Project Numbers: LUA06-139,ECF; LUA16-000620,SA-H,SP Project Name: Paccar Parts Distribution Building Proposal / Purpose of Addendum: The original SEPA threshold determination for the Paccar Parts Distribution Buildings was issued on December 18, 2006. The original application included a proposal for the construction of a new 255,000 square foot parts distribution center with 5,000 square feet of office space. The Environmental Review Committee Staff Report, project description and the application materials did not explicitly disclose the site’s regrading of the retained 139,000 cubic yards of pre-load surcharge soils. The intended purpose of this SEPA Addendum is to disclose the proposed regrade of the site’s existing surcharge soils from the current 2:1 slope along the Garden Ave N. frontage to a 4:1 slope with new tree and erosion control planting. New trees are also proposed along the N. 4th St. frontage. The proposed regrading of the slope will require approximately 2,700 cubic yards of soil to be cut from the slope and relocated to an interior location on the existing graded pad. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on December 18, 2006, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Paccar Parts Distribution Building. The DNS-M included five mitigation measures related to geotechnical recommendations, drainage and erosion control, truck traffic and mitigation fees. A 14-day appeal period commenced on December 18, 2006 and ended on January 5, 2007. An appeal was received on January 5, 2007 from the project proponents, requesting amending the mitigation measure that limited the hours of operation for truck traffic. The decision of the ERC was affirmed by the Hearing Examiner on March 19, 2007, resulting in no changes to the Addendum to Environmental (SEPA) Review Page 2 of 3 January 30, 2017 original DNS-M. As such, truck traffic would remain limited to the hours of 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. An Addendum to the original SEPA determination was issued on August 26, 2013 to clarify that an existing 28,500 square foot building was to be demolished as part of the project as part of site development for the distribution center. A second Addendum to the SEPA determination was issued June 15, 2015, to disclose the intended relocation and retention of 139,000 cubic yards of pre-load surcharge fill to the western portion of the site. It has been determined that the environmental impacts of the proposal were adequately addressed under the analysis of significant impacts contained within the previously adopted DNS-M. Based on WAC 197-11-600(4) c, the addendum process may be used if analysis or information is added that does not substantially change the analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the existing environmental document. The regrading of the site’s retained pre-load surcharge materials and new landscaping would not change the analysis or impacts in the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Review. The City of Renton is hereby issuing a SEPA Addendum pursuant to WAC 197-11-625. This Addendum is appropriate because it contains only minor information not included in the original Determination and there are no environmental impacts related to inclusion of the new information.

Hyllseth, PE and Garry E. Horvitz, PE RE: Geotechnical Report Update – SW Fill Area PACCAR Renton Parts Distribution Center (PDC) Renton, Washington 17946‐02 CC: Jason Hubbell, Barghausen Engineers Vicki Zumbrunnen, PACCAR As requested by the City of Renton, this memorandum provides updated geotechnical engineering recommendations for the SW Fill Area of the PDC project site, located adjacent to Garden Avenue North and North 4th Street as shown on the Barghausen Phase 3 Temporary Erosion Control and Grading Plans for the project (dated November 15, 2016). The fill placed in this portion of the site consists of relocated preload fill material from the original PDC building pad. Hart Crowser monitored the preload fill placement and removal process during construction. The updated recommendations in this memorandum should only be used in conjunction with the general recommendations of our geotechnical engineering design study dated September 25, 2014, and subsequent supplemental recommendations provided by Hart Crowser. This memorandum is for the exclusive use of PACCAR, Barghausen Engineers, and their consultants for specific application to the subject project and site. We completed this memorandum in accordance with geotechnical practices generally accepted for work of a similar nature done in the same timeframe, in the same or similar localities, and under similar conditions. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. SW Fill Placement Recommendations The fill placed in the SW portion of the site is considered non‐structural (i.e. not intended to support buildings, paved roads, or other surface structures). As such, geotechnical field observation or compaction testing was not required during placement. It is our opinion that track‐walking the fill FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT THE CITY OF RENTON, DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AT (425) 430-7200.

OF PUBLIC HEARING POSTED TO NOTIFY INTERESTED PERSONS OF A PUBLIC HEARING PROJECT NAME: PACCAR PRE-LOAD SOIL RETENTION PROJECT NUMBER: LUA16-000620, SA-H LOCATION: 1400 N 4th St DESCRIPTION: Applicant is requesting a Special Grade and Fill Permit and Site Plan Review to retain the remaining pre-load soils that were used to construct the now completed Paccar Parts and Distribution Center located at 1400 N. 4th Street. The total amount of pre-load soils to be retained is 139,000 cubic yards and is located in the 9.5 acre vacant southwest portion of the Paccar property adjacent to the N. 4th Street and Garden Avenue N. frontages. The applicant proposes to retain the pre-load soils until the area is developed in the future. The date of future development has not yet been determined by the applicant. The subject property is within the Employment Area (EA) land use designation and Heavy Industrial (IH) zoning district. An Addendum to the Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) was issued June 15, 2015. The addendum determined the retention of the pre-load surcharge materials for the distribution facility on the western area of the site, along with proposed mitigation, would not change the analysis or impacts in the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Review. A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD BY THE RENTON HEARING EXAMINER AT HIS REGULAR MEETING IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON THE 7TH FLOOR OF CITY HALL, 1055 SOUTH GRADY WAY, RENTON, WASHINGTON, ON FEBRUARY 21, 2017 AT 11:00 AM TO CONSIDER THE SITE PLAN REVIEW AND GRADE AND FILL PERMIT.
