RE: VMAC Field Resurfacing –
Shoreline Mitigation Plan
R.A.I. Project #2021-136-001
At your request, Raedeke Associates, Inc. staff was retained by the Seattle Seahawks to
review existing shoreline conditions as part of the proposed Virginia Mason Athletic
Center (VMAC) field resurfacing project. We conducted a site investigation on
November 18, 2021 to identify and document the existing conditions of the ordinary high
water mark and shoreline buffer along Lake Washington in vicinity of the proposed
project.
This report is intended to provide a review of the environmental impacts resulting from
construction activities required to facilitate the resurfacing of the existing onsite athletic
fields and provide a mitigation plan for impacts to the shoreline buffer. This report
follows the City of Renton (2021) critical area and shoreline code requirements.
SITE LOCATION
The VMAC Field Resurfacing project would occur on a portion of an approximately 27-
acre property (King County Tax Parcel Nos. 2924059015 and 2924059001) at 12
Seahawks Way in the City of Renton, Washington. The property is located within a
portion of Section 29, Township 24 North, Range 5 East, W.M. Parcel maps retrieved

DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGIES
Wetlands and streams are protected by federal law as well as by state and local
regulations. Federal law (Section 404 of the Clean Water Act) prohibits the discharge of
dredged or fill material into “Waters of the United States,” including certain wetlands,
without a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE 2021). The COE makes
the final determination as to whether an area meets the definition of a wetland and
whether the wetland is under their jurisdiction.
We based our site investigation upon the guidelines of the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and
subsequent amendments and clarifications provided by the COE (1991a, 1991b, 1992,
1994), as updated for this area by the regional supplement to the COE wetland
delineation manual for the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (COE 2010).
The COE wetland delineation manual is required by state law (WAC 173-22-035, as
revised) for all local jurisdictions. As outlined in the COE wetland delineation manual,
wetlands are distinguished by the presence of three diagnostic characteristics:
hydrophytic vegetation (wetland plants), hydric soil (wetland soil), and wetland
hydrology.
The ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of streams was determined using definitions
provided by the Washington State Shorelines Management Act of 1971: “that mark that
will be found by examining the bed and banks and ascertaining where the presence and
action of waters are so common and usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years, as
to mark upon the soil a character distinct from that of the abutting upland, in respect to
vegetation.” (RCW 90.58.030(2)(b) and WAC173-22-030(6). The OHWM was
delineated using procedures outlined in the Washington Department of Ecology (2016)
Shoreline Administrators Manual and located during the field work using a handheld
Geographic Positioning System (GPS) +/- 1-meter accuracy as well as available site
survey topographic information, aerial imagery, and available off-site LiDar information.
Project History
The Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC) was constructed in 2007 and features one
indoor and three outdoor, natural grass practice fields for the Seattle Seahawks.
The outdoor fields are partially within the 200’ shoreline designation associated with
Lake Washington. The City of Renton’s Shoreline Master Program classifies this area as
High Intensity. The existing grass fields sit on a minimum 18-inch sand fill layer on top
of the 3-foot soil cap.
Field maintenance is of highest priority at the VMAC for team success and player safety.
Maintenance occurs on an ongoing basis, and it includes continual application of sand to
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022

ensure even grade, and pest mitigation measures pursuant to a robust Turf Integrated Pest
Management Plan (“TIPMP”). To maintain these practice fields at the highest
professional NFL standards into the future and to restore the original condition, a third-
party consultant has recommended resurfacing the grass on a regular, ten-year schedule
to abate material accumulation and resulting uneven grading. The Seahawks have worked
with turf experts to develop the resurfacing plan proposed with this project. The routine
maintenance proposed with this project would commence after the football season such
that the fields can be ready for the 2022 training camp.
BACKGROUND REVIEW
Prior to conducting our site visit, we reviewed existing background maps and information
for the project site from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS 2021) National Wetland
Inventory (NWI), United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Service (USDA NRCS 2018) web soil survey, and King County (2021)
iMap. We also reviewed the AECOM (2014) Shoreline Native Vegetation Restoration –
Year 5 Monitoring Report for the project site to aid in our understanding of the existing
site conditions.
