Anna Heckman ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® #PN-6153B, ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified Date: June 18, 2019 Contents Summary Introduction Findings and Recommendations Method of Assessment Site Map with Trees Located Tree Assessment Matrix Tree Protection Guidelines Critical Root Zone Explanation Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Summary A Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment was conducted on one hundred and three (103) trees in and surrounding the Boeing Apron E Expansion Project in the S1 parking lot in Renton, Washington. 26 trees are street trees and should be managed in conjunction with the city. Seventy (70) of the seventy-seven (77) trees on the property are significant by size and fourteen (14)significant trees are dead, dying, or diseased. This leaves fifty-six (56) significant trees to be retained or removed and mitigated for as needed. Tree retention calculations show that five trees require retention to meet the minimum tree retention standards. These trees should be protected through construction. Note: This document contains the Arborist Report for the Apron E Expansion and also the Lot S2 Firestation project no longer going forward. The Lot S2 assessment includes trees within the current project construction area that will be affected, see report below and the Tree Retention Land Clearing Exhibit. Boeing Apron E Expansion, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. June 18, 2019 Page 2 of 6 Introduction As requested by Aaron Luoma with HBB, I visited the Boeing S1 parking lot south of North 6th St along Logan Ave N. in Renton Washington on May 23rd and 24th, 2019. The purpose of this work was to map and assess the trees impacted by expansion of the airplane construction apron. Trees to be assessed are located in parking lot islands and in long planting strips along the edge of the current parking lot. A public multiuse pedestrian trail on the east side of the parking lot is located between a linear row of onsite retention trees and the City managed street trees along Logan Ave. N. A second linear strip of street trees borders the north property line along North 6th St. Trees were numbered with aluminum tags beginning with #201 on the south west side of the parking lot. Tags are nailed to the north side of the trunk at eye level. Trees are individually identified on the attached Tree Site Plan with photo and data for each tree provided in the attached Tree Assessment Matrix. Tree retention and land clearing regulations for the city of Renton; municipal code 4-4-130 Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations, identify Significant trees as 6 inches diameter and 8 inches for cottonwood or alder unless they are considered “dangerous”. Landmark trees are over 30 inches. Priority tree retention requirements (section H1b.) should be implemented in tree preservation selection on the site. Findings and Recommendations: Photo 1: Dead ‘Crimson King’ maple trees in the foreground on the west side of the parking lot and the columnar ‘Armstrong’ maples in the distance are on the east side of the parking lot. Boeing Apron E Expansion, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. June 18, 2019 Page 3 of 6 The fifty-five (55) trees in the interior parking lot islands have not been well maintained. Soils are very dry and compacted, and no mulch or organic layer remains from the initial planting. Many trees are in very poor condition and some are dead. Trees in larger planter strips or grown in groups were in better condition than the individual planting areas. Trees less tolerant to drought and heat such as the red maples (Acer rubrum) were in much poorer condition than adjacent, more drought tolerant shore pines (Pinus contorta). Multiple specimens have been structurally damaged beyond reasonable recovery. Some trees have major structural defects due to not having the tree stakes and ties removed (Photo 2). Others were not structurally pruned for balanced canopies when they were young. These trees have or will have structural failures that will impact their longevity on the site. The eastern side of the parking lot has many trees in good condition. These trees are the highest value to retain on the site. Fourteen (14) of the twenty-two (22) trees along the eastern edge of the parking lot can be retained as described in the 60% design. These Armstrong maples (Acer X freemanii ‘Armstrong’) have Perimeter Critical Root Zones (PCRZ) identified in the Tree Assessment Matrix. Trees chosen for retention should have the PCRZ drawn to scale on all plans. Information on the PCRZ can be found in the attached Critical Root Zone explanation sheet. Tree #265 has a split leader that will require significant cabling and pruning to retain safely. This tree is recommended for removal for construction at this time. Photo 2: Tree ties were not removed and have girdled the top of th ese trees. Though there is still living canopy, decay through the trunk impacts their longevity. Boeing Apron E Expansion, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. June 18, 2019 Page 4 of 6 Street trees were measured along Logan Ave and North 6th street. The eleven (11) American ash (Fraxinus americana) along Logan Ave are healthy despite the 4 to 8 inches of soil volume loss below the curb since they were planted. This soil volume loss will impact the long term health and stability of these street trees. These trees look to be an American ash, ‘Autumn Applause’ variety, based on early spring form and leaf structure. Fall color or paper documentation of the cultivar is recommended for confirmation if matching these trees in the new landscape is desired. The fifteen (15) Leprechaun ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica ‘Johnson’ PP 9136 Leprechaun™) along North 6th street are not significant trees. These trees are young and were pruned shortly after planting in 2014 resulting in tall skinny trunks that have poor structure. Many of these trees are in poor health and may not survive construction impacts even with the best protection. The healthier specimens could be successfully transplanted to other areas on the property. This species is a unique and interesting small tree selection. The recommendations provided balance the benefits of retaining trees on site with the reasonable ability for those trees to survive construction and provide benefits to the new site. Retention numbers are expected to change as site plans are altered. Example mitigation numbers were calculated for discussion and planning purposes, final numbers for the project should be calculated using the final retention and removal design. Recommendations: 1. Remove 14 significant and 2 non-significant dead and dying trees on the property. (#’s 201, 221, 230, 231, 235, 237, 238, 240, 241, 243, 245, 246, 249, 257, 261, 262) These trees are either dead, unhealthy beyond recovery given reasonable efforts, or are structurally damaged to a point where tree health has been compromised. Though small, these trees fit the definition of “dangerous” due to physical and structural integrity in the Renton tree code. These trees vary in health and structural deficiencies, but all are identified in the attached map and matrix as having no retention value. The sixteen (16) significant trees can be subtracted from the mitigation total in the mitigation calculation sheet. 