If you could provide me with a written response to the these 3 outstanding questions, I think I will be able to accept and process your Shoreline Exemption application. 1) Please address how this work complies with the Trail Master Plan and EIS. The ERC Trail Master Plan and EIS did not cover rail removal and construction of an interim gravel trail, those activities are already covered under a NEPA review conducted by BNSF and the federal Surface Transportation Board at the time the corridor was being rail banked. For your reference and background there are attached two emails from Andy Marcuse from the KC PAO explaining the coverage of this activity and how track removal/interim trail work are not subject to any further municipal permitting or environmental reviews. The first email includes a draft memo written for KC Parks use to refer to with external parties that explains this position and this pre-emption of municipal permitting influence in rail removal on railbanked corridors. The second email is the basis and case law examples explaining the history of this position. The Surface Transportation Board NEPA documentation is in the third attachment. 2) Please provide additional information as to the impacts to the ground under and around the trestles and how restoration will occur to these areas upon completion of construction. Also, include information on how staging will 2 occur during construction and any impacts associated to the surrounding area in the way of critical areas and/or the shoreline. Work under the bridges will be limited to personnel and hand equipment (ladders and hand tools (both bridges) and grinding/welding (Ripley Lane only)) for repair of piles (both bridges) and repair of pile cap beams (Ripley Lane only). Work at the ends of the bridges will include removal of existing rotten timber wing walls and end walls, excavation to a depth of about 1’-2’ for replacing timber back walls and installing precast concrete block wing walls, and grading for access to the tops of the bridges. Work from the top of the bridge will include removal of existing fencing, timber walkway planks, steel railroad tracks and timber railroad ties. Debris platforms can be placed under the bridges, attached to the bridge above the ground, to catch falling debris and limit ground disturbance if required. Silt fence will be used to delineate areas where larger equipment may be used (ends of bridges) and protect downhill areas, including creeks, from surface runoff and sedimentation. Ground will be returned to existing grades. Disturbed areas can be seeded and/or planted as required. 3) Provide additional details on the transparency by removing the timbers and replacing them with concrete panels. You had indicated in our last phone conversation that there would still be light trespass associated with the concrete panels, but we would like you to demonstrate that this retrofit will exceed what is currently in place. In reference to the light penetrating question, the new bridge has a smaller footprint (14’-4” width old vs. 13’-8” width new), so on average more light would be able to penetrate below the deck from the west side day-to-day (in consideration of the seasonal changing sun angles). See the below figures as taken from the submitted drawing set.

The project documents are being forwarded to King County Procurement for construction bid advertisement in the coming week. KC Procurement has informed us that they will not open any bids unless all applicable permits have been issued. Per the attached schedule, we are striving to get this project completed prior to the Seahawks training camp in mid-July to avoid potential congestion issues as there is limited construction access at the Ripley Lane trestle location. People are already informally using the trail corridor and we must ensure that the bridge rehabilitation work takes place prior to formally opening up the trail for public use. Otak (the project consultant of record) has been coordinating with Mona Davis in getting this project permitted, potentially under an existing Temporary Use Permit issued for the rail removal project which is being completed at this time. There is also the open question of how/if structural review of the proposed deck panels fits into the permitting process as we have not received clarification. Otak has been ready to submit for the permit(s) for a number of weeks now, but has not been able to schedule an intake appointment. Please read through this e-mail chain for reference as to how the permitting issues have evolved with the City of Renton to date. In the interest of moving this project forward, KC Parks would formally request that an intake appointment be set up or direction be given in the submission of the permit application package for review and approval. Thank you.

Parks Hi Chris…here is my latest correspondence with Bob. As you can see, I’ve asked for additional information to determine if a revision to the existing TUP would be necessary, in addition to the shoreline exemption permit. I didn’t hear back from Bob after my 11/28/17 e-mail. We’ve determined that this work could possibly fall under the maintenance and repair of the existing Temporary Use Permit issued for the rail removal, granted that you can demonstrate the following: 1) Please address how this work complies with the Trail Master Plan and EIS. 2) Please provide additional information as to the impacts to the ground under and around the trestles and how restoration will occur to these areas upon completion of construction. Also, include information on how staging will occur during construction and any impacts associated to the surrounding area in the way of critical areas and/or the shoreline. 3) Provide additional details on the transparency by removing the timbers and replacing them with concrete panels. You had indicated in our last phone conversation that there would still be light trespass associated with the concrete panels, but we would like you to demonstrate that this retrofit will exceed what is currently in place. Once we receive this information, we can further analyze to determine if this does meet the criteria of a revision to the existing TUP. As for whether a building permit would be required, is the bridge being designed to AASHTO standards or the IBC? I’ve copied our permit specialist, Steve Triplett, as well as the Development Review Engineer, Rohini Nair, to weigh in on the building permit and the need for structural review. Is the County reviewing the structural calculations associated with the bridge work? From my understanding, the work entailed replacing the planks and reinforcing the piles. Bob indicated that the existing substructure will stay in place, but new decking would be installed after the tracks and ties were removed. He was also proposing new fencing to be extended out to the farthest point of the bridge as opposed to the narrow fenced walkway that’s in place now. As we discussed, the Shoreline Exemption permit will take a couple of weeks to process. Hope this helps…thanks!

Henning; Vanessa Dolbee Subject: RE: May Creek and Ripley Lane Trestles (Eastside Rail Corridor) for King Co. Parks Hi Bob…sorry for taking a bit to get back to you. We reviewed your proposed design and have some follow-up questions we’d like further clarification on: 1) Would the new walking surface be expanded to be wider than the existing rail ties? Bob D. 11-02-17: The new surface will be narrower than the wider of the existing ties. The existing surface including the railroad tracks and walkway adjacent to the tracks is about 14 ft. wide. Railroad ties supporting only the tracks are about 9 ft. wide. Roughly every 5th tie is about 16 ft. wide with the additional length to one side of the tracks to support the walkway. The new decking will be either 12’ or 14’ wide (depending on rail connection detail to be determined) and centered on the bridge. 2) Where you’re proposing to place new decking and chain link fencing on both bridges, would this be with the same materials as removed? And would this be in the same location as removed? Bob D. 11-02-17: The removed materials are timber (railroad ties and walkway planks) and steel (railroad tracks, chain link fence and cable rail). New materials will be precast concrete (decking planks) and steel (chain link fence). New decking will be place on the bridge and attached to the same timber support members (stringers). However, the new decking will be centered over the bridge whereas the existing surface is offset (see attached drawings). This additional information would be helpful in determining what permits will be necessary and if this meets the scope of maintenance and repair.

Construction Work/Equipment: Small crane and/or excavator could be positioned adjacent to the bridge as allowed to pick materials from the top of the bridge. Disturbed areas would be limited to within the ERC right of way. Work may be completed from on top of the bridge if needed (not preferred for ease/cost of construction but possible if necessary). o Place new decking and chain link fence. Construction Work/Equipment: Similar to removal work. · Ripley Lane: Generally, it appears that bents 1-12 are within the wetland (WR11 per attached), bents 7-12 parallel the north-south stream (SR6 per attached) and the east-west stream (SR7 per attached) crosses between bents 11 and 12. o Repair pile 2E Repair Work/Equipment: steel banding using hand tools, ladders, people (no motorized equipment) o Repair Cap Beam over Pile 9E Repair Work/Equipment: weld steel plates to web of steel cap beam using hand tools, welder and generator. o Removal of existing timber railroad ties, steel railroad tracks, timber walkway planks and chain link fence above the creek.
