Hello Kelli,
Thank you for your comments on the Renton Highlands Short Plat (LUA24-000078) related to the
proposed wetland impacts and associated mitigation strategy. As previously noted, your comment has
been included in the official project file and you have been made a party of record to the project. Staff will
communicate to the applicant that additional agency permits may be required for the proposed direct
wetland impacts. Thank you for your interest in this project and if you have any further questions or

Comment: Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) notice of application utilizing the optional determination of nonsignificance (ODNS/NOA)
process for the Renton Highlands Short Plat project. Based on review of the checklist associated
with this project, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has the following comments:
The wetlands delineated on this property would be considered waters of the state subject to
the applicable requirements of state law (see RCW 90.48 and WAC 173.201A).
Because direct wetland impacts are proposed, the applicant must obtain all necessary state and
potentially federal authorizations prior to beginning any ground-disturbing activities or
vegetation removal.
Ecology's Shorelands and Environmental Assistance (SEA) program has reviewed the wetland
related materials submitted in support of this application, and it appears that Renton is in
agreement with the applicant regarding the extent of wetlands present within the project area
and wetland mitigation compensation approach. It is important to note that the SEA Program’s
perspective on wetland boundaries, wetland ratings, and wetland mitigation approach may
differ from what is currently proposed by the applicant.
Thank you for considering these comments from Ecology. If you have any questions or would
like to respond to these comments, please contact Neil Molstad from the SEA Program at (425)
389-5549 or by email at neil.molstad@ecy.wa.gov.
