Moriarty, U.S. Coast Guard, dated May 1,2009, regarding the placement offour floating buoys with warning signs. In that correspondence Commander Moriarty states that the buoys are temporary in nature and that they will be in place for less than six months. He further mentions that he has no objection to the placement of the buoys. I just wanted to let you know that characterizing the buoys and warning signs as temporary may be inaccurate. On October 28, 2008 a public hearing was held on the above-captioned project before the City of Renton Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner's decision on the Seahawks Safety Barrier project included one condition. That condition states: • For one training season the applicant shall use warning signs on floats or buoys or other similar measures to warn off intruders as an initial method of providing a measure of safety. If those measures do not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed. Should the buoys and warning signs prove effective after one training season, there would not be a need to erect the safety barrier as proposed. Should you have any questions, please contact me at gwasser@cLrenton.wa.us or (425) 430-7382. Associate Planner cc: Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, Inc.

LLC Dear Mr. Foltz: We have received your client's application for a Department of the Army permit to install a floating barrier in Lake Washington at Renton, Washington. The project retains the reference number NWS-2007-1899-NO, which was assigned for previous work at the site. Please cite the reference number in any correspondence with us concerning this project. I will be the project manager fOr the processing of this application. I have completed my initial review of the application. As part of the evaluation of this permit application the Corps will ultimately determine the need and purpose of the proposed project for the purposes of evaluating alternatives. Before we can make a determination on the project purpose, we need more information. The project purpose given in various documents that you submitted is I) to protect the environmental quality of the shoreline, and 2) to establish a safety measure so boaters don't get entangled in submerged debris. There are a number of other alternatives available that would be less damaging to the aquatic environment and less of an impediment to the public's right to free navigation on Lake Washington, which is a navigable water of the U.S. These alternatives will be considered under our NEPA analysis. Less damaging alternatives include removal ofthe submerged debris, which would improve navigation, while also benefiting aquatic habitat and removing the possibility of danger to boaters. Other alternatives include, but are not limited to, a fence located above the ordinary high water mark, signage, installation of a temporary barrier during periods where certain activities may attract spectators, and the hiring of additional security personnel. Please evaluate these alternatives and revise the proposal accordingly. If you believe a less damaging alternative is not feasible, please provide us a detailed response to each alternative along with your rationale. Please also provide photos and drawings that show the proximity to Lake Washington of the practice fields and other areas that are expected to attract spectators. ·-• ·2· In addition to a Department of the Army pennit, the proposed project may require other local, state, and/or federal authorizations. For assistance in detennining other pennit requirements for the proposea project, we recommend you contact the Washington State Office of Regulatory Assistance via the internet at www.ora.wa.gov. Please suhmit the infonnation described above within 30 days ofthe date of this letter. After receiving this infonnation, I may contact you to discuss specific aspects of your proposal. If you do not submit the required infonnation or contact us within 30 days, the application will he canceled. However, cancellation ofthe application would not preclude you from submitting another application in the future. We recommend that you do not award construction contracts until the Corps has made a pennit decision. Since a Department of the Army pennit is necessary for this work, do not commence construction before obtaining a valid penni!.

As part of the evaluation of this permit application the Corps will ultimately determine the need and purpose of the proposed project for the purposes of evaluating alternatives. Before we can make a determination on the project purpose, we need more information. The project purpose given in various documents that you submitted is 1) to protect the environmental quality of the shoreline, and 2) to establish a safety measure so boaters don't get entangled in submerged debris. There are a number of other alternatives available that would be less damaging to the aquatic environment and less of an impediment to the public's right to free navigation on Lake Washington, which is a navigable water of the U.S. These alternatives will be considered under our NEP A analysis. Less damaging alternatives include removal of the submerged debris, which would improve navigation, while also benefiting aquatic habitat and removing the possibility of danger to boaters. Other alternatives include, but are not limited to, a fence located above the ordinary high water mark, signage, installation of a temporary barrier during periods where certain activities may attract spectators, and the hiring of additional security personnel. Please evaluate these alternatives and revise the proposal accordingly. If you believe a less damaging alternative is not feasible, please provide us a detailed response to each alternative along with your rationale. Please also provide photos and drawings that show the proximity to Lake Washington of the practice fields and other areas that are expected to attract spectators. · _. -2- In addition to a Department ofthe Army pennit, the proposed project may require other local, state, and/or federal authorizations. For assistance in detennining other pennit requirements for the proposed project, we recommend you contact the Washington State Office of Regulatory Assistance via the internet at \VWW.ora.wa.gov. Please submit the infonnation described above within 30 days ofthe date of this letter. After receiving this infonnation, I may contact you to discuss specific aspects of your proposal. If you do not submit the required infonnation or contact us within 30 days, the application will be canceled. However, cancellation ofthe application would not preclude you from submitting another application in the future. We recommend that you do not award construction contracts until the Corps has made a pennit decision. Since a Department of the Army pennit is necessary for this work, do not commence construction before obtaining a valid penni!.