We also reviewed the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW 2021)
Priority Habitats and Species map to identify documented presence of any endangered or
threatened wildlife or their habitat in vicinity of the project site. Finally, we reviewed
current and historical aerial photographs (Google Earth 2021) to assist in the definition of
existing plant communities, drainage patterns, and land use.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Most of the site consists of the existing Seattle Seahawks practice fields. The fields are
comprised of a sod/turf mixture that is regularly maintained and mowed. The Lake
Washington Shoreline is located west of the project site and an approximately 25-foot-
wide restored shoreline buffer exists between the practice facilities and the lake (See
Figure 2). For this project, we assessed a relatively small (approximately 480 square
feet) portion of the shoreline buffer located in the northwest portion of the project site
that may potentially be impacted as part of the field resurfacing activities.
The portion of the shoreline buffer we assessed as part of the proposed project contains
one, approximately 18-inch dbh (diameter at breast height) balsam poplar (Populus
balsamifera, FAC) tree with a scrub-shrub understory of western red arborvitae (Thuja
plicata, FAC), redosier dogwood (Cornus alba, FACW), oceanspray (Holodiscus
discolor, FACU), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus, FACU), and hardhack (Spiraea
douglasii, FACW).
Soils in the shoreline buffer consist of approximately 12 inches of dark brown (10YR
2/2) sandy loam soils over dark brown (10YR 2/2) gravely sandy loam soils with larger
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 4
cobbles to a depth of greater than 14 inches. During our site investigation, we did not
observe hydric soils nor any primary indicators of wetland hydrology in the shoreline
buffer including a water table or saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile
or any secondary indicators of wetland hydrology including water-stained leaves, drift
deposits, algal matting, or indicators of ponding within the shoreline buffer.
Lake Washington OHWM
During our site investigation, we observed a clear transition between the upland buffer
and the ordinary high-water mark of Lake Washington along the shoreline. During our
site investigation, we identified and recorded the approximate location of the Lake
Washington ordinary high-water mark using a high-accuracy (sub-meter) Trimble GPS
unit. The OHWM corresponds to the location depicted in the AECOM (2014) report and
contains existing large cobbles, gravels, and fine sand materials. The OHWM is largely
devoid of vegetation except for sparse patches of reed canarygrass (Phalaris
arundenacea, FACW) and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens, FAC). A concrete
retaining wall is located within the shoreline waterward of the OHWM. We did not
observe any fringing wetland habitat along lake shoreline in proximity to the proposed
work area.
REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Wetlands are protected by Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and other state
and local policies and ordinances. Regulatory considerations pertinent to wetlands
identified within the study area are discussed below; however, this discussion should
not be considered comprehensive. Additional information may be obtained from
agencies with jurisdictional responsibility for, or interest in, the site. A brief review of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations and City of Renton policy relative to
wetlands, is presented below.
Federal Clean Waters Act (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers)
Federal law (Section 404 of the Clean Water Act) discourages the discharge of
dredged or fill material into the nation's waters, including most wetlands and streams,
without a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The COE makes the
final determination as to whether an area meets the definition of “Waters of the U.S.”
as defined by the federal government (Federal Register 1986:41251), and thus, if it is
under their jurisdiction.
We should caution that the placement of fill within wetlands or other “Waters of the
U.S.” without authorization from the COE is not advised, as the COE makes the final
determination regarding whether any permits would be required for any proposed
alteration (COE 2021). Because the COE makes the final determination regarding
permitting under their jurisdiction, a jurisdictional determination from the COE is
generally recommended prior to any construction activities, if any modification of
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 5
wetlands is proposed. A jurisdictional determination would also provide evaluation
and confirmation of the wetland delineations by the COE.
Washington State
Under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, an activity involving a discharge in waters
of the U.S. authorized by a federal permit must receive water quality certification by
the affected certifying agency. In Washington State, the certifying agency is WDOE,
which has regulatory authority over waters of the state, including streams and isolated
wetlands, under the state Water Pollution Control Act (90.48 RCW) and the Shoreline
Management Act (90.58 RCW).
