Executive Summary
Soundview Consultants LLC was hired by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. and Quadrant
Homes (Applicant) to delineate and assess wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and/or other
potentially-regulated aquatic features on an approximately 12.68-acre site located within the City of
Renton, Washington. The subject property consists of eight parcels (King County Tax Parcel
Numbers 1523059043, 1523059066, 1523059067, 1523059093, 1523059100, 1523059170,
1523059201,1523059221) located in the Northwest '/. of the Southeast '/. of Section 15, Township
23 North, Range 05 East, W.M. The areas incorporated in this assessment include both the subject
property and surrounding offsite areas located within approximately 115 feet of the subject property.
The proposed project (Copperwood Residential Plat) will provide 47 additional single-family
residential units, transportation improvements, and associated infrastructure within the City of
Renton.
The subject property was investigated for the presence of potentially regulated wetlands, drainages,
fish and wildlife habitat, and/or priority species on April 2, 2014 and re-inspected in June 2014. No
potentially regulated wetlands were found onsite. One stream (Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303)
was identified on the eastern side of the property. The City of Renton identifies l\Iaplewood Creek
Tributary 0303 as a Class 3 non-salmonid-bearing perennial stream. In the northern portion of the
property, the stream is low-gtadient with gently-sloping banks; however, in the southern portion of
the property, the channel is located in a ravine with steeply sloped banks and several natural fish
passage barriers. The ravine associated with the stream corridor contain both Sensitive and
Protected slopes as classified by the City of Renton. An artificially constructed swale with emergent
wetland vegetation was also found onsite draining into Maplewood Creek Tributaty 0303. The swale
is documented to have been constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature and is not likely
regulated by the City of Renton per Renton Municipal Code Sections 4-11-230 and 4-3-050 L, nor is
it likely regulated by the Washington State Department of Ecology under RCW 90.48 or
36.70A.030(21). Both of these features were addressed in the original Wetland, Fish and Wildlife
Habitat Assessment Report prepared for the project dated April 21, 2014. However, an
independent electro fishing study, previously undisclosed to Soundview Consultants LLC and the
Applicant, identified fishes below a natural fish passage barrier in the southeast corner of the
property classifying this onsite stream reach as a Class 2 salmonid-bearing stream. Following
disclosure of the prior independent study, a site visit was conducted to verify the accuracy of this
assessment. Soundview Consultants LLC's supplemental site visit identified salmonids below an
onsite natural fish passage barrier. Therefore, a small portion of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 in
the southeast corner of the site must be reclassified as a Class 2 salmon-bearing stream, and minor
revisions to the buffer management recommendations are necessary to address increased buffer
reguirements.
The revised residential plat still includes 47 single-family residences, new access roads, one
s!ormwater tract, extensive open space tracts, and associated infrastructure, and direct impacts to the
stream will be entirely avoided. In addition, proposed impacts to stream buffer are minimal and
limited to placement of a treated stormwater outfall, minor grading, a pervious walking trail, buffer
reductions, and buffer enhancement actions. Impacts to the buffer will be mitigated through buffer
averaging and non-compensatory buffer enhancement actions.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Soundview Consultants LLC was hired by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. and Quadrant
Homes (Applicant) to delineate and assess wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and other potentially-
regulated aquatic features within or adjacent to the proposed Copperwood Residential Plat. The
proposed project is located at 5001 Southeast 2nd Place within the City of Renton, Washington. The
subject property is situated in the Northwest '/. of the Southeast '/. of Section 15, Township 23
North, Range 05 East, W.M. (King County Tax Parcel Numbers 1523059043, 1523059066,
1523059067,1523059093,1523059100, 1523059170, 1523059201, and 1523059221).
The subject property and surrounding areas within 115 feet of the subject property were investigated
for the presence of potentially regulated wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife habitat, and! or priority
species in April of 2014 and re-inspected in June of 2014. An additional supplementary site visit was
conducted following disclosure of an old electro fishing survey (Cedarock Consultants, Inc., 2006)
previously unknown to Soundview Consultants LLC and the Applicant. The site investigations
identified one regulated stream and one non-regulated, artificially constructed swale. The stream is
referred to as Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 by the Ciry of Renton. No impacts are proposed to
the stream, and only minor impacts are proposed to the stream buffer, which will be addressed by
buffer averaging and enhancement actions.
The purpose of this wetland and fish and wildlife habitat assessment is to identify and assess the
presence of wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and! or priority species on or near the subject
property and to identify management recommendations for the proposed project. This report
includes conclusions and recommendations regarding:
• Site description, project description, and area of assessment;
• Background research and identification of potentially regulated critical areas in the viciniry of
the proposed project;
• Identification, delineation, and assessment of regulated wetlands and water bodies;
• Identification and assessment of fish and wildlife habitat and! or prioriry species located on
or near the subject properry;
• Standard buffer recommendations, building setbacks, and development limitations;
• Proposed buffer reductions and temporary impacts;
• Existing site maps detailing identified critical areas, standard buffers, proposed buffer
modifications, and non-compensatory mitigation actions, and
• Long term habitat management recommendations and impact minimization measures.

2.2 Project Description
The Applicant proposes a single-family residential development within the approximately 12.68-acre
subject property. The proposed project includes demolition of all but one of the existing residences,
removal of scrap and debris associated with the previous residential land use, clearing and grading
for construction of approximately 47 residential housing units with driveways, parking areas,
associated utilities and infrastructure, and buffer reduction, averaging, and enhancement actions.
The proposed project will also provide fully engineered stormwater facilities to the City of Renton's
standards. The southwest facilities will require placement of a stormwater outfall and pervious
walking trail along with minor grading actions within the stream buffer and minor buffer reduction
via buffer averaging in the southeast corner of the site. Any impacts associated with the installation
of this outfall, low-impact trail, minor grading, and buffer averaging will be mitigated for through
non-compensatory enhancement actions. For further details, Appendix C provides a site plan of the
proposed project and mitigation details.

Chapter 3. Methods
The methods used to comply with Federal, State, and local assessment requirements are detailed
below. Please see Appendix A for further details of methods and tools used to prepare the report.
Wetlands, streams, and other potentially regulated fish and wildlife habitat within the subject
property and offsite areas within 115 feet of the subject property were investigated, and potentially
regulated critical areas were delineated and assessed by qualified Soundview Consultants LLC staff
on April 2, 2014. A follow up site inspection was also conducted by Soundview Consultant's
Principal Scientist on April 3, 2014 to verify staff findings. Publicly available background data was
queried for documented wetlands, streams, and/or fish and wildlife habitat on or near the site,
including the U.S. Geographic Survey (USGS) topographic map, the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), US Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), King County GIS data (iMap), City of Renton GIS data, local
precipitation data (NOAA), and various orthophotographic resources. Graphics and maps detailing
background data such as site topography, soils, vegetative buffers, basin area, and critical areas
inventories are provided in Appendix B.
Potential wetland boundaries were determined using the routine approach described in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE, 1987) as modified by
the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western
Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0) (USACE, 2010). Methods described in the
Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual were not used since this document
has been retired by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) in favor of the updated
USACE methods. Ordinary High Water (OH\'V') determinations were determined using Ecology's
method as detailed in determining the Ordinary High Water Mark on Streams in Washington State
(Olson, 2008); definitions provided in RCW 77.55.011 (11) and WAC 220.110.020 (69); and
USACE's Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05 Ordinary High Water Mark Identification (USACE
2005).
Potential wetland, stream, and drainage boundaries and stormwater features were inspected,
delineated, and surveyed over several dates in April 2014. The field assessment was performed by
Jim Carsner, Professional \,«erland Scientist; Jeremy Downs, Principal Scientist and Environmental
Planner; and Hannah Blackstock, Staff Scientist. To mark the boundary between potential wetlands
and uplands, orange surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied to vegetation or
wood lath along the wetland boundary. To mark the points where data was c'ollected, pink
surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied at each sampling location. To mark the
boundaries of streams and drainages, blue surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied
to vegetation or striped flagging from prior assessments was verified. The location of each stream
and drainage boundary flag and data plot was surveyed by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc.
The locations and features of identified features are described in Chapter 5, and shown on plan
sheets in Appendix C.
Following disclosure of a previously unknown independent electro fishing survey performed on
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 (Cedarock Consultants, Inc., 2006), two qualified Soundview
Consultants LLC Staff Scientists verified the location of the identified natural fish passage barriers

Chapter 4. Background
4.2 Topography and Drainage Basin
The surveyed topography of the site shows the landform as generally flat with a slight rise in the
westernmost portion of the site and generally sloping toward the stream in the east. The banks of
the stream are shallow with low-gradient banks in the north but transitions into a steep ravine as it
nears the southern property boundary. A King County Topographic map is provided in
Appendix B 1.
4.3 Local and National Wetland Inventories
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (U.SF\'(1S) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map does not
identify any wetlands or streams on or near the subject property. The City of Renton's GIS maps
also do not identify wetlands on or near the subject property; however, the City identifies the stream
as a Class 3 waterbody on the subject property. Prior to the stream entering the subject property to
the north, it is identified as Class 4 water. The NWI and City of Renton maps are provided in
Appendix B2 and B3, respectively.
4.4 Vegetation
The majority of the property is cleared and developed with single-family residences. Most of the
vegetated areas are dominated by landscaped areas and mowed lawn. The area containing the stream
corridor (King County Parcel Number 1523059067) is the only undeveloped portion of the subject
property.
4.5 Soils
The NRCS Soil Survey of King County identified one soil series, Alderwood !,'tavelly sandy loam, 6
to 15 percent slopes, on the subject property. A soil map is provided in Appendix B4.
Alderwood (AgC) series soils are considered non-hydric except for inclusions of Bellingham,
Norma, Tukwila, and Shalear that are associated with small depressions. A1derwood soils arc
described as moderately well drained soils on undulating to hilly landforms that have a dense, very
slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. A typical pedon of the A1derwood (AgC)
series is: 0 inch to 2 inches of a very dark brown gravelly sandy loam (lOYR 2/2); 2 inches to 12
inches of a dark brown gravelly sandy loam (10YR 4/3); 12 inches to 27 inches of a grayish-brown
gravelly sandy loam (2.5Y 5/2) with light olive brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6); and 27 inches to 60 inches
of a grayish-brown till (2.5Y 5/2) with light olive brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6) and with light olive
brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6).
4.6 Priority Habitats and Species
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDF\'V) Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) maps
and data identify a Biodiversity Area and Corridor (Cedar River Valley Open Space Areas) onsite,
primarily located in the riparian corridor associated with the stream. WDFW's interactive data map
(Salmonscape) identifies no streams with fish presence within 300 feet of the subject property. No

priority habitats or Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive plant or animal species were identified
during this investigation. The PHS and SalmonScape maps are provided in Appendix B5 and B6,
respectively.
4.7 Precipitation
Precipitation data was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) weather station at SeaTac Airport in order to obtain percent of normal precipitation during
and preceding the investigation. A summary of data collected is provided in Table 1.
Table 1. Precipitation Surnrnary1

.4/2/14 0.00 0.00 1.57 1.75 0 26.25 92% .. Dam obtained from NOAA weather station at SeaTac Airpon . (http. (Iwww weathcr goy/cljrn;ucliodrx php?wfq-sew).
2. PreCIpitatiOn for the month IS the same as for the Year-tn-Date.
3. Water Year is precipitation from October 1, 2013.
4. Percent of normal is shown as for the day/for the year.
The precipitation data indicates approximately 1.75 inches of precipitation fell within the two weeks
prior to the last visit and precipitation was nearly normal (92 percent of normal) for the water year.
However, these me tries do not reflect the extremely high rainfall encountered during March 2014,
which was 9.44 inches and 253% above normal. In fact, March of 2014 was the wettest March on
record for the SeaTac record, surpassing the old record of 8.40 inches (National Weather Service,
2014). The precipitation data suggests that daily rain events may have caused areas not normally wet
to become sarurated and/or inundated at the time of the site investigation, and such conditions were
considered in making professional wetland boundary determinations.
4.8 Prior Electrofishing Survey
A previous electro fishing survey was conducted by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. in 2006. This survey
documented fish presence in the East Fork of Maplewood Creek, which corresponds to the onsite
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 herein. However, this prior assessment also identified a natural
fish passage barrier in the southeastern porrion of the project site. Two adult cutthroat trout and six
fry were documented during this electrofishing survey just below the plateau that creates the
lowermost natural fish passage barrier. Cedarock Consultants, Inc. recommended that the reach
downstream of the narural fish passage barrier be classified as a Class 2 stream and the upstream
reach be classified as a Class 3 stream per RMC Section 4-3-050 L.5. A map provided in this prior
survey report is included in Appendix B7.

Chapter 5. Results
5.1 Drainages
The site investigation identified two aquatic features onsite, including one regulated stream
(Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303) and one non-regulated, artificially constructed swale.
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 runs north to south in the easternmost parcel on the subject
property (King County Parcel Number 1523059067). The constructed swale runs west to east and
drains to the stream.
5.1.1 Constructed Swale
The artificially constructed swale originates from a series of curtain drains and catch basins draining
adjacent areas and containing multiple single-family residences and discharges to an outfall located
above Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. The constructed swale exhibited some wetland
characteristics, including hydrophytic vegetation (reed canarygrass) due to lack of regular
maintenance on the drainage channel; however, the swale is documented as an artificial drainage
feature constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature as part of a stormwater and
groundwater management plan for the site. Therefore, the swale does not meet wetland criteria as
defined by Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-11-230 and 4-3-050 M and should not be regulated as a
wetland feature or stream. The feature also does not meet RC\X' 90.48 or 36.70A.030(21) criteria for
regulation as a wetland or stream by the State of Washington.
The artificially constructed swale is documented to be of anthropogenic origin where no naturally
derived channel had previously existed, is known to collect and convey surface water and/or
groundwater from adjacent developed areas, and is non-fish bearing; therefore, the swale meets the
criteria of a non-regulated, Class 5 waterbody under RMC 4-3-050 L.1.a.v. Class 5 waterbodies are
exempt from all regulations under RMC 4-3-050 L. The outfall for this constructed swale would be
treated similarly; however, the outfall is located in the buffer for Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303.
This outfall can be removed as part of the buffer enhancement plan detailed in Chapter 7 of this
report. A summary of the constructed swale is provided in Table 2 below:

5.1.2 Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303
The onsite tributary to Maplewood Creek (0303) originates offsite in developed residential areas to
the northeast and northwest of the subject property and discharges onto the subject property
through a culvert under SE 2"" Place. Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 flows southerly across the
property in a broad, low-flow channel with a low-gradient riparian corridor in the north with
increasingly steep slopes adjacent to the channel as it enters a ravine and approaches the southern
boundary. The stream leaves the subject property and turns west to enter Maplewood Creek,
approximately 2,000 feet to the south and west of the property. Observed flows indicated that the
onsite portion of the tributary is likely perennial; however, precipitation for March was above
normal, and there is a possibility that the strea m may be seasonal.
North of the culvert under SE 2'· Place, the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is identified as a
Class 4 waterbody by the City of Renton; however, once the stream enters the property from the
north, the City of Renton identifies the tributary as a Class 3 waterbody. A report disclosed to
Soundview Consultants LLC and the Applicant by the City of Renton in June of 2014 identifies a
small onsite section of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 as a Class 2 waterbody with the rest of the
onsite stream being Class 3. A clear and distinct natural fish passage barrier is located just up strea m
of where salmonid fry and cutthroat trout were detected by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. in 2006 . This
Class 2 designation in the lowermost reach of the stream was confirmed by Soundview Consultants
LLC Staff Scientists on July 1,2014.
The steep gradients and several natural fish passage barriers within the onsite stream reach between
the Class 2 and Class 3 waters, including subsurface flows and a 10 -foot vertical drop, indicate that
salmonids do not and cannot migrate up the tributary and are not likely present upstream of where
salmonids were detected.

