PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR
SIERRA HEIGHTS SANITARY SEWERS
LID # 335
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
BACKGROUND
There has been a historical problem with the on-site septic systems in the Sierra Heights
area. Several attempts have been made by property owners to have sewers installed in
the area. The latest large scale effort was when a portion of Sierra Heights annexed, to
the City, in 1987 with the expressed interest of abandoning their septic systems and
obtaining sewer service from Renton. In December 1988 an LID petition was submitted
to the City with a verification that 54% of the property owners had signed the petition.
The project was delayed as the City explored alternate funding sources. In 1991, the
Seattle - King County Health Department performed operational checks on the septic
systems in the area. Finding obvious failures at 39% of the sites with an additional 31 %
in apparent prefailure the Health Department recommended that the area be declared a
health hazard. The State Department of Health concurred and declared a Severe Health
Hazard in 1991. Because of the health hazard, the project qualified for a grant from the
Department of Ecology for up to $430,000. We have also received a low interest loan
from the State Department of Community Development to fund the remaining project
cost after the grant. Because of the declared health hazard the City has moved ahead
with an LID by resolution instead of following up on the petition submitted in 1988.
SIERRA HEIGHTS SANITARY SEWER
The Wastewater Utility has designed a sewer collection system for the Sierra Heights
area. Five alternative designs were considered for cost effectiveness and minimal
impacts to the adjacent slopes. The selected design is as shown in the two displays.
The proposed Sierra Heights Sewer has two component parts:
The conveyance or trunk line which will be installed from the existing Honey Creek
Interceptor to the LID area. This line, shown on the green map, has the potential of
providing service to the entire shaded area. The LID is shown by the dashed line.
The collector lines which will be the lines that are directly available for connection
will be installed to provide service to the LID area. This line, shown on the blue map,
has the potential of providing service to the entire shaded area. The LID is again
shown by the dashed line.
8/14/92 <1 > (OVER)
v/
ADJUSTMENT TO LID BOUNDARY
The large 5 acre parcel on the south west corner of the LID, belonging to Patricia Hess,
was inadvertently included in the boundary because it was part of the 1987 annexation.
This parcel is not within the area that the Health Department recommended for the health
hazard. We have communicated with the Health Department and they do not object to
the removal of this parcel from the LID. The proposed sewers will be adjacent to the
parcel for future connection if necessary. It is staffs recommendation that this parcel be
moved from the LID to the Special Assessment District.
POINTS OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE LID
The area encompassing the LID has had septic problems dating back at least from the
seventies.
The area has been declared a Severe Health Hazard by the State Department of Health.
This area is within zone 2 of Renton's sole source aquifer.
If an area wide solution (public sewers) is not pursued the health department will require
individual property owners to repair or replace their existing on-site systems or if not
possible the health department could condemn properties.
When this area was annexed in 1987 the property owners in the LID area were led to
believe that sewer service would be forthcoming. This was the prime motivation for the
annexation.
Staff has spent a large amount of time developing a project that can serve the health
hazard area and that meets the requirements for alternate funding from the State.
This project has received a low interest loan from the State's Public Works Trust Fund
and a grant from the Department of Ecology's Centennial Clean Water Fund. The`later
reduces the cost of the project by approximately $430,000 while the former will reduce
the interest rate that will be charged for the LID. If we don't do the project now we will
lose these funds. You are aware government programs are being cut all the time. There
is no guarantee that these programs will be available at a later date or if this project
could re-qualify.
Per RCW 35.43.180, the City has the authority to proceed with any LID initiated by
resolution unless properties within the LID subject to 60% or more of the assessments
file signed protests. Provided, that such restraint shall not apply if the City council finds
and recites in the ordinance forming the LID that the improvements are necessary for the
protection of the public health and safety and that such ordinance is passed by a
unanimous vote of all Council members present.
8/14/92 <2>
VOW *4w
STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR THE LID
Staff recommends that council approve the LID with the boundary revised to exclude the
Hess property (parcel #64) and that council request that an ordinance be prepared for
the next council meeting forming the LID.
