January 16, 1992 �,`" 7-: P.17 I ON Mr. Donald K. Erickson AICP _ nn Secretary to the ERC City of Renton 200 Mill .Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Regarding: Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation ECF; SP-074-91 Dear Don: Don, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you, Zanetta, and Jennifer for meeting with me last week to discuss further the comments of the adjoining property owners, and to review the concerns outlined in my letter of December 23, 1991. I would like :.o address some of the items outlined in several of the letters from adjoining neighbors. First of all, I would like to identify the project as follows. The project is commonly known as The Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation. Several of the pieces of correspondence refer to it as a refuse dump. This is not true. Technically, the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation is a "Demolition Waste Landfill." Demolition waste means solid waste, largely inert, resulting from the demolition of razing of buildings, roads and other man-made structures. Demolition waste consists of, but is nut limited to, concrete, brick, wood, masonry, composition roofing and roofing paper, and steel. At this point, I think it might be best if I yo through a chronology of what has transpired within tha, Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation since in May of 1.987. In May of 1987, McKenna Construction Company, Inc. (McKenna Construction) entered into a contract with American Memorial Services (AMS) to reclaim the property and close the 'andfill. As a representative of McKenna, I met with representatives of the City of Renton (City) to enter into an agreement for completion of the landfill and reclamation of the site. In July of 1987, we entered into a stipulation with the City which allowed us to proceed with King County Department of Public Health (County) to acquire the necessary permits for operation of the reclamation site. In the 131 SOUTHWEST 156th, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98166 • (206) 241-2600 P O. BOX 66826, SEATTLE, WA 98166-0826 Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton. January 16, 1992 Page Two stipulated order, we were required to meet several mitigation measures. We were to install an iipermeable barrier within the landfill in order to protect the aquifer of the City. In addition, we were to install methane monitoring and ground water monitoring wells. They were to be tested per the requirements of the County. For the purposes of site jurisdiction we were to be under the rules and regulations of the County, and Chapter 173-304 of the Washington Administrative Code, entitled "Minimum Functional Standards for Solid waste Handling." In July of 1987, the County issued our permit to proceed with the reclamation of the site. At the time the permit was issued AMS and McKenna Construction began working with Harper Owes, a firm of environmental engineers, to provide the County with our proposed plans for closure of the site and post closure maintenance. In correspondence between AMS and the County, it was recommended AMS acquire the four residential houses, and incorporate them into the final closure in order to close the si!-e in a more environmentally safe manner. AMS, and McKenna continued working with Harper Ores, and the County to prepare a Plan of Operation for closure and post closure of the site. In addition, we installed 20 mil PVC liner and leachate collection system in Phase I and II of the site. We also installed three ground water monitoring wells and one ►methane monitoring well. Upon completion of the installation of the liner we began to place construction debris within the site. During our engineering phase of the project, we continued to design the closure of the site utilizing state-of-the-art design and materials. In April of 1988, AMS and McKenna filed a Plan of Operation with the County which included the following. 1. We incorporated the four residential lots located along Blaine Avenue. 2. The site was divided into six phases of construction from Phase I through Phase VI. 3. In order to control the migration of methane gas from the site laterally, tt.e design included three Cut -Off Walls and a Pretreatment Building for disposal of leachate. 4. The design included an extensive leachate collection system and. interior components for the pretreatment of leachate prior to disposal to the Metro sewer system. Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page Three 5. To protect the City's water supply, we prepared a preliminary design for the sewer extension to dispose of treated leachate from the site by bypassing the City wells located west of Stoneway Concrete. In April and May of 1988, we continued to prepare the subgrade of the site to install the liner for Phases III and IV. Upon completioi. of the subgrade, we installed the liner and leachate collection system within these two phases. In addition, we enlarged the temporary leachate storage ponds and installed additional liners in the storage ponds. In early May, the Plan of Operation was approved by the County. The approval included the addition of the four lots and all the capital improvements outlined in Items One through Five. At that time, AMS had already purchased two of the lots, and had entered into contracts to purchase the final two lots. The cost of the capital improvements for an environmentally safe closing of the site had more than tripled in cost within less than one year from our procuring the permits. The primary reason for the additional capital improvement cost were associated with protection of the City aquifer. The improvements of an extensive leachate collection system, sanitary sewer system, methane migration walls, improving the type of impervious liner and additional ground water monitoring wells were all improvements that were not incorporated in the initial design of the site. By July, 1988, the cost of capital improvements for the site had become so expensive McKenna Construction elected to transfer its interest to Fiorillo Northwest Inc. (FNW), a local general contracting firm with the financial ability to front the capital improvements prior to collecting revenue for dump fees. Throughout the balance of 1988 and the first half of 1989, FNW continued to place construction debris within the site, and also began engineering drawings for the sanitary sewer extension. By September, 1989, FNW had contracted with DiOrio Construction Company (DiOrio) for installation of the sanitary sewer extension. In order to protect the City aquifer, the City required that FNW install solvent wild sewer pipe, seal the manholes, backfill the trenches with crushed rock, insituform the down stream sewer line, and do a half -street asphalt overlay of Northeast 3rd Street. In addition, the city required that FNW tie all the sanitary sewer lines from the Monterey Terrace neighborhood into our newly construction lane. As noted previously the sewer extension was installed within Northwest 3rd Street in order to bypass the City wells near Stoneway Concrete. By incorporating the tie in of the Monterey Terrace neighborhood, the City also eliminated any sewer from Monterey Terrace contaminating the City wells. In December of 1989, DiOrio completed construction of the sanitary sewer extension Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page Four with the exception of the half -street overlay. FNW paid the City approximately $17,000 to have the City do the overlay. In September of 1989, we were notified by the City engineering department the Newcastle Landfill was scheduled for closure. We immediately begat; working with the City traffic engineers to prepare for an increase in volume. We agreed with the City to an alternative route for truck traffic exiting the site. In addition, we widened the entry of the site to accommodate for additional trucks and trailers. Throughout the balance of 1989, we continued to work on filling the site, monitoring of the ground and gas wells, and closure designs of the three Cut -Off Walls. In January of 1990, the Newcastle Landfill closed, and our volume increased by 250%. : v the end of February of 1990, we had begun designing of the f :`_ .wo Cut -Off Walls and Pretreatment Building. In May of 1990, we installed an additional 30 mil liner, and leachate collection system at Elevation 300 in Phase I of the landfill, and we began filling Phase I to a final elevation of 335 feet. In May, we also applied to the City for a building permit for Cut Off Walls I and II and the Pretreatment Building. In June of 1990, the City Council for the City of Renton issued an emergency resolution to issue the permits for the walls and building in order to protect the environment and the City aquifer. In July of 1990, construction of the Cut Off Walls I and II and the Pretreatment Building were well underway. FNW also elected to install additional ground water monitoring wells in order to isolate the perched ground water from the sole -source aquifer. In installing the new wells, we also were able to provide the City with additional data showing we have a separation of 40 feet of impermeable glacial till between the liner and the aquifer whereas the County and State regulations require a ten foot separation. FNW continued to place debris within the site until we reached capacity prior tj completing the Cut -Off Walls I, II, and III. The increased volume of haulers caught us by surprise, and we were unable to meet the site im-3rovements schedule in time to continue filling of the site. Therefore, we temporarily closed the site on August 24, 1990. Construction of Cut -Off Walls I and II, and the Pretreatment Building were completed in November of 1990. FNW crews raped off Phases I, II, and III of the site by November, and the site has been closed with the exception of pumping of leachate ever since. In May of 1990, FNW and AMS were notified by the City we were not permitted to place any fill within the area of the four lots. In addition, we were to go through environmental review for expansion. During the entire time since approval of the Plan of Operation in May of 1988, we believed we were approved to include the four lots within the landfill. FNW immediately contracted with Harding Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page Five Lawson & Associates (HLA) , the successor to Harper Owes, to prepare a revision to the Plan of Operation, and apply for the necessary parmits from the City of incorporate the four lots. In September of 1990, we applied for a building permit for Cut -Off Wall III. In October of 1990, we were notified by the City they also wanted to include the height of the landfill in their review. By November of 1990, HLA completed the revision of the Plan of Operation and it was submitted to the City and the County. In December of 1990, AMS reactivated the 1987 lawsuit against the City to require the City to review the proposed Plan of Operation as submitted in November of 1990. FNW intervened to protect its sizeable investment in the project. It was AMS' position the four lots and the elevation were a part of the stipulation. In May of 1991, Judge Noe ruled on the issue. Judge Noe's decision was prior stipulation did not intend to include the four lots, or all of the 25 foot increase in elevation. Those two changes must be submitted for SEPA review by the City before they can be include,3 in the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation. Judge Noe further stated the landfill must be closed in an environmentally sound but economically feasible manner. The proposal now before the City and the County considers both factors. It is virtually .impossible to have one without the other. In order to close the site and consider the environmental issues, one must consider the cost of the mitigation related to an environmentally sound closure of the landfill. The only way to generate enough revenue to close the site properly is to utilize the balance of the landfill for placement of debris. Any reduction in volume will not allow enough revenue to close the site properly. Since Judge Noe's decision FNW has been working with the City in order to complete SEPA review. We have provided the City with the information they have requested, and the City has reviewed the proposal and have issued a Declaration of Non Significance - Mit fated. Last week several of the City staff and I reviewed the concerns outlined in letters from neighbors, and now that I have provided a chronology of the project, I will attempt to respond to their concerns. The first item I would like to address is the finish elevation of the landfill. It was contemplated in early 1988 the landfill would have to increase in elevation in order to obtain enough revenue to close the site. In our original Plan of Operation, we addressed the issue with the County, and we further were given an approval of the 335 foot elevation.. To require the landfill to be reduced in elevation would only leave the site uncompleted, as there is no revenue to relocate the additiona?.fill, nor is there any place on 0 • Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page Six site to relocate it to. The original Plan of Operation was modified to a higher elevation, and inclusion of the four lots in order to close the site under the newest technology available at the time we prepared the Plan. The revised Plan of Operation has gone one step further, in that it incorporates a more sophisticated liner to be installed in Phases V and IV. We have incorpo,-ated again within the Pretreatment Building a stripper system with the newest design available. In addition now that Phases I, II and III have been closed, to open up those fills now may cause us to have a potential increase in our leachate production which in turn is a concern for the City aquifer. Once a phase of the landfill is closed. we eliminate approximately 90% to 95% of the leachate generated from that phase of the site. The concern for inclusion of the four lots also is an issue which refers back to the cost of capital improvements to the site, environmental soundness of the site, and overall revenue base for funds to close the site properly. Withcut inclusion of the four lots and the construction of Cut -Off Wall III, the site cannot be closed, nor will there be enough funds to continue the Post Closure Assurance for the site. There have been concerns about airborne pollution caused by the filling and compaction of the debris. In the four fears McKenna Construction and FNW have operated the landfill, they have been able to control airborne pollution by watering the haul roads, and if necessary would water the debris while the compaction equipment places the debris. I know of no other way to control airborne pollution, but I am certainly open for suggestions. Runoff has been a concern of not only the neighbors, but also the City, County, Department of Ecology, Metro, and, of course, FNW. There are two types of runoff within the landfill as follows. 1. Storm water runoff, which is the water collected within the landfill in areas of the site where we have capped off the debris, and that portion of the site is now closed. We handle this water through bio-filtration trenches, sediment control ponds, and control structures. The storm water system is designed to allow the water to leave the site at a rate that is no greater than is allowed by the design criteria of the City. We have proposed a final storm water system for the site, and the City will review and approve of the design prior to our installation. 2. Leachate is the second type of run off we have within the landfill. The leachate is water which filters through the debris, and is suspended within the fill until the volume can no longer stay suspended, and gravity forces Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page Seven it to filter through the fill and into the leachate collection system. The leachate flows through the leachate collection pipes, and into the leachate Pretreatment Stripper System located within the Pretreatment Building. The Stripper filters the leachate prior to disposal into the newly constructed sewer system, and on to Metro. For clarification, all run off which comes into contact with the debris is collected and treated as leachate. I have seen many concerns about the condition of Blaine Ave, and the use of it for completion of Cut Off Wall III. FNW only used Blaine Ave, on occasion for the purposes of constructing the Cut Off Walls. Prior to our use of the road, it was in the condition it is in now. We attempted to run the concrete trucks alorg the right of way, and not on the paved surface of Blaine Ave in order to preserve the road in its original condition. In construction of the final Cut Off Wall, we will attempt to do the same, and we have arranged with the City to walk the road with representatives from the City prior to the start of construction, and after construction to assess the damage if any. If there is any damage we will repair that portion which we damaged. There is .•ome suggestion that the City require FNW to provide the City with a monetary instrument to assure the project is completed. We in the past have completed more than required by the City, and we have not been asked by the City to provide any type of monetary assurance. The landfill can not be completed without the completion of Cut Off Wall III, as a matter of fact the walls must be completed prior to our continuing the filling of debris. We must front the capital improvements prior to our completion of the fill of the landfill. We have been closing the site for the past two years, and we have been required to make all the improvements in order to proceed to the next Phase of the landfill. Furthermore, we have no way of completing the project if the City were to require we provide for E: )me type of monetary instrument for closure. The concern with regards to the need for a constriction debris landfill in the area has very little to do with this project. This projt�ct is for the reclamation of the property. We are not trying to solve the County's problem with a need for a landfill, we are only trying to complete a reclamation project which began fifteen years ago. Because of numerous delays and permitting problems, this project has dragged on for many years. We only wish to finish the project in order to reclaim the site, protect the environment, and recoup our invested dollars. We have yet to turn a profit; in fact since the reopening of the landfill FNW has been operating in the RED, which brings me to another issue, the issue of profit. There has been some suggestion that the landfill business is a Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton January 16, 1992 Page sight highly profitable business; if that is so it surely hasn't bee the case for us. FNW and AMS have invested several million dollars in this project, and we knew from the start of the project that any profit would come only in the end. I am not so sure that is the case today; with the added mitigation, environmental concerns, permitting, construction costs, and legal expenses we have encountered, I will be more than pleased to close the site, and recoup our initial investment. The final concern I feel we must address is the Post Closure of this site. Several neighbors have a concern over how long the site will be maintained after closure. Our envineers have told us the site will stabilize within the first ten years after closure. We wilt: intinue to maintain the site for a period of twenty years from losure. We have put in place a Post Closure Trust Fund which will provide the necessary funds for overall ground monitoring, and gas wells. The fund will also allot monies for overall landscape maintenance, trench clean up, hydroseeding, maintenance of the stripper system, and utilities for the project. Upon closure of the site the fund will have approximately $415,000.00 dollars in it. Don, the only other thing I might suggest at this time would be to make myself available to meet with the concerned neighbors to answer any questicns they may have. If you think this would b� helpful, I would appreciate it if you would please contact me at your earliest convenience to set up a time to discuss this subject further. Thanking you in advance, should you require any additional information please do not hesitate to give me a call at 241-2600. I remain; Sin 1y, �Z�/ hn W. McKenna, Jr ize President cc: ME.

