Dear Ashley Wragge:
The King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) has received the Notice of Application
for the Burnett Ave N Noise Variance 2026- ROW adjacent project (LUA26-000086) that
proposes the applicant, Puget Sound Energy, is requesting an Administrative Noise Variance
from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) in order to
replace an existing utility pole with a new pole adjacent to 308 Burnett Ave N. The applicant is
proposing the work at night to limit disruption to nearby businesses since this maintenance
work would require power outages to several businesses. The work would take one night to
complete and the proposed night work would occur from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am on a date
between the beginning of April to end of August 2026. Noise levels resulting from project
construction activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 84 to 90 dBA as perceived
at 70 feet from the source of the noise. These sound levels are expected to diminish from the
source of the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime
work, as maximum permissible environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated
by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels
between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). The pieces of equipment that are proposed
to be utilized to complete the work include a vacuum truck, a flatbed truck, a line truck, and a
bucket truck. When possible, minimal use of loud equipment and tools as well as breaks will
be utilized to minimize sound levels.
King County WTD previously provided a comment letter to same project on November 10, 2025
(attached KCWTD comment letter for project# LUA25-000365, PR25-000001). Please apply
both comment letters to this current project number listed above and any future updates
related to Burnett Ave N Noise Variance 2026 ROW adjacent project located at 308 Burnett Ave
N (parcel 7225600495).

complete and the proposed night work would occur from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am on a date
between mid-November to end of December.
A King County facility, the Eastside Interceptor is located in the right of way of the
proposed work area. (See enclosed record drawing and one line drawing showing the
location of the facility in the project vicinity).
In order to protect this wastewater facility during construction, WTD requires that City of
Renton submit preliminary design drawings for the project, so that WTD can assess its
potential impacts. Please send drawings to:
Local Public Agency Program
King County WTD, Engineering and Technical Resources
201 South Jackson Street, KSC-NR-0503
Seattle, WA 98104-3855
(206) 477-5414 | lpa.team@kingcounty.gov
Please contact the Local Public Agency Program a minimum of 10 working days prior to
commencing any construction to allow time for staff to arrange for a King County Inspector to
be present during construction.