2. Remove 41 significant and 5 non-significant trees for construction. (#’s202-208, 212, 219, 220, 222-229, 232-234, 236, 239, 242, 244, 247, 248, 250-256, 258-260, 263-269, 276, 277) These trees are viable and will require replacement if removed for construction. This calculation uses the 60% design for guidance. The number of trees retained or removed for construction is expected to change as designs develop. Trees proposed for removal are Priority 2 significant, non-native trees. 3. Retain and protect 14 of the Armstrong Maples. (#210, 211, 213-218, 270-275) and one red maple (#209). . These trees along the east side of the site should be protected prior to construction following the attached Tree Protection Guidelines. Supplemental irrigation and wood chip mulch should be installed to protect the soil and improve tree resilience prior to construction. Boeing Apron E Expansion, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. June 18, 2019 Page 5 of 6 Tree #271 is a “Priority 1 non-native tree over 18” diameter”, the red maple is part of a grove with tree # 210 and 211, and the remainder trees are “Priority 2 significant, non-native trees”. These trees are in the highest retention categories identified on the site. 4. Retain, protect, and manage the 11 American ash Street trees (#278-288) and the 15 Leprechaun ash trees (#289-303) per direction of the City. These trees are regulated and protected by the City of Renton. Tree health and retention values vary and are identified on the attached map and matrix. These data provide documentation of pre-construction condition in case of incident during or post construction. Trees #287, 300, and 301 are identified for removal in the 60% design. These trees will require City approval and mitigation in addition to the mitigation for the trees on the site per City direction. Conclusion: Most of the trees on the site will be removed for construction. Based on the number of trees on the site and the industrial zoning, only five (5) trees are required to be retained. This number does not change even if no trees were designated as dying or “dangerous”. Protecting the thirteen (13) Armstrong maples on the east side of the property satisfies the tree protection requirements for this area. If plans change and less than 5 trees will be retained on the site, the city will need to approve the mitigation option. This option will require at least 32 trees of 2- inch caliper size to be planted on the site to meet mitigation requirements. The street trees will require coordination with the City of Renton for protection requirements, removal and replanting options. The American ash along Logan Ave. can be retained and protected, the Leprechaun ash along North 6th are recommended to be relocated or replaced. Method of Assessment This Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment was conducted according to the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) training and methodology (see the attached Tree Risk Assessment Level Descriptions). While no one can predict with absolute certainty which trees will fail and which trees will remain healthy, by methodical process we can predict those most likely to fail by the conditions observed and take appropriate action to reduce or eliminate the potential hazard. The time frame for this Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment considers expected conditions and issues over the next year. Because tree conditions change over time, further assessment may be necessary in the future. Boeing Apron E Expansion, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. June 18, 2019 Page 6 of 6 Tree Risk Assessment Level Descriptions The tree risk assessment process is based on factors present at the time of assessment. Because trees are living, growing things that change in size and condition over time, the tree assessment process must also recognize and anticipate where and when future assessments should be performed. The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) training and methodology, developed and administered by the International Society of Arboriculture is the best available methodology for tree risk assessment at this time. There are three levels of assessment that may be considered and employed according to the expectations of the owner or manager, conditions of the site and of the trees involved: Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment: Includes a broad overview of an individual tree or group of trees near specified targets, conducted to identify obvious defects or other conditions of concern. A limited visual assessment typically focuses on identifying trees with imminent and/or probable likelihood of failure. Level 1 assessments do not always meet the criteria for a "risk assessment" if they do not include documented analysis and evaluation of individual trees. This level is typically used for large populations of trees as a means to quickly identify trees with imminent and/or probable likelihood of failure, at a specified schedule and/or immediately after storms. Level 1 assessments may be done as walk-by, drive-by or aerial patrols as requested by the tree owner or manager. They may not provide enough information to develop risk mitigation recommendations. They can help identify specific areas and/or trees for further inspection at Level 2 or 3. Trees found to require a Level 2 Basic Assessment are assessed, mapped and documented at the higher level at this time. Trees determined to need a Level 3 Advanced Tree Assessment are documented and recommended for additional testing and analysis. The owner is notified with options discussed. Level 2 Basic Assessment: This is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around the tree, looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. This basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or defects. Our Level 2 Basic Assessment Trees are all typically tagged, mapped and information gathered and retained for each tree. Risk mitigation recommendations may be derived from this level of inspection. Defects found in a Level 2 Basic Tree Assessment may require a Level 3 assessment for further testing and analysis. The owner is notified with options discussed. Level 3 Advanced Assessment: Advanced assessments are performed to provide more highly detailed information about specific tree components, defects, targets or site conditions. An advanced assessment is performed in conjunction with or after a Level 2 Basic Assessment if the assessor determines the need for (requires) additional information. This level is particularly useful where there are concerns about trees that may otherwise be of high value, or to obtain better information on how serious or extensive a particular defect is. The Level 3 Advanced Tree assessment may include but not be limited to a root crown inspection with air spade, Resistograph or Tomograph use to determine sound wood or an aerial crown inspection. The preliminary Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment if requested would help determine where field assessments at Level 2 and Level 3 will be needed.