Of the two drainage features, only Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is required to have a buffer
under RMC 4-3-050 L.5.a.i.(b). The artificially constructed drainage swale is identified as a Class 5
waterbody, as described above, and is not likely regulated by the City of Renton or other State and
Federal agencies; therefore, no buffer is required for this constructed feature .
As a Class 2 and Class 3 stream, the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 requires a buffer width of 100
feet and 75 feet, respectively. Onsite, the buffer consists of deciduous riparian forest with a canopy
dominated by black cottonwood and red alder. Some areas of the understory include native shrubs,
primarily salmonberry, but many areas are dominated by Himalayan blackberry and other non-native
invasive species. Portions of the offsite buffer are modified with moderate to high density
development on adjacent properties to the east. In addition, a gravel driveway and many piles of
yard waste and debris are located in onsite areas of the western portion of the buffer associated with
adjacent single-family residences and maintained neighboring yards. With buffer averaging and
minor buffer enhancement and restoration measures, the modified Class 2 and 75-foot Class 3
buffers will be more than adequate to protect stream functions.

Chapter 6. Regulatory Considerations
The proposed project is located in the City of Renton. The site investigation identified one
regulated stream and one non-regulated swale on the property. No other potentially regulated
wetlands, streams, or other fish and wildlife habitat were identified on or within 115 feet of the
subject property. The buffer area of the onsite stream is somewhat degraded in the north, being
vegetated by Himalayan blackberry and other invasive species and containing a substantial number
of yard waste and debris piles and a gravel driveway. Local, State, and Federal regulatory implications
are addressed below:
6.1 Local and State Requirements
The constructed swale exhibited some wetland characteristics, inclurling hydrophytic vegetation
(reed canarygrass) due to lack of regular maintenance on the drainage channel; however, the swale is
documented as an artificial drainage feature constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature
intended to be part of a stormwater and groundwater management plan for the site. Therefore, the
swale does not meet wetland criteria as defined by Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-11-230 and
4-3-050 M and should not be regulated as a wetland feature or stream. As the artificially constructed
swale is documented to be of anthropogenic origin where no naturally derived channel had
previously existed, and as the swale is known to collect and convey surface water and/or
groundwater from adjacent developed areas, the swale meets the criteria of a non-regulated, Class 5
waterbody under fu\1C 4-3-050 L.1.a.v. Class 5 waterbodies are exempt from all regulations by the
City of Renton under RMC 4-3-050 L. The feature also does not meet RCW 90.48 or
36.70A.030(21) criteria for regulation by the State of Washington as a wetland or stream.
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is identified on the northern onsite portion as a Class 3
waterbody. According to RMC4-3-050 L 1.a.iii., Class 3 waterbodies are non-salmon-bearing
perennial waters during years of normal rainfall and require a 75-foot buffer. The downstream, or
southern, onsite portion of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is identified as a Class 2 waterbody.
According to RMC 4-3-050 L 1.a.ii, Class 2 waterbodies are salmon-bearing and perennial or
intermittent waterbodies. A Class 2 waterbody under RMC 4-3-050 L.5.a.i.(a) requires a one
hundred foot minimum buffer. The project is located a minimum of 75 feet from the Class 3 reach
of the stream, but stormwater infrastructure must be located closer than 100 feet to the Class 2
reach; therefore, minor buffer averaging is necessary adjacent to the Class 2 designated reach. In
addition, placement of a pervious walking trail and treated stormwater outfall are proposed within
the Class 3 buffer, and some minor grading (approximately 3,000 square feet) is necessary in the
modified Class 2 buffer. These additional actions will result in minor impacts, which will be offset
with natural vegetation enhancement and restoration actions within the stream buffer. Any activity
proposed within the buffer must comply with the following standards as outlined in RMC 4-3-050
L.6:
a) Preservation of Native Vegetation: Existing native vegetation shall be pl~sen'ed to the extent possible,
preferably in consolidated areas.
b) Revegetation Required: I17IJe1~ water botfy buffir disturbance has OCCltn,d in accordance Ivith exemption
or development permit approval or other activities, revegetation Ivith natil'e vegetation shall be required

c) Use of Native Species: lI7heJ1 revegetation is I~quiml, approved native species, or other appropriate species
naturalized to the Puget Sound regiO/I shall be used. A variety of species shall be used lvhich serve as food or
shelter jiYJIn climatic extmlJeS and pl~dators, and as stmcflm and COl'er for reproduction and rearing ofyotlng.
d) Removal of Noxious Species: lI7hen requil~d as a condition of approval, noxious or undesirable species
of plants shall be 1~lIloved or controlled so as to not compete with native vegetation.
e) Impervious Surface Restrictions: IVhere illlpervious sll/faces exist in buffer areas, such imperviolls
sll/faces shall not be inmased or expanded lVithin the bllJJer a/~a. The extent of impervious suifaces lvithin the
bllJJer area mqJ only be rearranged if the reconjigllration of impen'iolls sllifaces and restoration of prior stlifaced
areas is pari of an enhancemel1t proposal that improves ecological jimc/ion of the area protected by the buffer.
The buffer averaging and enhancement plan, as described in detail in Chapter 7, proposes removal
of non-native invasive species, yard waste piles, and the existing gravel driveway and planting of all
disturbed areas with native species in compliance with these requirements. In fact, the value and
benefit of the buffer enhancement and restoration actions proposed will greatly exceed the minor
and temporary impacts associated with placement of the walking trail, storm outfall, and minor
grading near the storm pond. No impervious surface currently exists or is proposed within in the
buffer area. In addition, buffer averaging will result in no net loss of stream buffer extent or
functionality (see site plans in Appendix C).
Along with providing enhancement and restoration actions, the project must meet the additional
criteria for permit approval described in RMC 4-3-050 L.7.a and b, which require that (a) as a
condition of any approval for any development permit issued, a native growth protection area must
be created containing the stream area and associated buffer and (b) the action must result in no net
loss of regulated area or ecological function in the drainage area. The native growth protection area
will be established using a separate tract with deed restriction per RMC 4-3-050 E.4.c. option iii. The
native growth protection area will encompass all areas of the site east of the final buffer line detailed
on Sheet 3 of Appendix D.
As stated previously, the benefits of the proposed enhancement and restoration actions far exceed
the minor and temporary buffer impacts proposed by the project. In addition, a native growth
protection area will be created ro protect the stream and buffer in perpetuity. With the enhancement
actions proposed in Chapter 7 of this report, the native growth protection area will comply with the
standards set forth in RMC 4-3-050 E.4.b.
6.2 Federal Regulatory Considerations
The results of the 2014 site investigation identified one stream and one excavated drainage swale.
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 receives water from natural and artificial sources upstream of the
site and has a documented direct surface water connection to waters of the U.S. known to be
regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CW A). The drainage swale appears to have
been originally constructed in upland soils for the purpose of conveying stormwater runoff from
adjacent driveways and residences and groundwater from drainage systems. The swale does not
receive water from any sources potentially regulated under Section 404 of the C\Y/ A. In a December
2, 2008 memorandum from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE, joint
guidance is provided that describes waters that are to be regulated under section 404 of the C\Y/ A
(USACE, 2008). This memorandum was amended on February 2, 2012 where the EPA and
USACE issued a final guidance letter on waters protected by the CW A.

The 2012 guidance describes the following waters where jurisdiction would be asserted: 1) traditional
navigable waters, 2) interstate waters, 3) wetlands adjacent to traditional navigable waters, 4) non-
navigable tributaries of traditional navigable waters that are relatively permanent meaning they
contain water at least seasonally (e.g. typically three months and does not include ephemeral waters),
and 5) wetlands that directly abut permanent waters. The regulated waters are those associated with
naturally occurring waters and water courses and not artificial waters (i.e. stormwater pond outfalls).
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 fits the description of Item 4 and is clearly regulated under
Section 404 of the CW A.
The 2012 memorandum further goes on to describe waters where jurisdiction would likely require
further analysis: 1) Tributaries to traditional navigable waters or interstate waters, 2) Wetlands
adjacent to jurisdictional tributaries to traditional navigable waters or interstate waters, and 3) Waters
that fall under the "other waters" category of the regulations.
In addition, the 2012 guidance identifies thirteen waters or areas where jurisdiction will not be
asserted: 1) \'Vet areas that are not tributaries or open waters and do not meet the agencies regulatory
definition of "wetlands", 2) Waters excluded from coverage under the CWA by existing regulations,
3) Waters that lack a "significant nexus: where one is required for a water to be jurisdictional, 4)
Artificially irrigated areas that would revert to upland if the irrigation ceased, 5) Artificial lakes or
ponds created by excavating and/or diking dry land to collect and retain water and which are used
exclusively for such purposes as stock watering, irrigation, settling basins, or rice growing, 6)
Artificial reflecting pools or swimming pools excavated in uplands, 7) Small ornamental waters
created by excavating and/or diking dry land to retain water for primarily aesthetic reasons, and
puddles, 8) Water-filled depressions created incidental to construction activity, 9) Groundwater,
including groundwater drained through subsurface drainage systems, 10) Erosional features (gullies
and rills), 11) Non-wetland swales, 12) Ditches that are excavated wholly in uplands, drain only
uplands or non-jurisdictional waters, and have no more than ephemeral flow, and 13) Ditches that
do not contribute flow, either directly or through other waterbodies, to a traditional navigable water,
interstate water, or territorial sea.
The drainage swale identified on the subject property lacks a defined bed and bank and was clearly
constructed from uplands as documented by the prior landowner. The source of water that may be
found within this swale is stormwater associated with roadside runoff and a high groundwater
collection system. The excavated swale identified onsite appears to fit at least 3 of the criteria (Items
7,9, and 12) for which the agencies are directed not to assert jurisdiction over; however, previous
experience with the Seattle Branch of the USACE's interpretation of the guidance indicates agency
staff sometimes will try to assert jurisdiction over such features. However, it is highly unlikely such
assertion of jurisdiction over this swale is defensible given the documentation of the swale.
Should the USACE decide to assert jurisdiction over the swale under Section 404 of the CWA, the
project would still likely be covered under a simplified CW 1\ Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP)
29 for residential development projects as the limit of State and Federal permitting efforts under
Sections 401 and 404 of the CW i\. Final determination of NWP coverage, though not likely
necessary, is at the discretion of the USACE, and other minor NWP's, such as a NWP 18, may be
also be used to authorize this project.

Federal permitting efforts would also trigger Section 7 review under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA). The same permitting requirements would also trigger Section 106 review under the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) due to the extent of land-disturbing actions. As no Federal
permitting is likely necessary, documentation for such additional review requirements is not being
prepared at this time and will not be prepared in the future unless USACE staff can justify a
regulatory nexus with the proposed project.

Chapter 7. Buffer Averaging and Enhancement Plan
The following sections present the proposed buffer averaging and enhancement plan with minor
restoration actions to address the buffer impacts associated with the proposed project and satisfy
buffer width and native growth protection area criteria. The proposed averaging and enhancement
actions attempt to closely adhere to local Critical Areas Ret,'1llations specified in RMC 4-3-050 L.5.d
and 4-3-050 E.4 and L.6-7, respectively. The proposed buffer averaging and enhancement plan is
provided in Appendix D.
The buffer enhancement plan proposes to remove the Himalayan blackberry and other non-native
invasive vegetation by providing a chemical application (pre-treatment) of the invasive plants prior
to grubbing, which would occur during the dry season to minimize any potential impact to
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 and its downstream tributaries. Additional enhancement actions
will include clean up and removal of the gravel driveway and the significant number of yard waste
and debris piles located within the buffer to mitigate for the addition of a pervious walking trail
along the perimeter of the buffer. This plan proposes enhancement efforts within the stream buffer
wherever needed at the discretion of the responsible wetland scientist and restoration actions
wherever minor grading actions disturb the perimeter of the buffer such as stormwater outfall
placement and installation of the stormwater pond. No actions are proposed that will intrude into or
affect the stream channel. Please see Appendix D for planting specifications and details.
7.1 Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide additional residential units and associated
infrastructure within the City of Renton. The project proposes to develop a plat of forty-seven (47)
residential units with all necessary parking, driveways, utilities and associated infrastructure. A
minimum 75-foot protective buffer will be implemented to protect the regulated Class 3 stream and
an averaged 100-foot buffer will be implemented to protect the Class 2 reach of the same stream. In
addition, only temporary impacts are proposed to onsite stream buffers through enhancement and
restoration actions. The project seeks to mitigate for the minor temporary impacts associated with
necessary placement of a treated stormwater outfall and grading in the onsite buffer area and
provide compliance with native growth protection arca requirements.
7.2 Description of Impacts
No direct adverse impacts are proposed to any regulated critical area, as Maplewood Creek Tributary
0303 will not be directly impacted by the proposed project. However, the project proposes to place a
walking trail, treated stormwater outfall, approximately 3,000 square feet of temporary grading
within the stream buffer, resulting in minor temporary impacts. Surface water and a portion of the
roof water from the proposed residential plat will be directed to a detention pond which will treat
and discharge stormwater into a dispersion trench which will direct the treated water to the stream
buffer. In addition, vegetation enhancement and restoration actions within the buffer will result in
temporary disturbance only, with a resultant beneficial effect.
The existing buffer onsite is degraded by the dominance of invasive Himalayan blackberry, the
presence of yard waste and debris piles, and the gravel driveway. The dense blackberry and yard
waste piles keep emergent vegetation suppressed near the stream channel thus causing increased

runoff and erosion to limit water quality functions within the buffer. The proposed project will
substantially improve stream buffer functions including enhanced wildlife habitat and improvements
to water quality functions by establishing a highly structured native plant community and
constructing a protective fence with signage to prevent continued disturbance of buffer areas. In
addition, pedestrian access within the buffer will be contained by establishment of a low-impact trail
system to curtail trampling of native vegetation and inappropriate uses within the buffer. Other than
the gravel areas proposed to be removed, no impervious surface currently exists within the buffer
nor is proposed to be placed in the buffer by the proposed project. The proposed project does not
propose to negatively impact offsite drainages nor will it be detrimental to any other property.
Only a small portion of the stream buffer will be temporarily impacted during installation of
pervious walking trail, outfall,. and minor grading near the stormwater pond. The alignment of the
outfall has been designed to avoid significant native conifers, and temporary impacts will be limited
to the smallest area necessary to allow installation located outside of OHW. Once installation of
these items is complete, the disturbed areas will be finish graded and replanted with native
vegetation. The extent of buffer enhancement and restoration actions proposed will meet all native
growth protection area requirements and will greatly exceed any mitigation necessary for the minor
and temporary impacts associated with placement of the outfall.
7.3 Mitigation Approach and Best Management Practices
The proposed enhancement and restoration plan is intended to provide an appropriate stream buffer
functions without loss of area and non-compensatory enhancement and restoration actions for any
temporary impacts. The plan will also enhance the overall buffer functionality to meet native
growth protection area requirements. Onsite buffer areas are dominated by Himalayan blackberry
and contain significant numbers of yard waste and debris piles. Proposed enhancement actions
include treatment and removal of invasive vegetation, removal of yard waste and debris piles,
planting with native trees and shrubs, and establishment of an herbaceous understory to allow the
return of a forested canopy and enhance water quality and habitat functions of Maplewood Creek
Tributary 0303.
Impacts to the stream are being fully avoided, and impacts to the buffer are being minimized
through careful planning efforts and project design. Enhancement and restoration actions will occur
concurrently with the development of the plat. Temporary erosion and sediment control (fESC)
measures will be implemented that consists of high-visibility fencing (HVF) installed around native
vegetation within the buffer, silt fencing between the graded areas and buffer, plastic sheeting on
stockpiled materials, and seeding of disturbed soils. These TESC measures should be installed prior
to the start of development or enhancement actions and actively managed for the duration of the
project.
A concrete wash water collection basin should also be installed away from the buffer prior to
commencement of construction activities requiring additional concrete work. All equipment staging
and materials stockpiles should be kept out of the buffer, and the area will need to be kept free of
spills and/or hazardous materials. All fill material and road surfacing should be sourced from
upland areas onsite or from approved suppliers, and will need to be free of pollutants and hazardous
materials. Construction materials along with all construction waste and debris should be effectively
managed and stockpiled on paved surfaces and kept free of the remaining wetland and stream buffer
area. Following completion of the residence, the entire site should be cleaned and detail graded

using hand tools wherever necessary, and TESC measures will need to be removed. In addition,
permanent stormwater treatment features will need to be implemented as designed by the project
engineer.
7.4 Buffer Averaging Efforts
As a result of the re-classification of the southeast onsite reach of the stream from a Class 3 to a
Class 2, buffer averaging efforts will need to be made to accommodate the stormwater pond. With
careful planning, buffer width modification using the buffer averaging standards set forth in RMC 4-
3-050 L5.d may be applied to this project if several criteria for approval are followed; including,
buffer width will not result in a net loss of ecological function, the total buffer area is no less than
the required standard, and the buffer standard is based on best available science. The buffer
averaging efforts for this project included an assessment of existing site conditions, critical areas and
physical limitations, stream class designation, and anticipated project needs. The proposed buffer
averaging efforts are very minor and attempt to strike a balance between these clements in a manner
that allows the best use of the site while maintaining the integrity of the existing critical areas.
Careful planning and targeted implementation of the buffer averaging exercise detailed on Sheet 2 of
Appendix D, along with buffer enhancement actions, will help ensure that no additional negative
impacts will be made to the critical areas identified in this assessment. Expansion of buffer areas
surrounding sensitive areas and implementation of effective restoration and enhancement measures
will also help ensure that water quality and fish and wildlife habitat functions will be improved from
its current state. The buffer reduction is only proposed within the outermost extent of the onsite
buffer where the stream was re-classified as a Class 2 waterbody. Increase in buffer area is proposed
an adjacent area that is situated between the proposed residences and the stream. The proposed
buffer averaging plan increases overall total buffer area on the site by 1,442 square feet (from
existing 1,730 square feet to the proposed 3,172 square feet). As the proposed actions will increase
overall buffer functionality, no net loss of buffer function or area is proposed.
7.S Enhancement Actions
Enhancement and restoration actions for the buffer include, but may not be limited to, the following
recommendations:
• Pre-treat invasive plants, such as English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and Scotch broom,
growing in the tributary buffer with a Washington Department of At,'·riculture approved
herbicide. After pre-treatment, grub to remove the invasive plants and replant all cleared
areas with native trees, shrubs, and ground covers listed in Appendix C; Pre-treatment of the
invasive plants should occur a minimum of two weeks prior to removal;
• Remove gravel associated with the existing gravel driveway and break up the compacted soil
with a ripper attachment or tiller. Seed and plant disturbed areas;
• Only native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers listed in Appendix C, or substitutes approved
by the responsible wetland scientist, will be used in disturbed areas to help retain soils, filter
stormwater, and increase biodiversity of macroinvertebrates (i.e. insects);
• An approved native seed mix will be used to seed the disturbed areas after planting trees and
shrubs;