This action is proposed on the following application: OWNER/APPLICANT: CONTACT: PROJECT: DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION: Football Northwest LLC, 505 Fifth Avenue South, Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98104 Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, Inc., 205 Northlake Way, Suite 230, Seattle, WA 98105 Seahawks Safety Warning Signs on Floats or Buoys The applicant has requested a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the installation of approximately 1,100 feet of fioating safety barrier. The project site is the location of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center/Seattle Sea hawks Headquarters and Training Facility. The applicant states that unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation could occur. In addition, there is a significant amount of submerged debris (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area which poses a potential hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. While the shoreline is private property, the Seattle Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north for public access. The safety barrier would discourage watercraft access to the more dangerous and sensitive areas near the practice fields. The barrier system proposed, ArmorFloat Barrier System, is specifically designed to prevent vessel access to restricted areas. Design purposes include demarcating restricted areas and stopping errant recreational boaters from entering unsafe or closed areas. The proposed barrier would extend from the new dock (LUA07 -137, SM) at the north end of the site southwest approximately 930 feet to an existing pile. From the pile the barrier would turn 90 degrees to the southeast for approximately 100 feet to a new anchor on the shoreline. A total of six 500-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed in Lake Washington approximately 150 feet apart to hold the barrier in place. The barrier would float offshore between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline in water depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). The immediate shoreline is currently being planted with riparian vegetation as part of the Seattle Seahawks Headquarters project and much of the eXisting creosote timber is being removed. New attachment hardware would be fixed to the recently constructed dock. A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil would be set on the shoreline just above the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The fioating barrier would be stretched from the dock, around the pile, to the shoreline, and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors would be lowered by barge-mounted crane to the lakebed and set on soft mud. It is anticipated that the anchors would settle rapidly into the mud and over time may be completely covered by the .. mud surface. Other anchoring systems were rejected because they require a firm substrate for resistance and the lake bottom in this area is made up of very soft silt and sands of indeterminate depth. Construction would take place within the work window established by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, July 16 to December 31 and would be expected to be completed within two weeks of commencement. Equipment used to install the safety barrier would consist of a tugboat, a work skiff, a barge mounted crane, and miscellaneous small power driven equipment including compressors, generators, drills and hand tools during normal daylight hours. Vessels used for installation would operate in sufficient water depth to avoid contact with the lake bottom. The cost and fair market value of the proposed project is expected to be $90,812.00. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has submitted comments and concerns. Some of these comments and concerns are addressed in the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier", dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. Other comments and concerns are not directly related to this project. The applicant has indicated that they will work with the Tribe to ensure treaty fishing rights are protected. An Environmental (SEPAl Review Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated was issued for this project on September 29, 2008. The City of Renton Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on this project on October 28, 2008 and issued a recommendation on November 10, 2008. That recommendation stated: "The Conditional Use Permit and the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the barrier should be approved if other measures do not prevent intrusion into the area and it is approved subject to the following condition: 1. For one training season the applicant shall use warning signs on floats or buoys or other similar measures to warn off intruders as an initial method of providing a measure of safety. If those measures do not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed." The Shoreline Substantial Development Permit contained herein is for both the use of warning signs on floats or buoys as an initial method of providing a measure of safety; and, the proposed barrier, if installed per the Hearing Examiner Condition No.1, above.

There is more than anticipated boat traffic, mostly people looking at the new facility, people wanting to see the team practicing outside in the open air fields. The training camp takes place during the summer and throughout the season during the week the team practices at the facility on the outdoor fields. This part of the lake is extremely shallow, in most places it runs 3 to 6 or 7 feet deep. There are a lot of contaminated sediments from the old Quendal Mill operation. The sediments in front of this property were not so contaminated that ecology required clean up in that area. It would be best of these were not stirred up by prop wash. There also is a great amount of submerged debris that boats and kayakers could run into. Some have been removed, some have broken off just under the water line. The barrier would keep people and powerboats from getting too close and damaging the shoreline. Regarding lighting of the barrier, it will be posted on navigation charts that Will inform hoaters of Its location. The US Coast Guard may require lights, they have not talked to them ahout it as yet. They were hoping to make the barrier a bright color rather than a subdued one. Perhaps they can go WIth a bright green or white that would be more visible. Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, 205 NE Northlake Way, Ste. 230, Seattle 98105 stated that he is 111 charge orthe permit development for this project. They have been successful with their permits and the COil" of Engineers who are in their final review stage. They are almost ready to Issue the Corps Penlllt. If the COilOS of Engineers arc not satislied with their findings, then the Department of Ecology will be called to do further review of the project. The barrier would be 80% visible and so lights were not initially proposed, they are awaiting comments from the Coast Guard. Various colors are available, green is available and a standard color used for floats. There are also custom colors. The length of the barrier will be approximately 950 feet, the intent was where it goes out away from the shore it goes around some existing dock piling that is already in the lake and then it would come back straight to the shore. The sewer line in the lake is farther south of the last anchor and some 40-80 feet from the shoreline. The.l'xaminer askcd if the public was generally allowed to cross the watcr III this arca'! Mr. Pearce stated State does allow the public to fish, float, or swim in waters of the State that has been modified by the Shoreline Management Act. If a dock or pier is installed, that impediment to navigation is lawful and does not violate the public duty doctrine. On Exhibit 5, upon questioning by Mr. Pearce, Mr. Foltz pointed out the dotted line that indicates the Metro Sewer Line in Lake Washington near the project site. The depth of water at the southern end of the safety barrier is shown to bc 3' 3". Carl Hadley, Cedar Rock Consultants, 19609 244(h Avenue NE, Woodinville, W A 98077 stated that he could not speak to treaty rights, the Seahawks has conumlled to working with the tribes to make sure that If they want access to that area to fish, they would be provided the access. Again the tnbes were not so concemed about being ahle to fish in this area, but the protection of the fish. The 18" diameter buoys arc a great hiding place tor fish, however the predators also like shaded areas. Bass or larger trout will hide in the shaded areas and ambush young salmon as they go past. This is also typical of old docks where there are hidden cavities undemeath, the benetit of thIS safety balTier IS that they WIll be bright Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098. ECF, SMC, SM November 10,2008 Page 5 13. The applicant proposes installing an approxnnately I,OOO-foot floatmg safety bamer m the lake. The barrier would be located between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline and be held 111 place by concrete anchors. The barrier would begin at the new dock and extend approximately 930 feet southwest to an existing pile and then tum shoreward for another approximately 100 feet. Six SOD-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed on the lake bottom. The anchors will settle into the soft bottom. 14. The lake's depth in the area defined by the proposed barrier is between 3 and 7 feet deep. The bottom contains mucky sediments, old pilings, rotted wood and possible contaminants as well as other potential hazards to navigation and swimming or walking. 15. The applicant had considered using other anchoring methods but determined the concrete blocks were most appropriate. The soft, mucky bottom limited the choices and the weights were a practical solution that would limit work in the muck that could potentially stir up contaminated sediments. I G. The barrier is intended to prevent entry into the defined area. The barrier would also breakup boat wakes thereby protecting the shoreline rehabilitation efforts. 17. The barrier would consist of a linked serics of 18-inch diameter, 9 foot long polyethylene floats. Approximately 80 percent of the barrier would be above the waterline. 18. The applicant proposed using an orange colored barrier to maintain visibility. The ERC required that the barrier be a subdued color rather than the orange that was 'nitiall)' proposed. Color choice «,ulel affect salmonid predation. Darker colors could give predators a hidlllg place or a background color that could camouflage predators. Brighter or lighter colors would present fewer opportunitres for hiding. 19. The system will need review, approval and permits from the Coast Guard and the Army Corps. The Coast Guard will determine iflighting is required to prevent night collisions. 20. If the barrier is located between 30 feet and 100 feet from the shoreline and extends approximately 1,000 linear feet between 30,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet of water surface deEned by the barrier and the shoreline would be put off limits to boating, canoeing and kayaking. 21. The applicant indicated that unless the barrier were installed to keep people away Significant disturbance to the shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation would occur. The applicant's narrative was submitted on June 27, 2008. It states: "The primary purposes of the safety barrier arc: 1) to protect environmental quality along the shoreline from excessive disturbance that could occur if boats and people were allowed free access to this area; 2) a public safety measure to help prevents boats, waders, and swimmers from contacting submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts. Summer trainmg camp, and to a lesser extent practice sessions during the football season will draw spectators. There are limited uplancllocations [rom where the outdoor practice facility can be observed so some people will come via Lake Washmgton in powerboats and other watercraft ThiS number could be substantial 111 the summer and early fall" 22. A Metro sewer Ime is located just south of the proposed shoreward portion of the barrier. That agmcy advised llsmg caution around the line, which is in very shallo\\I \vatcr. Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 7 provide a system within the master program, which allows flexibility in the application of use regulations in a manner consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020. In authorizing a conditional use, special conditions may be attached to the permit by local government or the department to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed use and/or to assure consistency of the project with the act and the local master program. (I) Uses, which are classified or set forth in the applicable master program as conditional uses may be authorized provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following: Ca) That the proposed use is consistent with the policics ofRCW 90.58.020 and the master program; (b) That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of publie shorelines; (c) That the proposed use of the site and design ofthe project is compatible with other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the comprehensive plan and shoreline master program; (d) That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located; and (e) That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. (2) In the granting of all conditional use permits, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if conditional use pemlits were granted for other developments in the area where sl1nilar circumstances exist, the total of the conditional uses shall also remain consistent with the policies of RCW 'J0.5X.020 and shall not produce substantial adverse efTeets to the shoreline environment. (3) Other uses which are not classified or set forth in the applicable master program may be authorized as conditional uses provided the applicant can demonstrate consistency With the requirements of this section and the requirements for conditional uses contained 111 the master prOb'fam. (4) Uses which arc specifically prohibited by the master program may not be authorized pursuant to either subsection (1) or (2) of this section. 2. This shallow area of Lake Washington has generally he en cluttered with debris, pilings, etc lor a long time and there do not appear to be any prior efforts at restricting access to tillS area and with It restricting access to between 30,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet of water surface. Although, clearly the change in occupancy of the associated upland site to the Seahawks Traming FaCility has or will possibly change the complexion and/or number of boaters along the shorel111e 111 tillS arca. Ihe applicant is also restoring the shoreline with vegetation, which they would like to proteci hOIll intrusions by errant walkers (potential trespass) or boat wakes. But does this change rn upland use call for such an intI1lsive solutIOn as the one proposed -approximately 1,000 feet of floating bamer" Might it be possible that less restrictive measures conld be used before resorting to the closure of this area and the installation of an 18-inch higb, I,OOO-foot long barrier, of a potentially bnght color and one that may Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 9 and piers already in this area. 12. The comprehensive plan designates this area as suitable for commercial, office and residential uses. Screening off private property and protecting the public safety seems legitimate if less intrusive measures fail. 13. The proposed barrier will hopefully not create any signitlcant adverse affects on the shoreline environment. It is intended to protect new vegetation and if an approximate color can be selected limit predation on salmon. 14. There really is no way to judge the cumulative impact or impacts. It is unlikely that similar barriers will be installed along the lakeshore but, again, this proposal could create a precedent. 15. Since barriers are neither permitted nor prohibited outright they may be reviewed under the Conditional Use criteria. RECOMME!'IDATION: The Conditional Usc Permit and the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the barrier should be approvcd If other measures do not prevent intrusion into the area and it is approved subject to the followmg condition: I. For one training season the applicant shall use waming signs on floats or buoys or other similar measures to wam off intmdcrs as an illltial method of providing a measure of safety. If those measures do not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed. ORDERED THIS 10 th day of November 2008. hl~~~,~ FRED 1.

