs of
the borings and test pits are presented on Plates 3 through 23. The
final logs represent our interpretation of the field logs and the
results of the laboratory examination and tests of field samples .
In each boring, Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed
at selected intervals in accordance with ASTM Test Designation
D-1586. In addition, a 2. 4 inch I. D. ring sampler and 2.5 inch
shelby tube was used to obtain less disturbed soil samples at
selected depths.
Shear strengths of the soils were measured where practical in the
field with a penetrometer. These results are recorded on the boring
logs at the appropriate sample depth.
Representative soil samples were placed in closed containers and
returned to our laboratory for further examination and testing.
Visual classifications were supplemented by index tests such as sieve
analyses and Atterberg Limits on representative samples . Field unit
weight and moisture determinations were performed on undisturbed
samples, and moisture contents on all disturbed samples. Results of
density and moisture determinations, together with classifications,
are shown on the boring logs included in this report. The results of
the sieve and hydrometer analyses are illustrated on Plates 24 and
25.
SITE CONDITIONS
Surface
The site is located in Renton, Washington. Irregular in shape,
it covers approximately 71 acres. The site is bordered by the
Burlington-Northern right-of-way to the north and the Earlington Park
development to the south. There is a cover of brush and grass, and a
variety of soft wood trees on the site . The Black River flows west
along the western portion of the southern property boundary. .
Approximately ten (10) to sixteen (16) feet of fills have been placed
along the northern margin parallel to the railroad tracks. About
four feet of fill has been placed in the western portion in the
proposed retention pond area. In addition, some fills appear to have
been placed along the southern margin parallel to the Black River.
These fills may be spoils from dredging the river. The approximate
location of the fills are shown on Plate 1 .

At the time of our field exploration, the central area of the
site was ponded with standing water. Much of- the water was one to
three feet deep, however, in some areas the depths were greater than
four feet. Surface water was observed flowing onto the site from two
twelve (12) inch drains under the railroad along the northern margin.
Subsurface
The site is immediately underlain by approximately five (5) to
thirteen ( 13) feet of soft to stiff clayey silt. Beneath the clayey
silt is loose to medium dense silts to silty sands over dense sands
with varying amounts of silts and gravel. The depth at which the
dense sands were encountered was about twelve (12) to twenty (20 )
feet below the general site grade (Elev. 0 to -8) . Borings B-1
through B-3 were located over the northern site margin fills and
encountered six (6) to twelve (12) feet of fill consisting of clayey
silt to silty sand with gravel and varying amounts of debris
including wood and concrete. Boring B-6, placed in the proposed
retention pond area encountered approximately six feet of sandy silt
fill. Test pits in this area encountered three to six feet of fill
varying from sandy silt to gravelly silty sand and silty clay. A
lens of medium stiff fibrous peat approximately two feet thick was
encountered at a depth of four feet in Test Pit TP-3. This was a
generalized description of subsurface conditions, more specific
descriptions are presented on the boring logs.
Observation wells were placed in each boring except Boring B-2.
Groundwater was measured in each observation well and is presented on
the boring logs.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections of this report present detailed recom-
mendations for various geotechnical engineering aspects of the
project which should be incorporated into the project design and
construction. This report has been prepared for specific application
to this project in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering practices for the exclusive use of the Alterra
Corporation and their representatives. No other warranty, expressed
or implied, is made.
Foundations
For planning purposes, it can be assumed that the proposed office
and office/warehouse structures may be supported on pile or pier
foundations or on conventional footing foundations bearing on a
structural fill mat. The building loads may be supported on piles or
augercast piers extending through the compressible site soils and
bearing in the underlying dense sands. Based on the subsurface

required if grading operations are performed during wet weather .
Ideally, imported fill should consist of a granular material with no
more than 5 percent fines, passing the No. 200 sieve.
A major excavation for installation of a soil conservation
service detention pond is proposed in the western margin of the site .
Based on our field exploration, we anticipate that the excavated
soils could be used as on-site fill. However, the material is wet
and could be difficult to place. These materials can be placed in
areas where no buildings or roadways are to be constructed or in
building and roadway areas that are to be surcharged, or where the
buildings are to be supported on pile foundations . We recommend that
if on-site materials are to be used as fill, that it be spaced out
over the site so that the thickness in any given area that is to
support roads, buildings or utilities, is kept to a minimum. For
ease of placement, it may be desirable to place a working pad of
off-site granular material on the ground surface prior to placement
of on-site materials. -
The fill placement and compaction should be observed and tested
by a representative of Earth Consultants, Inc.
Surface Water Control
The subject site contains fine grained soils that will make
grading operations difficult during wet weather.. It is important
that surface water be controlled. Surface interceptor ditches should
be placed along the site perimeter where water may infiltrate. The
site should be graded to drain at all times and all loose surfaces
11 sealed at night to prevent the infiltration of rain into the soils.
After rainfall, equipment should remain off the soils until they have
had a chance to dry sufficiently.
Settlements 0
Total settlements are dependent on the final fill and building
loads. We anticipate settlements on the order of five inches for.
about five feet of fill. Actual settlements will vary across the
site depending on the thickness of the fills required to develop
building grades and the depth and compressibility of the fine grained
soils. We recommend placement of at least twenty (20) settlement
markers throughout the site to monitor the progress of the
settlement. In addition, this will provide information on the
settlement characteristics of the site soils. We anticipate that it
will take approximately three months for the settlement to stabilize.

HISTORICAL DESIGN NARRATIVE
January 9, 1991
BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK
PHASE VIII TRACT A (SA;SM-109-89)
NW 89017
Tract A was originally submitted in September 1989 as two single-story office
facilities on the west side of the property and beyond 1000 feet from the
heron rookery, which exists to the northeast. The eastern end of Tract A was
considered part of the Environmental Impact Statement for development of Tract
B, and the entire tract was held up and combined with the EIS processing due
to the heron rookery.
The proposed development of alternate A-1 was updated to reflect one single-
story office building to the west, and two four-story office buildings to the
east, which, per the DEIS, these buildings were originally sited beyond 400
feet from the rookery. The current submittal is beyond 600 feet, in addition
to a substantial ten foot high berm and tree buffer being established at the
600 foot line from the rookery.
The buildings are sited to act as a buffer between the rookery and the parking
areas, which increased the allocation of parking to one side of the four-story
building, but substantially provides more landscaping, and a passive side of
the development on the P-1 channel or rookery side of the complex.
The buildings are designed with earth toned colors, hoods or canopy overhangs
on the rookery side above 30 feet, and non-reflective glass, except at the
main entries. The parking lot will be extensively landscaped with trees at 40
foot intervals within parking areas to minimize visual impacts of parking
allocation.
The property for 0akesdale Avenue S.W. and S.W. 7th Street was dedicated by
First City and were improved, including utilities with the majority partici-
pant being First City (in order to develop these properties) . Density of
development is well under the traffic proposed to be generated in the Trans-
portation Studies. First City funded the study as well as the L. I.D. with the
understanding that traffic and L.I.D. assessments for specific projects would
be offset against these costs or to the point the assessments exceeded L.I.D.
costs.

RE: Blackriver Corporate Park, Phase VII and Phase VIII hearing
Dear Stew:
Thank you for your letter of December 4, 1990, regarding the Blackriver Corporate Park
hearings and for your interest in the earlier environmental impact statement hearings. I
have asked City staff in the Planning/Building/Public Works Department to look into
this matter. They inform me that the reason the public hearings before the Hearing
Examiner have been rescheduled is that the Final EIS for this project will not published
until January 9, 1991. Following the publication of the Final EIS, there is a 30-day
appeal period; and, only after this can staff advertise for the public hearing on the
rezone and site plan review. Public hearings before the Hearing Examiner have been
scheduled for March 12, March 19, and March 26, 1991. These are usually held in the
City Council Chambers beginning at 9:00 AM on these days.
Since the Council hears the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on the rezone portion
of the applicant's proposal, Council members do not normally attend the Hearing
Examiner meetings or the Environmental Impact Statement meetings. Also, since the
Council would hear an appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision on the Shorelines
Permit and Site Plan Review aspects of this project, because of the issue of "appearance
of fairness” they again would not likely appear. Since I could be asked to cast a vote in a
tie situation, I would not appear for the same reasons.
As you know, I do share your concerns about the quality of environment future
generations will inherit from us and do try to maintain a balanced perspective on these
types of issues.
If you have specific questions on the project, I would encourage you to discuss these
with Mary Lynne Myer, the project manager for this project, or her supervisor, Don
Erickson, Zoning Administrator.
Thank you again for sharing your views with me.
S'ncerely,
Eaa

Dear Earl:
The latest information I have on the Blackriver Corporate Park
hearings is that tye have been postponed until March 12, 19, and
26, 1991.
. As a member of the Renton Wildlands Preservation and as an old
friend I urge you to attend the filet of these meetings.
At the last hearing no city councilman appeared.
Many of us feel that this type of thing is one that will affect
Renton's future greatly and for a long time .
Your support would be most welcome . Failing that, we would apprec
iate your considering this issue with an open mind at this time and
come to a decision When all the facts are in. Our grandehildren
will pay for our short-sightedness in acceding to short-term addi-
tions to our tax base .
Cordially,

Corporate Park - Tracts A and B Office Buildings
Dear Mary Lynne:
In accordance with our agreement for consulting services, submitted herewith are 13
copies of the Preliminary Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Blackriver
Corporate Park, Tract A and Tract B Office Buildings.
It is my understanding that comments from your review are to be to Jones & Stokes
Associates by December 18, 1990, and that Jones & Stokes Associates is to submit a revised
Final EIS to your office by December 28, 1990.
As I mentioned to you on the telephone, I have not received the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers letter regarding discharge to the P-1 Pond from Mark Miller and therefore
were unable to include that information in this version of the Final EIS. Additionally, the
matrix table of mitigation measures we discussed, will take more computer setup time than
I had anticipated and will therefore be submitted separately at a later date.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

RE : Rivert)ech Corporate Center Phase II
Dear Lenora :
I discussed with Mr . Ivan Lyons , the Soil Conservation Service
Project Manager/Biologist , the enhancement program of the P-1
Channel/Forebay Pond . Mr . Lyons has indicated that biologically,
he feels that additional enhancements can be implemented to
supplement the existing plan developed by the Soil Conservation
Service for mitigation to these areas .
Mr . Lyons indicated that the City may have some hydrolic concerns
regarding additional plantings in the Forebay area . I would like
to meet with you , the Public Works Department and Rod DenHerder ,
to further discuss the hydraulic concerns regarding this Forebay
area . In past discussions with Rod Denllerder , he has indicated
that adequate flows should be able to be maintained with proper
coordination between the hydraulic specialist and the biologist .
The areas labeled Area A and B of your most recent letter are not
under our control . These properties are owned by First City
Washington, and due to their existing land use process , they
cannot give up the opportunity to enhance these areas themselves
as mitigation for future development .
We are still confident that we can develop an enhancement plan in
the dedicated portion of the P-1 Channel/Forebay Pond that will
meet the requirements of both the biologist and hydraulic
specialist .
Ms . Lenora Blauman
October 29, 1990
Page 2
I look forward to meeting with you Thursday, November 1 , 1990 , to
further discuss the hydraulogical alternatives involved in
enhancing the dedicated portion of the P-1 Channel/Forebay.
Mr . Lyons, of the Soil Conservation Service, will be in Seattle
November 20. He is available to meet with us. at the City of
Renton on the afternoon of the 20th to further discuss the
biological requirements of the enhancement program.
Sincerely,

CITY OF RENTON RECEWED
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 20, 1990
TO: Mary Lynne Meyer
Senior Environmental Planner
Planning/Building/Public Works Department
VIA: Sam Chastain, Parks and Recreation Director
FROM: Christopher Peragine,AIA, Facilities Designer G�(
SUBJECT: Black River Corporate Park,Tracts A and B, D.E.I.S.
Whatever disposition the proposed development of Tracts A and B might assume,
the Department wishes to emphasize that the unique and fragile natural resources
of wildlife and vegetation on and immediately adjacent to the subject site could, if
nurtured, comprise invaluable features that could dramatically benefit the site, this
area of the city, and the entire region.
If development does occur and mitigating measures such as setbacks and buffers
from the heronry(ries) are established, the required landscaping and earthwork
could be designed as a passive recreational amenity affording the public controlled
access to the natural habitat of the P-1 Pond and Channel and Riparian Forest.
This might take the form of a trail, ten to fifteen feet wide along the edge separating
the development from the habitat with trailheads for pedestrians at the east and
west edges of the subject property. Such an amenity could be an easement deeded
over to the City for maintenance by the Department.
It should be noted that the areas of Riparian Forest already ceded by the owners of
the subject property to the City and other areas nearby are potentially part of Open
Space Bond Issue Programs being considered by the City, County, and the State. If
no development were to be the preferred option, the Department would initiate
buffering of and limited controlled access to the subject site so that it could
contribute to or be an actual part of such land use.

RE: Black River Corporate Park Dredge Spoils
Sampling Plan
Dear Ms. Meyer:
After speaking with the proponents ' consultant about the sample
plan developed for the dredge spoils area at the Black River
Corporate Park Project, it seems appropriate to advise the City
of Renton of our recommendations. As you are aware, the
0 Department is proscribed from approving independent cleanup plans
by potentially liable persons, but may provide technical
assistance or recommendations to local governments under the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) .
We would recommend, for purposes of obtaining representative
screening samples for potential site contamination, that the
proponent:
1. Advance one boring from the surface of the dredge
spoils to the underlying, undisturbed soil, within each
1500 square feet of spoils bed surface area;
2. Sample at least on-half of the borings within each
three ( 3 ) foot vertical interval as the boring is
advanced i.e. surface, 0-3 feet, 3-6 feet, etc. ) with
each sample analyzed as a descrete sample; and
3 . The remaining samples may be composite samples, at the
discretion of the city and the sampler.
The analytical regimen proposed appears to address the potential .
contamination we currently know about at this site, consisting
of:

Subject: Proposed Soil Sampling, and,Analysis Program of the Dredge Spoils
from the P-1 Pump Station Forebay
Black River Corporate Park, Tract A
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Peck:
This letter describes .the proposed soil .sampling and analysis program of the spoils
hydraulically dredged from the P-1 Channel: Pump Station forebay into a retention pond :on
Tract A. of the. Black River Corporate Park in Renton, Washington.- During the June. 6,
1990 meeting between Mr.. Norm Peck and. Ms. .Gail Coburn of,Ecology;.Mr. Mark Miller,
Mr. Royce Berg, Ms. Amy Kosterlitz, and Mr. Kevin Moxon of First City Development; Ms.
Mary Lynne Myer of the City of Renton; and Mr. Steve Hughes of Earth Consultants, Inc.
(ECI); a preliminary assessment of potential contamination in the dredge spoils was requested
by Ecology. At the conclusion of the meeting, it was agreed that Ecology would review the
proposed soil sampling and analysis program prior to its implementation.
PROPOSED SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAM
ECI proposes to sample the dredge spoils at four discrete locations using a 2 to 4-inch
' diameter hand auger._ Analytical soil samples will be collected from a maximum depth of
2 to 3 feet below ground surface. All analytical soil samples will be placed in pre-cleaned
glassware, sealed, labelled, refrigerated, and transported under chain-of-custody to a certified
analytical laboratory.
Soil sampling equipment will be decontaminated ' prior to sampling .and in between each test
hole by washing with a trisodium phosphate/water solution and rinsing with distilled water.
Based on the available .data collected .on ..emplacement of the dredge spoils. on Tract, A in
1984, the approximate thickness of the'dredge spoils ranges from 3 to 10 feet. The .proposed
soil sampling .depths may not 'cover the entire thickness of the dredge spoils. ., However,
representative soil samples for characterizing contamination in the dredge spoils should. be
found at depths of 2 to 3 feet.

Washington State Department of Ecology PR-1912
July 6, 1990 Page 2
Given the fine-grained soil matrix, the potential for downward migration of contaminants,
during settlement in the retention pond in 1984 or subsequent downward migration with
infiltrating rainfall, appears low. Therefore, if significant contamination is present in the
dredge spoils, we expect to detect it within the upper 2 to 3 feet of spoils.
Borehole and test pit logs of the native soils indicate that delineating the contact between
the bottom of the dredge spoils and the underlying native soils may be difficult due to the
similarity of their physical composition (primarily silty sand/sandy silt). Therefore, sampling
the upper 3 feet of soil will ensure that the dredge spoils are sampled rather than the
underlying native soils.
During the June 6, 1990 meeting, the possibility of using a mobile hollow stem auger drill
rig, equipped with split spoon samplers, was also discussed. The use of a drill rig would
facilitate sampling of the entire thickness of the dredge spoils. However, the close proximity
of the heron rookery restricts the use of heavy equipment on Tract A until July 15, 1990 or
later. Furthermore, First City Development would like to proceed with the proposed soil
sampling program on July 9 or 10, 1990 in order to avoid potential costs associated with
delaying their development plans.
LABORATORY ANALYTICAL PROGRAM
One soil sample or composite soil sample from each test hole will be submitted to the
project laboratory for a priority pollutant scan which includes the following tests:
. Volatile Organics (EPA Method 8240)
▪ Semi Volatile Organics (EPA Method 8270)
• Chlorinated Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA Method 8080)
▪ Priority Pollutant Metals (Atomic Absorption/Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy)
• Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPA Method 418.1)
▪ Hexavalent Chromium (EPA Method 7195 pr 7196)
▪ Cyanide
SCHEDULE
First City Development would like to complete the requested preliminary assessment of the
dredge spoils as soon as possible. Therefore, your expediency in reviewing and responding
to the proposed sampling and analysis program for assessing potential contamination in the
dredge spoils would be appreciated.

Renton, WA 98055
Dear Ms. Meyer: _
We are writing to second the concerns expressed by citizens of Renton about
the Blackriver Corporate Park draft Environmental Impact Statement of April 1990.
We agree that the heronry should not suffer adverse environmental impact as a
result of any proposed development. In any land use decision first consideration
should be given to the effect on natural elements. While recognizing the need to
balance those activities dependent on natural elements with the needs of people,
we believe uniqueness and scarcity as well as the probable irreversibility of
decisions should be a major consideration in decisions by the City of Renton to
resolve land use conflicts.
Specific concerns with regard to the Blackriver EIS include the placement of
buildings and parking areas too close to the heronry. Without adequate buffering,
herons and other wildlife can be adversely disturbed by movement, light, noise,
and poor air and water quality. Paving in this area will eliminate habitat for other
wildlife. We believe that whenever possible natural topography such as wetlands
should be utilized as buffer zones between developments. This can benefit both
the general public and employees in the developments. Donald Verrico,
environmental affairs manager for Du Pont, is quoted in the July 1990 National
Geographic Magazine as saying, "Wildlife management makes people feel good
about where they work."
Thank you for your efforts to ensure responsible and effective land use
management.
Sincerely yours,
Marian Calhoun

RE: Issues for Final EIS resolution
Dear Mark;
Thank you for facilitating the June 6 meeting between First
City, Department of Ecology and the City. I faxed you my
summary of this meeting. I would appreciate your review of
its accuracy, according to your understanding of the
agreements reached. I felt the meeting clarified concerns.
It also gave direction for researching the possible soils
contamination on site.
Methodology and timing for soils testing was one of the
discussion items of the meeting. After the meeting, I
consulted with Don Erickson, Chief of Current Planning, and
also I researched the nesting cycle of the herons. Based on
information from Jon Ives, the EIS consultant; the
U. S.Department of Wildlife and the Washington State
Department of Wildlife, at this time, the eggs are in early
stages of hatching, and the fledglings are susceptible to
noise and human intrusion. If any soils tests are made
between now and July 15, we must be advised in advance. In
addition, the consultants should be directed to use a non-
motorized hand auger and limit their time on site. Norm
Peck from the Department of Ecology indicated his
theoretical approval of this method, given the
circumstances. I suggest you have your consultants discuss
their work plan with DOE, prior to testing.
After July 15, a. drill rig could be used. Testing should
not exceed the two day time limit discussed in our June 6,
1990, meeting.. I understand twenty-five to thirty blows
would be required. Please inform me if this is not correct.
Again, I suggest your consultants discuss their work plan
with DOE, prior to testing.
200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055
As regards other items for resolution in the FEIS, I noted
the following from our discussion June 6 with Royce Berg,
Amy Kosterlitz, Kevin Moxon, you and me:
heron studies
traffic update
wildlife/habitat additions
history of the project and past mitigating measures
granted by First City
additional discussion on Comprehensive Plan and Green
River Valley Plan
security issues in the Parking garage
parks concerns
I conveyed these items to Mr. ives, and told him to contact
you for background, research and/or information on any of
them.
Finally, the project is scheduled for hearing with the
Hearing Examiner on July 17 . Clearly the work needed for the
FEIS will not permit us to meet this schedule. I have asked
Mr.Ives to submit a revised schedule which I will discuss
with you as soon as I receive it. At that time, we can
reschedule another date with the Examiner.
Again, thank you for your continued cooperation and effort
in resolving issues. Please call me at 235-2550 if you have
questions or concerns.
Sincerely yours,

SUBJ: Comments on draft EIS
ECF;SA;SM-071-88/ECF;SA;SM-109-89
dated May 11, 1990
Dear Ms. Myer:
Per our review of the Draft EIS and the public comments presented at the
public meeting on May 1, 1990, we are providing the following comments for the
record and review of the EIS.
1. VEGETATION TABLE 1-2, Page 1-6 and reference P.1-11: mitigating measures
. .participation with the city of Renton in a similar planting program
with King County and the S.C.S. on land adjacent to the P-1 and and
Springbrook. "
We feel this requires clarification or rewording; the land that
comprises the pond, Springbrook and the buffer from the high-water line
to the current parcels A and B property lines was dedicated by First
City to S.C.S. and Renton to create the pond. First City should not
have to further participate in funding off-site landscaping. The
landscape program established by S.C.S. included the natural grasses
that exist today and provide the visual amenity and habitat as
photographed and painted by the speakers at the public hearing for the
DEIS. We recommend this read as previously quoted in earlier drafts:
"City of Renton should coordinate a similar planting program with King
County and S.C.S. Engineers on land under their jurisdiction. "
2. ITEM 1 ABOVE AND PER PUBLIC TESTIMONY AT THE HEARING OF THE DEIS: It is
important to note that the habitat, pond, tree and grass areas
photographed and presented in slides and artists' paintings at the
hearing will not change with the proposed developments. These areas,
the buffer from the pond to the new parcel lines, the existing
significant trees and wetlands on the parcels will remain intact.

Letter to Myer/City of Renton
Page 2
To combine all comments in one letter, we also need to reiterate the
following:
3. The original submittal for Tract B reflected a seven-story office
building (located adjacent to the P-I pond) that would function as a
buffer between the heron rookery and the parking areas, with the old
Blackriver channel being filled per the original approved EIS. This was
the basis for the current DEIS. After reviewing the preliminary EIS
consultant comments, First City revised the proposals to the alternates
(A-1, B-1 and 6-2) per the consultant recommendations (including
revising the building locations) .
This initial concept is currently reflected in the DEIS, Appendix B,
figures 2 and 3 on the Great Blue Heron. This provides the public with
a copy of the original submittal , but also confuses the issue in
relation to the proposed alternatives which preserve wetlands, establish
heron flight zones and locate buildings per EIS consultant
recommendations.

RE: Blackriver Corporate Park, D.E.I.S. - Parks and

Recommendations
DATE: May 16, 1990
The draft E.I.S. does not satisfactorily address Parks and
Recreation Department concerns in Chapter 3 - "affected
environment, significant impacts and utilization measures. "
Some of the reasons are as follows:
1) Section 3 .9 (on page 3-68) "affected environment" :
To say that "activities might include bird
watching and lunch time relaxation" does not
recognize the varieties and types of use such as
hiking, walking, interpretation and education and
the environmental amenities that could support
such activities and that are truly at issue.
Furthermore, Habitat Preservation (if not
reclamation, ) Land Use Development standards, and .
Public Open Space are some other concerns that we
feel could be listed under your heading "Parks and
Other Recreational Facilities" (the very heading
seems to undercut our department's goals) . The
part of the Blackriver Corporate Park site that is
the location of this project is a sensitive
environment. If this proposed development is
determined to be appropriate, then our department
would like to help enhance water quality, plant
life and other site essentials by addressing
factors that concern, for example, encroachment
and controlled use.