• Maintenance to maintain control of invasive plants will occur annually, at a minimum, or
more frequently if necessary. Maintenance to reduce the growth and spread of invasive
plants is not restricted to chemical applications but may include hand removal, if warranted;
• Dry-season irrigation will be provided as necessary by the property owner to help ensure
plant survival;
• Exterior lights will be directed away from the tributary buffer whenever possible, and
• Activities that generate excessive noise (i.e. generators and air conditioning equipment) will
be placed away from the riparian corridor whenever feasible.
7.6 Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Performance Standards
The goals and objectives for the proposed non-compensatory enhancement and restoration actions
are based on improving buffer functions to compensate for temporary impacts to the buffer. These
actions are capable of improving water quality and hydrologic functions and providing a moderate to
high level of habitat function for stream buffer-associated wildlife. The goals and objectives of the
proposed enhancement actions are as follows:
Goal -Improve habitat functions associated with the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 buffer by
reducing presence of non-native invasive species and increasing presence of habitat features
and diversity within the temporarily impacted buffer.
Objective 1-Increase plant biodiversity in areas where Himalayan blackberry and/or other
invasive species are dominant.
Performance Standard 1 -A minimum of 5 native tree and shrub species will be
present within the enhancement area in all monitoring years.
Performance Standard 2 -The enhanced buffer area onsite will contain a
minimum of 50 percent native species areal coverage by Year 2, 60 percent
areal coverage by Year 3, and 75 percent areal coverage percent by Year 5 of
all strata.
Objective 2 -Effectively control and/or eliminate invasive species from the stream buffer
enhancement areas.
Performance Standard 3 -Non-native invasive plants will not make up more than
15 percent total areal cover in any growing season following Year 1.
7.7 Plant Materials and Installation
7.7.1 Plant Materials
All plant materials to be used for enhancement actions will be nursery grown stock from a reputable,
local source. Only native species are to be used; no hybrids or cultivars will be allowed. Plant
material provided will be typical of their species or variety; if not cuttings they will exhibit normal,
densely-developed branches and vigorous, fibrous root systems. Plants will be sound, healthy,
vigorous plants free from defects, and all forms of disease and infestation.

inch thick. If free of invasive plant species, the mulch material may be sourced from woody
materials salvaged from the land clearing activities.
7.7.2 Product Handling, Delivery, and Storage
All seed and fertilizer should be delivered in original, unopened, and undamaged containers showing
weight, analysis, and name of manufacturer. This material should be stored in a manner to prevent
wetting and deterioration. All precautions customary in good trade practice shall be taken in
preparing plants for moving. Workmanship that fails to meet industry standards will be rejected.
Plants will be packed, transported, and handled with care to ensure protection against injury and
from drying out. If plants cannot be planted immediately upon delivery they should be protected
with soil, wet peat moss, or in a manner acceptable to the project biologist. Plants, fertilizer, and
mulch not installed immediately upon delivery shall be secured on the site to prevent theft or
tampering. No plant shall be bound with rope or wire in a manner that could damage or break the
branches. Plants transported on open vehicles should be secured with a protective covering to
prevent windburn.
7.7.3 Preparation and Installation of Plant Materials
The planting locations shown in Appendix D are approximate and subject to modification to meet
site-specific needs. The planting contractor shall verify the location of all elements of the
enhancement plan with the Wetland Scientist prior to installation. The responsible Wetland
Scientist reserves the right to adjust the locations of landscape elements during the installation
period as appropriate to the enhancement actions outlined above. If obstructions are encountered
that are not shown on the drawings, planting operations will cease until alternate plant locations
have been selected by and/ or approved by the Wetland Scientist.
Circular plant pits with vertical sides will be excavated for all container stock. The pits should be at
least 12 inches in diameter, and the depth of the pit should accommodate the entire root system.
The bottom of each pit will be scarified to a depth of 4 inches.
Broken roots should be pruned with a sharp instrument and rootballs should be thoroughly soaked
prior to installation. Set plant material upright in the planting pit to proper grade and alignment.
Water plants thoroughly midway through backfilling and add Agroform tablets. Water pits again

upon completion of backfilling. No filling should occur around trunks or stems. Do not use frozen
or muddy mixtures for backfilling. Form a ring of soil around the edge of each planting pit to retain
water, and install a 4 to 6 inch layer of mulch around the base of each container plant.
7.7.4 Temporary Irrigation Specifications
While the native species selected for enhancement are hardy and typically thrive in northwest
conditions, and the proposed enhancement actions are planned in areas with sufficient hydroperiods
for the species selected, some individual plants might perish due to dry conclitions. Therefore,
irrigation or regular watering will be provided as necessary for the duration of the first 2 growing
seasons while the native plantings become established.
7.7.5 Invasive Plant Control and Removal
Invasive species to be removed include Himalayan blackberry and all listed noxious weeds. These
species can also be found nearby; therefore, to ensure these species do not expand following the
enhancement actions, invasive shrubs within the enhancement and restoration areas will be
pretreated with a root-killing herbicide approved for use in aquatic sites (i.e. Rodeo) approximately
30 days prior to being cleared and grubbed from the entire wetland and associated buffer. The pre-
treatment with herbicide should occur prior to all planned mitigation actions, and spot treatment of
any surviving other invasive vegetation should be performed again each fall prior to leaf senescence
for a minimum of 3 years.
A maintenance program requiring annual removal of invasive species within all wetland buffer areas
by a homeowner's association following project completion, and written into the subdivision's
Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions, is also recommended. This program should start during the
early summer of Year 1 of the monitoring program.
7.8 Maintenance & Monitoring
The applicant is committed to compliance with the proposed enhancement plan and overall success
of the project. As such, the applicant will continue to maintain the project, keeping the site free
from of non-native invasive vegetation, trash, and yard waste.
The enhancement site will be monitored for a period of 5 years with formal inspections by a
qualified Wetland Scientist. The maintenance/monitoring period will begin upon completion of an
as-built plan and certification from a Professional Wetland Scientist or Scientist with equivalent
qualifications certifying the mitigation was installed per the enhancement and restoration plan.
Monitoring events will be scheduled at the time of construction, 30 days after planting, and late in
the first through final year's growing seasons in Years 1, 2, 3, and 5. A closeout assessment will also
be conducted in Year 5 to ensure the adequate restoration and enhancement measures have been
provided.
Monitoring will consist of percent cover measurements at permanent sampling points, walk-through
surveys to identify invasive species presence and dead or dying restoration plantings, photographs
taken at fixed photo points, wildlife observations, and verification of dispersion trench function and
general qualitative buffer function observations. Percent cover of all herbaceous species will be

measured along each transect at 3D-foot intervals using a .25 merer quadrant. Average values for
each site will be determined from all quadrants measured along each transect.
7.9 Reporting
Following each monitoring event, a brief monitoring report detailing the current ecological status of
the stream buffer, measurement of performance standards, and management recommendations will
be prepared and submitted to the City of Renton within 90 days of each monitoring event to ensure
full compliance with the mitigation plan, performance standards, and regulatory conditions of
approval.
7.10 Contingency Plans
If monitoring results during the first 3 years indicate that performance standards are not being met,
it may be necessary to implement all or part of the contingency plan. Careful attention to
maintenance is essential in ensuring that problems do not arise. Should any portion of the site fail to
meet the success criteria, a contingency plan will be developed and implemented with City of
Renton approval. Such plans are adaptive and should be prepared on a case-by-case basis to reflect
the failed mitigation characteristics. Contingency plans can include additional plant installation, and
plant substitutions including type, size, and location.
Contingency/maintenance activities may include, but are not limited to:
1. Replacing plants lost to vandalism, drought, or disease, as necessary;
2. Replacing any plant species with a 20 percent or greater mortality rate after 2 growing seasons
with the same species or native species of similar form and function;
3. Irrigating the enhancement areas only as necessary during dry weather if plants appear to be
too dry, with a minimal quantity of water;
4. Reseeding and/or repair of stream buffer areas as necessary if erosion or sedimentation
occurs, or
5. Removing all trash or undesirable debris from the stream and buffer areas as necessary.
7.11 Early Closeout
If the Year 3 monitoring effort indicates all Performance Standards are being met, the Applicant
may petition the City of Renton for carll' closeout of the monitoring period. Such a petition may be
made using the Year 3 monitoring report and a written request to City of Renton staff.

Chapter 8. Closure
The findings and conclusions documented in this report have been prepared for specific application
to the Copperwood Residential Plat. They have been developed in a manner consistent with that
level of care and skill normally exercised by members of the environmental science profession
currently practicing under similar conditions in the area. The conclusions and recommendations
presented in this report are professional opinions based on an interpretation of information
currently avaiJable to us and are made within the operation scope, budget, and schedule of this
project. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. In addition, changes in government codes,
regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and conclusions
applicable to this site may need to be revised wholly or in part.
\'Vetland determinations and regulatory recommendations made by Soundview Consultants LLC are
based on conditions present at the time of the site visit and considered preliminary until validated by
the jurisdictional agencies. Validation of the extent and jurisdictional status of all potentially
regulated features by the regulating agency provides a certification, usually written, that the features
that will, or will not, be regulated by the agencies until a specific date or until the regulations are
modified. Only the regulating agencies can provide this certification.
Since wetlands and streams are dynamic communities affected by both natural and human activities,
changes in wetland boundaries may be expected; therefore, delineations cannot remain valid for an
indefinite period of time. Local agencies typically recognize the validity of wetland and stream
assessments for a period of 5 years after completion of an assessment. Development activities on a
site 5 years after the completion of this report may require revisions. In addition, changes in
government codes, regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and
conclusions applicable to this site may need to be revised wholly or in part.

1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The proposed Plat of Copperwood is a single-family residential project consisting of 47 lots zoned
R4, and will be utilizing the small lot clustering provisions. The project is 12.68 acres in size,
containing 8 tax parcels (152305-9066, 152305-9067, 152305-9201, 152305-9100, 152305-9093,
152305-9170, 152305-9043, and 152305-9221). The site is located at the intersection of 143rd
Avenue S.E. and S.E. 2nd Place, in a portion of Section 15, Township 23 North, Range 5 East,
W.M., in the City of Renton.
The site is rectangular in shape and fronts S.E. 2nd Place. The proposed on-site roads are to be
tied into S.E. 2nd Place, and will be extended into the site to provide public access and
circulation. This site is currently developed, with 7 single-family residences, and is currently
zoned R4. The existing on-site improvements consist of storm and water utilities, and gravel
driveways that access S.E. 2nd Place. There is a creek on-site (Maplewood Creek Tributary
0303), near the east property line. The existing site drains to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303,
where it then leaves the site near the southeast corner. The existing discharge location will be
maintained after development as well.
The site is bound along the east property line by 143rd Avenue S.E. The site is bound by single-
family residences to the south and west. The southeast corner of the site contains steep slopes,
ranging from 15% to 70%. These steep slopes will be contained within a Natural Growth
Protection Area (NGPA) Tract. S.E. 2nd Place bounds the site to the north. Access to the site
from S.E. 2nd Place will require frontage improvements, including new asphalt, new curb and
gutter, sidewalk, and planter strip.
On-site soils are mapped as Alderwood. Please refer to the Soils Map in this section. All
drainage calculations were modeled as till soils.
The project will be constructing roadways consisting of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and street
trees. The site will tie into the existing road at S.E. 2nd Place. All roads for this project have
been designed to be 26 feet wide, with an 8-foot planter strip at the back of curb and a 5-foot
sidewalk (both sides). Overall, the proposed public right-of-way is to be 53 feet in width.
The topography on-site is generally fiat, with a slight rise in the westernmost portion of the site.
The site generally slopes from west to east, toward Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303, from
elevation 398 to 386. The project will be mass graded with cuts and fills balanced on site. The
proposed development also includes further restoration of the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303
buffer area.
The drainage facilities are required to meet the requirements of the 2009 King County Surface
Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM.
The drainage design shall meet, at a minimum, the Conservation Flow Control (Level 2) and
Basic Water Quality Treatment. The drainage facility located in Tract B is a combination
detention/wetpond, sized for Level 2 Flow Control. The wetpond will be sized pursuant to the
2009 KCSWDM and its amendments to ensure that the Basic Water Quality requirement is met.
The project will be discharging the drainage from the pond to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303.
Please refer to Section 4.0 for detailed drainage calculations.

3.0 OFF-SITE ANALYSIS
TASK 1 STUDY AREA DEFINITION AND MAPS
The proposed Plat of Copperwood is a single-family residential project consisting of 47 lots zoned R4,
and will be utilizing the small lot clustering provisions. The project is 12.68 acres in size containing 8 tax
parcels (152305-9066, 152305-9067, 152305-9201, 152305-9100, 152305-9093, 152305-9170, 152305-
9043, and 152305-9221). The site is located at the intersection of 143rd Avenue S.E. and S.E. 2nd
Place, in a portion of Section 15, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W.M., in the City of Renton.
The site is rectangular in shape, and fronts S.E. 2nd Place. The proposed on-site roads are to be tied
into S.E. 2nd Place, and will be extended into the site to provide public access and circulation. This site
is currently developed, with 7 single-family residences, and is currently zoned R4. The existing on-site
improvements consist of storm and water utilities, and gravel driveways that access S.E. 2nd Place.
There is a creek on-site (Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303), near the east property line. The existing site
drains to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303, where it then leaves the site near the southeast corner. The
existing discharge location will be maintained after development as well.
The site is bound along the east property line by 143rd Avenue S.E. The site is bound by single-family
residences to the south and west. The southeast corner of the site contains steep slopes, ranging from
15% to 70%. These steep slopes will be contained within a Natural Growth Protection Area (NGPA)
Tract. S.E. 2nd Place bounds the site to the north. Access to the site from S.E. 2nd Place will require
frontage improvements, including new asphalt, new curb and gutter, sidewalk, and planter strip.
On-site soils are mapped as Alderwood. Please refer to the Soils Map in this section. All drainage
calculations were modeled as till soils.
The project will be constructing roadways consisting of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and street trees. The
site will tie into the existing road at S.E. 2nd Place. All roads for this project have been designed to be 26
feet wide, with an 8-foot planter strip at the back of curb and a 5-foot sidewalk (both sides). Overall, the
proposed public right-of-way is to be 53 feet in width.
The topography on-site is generally flat, with a slight rise in the westernmost portion of the site. The site
generally slopes from west to east, toward Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303, from elevation 398 to 386.
The project will be mass graded with cuts and fills balanced on site. The proposed development also
includes further restoration of the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 buffer area.
The drainage facilities are required to meet the requirements of the 2009 King County Surface Water
Design Manual (KCSWDM), and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM. The drainage
design shall meet, at a minimum, the Conservation Flow Control (Level 2) and Basic Water Quality
Treatment. The drainage facility located in Tract B is a combination detention/wetpond, sized for Level 2
Flow Control. The wetpond will be sized pursuant to the 2009 KCSWDM and its amendments to ensure
that the Basic Water Quality requirement is met. The project will be discharging the drainage from the
pond to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. Please refer to Section 4.0 for detailed drainage calculations.
UPSTREAM DRAINAGE ANALYSIS:
Upstream of the site, to the west, are existing single-family residences. This area is approximately 3.80
acres. The west property line serves as a high point between the upstream basin and the project site.
Due to the high point between the upstream basin and the project site, it is safe to assume that the
amount of runoff flowing onto the site from the upstream basin is negligible.