City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue S. Renton, WA 98055 Dear Mr. Erickson: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance for the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation project proposed by Fiorillo Northwest Inc. (EFC; SP-074-91). We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comments. Item A-10 of the checklist fails to note the continuing need for an annual solid waste disposal. permit issued by the Seattle -King County Department of Public Health. The comments numbered below correspond to those on the mitigation plan: 1. Some facilities overfill a certain amount in anticipation of refuse settlement. This is more significant with municipal solid waste than inert and demolition waste. It should be clarified whether or not settlement is being taken into account in the final elevation. 2.. Final vegetative cover for the cap area (not the buffets) should consist of shallow rooted species. The purpose is to minimize intrusion of roots into the refuse mass and thereby reduce the number of potential conduits for rainwater infiltration. Also, any plantings should avoid the potential for root penetration of the bottoin liner. 3. Closure/post-closure financial assurance is not required under state regulations for inert and demolition waste landfills, but may be required under Seattle -King County Department of Public Health ordinance. Please contact Wallace Swofford at the Health Department (296-4785). If a closure/post-closure financial assurance plan has been established, these concerns could easily be (may already be) incorporated. 5. It is not understood how impermeable linings in surface water conveyances will protect the City's watershed since the stormwater will eventually discharge to an unlined area. The best approach is to assure that clean surface water is separated from any leachate generated. We consider runoff from any area which has not yet undergone final closure to be contaminated. Mr. Don Erickson Januar-/ 7, 1992 Page 2 11. We do not recommend the approach suggested under Item B. This type of testing is usually reserved for remediation of contaminated sites. The goal of the mitigation appears to be to prevent contamination from occurring. It will likely be very difficult if not impossible to obtain soil borings throughout a fill area- because of the presence of concrete chunks and other such materials. The best approach is to be certain that any fill arriving on site is suitable for disposal. 14. As stated, Item 14 would require watering even on rainy days. It is desirable to limit the amount of moisture introduced to the fill area (and thereby limit the production of leachate). It would be better to require the operator to meet a performance standard and allow the use of alternative duFt control technologies as appropriate. We recommend that you consult with Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Authority which may require the use of Best Available Control Technology. We do not encourage the use of calcium chloride for dust control at landfills because it is highly soluble with the result that chlorides may migrate to groundwater.