2) Section 3 .9. 1 "Impacts" and "Mitigation measures" :
Because of the preceding very limited definition
of "affected environment", only the use of
existing Parks and Recreation services is
addressed. No mention is made of potential or
even proposed Park's Department projects such as
the P-1 trail, its surrounding sensitive
environment, and the potential enhancement of
same.
3) Chapter 2 "Description of the Proposed Action and
Alternatives":
While the introduction to this chapter begins to
establish standards (eg: Figure 2-1, Significant
Environmental Features/Recommended Setbacks;
Tracts A and B, Blackriver Corporate Park) these
are not thereafter addressed. The Mature
Cottonwood of Tract B, the Wetlands of Tract B,
the 1, 000' and 600' radii from the Great Heron
Rookery and the Heron Flight Zones are aspects
that affect our Department. These sort of
"determinants" do not seem to have noticeably
affected any of the proposed Site Plans.
Sam, Bill and I appreciate your taking the time to inform us
of this project's review status and process and some of its
recent history. However, we remain convinced that the
proposed project's siting, area and bulk cannot be
adequately modified by the measures proposed such as
planting, linear buffers, non-reflective and tinted glazing
and 600' planting setbacks and that these comprehensive
issues are a legitimate concern of our Department.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 16, 1990
TO: Mary Lynne Meyer,Senior Environmental Planner
FROM: Penny Bryant, Crime Prevention Coordinator
SUBJECT: DEIS -BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK OFFICE BUILDINGS
As we discussed briefly sometime ago,the police department is concerned about the potential
parking structures that may be constructed in conjunction with the Blackriver Corporate Park.
The concerns that the police department has surrounds the probable construction of a parking
structure. Parking garages are known for the lack of security they provide and the increase in
vulnerability that they cause for the users of such structures.
Such facilities are typically dark,making it difficult to see,floors are on a grade,further
obstructing sight.There often is no method of summing aid.
Blackriver Corporate Park is not a solely occupied facility such as Boeing and they do not
indicate that the facility will be secured,keeping illegitmate users from entering the grounds
and subsequently the parking structure without being confronted.
There are several ways of mitigating these problems,most would come later through site plan
review,but I'll mention them now for informational purposes:
1. The stairwells and elevators should be on the exterior ends of the building and
they should be constructed with glazing material that allows visibility of the
occupants from outside the structure.
2. Stairwells should be equipped with emergency notification systems,call boxes
or phones for emergency response.
3. The parking structure should have a minimum eight foot clearance throughout
the garage.
4. The structure should have designated walking paths that are illuminated.
5. All stairwells and elevators should be clearly marked and the direction in
which to travel to reach them, also marked.
6. The parking structure should have lighting in the stairwells at all times.
7. The management should encourage that the parking structure be the last to
arrive,first to leave parking area.

Ms. Mary Lynne Myer
Senior Environmental Planner
Department of Community Development

Renton, Washington 98055
Dear Ms. Myer:
Re: Black River Corporate Park Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
I have studied Great Blue Herons in the Pacific Northwest for a number
of years and have published about a dozen papers in refereed, scientific
journals about Great Blue Heron nesting and feeding biology (see Literature
Cited at end of this letter).
I have read the DEIS and am concerned about the inadequacy of the
proposed guidelines to protect the affected Great Blue Heron colony. I urge
that the following guidelines that are partially derived from the Washington
Department of Wildlife Nongame Program (1988) guidelines given in the DEIS
on p. B-11 be followed in the construction of the Black River Corporate
Park:
1) No disturbance within 800-1,300 ft of the heron colonybe allowed during
9
the breeding season from January 15 through August 1.
2) No disturbance be allowed within 750 ft of the heron colony throughout the
year.
3) Stands of trees at least 50 ft high and at least 10 acres in area should
be preserved.
My reasons for recommending these guidelines are on the following
pages.
Thank your for your time and consideration in considering my comments
on the Black River DEIS.
Yours,
goMv..,19 .
Range D. Bayer
Page 1 of 8' pages of`Bayer's Comments on Black River Corporate Park DEIS
No activity should be allowed near this Great Blue Heron colony after
January 15. Few researchers have made observations at Pacific Northwest
Great Blue Heron colonies before mid-February, but, at two colonies, some
herons were present as early as January 28-30 (Trowbridge and Bayer In
Press). Since Vos et al. (1985), who studied the effects of human
disturbance on Great Blue Herons, concluded that disturbance should not be
allowed near heron colonies after herons first arrive at a colony, activity
within the buffer zone around the Black River colony should not be allowed
after January 15 to minimize the risk of disturbing early nesting herons.
Evidence that allowing human activity such as construction or land
clearing near a Great Blue Heron colony in February is,detrimental is that
construction work done near the Black River colony on 18 February 1987
resulted in the delayed fledging of Great Blue Herons (Murphy 1988).
Further, an average of only 2.0 young per successful nest (i.e., a nest that
fledged young) was fledged at the disturbed Black River colony in 1987
(Murphy 1988); this is less than the 2.2-3.4 young per successful nest found
at other Great Blue Heron colonies in the Pacific Northwest (Henny and
Bethers 1971, Werschkul et al. 1976, 1977; English 1978, Simpson and Kelsall
1978, Warren 1979, Trowbridge and Bayer In Press).
The DEIS on p. B-5 suggests that Great Blue Herons will nest in small
trees or shrubs if large trees are not available. While this can occur in
some areas within the range of the Great Blue Heron, I know of no
instance, and the DEIS gives no examples, of Great Blue Herons nesting in
shrubs in western Washington or Oregon, so this is not currently a likely
possibility in the King County area.
The DEIS misleadingly suggests that Great Blue Herons can tolerate
human activity near a heron colony. Human disturbance such as logging,
construction, or repeated human intrusions into or near a heron colony
during the breeding season can cause total abandonment of a Great Blue Heron
colony (Mark 1976, Werschkul et al. 1976, English 1978, Kelsall and Simpson
1979, Forbes et al. 1983, Murphy 1988).
Further, the authors of the DEIS have failed to mention that the mere
presence of Great Blue Herons at a colony site does not mean that the colony
is "viable" (see p. B-3, "Rookery Status" and p. B-7 in the DEIS). Herons
can be present at a disturbed colony but if no young are fledged or if fewer
young are produced than are necessary to maintain a stable population, then
the heron population is not truly viable (i.e., self-sustaining). Herons, - -
like gulls (Bayer 1983), can return each year to a disturbed site
(especially when there are few nesting sites as in King County) even though
their nesting success is poor.
The case studies cited in the DEIS to show that Great Blue Herons
tolerate nearby human disturbance are incomplete because the nesting
success is not given for any of the sites. Disturbance can cause some Great
Blue Herons to abandon their nests; for example, 90-93% of nests in -
undisturbed colonies were active, which was significantly greater than in
disturbed colonies (Werschkul et al. 1976, Simpson and Kelsall 1978) or than
the 75% active nests observed in a disturbed colony studied by Webb and
Forbes (1982). Although some Great Blue Herons that abandon their nests may
renest, some have apparently abandoned nesting for the entire nesting season
because of disturbance such as construction or land clearing (English 1978,
Page 2 of 8 pages of Bayer's Comments on Black River Corporate Park DEIS
•
Simpson and Kelsall 1978). Other herons that abandon their nest and go
elsewhere to nest will probably do so at a more distant heron colony and
thus have reduced nesting success because herons typically nest near their
foraging areas and if forced to nest farther from their foraging areas, they
can have lower nesting success (e.g., Simpson et al. 1987).
There are at least six examples where the nesting success of Great Blue
Herons at disturbed colonies was lower than normal. As previously
mentioned, the 2.0 young fledged per successful nest at the disturbed Black
River colony in 1987 was less than that at other Great Blue Heron colonies.
Second, Werschkul et al. (1976) found that the average Great Blue Heron
fledging success of 2.20 young per successful nest at a disturbed colony was
lower than in three out of four undisturbed Oregon Coast colonies. Third,
Simpson and Kelsall (1978) found that, in 1978, the average of 2.06 young
per successful nest at the Pender Harbour colony in British Columbia, where
road construction and tree clearing for a housing development were occurring
nearby, was less than the 2.6 average at an undisturbed colony; in 1979,
when human disturbance at the Pender Harbour colony was reduced because the
development was abandoned, the average number of young per successful nest
increased markedly to 3.0 (Forbes et al. 1983:38, Simpson et al. 1987:576).
Fourth, the 2.14 and 2.20 young fledged per successful nest in 1978 and
1979, respectively, at a colony in Idaho about 680 ft away from railroad
tracks and about 1,320 ft away from a campground (Collazo 1979:4, 1981) was
about 0.4-1.2 young per successful nest less than at a much less disturbed
colony in Idaho studied in the same years (Warren 1979). Fifth, Webb and
Forbes (1982) recorded a nesting success of 2.33 young per successful nest
at a disturbed colony in British Columbia, which is comparable to the number
of fledglings per successful nests at undisturbed colonies, but the
proportion of abandoned nests was high at their colony, so that Great Blue
Herons in their colony only fledged 1.75 young per nest, which is less than
than found per nest or breeding pair at undisturbed Pacific Northwest
colonies (Henny and Bethers 1971, English 1978). Sixth, and finally, a
Great Blue Heron colony in Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia is
famous for being near ongoing human disturbance from passersby and is cited
in the DEIS on p. B-7 as an example of a colony that has persevered with
disturbance since 1921; however, the authors of the DEIS did not mention
that this colony, perhaps because of disturbance, had moved at least twice
since 1921 (Mark 1976:37, Forbes et al. 1983:48-49) and that the nesting.
success at this colony in 1980 and 1981 was reduced to only 2.05 and 2.18
young per successful nest, respectively (Forbes et al. 1983:48). In
summary, there is ample evidence that nesting success at some disturbed
Great Blue Heron colonies is less than at undisturbed colonies.
Disturbance such as construction or land clearing can lower nesting
success by causing those Great Blue Herons that do not abandon nesting to
leave their nests in haste (which can break eggs or knock young out of the
nest) and expose their eggs or young to predators or inclement weather that
may kill heron eggs or small young (e.g., Simpson and Kelsall 1978, Kelsall
and Simpson 1979, Vos et al. 1985). Disturbance can also delay or impair
nesting so that young fledge later and are smaller than average, so that
their post-fledging survival may be much less than for fledglings from
undisturbed colonies.
The DEIS suggests that disturbed Great Blue Heron colonies are "viable,"
but this is misleading because the nesting success of disturbed Great Blue
Herons can be less than necessary to maintain stable population numbers.
Although Henny" (1972:33) estimated that 1.91 young per pair of Great Blue
Page 3 of 8 pages of Bayer's Comments on Black River Corporate Park DEIS
.
Herons are necessary to maintain a stable population, he included data from
birds reared and banded at National Wildlife Refuges, where Great Blue
Herons evidently survive much better than elsewhere (Bayer 1981c). Bayer
(1981c) estimated that herons reared north of 40 N latitude and away from
National Wildlife Refuges would need to produce as many as 2.33 young per
breeding pair to maintain a stable population. Since the number of young
fledged per successful nest is 0.2-2.1 young greater than per breeding pair
or per nest (Vermeer 1969, Henny and Bethers 1971, English 1978, Warren
1979, Collazo 1981, Webb and Forbes 1982), a minimum average of at least
2.11 young per successful nest (based on Henny 1972:33) or perhaps as many
as 2.53 young per successful nest (based on Bayer 1981c) must be produced to
maintain a stable population from non-National Wildlife Refuge colonies such
as the Black River colony. The breeding success of 2.0 young per successful
nest at the disturbed Black River colony in 1987 (Murphy 1988) is clearly
below current best estimates of the reproductive success necessary to
maintain .a truly viable (i.e., self-sustaining) heron population, and it is
also questionable if the breeding success at some of the other disturbed
colonies mentioned previously is adequate.
On p. B-10, the DEIS misleadingly indicates that Great Blue Herons
established and maintained colonies at sites of disturbance that was
"obviously acceptable" to the herons. This conclusion is baseless for
several reasons. First, the herons really may not have had any choice but
to nest near the disturbance; if they nested farther away from their feeding
areas, they may have had even lower nesting success (see Simpson et al.
1987). Second, Great Blue Herons indicate their displeasure with
disturbance by moving their nests away from it. For example, at disturbed
colonies, active nests were significantly farther away from disturbance than
were inactive nests (Werschkul et al. 1976), and herons that abandoned their
nests because of disturbance then built new nests at a disturbed colony
farther away from the disturbance (Simpson and Kelsall 1978). Third, this
DEIS fails to mention that the kinds of human disturbance have differed
between their-exampl-es-of-disturbed colonies and that while Great Blue
Herons can become habituated to some forms of human disturbance, they are
less tolerant of others. The proposed Black River construction beginning on
February 15 is a type of disturbance that could adversely affect Great Blue
Herons because herons have sometimes responded to construction by abandoning
their colony or nests and because herons are most sensitive to disturbance
early in the nesting season (Vos et al. 1985) and herons can first arrive at
their colonies in late January (Trowbridge and Bayer In Press).
The DEIS implies that if a disturbed colony grows, then the colony is
viable. This can be fallacious unless information about the nesting success
at the disturbed colony or knowledge about the fate of surrounding colonies
is available. For example, the DEIS indicates on p. B-8 that the number of
nests at the Lake Sammamish State Park Great Blue Heron colony has
increased; what the DEIS neglects to mention is that the growth of this
colony may be because of the abandonment of a nearby colony at Weowna County
Park (see Murphy 1988). There appears to be a shortage of available nesting
sites for Great Blue Heron colonies in King County (see Murphy 1988), so
herons are forced to nest in the few sites remaining, in spite of
disturbance.
In summary, since the DEIS fails to give the nesting success at any of
the disturbed colonies cited as examples of herons tolerating human
disturbance, the DEIS' conclusion that disturbed Great Blue Heron colonies
are "viable" is inappropriate and questionable. On the contrary, there is

r 1
ample evidence that some forms of human disturbance, including construction,
can hurt heron nesting success.
The distance guidelines of the Washington Department of Wildlife (WDW)
to eliminate disturbance around a Great Blue Heron colony are reasonable and
should be followed. The WDW has undoubtedly spent time and care in
determining their guidelines, which (in my opinion) contrasts to the
sometimes sloppy preparation of the DEIS' Appendix B (see below). The WDW's
recommended buffer zone of 800-1,300 ft around a Great Blue Heron colony
that is cited in the DEIS on p. B-11 is reasonable because Buckley and
Buckley (1976) recommended that there should be a buffer zone of 1,000 ft
around colonial nesting waterbird colonies. Further, the average distance
between active nests and disturbance was 718 ft at one Great Blue Heron
colony (Werschkul et al. 1976). Additionally, Short and Cooper (1985) and
Vos et al. (1985) both recommend that a buffer zone of 820 ft on land and
492 ft on water be maintained to avoid human disturbance. The case studies
in the DEIS that are given to indicate that herons can tolerate human
disturbance at closer distances are either for less obtrusive disturbances
than the construction proposed for the Black River Project or for disruptive
disturbances that may not have occurred during the Great Blue Heron's
breeding season. Using the Black River Great Blue Heron colony as an
example, construction in February definitely disturbed the heron's nesting
in 1987 (Murphy 1988).
On p. B-7 of the DEIS, it is stated that Taylor and Reshkin (1981)
(which should actually be Taylor et al. 1981) concluded that
• . . recreational activities during the nesting season could be allowed
within 575 feet of the nesting rookery." This DEIS' statement is erroneous;
Taylor et al. (1981) actually recommended that limited recreational use be
no closer than 574 ft (175 m) of the heron colony. The DEIS correctly
interpets Taylor et al.'s (1981) guideline on p. B-11. The proposed Black
River_Corporate.Park- would involve a more intense form of human disturbance
than the limited recreational use considered by Taylor et al (1981), so
Taylor et al.'s (1981) buffer zone of 574 ft and, certainly, the 400 ft
buffer zone proposed for Tract B of the Black River development (p. B-14 of
the DEIS) could be inadequate to maintain a truly viable (i.e., self-
sustaining) heron population at the Black River colony.
In my opinion, parts of the DEIS' Appendix B were hastily written with
inadequate care. The sloppiness in the writing of Appendix B indicates to
me that the proposed guidelines in Appendix B may not have been thoughtfully _
enough researched and are inadequate.
The sloppiness of Appendix B preparation is apparent in the following
items, which are by no means all the errors in Appendix B:
1) p. 6-2: Erickson (pers. comm.) and Alimendinger letter are not given
in the "Literature Cited" or "Personal Communications."
2) p. B-4: Contrary to what is written, Lowe (1954) contains no information
about the Great Blue Heron; Lowe (1954) is about a different
species, the Gray Heron.
3) p. B-4: It is not true that any of the references that are cited as
Doctoral dissertations are really Doctoral dissertations. In fact,
only one of the four references cited is a Thesis at all !
4) p. B-4: The Milner pers. comm. is not listed in the "Personal
Communications" at the end of Appendix B.

Only the Rook of Europe nests in rookeries. It is more proper to

COMMENTS ON THE BLACKWA1 ER CORPORATE PARK DRAFT
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF APRiL , 1990

Introduction
My comments on the Blackwater Corporate Park draft environmental
statement are confined to those portions where I have some
experience and expertise. They are those sections of the main
report dealing with plants and animals and , particularly, with
"Appendix B - Life history and effects of human disturbance on
great blue heron rookeries" . Because I have not visited the site,
my review is concerned only with the technical accuracy and
adequacy of what is said in the EIS. I do not comment specifically
on proposed mitigation measures or alternative plans because, in
my opinion , the biological baseline is inadequate for such
considerations .
•
A strong first impression was that the EIS appears to accept the
•
corporate park development as virtually a foregone conclusion -
•
that the only decisions remaining are those of how best to provide
for the retention of some habitat and wildlife around.__,:.the_ ._ _
peripheries of the site . The heron colony and P-1 pond are the only
• wildlife values given more than superficial consideration , and the
corporate park design is modified, perhaps only slightly, to lessen
- impacts on them. A "no action" alternative is mentioned in '
connection with each section of the development , but is nowhere
seriously discussed . No information is given on the importance of
• the existing site to local wildlife, to the local environment , or
to the quality of lite in Renton . What is planned for the residual
riparian forest adjacent to - the site? From the scant information
supplied, it seems that the corporate park site may supply some
wild land that complements the residual forest by adding
considerable biological diversity. •
Deficiencies in the EIS
The most serious, immediately apparent , deficiency in the
•
environmental impact statement is • the absence of biological
inventory. Biological inventory is usually the first , basic , and
• necessary step when making an environmental assessment . It is
difficult to imagine attempting biological description of an area
without first knowing what is there, but that is exactly what the
Blackwater Corporate Park draft attempts to do. There are no lists
•
2
of plants , amphibians , reptiles , birds, or mammals . Scientific
nomenclature is not given for the few species that are specifically
rnent:ioned in the text . Vegetative habitat components are mentioned,
but only in qualitative, rather than quantitative, fashion . From
• the text , it appears that biological investigations on the ground
may have been limited to a single field trip - "the field visit in
mid-June" (p. 3-31 ) , although "field visits" are referred to (p.
B4) _in connection with the heronry in Appendix B.
The text , particularly "3. 5. 1 Vegetation" and "3 . 5. 3 Wildlife
Resources" , is full of qualifiers that reinforce an impression that
there was no on-site description of current biota . Such phrases as
• "Species such as Timoth "y . . .are present an extensive shrub zone
characterized primarily of red alder and black cottonwood" , " trees
of approximately 100 to 130 feet in height" , "Species such as red
• alder" , "it is likely that predators use these wetland areas" ,
"wildlife most likely to utilize the site include" ,
"Waterfowl , . .may nest" , do not lend confidence that the authors
had more than a superficial idea of what they were writing about .
In general , plants .and plant associations are described somewhat .
better than the animals . The authors at least knew the colloquial
names of a number of grasses, herbaceous plants , shrubs, and trees .
The reader gets a reasonable idea of the sorts of vegetative,
associations that will be lost -with development of the site, but ___
no idea of the importance of that loss to the surrounding
environment ,
___Referenee is _.made to a dozen or so bird species, although it is not
clear if they were seen by the investigators, or are merely .
mentioned as being possible occupants of the site. -
A few mammals are mentioned by name as well, but again with no
certain indication that they were identified through on-site •
investigation . One would like to know what the investigators mean
- when -they say "Few mammals, other than mice, voles , and adaptable
• predators such as racoons, striped skunks, and opossums will be
sustained. " What are the mammals that , through inference, will not
be sustained? For that matter what species of voles and mice are
• they talking about , and in what numbers? There are some rare and
interesting voles and mice in the Pacific 'northwest , and. there are
• also some extremely common ones that provide much food for
predators, including great blue herons. Are there shrews, moles,
• other small species, or other large species, present?
Things are even less clear with the "amphibians and reptiles" . No
------ -.--- -- amphibians or reptiles are named. Insects are not considered at '
all .
I would. like to have some assurance that the site is not
ecologically important to a larger area, and that it does not
- - contain rare or endangered life forms . No such assurance can be
.

