The in-lieu fee credit total and the breakdown by function (water quality, hydrologic, habitat) must be rounded to the nearest thousandth. We cannot sell credits past the thousandth (three numbers after the decimal). King County does not allow reservation of credits. Credits can be purchased after permits are approved. If any regulatory agencies have questions about our process or availability of credits, feel free to put them in contact with me. Moving forward, I would prefer to be consulted as needed as you work through the process with City of Renton instead of being included in all correspondence with the City. Please reach out if you need anything else related to mitigation at this time. Thank you.

Jill, we have been coordinating with Megan at the King County Fee in Luie program and she has indicated they have the credits for our purchase. I will get a verification from her again but as seen below they have the credits for sale for this project. Ed Good Afternoon. Thanks for checking back. The King County In-Lieu Fee Program has credits available in our Cedar River/Lake Washington Service Area that could provide mitigation credits for this impact. Since we do not have mitigation in the City of Renton, it will be important to coordinate with the city to determine whether mitigation through the King County In-Lieu Fee Program would be acceptable.

(See attached documents) 1. Documentation from King County Mitigation Reserves Program Per discussions with Megan Webb of the King County Mitigation Reserves Program (KC MRP), credits are available for this project through the Rainbow Bend Mitigation Project located in the Cedar River service area. The attached In-Lieu Fee Use Plan, Credit/Debit Scoresheets, and Debit Calculator Spreadsheet prepared by Sewall Wetland Consulting (September 7, 2025) calculate the required mitigation credits using the WADOE 2012 “Calculating Debits and Credits” methodology. KC MRP has confirmed that credits may be purchased to compensate for the proposed impacts. 2. Drainage Basin Documentation The attached Impacts Analysis Report (Sewall Wetland Consulting, September 7, 2025) and supporting drainage study prepared by Sazei Design Group confirm that the site drains to the south into the Cedar River Drainage Basin, which includes both Wetland A and Wetland B. Therefore, use of credits from the Rainbow Bend Mitigation Project is consistent with the City’s requirement that mitigation occur within the same drainage basin. 3. SEPA Checklist We acknowledge that this project will require SEPA Environmental Review. We are in the process of preparing the SEPA Environmental Checklist and will provide it under separate cover. 4. SEPA Review Fee We understand the required $1,948.80 Environmental (SEPA) Review fee will be due upon submission of the checklist, and will provide payment at that time.

Docusign Envelope ID: 6A37E369-83A5-4681-BBCF-E252AC941B41 7 We trust that the attached documentation satisfies the City’s request at this stage. Please let me know if you require any additional information or clarification in the meantime. Sincerely, Altaf G.

In order the move the review of the project forward, the following additional information would need to be submitted: 1. Documentation from King County that credits may be purchased from their bank, this documentation should include the number of credits that would be purchased and what the purchase price would be. 2. Documentation (i.e. a map) that the wetland mitigation bank is located within the same drainage basin as the project site. 3. Completion of a SEPA Checklist, as this project will now be required to go through Environmental (SEPA) Review. 4. Payment of the $1,948.80 Environmental (SEPA) Review fee.

Hi Jill, Megan, and Ed, Thank you all for the helpful discussion regarding the wetland impacts at Parcel 1123059068. Given Ed’s confirmation that the King County In-Lieu Fee Program falls within the same drainage basin, it sounds like we’re aligned to move forward with this mitigation option. Megan – could you please provide Jill with the necessary documentation outlining the available credits and process for securing them through the King County program? This will allow the City of Renton to formally initiate the mitigation process. Please let me know if any additional information is needed from our end to keep things moving.