POINTS OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
While the sewer is being installed for the LID it has the potential to benefit properties
outside the LID. It would not be equitable for the properties within the LID to pay for
sewers and allow adjacent parcels to connect at a later date without paying their fair
share.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Staff recommends that council give approval to staff to move ahead with this project
with the understanding that a special assessment district will be formed to provide fair-
share cost participation from parcels who benefit, at a later date, from the sewers
installed for the LID.

11. Proposal description:
The Sierra Heights neighborhood, defined as the study shown
in Figure 2 of the Wastewater Collection Facilities
Preliminary Design Report, was developed in the 1950s and
60s. The neighborhood is located on top of a plateau, south
of May Creek and east of Honey Creek in unincorporated King
County and a portion lies in the City of Renton. The area
is currently served by on-site sewage disposal systems.
Complaints of failing on-site sewage disposal systems have
been filed with the county since the early 70s. King County
Health Department conducted an informal sanitary survey in
1976. The results of the survey were not documented. On
several occasions, residents of the neighborhood pursued
having sewers extended to the area. However, the City of
Renton's policy for sewer extension, requires that the area
4 to be served be within the city limits. Therefore,
annexation was required prior .to extension of the sanitary
rl service; several subsequent attempts at annexation failed.
The sewer project never went forward as the anticipated
costs of construction were higher than the residents could
i ( afford. The high costs were attributed to the conveyance
system, which would have to descend the Honey Creek Canyon
or utilize a pump and force main system. Additionally, the
number of residents expected to pay for the improvement was
IJ small.
A formal sanitary survey was conducted again in the spring
Of 1991 by Seattle-King County Department of Public Health.
As a result of the survey, part of the neighborhood has been
designated a SEVERE PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD (which is defined
as an area in which the potential exists for disease
transmission through raw sewage being discharged to the
surface of the ground or into surface water) and the
-`� remainin
` g part an AREA OF HEALTH CONCERN (which is defined
' as an area- in which the systems are not functioning
`J optimally and have thebecomin otential for
. health hazard) . p g a public
Additionally, a preliminary plat has been filed for lands
located between the SEVERE PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD and Honey
Creek. To develop this plat, sewers will be required, as
on-site systems will not meet the soil requirements.
The City of Renton recognizes the opportunity to combine the
area's two sewer needs into one project potentially having a
lower individual cost per user and ultimately achieving an
affordable project which will eliminate the health hazard.
9--\user\6137\envcheck
October 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq A-3
Adequate space for replacement of on-site systems is not
available for the lots within the study area. Even if space
were available, the unfavorable soils and high ground water
conditions would prohibit their use to remedy the problem;
sewering is the recommended solution. Potential sewering
alternatives are identified below.
Alternate A
Alternate A is construction of a gravity collection system u
which would serve the entire study area except the
residences located south of S.E. 104th Street on 125th
Avenue South and S .E. 105th Street. This alternate will
provide service to the entire HEALTH HAZARD AREA and the
majority of the area of concern. The residences not served
currently have working on-site systems and are located in
the area of health concern. t
Service to 188 homes or lots is provided by this alternate.
Gravity conveyance would be provided for the collection
system via a main in an easement which would follow a
extension of S.E. 104th Street west, down the Honey Creek
Canyon to the existing Honey Creek Interceptor.
{
If the, area not -served by this alternate were to construct
sewers in the future, either` a pump station or a separate 3►
conveyance line down the ravine to the Honey Creek L
Interceptor would be required.
Alternate B
Alternate B is based on construction of a gravity collection
system which would serve the entire study_ area. The
collection .system would%serve 147 homes or lots. Gravity
conveyancewouldbe provided via a main which would flow
.west on an easement- from the south''end of 126th Avenue South `
down the ravine to the Honey'Creek Interceptor. Either a .
creek crossing or a deflection of the alignment at the base
of the ravine will be required to connect to the
interceptor.
Alternate C
Alternate C is based on construction of a gravity collection
which would serve the entire study area except the residents
located south of S .E. 104th Street on 125th Avenue S.E. and
S.E. 105th Street. The collection system would serve 188
homes or lots in this alternate. Gravity conveyance would
be provided via a main which would descend the canyon,
flowing southwesterly from the west end of S.E. 104th Street
to the Honey Creek Interceptor. The connection point would `1
g:\user\6137\envcheck
October 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq A-4
approximately be located where Alternate B would connect
if the alignment of B were deflected. This route would
traverse lands owned by the City and intended for a future
park. A creek crossing would not be required on this
alignment.
