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. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. -1 - 06109 CADocuments and Settings\Lbellach.RENTONMesktoplPRNA Plan Enviro Checklist envchlstrev.doc A.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, pians 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? It is unlikely that the proposals would have any effect on the above environmental issues. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: New development would be required to comply with the City's development regulations. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? The proposed Plan would have no effect on plants, animals, fish, or marine life as a direct consequence of this non -project proposal. All specific development would be required to comply with all land use, building, and development regulations with negative impacts to plants, animals, fish, and marine life being addressed and mitigated at the time of proposal. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: None at this non -project level. Recommendations include management plans for natural areas and acquisition of additional natural areas to add to the City's inventory of park land. These recommendations would protect or conserve plants, animals, and fish if implemented. Specific development must comply with City of Renton regulations and with Renton's Critical Areas Ordinance. Any measures needed in this regard will be implemented at the project level review. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The proposed non -project action will not deplete energy or natural resources. Future project level development may impact energy or natural resources slightly but will not deplete them. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None are proposed at this non -project action stage. The Plan provides recommendations to maintain existing natural resources and acquire additional natural area land. If implemented these recommendations would conserve energy and natural resources. -12- 06/09 C:Qocuments and 5ettingslLbetlach.RENTONkDesktop\PRNA Plan Enviro Checklist envchlstrev.doc 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 changes would likely not use or affect environmentally sensitive areas. At such time that development is proposed, applicants will be subject to City of Renton critical area regulations and development standards that are designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: None are proposed at this non -project action stage. The Plan provides recommendations to maintain existing natural resources and acquire additional natural area land, preserve and maintain historical structures located in the existing parks system, and focuses on access to water including May Creek, the Cedar River and take Washington. If implemented these recommendations would protect such resources. 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 proposed changes would likely have no affect land and shoreline use. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: None. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? Additional demands of transportation that may be created by some development proposals will be evaluated at the time of a project proposal. The City is currently served by public transportation. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The proposal will not conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for protection of the environment. -13- 06109 CADocuments and Settings\Lbetlach.RENTQNIDesktop\PRNA Plan Enviro Cheokiist envchlstrev.doc SIGNATURE I, the undersigned, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that to the best of my knowledge the above information is true, correct, and complete.
