This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic 2 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. BACKGROUND 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH a. General description of the site (check or circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________ The project site is predominately flat. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The steepest slope on the site is approximately 7 percent, while the average slope of the site is around 1 to 2 percent. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. The site consists of 65 percent Tukwila Muck and 34 percent Urban land based on the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey report. The geotechnical study reported fill composed of Brown-grey-tan silty SAND with gravel, fine to coarse grained, and fine to coarse grained gravel. This material was found to be moist to wet (SM) in most locations and had depth of 4.5 feet to 6.5 feet. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There are steep slopes located across Highway 167 from the site. The project site is relatively flat and soil stability issues are not anticipated. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. About 5.5 acres will be affected during the proposed project. The building footprint for the proposed building will need to be preloaded in order to prepare the soils for the construction of the proposed buildings. Structural fill will be used as the surcharge material. The fill will be located in the location of the proposed structure at a minimum height of 4 feet. The approximate quantity of fill material being imported to the site is 5,000 cubic yards. 7 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Erosion is not anticipated to be an issue. An engineered erosion and sedimentation control plan will be submitted as part of the civil engineering package. In order to decrease the chance of erosion, applicable Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be used to stabilize the site. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 70 percent of the site will be covered with impervious surface after the project is complete. These surfaces will include roofs and asphalt. This is a reduction for current conditions, where approximately 90 percent of the site is covered with impervious surfaces. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Silt fences will be used onsite in order to keep sediment from leaving the site. A construction entrance will also be utilized to help reduce erosion. All stockpiles will be covered to keep erosion to a minimum. Other methods that will be used to eliminate or reduce erosion are avoidance, reducing slopes, minimizing removal of vegetation, and managing stormwater runoff. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. The types of emission to the air resulting from the proposed project are: · Dust · Automobile · Wood processing · Rock or material crushing, grinding, or transport · Solvent or other volatile liquid use or storage · Painting or surface coating b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. 8 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 There are no offsite sources of emissions of odors that may affect this proposal. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Proposed measures that will be implemented to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to the air are: · Covering materials · Watering or stabilizing disturbed areas · Recycling solid waste 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. Yes, wetlands border the site on the east. The wetland flows into the storm drainage system located in East Valley Road. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Yes, work will be done within 200 feet of the wetlands. Construction activities will include grading, filling, excavation, construction, demolition, paving, painting, storage of materials, and planting within 200 feet of the wetland surface. Replanting and other mitigation efforts will also be made within the wetland buffer to restore wetland habitat. No other work is proposed within the wetland buffer. All required and appropriate measures will be taken to protect the wetland waterbody from being negatively affected by the construction process. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. No fill or dredge material will be placed within the wetland. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. Surface water withdrawals or diversions are not anticipated as part of this project. Due to high groundwater, dewatering may occur during construction. Groundwater 9 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 that is pumped from the site during dewatering will be discharged, as allowed by the City of Renton. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. According to the FEMA flood maps, the project site is located in Zone X, which is outside of the 500-year floodplain. Therefore, the site is also not located in the 100-year floodplain. The FEMA Floodplain map can be found as Attachment 1. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. The proposed project will involve stormwater runoff from parking lots, as well as lumber storage areas. The runoff from both of these courses will be conveyed into a treatment facility and discharged to the City stormwater system within East Valley Road. b. Ground Water: 1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. There is an existing well on the property that has limited data. Purpose and quantities of the well are unknown. This well is not to be used as part of this project. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals. . . ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. Waste materials that could be discharged into the ground include: · Sediments · Wash water · Storage debris · Treated wood pilings · Oil or fuels from equipment c. Water runoff (including stormwater): 10 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Runoff from the site will be conveyed via overland sheet flow. Stormwater will be collected and treated using a modular treatment facility approved by DOE. When stormwater has been fully treated, it will be conveyed to the City stormwater system within East Valley Road. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Waste waters will not be able to enter the ground or surface waters of the site. All runoff will be controlled onsite and treated before it is able to make contact with the ground or surface waters. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. Drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site will be improved by the proposed development. The existing site has more impervious surface than the proposed site. Therefore, the proposed site will generate less runoff than existing conditions and will improve the overall drainage patterns in the vicinity. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: The site will mitigate stormwater by stabilizing the project area and controlling stormwater runoff. Stabilization will be used to mitigate any existing erosion control issues from the gravel portions of the site. New asphalt will reduce sediment leaving the site. Stormwater runoff from the project site will be controlled by newly constructed systems to collect, convey, treat (required areas), and then be released to the City of Renton storm system. This project will not create adverse stormwater impacts. 4. PLANTS a. Check the types of vegetation found on the site: x deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other x evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other x shrubs x grass 11 S:\acadjobs\201860 Compton Lumber - Renton\Docs\City Docs and forms\SEPA Checklist.docx Rev: 08/2016 ____pasture ____crop or grain ____orchards, vineyards or other permanent crops. x wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bullrush, skunk cabbage, other ____water plants: water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other ____other types of vegetation b.