As for the area not served in the present layout, gravity
service can be attained in the future by running a line from
S.E. 105th Street west to where it will intersect with the
new conveyance line. This will require easements on private
property. But neither a pump station nor a independent line
descending the canyon is needed. If this alternate is
selected, the design will incorporate provisions to allow
r
for ease of connection to the conveyance line.
Alternate D
Alternate D is based on construction of a gravity collection
system which would serve the entire study area except the
same area excluded in the discussion of Alternate C. The
collection system would serve 188 homes or lots. Gravity
conveyance would be provided via a main which would descend
the Honey Creek Canyon flowing to the west from the end of
j the proposed S.E. 102nd Court (in the Honey Creek Ridge
preliminary plat) to the existing Honey Creek Interceptor.
To sewer the area which would not be immediately served,
either a pump station or a second line descending the canyon
would be required.
Alternate E
Alternate E is based on construction of a gravity collection
system, which would serve the SEVERE HEALTH HAZARD AREA.
The service area would be reduced from the study area
boundaries and serve the area described as follows: Union
Avenue N.E. on the east, 128th Avenue S.E. on the west, S.E.
102nd Street on the north and S.E. 104th Street on the
south. The collection system would serve 107 homes or lots.
Gravity conveyance would be provided via a main extended to
the south to an existing gravity sewer with available grade.
This existing sewer is located on Shelton Avenue N.E. mid
block between N.E. 19th and N.E. 17th Avenues. This route
will traverse private lands with obstructions and tight
conditions where easements will be required.
This service area could be expanded to serve the area
located to the west of the proposed service area, but
gravity service is only feasible up to and including 126th
Avenue S .E. north of 104th Street. The lands to the south
and west of this would require a pump station or a separate
g.\user\6137\envcheck
October 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq A-5
gravity line descending the Honey Creek Canyon to provide
service.
12 . Proposal location:
The Sierra Heights neighborhood lies partially in the
northern part of the City of Renton and partially outside of
the city limits, within Section 4 of Township 23 North and
Range 6 East. The service area is bounded by Honey Creek on
the west, Southeast 100th Street on the north, Union Avenue
on the east, and approximately S.E. 104th st. on the south
(see vicinity map in design report) . The specific service
area boundary will vary depending on the collection
alternate selected. The current land use of the area is :
single family housing which was developed in the 1950s.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site:
The proposed wastewater collection system will be
constructed in the Sierra Heights neighborhood in north
Renton and adjacent King County. As part of the Renton
Highlands, the site is flat to gently rolling plateau
located just west of the foothills which eventually rise
to Squak and Tiger Mountains. Honey Creek and its
associated steep ravine lies in the west and southwest
portion of the project area from where it flows 0 . 3 mile
into May Creek. The conveyance pipeline from the
.+ proposed wastewater collection system is planned to be
routed down the steep ravine to the existing sewer
interceptor line adjacent to Honey Creek, under
Alternate C.
Paragraphs b, c, and d are taken from a GeoEngineers
memorandum presenting preliminary geotechnical results on
the Honey Creek Sanitary Sewer Alignment dated July 31,
1991.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site?
The slope on route generally faces southwest. Elevations
range from approximately 400 feet on the plateau to 225.
feet in the creek channel. The slope is generally
inclined at 40, to 100 percent (22 to 45 degrees) ; the
steepest part of the slope is typically between
;i elevations ' 300 and 325 feet. Locally the slope is near
vertical. The slope is dissected by numerous gullies,
two of which are actively eroding.
-' c. What general types of soils are found on the site?
The site is underlain by glacial till over glacial
advance outwash. Borings on the upland plateau
encountered dense to very dense till to the greatest
depth explored (35 feet) . The slope is largely underlain
by the glacial advance outwash which consists of a poorly
graded fine sand. The sand is generally medium dense to
dense, although the upper approximately 3 feet is
generally loose to very loose. A thin (2 feet thick)
silt bed is exposed at various places on the lower part
of the slope; springs were observed to be associated with
this silt bed. A thickness of approximately 20 feet of
very dense till is present at the top of the slope.
g/uscr/6137/cnvchcck
October 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq B-1
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable F
soils in the immediate vicinity?