TASK 2 RESOURCE REVIEW
• Adopted Basin Plans: The site is located within the Lower Cedar River Basin. Refer to
Appendix A for the portions of the basin that applies to this project.
• Finalized Drainage Studies: This is not applicable.
• Basin Reconnaissance Summary Report: This site is located in the Lower Cedar River Basin,
which is covered by the Lower Cedar River Basin and Nonpoint Pollution Action Plan dated July
1997 (included in Appendix A).
• Critical Drainage Area Maps: This project will not discharge to any critical areas or wetlands as
it will be discharging runoff from the detention pond to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303,
matching pre-developed flows. Therefore, no critical areas are to be affected.
• Floodplain and Floodway FEMA Maps: Please see the attached FEMA Map (Section 1.0)
utilized for this analysis. As indicated on the map, the site is located in Zone X and is outside of
the 500-year floodplain.
• Other Off-Site Analysis Reports: A site investigation was conducted in preparation of this
Level 1 Off-Site Drainage Analysis. The United States Department of Agriculture Soils
Conservation Service Map is also provided. See Figure 4 -Soils Map in Section 1.0.
• Sensitive Areas Folios: Based on review of the King County Sensitive Areas Map Folios, the
site does not contain any On-Site Wetlands, Erosion Areas, Sensitive Areas, or Land Slide Areas.
• Road Drainage Problems: This is not applicable.
• United States Department of Agriculture King County Solis Survey: Based on the Soils Map
(Figure 4 -Soils Map, Section 1.0) for this area, the site is underlain with Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam. The soils were modeled as till soils.
• Wetland Inventory Map: From the Wetland and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment Report by
Soundview Consultants, there is no known documentation or inventory of wetlands for the project
site.
• Migrating River Studies: This is not applicable.
• City of Renton Aquifer Protection Zones: Per the City of Renton's GIS Map, the project site is

TASK 3 FIELD INSPECTION
3.1 Conveyance System Nuisance Problems (Type 1)
3.2
3.3
Conveyance system nuisance problems are minor but not chronic flooding or erosion problems
that result from the overflow of a constructed conveyance system that is substandard or has
become too small as a result of upstream development. Such problems warrant additional
attention because of their chronic nature and because they result from the failure of a
conveyance system to provide a minimum acceptable level of protection.
There were no conveyance system nuisance problems observed during the site visit.
Furthermore, based on a review of the drainage complaints received from the City of Renton,
there is no evidence of past conveyance system nuisance problems occurring in the direct
downstream drainage course, as there is a record of none having been submitted.
This site will have a Level 2 Flow Control facility, which will restrict the flow of the 2-year release
rate to 50% of the pre·developed site and will provide adequate mitigation to prevent any future
drainage complaints as a result of this proposed site development.
Severe Erosion Problems (Type 2)
Severe erosion problems can be caused by conveyance system overflows or the concentration of
runoff into erosion-sensitive open drainage features. Severe erosion problems warrant additional
attention because they pose a significant threat either to health and safety or to public or private
property. .
Based on our site visit, there was no evidence of. or potential for, erosion/incision sufficient to
pose a sedimentation hazard downstream within the limits of the study. All runoff sheet flows to
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303, where it is then conveyed off site. Stormwater runoff from the
proposed roads will be collected and conveyed to a detention and water quality facility where it
will then be discharged to the on-site creek tributary. As a result no future erosion problems
should occur downstream because of this development.
Severe Flooding Problems (Type 3)
Severe flooding problems can be caused by conveyance system overflows or the elevated water
surfaces of ponds, lakes, wetlands, or closed depressions. Severe flooding problems are defined
as follows:
• Flooding of the finished area of a habitable building for runoff events less than or equal to
the 1 DO-year event. Examples include flooding of finished floors of homes and
commercial or industrial buildings. Flooding in electrical/heating systems and
components in the crawlspace or garage of a home. Such problems are referred to as
"severe building flooding problems."
• Flooding over all lanes of a roadway or severely impacting a sole access driveway for
runoff events less than or equal to the 1 OO-year event. Such problems are referred to as
"severe roadway flooding problems."
Based on a review of the FEMA Map (Section 1.0) the proposed site is outside of the 500-year
floodplain, and there is no evidence of severe flooding problems encountered during our visit.

TASK 4 DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONS
DOWNSTREAM DRAINAGE ANALYSIS:
In the pre-developed condition, all runoff drains to the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. Once it is
collected by the creek tributary, it leaves the site at the southeast corner.
In the developed condition, stormwater that is discharged from the site will be conveyed from the
detention pond to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. Steep slopes exist near the southeast corner of the
NGPA, ranging from 15% to 70%. Stormwater from the detention pond is discharged via a bubble-up
manhole that is armored with crushed rock. The crushed rock will help dissipate the outflows of the pond.
In addition to the bubble-up manhole and crushed rock armoring, the outlet will be placed at the toe of the
stream channel to ensure no runoff is being introd uced over the slopes of the channel. The proposed
detention pond was designed to match developed flows to pre-developed flows, from half of the 2-year
storm event up to the full 50-year storm event.
With the above proposed measures for stormwater management, we believe that the proposed
development will not increase the amount of runoff entering Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. Since the
amount of runoff entering the creek tributary will remain the same, there will be no erosion of the existing
steep slopes located near the southeast corner of the site.

FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
A. Existing Site Hydrology
This site is currently developed, with 7 single-family residences containing 8 tax parcels
(152305-9066, 152305-9067, 152305-9201, 152305-9100, 152305-9093, 152305-9170,
152305-9043, and 152305-9221) and is currently zoned R4. The existing on-site
improvements consist of storm and water utilities, and gravel driveways that access S.E.
2nd Place. There is a creek on site (Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303), near the east
property line. The existing site drains to Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303, where it then
leaves the site near the southeast corner. The existing discharge location will be
maintained after development as well.
B. Developed Site Hydrology
The completed project will create 47 lots. The total developed area will be 10.33 acres in
size. New impervious surfaces will include roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and roof
areas. The project will be providing landscaped pervious areas, open space areas, and a
drainage facility.
A conveyance system consisting of catch basins and storm pipes will be constructed in
the roadways to collect drainage from impervious surfaces and lots, and conveyed to the
new drainage facility.
A combination detention/wetpond will be constructed in Tract B to provide water quality
and flow control for the project. The pond will contain a control structure fitted with a riser
overflow. Stormwater from the pond will be conveyed to Maplewood Creek Tributary
0303 via a proposed 12-inch pipe. The runoff will enter the creek and them be conveyed
off site via Maplewood Creek.
C. Performance Standards
The KCRTS Runoff Time Series Program was used to size the detention facility. The
detention pond was sized for Conservation Flow Control (Level 2) based on the
requirements of the 2009 KCSWDM and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the
KCSWDM. Individual lot BMPs will be applied to an impervious area equal to 10% of the
lot size for lots less than 11,000 square feet and 20% of the lot size for lots greater than
11,000 square feet. The BMP credit has been applied to the impervious land cover data
(impervious areas with applied BMPs modeled as 50% grass/50% impervious), which
was used to size the detention pond. Please refer to the KCRTS computations included
in this section. Based on Level 2 detention pond sizing calculations, the pond volume
required is 121,975 cubic feet.
The project is also subject to Basic Water Quality. To meet this requirement, a wetpond
is proposed, and will be in combination with the detention pond. The wetpond was sized
pursuant to the 2009 KCSWDM and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the
KCSWDM. Based on the Wetpool Sizing Worksheet. the required wetpond volume is
34,409 cubic feet.
D. Flow Control System
Flow Control System details will be submitted during final engineering.

Executive Summary
Soundview Consultants LLC was hired by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. and Quadrant
Homes (Applicant) to delineate and assess wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and/or other
potentially-regulated aquatic features on an approximately 12.68-acre site located within the City of
Renton, Washington. The subject property consists of eight parcels (King County Tax Parcel
Numbers 1523059043, 1523059066, 1523059067, 1523059093, 1523059100, 1523059170,
1523059201,1523059221) located in the Northwest 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 15, Township
23 North, Range 05 East, W.M. The areas incorporated in this assessment include both the subject
property and surrounding offsite areas located within approximately 115 feet of the subject property.
The proposed project (Copperwood Residential Plat) will provide 47 additional single-family
residential units, transportation improvements, and associated infrastructure within the City of
Renton.
The subject property was investigated for the presence of potentially regulated wetlands, drainages,
fish and wildlife habitat, and/or priority species on April 2, 2014 and re-inspected in June 2014. No
potentially regulated wetlands were found onsite. One stream (Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303)
was identified on the eastern side of the property. The City of Renton identifies Maplewood Creek
Tributary 0303 as a Class 3 non-salmonid-bearing perennial stream. In the northern portion of the
property, the stream is low-gradient with gently-sloping banks; however, in the southern portion of
the property, the channel is located in a ravine with steeply sloped banks and several natural fish
passage barriers. The ravine associated with the stream corridor contain both Sensitive and
Protected slopes as classified by the City of Renton. An artificially constructed swale with emergent
wetland vegetation was also found onsite draining into Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. The swale
is documented to have been constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature and is not likely
regulated by the City of Renton per Renton Municipal Code Sections 4-11-230 and 4-3-050 L, nor is
it likely regulated by the Washington State Department of Ecology under RCW 90.48 or
36.70A.030(21). Both of these features were addressed in the original Wetland, Fish and Wildlife
Habitat Assessment Report prepared for the project dated April 21, 2014. However, an
independent electro fishing study, previously undisclosed to Soundview Consultants LLC and the
Applicant, identified fishes below a natural fish passage barrier in the southeast corner of the
property classifying this onsite stream reach as a Class 2 salmonid-bearing stream. Following
disclosure of the prior independent study, a site visit was conducted to verify the accuracy of this
assessment. Soundview Consultants LLC's supplemental site visit identified salmonids below an
onsite natural fish passage barrier. Therefore, a small portion of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 in
the southeast corner of the site must be reclassified as a Class 2 salmon-bearing stream, and minor
revisions to the buffer management recommendations are necessary to address increased buffer
requirements.
The revised residential plat still includes 47 single-family residences, new access roads, one
stormwater tract, extensive open space tracts, and associated infrastructure, and direct impacts to the
stream will be entirely avoided. In addition, proposed impacts to stream buffer are minimal and
limited to placement of a treated stormwater outfall, minor grading, a pervious walking trail, buffer
reductions, and buffer enhancement actions. Impacts to the buffer will be mitigated through buffer
averaging and non-compensatory buffer enhancement actions.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Soundview Consultants LLC was hired by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. and Quadrant
Homes (Applicant) to delineate and assess wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and other potentiaUy-
regulated aquatic features within or adjacent to the proposed Copperwood Residential Plat. The
proposed project is located at 5001 Southeast 2nd Place within the City of Renton, Washington. The
subject property is situated in the Northwest '/. of the Southeast '/. of Section 15, Township 23
North, Range 05 East, W.M. (King County Tax Parcel Numbers 1523059043, 1523059066,
1523059067,1523059093,1523059100, 1523059170, 1523059201, and 1523059221).
The subject property and surrounding areas within 115 feet of the subject property were investigated
for the presence of potentially regulated wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife habitat, and! or priority
species in April of 2014 and re-inspected in June of 2014. An additional supplementary site visit was
conducted following disclosure of an old elcctrofishing survey (Cedarock Consultants, Inc., 2006)
previously unknown to Soundview Consultants LLC and the Applicant. The site investigations
identified one regulated stream and one non-regulated, artificially constructed swale. The stream is
referred to as Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 by the Ciry of Renton. No impacts are proposed to
the stream, and only minor impacts are proposed to the stream buffer, which will be addressed by
buffer averaging and enhancement actions.
The purpose of this wetland and fish and wildlife habitat assessment is to identify and assess the
presence of wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and! or priority species on or near the subject
property and to identify management recommendations for the proposed project. This report
includes conclusions and recommendations regarding:
• Site description, project description, and area of assessment;
• Background research and identification of potentially regulated critical areas in the vicinity of
the proposed project;
• Identification, delineation, and assessment of rei,'1llated wetlands and water bodies;
• Identification and assessment of fish and wildlife habitat and! or priority species located on
or near the subject property;
• Standard buffer recommendations, building setbacks, and development limitations;
• Proposed buffer reductions and temporary impacts;
• Existing site maps detailing identified critical areas, standard buffers, proposed buffer
modifications, and non-compensatory mitigation actions, and
• Long term habitat management recommendations and impact minimization measures.

2.2 Project Description
The Applicant proposes a single-family residential development within the approximately 12.68-acre
subject property. The proposed project includes demolition of all but one of the existing residences,
removal of scrap and debris associated with the previous residential land use, clearing and grading
for construction of approximately 47 residential housing units with driveways, parking areas,
associated utilities and infrastructure, and buffer reduction, averaging, and enhancement actions.
The proposed project will also provide fully engineered stormwater facilities to the City of Renton's
standards. The southwest facilities will require placement of a stormwater outfall and pervious
walking trail along with minor grading actions within the stream buffer and minor buffer reduction
via buffer averaging in the southeast corner of the site. Any impacts associated with the installation
of this outfall, low-impact trail, minor grading, and buffer averaging will be mitigated for through
non-compensatoty enhancement actions. For further details, Appendix C provides a site plan of the
proposed project and mitigation details.

