PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND The purpose of the City of Renton Water System Plan is to document the current status and analyze the future needs of the water utility system. This current document brings the 2005 Plan up to date. The Plan documents changes to the City's water system, identifies required water system modifications, and outlines capital improvement projects to meet future water demands. The Plan has been developed to meet the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act and to comply with Washington State Department of Health as set forth in Chapter 246-290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). The Renton water system is large and, because of topography, complex in operation. The condition of the current system, as well as the need for improvements, has been identified in the Plan document.

ERC Report.doc EXHIBIT 1 ­000city of Pir ri TI r City of Renton 2012 Water System Plan Update Environmental Review (Non -Project) Proposal Summary February 2012 WATER SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Water System Plan Update (Plan) has been developed in accordance with Chapter 246- 290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), as presented in the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) regulations for Group A Public Water Systems. This plan is primarily an update to the City of Renton's (City's) 2005 Plan. The City of Renton water system identification number is 71850 L. The purpose of this Plan is to develop a long-term planning strategy for the City's water service area. Updated every six years, the Plan evaluates the existing system and its ability to meet the anticipated requirements for water source, quality, transmission, storage, and distribution over a twenty-year planning period. Water system improvement projects have been developed to meet the changing demands of regulatory impacts, and population growth, as well as infrastructure repair and replacement. The Plan also identifies planning level costs of the improvement projects and provides a financial plan for funding the projects. A State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist and determination of non -significance (DNS) has been prepared for this Plan. The City anticipates this Plan does not have probable significant adverse impacts on the environment in accordance with the DNS under WAC 197- 11-340(2). The SEPA Checklist and DNS are included in Appendix A. This Plan is required to meet state, county, and local requirements. The City will submit this plan to the DOH, the Department of Ecology (DOE), Icing County, adjacent utilities, and local governments as part of the Agency Review process. See Appendix B for the Comment Letters. The Adopting Resolution will be included in Appendix C, upon Plan approval by the City Council. Introduction The City is located within King County at the southeastern end of Lake Washington. Its water system provides service to an area of approximately 16 square miles that is largely coincident with the city limits. The water distribution system serves the valley floors and parts of five surrounding hills: West Hill, the Highlands, Scenic Hill (also known as Renton Hill), Talbot Hilt, and Rolling Hills. The City currently serves customers within an elevation range of 11 feet to 476 feet. The City's water system provides service to a full-time residential population of approximately 54,000, approximately 20,000 temporary and transient users, and approximately 28,000 regular non-residential users. In addition, the City supplies water on a wholesale basis to Skyway Water and Sewer District through a single metered connection. The City's retail water service area (RWSA) is bordered by nine adjacent water systems. It is unlikely that Renton's RWSA will change much in the future due to the geography of the surrounding areas and the fact that all of the surrounding areas are currently served by other water purveyors. The only possible change to the City's RWSA boundaries in the future is an adjustment to the boundaries to include the area "Future Retail Water Service" shown in Figure ES.1. Copies of service area agreements between the City and the adjacent water purveyors are included in Appendix D and summarized in Chapter 1.

The City's water distribution system consists of more than 1.6 million feet of pipeline. The water system facilities are shown in plan view in Figure ES.2. Chapter 2 provides a description of each facility and any major changes since the last plan update. Water supply sources include five wells (RW -1, RW -2, RW -3, PW -8, and PW -9) and one spring (Springbrook Springs) that are used for normal supply. The City continues to gather data for the Maplewood well field (Wells PW -11, PW -12, and PW -17) for the purpose of obtaining perfected water right certificates for the wells. In addition, the City is a wholesale customer of Seattle Public Utility (SPU). The City has six metered interties with the SPU transmission mains. As a result of Renton's topography and geography, the City has 15 hydraulically distinct pressure zones. Pumping throughout the water system is accomplished by nine online booster pump stations (BPS) and two standby BPS that are located throughout the City. Currently there are ten reservoirs in the system, strategically located to provide adequate equalizing and fire flow reserves for all pressure zones. Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are used to supply lower pressure zones from higher pressure zones that contain water storage reservoirs.

The City's future water demand is estimated for the RWSA based on current use and anticipated growth within the RWSA, utilizing data provided in the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC's) Population, Households, and Employment Forecast database. Chapter 3 summarizes the current and projected demographics; Appendix J provides a detailed description of the methodology used for the projections. In general, there is very little vacant land within the City's current RWSA. Therefore, the growth capacity within the City's RWSA is limited. The majority of future growth is projected to occur within the Regional Urban Center and the Sunset Area Community Planned Action redevelopment boundaries. The City's historical production data was used to calculate the Average Day Demand (ADD) and Maximum Day Demand (MDD) for each year from 2004 to 2009, as displayed in Table ES.1. This data was used to determine that the average MDD/ADD peaking factor is 1.83. Table ESA Historical Average and Maximum Day Demand Annual Average Day Max. Day Date of Max. Day/Avg.

Historical data from 2004 to 2009 indicate an average ERU water use of 171 gallons per day (gpd) for the City of Renton. Projected ERUs were determined using the growth projections described in Chapter 3. The projected ERUs do not include distribution system leakage, (DSL) miscellaneous water use, or wholesale customer demand. However, ADD and MDD values do include DSL, etc. The ADD and MDD projections were utilized in the system and supply analysis.

MDD = 1.83 x ADD (Skyway maximum day to average day peakingfactor is 3.34)0 DSL fluctuated between 15.8 percent and 20.2 percent of the total City production between 2004 and 2009, with an average of 17.8 percent. The demand projections in Table ES.2 assume that unaccounted-for water will continue to account for roughly 17.8 percent of the total City demand through year 2071. Chapter 4 includes a discussion of the actions to be taken by the City to help meet the ten percent leakage goal. Chapter 3 also presents a range of demand projections that was developed to evaluate the impacts of varying build -out growth assumptions, DSL, and impacts of climate change. Water Use Efficiency and Conservation Plan Chapter 4 presents the City's Conservation and Water Use Efficiency Plan for the next six years. During this period, the City will join the Saving Water Partnership, which will expand the breadth and depth of the City's conservation activities. February 13, 2012 - DRAFT ES -6 pw;)'CarolloA)ocuments/Clien VWA/Renton19595AODIDeDverableslES.docx The Water Use Efficiency (WUE) rule, which was introduced by the Washington State Legislature and came into effect in 2007, establishes that all municipal water suppliers must use water more efficiently in exchange for water right certainty and flexibility to help them meet future demand. The four fundamental elements to the WUE program are planning requirements, metering requirements, distribution leakage standard, and conservation planning and goal setting. Planning Requirements The WUE rule requires the collection of production and consumption data on a regular basis. These are utilized in this planning document to forecast future demand, describe water supply characteristics, to aid in water management decision making, to calculate DSL, evaluate the WUE program, and be submitted to the state in the annual WUE report. Metering As required by the Municipal Water Law, all the City's sources of supply, as well as interties and purchases, are metered with production meters. The City also provides service metering for its customers. All large service meters are tested annually and repaired as needed. Small service meters are repaired or replaced on an as -needed basis. Distribution System Leakage Municipal water suppliers must now meet a 10 percent or less DSL based on a 3 -year rolling average to comply with the WUE standard. Because the City's DSL exceeds 10 percent, a "Water Loss Control Action Plan" was developed (Appendix Q). Implementation of this plan, which began in 2008, establishes compliance with the WUE rule. An additional measure that should contribute to lowering of DSL is the City's implementation of an automatic meter read (AMR) program. A benefit of the AMR program will be to provide more time for operations and maintenance staff to perform maintenance on small, as well as large meters, on a more regular schedule. Conservation Plan Current water conservation planning is governed by the WUE Rule. As a municipal water supplier with more than 17,000 connections, the City is required to implement the five mandatory measures and either implement or evaluate the two others. Table ES.3 presents the mandatory measures and the City's status for compliance. February 13, 2012 - DRAFT ES -7 pw YCaroOWNcumems!ClientlVVNRenton18595ADO1DeliverableslES.docc Table ES.3 WUE Mandatory Measures Must implement the following WUE measures: Status Install production (source) meters Implemented Install consumption (service) meters Implemented Perform meter calibration Implemented / ongoing Implement a water loss control action plan to control leakage Implemented / ongoing if exceeds 10% Educate customers about water efficiency at least once per Implemented /ongoing year Must evaluate or implement these WUE measures: Evaluate rates that encourage water demand efficiency Implemented Evaluate reclamation Implemented ! reviewed Since 1990, conservation programming has included school outreach, a speakers' bureau, fairs, and promotion of regional programs. The addition of the 12 -month water consumption history on water bills was started in 1992. Since 1994, the City of Renton has employed increasingly complex tiered water pricing rates to encourage conservation. Other past and present conservation efforts are explained in Chapter 4. Policies, Criteria, and Standards The City manages its water utility and water system in accordance with established federal and state regulations for public water systems. City policies and standards described in Chapter 5 provide a consistent