Several recent slope movements, involving approximately
20 to 50 cubic yards of material each, were observed near
the base of the slope. Slope movements directly above
Honey Creek are apparently associated with undercutting
of the stream bank, whereas slope movements above the
road adjacent to Honey Creek are apparently associated
with ground water seepage.
Many of the conifers across the slope face have bowed
trunks, and several were observed to be leaning
downslope. Based on the relative uniformity of the slope
and lack of associated features indicating mass movement111
it is likely that this is due to soil creep in the loose,
near-surface soils.
Two gullies on the site are actively eroding. One of
these gullies, located near the power lines, is
characterized by near-vertical, unvegetated walls as high
as approximately 30 feet. The walls of this gully are
subject to sloughing, spalling, and/or caving. The other
gully is located approximately 500 feet north of the
power- lines and is characterized by an actively eroding
headwall area. The approximate locations of these
gullies are shown on the site plan in Appendix B of thej
design report. !1
The Honey Creek Canyon is considered both an erosion and
landslide' hazard- in the King County Sensitive Areas Map "
Folio.
- e. Describe the purpose, type,' and approximate quantities of
any- filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of
lfill. r .
Table 1 summarizes` excavation quantities. Trenching the
piping for the collection system will require from 12, 700
to 15,700 cubic yards'of imported fill, depending on the
alternative, which will be Type A pit run material.
Trenching the connector pipeline down the Honey Creek
Canyon will require excavating a trench 6 feet deep,
3 feet wide, and from 450 to 600 feet in length. Most
of the backfill will also be pit run.

r f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing,
construction, or use?
Erosion could occur during construction of the conveyance
1 pipe down the Honey Creek Canyon because of the steep
slope and sandy unstable soil. It is much less likely
erosion-would occur during construction of the wastewater
collection system within the Sierra Heights neighborhood
!' 31 proper because- most of the work will be within existing
roads and driveways.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with
` impervious surfaces after project construction?
There will be no significant net change in the area of
t impervious surface relative to existing conditions.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other
?: impacts to the earth, if any:
Construction plans and specifications will include
provisions requiring the contractor to control erosion
and sedimentation. This will be achieved by a
combination of structural control measures, cover
' ! measures, and construction practices in conformance with
the requirements, methods of analysis, and design
standards described in Chapter 5 (Erosion/Sedimentation
Control Plan and Practices) of the King County Surface
Water Design Manual, as adopted by the City of Renton.
Straw bales, filter fabric, and silt fencing are some of
the more common control methods used during construction.
Prompt revegetation and/or structural stabilization will
g/uscr/6137/cnvchcck
December 13,1991/11:14 AM/jq B-3
ltw *900
be included in the specifications. Special care will be
exercised in constructing the conveyance pipeline down to
the interceptor in Honey Creek Ravine. A geotechnical
engineering firm with known expertise in the particular
area of concern will make periodic on-site inspection
during construction. Daily site visits will be made
during construction on the slope. Field reports will be ;
made on each visit. The geotechnical support will be f
available for emergencies.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the {f,
proposal during construction and when the project is y
completed?
During construction, air quality will be temporarily
impacted by dust from trenching, digging, filling, etc. ;
diesel emissions from equipment may also occur.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor which
may affect your proposal? _
There are no known offsite.. sources of emissions of odor
which will .affect our proposed. project.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other
impacts to air, if any:
During construction, standard emission prevention
equipment will be used on all equipment. Dust will be
controlled by maintaining adequate moisture conditions in `
the soil. . .
3. Water
a. surface:
(1) Is there any surface water body on or in the
.
immediate vicinity of the site? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what
stream or river it flows into.
Honey Creek flows at the bottom of a steep ravine
located along the west and southwest portion of the
project area. The creek with banks averaging
approximately seven feet apart flows with about 2
cfs average flow in the summer months and '3 to 8 cfs
during the winter. Honey Creek flows into May Creek
approximately 0.3 mile downstream from the project
area, and eventually discharges to Lake Washington.