Chapter 3. Methods
The methods used to comply with Federal, State, and local assessment requirements are detailed
below. Please see Appendix A for further details of methods and tools used to prepare the report.
Wetlands, streams, and other potentially regulated fish and wildlife habitat within the subject
property and offsite areas within 115 feet of the subject property were investigated, and potentially
regulated critical areas were delineated and assessed by qualified Soundview Consultants LLC staff
on April 2, 2014. A follow up site inspection was also conducted by Soundview Consultant's
Principal Scientist on April 3, 2014 to verify staff findings. Publicly available background data was
queried for documented wetlands, streams, and/or fish and wildlife habitat on or near the site,
including the U.S. Geographic Survey (USGS) topographic map, the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), US Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), King County GIS data (iMap), City of Renton GIS data, local
precipitation data (NOAA), and various orthophotographic resources. Graphics and maps detailing
background data such as site topography, soils, vegetative buffers, basin area, and critical areas
inventories are provided in Appendix B.
Potential wetland boundaries were determined using the routine approach described in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE, 1987) as modified by
the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western
Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0) (USACE, 2010). Methods described in the
Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual were not used since this document
has been retired by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) in favor of the updated
USACE methods. Ordinary High Water (OH\'V) determinations were determined using Ecology's
method as detailed in determining the Ordinary High Water Mark on Streams in Washington State
(Olson, 2008); definitions provided in RCW 77.55.011 (11) and WAC 220.110.020 (69); and
USACE's Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05 Ordinary High Water Mark Identification (USACE
2005).
Potential wetland, stream, and drainage boundaries and stormwater features were inspected,
delineated, and surveyed over several dates in April 2014. The field assessment was performed by
Jim Carsner, Professional Wetland Scientist; Jeremy Downs, Principal Scientist and Environmental
Planner; and Hannah Blackstock, Staff Scientist. To mark the boundary between potential wetlands
and uplands, orange surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied to vegetation or
wood lath along the wetland boundary. To mark the points where data was collected, pink
surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied at each sampling location. To mark the
boundaries of streams and drainages, blue surveyor's flagging was alpha-numerically labeled and tied
to vegetation or striped flagging from prior assessments was verified. The location of each stream
and drainage boundary flag and data plot was surveyed by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc.
The locations and features of identified features are described in Chapter 5, and shown on plan
sheets in Appendix C.
Following disclosure of a previously unknown independent electro fishing survey performed on
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 (Cedarock Consultants, Inc., 2006), two qualified Soundview
Consultants LLC Staff Scientists verified the location of the identified natural fish passage barriers

Chapter 4. Background
4.2 Topography and Drainage Basin
The surveyed topography of the site shows the landform as generally flat with a slight rise in the
westernmost portion of the site and generally sloping toward the stream in the east. The banks of
the stream are shallow with low-gradient banks in the north but transitions into a steep ravine as it
nears the southern property boundaty. A King County Topographic map is provided in
Appendix B 1.
4.3 Local and National Wetland Inventories
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USF\'{IS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map does not
identify any wetlands or streams on or near the subject property. The City of Renton's GIS maps
also do not identify wetlands on or near the subject property; however, the City identifies the stream
as a Class 3 waterbody on the subject property. Prior to the stream entering the subject property to
the north, it is identified as Class 4 water. The NWI and City of Renton maps are provided in
Appendix B2 and B3, respectively.
4.4 Vegetation
The majority of the property is cleared and developed with single-family residences. Most of the
vegetated areas are dominated by landscaped areas and mowed lawn. The area containing the stream
corridor (King County Parcel Number 1523059067) is the only undeveloped portion of the subject
property.
4.5 Soils
The NRCS Soil Survey of King County identified one soil series, Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 6
to 15 percent slopes, on the subject property. A soil map is provided in Appendix B4.
Alderwood (AgC) series soils are considered non-hydric except for inclusions of Bellingham,
Norma, Tukwila, and Shalear that are associated with small depressions. Alderwood soils are
described as moderately well drained soils on undulating to hilly landforms that have a dense, very
slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. A typical pedon of the A.Iderwood (AgC)
series is: 0 inch to 2 inches of a very dark brown gravelly sandy loam (10YR 2/2); 2 inches to 12
inches of a dark brown gravelly sandy loam (10YR 4/3); 12 inches to 27 inches of a grayish-brown
gravelly sandy loam (2.5Y 5/2) with light olive brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6); and 27 inches to 60 inches
of a gra)~sh-brown till (2.5Y 5/2) with light olive brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6) and with light olive
brown mottles (2.5Y 5/6).
4.6 Priority Habitats and Species
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDF\'V) Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) maps
and data identify a Biodiversity Area and Corridor (Cedar River Valley Open Space Areas) onsite,
primarily located in the riparian corridor associated with the stream. WDFW's interactive data map
(Salmonscape) identifies no streams with fish presence within 300 feet of the subject property. No

priority habitats or Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive plant or animal species were identified
during this investigation. The PHS and SalmonScape maps are provided in Appendix B5 and B6,
respectively.
4.7 Precipitation
Precipitation data was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) weather station at SeaTac Airport in order to obtain percent of normal precipitation during
and preceding the investigation. A summary of data collected is provided in Table 1.

•
Precipitation for the month is the same as for the Year-to-Datc.
\'Vater Year is precipitation from October 1, 20t 3.
Percent of Donnal is shown as for the day/for the year .
The precipitation data indicates approximately 1.75 inches of precipitation fell within the two weeks
prior to the last visit and precipitation was nearly normal (92 percent of normal) for the water year.
However, these metrics do not reflect the extremely high rainfall encountered during March 2014,
which was 9.44 inches and 253% above normal. In fact, March of 2014 was the wettest March on
record for the SeaTac record, surpassing the old record of 8.40 inches (National Weather Service,
2014). The precipitation data suggests that daily rain events may have caused areas not normally wet
to become saturated and/or inundated at the time of the site investigation, and such conditions were
considered in making professional wetland boundary determinations.
4.8 Prior Electrofishing Survey
A previous electro fishing survey was conducted by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. in 2006. This survey
documented fish presence in the East Fork of Maplewood Creek, which corresponds to the onsite
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 herein. However, this prior assessment also identified a natural
fish passage barrier in the southeastern portion of the project site. Two adult cutthroat trout and six
fry were documented during this electro fishing survey just below the plateau that creates the
lowermost natural fish passage barrier. Cedarock Consultants, Inc. recommended that the reach
downstream of the natural fish passage barrier be classified as a Class 2 stream and the upstream
reach be classified as a Class 3 stream per RMC Section 4-3-050 L.5. A map provided in this prior
survey report is included in Appendix B7.

Chapter 5. Results
5.1 Drainages
The site investigation identified two aquatic features onsite, including one regulated stream
(Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303) and one non-regulated, artificially constructed swale.
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 runs north to south in the easternmost parcel on the subject
property (King Counry Parcel Number 1523059067). The constructed swale runs west to east and
drains to the stream.
5.1.1 Constructed Swale
The artificially constructed swale originates from a series of curtain drains and catch basins draining
adjacent areas and containing multiple single-family residences and discharges to an outfall located
above Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303. The constructed swale exhibited some wetland
characteristics, including hydrophytic vegetation (reed canarygrass) due to lack of regular
maintenance on the drainage channel; however, the swale is documented as an artificial drainage
feature constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature as part of a stormwater and
groundwater management plan for the site. Therefore, the swale does not meet wetland criteria as
defined by Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-11-230 and 4-3-050 M and should not be regulated as a
wetland feature or stream. The feature also does not meet RCW 90.48 or 36.70A.030(21) criteria for
regulation as a wetland or stream by the State of \Xlashington.
The artificially constructed swale is documented to be of anthropogenic origin where no naturally
derived channel had previously existed, is known to collect and convey surface water and/or
groundwater from adjacent developed areas, and is non-fish bearing; therefore, the swale meets the
criteria of a non-regulated, Class 5 waterbody under fuVlC 4-3-050 L.1.a.v. Class 5 waterbodies are
exempt from all regulations under fuVlC 4-3-050 L. The outfall for this constructed swale would be
treated similarly; however, the outfall is located in the buffer for Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303.
This outfall can be removed as part of the buffer enhancement plan detailed in Chapter 7 of this
report. A summary of the constructed swale is provided in Table 2 below:

5.1.2 Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303
The onsite tributary to Maplewood Creek (0303) originates offsite in developed residential areas to
the northeast and northwest of the subject property and discharges onto the subject property
through a culvert under SE 2nd Place. Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 flows southerly across the
property in a broad, low-flow channel with a low-gradient riparian corridor in the north with
increasingly steep slopes adjacent to the channel as it enters a ravine and approaches the southern
boundary. The stream leaves the subject property and turns west to enter Maplewood Creek,
approximately 2,000 feet to the so uth and west of the property. Observed flows indicated that the
onsite portion of the trib utary is likely perennial; however, precipitation for March was above
normal, and there is a possibility that the stream may be seasonal.
North of the culvert under SE 2nd Place, Ihe Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is identified as a
Class 4 waterbody by the City of Re nton; however, once the stream enters the property from the
north, the City of Renton identifies the tributary as a Class 3 water body. A report disclosed to
Soundview Consultants ILC and the Applicant by the City of Renton in Jun e of 2014 identifies a
small onsite section of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 as a Class 2 waterbody with the rest of the
onsite stream being Class 3. A clear and distinct natural fish passage barrier is located just upstream
of where salmonid fry and cutthroat trout were detected b y Cedarock Consultants, Inc. in 2006. This
Class 2 designation in the lowermost reach of the stream was confirmed by Soundview Consultan ts
ILC Staff Scie nti sts on July 1, 2014.
The steep gradients and several natural fish passage barriers within the on site stream reach between
the Class 2 and Class 3 waters, including subsurface flows and a 10-foot vertical drop, indicate that
salmo nid s do not and cannot migrate up the tributary and are not likely prese nt upstream of where
salmonids we re detected.

onsite are dominated by non-native invasive species in some areas and
contain of waste and other .
Of the two drainage features, only Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is required to have a buffer
under RMC 4-3-050 L.5.a.i.(b). The artificially constructed drainage swale is identified as a Class 5
waterbody, as described above, and is not likely regulated by the City of Renton or other State and
Federal agencies; therefore, no buffer is required for this constructed feature .
As a Class 2 and Class 3 stream, the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 requires a buffer width of 100
feet and 75 feet, respectively. Onsite, the buffer consists of deciduous riparian forest with a canopy
dominated b y black cottonwood and red alder. Some areas of the understory include native shrubs,
primarily salmonberry, but many areas are dominated by Himalayan blackberry and other non-native
invasive species . Portions of the offsite buffer are modified with moderate to high density
development on adjacent properties to the east. In addition, a gravel driveway and many piles of
yard waste and debris are located in onsite areas of the western portion of the buffer associated with
adjacent single-family residences and maintained neighboring yards. With buffer averaging and
minor buffer enhancement and restoration measures, the modified Class 2 and 75-foot Class 3
buffers will be more than adequate to protect stream function s.

The proposed project is located in the City of Renton. The site investigation identified one
regulated stream and one non-regulated swale on the property. No other potentially regulated
wetlands, streams, or other fish and wildlife habitat were identified on or within 115 feet of the
subject property. The buffer area of the onsite stream is somewhat degraded in the north, being
vegetated by Himalayan blackberty and other invasive species and containing a substantial number
of yard waste and debris piles and a gravel driveway. Local, State, and Federal regulatory implications
are addressed below:
6.1 Local and State Requirements
The constructed swale exhibited some wetland characteristics, including hydrophytic vegetation
(reed canarygrass) due to lack of regular maintenance on the drainage channel; however, the swale is
documented as an artificial drainage fearure constructed in 1993 as a landscape and drainage feature
intended to be part of a stormwater and groundwater management plan for the site. Therefore, the
swale does not meet wetland criteria as defined by Renton Municipal Code (fu'vIC) 4-11-230 and
4-3-050 M and should not be regulated as a wetland fearure or stream. As the artificially constructed
swale is documented to be of anthropogenic origin where no naturally derived channel had
previously existed, and as the swale is known to collect and convey surface water and/or
groundwater from adjacent developed areas, the swale meets the criteria of a non-regulated, Class 5
waterbody under Rt'vIC 4-3-050 L.1.a.v. Class 5 waterbodies are exempt from all regulations by the
City of Renton under Rt'vIC 4-3-050 L. The feature also does not meet RCW 90.48 or
36.70A.030(21) criteria for regulation by the State of Washington as a wetland or stream.
Maplewood Creek Tributaty 0303 is identified on the northern onsite portion as a Class 3
waterbody. According to Rt'vIC4-3-050 L 1.a.iii., Class 3 waterbodies are non-salmon-bearing
perennial waters during years of normal rainfall and require a 75-foot buffer. The downstream, or
southern, onsite portion of Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 is identified as a Class 2 waterbody.
According to RMC 4-3-050 L l.a.ii, Class 2 waterbodies are salmon-bearing and perennial or
intermittent waterbodies. A Class 2 waterbody under Rt'vIC 4-3-050 L.5.a.i.(a) requires a one
hundred foot minimum buffer. The project is located a minimum of 75 feet from the Class 3 reach
of the stream, but stormwater infrastructure must be located closer than 100 feet to the Class 2
reach; therefore, minor buffer averaging is necessary adjacent to the Class 2 designated reach. In
addition, placement of a pervious walking trail and treated stormwater outfall are proposed within
the Class 3 buffer, and some minor grading (approximately 3,000 square feet) is necessary in the
modified Class 2 buffer. These additional actions will result in minor impacts, which will be offset
with natural vegetation enhancement and restoration actions within the stream buffer. Any activity
proposed within the buffer must comply with the following standards as outlined in RMC 4-3-050
L.6:
aJ Preservation of Native Vegetation: Existing lIative vegetation shall be preseroed to the extmt possible,
preferably ill consolidated a/~as.
bJ Revegetation Required: Where Ivater body bujfer disturballce has oCCllmd ill accordance Ivith exel1lption

areas is part of all ellhancemet1t proposal that impr()/Jes ecological/tlllction of the al~a protected by the blrffor.
The buffer averaging and enhancement plan, as described in detail in Chapter 7, proposes removal
of non-native invasive species, yard waste piles, and the existing gravel driveway and planting of all
disturbed areas with native species in compliance with these reguirements. In fact, the value and
benefit of the buffer enhancement and restoration actions proposed will greatly exceed the minor
and temporary impacts associated with placement of the walking trail, storm outfall, and minor
grading near the storm pond. No impervious surface currently exists or is proposed within in the
buffer area. In addition, buffer averaging will result in no net loss of stream buffer extent or
functionality (see site plans in Appendix C).
Along with providing enhancement and restoration actions, the project must meet the additional
criteria for permit approval described in RMC 4-3-050 L.7.a and b, which reguire that (a) as a
condition of any approval for any development permit issued, a native growth protection area must
be created containing the stream area and associated buffer and (b) the action must result in no net
loss of regulated area or ecological function in the drainage area. The native growth protection area
will be established using a separate tract with deed restriction per Rt'V[C 4-3-050 EA.c. option iii. The
native growth protection area will encompass all areas of the site east of the final buffer line detailed
on Sheet 3 of Appendix D.
As stated previously, the benefits of the proposed enhancement and restoration actions far exceed
the minor and temporary buffer impacts proposed by the project. In addition, a native growth
protection area will be created to protect the stream and buffer in perpetuity. \'{Iith the enhancement
actions proposed in Chapter 7 of this report, the native growth protection area will comply with the
standards set forth in RMC 4-3-050 EA.b.
6.2 Federal Regulatory Considerations
The results of the 2014 site investigation identified one stream and one excavated drainage swale.
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 receives water from natural and artificial sources upstream of the
site and has a documented direct surface water connection to waters of the U.S. known to be
regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The drainage swale appears to have
been originally constructed in upland soils for the purpose of conveying stormwater runoff from
adjacent driveways and residences and grou'1dwater from drainage systems. The swale does not
receive water from any sources potentially regulated under Section 404 of the CW A. In a December
2, 2008 memorandum from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE, joint
guidance is provided that describes waters that are to be regulated under section 404 of the CWA
(USACE, 2008). This memorandum was amended on February 2, 2012 where the EPA and
USACE issued a final !,>uidance letter on waters protected by the CW A.

