INTRODUCTION This report summarizes traffic impacts related to the Walker Dealership project. The general goals of this impact study concentrate on 1) the assessment of existing roadway conditions and intersection congestion, 2) forecasts of newly generated project traffic, 3) estimations of future delay, and 4) recommendations for mitigation. Preliminary tasks include the detailed collection of roadway information, road improvement information, and peak hour traffic counts. A level of service analysis for existing traffic conditions is then made to determine the present degree of intersection congestion. Based on this analysis, forecasts of future traffic levels on the surrounding street system are found. Following this forecast, the future service levels for the key intersections are investigated. As a final step, applicable conclusions and possible on-site or off-site mitigation measures are defined. The city of Renton Traffic Impact Guidelines dated January 2016 was reviewed and incorporated into this analysis. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project will add a new car dealership with a total of 35,000 square feet of building space. The site is located on the east side of East Valley Road across from SW 34th Street. It is planned that one new main entrance will be added to join the two existing accesses already connected to East Valley Road. The site was recently occupied by an auto salvage business. The project is expected to be built out and operational by 2021. For the purpose of analysis, the report will look at the future 2021 horizon year. Figure 1 on the following page shows the general site location along with the local street network. The site plan is given in Figure 2. 3 4 5 III. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Surrounding Roadway System Roadways serving the proposed site consist of the SR-167 freeway and multi-lane arterials. The primary roadways serving the site are listed and described below. East Valley Road is a north-south, three-lane principal arterial that borders the west side of the site. The roadway has an established speed limit of 45 mph. Paving is asphalt and lane widths are around 12 feet. Curb, gutters, and sidewalks are provided along its length. Grades are mild to flat in the area. SW 34th Street is an east-west, four-lane collector that has a posted speed limit of 25 mph and lies westerly of the project. Paving is asphalt and lane widths are around 12 feet. Curb, gutters, and sidewalks are also provided along its length. Grades are generally mild to flat. B. Existing Peak Hour Volumes and Patterns Field data for this study was collected in April of 2018. The evening traffic count was taken during the peak period between the hours of 4 PM and 6 PM. This specific peak period was targeted for analysis purposes since it generally represents the highest traffic scenario for roadways. This is primarily due to the common 8 AM to 5 PM work schedule and the greater number of personal trips occurring after work hours. Most commuters return to their dwellings at the same time of day which translates to a natural peak in intersection traffic loads. Figure 3 on the following page shows the weekday PM peak volumes for the key intersections serving the project. Traffic count data can be found in the appendix. C. Roadway Improvements A review of the latest City of Renton 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program shows one project is planned in the direct vicinity of the site. Lind Avenue SW – SW 16th St to SW 43rd St (Project No. 37) Planned for construction in 2021 through 2023, this project will improve Lind Avenue SW between SW 16th Street and SW 43rd Street. Improvements include roadway widening, channelization improvements, curb and gutter improvements, and storm water improvements. The total proposed cost is estimated at $4,400,000. 6 7 D. Public Transit A review of the Metro Transit bus schedule shows transit service is provided near the project along Lind Avenue which is located approximately 1400 feet from the site. Route 153 provides service at the corner of Lind Avenue SW and SW 34th Street. The route times range from approximately 5:30 AM to 8 PM. E. Sight Distance at Access Driveways The proposed project will have several access driveways onto East Valley Road. Assessments of the driveways were made to establish whether sufficient entering sight distance is available. Preliminary review shows sight distance at all access points is sufficient. The East Valley Road corridor is straight with no vertical curvature. IV. FUTURE TRAFFIC DEMAND A. Trip Generation Data presented in this report was taken from the Institute of Transportation Engineer's publication Trip Generation, 10th Edition. The designate land use is defined as Automobile Sales (New) under Land Use Code 840. ITE average rates were used. Data for the 4 PM to 6 PM peak hour was used for future traffic estimations and LOS calculations. Table 1 gives a summary of the estimated project trip generation for the proposed 35,000 square feet of building space. Included are the average weekday volume and the AM and PM peak hour volumes. TABLE 1 Project Trip Generation 35,000 s.f. Automobile Sales – LUC 840 Time Period Volume AWDT 974 vpd AM Peak Inbound 48 vph AM Peak Outbound 18 vph AM Peak Total 66 vph PM Peak Inbound 34 vph PM Peak Outbound 51 vph PM Peak Total 85 vph B. Trip Assignment and Distribution 8 The destination and origination of the generated traffic primarily influences the project entrances and the key intersections which would effectively receive the majority of project related traffic. Site generated trips are expected to follow the pattern shown in Figure 4 on the following page. The figure reflects work-based and patron-based trips taken by project traffic during the PM peak hour. Distribution percentages are based on existing travel patterns. Figure 4 models all project traffic as only using the primary entrance to the Walker project in order to analyze a potential worst-case scenario as far as delays and safety issues are concerned. C. Future Traffic Volumes With and Without the Project The build out year of 2021 was used to assess future impacts. Future 2021 traffic volumes were derived by applying a 2 percent growth rate per year over 3 years to the existing volumes found in Figure 3. Figure 5 gives the volumes for future 2021 traffic volumes without project traffic. Figure 6 shows 2021 volumes with project traffic included. 9 10 11 12 D. Future Level of Service Future peak hour delays were determined through the use of the Highway Capacity Manual. Capacity analysis is used to determine level of service (LOS) which is an established measure of congestion for transportation facilities. LOS is defined for a variety of facilities including intersections, freeways, arterials, etc. A complete definition for level of service and related criteria can be found in the HCM. The methodology for determining the LOS at signalized intersections strives to determine the volume to capacity (/c) ratios for the various intersection movements as well as the average control delay for those movements. Delay is generally used to measure the degree of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost time. Control delay, in particular, includes movements at slower speeds and stops on intersection approaches as vehicles move up in queue position or slow down upstream of an intersection. Aside from the overall quantity of traffic, three specific factors influence signalized intersection LOS. These include the type of signal operation provided, the signal phasing pattern, and the specific allocation of green time. The methodology for determining the LOS at unsignalized intersections strives to determine the potential capacities for the various vehicle movements and ultimately determines the average total delay for each movement. Potential Capacity represents the number of additional vehicles that could effectively utilize a particular movement, which is essentially the equivalent of the difference between the movement capacity and the existing movement volume. Total delay is described as the elapsed time from when a vehicle stops at the end of a queue until the vehicle departs from the stop line. Average total delay is simply the mean total delay over the entire stream. A number of factors influence potential capacity and total delay including the availability/usefulness of gaps. The range for intersection level of service is LOS A to LOS F with the former indicating the best operating conditions with low control delays and the latter indicating the worst conditions with heavy control delays. Detailed descriptions of intersection LOS are given in the Highway Capacity Manual. Level of service calculations were made through the use of Synchro, which follows procedures of the HCM for unsignalized and signalized intersections. Refer to the HCM for a description of the analysis. Level of service results and accompanying approach delays are shown in Table 2 on the following page. The future results reflect 2021 future traffic conditions both without the project traffic and with the project traffic. Existing delays are also given for reference. 13 TABLE 2 Level of Service Delays given in Seconds Per Vehicle Existing Without With Intersection Control Geometry LOS Delay LOS Delay LOS Delay E Valley/34th St Stop Eastbound B 11.3 B 11.6 B 12.1 Northbound LT A 8.2 A 8.3 A 8.4 Lind/34th St Stop Eastbound C 19.3 C 21.2 C 22.1 Westbound C 15.8 C 16.8 C 19.0 Northbound LT A 8.8 A 8.9 A 8.9 Southbound LT A 8.1 A 8.2 A 8.2 E Valley/41st St Signal Eastbound D 44.4 D 46.2 D 46.2 Westbound D 54.6 E 57.3 E 57.6 Northbound D 40.8 D 47.2 D 49.5 Southbound D 36.0 D 38.5 D 39.8 Overall D 43.4 D 46.8 D 47.8 E Valley/Entrances Stop Westbound -- -- -- -- B 12.5 (Combined) Southbound LT -- -- -- -- A 8.0 As shown in Table 2 above, delays are generally mild at LOS C or better under all scenarios with respect to the stop-controlled intersections. The signalized intersection of E Valley & 41st Street/SR-167 Ramps is shown to operate at an acceptable LOS D for the existing and future analyses. Furthermore, the project access is shown to operate with minimal delays at LOS B when analyzed conservatively (distributed all inbound/outbound volumes to one entrance) under the horizon 2021 timeframe. V. CONCLUSIONS AND MITIGATION The Walker New Car Dealership project consists of constructing a new dealership that will provide 35,000 square feet of building. On a daily basis, 974 total trip movements into and out of the site would be expected. Of this total daily traffic, 66 trips would be associated with the AM peak hour and 85 trips with the PM peak hour. Access to the site is proposed via one new main entrance onto East Valley Road in conjunction with the two existing accesses serving the auto salvage company. Future delay conditions for the project accesses are outlined in Table 2 and indicates acceptable level or service. Overall the project will have a minimal impact on the surrounding roadway system. Proposed mitigation for the Walker Mazda project is as follows: 1.Pay traffic impact fees based on city of Renton requirements. Credit for the automobile salvage yard should be given. 14 WALKER MAZDA CAR DEALERSHIP TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS APPENDIX 15 LEVEL OF SERVICE The following are excerpts from the Highway Capacity Manual - Transportation Research Board Special Report 209. Quality of service requires quantitative measures to characterize operational conditions within a traffic stream. Level of service (LOS) is a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, and comfort and convenience. Six LOS are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters designate each level, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F the worst. Each level of service represents a range of operating conditions and the driver’s perception of those conditions. Level-of-Service definitions The following definitions generally define the various levels of service for arterials. Level of service A represents primarily free-flow operations at average travel speeds, usually about 90 percent of the free-flow speed for the arterial classification. Vehicles are seldom impeded in their ability to maneuver in the traffic stream. Delay at signalized intersections is minimal. Level of service B represents reasonably unimpeded operations at average travel speeds, usually about 70 percent of the free-flow speed for the arterial classification. The ability to maneuver in the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and delays are not bothersome. Level of service C represents stable operations; however, ability to maneuver and change lanes in midblock locations may be more restricted than in LOS B, and longer queues, adverse signal coordination, or both may contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50 percent of the average free-flow speed for the arterial classification. Level of service D borders on a range in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in approach delay and hence decreases in arterial speed. LOS D may be due to adverse signal progression, inappropriate signal timing, high volumes, or some combination of these. Average travel speeds are about 40 percent of free-flow speed. Level of service E is characterized by significant delays and average travel speeds of one- third the free-flow speed or less. Such operations are caused by some combination of 16 adverse progression, high signal density, high volumes, extensive delays at critical intersections, and inappropriate signal timing. Level of service F characterizes arterial flow at extremely low speeds, from less than one- third to one-quarter of the free-flow speed. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locations, with long delays and extensive queuing. These definitions are general and conceptual in nature, and they apply primarily to uninterrupted flow. Levels of service for interrupted flow facilities vary widely in terms of both the user's perception of service quality and the operational variables used to describe them. For each type of facility, levels of service are defined based on one or more operational parameters that best describe operating quality for the subject facility type. While the concept of level of service attempts to address a wide range of operating conditions, limitations on data collection and availability make it impractical to treat the full range of operational parameters for every type of facility. The parameters selected to define levels of service for each facility type are called "measures of effectiveness" or "MOE's" and represent available measures that best describe the quality of operation on the subject facility type. Each level of service represents a range of conditions, as defined by a range in the parameters given. Thus, a level of service is not a discrete condition, but rather a range of conditions for which boundaries are established. The following tables describe levels of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections. Level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of average control delay. Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption and lost travel time, as well as time from movements at slower speeds and stops on intersection approaches as vehicles move up in queue position or slow down upstream of an intersection. Level of service for unsignalized intersections is determined by the computed or measured control delay and is determined for each minor movement. 17 Control Delay per Level of Service Vehicle (sec) A 10 B 10 and 20 C 20 and 35 D 35 and 55 E 55 and 80 F 80 Unsignalized Intersections - Level of Service Average Total Delay Level of Service per Vehicle (sec) A 10 B 10 and 15 C 15 and 25 D 25 and 35 E 35 and 50 F 50 As described in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual, level of service breakpoints for all- way stop controlled (AWSC) intersections are somewhat different than the criteria used for signalized intersections. The primary reason for this difference is that drivers expect different levels of performance from distinct kinds of transportation facilities. The expectation is that a signalized intersection is designed to carry higher traffic volumes than an AWSC intersection, thus a higher level of control delay is acceptable at a signalized intersection for the same level of service.