framework for the planning, design, construction, maintenance, operation, and service of the City's water system and water supply sources. The City's policies are grouped by major categories including: Service Area. Water Supply Planning and Management. Water Main Extension and Service Ownership. • System Reliability and Emergency Management Plan. Fire Protection. • Financial. Facilities. Organization. February 13, 2012 - ©RAFT ES -8 pw;lfCarellalDocuments)ClienUWA/Renton18595AOOADeliverahleslE5.docx Water Supply, Water Rights, and Water Quality Chapter 6 describes the City's sources of supply, including the condition and capacity of its sources, the water rights associated with its sources, and the water quality requirements for its sources. This chapter also discusses the City's interties as they are related to its source of supply and provides a summary of Renton's Wellhead Protection Program, Wafer Supply Renton's supply is derived from five water sources: the Cedar Valley Aquifer, Springbrook Springs, the Maplewood Aquifer, the recharge area for Well 5A, and SPU supply interties. For the City's primary supply, it maintains and operates six wells within the Cedar Valley Aquifer and three wells within the Maplewood Aquifer. Water Rights Renton has developed independent water sources in order to maintain greater control over the management and costs of its water supply. The City has 13 water right certificates and five permits. Copies of the City's water rights certificates and permits are in Appendix E. In issuing recent water rights certificates to the City, DOE has conditioned the permits with a limitation on the total withdrawals by the City of 14,809 acre-feet per year (AFY). The City does not anticipate applying for any new water rights or changes to its existing water rights. The installed pumping equipment has the capacity to deliver the water equal to the peak day requirements of the City's system through 2025. During the current planning period, the City anticipates that on infrequent occasions the demand will exceed the instantaneous withdrawal water rights of the Cedar River sources and Springbrook Springs. During these periods, the City plans to meet the demand by purchasing wholesale water from SPU. The City estimates that it will begin to exceed its annual water right of 14,809 acre-feet (AF) as soon as 2031 or as late as 2081. Wafer Quality The City's water quality at its supply sources, storage facilities, and within its distribution system satisfactorily meets state and federal requirements on a regular basis. Overall water quality within the system is excellent with only minor aesthetics problems caused by iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. During the last 21 years, the City has upgraded the treatment systems at its Springbrook Springs and all downtown wells. Gaseous chlorine or sodium hypochlorite (Maplewood wells) is added to all of the City's sources for disinfection, and sodium fluoride is also added to prevent dental caries 1 cavities. Within the next six years, the City plans to provide Wells EW - 3, PW -8 and PW -9, and Springbrook Springs with primary disinfection. The City has implemented a comprehensive and proactive water quality monitoring program. It includes monitoring for operations, regulatory monitoring to meet the requirements of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, and monitoring to manage the City's aquifers. This program is described in detail in Appendix H of this Plan. The City also has a Wellhead Protection February 13, 2012 - DRAFT ES -9 pvrlJCara[lolDocumentsIClienUWAIRenfanl8595AODWp verbles/ES.docx Plan, which was approved by DOH in December 1999. An updated Wellhead Protection Plan is included as Appendix L. Recommended Water Supply Improvements It is recommended that the City maintain and/or renew its existing intertie agreements with adjacent purveyors as well as pursue additional interties in order to improve reliability and supplement future peak demands. System reliability can be further improved by implementing security improvements and considering installation of new PRVs and other control valves when redevelopment occurs. Additional possible projects for improving supply reliability are aquifer recharge and the use of reclaimed water. King County plans to perform a countywide reclaimed water feasibility study, in which the City will participate, to identify potential reclaimed water users. System Analysis The City's water distribution system was evaluated for deficiencies in the storage facilities, pump stations, and pipelines. The system analysis yielded a number of recommended improvements including pump station, reservoir, pipeline, and pressure zone improvements, as summarized in Chapter 7. Projects to address deficiencies found in the year 2017 are of higher priority than those to address deficiencies in the year 2031. Operations and Maintenance A detailed review of the City's water system operation and maintenance program was performed. The City's water system is maintenance -intensive, with its facilities for pumping, water quality control, and emergency power generation. Chapter 8 describes water system management, operator certification, system operation, the emergency response program, safety procedures, the customer complaint response program, and record keeping and reporting. Capital: Improvements Plan Chapter 9 summarizes planned and future water system improvement projects and programs that are recommended in other chapters of this Plan and from other feasibility studies for the City. The improvements are necessary to keep the system in compliance with all federal and state regulations as well as to meet future water demand due to population growth within the City's RWSA. Capital projects are generally categorized into water supply, water quality and treatment, storage facilities, pump stations, water main rehabilitation and replacement, major maintenance, and regulatory compliance programs. Projects identified in the current CIP document are summarized in Tables ESA and ES.5.

