The project site totals 1.73-acre (75,172 square feet) and is located within the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) zone and Urban Design District D. The existing development includes a 1,800-square-foot convenience store, a 2,000-square- foot fuel dispenser canopy, four (4) fuel dispensers, and four (4) 10,000-gallon gasoline Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). The project will include the removal of the four (4) 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. No changes in access to the project site are proposed. The project site is mapped with a Wellhead Protection Area, Zone 2. This proposal includes an updated scope from the original DNS-M issued with LUA20-000286. Exist. Bldg. Area SF: N/A Proposed New Bldg. Area (footprint): Proposed New Bldg.

A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day appeal period B. Mitigation Measures 1. If any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found, all construction activity shall stop and the owner/developer shall immediately notify the City of Renton planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation. 2. Underground storage tank (UST) removal shall comply with all applicable permitting requirements as required by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). C.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The topography of the project site is flat. A geotechnical report was not required to be submitted with the land use application materials as there are no geologic hazards mapped on the project site requiring a geotechnical report and a geotechnical report was not required per the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The proposed project would include the disturbance of approximately 2,300 square feet of impervious surface for the installation fuel tanks in place of older tanks and associated utilities. A preliminary analysis of cut/fill activity based on the Site Plan indicates the project would anticipate approximately 1,000 cubic yards of total earthwork. Most of the cut material would likely be hauled off site, but depending on existing soil conditions, the cut may be able to be re-compacted on site. The grading is proposed to match existing grading characteristics. Grading activity will utilize on - site material whenever possible, in an effort to minimize fill. All imported fill will be sourced from approved sites and documented accordingly. Excavations will occur to replace Underground Storage Tanks.

Mitigation Measures: None recommended Nexus: N/A 2. Water a. Storm Water Impacts: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report (TIR), prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc., dated February 9, 2021 (Exhibit 4). Based on the City’s flow control map, the site falls within the Peak Rate Flow Control Duration Standard area matching Existing Peak Conditions and is within the East Lake Washington drainage basin. The development is subject to Targeted Drainage Review Category 1 in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). The total onsite disturbance anticipated for the underground storage tank replacement is 2,300 square feet. The proposed project is exempt from the requirement to provide flow control facilities as no new impervious surface is proposed. The proposed project would be subject to the requirements of the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual, it is anticipated that any surface water impacts would be mitigated through the implementation of the adopted surface water requirements; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended Nexus: N/A 3. Environmental Health Impacts: A Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill (SWPPS) Plan, dated November 6, 2020, prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. was included as an appendix to the submitted TIR (Exhibit 4). It is anticipated that gasoline and diesel fuel will be stored onsite during construction. In the event of a spill, there will be an air horn onsite that will be used to assemble the crew to take care of the spill. The area around the spill will be secured and a waste removal contractor will be contacted (if necessary) to remove any hazardous waste that cannot be addressed by the contractor. Spill response materials will be located in the staging area shown on Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (Exhibit 2). Any disposal of any contaminated water or soil will be done in accordance with state and federal laws. Reports shall be completed and submitted to King County for any spills. If any fuel-impacted soils are encountered during the replacement of the underground storage tanks, clean-up would be required to comply with the Washington State Department of Ecology Standards. Staff recommends, as a SEPA Mitigation Measure, that the underground storage tank (UST) removal comply with all applicable permitting requirements as required by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). Mitigation Measures: Underground storage tank (UST) removal shall comply with all applicable permitting requirements as required by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 4. Historic and Cultural Preservation Impacts: During the initial review of this proposal under, LUA20-000286, Staff received an email from the Duwamish Tribe on January 7, 2021, which stated that there may be archeological resources on the project site, due to the site’s proximity to May Creek and Lake Washington. Staff did not receive DocuSign Envelope ID: F8EB8186-DFC0-49FF-8AD2-B457ADFD3FDD City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Chevron Fuel System Replacement Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA22-000048, ECF Report of March 14, 2022 Page 4 of 4 ERC_Chevron fuel system replacement_FINAL comments from the Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) or the Muckleshoot Tribe regarding mapped archeological deposits on the project site. Staff recommends that archaeological monitoring along the project corridor occur during construction to ensure appropriate treatment of intact significant artifacts or deposits, if any exist. Staff recommends, as a SEPA Mitigation Measure, that if any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found, all construction activity shall stop and the owner/developer shall immediately notify the City of Renton planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation. Mitigation Measure: If significant artifacts are discovered during construction, any work shall stop until coordination with the DAHP and Native American tribes has occurred and the City has authorized work in that segment to resume. If any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found, all construction activities shall stop and the owner/developer shall immediately notify the City of Renton Planning Department, concerned Tribes’ Cultural Committees, and the Washington State Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, RCW 27.53 Archaeological Sites and Resources, and RCW 27.44 Indian Graves and Records E.