given or int.er. r•ed from the EIS as it stands .
The engineering aspects of the Environmental. Impact Statement may
be well done and thorough . They include some hard data , and appear
to have some substance, but I am not qualified to judge them. I can
state, however , that , excepting some aspects of Appendix B, the
biological. aspects of the environmental statement are simplistic
and superficial in the extreme.
Appendix B and the great blue heron nesting colony
The description and discussion of the great blue heron colony,
adjacent to the Blackwater Corporate Park site, is surprisingly
limited, considering the prominence given to it in the EIS .
Biological data relating to it appear to be almost entirely
derived from unpublished reports and conversgtions . The colony is
not well described . We are told that the nests are in a grove of
"140 to 150 foot tall" black cottonwoods . We are not told the
number or extent of trees used for nesting, the heights of the
nests above ground, the condition or viability of the nesting
grove, or the condition and composition of the •subcanopy
vegetation .
We are not told what disturbances the nesting herons are subject
to now. We ar•e not told if there are alternate nesting sites in
the local area, in the event that development for the corporate
park should cause abandonment of the heronry. We are not _ told_. why __.
. —the herons established themselves where they have. Were they
perhaps displaced from some known previous site? 'My second hand
information, slightly different from that given in the EIS, is that
• the colony has had progressively increasing numbers of nests — from
3 in 1986' to over 30 in 1990 (S.. Krom, personal communication) .
• That suggests a reasonably secure, undisturbed, and increasingly
important nesting site.
The EIS :Lacks , or is less than precise on , some basic information
concerning the heronry . Where, and on what , do the nesting herons
feed? Do they use the adjacent park and pond site, or do they go
further afield? Feeding locations are determined by the simple .
process of observing the directions of feeding flights, and
following those flights to their sources. The finding of feeding
locations may be simplified by determining what the birds are
eating . That determination is often made by examining foodstuffs
commonly dropped over the sides of active nests . Colonies often •
have more than one feeding area . Have those matters been
investigated? The EIS plans heron flight corridors between
buildings in the corporate park, but it does not indicate that
those corridors are ones that the herons actually use. In fact the
EIS is vague on that point . If the buildings will be in the direct
- and commonly used flight paths of feeding herons, their impact will
i
•
be much greater than if they arc not .
It- would also be useful to see consideration of the elevation of
the heron " s nests in relation to that of the planned buildings . One
would suspect , although I know of no directly confirming data , that
buildings that overlook nests would have a much greater impact than
ones below nest level . We know how high the planned buildings will
be . Relative to them, how high are the nests? Will the roofs of the
buildings have human activity areas?
It is not evident , from the EIS, what configuration for buildings
and parking is most likely in the planned corporate park. The plans
shown in "Appendix B" are not the same as those shown in the main
body of . the work . Considering the huge size of outdoor parking
shown on some of the diagrams, it seems surprising that the authors
did not attempt to analyze the effect of car park activity on
nesting herons . What about night time activity in the corporate
park? Herons may make feeding flights day and night .
The authors have done a commendable job of locating selective
references, particularly from the northwest , that demonstrate that
• herons may maintain colonies despite much environmental
disturbance . Their data show, however, that such colonies are
almost invariably small . The average number of active nests in the
6 colonies shown on their Table B-1 is 18 .6, with. a range from 0 �
to 50. That is about half average colony size for the province of +
British Columbia , and some other venues examined (Kelsall 1989,
Forbes et al . 1985a) .
The instability of such small colonies is demonstrated by the fact -.
that they are short lived. Table B-1 shows no record for any of the
colonies prior to 1985, and the text suggests no significantly
. longer history for any of them. By contrast , large colonies, in
large and secure acreages are known , if only through oral
tradition , to be long lived. For example, a colony of upward to 200
nests in . Tsawwassen , British Columbia, that was destroyed by
logging in 1955; had been at the same forested site since the turn
of the century, and probably long before that . Urban development
forced it to move several times in the next 18 years . It relocated
. about 1973 in a forest of several hundred acres in Point Roberts,
Washington , where it now has +345 active nests per year. Large
colonies are also more productive than small ones, fledging more
young per nest . It is believed that some small colonies might not
• produce enough young to maintain themselves without recruitment
form nearby larger colonies (see Forbes et al . 1985a , Forbs et al .
1985b, Kelsall 1989 , Butler 1989) .
The authors should qualify their repeated use of the Stanley Park
heronry in Vancouver, and the Delta River Inn heronry in Richmond
(not Vancouver) , B . C . as examples of tolerance to vehicular and
human traffic . The Stanley Park colony indeed tolerates much human ,
and some vehicular traffic . However, it should be noted that it has
•
had 60 years of progressively greater disturbance in which to
condition . It has not been remarkably successful despite having
excellent nest trees and room to move around , extensive feeding
habitat , and virtually no avian predation . The Delta River Inn
heronry, in a noisy and busy site , is a real anomaly . however, the
trees involved provide the only feasible nest sites in an extremely
rich feeding area near Vancouver airport . Theoretically there is
room for many nests . In fact , only a few birds (3 nests in 1990)
tenaciously hang on there (Scott Forbes , personal communication) .
That heronry is not viable in the usual sense of the word, and
certainly not something to be emulated at Blackriver.
There are some oddities in the summarized data relating to small
heronries in Table B-3 . First , the distances between human
activities and "Rookeries" ( in my dictionary rookeries are for
rooks , Corvus fugile_gus , although the term is sometimes applied to
places where seals and penguins haul out of the water) are
obviously rough approximations . Curiously, the approximations used
in the table are often different from those used in the
accompanying descriptive text . The discrepancies are sufficiently
frequent and divergent as to make all the given distances suspect .
Stranger still is the status rating given for two of the heronries
in Table L3-1 . What were the criteria by which the Pigeon Point
heronry, that had only 16 nests in 1986, none in 1987 or 1988, and
whose current status is unknown , was judged to be "viable"? Its
viability seems to be most uncertain from the data given . The
Spencer Property heronry, with only 6 nests in 1988 and no
subsequent data , surely has unknown, rather than "viable" , status .
. The authors appear to have selectively ignored a substantial
literature suggesting that persistence of heron nesting in
disturbed sites is an exception rather than a rule. The corporate
park development will certainly impact the adjacent heronry,
perhaps even cause its abandonment , despite suggested safeguards .
Werschkul et al . ( 1976) , whom they cite, observed that heron nests
within 486 ' ( 148 m) of a logging operation were inactive. While
nests 719 ' ( 219. m) from . the logging were active, birds were
shifting nests to the side of the colony distal from the
disturbance . Simpson and Kelsall ( 1978) compared two similar heron
colonies, one severely impacted by development of a housing
subdivision nearby. Toward the end of the breeding season in 1978 ,
88% of nests in the undisturbed colony were active, but only 27%
of those exposed to development were still viable . The disturbed
colony was abandoned by the birds the following year. Corbett et
al . ( 1985) described a classic case where a large heronry of •
perhaps 200 years staridi.ng was abandoned following progressive
human_ intrusion over a period of 30 years . Some of the factors were
construction of a causeway to the island site, progressive
enlargement of encroaching camping and parking facilities and,
finally, confinement of the heronry to unsuitable coniferous forest
where herons killed many nest trees with their excrement before
-- - finally abandoning the site. Examples of herons abandoning nest
6
sites due to disturbance are legion . •
Vos et al . ( 198b) experimentally examined the reaction of nesting
herons to disturbance by humans, and may have produced the most
definitive study to date. They found, and other authors agree, that
herons are less tolerant of disturbance early in the nesting cycle
( i .e. during courtship, nest building, egg laying, and early
incubation ) than they are later in the season . Visibly disturbed
. by an intruder at an average of 560 ' ( 170 m) in March, they
tolerated intrusion to within 165' to 210' (50 to 65 m) for the •
balance of the season . Like most other authors on the subject , Vos •
et al . believed that herons may be considerably disturbed well
before they actually provide overt evidence by flushing from the
. nest . Their recommendations for a buffer zone around heronries was
820 ' (2b0 m) , the greatest distance at which herons were flushed
from the nest by an intruder, plus 164 ' (50 m) as a safety margin .
Most recent recommendations for the protection of heronries suggest
1 ,000 ' ( 300 m) as a zone within which there will be no disturbance
of any sort during the nesting season . The most comprehensive,
recent guidelines., of which I am aware, are those of Bowman . and
Siderius ( 1984) for the Province of Ontario. The, Washington State
Department of Game draft management guidelines fo heronries, cited
, . in the EIS, are alone in recommending a 656' (200 m) buffer zone. ,
- In leaving much to the discretion of biologists _when recommending
. buffer zones, they' forget that few biologists have- experience or
knowledge of the needs of nesting herons. The +340 nest Point
Roberts colony has come perilously close to destruction, and may
• yet go. .because a state biologist apparently did not thoroughly
- investigate existing and planned encroachments on the nesting area - -- -

Literature references
I frequently edit draft manuscripts for technical journals,
including .the journal of Mammalogy, Journal of Wildlife Management , •
Canadian Journal of Zoology, and Wildlife Society Bulletin , and for
book publishers , consulting companies, and the Canadian Wildlife
Service. It is rare, in my experience, to see literature citations
handled as carelessly as they are in Appendix B of the Blackwater
- Corporate Park draft . If a structure is no stronger than its
weakest-link, the Blackwater Corporate Park EIS is hanging by a
thread!

In addition the following anomalies were noted in the "Literature
Cited" . -----
"Short and Co
oper. 1985. " are, given twice .
"Simpson , K. and J .N.M. Webb. 1987. " is not a bona fide reference.
It may be a - confusion of papers published by Webb and Forbes
( 1982 ) , and by Simpson , Smith, and Kelsall ( 1987) given in my
literature citations below.
I may have missed them, but I did not see "fienny and Bethers .
1971 . " or" U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 1987. " cited in the
text .
Some . of, the references given are incompletely cited. Four of the
last five literature references for example, on ' page B-16, provide _
author, date of publication , title, and pagination only. They give
only indirect indications of where they, might .be found, thus
thwartingthe essential purpose of literature, citations,_. which_ is. .. :
. to allow a reader to look things up personally.
Conclusions
Since the developers of the Blackwater Corporate , Park are clearly
playing brinksmanship with the Renton heronry; and possibly with. : •
other ecological values as well, it is reasonable to expect that .
any environmental assessment of the site should be systematic and
comprehensive. Unfortunately, the biological considerations in the
draft Environmental impact Assessment are inadequate and flawed .
They should he upgraded to reasonable professional, standards. For
example, they should be acceptable to a panel of professional .
biologists in relevant fields, using the same sort of. criteria that .
apply to peer-edited technical publications -

SUBJECT: BLACK RIVER CORPORATE PARK, TRACTS A AND B
DRAFT EIS REVIEW COMMENTS
The review of the Draft EIS for Black River Corporate Park, Tracts A and B is complete,
and the comments about it are as follows:
1. In Table 3-7, the method outlined in the 1990 King County Surface Water Design
Manual shall be used to compute these numbers. These numbers will need to be further
documented in the Drainage Report to be submitted during Plan Review.
2. A narrative downstream analysis, with map shall be submitted with a detailed
analysis of the impacts of the construction for downstream.
3. Baffled Oil/water separator(s) will be placed before the stormwater enters any
biofiltration swale, and after the control restrictor manhole. Baffled Oil/water separators
have been shown not to be effective unless the water velocity is less than 1.5 ft./sec.
Calculations to show this shall be provided for the Plan Review phase in the Drainage
report.
4. The downstream release rate shall not exceed the two-year design pre-developed
release rate, as calculated by the SCS or Santa Barbara Hydrograph method (per 1990 King
County Surface Water Design Manual).

Dear Ms. Myer:
Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS
In response to your request for
comments on the Blackriver
Corporate Park Draft Environmental Impact Statement, we are
submitting the following air quality considerations.
The air quality impact analysis section of the DEIS was
generally well written and documented. Unfortunately, there
was an error in determining carbon monoxide concentrations
downwind of the proposed parking garage. It is physically
impossible for natural process to produce ambient
concentrations that would exceed the highest concentration
occurring within the garage. Therefore, this analysis must
be disregarded.
In any respect, based upon the concentrations predicted
within the garage, it is unlikely that the parking garage
traffic will cause violations pf any ambient air quality
standards. This will, of course not be true for traffic on
adjacent roadways.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

P P
for the Blackriver Corporate Park Office Buildings
ECF;SA;SM-071-88 and ECF;SA;SM-109-89
The accompanying Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
identifies the environmental consequences associated with
construction and occupancy of six office buildings and a parking
structure proposed in the Blackriver Corporate Park, located on
Oakesdale Avenue in Renton. The site is currently zoned Office
Park and is divided into two tracts: Tract A and B.
TRACT A
The proposal includes phased construction of three office
buildings ranging in height from one to four stories. These
buildings would provide 183 , 600 square feet of space. Surface
parking would accommodate approximately 800 autos.
The document also analyzes a no action alternative for Tract A.
TRACT B
The proposal includes phased construction of three office
buildings ranging in height from three to seven stories. These
buildings would provide 286,200 square feet of space. Surface
parking would accommodate approximately 500 autos and another 800
stalls would be provided in a three story parking structure.
The document also analyzes two additional alternatives for tract
B: a single seven story building and no action.
IMPACTS
The following impacts are addressed in the DEIS: earth, air
quality, surface water and water quality, vegetation, wildlife
resources, unique terrestrial resources (great blue heron) ,
noise, land and shoreline use, light and glare, and parks and
recreation. The DEIS identifies a variety of mitigation
measures.

SUBJECT : Heron Rookery Monitoring Report, Black River Corporate
Park, Renton, Washington
Dear Kathy:
On February 14, 1989, the rookery was visited and monitored
for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Extended monitoring was conducted
because of the increased activity in the nests in the area and
in the rookery trees surrounding the nests. There were a total
of 21 birds in the rookery with 8 nests having 2 birds and 5
nests having a single bird occupying or working (on) the nests.
An additional 6 birds were located in the pond or in the
trees next to the pond.
The areas north and east of the rookery along the slope of
the bluff and the railroad tracks were examined to determine if
the birds were using these areas. During the monitoring period
(i.e. , 1 hour, 45 minutes) no birds entered or left the rookery.
The monitoring was conducted from 2 :00 p.m. to 3 :45 p.m. under
overcast skies with good visibility.
4 February 21, 1990 the site was visited by Rex Van Wormer
and Reid Storre at 4 :00 p.m. and was monitored until 5 :15 p.m.
i � There are 31 herons in the rookery, with 18 of the 24 nests on
the,:s:site being utilized. Of the nests, 12 have 2 birds, on or
•'"_,P work`-' ng the-nests. The majority of the nest repair was
' comp.leted''with little or no continuation of the display activity
that,, was present on February 14, 1990. A single bird at the
ou.ter:',;edge d'f the ,trees slid not appear to interacting with any
fzthe':. remaining bards. There was only�.l—bird in the pond and
f 6
•
Renton Heron Rookery
February 26, 1990
no birds on any of the typical offsite roosting areas where
birds were observed earlier in the year. The birds appeared to
be starting full nesting activity.
During both of the February monitoring periods) two people
were used in an effort to evaluate the effects of activities
(either at the developed portions of the area, traffic, or the
existing construction) on birds doing pre-nesting activity.
Within the limitations of our survey (i.e. , 3 hours over a
two-day period) , we were unable to see any affects of noises in
any of these areas on the behavior of the activity of the birds.
Regardless of the noise , truck passage, or other activities
taking place surrounding them including traffic on the railroad
on February 14, 1900, the birds did not appear to be affected.
There was no evidence of unusual movement (explosive flights
from the rookery or other visible activities) that would
indicate an effect. Because of the distance, the timing, and
the manner of our observations, we could not state unequivocally
that some minor effects were not occurring . However, the
responses and the activities on the nests are consistent of the
activities observed over the past 2 years during construction of
Oaksdale Road, logging activity, and the building construction.
In both of these years , the birds continued to have
successful nesting seasons , with a higher nest survival rate
than is recorded as typical in great blue heron rookeries
throughout the United States.
Our conclusion is based on the assumptions that if the
activities taking prlace were having a significant negative
impact on the rookery, the colony would not have expanded from 8
to 24 nests over a 3-year period. The nest utilization is 95 -
100 percent with an average brood size greater than 3 .2 young
per nest. Our conclusion regarding the effects of disturbance
on this rookery is based on our surveys of this rookery, of the
Auburn rookery, and of the Smith-Bybee Lake rookery in Portland,
2
Renton Heron Rookery
February 26 , 1990
Oregon over the past 3 years. This conclusion is supported by
unpublished annual reports of the Oregon Department of Fish and
it
Wildlife and the Smith-Bybee Lake rookery.
Our conclusion is:
Urban rookeries and urban-raised birds react differently
and do not appear to be as subject to human disturbance as
reports of rural undisturbed rookeries were reported in the
literature in the 1970 ' s.
Monitoring will be continued through the April 1, 1990. At
this time, the formal monitoring for Schumann Development will
be discontinued. Monitoring of the rookery will be continued by
IES Associates as an independent study.
This concludes the February report of heron rookery
activity, Black River Corporate Park, Renton, Washington.

RE: FPS-09-13875- First City
Dear Ben;
We have previoulsy provided you with the requested heron and
raptor appraisal study furnished by the applicant to
complete the existing SEPA checklist information. This
report satisfies our request made on December 22 , 1989.
Agencies and affected/interested parties have received
copies and their opinions have been solicited. Steve
Penland stated that the Department of Wildlife has no
comment.
Even though other reviewers have disagreed with the report's
conclusion regarding heron, hawk and owl utilization of the
site, it is our recommendation that this FPA be approved for
phase or 8 acres (see attached FPA application submitted
by the applicant) subject to the two conditions stated
below. It is our intention to seek resolution of these
wildlife issues at the next stage of development when a new
SEPA checklist will be triggered by the next Class IV
conversion application. Some form of habitat mitigation may
be determined to be appropriate at that stage.
During the review of this project, the Muckleshoot Tribe
commented on the possibility(letter dated November 2 , 1989)
that cultural resources could be uncovered during site
preparation and that steps be taken to mitigate that
situation. We believe that this is a legitimate concern
that should be reflected in a permit condition. We
recommend that a qualified archaeologist be retained to
observe all stages of grading and excavation. Should any
cultural resources be identified, work should be suspended
in the area to allow time for a survey. The Muckleshoot
Tribe should be given the opportunity to approve of the
choice of archaeologist and all of these expenses should be
borne by the applicant.
In regards to vegetation removal, King County recommends
that approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of an acre of trees in the
extreme SE corner of the site be preserved and made into a
native growth protection easement. This area, defined as
the land at and below the 270 contour interval, is not
within the construction limits of the approved structures.
It also is the most attractive for bird utilization as it
provides an outer peripheral tree line as described in
Conclusion #7, page 10 of the consultant report. These
trees also abut remaining trees on the adjacent developed
property to the east. To enhance this habitat area we also
recommend that the applicant plant three foot high Douglas
fir seedlings in the extreme SE corner to fill an empty
space and provide 10 by 10 spacing of trees.
I have attempted to contact the owner's representative to
discuss the basis of these recommendations but have been
unsuccessful this week. For more information please contact _
me Tuesday or Wednesday at 296-0161.

SUBJECT : Heron Rookery Monitoring.
Dear Janet:
On February 2, 1990, the heron rookery at the Black River
Corporate Park, located on the P-1 Canal , was monitored for the
fifth time since January 15 , 1990 . The monitoring datum is as
follows:
January 15 , 1990. Time: 3 :35 pm. High clouds, no rain,
visibility good. There were 5 adult birds in the rookery tree
and 14 birds along the pond. None of the birds are paired.
There is no apparent nest construction activity. When flushed
by a helicopter, the birds flew northeast to the alder trees
along the north side of the railroad track. After 30 minutes,
no birds had returned. Monitoring was discontinued. Observers:
Rex Van Wormer and Diane Robbins.
January 18 , 1990 . Time : 9 : 45 am. Visibility good.
Rookery tree photographed. There were 3 adult birds in the
rookery tree and 9 on the ground along the north side of the
pond . There was no indication of nest construction or pre-
, -breeding displays . After 15 minutes , one bird left the
roolcery. Over the next 15 minutes , the two remaining birds
'moved in and,.. out of nest number 3 in the northern most tree and
-nest,,number 14 in the southern most tree. Monitoring terminated
,a\f:tec =..45•'.;minutes. Observer: Reid Storre.

Heron Rookery
January 31, 1990
January 23, 1990. Time: 4:15 pm. Visibility fair. There
were 15 birds on the site. During a 45 minute period, 5 birds
remained in the rookery tree. Four of the remaining 10 birds
flew in and out of the tree. None of the birds appeared to be
tending nests . For the first time , there were two birds
together. One bird remained on nest number 14 , while a second
moved around the perimeter of the nest. On this day, we also
monitored the Auburn rookery. There were 3 birds in that
rookery;. Observers: Rex Van Wormer and Diane Robbins.
January 29, 1990. Time: 1:35 pm. Visibility good. There
were 17 birds on the site. Eight birds were either in the
rookery tree for the full duration of the site visit or moved in
and out of the. tree. This was the first time we have observed
nest mending activities . There were 2 birds on two nests,
however, neither was nest number 14. Six of the remaining birds
remained perched in the lower limbs of the large cottonwood
trees at the northwestern end of the pond. The remaining 3
remained motionless along the waters edge. The general area was
examined for other adult herons . There were 3 birds in the
alders north of the railroad track approximately 900 feet east
of the Black River site. Observer: Rex Van Wormer.
February 2 , 1990. Time: 11:08 am. High clouds, light
rain. There were 16 birds in the rookery. The birds were
concentrated in the southern most tree with at least 3 nests
having 2 birds on the nest. The remainder of the birds are
setting out on the outer branches away from the nests. No other
adult birds were seen in the vicinity. The birds were observed
for approximately 50 minutes form the barricade west of the
rookery. The birds on the nests were not actively mending the
nests nor displaying to each other. Two birds flew out and then
back into the rookery, but did not enter a nest. Observers :
Rex Van Wormer and Diane Robbins.
The Auburn rookery was also monitored on February 2. There
were 11 birds in the rookery, but none were paired, actively
mending nests , or displaying . A call was made to Oregon
2
Heron Rookery
January 31, 1990
Department of Wildlife regarding the, Smith-Bybee Lake area
rookery. On January 31, 1990 , they monitored that rookery.
There were 4 birds in the rookery, however, none were paired or
using the nests.
Based on the monitoring results of the Black River rookery
and the Auburn rookery, it appears that the birds are from two
to three weeks from starting any serious nesting or pre-nesting
breeding activities. The activity on February 2nd, is typical
of the type of activity that occurred in the first and second
weeks of February 1989. Serious nesting and pre-nesting display
activities started in mid to late February last year with the
initiation of nast bonding• after the leaves started to grow
around March 1 , 1989. This timing also corresponds . to 1988 ,
when all of the nests in the rookery were not full until the
second week of March.
On January 28, 1990 and Feb 2, 1990 , additional time was
spent between the ongoing construction site and the rookery. We
were unable to notice any change in bird stances or activities
during construction when trucks or cars entered or left the
existing development, when an airplane flew over within 100 feet
of the top of the tree, when a train was connecting cars, or
when blasting occurred in the rookery to the northwest. Earlier
in the year, a helicopter flying close to the rookery did flush
the birds from the area. They flew northeast to an area within
300 feet of the ongoing construction and in view of the new
building . The birds remained in this area, apparently
undisturbed by the activity surrounding the building, since they
were still in this area when monitoring was discontinued.
Conclusions:
Nesting appears to be progressing on the same time table as
in years 1988 and 1989 . In both of these years nesting did not
start until early March.
3 •
Heron Rookery
January 31, 1990
As of February 2 , 1990 , there were only three of 25 nests
being visited by more than one bird at a time. There was only
limited nest mending and no display activity between January 15
and Feb. 2.
Concentrated pre-nesting bonding or nesting appears to be
two to three weeks away.

RE: BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK PHASE VII
EIS , .
Dear Don:
Today I received a copy of the letter dated December 26 , 1989
from Jonathon Ives to yourself amending the contract services to
the above referenced EIS. Included in that letter is a revised
proposed schedule for the Blackriver Corporate Park Phase VII
EIS.
In a nut shell, I find this schedule to be unacceptable. Your
consultants are now proposing a final EIS issuance around June
25, 1990, which is a full seven ( 7) months beyond the original
targeted date. I request a meeting be set up immediately
between yourself, Jones & Stokes, and First City to discuss why
the latest proposal is for such an additional length of time.
When we met in October, 1989 and agreed to hold our Phase VIII
application and to include a broader scope on the Phase VII EIS,
it was basically with the understanding that we would be
extending the process approximately sixty days. I can see no
reason this process should now take as long as indicated in this
current schedule.
I again, request a meeting immediately with all parties
concerned to see what can be done to shorten the time frame. I
await your reply.
Very truly yours,

RE: BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK PHASE VII
EIS
Dear Don:
I am writing to express my concern about the continued delay in
issuance of the draft E.I.S. for the above referenced project.
Even though we agreed the first of October to encompass a larger
scope of work by including your Phase VIII application as part
of this E.I .S. , it was with the understanding that the draft
E.I .S. would be published before the end of 1989. It is
apparent that that date will not be achieved. Now, very
recently, I have been made aware of the fact that you have
requested additional information in the E.I .S. relative to the
seismic and geology issues related to the Blackriver site. As I
expressed to you on the phone, I have no trouble with you
requesting this information, but I feel that it is inappropriate
to do that in an E.I.S. , but rather it should be done during the
building permit process. Don, the point is that it is time to
get on with the publishing of this document. I would like your
department to give me the anticipated date that we can expect
the draft E.I .S. to be published, followed by the commitment and
effort on everyone' s part to meet that date. I await your
reply.

Re: Black River Corporate Park Phase VII Scoping Comments
Dear Mr. Erickson:
This office represents the Rebound Program of the Seattle
Building and Construction Trades Council . Rebound is concerned
about prevailing wage, job safety, and environmentally sound
building practices within the boundaries of our members '
working and living environment.
We have reviewed the Black River Corporate Park, Phase VII
office building proposed adjacent to the P-1 Detention Pond.
Building Trades believes that this large development project
presents significant economic and environmental issues of
concern to our members and to the community. The following
impacts should be addressed in the environmental impact
statement (EIS) .
Wildlife
The project is next to a heron rookery which is a unique and
valuable natural resource . Thus the impacts to the rookery
should be carefully analyzed . First, an extensive inventory
should be conducted. The City should determine its use by
herons and its regional importance. Then impacts can be
predicted.
The city should concentrate on a variety of mitigation measures
to protect the rookery. Most important, a large buffer should
be required . Resource agencies have previously recommended a
buffer ranging from 600 to 1000 feet around the rookery, as
well as 200 feet around all other wetlands. Vegetation should
be left in the buffer, and no filling should be proposed within
it . The buffer should be fenced . In addition, the proposed
building should be shaped and sited to act as a buffer itself,
with a design to eliminate noise and glare . Finally, the City
should ensure that construction would not occur during the
nesting season.
Fish "
Fishery resources of Springbook Creek and other water bodies
should be investigated and documented. The salmon runs in the
Green River tributary system are already critically and
severely depressed. The City should evaluate the impacts to
these salmon runs and spawning habitat.
Water Quality
Runoff from the project should be quantified. The city next
should determine its pollutant load, and predict the impacts to
the receiving water. Surface water controls should be proposed
as mitigation. The city should also investigate the
groundwater hydrology and any connection to the wetlands.
Wetlands
The City should conduct a thorough inventory of any wetlands on
the site, including areas of the property proposed for
parking. If any wetlands are found on the site, impacts should
be addressed. The City should evaluate alternative designs and
sites that would avoid any filling of the wetlands.
Archaeology
The proposed site could contain historical and cultural
resources of importance to the Muckleshoot Tribe. The EIS
should discuss these. Consultation with the Tribe is
recommended .
Traffic
The city should analyze traffic impacts at nearby roads and
intersections . Any decrease in level of service should be
determined, as should any increase in delay times at
intersections .
Cumulative Impacts
The proposed office building is part of a larger corporate park
yet to be completed. The city should determine the cumulative
impacts from all projects proposed in the vicinity. This is
particularly important for the heron rookery, which could be
encircled by office buildings.
Economics
The construction of a large project does affect the local
economy. Such effects are determined by who is hired and how
much they are paid. The City should identify whether workers
would come from the local community, and if they would be paid
prevailing wages. The analysis should include both
construction workers and permanent employees .
The City of Renton next should examine whether the local
community would receive the economic benefits . That is,
determine the likelihood of the wages returning to the area
through retail purchases, housing, and taxes .

1111,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the scope of the
project. We look forward to reviewing the draft EIS.