The Water Utility operates as an enterprise fund and as such, it must be self-sustaining. Water utility funds are accounted for and budgeted separately, but are managed as a system with other City's enterprises funds in accordance with the City's financial management policies_ The City accounts for its water revenues and other funding sources in two main separate funds. Fund 405 is the Operating Fund for the City's Water Utility. Fund 425 is the Construction Fund for the Water Utility for the design, construction, and project management of capital improvement projects. The Finance Department maintains the financial records for the Water Utility. Table ES.6 presents a projection of annual utility revenues, expenses, and fund balances for the next 10 years (2011-2020). Transfers to the capital improvement fund included in Table ES.6 represent anticipated funding needs for projects in the current (2011-2016) CIP. These funds will be updated to reflect the recommendations cited in this plan for future budget and rate projections.

City of, ri City of Renton 2012 Water System Plan Update Environmental Review (Non -Project) Proposal Summary February 2012 WATER SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Water System Plan Update (Plan) has been developed in accordance with Chapter 246- 290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), as presented in the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) regulations for Group A Public Water Systems. This plan is primarily an update to the City of Renton's (City's) 2005 Plan_ The City of Renton water system identification number is 71850 L. The purpose of this Plan is to develop a long-term planning strategy for the City's water service area. Updated every six years, the Plan evaluates the existing system and its ability to meet the anticipated requirements for water source, quality, transmission, storage, and distribution over a twenty-year planning period. Water system improvement projects have been developed to meet the changing demands of regulatory impacts, and population growth, as well as infrastructure repair and replacement. The Plan also identifies planning level costs of the improvement projects and provides a financial plan for funding the projects. A State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist and determination of non -significance (DNS) has been prepared for this Plan. The City anticipates this Plan does not have probable significant adverse impacts on the environment in accordance with the DNS under WAC 197- 11-340(2). The SEPA Checklist and DNS are included in Appendix A. This Plan is required to meet state, county, and local requirements. The City will submit this plan to the DOH, the Department of Ecology (DOE), King County, adjacent utilities, and local governments as part of the Agency Review process. See Appendix B for the Comment Letters. The Adopting Resolution will be included in Appendix C, upon Plan approval by the City Council. Introduction The City is located within King County at the southeastern end of Lake Washington. Its water system provides service to an area of approximately 16 square miles that is largely coincident with the city limits. The water distribution system serves the valley floors and parts of five surrounding hills: West Hill, the Highlands, Scenic Hill (also known as Renton Hill), Talbot Hill, and Rolling Hills. The City currently serves customers within an elevation range of 11 feet to 476 feet. The City's water system provides service to a full-time residential population of approximately 54,000, approximately 20,000 temporary and transient users, and approximately 28,000 regular non-residential users. In addition, the City supplies water on a wholesale basis to Skyway Water and Sewer District through a single metered connection. The City's retail water service area (RWSA) is bordered by nine adjacent water systems. It is unlikely that Renton's RWSA will change much in the future due to the geography of the surrounding areas and the fact that all of the surrounding areas are currently served by other water purveyors. The only possible change to the City's RWSA boundaries in the future is an adjustment to the boundaries to include the area "Future Retail Water Service" shown in Figure ES.1. Copies of service area agreements between the City and the adjacent water purveyors are included in Appendix D and summarized in Chapter 1.