Responsibilities: These Guidelines pertain to any disturbance, use or activity within the Critical Root Zone of any retained tree on this project. See attached Critical Root Zone Explanation for reference. The owner’s arborist and general contractor shall meet onsite before any site work begins, to review and designate the most appropriate methods to be used to protect the retained trees during construction. These guidelines apply to work provided by all contractors and sub-contractors on the project. The project consulting arborist shall be contacted prior to any work that may need to enter the tree protection fencing. Two days notice shall be provided to the project consulting arborist. A proposed method for work shall be provided to the arborist. This method shall be reviewed by the project consulting arborist and either approval and / or comments provided by the project consulting arborist prior to commencing works within the tree protection area. He or she should be notified within 8 hours should any injury occur to any protected tree or its larger roots (greater than 2-inch diameter) so that appropriate assessment and/or treatment may be made. 2. Soil Disturbance: No soil disturbance shall take place before tree protection fences are installed. All evaluated trees to be retained within these areas are clearly illustrated on the Site Plan. 3. Designated Tree Removals: The owner’s arborist and contractor shall confirm on site which trees are to be removed and those to be retained. Directional felling and removal of trees will be completed with great care to avoid any damage to the trunks, limbs, and critical root zones of the retained trees. 4. The Tree Protection Site Plan shows the recommended location of the Tree Protection Fence (TPF). Immediately after the clearing limits and grading stakes are set in the field, the owner’s arborist, during review and discussion with the contractor, will make a final determination on the tree protection requirements depending on construction limits and impact on major roots and soil condition. The arborist may adjust clearing limits in the field so that, in his/her opinion, tree roots and soils are protected while necessary work can proceed. 5. The Tree Protection Fence (TPF) shall be installed along the clearing limits, with special consideration of the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of trees to be preserved. The CRZ of a tree is generally described as an area equal to 1-foot radius for every 1-inch diameter of tree. For example, a 10-inch diameter tree has a CRZ of 10-foot radius. Work within the CRZ may be limited to hand work or alternate method of construction. The Tree Protection Fence (TPF) shall be constructed with steel posts driven into the ground with 6-ft. chain link fence attached. Upon consultation with the contractor, the arborist shall determine the placement of the fence and the extent and method of clearing that may be done General Tree Protection Guidelines By Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 2011-12 Page 2 of 3 near preserved trees. Additional follow-up determinations may be required as work progresses on the project. See attached Critical Root Zone Explanation. No parking, storage, dumping, or burning of materials is allowed beyond the clearing limits or within the Tree Protection Fence. The TPF shall not be moved without authorization by the owner’s arborist or City arborist. The TPF shall remain in place for the duration of the project. Work within this area shall be reviewed with and approved by the owner’s arborist. Call Urban Forestry Services, Inc. at 360-428-5810 with questions. 6. Silt Fence: If a silt fence is required to be installed within the Critical Root Zone of a retained tree, the bottom of the silt fence shall not be buried in a trench, but instead, folded over and placed flat on the ground. The flat portion of the silt fence shall be covered with gravel or soil for anchorage. 7. CRZ over Hardscape: Where the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) includes an area covered by hardscape, the TPF can be placed along the edge of the hardscape if and until it is removed. After hardscape removal, the available CRZ should be backfilled with topsoil up to 6 inches deep and protected with the TPF. Incorporation of topsoil into the existing sub-grade shall be determined by the consulting arborist. Where applicable a specification for topsoil will be provided or approved by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 8. Tree Protection Signs shall be attached to the fence only and shall be shown as required on the Site Plan. They should read “Protect Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of trees to be retained. No soil disturbance, parking, storage, dumping, or burning of materials is allowed within the Tree Protection Barrier. " Monetary Fines based on the appraised dollar value of the retained trees may also be included on these signs. Telephone contact details for the project consulting arborist should also be included in the sign. 9. Soil Protection within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ): Where vehicular access, temporary work pad or storage pad is required within the CRZ of any preserved tree that is not protected with hardscape, the soil shall be protected with 18” of woodchips and/or plywood or metal sheets to protect from soil compaction and damage to roots of retained trees. A biodegradable coir mat netting is recommended to be placed on the existing grade before woodchip placement to protect the condition and confirm the location of the existing grade. The netting is a valuable benchmark upon removal of the material within the CRZ. 10. Landscape Plans, Irrigation Design and Installation Details: Great care shall be exercised when landscaping within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of any tree. Roots of preserved trees and other vegetation shall not be damaged by planting or installation of irrigation lines The owner’s arborist shall review the Landscape Plan for any potential design and tree preservation conflicts and approve related irrigation and landscape installation activities within the CRZ of retained trees. A proposed method for work shall be provided to and approved by the arborist. 11. Backfill and Grade Changes: The owner’s arborist will determine to what extent backfilling may be allowed within the Critical Root Zone of a preserved tree, and if needed, the specific General Tree Protection Guidelines By Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 2011-12 Page 3 of 3 material which may be used. Grade cuts are usually more detrimental than grade filling within the CRZ and should be reviewed by the arborist well in advance of construction. 12. Tree Maintenance and Pruning: Trees recommended for maintenance and approved by the owner, shall be pruned for deadwood, low hanging limbs, and proper balance, as recommended for safety, clearance or aesthetics. All pruning shall be done by an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. ANSI A300 American Standards for Pruning shall be used. Limbs of retained trees within 10 feet or less, of any power line, depending on power line voltage, may only be pruned by a Utility Certified Arborist. This pruning must be coordinated with the local power company, as they may prefer to provide this pruning. 