This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of Sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. Background [HELP] 1.

General description of the site: The project site in its current condition is largely undeveloped with some parking and landscaping development. (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________ b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? Existing site grades are relatively flat with the majority of existing site grades varying between 35 and 37 feet. No steep slopes exceeding 10 percent are identified. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. The soils encountered at the site appear to be shallow fill overlaying alluvium and underlain by sandstone. The soils are not considered prime farmland. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No surface indicators of soil instability have been visually identified, and to the best of our knowledge, no history of soil instability exists. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. A preliminary analysis of cut/fill activity indicates an estimated 1,100 cubic yards of total earthwork. An estimated 100 cubic yards will be imported into the site. Grading activity will utilize on-site material whenever possible in an effort to minimize fill. All imported fill will be sourced from the approved sites and documented accordingly. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Erosion is a possibility during construction activity, but under this proposal, erosion is primarily limited to grading, excavation, and fill activities. A Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESC) will be prepared during the engineering phase and implemented throughout the construction phase, reducing the potential for erosion on site. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 18 21816.006-SEPA Checklist Approximately 65 percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces upon project completion. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Specific measures will be fully detailed in the TESC Plan created for the project and will incorporate a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to reduce the probability of erosion and control the dissemination of airborne particulates and prevent sedimentation from being conveyed to both on-site and downstream drainage systems, drainage swale, and onto adjacent properties and rights-of-way. Examples of BMPs often utilized include surface watering to control dust, drainage channels, silt control fencing, and sediment control ponds. 2. Air [help] a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Airborne particulates (dust), along with vehicular exhaust from construction equipment, are the most likely short-term sources of emissions during construction activity. The primary source of long-term emissions will be from customer vehicular exhaust, as a byproduct of the operation for the Urgent Care Clinic. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Aside from vehicular exhaust originating with traffic on the adjacent rights-of-way, no off- site sources of emissions and/or odors have been identified. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Airborne particulates will be minimized through surface watering during the construction phase of the project. Construction emissions will be further reduced through emission equipment in an effort to fully comply with Washington State emission standards. 3. Water [help] a. Surface Water: [help] 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. There is a wetland known as Puget Wetland located to the south and approximately 50 feet from the project site. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. The project work will take place approximately 50 feet from the wetland; however, it will not require any work over or within the wetland. There are existing impervious surfaces and improvements that separate the project site from the wetland. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 6 of 18 21816.006-SEPA Checklist 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. No amount of fill and dredge material will be placed in or removed from surface waters. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. The proposal will not require surface water withdrawals or diversions. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. Based on FEMA Flood Panel 53033C0977G, the proposal site lies within Zone X: Area of Minimal Flood Hazard. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. The project will not discharge waste materials into surface waters. b. Ground Water: [help] 1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.

Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. No waste material will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources. c. Water runoff (including stormwater): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The redevelopment is designed to maintain existing drainage patterns. Proposed catch basins will be utilized to collect stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Stormwater will then be conveyed to a treatment facility, prior to discharging the runoff to the conveyance system within the right-of-way. The hydraulically isolated trash enclosure will collect stormwater runoff from the dumpster area and convey the runoff to the sanitary sewer system. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 7 of 18 21816.006-SEPA Checklist The water quality and source control measures proposed on this site will substantiall y limit the chance that waste materials could enter ground or surface waters. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site?

Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed. An existing 12-inch water main is located along the north side of the project site within an easement along the access aisle. The City of Renton is the water purveyor for the site. An existing 18-inch sewer main runs along the southern end of the property and an existing side sewer stub will be used to service the site. The site proposes a new transformer tapping into the existing power stub at the northwestern corner of the site. A gas service tap will most likely be made to the existing gas main the runs along the north property boundary. There are existing telecommunications vaults located in the southwestern corner of the site and are a potential source of service, which will be verified during the engineering phase.