City of Renton
The City of Renton (2021) code regulates wetlands and streams as critical areas.
Alterations of wetlands and their buffers are generally prohibited, except as allowed
under certain conditions. All direct wetland impacts must be mitigated through
creation, restoration, or enhancement. The City of Renton has the final authority to
determine ratings, buffers, and allowed uses of wetlands, their buffers, and other
sensitive areas that are under their jurisdiction. The project is located within the Lake
Washington shoreline district and would be regulated under the City of Renton (2021)
Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The SMP takes jurisdiction over Lake Washington
and those areas within 200-feet of the ordinary high-water mark.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The project proposes to resurface the existing athletic fields located within the 200-
feet-wide Lake Washington Shoreline setback. The routine maintenance of the fields
would include removal and grading of existing topsoil and installation of new
turf/sod. All work would remain within the existing footprint of the athletic fields.
To avoid impacts to vehicle traffic, the project proposes to remove excess topsoil by
transporting materials via barge on Lake Washington. A small portion of the
shoreline buffer would be affected in the northwest portion of the site to
accommodate a landing ramp between the barge and shoreline (Figures 2 and 3).
The landing ramp would be placed such that it would span over the OHWM from the
barge to the shoreline. No impacts are proposed to occur below the OHWM. Prior
to any construction activities, the project will employ best management practices
(BMPs) to avoid and minimize impacts to Lake Washington and its shoreline buffer.
These BMPs would include but would not be limited to:
• Installation of silt fence between the work area and Lake Washington
Shoreline.
• Identification of clearing limits, specifically within the area of proposed
shoreline buffer impacts
• Clear identification of any trees that would be impacted as part of the project
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 6
• Maintaining spill kits on site during all construction work
Due to the nature of the project, construction work would need to be completed
during the early spring (off-season) to avoid conflict to the Seattle Seahawk practice
schedule.
PROJECT IMPACTS
The proposed project has the potential to impact up to 480 square feet of existing
shoreline buffer vegetation. While no grading is anticipated in order to place the barge
loading ramp (16 feet wide), some vegetation maybe permanently affected by the project.
It is anticipated that similar activities will be required approximately 10 years after this
project is completed, as such mitigation has been designed to minimize future impacts to
the shoreline buffer area.
Mitigation
Mitigation has been defined by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (WAC 197-
11-768; cf. Cooper 1987), and more recently in a Memorandum of Agreement between
the Environmental Protection Agency and the COE (Anonymous 1989). In order of
desirability, mitigation may include:
• Avoidance - avoiding impacts by not taking action or parts of an action;
• Minimization - minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the
action and its implementation;
• Compensatory Mitigation - may involve:
a) repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment;
b) replacing or creating substitute resources or environments;
c) mitigation banking.
The City of Renton (2021) Shoreline code Section 4-3-090D.2 requires that no net
loss of ecological functions will occur as part of a proposed project. Mitigation
sequencing for projects is required to demonstrate that all reasonable efforts have
been taken to avoid impacts to critical areas and/or sufficient mitigation such as the
activity results in no-net loss of ecological functions.
Avoidance of Impacts
Direct impacts to Lake Washington are not anticipated as part of this project. As noted
above, best management practices would be installed prior to any construction activities
and would focus on preventing any unintended impacts to the lake or below the
ordinary high-water mark.
Minimization of Impacts
The project would minimize impacts to the shoreline buffer by designated an area for
placement of the temporary barge ramp. The ramp would be located near the northwest
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 7
corner of the practice fields and would result in 480 square feet of temporary impacts to
the shoreline buffer (Figure 2).
• Clearly mark the limits of the Lake Washington OHWM prior to construction
activities to prevent inadvertent or unnecessary encroachment;
• Install and maintain temporary and permanent soil erosion control measures designed
to prevent sediment from entering surface waters during and after construction,
consistent with best management practices, as required by the City of Renton,
including placement of straw bales and silt fencing between work activities and lake
Washington;
• No work would occur below the OHWM of Lake Washington;
• Telephone numbers of appropriate agency/department contacts would be readily
available on-site in case a spill should occur (e.g., Washington Department of
Ecology, City of Renton Fire Department Hazmat Team, City of Renton Fire and
Rescue).
