5k. Is any part of the project area within a 100-year floodplain? [help]
☒ Yes ☐ No ☐ Don’t know
5l. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]
Riparian vegetation at the site consists of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), snowberry
(Symphoricarpos albus), red alder (Alnus rubra), black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), bigleaf maple (Acer
macrophyllum), English ivy (Hedera helix), and sparse patches of sword fern (Polystichum munitum). There is
some overhanging vegetation that extends past the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) resulting in organic
matter input to the river system. Riparian vegetation south of the bridge on the right bank (downstream
orientation) is less intact and shows more signs of degradation and larger openings are visible in the overstory.
Both the right and left banks have been armored with riprap comprised of rock and broken concrete to protect
the east and west ends (respectively) of the pier support system.
The left bank is distinguished by a very steep, almost vertical, embankment upstream of the west pier.
Downstream from the pier is a steep, sparsely vegetated slope that has been armored with riprap at the toe. The
slope is composed of loosely consolidated sands and gravels. Similar to the right bank, riparian vegetation on
the left bank is generally degraded south of the bridge near the top of the steep embankment. There is some
overhanging vegetation north of the bridge that extends past the OHWM resulting in large organic matter input to
the river system. Vegetation is not present below the OHWM on either bank.
5m. Describe how the property is currently used. [help]
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) owns the property which is used as a pedestrian
and bicycle trail as part of the Cedar River trail system, which originates in the Renton area (Sheets 1 and 3) and
runs south adjacent to WA-169 where it terminates near Landsburg Park.
5n. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. [help]
The majority of the parcels adjacent to the south of the project parcel are single-family residences. The City
owns the parcels to the north, and these parcels are used as a parking area for site access to the Cedar River
trail. The City also owns the vacant parcels to the west and southwest of the project parcel.
5o. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s) and current
condition. [help]
The primary structure on the project parcel is the pedestrian bridge, which allows pedestrians and cyclists to
cross the Cedar River along the Cedar River trail. The pedestrian bridge traverses the Cedar River from east to
west and comprises a steel trestle superstructure, substructures (piers and abutments on the east and west
banks), a concrete deck, pedestrian guardrails, and various timber trestle elements (Sheets 4 to 6).
5p. Provide driving directions from the closest highway to the project location, and attach a map. [help]
Take 1-405 N toward Renton.
Take Exit 4 from I-405 N.

Part 6–Project Description
6a. Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. [help]
The City Parks Department proposes maintenance repairs of an existing pedestrian bridge over the Cedar
River in Renton, Washington (Sheet 2). The proposed repairs include elements that occur within and over the
Cedar River. Repairs will also consist of actions that occur in uplands adjacent to the river.
6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [help]
The timber elements of the bridge and approach trestle were the subject of BergerABAM’s 2017 and 2018
inspections, which found degradation in two of the timber piles supporting the north abutment and in some of
the timbers in the pad supporting the steel truss bridge. Timber facing for the abutment has deteriorated and
been lost over time. The loss of fill material behind the facing has weakened the support of the abutment. The
proposed repairs will rebuild the abutment within its current footprint by repairing timber piles,
repairing/replacing timber facing, and replacing lost material with riprap behind the facing.

methods and equipment to be used. [help]
Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.
Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.
In- and Over-water Repairs
Proposed project activities that are to occur in water include the repairs to the damaged west pier. This
includes the replacement of piles, timber facing, and riprap behind the facing. Accumulated debris observed in
the steel truss will also be cleaned to minimize future deterioration of the structure.
Piles
Two 12-inch timber piles at the west bridge pier will be replaced with12-inch steel pipe piles. Existing timber
piles will be cut off just below mudline and hoisted out by a boom crane. Piles will be installed by setting the
new steel pile on the existing pile stub, preloading the new steel pile, and welding the pile extension into
place.
Timber Facing
Failing timber facing above and below the OHWM will be removed, replaced in kind, and secured with lag
bolts. Timber facing in good condition will be removed and reinstalled with lag bolts. The facing will be
secured to the new steel piles with U-bolts. A total of approximately 10 timber boards will be replaced (Sheets
5 and 6).
Riprap
Pier fill material that has been lost over time will be replaced with riprap after the timber facing is repaired.
Riprap will be confined to the footprint of the pier and will be contained by the piles and timber facing. The
placement of additional riprap will not expand the footprint of shoreline armoring in the project area. Light,
loose pieces of riprap will be placed in an approximate 4-foot linear section at the base of the west bridge
timber piles (Sheets 5 and 6). Riprap placement will be per 2018 WSDOT standards ([9-13.1(4)] Hand Placed
Riprap). Hand-placed riprap will be nearly rectangular in shape and 60 percent of the hand-placed riprap will
have a volume of no less than 1 cubic foot. All riprap stones will be greater than 6 inches thick.
Organic Loose Debris Removal
Additionally, the applicant proposes to remove the loose organic debris by hand within the bridge trestle.
Debris has collected over time in the steel trusses and needs to be removed to prevent long-term
deterioration. Debris removal will be fully contained and the contractor will not allow debris to enter the river
below.
Adjacent Upland Repairs
Adjacent upland repairs to the bridge trestle include repairs made to the intermediate transverse frames of the
trestle. For these repairs, loose debris will be contained and removed by hand. Struts will be trimmed above
the rivets and steel angles will be installed and bolted into place. The center gusset splice will be installed and
welded prior to welding steel bars to the angles. The contractor will employ appropriate BMPs for the upland
repairs to prevent impacts to the Cedar River.
6f. What are the anticipated start and end dates for project construction? (Month/Year) [help]