I
g/user/6137/envcheck
December 13,1991/11:14 AM/jq B-4
(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.
Construction of the wastewater collection system in
Sierra Heights includes routing a conveyance sewer
j line down the eastern slope of Honey Creek Canyon to
join with an existing sewer interceptor line which
runs along the bottom of the ravine generally east
of the creek bed. For Alternatives A, C, D, and E,
no work will be necessary within the creek bed;
construction will occur immediately adjacent to the
creek. Alternative B requires a creek crossing or
j deflection of the alignment to meet the existing
interceptor.
i (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 construction will occur within the creek bed or
significant wetland. As addressed under the
discussion on vegetation, there are a series of
ground water seeps which occur along the base of the
hillside which saturate small areas of ground,
allowing buttercup and horsetail -to grow. Depending
on the route chosen, construction could occur
_within one of these small seep areas which could
technically be considered a, wetland. The average
area of .one,of these seeps is. approximately 25
square feet.
(4) Will -the proposal require surface urface water withdrawals
• or diversions?
`J The proposed project does not re ire withd
diversion of water from Honey Creek. rawal or
j (5) Does the proposal lie within a loo-year Flood Plain?
If so, note location on the site plan.
I Most of the project area is well outside the
100-year flood plain. The point of connection for
the new connector pipe to the existing sanitary
interceptor is immediately adjacent to Honey Creek.
Although not mapped as such, it is likely this area
is within a 100-year flood plain.

)
(6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste
material to surface waters?
The proposal does not involve discharge of waste : E
material to Honey Creek.
b. Ground Water:
(1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be
discharged to ground water?
3�
With establishing the connection of the conveyance
pipe to the existing interceptor, the trench at the
base of the ravine could have to be dewatered and
the ground water discharged consistent with DOE
Water Quality Modification Permit. At this time,
the volume of water to be discharged is unknown.
(2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into
Lq
the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if
any.
The proposed project does not involve discharge of
waste material into the ground. Construction of the
sewer pipeline will eliminate existing discharge
from on-site sewage systems in the area.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water) :
(1) Describe the source of runoff andmethodof
collection and disposal, if any. ' -where will this
water flow? ' Will this water flow into other waters?
If so, describe.
There willi"be -.no increase, of impervious surfaces and
consequently stormwater 'runoff� as a consequence of
this completed project. All pipelines will be
constructed below grade. As' discussed in the a
section on soils, the potential of erosion into
Honey Creek exists because of the steep slopes of
existing interceptor. The contractor will be
the ravine and the proximity of the creek to the ,1
J
instructed in the contract specifications to follow
the best management practices which are contained in 1
the King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Effectiveness of erosion control measures in place
will be assured through on-site inspections
conducted by the City of Renton, Brown and Caldwell,
and GeoEngineers (the soils subconsultant) .

(2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface
waters? If so, generally describe.
A rupture in the pipeline due to an accident could
allow sewage to discharge to Honey Creek. Every
engineering precaution will be exercised to prevent
this event from occurring. A City inspector will be
on-site daily to ensure proper construction
techniques and safeguards.

I d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground,
and runoff water impacts, if any:
I Please see soils section where erosion is discussed in
") detail.
4. Vegetation
ll a. Vegetation found on site:
1 The hillside is vegetated with vegetation typical of a
tertiary growth mixed deciduous-coniferous woodland. The
upper story includes large big-leaf maple, small to
moderate sized red alders, and relatively small conifers
such as Douglas fir, hemlock, and cedar (1 to 2 feet in
' 1 diameter) . Early logging operations are evidenced by
stumps notched to hold springboards. Smaller stumps cut
with a chain saw indicate later logging. Because of the
steep hillsides and soft sandy soil, none of the stumps
were larger than approximately 3 feet - in diameter. A
number of the big-Leaf maple trees were of greater
diameter.
i� The steep woodland .floor is covered with a number of
herbaceous plants which commonly occur in the area.
