ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether
the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to
determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address
the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic
information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the
best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant
for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain
why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate
by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often
avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the
existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts.
The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead
agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting
documents.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: For nonproject proposals (such as
ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B
plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant,"
and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic

(check or circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
A majority of the site is relatively flat but sits lower than the adjacent south parcel and right-
of-way to the east. Adjacent property grades fall onto the project site from slight slopes to as
great as 40%. No development is proposed within these steep slope areas.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any
agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in
removing any of these soils.
Please refer to geotechnical report included in this submittal.
Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
To our knowledge, there is no history of unstable soils although the city has mapped the south
property line as sensitive and protected slopes. These slopes are heavily vegetated which will
remain as there is no development of these areas proposed.
d. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area
of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
No excavation or filling is expected for this phase of the project.
e. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes, erosion could occur due to the building demolition from concentrated stormwater leaving
the site. However, the implementation of a temporary sediment and erosion control plan
using Best Management Practices should mitigate impact.
f. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Under existing conditions there is about 60% of the site covered with impervious surfaces
inclusive of the existing building; this would be the same after this phase of the project.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth,
if any:
The proposal will follow storm water management design criteria required by the City of
Renton and erosion and sediment control plans will be developed in accordance with

standards referenced by City of Renton. These measures include catch basin protection, silt
fencing, construction access and temporary runoff collection.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile,
odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction, operation, and maintenance when
the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if
known.
Demolition and construction activities could cause dust at the site. Construction vehicles and
equipment may cause exhaust emissions. Efforts will be made to regulate emissions to the
air. After the project is complete, air quality will return to previous condition.
Are there any off–site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
To our knowledge, there are no offsite sources of emissions or odors that will affect the
proposal.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
The contractor will follow Best Management Practices during demolition of the proposed
project. Vehicles not in use will be shut off and materials stored on site will be enclosed or
covered when not in use.
3. WATER
a. Surface Water:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including
year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
There is an existing “Regional Detention Facility Pump Station pond” which is approximately
220-feet to the west of the subject building to be demolished.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the
described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.

water will be discharged into the ground water.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals. . . ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
No waste material will be discharged into the ground. The site is connected to an existing
sanitary sewer in the roadway at the north-northwest of the site. This sanitary service will be
capped prior to demolition of the building.
c. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow?
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.

proposal? If so, describe.
The demolition of the existing buildings under this phase of the project could include exposure
to toxic chemicals risk of fire and spills or hazardous waste. Prior to demolition; the building
will be inspected and any hazardous materials will be removed per a remediation plan.
1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses.
The site has been assigned Cleanup Site ID 11481 by the Department of Ecology for limited
areas of soil and groundwater contamination from a former oil water separator and former
waste collection vaults located west of the existing building. The subgrade features have been
removed, contaminated soil was excavated and transported off-site for disposal in 1993 and
2015, and groundwater monitoring was begun in the 1990s. An additional area of soil and
groundwater contamination was identified and delineated on the north side of the building in
2017. Following this proposed building demolition phase and during the site development
and building construction phase, decommissioning of an existing monitoring well, soil and
groundwater in this area will be removed and transported offsite for disposal.

No special emergency services will be required other than police and fire protection that
already exists.
5) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Potential exposures from inhalation or ingestion of toxic chemicals in soil or groundwater
during demolition are highly preventable and will be managed using a site-specific health and
safety plan, personal protective equipment, and other measures as appropriate. All
remediation work will be performed by HAZWOPER-certified contractors. Risk of potential
spill of contaminated soil or groundwater will be managed using standard spill prevention and
countermeasure procedures, including on-site spill response kits.
Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example:
