It is known that there are some wetlands in the vicinity of Duvall Avenue NE and NE Bch Street. Being that the construction of these new utilities will be entirely within the existing improved right -or -way, we are submitting the following: 1. We would like confirmation that the construction of these proposed utilities within an existing improved right-of-way is an exempt activity per RMC 4-3- 050C.5.e.iii. 2. We would like to request that any requirement for a wetland assessment be waived per RMC 4-3-050M.3.b. We propose that our construction within the existing improved roadway (with appropriate temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures) provides a sufficient barrier from any wetlands that might exist in adjacent properties. Please provide written confirmation that the construction is an exempt activity and that the wetland assessment is waived. If you have any questions, please call me.

BACKGROUND ERC MEETING DATE June 11, 2007 Project Name: Duvall Ave Water & Sewer Main Project Applicant/Contact: Michael A. Benoit, City of Renton 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057 File Number: LUA-07-044, ECF Project Manager: Jill K. Ding, Senior Planner Project Description: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the installation of a 16 inch water main and a 12 inch sewer main within Duvall Avenue NE between NE 8th Street and NE 12th Street. The project is planned to begin summer 2007 and be completed winter 2008. (Project description continued on page 2). Project Location: Duvall Ave NE between NE 8ch Street and NE 12th Street Exist. Bldg. Area gsf.- N/A Proposed New Bldg. Area: N/A Site Area: 2,000 feet of roadway Total Building Area gsf.- N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Environmental Review Committee issue a Determination of Non -Significance (DNS). MME ■ �!L'L�l�lS I�r •'� � '� jIp� I loth St. Project Location Map ERC rpt 07-044.doc PROJECT DESCRIPTION CONTINUED: A large portion of the Duvall Avenue NE corridor is currently being developed. The new 16-inch water main will play a significant role by strengthening the utility grid in support of the new Hazen 565 pressure zone reservoir. The existing downstream sewer system, from NE 101h at Duvall Avenue NE to the Sunset Interceptor does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate future development flows from this portion of the system. The new interceptor would re-route flows to the East Renton Interceptor system at Duvall Avenue NE and NE 8th Street. Both the new water main and new sewer main will be installed within improved rights -of -way that are adjacent to existing single-family residential neighborhoods and undeveloped parcels of land. B. RECOMMENDATION Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials make the following Environmental Determination: DETERMINATION OF XX NON -SIGNIFICANCE XX I Issue DNS with 14 day Appeal Period. DETERMINATION OF NON- SIGNIFICANCE- MITIGATED. Issue DNS-M with 14 day Appeal Period. Issue DNS with 15 day Comment Period Issue DNS-M with 15 day Comment Period with Concurrent 14 day Appeal Period. I with Concurrent 14 day Appeal Period. C. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. 1. Earth Impacts: The topography of the project site is flat with a maximum slope of approximately 2 percent. The applicant indicates that the soils underlying the project site are glacial till soils, which are predominantly composed of a silty sandy matrix with some gravel and/or medium dense gravels. The project would require excavation of a trench for the installation of the water and sewer mains. The native material will be used to backfill the trench if it meets standards, otherwise imported backfill from an approved source will be used. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is recommended. Nexus: N/A 2. Transportation Impacts: The proposed project would impact traffic on Duvall Avenue NE during the installation of the water and sewer mains. It is anticipated that Duvall will by reduced to one lane in each direction during construction hours and returned to four lanes each evening. There may be short periods when the road is reduced to one lane with a flagger. Emergency access would remain open at all times. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is recommended. Nexus: N/A E. COMMENTS OF REVIEWING DEPARTMENTS The proposal has been circulated to City Departmental / Divisional Reviewers for their review. Where applicable, these comments have been incorporated into the text of this report as Mitigation Measures and/or Notes to Applicant.