Compensatory Mitigation
The project will compensate for the buffer impacts by enhancing approximately 580
square feet of buffer after completion of the field resurfacing.
Site Preparation
Prior to site preparation, the limits of the shoreline buffer planting area would be clearly
marked (staked) in the field by appropriate means with the assistance of the project
biologist.
Plant Species Composition
Shrub plantings within the shoreline buffer would consist of low-growing species, such
as salal (Gaultheria shallon FACU), Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa UPL), snowberry
(Symphoricarpos albus FACU) and clustered roses (Rosa pisocarpa FAC). And lakeshore
sedge (Carex lenticularis FACW), lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina FAC) in the wet
buffer area (Figure 3).
Care should be taken to not plant trees or tall shrub species within the area of the
temporary barge ramp as it is anticipated that additional resurfacing activities will be
required in the future. All plantings would be installed in pits that are approximately
twice the diameter of the root ball. Soil amendment consisting of compost from a
permitted solid waste composting facility would be added, if needed, to planting backfill
to promote plant establishment and vigorous growth. Shredded bark mulch would be
installed in 24-inch collars around each planting to prevent or minimize establishment of
invasive plant species and to conserve soil moisture.
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 8
Planting Schedule
Planting would occur between October 1 and March 1 to take advantage of seasonal rains
and greater availability of plant material. Planting at any other time or during periods of
abnormally hot, dry, or freezing weather conditions would not occur without prior
approval by the project biologist and may require plant substitutions and supplemental
irrigation.
Installation and Compliance Monitoring
This plan includes a systematic monitoring program of the proposed shoreline buffer
restoration to evaluate the success of the mitigation efforts. The results of the monitoring
will be used to develop modifications, if needed, to the mitigation plan in subsequent
years. The purposes of the monitoring program are as follows: (1) to document physical
and biological characteristics of the enhanced wetland buffers, and (2) to ensure that the
goals and objectives comply with permit specifications.
The monitoring program for the buffer restoration would begin with installation and
compliance monitoring. The project biologist would be present on-site during the various
stages of installation of the mitigation plantings in order to: (1) demark the limits of the
areas to be planted; (2) review and approve the plant materials and recommend their final
placement before planting; (3) make adjustments in planting plans, as needed, in response
to field conditions; (4) ensure that construction activities are conducted per the approved
plan; and (5) resolve problems that arise during construction, thus lessening problems
that might occur later during the long-term monitoring phase.
Compliance monitoring consists of evaluating the buffer enhancement area immediately
after grading and planting activities are completed. The objectives would be to verify
that all design features, as agreed to in the buffer enhancement planting plan, have been
correctly and fully implemented, and that any changes made in the field are consistent
with the intent and the design of the approved plan. Evaluation of the planting areas after
implementation would be done by the project biologist using evaluation standards and
criteria detailed below.
After planting of the buffer areas are completed, plant counts would be collected during
each of the subsequent monitoring of the site during the five-year, long-term monitoring.
Photos would be taken to document “time-zero” conditions from which long-term
monitoring period would begin.
The compliance monitoring phase would conclude with the preparation of a brief
compliance report by the project biologist. The report would document whether all
design features have been correctly, fully, and successfully implemented. Substantive
changes made in the planting plans would be noted in the compliance report and on the
drawings for use during the long-term monitoring phase. Locations of monitoring sample
plots established for the compliance monitoring, if needed, would be identified on the as-
built plans.
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 9
The planting plans along with the compliance report, would document “as-built”
conditions at the time of construction compliance. The compliance report and as-built
plan would be submitted to the City of Renton for review and approval.
Long-Term Monitoring
The long-term monitoring program will begin following approval of the mitigation
compliance monitoring report and would be conducted annually for the five-year
monitoring period. Long-term monitoring would evaluate the establishment and
maintenance of the plant communities in the shoreline setback to determine if the goals
and objectives of the mitigation plan have been met.