Plants:-:in bloom,at the, time of the survey (August 5,
1991) included large-leaf avens, Richardson's geranium,
tansy ragwort, and hairy cat's ear. Stinging nettle,
bleeding heart, Oregon fairy bells, bracken, sword fern,
and several species of grass were also evident. Shrubs
included vine maple, red elderberry, thimbleberry, salal,
scotch broom, and Oregon grape.
Because of steep hillsides, Honey Creek is confined to a
relatively narrow bed (5 to 8 feet) as it courses through
the project area during low and moderate flows. With
increases in . flow from precipitation, the creek can
quickly fill its banks and occasionally flood over the
banks, as shown by organic debris left in the lower area
of the hillside. Above the creek banks, vegetation is
only occasionally suggestive of saturated soils and
wetlands. These areas primarily occur where ground water
g/uscr/6137/cnvchcck
October 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq B-7
I%W *0# 511
seepage from the hillside flows into the creek and
supports communities of buttercup and horsetail .
Riparian and creekside vegetation includes trees such as
willow and red alder. Salmonberry comprises a shrub
layer in places . Buttercup, horsetail, veronica, deadly
nightshade, water parsley, curly dock, and canary-reed
grass grow along the ground.
b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or
altered?
Because most of the wastewater collection system for the
Sierra Heights area will be constructed primarily within
existing roadways, little vegetation will be impacted
during construction of this segment of the project.
Lateral pipes which connect the individual homes to a
conveyance pipe will be trenched either on lawns or
driveways. The lawns will be replanted.
The conveyance sewer line which proceeds down the Honey )
Creek Canyon and joins the existing sewer interceptor
adjacent to Honey Creek will be trenched within the T�
hillside, a distance of 450 to 600 feet depending on the
alternative. The trench will be 3 feet in width. The `
construction easement includes 20 feet on each side of
the trench midline. Most of the vegetation within this
0.4 to 0. 6-acre swath will be destroyed with -the
trenching and movements of the construction machinery
(Table 1) . The type of vegetation is similar to that
described in the above .section (4 .a) . All of the area
will be revegetated with native grasses; over several
years a shrub and sapling layer will develop in this area
similar to „the surrounding plant ' associations. l
c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or
near site:
There are no threatened or endangered species known to be
on or near the site. The Natural Heritage Program has -)
been contacted for confirmation.
d. List proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other
measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site,
if any: � )
The disturbed construction easement will be revegetated i
with native grasses. A shrub and sapling layer similar
to the adjacent plant communities should develop over
several growing seasons. The final design will seek to
avoid significant trees with the pipeline alignment.

5. Wildlife
a. Animals observed on or near the site:
i
Wildlife, due to its secretive, mobile nature, is harder
to observe than plants. Since vegetation and moisture
levels are prime components of habitat, the different
vegetative communities roughly correspond to habitat
types. Because most animals are mobile, they frequently
I utilize several different habitat types in carrying out
life processes. For example, coyotes, although
infrequently observed, are resident in the project area.
i These adaptable animals will usually remain in woodlands
during most of the day and feed in the more open terrain
of the study area at night.
Animals , which inhabit the forested and riparian sections
J of urbanized Puget Sound encompass the range from
microfauna through invertebrates to mammals. Several
mammals typical of this area are raccoon, long-tailed
weasel, . red fox, mountain beaver, deer mouse, and shrew.
Many birds nest and feed in the trees; typical of the
upper canopy are western tanager, cedar waxwing, western
wood peewee and the yellow-rumped- warbler. The lower and
ground levels of vegetation are havens for Wilson's
warbler, song sparrow, fox sparrow, rufous-sided towhee,
robin, and Swainson's thrush. The belted kingfisher,
ducks, -:.and great-.blue heron :.frequent Hdriey Creek. Garter
snakes and the northern alligator lizard inhabit the
IN forest floor, as do amphibians such as the western
redbacked salamander and the northwestern toad. The
inveirtebrate. fauna are numerous.
