WAC 197-11-960
WAC 197-11-960 SEPA Environmental Checklist Page | 1
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact
statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the
quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the
agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can
be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most
precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,
you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need
to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal,
write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary
delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can
assist you.
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.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
For nonproject proposals complete this checklist and the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (Part
D). The lead agency may exclude any question for the environmental elements (Part B) which they
determine do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.
For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property
or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, (hilly), (steep slopes), mountainous,
other...
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The site slopes gently from the southeast to the west and the northwest in the approximate
three-quarters of the property. The slopes along the western portion of the site have slope
gradients approaching 50 to 75 percent.
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.
Per the Terra Associates report, the site is mapped at the contact between Vashon Till (QT/Qvt)
to the north, Younger Sand/Recessional Outwash (Qys/Qvr) to the east and Older Clay Till and
WAC 197-11-960 SEPA Environmental Checklist Page | 4
Gravel/Pre-Fraser Deposits Undifferentiated (Qc/Qpf) to the west. The report agrees that the
Qys/Qvr and Qt/Qvt mapping is generally consistent with the subsurface findings at the site,
although they believe the medium dense to dense sand deposits observed below the till-like
deposits are more consistent with Advance Outwash (Qva) which is mapped approximately
3,100 feet to the east. Furthermore, reconnaissance performed along the western slope
indicated that the slope is underlain at depth by the Qc/Qpf mapped unit.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
There are no known surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity.
e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any
filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
The project proposes the subdivision of the approximate 48,066 square foot sized project site
into five lots. The earthwork quantities are approximately 40 cubic yards of cut, 6,080 cubic
yards of fill for an approximate net total of 6,040 cubic yards of fill.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Minor erosion is always possible with construction such as sedimentation and channelization.
Erosion control measures will be put in place with construction to reduce these risks.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction
(for example, asphalt or buildings)?
R-8 zoning in the City of Renton allows up to 65% of the project site to be covered by impervious
surface, with a maximum building coverage of 50%. Exact impervious coverage numbers will be
determined at the time of building permit.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Implementation of Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) has been prepared and
submitted to reduce or control erosion during construction. A SWPPP, as required by code, will
be reviewed throughout the Civil Construction Permit review process.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation,
and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate
quantities if known.
Air emissions from construction vehicles are anticipated to be consistent with the machinery
typically used in single-family residential construction and are regulated by the Puget Sound
Clean Air Agency.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally
describe.
WAC 197-11-960 SEPA Environmental Checklist Page | 5
There are no known off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect this proposal.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:

time. The building permit will be reviewed for compliance with current regulations.
3. WATER
a. Surface:
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.
Per the Wetland and Stream Reconnaissance conducted by Wetland Resources, there are no
streams on the site. May Creek and an adjacent wetland are approximately 320 feet to the
west/southwest of the site.
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.
No. The offsite May Creek and associated wetland are located over 300 feet from the subject
property, therefore no work is proposed within 200 feet of water in the surrounding area.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from
surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the
source of fill material.
Not applicable as there is no surface water on or near the site.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description,
purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
Not applicable as there is no surface water on or near the site.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan.
No, the site is not located within a 100-year floodplain (reference FEMA Flood Map
53033C0664G, effective 08-19-2020).
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe
the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
No discharges of waste materials to surface waters are proposed.
b. Ground:
1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so, give a
general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities withdrawn from the
WAC 197-11-960 SEPA Environmental Checklist Page | 6
well? Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and
approximate quantities if known.
No. The existing home is already connected to the City of Renton Water and the project
proposes connecting the new residences to public utilities as well.
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.
None anticipated. The existing home is already connected to public sewer and the new homes
are also proposed to connect to City sewer.
c. Water Runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including stormwater) 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.
Runoff from the proposed development will be collected and conveyed to an on-site detention
system and discharged to the west following existing drainage patterns.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
It is unlikely that waste materials could enter ground or surface waters. During construction,
TESC measures will be in place to reduce the risk of groundwater contamination. A SWPPP will
be prepared and submitted to the City of Renton for approval with the Civil Construction
Permit.
3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so,
describe.