I 'Yernice Santee Environmental Review Section MVS: 91-7554 cc: Kyle Dorsey, NWRO Janet Thompson -Lee, NWRO Environmental Review Committee We, the undersigned, all being concerned residents of the Monterey Terrace neighborhood, respectfully submit the following comments and concerns to the Enviro.imen- tal Review Committee regarding the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation, ECF; SP-074-91 1. We feel that the height of the existing landfill is excessive. We -."-wid like to see the existing landfill lowered to an elevation no higher than the hignest previously existing point of land in the adjacent Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Any expansi )n of the dump would also not exceed the surrounding area. 2. We are concerned about the airborne pollution caused by having an operating landfill nearby. This issue was addressed in condition 14, but we are still concei ned with the health impacts. 3. A Ve are concerned about the runoff from the use of the landfill, the construction of the retaining walls, and the staging of any construction across Blaine Avenue and into the Monterey Terrace Subdivision, 4. We are concerned about the current and future condition of Blaine Avenue adjacent to the proposed site. The quality of the street has been allowed to significantly deteriorate during the construction of the existing retaining wall. This issue was addressed in condition 16, but we feel that the $10,000 "guarantee" asked for is insufficient. 5. We suggest the need for a more secure monetary instrument to assure that the project is completely finished to the letter of the revised mitigating measures. We understand that the need for zi construction debris landfill exists in this area. We also unders.and the highly profitable nature of the landfill business. We do not feel that these two factors should outweigh the adverse health and aesthetic impacts that come with a refuse dump. We feel that great care and attention should be given to the operation of a refuse dump when it exists in a dense:y populated area over the sole source of drinking water for an entire city.

Principal PlannerN 1902 Department of Planning/Building/Public Works Renton Municipal Building SUti ul.'i1J Dfvi;ioN 2G0 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 RE: Determination of Non -Significance -Mitigated ECF;SP-074-91, December 13, 1991 Dear Mr. Erickson, With respect to your letter of Dec. 1?, 1991 and the attached Declaration of Non -Significance with Mitigation measures attached, American Memorial Inc., has the following comments. American agrees with the City determination following the City's lengthy SEPA review that the inclusion of the four adjoining residential lots (to the south and we!t of the existing landfill) and the establishment of the elevatior at a height of 335' have no signifi..►:ant environmental impact. American applauds the diligent efforts )f the city in reviewing the inclusion of the four lots, and establishing the 35' elevation while conducting this lengthy review under the direction of Judge Noe's memorandum opinion. The City's efforts should result in the swift and environmentally sound completion of this reclamation project. With respect to the City request for comments on the mitigating measures that have been proposed, it is Americans understanding that the City and Mr. McKenna/FNW are continuing to discuss the actual scope of and implementation of those proposed measures. In reviewing the proposed mitigating measures American would like to specifically comment on Item rill and 14 Note 4d:. Proposal Ill is identical in content to a proposal by the City made prior to the Court approved settlement stipulation. This proposal was not and is not a requirement of either the County or the DOE requirements for a "Demolition Landfill". This proposal was agreed not to be required after Mr. McKenna and his companies, and American Memorial agreed with the City to install and impermeable liner at the site, and other environmental protection measures, Mr. Donald R. Erickson January 6, 1992 Page 2 including a leachat.e collection system, pretreatment facility, barrier/cut-off walls and ultimately a new sanitary sewer system. This current proposed mitigation measure is inconsistent with the settlement stipulation, and the City should not now try to impose this condition on the same operator who agreed to and who has expended hundreds of thousands of dollars installing Mitigation Measures which were agreed to with the City at that time when this original condition was proposed, and then waived by agreement with the City, prior to the signing of the agreed Order in 1987. Proposal 14, at Note 4a;, correctly indicates that Mr. Mckenna intends "that the south wall is to be consider part of their overall closure of the site." The inclusion of this statement as a mitigating measure is consistent with Mr. Mckennas statements to American, and if it is the City's intent to make it's inclusion a mitigating measure along with protecting the "drip line", and controlling the surface water runoff and discharge in this area, then this should be made part of measure 1 4, and not handled as a note. American Memorial has not been a party to the meetings and agreements reached between Mr. Mckenna and the City during this review process and does not want the City to make statements regarding what may or may not be Americans intention with respect to part or all of this wall being any part of what might be a mausoleum. The City has accepted no such application from American Memorial, and the City inclusion of any such reference in the applicants present application is inappropriate. American requests that the City delete all references to this subject, specifically the last two sentences frog para. 4. (Mote 4a:...... ) The City review of Mr. Mckennas proposed "south wall" just north cf the Cemetery is part of his application as he correctly states, and American assumes the City review of this part of his application has resulted in those mitigation measures addressing storm water control, erosion control, the "drip line" ect. The comment referencing the landowner in the last sentence should be deleted as neither American Memorial nor the Mt. Olivet Cemetery mausoleum are part of Mr. Mckennas application. The completion of the land reclamation project by FNW/Mckenna is not conditioned upon the City requiring American Memorial to construct any such Mausoleum and I do not believe that is the City's intent. Eliminating these references will also remove any confusion surrounding the City's proposed mitigation measures. Mr. Donald K Erickson January c, 1992 Page 3 American would like to thank City staff for the time they have devoted to this Environmental Review, and for all of the assistance which we understand the City provided to the applicant during this process. Hopefully this spirit of cooperation will result in the swift and environmentally sound completion of this project.