Dear Steve,
According to the understanding we reached over the phone on
November 1, King County will process your Class IV General
Conversion permit using the existing checklist to satisfy our.
SEPA requirements provided that (1) you reduce the scope of your'
clearing to Phase I or 8 acres (you have yet to revise your FPA
application to reflect the smaller acreage) and (2) you respond
to our request for a raptor and heron appraisal outlined below.
SCOPE OF RAPTOR AND HERON APPRAISAL
I.
The effects of tree removal will be discussed in relation to:
1. Primary and secondary cavity nesting bird habitat on site or
near the site on the adjacent hillside.
2 . Raptor habitat (specifically Red tailed hawk and Great Horned
Owl consisting of nesting, resting and foraging activities on
site - or near the site on the adjacent hillside.
3 . Heron habitat consisting of nesting, resting, foraging,
breeding activities on site or near the site including the
hillside and existing rookery.
4 . Wind currents and how alterations would effect raptor and
heron flight patterns .
I -
1
This request is based on new information which has been provided
by permit reviewers and which was not provided originally in part
5a. of the SEPA checklist. We recommend that you retain a
qualified wildlife consultant to perform this work. Recent birds
sightings will be forwarded separately to you for your
information. We are already in receipt of your study from Rex
Van Wormer of IES Associates dated August 2 , 1988
In order to provide a complete picture of your proposal, I
request that you estimate the volume of trees, species and age
classes to be removed. This information did not appear in your
SEPA checklist or on your Forest Practices Application.
The immediate area in which your proposal is located has a high
density of known archaeological sites which were occupied by
Muckleshoot Tribal ancestors. Therefore King County will
recommend special measures to protect these resources.
After we review this information we will determine what
conditions, if any, to recommend to the Department of Natural
Resources. There have been several agencies, groups and
individuals that have expressed concern over clearing on this
property. Interested people will be given the opportunity to
make timely comments on the appraisal.
We are aware of the significant investment in time First City has
made to obtain related King County permits and that your are
anxious to begin site work. We are making a good faith effort
to facilitate the processing and evaluation of this permit as
soon as possible.

RE: Draft Black River EIS - Phase VII
Dear Jeannette:
Thank you for sending us the above referenced DEIS to review. There was
some initial confusion here, at first we thought the preliminary DEIS
referred to the entire Black River site, including the area north of the
Forebay pond. We assume that this document is only referring to Parcel A
and B south of the pond and our comments are restricted only to these
parcels. However, we would like to note, as we have stated before, that the
prior 1981 DEIS/EIS done on the north part of the site would need updating
before development can be considered for the northern portion of the site.
From field visits and discussions with Jones and Stokes, consultants, it
appears that the wetland that is being referred to ("1.1 acre" , etc. p.
3-14) is probably accurately defined and delineated. However:
1. There is no map showing the delineated wetland or wetland delineation
forms;
2. There is no discussion of the wetland delineation methodology used.
These two items need to be included in the document before it is released,
as other agencies and groups will be interested.
We would recommend that the wetland be shown on each of the maps of the
alternatives (Figures 2-6,2-7) . Presumably Tract A (Figure 2-2) has no
wetlands on site.
Do Figures 2-3,2-4, and 2-5 refer to alternative B-1? This is not clear.
We also had the following recommendations:
1. We would not favor any of the alternatives that would require filling of
the wetland. Therefore, we would not favor alternative B1.
2. We recommend a minimum buffer of 50' around the wetlands.
-day-3
A a
Ms. Samek-McKague
November 3, 1989
Page 2
3. We recommend that biofiltration swales be used before discharge of any
stormwater to the wetland, and preferably discharge to the existing
swale that forms the northern border to parcel B.
4. The wetland could possibly be enhanced as a mitigative measure to
enhance wildlife habitat. We would be happy to discuss desirable
enhancement techniques and education/information display options with
you.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment, Jeannette. We apologize for the
delay in our response.

Dear Don:
Per your letter of 9 October 1989 to Mark Miller of First City Developments
Corporation, we are dismayed with the comments and questions raised, in
particular after our meeting with yourself and the City on the E. I.S. for
Tract A and Phase VII.
Per the list of questions in your letter:
1. This proposal is well outside any setbacks or parameters considered in
Phase VII E.I.S. We are well outside those parameters and any others
that might have been referenced. This is also referenced in the
checklist submitted to the city.
2. The phasing sequence is noted in the checklist and on the drawings - the
A Building to the west is the first phase, and there is no reference or
hint of a third phase (and any future developments require submittals for
action) .
3. A short plat is not concurrent with this proposal and has no effect on
site plan submittal at this time.
4. Future development on the Tract A site is obvious and stated as a fact in
the checklist. This requires a separate submittal and action by the
city, per your comments in the letter.
Please note this development is on Burlington Northern property and not Tract
A and is on land filled by the City of Renton under their own actions.
We see no reason why this application cannot be processed and suggest you
personally review the submittal and confer with the city attorney. The
submittal is not premature, has no history or overtones of environmental
significance, and is being unjustly stopped by the staff of the City of
Renton.

RE: Submittal for Blackriver Corporate Park, Phase VIII
File SA-109-89
•
Dear Mr. Miller:
•
Recently our staff reviewed the submittal for Phase VIII of the Black River Corporate
Park. As you are aware, the subject property for this project is included and is
currently being evaluated for the establishment of development parameters under the
Blackriver Corporate Park Phase VII EIS.
Many questions were raised at our meeting regarding the project including: Is this
proposal in keeping with the setbacks and parameters being considered in the Phase VII
• EIS?; what is the phasing sequencing being proposed and whether there is actually a
third phase; whether there will be an application to short plat the property to create two
lots?; and whether there are any plans for the future development of the remainder of
the site? Further, future development projects for this site will require the submittal of
an environmental checklist since the EIS is merely reviewing development on Tract "A"
in a generic sense in order establish development parameters for future projects on this
parcel.
Therefore, due to the fact that the EIS is still under preparation for Phase VII and due
to the fact that the proposal raises several questions with respect to the actual project
and with respect to the relationship between the project and the Phase VII EIS currently
being prepared, I have determined that the application is premature until after the EIS
has been adopted by the City. You may pick up the application package, except for one
copy for our records, at our office. A refund check will be sent to you as soon as we
are able to make the appropriate arrangements with our Finance Department.
Please call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this decision at 235-

HISTORICAL DESIGN NARRATIVE
January 9, 1991 FEB 2 1 1991
BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK
t
PHASE VII TRACT B (SA;SM-071-88)
NW 88041
Tract B site plan approval was originally submitted in August 1988 and was a
two-winged 286,000 square foot seven-story office facility situated on the
northwest corner of the property. The building was sited as a permanent
buffer between the development and the heron rookery. The site plan included
surface parking and filling of the old portion of the Blackriver Channel per
the original Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in 1981. The original sub-
mittal was declared environmentally significant because of the relation to the
heron rookery (which is not on this property but to the north on property ded-
icated by First City for a preserve and the P-1 detention basin) . A new EIS
for the property was started.
Preliminary data and comments from the city staff and the EIS consultant rec-
ommended relocating the building further away from the heron rookery per the
bubble diagrams provided by the city. The building was relocated to the
south, with a parking structure utilized as a buffer and to accommodate the
parking due to the lost land for additional buffering and habitat for the
rookery. Alternate B-2 reflects this submittal in the final impact statement
and as B-3 in the earlier July 1989 draft impact statement. Alternate B-1 per
city recommendations, reduced the size of the building into three buildings:
a seven-story, three-story and four-story with a parking structure.
Alternate B-1 evolved per staff and public draft EIS comments into a seven-
story building on the east side of Tract B, a four-story building to the west
of the seven-story, and a three story to the west of the four-story building,
with structured parking as a buffer with a blank wall facing the rookery. The
setbacks from the rookery were increased from 400 feet to 600 feet, with an
additional 10 foot high berm and 20 foot high evergreen trees to supplement
the open habitat buffer at the edge of the new setback from the heron rookery.
Per city recommendations, this evolved into the current submittal which
reduced the height of the seven-story by transferring area to the four and
three-story buildings, resulting in the initial 286,0000 square feet in two
five-story buildings and a one four-story building with a structured parking
garage.
Significant impact and variations recommended by staff and EIS consultant have
resulted in a concentrated, expensive development with structured parking on a
small portion of the land originally zoned for office to maintain the same
amount of buildable square footage. The increased rookery setbacks, addi-
tional reserve and buffer areas forced development on a small , condensed por-
tion of the site. The increased architectural land use restraints, increase
in buffers and preserved habitats (directed by City of Renton and the EIS con-
sultant) substantially buffer the development from the heron rookery.
Buildings are designed with earth tone colors, hoods or overhangs on the rook-
ery side above the thirty foot height level , and within 750 feet of the rook-
ery. Tinted glass is utilized versus reflected glass, except at the main
entry points to the building which face away from the rookery.
The property for Oakesdale Avenue S.W. and S.W. 7th Street was dedicated by
First City and were improved, including utilities with the majority partici-
pant being First City (in order to develop these properties) . Density of
development is well under the traffic proposed to be generated in the Trans-
portation Studies. First City funded the study as well as the L. I.D. with the
understanding that traffic and L.I.D. assessments for specific projects would
be offset against these costs or to the point the assessments exceeded L. I.D.
costs.

Dear Jeannette:
Per our meeting with you, Mark Miller and Jonathan Ives on 20 October, we have
enclosed Phase VIII revised, Phase VII as revised and reviewed that day, and a
project specific for Tract A, so the E. I.S. scope can be redefined. The
E. I.S. draft would encompass Phase VIII (Burlington Northern Property) , per
your recommendation, and Tract A.
The phasing for buildings with areas of allocated parking and development per
phase is noted on the sketches.
If you have any questions, please call myself or Mark Miller.

Subject: FYI -- Water level in the P1 Pond (Renton Heron
Rookery)
For those of you who do not know me, I am the new volunteer who
is overseeing the Renton Heron Rookery ( I stepped in when Shelly
Anderson moved out of the area) . Because of concern expressed
about the water level in the P1 Pond, I requested a statement
from Ivan Lines , the original planner for the pond, to establish
the correct water level and learn the rationale.
Briefly, according to Mr. Lines :
o The proper water level is dependant on the season:
winter 0. 0 feet, summer 2. 0 feet (the forebay elevations can
be found in an operation and maintenance manual for the pump
plant) .
o Rationale: Islands are designed for waterfowl use and the
low flow channel is for fish passage.
Summer drawdown period creates mudflats for wading birds and
allwos for the development of emergent marshy areas .
Recreates riparian habitat along the channel upstream of the
forebay. Willows, iris , and other riparian-type plants have
been planted at the water's edge. The success of these
plantings is dependent on maintenance of the established
water levels .
A copy of Mr. Lines letter is attached. Please include me on any
mailing lists that have to do with the rookery site. Also, if
you need volunteers to appear at hearings , etc. , call me at the
appropriate number below .

Dear Ms . Krom,
The elevations of the P1 pump plant forebay were agreed to
by the Soil Conservation Service , King County , City of
Renton and other sponsors of the East-side Green River
Watershed Project prior to building the pump plant in the
early 1970 ' s . The elevations that were established at that
time , 0.0 feet during the summer months and 2 .0 feet during
the winter months, are necessary to successfully operate the
pump plant and upstream channel system for flood control
purposes . The forebay elevations are specified in an
operation and maintenance manual for the pump plant which
also covers all of the other operation and maintenance
procedures .
When the upper portion of the forebay was constructed we
included several islands for waterfowl use and a low flow
channel to provide for fish passage . These features were
designed with the concurrence of the sponsors, the
Departments of Fisheries and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service . The seasonal change in forebay elevations
was a primary consideration when we designed the low flow
channel and moats around the islands . The summer drawdown
period creates mud flats for wading birds and allows the
development of emergent marsh in portions of the forebay.
We are also re-creating riparian habitat along the channel
upstream of the forebay . Hundreds of riparian-type plants
have been planted along the channel with many such as
willows and iris planted at the waters edge . The growth and
survival of these plants is dependent upon maintaining the
agreed-to forebay elevation. If the forebay is kept either
too high or too low during the growing season many of our
plants will be killed .
I believe that the design and operation of the forebay , in
conjunction with the project sponsors , has been highly
• successful . The population of the heron rookery has
increased from a few nesting birds prior to the project to a
present population of 60 to 70. Waterfowl are so abundant
s- -
in the forebay that we initially had difficulty establishing
grass/ legume seedings on the islands .
Sincerely ,
Ivan Lines , C.W.B.

Dear Mr. Erickson:
As Metro staff has discussed with you, this letter contains
our supplemental comments on the scope of the EIS for this
project. We originally provided comments on the project in
a December 5, 1988 letter to you.
Public Transportation
The environmental checklist for the project references a
Transportation Management Plan (TMP) (see item B. 14 .g, page
13) . Metro recommends that, as part of the scope of the
EIS, the project proponent be required to evaluate the
impacts of that TMP. Based on that evaluation the City of
Renton can then require appropriate revisions to the TMP to
mitigate expected traffic impacts of Phase VII through
Transportation System Management actions.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide additional comments
on this project.

Dear Mr. Miller:
This letter is to inform you that the Environmental Review
Committee completed their review of the environmental
impacts of your Site Plan approval request for property
located north of SW 7th Street and Oakesdale Avenue SW and
west of Naches Avenue SW and east of the P-1 Channel. The
Committee on November 16, 1988 decided toissue. a
Determination of Significance because of unanswered
questions regarding the following impacts of the proposed
development on: ground hydrology and nearby wetlands; water
quality, particularly in regard to the capacity of the
existing drainage ditch to handle runoff from the site as
well as that of the plus or minus thirty (30) acres of
impervious surfaces to the southeast of the site; flora and
fauna, particularly in regard to the Heron and other
waterfowl in the area and sources of food for these species
whether plant or animal; light, glare, and noise as it
potentially affects wildlife species; and traffic impacts.
Because the Environmental Review -Committee issued a
Determination of Significance, an official scoping notice is
being circulated. There is a twenty-one (21) day comment
period during which comments are solicited from Various
agencies, jurisdictions or individuals who may have an
interest in the Committee' s decision. The comment period
will end December 12 , 1988 . Following the end of the
comment period, the City will finalize it' s selection of
appropriate consulting firms to prepare the required.
Environmental Impact Statement on the project and coordinate
the final selection with the applicant.

Dean Erickson, First City (FAX 382-9752)
From: Clay Patmont, Hart Crowser, Inc.
Date: July 18, 1991
Subject: Response to Gail Colburn's June 10, 1991 letter to City of Renton
regarding cleanup of hazardous substances at Black River Corporate Park,
Tract A.
Job No.: J-3276
Gail Colburn's letter described some perceived inaccuracies in the final EIS for the
project, and also presented additional comments pertaining to the mitigation
document. Both sets of comments were based on application of the Washington
State Model Toxics Control Act (Chapter 173-340 WAC) to Tract A. Briefly, her
comments center around two issues: 1) appropriate cleanup standards; and 2)
selection of cleanup remedies. Both of these issues are addressed below.
Cleanup Standards. We concur with her comment that maximum concentrations of
cadmium, chromium, zinc, and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), as well as nickel,
exceed preliminary MTCA cleanup standards. The preliminary standards in this case
are based on tabularized Method A values, if available, supplemented with Method B
standards derived using preliminary worst-case "default" assumptions. Both the
Method A and Method B preliminary standards are based on reasonable maximum
exposures anticipated under residential settings, and consider direct soil contact, dust
emission and inhalation, plant protection, wildlife protection, and groundwater
protection. The most restrictive of these potential exposure pathways forms the basis
for the preliminary standards.

MEMORANDUM J-3276
July 19, 1991 Page 2
As discussed in our June, 1991 Site Characterization report, a consideration of
statistical compliance provisions of the MTCA (WAC 173-340-740[7]) reveals that
only the concentrations of cadmium present at the site exceed the Method A cleanup
standard of 2 parts-per-million (ppm). Even though the maximum concentrations of
the other chemicals slightly exceeded the preliminary standards, the overall
concentrations present at the site are nevertheless sufficiently low to demonstrate
compliance with the MTCA standards.
The Method A standard for cadmium (2 ppm) was based on Ecology's worst-case
analysis of plant protection requirements. However, a more detailed site-specific
Method B analysis indicates that plants within the area of cadmium contamination are
not adversely affected by existing cadmium levels. In fact, all "surface" risks posed by
cadmium present in site soils (e.g., due to direct soil contact, dust inhalation, plant
protection, and wildlife protection) are well below MTCA (and EPA) risk targets.
The only potential concern identified with hazardous substances present at Tract A,
based on an MTCA (Method B) cleanup standard analysis, is protection of local
groundwater to support possible future use as drinking water. However, no such use
of local groundwaters presently occurs. Based on leaching test results and MTCA
procedures, a cadmium cleanup standard of approximately 7.5 ppm can be derived
which is protective of groundwater supplies. Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 cubic yards
of soil at the site exceeds this standard. It should be noted, however, that -
degradation of the local groundwater system has not been documented. The
groundwater protection analysis and associated cleanup standard in this case thus
represents a worst-case condition.
Cleanup Remedy Selection. Ecology's preferences for cleanup technologies, as
reiterated in Gail's letter, were discussed in considerable detail during our prior May
15, 1991 meeting with Ecology. The top priority technology, reuse or recycling, is not
feasible. The second priority, destruction or detoxification, is still in the research and
development stage for treatment of low-level cadmium soils, and is by no means a
proven technology at this point. Preliminary evaluations of this technology also
indicate a very high cost. Soil treatment is likely infeasible, and certainly
impracticable at this site. The third priority, which involves separation followed by
reuse, recycling, destruction, or detoxification, is likewise not feasible.
A
LI
MEMORANDUM J-3276
July 19, 1991 Page 3
Immobilization, or stabilization, of soil is the highest preferred technology which is
technically feasible to implement at this site, though the practicability of this
technology is questionable (see below). Since the next priority technology, off-site
disposal, is associated with a higher cost than stabilization, this technology would not
be retained for further consideration under a MTCA feasibility study. The next
(sixth) priority technology is capping, which has generally been accepted as a
minimum condition of this project. Finally, the lowest priority technology is
institutional controls.
The cleanup remedy analysis in this case thus boils down to a comparative evaluation
of stabilization versus capping, consistent with MTCA requirements. Selection
between these two alternatives was discussed during our previous meeting with
Ecology, and it was generally agreed during that discussion that the stabilization
alternative could be ruled out because of impracticability. The basis for this
determination is summarized below:
o The site poses no human health or ecological risk under its current
configuration and use, and would not pose any "surface" risk under
hypothetical future worst-case site use conditions;
o Leachate generated from the contaminated soils must migrate through
approximately 10 feet of low permeable silts and clays before reaching the first
saturated groundwater zone which could potentially be used for water supply
(and where MTCA groundwater cleanup standards would apply). It is likely
that cadmium concentrations would be attenuated to harmless levels during
such transport;
o The receptor of potential groundwater migration of cadmium from the site
(the P-1 Pond) contains cadmium concentrations which are equivalent to those
potentially present in groundwaters on-site. The net environmental protection
resulting from soil cleanup, therefore, is minimal. The source of the on-site
cadmium contamination also originated in the P-1 Pond sediments;
o The cost of soil stabilization at Tract A is approximately 6 to 9 times higher
than an impermeable cap, though potential cadmium releases resulting from
both alternatives are similar; and
a'
MEMORANDUM J-3276
July 19, 1991 Page 4
o Selection of a cap to remediate hazardous substance risks at this site is
consistent with Ecology's decisions at other similar sites
Even though capping would likely be the preferred technology for cleanup, Ecology
stated that it may be prudent not to locate buildings and structures over the
contaminated area so as not to preclude any future actions. If this condition results
in a substantial increase in project costs, it may be advisable to consider stabilization
of the soils, since this remedy would be the obvious highest preference technology.
Construction could then occur without further restriction.

Re: Blackriver Corporate Park -- Errata Request and Interpretation
Dear Don: .
As we discussed on the phone earlier this week, I am herewith submitting my request
for zoning code changes in the City's Errata process. The Errata changes agreed upon are to
add as administrative conditional uses outdoor storage, and the ability to waive the 33% limit
on parking garages and accessory indoor storage if impacts are appropriately dealt with. We
also agreed upon the addition of interior storage which is a part of a mixed use office/light
industrial complex as a permitted secondary use.
If these changes are made through the Errata process, then your draft code
interpretation can be revised to deal solely with warehousing, product servicing and
wholesaling, and then reissued. Your draft interpretation indicates that these uses would be
within the definition of uses currently allowed under the code and we concur with this.
As I mentioned, I have spoken with both Larry Warren and Kay Shoudy who concur
with your running these changes through the errata process on behalf of the City of Renton.
The only remaining issue is the matter of the "existing use" provision which we
understood the City was going to be putting into the code to generally vest property with
existing site plan approvals or extensions thereof. We agreed with Larry and Kay at our
meeting that such an "existing use" provision would allow vesting to the prior OP zoning for
the existing site plan approvals for the Blackriver Corporate Park and any extensions thereof,
as well as any application for the same or a similar site plan made prior to the lapse of an
approved site plan. If this "existing use" section has not been put in the code, we also
request that this be done through the Errata process. I have proposed some language to be
Mr. Don Erickson - 2 - July 22, 1993
added to the code in my May 11 letter, Section 2 (see attached), and reiterated this on the
Errata request form.
We appreciate your assistance. Please let me know if there are additional things we
need to do to assist with the Errata process or any meetings we should attend. We may also
need to discuss the provision for "grandfathering" site plan approvals. If you have any
questions, please give me a call.
Very truly yours,

Re: Follow Up to May 5 Meeting re: Blackriver Corporate Park
Dear Mary Lynne:
This letter is in followup to our meeting of May 5 with you, Kay, Larry, Jay and the
Mayor, to finalize the approach regarding several zoning issues raised by the City's proposed
CO zoning. In accordance with Larry Warren's memo of May 3, 1993, as refined by our
discussion at the meeting, my understanding of how we will resolve matters is.as follows:
1) The proposed RC zoning on the Blackriver Corporate parcels under option to the City
would be changed to CO zoning (it appeared from a draft map we viewed that this had
already occurred).
, a51,1 The City will insert language in the CO zone to indicate that existing buildings and
site plan approvals, including extensions thereof, and timely applications for similar site plan
approvals will be treated as existing uses vested to the prior "OP" zoning. You suggested that
we propose some language, and so I have drafted the following proposed addition to the CO
zone:
Existing Use Designation: Property located within the CO zone shall be given an
existing use designation, which designation will vest that property to the prior OP zoning
regulations, if the property has one or more of the following: .
(a) Existing buildings and uses, buildings under construction, and expansion of
existing buildings or uses; or
Ms. Mary Lynne Meyer - 2 - May 11, 1993
(b) The property has an existing site plan, or any extension of the site plan, as
well as any same or similar site plan for which application has been made prior to the lapse of
an approved site plan, which application is diligently pursued.
3) The City will_issue an administrative interpretation that warehousing, product
servicing,:wholesaling a td storage are allowed without limitation if part of a permitted use.
We would'a eciate"having a copy of this interpretation as soon as possible.
4) The City will insert language into the CO zone to allow accessory storage and parking
garages to exceed the 33% limitation by administrative conditional use permit.
5) The City will insert language into the CO zone to allow necessary and associated
outdoor storage, if appropriately screened, as an administrative conditional use subject to
some reasonable square footage limit (which the City will check with First City prior to
finalizing).
6) Any other issues between the City and Blackriver Corporate Park will be handled by a
letter of understanding or administrative interpretation. This would serve to limit the
number of textual changes to the Zoning Code and yet give Blackriver Corporate Park the
assurances that it wants.
We very much appreciate you, Kay, Larry and Jay taking the time to resolve these
issues. If I have misunderstood or omitted anything please let me know as soon as possible as
I will be gone the last two weeks of May. We look forward to hearing from you on this as
soon as possible. If you cannot reach me, please call Dean Erickson at 624-9223.

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION IN ERRATA PROCESS:
A. Include in the CO zone as administrative conditional uses:
1) Outdoor storage if associated with a permitted use and
if appropriately screened.
2) Indoor storage accessory to a permitted use will be
allowed to exceed the 33% of gross floor area limit as
a conditional use where adverse impacts are
appropriately mitigated.
3) Accessory parking garages will be allowed to exceed the
33% of gross floor area limit as a conditional use
where adverse impacts are appropriately mitigated.
B. Include in CO zone as an outright permitted secondary use:
1) Indoor storage if part of a mixed office/light
industrial or mixed office/manufacturing complex.
C. If City has not already enacted the provision grandfathering
site plan approvals, we ask that the following language be
inserted in the code through the errata process:
Existing Use Designation: Property located
within the CO zone shall be given an existing
use designation, which designation will vest
that property to the prior OP zoning
regulations, if the property has one or more
of the following:
(a) Existing buildings and uses, buildings under
construction, and expansion of existing buildings or
uses; or
(b) The property has an existing site plan, or any
extension of the site plan, as well as any same or
similar site plan for which application has been made
prior to the lapse of an approved site plan, which
application is diligently pursued.