Valley Rd Renton, Washington 1 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 1 INTRODUCTION PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. (PBS) has prepared the following Critical Area Report for a property recently purchased by Mr. Dale Walker and being proposed for development as a new car dealership. The site was operated as an auto junk yard and auto repair shop for at least 50 years prior to being purchased by Mr. Walker. Most recently the property was doing business as South End Auto Wrecking, Inc. Various forms of contamination have been identified at the site and cleanup efforts will likely include removal of some of the contaminated soils. Stemen Environmental is coordinating a cleanup of the site under Ecology’s voluntary cleanup program. Mr. Walker has cleared the vehicles and trash off the site in preparation for development of the lot. The City of Renton requested a wetland delineation prior to any excavation or grading of the site. Before PBS could conduct the delineation, Mr. Walker had someone clear the vegetation at the east edge of the property. The clearing extended across a City identified wetland at the east edge of the site onto the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) right-of-way for State Route 167. This report identifies the wetland boundary, assesses the impacts to the wetland from the clearing activity, and includes a restoration plan for restoring wetland vegetation. 2 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Location and Setting The property is located at 3400 East Valley Road, inside the City limits of Renton, WA. It is in the NE quarter of Section 30, Township 23 North, Range 05 East. The property consists of a single tax lot (King County tax parcel 3023059067) totaling approximately 5.65 acres (Figure 1). The approximate center of the site is at latitude 47.449707, longitude -122.216895. The property is in the Lower Green – Duwamish watershed in the Duwamish-Green River Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9). The Walker property borders East Valley Road on the west side, State Route 167 to the east, and commercial properties to the south and north. The property sits in a regional low-lying area that was once part of a large wetland complex at the junction of the Cedar, Black, and Green Rivers. An historic map shows a small stream running through the middle of the property from the southeast corner to the west side. The project site is relatively flat with elevations ranging from 16 feet above sea level near the northeast corner and the southwest corner to 24 feet near the middle of the site. Most of the surface drainage is towards the southwest corner, with some drainage flowing to the east. 2.2 Site History The property was used for agricultural land until the 1950’s or 1960’s Since then it has been used as an auto junkyard and auto repair facility. Historic aerials from 1936 and 1940 show agricultural fields across the entire area. No obvious wetlands are visible on these photos and any stream that may have been present has likely been ditched. Highway 167 was built in the 1960’s and a 1964 aerial shows the south half and the west third of the north half of the property cleared with fill placement likely. By 1968 the entire property is being used as an auto junkyard except for a strip of vegetation along the east edge. In 2008, WSDOT widened SR 167 extending the roadway approximately 30 feet to the west and constructing a rock gabion retaining wall just east of the subject property. The retaining wall was designed to limit impacts to a wetland that extended nearly a mile along the west edge of the roadway. In October of 2017, the eastern portion of the property and the adjacent WSDOT right-of-way was cleared of trees and shrubs. Some of the logs and brush were left in the wetland, some appear to have been collected in slash piles outside the wetland, and some appear to have been chipped in place. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 2 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 WSDOT sent notification of the incident to Washington Department of Ecology, the City of Renton, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, and the Muckleshoot tribe. Mr. Walker is currently working with WSDOT on resolution of the unauthorized clearing and restoration of the wetland vegetation. 2.3 Hydrology The property is in the Panther Creek watershed. Panther Creek flows into Springbrook Creek, which in turn flows into the Black River and then the Green/Duwamish River. The site is part of the Duwamish – Green Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9). The hydrology of this area has been dramatically changed over the last century with the lowering of Lake Washington which dried up much of the Black River, redirection of the Cedar River flows from the Black and Green Rivers into Lake Washington, and filling of vast areas of wetland and conversion of the floodplain and wetlands to commercial and industrial uses. Hydrology at the site currently comes primarily from direct precipitation, high groundwater, and stormwater runoff. There is a culvert connection under SR 167 near the south end of the property that allows water to pass through between the Panther Creek wetlands to the east of the Highway and the wetland between the west side of the highway and the subject property. Water level readings in wells installed by Stemen Environmental show water levels 7 to 10 feet below the ground surface across much of the site during the dry season and near the surface during the wet season, particularly in the southwest corner. Based on data from the wells, groundwater flow appears to be towards the west and the Green River. Surface flows on the site are towards the southwest corner and the east side of the property. Historic aerials show a stormwater pond constructed in 2011 in the southwest corner of the subject property. According to Mr. Stemen, water was pumped out of the pond east towards the southeast corner, where it was filtered in an oyster shell pit before entering the wetland. This stormwater treatment facility is visible on photos starting in 2012 and was approved by Ecology. The pumps have since been removed and water now overflows the stormwater pond across much of the southwest corner of the site. The remains of the stormwater pond and the oyster shell pit were found during the site visit. An east/west ditch across the property is visible on aerials in the southern half of the property. Portions of this ditch were still present during the site visit, though no direct connection to the wetland was observed. At the time of the site visit, there was shallow ponded water in much of the southwest corner and water up to 2 feet deep in the wetland on the WSDOT right-of-way. 2.4 Soils Soils are mapped as urban land across the subject property due to high levels of disturbance (NRCS 2017). To the west, across East Valley Road, soils are mapped as Tukwila Muck. To the east on the other side of SR 167, soils are mapped as Seattle Muck. Both soils are deep, poorly drained organic soils that formed in herbaceous and woody deposits in depressions and river valleys. Surface soil on the property is nearly all fill material. Some remnants of the original muck soils are found in the wetland in the WSDOT right-of-way. 2.5 Vegetation Communities 2.5.1 Historic Vegetation Communities The property would have probably originally supported a mix of upland forested and forested, scrub-shrub and emergent wetland communities. Black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), western red-cedar (Thuja plicata), red alder (Alnus rubra). Pacific willow (Salix lucida ssp lasiandra) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) would have been present in the forested wetland areas. Shrubs likely included willows (Salix sp), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), Douglas spirea (Spirea douglasii) and others. Sedges (Carex sp), rushes (Juncus sp, Scirpus sp) and a variety of other herbaceous plants would have also Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 3 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 been present. The original forest and wetlands were likely logged, cleared and drained over a century ago to make way for agricultural fields and then commercial and industrial development. 2.5.2 Existing Vegetation For the last 50 years or more, there has been very little vegetation on the site except for some narrow fringes of mostly weedy species along the edges. There was a forested wetland on the WSDOT right-of-way just east of the property. Based on vegetation on the properties to the north and south and remaining vegetation in th, this area, the vegetation in the right-of-way consisted of an overstory of black cottonwood and Pacific willow, with red-osier dogwood, Douglas spirea and Himalayan blackberry in the shrub layer and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), slough sedge (Carex obnupta), and horsetails (Equisetum sp) in the understory. Other species may also be present, but were not identifiable at the time of the site visit in December. 3 CRITICAL AREAS 3.1 National and Local Wetland Inventories The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps a 1.6 acre palustrine, forested, seasonally flooded wetland just east of the property along the west side of SR 167 extending north from the subject property. A 25-acre palustrine, emergent and scrub-shrub, semi-permanently flooded wetland is mapped on the east side of SR 167 that extends north to SR 405. Several other emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands are shown south of this larger wetland. A palustrine forested wetland associated with Panther Creek is also mapped along the east side of SR 167. All of these wetlands are part of a wetland complex associated with Panther Creek and Rolling Hills Creek that has been fragmented by SR 167 and other development. The City of Renton wetland maps show a 52-acre wetland on the east side of SR 167 and a 3-acre wetland on the west side of SR 167. While the NWI map shows wetland extending only halfway along the east side of the property, the City of Renton wetland maps show the wetland extending along the entire east edge of the property and continuing over 600 feet south of the property boundary. Figure 2 shows the City mapped wetlands and Figure 3 shows the NWI mapped wetlands. 3.2 Wetland Delineation Methods 3.2.1 Rationale for Delineation Methods Based upon guidance provided in the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast Supplement (Version 2.0) (WMVC Regional Supplement), it is the best professional judgment of the PBS delineation team that the current wetlands in the study area still exist under reasonably “normal circumstances” as defined in the 1987 Manual and supplement despite the recent clearing. Wetland soils and hydrology are still present. Remnants of the cleared vegetation along with reference vegetation to the north and south allowed for inference of wetland vegetation at the site pre-clearing. Therefore, we delineated waters and wetlands on the project using methods recommended in the manual for normal circumstances. 3.2.2 Office Methods Office preparation for the delineation consisted of reviewing a variety of online sources including aerial photographs, City of Renton GIS layers, King County iMAP, soils maps and descriptions, weather history, site history, etc. 3.2.3 Field Methods Katharine Lee, a Professional Wetland Scientist, and Kevin Hood conducted a field visit on December 13, 2017. The wetland was delineated using the three-parameter approach as required in the WMVC Regional Supplement, with extrapolation of vegetation based on remaining vegetation, stumps and intact vegetation to the north and south. A Magellan handheld GPS unit with post-processing and sub-meter accuracy was used Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 4 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 to map the location of wetland flags and data plots. The wetland sits in a defined depression with a retaining wall on the east side along SR 167 and a fill prism on the west side. 3.2.3.1 Hydrology The presence of wetland hydrology was determined by evaluating a variety of direct and indirect indicators. In addition to direct hydrologic measurements, hydrologic indicators can be used to infer satisfaction of the wetland hydrology criterion. Field indicators of wetland hydrology listed in the Regional Supplement include, but are not limited to, visual observation of inundation or saturation, sediment deposition, hydric soil characteristics, watermarks, drift lines, oxidation around living roots and rhizomes, and water-stained leaves. To satisfy the hydrology criterion for wetlands, soils need to be inundated or saturated to the surface for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. The site visits occurred at the end of, or just outside the growing season for this area. Primary hydrologic indicators in the form of saturated soils, high groundwater and inundation were present at the time of the site visit. 3.2.3.2 Soils The presence of hydric soils was determined consistent with the WMVC Regional Supplement and current regulatory guidance. The supplement includes hydric soil indicators specific to this region. Soils were evaluated based on these indicators. The extent and depth of historic fill generally defines the current wetland boundary with the wetland extending into the edge of the fill. Fill material was a mix of silty, sandy, gravelly material with varying types of debris. 3.2.3.3 Vegetation No vegetation was present on the upland areas at the time of the site visit and while upland areas appeared to have recently been graded during the removal of vehicles, it does not appear any vegetation had been previously present based on historic aerials. The vegetation in the wetland had recently been cleared, removing all the trees and most of the shrubs. Stumps were still present along with a few shrubs and some herbaceous vegetation. Because of this, vegetation was not a reliable indicator of the wetland/upland boundary except offsite at the north and south edges. Species identifications and taxonomic nomenclature followed the USDA Plants Database. Each species' indicator status was assigned using the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast 2016 Regional Wetland Plant List (USAC 2017). A species indicator status refers to the relative frequency with which the species occurs in jurisdictional wetlands (Appendix E). An area satisfies the hydrophytic vegetation criteria when, under normal circumstances, more than 50 percent of the dominant species from each stratum are obligate wetland (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), or facultative (FAC) species. 3.2.4 Growing Season The growing season is generally defined as the portion of the year when soil temperatures at approximately 20 inches below the soil surface are above biological zero or 5 degrees Celsius (US Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service 1985). When soil temperature data are not available, the Wetland Delineation Manual allows using the closest and best available weather station data to estimate the length of the growing season based on a 50% probability of a temperature of 28°F or higher (Environmental Laboratory 1987, USACE 2010). Using this approximation, the growing season in this region would be approximately 305 days long at least 50% of the time. Generally, this translates to the period of mid-February to mid-December. To meet the hydrology criteria at this site, soils would need to be saturated to the surface for at least 14 consecutive days during that interval. The site visits occurred at the very end of the growing season. 3.2.5 Climate King County has a predominantly temperate marine climate typical of much of the Puget Sound area. The property is in the Puget Sound lowlands climatic region. Summers are warm and relatively dry, and winters tend to be mild, but rather wet. Mean high temperatures for the Seattle Tacoma Airport (4.2miles west) range from 46°F in December and January to 76°F in July and August. Mean low temperatures range from 36°F in Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 5 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 December and January to 56°F in July and August (US Climate Normals 1912-2016). The wetland delineation occurred on December 13, 2017. Precipitation in the spring of 2017 was well above the normal range but this was followed by a very dry summer. The rainfall for the 6-month interval prior to the delineation was within the normal range. Precipitation levels are considered normal when the probability of that rainfall amount for a given month is greater than or equal to 30% either side of the mean, as displayed in the table below (Table 1). While precipitation in October and November was slightly above normal, precipitation for the interval of June through September was well below normal. There was 1.2 inches of rain for the 2 weeks in December prior to the delineation, which is somewhat low for that period. Table 1.

There is approximately 0.06 acres of wetland that extends onto the Walker property. This wetland had been mapped by WSDOT in 2004 and verified by PBS in 2007. More recent delineation and verification occurred in 2014/2015 as part of the WDOT direct connector project. The PBS mapped boundary was similar to the WSDOT previously mapped boundaries. One data plot was taken in the wetland (Plot 1) and one in the adjacent upland (Plot 2). Upland areas had no vegetation, fill material lacking hydric soil indicators, and no wetland hydrology. The upland/wetland boundary was identified primarily on the basis of wetland hydrology, hydric soil indicators and topography. The data sheets can be found in Appendix A. PBS also examined other areas of the property to make sure no other wetlands were present. A small stormwater pond is present in the southwest corner that was operational until very recently. Wetland vegetation in the form of willows and reed canary grass is present along the edge of this constructed pond. Soils are highly disturbed. It is PBS’s best professional judgement that this pond is not a jurisdictional wetland, having been constructed in fill about six years ago. Shallow ponding was also observed north of the stormwater pond in an area with highly compacted gravel soils and pavement and no vegetation. This area did not meet the definition of a wetland. 3.3.1 Soils Soils in Plot 1 consisted primarily of fill material. Two inches of recent wood chippings were present at the surface. From 2 to 6 inches, the soil was sandy fill material with a matrix color of 10YR 3/2. Between 6 and 12 inches there was similar sandy, gravelly fill that had a matrix color of 2.5Y 4/1 with 2 percent redoximorphic concentrations of 7.5YR 4/4. Below 12 inches, the matrix color remained the same with 5 percent Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 6 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 redoximorphic concentrations of 7.5YR 4/4 and 2 percent concentrations of 10YR 4/6. Some cobbles were present at depth. The soil met the criteria for Hydric Soil Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix as defined in the Corps of Engineers Regional Supplement. Organic soils were not found in the top 18 inches at the plot but appeared to be present further into the wetland. The corresponding upland soil at Plot 2 was sandy gravelly fill material that also had a matrix value of 10YR 3/2 to a depth of 10 inches with matrix colors of 10YR 4/2 and 10YR 4/1 below but no redoximorphic concentrations in the top 16 inches. Well logs from the two wells closest to the wetland did not have information on the surface soils but found moist silts and sandy soils at a depth of 5 feet. No organic soils were documented in the logs, which if historically present, were probably above 5 feet in depth. Unfortunately, the logs were not useful in trying to determine the depth of fill on the property. 3.3.2 Hydrology Wetland hydrology was present in the form of inundation up to 2 feet in depth, water in the soil test pits near the surface, and saturation. No detectable flow was observed. At the time of the site visit, no flow was observed coming into the wetland from the culvert under SR 167. Some minor surface flow was detected from the property into the wetland in the northeast corner. Hydrologic inputs appear to be primarily from high groundwater and direct precipitation. 3.3.3 Vegetation Stumps of black cottonwood and Pacific willow were observed in the wetland along with remnants of Douglas spirea, red-osier dogwood and what appears to be Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis). Himalayan blackberry was also present. Reed canary grass had about 20 percent coverage in the wetland. Wetland vegetation on the property to the north consisted of an overstory of black cottonwood, and a shrub layer of red-osier dogwood, willows, Douglas spirea and Himalayan blackberry. Reed canary grass dominated the understory with some common sedge (Carex obnupta) and horsetails. Adjacent upland vegetation also had a canopy of black cottonwood with an understory of Himalayan blackberry, reed canary grass and tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) with an occasional sword fern (Polystichum munitum). The wetland on the property to the south was dominated by willows and reed canary grass with the wetland sandwiched between the retaining wall to the east and a steep fill slope to the west. As mentioned previously no vegetation was present on the subject property west of the wetland. . 3.4 Wetland Rating and Buffers The wetland was rated using the 2014 version of the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (Hruby, 2014) as a Category III wetland. Despite the fact that the wetland was once part of the larger Panther Creek wetland to the east, it is now effectively separated and was considered a separate wetland for the purposes of rating. The culvert under SR 167 at the property is 180 feet long and at an elevation that it would only engage during very high water levels. Table 2 lists the characteristics of the wetland. Figure 5 shows the wetland boundary, data plot locations and buffers. City of Renton buffers for Category III wetlands with a habitat score of 5 to 7 are 100 feet. The wetland rates relatively high for water quality because of the urban setting and poor water quality in the vicinity, moderate for hydrology functions, and moderately low for habitat functions.

Impacts to the wetland would trigger both a City of Renton permit and a federal Army Corps of Engineers permit and review by other agencies. Impacts to buffers are regulated only at the local level. The City of Renton allows buffers to be reduced by 25 percent if the development follows certain mitigation measures which include: • The reduced buffer will function at a higher level than the standard buffer, and • The buffer has less than fifteen percent slopes and no direct or indirect, short-term or long-term, adverse impacts to regulated wetlands, and • The proposal shall rely on a site-specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon the document “Wetlands in Washington State” (Ecology Publication No. 04-06-008, April 2005) or similar approaches, and • The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science. 4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT All trees and most shrubs were cleared from Wetland A between the north and south property corners east to the SR 167 retaining wall on the WSDOT right-of-way. Clearing occurred over approximately 19,000 square feet (0.44 acres). All but approximately 2,500 square feet of wetland clearing occurred on the WSDOT right-of- way. Some of the logs were left in the wetland and other material was either piled in uplands or chipped on site. Aside from some wood chips, it did not appear that any grading or filling had occurred in the wetland, though this was difficult to determine accurately since we had not seen the site prior to disturbance and water levels in the wetland at the time of the site visit were high enough to obscure ground disturbance. It is likely that operation of equipment in or adjacent to the wetland caused some ground disturbance, though fortunately the clearing occurred at the end of an extended dry period when most of the wetland was dry. At least a dozen trees greater than 6 inches diameter were removed. Some of the stumps appeared to have been ground down to the soil surface. Because soil disturbance appears to have been limited, herbaceous vegetation is already starting to recover and many of the trees and shrubs are expected to re-sprout from root crowns. Several wetland functions have been impacted by the clearing. Despite the urban and industrialized context of the site, the wetland performs some important wetland functions. The ability of the wetland to provide water quality functions has been diminished by the loss of vegetation. The loss of vegetation structure has also greatly reduced habitat functions. The narrow strip of forest and shrubs provided a corridor for wildlife in a heavily developed landscape. The cover provided by vegetation is now gone, effectively breaking the corridor. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 8 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 5 RESTORATION PLAN 5.1 Goals and Objectives Mr. Walker is working with WSDOT on restoration of the wetland in the WSDOT right-of-way. The restoration will be completed per WSDOT specifications either by WSDOT or by Mr. Walker under WSDOT supervision. The goal of the restoration plan for the buffer will be to create a functioning buffer that protects and enhances the wetland functions through planting and control of invasives. Nearly the entire buffer was being used for junk vehicle storage with little to no native vegetation present. We are proposing a reduction in the standard buffer from 100 feet to 75 feet through enhancement of the remaining buffer to include planting of native trees, shrubs and understory vegetation. Some of the surface fill soils will be removed as part of the site clean-up effort. Placement of compost will help improve surface soil conditions and protect water quality in the wetland. 5.2 Performance Standards Table 3 shows the performance standards that will be used to measure restoration success in the buffer. Table 3. Performance Standards Thresholds Parameter Year 1 Year 3 Year 5 Survival of planted trees 100% 80% 70% Survival of planted shrubs/ferns 100% 80% 70% Plant diversity - # of native species >6 >6 >6 Percent cover invasives1 0% <10% <10% 1. Invasives include Japanese knotweed, Himalayan blackberry, and any other species listed on the King County noxious weed list. Reed canary grass is ubiquitous in this area and control to 0% is likely not feasible. 5.3 Restoration Activities 5.3.1 Fill Removal/ Grading/ Site Preparation Per WSDOT Standard Specifications 8-02.3(2), a Roadside Work Plan, Weed and Pest Control Plan and Plant Establishment Plan will be submitted to WSDOT prior to work. Plant establishment plan will include requirements outlined in 8-02.3(13). Within the 75-foot buffer some contaminated fill material will likely be removed as part of the site clean-up effort. Clean soil backfill may be placed as necessary depending on the depth of the removal. The final buffer area will be graded to provide some microtopographic relief. Large wood may be placed near the wetland edge for habitat improvement. Three inches of compost and three inches of bark or wood chip mulch will be placed within the wetland boundary in areas of heavy Reed Canary Grass infestation. No compost or bark mulch will be placed where native herbaceous plants are present. Two inches of compost will be spread throughout the wetland buffer area to improve soil conditions. If soils are or become compacted from construction activity, soil decompaction to a depth of 18 inches will be required such that a soil penetrometer can be inserted to a 12-inch depth with no more than 200 PSI of pressure using a ½-inch tip. Soil decompaction work shall be scheduled between May 1 and September 30. Weed control shall be performed in accordance with WSDOT Standard Specifications 8-02.3(3) and 8-02.3(3)A. 5.3.2 Native Plantings The restoration area has been divided into three planting zones. Zone A is the WSDOT wetland area that is will be restored per WSDOT requirements. Zone B is the wetland edge that is rarely inundated, and Zone C is the buffer zone. Zone B will receive compost and bark mulch on the WSDOT ROW and be seeded with a wetland seed mix on the Walker Property. Zone C will be seeded with an upland erosion control mix. Table 4 is the Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 9 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 planting plan and Figure 5 shows the planting zones. Planting will occur in the fall of 2018. Planting of Zone A may need to be delayed until water levels have come down far enough to allow access by the planting crews. Planting in WSDOT ROW shall occur during planting window per 8-02.3(8), October 1 – March 1. 5.3.3 Follow-up Weed Control Himalayan blackberry will be removed throughout the wetland and buffer area where present. Other species that will be removed if they appear in the restoration area include scotch broom, tansy ragwort, thistles, and any other species on the King County noxious weed list. Reed canary grass is currently present it the wetland and may spread into the buffer. Best efforts will be made to control the grass, but success of the restoration will not be dependent on control of this species. Table 4. Planting Plan for the Walker Property.

We are proposing a baseline monitoring, yearly monitoring in years 1,2 and 3 and then a final monitoring in Year 5 if needed. Monitoring may need to be continued beyond 5 years if performance standards are not being met. Once planting is complete, a Baseline Monitoring Report will be submitted to the City that includes an as-built drawing and a more detailed Monitoring Plan. The as- built report will document any grading and site preparation activities, as well as the new plantings. Specific monitoring protocol will be provided in the Baseline Monitoring Report. Once approved by the City, this plan will form the basis for evaluating the success of the critical area restoration. During the first two years, all planted stock will be replaced either in kind or with another approved native species if diseased, dead or dying. Weeding and removal of invasives will need to occur at least twice a year during the monitoring period. Native volunteers will not be removed. Monitoring will occur near the end of the growing season to document vigor and survival of planted stock. Reports will be due to the City before the end of each calendar year in Years 1, 2, 3, and 5. The monitoring report will include the following basic information: • A tally of planted trees and shrubs in each plot to identify mortality or poor vigor. • Estimates of native species cover by species • Vigor and mortality of planted stock • Percent cover of invasive weed species • Assessment of other non-natives to determine if control is needed • Photographs at established photo points • Recommended contingency measures to replace mortality or control weeds. • Observations on the overall status of the restoration area and any unauthorized activities. A total of 6 10-foot radius circular plots will be established throughout the buffer restoration to evaluate percent cover. The plot centers will be marked with a piece of rebar and flagging. Figure 6 shows approximate locations of photo points and plots. The locations may be modified during baseline monitoring. Monitoring of Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 11 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41482.000 the WSDOT property will be done for a 3-year period according to WSDOT specifications. Once Completion of Initial Planting has been granted per 8-02.3(12), site reviews every 2-3 months will be required at a minimum with Contractor and WSDOT Engineer and Inspector. 5.5 Contingency Measures o Contingency measures will be triggered if the performance standard thresholds are not being met as documented during the yearly monitoring. All planted stock mortality in the first year will be replaced either in-kind or with a replacement species approved by the wetland biologist. Some species substitutions may be needed if the original species is not performing well. Any replacement plantings will occur either in the fall or spring. Additional weed control will be triggered if invasive species become established that threaten the success of the restoration. Weed control shall be performed in accordance with WSDOT Standard Specifications 8-02.3(3) and 8-02.3(3)A. Best efforts will be made to control encroachment of Reed Canary grass from the wetland north and south of the planting area. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E.