However, we have the following comments regarding water quality. We concur with the proposed mitigation measures to protect water quality. In addition, minimize water quality impacts during construction, we recommend the following mitigation measures be required of the developer: Avoid disturbing surrounding areas more than necessary. If possible, avoid exposing soils during periods that have the highest. potential for erosive rainfall. - Cover, secure and/or berm all stockpiled material. - Provide geotextile siltation fencing along onsite surface waters. - Develop and implement a :regular maintenance schedule for structural controls, eg., filter fabric fences and stockpiled covers. - Handle petroleum products and other construction materials with care to prevent their entry to ground and surface waters.

MT. DUVET LAND RECLAMATION ECF;SP-074-91 Expansion of the Mt. Olivet Land Rexdama'ion onto the four adjoining residential lots (to the south and west of the existing landfill) .and throughout the remainder of the project site. The project would construct a third cut-off wall that would vary in height, but which would be up to 12 fPet in height. Landscaping would bF installed at the base of the wall in planting strip that is five feet wide (this area is possibly on City -arced land) Native or-amental trees, shrubs and groundcover are proposed for landscaping in this area. The proved would add about 83,000 cubic yards U construction debris fill to the site. Closure Of all sox phases of the project would occur under this Grade and Fil permit application. Construction and closure would take approximately six to twelve months to complete after initiation of project activity. The project is located at 2235 N Third Street. By request of the applicant and due to the holiday schedule, the comment period is being extended until January 7, 1992. Written comments received after 5.00 p.m., January 7, 1992, will not be considered. A fourteen (14) day appeal period will commence following the finalization of DNS -?A.

Renton, WA 9805E 24 December 1991 Donald :t Erickson Planning/Building/ Public Works Department City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98056 Dear Mr Erickson: We are writing in connection with Mt Olivet Land Reclamation, ECF; SP-074-91. We have strong objections to the time limits set fo= th in paragraph 18 for the on -site fill operation of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Our yard is directly west of an, along Blaine Avenue N.E . Our backyard and patio would be all but un- usable with the noise and dust of bulldozer operations less than fifty yards away. 9 : 00 AAA to 6:00 PM five days a week would, of course, cause some problems especially in the sum- mer when windows are open, but we could probably live with it on a temporary basis. We :.lso have questions about other facets of the Mitigation Measures document: i . Who is to be responsible for enforcement of the time limitations for construction and on -site f'.11 operation? Several years ago when there was construct.: -on in our area -the city did not take any action when notified of an earlier than seven AM construction si.art nor did it take:: any steps to re- quire fencing ;ground a filled swir.ming pool. 2. In reference to paragraph 9, for --ow many years will groundwater monitoring be required and what would be the re- sult of failure to comply with standard? 3. There does not appear any mentio'i of limiting the planting of trees whose roots not only could cause damage to the street but also to adjacent residential lots - e.g. the black walnut tree presently located near the street on the southernmost lot. 4. There is no mention of a requir merit that curbs be installed on the west side of Blaine Avenue to prevent runoff from flooding the properties immediately adjacent to the street, 10 . 0 - 2 - 4* Before a berm was developed alongside Blaine Avenue, we were subject to periodic flooding. 5. What provisions will be made to halt wall construc- tion and on -site fill activity when funerals are conducted at the cemetary? 6. If Blaine Avenue is vacated will the ci*.y still be responsible for police and fire protection? We sincerely hope that action will be taken to remedy the problems set forth in this letter.

Olivet Land Reclamation ECF; SP-074--91 Dear Mr. Erickson: PLANNIN3 tDiVIIMN CITY 0; kFF�7��1 DEC - ? !9"1 H E G t �V E-_D I am in receipt of your letter dated December 13, 1991 and attached Determination of Non -Significance -Mitigated. Upon review of the aforementioned I contacted Ms. Jennifer Toth Henning and requested a meeting with City representatives to review the specific mitigation elements recommended for this project. It is my understanding from Ms. Henning, the earliest we can meet will be on December 30, 1991 at 2:30 P.M. at the City of Renton. In order to give City representatives an opportunity to review our concerns regarding the mitigation measures, I have decided to respond in writing, and to provide the City representatives our response prior to our mPetinc in order to give them ample time to become familiar with our concerns. 1. In our application we requested a exceed 335 feet above sea level. our design inclusion of a two toot hydroseeding with a shallow rooted the area. In addition, we were excavated material from the four to material within Phases I, II, and final cover and cap in Phases IV, V of the landfill the final elevation final elevation of not to We h?,e incorporated into cap material and proposed vegetation indigenous to anticipating taking the I's and stocking piling the III, to be utilized for and VI. Upon completion will not exceed 335 feet. 131 SOUTHWEST 156th, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98166 • (206) 241-2600 P.O. BOX 66826, SEATTLE, WA. 98166-0826 Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Two 2. A) Our present application shows the Cut -Off Wall 3 to be located five feet inside the western property line of the four lots. Our wall design was to take into account a oinimum height that would be required in order to accommodate: only enough debris to generate enough money to close the landfill. The mitigation measures requested by the ERC Committee has reduced the amount of volume of debris which in turn affects the overall economics for closing the landfill. In crder to close the landfill in an environmentally and economically feasible manner we need to address the reduction in volume. Based on the proposed cost of operations, and capita! improvements to the landfill required for closure, the relocation of the wall an additional twenty feet to the East of its proposed location has dramatically affected the overall loss of revenue needed to close the site. Our consultants in considering the final design of the Cut -Off Walls incorporated cost of operations, capital improvements, liners, leachate collection systems, final cover and cap, a sanitary sewer system for disposal of the leachate, gas, and ground water monitoring wells. In order to complEte the landfill and consider all of the components the design was offset with revenue considerations. We designed the walls only high enough to generate the needed volume to provide the income necessary to close the site in an environmentally and safe manor with our primary concerns for protecting the City of Renton Aquifer, and incorporating Cut Off Walls that where to be constructed with an architectural feature which would provide for better curb appeal aesthetics. Our design provides for a landscape buffer of five to ten feet wide. If the City were to allow for an additional fifteen feet of landscaping within the right of way along Blaine Avenue, I believe we would be able to incorporate the cost of the landscaping into our budget. B) Under the permits issued for Cut. -Off Walls 1 and 2 the City issued a landscape permit for a landscape buffer of five to ten feet in width to be located along the base of the walls. We have completed the construction of the walls, but the landscaping was put of hold because of STOP WORK ORDFR issued by the City in the summer of 1990. The only work to continue on the landfill has been to maintain pumping of the leachate, slope stabilization, and completion of the leachate collection system including the pretreatment equipment. Again we are faced with the reduction of additional volumes if we were to provide for a twenty-five foot landscape buffer along the top of Cut --Off Walls I and 2. Kr. Donald Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Three I believe if the City were to provide additional right of way along Blaine Avenue we would be able to incorporate the additional landscaping into our budget as we were going to landscape from the base of the wall to the edge of the paving along Blaine Avenue. In order to provide for a replacement of the trailing vine plants, we would provide some type of plant that would grow from the bottom of the wall to the top. When we received the Emergency Resolution from the City of Renton City Council, the requirement for a landscape buffer along the north side of the landfill was waived. In addition the State DepartLient of Ecology (toes noc recommend the planting of any deep rooted plants within a landfill. They recommend the planting of vegetation indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. 3. A) I do not see this as a problem, so lon3 as we can provide a landscape bond or a cash bond for a contract amount to be established by the landscaping contractor at the time we pick up the landscaping permit from theCity. Bj [n talking over the requirement for a maintenance security device with our bonding company, I find they will only post a b.nd for one year. reirthermore, they said the standard time trame for a security device of this type does not exceed one year. In addition the post closure trust fund has funds set aside to maintain the entire site including but not limited to landscaping, hydroseeding, well monitoring, slope stabilization, and disposal of leachate. 4. our proposed design has incorporated a 3:1 slope in all new areas of the landfill, with the exception of the portion adjoining the cemetery to the south. We have designed to a 2 .5:.L slope, -) 1t tine Nc -01 i vt- CemuterY c ompleLes the installation of the mausoleum, we mill grade to the top of the wall with a slope of no q►-eater than 3:1. The existing slopes located within the completed portion of Phase I has slopes in eAcess of 3:1, but our engineers have instructed us to not try and regrade the slope as it has been in existence since the late 1970's. 5. I can see no reason why the storm drainage swales shoul require liners, as the waters coming off the surface of closeu portions of the landfill have not had any contact with the in#-' demolition debris. Mr. Dona lC Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Four In addition, in order to maintain the drainage swales during the post closure period we will continue to install check dams and spalls in order to minimize erosion due to seasonal rainfall. The check dams and annual cleaning of the drainage swales will be performed with the use of an excavator or rubber tired backhoe. Because of the aforementioned reasons, our engineers have recommended grass lined swales, and no requirement for placing any liners. 6. As discussed on site in our visit xn the fall of this year we have no problem with remaining out of the drip and root zone area of the group of coniferous trees on the north perimeter of the Mt Ol'.vet Cemetery. 7. David Evans and Associates Inc. in October of 1991 submitted a Conceptual Storm Drainage Report to the ERC Committee for review. Prior to proceeding I would like to know if the conceptual design meets the requirements of the City. If so please let gee know, at your earliest convenience, who we might contact_ at the City to coordinate with, in order to proceed with the final drawings. 8. The firms who we have been using for consultants on this prcje,,�t are as follows.