13. Underground Utilities: Utility installation within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of any retained tree shall be reviewed by the Project Consulting Arborist. A less root disturbing route or minimal impact installation method of utility installation may be discussed and recommended i.e. tunneling or trenchless excavation. Trenching through the Interior CRZ of a retained tree is not usually allowed. See CRZ Explanation to differentiate between the Perimeter and Interior CRZ. An Air spade and Vac., Truck may be required when utility installation is mandatory near a retained tree or other methodology such as trenchless excavation. 14. Root Pruning: Required work may result in the cutting of roots of retained trees. Cutting roots 2” or greater should be avoided. Potential root pruning needs should be reviewed in advance with the Project Consulting Arborist to minimize potential root fracturing and other damage. Severed roots of retained trees shall be cut off cleanly with a sharp saw or pruning shears. Applying pruning paint on trunk or root wounds is not recommended. Severed roots shall be covered immediately after final pruning with moist soil or covered with mulch until covered with soil. Excavation equipment operators shall take extreme care not to hook roots and pull them back towards retained trees. In all cases, the excavator shall sit outside of the CRZ. Soil excavation within the CRZ shall be under the direct supervision of the owner’s arborist. 15. Supplemental Tree Irrigation: If clearing is performed during the summer, supplemental watering and/or mulching over the root systems within the Tree Protection Fencing of preserved trees may be required by the owner’s arborist. The arborist should be notified of the proposed schedule for clearing and grading work. Supplemental watering and mulching over the root systems of roots impacted or stressed trees are strongly recommended to compensate for root loss and initiate new root growth. Long periods of slow drip irrigation will be most effective. A large coil of soaker hose starting at least 18" from the trunk and covering the Interior Critical Root Zone area is recommended. Water once per week and check soils for at least 12 inches infiltration. This work shall be under the direct supervision of the owner’s arborist. 16. Additional Measures: Additional tree protection recommendations may be required and may be specified in Urban Forestry Services, Inc. report(s). 17. Final Inspection: The owner’s arborist shall make a final site visit to report on retained tree condition following completed work and shall report to the city to release the bond for the retained trees. Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 15119 McLean Rd. Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Title: Critical Root Zone (CRZ) Explanation Source: Urban Forestry Services, Inc Jim Barborinas, ISA Certified Arborist PN-0135 ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist #356, Tree Risk Assessor Qualified Date: 2018 Not to Scale The Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of a tree is established on the basis of the trunk diameter. The CRZ is a circular area which has a radius of 12 inches for every inch diameter of trunk measured at 4.5 feet above grade. Root systems will vary both in depth and spread depending on size of tree, soils, water table, species and other factors . However, this CRZ description is generally accepted in the tree industry. Protecting this entire root zone area should result in no adverse impact to the tree, except for potentially increased exposure. The above CRZ drawing has been further differentiated into the ’Perimeter’ (PCRZ) and ‘Interior’ (ICRZ) to help define potential impact and required Post Care. Generally, the full PCRZ is considered the optimum amount of root protection for a tree. As one encroaches into the “Perimeter CRZ, but not into the “Interior CRZ” the greater Post Care the tree would require to remain alive and stable. The ‘Interior CRZ is half the radius of the full PCRZ. Disturbance into the ICRZ could destabilize or cause the tree to decline. The ‘Interior’ CRZ should never be disturbed if the tree is to have any chance of survival. This ‘Interior’ CRZ would approximately equal the size of a rootball needed to transplant this tree which in turn would require extensive Post Care and possibly guying. This Post Care Treatment would include but may not be limited to; regular irrigation, misting, root treatment with special root hormones or growth stimulants, mulching, guying and monitoring for several years. Lack of this treatment would be fatal. Tree Trunk Critical Root Zone (CRZ) = 12” Radius for every Tree inch diameter is generally considered optimum protection. Perimeter Critical Root Zone (PCRZ) = the outer half of the CRZ The greater the disturbance allowed in this area, the greater Post Care is required. Interior Critical Root Zone (ICRZ) = the inner half of the CRZ Protecting only this area would cause significant impact to the tree, potentially life threatening, and would require maximum Post Care Treatment to retain the tree. See Post Care Treatment below. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 15119 McLean Rd. Mount Vernon, Washington 98273 1.

Reaction of Assessment The Assessment carried out was restricted to the Property. No assessment of any other trees or plants has been undertaken by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. Urban Forestry Services, Inc. is not legally liable for any other trees or plants on the Property except those expressl y discussed herein. The conclusions of this Assessment do not apply to any areas, trees, plants, or any other property not covered or referenced in this Assessment. 3. Professional Responsibility In carrying out this Assessment, Urban Forestry Services, Inc. and any Assessor appointed for and on behalf of Urban Forestry Services, Inc. to perform and carry out the Assessment has exercised a reasonable standard of care, skill, and diligence as would be customarily and normally provided in carrying out this Assessment. The Assessment has been made using accepted arboricultural techniques. These include a visual examination of each tree for structural defects, scars, external indications of decay such as fungal fruiting bodies, evidence of insect attack, discolored foliage, the condition of any visible root structures, the degree and direction of lean (if any), the general condition of the tree(s) and the surrounding site, and the current or planned proximity of property and people. Except where specifically n oted in the Assessment, none of the trees examined on the property were dissected, cored, probed, or climbed and detailed root crown examinations involving excavation were not undertaken. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the trees recommended for retention are healthy, no guarantees are offered, or implied, that these trees, or all parts of them will remain standing. It is professionally impossible to predict with absolute certainty the behavior of any single tree or group of trees, or all their component parts, in all given circumstances. Inevitably, a standing tree will always pose some risk. Most trees have the potential to fall, lean, or otherwise pose a danger to property and persons in the event of adverse weather conditions, and this risk can only be eliminated if the tree is removed.