TAX PARCEL #302305-906 A. OVERVIEW The subject property is composed of 5.65 acres (246,114 square feet) of commercially developed property located at 3400 East Valley Road, Renton, Washington. The King County Assessor’s Office lists the subject property as Tax Parcel #302305-9067. Based on the review of aerial photos, Polk Street Directories, knowledgeable individuals, and information obtained from the King County Assessor's Office, it appears that for approximately 64 years the subject property has been primarily occupied by an automotive wrecking yard and/or radiator shop. All automobile wrecking yard and/or radiator shop related operations have ceased on the subject property. All disabled vehicles, automotive parts, storage trailers and related equipment have been removed from the property. Currently the subject property and the on-site building are unoccupied. Recent environmental investigations of the surface and shallow subsurface soils on the subject property have confirmed the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons, and/or volatile organic compounds at levels exceeding MTCA Method A Clean Up Levels for Industrial Properties. Primarily the adversely impacted soils are present at depths of 2 feet below ground surface (b.g.s.) or less on most of the property. The contaminated soils plume extends to greater depths on selected portions of the property. Initial groundwater samples obtained, using a truck mounted sampling probe, from selected locations on the subject property confirmed the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds and/or MTCA 5 Metals at MTCA Method A Clean Up Levels for Industrial Properties. A total of eight (8) groundwater monitoring wells were installed at selected locations throughout the subject property using a truck mounted rotary auger drill rig operated by Licensed Resource Protection Well Drillers. Discreet groundwater samples were obtained from the groundwater monitoring wells on two (2) seasonal groundwater monitoring events. Laboratory analyses results for the discreet groundwater samples report no presence of the contaminants of concern at levels exceeding MTCA Method A Clean Up Levels for Industrial Properties. RECEIVED 06/29/2018 amorganroth PLANNING DIVISION 2 Based on groundwater elevation measurements obtained in the dryer season (lower groundwater elevations) the direction of groundwater flow is to the west, based on the elevations obtained during the wetter season (higher groundwater elevation) the direction of groundwater was to the northwest. Refer to Figures 1A and 1B for the Groundwater Elevation Maps. The purpose of the proposed remedial and corrective actions project is to excavate and remove all on-site soils that are adversely impacted by the contaminants of concern and to monitor the positive impacts of these actions on the groundwater and the environmental integrity of the subject property. Any solid waste debris encountered during the excavation and removal of petroleum and/or VOCs contaminated soils will be transported off-site to an appropriate off-site disposal facility. Summary of Work: B. REQUIRED PERMITS / APPROVALS  SEPA Issuance  NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit  City of Renton Demolition Permit  City of Renton Civil Construction Permit (Clear and Grade & TESC Only) Prior to the commencement of activities on selected portions of the subject property/site, the above noted permits will be obtained.

All contaminated soils (levels exceeding applicable cleanup levels) will be properly loaded and properly transported to either Waste Management’s Duwamish Reload Facility in Seattle or Republic Services facility in Seattle using 3 dump trucks. All soils will be transported under a properly issued manifest/waste disposal authorization. d. Once a work area is determined to be free of contamination the work area will be restored to existing grade to prevent re-contamination. Trucks will haul in clean structural material to fill the void. 8. The contractor will move sequentially through the entire property. 9. Paving materials that are encountered will be demolished and hauled to a local recycling facility. 10. The wetland buffer will be established with bioretention soil and hydroseeding to minimize growth of noxious weeds. 11. The contractor will enter the voluntary cleanup program. 12. No Further Action (NFA) letter will be requested. D. EQUIPMENT Conventional construction equipment will be used to conduct the site cleanup. An excavator and dump trucks are the primary equipment that will be used. It is anticipated that several trucks per day will be entering and exiting the site to haul off construction debris and import clean structural fill. Anticipate using the following: 2 – Case 160 (35000 lb) Excavators 1 – Case 580 K Excavator 1 – Midsize Dozer 1 – Front End Loader Dump Trucks with PUP trailers (Number depends on availability) Associated Water Pumps and Hoses Above Ground Temporary Water Storage Tank E. TOXICS CLEANUP PLAN 1. Demolition and removal of an approximately 4,000 square foot metal warehouse building. Prior to demolition an asbestos survey and/or abatement project will be performed on the building. All metal demolition debris will be transported to an appropriate off-site facility for recycling as scrap metal. 2. Excavation and removal of all reasonably accessible surface and subsurface soils containing total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or MTCA 5 Metals at levels that exceed MTCA Method A Clean Up Levels for Industrial Properties. 3. All excavated soils will be temporarily stockpiled on-site. All stockpiled soils will be properly tarped as necessary. 4. All soils containing the contaminants of concern at levels exceeding applicable cleanup levels will be properly loaded and properly transported to either Waste Management’s Duwamish Reload Facility in Seattle or Republic Services facility in Seattle using dump trucks. All soils will be transported under a properly issued manifest/waste disposal authorization. 4 5. It is anticipated that 8,500 + cubic yards (11,900 + tons) of contaminates of concern contaminated soils will be excavated, removed, and transported to the designated off-site disposal facility. Currently, it is anticipated that the remedial excavation area will be extended to all of the perimeters of the subject property. 6. An appropriate number of confirmation soil samples will be obtained from the completed remedial excavation floor and sidewalls on a periodic and regular basis as per applicable guidelines. 7. All confirmation soil samples will be analyzed for the presence of gasoline range TPH using method NWTPH-Gx and VOCs using method 8260, diesel fuel and lube oil range TPH using method NWTPH-Dx/Dx Extended, and MTCA 5 Metals using EPA method 6020. 8. EPA Method 5035 sampling protocols will be followed when sampling soils to be analyzed for VOCs. NOTE: All laboratory analyses will be done on a 48-hour expedited turn around basis to facilitate prompt characterization of existing on-site conditions so that appropriate corrective and/or constructive actions can proceed immediately. 9. The excavation will be backfilled using suitable imported structural fill materials that will be mechanically compacted for stability. Compaction testing will be performed by the project’s Geotechnical Engineer. Backfill Materials Documents will be submitted to the City of Renton for review before any of the materials are transported on-site. 10. All groundwater monitoring wells located within the remedial excavation areas, that are in areas will be abandoned as per applicable regulations/guidelines. 11.

Stemen Vice President Construction Mitigation Description Walker Auto Dealership 1 2180100.10 Walker Auto Dealership 3400 East Valley Road Renton, WA 98057 Construction Mitigation Description April 30, 2018 Project No. 2180100.10 The Walker Auto Dealership project site is a proposed commercial development project located at 3400 East Valley Road in the City of Renton, King County, Washington. The project site is comprised of parcel 3023059067. The size of these parcels is 5.65 acres. Site Grading, buffer remediation, and contamination remediation activities are scheduled to begin in June of 2018 and end in the Fall of 2018. Construction of the dealership building and associated site improvements will begin in the Spring of 2019 and end in the Fall of 2019. Construction activities will take place on weekdays from 7 am to 6 pm, or as otherwise permitted by Renton Municipal Code. These restricted construction hours will help minimize noise impacts from construction activities. Construction vehicles will access the site via East Valley Road. Construction vehicles traveling to the site from northbound State Route 167 will take the South 18th Street/SW 43rd Street exit, turn left onto South 180th Street, turn right onto East Valle y Road, and travel north until reaching the project site. Construction vehicles traveling to the site from southbound State Route 167 will take the SW 43rd Street/ East Valley Road exit, turn right onto East Valley Road, and travel north until reaching th e project site. The source of fill material or the destination of construction waste material is not known at this point. Erosion control measures expected to be implemented include watering to control dust, a construction entrance to reduce transport of sediment, silt fence and inlet protection devices to prevent sediment from leaving the project site, and street sweeping to prevent tracking of sediment onto adjacent surfaces. Installation of the frontage sidewalk and any utility connections in the road way will require temporary traffic control. It is anticipated that a lane shift would be used for this work. A preliminary traffic control plan is included with this description. The contractor will provide a specific traffic control plan as required.

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of HHJ Architects, PLLC, and their consultants, for specific application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice. 1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site consists of an irregularly-shaped, 5.65-acre, commercially-zoned parcel located towards the south end of the city limits of Renton, Washington, as shown on the enclosed Topographic and Location Map (Figure 1). The subject property is situated between East Valley Road and SR-167 in a heavily developed commercial area. The project site has previously been developed, being utilized as an auto junk yard. A 4,000-sf warehouse building and 1,160 sf radiator shop are still present towards the northwest corner of the project area, as well as paved parking facilities. The remainder of the site had been graded to accommodate storage of vehicles and auto parts, though these have previously been removed from the site. During this initial development of the site, the wetland area along the west side of SR-167 had been severely damaged, and in many cases had been filled. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 2 of 15 It is our understanding that improvement plans involve the demolition of existing site features and the repurposing of the property as an auto dealership. This will involve the construction of a new 50,000 to 60,000 sf two-story, wood-framed structure towards the center of the property, in addition to extensive pavements surrounding this facility. The new structure will contain a showroom/sales area, business offices, parts sales and storage, service and shop regions, storage and other supportive areas. In addition to the aforementioned improvements, the subject development will also entail the restoration of the existing wetland which was damaged by previous actions at the east side of the site along SR-167, and the establishment and maintaining of a new 75-foot buffer area from this wetland. Environmental cleanup will be performed in conjunction with new construction as appropriate, based on recommendations provided by Kane Environmental. 2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on March 16, 2018. Our exploration and evaluation program comprised the following elements: • Surface reconnaissance of the site; • Two auger boring explorations (designated B-1 and B-2), advanced on March 16, 2016; and • A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature. Table 1 summarizes the approximate functional locations and termination depths of our subsurface explorations, and Figure 2 depicts their approximate relative locations. The following sections describe the procedures used for excavation of test pits. TABLE 1 APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS AND DEPTHS OF EXPLORATIONS Exploration Functional Location Termination Depth (feet) B-1 B-2 East end of proposed building footprint Southwest corner of proposed building footprint 61½ 51½ The specific number and locations of our explorations were selected in relation to the existing site features, under the constraints of surface access, underground utility conflicts, and budget considerations. It should be realized that the explorations performed and utilized for this eva luation reveal subsurface conditions only at discrete locations across the project site and that actual conditions in other areas could vary. Furthermore, the nature and extent of any such variations would not become evident until additional explorations are performed or until construction activities have begun. If significant variations are observed at that time, we may need to modify our conclusions and recommendations contained in this report to reflect the actual site conditions.

