Alex,
We have reviewed the Notice of Application/ODNS and the available information for the proposed new hanger (Building 4-
87) at Boeing’s 737 plant site. We offer the following questions/initial comments:
More information is needed regarding lighting at this new building which is approximately 250 feet from the OWHM of
Lake Washington. As we have been commenting on various projects at the Renton plant site and the City’s maintenance
dredging on the Cedar River, we are extremely concerned about artificial lighting and its impacts on juvenile salmon and
salmon predator behaviors. This proposed new building is near the WDNR/WSDOT mitigation site on Lake Washington
which has improved nearshore habitat for juvenile Chinook; however, per the attached monitoring report, lighting
associated with the Boeing plant site appears to have increased to the potential detriment of Chinook salmon(see
Attachments 1 and 2). The new building with additional artificial lighting could exasperate this condition. Therefore, the
applicant should provide more information about proposed artificial lighting; an analysis of potential impacts from this
lighting and light intensity that can reach the nearshore of Lake Washington; and how the applicant will be avoiding,
minimizing, and mitigation for artificial lighting impacts.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposal and look forward to the City of Renton/Boeing’s responses. If you
have questions, please let me know.
Thank you,