This action is proposed on the following application: OWNER/APPLICANT: CONTACT: PROJECT: DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION: Football Northwest LLC, 505 Fifth Avenue South, Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98104 Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, Inc., 205 Northlake Way, Suite 230, Seattle, WA 98105 Seahawks Safety Warning Signs on Floats or Buoys The applicant has requested a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the installation of approximately 1, 1 00 feet of floating safety barrier. The project site is the location of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center/Seattle Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility. The applicant states that unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation could occur. In addition, there is a significant amount of submerged debris (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area which poses a potential hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. While the shoreline is private property, the Seattle Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north for public access. The safety barrier would discourage watercraft access to the more dangerous and sensitive areas near the practice fields. The barrier system proposed, ArmorFloat Barrier System, is specifically designed to prevent vessel access to restricted areas. Design purposes include demarcating restricted areas and stopping errant recreational boaters from entering unsafe or closed areas. The proposed barrier would extend from the new dock (LUA07 -137, SM) at the north end of the site southwest approximately 930 feet to an existing pile. From the pile the barrier would turn 90 degrees to the southeast for approximately 100 feet to a new anchor on the shoreline. A total of six 500-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed in Lake Washington approximately 150 feet apart to hold the barrier in place. The barrier would float offshore between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline in water depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). The immediate shoreline is currently being planted with riparian vegetation as part of the Seattle Seahawks Headquarters project and much of the existing creosote timber is being removed. New attachment hardware would be fixed to the recently constructed dock. A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil would be set on the shoreline just above the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The fioating barrier would be stretched from the dock, around the pile, to the shoreline, and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors would be lowered by barge-mounted crane to the lake bed and set on soft mud. It is anticipated that the anchors would settle rapidly into the mud and over time may be completely covered by the mud surface. Other anchoring systems were rejected because they require a firm substrate for resistance and the lake bottom in this area is made up of very soft silt and sands of indeterminate depth. Construction would take place within the work window established by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, July 16 to December 31 and would be expected to be completed within two weeks of commencement. Equipment used to install the safety barrier would consist of a tugboat, a work skiff, a barge mounted crane, and miscellaneous small power driven equipment including compressors, generators, drills and hand tools during normal daylight hours. Vessels used for installation would operate in sufficient water depth to avoid contact with the lake bottom. The cost and fair market value of the proposed project is expected to be $90,812.00. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has submitted comments and concerns. Some of these comments and concerns are addressed in the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier", dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. Other comments and concerns are not directly related to this project. The applicant has indicated that they will work with the Tribe to ensure treaty fishing rights are protected. An Environmental (SEPA) Review Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated was issued for this project on September 29,2008. The City of Renton Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on this project on October 28,2008 and issued a recommendation on November 10, 2008. That recommendation stated: "The Conditional Use Permit and the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the barrier should be approved if other measures do not prevent intrusion into the area and it is approved subject to the following condition: 1. For one training season the applicant shall use warning signs on floats or buoys or other similar measures to warn off intruders as an initial method of providing a measure of safety. If those measures do not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed." The Shoreline Substantial Development Permit contained herein is for both the use of warning signs on floats or buoys as an initial method of providing a measure of safety; and, the proposed barrier, if installed per the Hearing Examiner Condition No.1, above.

Waterfront Construction, Inc. Agent for Football Northwest LLC 206-548-9800 foltz@waterfrontconstruction.com Football Northwest -Safety Barrier Renton, Washington 1. Proposed Activity Biological Evaluation An approximately 1,100-foot long floating safety barrier will be placed in Lake Washington off- shore of the new Seahawks training facility. The primary purposes of the safety barrier are: 1) to protect environmental quality along the shoreline from excessive disturbance that could occur if boats and people were allowed free access to this area; and 2) a public safety measure to help prevent boats, waders, and swimmers from contacting submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts. Summer training camp, and to a lesser extent practice sessions during the football season will draw spectators. There are limited upland locations from where the outdoor practice facility can be observed so some people will come via Lake Washington in powerboats and other watercraft. This number could be substantial in the summer and early fall. Football Northwest has, and will continue to invest a great deal of effort in restoring the shoreline as part of the site environmental remediation and development mitigation process. Studies have shown that the nearshore area of Lake Washington in this area is utilized by a diverse aquatic biota. The safety barrier is proposed as a proactive measure to limit access into the shallowest parts of the nearshore area and the adjacent riparian buffer in anticipation of increased waterfront traffic. Unless measures are taken to keep people away fTom the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly replanted vegetation could occur. There is also a significant quantity of submerged artifacts (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area, much of which poses a hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. The shoreline is also private property. While the Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north as public property, and are providing public access, the safety barrier will be one way to help discourage people from accessing the more sensitive private area near the practice fields. The safety barrier is not designed to be used for moorage. However, there is the possibility that some people will occasionally use it for that purpose. While this type of unauthorized use would be discouraged, there is no way to prevent it's occurrence at all times. Therefore, to help avoid damage to the barrier, or damage that might be caused to the lake bottom if boat anchors were to drag, the design of the safety barrier anchors and hardware took into consideration the possibility that small boats could occasionally tie up to the structure. 2.

Description of Work Approximately 1, I 00 feet of floating safety barrier will be installed. The ArrnorFloat Floating Barrier System™ was specifically designed to provide a positive boat barrier between the general public and restricted areas. Design purposes include stopping errant recreational boaters and demarcating unsafe or closed areas. The barrier will extend from the new dock at the north end of the site, southwest approximately 930-feet to an existing pile. From the pile the float will turn 90-degrees to the southeast ArmorFloat~ barrier system and will travel about 100-feet to a new anchor on the shoreline (see Appendix C). A total of six, SOD-pound pre-cast concrete anchors will be placed in Lake Washington at a rate of one approximately every 150-fcet to hold the barrier in place. The barrier will float off-shore between 30-feet and about 100-feet from the shoreline in water depths ranging from about 3 feet to about 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). New attachment hardware will be fixed to the dock. A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil will be set on the shoreline just above OHW. The floating barrier will be stretched from the dock, around the pile, and to the shoreline and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors will be lowered to the lake bed with a crane and set on the soft mud. It is expected that the anchors will rapidly settle into the mud and may end up below the surface over time. While other types of anchors (screws, clam shells, etc.) were evaluated, the very soft silt and sands of indeterminate depth provide poor anchoring purchase for these types of systems which rely on firm substrate for resistance.

',11·. - AUG 19 2008 De." .... ,""" , '(~\.",t!VED The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide ir*ormation to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. 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. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Fornonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. \\Se rver02\O\Permits Department\Active Projects\FootbaU NW Log Boom\envchlst.doc07/29/08 A.

PROJECT NAME: Sea hawks Safety Barrier DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review, a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the installation of an approximalely 1,100-foot floating safety barrier on the shore of Lake Washington in association with the Seattle Sea hawks Headquarters and Training Facility. The project site is a 721,580 square foot lot in the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) 'zone. The proposed construction would be waterward of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) using a contractor's barge containing pre-fabricated boom logs, connectors, and pre-formed concrete anchors. The proposed safety barrier would protect the shoreline from excessive disturbance and prevent boats and people from entanglement with submerged piles, logs and other debris.

PLLC 1111 Third Ave. Ste. 3400 Seattle. WA 98101 RE: Shoreline Conditional Use Pennit for Safety Barrier UJA-08-098, ECF. SMC, SM Dear Mr. Pearce: This office has reviewed the request to reconsider the decision to only allow the barrier if less intrusive measures do not successfully deter onlookers from approaching too close to this area of the shoreline. The applicant raised the issue of lighting at night. This issue had been unresolved when the hearing occurred as the Coast Guard had not made its recommendation. This office correctly believed that a barrier approximately 1,000 feet long and 30 to 100 feet from shore would ueed lighting. The Coast Guard has now detennined that lights would be necessary. The applicant notes that the lights that will be used would be low intensity and not be very visible. This barrier with or without lights will be intrusive since it is obviously intended to thwart access by boaters to the cordoned off area. The applicant noted that boalers came by during construction and during some of the early uses of the facility. Obviously the new construction probably attracted its share of onlookers. Practice may also attract a certain number of onlookers. The vantage point from the water level may soon deter those since this office does not anticipate a very good Hobservation deck tl from the water side. But, again, experience may dictate what measures are ultimately required and that can be gained from a one-year period of observation or less if accident statistics indicate a serious problem exists. The applicant suggests that other similar barriers exist so this would not be unprecedented. It appears that generally those barriers are in areas in which swinuning occurs and where boating \vould be an incompatihle usc. This office still believes that an attempt should be made to ward olTbuaters w'ith less intrusive signs or methods alld ifthat fails, then the proposed barrier should be permitted. Therefore, this office still recommends that the applicant try other methods to deter onlookers from enlering the area that would have been restricted by the barriers. If such measures do not appear to be working tben the barrier pennits will be available and the barrier could be installed. The applicant may appeal this decision to the City Council within 14 days of this determination.