Page 3 of 15 2.1 Auger Boring Procedures Our exploratory borings were advanced through the soil with a hollow-stem auger, using a truck- mounted drill rig, operated by an independent drilling firm working under subcontract to MGI. An engineering geologist from our firm continuously observed the boring, logged the subsurface conditions, and collected representative soil samples. All samples were stored in watertight containers and later transported to a laboratory for further visual examination and testing. After the borings were completed, the borehole was backfilled in accordance with state requirements. Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 2½ to 5-foot depth intervals by means of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM:D-1586), or using a large split-spoon sampler. This testing and sampling procedure consists of driving a standard 2-inch-outside-diameter steel split-spoon sampler 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows struck during the final 12 inches is recorded on the boring log. If a total of 50 blows are struck within any 6 -inch interval, the driving is stopped, and the blow count is recorded as 50 blows for the actual penetration distance. The resulting blow count values indicate the relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of cohesive soils. The soils were classified visually in general accordance with the system described in Figure A-1, which includes a key to our exploration logs. Summary logs of our explorations are included as Figures A-2 and A-3. The enclosed boring logs describe the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in the borings, based primarily on our field classifications and supported by our subsequent laboratory examination and testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our logs indicate the average contact depth. Where a soil type changed between sample intervals, we inferred the contact depth. Our logs also graphically indicate the blow count, sample type, sample number, and approximate depth of each soil sample obtained from the boring, as well as any laboratory tests performed on these soil samples. If any groundwater was encountered in the borehole, the approximate groundwater depth is depicted on the boring logs. Groundwater depth estimates are typically based on the moisture content of soil samples, the wetted height on the drilling rods, and the water level measured in the borehole after the auger has been extracted. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations regarding, surface, soil, groundwater, and infiltration conditions. 3.1 Surface Conditions As previously indicated, the project site consists of an irregularly-shaped, 5.65-acre, commercially-zoned parcel, located towards the south end of the city limits of Renton, between East Valley Road and SR-167 in a heavily developed commercial area. The site is bound on the north by East Valley RV & Boat Storage, on the south by the Brickman Group storage yard, on the west by East Valley Road, and on the east by SR 167. The northwest corner of the project area retains an existing 4,000-sf warehouse building, a 1,160-sf radiator shop, and asphalt pavement parking facilities. The aforementioned structures were originally constructed in 1996. The remainder of the site had been graded and resurfaced with recycled concrete, to serve as a storage HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 4 of 15 location for automobile parts and debris. The entirety of the site is enclosed by a chain-link fence, with access to the interior being gained through a locked gate. Topographically, the site is relatively level with minimal grade changes being observed over its extent. Purportedly, the eastern margin of the site is a historic wetland region, which had been infringed upon by past developments. This portion of the site served as part of the larger basin for Panther Creek, which travels north and south of the project area along the east side of SR 167. No vegetation was observed on site outside of scattered weeds which have taken root within the existing gravel surfacing. No hydrological features were observed on site, such as seeps, springs, ponds and streams. Scattered ponding was observed across the southwest portion of the site at the time of our site visit. We believe that this is seasonal in nature, and not indicative of hydrogeological conditions onsite. 3.2 Soil Conditions We observed subsurface conditions through the advancement of two geotechnical borings within the footprint of the 50,000 to 60,000-sf structure proposed towards the interior of the site. These explorations extended 51½ to 61½ feet below existing grade, respectively, encountering relatively consistent subgrade conditions. Approximately 5 feet of fill soils were observed at surface elevations in both of our explorations, ranging in composition from recycled concrete to gravelly silty sand. Both of these material types were encountered in a medium dense to dense in situ condition. Underlying these fill soils, we encountered native, alluvial deposits. With depth, alluvial deposits encountered onsite exhibited alternating layers of poorly consolidated fine-grained soils, and moderately consolidated granular soils; highlighting the shifting, localized depositional environment across the project area. The uppermost fine-grained zone, observed immediately below existing fill material, contained a significant organic component. Both of our explorations encountered, below a depth of ± 31 feet, through their respective termination depths, moderately dense, fine silty sand. In the Geologic Map of the Tacoma 1:100,000-scale Quadrangle, as prepared by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Division of Geology and Earth Resources (WSDNR) (2015), the project site is mapped as containing Qp, or peat, which directly overlies Qa, or Quaternary Alluvium. Peat, as per this publication, is described as loose, locally very soft and wet, organic and organic rich sediment, including muck, silt and clay. Alluvium, as it pertains to the geographic setting of the project area, refers to sedimentary deposits associated with the flood plains of the Duwamish/Green Rivers, and are typically comprised of loose, stratified to massively bedded fluvial silt, sand, and gravel that is typically, well rounded and moderately to well sorted and locally includes sandy to silty estuarine deposits. Our field observations and subsurface explorations generally conform with the geologic classification of the site performed by the WSDNR. The enclosed exploration logs (Appendix A) provide a detailed description of the soil strata encountered in our subsurface explorations. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 5 of 15 3.3 Groundwater Conditions At the time of our reconnaissance and subsurface explorations (March 16, 2018), we encountered groundwater seepage at a depth which ranged from 8 to 15 feet below existing grade . Groundwater levels were generally higher towards the southwest corner of the project area, where significant surficial ponding was observed at the time of our site visit. Given the fact that our explorations were performed within what is generally considered the rainy season (October 1st through April 30th), we do not anticipate that groundwater will rise much higher than that which we observed. Groundwater levels will fluctuate with localized geology and precipitation. 3.4 Seismic Conditions Based on our analysis of subsurface exploration logs and our review of published geologic maps, we interpret the onsite soil conditions to generally correspond with site class E, as defined by Table 20.3-1 in ASCE 7, per the 2015 International Building Code (IBC). Using 2015 IBC information on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III seismic parameters for the site are as follows: Ss = 1.418 g SMS = 1.276 g SDS = 0.851 g S1 = 0.528 g SM1 = 1.266 g SD1 = 0.844 g Using the 2015 IBC information, MCER Response Spectrum Graph on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 1.28 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 1.27 g. The Design Response Spectrum Graph from the same website, using the same IBC information and Risk Category, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 0.85 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.84 g. 3.5 Liquefaction Potential Liquefaction is a sudden increase in pore water pressure and a sudden loss of soil shear strength caused by shear strains, as could result from an earthquake. Research has shown that saturated, loose, fine to medium sands with a fines (silt and clay) content less than about 20 percent are most susceptible to liquefaction. Subsurface explorations performed for this project indicate that the site is underlain by poorly consolidated alluvial soils, ranging in composition from a fine sand with silt to sandy silt; with intermittent layers or lenses of peat. Given the geologic/hydrogeolgic conditions of the project area, we interpret this site as having a moderate susceptibility to liquefaction. In Section 4.2 of this report, we provide recommendations for the preparation of the foundation subgrade which would help mitigate much of this risk, however, during a large-scale seismic event, some degree of liquefaction and related post-construction settlement should be anticipated. We recommend that the structure be designed to prevent catastrophic collapse during a seismic event. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 6 of 15 3.6 Infiltration Conditions As indicated in the Soil and Groundwater Conditions sections of this report, the site is underlain by fill material and poorly-drained, slowly permeable, alluvial soils, with a shallow groundwater table. As such, we do not interpret infiltration as being feasible for this project, and recommend that site produced stormwater be diverted to an existing storm system, managed through detention, or other appropriate means. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS It is our understanding that improvement plans involve the demolition of existing site features and the repurposing of the property as an auto dealership. This will involve the constructi on of a new 50,000 to 60,000 sf two-story, wood-framed structure towards the center of the property, in addition to extensive pavements surrounding this facility. The new structure will contain a showroom/sales area, business offices, parts sales and storage, service and shop regions, storage and other supportive areas. In addition to the aforementioned improvements, the subject development will also entail the restoration of the existing wetland which was damaged by previous actions at the east side of the site along SR-167, and the establishment and maintaining of a new 75-foot buffer area from this wetland. Environmental cleanup will be performed in conjunction with new construction as appropriate, based on recommendations provided by Kane Environmental. We offer the following recommendations: • Feasibility: Based on our field explorations, research, and evaluations, the proposed structures and pavements appear feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. • Foundation Options: In order to address soil and liquefaction conditions within the proposed expansion area and limit settlement of the addition and new settlement of the existing structure, we recommend that all foundation elements be supported by augercast piles. Recommendations for augercast pile foundations are presented in Section 4.2. • Floor Options: In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. However, there is a potential that liquefaction settlement of the underlying site soils could cause cracking and damage to soil-supported slab-on-grade floors during the design earthquake. If the potential for damage is not acceptable, we recommend that floor slabs be structurally supported. If used, soil supported floor sections should bear on medium dense or denser native soils or on properly compacted structural fill that extends down to medium dense or denser native soil. Recommendations for slab-on-grade floors are included in Section 4.3. Fill underlying floor slabs should be compacted to 95 percent (ASTM:D-1557). • Pavement: We recommend a conventional pavement section comprised of asphalt concrete over crushed rock base course over properly prepared subgrade. Because soft soils immediately underlie proposed pavements, subgrade preparation HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 7 of 15 generally should consist of an over-excavation of two feet, compaction of exposed subgrade soils, then replacement with a suitable structural fill. Compaction should be done in accordance with the structural fill recommendations presented in Section 4.6. All soil subgrades below 24 inches should be thoroughly compacted, then proof- rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to an additional maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. The following sections of this report present our specific geotechnical conclusions and recommendations concerning site preparation, spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, pavement, and structural fill. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications and Standard Plans cited herein refer to WSDOT publications M41-10, Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, and M21 -01, Standard Plans for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, respectively. 4.1 Site Preparation Preparation of the project site should involve erosion control, temporary drainage, clearing, stripping, excavations, cutting, subgrade compaction, and filling. Erosion Control: Before new construction begins, an appropriate erosion control system should be installed. This system should collect and filter all surface water runoff through silt fencing. We anticipate a system of berms and drainage ditches around construction areas will provide an adequate collection system. Silt fencing fabric should meet the requirements of WSDOT Standard Specification 9-33.2 Table 3. In addition, silt fencing should embed a minimum of 6 inches below existing grade. An erosion control system requires occasional observation and maintenance. Specifically, holes in the filter and areas where the filter has shifted above ground surface should be replaced or repaired as soon as they are identified. Temporary Drainage: We recommend intercepting and diverting any potential sources of surface or near-surface water within the construction zones before stripping begins. Because the selection of an appropriate drainage system will depend on the water quantity, season, weather conditions, construction sequence, and contractor's methods, final decisions regarding drainage systems are best made in the field at the time of construction. Based on our current understanding of the construction plans, surface and subsurface conditions, we anticipate that curbs, berms, or ditches placed around the work areas will adequately intercept surface water runoff. Clearing and Stripping: After surface and near-surface water sources have been controlled, sod, topsoil, and root-rich soil should be stripped from the site. Our explorations and field observations indicate that no significant organic horizon is observed at surface elevations across the project area. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 8 of 15 Site Excavations: Based on our explorations, we expect that excavations will encounter moderately consolidated fill soils at shallow elevations, and poorly consolidated alluvial soils immediately beneath this material, both of which can be readily excavated using standard excavation equipment. Dewatering: Groundwater seepage was encountered in both of our subsurface explorations at a depth of 8 to 15 feet below existing grade, with higher groundwater tables being observed across regions exhibiting surficial ponding. If groundwater is encountered in excavations above the water table, or slightly below, we anticipate that an internal system of ditches, sumpholes, and pumps will be adequate to temporarily dewater shallow excavations. For excavations significantly below the water table, we anticipate that expensive dewatering equipment, such as well points, will be required to temporarily dewater excavations. Temporary Cut Slopes: All temporary soil slopes associated with site cutting or excavations should be adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. Temporary cut slopes in site soils should be no steeper than 1½H:1V and should conform to Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) regulations. Subgrade Compaction: Exposed subgrades for the foundations of the planned structures should be compacted to a firm, unyielding state before new concrete or fill soils are placed. Any localized zones of looser granular soils observed within a subgrade should be compacted to a density commensurate with the surrounding soils. In contrast, any organic, soft, or pumping soils observed within a subgrade should be over-excavated and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. Site Filling: Our conclusions regarding the reuse of onsite soils and our comments regarding wet- weather filling are presented subsequently. Regardless of soil type, all fill should be placed and compacted according to our recommendations presented in the Structural Fill section of this report. Specifically, building pad fill soil should be compacted to a uniform density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Onsite Soils: We offer the following evaluation of these onsite soils in relation to potential use as structural fill: • Surficial Organic Soil and Organic-Rich Topsoil: Where encountered, surficial organic soils, like duff, topsoil, root-rich soil, and organic-rich fill soils are not suitable for use as structural fill under any circumstances, due to high organic content. Consequently, this material can be used only for non-structural purposes, such as in landscaping areas. • Existing Fill Material: As described in the Soil Conditions section of this report, the uppermost 5-feet of soils encountered onsite are comprised of existing fill material placed during the original site development. This material ranged in composition between recycled concrete and gravelly silty sand. These materials should be considered moderately sensitive, and reuse should be confined to periods of extended dry weather. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 9 of 15 • Alluvial Soils: Underlying existing fill material, we encountered native alluvial soils exhibiting alternating layers of poorly consolidated fine -grained soils and moderately consolidated granular soils. The uppermost fine -grained layer is the only native soils which could be feasibly reused as structural fill throughout the course of this project. This soil group contains a high organic content, is extremely moisture sensitive, and is generally encountered in an over-saturated condition. Reuse of this material should be limited to landscaping areas. Permanent Slopes: All permanent cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term raveling, sloughing, and erosion. We generally recommend that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H:1V. For all soil types, the use of flatter slopes (such as 2½H:1V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate revegetation. Slope Protection: We recommend that a permanent berm, swale, or curb be constructed along the top edge of all permanent slopes to intercept surface flow. Also, a hardy vegetative groundcover should be established as soon as feasible, to further protect the slopes from runoff water erosion. Alternatively, permanent slopes could be armored with quarry spalls or a geosynthetic erosion mat. 4.2 Augercast Piles Based on the soil conditions discussed above, we recommend that the new building be supported on augercast piles installed to a depth of 55 feet below the existing ground surface in the medium dense silty sands. The following table provides estimated allowable design capacities for 14-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch diameter augercast concrete pilings installed to the aforementioned embedment depth: TABLE 2 RECOMMENDED ALLOWABLE PILE CAPACITIES 14-INCH, 16-INCH AND 18-INCH DIAMETER AUGERCAST CONCRETE PILES Pile Diameter (inches) Depth Below Existing Ground Surface (feet) Downward Capacity (tons) Uplift Capacity (tons) 14 55 66 26 16 55 80 30 18 55 98 34 The allowable pile capacities presented above apply to all long-term live and dead loads and may be increased by one-third when considering short-term loads such as wind or seismic influence. The allowable pile capacities are based on the strength of the supporting soils for the penetrations indicated and include a factor of safety of at least 2. The allowable uplift capacities indicated for augercast piles may be used provided that a reinforcing bar is installed the entire length of the pile. This bar should be centered in the pile. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 10 of 15 Static pile settlements are expected to be essentially elastic in nature and occur as loads are applied. Total static settlement of piles constructed as recommended are not expected to exceed 1 inch, while differential static settlements between comparably loaded piles are not expected to exceed about 50 percent of this value. The pile capacities provided above apply to single piles. If piles within groups are spaced at least three pile diameters on center, no reduction for pile group action need be made. The structural characteristics of the pile materials and allowable internal stresses may impose more stringent limitations and should be evaluated by the structural engineer. Lateral loadings due to wind or seismic forces can be resisted by uplift or lateral loading on the piles, or lateral soil resistance of the pile cap. The manner in which these loads are transferred into the piles will be a function of the design of the foundation system. Passive soil resistance of the pile cap may be computed using an equivalent fluid density of 220 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for a level backfill surface, provided the backfill around the pile cap is compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-1557. This value incorporates a factor of safety of about 1.5. Lateral capacities for augercast piling are dependent upon the characteristics of the reinforcing steel and the coefficient of subgrade reaction for the surrounding soils. We recommend that the pile stiffness, T, be computed using the formula T = (EI/f)1/5 where E equals the pile modulus of elasticity, I equals the pile moment of inertia, and f equals the soil coefficient of subgrade reaction. A value of 6 tcf (tons per cubic foot) should be used for f. For the recommended penetration, the maximum moment for piles fixed against rotation at the ground surface will occur at a depth equal to about 1.8 T and the magnitude of this moment, M, can be computed using the formula M = 0.25 PT where P is the lateral force applied at the ground surface. The moment will decrease to zero at a depth of about 4.5 T. The maximum pile deflection at the ground surface can be computed using the formula D = 0.93 (PT3/EI). Pile Installation: Augercast (cast-in-place) concrete piles should be installed using a continuous- flight, hollow-stem auger. As is common practice, the pile grout would be pumped under pressure through the hollow-stem as the auger is withdrawn. Reinforcing steel for bending and uplift would be placed in the fresh grout column immediately after withdrawal of the auger. No direct information regarding the capacity of augercast piles (e.g., driving resistance data) is obtained while this type of pile is being installed. Therefore, it is particularly important that the installation of augercast piles be carefully monitored by a qualified individual working under the direct supervision of a geotechnical engineer. It should be noted that the recommended pile penetration and allowable capacities presented above assumed uniform soil conditions. There may be unexpected variations in the depth and characteristics of the supporting soils across the site. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 11 of 15 Accordingly, we recommend that pile installation be monitored by a member of our staff who will observe installation procedures and evaluate the adequacy of individual pile installations. 4.3 Slab-On-Grade Floors In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. However, there is a potential that liquefaction settlement of the underlying site soils could cause cracking and damage to soil-supported slab-on-grade floors during the design earthquake. If the potential for damage is not acceptable, we recommend that floor slabs be structurally supported. We offer the following comments and recommendations concerning soil-supported slab-on- grade floors. Floor Subbase: We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor subgrades to a minimum depth of 2 feet, then placement of properly compacted structural fill as a floor subbase. If floor construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbase and native soils, will be necessary. All subbase fill should be compacted to a density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Capillary Break and Vapor Barrier: To retard the upward wicking of moisture beneath the floor slab, we recommend that a capillary break be placed over the subgrade. Ideally, this capillary break would consist of a 4-inch-thick layer of pea gravel or other clean, uniform, well-rounded gravel, such as “Gravel Backfill for Drains” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.12(4), but clean angular gravel can be used if it adequately prevents capillary wicking. In addition, a layer of plastic sheeting (such as Crosstuff, Visqueen, or Moistop) should be placed over the capillary break to serve as a vapor barrier. During subsequent casting of the concrete slab, the contractor should exercise care to avoid puncturing this vapor barrier. Vertical Deflections: Due to elastic compression of subgrades, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can deflect downwards when vertical loads are applied. In our opinion, a subgrade reaction modulus of 140 pounds per cubic inch can be used to estimate such deflections. 4.4 Drainage Systems In our opinion, the proposed expansion area should be provided with a permanent drainage system to reduce the risk of future moisture problems. We offer the following recommendations and comments for drainage design and construction purposes. Perimeter Drains: We recommend that the structure be encircled with a perimeter drain system to collect seepage water. This drain should consist of a 4-inch-diameter perforated pipe within an envelope of pea gravel or washed rock, extending at least 6 inches on all sides of the pipe, and the gravel envelope should be wrapped with filter fabric to reduce the migration of fines from the surrounding soils. Ideally, the drain invert would be installed no more than 8 inches above the base of the perimeter footings. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 12 of 15 Subfloor Drains: We recommend that subfloor drains be included beneath the new building. These subfloor drains should consist of 4-inch-diameter perforated pipes surrounded by at least 6 inches of pea gravel and enveloped with filter fabric. A pattern of parallel pipes spaced no more than 20 feet apart and having inverts located about 12 inches below the capillary break layer would be appropriate, in our opinion. Discharge Considerations: If possible, all perimeter drains should discharge to a sewer system or other suitable location by gravity flow. Check valves should be installed along any drainpipes that discharge to a sewer system to prevent sewage backflow into the drain system. If gravity flow is not feasible, a pump system is recommended to discharge any water that enters the drainage system. Runoff Water: Roof-runoff and surface-runoff water should not discharge into the perimeter drain system. Instead, these sources should discharge into separate tightline pipes and be routed away from the building to a storm drain or other appropriate location. Grading and Capping: Final site grades should slope downward away from the buildings so that runoff water will flow by gravity to suitable collection points, rather than ponding near the building. Ideally, the area surrounding the building would be capped with concrete, asphalt, or low-permeability (silty) soils to minimize or preclude surface-water infiltration. 4.5 Asphalt Pavement Since asphalt pavements will be expanded during the course of the proposed development, we offer the following comments and recommendations for pavement design and construction. Subgrade Preparation: After removal of any organics underlying pavements, we recommend a conventional pavement section comprised of an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed rock base course over a properly prepared (compacted) subgrade or a granular subbase. Given the relative loose/soft soil conditions observed across the project area, we recommend the over- excavation of 24 inches of the existing subgrade material underlying the new pavement sections, and replacement with a suitable structural fill subbase. Given the extent of the proposed paving operation and corresponding earthwork activities, we recommend limiting the subgrade preparation to times of dry weather. All soil subgrades below 24 inches should be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to an additional maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. All structural fill should be compacted according to our recommendations given in the Structural Fill section. Specifically, the upper 2 feet of soils underlying pavement section should be compacted to at least 95 percent (based on ASTM D-1557), and all soils below 2 feet should be compacted to at least 90 percent. Pavement Materials: For the base course, we recommend using imported crushed rock, such as "Crushed Surfacing Top Course” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.9(3). If a subbase HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 13 of 15 course is needed, we recommend using imported, clean, well-graded sand and gravel such as “Ballast” or “Gravel Borrow” per WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(1) and 9-03.14, respectively. Conventional Asphalt Sections: A conventional pavement section typically comprises an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed rock base course. We recommend using the following conventional pavement sections: Minimum Thickness Pavement Course Automobile Parking Area Driveways Areas Subject to Frequent Truck Traffic Asphalt Concrete Pavement 2 inches 3 inches 4 inches Crushed Rock Base 4 inches 6 inches 6 inches Granular Fill Subbase (if needed) 12 inches 24 inches 24 inches Compaction and Observation: All subbase and base course material should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557), and all asphalt concrete should be compacted to at least 92 percent of the Rice value (ASTM D-2041). We recommend that an MGI representative be retained to observe the compaction of each course before any overlying layer is placed. For the subbase and pavement course, compaction is best observed by means of frequent density testing. For the base course, methodology observations and hand-probing are more appropriate than density testing. Pavement Life and Maintenance: No asphalt pavement is maintenance-free. The above described pavement sections present our minimum recommendations for an average level of performan ce during a 20-year design life, therefore, an average level of maintenance will likely be required. Furthermore, a 20-year pavement life typically assumes that an overlay will be placed after about 10 years. Thicker asphalt and/or thicker base and subbase courses would offer better long-term performance, but would cost more initially; thinner courses would be more susceptible to “alligator” cracking and other failure modes. As such, pavement design can be considered a compromise between a high initial cost and low maintenance costs versus a low initial cost and higher maintenance costs. 4.6 Structural Fill The term "structural fill" refers to any material placed under foundations, retaining walls, slab - on-grade floors, sidewalks, pavements, and other structures. Our comments, conclusions, and recommendations concerning structural fill are presented in the following paragraphs. Materials: Typical structural fill materials include clean sand, gravel, pea gravel, washed rock, crushed rock, well-graded mixtures of sand and gravel (commonly called "gravel borrow" or "pit- run"), and miscellaneous mixtures of silt, sand, and gravel. Recycled asphalt, concrete, and glass, which are derived from pulverizing the parent materials, are also potentially useful as structural fill in certain applications. Utilizing recycled content may require approval from the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department for placement in an aquifer recharge area. Soils used for HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 14 of 15 structural fill should not contain any organic matter or debris, nor any individual particles greater than about 6 inches in diameter. Fill Placement: Clean sand, gravel, crushed rock, soil mixtures, and recycled materials should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness, and each lift should be thoroughly compacted with a mechanical compactor. Compaction Criteria: Using the Modified Proctor test (ASTM:D-1557) as a standard, we recommend that structural fill used for various onsite applications be compacted to the following minimum densities: Fill Application Minimum Compaction Slab-on-grade floor subgrade (upper 2 feet) Slab-on-grade floor subgrade (below 2 feet) Asphaltic pavement base and subbase Asphaltic pavement subgrade (upper 2 feet) Asphaltic pavement subgrade (below 2 feet) 95 percent 90 percent 95 percent 95 percent 90 percent Subgrade Observation and Compaction Testing: Regardless of material or location, all structural fill should be placed over firm, unyielding subgrades prepared in accordance with the Site Preparation section of this report. The condition of all subgrades should be observed by geotechnical personnel before filling or construction begins. Also, fill soil compaction should be verified by means of in-place density tests performed during fill placement so that adequacy of soil compaction efforts may be evaluated as earthwork progresses. Soil Moisture Considerations: The suitability of soils used for structural fill depends primarily on their grain-size distribution and moisture content when they are placed. As the "fines" content (that soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve) increases, soils become more sensitive t o small changes in moisture content. Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines (by weight) cannot be consistently compacted to a firm, unyielding condition when the moisture content is more than 2 percentage points above or below optimum. For fill placement during wet-weather site work, we recommend using "clean" fill, which refers to soils that have a fines content of 5 percent or less (by weight) based on the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 Sieve. 5.0 RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements will depend largely on proper site preparation, drainage, fill placement, and construction procedures, monitoring and testing by experienced geotechnical personnel should be considered an integral part of the construction process. Consequently, we recommend that MGI be retained to provide the following post-report services: • Review all construction plans and specifications to verify that our design criteria presented in this report have been properly integrated into the design; • Prepare a letter summarizing all review comments (if required); APPROXIMATE SITE LOCATION P.O.