SUBJECT: Blackriver Corporate Park Commercial Office (CO) Uses
Dear Ms. Kosterlitz:
Thank you for your letter of June 22, 1993 which arrived while I was on vacation. I was finally able to get
my hands on Larry Warren's May 3, 1993 memorandum to Jay Covington. As I understand it the
question you have raised pertains to Item 3 in Larry Warren's memorandum, that is, whether
"warehousing, product servicing, wholesaling and storage are allowed if part of a permitted use." After
• reviewing the June 7, 1993 version of the Commercial Office Zone it appears that some of these uses
are permitted and others are not. For example, "any outdoor storage or display of materials or
products" would be a prohibited use as listed in Sub-section C. Prohibited and Unclassified Uses. This
would appear to rule out such uses even by administrative or hearing examiner conditional use permit.
Warehousing would appear to be a normal ancillary use to Manufacturing, assembling and packaging of
articles, products or merchandise from pre-processed natural or synthetic material(B.2.e) (3)). Product
servicing would appear to be allowed under the category "General business services"(B.1.b) since you
indicate that it would be "part of a permitted use". Wholesaling would also appear to be allowed if it was
contained in the principal building (C.3.) and ancillary to the principal use, which I assume in this case
would be some form of one of the permitted Light industrial uses (B.2.e.)). Interior storage would also
appear to be permitted as an accessory use to Manufacturing, assembling and packaging of articles,
products or merchandise from pre-processed natural or synthetic materials (2.e)(3)), a permitted light
industrial use if it did not exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the gross floor area. Parking garages are
permitted as Accessory Uses (B.3.b)), in the Commercial Office Zone.
I'.
This is an administrative interpretation that is appealable within fourteen (14) days to the Hearing
Examiner along with a $75.00 filing fee pursuant to Section 4-8-11.B. of the City's Building Regulations.
If you have any questions or wish clarification please let me know. I can be contacted at 277-6181.

Date: May 3, 1993
Subject: Black River Corporate Park
During-our April 29, 1993 meeting we discussed the concerns of Black River Corporate Park as it
relates to the new Zoning Code. We decided on the following approaches:
1. The RC Zoning for the optioned parcels would be changed from RC to CO. Additionally,
the city would propose to agree with Black River that the option parcels, should they be
acquired by the city over the next several years, would be acquired as if the old OP zoning
was still on the property.
2. The city would give the Black River Corporate Park property an existing use designation
and indicate that it applies not only to the constructed buildings but also to any site plan
now in existence or any extension of the site plan, as well as to any same or similar site plan
„ - for which application had been made prior to the lapse of an approved site plan and
diligently pursued.
3. The city would issue an administrative interpretation that warehousing, product servicing,
wholesaling and storage are allowed if part of a permitted use.
4: Cxpansron of out____doo`storaand garages over 33% of the gross floor area would be by
admrrustrative or hearing examiner conditional use permit.
5. Any other issues between the city and Black River Corporate Park would be handled by a
letter of understanding or administrative interpretation. This would serve to limit the
number of textual changes in the Zoning Code and yet give Black River Corporate Park the
assurances that it wants.
If you have anything to add to this memo, or any corrections or clarifications please let me know.

Re: Blackriver Corporate Park
Dear Don:
As we unfortunately keep missing each other by phone, I thought I would send you a
brief note explaining our requests. First, pursuant to an agreement with the City through
meetings with Jay Covington, Kay Shoudy, Mary Lynn Meyer and Larry Warren, it was
agreed that rather than amend the City's new CO zoning to include some uses formerly
allowed in the OP zone, the City would issue an administrative interpretation of its CO zone
that "warehousing, product servicing, wholesaling and storage are allowed if part of a
permitted use." See the memo of Larry Warren to Jay, Kay and Mary Lynn dated May 3,
1993. My understanding is that the City has determined that you are the appropriate person
to issue the administrative interpretation of the code. We are very anxious to get this
interpretation issued. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to call me or, as I
have said, the above-mentioned City folks are very familiar with what was intended for the
administrative interpretation.
The second issue is that, while we understand that you have issued a general
extension for all permits until the end of December of this year, First City Washington will
probably need to go ahead and begin the process for getting a new shoreline permit approved
for Phase 6 of the Blackriver Corporate Park, so that when the extension expires, it will have
r•

necessary. Please let us know your thoughts on this and how to obtain the new permit.

REQUEST TO WITHDRAW OR SUPPLEMENT • .
BLACKRIVER CORPORATE PARK DEIS
ATTENTION: City of Renton and members of the Environmental
Review Committee
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the City of
Renton immediately withdraw the draft environmental impact
statement, issued April 11, 1990 , and reissue the document at
such time that the document is completed in draft form.
Alternatively, the City of, Renton may prepare a supplemental
draft environmental impact statement.
Document was released prematurely
The document in question, the Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS,
contains numerous errors in fact and omission. While the
purpose of the DEIS comment period is to identify these errors
of fact and omission, it is reasonably expected that the
document would contain sufficient information that would allow
the public to review the proposal and understand the most
significant and vital information concerning the proposed
action, alternatives, and impacts.. The document in its current
form is incomplete and does not allow this .
The errors in fact regarding this matter appear to be
straightforward. However, when faced with the insurmountable
burden placed on the public because of the preponderance of
errors of omissions it becomes impossible by 'reading the DEIS to
fully understand the facts relating to this proposal .
At the public hearing on May 1, 1990 , preliminary comments were
provided to the Environmental Review Committee. These
preliminary comments clearly outlined omissions in the City' s
environmental review. Those omissions include, but are not
limited to the following:
o Failure to include citations of references mentioned
in the text;
o Inclusion of references that were erroneously stated
as references on particular subject matter that were
in fact not related;
o An incomplete overview of the City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan and Green River policy plan.
There are extensive typographical errors .
A more accurate description of the document is "preliminary
draft" or "rough draft" EIS . The release of this document was
premature.
1
-
Burden on the public
The public is recognized as having generally more limited
resources . But the environmental review of this document is
dependent on public participation, as is all review under SEPA.
It is clear from the effort the public has undertaken so far and
the testimony heard at the public hearing on May 1 , 1990 that
the inadequacy of this document is to the extent that an
unacceptable and unrealistic amount of effort and cost must b.e
borne by the public to correct the document.
The City of Renton is responsible for preparing the DEIS . When
the document is as incomplete as this one, the City will rely on
the public to complete it for them. This is an unacceptable
burden on the public and shifting of responsibility by the City.
Effect of incomplete document at this stage
The inclusion of omitted information would allow an
understanding of the proposal, alternatives, and impacts . An
overwhelming number of corrections and additions to the document
will next be published in a final environmental impact
statement. The review and comment period for the public at the
final EIS stage will be seven (7 ) days . In seven days the
public will need to review and comment on an insurmountable
assemblage of information that we should have been reviewing at
the draft EIS stage.
The existing document effectively removes the public from the
review process at that stage.
Comments Submitted Separately
Although we strongly believe the DEIS should be withdrawn, as
set forth above, we are submitting separate comments so that our
comments will be part of the formal record. Those comments
detail the inadequacies of the DEIS . For that reason, the
errors and omissions referred to above are not repeated again in
this letter.
Conclusion
The Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS is incomplete, inadequate,
and has been released prematurely. Under these circumstances
the burden on the public is beyond reasonableness . Elimination
of the public from any portion of the environmental review
process must be avoided so that we are all assured that our
2
protection provided under SEPA and the City of Renton
environmental ordinance is available and realized.

Re: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Black River
Corporate Park
Dear Ms. Myer,
The King County Office of Open Space has reviewed the above-
referenced document and our comments follow.
The Black River Park Corporate Park Draft EIS lacks key
analyses that should be incorporated into the Final EIS for
that document to be considered adequate and complete.
1) One area seriously lacking in analysis is the alternative
use of the site as a public park or protected open space.
Potential uses of the site for a park could include many
more activities beyond "bird watching and lunchtime
relaxation" listed in Section 3 .9. 1 (Park and Other
Recreational Facilities) to include environmental
education and interpretation, linkage to hiking trails and
other uses in keeping with the sensitive nature of the
site.
The analysis in Section 3 . 9. 1 notes briefly the names and
rough directions from the site of several local parks,
however, they should be noted on maps, with exact
distances and uses of the parks indicated. It is not .
possible to determine any effect of the proposed project
on those parks or gain a sense of the geographic
appropriateness of the site for a future park or nature
preserve. Also, an indication of other sites Renton that
currently or potentially could serve as nature preserves
for controlled public access should be included in the
FEIS. Without this analysis, it is impossible to
determine the relative importance of the site as a local
• ,--
III
nature preserve, beyond its obvious importance as a
heronry.
2) The degree of importance of the heronry within the context
of King County is not explicit in the DEIS. Although
other heronries within the county are listed, the FEIS
should indicate the locations of all other known heronries
in the County and should include information such as
observed breeding activity, seasonal variations and total
numbers of heron residents. The mere existence of the
heronry on the site does make this site one of regional
significance and therefore one on which strong protection
measurements, beyond minimum standards should be
undertaken.
3) Section 3 .9. 1 makes no mention of the fact that funds to
acquire land directly adjacent to the proposed development
site have been approved by the voters of King County under
the 1989 Open Space Bond Act for protection of an
environmentally significant area known as Black River
4'12 Forest. The proposed Black River Corporate Park could
potentially have an adverse impact on the environmental
health and aesthetic quality of Black River Forest,
however, with no analysis of the effect of the proposed
development on the Black River Forest it is impossible to
determine what the impacts will be.
4) The DEIS lacks a serious analysis of wildlife and plant
• life at the site. While much of the wildlife on the site
44 may be fairly common on a statewide or national scale,
many of these species may be very rare within the city of
.) Renton itself. Thus, this site may provide one of the few
opportunities within the boundaries of the urbanized city
of Renton for residents to observe wildlife and plant life
in a setting that maintains a degree of wildness. A
complete inventory of the diversity and abundance of flora
and fauna at the site should be included in the FEIS.
e 5) The FEIS should also include specific information in an
appendix concerning the exact feeding locations and flight
patterns of the herons nesting at the site. The two Heron
-? flight zones seem to pass conveniently around the proposed
building sites. Are these two zones averages of total
numbers of flights? How much variance to these two zones
exists? have any herons been observed flying directly
through of overhead of the exact proposed building
locations?
The impact of the building plan, as currently proposed,
should be analyzed after the above-requested information has
been gained. The presently proposed mitigation measures do
not incorporate this information and therefore should not be
considered as currently adequate. Only mitigation measures
that take into account information gained through this
I
further study should be taken into consideration so that the
City of Renton may adequately protect the flora and fauna of
the site, including the Heronry, as well as make a better
determination of the appropriateness of the site as a nature

Dear Mrs . Myer; -
I am writing to comment on the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) prepared for the Blackriver
Corporate Park Office Buildings.
I believe that thedocument has a number of substantial
problems . These problems range from a slanted presentation
of factual information to a lack of specificity that makes
it senseless to attempt to evaluate the project.
I will point out the major flaws that I have been able
to find in the document at this time . If there are any more
I will write to you to point those out also. '
APPENDIX B
Almost all. the. information in Appendix B - omits, or is
missing valuable information needed to determine the impacts
of human activity on Great Blue Heron Rookeries . There are
eight Rookeries listed in table B-1 page B-3 . The table of
"rookery status" all eight of the rookeries are listed as
viable, and yet under the table "approximate # of Nests" the
list states unknown. If the number of nests are unknown at
a Rookery then the status of that Rookery is unknown since
the number of nest could range from 0 to an infinite number .
In fact the last listed number of Known nests for the Pigeon •
Point Rookery was 0 in 1988 .
The document does an insufficient job of describing the
particular settings for each of the rookeries . In the
instance of Peasley Canyon the make shift parking lot sets
almost 500 feet from the nesting sites, but is also almost
300 feet below the nesting sites . The nests are on the top
near the top and edges of the Canyon while the parking lot
sits on the valley floor.
Almost all established Rookeries that have tolerated
close human activity have only allowed for traffic or
mechanical intrusions. Birds in general are tolerant of
cars, and yet become intolerant if the people start stepping
out of the cars . The fact is that automobiles move in
consistent patterns in set areas, humans do not.
Although it can be shown that Rookeries will tolerate
traffic, it cannot be shown that they will tolerate human
movement within close proximity. Two of the three rookeries
on the list that have human housing near them have an
unknown status. (Pigeon Point, and Spencer •Property)

I have been to all the rookeries on the list in
Washington. The descriptions of the activity and the
surrounding environment contained in the document portray a
poor picture of how the sites exist. To describe the
proximity in numbers of feet, only a sketchy detail of the
tree and foliage coverage, and no accounting of the '
topography does not accurately reflect the conditions at
those rookeries.
FLIGHT PATH
Another glaring generalization in the document is the
so called "flight path" of the herons . This supposed path
is detailed within some of the maps in the DEIS . I have
been to the Rookery, and live near the Rookery. The herons .
do not limit themselves to the narrow confines of this
supposed flight path. The size of the colony is growing
each year . In the first few years the main food source for
the herons was at the mouth of the Cedar River . At times
almost a dozen herons can be seen crossing the airport at
dusk heading toward the Black River Rookery to roost .
As the colony has grown the movements and forays for
food now take the birds into the Green River Valley. Some
of the birds from the. Black River Rookery feed as far south
as the Kent' Lagoons, .and I am sure some even further . I
have watched the migration of the birds in and out of the
Valley each morning and night . The birds do not limit
themselves to a set North Eastern Flight Path as the DEIS
indicates . The birds now are going out in all directions as
the competition for food becomes more intense.
There is no set flight path in and out. of the Rookery,
and the assertion that there is makes the document very
misleading.
WILDLIFE
The DEIS makes only generalizations about the existing
wildlife on the proposed constructions sites.. On 3-33 the
document examines "wildlife most likely to utilize the
site" . It also speaks to animals that "may" nest or feed
along the. edges of the P-1 pond.
This typeof language would seem to indicate that the
drafters did not take the time to examine what wildlife is
on the site. These general terms only state what would
"likely" be on the site or "may" be on the site, and do not
account for what is on the site.
I could briefly give you a list of the wildlife that is
on the site . Red Tailed Hawks, Each of the Accipters
Coopers, Sharp Shined, and Goshawk, Merlins, and on one
occasion a wintering Peales Peregrine . Bald Eagle, and
Osprey have both been seen perching in the trees above the
P-i Pond . Great Horned, Screech, Barn, Short Eared, and Saw
Whet Owls have all been seen on the site during nesting
season.

You must insist that a field study be done to determine
exactly what is on the site so that the impacts to those
species may be mitigated.
CONCLUSION
The DEIS must be updated or redone so that the
information necessary for making a decision on this project
can be fully examined. Other options must be presented .
Those options must include some plan that would eliminate
any buildings on either site that would be taller than the
trees containing the Rookery.

I am writing to you after reviewing the DEIS for the proposed
Black River Corporate Park. I strongly support the No Action
alternatives for both tracts A and B. I feel-that--the- DEIS is
inadequate, incomplete, and lacking in justification for adversely
affecting the valuable Black River Riparian .Forest and Heron
Rookery, on which the office park is to be developed. The DEIS states
that a need for the corporate park has been identified (2-4), but
within the DEIS there is no detailed analysis of this need. Given the
value of the Black River Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery, and the
priority for its preservation, the demand for office space would need
to be overwhelming and without alternatives to justify adversely
affecting the area. What research has been performed in identifying
this need? What are the detailed results of this analysis?
A 1981 wetlands study cited in the 1986 City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan claimed the Black River Riparian Forest and
Heron Rookery to be the most valuable wetland in Renton. (p. 42).
Obviously, developing alternative sites, in which more resilient or
less valuable habitats would be disturbed by development, is
preferable to development in the proposed area. If other sites have
not been considered, they should be. If there are possible
alternative sites for the Black River Corporate Park, where are they?
The volume of traffic -in the area proximal to the proposed
corporate park is already beyond capacity; it is daily characterized
by slow-moving-to- standstill traffic jams. What will be the impact
of adding 2100 automobiles to the morning and afternoon rush hours
on Interstate 405.?
The case studies of the tolerance of heron rookeries to human
disturbances in appendix B are incomplete. The case studies of heron
rookeries surviving close to human developments do not make note
of the vitality of those rookeries. The number of nests in a particular
rookery are not necessarily indicative of the reproductive success of
_
that rookery. Have any of these case studies included a more
detailed analysis of the vitality of the heron rookeries? Please
include any such information in the final EIS.
Additionally, appendix B includes no examples of herons being
adversely affected by proximal development. If any such studies
exist they should be included in appendix B to insure an unbiased
conclusion. What are the thresholds at which herons will abandon an
established rookery?
Determination of the age of the Black River heron rookery is
critical in assessing the tolerance of this particular rookery to human
disturbance. The "sketchy" historical accounts of nesting herons
prior to the construction of the P-1 Pond (reported three years after
the pond's construction) (B-2) should be further clarifed. How many
nests existed? Were the existing nests, without a doubt, blue heron
nests?
For the heron rookery to thrive, not only the nests, but the
ecosystem in which they live, must be preserved. The water in
Springbrook Creek and P-1 Pond is already "quite turbid" and
polluted (3-23) and, with development this will get worse. Turbidity
of the P-1 Pond and Springbrook Creek will be increased during
construction, and pollutants associated with runoff will increase
when the development is completed (3-23,3-27). Surrounded by
this polluted water supply, will the diet of these particular herons be
more dependent on mice, amphibians, reptiles, and vegetative matter
than the diet suggested (for the average heron) in the ecologic
overview (B-5)?
If the polluted water does cause the herons to adjust their diets
to a greater dependence on terrestrial resources, there will be no
consolation for the herons when the tracts are cleared, graded, and
when 75% of the land is converted to impervious surfaces. Is there
any proposed mitigation for the proposed devastation of the blue
herons' food web?
The Black River Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery cannot
support a development the size of the Black River Corporate Park
while retaining the existing ecosystem of the great blue herons. Of
the alternatives offered in the DEIS, I strongly support No Action.
Additionally, I support the purchase of this important area, by the
City of Renton, as a preserve.

Ms. Mary Lynn Myer
City of Renton RECEIVED
200 Mill Avenue South
Renton, WA 98055
Dear Ms. Myer:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the Black River
Corporate Park by First City Developments. We reviewed the
DEIS and have the following comments.
In general, the DEIS does not appear to address the entire
area of the proposed development. Development in the
vicinity of the P-1 wetlands and the heron rookery must be
addressed in its totality before impacts can be adequately
evaluated. We noted this in our previous comments and we are
concerned that the cumulative impacts may not receive
adequate consideration.
WETLAND IMPACTS
Buildings B and C in Alternative Al and the parking garage in
Alternative B2 are proposed within the 600 foot buffer zone.
We understand the buffer zone was required by the Hearing
Examiner in a 1987 decision. Has that buffer zone condition
been removed or changed, and if so, by whom?
How wide will the buffer be for Tract A and will it be
planted with native vegetation? We recommend a native
vegetation buffer at least 100 feet wide for Tracts A and B.
Small depressions referred to in the description of Tract A
could be wetlands. Compensatory mitigation is recommended
for any unavoidable impacts to these wetlands.
It appears there is a proposed pipeline through Tract B
wetlands. We strongly recommend an alternate route that
avoids wetland impacts. Unavoidable impacts to wetlands
should be mitigated for.
The wetland in tract B should have at least a 50 foot wide
buffer around it.
Letter to Mary Lynn Myer
May 25, 1990
Page 2
We recommend a detailed pre and post-development monitoring
program involving vegetation, water quality and quantity, and
wildlife for the P-1 wetland and any other satellite
wetlands.
A contingency plan should be developed to address potential
future problems (e.g. marsh loss from a significant increase
in hydrologic inputs or contamination from storm water
pollutants) . The developer should be held accountable for
the expense of the contingency plan implementation.
CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS
It has come to the attention of the Department of Ecology
that possible contaminated dredge spoils are on-site. These
' spoils are from the dredging of the Black River Impoundment
(aka P-i Pond) . This "pond" forms behind a dam and a
majority of the sediment carried in Springbrook/Mill Creek
are deposited in that impoundment.
In 1984 the U. S. Soil Conservation Service dredged the
existing P-1 pump forebay as part of a forebay expansion
project. A water dredge was utilized and the discharge
lagoon for the dredge operation was located at the site of
the proposed construction. (Mary Anderson, personal
communication, 27 April 1990) .
Sediments in Springbrook/Mill Creek are known to exhibit high
levels of contamination, exceeding Hazardous Waste Inspection
and Cleanup Draft Cleanup Program (HWICP) Standards and, in
some instances, dangerous waste criteria. A: list of known
contaminated sites which have historically discharged into
Springbrook/Mill Creek is attached.
Due to the known historical contamination at the proposed
site, it is being considered a potential contaminated site by
the HWICP at Ecology's Northwest Regional Office.
In addition to the usual impacts from project construction,
other impacts are likely to result from the investigation and
clean up of any contamination on-site such as well drilling,
core sampling, excavation, backfill, etc.

In view of the potential for significant adverse impacts to
wetlands and wildlife habitat, and the potential risks from
contaminated sediments, we will continue to look closely at
this proposal. The City of Renton should seriously consider
whether the proposed intensity of development is appropriate
for the site.
If you have any questions on wetland issues, please call Ms.
Terra Prodan or Mr. John Marshal of our Shorelands Program at
(206) 459-6835. For questions on contaminated sediments,
please call Mr. Norm Peck of our Hazardous Waste Cleanup

RECEIVE ,
Dear Ms. Myer,
This letter is in response to the environmental impact statement
which was released on April 11 as part of the effort to develop the
area known as Black River Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery.
Last summer a friend took me for a walk in that area,just
about a mile from "Valley Office Park" where I work for Boeing, and
I was amazed to see an enormous blue bird flying around in the open
space near the tall trees. It kept its distance from us, and I can't
help but think that the experts are correct when they say that
`allowing these birds distance from the noise, artificial light, and
activity of people is necessary if they are to continue to favor us
with their presence in Renton.
I believe that developing any of the south side of this area will
cause the herons to leave this habitat which they have used for
many years and will contribute to the overall decrease of their
population in the state.
The public hearing had taken place before I heard about it, so I
want to take the opportunity now to urge you to deny any proposal
by developers to encroach on this area.
Respectfully, '

Re: Comment on Black River Corporate Park DEIS
Dear Na Myer,
I have recently had a chance to look over the Black River Corporate Park DEIS and
am very concerned that the office buildings proposed on both Tract A and Tract B
will have adverse effects on the nearby Black River heronry. The proposal calls
for construction and development activities so close to the heronry that it
jeopardizes the continued breeding success and conservation of this precious
natural resource.
I have had the opportunity to study Great Blue Herons at various nesting colonies
throughout southern Puget Sound, investigating aspects of their nesting biology and the
effects of pollutants on herons. This experience and a familiarity with the
scientific literature concerning Great Blue Herons leads me to question the claims of
the applicant regarding the effects of disturbance this project may have on the
heronry.
In Appendix B the applicants position(that this project's proposed guidelines would
cause little if any disturbance to the nearby heronry)is derived with numerous
erroneous assumptions between different heronries, with lack of consideration of
important factors such as nesting success, and without thorough documentation.
Put simply, selected literature and personal communications about herons appear to
have been collected and manipulated (or unprofessionally interpreted) to justify
aims of the building project.
Breeding colonies of Great Blue Herons are a very special and relatively uncommon
resource in King County and other heavily urbanized areas. They deserve special consid-
eration and thoughtful policies to provide maximum protection from disturbance.
Because herons are largely dependent on feeding in shallow fresh or saltwater habitats,
their relative abundance or scarcity is a partial indicator of the quality and
quantity of our areas wetlands. Like the canary in the coal mines, the herons can
serve as valuable "indicators". They are a terminal link in many aquatic food
chains and therefore can be indicators of changes affecting aquatic ecosystems.
They are also sensitive to environmental disturbances such as construction, logging,
land human disturbances in or near their breeding colonies.
The Washington Wildlife Dept. has developed management guidelines for the Great Blue
Heron (cited in Appendix B) which should be considered the bare minimum acceptable
for protecting the Black River heronry. These guidelines call for. approximately a
1,000 foot buffer around a heronry during the breeding season (Feb.1 - Aug.l in
this area) and at least a 750 foot buffer at all times. I would strongly urge that
•
Ta
`Page 2
Comments on Black River Corporate Park DEIS
the City of Renton adopt more protective buffers than the Wildlife Dept. 's
guidelines in light of the fact that the Black River heronry is located in an
area already developed to a large extent. It would be prudent to double the
1,000 foot buffer during the breeding season (ie. . . to 0.5 mile). A 0.5 mile
buffer has been recommended for protection of breeding herons in a number of
other management situations such as on our national forests. Of course efforts
to identify and preserve the feeding grounds that the Black River herons utilize
is also vital to your overall management policy.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on your draft EIS. Please keep me
informed on future actions related to this development proposal.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Myer:
I am writing in regards to the Draft EIS for the Blackriver
Corporate Park development being proposed near the
intersection of Oakesdale Ave and SW 7th St. I attended the
public hearing May 1 and want to express my concerns in
response to the presentation given on this Draft EIS.
I work in one of the new Blackriver Corp. Park office
buildings on Oakesdale Ave. , and so I've been fortune enough
to see first hand this precious wetlands and wildlands habit
and the waterfowl who live there. I also observe the
growing human congestion due to continued development and
have serious concerns about its destructive effects on the
environment in this area.
In spite of the mitigations proposed, this development is
far too large in scope to avoid damaging impact on the
wildlife that currently lives in the area, especially the
herons who nest in the rookery trees. A seven story
building, three 4 story, and a three story building are
going to enormously over-impact the area, even if there were
no wildlife habit nearby. Those large buildings and all the
cars, traffic congestion, air pollution from cars, noise and
glare will certainly pose a dramatic threat to the herons,
particularly during breeding season.
Research indicates that human disturbance within a distance
much greater than the distances of buildings and parking
lots discussed in the Draft EIS will interfere with the
herons' reproduction. And it will probably result in the
herons abandoning the site. Buildings of this size and
height can't help but impose tremendous disturbances, both
during construction and once in use. Much smaller scale,
one story buildings would be a more reasonable "mitigation",
constructed at a distance from the rookery that provides a
buffer supported by the scientific research.
Past logging and clearing have virtually eliminated any
buffer to the visual and sound contact between the rookery
and the proposed development. With seven, four and three
story buildings constructed, the 20 foot trees proposed
would in no way provide the visual and sound buffer the
herons need to stay in the rookery.
This rookery is one of only about a dozen left in King
County; most of the others are very small in comparison.
There are very few places for this heron population to go if
this development pushes them out, since 90% of the wetlands
in the county are already lost.
Rather than threatening this rookery and the other waterfowl
and wildlife living in the area with this large-scale
development, we have a unique opportunity to preserve and
protect this area. Wildlife enhances everyone's lives, but
is especially important to those of us who live and work in
urban environments. I strongly support the City of Renton
in any efforts to acquire this site and surrounding
wildlands. This would be an investment not only in the
environment but also in our children and future generations
who face urban environments totally devoid of any wildlife
and preserved natural areas.
Sincerely,
)bf4 ge44/6/44(