Within each planting area, plant species would be identified, and the combined areal
cover percentage for all native planted and volunteer woody species would be estimated.
In addition, plant counts would be made following completion of the first growing season
and each subsequent monitoring season to document the overall percent survival of the
tree and shrub plantings. Notes on invasive species and overall site stability would also
be documented during the annual monitoring period. Plant identifications would be made
according to standard taxonomic procedures described in Hitchcock and Cronquist
(1976), with nomenclature as updated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National
Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016).
Photos would be taken within the mitigation planting areas during each monitoring year
(years 1, 2 3, 4, and 5). Photographs would be taken from locations established during
the compliance monitoring site visit.
Monitoring and Reporting Schedule
Formal monitoring of the enhanced wetland buffer would occur at the end of the growing
season (late-August or September) of each year of the five-year long-term monitoring
program. In addition, during the first two growing seasons, the project biologist would
also evaluate the mitigation site during spring and mid-summer to assess site progress
and to determine whether maintenance is needed to ensure success of the buffer
enhancement areas in attaining the goals and objectives of the mitigation plan.
Monitoring reports would be prepared following the completion of the growing season of
years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the long-term monitoring period and submitted to the City for
review and approval. The long-term monitoring period will commence following
acceptance of the compliance report and “as-built” drawings by the City of Renton.
Monitoring reports would be submitted to the City as soon as possible after the
monitoring has been completed, with a target date of December 31 of each monitoring
year. The report would document conditions within the enhanced areas and make
recommendations for correcting any problems encountered.
Mr. Sean Vanos
November 30, 2021 revised January 19, 2022
Page 10
EVALUATION AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Specific performance standards to be used in the five-year long-term monitoring are the
following:
• 100% survival of all planted shrubs following completion of the first year after
planting. All plantings that do not survive during the first year must be replaced
with the same or similar species and specifications. Upon installation of
replacement plantings at the conclusion of the first year, the 100% survival
performance standard will be considered to be met;
• Coverage by shrub species (volunteer and planted individuals) will be the
following:
▪ at least 5% after one year
▪ at least 15% after two years;
▪ at least 40% after five years;
• There will be no more than 10% cover by Himalayan blackberry (Rubus
armeniacus) or cutleaf blackberry (Rubus lacinatus), Scotch broom (Cytisus
scoparius), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), or other invasive plant
species, as identified by the project biologist during the five-year monitoring
period.
As outlined above, the proposed site plan includes removal of all non-native vegetation
from within the vegetation enhancement zone and installation of native shrubs to
compensate for the approximately 170 square feet of buffer encroachment. Restoration
would improve the habitat and functionality of the shoreline buffer.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Contingency plans are needed if post-buffer enhancement monitoring shows that
objectives and performance standards have not been met. It should be noted, however,
that it is not possible to develop a detailed contingency plan until the specific problems
that need to be addressed are known. It would be unproductive to try to anticipate all
possible problems and their solutions at this time.
Implementation of a contingency plan may require extension of the monitoring phase of
the project, especially if major changes in the plan are required. The project biologist
should make recommendations for identified problems. All contingency measures must
be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton.
LIMITATIONS
We have prepared this report for the exclusive use by the Seattle Seahawks and their

The determination of ecological system classifications, functions, values, and boundaries
is an inexact science, and different individuals and agencies may reach different
conclusions. With regard to wetlands, the final determination of their boundaries for
regulatory purposes is the responsibility of the various agencies that regulate
development activities in wetlands. We cannot guarantee the outcome of such
determinations. Therefore, the conclusions of this report should be reviewed by the
appropriate regulatory agencies.
We warrant that the work performed conforms to standards generally accepted in our
field and prepared substantially in accordance with then-current technical guidelines and
criteria. The conclusions of this report represent the results of our analysis of the
information provided by the project proponent and their consultants, together with
information gathered in the course of the study. No other warranty, expressed or implied,
is made.