The project site comprises Parcel No. 3023059067, which is 5.65 acres in size. The site is bordered to the north by East Valley Boat & RV Storage, to the east by Washington State Route (SR) 167, to the south by Bickman Group Landscaping, and to the west by East Valley Road. See Figure 1-1 for the TIR Worksheet and Figure 1-2 for a Site Location map. The site is located within the jurisdiction of the City of Renton, which has amended the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) as the 2016 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (CRSWDM). Per the CRSWDM, the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard shall be met, along with the Basic Enhanced Water Quality Treatment Menu. Existing Conditions 1.2 The site currently has a vacant, prefabricated, steel structure, while the remainder of the site is vacant. There are no existing trees on the site. A wetland is located along the east property line. This wetland was damaged by previous action at the east side of the site along SR 167. The wetland and reduced buffer will be restored by the applicant. The existing site is covered with pavement or hard packed dirt and gravel, and is impervious. There are two distinct drainage basins on the site. The larger west basin drains to the southwest corner of the site. Previously, a pumped system was used to discharge all stormwater from this basin into the public stormwater system in East Valley Road. The pump was recently removed, but stormwater still discharges to this system. The smaller east basin gently slopes to the east and drains to the existing wetland. There are no existing flow control facilities in either basin. The existing drainage patterns have been analyzed and are discussed in detail in the Level One Downstream Analysis (see Section 3.0). Post-Development Conditions 1.3 The project proposes development of the site into a new auto dealership, including removal of an existing building and construction of an approximately 64,935-square foot new building with some roof top parking. The interior space will consist of showroom/sales area, business offices, parts and storage, service and shop, storage area, and other supportive areas. Stormwater within the larger west basin will be collected in closed conveyances and treated by a proprietary (enhanced basic) stormwater treatment device prior to discharging to the public storm system in East Valley Road. Stormwater within the east basin will sheet flow into the linear bioretention cell for treatment prior to discharge to the adjacent wetland. These two basins will maintain the natural discharge points for stormwater leaving the site. See Figure 1-3 for a Drainage Basin and Site Map.

All core requirements are required for both TDAs. The larger west basin drains to the southwest corner of the site. The smaller east basin gently slopes to the east and drains to the existing wetland. Both natural discharge locations are maintained. 2.1.2 CR 2 – Offsite Analysis A preliminary downstream analysis is included in Section 3.0 below. A full Level One Downstream analysis will be performed for the final Technical Information Report. The analysis will include:  Defining and mapping the study area.  Reviewing available information on the study area.  Field inspecting the study area. 2.1.3 CR 3 – Flow Control The project is located in a Peak Flow Rate Control Standard area. This flow control standard requires the peak flow rate under developed conditions to be equal to or less than the peak flow rate under existing conditions. Flow control is discussed in further detail in Section 4.0, Flow Control and Water Quality Facility Analysis and Design. 2.1.4 CR 4 – Conveyance System The proposed conveyance system will be designed to meet the requirements outlined in Section 1.2.4 of the CRSWDM. Refer to Section 5.0 for more information. 2.1.5 CR 5 – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Onsite land disturbance will consist of clearing the site, demolition of several existing onsite buildings, and regrading of the site.

Design of these water quality facilities is discussed in Section 4.0. Preliminary Technical Information Report Walker Auto Dealership 2-2 2180100.10 2.1.9 CR 9 – Onsite Best Management Practices (BMPs) The W alker Auto Dealership project is classified as a Large Lot per Section 1.2.9.2 of the CRSWDM. The proposed project site will meet the Large Lot BMP Requirements outlined in Section 1.2.9.2.2 of the CRSWDM. Below is a discussion of the list approach for each type of surface proposed on the site. Landscape Areas  Post Construction Soil Quality and Depth will be used. Impervious Areas  Full Dispersion is not feasible because there are no existing native vegetated areas on the site.  Full Infiltration and Full Infiltration of Roof Runoff are not feasible because the existing fill and alluvial soils cannot support infiltration.  Limited Infiltration is not feasible because the existing fill and alluvial soils cannot support infiltration.  Bioretention per Onsite BMP standards is not feasible because the existing fill and alluvial soils cannot support infiltration. Note that the proposed bioretention cell has an underdrain and is not intended to infiltrate stormwater, and therefore does not meet the requirements for Onsite BMPs.  Permeable Pavement is not feasible because the existing fill and alluvial soils cannot support infiltration.  Basic Dispersion is not feasible because there are no well-established landscaped areas that can receive the runoff.  Reduced Impervious Surface Credit is not feasible for this site.  Native Growth Retention Credit and Tree Retention Credit are not feasible because there is no existing native vegetation or trees onsite.  Perforated Pipe Connection is not feasible because the existing fill and alluvial soils cannot support infiltration. 2.1.10 SR 1 – Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements To our knowledge, there are no adopted area-specific requirements that are applicable to the project site. 2.1.11 SR 2 – Flood Hazard Area Delineation Flood Insurance Rate Map 53033C0979 F, Panel 979 of 1725, was consulted for this project and shows the project site within the Zone X area, which is described as areas determined to be outside of the 500-year floodplain. Refer to Figure 2-1 of this section for the Flood Insurance Rate Map. Preliminary Technical Information Report Walker Auto Dealership 2-3 2180100.10 2.1.12 SR 3 – Flood Protection Facilities The project site does not contain, nor is it adjacent to, any existing flood protection facilities. Project improvements do not include flood protection measures. 2.1.13 SR 4 – Source Controls The proposed project is classified as a commercial site. Water quality source controls applicable to the project site shall be evaluated and applied as described in the King County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual (KCSWPPM) and Renton Municipal Code IV. 2.1.14 SR 5 – Oil Control The project is not considered a high-use site; therefore, it is not subject to oil control requirements. 2.1.15 SR 6 – Aquifer Protection Area According to the City of Renton Public Works Department Groundwater Protection Areas map, Reference 15-B of the CRSWDM, the site is not located within an aquifer protection area.

All core requirements are required for both TDAs. The larger west basin drains to the southwest corner of the site. The smaller east basin gently slopes to the east and drains to the existing wetland. Both natural discharge locations will be maintained. There are no upstream tributary areas contributing stormwater to the onsite basin area. Task 2 – Resource Review 3.2 The following resources were reviewed to determine if there are any existing or potential problems in the study area:  Adopted Basin Plans: The project lies within the Black River Water Subbasin. Requirements for the Black River Water Subbasin will be followed where applicable.  Offsite Analysis Reports: AHBL staff has not located offsite analysis reports for projects near the W alker Auto Dealership project site.  FEMA Map: FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map 53033C0979 F, Panel 979 of 1725, dated May 16, 1995 (see Figure 2-1), indicates that the project site lies outside the categorized flood zones.  City of Renton Effective FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map: The project site is not located in a Flood Hazard Zone (see Figure 3-1).  Topographic survey.  As-builts of East Valley Road and SW 34th Street.  Renton online GIS Map. Task 3 – Field Inspection 3.3 A full field inspection of both downstreams will be performed prior to final design. Task 4 – Drainage System Description and Problem Descriptions 3.4 The west basin discharges to the public storm system within East Valley Road. The entire system is within closed conveyance ranging from 36- to 60-inch pipes. This drainage discharges to Springbrook Creek at SW 34th Street, approximately 0.45 mile downstream of the site. The east basin discharges to the wetland along the east property li ne. This wetland drains to the north along the SR 167 right-of-way toward Panther Creek, approximately 0.61 mile downstream of the site. There are no known signs of flooding, overtopping, or erosion. A full field inspection of both downstreams will be performed prior to final design.

The site is mostly fully impervious. The larger west basin drains to the southwest corner of the site. The smaller east basin gently slopes to the east and drains to the existing wetland. Both natural discharge locations will be maintained. The Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) was used to model the existing site and determine peak flows. 4.1.2 Developed Site Hydrology (Part B) The west basin will maintain the natural discharge point to the west. Runoff will be collected in and conveyed to a treatment device at the southwest corner of the site before being discharged to the public storm system in East Valley Road. The east basin will maintain the natural discharge point to the east. Runoff from a portion of the parking lot will sheet flow to the linear bioretention cell. This bioretention cell will discharge via closed conveyance immediately adjacent to the wetland along the east property line. The project site is located within a Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area (see Figure 4-1). This standard requires that developed peak flows match existing flows for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year return period stormwater events. Under proposed conditions, net impervious area is planned to decrease, thus lowering peak flow rates, meeting the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard. Preliminary WWHM peak flow calculations are included as Figure 4-2. The annual peak flows and durations for the proposed site will be determined using the existing and developed surface areas shown below.

This standard requires that the proposed project site match existing peak flow rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year stormwater events (see Figure 4-1). Conveyance System Capacity Standards The onsite stormwater networks will be sized to convey and contain the 25-year peak flow and the 100-year runoff event, and may not create or aggravate a severe flooding problem or severe erosion problem, as described in Section 1.2.2 of the CRSWDM. Water Quality Treatment Menu In accordance with the 2016 CRSWDM, onsite flows will be treated to specifications provided by the Enhanced Basic Water Quality standards. The goal of this treatment menu is to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) by 80 percent and to reduce zinc concentration by 50 percent for a typical rainfall year. A bioretention cell will be used to treat runoff from the east basin before discharging to the wetland. The bioretention cell is sized to treat at least 91 percent of the WWHM influent file. A proprietary treatment unit with General Use Level Designation (GULD) approval for enhanced treatment will be used to treat stormwater from the west basin prior to discharge from the site. The unit will be sized according the GULD approval and the manufacturer’s recommen dations. Source Controls The proposed project consists of new parking and auto display and retail. Source control and erosion and sediment control measures during construction will be included in a CSWPPP to be submitted with the final engineering design. Post-construction source controls will be included in an Operation and Maintenance Plan to be submitted with the final engineering design. Oil Controls Not applicable. 4.1.4 Flow Control System (Part D) The proposed project site will have a greater percentage of pervious surface coverage than the existing site. This increase in pervious surface will decrease peak flows and satisfy the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard. WWHM calculations are provided in Figure 4-2 showing that the proposed peak flow rates are less than the existing conditions. No flow control facilities are required for either basin. Water Quality System (Part E) 4.2 In accordance with the 2016 CRSWDM, onsite flows will be treated to specifications provided by the Enhanced Basic Water Quality standards. The goal of this treatment menu is to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) by 80 percent and to reduce zinc concentration by 50 percent for a typical rainfall year. Preliminary Technical Information Report Walker Auto Dealership 4-3 2180100.10 A bioretention cell will be used to treat runoff from the east basin before discharging to the wetland. The bioretention cell is sized to treat at least 91 percent of the WWHM influent file.

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of HHJ Architects, PLLC, and their consultants, for specific application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice. 1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site consists of an irregularly-shaped, 5.65-acre, commercially-zoned parcel located towards the south end of the city limits of Renton, Washington, as shown on the enclosed Topographic and Location Map (Figure 1). The subject property is situated between East Valley Road and SR-167 in a heavily developed commercial area. The project site has previously been developed, being utilized as an auto junk yard. A 4,000-sf warehouse building and 1,160 sf radiator shop are still present towards the northwest corner of the project area, as well as paved parking facilities. The remainder of the site had been graded to accommodate storage of vehicles and auto parts, though these have previously been removed from the site. During this initial development of the site, the wetland area along the west side of SR-167 had been severely damaged, and in many cases had been filled. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 2 of 15 It is our understanding that improvement plans involve the demolition of existing site features and the repurposing of the property as an auto dealership. This will involve the construction of a new 50,000 to 60,000 sf two-story, wood-framed structure towards the center of the property, in addition to extensive pavements surrounding this facility. The new structure will contain a showroom/sales area, business offices, parts sales and storage, service and shop regions, storage and other supportive areas. In addition to the aforementioned improvements, the subject development will also entail the restoration of the existing wetland which was damaged by previous actions at the east side of the site along SR-167, and the establishment and maintaining of a new 75-foot buffer area from this wetland. Environmental cleanup will be performed in conjunction with new construction as appropriate, based on recommendations provided by Kane Environmental. 2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on March 16, 2018. Our exploration and evaluation program comprised the following elements: • Surface reconnaissance of the site; • Two auger boring explorations (designated B-1 and B-2), advanced on March 16, 2016; and • A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature. Table 1 summarizes the approximate functional locations and termination depths of our subsurface explorations, and Figure 2 depicts their approximate relative locations. The following sections describe the procedures used for excavation of test pits. TABLE 1 APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS AND DEPTHS OF EXPLORATIONS Exploration Functional Location Termination Depth (feet) B-1 B-2 East end of proposed building footprint Southwest corner of proposed building footprint 61½ 51½ The specific number and locations of our explorations were selected in relation to the existing site features, under the constraints of surface access, underground utility conflicts, and budget considerations. It should be realized that the explorations performed and utilized for this eva luation reveal subsurface conditions only at discrete locations across the project site and that actual conditions in other areas could vary. Furthermore, the nature and extent of any such variations would not become evident until additional explorations are performed or until construction activities have begun. If significant variations are observed at that time, we may need to modify our conclusions and recommendations contained in this report to reflect the actual site conditions.