Dear Ms. Myer :
I am writing to express my concern over the possible
destruction of the heron wildlife sanctuary that would
result if the Blackriver Corporate Park development is
allowed to proceed .
In contrast to the draft EIS analysis, I believe that
buildings and parking areas would be too close to the Heron
Rookery. Without adequate buffering , the herons and other
wildlife will be severely harmed . . .yet another irreplacable
loss in a precarious balance between nature and man..
My concern is a personal one. It is not as much that I am
anti-development as it is that I am pro-wildlife
preservation. I find the relentless destruction of the few
remnants of peace and beauty we can find in our daily lives
to be a tragedy.
In the past year and a half that I have been working in
Renton, I have witnessed an onslaught of destruction of
natural beauty. I am truly sorry that the choices that have
been made in favor of development have taken such a toll .
If this development goes forward as described in the draft
EIS, the herons and other wildlife most likely will leave
the area. If they do, I will miss them !
Sincerely ,
Andrea S. Cohen

Ms. Myer:
I am writing because I strongly object to development of
property in or adjacent to the Blackriver Riparian Forest
and Heron Rookery. Buildings and/or parking lots in that
area will disturb the herons and most likely cause them to
leave. Other wildlife in the area will also be adversely
' affected.
I work in a building on Oaksdale, near the rookery. I see
geese wandering in our parking lot and ducks swimming in mud
puddles at the nearby construction site. If the forest and
rookery are destroyed or disturbed by noise, glare,
pollution etc. the wildlife will have nowhere to go.
Wetlands promote and sustain life. By destroying them we
eventually destroy ourselves .

Dear Ms. Myer:
Enclosed please find my comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
for the Black River Corporate Park. Having been born in Renton and raised in the Puget
Sound region I have taken a personal interest in this and other similar development
projects in the area. As an environmental scientist I have been professionally involved in
water quality related issues in the Seattle area for the past 11 years. Consequently, my
concerns and comments on the DEIS tend to focus on these areas of the environment.
I look forward to reviewing the Final EIS and trust that my comments and concerns will
be fully addressed.

COMMENTS ON THE BLACK RIVER CORPORATE PARK DRAFT EIS
Page 2-3. Paragraph 7. Development of a three or four story parking garage within 600
feet of the heron rookery cannot be considered as mitigation for the any of the
alternatives. Likewise, changing the previous plan to site a 7 story office building a
distance of 720 feet from the rookery, cannot be considered as mitigation of impacts
created by the development.
Page 3-1. Paragraph 4. Because both sites have in the past received fill material from
the P-1 Pond, the potential exists that this fill material is contaminated from upstream
activities. The Western Processing Superfund site has impacted the water and
sediments of Springbrook Creek which flows directly into the P-1 Pond. Elevated metals
concentrations have been observed by Metro in sediments of Springbrook Creek. No
mention is made of these data in the DEIS. Because the fill material present on these
sites may be contaminated, the potential impacts of disturbance must be addressed for
all pertinent elements of the environment including fish and wildlife habitat and water
quality associated with the site.
Page 3-17. Paragraph 4. Air pollution problems resulting from the parking garage for
either alternative are said to result in possible air pollution problems within and beyond
Tract B. Does this include the heron rookery? If so, what are the potential impacts?
Also, inversions are only mentioned. What is the incidence of inversions in the Black
River Basin? Their duration, frequency, and associated air quality?
Page 3-17. Paragraph 5. It is stated that "the parking garage for the Proposed Action
(B1) should have the following features..." Use of the word "should" does not ensure that
the mitigation presented will be employed as part of the project and therefore cannot be
considered as true mitigation.
Page 3-21. Paragraph 1. The pertinent sections of the Renton Storm and Surface Water
Drainage Ordinance need to be presented in the DEIS. The last sentence in this
paragraph is unclear. What are the onsite project facilities? What is meant by "the
receiving water (P-1 Pond) will be able to pass the 100 year flow"? Does this consider
cumulative upstream inputs?
1
Page 3-21. Paragraph 2. A detailed drainage plan must be prepared before a proper
assessment of impacts can be made. An approximation of impacts is inadequate and
inappropriate in the DEIS. Biofiltration swales are discussed here for the first time with
no description as to their locations. Assumptions about runoff being routed to such
facilities are inappropriate. The use of such facilities must be specifically described. The
location and sizing (length and width) of these structures must also be presented in
order to evaluate their capacity to carry (and to treat) a given flow. The last sentence in
this paragraph is unclear. What is the unused volume of the P-1 Pond?
Page 3-21. Paragraph 4. Again, detailed drainage plans are necessary in order to
evaluate potential impacts. On-site detention facilities need to be described and
identified on the alternative site plans. What are the runoff coefficients assumed for each
of the alternatives?
Page 3-21. Paragraph 5. What is the excess capacity of the P-1 channel? Based upon
what storm flow conditions?
Page 3-21. Paragraph 6. The final sentence states "Mitigation could include
improvements to the channel at the north end of Tract B..." Unless mitigation will or
would be implemented, then it cannot be seriously considered as part of this DEIS. The
integrity of the entire DEIS is compromised by such wording and phrasing.
Page 3-23. Paragraph 4. No mention is made of the potential impacts that would occur
as a result of spills of construction chemicals, oils and grease, diesel fuel, etc. What are
the potential impacts to water quality and other elements of the environment arising from
contaminants introduced from parking areas and landscaping activities associated with
normal day-to-day use of the proposed site? What are the estimated quantities of these
contaminants based upon the proposed areas of parking and landscaping for the site?
Page 3-23. Paragraph 5. What constitutes proper erosion control? How much
sediment will enter lower Springbrook Creek, the P-1 Pond, and the Green River? What
are the potential impacts to water quality and the associated aquatic biota from such
erosion?
Page 3-23. Paragraph 6. What is the magnitude of the increase in contaminants
associated with impervious paved areas? What are the contaminants involved? What is
2
the width of the proposed biofiltration swale? Will runoff actually flow the 200 foot length
of this swale? This is not demonstrated in any of the figures provided. How will it be
maintained? How often?
Page 3-27. Paragraph 1. How will the oil/water separator be maintained? How wide will
the 350 ft long biofiltration swale be? Where will it be located? It is unclear from the
figures (e.g. 2-3) provided how any of the proposed biofiltration swales will operate. Will
runoff flow the length of the swale (i.e. 350 feet) as the text would lead the reader to
believe? Or, will runoff only flow across the width of the swale (no numbers provided) to
the P-1 Pond? This needs to be clearly identified. In addition, those runoff pollutants of
concern must be identified along with the specific pollutant removal efficiencies for the
identified biofiltration swales.
Page 3-27. Paragraph 2. If sediment could enter the P-1 Pond it could also enter the
Green River. Quantify any potential impacts to the water quality and biota of the Green
River as a result of erosional impacts from the project.
Page 3-27. Paragraph 3. What are the specific impacts associated with vehicles and
landscaping activities? These must be identified.
General. Fisheries impacts to the Green River and to Springbrook Creek are totally
ignored in the DEIS. What are the water quality related impacts to fisheries in these
waters as a result of the proposed project?
Page 3-27. Paragraph 4. It is stated that "This plan would likely include the following
(mitigation) elements". Such language makes it impossible to evaluate what the plan
actually will provide for mitigation of impacts. The reader cannot tell which of the
elements identified are actually part of the plan. The word "likely" suggests that the
mitigation elements identified may or may not be implemented.
Page 3-27. Mitigation Measures. Item 7. "covering of exposed cuts as recommended
by the geotechnical engineer". What is recommended by the geotechnical engineer for
this project?
Item 8. Should read "Mulching of all areas exposed for more than 30 days" not
330 days.
3
Page 3 -27. Paragraph 5. What are the standards set forth by the Washington
Department of Ecology for the design of biofiltration swales? These must at least be
included in the appendix to the DEIS. What are the proposed locations of these swales?
Page 3-28. Paragraph 1. What are the pond volumes and pumping schedules that will
determine detention effectiveness?
Page 3-28. Paragraph 2. The absence of a detailed drainage plan makes it impossible
to evaluate whether the mitigation proposed is sufficient to reduce the potential impacts
of the project. Without a detailed drainage plan the DEIS must be considered
inadequate. The statement "Mitigation would likely take the form of proper design" is
inadequate. What would specific mitigation be to "ensure that additional volumes
generated by development...not increase erosion in the channel at the north end of the
site"?
Page 3-29. Paragraph 7. Where are the significant vegetation resources of the site
located? These need to be identified on a map of the site.
Page 3-29. Paragraph 8. The last sentence must be modified to read "filling or
development of impervious area must not extend under the dripline of the trees".
Page 3-30. Mitigation Measures. Throughout the DEIS mitigation is described as
something that should be done by FCDC. All such language must be changed to will be
done. Otherwise, the mitigation described cannot be seriously considered as something
that will, in fact, be carried out by FCDC as part of this project.
Page 3-31. Paragraph 1. Where is the map that delineates these two small
depressions?
Page 3-32. Paragraph 1. Where is the map that delineates the 1.1 acre wetland?
Page 3-32. Paragraph 6. Where is the map that delineates the 0.04 acre wetland?
Would filling this wetland be considered a significant impact?
Page 3-32. Paragraph 7. Is the potential alteration of species located within the
4
southern portion of the Black River wetland considered a major adverse impact? If so,
this should be stated.
Page 3-41. Paragraph 6. What are the specific distances involved in the statement
"Viable heron rookeries exist in close proximity to parking lots at the Peasley Canyon
rookery near Auburn, Washington, and adjacent to the Delta River Inn in Vancouver,
B.C..."
Page 3-42. Paragraph 1. What are the specific distances involved in the statement
"Although other viable heron rookeries in Oregon and Washington occur in close
proximity to buildings..."
Page 3-42. Paragraph 3. With regard to the statement "The long-term impacts of the
height and location of the seven-story building on heron use of the site is uncertain.",
what are the potential adverse impacts associated with this plan? Might the herons
abandon the site? Has development in other areas adversely impacted heron nesting
sites? Identify these potential adverse impacts.
Page 3-42. Paragraph 5. Identify the potential adverse impacts on heron use of the site
given the height of the building. While the long term impacts on heron use may be
unknown, at least the potential adverse impacts must be identified.
Page 3-43. Mitigation Measures. The statement "Additional mitigation could include the
following..." is totally ambiguous and does not indicate what, if any, mitigation will be
employed. In addition, the mitigation items listed are unclear. What is meant by "shifting
the seven-story building further to the slightly (sic) east and south to minimize potential
impact to great blue heron..."? How far should the building be "shifted"? How and by
what degree will this reduce potential impacts?
Page 3-46. Paragraph 5. What are the distances involved in the statement "...great blue
herons have nested successfully in close proximity to substantial generators of noise".
What are the decible levels which will result in blue herons being "bothered by loud
intermittent noises"? What are the distances and decible levels of disturbance involved
in the example rookeries presented?
Page 3-47. Paragraph 3. The statement presented is not clear. Use of the phrase
5
1
• y f
"should not cause any adverse impact" is ambiguous. Will noise associated with daily
activities in the office complex cause any adverse impacts to great blue herons present,
or not?
Page 3-47. Mitigation Measures. Again, use of the word "should" when describing
mitigation measures is ambiguous. There is no doubt that the mitigation described
should be implemented for this project. The question is, will it?
Page 3-63. Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance. What are the provisions of this
ordinance? These must be presented in the DEIS. How will these provisions be met for
each of the Alternatives?
Page 3-64. Shoreline Master Program. Discuss in detail the inconsistencies of the
proposed office park versus a water dependant use or urban shoreline for the site.
Page 3-64. Comprehensive Plan. Explain how a seven story building (Alternatives B1
and B2) can be a viable Alternative for the DEIS if it conflicts with local land use policies.
Page 3-64. Zoning Ordinance. What are the Environmental Performance Standards that
must be met for any of the Alternatives?
Page 3-65. Mitigation Measures. What are the specific inconsistencies with the Land
Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance? How many trees are involved? Use of the word
"should" is ambiguous and does not ensure that this mitigation will be employed.
Page 3-66. Paragraph 5. The text indicates that "Because of the height of the proposed
phase 3 building (seven stories) a mass of lit surface will be immediately adjacent to the
great blue heron flight zone on the west side of the site." What are the potential adverse.
impacts of this mass of lit surface on the flight of herons? On heron nesting?
Page 3-68. Paragraph 1. Traffic related impacts cannot be excused simply because
they were not identified in the scoping process. If, in fact, the Grady Way Corridor
Transportation Improvement Study addresses the impacts and issues related to traffic,
this information must at least be summarized in the DEIS.
Page 3-68. Paragraph 3. The information presented in this paragraph is not related to
6
J
the Affected Environment.
Page 3-68. Mitigation Measures. Use of the word "should" is, as noted for other
mitigation in the DEIS, ambiguous.

o Without adequate buffering, the herons and other
wildlife will be adversely disturbed by movement,
light, noise, air and water quality, glare, and the
heron will probably leave.
o Paving the area will eliminate habitat for other

Dear Ms . Myer,
This letter is in regard to the Blackriver Corporate Park
draft Environmental Impact Statement , dated April 1990 . I
have a number of concerns about the proposed development.
Primarily, I do not want the heronry to suffer adverse
environmental impact as a result of the proposed
development. The City of Renton is responsible for ensuring
that this development does not have that affect.
My specific concerns are as follows :
o Placement of the buildings and parking areas are too
close to the heronry.
j o Without adequate buffering, the herons and other
wildlife will be adversely disturbed by movement,
light, noise, air and water quality, glare, and the
heron will probably leave.
o Paving the area will eliminate habitat for other
wildlife. Local extinctions may occur.
Please keep me informed as to any development that does take
place at the site. Thank you for your consideration to this
urgent issue.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Myer, N!
I am very concerned about how proposed development will
adversely affect the Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron
Rookery.
We are already encroaching on their habitat enough as it is.
Proposed placement of future buildings and parking areas are
much too close to the heron rookery. Without adequate
buffer zones, herons and other wildlife will be disturbed by
movement, light, noise, air quality, and glare.
Furthermore, paving the area will eliminate habitat for
other wildlife and local extinctions may occur.
It is not such a great leap of common sense to know that we
only adversely affect our own well being when we begin to
tamper with the health of an environment whose intricate
interdependencies we ignore for the sake of short-lived
profits for a few individuals. Please work to prevent
devlopment of this site.

Dear Ms. Myer: ECE ED
I understand that the City of Renton is considering
developing the south side of the Blackriver Riparian Forest
and the Heron Rookery. I am very concerned that this would
render the area uninhabitable for the herons. They would be
affected by the noise, light and movement that parking lots
and buildings would create. As a birdwatcher, I know herons
are quite sensitive to and fearful of human presence. I
feel strongly that we need to maintain the environments in
which they can live--and particularly breed--undisturbed. I
would urge the City not to develop this particular area..
Thank you for your consideration.

It is clear to me that noisy construction, polluted water
run-off and human disturbance in general will force the birds off
their nesting grounds. We should consider ourselves extremely
fortunate in having a spectacular showing of herons nesting in
our City. Everything possible should be done in an effort to
protect their environment and keep them here. Molded correctly,
the Rookery clearly will become one of Renton's main attractions

Dear Ms . Myer :
I am writing in response to the EIS on the Blackriver
Corporate Park.
This development will have a critical effect on the heron
rookery. It will most likely cause the herons to leave.
The proposed buffering is not adequate. . The herons (and
other wildlife as well ) will be disturbed by light, noise,
water pollution, air pollution,and daily movement of people
and their vehicles .
I feel that this area should be set..asirde as a park for the
herons . There are other locations for an office park, but
there are no other nesting sites for herons in King County.
It is vitally important that the Blackriver Riparian Forest
and Heron Rookery is preserved.

Ms. Myer,
We have been following the proposed development around the
Blackriver Riparian Forest & Heron Rookery for nearly a
year, and have become increasingly concerned about the
wisdom of such activity. After attending the May 1st public
hearing, our skepticism was strengthened. The speakers from
the Audubon Society and the University of Washington
presented a number of legitimate concerns regarding items
included in the EIS, and omissions of pertinent information
from the EIS. Their professional expertise allows them to be
able comprehend the long range implications of accepting the
current proposal, and they have serious concerns. So do we.
The proposed placement of buildings and parking areas is too
close to the heronry; there is inadequate buffering. Both
the Washington State Department of Wildlife and the Fish and
Game Department recommend buffers that are greater in
distance and composed of larger trees than the developer has
proposed.
Paving the area would eliminate habitat for wildlife and
substantially alter the hydrology of the wetland. Though the
developer has added a storm drain filtration system to the
plan it is unclear if the system could effectively handle
the run-off of either a major rain storm or a lengthy period
of rain. "Overflow bypassing" is not acceptable.
There is growing agreement that Open Spaces and Wetlands are
valuable in their own right. In 1981 the city of Renton
acknowledged that the Blackriver site was the premier #1
wetland in Renton. The loss of such a unique and scarce
resource to yet another isotropic office park would be a
tragic loss indeed.
Please reconsider this proposal, it needs a great deal more
study.

Dear Ms . Myer:
Please consider my comments regarding the Environmental
Impact Statement for the Blackriver Riparian Forest and
Heron Rookery.
1 . Reducing the size of the forest through additional
construction would squeeze out many of the species
currently living in the area.
2 . Construction too close to the heron rookery would
place a great strain on the viability of the
rookery.
3 . The infrastructure is not adequate to support more
traffic in the area. Specifically, the railroad
crossing has had many close calls for those
currently using Oakesdale, and the large number of
dumptrucks going to the gravel quarry present
hazards due to the debris they leave and their
continual obstruction of the roadways
4. Without a substantial construction-free zone
around the rookery and pond, the wildlife
(including the herons) would be continuously
harassed by the noise, activity, air pollution,
and building and auto glass reflections .
Thank you for giving my comments serious consideration.
I work in the Blackriver area, and this issue is important
to me.

Dear Ms. Myer,
On May 1 , 1990, you and I were in the same Public Hearing
� Room for the City of Renton hearing on the Black River
Corporate Park DEIS. That room and event is at very critical
part of the American citizen participation process. I honor
the City for following the SEPA procedures and establishing
the format that allowed so many eloquently informed and
concerned resident s s to pea` for the record. However, no
tape recording, can capture the serenity and liveliness of
that the artist' s paintings of the Black River Riparian
Forest and Heron Rookery brought into the public hearing.
I wish to highlight several very noteworthy comments that I
concur with and that I believe must be addressed by the
City.
o Dee Boersma, University of Wash. suggested that the
contiguous Soil Conservation Service land requires federal
government involvement through the National Environmental
Protection Agency processes. She also pointed out that the
restoration of indigenous salmon runs by Federal Fish and
Wildlife may indicate NEPA requirements. Air quality issues
are another concern that would bring in the EPA to study
auto emissions and CO amounts in theregion, not just in the
�s d ki
prop e par ng garage.
o Joe Miles made a very thorough critique of the D E I S,
section on Heron Rookery nt'Imbers, sites and viability. His
commenteshow that the DEIS is sadly incomplete, inaccurate
and misleading in Appendix B.
� o Renton residents and taxpayers do not want Renton known
for its business parks and office buildings, they want it
� known for the preservation of areas of natural and Wildlife
! values.
o The "birder" count by the man who spoke from his heart
and from his statistics of arrival and departures of the
�
| herons refutes the DETS reportage of "Heron flight paths" .
o The final speaker made brief reference to the c
vehicular traffic problems and raised a very important
question about the impact of increased office space.
VK
^
��
. .
. ,
- °
/ I further add these concerns:
�
� o The developer proposes to place the buildings and
|
parking areas too close to the rookery.
o Noise, pollution, light, movement and glare can not be
adequately buffered by any of the plans proposed. I read
the term "window hood"in the DEIS, but read no explanation
� of its design, function nor reports of its usefulness in c
projects. The DEIS is inadequate when it introduces a term
that is not explained nor justified. The only way to
eliminate the effect of these elements on the wildlife is
NOT TO BUILD.
In conclusion, I have followed this land use issue for two
years. My pathway started with an incidence of wetland
destruction adjacent to my residence, to attendance at the
National Wetland Forum in May 1988, to membership on Seattle
Audubon Society Conservation Committee, to frequent walks
� and visits to the Renton Heron Rookery. This rookery was my
"first" to discover and to learn about. I urge Renton to
preserve its health and longevity by denying the development
as presented in the DEIS. If agreement to deny is is not
reached, then the city must follow the advice of all experts
on herons and wetlands to require and enforce all
mitigations they suggest.
I am writing to the Renton Parks Department to urge that
that agency purchase the site. I am also writing to King
�
County Conservation Futures Tax fund to urge generous
funding for the site. There is a higher and better use of-
this piece of planet Earth than for the Black River
Corporate Park.

Subject : Blackriver Corporate Park & the Heron Rookery.
Dear Ms. Myer,
•
I wish to express my opposition to any development immediately
adjacent to the Blackriver heron rookery. It appears that this is
the only such area in the south end, and surely the only one in
the city of Renton. With all the other areas available for
development, it would seem the only objective in exploiting this
particular site would be the elimination of the rookery and the
adjacent wild- life habitat.
Another concern relative to the proposed development has to do
with the developer. If this is the same organization which was
responsible for the Victoria Hills project, they have a relationship
with the City of Renton that goes back many years, most of it pretty
rocky. If the Victoria Hills project was an indication of their
typical performance, the City of Renton might well expect another
extended period of bitterness, confrontation and anguish if this
project is approved. At the same time, the rookery could be lost
forever.
I urge the City of Renton Planning and Community Development
Departments to approve only the "No Action" alternatives defined in
the DEIS, for both "tract A" & "tract B".

