Exhibit 2 Docusign Envelope ID: 6BFD5F36-E5AA-4F5D-9CAD-4567CCEC6B34 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2 2/24/2025 City of Renton Shoreline permit, local Bldg and electrical permits State Environmental Policy Act Review Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description Project Description Apron R is on the south shore of Lake Washington, north of Buildings 4-41, 4-20, 4-81, 4-82 and 4-83. The Apron R project site is adjacent to the Lake Washington shoreline and within City of Renton shoreline jurisdiction. The project area is approximately 0.39 acres within the 200-foot shoreline buffer. West of the Boeing parcel is a city park, the Cedar River, and Renton Municipal Airport. Commercial properties are to the south and east. Lake Washington is directly north of the Boeing parcel. The Boeing parcel is zoned Urban Center 2 (UC-2) and is currently used for airport manufacturing by Boeing. The proposed project will not change the existing use of the project. No off-site improvements are proposed. Approximately 1,500 feet of the shoreline along Apron R consists of a pile- supported concrete. deck, concrete bulkhead, sheet-pile bulkhead and riprap bulkhead. Vegetation is limited to Washington Department of Natural Resources restoration area and a mitigation area that was. planted with native species (see Section 4.2 of Lake study.). The site does not contain any wetlands or other special features. Soils on the site are classified as Urban Land (NRCS n.d). Stormwater drainage flows away from Lake Washington, into existing inlets which routes flows to the existing stormwater system. The proposed development will add 4 and replace 2 crew shelters and add 7 tool cabanas and relocate 2 tool cabanas to Apron R. The following is a summary of new and replacement structures: One new 12-foot by 40-foot crew shelter One replacement 12-foot by 56-foot (replacing an existing 12’x30’) crew shelter. Three new 10-foot by 30-foot crew shelters Docusign Envelope ID: 6BFD5F36-E5AA-4F5D-9CAD-4567CCEC6B34 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 3 2/24/2025 One replacement 10-foot x 30-foot (replacing an existing 8-foot x 20-foot) crew shelter. Six 8-foot by 20-foot tool cabanas One relocated 10-foot by 10-foot tool cabana. One relocated 10-foot by 20-foot tool cabana. One 8-foot by 10-foot Disaster Supply tool cabana The crew shelters will be prefabricated wood structures on elevated steel chassis. The tool cabanas will be repurposed shipping containers constructed of cold-formed steel sitting directly on the concrete pavement. The crew shelters will be secured to the existing post-installed. mechanical or epoxy anchors into the existing concrete paving. Exterior lighting is included on the crew shelters. All lighting will be directional and is oriented away from the lake. A lighting study completed for Boeing indicates that there will be no lighting will spill into the lake. The project does not include any grading or placement of fill materials. No trees or vegetation will be removed. The proposed buildings will not alter any views because they are single-story structures with relatively small footprints. The completed project will be consistent with the existing structures and industrial use of the site. The estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project is $719,801.40. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.