Page 3 of 15 2.1 Auger Boring Procedures Our exploratory borings were advanced through the soil with a hollow-stem auger, using a truck- mounted drill rig, operated by an independent drilling firm working under subcontract to MGI. An engineering geologist from our firm continuously observed the boring, logged the subsurface conditions, and collected representative soil samples. All samples were stored in watertight containers and later transported to a laboratory for further visual examination and testing. After the borings were completed, the borehole was backfilled in accordance with state requirements. Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 2½ to 5-foot depth intervals by means of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM:D-1586), or using a large split-spoon sampler. This testing and sampling procedure consists of driving a standard 2-inch-outside-diameter steel split-spoon sampler 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows struck during the final 12 inches is recorded on the boring log. If a total of 50 blows are struck within any 6 -inch interval, the driving is stopped, and the blow count is recorded as 50 blows for the actual penetration distance. The resulting blow count values indicate the relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of cohesive soils. The soils were classified visually in general accordance with the system described in Figure A-1, which includes a key to our exploration logs. Summary logs of our explorations are included as Figures A-2 and A-3. The enclosed boring logs describe the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in the borings, based primarily on our field classifications and supported by our subsequent laboratory examination and testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our logs indicate the average contact depth. Where a soil type changed between sample intervals, we inferred the contact depth. Our logs also graphically indicate the blow count, sample type, sample number, and approximate depth of each soil sample obtained from the boring, as well as any laboratory tests performed on these soil samples. If any groundwater was encountered in the borehole, the approximate groundwater depth is depicted on the boring logs. Groundwater depth estimates are typically based on the moisture content of soil samples, the wetted height on the drilling rods, and the water level measured in the borehole after the auger has been extracted. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations regarding, surface, soil, groundwater, and infiltration conditions. 3.1 Surface Conditions As previously indicated, the project site consists of an irregularly-shaped, 5.65-acre, commercially-zoned parcel, located towards the south end of the city limits of Renton, between East Valley Road and SR-167 in a heavily developed commercial area. The site is bound on the north by East Valley RV & Boat Storage, on the south by the Brickman Group storage yard, on the west by East Valley Road, and on the east by SR 167. The northwest corner of the project area retains an existing 4,000-sf warehouse building, a 1,160-sf radiator shop, and asphalt pavement parking facilities. The aforementioned structures were originally constructed in 1996. The remainder of the site had been graded and resurfaced with recycled concrete, to serve as a storage HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 4 of 15 location for automobile parts and debris. The entirety of the site is enclosed by a chain-link fence, with access to the interior being gained through a locked gate. Topographically, the site is relatively level with minimal grade changes being observed over its extent. Purportedly, the eastern margin of the site is a historic wetland region, which had been infringed upon by past developments. This portion of the site served as part of the larger basin for Panther Creek, which travels north and south of the project area along the east side of SR 167. No vegetation was observed on site outside of scattered weeds which have taken root within the existing gravel surfacing. No hydrological features were observed on site, such as seeps, springs, ponds and streams. Scattered ponding was observed across the southwest portion of the site at the time of our site visit. We believe that this is seasonal in nature, and not indicative of hydrogeological conditions onsite. 3.2 Soil Conditions We observed subsurface conditions through the advancement of two geotechnical borings within the footprint of the 50,000 to 60,000-sf structure proposed towards the interior of the site. These explorations extended 51½ to 61½ feet below existing grade, respectively, encountering relatively consistent subgrade conditions. Approximately 5 feet of fill soils were observed at surface elevations in both of our explorations, ranging in composition from recycled concrete to gravelly silty sand. Both of these material types were encountered in a medium dense to dense in situ condition. Underlying these fill soils, we encountered native, alluvial deposits. With depth, alluvial deposits encountered onsite exhibited alternating layers of poorly consolidated fine-grained soils, and moderately consolidated granular soils; highlighting the shifting, localized depositional environment across the project area. The uppermost fine-grained zone, observed immediately below existing fill material, contained a significant organic component. Both of our explorations encountered, below a depth of ± 31 feet, through their respective termination depths, moderately dense, fine silty sand. In the Geologic Map of the Tacoma 1:100,000-scale Quadrangle, as prepared by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Division of Geology and Earth Resources (WSDNR) (2015), the project site is mapped as containing Qp, or peat, which directly overlies Qa, or Quaternary Alluvium. Peat, as per this publication, is described as loose, locally very soft and wet, organic and organic rich sediment, including muck, silt and clay. Alluvium, as it pertains to the geographic setting of the project area, refers to sedimentary deposits associated with the flood plains of the Duwamish/Green Rivers, and are typically comprised of loose, stratified to massively bedded fluvial silt, sand, and gravel that is typically, well rounded and moderately to well sorted and locally includes sandy to silty estuarine deposits. Our field observations and subsurface explorations generally conform with the geologic classification of the site performed by the WSDNR. The enclosed exploration logs (Appendix A) provide a detailed description of the soil strata encountered in our subsurface explorations. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 5 of 15 3.3 Groundwater Conditions At the time of our reconnaissance and subsurface explorations (March 16, 2018), we encountered groundwater seepage at a depth which ranged from 8 to 15 feet below existing grade . Groundwater levels were generally higher towards the southwest corner of the project area, where significant surficial ponding was observed at the time of our site visit. Given the fact that our explorations were performed within what is generally considered the rainy season (October 1st through April 30th), we do not anticipate that groundwater will rise much higher than that which we observed. Groundwater levels will fluctuate with localized geology and precipitation. 3.4 Seismic Conditions Based on our analysis of subsurface exploration logs and our review of published geologic maps, we interpret the onsite soil conditions to generally correspond with site class E, as defined by Table 20.3-1 in ASCE 7, per the 2015 International Building Code (IBC). Using 2015 IBC information on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III seismic parameters for the site are as follows: Ss = 1.418 g SMS = 1.276 g SDS = 0.851 g S1 = 0.528 g SM1 = 1.266 g SD1 = 0.844 g Using the 2015 IBC information, MCER Response Spectrum Graph on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category I/II/III, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 1.28 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 1.27 g. The Design Response Spectrum Graph from the same website, using the same IBC information and Risk Category, Sa at a period of 0.2 seconds is 0.85 g and Sa at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.84 g. 3.5 Liquefaction Potential Liquefaction is a sudden increase in pore water pressure and a sudden loss of soil shear strength caused by shear strains, as could result from an earthquake. Research has shown that saturated, loose, fine to medium sands with a fines (silt and clay) content less than about 20 percent are most susceptible to liquefaction. Subsurface explorations performed for this project indicate that the site is underlain by poorly consolidated alluvial soils, ranging in composition from a fine sand with silt to sandy silt; with intermittent layers or lenses of peat. Given the geologic/hydrogeolgic conditions of the project area, we interpret this site as having a moderate susceptibility to liquefaction. In Section 4.2 of this report, we provide recommendations for the preparation of the foundation subgrade which would help mitigate much of this risk, however, during a large-scale seismic event, some degree of liquefaction and related post-construction settlement should be anticipated. We recommend that the structure be designed to prevent catastrophic collapse during a seismic event. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 6 of 15 3.6 Infiltration Conditions As indicated in the Soil and Groundwater Conditions sections of this report, the site is underlain by fill material and poorly-drained, slowly permeable, alluvial soils, with a shallow groundwater table. As such, we do not interpret infiltration as being feasible for this project, and recommend that site produced stormwater be diverted to an existing storm system, managed through detention, or other appropriate means. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS It is our understanding that improvement plans involve the demolition of existing site features and the repurposing of the property as an auto dealership. This will involve the constructi on of a new 50,000 to 60,000 sf two-story, wood-framed structure towards the center of the property, in addition to extensive pavements surrounding this facility. The new structure will contain a showroom/sales area, business offices, parts sales and storage, service and shop regions, storage and other supportive areas. In addition to the aforementioned improvements, the subject development will also entail the restoration of the existing wetland which was damaged by previous actions at the east side of the site along SR-167, and the establishment and maintaining of a new 75-foot buffer area from this wetland. Environmental cleanup will be performed in conjunction with new construction as appropriate, based on recommendations provided by Kane Environmental. We offer the following recommendations: • Feasibility: Based on our field explorations, research, and evaluations, the proposed structures and pavements appear feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. • Foundation Options: In order to address soil and liquefaction conditions within the proposed expansion area and limit settlement of the addition and new settlement of the existing structure, we recommend that all foundation elements be supported by augercast piles. Recommendations for augercast pile foundations are presented in Section 4.2. • Floor Options: In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. However, there is a potential that liquefaction settlement of the underlying site soils could cause cracking and damage to soil-supported slab-on-grade floors during the design earthquake. If the potential for damage is not acceptable, we recommend that floor slabs be structurally supported. If used, soil supported floor sections should bear on medium dense or denser native soils or on properly compacted structural fill that extends down to medium dense or denser native soil. Recommendations for slab-on-grade floors are included in Section 4.3. Fill underlying floor slabs should be compacted to 95 percent (ASTM:D-1557). • Pavement: We recommend a conventional pavement section comprised of asphalt concrete over crushed rock base course over properly prepared subgrade. Because soft soils immediately underlie proposed pavements, subgrade preparation HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 7 of 15 generally should consist of an over-excavation of two feet, compaction of exposed subgrade soils, then replacement with a suitable structural fill. Compaction should be done in accordance with the structural fill recommendations presented in Section 4.6. All soil subgrades below 24 inches should be thoroughly compacted, then proof- rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to an additional maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. The following sections of this report present our specific geotechnical conclusions and recommendations concerning site preparation, spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, pavement, and structural fill. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications and Standard Plans cited herein refer to WSDOT publications M41-10, Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, and M21 -01, Standard Plans for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, respectively. 4.1 Site Preparation Preparation of the project site should involve erosion control, temporary drainage, clearing, stripping, excavations, cutting, subgrade compaction, and filling. Erosion Control: Before new construction begins, an appropriate erosion control system should be installed. This system should collect and filter all surface water runoff through silt fencing. We anticipate a system of berms and drainage ditches around construction areas will provide an adequate collection system. Silt fencing fabric should meet the requirements of WSDOT Standard Specification 9-33.2 Table 3. In addition, silt fencing should embed a minimum of 6 inches below existing grade. An erosion control system requires occasional observation and maintenance. Specifically, holes in the filter and areas where the filter has shifted above ground surface should be replaced or repaired as soon as they are identified. Temporary Drainage: We recommend intercepting and diverting any potential sources of surface or near-surface water within the construction zones before stripping begins. Because the selection of an appropriate drainage system will depend on the water quantity, season, weather conditions, construction sequence, and contractor's methods, final decisions regarding drainage systems are best made in the field at the time of construction. Based on our current understanding of the construction plans, surface and subsurface conditions, we anticipate that curbs, berms, or ditches placed around the work areas will adequately intercept surface water runoff. Clearing and Stripping: After surface and near-surface water sources have been controlled, sod, topsoil, and root-rich soil should be stripped from the site. Our explorations and field observations indicate that no significant organic horizon is observed at surface elevations across the project area. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 8 of 15 Site Excavations: Based on our explorations, we expect that excavations will encounter moderately consolidated fill soils at shallow elevations, and poorly consolidated alluvial soils immediately beneath this material, both of which can be readily excavated using standard excavation equipment. Dewatering: Groundwater seepage was encountered in both of our subsurface explorations at a depth of 8 to 15 feet below existing grade, with higher groundwater tables being observed across regions exhibiting surficial ponding. If groundwater is encountered in excavations above the water table, or slightly below, we anticipate that an internal system of ditches, sumpholes, and pumps will be adequate to temporarily dewater shallow excavations. For excavations significantly below the water table, we anticipate that expensive dewatering equipment, such as well points, will be required to temporarily dewater excavations. Temporary Cut Slopes: All temporary soil slopes associated with site cutting or excavations should be adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. Temporary cut slopes in site soils should be no steeper than 1½H:1V and should conform to Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) regulations. Subgrade Compaction: Exposed subgrades for the foundations of the planned structures should be compacted to a firm, unyielding state before new concrete or fill soils are placed. Any localized zones of looser granular soils observed within a subgrade should be compacted to a density commensurate with the surrounding soils. In contrast, any organic, soft, or pumping soils observed within a subgrade should be over-excavated and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. Site Filling: Our conclusions regarding the reuse of onsite soils and our comments regarding wet- weather filling are presented subsequently. Regardless of soil type, all fill should be placed and compacted according to our recommendations presented in the Structural Fill section of this report. Specifically, building pad fill soil should be compacted to a uniform density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Onsite Soils: We offer the following evaluation of these onsite soils in relation to potential use as structural fill: • Surficial Organic Soil and Organic-Rich Topsoil: Where encountered, surficial organic soils, like duff, topsoil, root-rich soil, and organic-rich fill soils are not suitable for use as structural fill under any circumstances, due to high organic content. Consequently, this material can be used only for non-structural purposes, such as in landscaping areas. • Existing Fill Material: As described in the Soil Conditions section of this report, the uppermost 5-feet of soils encountered onsite are comprised of existing fill material placed during the original site development. This material ranged in composition between recycled concrete and gravelly silty sand. These materials should be considered moderately sensitive, and reuse should be confined to periods of extended dry weather. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 9 of 15 • Alluvial Soils: Underlying existing fill material, we encountered native alluvial soils exhibiting alternating layers of poorly consolidated fine -grained soils and moderately consolidated granular soils. The uppermost fine -grained layer is the only native soils which could be feasibly reused as structural fill throughout the course of this project. This soil group contains a high organic content, is extremely moisture sensitive, and is generally encountered in an over-saturated condition. Reuse of this material should be limited to landscaping areas. Permanent Slopes: All permanent cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term raveling, sloughing, and erosion. We generally recommend that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H:1V. For all soil types, the use of flatter slopes (such as 2½H:1V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate revegetation. Slope Protection: We recommend that a permanent berm, swale, or curb be constructed along the top edge of all permanent slopes to intercept surface flow. Also, a hardy vegetative groundcover should be established as soon as feasible, to further protect the slopes from runoff water erosion. Alternatively, permanent slopes could be armored with quarry spalls or a geosynthetic erosion mat. 4.2 Augercast Piles Based on the soil conditions discussed above, we recommend that the new building be supported on augercast piles installed to a depth of 55 feet below the existing ground surface in the medium dense silty sands. The following table provides estimated allowable design capacities for 14-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch diameter augercast concrete pilings installed to the aforementioned embedment depth: TABLE 2 RECOMMENDED ALLOWABLE PILE CAPACITIES 14-INCH, 16-INCH AND 18-INCH DIAMETER AUGERCAST CONCRETE PILES Pile Diameter (inches) Depth Below Existing Ground Surface (feet) Downward Capacity (tons) Uplift Capacity (tons) 14 55 66 26 16 55 80 30 18 55 98 34 The allowable pile capacities presented above apply to all long-term live and dead loads and may be increased by one-third when considering short-term loads such as wind or seismic influence. The allowable pile capacities are based on the strength of the supporting soils for the penetrations indicated and include a factor of safety of at least 2. The allowable uplift capacities indicated for augercast piles may be used provided that a reinforcing bar is installed the entire length of the pile. This bar should be centered in the pile. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 10 of 15 Static pile settlements are expected to be essentially elastic in nature and occur as loads are applied. Total static settlement of piles constructed as recommended are not expected to exceed 1 inch, while differential static settlements between comparably loaded piles are not expected to exceed about 50 percent of this value. The pile capacities provided above apply to single piles. If piles within groups are spaced at least three pile diameters on center, no reduction for pile group action need be made. The structural characteristics of the pile materials and allowable internal stresses may impose more stringent limitations and should be evaluated by the structural engineer. Lateral loadings due to wind or seismic forces can be resisted by uplift or lateral loading on the piles, or lateral soil resistance of the pile cap. The manner in which these loads are transferred into the piles will be a function of the design of the foundation system. Passive soil resistance of the pile cap may be computed using an equivalent fluid density of 220 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for a level backfill surface, provided the backfill around the pile cap is compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-1557. This value incorporates a factor of safety of about 1.5. Lateral capacities for augercast piling are dependent upon the characteristics of the reinforcing steel and the coefficient of subgrade reaction for the surrounding soils. We recommend that the pile stiffness, T, be computed using the formula T = (EI/f)1/5 where E equals the pile modulus of elasticity, I equals the pile moment of inertia, and f equals the soil coefficient of subgrade reaction. A value of 6 tcf (tons per cubic foot) should be used for f. For the recommended penetration, the maximum moment for piles fixed against rotation at the ground surface will occur at a depth equal to about 1.8 T and the magnitude of this moment, M, can be computed using the formula M = 0.25 PT where P is the lateral force applied at the ground surface. The moment will decrease to zero at a depth of about 4.5 T. The maximum pile deflection at the ground surface can be computed using the formula D = 0.93 (PT3/EI). Pile Installation: Augercast (cast-in-place) concrete piles should be installed using a continuous- flight, hollow-stem auger. As is common practice, the pile grout would be pumped under pressure through the hollow-stem as the auger is withdrawn. Reinforcing steel for bending and uplift would be placed in the fresh grout column immediately after withdrawal of the auger. No direct information regarding the capacity of augercast piles (e.g., driving resistance data) is obtained while this type of pile is being installed. Therefore, it is particularly important that the installation of augercast piles be carefully monitored by a qualified individual working under the direct supervision of a geotechnical engineer. It should be noted that the recommended pile penetration and allowable capacities presented above assumed uniform soil conditions. There may be unexpected variations in the depth and characteristics of the supporting soils across the site. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 11 of 15 Accordingly, we recommend that pile installation be monitored by a member of our staff who will observe installation procedures and evaluate the adequacy of individual pile installations. 4.3 Slab-On-Grade Floors In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. However, there is a potential that liquefaction settlement of the underlying site soils could cause cracking and damage to soil-supported slab-on-grade floors during the design earthquake. If the potential for damage is not acceptable, we recommend that floor slabs be structurally supported. We offer the following comments and recommendations concerning soil-supported slab-on- grade floors. Floor Subbase: We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor subgrades to a minimum depth of 2 feet, then placement of properly compacted structural fill as a floor subbase. If floor construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbase and native soils, will be necessary. All subbase fill should be compacted to a density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Capillary Break and Vapor Barrier: To retard the upward wicking of moisture beneath the floor slab, we recommend that a capillary break be placed over the subgrade. Ideally, this capillary break would consist of a 4-inch-thick layer of pea gravel or other clean, uniform, well-rounded gravel, such as “Gravel Backfill for Drains” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.12(4), but clean angular gravel can be used if it adequately prevents capillary wicking. In addition, a layer of plastic sheeting (such as Crosstuff, Visqueen, or Moistop) should be placed over the capillary break to serve as a vapor barrier. During subsequent casting of the concrete slab, the contractor should exercise care to avoid puncturing this vapor barrier. Vertical Deflections: Due to elastic compression of subgrades, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can deflect downwards when vertical loads are applied. In our opinion, a subgrade reaction modulus of 140 pounds per cubic inch can be used to estimate such deflections. 4.4 Drainage Systems In our opinion, the proposed expansion area should be provided with a permanent drainage system to reduce the risk of future moisture problems. We offer the following recommendations and comments for drainage design and construction purposes. Perimeter Drains: We recommend that the structure be encircled with a perimeter drain system to collect seepage water. This drain should consist of a 4-inch-diameter perforated pipe within an envelope of pea gravel or washed rock, extending at least 6 inches on all sides of the pipe, and the gravel envelope should be wrapped with filter fabric to reduce the migration of fines from the surrounding soils. Ideally, the drain invert would be installed no more than 8 inches above the base of the perimeter footings. HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 12 of 15 Subfloor Drains: We recommend that subfloor drains be included beneath the new building. These subfloor drains should consist of 4-inch-diameter perforated pipes surrounded by at least 6 inches of pea gravel and enveloped with filter fabric. A pattern of parallel pipes spaced no more than 20 feet apart and having inverts located about 12 inches below the capillary break layer would be appropriate, in our opinion. Discharge Considerations: If possible, all perimeter drains should discharge to a sewer system or other suitable location by gravity flow. Check valves should be installed along any drainpipes that discharge to a sewer system to prevent sewage backflow into the drain system. If gravity flow is not feasible, a pump system is recommended to discharge any water that enters the drainage system. Runoff Water: Roof-runoff and surface-runoff water should not discharge into the perimeter drain system. Instead, these sources should discharge into separate tightline pipes and be routed away from the building to a storm drain or other appropriate location. Grading and Capping: Final site grades should slope downward away from the buildings so that runoff water will flow by gravity to suitable collection points, rather than ponding near the building. Ideally, the area surrounding the building would be capped with concrete, asphalt, or low-permeability (silty) soils to minimize or preclude surface-water infiltration. 4.5 Asphalt Pavement Since asphalt pavements will be expanded during the course of the proposed development, we offer the following comments and recommendations for pavement design and construction. Subgrade Preparation: After removal of any organics underlying pavements, we recommend a conventional pavement section comprised of an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed rock base course over a properly prepared (compacted) subgrade or a granular subbase. Given the relative loose/soft soil conditions observed across the project area, we recommend the over- excavation of 24 inches of the existing subgrade material underlying the new pavement sections, and replacement with a suitable structural fill subbase. Given the extent of the proposed paving operation and corresponding earthwork activities, we recommend limiting the subgrade preparation to times of dry weather. All soil subgrades below 24 inches should be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to an additional maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. All structural fill should be compacted according to our recommendations given in the Structural Fill section. Specifically, the upper 2 feet of soils underlying pavement section should be compacted to at least 95 percent (based on ASTM D-1557), and all soils below 2 feet should be compacted to at least 90 percent. Pavement Materials: For the base course, we recommend using imported crushed rock, such as "Crushed Surfacing Top Course” per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.9(3). If a subbase HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 13 of 15 course is needed, we recommend using imported, clean, well-graded sand and gravel such as “Ballast” or “Gravel Borrow” per WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(1) and 9-03.14, respectively. Conventional Asphalt Sections: A conventional pavement section typically comprises an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed rock base course. We recommend using the following conventional pavement sections: Minimum Thickness Pavement Course Automobile Parking Area Driveways Areas Subject to Frequent Truck Traffic Asphalt Concrete Pavement 2 inches 3 inches 4 inches Crushed Rock Base 4 inches 6 inches 6 inches Granular Fill Subbase (if needed) 12 inches 24 inches 24 inches Compaction and Observation: All subbase and base course material should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557), and all asphalt concrete should be compacted to at least 92 percent of the Rice value (ASTM D-2041). We recommend that an MGI representative be retained to observe the compaction of each course before any overlying layer is placed. For the subbase and pavement course, compaction is best observed by means of frequent density testing. For the base course, methodology observations and hand-probing are more appropriate than density testing. Pavement Life and Maintenance: No asphalt pavement is maintenance-free. The above described pavement sections present our minimum recommendations for an average level of performan ce during a 20-year design life, therefore, an average level of maintenance will likely be required. Furthermore, a 20-year pavement life typically assumes that an overlay will be placed after about 10 years. Thicker asphalt and/or thicker base and subbase courses would offer better long-term performance, but would cost more initially; thinner courses would be more susceptible to “alligator” cracking and other failure modes. As such, pavement design can be considered a compromise between a high initial cost and low maintenance costs versus a low initial cost and higher maintenance costs. 4.6 Structural Fill The term "structural fill" refers to any material placed under foundations, retaining walls, slab - on-grade floors, sidewalks, pavements, and other structures. Our comments, conclusions, and recommendations concerning structural fill are presented in the following paragraphs. Materials: Typical structural fill materials include clean sand, gravel, pea gravel, washed rock, crushed rock, well-graded mixtures of sand and gravel (commonly called "gravel borrow" or "pit- run"), and miscellaneous mixtures of silt, sand, and gravel. Recycled asphalt, concrete, and glass, which are derived from pulverizing the parent materials, are also potentially useful as structural fill in certain applications. Utilizing recycled content may require approval from the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department for placement in an aquifer recharge area. Soils used for HHJ Architects, PLLC – Walker Renton Auto Dealership, 3400 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA April 27, 2018 Geotechnical Engineering Report P1238-T18 Migizi Group, Inc. Page 14 of 15 structural fill should not contain any organic matter or debris, nor any individual particles greater than about 6 inches in diameter. Fill Placement: Clean sand, gravel, crushed rock, soil mixtures, and recycled materials should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness, and each lift should be thoroughly compacted with a mechanical compactor. Compaction Criteria: Using the Modified Proctor test (ASTM:D-1557) as a standard, we recommend that structural fill used for various onsite applications be compacted to the following minimum densities: Fill Application Minimum Compaction Slab-on-grade floor subgrade (upper 2 feet) Slab-on-grade floor subgrade (below 2 feet) Asphaltic pavement base and subbase Asphaltic pavement subgrade (upper 2 feet) Asphaltic pavement subgrade (below 2 feet) 95 percent 90 percent 95 percent 95 percent 90 percent Subgrade Observation and Compaction Testing: Regardless of material or location, all structural fill should be placed over firm, unyielding subgrades prepared in accordance with the Site Preparation section of this report. The condition of all subgrades should be observed by geotechnical personnel before filling or construction begins. Also, fill soil compaction should be verified by means of in-place density tests performed during fill placement so that adequacy of soil compaction efforts may be evaluated as earthwork progresses. Soil Moisture Considerations: The suitability of soils used for structural fill depends primarily on their grain-size distribution and moisture content when they are placed. As the "fines" content (that soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve) increases, soils become more sensitive t o small changes in moisture content. Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines (by weight) cannot be consistently compacted to a firm, unyielding condition when the moisture content is more than 2 percentage points above or below optimum. For fill placement during wet-weather site work, we recommend using "clean" fill, which refers to soils that have a fines content of 5 percent or less (by weight) based on the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 Sieve. 5.0 RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements will depend largely on proper site preparation, drainage, fill placement, and construction procedures, monitoring and testing by experienced geotechnical personnel should be considered an integral part of the construction process. Consequently, we recommend that MGI be retained to provide the following post-report services: • Review all construction plans and specifications to verify that our design criteria presented in this report have been properly integrated into the design; • Prepare a letter summarizing all review comments (if required); APPROXIMATE SITE LOCATION P.O.