INTRODUCTION 14 Applicant Football Northwest LLC ("FNW") respectfully requests the Hearing Examiner 15 to modify the November 1 0,2008, Report And Recommendation on the proposed floating safety 16 barrier at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center ("VMAC"). In particular, FNW requests the 17 Examiner to modifv conclusions oflaw 2, 3 and 4 to conform to the evidence and to eliminate 18 the condition placed by the Examiner on the proposed floating safety barrier. The condition 19 would require FNW to install warning signs to warn off "intruders" in order to provide the 20 shoreline protection and boat protection that the floating barrier is designed to attain, and if those 2 I measures do not produce the desired result, then the floating safety barrier may be installed. This 22 condition is based on thc Examiner's erroneous conclusions about the floating safety barrier in 23 conclusions 2, 3 and 4 -that the barrier would be intrusive, that such a barrier is unprecedented, 24 and that the problem of milling boats in Iront of the VMAC, which includes the outdoor practice 25 fields for the Seattle Seahawks, is a conjecture that is not yet proven. The Examiner was 26 particularly concerned that the floating barrier would be intrusive because the U. S. Coast Guard ""If' "lflL MOTION FOR RECONSIDERA nON - 1 ;, I ;< . l_~ : '. ~ ;' ': FOSTER PEPPER PLLC 1111 T1HRD A VI'.NUI:, SUITE3400 SEArrLE, WASHINGTON 98101-3299 PHON!' (206) 447-4400 FAX (206) 447-9700 S09S2t.60.1 might require lighting. The Examiner's conclusions are not supported by substantial evidence, 2 are not supported by the record, and are not supported by the findings offact in the Examiner's 3 own decision. Accordingly, both the recommended condition and the portions of Conclusions 2, 4 3 and 4 regarding that condition should be modified or deleted from the Report And 5 Recommendation. 6 II. ARGUMENT 7 A. The Examiner Has Authority to Modify the Condition in the Report and Recommendation. 8 9 10 I I 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 The Examiner may modify his decision pursuant to Renton Zoning Code 4-8-1 00G4 if that decision is an error of judgment or if there is new evidence not reasonably available at the hearing. Here, the Examiner's imposition of the Condition to post signs was based on the unsupported conclusions that the proposed floating safety barrier will be intrusive, that the lighting that may be required will be intrusive, that the floating safety barrier is an unprecedented use, and that the problem of milling boats immediately offshore ofthe VMAC facility is merely conjectural. The evidence in the record does not support those conclusions. Rather, the evidence in the record and facts of which the Examiner may take notice (including new information regarding lighting from the United States Coast Guard) show that the floating safety barrier is not intrusive (nor will the lighting required by the Coast Guard be intrusive); that the safety barrier is hardly unprecedented because there are five other similar barriers within a few miles of the VMAC along the Lake Washington shore; and that the milling boats offshore from the VMAC is an existing problem. B. The Nearshore Boat Traffic at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center Is Not Conjecture. 23 The application for the floating safety barrier at VMAC was prepared in June and July 24 2008. At that time, the Seahawks had not yet moved into the facility, but were already beginning 25 to experience a good deal of boat traffic curious about the construction of the Facility and the 26 outdoor practice fields. Accordingly, the application indicated that increased waterfront traffic MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION -2 50952660 I FOSTER PEPPER PLLC 1111 THIRD AVENUE, SUITE 3400 SEATTLE, W,\SlHNGTON 98101-3299 PHON~. (206) 447-4400 FAx (206) 447-9700 J was "anticipated." The Examiner evidently read this language and concluded that the increased 2 waterfront traffic, which would endanger the shoreline values, disturb sediments and endanger 3 boat traffic, was "conjecture."] 4 Nothing in the record supports the Examiner's conclusion that the increased boat traffic is 5 "conjecture." None of the Examiner's findings support that conclusion. And the testimony at 6 the hearing was that there increased boat traffic is occurring.2 The Declaration of Lance Lopes 7 ("Lopes Dec.") provides further detail.] 8 As discussed by Mr. Lopes, the team only began practicing on the outdoor fields at 9 VMAC on August 19 th , after the safety barrier application and after the team's summer training 10 camp ended. Despite the private nature of the practices and no publicity of the practice times, II there was a large increase in daily nearshore boat traffic. As one example, at the August 30, 12 2008, practice there were approximately twenty (20) power boats at one time milling around the 13 nearshore at VMAC trying to observe practice or see the Seahawks players. That boat traffic 14 should dramatically increase next summer during training camp when the practices are open to 15 the public, the outdoor practice schedule is published and predictably known to the public, which 16 is why the floating safety barrier is needed prior to those dates.4 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 25 26 c. The Safety Barrier and Lighting Required by the Coast Guard Will Not Be Intrusive. The Examiner also concluded that the safety barrier would be intrusive and even more intrusive if lighted. 5 The testimony at the hearing and in the record does not support that conclusion. Rather, the safety barrier has only one foot of freeboard and comes in colors such as white and green that would not only be consistent with the shoreline coloration but would also be ] Recommendation at Concl. 3. , . : Pearce tesllmony. , Lopes Dec. at ~2. This information may be considered by the Examiner because there was no opportunity to provide any testimony at the hearing on this issue, which was Jirst raised by the Examiner when Conclusion 3 of the Report was published on Novembber 10, 2008. 4 Lopes Dec. at '\12.