Also, please consider Harding Lawson Associates as a firm who can perform the quarterly testing of the wells. Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Five 9. We have in the past been required to perform quarterly testing of the monitoring wells under the following criteria. Well monitoring shall include, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, COD, chloride, conductivity, iron, manganese. zinc sulfate, TOC, cadmium, copper, lead, and nickel. We were required annually to test for VOC's (EPA method 8240). In discussing this with Mr. Ronald Owes, with Harding Lawson Associates, he recommends we stay with the existing criteria. If, for any reason we find elevated levels in our wells then we can test auarterly to include the VOC's. He also stated we presently have two down gradient wells we are testing on a quarterly basis. There are two additional wells installed that were used in order to identify the level of the ground water. Those two wells should not be tested unless we find elevated levels of the aforementioned in the two existing wells. For the purposes of starting the testing, please be aware the testing shall occur- on or about the last week of the quarter. The test results generally take between sixty to ninety days. When we receive copies we will then forward copies to.L-he appropriate agencies. 10. We are presently monitoring the leachate under parameters as established by METRO, therefore, I would like to remain Linder their parameters for testing, and repor`.:ing. If the City would like to be included in the mailing of all sampling results we can do so immediately. The sampling requirements are to include the testing for the following, silver, arsenic cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and PH. 1.1. In discussing the requirement to perform soil sampling to test for Model Toxics, oL- consultants have suggested this requirement is not required under the regulations for the Minimal r'uncriona:_ Staridu.c:s .in :jper�stinu a J.-nert de"nolitfol. landfill. Furthermore, if we have to perform these tests we may as forget about ever clos ny the landfill, as there will not be enough revenue to bear the expense of the testing, not to mention the rate at which yo,i would be able to accept debris. We would not be able to accept debris under the terms at which we did prior to closing in August of 1990. Each and every site would have to be tested prior to our accepting the loads of debris from the hauler. To perfor,n testing on a quarterly basis within the landfill would also be cost prohibitive. 12. The consultants I ,lave under contract are recommending I review this requirement with the City prior to proceeding any further. When we meet or December. 30, 1991 I would like to have a representative from Harding Lawson Associates present to discuss this issue in further detail. If this acceptable to you, please give me a call. at 241-2600. Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Six 13. We presently have letters from the City and Metro for disposal of l.eachate and we have just completed final installation of the pretreatment equipment and final tie in to the sanitary sewer. 14. It is recommended by the Department of Ecology watering of haul roads should occur oily as required to maintain the haul roads. To water any more Lhan as necessary will only result in the excess ocneration o- leachate. 15. The City presently has a bond in place in order to maintain the street cleaning, if, for some reason we didn't. perform the cleaning ourselves. I cannot see any reason to double up on this. 1 would appreciate it if we could maintain the present bond in affect. 16. We, in May of 1989, paid approximately $17,000.00 fcr a one half street overlay of N.E. Third Street. I think to ask us to provide the City with additional monies or bonds for future road work or repairs is jut of the question. I think we have more than provided the City with ample road repair monies. 17. We presently have asphalt pav .d surface to the face of the fills, if additional access should be required 1 have not provided for it .in )nN proposers improvement cost. Prior to closing in Argiist of 1990, we provided the same access. Please let ne kn►aw i� you are asking for additional access. 18. our existing permit allows for the hours of operation to be consistent with the court order issued in July, 1987. For, Phases I through V, we should bc- allowed to operate tinder the court order With reg ircas to Phase V1' the hours of operation appear to be workable. 19. I have no problem with this as it was in effect prior to closing in August of i990. ADDITIONAL NOTES TO APPLICANT NOTE 1: We can do the survey at the time we layout for Cut - Off Wall 3. The street vacation is something I don't understand unless the City is talking about for 'Landscape purposes. NOTE 2: Ratner than have a general note such as this, is there any :ray we can identify the applicable laws and reaulations you are talking about. Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton December 23, 1991 Page Seven NOTE 3: I believe this has been accomplished in the revised Plan of Operation as prepared by Harding Lawson Associates on November 2, 1990. In addition several of our employees have completed a forty hour course in operations of a landfill and have been certified by the Department of Ecology as Managers of Landfills.

McKenna, Jr. Fiorillo Northwest, Inc. PO Box 66626 Seattle, WA 98166-0326 SUBJECT: Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation ECF;SP-074-91 Dear Mr. McKenna: This letter Is written on behalf of the Environmental Review Committee and is to inform you that they have completed their review of the environmental impacts of the above -referenced project. The Committee, on December 11, 1991, decioed that your project may be issued a threshold Determination of Non - Significance -Mitigated with the following conditions: See enclosed Mitigation Measures document. Because the Environmental Review Committee imposed specific mitigation measures rather than issue a Determination of SigrAcance, there Is a required 15 day comment period during which comments are solicited from various agencies, jurisdictions or individuals (including the applicant) who may have an interest In the Committee's decision. The comment period will end December 31, 1991. Following the end of the comment period, the City will finalize its Determination unless comments received require a reevaluation. Following the finalization of the Determination, there is a . aquired 14 day appeal period. WAC 197-11-660 states that the responsibility for implementation measures may be imposed upon an applicant only to the extent attributable to the identified adverse impacts of the imposed action. Since an environmental impact statement has not been prepared for this project, any mitiga' n measure established by the ERC not &Actly attributable to an identified ad- arse impact is deemed to be voluntarily accepted by the applicant. Staff urges you to contact the various City representatives, as appropriate, (e.g., the Public Works Division) as soon as possGe, to obtain more information concerning speck mftigatio.i elements recommended for this project, if you have specific questions. This information will assist you In planning for implementation of your project and will enable you to exercise your appeal rights more fully, if you choose to do 3o. In addition, by the end of the comment period, we should be able to establish a tentative public hearing date before the Hearing Examiner, should a public hearing be necessary. «cd*cv, / DICE /wc John W.