Title: Boeing Parking Lot S2 Fire Station Development Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment Renton, Washington Prepared for: HBB Architects Attn: Mr. Aaron Luoma 215 Westlake Ave. North Seattle, Washington 98109-5217 Prepared by: Urban Forestry Service, Inc. Anna Heckman ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® #PN-6153B, ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified Reviewed by: Paul Hans Thompson, Consulting Associate Date: August 14, 2019 Contents Summary Introduction Findings and Recommendations Method of Assessment Site Map with Trees Located Tree Assessment Matrix Tree Protection and Soil enhancement Guidelines Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Summary A Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment was conducted on fifty-seven (57) trees in and surrounding the S2 parking lot in Renton, Washington. Seven trees (#’s 601-607) proposed for removal are non-significant by size and therefore do not require permitting. All fourteen (14) trees in the parking lot islands are non-significant, in poor condition, and should be replaced. The forty-three (43) trees along the south and east parking lot perimeter landscape are in good condition but would benefit from landscape maintenance. Twenty-one (21) of these (#’s 551- 572) are within the construction area and will require tree protection prior to construction. No mitigation plantings are required at this time. Boeing Lot 2 Fire station, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. August 14, 2019 Page 2 of 4 Introduction As requested by Aaron Luoma with HBB, I visited the Boeing S2 parking lot north of North 6th St and west of Logan Ave N. in Renton Washington on July 24th, 2019. The purpose of this work was to map and assess the trees that may be impacted by the development of the new fire station. The tree survey and 45% design documents provided by HBB identify trees in eight-foot- wide parking lot islands and along large planting strips on the south and east perimeter of the parking lot. While conducting the risk assessment, trees were identified with numbered aluminum tags beginning with #551 on the south west side of the parking lot. Tags are nailed to the north side of the trunk at eye level. Trees are individually identified on the attached Tree Site Plan with photo and data for each tree provided in the attached Tree Assessment Matrix. Tree retention and land clearing regulations for the city of Renton; municipal code 4-4-130 Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations, identify Significant trees as 6 inches diameter and 8 inches for cottonwood (Populous trichocarpa) or red alder (Alnus rubra) unless they are considered “dangerous”. Landmark trees are over 30 inches. Priority tree retention requirements (section H1b.) should be implemented in tree preservation selection on the site. Findings and Recommendations: Interior Parking Lot Area: The fourteen (14) trees in the interior parking lot islands near the planned fire station are in very poor condition (#594-607,). The soil is compacted and shallow and lacks organic matter. All these trees are non-significant as they are less than six inches diameter. No interior parking lot trees require mitigation for removal. Photo 1: The southern landscape perimeter is one contiguous landscape bed with ample rooting space across the width of the landscape bed onto the ROW edge of North 6th street. Boeing Lot 2 Fire station, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. August 14, 2019 Page 3 of 4 Perimeter Parking Lot Landscape Areas: The twenty-eight 28 (#551- 578, 608) perimeter landscape trees along the south edge of the parking lot between the future fire station and North 6th Street are in very good condition. Eight (8) of these trees are non- significant, six (6) of which are vine maples that are large for their size but do not measure as a significant tree. All of these trees are within the construction impact area and will be damaged if not protected. The fifteen (15) trees along the east perimeter landscape are similar to those along the south landscape in species size health and diversity. There are eleven (11) different species growing along the perimeter landscapes with significant tree diameters ranging from 6.0 – 17.1 inches. No exceptional trees are on this site. Both the south and east perimeter landscape beds have compacted soils with little organic matter and no mulch. All the trees in these planting beds will benefit from a soil renovation treatment using an air spade and compost or biochar with a wood chip mulch top dressing. The following recommendations balance the benefits of retaining trees on site with the reasonable ability for those trees to survive construction and provide benefits to the new site with a reasonable amount of investment. Tree retention numbers and mitigation requirements are expected to change as site plans are altered. Recommendations: 1. Remove 13 of the 14 non-significant trees inside the parking lot islands (#595-607) These trees are dead or in very poor condition. Parking lot islands that will remain through construction should have coarse wood chip mulch placed over the soil to the top of curb to protect curb edges and irrigation. Soils should be renovated, and new healthy trees planted after construction. 2. Protect the twenty eight (28) trees along the south perimeter landscape (#551-578, 608) within the construction area. Most of these trees are healthy and significant and will require replacement if removed or damaged during construction. The whole landscape bed should be fenced off using 6-foot chain link fence placed on the pavement side of the curb. Supplemental irrigation and coarse wood chip mulch should be installed to protect the soil and improve tree resilience prior to construction. Photo 2: Parking lot islands measure eight feet wide with two trees in each island. Red maple trees growing in the parking lot islands have over 50% dieback and are not worth retaining. Boeing Lot 2 Fire station, Tree Risk Assessment Urban Forestry Services, Inc. August 14, 2019 Page 4 of 4 If construction is required within the landscape bed an arborist should be on site to identify the Tree Protection Areas based on the size of the tree. No work should be conducted with the Tree Protection Area without an arborist on site to monitor this work. See the attached mature tree care and tree protection guidelines for further guidance. 3. Monitor the remaining 21 trees along the southeast perimeter landscape that boarder the construction site. The remaining trees along the east side perimeter landscape (#579-594) are likely outside the fenced off construction area and may only require monitoring for pre and post construction condition. These trees should be protected with fencing and soil protection similar to the other perimeter trees if the parking lot in this area is planned for construction staging or any activity associated with construction. 4. Enhance the soil within the existing south and east perimeter landscape beds. Improving the soil conditions will improve tree health and growth in these perimeter landscape beds. See the attached soil enhancement guidelines for further guidance. Conclusion: Based on the provided plans, no significant trees will be removed from this site, and with appropriate protection, the thirty-four (34) significant trees in the south and east perimeter landscape beds should survive standard construction impacts and continue to provide the required landscape buffer for the area. No trees are required to be planted for mitigation purposes at this time. If removal of any significant trees is required for future design changes, the tree retention and removal permit can be filled out and submitted to the city. Method of Assessment This Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment was conducted according to the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) training and methodology (see the attached Tree Risk Assessment Level Descriptions). While no one can predict with absolute certainty which trees will fail and which trees will remain healthy, by methodical process we can predict those most likely to fail by the conditions observed and take appropriate action to reduce or eliminate the potential hazard. The time frame for this Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment considers expected conditions and issues over the next year. Because tree conditions change over time, further assessment may be necessary in the future.