The Examiner's findings similarly do not 2 support the conclusions about an "instrusive" structure. 3 Since the public hearing on the floating safety barrier, the Seahawks have been informed 4 by the United States Coast Guard that small battery powered lights will be required on the 5 proposed safety boom.6 These lights arc very low voltage and would be only approximately 1.5 6 cd (candles) in strength. The lights would be easily visible when close to the light source but 7 would appear only as a speck oflight at greater distances. The flash length and period between 8 Hashes can be programmed so that the light would gi ve an indication to boaters but not be 9 intrusive to others. A typical scenario is to have the light on for approximately one-half second, 10 then be off for two or more seconds. In addition, these lights are aimed in a fairly narrow band II (range of elevation) so that the light is directed along the water toward boaters and not upward 12 toward homes on the uplands. 13 D. The Safety Barriers in Lake Washington Is Not "Unprecedented". 14 The Examiner also concluded that the proposed floating safety barrier is "unprecedented" 15 and as a result signage should be tried before installation of a safety barrier. 7 As the testimony 16 at the hearing showed, the f10ating safety barrier at VMAC would not be a precedent for other 17 safety barriers in Lake Washington because the Seahawks are the only professional sports team 18 that is located on the lake and that trains outdoors.

Identity of Declarant. I am the Vice PresidentlGeneral Counsel of project applicant Football Northwest LLC. I have personal knowledge of the facts contained in this declaration and am competent to testify to those facts. 2. The Nearshore Boat Traffic at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center Is Not Conjecture. The Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC), which houses the Seattle Seahawks corporate headquarters and training center, is located in the City of Renton at 12 Seahawks Way along the Lake Washington shoreline. The application for the floating safety barrier at VMAC was prepared in June and July 2008. At that time, the Seahawks had not yet moved into the facility, but were already beginning to experience a good deal of boat traffic curious about the construction of the Facility and the outdoor practice fields. Accordingly, the application indicated that increased waterfront traffic was "anticipated." Since mid-August 2008, when the DECLARATION OF LANCE LOPES - I FOSTER PEPPER PLlC 1111 Tlum AVENUi, Sum.woo SU'I"l'l.E, WASHINGTON 98101~3l" PHONE (206)4474iOC) FAX(l()6)4f'-9700 I Seahawks occupied the VMAC facility, that anticipation has become a reality. The team began 2 practicing on the outdoor fields on August 19 th , after its summer training camp ended. Despite 3 the private nature of the practices and no publicity of the practice times, there was a large 4 increase in daily nearshore boat traffic. As one example, at the August 30, 2008, practice I 5 observed approximately twenty (20) power boats at one time milling around the nearshore at 6 VMAC trying to observe practice or see the Seahawks players. We anticipate that this boat 7 traffic will dramatically increase next summer during training camp when the practices are open 8 to the public, tbe outdoor practice schedule is published and predictably known to the public. 9 3. The Lighting Required by the Coast Guard Would Not Be Intrusive. 10 Since the public hearing on the floating safety barrier, the Seahawks have been informed 11 by the United States Coast Guard that battery powered lights will be required on the proposed 12 safety boom. These lights are very low voltage and would be only approximately 1.5 cd 13 (candles) in strength. This is easily visible when close to the light source but would appear only 14 as a speck of light at greater distances. The flash length and period between flashes can be 15 programmed so that the light would give an indication to boaters but not be intrusive to others. 16 A typical scenario is to have the light on for approximately one-half second, then be off for two 17 or more seconds. In addition, these lights are aimed in a fairly narrow band (range of elevation) 18 so that the light is directed along the water toward boaters and not upward toward homes on the 19 uplands. 20 4. SafelY Barriers in Lake Washington Are Not Unprecedented and Not Intrusive. 21 The Seahawks agree that the floating safety barrier at VMAC would not be a precedent 22 for other safety barriers in Lake Washington. The Seahawks are the only professional sports 23 team located on the lake and that trains outdoors. It is incorrect to conclude, however, that safety 24 barriers along Lake Washington are unique or unprecedented. There are at least five examples of 25 these types of barriers where motorized water craft are not permitted within three miles of 26 DECLARATION OF LANCE LOPES - 2 FOSTER PEPPER PLLC 1111 THIRD AVENUE,.

Prior to the site's use by the Seahawks (after several years of 12 being unused and remediated), the area of Lake Washington offshore from the VMAC site was 13 filled with barges of logs that were used in conjunction with the Port Quendall operation. 14 Historic photographs of the areas offshore from the VMAC site (previously known as the North 15 and South Baxter Property) are attached as Exhibit B to this declaration. Those log barges 16 extended much further into the lake than the proposed safety boom and were far more restrictive 17 in that no activity could occur within their boundaries.

Development Services Recommendation: Approve The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on October 21, 2008, After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining available information on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES Thefollowing minutes are a summary of the October 28,2008 hearillg. The legal record is recorded Oil CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday, October 28, 2008, at 9:01 a.m, in the Council Chambers 011 the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No.1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map application, proof of posting, proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