Re: Heron Rookery
Dear Ms. Myer:
I am very concerned about development in Renton, and
particulary about the proposed office buildings that will abut
the Blackriver Riparian Forest and heron rookery. It seems
clear to me that noisy construction, polluted water run-off and
human disturbance in general will drive the herons off their
nesting grounds. I believe we need to step back and look at
the effects rampant development in Renton has on its wildlife.
It is easy to say that the birds can go elsewhere and that
humans need office parks, cities need revenue from growth.
Please consider that one more office park means more and more
encroachment by humanity on the natural environment. If we do
not change our attitudes and start considering the ecosystem
and all of the creatures that live in it, we ourselves will die
as a species. Please be a leader in the fight to save our
sensitive wetlands and breeding grounds for other species
besides ourselves.
Sincerely,

Draft Environmental Impact Statement [�
File Name: Blackriver Corporation Park
Dear Mr. Erickson:
Metro staff has reviewed this proposal and anticipates no
significant impacts to Metro's wastewa -er facilities.
However we have the following comments regarding Metro's
water quality and public transportatiot services.
Water Quality
Drainage, temporary erosion control, and wetland mitigation
plans should be completed and approved in detail prior to
the final version of the EIS. It is difficult to adequately
assess the efficacy of proposed facilities, mitigations, and
temporary erosion control without a p;:�::sentation of the
complete proposed design (in the case f 'the drainage
facilities) or of the actual plan (in ,he case of the
temporary erosion control) .
Public Transportation
We note that Blackriver Corporate Park has an existing
Transportation Management Plan (TMP) . However, it would be
timely to review the existing TMP an: update it according
to the following actions and/or conditions.
- Provide a free one-month bus pass to tenants at the
time of each new tenant occupancy. The passes should
be for peak hour, two zones - maximum requirement: two
per unit.
- Distribute site-appropriate transit and ridesharing
information to new tenants and ann ally to all tenants.
- Display site-appropriate transit ;a.nd ridesharing
information in prominent public 1c)cations.
- Appoint a Transportation Coordinator to promote and
coordinate the use of public transportation and high
occupancy vehicles.

Provide lighted and hard-surfaced sidewalks or

- Design and implement a guaranteed ride home program.
- Design and implement a parking management program.
- Initiate an alternative work hour program.
- Establish a performance goal for .11igh occupancy vehicle
use.
- Provide preferential parking for high occupancy
vehicles.
- Provide a financial subsidy for aAployees who use HOV.
- Conduct transportation surveys/monitoring.
- Provide a bus stop passenger landing pad.
- Provide secure bicycle parking.
For assistance in revising and writing the transportation
management plan, contact Carol Thompson, Metro Market
Development, at 684-1610. -
Overall, we are pleased to note that less than one stall per
employee parking would be provided. The ratio appears to
pp
assume a 10% mode split transit/riders;iaring which is
reasonable. We recommend that parking spaces be allocated
to give preferential location to carper;ls and vanpools.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment.

Dear Ms. Myer,
I am a citizen concerned over the proposed action to be taken regarding the
development of the Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery. The current course
has no apparent means to minimize the impacts of development on the wildlife
inhabiting the area.
I have some specific concerns. First, the plans have the buildings and parking lots
placed too close to the heron nesting area. Unless there is adequate buffering, the
wildlife living in the forest and rookery will be disturbed by the increased human and
automobile activity. Finally, paving the site will eliminate habitat for wildlife.
Some species would not be able to survive in the area.
I recommend we find a solution where the expansion of human development
cooperates with the natural environment rather than conflicts with it. The time and
energy - the short-term frustration - will be insignificant when compared to the
long-term benefit by all.

RE: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR BLACK RIVER CORPORATE
PARK
Dear Ms. Myer:
Washington Department of Wildlife (WDW) staff has reviewed the subject
document and our comments follow.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The most striking deficiency in this document is that it suggests
putting public resources at risk, without establishing the need to do
so. In a recent telecast (King Broadcasting, April 25, 1990), King TV
news staff reported an almost 30 percent vacancy rate in recently
constructed office buildings in the greater Seattle area. With this
level of availability of already constructed buildings, it seems
needless to encroach, with the mass density described, into an
environmentally sensitive and unique area.
The second most striking deficiency relates to the great lengths the
authors have gone to in searching out case histories of heronries
which supposedly "coexist" with development--because they inhabit
sites close to it (Appendix B) . However, the ecological data
necessary to evaluate the real viability of these nesting sites (Table
B-1, Appendix B) is lacking.
Viability, as it applies to a wildlife population, describes a
condition in which a breeding population produces enough offspring to
replace a major portion of its own members, over time, and exchange
members with other breeding populations (genetic drift) . The number
of individuals in the population must either remain stable or increase
over time.
Table B-1 does not list the number of herons in any given colony, nor
does it show whether the colonies are increasing, decreasing, or
remaining stable in size. It only gives the number of nests in most
9 •

Muller to Myer

Page 2
of the colonies over time. However, in those cases where the number
of nests are increasing, it is not clear whether this is due to
increased breeding population, or whether nests are being abandoned
and rebuilt further from the disturbances; as reported by Werschkul
et.a 1 (1976) and Simpson and Kelsall (1978) .
To then state that all these heronries are "viable, " we believe, is
without foundation.
The "heron protection guidelines" developed with the use of these
incomplete data, are therefore, highly questionable.
The third apparent deficiency in the document is the complete failure
to inventory the wildlife resources utilizing the site. Our personal
visits to this site have revealed that at least six additional
wildlife species should be added to the list presented in this
document (Section 3.5.3 and 3.5.4) . We have observed widgeons,
buffleheads, goldeneyes, shovellers, gold finches, and pine siskins on
this site. We suspect that a thorough and comprehensive wildlife
inventory would disclose use by eighty, or more, species. These would
include fish, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, and additional bird
species.
We do not believe that failure to conduct adequate field work is an
excuse to provide inadequate mitigation of impacts, or to fail to
disclose impacts.
This document's focus, relative to the natural environment, is almost
exclusively on the heron colony, and seemingly, ignores impacts to all
the other wildlife resources which depend upon this site.
We are not suggesting by this that the heronry is not important, but
rather, that all other wildlife is important as well.
SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
Table 1-2 (pages 1-5 through 1-14); the table states that significant
areas of terrestrial habitat will be lost, implying that terrestrial
wildlife will also be lost. This is true. In addition, however, the
year around use of parking areas within close proximity to the P-1
pond will create disturbance impacts to this important aquatic feature
as well. Our visits to the site have revealed year around use of the
pond by waterfowl and wading birds.
Secondly, the table states that there will be no significant adverse
impacts to herons so long as "heron protection guidelines" are
411

Muller to Myer

followed. The discussion in Appendix B does not seem to support this
statement. A number of case studies are given in Appendix B, however,
none of the examples included a man-made development including a seven
story building and over 1,200 surface parking stalls (tract A and B)
in such close proximity to a heronry. It appears that the so-called
heron protection guidelines are more an attempt to maximize economic
return--given the physical constraints of the site--rather than an
attempt to develop the site in an environmentally sensitive manner.
In our opinion, the preferred alternatives for developing these two
tracts propose to play a kind of "Russian roulette" with the heron
colony.
Page 1-15, Mitigation Measures; we agree that reducing the size of the
building would reduce the impacts to some extent. Not only would the
building itself be less intrusive, but a smaller building would also
require a less extensive parking area--which, in turn, would help
reduce human disturbance.
Section 3.4.1; Surface Water Movement/Quantity; Page 3-19; paragraph
prior to Impacts; this paragraph refers the reader to a discussion of
wetlands, in Section 3.4.2. We located this discussion in Section
3.5.2.
Section 3.5. 1 also makes reference to this same section.
Page 3-30; Mitigation measures; it is unclear from the drawings in
Section 2 2-3 and 2-5(Figures ) just how much area FCDC is committing
to buffer area for the P-1 pond and heronry. It appears that the area
of their lands proposed to be committed to mitigation is only 15-20
feet in width. It would be more appropriate to seek out means whereby
the project provides its own mitigation within the confines of the
site.
Page 3-33; Section 3.5.3; the wildlife inventory given here is
incomplete. It is difficult to imagine how successive environmental
impact documents could have been prepared for these sites, since 1979,
and no actual physical inventory has ever actually been made, to
support those documents.
Page 3-36; Mitigation Measures; the so-called "mitigation measures"
listed here are not really mitigation in any real sense of the word.
Our Webster's dictionary defines mitigation as a transitive verb,
meaning "to make or become milder, less severe, less rigorous . . . . "
At page 3-34 the DEIS states that this proposal will eliminate all
• •
Muller to Myer

Page 4
wildlife now using the project site, and replace these species with
"crows, house sparrows, starlings, rock doves, etc. ". Presumably, the
etc. would refer to Norway rats and possibly ferrel cats. Only one of
these species (crow) is even classified as wildlife, and then
primarily as a pest species.
We do understand that a few other species of "urban wildlife" will use
the developed area as some form of marginal habitat as well. However,
the resultant change in wildlife species diversity does not constitute
mitigation in any real sense of the word.
This section also describes changes (negative) that will occur in
species diversity of the wildlife using the P-1 pond. Although the
City of Renton pond access areas adjacent to the FCDC properties will
provide some excellent buffering of the pond (as soon as a multi-
layered mixed coniferous-deciduous forest establishes itself) , we
cannot imagine any real mitigation being accomplished by this
vegetative cover, for many years.
As stated before, we do not believe that the heron protection
guidelines presented in the DEIS will substantially protect the
heronry. These guidelines are not consistent between the two tracts,
and they impose a more significant risk to the heronry than can be
supported by the available literature.
We have included a draft copy of the Washington Department of Wildlife
Management Guidelines for . . . Great Blue Heron(s) . We request that
these guidelines be implemented to protect herons on this site.
In our opinion these guidelines contain the substance of a less
biased, more balanced, survey of the available literature on heron
ecology.
Please note: These guidelines, under Management Recommendations, give
a range of distance that should be disturbance free during the
breeding season--based on site characteristics. Since, on this
site, the potential disturbance will be unscreened and line-of-
sight, the maximum distance of 1320 feet (1/4 mile) should be
imposed. The year around no disturbance buffer should be 750 feet
(or more) in width.
In summary, we will briefly reiterate the major points above.
. WDW finds the DEIS deficient in three major areas.
• • •

1 . The need to place these wildlife resources at risk is not
clearly substantiated.
2. The information upon which the "heron protection guidelines" are
based does not truly represent a balanced synthesis of the
available literature on herons.
3. The DEIS does not provide a detailed and comprehensive inventory
of the wildlife resources at risk.
. There is no true mitigation proposed for impacts on terrestrial
wildlife, waterfowl, or shore birds.
. WDW recommends that the WDW Management Guidelines for Great Blue
Herons (copy attached) be followed as a means of mitigating impacts
to the heron colony.
Thank you for sending this document, we appreciate the opportunity to
comment on means for protecting the state's valuable wildlife
resources. Please give these comments every consideration in your
decision making process!

DISTRIBUTION: •
HABITAT Great blue herons occur near all types of fresh and saltwater wetlands includ-
REOU I RE MENTS: ing seashores,rivers.swamps,marshes,and ditches. They occur at most ele-
vations,but are more common in the lowlands. These herons are colonial
breeders,generally nesting in tall deciduous or coniferous trees near wet-
lands. Although occasionally smaller trees or bushes,and artificial structures
have been used(Bruce 1986,Blus et al. 1980),nests are usually constructed
in the largest trees available, 'For example,a study in British Columbia found
that most heronries occurred in trees over 50 ft.tall and no nests were found
in trees under 30 ft.high(Mark 1976).
Great blue herons feed on aquatic and marine animals found in shallow wa-
ter. Terrestrial feeding in fields for mice and voles may be important in win-
ter,especially for herons in coastal areas(Simpson,pers.comm,), Although
documented distances from an active heronry to a foraging area range from
2.5 to 18 miles,most are located within a radius of about 2.5 to 3 miles from
the heronry(Short and Cooper 1985). Feeding territories vary from year to
year with respect to size or location(Hoover and Wills 1987),
Alternative nesting and feeding habitat is probably critical to great blue her-
ons. Colonies usually exist at the same location for many years,but some
herons may naturally relocate their colonies in response to increased preda-
tion on eggs and young by mammals or other birds,or declines in food
availability(Simpson et al, 1986), Heronries built in spruce or Douglas-fir
trees may damage the host trees over time,which may also influence colony
relocation(Julie 1986).
Great blue herons are shy birds,generally sensitive to human disturbance and
frequently the target of vandalism(Parker 1980,English 1978). Herons have
abandoned heronries because of housing and industrial development,high-
way construction,logging,actively used roads,and repeated human intru-
sions into colonies(Leonard 1985.Parker 1980,Kelsall and Simpson 1979,
Werschkul et al. 1976).
Other studies suggest that some herons,which are frequently or consistently
exposed to disturbance,may habituate to human activities(Webb and Forbes
1982). Thus,herons nesting in different locales may have different tolerance
levels to humans,with colonies located close to human activities responding
less to disturbance than those in remote areas(Simpson 1984). Certain colo-
rit(
+t • •
•
nies may tolerate disturbance because nests are built in coniferous trees,
whose foliage naturally buffers the effects of human activity,or they may be
influenced by proximity to heavily used foraging areas(Webb and Forbes
1982).
LIMITING FACTORS: Availability of suitable habitat which provides undisturbed nest sites and ade-
quate feeding areas in the vicinity of breeding colonies.
MANAGEMENT Individual heronries should be evaluated independently for their vegetative
RECOMMENDATIONS: structure and past exposure to human disturbances. Where herons are unac-
customed to disturbance or alternative habitat is lacking,heronries should be
kept free of human disturbance within an 800 foot to 1/4 mile radius of the
nesting colony during the breeding season,between April 1 and August 1
(Parker 1980,Hoover and Wills 1987,Simpson 1984). A smaller permanent
buffer should be designed on a site specific basis to protect the integrity of
the nesting trees from windthrow and to provide screening from adjacent de-
velopment or distw ce. Where possible,this permanent buffer should en-
compass a Pr.Zia-radius around the nest trees. The buffer zone should be
closed to human access when herons are present(Parker 1980);human access
should be closed or limited during the non-breeding season to protect the in-
tegrity of the buffer vegetation.
Great blue heron responses to human activities near the breeding colonies are
not predictable. In situations where alternative habitat exists,it must be re-
membered that heronries may naturally change location or fluctuate in size.
Human activities which may cause colony relocations should be avoided un-
less similar habitat is available within 6.25 miles of the existing heroruy
(Simpson 1984).
.
Surrounding feeding areas,especially wetlands,should be protected within a
minimum radius of 2.5 miles of existing colonies. This is especially critical
where herons coexist in areas with high human activity(Hoover and Wills
1987).
Nesting tree loss,either naturally or through disturbance,may represent a se-
rious problem if availability of suitable alternative great blue heron habitat
becomes limited, Therefore,stands of large trees at least 50 ft.high and at
least 10 acres in extent should be left in the vicinity of heron breeding colo-
nies and feeding areas. These sites should be located a minimum of 1/2 mile
from actively used roads and at least 250 ft.from developed waterfronts
(Parker 1980).
Efforts to increase awareness of great blue heron nesting colonies should con-
centrate on inventories,information exchange,and education, Nest sites oc-
cupied currently or in the past should be inventoried regularly,and local and
state agencies should be made aware of their existence. Where vandalism is
unlikely,posting signs at heronries may help to increase awareness of the im-
portance of protecting nest trees.

Dear Ms. Myer:
This letter is in response to the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement review on the above referenced project, which we
received from the city of Renton.
This proposed development is to construct as a four-year
phased project, three (3) one to four-story office buildings
(183,600 square feet) on 12.71 acres of Tract A and three (3)
four to seven-story buildings on the 15.7 acre Tract B.
Tract B will also include the construction of a three-story
parking structure in 1992-93 . This development is located at
the intersection of Southwest 7th Street and Oaksdale Avenue
SW.
A development of this size and location will have an enormous
impact on state highways in the vicinity. Interstate 405,
State Route 181, State Route 167 and State Route 900 will all
be impacted.
As stated on pages 3-67 and 3-68, "analysis of transportation
was not identified as a scoping issue by the city of Renton
and not included as a part of this EIS. " We are referred to
the Grady Way Corridor Transportation Improvement Study
written in 1988.. According to our records, we have not had
the opportunity to review this transportation study. To
properly review this DEIS, we will need to review the Grady
Way Corridor Transportation Improvement Study.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact Chuck
Gleich at 562-4105.

Dear Ms Myer : •
Thank you for extending t he peroid for comments for the Blackriver
Corporate Park Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) .
It is important that any development near the Blackriver Riparian •
Forest. and Heron Rookery be considered carefully and completely
because of the limited number of similar sites in this area .
In the section on Wildlife Resources on page 3-33 I found no
discussion of the migratory birds that use the P-1 pond and the
impacts of the project on them.
' After driving home from the Renton library after reading; the DHIS
on a Friday afternoon I have doubts about Ghady Way being. able to
handle the traffic volumes as discussed on pages 3-67 and 3-68. .
•
On page B-10 it is stated that '"A majority of the information
available regarding the effect of human activities on great blue
heron rboker•ies is associated with Either short-term construction-
related activities or in areas where rookerise have been established
after construction. Only limited information exists regarding the
effects of construction activities on existing rookeries. Likewise ,
very little information exists regarding setbacks needed to provide
long-term protection to heron rookeries. "
Due to the importance of the site and the lack of information on
the impact of the project on the heron rookery it seems to me that
instead of proposing guidelines that allow construction closer•
to the site that the guidelines of Washington Department of Wildlife
should be used for this project .

Dear Mr . Erickson: EC EI
You have, for this phase of the development, received
testimony from a number of recognized and highly respected
persons in the scientific community, namely to myknowledge
Dr . L. Sd©tt Forbes , Dr. P. Dee Boersma, Ted Muller, Dr. John
Kelsall and Mr. Range Bayer. The Great Blue Heron and other
wildlife are indeed fortunate to have such advocates . I urge
emphatically that the decision-makers carefully study their
documents .
( 1) BUFFER ZONES - Guidelines established by the Department
of Wildlife recommend at least 750 feet . In view of certain
unresolved questions re arding human disturbance at Great Blue
Heron colonies , I firml ✓ this guideline should be honored.
(2 ) A. NO==DISTURBANCE DATES - While the British Columbia
Heron, as both Forbes and Kelsall indicate, settle in at their
colonies in mid-February as do the Marsh Island and Samish Island
heron 70 miles north of Seattle, At each of these colonies there
is no sign of heron in either Padilla Bay, Samish Bay or the trees
until mid-February. Pair-bonding, nest defense may take place at
both the Renton and Lake Sammamish heronries anywhere from late
December to January ' s end. On 12/25/86 I noted 8 heron present
at the Renton heronry. On February 13 , 1987 I counted 28 heron
there, far more than 8 nests could accomodate. These were probably
heron seeking nesting sites . I therefore am in agreement with
Bayer that no disturbance should be permitted from at least mid-
January.
B. Young heron fledged at the Black River colony between
6/20/87 and 7/1/87 . ( I was unable to visit the site during that
period) . On the July date I counted 6 juveniles , loafing on the
islands in the pond. It must be emphasized that recently fledged
heron do not leave the colony for at least two to three weeks past
the fledging date since they must gather strength to forage in a
wider range . In summary, the no disturbance dates must be from
at least mid-January to August 1 . I further emphasize that in large
colonies a week or more may pass before all fledging occurs .
(3 ) SEVEN STORY STRUCTURE- This not only poses a threat to
the Great Blue Heron and songbirds but is totally out of synch with
not only this site but with the entire business park areas .
A suggestion to erect the building on tract A is totally
unacceptable since it would then be directly in the flight path of
the heron, their major route particularly during nesting season.

(4) FEEDING OFAATILD BIRDS - The feeding of wild birds , in
particular Mallards and Canada Geese, must be prohibited by the
introduction of a city ordinance which includes a fine for so
feeding.
( 5) EOOD SUPPLY - GREAT BLUE HERON- Although I noted
occasionally some adult heron feeding in the ponds , any fish brought
to the young was delivered by adults flying to and from the south-
southwest . Possibly the Tukwila ponds are one source, if they have
not since been drained for a shopping center . Since only fish is
fed to pre-fledged young heron I postulate that during the critical
period prior to fledging the P-1 ponds are lacking in fish, or from]
May possibly tollate fall . My reasoning is as follows :
(a) The diet of the Double-crested Cormorant is schooling
fish. Four cormorants were present March 1 and 4/21/87 , but not
before or after those dates .
(b) Bufflehead, totalling 30 pairs on December 25 , 1986 ,
and in less but still substantial numbers from November 1 , 1986
through May 1 , 1987 , are partly aquatic vegetarian but become fish-
eaters during winter . Since these are diving birds it is difficult to
determine whether they are eating aquatic foods or fish.
(c) Only one other species , the Hooded Merganser , eats
mostly fish. Twelve pairs of these were observed only once in 35
visits , on Nbvember 8 , 1986 .
(6) PILE DRIVERS - On July 21 , 1987 I noted through my spotting
scope that six young heron loafing in the nest tree froze in an erect
position at the sound of a pile driver near Springbrook Creek. The
sound created a substantial echo that bounced off the hills behind
the colony . Please note that date of heron present , well after the
fledging period between June 20 and July 1 .
( 7) Dr . Kelsall describes the absence of a list of biological
diversity at Black River Corporate Park. I submitted such a list
to the Planning Commission in 1987 . The table attached, adapted from
the original chart presented, accounts for water , shore and land
birds . Only one mammal was noted in 35 visits to the site - a dead
beaver along the south berm, cause of death undetermined. Coyote
scat was also present in this area . I found no raptor pellets here
but believe they would be found on the hill beneath the trees there .
Finally, I am in full agreement with Dr . Kelsall that "the
developers of Black River Corporate Park are clearly playing brink-
manship with the heron and possibly with other ecological values as
well . " Developers stated in 1987 that they considered the Great Blue
Heron "an amenity, " This materialistic view, not only of heron but
of a whole ecosystem, is responsible for the precarious state of
wildlife and its habitat throughout the United States, particularly
when city governments are willing to trade off natural areas for
economic benefits .

quarry. It should be noted that (a) Great Horned Owls rarely build
their own nests , but rely on "borrowineparticularly Red-tail nests ,
and (b) any disturbance to nesting raptors (or any nesting birds )

young, the nesting tree, is in violation of state statute , a copy
of which can be obtained from the Department of Wildlife .
Two warbler species were present but were heard only, therefore I
can offer no definite identification.
Two Mallard families were also noted.

Any development of buildings and parking areas in the south
side of the Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery
will disturb wildlife and probably cause species
extinctions . Thanks to the actions of selfish and greedy
people (people who should be deeply ashamed) , this very
special natural area could be added to the growing list of
destroyed wildlands . •
Please do not allow this development .

Dear Ms. Myer:
I 'm writing to protest the proposed development of the Blackriver
Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery as discussed in the
Environmental Impact Statement released on April 11.
Human encroachment on the heron rookery will have a devastating
effect on their nesting, raising of young and overall health.
There are over 24 nesting pairs of herons at this sight--they
will undoubtedly leave when confronted with the noise, light,
movement and diminished air quality that comes with a large
concentration of people. The siting of buildings within 400 feet
of the birds is absolutely unacceptable. Herons are extremely
skittish--which is why this is one of the only rookeries left in
the Kent Valley. Please don' t let this one disappear.
In addition, paving the area will eliminate habitat for other
wildlife. Other species will probably move on to try and find
the dwindling open space and green areas they can live in. This
is an area that already supports a thriving ecosystem. Please
mitigate the existing development plan to allow for wildlife.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Myer, E..r6Y
ED
I am writing in response to the Environmental Impact Statement, of April 11,regarding the
Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery.
First,I want to tell you that this was a tough letter to write. Not because I didn't know what
I wanted to say. But,because I wasn't sure what it was acceptable to say. So,I decided to
say what I feel and hope for the best. (I think it is important to mention that. I spent a lot of
time trying to compose the"right"sort of letter. I would imagine that some people got
frustrated and gave up).
I am very concerned about the impact of proposed building near the rookery. As a matter of
fact,I am very concerned about building and growth throughout the entire state of
Washington. I am a native Washingtonian. Over the 36 years of my life I have seen the
state population grow and I have seen the impact on both the environment and the quality
of life. I have always spent a lot of time camping and hiking here. Even as a child, I was
impressed by the purity of our waters,the beauty of our countryside,and the abundance of
wildlife. I don't want to see that destroyed. Not only for my sake and the sake of future
generations. But,also for the sake of the planet! As higher intelligence beings,it is our
responsibility to protect our planet and it's other life forms. We have already done a great
deal of harm. It isn't going to be easy to repair the damage; some of it can't be repaired. We
need to change now. We need policies and regulations to preserve what still exists today.
We can not bring life back from extinction!
I am not a scientist. But,studies indicate that, should the proposed building occur,the
herons will abandon the rookery. This rookery has grown considerably over the last few
years. Since,we do not have an over abundance of herons in Washington this may be an
indication that the herons have settled here due to a loss of former habitats. Are we trying
to run these beautiful birds out of the state? Do we want to eliminate the species?!? I know
that isn't true for all of us.
My primary concerns about this site are: proposed locations of buildings and parking areas
are to close to the rookery. Without adequate distance and buffering,the herons and other
wildlife will be disturbed by movement,light noise,air quality and glare. (These are shy,
timid animals. If they feel threatened they will not breed comfortably and they will
probably be forced out entirely). In addition,paving the area will eliminate habitat. Which
could result in local extinctions of other wildlife,too.
Please,do anything you can to save the natural wonders of our state.

