impact May Creek. I have copied the letter and highlighted areas where Mayor Law has asked for a SEPA study — and
will be bringing it to you tomorrow. One example states “WAC222-10-030 states that SEPA policies for potentially
unstable slopes (Wolf property slopes approximately 11%) should be applied if the proposal “would deliver sediment or
debris to a public resource”. “Silt-laden runoff from this project would deliver sediment to salmon-bearing May Creek
which receives the flow of Greenes Stream”.

We also had silt-laden water from the 2004 Windstone detention pond break.

in Renton who wanted to protect DeLeo Wall on Cougar Mountain wrote the letter and had Mayor Law sign it. All I am
trying to do is protect my property, Greenes Stream, May Creek and Lake Washington from potential damage. If it was
good enough for Mayor Law to sign, it’s good enough for the city to do this same SEPA request for the Wolf
Annexation/development.