The 2012 guidance describes the following waters where jurisdiction would be asserted: 1) traditional
navigable waters, 2) interstate waters, 3) wetlands adjacent to traditional navigable waters, 4) non-
navigable tributaries of traditional navigable waters that are relatively permanent meaning they
contain water at least seasonally (e.g. typically three months and does not include ephemeral waters),
and 5) wetlands that directly abut permanent waters. The regulated waters are those associated with
narurally occurring waters and water courses and not artificial waters (i.e. stormwater pond outfalls).
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 fits the description of Item 4 and is clearly regulated under
Section 404 of the CWI A
The 2012 memorandum further goes on to describe waters where jurisdiction would likely require
further analysis: 1) Tributaries to traditional navigable waters or interstate waters, 2) \X1etlands
adjacent to jurisdictional tributaries to traditional navigable waters or interstate waters, and 3) \X1aters
that fall under the "other waters" category of the regulations.
In addition, the 2012 guidance identifies thirteen waters or areas where jurisdiction will not be
asserted: 1) \X1et areas that are not tributaries or open waters and do not meet the agencies regulatory
definition of "wetlands", 2) Wlaters excluded from coverage under the CWiA by existing regulations,
3) \X1aters that lack a "significant nexus: where one is required for a water to be jurisdictional, 4)
Artificially irrigated areas that would revert to upland if the irrigation ceased, 5) Artificial lakes or
ponds created by excavating and/or diking dry land to collect and retain water and which are used
exclusively for such purposes as stock watering, irrigation, settling basins, or rice growing, 6)
Artificial reflecting pools or swimming pools excavated in uplands, 7) Small ornamental waters
created by excavating and/or diking dry land to retain water for primarily aesthetic reasons, and
puddles, 8) Water-filled depressions created incidental to construction activity, 9) Groundwater,
including groundwater drained through subsurface drainage systems, 10) Erosional features (gullies
and rills), 11) Non-wetland swales, 12) Ditches that are excavated wholly in uplands, drain only
uplands or non-jurisdictional waters, and have no more than ephemeral flow, and 13) Ditches that
do not contribute flow, either directly or through other waterbodies, to a traditional navigable water,
interstate water, or territorial sea.
The drainage swale identified on the subject property lacks a defined bed and bank and was clearly
constructed from uplands as documented by the prior landowner. The source of water that may be
found within this swale is stormwater associated with roadside runoff and a high groundwater
collection system. The excavated swale identified onsite appears to fit at least 3 of the criteria (Items
7, 9, and 12) for which the agencies are directed not to assert jurisdiction over; however, previous
experience with the Seattle Branch of the USACE's interpretation of the guidance indicates agency
staff sometimes will try to assert jurisdiction over such features. However, it is highly unlikely such
assertion of jurisdiction over this swale is defensible given the documentation of the swale.
Should the USACE decide to assert jurisdiction over the swale under Section 404 of the CWI A, the
project would still likely be covered under a simplified CWiA Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWlP)
29 for residential development projects as the limit of State and Federal permitting efforts under
Sections '401 and 404 of the CWiA. Final determination of NWiP coverage, though not likely
necessary, is at the discretion of the USACE, and other minor NWiP's, such as a NWIP 18, may be
also be used to authorize this project.

Federal permitting efforts would also trigger Section 7 review under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA). The same permitting requirements would also trigger Section 106 review under the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) due to the extent of land-disturbing actions. As no Federal
permitting is likely necessary, documentation for such additional review requirements is not being
prepared at this time and will not be prepared in the future unless USACE staff can justify a
regulatory nexus with the proposed project.

Chapter 7. Buffer Averaging and Enhancement Plan
The following sections present the proposed buffer averaging and enhancement plan with minor
restoration actions ro address the buffer impacts associated with the proposed project and satisfy
buffer width and native growth protection area criteria. The proposed averaging and enhancement
actions attempt to closely adhere to local Critical Areas Regulations specified in RMC 4-3-050 L.5.d
and 4-3-050 EA and L.6-7, respectively. The proposed buffer averaging and enhancement plan is
provided in Appendix D.
The buffer enhancement plan proposes to remove the Himalayan blackberry and other non-native
invasive vegetation by providing a chemical application (pre-treatment) of the invasive plants prior
to grubbing, which would occur during the dry season to minimize any potential impact to
Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 and its downstream tributaries. Additional enhancement actions
will include clean up and removal of the gravel driveway and the significant number of yard waste
and debris piles located within the buffer to mitigate for the addition of a pervious walking trail
along the perimeter of the buffer. This plan proposes enhancement efforts within the stream buffer
wherever needed at the discretion of the responsible wetland scientist and restoration actions
wherever minor grading actions disturb the perimeter of the buffer such as stormwater outfall
placement and installation of the stormwater pond. No actions are proposed that will intrude into or
affect the stream channel. Please see Appendix D for planting specifications and details.
7.1 Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide additional residential units and associated
infrastrucrure within the Ciry of Renton. The project proposes to develop a plat of forty-seven (47)
residential units with all necessary parking, driveways, utilities and associated infrastructure. A
minimum 75-foot protective buffer will be implemented to protect the regulated Class 3 stream and
an averaged 100-foot buffer will be implemented to protect the Class 2 reach of the same stream. In
addition, only temporary impacts are proposed to onsite stream buffers through enhancement and
restoration actions. The project seeks to mitigate for the minor temporary impacts associated with
necessary placement of a treated stormwater outfall and grading in the onsite buffer area and
provide compliance with native growth protection area requirements.
7.2 Description of Impacts
No direct adverse impacts are proposed to any regulated critical area, as Maplewood Creek Tributary
0303 will not be directly impacted by the proposed project. However, the project proposes to place a
walking trail, treated stormwater outfall, approximately 3,000 square feet of temporary grading
within the stream buffer, resulting in minor temporary impacts. Surface water and a portion of the
roof water from the proposed residential plat will be directed to a detention pond which will treat
and discharge stormwater into a dispersion trench which will direct the treated water to the stream
buffer. In addition, vegetation enhancement and restoration actions within the buffer will result in
temporary disturbance only, with a resultant beneficial effect.
The existing buffer onsite is degraded by the dominance of invasive Himalayan blackberry, the
presence of yard waste and debris piles, and the gravel driveway. The dense blackberry and yard
waste piles keep emergent vegetation suppressed near the stream channel thus causing increased

runoff and erosion to limit water quality functions within the buffer. The proposed project will
substantially improve stream buffer functions including enhanced wildlife habitat and improvements
to water quality functions by establishing a highly structured native plant community and
constructing a protective fence with signage to prevent continued disturbance of buffer areas. In
addition, pedestrian access within the buffer will be contained by establishment of a low-impact trail
system to curtail trampling of native vegetation and inappropriate uses within the buffer. Other than
the gravel areas proposed to be removed, no impervious surface currently exists within the buffer
nor is proposed to be placed in the buffer by the proposed project. The proposed project does not
propose to negatively impact offsite drainages nor will it be detrimental to any other property.
Only a small portion of the stream buffer will be temporarily impacted during installation of
pervious walking trail, outfall, and minor grading near the stormwater pond. The alignment of the
outfall has been designed to avoid significant native conifers, and temporaty impacts will be limited
to the smallest area necessary to allow installation located outside of OHW. Once installation of
these items is complete, the disturbed areas will be finish graded and replanted with native
vegetation. The extent of buffer enhancement and restoration actions proposed will meet all native
growth protection area requirements and will greatly exceed any mitigation necessaty for the minor
and temporary impacts associated with placement of the outfall.
7.3 Mitigation Approach and Best Management Practices
The proposed enhancement and restoration plan is intended to provide an appropriate stream buffer
functions without loss of area and non-compensatory enhancement and restoration actions for any
temporary impacts. The plan will also enhance the overall buffer functionality to meet native
growth protection area requirements. Onsite buffer areas are dominated by Himalayan blackberry
and contain significant numbers of yard waste and debris piles. Proposed enhancement actions
include treatment and removal of invasive vegetation, removal of yard waste and debris piles,
planting with native trees and shrubs, and establishment of an herbaceous understory to allow the
return of a forested canopy and enhance water quality and habitat functions of Maplewood Creek
Tributary 0303.
Impacts to the stream are being fully avoided, and impacts to the buffer are being minimized
through careful planning efforts and project design. Enhancement and restoration actions will occur
concurrently with the development of the plat. Temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC)
measures will be implemented that consists of high-visibility fencing (HVF) installed around native
vegetation within the buffer, silt fencing between the graded areas and buffer, plastic sheeting on
stockpiled materials, and seeding of disturbed soils. These TESC measures should be installed prior
to the start of development or enhancement actions and actively managed for the duration of the
project.
A concrete wash water collection basin should also be installed away from the buffer prior to
commencement of construction activities requiring additional concrete work. All equipment staging
and materials stockpiles should be kept out of the buffer, and the area will need to be kept free of
spills and/or hazardous materials. All fill material and road surfacing should be sourced from
upland areas onsite or from approved suppliers, and will need to be free of pollutants and hazardous
materials. Construction materials along with all construction waste and debris should be effectively
managed and stockpiled on paved surfaces and kept free of the remaining wetland and stream buffer
area. Following completion of the residence, the entire site should be cleaned and detail graded

using hand tools wherever necessary, and TESC measures will need to be removed. In addition,
permanent stormwater treatment fearures will need to be implemented as designed by the project
engineer.
7.4 Buffer Averaging Efforts
As a result of the re-classification of the southeast onsite reach of the stream from a Class 3 to a
Class 2, buffer averaging efforts will need to be made to accommodate the stormwater pond. \Vith
careful planning, buffer width modification using the buffer averaging standards set forth in RMC 4-
3-050 L5.d may be applied to this project if several criteria for approval are followed; including,
buffer width will not result in a net loss of ecological function, the total buffer area is no less than
the required standard, and the buffer standard is based on best available science. The buffer
averaging efforts for this project included an assessment of existing site conditions, critical areas and
physical limitations, stream class designation, and anticipated project needs. The proposed buffer
averaging efforts are very minor and attempt to strike a balance berween these elements in a manner
that allows the best use of the site while maintaining the integrity of the existing critical areas. '
Careful planning and targeted implementation of the buffer averaging exercise detailed on Sheet 2 of
Appendix D, along with buffer enhancement actions, will help ensure that no additional negative
impacts will be made to the critical areas identified in this assessment. Expansion of buffer areas
surrounding sensitive areas and implementation of effective restoration and enhancement measures
will also help ensure that water quality and fish and wildlife habitat functions will be improved from
its current state. The buffer reduction is only proposed within the outermost extent of the onsite
buffer where the stream was re-classified as a Class 2 waterbody. Increase in buffer area is proposed
an adjacent area that is situated berween the proposed residences and the stream. The proposed
buffer averaging plan increases overall total buffer area on the site by 1,442 square feet (from
existing 1,730 square feet to the proposed 3,172 square feet). As the proposed actions will increase
overall buffer functionality, no net loss of buffer function or arca is proposed.
7.5 Enhancement Actions
Enhancement and restoration actions for the buffer include, but may not be limited to, the following
recommendations:
• Pre-treat invasive plants, such as English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and Scotch broom,
b'1'owing in the tributary buffer with a Washington Department of Agriculture approved
herbicide. After pre-treatment, grub to remove the invasive plants and replant all cleared
areas with native trees, shrubs, and ground covers listed in Appendix C; Pre-treatment of the
invasive plants should occur a minimum of rwo weeks prior to removal;
• Remove gravel associated with the existing gravel driveway and break up the compacted soil
with a ripper attachment or tiller. Seed and plant disrurbed areas;
• Only native trees, shrubs, and ground covers listed in Appendix C, or substitutes approved
by the responsible wetland scientist, will be used in disturbed areas to help retain soils, filter
stormwater, and increase biodiversity of macroinvertebrates (i.e. insects);
• An approved native seed mix will be used to seed the disrurbed areas after planting trees and
shrubs;

• Maintenance to maintain control of invasive plants will occur annually, at a minimum, or
more frequently if necessary. Maintenance to reduce the growth and spread of invasive
plants is not restricted to chemical applications but may include hand removal, if warranted;
• Dry-season irrigation will be provided as necessary by the property owner to help ensure
plant survival;
• Exterior lights will be directed away from the tributary buffer whenever possible, and
• Activities that generate excessive noise (i.e. generators and air conditioning equipment) will
be placed away from the riparian corridor whenever feasible.
7.6 Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Performance Standards
The goals and objectives for the proposed non-compensatory enhancement and restoration actions
are based on improving buffer functions to compensate for temporary impacts to the buffer. These
actions are capable of improving water quality and hydrologic functions and providing a moderate to
high level of habitat function for stream buffer-associated wildlife. The goals and objectives of the
proposed enhancement actions are as follows:
Goal -lmprove habitat functions associated with the Maplewood Creek Tributary 0303 buffer by
reducing presence of non-native invasive species and increasing presence of habitat features
and diversity within the temporarily impacted buffer.
Objective 1-Increase plant biodiversity in areas where Himalayan blackberry and! or other
invasive species are dominant.
Performance Standard 1 -A minimum of 5 native tree and shrub species will be
present within the enhancement area in all monitoring years.
Performance Standard 2 -The enhanced buffer area onsite will contain a
minimum of 50 percent native species areal coverage by Year 2, 60 percent
areal coverage by Year 3, and 75 percent areal coverage percent by Year 5 of
all strata.
Objective 2 -Effectively control and! or eliminate invasive species from the stream buffer
enhancement areas.
Performance Standard 3 -Non-native invasive plants will not make up more than
15 percent total areal cover in any growing season following Year 1.
7.7 Plant Materials and Installation
7.7.1 Plant Materials
All plant materials to be used for enhancement actions will be nursery grown stock from a reputable,
local source. Only native species are to be used; no hybrids or cultivars will be allowed. Plant
material provided will be typical of their species or variety; if not cuttings they will exhibit normal,
densely-developed branches and vigorous, fibrous root systems. Plants will be sound, healthy,
vigorous plants free from defects, and all forms of disease and infestation.

If container stock is used, such materials shall have been grown in its delivery container for not less
than six months but not more than two years. Plants shall not exhibit rootbound conditions. Under
no circumstances shall container stock be handled by their trunks, stems, or tops. Seed mixture used
for hand or hydroseeding shall contain fresh, clean, and new crop seed mixed by an approved
method. The mixture is specified in Appendix D. ,.
All plant material shall be inspected by the Wetland Scientist upon delivery. Plant material not
conforming to the specifications below will be rejected and replaced by the planting contractor.
Rejected plant materials shall be immediately removed from the site.
Fertilizer will be in the form of Agroform plant tabs or an approved like form. Mulch will consist of
sterile wheat straw or clean recycled wood chips approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch in size and 1/2
inch thick. If free of invasive plant species, the mulch material may be sourced from woody
materials salvaged from the land clearing activities.
7.7.2 Product Handling, Delivery, and Storage
All seed and fertilizer should be delivered in original, unopened, and undamaged containers showing
weight, analysis, and name of manufacturer. This material should be stored in a manner to prevent
wetting and deterioration. All precautions customary in good trade practice shall be taken in
preparing plants for moving. Workmanship that fails to meet industry standards will be rejected.
Plants will be packed, transported, and handled with care to ensure protection against injury and
from drying out. If plants cannot be planted immediately upon delivery they should be protected
with soil, wet peat moss, or in a manner acceptable to the project biologist. Plants, fertilizer, and
mulch not installed immediately upon delivery shall be secured on the site to prevent theft or
tampering. No plant shall be bound with rope or wire in a manner that could damage or break the
branches. Plants transported on open vehicles should be secured with a protective covering to
prevent windburn.
7.7.3 Preparation and Installation of Plant Materials
The planting locations shown in Appendix D are approximate and subject to modification to meet
site-specific needs. The planting contractor shall verify the location of all elements of the
enhancement plan with the Wetland Scientist prior to installation. The responsible Wetland
Scientist reserves the right to adjust the locations of landscape elements during the installation
period as appropriate to the enhancement actions outlined above. If obstructions are encountered
that are not shown on the drawings, planting operations will cease until alternate plant locations
have been selected by and/or approved by the Wetland Scientist.
Circular plant pits with vertical sides will be excavated for all container stock. The pits should be at
least 12 inches in diameter, and the depth of the pit should accommodate the entire root system.
The bottom of each pit will be scarified to a depth of 4 inches.
Broken roots should be pruned with a sharp instrument and rootballs should be thoroughly soaked
prior to installation. Set plant material upright in the planting pit to proper grade and alignment.
Water plants thoroughly midway through backfilling and add Agroform tablets. Water pits again