Irrigation • Water every 2 weeks between May 1 and September 30 when the soil is dry. • Use a trowel or soil probe to check the soil before and after watering. • If there are no sprinklers nearby, set up soaker hoses in loose rings beneath the trees. • Wet soil 12 inches deep to the area within the drip line. • Allow the soil to partially dry out between applications. • Cautions: o Avoid soaking the trunks. o Avoid over watering where turf or new landscape has been placed nearby 2. Mulch • Use coarse organic mulch 4 to 6 inches deep to retain moisture and suppress weeds. • Re-apply when mulch is less than 2-inches deep and/or the soil shows. • Use arborist wood chips, 'Pacific garden mulch', or similar product. Medium or fine bark mulches are not recommended. • Cautions: o Keep mulch off of the lower trunk and trunk flare. o Fertilizer is not recommended at this time. Avoid high fertilization to adjacent turf. Example Do not cover the trunk flare. Mulch can be thicker at the outer edge. Soaker hose can overlap turf. Use as many loops as needed to cover area under drip line. Minimum 1-foot away from the trunk, and about 1-foot or less between loops. General Tree Protection Guidelines By Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 2011-12 Page 1 of 3 General Tree Protection Guidelines With Critical Root Zone Explanation Attachment 1. Responsibilities: These Guidelines pertain to any disturbance, use or activity within the Critical Root Zone of any retained tree on this project. See attached Critical Root Zone Explanation for reference. The owner’s arborist and general contractor shall meet onsite before any site work begins, to review and designate the most appropriate methods to be used to protect the retained trees during construction. These guidelines apply to work provided by all contractors and sub-contractors on the project. The project consulting arborist shall be contacted prior to any work that may need to enter the tree protection fencing. Two days notice shall be provided to the project consulting arborist. A proposed method for work shall be provided to the arborist. This method shall be reviewed by the project consulting arborist and either approval and / or comments provided by the project consulting arborist prior to commencing works within the tree protection area. He or she should be notified within 8 hours should any injury occur to any protected tree or its larger roots (greater than 2-inch diameter) so that appropriate assessment and/or treatment may be made. 2. Soil Disturbance: No soil disturbance shall take place before tree protection fences are installed. All evaluated trees to be retained within these areas are clearly illustrated on the Site Plan. 3. Designated Tree Removals: The owner’s arborist and contractor shall confirm on site which trees are to be removed and those to be retained. Directional felling and removal of trees will be completed with great care to avoid any damage to the trunks, limbs, and critical root zones of the retained trees. 4. The Tree Protection Site Plan shows the recommended location of the Tree Protection Fence (TPF). Immediately after the clearing limits and grading stakes are set in the field, the owner’s arborist, during review and discussion with the contractor, will make a final determination on the tree protection requirements depending on construction limits and impact on major roots and soil condition. The arborist may adjust clearing limits in the field so that, in his/her opinion, tree roots and soils are protected while necessary work can proceed. 5. The Tree Protection Fence (TPF) shall be installed along the clearing limits, with special consideration of the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of trees to be preserved. The CRZ of a tree is generally described as an area equal to 1-foot radius for every 1-inch diameter of tree. For example, a 10-inch diameter tree has a CRZ of 10-foot radius. Work within the CRZ may be limited to hand work or alternate method of construction. The Tree Protection Fence (TPF) shall be constructed with steel posts driven into the ground with 6-ft. chain link fence attached. Upon consultation with the contractor, the arborist shall determine the placement of the fence and the extent and method of clearing that may be done General Tree Protection Guidelines By Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 2011-12 Page 2 of 3 near preserved trees. Additional follow-up determinations may be required as work progresses on the project. See attached Critical Root Zone Explanation. No parking, storage, dumping, or burning of materials is allowed beyond the clearing limits or within the Tree Protection Fence. The TPF shall not be moved without authorization by the owner’s arborist or City arborist. The TPF shall remain in place for the duration of the project. Work within this area shall be reviewed with and approved by the owner’s arborist. Call Urban Forestry Services, Inc. at 360-428-5810 with questions. 6. Silt Fence: If a silt fence is required to be installed within the Critical Root Zone of a retained tree, the bottom of the silt fence shall not be buried in a trench, but instead, folded over and placed flat on the ground. The flat portion of the silt fence shall be covered with gravel or soil for anchorage. 7. CRZ over Hardscape: Where the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) includes an area covered by hardscape, the TPF can be placed along the edge of the hardscape if and until it is removed. After hardscape removal, the available CRZ should be backfilled with topsoil up to 6 inches deep and protected with the TPF. Incorporation of topsoil into the existing sub-grade shall be determined by the consulting arborist. Where applicable a specification for topsoil will be provided or approved by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 8. Tree Protection Signs shall be attached to the fence only and shall be shown as required on the Site Plan. They should read “Protect Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of trees to be retained. No soil disturbance, parking, storage, dumping, or burning of materials is allowed within the Tree Protection Barrier. " Monetary Fines based on the appraised dollar value of the retained trees may also be included on these signs. Telephone contact details for the project consulting arborist should also be included in the sign. 9. Soil Protection within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ): Where vehicular access, temporary work pad or storage pad is required within the CRZ of any preserved tree that is not protected with hardscape, the soil shall be protected with 18” of woodchips and/or plywood or metal sheets to protect from soil compaction and damage to roots of retained trees. A biodegradable coir mat netting is recommended to be placed on the existing grade before woodchip placement to protect the condition and confirm the location of the existing grade. The netting is a valuable benchmark upon removal of the material within the CRZ. 10. Landscape Plans, Irrigation Design and Installation Details: Great care shall be exercised when landscaping within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of any tree. Roots of preserved trees and other vegetation shall not be damaged by planting or installation of irrigation lines The owner’s arborist shall review the Landscape Plan for any potential design and tree preservation conflicts and approve related irrigation and landscape installation activities within the CRZ of retained trees. A proposed method for work shall be provided to and approved by the arborist. 