1 Aquatic fauna,.seem to :be ,plentiful along the creek as one
J can observe from turning over a mid-sized cobble within
,.the water. _ ;Caddis fly larvae was evident on the surface
of a number of rocks. -Insects and their larvae play an
�= especially important part in the ecological sequences of
the aquatic environment. ° Snails and crayfish serve as
food organisms for higher .trophic levels. Fish along
Honey Creek, including resident cutthroat trout, dace,
prickly sculpin, and several species of minnows, feed on
insects and micro-crustaceans. The lower stretches of
- i Honey Creek below the project area could be accessible to
coho salmon according to the Washington Department of
Fisheries Stream Catalogue. Steelhead and searun
cutthroat trout could also use this lower area (personal
communication, Bob Pheiffer, WDW, August 16, 1991) .

the site:
There are no threatened or endangered species knowni
to occur on or near the site. The Nongame Program of
the Department of Wildlife has been contacted for
confirmation.
C. Is this site part of a migration route?
Honey Creek Canyon probably serves as a localized
t
migration corridor for birds and mammals as they survive
in a heavily urbanized environment. Although resident V1
trout (probably both rainbow and cutthroat) are found, no J
anadromous runs occur through or above the project area
because of the many blockages to fish migration in the
stream in the form of boulders and organic debris.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife:
Revegetating the disturbed construction areas prior to
wet weather and observing best management practices will
reduce the potential for significant disturbances of
wildlife. I ,
6. Energy and. Iiatural. Resources
a. What kinds of energy will be used-to meet the completed
projectis energy needs?
No energy will be needed- for the completed project to
function. All flows in the connector -pipes and
interceptor are gravity driven. Diesel fuel will be
needed to,-run machinery during construction.
b. Would the project affect the potential use 'lof ''solar
-energy by adjacent properties?
- [J
This project will not affect the potential use of solar
energy by adjacent properties.
i1
c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included
in the plans of this proposal?
Flows in the conveyance and . interceptor pipelines will be
driven by gravity. Gravity flow eliminates the need of
pumping or lift stations which require an energy source.

7 . Environmental Health
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including
exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion,
spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result
of this proposal? If so, describe.
The impetus for this project is to reduce the danger of
ground water c-ontamination due to old on-site sewage
systems in the Sierra Heights area which were constructed
in marginal soils without reserve areas (adjacent land to
construct new drainfields) . The Seattle-King County
Department of Public Health has found elevated levels of
fecal coliforms and nitrates in the ground water.
Waste discharges into the interceptor will have to comply
with local, state, and federal regulations governing
waste disposal into sanitary sewers. Toxic, hazardous
and/or radioactive substances are not anticipated to be
I discharged into the proposed conveyance system.
b. Describe special emergency services that might be
required,
} There are no special emergency services which are
required as a consequence of this project.
} C. Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental
health hazards, if any:
Correct design and installation of the proposed
- � collection system and connector pipes will reduce the
potential for environmental hazard.
8. Noise:
a. What types of noise exist in the area which may affect
your project?
There are no major sources of noise within the project
area that would affect our proposed project.
b. What types and levels of noise would be created by or
associated with the project on a short-term or a long-
term basis? Indicate what hours noise would come from
the site.
During construction, various pieces of heavy equipment
will increase the overall background noise of the Sierra
Heights neighborhood during the normal working hours of
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Construction will occur over a period
from April to August of 1992 .
g/user/6137/envcheck
Octobcr 9,1991/11:13 AM/jq B-11

RE: Sierra Heights Sanitary Survey
Dear Ms. Gebbie:
We are requesting that you declare the area of Sierra Heights that is located within the city of Renton a
severe public health hazard. This community is currently experiencing severe problems with on-site sewage
disposal systems.
County Health Department staff have completed a door-to-door sanitary survey of the area and have found
obvious septic system failures (sewage discharging directly into storm drains or onto the ground at 39%
(24/62) of the sites evaluated In this area. A total of 181 sites were evaluated in this survey. The results of
the survey reveal that 24 out of 27 sites that were failing were concentrated in a particular area located within
the City of Renton.
We are concemed that there is a high potential for disease transmission in this community. Much of the
surfacing sewage discharges into storm drains that in tum discharge into creeks that feed Lake Washington.