ISSUES LAND USE Whrther 'he proposed action Is consistent with the Land Use Zoning Map designation and the Comprehensive Plan (map, goals, policies and objectives) C eslgnstion for the subject property? 1 he Renton Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the project site as Public/Quasi Public which allows: publicly owned and certain priva a uses; utilftles; hospitals; churches; clubs; schools; Instftutlons and airports. The Mt. Olivet landfill In not consistent with this designation due to its potential for heavy truck traffic, noise, odor and t'te proximity of the project to the adjacent single family residential neighborhood (Monterey Terrace). This activity would be more suitable under the Heavy Industry land use designation because it allows industrial activities that are not compatible with residential, commercial or light Industrial uses because of heavy truck traffic, noise, odors, all, pollution, safety considerations or size. The ultimate Intended use for the project she, as a cemetery, would more be more likely to fall within the Public; Quasl-Public (and use designation. 2. Whether the proposed action Is consistent with Zoning Ordinance regulations as applicable to this site? --he project site Is designated as General (G-1) on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The G-1 ..one has been established to provide and protect suitable environments for low density ,Ingle -family residential dwellings. The intent of the G-1 zone Is to prohibit the development of IncompatiLle uses that are detrimental to the residential environment. The landfill is not an expressly permitted or prohibited land use under the G-1 zone. However, the Mining, Excavation and Grading section of the City's Zoning Code allows this use in any zone subject to a special permit as approved by the City's Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner is required to make a determination that the activity would not be unreasonably detrimental to the surrounding area. Since the proposed action would be a continuation of prior permitted activity, this point may be moot. Environmental Review rlttee Staff Report Mt.

Under the proposed action, this area would Increase and expand laterally, covering about acres Site slopes are at a steepness of approximately 2 1 (horizontal:verticaaT at the present time and dearly have the appearance of englneered fill When viewed from off -site locations, the landfill site Is angular with hard edges as opposed to the surrounding edges of the pkileau. The finished landfill would differ in appearance form adjacent and surrounding land uses due to the steepness of proposed slopes (11) and the vegetative cov'r proposed (hydroseeded grasses) Surrounding hillsides are vw; Stated with nath-o trees and inderstory The landfill site is located on top of a plateau that sits above a slope rising from the valley floor. Generally, existing lard elevations average 200 to 300 feet and have dense deciduous and evergreen tree cover °onions of the existing and proposed landfill are and world achieve heights of 335 feet The site Is and would be highly visible from off -site locations included public parks and major arterials within the downtown, and other areas of Renton The project site is also located within a .,one of obstruction for the Renton Municipal Airport, In which heights are restricted. The proposed landfill would exceed allowable heights and would be subject to review by the Federal Avtatlon Admirdstration The project would also result In the removal cif four existing single family residential dwellings which presently abut the axisting landfill site on the west These homes would either be pushed Into the landfill or relocated. Poterxial sites for relocation have not yet been Identified nor has any application been made for relocation. A cut-off wall for leachate and methane gas migration Is proposed as part of the project. This wall would also act as a retaining wall for addilk"I fill and extend the fill area to the current site of the four horn6s The wall would appear to be an extension of recently completed Cut -Off Walls 1 and 2.

Principal Planner Planning/Building/Publics Works Department City Ot Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Wa. 98055 Regarding: Your letter of 11/7/1991, Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation CU;ECF;SP-074-91 Dear Mr. Erickson, rmcrican Memorials stated purpose in filling it's property adjacent to Mt. Olivet Cemetery is and has been to restore the mined out gravel pit to a usable site suitable for the continuation of the Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Since the original application was filled in 1987 this has been the stated purpose of all of the fill permits that have been issued for this site. It is my understanding from the applicant and the limited information that I have seen fron the City that the present application before the City is NOT to replace the existing fill and reclamation permit which issued out of the Stipulated Settlement, and which the City states is represented by the 1986 Giaudrone engineering plans, but is only an application to modify those plans in two very limited areas, 1) to obtain City approval of the applicants request to alter th© final finished elevation on the approved site, above that elevation approved in the 1986 plans, and 2) to include in the approved reclamation site those four housing lots directly abutting the project on the West, so that environmental protection measures and devices may be constructed. Neither of the above proposed measures alters American Memorial or Mt. Olivets ultimate planned use of the site. With the above understanding I will try and respond to your letter in the order in which questions have been raised. It 1) The applicant is correct, the planned final use of as Cemetery property. R E C E I Y E D NOV 1 2 1991 BUILDING DNISION Page 2 2) The applicants letter in that it assumes that American or Mt. Olivet will apply for any additional fill and grade permits is incorrect. The existing fill and grade permit based on the 1986 Engineering plans and application which the City states are the only plans governing the site clearly call for the composition of the final 7.5 (seven and one half) feet of material placed on the site bringing it to final grade to consist of earth materials. I have attached for your reference a letter dated Sept. 22, 1983 from Giaudrone and Assoc. which was provided to the City in Oct. 1483, again in 1985, and again with the 1986 Giaudrone plans as part of the existing permit. These calculations and this letter were part if the Environmental Review conducted by the City prior to the 1987 Settlement. In numbered para. 2 of the letter it states that there will be a 1 (one) foot cover placed over the debris, together with a 2 (two) foot layer over the top of the site, and an additional. 4 ( four' foot surcharge of material over the entire site. The final 6 (six) inches of material on the site was specified to be a graded topsoil to promote vegetation. This letter and calculations were again submitted to the City in response to the ERC review comments dated Nov. 4, 1986. In response to your specific questions the requirement for seven or more feet of natural earth cover was and is required for the proper revegitation of the site, and to support Trees, shrubs and ornamentals native to the Northwest. The use of the site as a cemetery also requires a minimum of five (5) feet of natural earth material for ground burial use. These requirements and the applicable calculations are part of the existing Stipulated Permit plans and specifications. In the fall of 1987 and spring of 1988 in order to meet the mitigation measures agreed to in the Settlement, it was determined by Engineers for American and McKenna, that an additional clay layer of not less than two (2) feet would be added immediately above the one (1) foot of debris cover referenced above to prevent any surface water from entering the debris fill and adding to ieachate generation. There was also an added one (1) foot of free - draining material added above the clay layer to prevent pooling of any subsurface moisture. These new environmental mitigation layers were incorporated in those plans which were incorporated in the 1988 Plan of Operation approved oy R;ng County. I have attached the Giaudrone letter dated April 7, 1988 which references the " Ten Foot Cap " which included all of the layers mention previously, (seven original plus three). American understands that the City has only approved the seven foot cap represented in the 1986 Engineering Plans and Specifications, Page 3 and that the City may not have approved or reviewed the additional three feet of subsurface protective measures incorporated in the 1988 plans. With respect to the current application to raise the "FINAL" elevation at the site, American Memorial is of the opinion that the City and the applicant can arrive at a soundly engineered and correctly sloped final grade, at an elevation that may exceed the final elevation specified in the 1986 plans, as long as this final elevation consist of not less than seven and one half feet (7.5) of natural earth material lying directly below said "FINAL" elevation. American is under the impression that the present modification requested by the operator is only to increase the elevation of the final grade, NOT to alter the composition of the materials which make up the last seven to eight feet of this final grade. So that I an perfectly clear on this subject, whatever height is approved by the City, the approval must include the requirement that the top 7.5 feet of fill must meet the specifications described above or the pproval must explicitly permit the addition of the 7.5 feet of e,,r-th material described above be added to whatever height is approved with -out the necessity for any further permits, otherwise the City's approval would be inconsistant with the City's prior and existing permit approvals for the reclamation site and would prejudice American Memorial because the project could not be completed and closed in a manner consistent with Americans long recognized and approved final land use as Cemetery property. American intends that upon completion of the fill and grade "reclamation" project on it's property that the top seven to ten feet of material meet the specifications outlined above, and intends that NO FURTHER fill and grade permits be necessary to support the revegitation of the property as described, or to support the intended end use of the site. With respect to when the Cemetery would need to utilize the site as cemetery in the future, there is no date specific. Until the current fill and reclamation process is completed and the site restored to greenbelt space with the proper vegetation well established and those environmental systems, stormwater systems and other systems required by the permits are fully functional it is premature to speculate when the site would be ready for other use. In response to your final question regarding structures, There are t no plans to build buildings ever the debris fill. I have attached Page 4 a site map which depicts the location of roads which have been contemplated for access onto the site, but these would be gravel roads only for quite some time following completion of the reclamation project. The mausoleum would NOT be constructed over the construction debris. The portion of the mausoleum running north and south lies in currently dedicated cemetery property, which has not had any placement of any fill in this area. The portion of the mausoleum running east to west has a 16' footprint of which 8 feet lies over non disturbed earth and with aprox. S feet lying above a solid earth and concrete fill containing no construction debris. This earth and concrete fill has been in place for over 10 years and in, approximately 25 feet in thickness on the horizontal surface. I have attached a set of the Mausoleum plans for your reference. American presently has no plans for construction of other facilities over the construction fill site. We understand that the applicants current application also includes the construction of the "Barrier" cut-off wall along the western boundary of the site subject to the City's inclusion of the additional four lots in the reclamation project. Hopefully the above information answers the city's questions regarding the final use of the site. If there are any further questions we can answer please feel free to contact me.