In Part 8, “waterbodies” refers to non-wetland waterbodies. (See Part 7 for information related to wetlands.) [help]
☒ Check here if there are waterbodies on or adjacent to the project area. (If there are none, skip to Part 9.)
8a. Describe how the project is designed to avoid and minimize adverse impacts to the aquatic environment.
[help]
☐ Not applicable
The proposed project is confined to the limits of the existing pier structure. Replacement of timber pile and
facing will not expand the footprint of the existing structure and will not further encroach into the Cedar River.
Replacement of backfill material (riprap) will occur behind the facing. The proposed project will not result in a
loss of waters of the Unites States and thus will have no effect on the surrounding aquatic habitat.
In addition, the following minimization measures and best management practices (BMPs) will be employed
during construction to minimize project impacts.
Minimization Measures
Over-water work will be conducted only during the approved in-water work window for salmon and bull
trout in the Cedar River (16 July to 31 August).
Project construction will be completed in compliance with Washington State Water Quality Standards
(Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173-201A), including
Petroleum products, fresh cement, lime, concrete, chemicals, or other toxic or deleterious materials
will not be allowed to enter surface waters.
There will be no discharge of oil, fuels, or chemicals to surface waters or onto land where there is a
potential for reentry into surface waters.
Fuel hoses, oil drums, oil or fuel transfer valves, fittings, etc., will be checked regularly for leaks, and
materials will be maintained and stored properly to prevent spills.
The contractor will prepare a spill prevention, control, and countermeasures (SPCC) plan, and it will be
used during all demolition and construction operations. A copy of the plan with any updates will be
maintained at the work site.
The SPCC plan will outline BMPs, responsive actions in the event of a spill or release, and notification
and reporting procedures. The plan will also outline management elements, such as personnel
responsibilities, project site security, site inspections, and training.
The SPCC plan will outline the measures to prevent the release or spread of hazardous materials
found on site or encountered during construction but not identified in contract documents, including
any hazardous materials that are stored, used, or generated on site during construction. These items
include, but are not limited to, gasoline, diesel fuel, oils, and chemicals.
Applicable spill response equipment and material designated in the SPCC plan will be maintained at
the job site.
General BMPs
Checking equipment for leaks and other problems that could result in the discharge of petroleum-based
products or other material into the water.
Corrective actions will be taken in the event of any discharge of oil, fuel, or chemicals into the water,
including the following.
Containment and cleanup efforts will begin immediately upon discovery of the spill and be completed
in an expeditious manner in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Spill response will
take precedence over normal work. Cleanup will include proper disposal of any spilled material and
used cleanup material.
ORIA-16-011 Page 10 of 18
The cause of the spill will be ascertained and appropriate actions taken to prevent further incidents or
environmental damage.
Spills will be reported to the Washington State Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) Northwest Regional
Spill Response Office at 425/649-7000.
Excess or waste materials will not be disposed of or abandoned waterward of the OHWM or allowed to
enter waters of the state. Waste materials will be disposed of in an appropriate manner consistent with
applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
Demolition and construction materials will not be stored where upland runoff can cause materials to enter
surface waters.
Oil-absorbent materials will be present on site to use in the event of a spill or if any oil product is observed
in the water.
8b. Will your project impact a waterbody or the area around a waterbody? [help]
☒ Yes ☐ No
8c. Have you prepared a mitigation plan to compensate for the project’s adverse impacts to non-wetland
waterbodies? [help]
If Yes, submit the plan with the JARPA package and answer 8d.
If No, or Not applicable, explain below why a mitigation plan should not be required.
☐ Yes ☒ No ☐ Don’t know
The proposed project is a routine maintenance and repair activity that is confined to the limits of the existing
structure. The proposed maintenance repairs will be conducted within the original footprint of the structure
and will not result in the expansion of the existing footprint. Temporarily disturbed areas will be restored to
their previous condition. As such, a mitigation plan was not prepared for this project. However, best
management practices (BMPs) will be employed as necessary by the contractor to avoid and minimize project
impacts to the Cedar River.