The project consists ofa floating safety barrier, which would be installed in conjunction with the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, Seattle Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility. It is located in the COR zone on an approximate 16.5 acre site. It is located on Seahawks Wayan the shoreline of Lake Washington. This barrier would protect the shoreline from excessive disturbance of the shallow aquatic habitat in the area and prevent vessels, swimmers and waders from coming in contact and becoming entangled in the various debris that is submerged along the shoreline in this area. The barrier would be approximately 1,100 feet in length, it is proposed to be attached to the newly constructed Seahawks pier and would extend approximately 930 feet to the southwest, wrap around four existing pilings and tum inland approximately 100 feet and be attached by a screw bolted into the shoreline. The floating barrier would be attached to six concrete anchors lowered to the lake bottom. Equipment used in this project would include a tugboat, a construction crane mounted on a barge, a work skiff and various small power and hand tools. This anchor system was chosen over other systems due to the soft bottom of the lake in this area, the weight of the concrete anchors would eventually cause them to sink into the soft bottom. The floating barrier system would be light orange in color and are in approximately nine-foot sections. It appears that boaters are attracted to the practice site and this is a unique protective measure. The barrier has been proven to prevent vessels from entering restricted or unsafe areas. The Examiner questioned if the barrier would be visible at night, lights used so people will not run into it. Mr. Wasser stated that it would be light orange in color so it would be visible. The ERC issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated with 2 measures. One of those measures required the use of a color that complements the shoreline. The project appears consistent with the Shoreline Conditional Use and confonns to the City Master Plan. The Examiner stated that he is concerned about creating a precedent. Are people allowed to cross over certain adjacent properties in the lake, even though often property lines do go out into the lake itself? Is access being barred to kayaks and other boaters that should have access to these 1,000 linear feet? Actually, there is 30,000- 100,000 square feet of water surface that is being cut off. Mr. Wasser stated that the barrier would be floating between 30 and 100 feet off shore in 3-9 feet of water. It would close ofT that are to all boaters including kayakers. The nature of the shape of the shoreline dictates the 30 to 100 feet of closure. Roger Pearce, Foster Pepper, 1111 Third Avenue, Ste 3400, Seattle 98101 stated that he represents Football Northwest. He introduced Mr. Alan Foltz with Waterfront Construction, the designers ofthe safety barrier. Mr. Carl Hadley of Cedar Rock is also present and is the Fisheries Biologist that has worked on this project. Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 3 This is a unique situation because it is a professional football team and is the only professional sports facility on Lake Washington or on a shoreline in Washington. There is more than anticipated boat traffic, mostly people looking at the new facility, people wanting to see the team practicing outside in the open air fields. The training camp takes place during the summer and throughout the season during the week the team practices at the facility on the outdoor fields. This part of the lake is extremely shallow, in most places it runs 3 to 6 or 7 feet deep. There arc a lot of contaminated sediments from the old Quendal Mill operation. The sediments in front of this property were not so contaminated that ecology required clean up in that area. It would be best of these were not stirred up by prop wash. There also is a great amount of submerged debris that boats and kayakers could run into. Some have been removed, some have broken off just under the water line. The barrier would keep people and powerboats from getting too close and damaging the shoreline. Regarding lighting ofthe barrier, it will be posted on navigation charts that will inform boaters of its location. The US Coast Guard may require lights, they have not talked to them about it as yet. They were hoping to make the barrier a bright color rather than a subdued one. Perhaps they can go with a bright green or white that would be more visible. Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, 205 NE Northlake Way, Ste. 230, Seattle 98105 stated that he is in charge of the permit development for this project. They have been successful with their permits and the Corps of Engineers who are in their final review stage. They are almost ready to issue the Corps Pennit. If the Corps of Engineers are not satisfied with their findings, then the Department of Ecology will be called to do further review of the project. The barrier would be 80% visible and so lights were not initially proposed, they are awaiting comments from the Coast Guard. Various colors are available, green is available and a standard color used for floats. There are also custom colors. The length of the barrier will be approximately 950 feet, the intent was where it goes out away from the shore it goes around some existing dock piling that is already in the lake and then it would come back straight to the shore. The sewer line in the lake is farther south of the last anchor and some 40-80 feet from the shoreline. The Examiner asked if the public was generally allowed to cross the water in this area? Mr. Pearce stated State does allow the public to fish, float, or swim in waters of the State that has been modified by the Shoreline Management Act. If a dock or pier is installed, that impediment to navigation is lawful and does not violate the public duty doctrine. On Exhibit 5, upon questioning by Mr. Pearce, Mr. Foltz pointed out the dotted line that indicates the Metro Sewer Line in Lake Washington near the project site. The depth of water at the southern end of the safety barrier is shown to be 3'3". Carl Hadley, Cedar Rock Consultants, 19609244"' Avenue NE, Woodinville, WA 98077 stated that he could not speak to treaty rights, the Seahawks has committed to working with the tribes to make sure that,[ they want access to that area to fish, they would be provided the access. Again the tribes were not so concerned about being able to fish in this area, but the protection of the fish. The 18" diameter buoys are a great hiding place for fish, however the predators also like shaded areas. Bass or larger trout will hide in the shaded areas and ambush young salmon as they go past. This is also typical of old docks where there are hidden cavities underneath, the benefit of this safety barrier is that they will be bright Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 4 colored and fish will show up against bright colored objects. Some of the new pilings that are being installed are being painted white or are made of steel to keep fish from hiding in and around them. The material that the barrier is made of is very clean and is a standard material used in aquatic situations. Kayren Kittrick, Community and Economic Development showed Exhibit 4, with a highlighted dotted line showing the sewer line and where it runs in this area and crosses to Mercer Island. She specifically asked them to have someone come out and mark the lines before the installation of the anchors just to be on the safe side. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this projcct. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hcaring closed at 9:44 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Football Northwest LLC, filed a request for a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit as well as a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. There was no opposition from the public regarding the subject proposal. 6. The subject site is located at 12 Seahawks Way (aka 5015 Ripley Lane North). The subject site is located west of Lake Washington Boulevard on the shoreline of Lake Washington. The subject site is the location of the Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility. 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial, office or residential uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The subject site is currently zoned COR (commercial, office or residential). 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1823 enacted in April 1960. 10. The subject site is approximately 16.56 acres. II. The subject site is essentially flat and the lot includes the shoreline and lake surface. 12. The subject site contains both the Seahawks indoor training facility and office space as well as outdoor practice fields. Public access space is located on the north end of the large campus near a new dock. Seahawks Safely Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 5 13. The applicant proposes installing an approximately 1,000-foot floating safety barner 111 the luke. Thc barrier would be located between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline and be held 111 place by concrete anchors. The barrier would begin at the new dock and extend approximately 930 feet southwest to an existing pile and then tum shoreward for another approximately 100 feet. Six SOO-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed on the lake bottom. The anchors will settle into the soft bottom. 14. The lake's depth in the area defined by the proposed barrier is between 3 and 7 feet deep. The bottom contains mucky sediments, old pilings, rotted wood and possible contaminants as well as other potential hazards to navigation and swimming or walking. 15. The applicant had considered using other anchoring methods but determined the concrete blocks were most appropriate. The soft, mucky bottom limited the choices and the weights were a practical solution that would limit work in the muck that could potentially stir up contaminated sediments. 