The project site is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation and Urban Design District D. The USTs were pumped down to approximately one inch of residual product remaining in the bottom of the tanks. A seismic hazard area and protected slopes are mapped on the project site. There is a stream and an off-site wetland mapped to the south and east of the project site. All proposed work would occur within existing paved developed areas, no impacts to critical areas or buffers are anticipated. Exist. Bldg. Area SF: 136,918 sq. ft. Proposed New Bldg. Area: N/A Site Area: 14.47 acres STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends that the Environmental Review Committee issue a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS).

A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period. B. Mitigation Measures None recommended C.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The project site is flat and is a former paved gas station for the Sam’s Club. The proposal is to saw cut and remove concrete to access and remove three underground storage tanks. The proposal would involve approximately 2,200 square feet of impacted area that would include the removal of pea gravel around the storage tanks, which would be stockpiled for analytical testing. The UST’s would be removed and the disturbed area would be backfilled with pea gravel (if clean) and type 17 fill from a local quarry. The total back fill amount would total approximately 700 tons. The subbase would be compacted and asphalt would be replaced to match existing grade. The applicant has filed a 30-Day Notice with the Department of Ecology (Exhibit 4) regarding the tank removal and indicates that Department of Ecology guidelines will be followed during tank removal. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted erosion control, construction, and drainage regulations would adequately mitigate for any impacts that could result from the proposed tank removal and demolition activities; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measure: None recommended. Nexus: Not Applicable.

Water a. Stormwater Impacts: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report, prepared by Pacland, dated January, 2019 (Exhibit 5). The project proposal would be subject to the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). The site is currently developed as a fuel station that was operated by Sam’s Club, which has a canopy footprint of 5,400 square feet, a kiosk of approximately 325 square feet, and associated parking and landscaping. The entire work area is approximately 28,500 square feet (0.65 acres) in size. This project proposes to demolish the existing structures and hard surfaces and replace them with sod/hydroseed utilizing amended soils. The proposed demolition would lead to a decrease in the amount of overall impervious area and therefore reduce runoff. Per the requirements of RSWDM, neither flow control or water quality mitigation will be required as a result of the proposed development; therefore no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measure: None recommended Nexus: N/A b. Streams/Wetlands Impacts: There is a stream and an off-site wetland mapped to the southwest of the project site. The City did receive a comment from Karen Walter of the Muckleshoot Tribe during the 14 day agency comment period. Ms. Walter’s comments were in regards to the classification of the stream as a Type F stream instead of the mapped classification of Type Ns. All proposed work would occur within existing paved developed areas, no impacts to critical areas or buffers are anticipated. In accordance with RMC 4-3-050B.1.g the Critical Areas regulations do not apply to development proposed on sites that are separated from critical areas by pre-existing, intervening, and lawfully created structures, roads, or other substantial existing improvements. As the project site is separated from the wetland and stream areas by an existing lawfully created surface parking lot and drive aisle, the City’s adopted Critical Areas Regulations are not applicable, and no stream studies or wetland reports were required. The classification of the stream would not impact the subject proposal as the Critical Areas Regulations are not applicable. Mitigation Measure: None recommended Nexus: N/A 3. Air Impacts: Demolition activities may result in temporary additional dust, which could impact the air on and around the project site. In addition, during the rinsing and vacuuming of the tanks, minimum gasoline vapors may escape from the tanks. Work zone air monitoring would be performed during the gasoline removal process. The contractor would be required to follow Best Management Practices regarding air quality during tank removal and building demolition activities. It is anticipated that air quality would return to its previous condition once tank removal and demolition activities have been completed.

Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Transportation Impacts: The applicant estimates that the proposed tank removal and demolition activities would result in 66 total vehicle trips over ten days anticipated for project work. Of the 66 anticipated trips, 26 would be truck and trailer units. Vehicles exiting the site would turn right onto Talbot Road S traveling north to S Grady Way where they would turn left and continue to Rainier Ave S where they would turn left and access I-405. Traffic impacts are anticipated to be temporary in nature; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. E.

Where applicable, their comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant.”  Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