11. Backfill and Grade Changes: The owner’s arborist will determine to what extent backfilling may be allowed within the Critical Root Zone of a preserved tree, and if needed, the specific General Tree Protection Guidelines By Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 2011-12 Page 3 of 3 material which may be used. Grade cuts are usually more detrimental than grade filling within the CRZ and should be reviewed by the arborist well in advance of construction. 12. Tree Maintenance and Pruning: Trees recommended for maintenance and approved by the owner, shall be pruned for deadwood, low hanging limbs, and proper balance, as recommended for safety, clearance or aesthetics. All pruning shall be done by an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. ANSI A300 American Standards for Pruning shall be used. Limbs of retained trees within 10 feet or less, of any power line, depending on power line voltage, may only be pruned by a Utility Certified Arborist. This pruning must be coordinated with the local power company, as they may prefer to provide this pruning. 13. Underground Utilities: Utility installation within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of any retained tree shall be reviewed by the Project Consulting Arborist. A less root disturbing route or minimal impact installation method of utility installation may be discussed and recommended i.e. tunneling or trenchless excavation. Trenching through the Interior CRZ of a retained tree is not usually allowed. See CRZ Explanation to differentiate between the Perimeter and Interior CRZ. An Air spade and Vac., Truck may be required when utility installation is mandatory near a retained tree or other methodology such as trenchless excavation. 14. Root Pruning: Required work may result in the cutting of roots of retained trees. Cutting roots 2” or greater should be avoided. Potential root pruning needs should be reviewed in advance with the Project Consulting Arborist to minimize potential root fracturing and other damage. Severed roots of retained trees shall be cut off cleanly with a sharp saw or pruning shears. Applying pruning paint on trunk or root wounds is not recommended. Severed roots shall be covered immediately after final pruning with moist soil or covered with mulch until covered with soil. Excavation equipment operators shall take extreme care not to hook roots and pull them back towards retained trees. In all cases, the excavator shall sit outside of the CRZ. Soil excavation within the CRZ shall be under the direct supervision of the owner’s arborist. 15. Supplemental Tree Irrigation: If clearing is performed during the summer, supplemental watering and/or mulching over the root systems within the Tree Protection Fencing of preserved trees may be required by the owner’s arborist. The arborist should be notified of the proposed schedule for clearing and grading work. Supplemental watering and mulching over the root systems of roots impacted or stressed trees are strongly recommended to compensate for root loss and initiate new root growth. Long periods of slow drip irrigation will be most effective. A large coil of soaker hose starting at least 18" from the trunk and covering the Interior Critical Root Zone area is recommended. Water once per week and check soils for at least 12 inches infiltration. This work shall be under the direct supervision of the owner’s arborist. 16. Additional Measures: Additional tree protection recommendations may be required and may be specified in Urban Forestry Services, Inc. report(s). 17. Final Inspection: The owner’s arborist shall make a final site visit to report on retained tree condition following completed work and shall report to the city to release the bond for the retained trees. Tree Risk Assessment Level Descriptions The tree risk assessment process is based on factors present at the time of assessment. Because trees are living, growing things that change in size and condition over time, the tree assessment process must also recognize and anticipate where and when future assessments should be performed. The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) training and methodology, developed and administered by the International Society of Arboriculture is the best available methodology for tree risk assessment at this time. There are three levels of assessment that may be considered and employed according to the expectations of the owner or manager, conditions of the site and of the trees involved: Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment: Includes a broad overview of an individual tree or group of trees near specified targets, conducted to identify obvious defects or other conditions of concern. A limited visual assessment typically focuses on identifying trees with imminent and/or probable likelihood of failure. Level 1 assessments do not always meet the criteria for a "risk assessment" if they do not include documented analysis and evaluation of individual trees. This level is typically used for large populations of trees as a means to quickly identify trees with imminent and/or probable likelihood of failure, at a specified schedule and/or immediately after storms. Level 1 assessments may be done as walk-by, drive-by or aerial patrols as requested by the tree owner or manager. They may not provide enough information to develop risk mitigation recommendations. They can help identify specific areas and/or trees for further inspection at Level 2 or 3. Trees found to require a Level 2 Basic Assessment are assessed, mapped and documented at the higher level at this time. Trees determined to need a Level 3 Advanced Tree Assessment are documented and recommended for additional testing and analysis. The owner is notified with options discussed. Level 2 Basic Assessment: This is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around the