Olivet land Reclamation CU;ECF;SP-074-91 Dear Mr. Colt: As you are aware, the City of Renton is currency :;cnclucting Environmental Review under the State Environmental Policy Act for the proposed Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation project on a site owned by American Memorial Services. The applicant (Fiorillo Northwest) has indicated to the City in its letter of October 25, 1991 (attached), that the final intended use for the subject property would be a cemetery that is an expansion of the existing Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The letter also states that you will apply for the necessary permits following completion of the grade and fill operation. Fiorillo Northwest proposes to complete fill and grade operations and 6:)se the site at a height of 335 feet. The fill would consist of inert demolition debris covered by a two foot cap. The site would be hydroseeded and maintained for a period of 20 or 30 years under Fiorillo's proposal. In order to evaluate environmental effects of the current proposal with regard to height and appearance of the Iandf4l, we are requesting information from you as to the ultimate use and height of the site. Specifically, what amount of additional material would be required, over and above the proposed finished height, in order to accommodate a cemetery? Also, would this amount of material support landscaping, and if so, what type of landscaping Is envisioned? When would you anticipate the expansion of the cemetery to occur (approximate year)? And finally, what other structures would be constructed on the landfill site for the intended use as a cemetery (e.g., mausoleum, buildings, walls)? We appreciate your cooperation in providing this informatlon. If you have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to call me at 277-5582 or my staff contact, Jennifer Toth Henning, at 277-6186.

Olivet Land Reclamation Renton File No. FCF; SP-074-91 Dear Mr. Erickson: Pursuant to receipt of your letter dated September 26, 1991, representatives from Fiorillo Northwest Inc. met with our consultants and engineers to review the concerns outlines; in your letter. At the adjournment of our meeting, specific tasks were assigned to our consultants and engineers in order to accommodate your request. It was agreed in our meeting that the proposed tasks could be accomplished by October 24, 1991. On October 25, 1991, I received all the input as requested and I will address the concerns as outlined in your letter dated September 26, 1991 and incorporate the information as provided. In order to simplify review on the part of the City, all of the enclosures with regards to this response will be labeled in conjunction with the outline of your letter. F.N.W. contracted with R.W. Thorpe and Associates, planners and environmental analysts to prepare illustrated cross section drawings of the landfill and their relationship to the surrounding properties located within 300 feet of the reclamation site. For reference, please see drawings as prepared by R.W. Thorpe and Associates, Inc. dated 10/91, Sheets 1 through 6. The drawings will be labeled be follows: "SP-•074-91 1-A, Cross Section Drawings". It is my understanding that Kristi Evans met with Ms. Jennifer Henning and yourself on October 21, 1991 to review the drawings. All of the comments have been addressed pursuant to your meeting and have been incorporated. 131 SOUTHWEST 156th, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98166 • (206) 241-2600 P.O. BOX 66826, SEATTLE, WA 98166-0826 Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton October 25, 1991 Page Two One comment that Ms. Evans felt needed to be clarified is as follows. The Section B1-2 on Page 2, specifically defines a 2.5:1 slope at the south fill in Phase I and II of the reclamati.an pro;ect. In an on site meeting we had on September 17, 1991, I indicated to Ms. Jennifer Toth Henning if, for some reason, Mz . Colt did not procure the necessary permits for the mausolet:.3 F.N.W. would close the site by incorporating a 2.5:1 slope adjoining the north property line of the cemetery in Phases I and II of the land reclamation. In addition, I agreed that the fill and cap material for final cover would not infringe upon the drip line of the existing evergreen trees located on the north property line of the cemetery. As further stated in your letter, in Item E, Finished Slopes, you requested confirmation from our engineers as to the stability of a 2.5:1 slope. The written confirmation is an enclosed letter addressed to F.N.W. from RZA-AGRA Engineering and Environmental Services dated October 1, 1991. This letter is labeled 11SP-074-91 1-B, Stability and Settling". The final use of the site will be a cemetery. In a conversation I had with Mr. Colt in early October he indicated to me that his intentions after closure of the site would be to procure the necessary permits to expand the existing Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The proposed finish height of the reclamation project will not exceed an elevation of 335 feet. Our engineers expect the typical settlement of the landfill mass to be 10t to 30% of its original thickness under its own weight. For reference, please see "SP-074-91 1-B, Stability and Settling". It has been our experience si.%ce closure of Phases I, II, and III that we have noticed settlement of up to three feet in a period of one year- Therefore, we would request you approve the finished height of :335 feet. As outlined in the plan of operation, we are placing a two fr_ot cap over the inert demolition debris. If: at a later .-ate, Mr. Colt wishes to procure the appropriate permits ft, expansion of the Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at the tia.� of the application he will deal with height and aesthetics of his -Oposed use. I-B Stability/Settling Enclosed please find a letter addressed to F.N.W. from RZA- AGRA Engineering and Environmental Services dated October 1, 1991. The enclosed letter is labeled "SP--074-91 1-B, Stability and Settling". Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton October 25, 1991 Page Three 1-C Cost Data Our cost data for the proposed Cut -Off Wall III located along Blaine Avenue is $103,680.00 which is inclusive of the wall construction cost only. The cost to date of the sanitary sewer extension located within Northeast 3rd Street and Blaine Avenue is $310,153.6',_ These actual costs are hard costs only and do not include any soft costs such as engineering, F.N.W. project overhead and legal expenses. I have enclosed, per your request, an itemized summary of F.N.W. expenses to date. Please see 11SP-074-91 3-C, Cost Data - Cost to Date". With regards to a post closure trust fund, F.N.W. has, in an interest bearing account, approximately $180,000.00 and our attorneys have been working wil`_h the King County Department of Public Health on a format for the closure and post closure trust agreement. Please see enclosure 11SP-074-91 1-C, Closure and Post Closure Trust Fund Agreement". In concept, the format has been approved by the King County Department of Public Health with one exception. The County is requesting a thirty year term for the post closure fund in lieu of a twenty year term. Our consultants and engineers have recommended that the closure and post closure trust fund be established on a twenty year terra as they believe that the land reclamation will stabilize within ten years of closure of the site. The King County Health Department regulations call for a thirty year term, but identify landfills as solid waste landfills. The Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation clearly is not a solid waste landfill. It is an inert demolition landfill. There are no specific outlines for Closure and Post Closure Trust Funds in the King County Health Department regulations for an inert demolition landfill. Therefore, at present, we are working on a variance to the King County regulation. For purposes of this review, Harding Lawson & Associates has calculated the funds necessary to fund the 30 year post closure regulation and have enclosed a letter addressed to F.N.W. dated October 24, 1991 labeled "SP-074-91 1-C, Cost Data and Leachate Containment and Liner Information". We believe it will not be necessary to fund the 30 year and the 20 year will apply. Until such time as we have written approval and our permits are issued for completion of the reclamation site, the funds will remain in an interest bearing account. City or Renton October 25, 1991 Page Four With regards to proposed cost of operation and closure of the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation please see 11SP-074-91 1-C Cost Data, Proposed Cost of Operations". I-D South Wall The south wall is to be considered as a part of our overall closure of the site. It is my understanding Mr. Colt is in the process of acquiring the necessary documents for submission of the mausoleum construction drawings to the City of Renton, and will apply for the required permits. If, for some reason, Mr. Colt elects not to apply for the required permits, I have had R.W. Thorpe and Associates incorporate a 2.5:1 slope at the south fill of the reclamation project adjoining the north property line of the cemetery. As agreed, the fill and cap material foi final cover will not infringe upon the drip line of the existing evergreen trees located along the north property line of the cemetery. For reference, please see enclosure "SP-074-91 1-A, Cross Section Drawings". I-E Closure Status At present, we have installed all of the ground water monitoring wells and methane gas wells required for the project. We have completed approximately 90t of Phase I with the only outstanding work to be performed to be either construction of the mausoleum to the south or, as identified earlier in this letter, if Mr. Colt does not procure the necessary permits and construct the mausoleum by the time we reach final closure, F.N.W. will regrade the existing south slopes of Phases I and II to a 2.5:1 slope. Phase II of the project is 1001 complete and is now in a post closure status. Phase III cf the project is 100% complete and in a post closure status. Phase IV of the project is approximately 70% complete leaving the northern portion to be filled. Included in the 70% completion would be that portion of Cut -Off Wall I, liners, leachate collection lines and roan holes one and two. The remaining 30% would encompass filling per the designed grades as outlined in the plan of operations. Phase V is approximately E5% complete. Included in the 65% completion would be that portion of Cut-off Wall IT and the Leachate Pre -Treatment Building. We have installed o • Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton October 25, 1991 Page Five approximately 35% of the liner in Phase V and have tied the existing man holes I and II into the new man hole as identified in the plan of operations, and installed the transmission line into the Leachate Pre -Treatment Building. The balance of the grading has been performed in Phase V and we are awaiting permits prior to installing the liner. Phase VI of the project has been apprcx.4.mately 25% completed. We have excavated approximately 40% of `he material required to place liners in Phase VI of the project. We have installed 20% of the liner and installed a main leachate collection line along the eastern portion of the newly installed liner. I-F Adiacent North and East Properties The adjacent interface of the proposed new cut-off wall has been addressed in the drawings as prepared by R.W. Thorpe and Associates 11SP-074-91 1-A, Cross Section Drawings". With regards to the stability of the reclamation land fill in areas where no retaining walls are proposed, I have been told by our consultants that the slopes proposed and existing have adequately been designed to maintain overall stability. 2-A Conceptual Drainage Plan Please zee enclosed a conceptual drainage report as prepared by Ms. Marlene Ford with David Evans and Associates dated 10/25/91 laDeled "SP-074-91 2-A, Conceptual Drainage Repo°-t". 2-B Cross Section Drawings for Cut -Off Wall ITI Please see enclosed the cross section drawings for Cut -Off Wall III as prepared by Kristi Evans with R.W.