Dear Ms . Myer:
We are writing to express our shock over the proposed development
near the Renton Heron Rookery and Blackriver Riparian Forest .
This area is very unique and a real treasure to Renton and the
county. A rookery of this size is rare. To place office buildings
near it is a crime. The office buildings can still exist but an
adequate buffer area around the rookery is essential. Without
a decent buffer zone, the herons will leave.
So many people , including present occupants of the nearby office
buildings , enjoy the beauty of this special area. Once destroyed,
these areas are gone forever.
•
Please reconsider this proposed development .

Dear Mary Lynne Myer:
I am writing in opposition to the proposed development of
the south side of the Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron
Rookery. As the population of King county increases, we are
losing more and more open spaces, which translates into
wildlife habitat loss. A large part of the reason people
are moving here is the quality of life. Ironically the
quality of life is decreasing as our wildlife habitats are
destroyed. The Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery
is particularly precious because it is located in an oasis
of industrial and commercial complexes. The herons and
other wildlife located there have been squeezed into this or
dislodged from their normal habitats by development
pressures throughout the King county. The proposed
development would likely destroy this area as a wildlife
sanctuary and breeding area.
It truly saddens me to watch the constant destruction of
our open spaces. I have lived in Western Washington all my
life and have watched the development roll over a lot of
open spaces I hiked, played and bird watched in. The pace
at which we are moving right now is astounding. If we do
not preserve some of these areas now, there will soon be
none left to preserve.
By allowing the office buildings to be built as proposed,
the heron rookery will likely be abandoned. The buildings
and parking areas are simply too close to the nesting area.
The herons, as well as other wildlife, require a buffer
which would shelter them from movement, glare, noise and air
pollution. The proposed development would violate. all of
these.
I strongly urge you to protect this area as a wildlife
habitat and not allow the adjacent development to destroy
it. Thank-you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Citizens for
Renton Wildlands Preservation
Mayor Earl Clymer
Ymer
200 Mill Avenue South
Renton, WA 98055
May 9, 1990
Dear Mayor Clymer,
This letter outlines the concerns of Citizens for Renton
Wildlands Preservation and concerned Renton and other King County
residents.
Our concerns are as follows:
o Ineffective current procedures for public comment,
which reduces the potential for real citizen impact on
the final project;
o The City of Renton's willingness to accept a proposal
as incomplete and inaccurate as the Blackriver
Corporate Park DEIS;
o The City of Renton's lack of commitment to its own
Environmental Ordinance (SEPA) and Comprehensive Plan.
On a positive note, I would like express my appreciation for the
efforts of Don Erickson and Mary Lynne Myer (who very recently
joined your staff) . They have consistently made themselves
available and, during the rare times we needed them to, have gone
the extra mile to research a question or locate a record that was
hard to find. If not for their assistance and willingness to be
available, public participation would be considerably more
difficult. In addition, we would like to express our
appreciation for the extension of the comment period.
Unfortunately, the way this process is currently structured, the
City of Renton staff must rely primarily on information furnished
by the providers of information, who are paid by the developer,
for a DEIS and final EIS.
The City of Renton Environmental Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
clearly spell out established policies and goals, which require
Renton to impose mitigating conditions or deny projects that are
not in keeping with established policy.
Our greatest concern is that the decision to develop the site may
have already been made by the City of Renton.
Please note that we are sending a copy of this letter to the
developer. We believe that they recognize it is in their best
interest that a full citizen review of this proposal take place.

Issue 1: Ineffective current procedures for public comment
reduce substantive citizen impact on the final project.
The evening of May 1, the City of Renton held what many citizens
viewed as an unfortunate sham of a public hearing in the Council
Chambers. The presumed objective of the hearing was to provide a
forum for discussion of the proposed development at Renton's
Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heronry, as spelled out in a draft
environmental impact statement.
Nearly 50 concerned citizens filled the Council Chambers and
witnessed a demonstration of apathy on the part of the City.
Although Mr. Erickson and Ms. Myer were present, none of the
actual decision-makers attended. If this issue is a priority in
the eyes of the City of Renton, the decision-makers should have
been there.
Had they been, this would have provided them an ideal
opportunity, in the context of a public proceeding, to ask us
questions about issues brought out during or after the testimony
that needed clarification or elaboration. Additionally, it would
have provided us an opportunity to ask questions of them. We
should have had that opportunity. Representatives of the
developer, First City Developments, attended and were available
to answer questions.
During the hearing, each person was limited to five minutes of
testimony. Let's be fair to both sides here. The DEIS took over
a year to develop, write, and finalize for release. The 1" thick
document is highly technical. To be allotted only five minutes
to testify does not allow citizens, especially those of us with
expertise, to even begin to adequately describe our concerns.
The five minute rule should be increased to a minimum of 15
minutes (or more, as appropriate) to allow for situations such as
these.
We realize that additional opportunity is available to comment.
We will be submitting detailed written comments to the City. But
one of the purposes of the hearing, as stated by Mary Lynne Myer,
was to provide people in the audience with an opportunity to
learn from the testimony of other citizens present more about the
proposed development, and use that testimony in their written
comments.
We also realize that the hearing was taped and that the testimony
will be transcribed for the record. But personal contact is
essential. Reducing our oral testimony to yet more text on paper
ultimately degrades its value to the realm of just more
paperwork.
The five minute limit and apparent lack of interest on the part
of the decision makers was inexcusable. We were left with the".
distinct, and hopefully erroneous, feeling that the City was
simply providing lip service to enforcement of environmental
-2- is
policy. Public comment seems to be sought only to satisfy
technical procedural requirements of local and state
environmental regulations.
Issue 2: The City of Renton's willingness to accept a proposal
as incomplete and inaccurate as this DEIS.
One of our central concerns with the DEIS is that the document
contains not only errors in fact, but also errors of omission
(see Attachment B, the comments of Range Bayer, and Attachment C,
the comments of John Kelsall) . By accepting an inaccurate and,
especially, incomplete DEIS, the City imposes a great and
unacceptable burden of effort on those who are least able to
identify the omissions. The 30-45-day comment period and our
limited resources do not allow us to adequately address the
omissions.
This is, after all, what the City, the developer, and the
preparer of the DEIS are paid and equipped to do.
The way this process is currently administered suggests that it
is effectively controlled by developers. The City should act as
a greater authority whose responsibility it is to ensure that
development occurs only if it is consistent with established
policies. The decision to develop could easily be railroaded
through with little regard for the inadequacies in the DEIS and
public concern.
Even if by some miracle we discovered all of the omissions, they
would not be addressed until the final EIS. That provides us
even less opportunity to comment and impact the final decision.
In addition, the limited mitigation measures that are offered are
often couched in "shoulds" and "mays, " rendering the document
toothless in terms of what it actually promises to deliver.
Issue 3: The City of Renton's lack of commitment to its own
Environmental Ordinance (SEPA) and Comprehensive Plan.
We, the citizens of Renton and employees working in Renton,
sincerely care about the quality of our environment and the long-
term interests of the community, and the City's concern and
caring is explicitly spelled out in Renton's policies (see
Attachment A) to protect Renton's quality of life.
According to the DEIS, the proposed Blackriver Corporate Park
development will have a significant adverse impact on the
environment that cannot be mitigated. Renton's Environmental
Ordinance and the policies it incorporates authorizes and
requires the City to impose conditions to mitigate adverse
impacts, and where those adverse impacts cannot be mitigated, to
deny the project. Gerry Adams, in his testimony at the hearing,
specifically. references some of those policies.
We will be submitting separate written comments to the City, as
part of the DEIS review process, confirming those deficiencies
touched upon during our brief testimony and addressing other
deficiencies as well.
Because the proposed mitigation measures are based on erroneous
information, glossed over, or completely omitted from the DEIS,
we respectfully request that the DEIS be withdrawn and revised.
Alternatively, the City should develop a supplemental DEIS, which
thoroughly addresses omissions in this DEIS.
Conclusion:
This issue merits your attention and action. Our efforts stem
from a genuine desire to preserve a special and extremely fragile
quality of life that still exists here in Renton. Qualities such
as these have been lost in other areas in Puget Sound.
Responsible resolution of this issue, in compliance with local
and state policies, will preserve this unique community resource
that all too easily can be destroyed.
We respectfully request your response and solution to this urgent
matter.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Susan Krom

Renton, WA 98055 RECEIVED
Dear Ms. Myer;
I was contacted by Susan Krom of the Citizens for Renton Wildlands
Preservation to comment on the Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS. I first visited
the site in March of 1989 to discuss the great blue heron colony there to a group
of 50 Seattle Audubon Society members, many of them Renton residents. I am
familiar with the area having done research at the Renton Sewage Treatment
Plant when I lived in Seattle. The heron colony has grown over the last five
years, indicating its potential as a successful colony. It is certainly a wildlife
spectacle for an urban area, and deserves a plan for long-term preservation.
I am pleased with the dedication of the authors of the DEIS for their sensitive
review of the impact of major construction near the heron colony. The use of
Northwest native species plantings as habitat mitigation will improve wildlife
habitat over the existing spoil areas, and has the benefit of low cost
maintenance. While there will be differences of opinion over the possible
effects of the proposed construction on the future of the colony, I believe all
parties share a concern for the future of these magnificent birds. We are lucky
that herons are adaptable birds, and the chances are good that the birds will not
desert the site. Much more information on herons in Puget Sound is needed.
Careful scientific documentation of the consequences of this project will provide
a better understanding of the dynamics of planning our lives in better harmony
with nature. Let us not turn our backs once the solution is decided.

Letter to M. L. Myer
May 9, 1990
I have based my comments on several years of field research investigating the
impacts of pollutants on herons. This was the subject of my Master's Thesis
research at Western Washington University. I cannot stress strongly enough
that the real issue here is planning how to manage sites such as the Blackriver
for the long-term survival of wildlife.
Herons need trees, large old trees, which means that those big cottonwood
nesting trees have to be protected, kept alive, and nearby trees groomed for
future duty as nurseries. The proposed planting of buffers, and other mediation
efforts should be set up for the long-term, not to satisfy the short term SEPA
guidelines and the current conscience of concerned citizens.
I have proposed that a trust be set up. The city of Renton, local conservation
groups, the Washington Department of Wildlife, and the surrounding land
owners would provide funding for educational aspects such as viewing areas,
protection such as fences, and tree evaluation. Only with such long-term
commitments can I see a future for wildlife anywhere. Herons are indicators of
the health of our environment, and having a colony in an urban area for
monitoring is an additional reason for preserving the colony. I am sorry I am too
far away to actively participate in this project, but I remain interested in the
outcome.

Summary of Comments on the Impacts of Construction
Upon the Great Blue Heron Colony in Renton, WA
1. No construction should be allowed within 660 feet of the heron colony.
2. No information was presented in the DEIS on how disturbance levels will be
measured. No information on what methods will be used to evaluate the
effects of Phase One construction in Tract B upon the heron colony were
discussed.
3. Any construction should be halted on January 15th not February 1st.
4. A committee should be established to evaluate the outcome of any construction and
evaluate the efficacy of buffer revegetation. This committee should have funds
in trust, provided by the builder, the city, local environmental groups and other
land owners to provide long-term monitoring of the project's outcome.

Introduction
I have limited my comments on the proposed office building development at the
Black River site in Renton, WA to the impacts on the great blue heron colony there. I
was contacted by Susan Krom of the Citizens for Renton Wildlands Preservation to
comment on the Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS. I am quite familiar with the site
having visited it several times during my master's thesis research on great blue herons
at Huxley College of Environmental Studies at Western Washington University in
Bellingham. I am now a predoctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia. I have enclosed a summary of my research activities to establish myself
as a knowledgeable biologist on the subject of great blue heron biology.
Disturbance
As a biologist who has studied great blue herons, it is my opinion that a 7 story
building built as close as 400 feet from an active heron colony should not be allowed.
A 660 ft. guideline recommended by the Washington Department of Wildlife was not
followed, though a great deal of information in the literature suggests that this distance
may not be far enough. As documented in the DEIS, herons do live close to human
structures. In some instances these distances are less than 660 feet, but the herons
have moved into areas after the construction. The typical reason for this behavior is
the lack of alternative nesting sites. Herons acclimate to the narrow noise and visual
buffers because of a lack of disturbance. This prevent usually prevent abandonment.
No information on what methods will be used to evaluate the effects of Phase
One construction in Tract B upon the heron colony. The presence of herons in the
area, or birds attempting to breed does not mean that there has not been any
disturbance. Only by the measurement of breeding success can the evaluation of the
colony be established. No measurements of the breeding success of the colony were
given, especially during the spring disturbance of forest clearing within 200 feet of the
colony in 1987, and during the 1984 pond construction. No data on the relationship
between disturbance and breeding success were presented for other heron colonies
sited in the DEIS.
Noise at the Black River site was used as a measure of disturbance, yet it is well
known that herons may habituate to noises that obviously do not threaten them. No
studies, however, have been done to examine the reproductive success of colonies
Elackriver Corp.Park DEIS comments-3-
D.M.Norman 5-9-90
exposed to excessive noise. I have studied the heron colony at Ault Naval Air Station
on Widbey Island that is less than 500 yards from the landing strip for Navy jet
bombers, and found that breeding success was comparable to nearby colonies.
Anyone familiar with that area knows the noise level is excessive.
Without records of the breeding success of the Black River colony, it is
impossible to obtain an idea of the possible effects of construction disturbance. I have
compiled the breeding success data from the 1984 study funded by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and from my thesis research into a
summary table (Table 1)(Calambokidis et al. 1985). The data from the Auburn colony
in Peasley Canyon is also available for 1984, in which 4 of 10 nests were successful,
and averaged 2.9 young/ per nest. Typically, almost 90% of nests are successful for
this subspecies (Butler 1989), and it is estimated that a reproductive rate of about 2.4
young/successful nest is necessary to maintain the population (Forbes et al. 1985).
From these calculations, it is obvious that many colonies in Puget Sound are not
replacing their own numbers. The colony may appear to stay the same, but this is due
to the influx of new birds. Without measuring the reproductive success of the colony in
question, and also noting the numbers of first year birds, it is impossible, without
banding, to know whether the colony has been disturbed or impacted.
Measurement of Disturbance
I propose that any heron colony with less than 50% of the attempted nests being
successful, and with a reproductive rate of less than 2 birds per successful nest is
defined as being adversely impacted. Sources of the lowered reproductive success
can be reduced food availability, poor weather, predation, pollution, and disturbance.
No research on the primary food source of the Black River colony has been done. No
research on the effects of weather on heron colony breeding success has been done,
and the microclimates of the Pacific Northwest would make this quite difficult to
generalize. The resurgence of populations of Bald Eagles puts many heron colonies
in danger, as Bald Eagles have been documented to eat heron nestlings (Norman et
al. 1989). Judging the impacts of toxic chemicals upon herons is difficult. Despite a
decrease in available habitat, heron numbers appear to have increased in the past 20
years, perhaps when effects of pollutants were greater. Herons continue to show
eggshell thinning from DDE, though DDT was banned almost 20 years ago, and the
effects of dioxins on herons is a major research effort in Canada (Elliott et al. 1989). In
0
Blackriver Corp.Park DEIS Comments-4-

the region, herons appear to have recovered from past reproductive problems, though
local effects of pollutants at places such as Commencement Bay may be exerting
some effects.
If weather has been followed and determined not to be a factor, and food
abundance is measured under the colony and found equal to previous years,
disturbance could be presumed to be a major cause of nesting failure. Necropsies of
chicks found under the colony can be performed to distinguish between starved,
poisoned, and healthy chicks (Langelier 1989, unpublished thesis research D. M.
Norman). This information could have been obtained on several visits over the period
of study this colony has undergone for the preparation of this DEIS. Counting the
number of chicks in the successful nests was an essential aspect of evaluating this
colony that was not performed. A registered wildlife veterinarian was available at the
Institute of Wildlife Toxicology at Western Washington University during the
preparation phases of this report, and Ken Langelier, a DVM on Vancouver Island has
performed necropsies on many herons to consult with other vets. This extent of
evaluation in the preparation of a DEIS, unfortunately, has not been a requirement by
the state of Washington.
Periods of No Distubance At Heron Colonies
The arrival of herons and commencement of prenuptual activities at the Black
River heron colony may occur prior to February 1st. Other colonies, such as the
Dumas Bay colony in nearby Federal Way show activity as early as mid-January. The
period before nesting is much more critical to prevent abandonment than the periods
later in the breeding season. It is better to resume construction activities earlier in the
summer than to allow heavy construction until February 1st when herons are present
at their colony. I propose that any construction should be halted on January 15th, not
February 1st.
Flight Zones
No data was presented for the flight zones presented in Figure 4 of Appendix B
of the DEIS. Unless these drawings are the proposed unobstructed paths available to
the herons after construction, their relevance is minimal. The directions herons fly
when approaching the colony within 1000 feet of the colony is variable, even when
birds are returning from the same feeding location.

Remedial Action at the Site
No information was presented in the DEIS that indicated the duration of long-
term commitment to maintaining the vegetated no-build buffer. I recommend that
cottonwood and red alder be planted as they are the fastest growing trees. They are
also less expensive than the large evergreens necessary to provide a buffer zone.
Though they are not as complete a buffer as evergreens, they will be larger, and will
protect the integrity of the colony trees. Additional cottonwoods and alders should be
planted around the colony to increase the size of the wooded area. This will certainly
allow the future survival of the colony after the current cottonwoods are destroyed by
the birds. I am currently involved in documenting the rate of deterioration and death of
cottonwoods and alders in heron colonies. No allocation of funds or method of
evaluating the effectiveness of the remediation/enhancement of the site was
presented. I commend the planners of the vegetation enhancement for their selection
of hardy native species.
A Monitoring Committee for the Black River Heron Colony
I propose that a committee be established to monitor the outcomes of the
project, with funding to maintain the colony and provide environmental educational
opportunities for the people of Renton to learn more about their heron colony. This
committee shall be composed of representatives from the city of Renton, the property
owners, the Washington Department of Wildlife, a scientific review committee, and
local environmental groups. It is desired that funds from all of these groups can be set
into a trust for their use in maintaining this area. Projects include the yearly evaluation
and care of trees in the colony area, and construction of the appropriate viewing areas
with good signs. If fencing is necessary, it can be funded through this committee.
Local environmental groups and the Department of Wildlife can offer field trips to local
persons.
I recommend that any committee established to evaluate the impacts of
distubance upon herons include Dr. John Kelsall, retired Canadian Wildlife Service
biologist, or Rob Butler, a biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service, both of which
live just north of the border in British Columbia. Dr. Kelsall has been involved in
evaluating the impact of human activities upon herons in the Pacific Northwest, and
Rob Butler is currently completing his PhD at the University of British Columbia on the

breeding biology of great blue herons. Because the subspecies of great blue heron
that occurs in this area ranges from Puget Sound up to Alaska, there is great interest
on the part of Canadians to impove the level of research on herons in Washington.
Over half of the estimated population of the subspecies occur in Washington state, and
movements across the border are common. Other than my research, the only other
project that has attempted to evaluate the biology of great blue herons in western
Washington was the 1984 NOAA survey. This project was funded to evaluate the
effects of pollution upon herons. A previous report by NOAA had reported high levels
of toxic chemicals in herons from Seattle, the Pigeon Point Colony, and from Tacoma,
the Dumas Bay colony (Riley et al. 1983). Major research, on the other hand, is
ongoing in British Columbia. Another heron expert, Range Bayer, lives in Newport,
Oregon, might be available to evaluate impacts of this project. Michael Brandman
Associates, a consulting firm near Los Angeles, has expertise in the evaluation of
impacts of construction on heron colonies. At least one expert from outside the area
should be on the committee. This will allow an impartial voice on the committee, and
provide contacts to other parts of the country.
Summary
Questions about the survival of herons at small urban colonies versus the three
large colonies north of Puget Sound (Samish Island, Birch Bay, and Point Roberts)
remain as an important research issues. Research needs to be undertaken to
determine the stability of these urban colonies. As western Washington continues to
grow, the quality of life we cherish will hopefully not be measured by the miles of
freeway, but by the numbers of heron colonies. The Renton colony, along with the
other urban colonies, can provide important information on the levels of environmental
contaminants to which we are also exposed. Efforts to require several years of
background monitoring of heron colonies within 1000 feet of proposed projects should
be undertaken under wildlife protection legislation. Further research may allow even
better methods to estimate the bounds of disturbance.

Dear Ms . Myer,
We are writing regarding possible development of the Blackriver
Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery.
As residents of Renton who value the natural ,wetlands we have
in our city, we ask that your department take a very active
role in protecting the local wildlife.
Specifically, we request that
1 . Buildings and parking areas are not placed too close
to the heron rookery.
2 . Provide adequate buffering so that the herons and other
wildlife will not be disturbed by movement, light,
noise, air- quality, and glare . -
3 . Allow little or no paving of the area .
We live on the West Hill and love seeing the herons fly over
our home . This issue is important to us . We hope your
department understands the magnitude of the decision before
them and makes every effort to protect a natural habitat that
cannot be replaced.
Si -derely, .�

Subject: Blackriver Corporate Park DEIS
I would like to express my concern about the above Draft Environmental Impact
Study because of the following reasons:
• An active Great Blue heronry, the largest in the Puget Sound area,
exists adjacent to the site.
• The EIS states that proposed construction poses a signifcantly adverse
impact on the heronry the cannot be mitigated.
• The proposed building and parking lot locations are too close to the
heronry and without adequate buffering, noise, glare, and reduced air
quality will all threaten the herons in their mating/nesting/feeding ritu-
als.
• Proposed paving would reduce habitat of other local wildlife and possi-
bly cause local exstinction of some species in the area.
I feel that the loss of wetland and possible loss of the adjacent heronry is not out-
weighed by any gains (increased revenue to the city, jobs, etc) to be derived from
the proposed corporate park. Wetlands are crucial blocks in a rapidly weakening
environment. This project would clearly have a significant adverse impact on the
Blackriver wetland.
I recommend that the proposed corporate park be denied until all possible impacts
of the proposed construction are adequately mitigated and the scale of the project
drastically reduced.
Please keep me informed of the continued processing of this application.
Sincerely,
•

Mary Lynne Myer;
I am writting to express my interest and concern about development near the
BLACKRIVER RIPARIAN FOREST AND HERON ROOKERY. In your decision making please consider the
placement of buildings and parking areas so they are not to close to the Heron Rookery.
Every effort should be made to allow the Herons and other wildlife to remain undisturbed
by movement, light, noise, glare, and air quality. It seems to me that good planning
and decision making now..can allow this Heron rookery to continue unmolested by
by. development. I believe this will add to the value of any development in this
area.
Thank you.

Re: Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery
Dear Mary Lynne,
As you already know, we all can see the "asphalt jungle, "
the high rise apartments , the endless housing developments,
the office buildings and land where trees no longer exist
in our area.
We surely do not wish to eliminate the chosen sight of the
magestic herons and other habitat at the Blackriver Riparian
Forest and Heron Rookery by not insisting that adequate buff-
ering and trees be left for their protection and the visual
pleasure of many . . . do we?
Respectfully Subm' ted,

Re : Proposed development near the Renton Heron Rookery
and Blackriver Riparian Forest
Please use your influence to save the wonderful
natural treasure which. the City of Renton still has, not
only the unique heron rookery and habitat of other
waterfowl, but the ancient riparian forest which cannot be
replaced. I feel that the present EIS is totally inadequate
to protect this natural wonder, an urban Walden still intact.
I hope that the officials of the City of Renton will
realize that the natural environment is a priority item now
with most citizens. Renton will receive more benefit and
recognition nationally from preserving their rookery and
ancient forest than from the erection of a few more office
buildings .
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

We much enjoy the birds, including an occasional
heron, at Coulon Park and the Cedar River Trail
The Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rook—
ery would provide environmental and' educational
opportunities that should not be lost.

Re: Blackriver Riparian Forest and Heron Rookery
Dear Ms. Myer:
I am writing this letter in response to a notification from
the Citizens for Renton Wildlands Preservation group of the
planned development of the area adjacent to the above-
referenced heron rookery.
I am a great supporter of wildlife, and feel that too much
development is detrimental to our local wildlife populations
as well as man's ability to live in harmony with our fellow
creatures. We depend on one another for survival , and when
the wildlife goes, we go.
I feel placement of the buildings and parking areas, as
proposed, is too close to the heron rookery, and without
adequate buffering, will cause all the wildlife in the area
to be disturbed by the noise, pollution, and movement of
people and machines. If this occurred, it could cause a
disruption of nesting and reproduction cycles. I also feel
that the proposed paving of the area will eliminate habitats
for other wildlife, and local extinctions could occur. This
I feel would be a dreadful loss, one which is preventable.
Sincerely yours,