tree, looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. This basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or defects. Our Level 2 Basic Assessment Trees are all typically tagged, mapped and information gathered and retained for each tree. Risk mitigation recommendations may be derived from this level of inspection. Defects found in a Level 2 Basic Tree Assessment may require a Level 3 assessment for further testing and analysis. The owner is notified with options discussed. Level 3 Advanced Assessment: Advanced assessments are performed to provide more highly detailed information about specific tree components, defects, targets or site conditions. An advanced assessment is performed in conjunction with or after a Level 2 Basic Assessment if the assessor determines the need for (requires) additional information. This level is particularly useful where there are concerns about trees that may otherwise be of high value, or to obtain better information on how serious or extensive a particular defect is. The Level 3 Advanced Tree assessment may include but not be limited to a root crown inspection with air spade, Resistograph or Tomograph use to determine sound wood or an aerial crown inspection. The preliminary Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment if requested would help determine where field assessments at Level 2 and Level 3 will be needed. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS Urban Forestry Services, Inc. 15119 McLean Rd. Mount Vernon, Washington 98273 1. Limitations of this Assessment This Assessment is based on the circumstances and observations as they existed at the time of the site inspection of the Client’s Property and the trees inspected by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. and upon information provided by the Client to Urban Forestry Services, Inc. The opinions in this Assessment are given based on observations made and using genera lly accepted professional judgment, however, because trees and plants are living organisms and subject to change, damage, and disease, the results, observations, recommendations, and analysis took place and no guarantee, warranty, representation, or opinio n is offered or made by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. as to the length of the validity of the results, observations, recommendations, and analysis contained within this Assessment. As a result, the Client shall not rely upon this Assessment, save and except for representing the circumstances and observations, analysis, and recommendations that were made as at the date of such inspections. It is recommended that the trees discussed in this Assessment should be re - assessed periodically. Urban Forestry Services, Inc. shall not be required to give testimony or to attend court by reason of this report unless subsequent contractual arrangements are made, including payment of an additional fee for such services as described in our fee schedule and contract of engagement. Sketches, diagrams, graphs, and photographs in this report, being intended as visual aids, are not necessarily to scale and should not be construed as engineering or architectural reports or surveys. 2. Reaction of Assessment The Assessment carried out was restricted to the Property. No assessment of any other trees or plants has been undertaken by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. Urban Forestry Services, Inc. is not legally liable for any other trees or plants on the Property except those expressl y discussed herein. The conclusions of this Assessment do not apply to any areas, trees, plants, or any other property not covered or referenced in this Assessment. 3. Professional Responsibility In carrying out this Assessment, Urban Forestry Services, Inc. and any Assessor appointed for and on behalf of Urban Forestry Services, Inc. to perform and carry out the Assessment has exercised a reasonable standard of care, skill, and diligence as would be customarily and normally provided in carrying out this Assessment. The Assessment has been made using accepted arboricultural techniques. These include a visual examination of each tree for structural defects, scars, external indications of decay such as fungal fruiting bodies, evidence of insect attack, discolored foliage, the condition of any visible root structures, the degree and direction of lean (if any), the general condition of the tree(s) and the surrounding site, and the current or planned proximity of property and people. Except where specifically n oted in the Assessment, none of the trees examined on the property were dissected, cored, probed, or climbed and detailed root crown examinations involving excavation were not undertaken. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the trees recommended for retention are healthy, no guarantees are offered, or implied, that these trees, or all parts of them will remain standing. It is professionally impossible to predict with absolute certainty the behavior of any single tree or group of trees, or all their component parts, in all given circumstances. Inevitably, a standing tree will always pose some risk. Most trees have the potential to fall, lean, or otherwise pose a danger to property and persons in the event of adverse weather conditions, and this risk can only be eliminated if the tree is removed. Without limiting the foregoing, no liability is assumed by Urban Forestry Services, Inc. or its directors, officers, employers, contractors, agents, or Assessors for: • any legal description provided with respect to the Property; • issues of title and or ownership respect to the Property; • the accuracy of the Property line locations or boundaries with respect to the Property; and • the accuracy of any other information provided to Urban Forestry Ser vices, Inc. by the Client or third parties; • any consequential loss, injury, or damages suffered by the Client or any third parties, including but not limited to replacement costs, loss of use, earnings, and business interruption; and • the unauthorized distribution of the Assessment. The total monetary amount of all claims or causes of action the Client may have as against Urban Forestry Services, Inc. including but not limited to claims for negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract, shall be strictly limited to solely to the total amount of fees paid by the Client to Urban Forestry Services, Inc. pursuant to the Contract for Services as dated for which this Assessment was carried out. Further, under no circumstance may any claims be initiated or commenced by the Client against Urban Forestry Services, Inc. or any of its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or Assessors, in contract or in tort, more than 12 months after the date of this Assessment. 4.