Valley Rd Renton, Washington 1 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 1 INTRODUCTION PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. (PBS) has prepared the following Critical Area Report for a property recently purchased by Mr. Dale Walker and being proposed for development as a new car dealership. The site was operated as an auto junk yard and auto repair shop for at least 50 years prior to being purchased by Mr. Walker. Most recently the property was doing business as South End Auto Wrecking, Inc. Various forms of contamination have been identified at the site and cleanup efforts will likely include removal of some of the contaminated soils. Stemen Environmental is coordinating a cleanup of the site under Ecology’s voluntary cleanup program. Mr. Walker has cleared the vehicles and trash off the site in preparation for development of the lot. The City of Renton requested a wetland delineation prior to any excavation or grading of the site. Before PBS could conduct the delineation, Mr. Walker had someone clear the vegetation at the east edge of the property. The clearing extended across a City identified wetland at the east edge of the site onto the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) right-of-way for State Route 167. This report identifies the wetland boundary, assesses the impacts to the wetland from the clearing activity, and includes a restoration plan for restoring wetland vegetation. 2 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Location and Setting The property is located at 3400 East Valley Road, inside the City limits of Renton, WA. It is in the NE quarter of Section 30, Township 23 North, Range 05 East. The property consists of a single tax lot (King County tax parcel 3023059067) totaling approximately 5.65 acres (Figure 1). The approximate center of the site is at latitude 47.449707, longitude -122.216895. The property is in the Lower Green – Duwamish watershed in the Duwamish-Green River Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9). The Walker property borders East Valley Road on the west side, State Route 167 to the east, and commercial properties to the south and north. The property sits in a regional low-lying area that was once part of a large wetland complex at the junction of the Cedar, Black, and Green Rivers. An historic map shows a small stream running through the middle of the property from the southeast corner to the west side. The project site is relatively flat with elevations ranging from 16 feet above sea level near the northeast corner and the southwest corner to 24 feet near the middle of the site. Most of the surface drainage is towards the southwest corner, with some drainage flowing to the east. 2.2 Site History The property was used for agricultural land until the 1950’s or 1960’s Since then it has been used as an auto junkyard and auto repair facility. Historic aerials from 1936 and 1940 show agricultural fields across the entire area. No obvious wetlands are visible on these photos and any stream that may have been present has likely been ditched. Highway 167 was built in the 1960’s and a 1964 aerial shows the south half and the west third of the north half of the property cleared with fill placement likely. By 1968 the entire property is being used as an auto junkyard except for a strip of vegetation along the east edge. In 2008, WSDOT widened SR 167 extending the roadway approximately 30 feet to the west and constructing a rock gabion retaining wall just east of the subject property. The retaining wall was designed to limit impacts to a wetland that extended nearly a mile along the west edge of the roadway. In October of 2017, the eastern portion of the property and the adjacent WSDOT right-of-way was cleared of trees and shrubs. Some of the logs and brush were left in the wetland, some appear to have been collected in slash piles outside the wetland, and some appear to have been chipped in place. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 2 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 WSDOT sent notification of the incident to Washington Department of Ecology, the City of Renton, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, and the Muckleshoot tribe. Mr. Walker is currently working with WSDOT on resolution of the unauthorized clearing and restoration of the wetland vegetation. 2.3 Hydrology The property is in the Panther Creek watershed. Panther Creek flows into Springbrook Creek, which in turn flows into the Black River and then the Green/Duwamish River. The site is part of the Duwamish – Green Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9). The hydrology of this area has been dramatically changed over the last century with the lowering of Lake Washington which dried up much of the Black River, redirection of the Cedar River flows from the Black and Green Rivers into Lake Washington, and filling of vast areas of wetland and conversion of the floodplain and wetlands to commercial and industrial uses. Hydrology at the site currently comes primarily from direct precipitation, high groundwater, and stormwater runoff. There is a culvert connection under SR 167 near the south end of the property that allows water to pass through between the Panther Creek wetlands to the east of the Highway and the wetland between the west side of the highway and the subject property. Water level readings in wells installed by Stemen Environmental show water levels 7 to 10 feet below the ground surface across much of the site during the dry season and near the surface during the wet season, particularly in the southwest corner. Based on data from the wells, groundwater flow appears to be towards the west and the Green River. Surface flows on the site are towards the southwest corner and the east side of the property. Historic aerials show a stormwater pond constructed in 2011 in the southwest corner of the subject property. According to Mr. Stemen, water was pumped out of the pond east towards the southeast corner, where it was filtered in an oyster shell pit before entering the wetland. This stormwater treatment facility is visible on photos starting in 2012 and was approved by Ecology. The pumps have since been removed and water now overflows the stormwater pond across much of the southwest corner of the site. The remains of the stormwater pond and the oyster shell pit were found during the site visit. An east/west ditch across the property is visible on aerials in the southern half of the property. Portions of this ditch were still present during the site visit, though no direct connection to the wetland was observed. At the time of the site visit, there was shallow ponded water in much of the southwest corner and water up to 2 feet deep in the wetland on the WSDOT right-of-way. 2.4 Soils Soils are mapped as urban land across the subject property due to high levels of disturbance (NRCS 2017). To the west, across East Valley Road, soils are mapped as Tukwila Muck. To the east on the other side of SR 167, soils are mapped as Seattle Muck. Both soils are deep, poorly drained organic soils that formed in herbaceous and woody deposits in depressions and river valleys. Surface soil on the property is nearly all fill material. Some remnants of the original muck soils are found in the wetland in the WSDOT right-of-way. 2.5 Vegetation Communities 2.5.1 Historic Vegetation Communities The property would have probably originally supported a mix of upland forested and forested, scrub-shrub and emergent wetland communities. Black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), western red-cedar (Thuja plicata), red alder (Alnus rubra). Pacific willow (Salix lucida ssp lasiandra) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) would have been present in the forested wetland areas. Shrubs likely included willows (Salix sp), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), Douglas spirea (Spirea douglasii) and others. Sedges (Carex sp), rushes (Juncus sp, Scirpus sp) and a variety of other herbaceous plants would have also Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 3 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 been present. The original forest and wetlands were likely logged, cleared and drained over a century ago to make way for agricultural fields and then commercial and industrial development. 2.5.2 Existing Vegetation For the last 50 years or more, there has been very little vegetation on the site except for some narrow fringes of mostly weedy species along the edges. There was a forested wetland on the WSDOT right-of-way just east of the property. Based on vegetation on the properties to the north and south and remaining vegetation in th, this area, the vegetation in the right-of-way consisted of an overstory of black cottonwood and Pacific willow, with red-osier dogwood, Douglas spirea and Himalayan blackberry in the shrub layer and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), slough sedge (Carex obnupta), and horsetails (Equisetum sp) in the understory. Other species may also be present, but were not identifiable at the time of the site visit in December. 3 CRITICAL AREAS 3.1 National and Local Wetland Inventories The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps a 1.6 acre palustrine, forested, seasonally flooded wetland just east of the property along the west side of SR 167 extending north from the subject property. A 25-acre palustrine, emergent and scrub-shrub, semi-permanently flooded wetland is mapped on the east side of SR 157 that extends north to SR 405. Several other emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands are shown south of this larger wetland. A palustrine forested wetland associated with Panther Creek is also mapped along the east side of SR 167. All of these wetlands are part of a wetland complex associated with Panther Creek and Rolling Hills Creek that has been fragmented by SR 167 and other development. The City of Renton wetland maps show a 52-acre wetland on the east side of SR 167 and a 3-acre wetland on the west side of SR 167. While the NWI map shows wetland extending only halfway along the east side of the property, the City of Renton wetland maps show the wetland extending along the entire east edge of the property and continuing over 600 feet south of the property boundary. Figure 2 shows the City mapped wetlands and Figure 3 shows the NWI mapped wetlands. 3.2 Wetland Delineation Methods 3.2.1 Rationale for Delineation Methods Based upon guidance provided in the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast Supplement (Version 2.0) (WMVC Regional Supplement), it is the best professional judgment of the PBS delineation team that the current wetlands in the study area still exist under reasonably “normal circumstances” as defined in the 1987 Manual and supplement despite the recent clearing. Wetland soils and hydrology are still present. Remnants of the cleared vegetation along with reference vegetation to the north and south allowed for inference of wetland vegetation at the site pre-clearing. Therefore, we delineated waters and wetlands on the project using methods recommended in the manual for normal circumstances. 3.2.2 Office Methods Office preparation for the delineation consisted of reviewing a variety of online sources including aerial photographs, City of Renton GIS layers, King County iMAP, soils maps and descriptions, weather history, site history, etc. 3.2.3 Field Methods Katharine Lee, a Professional Wetland Scientist, and Kevin Hood conducted a field visit on December 13, 2017. The wetland was delineated using the three-parameter approach as required in the WMVC Regional Supplement, with extrapolation of vegetation based on remaining vegetation, stumps and intact vegetation to the north and south. A Magellan handheld GPS unit with post-processing and sub-meter accuracy was used Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 4 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 to map the location of wetland flags and data plots. The wetland sits in a defined depression with a retaining wall on the east side along SR 167 and a fill prism on the west side. 3.2.3.1 Hydrology The presence of wetland hydrology was determined by evaluating a variety of direct and indirect indicators. In addition to direct hydrologic measurements, hydrologic indicators can be used to infer satisfaction of the wetland hydrology criterion. Field indicators of wetland hydrology listed in the Regional Supplement include, but are not limited to, visual observation of inundation or saturation, sediment deposition, hydric soil characteristics, watermarks, drift lines, oxidation around living roots and rhizomes, and water-stained leaves. To satisfy the hydrology criterion for wetlands, soils need to be inundated or saturated to the surface for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. The site visits occurred at the end of, or just outside the growing season for this area. Primary hydrologic indicators in the form of saturated soils, high groundwater and inundation were present at the time of the site visit. 3.2.3.2 Soils The presence of hydric soils was determined consistent with the WMVC Regional Supplement and current regulatory guidance. The supplement includes hydric soil indicators specific to this region. Soils were evaluated based on these indicators. The extent and depth of historic fill generally defines the current wetland boundary with the wetland extending into the edge of the fill. Fill material was a mix a silty, sandy, gravelly material with varying types of debris. 3.2.3.3 Vegetation No vegetation was present on the upland areas at the time of the site visit and while upland areas appeared to have recently been graded during the removal of vehicles, it does not appear any vegetation had been previously present based on historic aerials. The vegetation in the wetland had recently been cleared, removing all the trees and most of the shrubs. Stumps were still present along with a few shrubs and some herbaceous vegetation. Because of this, vegetation was not a reliable indicator of the wetland/upland boundary except offsite at the north and south edges. Species identifications and taxonomic nomenclature followed the USDA Plants Database. Each species' indicator status was assigned using the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast 2016 Regional Wetland Plant List (USAC 2017). A species indicator status refers to the relative frequency with which the species occurs in jurisdictional wetlands (Appendix E). An area satisfies the hydrophytic vegetation criteria when, under normal circumstances, more than 50 percent of the dominant species from each stratum are obligate wetland (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), or facultative (FAC) species. 3.2.4 Growing Season The growing season is generally defined as the portion of the year when soil temperatures at approximately 20 inches below the soil surface are above biological zero or 5 degrees Celsius (US Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service 1985). When soil temperature data are not available, the Wetland Delineation Manual allows using the closest and best available weather station data to estimate the length of the growing season based on a 50% probability of a temperature of 28°F or higher (Environmental Laboratory 1987, USACE 2010). Using this approximation, the growing season in this region would be approximately 305 days long at least 50% of the time. Generally, this translates to the period of mid-February to mid-December. To meet the hydrology criteria at this site, soils would need to be saturated to the surface for at least 14 consecutive days during that interval. The site visits occurred at the very end of the growing season. 3.2.5 Climate King County has a predominantly temperate marine climate typical of much of the Puget Sound area. The property is in the Puget Sound lowlands climatic region. Summers are warm and relatively dry, and winters tend to be mild, but rather wet. Mean high temperatures for the Seattle Tacoma Airport (4.2miles west) range from 46°F in December and January to 76°F in July and August. Mean low temperatures range from 36°F in Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 5 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 December and January to 56°F in July and August (US Climate Normals 1912-2016). The wetland delineation occurred on December 13, 2017. Precipitation in the spring of 2017 was well above the normal range but this was followed by a very dry summer. The rainfall for the 6-month interval prior to the delineation was within the normal range. Precipitation levels are considered normal when the probability of that rainfall amount for a given month is greater than or equal to 30% either side of the mean, as displayed in the table below (Table 1). While precipitation in October and November was slightly above normal, precipitation for the interval of June through September was well below normal. There was 1.2 inches of rain for the 2 weeks in December prior to the delineation, which is somewhat low for that period. Table 1.

There is approximately 0.06 acres of wetland that extends onto the Walker property. This wetland had been mapped by WSDOT in 2004 and verified by PBS in 2007. More recent delineation and verification occurred in 2014/2015 as part of the WDOT direct connector project. The PBS mapped boundary was similar to the WSDOT previously mapped boundaries. One data plot was taken in the wetland (Plot 1) and one in the adjacent upland (Plot 2). Upland areas had no vegetation, fill material lacking hydric soil indicators, and no wetland hydrology. The upland/wetland boundary was identified primarily on the basis of wetland hydrology, hydric soil indicators and topography. The data sheets can be found in Appendix A. PBS also examined other areas of the property to make sure no other wetlands were present. A small stormwater pond is present in the southwest corner that was operational until very recently. Wetland vegetation in the form of willows and reed canary grass is present along the edge of this constructed pond. Soils are highly disturbed. It is PBS’s best professional judgement that this pond is not a jurisdictional wetland, having been constructed in fill about six years ago. Shallow ponding was also observed north of the stormwater pond in an area with highly compacted gravel soils and pavement and no vegetation. This area did not meet the definition of a wetland. 3.3.1 Soils Soils in Plot 1 consisted primarily of fill material. Two inches of recent wood chippings were present at the surface. From 2 to 6 inches, the soil was sandy fill material with a matrix color of 10YR 3/2. Between 6 and 12 inches there was similar sandy, gravelly fill that had a matrix color of 2.5Y 4/1 with 2 percent redoximorphic concentrations of 7.5YR 4/4. Below 12 inches, the matrix color remained the same with 5 percent Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 6 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 redoximorphic concentrations of 7.5YR 4/4 and 2 percent concentrations of 10YR 4/6. Some cobbles were present at depth. The soil met the criteria for Hydric Soil Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix as defined in the Corps of Engineers Regional Supplement. Organic soils were not found in the top 18 inches at the plot but appeared to be present further into the wetland. The corresponding upland soil at Plot 2 was sandy gravelly fill material that also had a matrix value of 10YR 3/2 to a depth of 10 inches with matrix colors of 10YR 4/2 and 10YR 4/1 below but no redoximorphic concentrations in the top 16 inches. Well logs from the two wells closest to the wetland did not have information on the surface soils but found moist silts and sandy soils at a depth of 5 feet. No organic soils were documented in the logs, which if historically present, were probably above 5 feet in depth. Unfortunately, the logs were not useful in trying to determine the depth of fill on the property. 3.3.2 Hydrology Wetland hydrology was present in the form of inundation up to 2 feet in depth, water in the soil test pits near the surface, and saturation. No detectable flow was observed. At the time of the site visit, no flow was observed coming into the wetland from the culvert under SR 167. Some minor surface flow was detected from the property into the wetland in the northeast corner. Hydrologic inputs appear to be primarily from high groundwater and direct precipitation. 3.3.3 Vegetation Stumps of black cottonwood and Pacific willow were observed in the wetland along with remnants of Douglas spirea, red-osier dogwood and what appears to be Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis). Himalayan blackberry was also present. Reed canary grass had about 20 percent coverage in the wetland. Wetland vegetation on the property to the north consisted of an overstory of black cottonwood, and a shrub layer of red-osier dogwood, willows, Douglas spirea and Himalayan blackberry. Reed canary grass dominated the understory with some common sedge (Carex obnupta) and horsetails. Adjacent upland vegetation also had a canopy of black cottonwood with an understory of Himalayan blackberry, reed canary grass and tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) with an occasional sword fern (Polystichum munitum). The wetland on the property to the south was dominated by willows and reed canary grass with the wetland sandwiched between the retaining wall to the east and a steep fill slope to the west. As mentioned previously no vegetation was present on the subject property west of the wetland. . 3.4 Wetland Rating and Buffers The wetland was rated using the 2014 version of the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (Hruby, 2014) as a Category III wetland. Despite the fact that the wetland was once part of the larger Panther Creek wetland to the east, it is now effectively separated and was considered a separate wetland for the purposes of rating. The culvert under SR 167 at the property is 180 feet long and at an elevation that it would only engage during very high water levels. Table 2 lists the characteristics of the wetland. Figure 5 shows the wetland boundary, data plot locations and buffers. City of Renton buffers for Category III wetlands with a habitat score of 5 to 7 are 100 feet. The wetland rates relatively high for water quality because of the urban setting and poor water quality in the vicinity, moderate for hydrology functions, and moderately low for habitat functions.