upon completion of backfilling. No filling should occur around trunks or stems. Do not use frozen
or muddy mixtures for backfilling. Form a ring of soil around the edge of each planting pit to retain
water, and install a 4 to 6 inch layer of mulch around the base of each container plant.
7.7.4 Temporary Irrigation Specifications
While the native species selected for enhancement are hardy and typically thrive in northwest
conditions, and the proposed enhancement actions are planned in areas with sufficient hydroperiods
for the species selected, some individual plants might perish due to dry conditions. Therefore,
irrigation or regular watering will be provided as necessary for the duration of the first 2 growing
seasons while the native plantings become established.
7.7.5 Invasive Plant Control and Removal
Invasive species to be removed include Himalayan blackberry and all listed noxious weeds. These
species can also be found nearby; therefore, to ensure these species do not expand following the
enhancement actions, invasive shrubs within the enhancement and restoration areas will be
pretreated with a root-killing herbicide approved for use in aquatic sites (i.e. Rodeo) approximately
30 days prior to being cleared and grubbed from the entire wetland and associated buffer. The pre-
treatment with herbicide should occur prior to all planned mitigation actions, and spot treatment of
any surviving other invasive vegetation should be performed again each fall prior to leaf senescence
for a minimum of 3 years.
A maintenance program requiring annual removal of invasive species within all wetland buffer areas
by a homeowner's association following project completion, and written into the subdivision's
Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions, is also recommended. This program should start during the
early summer of Year 1 of the monitoring program.
7.8 Maintenance & Monitoring
The applicant is committed to compliance with the proposed enhancement plan and overall success
of the project. As such, the applicant will continue to maintain the project, keeping the site free
from of non-native invasive vegetation, trash, and yard waste.
The enhancement site will be monitored for a period of 5 years with formal inspections by a
qualified Wetland Scientist. The maintenance/monitoring period will begin upon completion of an
as-built plan and certification from a Professional Wetland Scientist or Scientist with equivalent
qualifications certifying the mitigation was installed per the enhancement and restoration plan.
Monitoring events will be scheduled at the time of construction, 30 days after planting, and late in
the first through final year's 'growing seasons in Years 1, 2, 3, and 5. A closeout assessment will also
be conducted in Year 5 to ensure the adequate restoration and enhancement measures have been
provided.
Monitoring will consist of percent cover measurements at permanent sampling points, walk-through
surveys to identify invasive species presence and dead or dying restoration plantings, photographs
taken at fixed photo points, wildlife observations, and verification of dispersion trench function and
general qualitative buffer function observations. Percent cover of all herbaceous species will be

measured along each transect at 30-foot intervals using a .25 meter quadrant. Average values for
each site will he determined from all quadrants measured along each transect.
7.9 Reporting
Following each monitoring event, a hrief monitoring report detailing the current ecological status of
the stream huffer, measurement of performance standards, and management recommendarions will
he prepared and suhmitted to the City of Renton within 90 days of each monitoring event to ensure
full compliance with the mitigation plan, performance standards, and regulatory conditions of
approval.
7.10 Contingency Plans
If monitoring results during the first 3 years indicate that performance standards are not being met,
it may be necessary to implement all or part of the contingency plan. Careful attention to
maintenance is essential in ensuring that problems do not arise. Should any portion of the site fail to
meet the success criteria, a contingency plan will he developed and implemented with City of
Renton approval. Such plans are adaptive and should be prepared on a case-by-case hasis to reflect
the failed mitigation characteristics. Conringency plans can include additional plant installation, and
plant substitutions including type, size, and location.
Contingency/maintenance activities may include, but are not limited to:
1. Replacing plants lost to vandalism, drought, or disease, as necessary;
2. Replacing any plant species with a 20 percent or greater mortality rate after 2 growing seasons
with the same species or native species of similar form and function;
3. Irrigating the enhancement areas only as necessary during dry weather if plants appear to be
too dry, with a minimal quantity of water;
4. Reseeding and/or repair of stream buffer areas as necessary if erosion or sedimentation
occurs, or
5. Removing all trash or undesirable dehris from the stream and buffer areas as necessary.
7.11 Early Closeout
If the Year 3 monitoring effort indicates all Performance Standards are being met, the Applicant
may petition the City of Renton for early closeout of the monitoring period. Such a petition mal' be
made using the Year 3 monitoring report and a written request to City of Renton staff.

Chapter 8. Closure
The findings and conclusions documented in this report have been prepared for specific application
to the Copperwood Residential Plat. They have been developed in a manner consistent with that
level of care and skill normally exercised by members of the environmental science profession
currently practicing under similar conditions in the area. The conclusions and recommendations
presented in this report are professional opinions based on an interpretation of information
currently available to us and are made within the operation scope, budget, and schedule of this
project. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. In addition, changes in government codes,
regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and conclusions
applicable to this site may need to be revised wholly or in part.
\V'etland determinations and regulatory recommendations made by Soundview Consultants LLC are
based on conditions present at the time of the site visit and considered preliminary until validated by
the jurisdictional agencies. Validation of the extent and jurisdictional status of all potentially
regulated features by the regulating agency provides a certification, usually written, that the features
that will, or will not, be regulated by the agencies until a specific date or until the regulations are
modified. Only the regulating agencies can provide this certification.
Since wetlands and streams are dynamic communities affected by both natural and human activities,
changes in wetland boundaries may be expected; therefore, delineations cannot remain valid for an
indefinite period of time. Local agencies typically recognize the validiry of wetland and stream
assessments for a period of 5 years after completion of an assessment. Development activities on a
site 5 years after the completion of this report may require revisions. In addition, changes in
government codes, regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and
conclusions applicable to this site may need to be revised wholly or in part.

Cedar River Mainstem
INTRODUCTION
The Mainstem subarea consists of the Cedar River valley floor and its steep walls, and the
surrounding plateau areas that drain small, unnamed tributaries. The valley extends roughly 17
miles from Renton to Landsburg, varying in width from a few hundred to a few thousand feet .
. While the Mainstem subarea represents less than I S% of the 66-square-mile basin planning area,
. it includes the largest and most hazardous flood risk sites and is disproportionately rich in both
current and potential future aquatic resources. Therefore, actions in this subarea are given very
high priority.
Major human alterations to the Cedar River valley began in the late 18008 and have included
logging, railroad construction, agricultural land conversion, dam construction and water
diversion, redirection of the river's outlet, construction oflevees and revetments, dredging, and
more recently, urbanizatiolL These activities have had significant impacts both on flood risks and
aquatic habitat. Channelization of the river through Renton and construction of levees and
revetments along 14 of the 21 river mites in the Mainstem subarea have encouraged agricultural,
residential, and commercial development within the floodplain, placing more property at risk of
flood damage. .
Flood-control projects have provided limited localized flood protection at the cost of aggravating
upstream and dQwnstream flood damages by removing floodplain storage and increasing· flood
depths and velocities. To date, the most significant flooding damage has occurred in the City of
Renton (river mile [RM) 0.0-1.6), along lower Jones Road (RM 5.4-6.0), upstream and
downstream of Cedar Grove Road (RM 10.6-12.0), along lower Bain Road (RM 14.6), and in the
neighborhood ofDorre Don (RM 15.8-16.4).
Aquatic habitats within the Mainstem subarea have been reduced significantly in both quantity
and quality by logging, floodplain development, river engineering, and diversion of river flow.
Large woody debris recruitment has declined, meanders and side channels have been cut off, .
riparian wetlands have been filled, the river has narrowed, and summer flows have been
depleted. Generally. these changes have tended to reduce the hydraulic complexity that supports
the wide variety of salinonid species and life stages that depend on the river.
The Mainstem subarea recommendations consist of capital improvement projects (CIPs) and
programs that focus mainly on the two primary. and often rel!lted, issues of flood-damage
redUCtion and aquatic babitat restoration and enhancement. These recommendations strive to:
1. Remove or protect occupied structures from the most hazardous aress;
2. Modify or remove certain existing levees and revetments, allowing the river access to its
historical floodplains and restoring floodplain storage;
3. Protect, restore, and enhance existing aquatic habitat; and
4. Prevent siting of additional structures within hazardous areas.

These objectives are consistent with the goals and policies of the King·County Flood Hazard
Reduction Plan, which was adopted by the King County Council in 1993. In fact, the Mainstem
subarea recommendations follow many specific sOlutions outlined by the Flood Hazard
Reduction Plan, and augment them by adding water quality and aquatic habitat restoration and
enhancement components to create a more comprehensive floodplain management program for
basin planning area.
As explained in "Mainstem Recommendations," under "Recommendations to Reduce Flood
Damage" in Chapter 2, properties proposed for acquisition would be acquired only on a
willing-seller basis. Landowners who choose not to sell to the County would not face any penalty
or loss of existing benefit as a result oftheir dedsion.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
See Chapter 4 for the complete text of all recommendations, the locations of which are shown on
Figures 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4 at the end of this section ..
Capital Improvement Projects
* Denotes Core Plan recommendations, which are those recommendations that would
accomplish, at a minimum, the major Plan goals (see Chapter 5).
* Rainbow Bend Flood-Damage ReductioalFloodplaln Restoration (CIP 3108):
Approximately 55 mobile homes in the Cedar Grove Mobile Home Park and nine nearby
permanent houses on the right bank betweenRM 10.8 and RM 11.3, below Cedar Grove Road,
were damaged by fast, deep flood flows, erosion, and deposits of large debris during the
November 1990 flood. The pennanent houses are ~ubject to hazardous flows when the Rainbow
Bend levee overtops. The mobile home park, at the downstream, unleveed end of this reach,
experiences hazardous flooding during much smaller, more frequent events. Emergency access
to and egress from all Muses in this reach are frequently· blocked by flooding. This area is a
high-velocity floodway and presents serious thrests to human safety. This recommendation
would purchase and remove all occupied structures from this reach and reestablish the
floodplain's aquatic habitst and flood storage functiol!ll. Because the mobile home park provides
affordable bousing to low income families, and becau!IC King County policy requires relocation
assistance and replacement housing when displacements from below-market-rate housing are
unavoidable,' the }llan recommends offering these services. rather than a simple market-value
buyout, to the mobile home residents. A park closure plan would also be developed to include
oWllers and tenants in the planning, design, and implementstion of this recommendation. A
potential relocation site is the adjacent Stoneway Sand and Gravel mine, once it has been
reclaimed. .
* Dorre Don Flood.Damage ReductioDIFJoodplaill Restoration (CIP 3102): Several houses,
a COlmty road, and a County-maintained levee in this neighborhood, located on the right bank of
the Cedar River surrounding the railroad bridge at RM 16.4, have been damaged repeatedly by
• King Cpunty Comprehensive Plan Policy R· 108.

debris and fast, deep floodwaters. The Basin Plan's highest-priority flood-damage reduction
recommendation would pUTchase and remove the 20 houses in the most hazardous locations,
eliminating the flood threat to these residents. It would also remove the upstream portion of the
Lower Dorre Don levee and restore approximately six acres of floodplain to its historic aquatic
habitat and floodwater Storage functions. In addition, approximately 600 linear feet of Lower
Dorre Don Way would be elevated to continue to provide sole access to the remaining eight,
less-severely threatened houses.
* Elliot Bridge/Lower Jones Road Flood-Damage Reduction (CIP 3111): Below Elliot
Bridge (RM 5.4), two left-bank houses were inundated by water over three feet in depth dUTing
.the November 1990 flood. Upstream, to RM 6.0,22 houses between Jones Road and the Cedar
River experienced erosive, high-velocity flows as is common during large floods. Eighteen
houses on 156th Place SE are inaccessible when Jones Road floods, an approximately 2-year
occurrence, and 20 additional houses are exposed to less-hazardous flooding during large events.
This recommendation would purchase and remove the 24 houses in the most hazardous areas,
raise approximately 2,300 linear feet of Jones Road to, ensure access to lS6th Place SE and to
reduce flood damage to the less-severely threatened houses. and restote up to 16 acres of flood
storage and habitat area.
*, Rlcardl Flood-Damage ReductionlFloodplain Restoration (CIP 3109): Two houses subject
to frequent hazardous flooding would be purchased and removed. and the area restored as open
space for aquatic habitat and floodwater storage. Nearly one-half of the estimated cost would be,
paid by federal and state matching funds.
• Byers Bend/Cedar Grove Road Flood-Damage Reduction (CIP 3107): Frequent and severe
flood damage to an entire neighborhood would be reduced or eliminated by removing up to eight
houses, raising an additional eight houses; improving the Byers Bend levee, and building an
overbank conveyance channel along Byers Road to carry floodwater safelY back to the Cedar
River. .
* Dorre DOD Court Flood-Damage ReductionlFloodplaln Restoration (CIP 3103): Three
houses subject to hazardous flooding would be removed and the area would be restored as
floodplain for aquatic habitat and floodwater storage.
• Lower Bain Road and Royal Arch Flood-Damage ReductJonlFloodplBin Restoration (CIP
3104): Between three and nine houses, typically flooded at about the to-year event and damaged
by hazardous flows dUTing the November 1990 flood, would be removed and floodplain storage
and habitat would be reestablished.
• Maplewood Flood-Damage Reduction (CIP 311'2): Approximately 60 houses in the
Maplewood subdivision that are threatened with severe damage during the 100-year flood would
be protected by the construction of a 1.200-foot-long levee (to a maximum height of
approximately foUT feet). As mitigation for this activity, a suitable project should be selected and
implemented from the mainstem enhancement and restoration projects listed in basinwide
reconunendation (BW) 6 and Mainstem recommendation (MS) 4 ofthis Plan.
• Jan Road Flood-Damage ReductlonlHabltat Restoration (CIP 3106): Frequent damage to
roads and houses would be reduced and emergency access to 14 houses would be ensured by

~nSln1cting a stable overbank conveyance channel to safely direct floodwaters overtopping the
Jan Road levee back to the Cedar River.
• Riverbend MobUe Borne Park Revetment Modification (CIP 3UO): The rock revetment on
the left bank of this constricted reach of the Cedar River would be recontoured using
bioengineering techniques to provide stability and additional conveyance and aquatic habitat· Up
to 19 mobile homes nearest the river would be moved or purchased and replaced.
• Dorre Don Way SE Elevation (Orchard Grove) (CIP 3101): Approximately 650 linear feet
ofDorre Don Way SB would be raised an average of two feet.to ensure access to 15 houses in
-the Orchard Grove neighborhood currently cut offby floodwater at about the 10-year flood
event
I
• GetchlDan Levee ModlOc:ations (CIP 310S): Frequent damage to the Rhode levee, which
protects nearly 20 houses, would be reduced by moving the Getchman levee back from the cedar
River and strengthening the faces of both structures using bioengineering techniques. One or two
houses at the downstream end of the Rhode levee would be removed.
• Penoo Revetment ModlOc:aUons (CIP 3113): A private revetment would be rccontoured and
strengthened using bioengineering techniques to prevent continued release of large quantities of
sediment. In addition, a gravel mine-site and landslide scar would be stabilized with vegetation_
• Arcad(~oble Flood and Erosion Damage Reduction (CIP 3100): One house. at the
downstream end of this frequently damaged revetment would be removed and up to 1,600 linear
feet of revetment would be modified using bioengineering tcchriiquC!l.
Programmatic Recommendations.
* Denotes Core Plan recommendations, which are those recommendations that would
accomplish, at a rninirnwn, the major Plan goals (see ChaPter S).
* Open Space Acquisition (BW 4): Sites in the Cedar River floodplain have been identified and
prioritized for acquisition as open space to allow protection or restoration of their aquatic habitat
. value. See TabtllS 4-1 and 4-2 in Chapter 4.
* Aquatic Resource Mitigation Bank Sites (BW 6): This recommendation would allow public
agencies to fulfi1l their mainstem mitigation obligations in high-quality mitigation bank sites
away from project sites, where such mitigation may be less effective.
* RoadlUrban Runoff Water Quality Reeo~eDdations (BW 9): The drainage facilities of
1-405 and numerous County roads would be maintained and retrofitted with water quality
controls to reduce the impacts of contaminated road runoff. .
* Water Quality Treatment Standards (BW Il): Sphagnum bog water quality treatment
standards would be applied to all development in catchment MS 16 that drainS to Wetland 38 to

* Debris Flow Protection for MobUe Home Park (MS 11): Owners of a mobile home park on
Tributary 0313, which is at risk ofsevere damage from debris tloW8, would be provided with a
list of alternative private actions that could be taken to reduce their risk.
• Salmonid Productivity (BWs 7 and 8*): These recommendations would support an ongoing
study to determine the causes of salmon decline, and would continue to support a temporary
sockeye hatchery at Landsburg, and reserve the option to use County open space at RM 9.0 for
possible future development as a spawning channel. A final decision to construct a spawning
channel at this site will depend on results of the Lake Washington Ecological Studies and
additional evaluation of the environmental impact ofa spawriing channel at this site relative to
. others, and comparison to other production methods that could produce the desired sockeye fry
production with less COSt and environmental impact. The final decision will be made by the
Cedsr River Sockeye Spawning Channel Policy Committee, or its designee.
• Stormwater Quallty (MS 9, 10*, 11): Extensive source control strategies for cleanup efforts
and elimination of stormwater pollutants are recommended for industrial and commerciai areas
(MS 10). Stormwater discharges from major highways and the Renton Municipal Airport would
be addressed by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System industrial s10rmwater
pollution prevention plans (MS 9, MS II) and the W8!lhington State Department of Ecology
liighway Runoff Program.
• Remove Qualifying Structures from Hazardons Areas (BW I): Occupied structures at high
risk of hazardous flooding, and not included in the ClPs above, would be removed from the
floodplain on a willing-seller basis as they are ideotified and as funding is available.
• Reduce Less-Hazardous Flood Damage (BW 1): Occupied structures at risk of
less-hazardous flooding, many of which are identified in the full text of this .recommendation
found in Chapter 4, may be eligible for technical and limited financial assistance Cor removal or
other f1oodproofing. .
• ModUY Levees and Revetments (MS 5): Selected County-maintained levees and revetments
would be modified, relocated, or removed. to reestablish aquatic habitat and increase the storage
volume of the floodplain. .
• Aquifer Prptection (BW 17): Aquifer recharge and groundwater quality would be protected as
a potable drinking water source.
, " ".
• Urban Stonnwater Mallagement (BW ·18): To promote more efficlent use ofland in the
Renton Urban Growth Area, public/private partnerships would be encollfaged to build regional .
s10nnwater quality and quantity treatment facilities ..