Ro;h maps illustrate the location of rile four existing domes along Blaine r-X enue East incorrectly. I would like to confirm that the location of these homes was shown incorrectly on the referenced maps and the homes should have been drawn within Phase 6 of the Mt. Olivet reclamation site.

Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton October 25, 1991 Page Three 1-C Cost Data Our cost data for the proposed Cut-off Wall III located along Blaine Avenue is $103,680.00 which is inclusive of the wall construction cost only. The cost to date of the san:`_ary sewer extension located within Northeast 3rd Street and Blaine Avenue is $310,153.67. These actual costs are hard costs only and do not include any soft costs such as engineering, F.N.W. project overhead and legal expenses. I have enclosed, per your request, an itemized summary of F.N.W. expenses to date. Please see "SP-074-91 '_-C, Cost Data - Cost to Date". With regards to a post closure trust fund, F.N.W. has, in an interest bearing account, approximately $180,000.00 and our attorneys have been •corking with the King County Department of Public Health on a format for the closure and post closure trust agreement. Please see enclosure "SP-074-91 1-C, Closure and Post Closure Trust Fund Agreement". In concept, the format has been approved by the King County Department of Public Health with one exception. The County is requesting a thirty year term for the post closure fund in lieu of a twenty year term. our coni,ultants and engineers have recommended that the closure and post closure trust fund be established on a twenty year term as they believe that the land reclamation will stabilize within ten years of closure of the site. The King County Health Department regulations call for a thirty year term, but identify landfills as solid caste landfills. The Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation clearly is not a solid waste landfill. It is an inert demolition landfill. There are no specific outlines for Closure and Post Closure Trust Funds in the King County Health Department regulations for an inert demolition 'landfill. Therefore, at present, we are working on a variance to the King County regulation. For purposes of this review, Harding Lawson & Associates has calculated the funds necessary to fund the 30 year post closure regulation and have enclosed a letter addressed to F.N.W. dated October 24, 1991 labeled "SP-074-91 1-C, Cost Data and Leachate Containment and Liner Information". We believe it will not be necessary to fund the 30 year and the 20 year will apply. Until such time as we have written apprcval and our permits are issued for completio►i of the reclamation site, the funds will remain in an interest bearing account. Mr. Donald Erickson City of Renton October 25, 1991 Page Four With regards to proposed cost of operation and closure of the Mt. Olivet Land Reclamation please see "SP-074-91 1-C Cost Data, Proposed Cost of Operations". I-D South Wall The south wall is to be conEidered as a part of our overall closure of the site. It is my understanding Mr. Colt is in the process of acquiring the necessary documents for submission of the mausoleum construction drawings to the City of Renton, and will apply for the required permits. If, for some reason, Mr. Colt elects not to apply for the required permits, I have had R.W. Thorpe and Associates incorporate a 2.5:1 slope at the south fill of the reclamation project adjoining the north property line of the cemetery. As agreed, the fill and cap material for final cover will not infringe upon the drip line of the existing evergreen trees located along the north property line of the cemetery. For reference, please see enclosure "SP-074-91 1-A, Cross Section Drawings". I-E Closure Status At present, we have installed all of the ground water monitoring wells and methane gas wells required for the project. We have completed approximately 90% of Phase I with the only outstanding work to be performed to be either construction of the mausoleum to the south or, as identified earlier in this letter, if Mr. Colt does not procure the necessary permits and construct the mausoleum by the time we reach final closure, F.K.W. will regrade the existing south slopes of Phases I and II to a 2.5:1 slope. Phase II of the project is 1004 complete and is now in a post closure status. Phase III of the project is 100% complete and in a post closure status. Phase IV of the project is approximately 70% complete leaving the northern portion to be filled. Included in the 70% completion would be that portion of Cut -Off Wall I, liners, leachate collection lines and man holes one and two. The remaining 30% would encompass filling per the designed grades as outlined in the plan of operations. Phase V is approximately 65% complete. !ded in the 65% completior would be that portion of Cut-oi_ Wall II and the Leachate Pre -Treatment Building. We have installed
