See also https://tin.al/AE4DV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SSDP) for the Kennydale Lakeline Sewer System Replacement Project. The project site includes multiple parcels (noted above), City of Renton right-of-way, King County Parks property, and private property located between 3905 Lake Washington Blvd N and the north end of Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. The existing 4,680-foot in-lake sewer system will be replaced with a new land-based low-pressure sewer system serving 56 properties and a public park. The proposed replacement system includes approximately 4,950 linear feet of new force main, 55 individual grinder pump stations, and associated electrical and utility improvements, to be constructed primarily within Mountain View Ave N and an unnamed access road east of the lake. The project will occur in two phases: (1) upland construction of the new sewer system and (2) in-water decommissioning of the existing lake-line system. In-water work will be staged from barges and occur during the approved fish window (approximately July 16 to December 31). Temporary construction-related disturbance will total approximately 113,670 square feet in upland areas and 875 square feet in aquatic areas. Work would occur within and adjacent to Lake Washington, a Shoreline of the State. Shoreline designations on the site include Single Family Residential, Urban Conservancy, and Aquatic. Work is anticipated to start in early 2026 and last up to 18 months. The project includes mitigation and restoration measures to ensure no net loss of shoreline ecological function. Supporting documents submitted with the application includes a SEPA checklist, vegetation management plan, geotechnical report, arborist report, and Lake Study.