The City's water distribution system consists of more than 1.6 million feet of pipeline. The water system facilities are shown in plan view in Figure ES.2. Chapter 2 provides a description of each facility and any major changes since the last plan update. Water supply sources include five wells (RW -1, RW -2, RW -3, PW -8, and PW -9) and one spring (Springbrook Springs) that are used for normal supply. The City continues to gather data for the Maplewood well field (Wells PW -11, PW -11 2, and PW -17) for the purpose of obtaining perfected water right certificates for the wells. In addition, the City is a wholesale customer of Seattle Public Utility (SPU). The City has six metered interties with the SPU transmission mains. As a result of Renton's topography and geography, the City has 16 hydraulically distinct pressure zones. Pumping throughout the water system is accomplished by nine online booster pump stations (BPS) and two standby BPS that are located throughout the City. Currently there are ten reservoirs in the system, strategically located to provide adequate equalizing and fire flow reserves for all pressure zones. Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are used to supply lower pressure zones from higher pressure zones that contain water storage reservoirs. The City has ten interties and three additional emergency interties.

The City's future water demand is estimated for the RWSA based on current use and anticipated growth within the RWSA, utilizing data provided in the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC's) Population, Households, and Employment Forecast database. Chapter 3 summarizes the current and projected demographics; Appendix J provides a detailed description of the methodology used for the projections. In general, there is very little vacant land within the City's current RWSA. Therefore, the growth capacity within the City's RWSA is limited. The majority of future growth is projected to occur within the Regional Urban Center and the Sunset Area Community Planned Action redevelopment boundaries. The City's historical production data was used to calculate the Average Day Demand (ADD) and Maximum Day Demand (MDD) for each year from 2004 to 2009, as displayed in Table ES.1.

DSL fluctuated between 15.8 percent and 20.2 percent of the total City production between 2004 and 2009, with an average of 17.8 percent. The demand projections in Table ES.2 assume that unaccounted-for water will continue to account for roughly 17.8 percent of the total City demand through year 2071. Chapter 4 includes a discussion of the actions to be taken by the City to help meet the ten percent leakage goal. Chapter 3 also presents a range of demand projections that was developed to evaluate the impacts of varying build -out growth assumptions, DSL, and impacts of climate change. Water Use Efficiency and Conservation Pian Chapter 4 presents the City's Conservation and Water Use Efficiency Plan for the next six years. During this period, the City will join the Saving Water Partnership, which will expand the breadth and depth of the City's conservation activities.

The four fundamental elements to the WUE program are planning requirements, metering requirements, distribution leakage standard, and conservation planning and goal setting. Planning Requirements The WUE rule requires the collection of production and consumption data on a regular basis. These are utilized in this planning document to forecast future demand, describe water supply characteristics, to aid in water management decision making, to calculate DSL, evaluate the WUE program, and be submitted to the state in the annual WUE report. Metering As required by the Municipal Water Law, all the City's sources of supply, as well as interties and purchases, are metered with production meters. The City also provides service metering for its customers. All large service meters are tested annually and repaired as needed. Small service meters are repaired or replaced on an as -needed basis. Distribution System Leakage Municipal water suppliers must now meet a 10 percent or less DSL based on a 3 -year rolling average to comply with the WUE standard. Because the City's DSL exceeds 10 percent, a "Water Loss Control Action Plan" was developed (Appendix Q). Implementation of this plan, which began in 2008, establishes compliance with the WUE rule. An additional measure that should contribute to lowering of DSL is the City's implementation of an automatic meter read (AMR) program. A benefit of the AMR program will be to provide more time for operations and maintenance staff to perform maintenance on small, as well as large meters, on a more regular schedule. Conservation Plan Current water conservation planning is governed by the WUE Rule. As a municipal water supplier with more than 17,000 connections, the City is required to implement the five mandatory measures and either implement or evaluate the two others. Table ES.3 presents the mandatory measures and the City's status for compliance.