Some of the drains empty directly onto the street. Contamination of the surface waters and storm drains has
been demonstrated through testing for fecal coliform levels. Sierra Heights is a community of modest family
homes. Resident and visiting children play in and near the storm drain outlets. Thus, there is great potential
for human disease resulting from contact with raw sewage which pollutes these areas.
The Seattle-King County Health Department is responding to this environmental health problem. We have
determined that the problem results from the poor soil conditions, high winter water table, small lots and
advanced age of the septic systems which characterize this community. These limitations cannot be
corrected through repairs to the existing systems. It is our opinion that the only feasible solution to this
problem is the installation of sanitary sewers in the area by the City of Renton.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Councilman Bill Reams, Chairman
County Processes Committee
FROM: Bob Bruce, Staff Assistant
RE: PROPOSED ORDINANCE 84-574 Approving the City of Renton Sewer System
Compre enstve Plan
ACTION REQUESTED:
The proposed ordinance will approve the 1983 City of Renton Sewer System
Comprehensive Plan pursuant to K.C.C. 13.24.010.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend DO PASS Proposed Ordinance 84-574
BACKGROUND:
K.C.C. 13.24.010 requires that comprehensive plans of agencies which
distribute water to parts of unincorporated King County must be approved by
the Council as a prerequisite to the granting of right-of-way franchises and
construction permits.
The service area for Renton 's sewer system generally coincides with the city's
boundaries but does include service to some parts of unincorporated King
County, therefore the need for Council approval . Significant areas include:
- Northeast Area - Contains a portion of the May Creek drainage basin ,
including the Honey Creek drainage area. The northeast most portion of
this area is not presently included in a county Local Service Area (LSA)
for sewer sery ci e. This area is covered by the Newcastle Community Plan.
The ultimate sewer system proposed to serve the May and Honey Creek basins
areas involves the extension of the existing METRO May Creek Trunk and
construction of a Honey Creek interceptor with a lift station. The latter
is particularly needed to eliminate sewage overflows at Renton 's Sunset
Pump (lift) station which has resulted in a sewer connection moratorium in
the area.
Northwest Area - The northwestern corner of the overall planning area
partoche Central Planning Sub-Area) includes King County Sewer and
Drainage Area #4 (Skyway-Olson Districts) which the county is presently in
the course of divesting to Water District No. 128.
The City of Renton, during the divestment process, considered extending
service to this area but concluded otherwise and recommended allowing
Water District 128 to operate the system with the service area boundary to
be adjusted generally along South 128th Street for future Renton sewer
service.
ISSUES:
1 . Area Outside Approved LSAs:
The Newcastle Community plan views on-site systems as the permanent
solutions to waste water disposal in the May Valley and the East Renton
Plateau. Residential lot sizes are accordingly limited to a minimum
15,000 square feet and are not included within the sewage Local Service
Area (LSA).
- Accordingly, the proposed ordinance contains a proviso that precludes the
extension of sewer service within the Renton plan 's service area but
outside of the approved LSA.
2. Interceptor and Trunk Line Construction - Proposals to construct a Honey
Creek Interceptor an extension to t e METRO May Creek Trunk occur mostly
within unincorporated King County.
- Accordingly, the proposed ordinance contains the following provisos:
-- The Honey Creek Interceptor shall be constructed in accordance
with county standards, and
-- Approval of the sewer plan does not constitute approval of the May
Creek Trunk extension. (This sh-a T be dealt with separately) .
3. County Sewer System Divestment and Service Area Overlap - The Renton sewer
plan claims the area sout o Sout 128th Street as part of its service
area. However, the county presently has a developer extension contract
with First City Properties, Inc. to provide sewer service to a parcel of
land south of South 128th Street, roughly between South 134th and Empire
Way South, and west of 76th Avenue South. The contract would be
transferrable to Water District 128 as a condition of the divestment of
the County Sewerage and Drainage District No. 4.
Accordingly, the proposed ordinance contains a further proviso that
exempts any area within the Renton sewer service area that is covered
by an existing developer extension contract with the County for sewer
service.
-- - 2 -
• °vws' wrr✓
CONCLUSION:
With the addition of the provisos discussed under ISSUES above, the Renton
Sewer Comprehensive Plan meets all the criteria contained in KCC 13.24 and
warrants approval .
