Project Description:
The project is the replacement of a fuel system at this existing Chevron Gas Station, which is located on a
1.73-acre (75,172 square feet) parcel within a Commercial Neighborhood (CN) zoned area. The project
includes the removal and replacement of USTs larger than 10,000 gallons, which requires an Environmental
Review under the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA). The project is surrounded by a real estate
office to the west, residential development to the south, a gas station to the north, and the I-405 freeway to
the east.
The existing development includes a 1,800-square-foot convenience store, a 2,000-square-foot fuel
dispenser canopy, four (4) fuel dispensers, and three (3) 15,000-gallon gasoline Underground Storage
Tanks (USTs).
The project will include the removal of the three (3) USTs and installation of one (1) 20,000-gallon Regular
Gasoline UST, one (1) 15,000-gallon Supreme Gasoline UST, and one (1) 12,000-gallon Diesel UST, along
with four (4) new dispensers and associated product and vapor piping. The purpose of the project is to
modernize the existing fuel system, including replacing USTs that are beyond their warranty period and to
ensure the compliance with the latest environmental standards for retail gas stations.
Site grading will require disturbance of approximately 1,950 square feet, resulting in a minimum of 1,000
cubic yards of earthwork. Site grading includes, but is not limited to, the installation of new USTs, pipe
trenching, and replacement of under-dispenser containment sumps.
The project will be completed in a single phase and will commence after approval of the applicable permits.
The project is anticipated to being in the Spring of 2021, and construction will occur during the hours of
operation allowed under the City of Renton Municipal Code. If night construction is required, the required
permission will be obtained at that time.
Transport of equipment and hauling of material will occur from the project drive way access along North
30th Street. The project will comply with all dust control measures required by the Civil Permit and will use
BMPs for limiting vehicle emissions during construction.