The addition of the 12 -month water consumption history on water bills was started in 1992. Since 1994, the City of Renton has employed increasingly complex tiered water pricing rates to encourage conservation. Other past and present conservation efforts are explained in Chapter 4. Policies, Criteria, and Standards The City manages its water utility and water system in accordance with established federal and state regulations for public water systems. City policies and standards described in Chapter 5 provide a consistent framework for the planning, design, construction, maintenance, operation, and service of the City's water system and water supply sources. The City's policies are grouped by major categories including: Service Area. • Water Supply Planning and Management. • Water Main Extension and Service Ownership. • System Reliability and Emergency Management Plan. • Fire Protection. • Financial. Facilities. • Organization. February 13, 2012 - DRAFT ES -8 pw:IlCarollolDocumentslClientlWA/Rentonl8595Aa0laeliverableslES.dock Water Supply, Water Rights, and Water Quality Chapter 6 describes the City's sources of supply, including the condition and capacity of its sources, the water rights associated with its sources, and the water quality requirements for its sources. This chapter also discusses the City's interties as they are related to its source of supply and provides a summary of Renton's Wellhead Protection Program. Water Supply Renton's supply is derived from five water sources: the Cedar Valley Aquifer, Springbrook Springs, the Maplewood Aquifer, the recharge area for Well 5A, and SPU supply interties. For the City's primary supply, it maintains and operates six wells within the Cedar Valley Aquifer and three wells within the Maplewood Aquifer. Wafer Rights Renton has developed independent water sources in order to maintain greater control over the management and costs of its water supply. The City has 13 water right certificates and five permits. Copies of the City's water rights certificates and permits are in Appendix E. In issuing recent water rights certificates to the City, DOE has conditioned the permits with a limitation on the total withdrawals by the City of 14,809 acre-feet per year (AFY). The City does not anticipate applying for any new water rights or changes to its existing water rights. The installed pumping equipment has the capacity to deliver the water equal to the peak day requirements of the City's system through 2025. During the current planning period, the City anticipates that on infrequent occasions the demand will exceed the instantaneous withdrawal water rights of the Cedar River sources and Springbrook Springs. During these periods, the City plans to meet the demand by purchasing wholesale water from SPU. The City estimates that it will begin to exceed its annual water right of 14,809 acre-feet (AF) as soon as 2031 or as late as 2081. Water Quality The City's water quality at its supply sources, storage facilities, and within its distribution system satisfactorily meets state and federal requirements on a regular basis. Overall water duality within the system is excellent with only minor aesthetics problems caused by iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. During the last 21 years, the City has upgraded the treatment systems at its Springbrook Springs and all downtown wells. Gaseous chlorine or sodium hypochlorite (Maplewood wells) is added to all of the City's sources for disinfection, and sodium fluoride is also added to prevent dental caries ! cavities. Within the next six years, the City plans to provide Wells EW - 3, PW -8 and PW -9, and Springbrook Springs with primary disinfection. The City has implemented a comprehensive and proactive water quality monitoring program. It includes monitoring for operations, regulatory monitoring to meet the requirements of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, and monitoring to manage the City's aquifers. This program is described in detail in Appendix H of this Plan. The City also has a Wellhead Protection February 13, 2012 - DRAFT ES -9 pw,llCaroilolDocumenlslCllentlWAlRenlonlB595A001DeliverableslES.docx Plan, which was approved by DOH in December 1999. An updated Wellhead Protection Plan is included as Appendix L. Recommended Water Supply Improvements It is recommended that the City maintain and/or renew its existing intertie agreements with adjacent purveyors as well as pursue additional interties in order to improve reliability and supplement future peak demands. System reliability can be further improved by implementing security improvements and considering installation of new PRVs and other control valves when redevelopment occurs. Additional possible projects for improving supply reliability are aquifer recharge and the use of reclaimed water. King County plans to perform a countywide reclaimed water feasibility study, in which the City will participate, to identify potential reclaimed water users. System Analysis The City's water distribution system was evaluated for deficiencies in the storage facilities, pump stations, and pipelines. The system analysis yielded a number of recommended improvements including pump station, reservoir, pipeline, and pressure zone improvements, as summarized in Chapter 7. Projects to address deficiencies found in the year 2017 are of higher priority than those to address deficiencies in the year 2031. Operations and Maintenance A detailed review of the City's water system operation and maintenance program was performed. The City's water system is maintenance -intensive, with its facilities for pumping, water quality control, and emergency power generation. Chapter 8 describes water system management, operator certification, system operation, the emergency response program, safety procedures, the customer complaint response program, and record keeping and reporting. Capital Improvements Plan Chapter 9 summarizes planned and future water system improvement projects and programs that are recommended in other chapters of this Plan and from other feasibility studies for the City. The improvements are necessary to keep the system in compliance with all federal and state regulations as well as to meet future water demand due to population growth within the City's RWSA. Capital projects are generally categorized into water supply, water quality and treatment, storage facilities, pump stations, water main rehabilitation and replacement, major maintenance, and regulatory compliance programs. Projects identified in the current CIP document are summarized in Tables ESA and ES.5.