Impacts to the wetland would trigger both a City of Renton permit and a federal Army Corps of Engineers permit and review by other agencies. Impacts to buffers are regulated only at the local level. The City of Renton allows buffers to be reduced by 25 percent if the development follows certain mitigation measures which include:  The reduced buffer will function at a higher level than the standard buffer, and  The buffer has less than fifteen percent slopes and no direct or indirect, short-term or long-term, adverse impacts to regulated wetlands, and  The proposal shall rely on a site-specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon the document “Wetlands in Washington State” (Ecology Publication No. 04-06-008, April 2005) or similar approaches, and  The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science. 4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT All trees and most shrubs were cleared from Wetland A between the north and south property corners east to the SR 167 retaining wall on the WSDOT right-of-way. Clearing occurred over approximately 19,000 square feet (0.44 acres). All but approximately 2,500 square feet of wetland clearing occurred on the WSDOT right-of- way. Some of the logs were left in the wetland and other material was either piled in uplands or chipped on site. Aside from some wood chips, it did not appear that any grading or filling had occurred in the wetland, though this was difficult to determine accurately since we had not seen the site prior to disturbance and water levels in the wetland at the time of the site visit were high enough to obscure ground disturbance. It is likely that operation of equipment in or adjacent to the wetland caused some ground disturbance, though fortunately the clearing occurred at the end of an extended dry period when most of the wetland was dry. At least a dozen trees greater than 6 inches diameter were removed. Some of the stumps appeared to have been ground down to the soil surface. Because soil disturbance appears to have been limited, herbaceous vegetation is already starting to recover and many of the trees and shrubs are expected to re-sprout from root crowns. Several wetland functions have been impacted by the clearing. Despite the urban and industrialized context of the site, the wetland performs some important wetland functions. The ability of the wetland to provide water quality functions has been diminished by the loss of vegetation. The loss of vegetation structure has also greatly reduced habitat functions. The narrow strip of forest and shrubs provided a corridor for wildlife in a heavily developed landscape. The cover provided by vegetation is now gone, effectively breaking the corridor. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E. Valley Rd Renton, Washington 8 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 5 RESTORATION PLAN 5.1 Goals and Objectives Mr. Walker is working with WSDOT on restoration of the wetland in the WSDOT right-of-way. The restoration will be completed per WSDOT specifications either by WSDOT or by Mr. Walker under WSDOT supervision. The goal of the restoration plan for the buffer will be to create a functioning buffer that protects and enhances the wetland functions through planting and control of invasives. Nearly the entire buffer was being used for junk vehicle storage with little to no native vegetation present. We are proposing a reduction in the standard buffer from 100 feet to 75 feet through enhancement of the remaining buffer to include planting of native trees, shrubs and understory vegetation. Some of the surface fill soils will be removed as part of the site clean-up effort. Placement of compost will help improve surface soil conditions and protect water quality in the wetland. 5.2 Performance Standards Table 3 shows the performance standards that will be used to measure restoration success in the buffer. Table 3. Performance Standards Thresholds Parameter Year 1 Year 3 Year 5 Survival of planted trees 90% 80% 70% Survival of planted shrubs/ferns 90% 80% 70% Plant diversity - # of native species >6 >6 >6 Percent cover invasives1 < 10% 1. Invasives include Japanese knotweed, Himalayan blackberry, and any other species listed on the King County noxious weed list. Reed canary grass is ubiquitous in this area and control is likely not feasible. 5.3 Restoration Activities 5.3.1 Fill Removal/ Grading/ Site Preparation Within the 75-foot buffer some contaminated fill material will likely be removed as part of the site clean-up effort. Clean soil backfill may be placed as necessary depending on the depth of the removal. The final buffer area will be graded to provide some microtopographic relief. Large wood may be placed near the wetland edge for habitat improvement. Two inches of compost will be spread throughout the wetland buffer area to improve soil conditions. 5.3.2 Native Plantings The restoration area has been divided into three planting zones. Zone A is the WSDOT wetland area that is will be restored per WSDOT requirements. Zone B is the wetland edge that is rarely inundated, and Zone C is the buffer zone. Zone B will be seeded with a wetland seed mix. Zone C will be seeded with an upland erosion control mix. Table 4 is the planting plan and Figure 5 shows the planting zones. Planting will occur in the spring of 2018. Planting of Zone A may need to be delayed until water levels have come down far enough to allow access by the planting crews. 5.3.3 Follow-up Weed Control Himalayan blackberry will be removed throughout the wetland and buffer area where present. Other species that will be removed if they appear in the restoration area include scotch broom, tansy ragwort, thistles, and any other species on the King County noxious weed list. Reed canary grass is currently present it the wetland and may spread into the buffer. Efforts will be made to control the grass, but success of the restoration will not be dependent on control of this species. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E.

Valley Rd Renton, Washington 10 April 2018 PBS Project No. 41475.000 5.4 Maintenance and Monitoring of Restoration Per City of Renton Code, the restoration plantings must be monitoring annually for 3 to 5 years or until performance standards have been met. We are proposing a baseline monitoring, yearly monitoring in years 1,2 and 3 and then a final monitoring in Year 5 if needed. Monitoring may need to be continued beyond 5 years if performance standards are not being met. Once planting is complete, a Baseline Monitoring Report will be submitted to the City that includes an as-built drawing and a more detailed Monitoring Plan. The as- built report will document any grading and site preparation activities, as well as the new plantings. Specific monitoring protocol will be provided in the Baseline Monitoring Report. Once approved by the City, this plan will form the basis for evaluating the success of the critical area restoration. During the first two years, all planted stock will be replaced either in kind or with another approved native species if diseased, dead or dying. Weeding and removal of invasives will need to occur at least twice a year during the monitoring period. Native volunteers will not be removed. Monitoring will occur near the end of the growing season to document vigor and survival of planted stock. Reports will be due to the City before the end of each calendar year in Years 1, 2, 3, and 5. The monitoring report will include the following basic information:  A tally of planted trees and shrubs in each plot to identify mortality or poor vigor.  Estimates of native species cover by species  Vigor and mortality of planted stock  Percent cover of invasive weed species  Assessment of other non-natives to determine if control is needed  Photographs at established photo points  Recommended contingency measures to replace mortality or control weeds.  Observations on the overall status of the restoration area and any unauthorized activities. A total of 6 10-foot radius circular plots will be established throughout the buffer restoration to evaluate percent cover. The plot centers will be marked with a piece of rebar and flagging. Figure 6 shows approximate locations of photo points and plots. The locations may be modified during baseline monitoring. Monitoring of the WSDOT property will be done according to WSDOT specifications. 5.5 Contingency Measures Contingency measures will be triggered if the performance standard thresholds are not being met as documented during the yearly monitoring. All planted stock mortality in the first year will be replaced either in-kind or with a replacement species approved by the wetland biologist. Some species substitutions may be needed if the original species is not performing well. Any replacement plantings will occur either in the fall or spring. Additional weed control will be triggered if invasive species become established that threaten the success of the restoration. Control of reed canary grass will be limited due to difficulty of control. Dale Walker Property Critical Areas Report 3400 E.

The site utilizes water quality facilities to treat stormwater draining from the site. It was determined using these criteria that:  The site will meet the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard for flow control.  Water quality facilities will be designed to meet the required Enhanced Basic Water Quality Treatment Level for the site.  Pipe networks will be designed to be of adequate size to effectively convey the 25-year storm event and to contain the 100-year storm event. This analysis is based on data and records either supplied to or obtained by AHBL. These documents are referenced within the text of the analysis. The analysis has been prepared utilizing procedures and practices within the standard accepted practices of the industry. We conclude that this project, as schematically represented, will not create any new problems within the downstream drain age system. This project will not noticeably aggravate any existing downstream problems due to either water quality or quantity. AHBL, Inc.

The subject property is located at 3400 East Valley Road (APN 3023059067) near the int ersection of East Valley Road and SW 34th St. The project site totals 5.65 acres in area and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The site is located in the Automall Area C Overlay District. Two existing buildings are presently located on the site and are proposed for demolition as part of the project. The previous use located on the property resulted in a significant amount of contaminated due to the decomposition of the junk vehicles. The applicant would be required to obtain a Voluntary Clean- up Approval from the Department of Ecology (DOE) as part of the Model Toxics Control Act. The restoration plan submitted DOE would also be evaluated under the SEPA process. The proposed new structure would include a showroom/sales area, parts sale and storage area, se rvice and shop, and various other support areas. Access to the site is proposed via three new driveways off of East Valley Road. The site is mapped with a high seismic hazard. According to the applicant, a Category III wetlands is located within the SR 167 ROW directly east of the site. The proposed development would generate approximately 1808 net new average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 1 net new trips (88 inbound and 33 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 158 net new trips (63 inbound and 95 outbound). The proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D as follows: Transportation Concurrency Test – Walker Subaru Page 2 of 3 July 27, 2018 Traffic Concurrency Test Criteria Pass Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan Yes Within allowed growth levels Yes Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees Yes Site specific street improvements to be completed by project Yes Traffic Concurrency Test Passes Evaluation of Test Criteria Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan: The City’s investment in completion of the forecast traffic improvements is 130% of the scheduled expenditure through 2017. Within allowed growth levels: As shown on the attached citywide traffic concurrency summary, the calculated citywide trip capacity for concurrency with the city adopted model for 201 8 is 2,049 trips, which provides sufficient capacity to accommodate 158 additional trips from this project. A resulting 1,891 trips are remaining. Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees: The project will be subject to transportation impact fees at time of building permit for the project. Site specific street improvements to be completed by project: The project will be required to complete all internal and frontage street improvements for the building prior to occupancy. Any additional off-site improvements identified through SEPA or land use approval will also be completed prior to final occupancy. Background Information on Traffic Concurrency Test for Renton The City of Renton Traffic Concurrency requirements for proposed development projects are covered under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-070. The specific concurrency test requirement is covered in RMC 4-6-070.D, which is listed for reference: D. CONCURRENCY REVIEW PROCESS: 1. Test Required: A concurrency test shall be conducted by the Department for each nonexempt development activity. The concurrency test shall determine consistency w ith the adopted Citywide Level of Service Index and Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, according to rules and procedures established by the Department. The Department shall issue an initial concurrency test result describing the outcome of the concurrency test. Transportation Concurrency Test – Walker Subaru Page 3 of 3 July 27, 2018 2. Written Finding Required: Prior to approval of any nonexempt development activity permit application, a written finding of concurrency shall be made by the City as part of the development permit approval. The finding of concurrency shall be made by the decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development permits required for a development activity. A written finding of concurrency shall apply only to the specific land uses, densities, intensities, and development project described in the application and development permit. 3. Failure of Test: If no reconsideration is requested, or if upon reconsideration a project fails the concurrency test, the project application shall be denied by the decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development activity permit application. The Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element on page XI -65 of the Comprehensive Plan states the following: Based upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, payment of a Transportation Mitigation Fee, and an application of site specific mitigation, development will have met City of Renton concurrency requirements.

Police: (Contact: Cyndie Parks, 425-430-7521, cparks@rentonwa.gov) CONSTRUCTION PHASE Theft from construction sites is one of the most commonly reported crimes in the City. To protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all materials and tools be locked up when not in use. The site should have security lighting, and any construction trailer or storage area should be completely fenced-in with portable chain-link fencing. The fence will provide both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective criminal and will demonstrate that the area is private property. Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in use, and should be fitted with heavy-duty deadbolts with a minimum 1-1/2” throw when bolted. Any construction material that contains cop per should be removed from the construction site at the end of each ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 3 of 9 LUA18-000305 working day. Glass windows in construction trailers should be shatter-resistant. Toolboxes and storage containers should be secured with heavy-duty padlocks and kept locked when not in use. “No Trespassing” signs should be posted on the property during the construction phase. These signs will allow officers, upon contact, to provide a verbal warning to trespassers that should they be contacted on the property again, they could be cited and/or arrested. COMPLETED FACILITY All exterior doors should be made of solid metal or metal over wood, with heavy -duty deadbolt locks, latch guards or pry-resistant cylinders around the locks, and peepholes. All strikeplates should have 2-1/2 to 3” wood screws. If glass doors are used, they should be fitted with the hardware described above and additionally be fitted with a layer of security film. Security film can increase the strength of the glass by up to 300%, greatly reducing the likelihood of breaking glass to gain entry. Access to the back of the buildings should be limited, preferably with security fencing or gates, as these areas could be vulnerable to crime due to the lack of natural surveillance by vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic. It is important to direct all foot traffic into the main entrance of the building. Any alternative employee entrances should have coded access to prevent trespassing. All areas of this project need to have adequate lighting. This will assist in the deterrent of theft of and from motor vehicle as well as provide safe pedestrian travel for customers utilizing the business. The structure should have a building number clearly posted with numbers at least 6” in height and of a color contrasting with the building. This will assist emergency personnel in locating the correct location for response. Landscaping should be installed with the objective of allowing visibility – not too dense and not too high. Too much landscaping will make customers and employees feel isolated and will provide criminals with conceal ment to commit crimes such as burglary and malicious mischief (property destruction). It is important for safety and security reasons to have appropriate lighting and signage. Use plenty of lights throughout your property, not just in the areas you thin k are most vulnerable. “No Trespassing” signs should be posted in conspicuous locations throughout the property, including entrances to the property and parking areas. Garbage and recycling dumpsters, according to plans, are placed in the farthest corne rs behind the property, bordering greenbelt area. Due to limited visibility of this area it is recommended dumpster areas be gated and locked during and after business hours to prevent loitering, illegal dumping and/or tampering. Additional lighting should also be placed around these areas for extra visibility. Most theft of vehicles from dealerships is the result of keys and key fob’s not properly secured. To prevent theft of automobiles and inventory at car dealerships, it is recommended to put in pla ce a high level of security around key management. Electronic key cabinets are one recommendation that come with audit tracking systems to secure keys and allow inventory control as well as require specific check-in/check-out monitoring. Key management is to include the service department when customer vehicles left on-site for overnight service have keys readily available to “grab & go”. ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 4 of 9 LUA18-000305 It is recommended that the dealership lot have proper barriers and fencing in place to prevent theft. Fencing with barbed wire is recommended to store surplus inventory. Gates are recommended at all entrances/exits and secured after hours to make it more difficult to drive vehicles off the lot due to theft. Bollards are recommended throughout the property to prevent theft of vehicle. In review of the plans it looks like there will be some bollards placed around the main building. When considering bollards as a deterrent to vehicle theft, note that bollards can be placed throughout several areas of the property as permanent, decorative, and/or moveable. Due to the high-dollar inventory at auto dealerships, hired security guards and video monitored surveillance is recommended. Guards can patrol major access points and minimized the threat of loss. The presence of guards patrolling a property can discourage criminals from targeting your dealership. An auxiliary security service could be used to patrol the property, preferably between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Video monitored surveillance for this type of inventory should be in “real time”. If an alarm is tripped and is being monitored, police can be dispatched immediately, increasing the chance of preventing the theft before it happens and possibly arrest of a suspect. If you choose to use security guards and/or surveillance, post signs throughout the property announcing that you do so. Let would-be criminals know you are watching. I highly recommend that the developer have a Renton Police Crime Prevention Representative conduct a security survey of the premises once construction is complete.

A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated May 2018, was submitted by AHBL with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area matching Existing Site Conditions and is within the Black River Drainage Basin. The development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been discussed in the Technical Information Report. 3. As discussed in the TIR, the applicant has determined that the redevelopment project is exempt from Core Requirement #3, Flow Control, since the proposed development will result in less than a 0.15 cfs increase in surface water run-off from the existing site conditions 100-year peak flow rate when modeled using the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM 2012), as outlined in Core Requirement #3. a. The redevelopment project is proposing to upgrade existing gravel and/or hard compacted dirt to asphalt. The existing ground surface is not currently serviced by an existing piped or channeled conveyance system. As such, while the existing ground surface is defined as an existing impervious area, it is classified as an existing non-effective impervious area for the purposes of continuous modeling land cover types per Section 3.2.2. b. As defined in Section 3.2.2, non-effective impervious area is assumed to have the same hydrologic response as the immediately surrounding pervious area. Therefore, the existing gravel/hard compacted dirt land cover shall be modeled as grass rather than impervious surface. c. The applicant will need to provide an updated WWHM model demonstrating compliance with the exception criteria outlined in Section 1.2.3.1.A as part of the civil construction permit application. If the exception criteria outlined in the RSWDM cannot be achieved, the applicant will be required to comply with all requirements of Core Requirement #3, which may include installation of a detention facility ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 8 of 9 LUA18-000305 which shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at th e time of civil construction permit application. 4. The development is required to provide enhanced basic water quality treatment prior to discharge. Project water quality treatment will consist of two separate systems in order to maintain the two natural discharge locations. The east natural discharge basin will consist of conveyance to a bioretention cell prior to discharging into the existing wetland to the east. The west natural discharge basin will consist of conveyance to a proprietary water quality filter system prior to connection to the existing 12-inch concrete stormwater main located along East Valley Road. a. The applicant shall provide the GULD approval for the proposed water quality treatment filter system verifying that the system has been accepted by the Department of Ecology. b. The conveyance and water quality systems shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction permit application. 5. There are no potential downstream flooding or erosion issues identified in the drainage report. 6. Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. A preliminary drainage plan, including the application of on-site BMPs, has been included with the land use application, which identifies the use of basic dispersion to mitigate the impervious roof area. The final drainage plan and drainage report must be submitted with the civil construction permit application. a. Final evaluation of the application of on-site BMPs to the maximum extent feasible will be completed during civil construction permit review. The applicant may be required to apply additional on-site BMPs in order to meet the minimum requirements outlined in Core Requirement #9. 7. All work proposed outside of the applicant’s property will require a permanent drainage easement to be provided to the City and a temporary construction easement prior to any permits being issued. 8. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required since grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site. 9. Surface water system development fee is $0.687 per square foot of new impervious surface, but not less than $1,718.00. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit. TRANSPORTATION 1. The proposed development fronts East Valley Road along the west property lines. East Valley Road is classified as a Collector Arterial Road. Existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 85 feet. To meet the City’s complete street standards for collector arterial streets, minimum right of way width is 94 feet. Dedication of 4.5 feet of right of way would be required. The proposed development is subject to half-street frontage improvements which includes installation of paved travel width of 41 feet, with 8-ft wide parking on both sides, 0.5-ft wide curbs, 8-ft wide landscaped planters, 8-ft wide sidewalk, and 2 feet of clear width at back of sidewalk. a. The existing pavement width along East Valley Road is approximately 36 feet with a 0.5-foot curb/gutter and a 6-foot sidewalk on the east and west sides of roadway along the project frontage. The City’s Transportation section and Economic Development section reviewed East Valley Road and the surrounding area and have determined that a modified collector arterial street section along the east side of East Valley Road is more suitable for this location of East Valley Road. b. The modified collector arterial street section along the east side of East Valley Road will maintain the existing pavement width and curb-line. Applicant shall install a new 8-ft planter strip behind the existing curb-line and a new 6-ft sidewalk behind the new planter strip. No right-of-way dedication will be required to install the required frontage improvements. 2. The applicant has requested a street modification in order to match the modified the ROW width and street cross section to match the existing roadway section and street frontage improvements noted above. a. City staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s street modification request.