Revised Traffic Impact Analysis
Copperwood Plat
Introduction
July 2014
This traffic impact analysis (TIA) identifies potential transportation-related impacts associated
with the proposed Copperwood Plat residential development.
Project Description
The project is a development of single-family dwelling units located south of SE 2nd Place
and west of 143rd Avenue SE in the City of Renton. The site currently has six existing
homes. The proposed project would relocate one of the existing houses (remove the
remaining) and construct 46 new single-family dwelling units to be completed and occupied
by 2016. Figure 1 illustrates the project site and surrounding vicinity.
A preliminary site plan is shown in Figure 2. As shown in the site plan, two new roadways
would access the site along SE 2nd Place.
Study Scope
This TIA evaluates existing 2014 and future 2016 weekday AM and PM peak hour
intersection operations in the area surrounding the project site. A horizon year of 2016 was
used for all analysis of future conditions as it represents the anticipated build-out year of the
proposed project.
Study Area
The analysis focuses on the weekday AM and PM peak hour (between 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and
4:00 to 6:00 p.m., respectively) operations at four existing off-site study intersections. This is
a revision to the May 2014 TIA, which had three off-site study intersections, in response to
the comments from the City of Renton received on June 19, 2014 adding the NE 4th Street I
Duvall Avenue NE intersection as a study intersection. These periods represent the highest
cumulative total traffic for the adjacent street system providing a conservative timeframe for
level of service (LOS) analysis. The study intersections include (see Figure 1):
1. NE 4th Street I Duvall Avenue NE
2. NE 4th Street I Jericho Avenue NE
3. SE 2nd Place I Jericho Avenue SE

Existing Conditions
This section describes existing conditions within the identified study area. Charac,teristics are
provided for the existing transportation system, existing traffic volumes and operations, and
traffic safety.
Transportation System
The project site is located in the City of Renton south of SE 2nd Place and west of
143rd Avenue SE. Existing roadway characteristics within the vicinity of the project are
described in Table 1.

The channelization and traffic control at the four off-site study intersections can be found in
Figure 3. As shown, the two study intersections located along SE 2nd Place are stop sign
controlled intersections; all-way stop sign controlled at Hoquiam Avenue SE and two-way
stop sign controlled at Jericho Avenue SE. The two intersections along NE 4th Street at
Jericho Avenue NE and Duvall Avenue NE are signalized intersections, coordinated along
NE 4th Street.
The site is located in a single-family residential area in the Renton Highlands near
Maplewood Elementary School. Pedestrian facilities near the site include partial sidewalks
along the north side of SE 2nd Place as well as pedestrian paths or sidewalks along
Jericho Avenue SE. Crosswalks are provided intermittently along Jericho Avenue SE. There
are bike facilities provided along NE 4th Street and bicycles typically share the roadway with
vehicles along the other roadways in the area.
The project site is located in close proximity to transit served by King County Metro Routes
111 and 908. Route 111 travels along Jericho Avenue SE and stops at SE 2nd Place
providing peak hour access to Downtown Seattle. Route 908 is a Dial-a-Ride-Transit (DART)
route that provides service to Downtown Renton; including the transit center as well as the
Renton Senior Center. Route characteristics are summarized in Table 2.

Traffic Volumes
July 2014
Figure 4 illustrates the existing weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the off-site
study intersections. Traffic counts were collected at each study intersection in March 2014
with the exception of the NE 4th Street I Duvall Avenue NE intersection, which was counted
in June 2014. Since school was already released for summer break at the time of this June
2014 traffic count, new traffic counts were collected at NE 4th Street I Jericho Avenue NE as
well. The counts taken in June 2014 at the NE 4th Street I Jericho Avenue NE intersection
were compared to the previous counts from March 2014 and showed that the March counts
were 4 percent and 20 percent higher than the June counts during the AM and PM peak
hours, respectively. In order to account for this difference, the June counts at the NE 4th
Street I Duvall Avenue NE intersection were increased by 4 and 20 percent in the weekday
AM and PM peak hours, respectively, to reflect conditions when school is in session. Detailed
intersection traffic counts are provided in Appendix A. Traffic volumes were rounded to the
nearest five vehicles since weekday volumes fluctuate day-to-day.

Revised Traffic Impact Analysis
Copperwood Plat July 2014
Traffic Operations
The operational characteristics of an intersection are determined by calculating the
intersection's level of service (LOS). The intersection as a whole and its individual turning
movements can be described alphabetically with a range of levels of service
(A through F), with LOS A indicating free-flow traffic and LOS F indicating extreme
congestion and long vehicle delays. LOS is measured in average control delay per vehicle
and is typically reported for the intersection as a whole at signalized intersections and all-way
stop controlled intersections and for the approach or turning movement that experiences the
most delay at two-way stop-controlled intersections. Control delay is defined as the
combination of initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final
acceleration delay. Appendix B provides a more detailed explanation of intersection
LOS criteria.
Existing levels of service, delays, and volume-to-capacity (vic) ratios were calculated using
the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000 methodology. Synchro (version 8.0) was used for
these calculations.
For the operations analysis of existing conditions at the signalized study intersections (NE 4th
Street I Jericho Avenue NE and NE 4th Street I Duvall Avenue NE), signal timing and
phasing information was obtained from the City of Renton and input into Synchro. Existing
peak hour factors and heavy vehicle percentages were used for the operations analysis.
Table 3 shows the weekday AM and PM peak hour existing traffic operations. Detailed
intersection LOS worksheets are contained in Appendix C.

Traffic Safety
July 2014
Collision records were reviewed within the study area to document any potential traffic safety
issues. The most recent summary of collision data from WSDOT is for the three-year period
between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013. A historical review of collisions was
conducted at off-site study intersections.
A summary of the total and average annual number of reported collisions as well as the
collisions rate at each study intersection is provided in Table 4. The collision rate is
representative of the number of collisions per one million entering vehicles (MEV) at each
intersection. Intersections with a rate greater than 1.0 collision per MEV are typically flagged
for further investigation to determine whether an adverse condition exists. As shown in the
table, all study intersections are at or below 0.6 collisions per MEV.

In addition to collisions at study intersections, collisions along SE 2nd Place were also
reviewed as this is the roadway providing access to the site. No collisions were reported
along SE 2nd Place within the vicinity of the project.

Future Without-Project Conditions
This section describes future without-project conditions within the identified study area
including planned improvements, traffic volumes, and traffic operations.
Planned Improvements
Based on a review of the City of Renton's Six-Year (2014-2019) Transportation Improvement
Program, the NE 3rd I NE 4th Street corridor is planned to provide improved traffic operations
including rechannelization and improved signal timing, transit priority at signalized
intersections, queue jumps, and non-motorized improvements for pedestrians, bicyclists, and
transit users. This improvement is planned between 2015 and 2019. No specific
improvements have been identified to be completed by 2016; therefore no changes to the
roadway network have been included in evaluating future 2016 conditions.
Traffic Volumes
Future without-project weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes were estimated by
growing existing traffic volumes by two percent per year to 2016 conditions. This growth rate
was determined in coordination with the City of Renton and is consistent with other projects
completed in the City. No pipeline projects were identified within the study area. Figure 5
illustrates 2016 without-project weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at off-site
study intersections.

AM and PM weekday peak hour intersection operations were evaluated for forecast 2016
without-project conditions. Intersection LOS was calculated at the study intersections using
the LOS methodology described previously. Table 5 summarizes 2016 without-project
weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic operations and compares these forecast conditions to
2014 existing weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions. The detailed LOS

Revised Traffic Impact Analysis
Copperwood Plat July 2014
Project Impacts
This section of the analysis documents potential project-generated impacts on the
surrounding street network and study intersections. First, estimated traffic volumes generated
by the proposed project are distributed and assigned to the adjacent street system. Next,
project trips are added to future without-project traffic volumes and any potential impacts to
traffic operations and safety are identified. Site access operations are also discussed.
Trip Generation
Trip generation for the proposed residential development is summarized in Table 6.
Estimates for existing and project-generated vehicle trips were calculated using average peak
hour trip rates for single-family detached housing published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) in Trip Generation (9th Edition, 2012). As described previously, the proposed
project would remove five existing homes and relocate a sixth house located on the project
site and construct 46 new single-family residential units.

1. Trip generation estimates based on the number of units and the average dally and peak hour trip rates from ITE Trip Generation,
9th Edition (2012).
2. DU = Dwellin~ Units
The proposed project would generate approximately 390 net new daily trips. During the
weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 31 net new trips
(8 inbound and 23 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour .. the project would generate
approximately 41 net new trips (26 inbound and 15 outbound).
Trip Distribution and Assignment
Project trip distribution was estimated based on existing travel patterns in the study area.
Figure 6 illustrates the distribution during the weekday AM and PM peak hours. As shown in
the figure, 45 percent of the trips would be oriented to/from the west, 25 percent to/from the
south, 20 percent to/from the north, and 10 percent to/from the east.
Project trips for the weekday daily and AM and PM peak hours were assigned to the study
intersections based on the travel patterns. The resulting trip assignment is shown in Figure 6.

The largest percent impact at the SE 2nd Place I Hoquiam Avenue SE intersection was
approximately 10 to 13 percent during the weekday AM and PM peak hours, respectively.
The high percent impact at this intersection compared to the other study intersections
(approximately 2 percent or less) because traffic volumes at this intersection are much less
than at the other study intersections.

Future With-Project Traffic Operations
July 2014
Future 2016 with-project study intersection operations were evaluated for the weekday
AM and PM peak hours. Intersection LOS was calculated using the methodology described
previously. The without-project conditions are compared to the with-project conditions to
understand the potential traffic impacts of the proposed project. Table 8 summarizes the
2016 without and with-project intersection operations for the weekday AM and PM peak
hours, respectively. LOS worksheets are included in Appendix C. As shown in Table 8, the
LOS with the addition of project traffic remains at LOS D or better when compared to without-
project conditions.

Site Access Analysis
July 2014
The proposed project will be accessed via two residential roadways along SE 2nd Place as
shown in the site plan (see Figure 2). Traffic operations and sight distance were evaluated at
the two proposed site access intersections.
Traffic Operations
Site access operations were evaluated for the weekday AM and PM peak hours and shown in
Table 9, below. Intersection LOS was calculated using the methodology described previously.
LOS worksheets are included in Appendix C. The table shows that the two proposed access
intersections are forecast to operate at LOS A during both peak hours.

3. Worst movement (WM) reported for side-street stop controlled Intersections. NB = northbound approach.
Sight Distance
Sight distance was evaluated at the two site access intersections. The methods and
standards used to measure the available sight distance for the sight triangles are defined in A
Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 6th Edition produced by the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Based on a 30-mph
design speed, the recommended stopping sight distance along the major roadway is 200 feet
from an intersection location. Similarly, the recommended entering sight distance for a
vehicle exiting the minor street onto a major roadway with design speed of 30 mph is 335 feet
exiting to the left and 290 feet exiting to the right.
Field measurements at the two locations show that stopping sight distance is in excess of
200 feet. The entering sight distance measured in the field was also in excess of the required
335 feet and 290 feet at the proposed Road B (the easternmost proposed roadway) for the
exiting left and right turns, respectively. The entering sight distance at proposed Road A
exceeded the required 290 feet and met the required 335 feet.
Traffic Safety Impact
Traffic generated by the proposed project would likely result in a proportionate increase in the
probability of traffic accidents. It is unlikely, however, that this traffic would create a safety
hazard or significantly increase the number of reported accidents in the study area. As
previously noted, no collisions have been reported along SE 2nd Place within the vicinity of
the proposed project site.

Mitigation Measures
July 2014
Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce potential transportation-related impacts
generated by the proposed residential project. As all study intersections are forecast to
operate at LOS D or better, the proposed project is not required to mitigate any intersection
impact. The proposed project will be required to pay traffic impact fees which are summarized
below.
Traffic Impact Fees
The project would be required to pay the City's Transportation Impact Fee. The current fee is
approximately $1 ,431 per single-family residence, which results in a preliminary estimate of
$58,671 for 41 net new single-family dwelling units. The City of Renton adopted a new
Transportation Impact Fee structure in 2011 which is being implemented through a phased
schedule over a five-year period. In January 2015, the fee will increase to approximately
$2,155 per single-family residence, and the final increase will be implemented in 2016,
resulting in a fee of approximately $2,857 per single-family residence. The required
transportation fee for this development will depend on when permits are issued and the fee
collected. Therefore, the fee for this development is estimated to be as low as $58,671 and
as high as approximately $117,137. The final impact fee will be calculated and approved by
the City.

Revised Traffic Impact Analysis
Copperwood Plat
Conclusions
This traffic impact analysis summarizes the project traffic impacts of the proposed
Copperwood Plat development. General findings and recommendations include:
July 2014
• The project consists of removing five existing houses, relocating a sixth house and
constructing 46 new single-family residential units.
• The proposed project would generate approximately 390 net new daily trips, 31 net
new trips during the weekday AM peak hour and 41 net new trips during the
weekday PM peak hour.
• Project traffic would represent 1 to 13 percent of the 2016 peak hour traffic volumes
at off-site study intersections.
• All study intersections are forecast to operate at LOS 0 or better with the addition of
project traffic.
• Both site access intersections would operate at LOS A and meet the minimum sight
distance requirements.
• An impact fee for this development is estimated to be as low as approximately
$58,671 (if all building permits were issued in 2014) and as high as approximately
$117,137 (if all building permits were issued in 2016). The final impact fee will be
calculated and approved by the City.

Highway Capacity Manual, 2000
Signalized intersection level of service (LOS) is defined in terms of the average total vehicle
delay of all movements through an intersection. Vehicle delay is a method of quantifying several
intangible factors, including driver discomfort, frustration, and lost travel time. Specifically, LOS
criteria are stated in terms of average delay per vehicle during a specified time period (for
example, the PM peak hour). Vehicle delay is a complex measure based on many variables,
including signal phasing (i.e., progression of movements through the intersection), signal cycle
length, and traffic volumes with respect to intersection capacity. Table 1 shows LOS criteria for
signalized intersections, as described in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research
Board, Special Report 209, 2000).

Approaching unstable flow (tolerable delay I occasionally wait through
more than one signal cycle before proceeding)
Unstable flow (intolerable delay)
Forced flow (jammed)

Unslgnalized intersection LOS criteria can be further reduced into two intersection types: all-
way stop-controlled and two-way stop-controlled. All-way, stop-controlled intersection LOS is
expressed in terms of the average vehicle delay of all of the movements, much like that of a
signalized intersection. Two-way, stop-controlled intersection LOS is defined in terms of the
average vehicle delay of an individual movement(s). This is because the performance of a two-
way, stop-controlled intersection is more closely reflected in terms of its individual movements,
rather than its performance overall. For this reason, LOS for a two-way, stop-controlled
intersection is defined in terms of its individual movements. With this in mind, total average
vehicle delay (i.e., average delay of all movements) for a two-way, stop-controlled intersection
should be viewed with discretion. Table 2 shows LOS criteria for unsignalized intersections (both
all-way and two-way, stop-controlled).