The Water Utility operates as an enterprise fund and as such, it must be self-sustaining. Water utility funds are accounted for and budgeted separately, but are managed as a system with other City's enterprises funds in accordance with the City's financial management policies. The City accounts for its water revenues and other funding sources in two main separate funds. Fund 405 is the Operating Fund for the City's Water Utility. Fund 425 is the Construction Fund for the Water Utility for the design, construction, and project management of capital improvement projects. The Finance Department maintains the financial records for the Water Utility. Table ES.6 presents a projection of annual utility revenues, expenses, and fund balances for the next 10 years (2011-2020). Transfers to the capital improvement fund included in Table ES.6 represent anticipated funding needs for projects in the current (2011-2016) CIP. These funds will be updated to reflect the recommendations cited in this plan for future budget and rate projections.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs. You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions.) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The proposed non -project action consists of the adoption of the City of Renton 2012 Water System Plan Update, which will not itself increase discharge to water or air. The elements of the plan have the potential to result in the discharges to water and air. For example, construction projects identified in the plan have the potential to result in increased exhaust from construction equipment and dust from exposed soils. Projects, which are subject to environmental review, will be evaluated for potential impacts and corresponding mitigation measures prior to implementation. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: No specific mitigation is proposed for the plan adoption. The potential for discharge to air or water will be minimized through the use of best management practices and through the design and construction and operation consistent with the applicable local, state and federal laws. Proposed projects will be reviewed and addressed on an individual basis by appropriate agencies prior to implementation. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? The plan adoption will not affect any of these. It is not anticipated that any of the proposed projects within the plan will have an impact upon fish or other wildlife. Projects, which are subject to environmental review, will be evaluated for potential impacts and corresponding mitigation measures prior to implementation. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: No such measures are proposed for the plan adoption. Proposed projects will be reviewed on an individual basis and addressed by the appropriate agencies as they commence. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? Depletion of energy or natural resources are not anticipated to result from the implementation of the plan's programs and projects. Best practices will be used in the design, construction and operations of the infrastructure proposed -17- by the plan. /specific projects will be subject to individual review to establish energy and natural resources impact. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: The water utility maximizes the potential for gravity flow whenever possible. The plan includes a water use efficiency program intended to provide significant water resource savings over time. The plan's other programs and projects may result in energy conservation features such as improvements to existing pump stations and control strategies to increase efficiency. The potential conservation from these actions is currently not quantifiable. Proposed projects will be reviewed on an individual basis and addressed by the appropriate agencies as they commence. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, flood plains, or prime farmlands? The proposed non -project action consists of the adoption of the water system plan update and is not anticipated to have any such effects. While programs and projects identified in the plan may occur in the immediate vicinity of sensitive areas, the potential impacts from these actions are currently unknown. Projects that impact sensitive areas will need to comply with city policies and regulations regarding the protection of these resources. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: The plan does not increase the ability of any person, company or agency to develop projects that would affect sensitive areas. Proposed projects will be reviewed on an individual basis and addressed by appropriate agencies prior to implementation. Conformance with the applicable local, state and federal guidelines and regulations would be required. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The Water System Plan does not allow for or encourage uses incompatible with existing plans. Specific projects will be subject to individual environmental review before implementation. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Proposed projects will be reviewed on an individual basis and addressed by appropriate agencies prior to implementation. Conformance with the applicable local, state and federal guidelines and regulations would be required. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? Adoption of the Water System Plan will not increase the demand for transportation, public services or utilities and the plan itself is partly in response to such population growth. -1a- Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: The water plan is part of the City's response to this growth. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The 2012 City of Renton Water System Plan Update does not conflict with any known environmental laws.