16. The barrier is intended to prevent entry into the defined area. The barrier would also breakup boat wakes thereby protecting the shoreline rehabilitation efforts. 17. The barrier would consist of a linked series of 18-inch diameter, 9 foot long polyethylene floats. Approximately 80 percent of the barrier would be above the waterline. 18. The applicant proposed using an orange colored barrier to maintain visibility. The ERC required that the barrier be a subdued color rather than the orange that was initially proposed. Color choice could affect salmonid predation. Darker colors could give predators a hiding place or a background color that could camouflage predators. Brighter or lighter colors would present fewer opportunities for hiding. 19. The system will need review, approval and permits from the Coast Guard and the Army Corps. The Coast Guard will determine iflighting is required to prevent night collisions. 20. If the barrier is located between 30 feet and 100 feet from the shoreline and extends approximately 1,000 linear feet between 30,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet of water surface defined by the barrier and the shoreline would be put off limits to boating, canoeing and kayaking. 2 I. The applicant indicated that unless the barrier were installed to keep people away significant disturbance to the shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation would occur. The applicant's narrative was submitted on June 27, 2008. It states: "The primary purposes of the safety barrier are: I) to protect environmental quality along the shoreline from excessive disturbance that could occur ifboats and people were allowed free access to this area; 2) a public safety measure to help prevents boats, waders, and swimmers from contacting submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts. Summer training camp, and to a lesser extent practice sessions during the football season will draw spectators. There are limited upland locations from where the outdoor practice facility can be observed so some people will come via Lake Washington in powerboats and other watercraft. This number could be substantial in the summer and early fall." 22. A Metro sewer line is located just south of the proposed shoreward portion of the barrier. That agency advised using caution around the line, which is in very shallow water. Scahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10,2008 Page 6 23. The system is officially an "ArmorFloat Barrier System." It is designed to close off restricted areas or prevent boaters from entering unsafe or closed areas. 24. The work will be done in the time window specified by the state to avoid interfering with salmon activity in the lake. 25. Lake Washington's shoreline is classified as a Shoreline of Statewide Significance and therefore any development adjacent to it is subject to the City's Shoreline Master Program. This section of the shoreline is designated as an Urban Shoreline. 26. Construction would be done by barge, tugboat and work skiff and would occur waterward of the Ordinary High Water Mark. 27. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has submitted comments and their concerns regarding this project. The applicant has indicated that they would work with the tribe to ensure treaty rights are protected. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The criteria for approving a Shoreline Conditional Use permit are twofold. There are City criteria and those City criteria require compliance with additional State criteria. Those criteria are as follows: Renton: Section 4-9-190.L5: 5. Conditional Use: a. Purpose: Upon proper application, a conditional use permit may be granted. The obj ective of a conditional use provision is to provide more control and flexibility for implementing the regulations of the Master Program. With provisions to control undesirable effects, the scope of uses can be expanded to include many uses. b. Decision Criteria: Uses classified as conditional uses can be permitted only aftcr consideration and by meeting such performance standards that make the use compatible with other permitted uses within that area. A conditional use permit will be granted subject to each of the following conditions: i. The use must be compatible with other permitted uses within that area. ii. The use will not interfere with the public use of public shorelines. iii. Design of the site will be compatible with the surroundings and the City's Master Program. iv. The use shall be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Master Program. v. The use meets the conditional use criteria in WAC 173-27-160. Washington State: WAC 173-27-160: Review criteria for conditional use permits. The purpose of a conditional use permit is to Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 7 provide a system within the master program, which allows flexibility in the application of use regulations in a manner consistent with the policies ofRCW 90.58.020. In authorizmg a conditional use, special conditions may be attached to the permit by local government or the department to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed use and/or to assure consistency of the project with the act and the local master program. (1) Uses, which are classified or set forth in the applicable master program as conditional uses may be authorized provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following: (a) That the proposed use is consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and the master program; (b) That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of public shorelines; (c) That the proposed use of the site and design of the project is compatible with other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the comprehensive plan and shoreline master program; (d) That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located; and (e) That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. (2) In the granting of all conditional use permits, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if conditional use permits were granted for other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the conditional uses shall also remain consistent with the policies ofRCW 90.58.020 and shall not produce substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment. (3) Other uses which are not classified or set forth in the applicable master program may be authorized as conditional uses provided the applicant can demonstrate consistency with the requirements of this section and the requirements for conditional uses contained in the master program. (4) Uses which are specifically prohibited by the master program may not be authorized pursuant to either subsection (1) or (2) ofthis section. 2. This shallow area of Lake Washington has generally been cluttered with debris, pilings, etc for a long time and there do not appear to be any prior efforts at restricting access to this area and with it restricting access to between 30,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet of water surface. Although, clearly the change in occupancy ofthe associated upland site to the Seahawks Training Facility has or will possibly change the complexion and/or number of boaters along the shoreline 1t1 this area. The applicant is also restoring the shoreline with vegetation, which they would like to protect trom intrusions by errant walkers (potential trespass) or boat wakes. But does this change in upland use call for such an intrusive solution as the one proposed -approximately 1,000 feet of floating barrier? Might it be possible that Jess restrictive measures could be used before resorting to the closure of this area and the installation of an 18-inch high, 1,000-foot long barrier, of a potentially bright color and one that may Seahawks Safety Banier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 8 potentially be lighted at night? 3. The training center has only been open a very short time so that any conclusions on those who may attempt to get a close view from the water is not based on more than some level of conjecture. It might be possible to dissuade boats and others by less dramatic, less intrusive means than a one thousand foot (1,000 foot) floating barrier erected between 30 feet and 100 feet from the shoreline. This type of barrier is unprecedented. Nowhere else on the lake is such a barrier evident. This office believes that less drastic options should be tried before installing the proposed barrier and if those lesser measures fail then the barrier would be appropriate. 4. Although it remains undecided, as noted above, nighttime lighting might be needed. The Coast Guard will make a final determination. But if lighting is necessary, it will make the barrier even more intrusive. This office will speculate that such a substantial impediment running 1,000 linear feet and located between 30 feet and 100 feet from shore will have to be lighted to avoid collisions in the evening hours. The applicant mentioned that it will eventually be added to nautical or navigation charts but do casual boaters use such charts in Lake Washington? If they did then the debris, obstructions and impediments in the shallow water as well as the shallow water itself would or should be evident and a self-deterrent. This office does not outright oppose such a barrier if other means cannot overcome curiosity. But perhaps other means should be tried initially and if they fail after the first full year of operation of the training facility then the barrier could be installed. 5. Therefore, it appears reasonable to try to use warning signs on floats or buoys to warn off intruders as an initial method of providing a measure of safety. Then if that does not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed. 6. Again, if the barrier becomes necessary the criteria governing its location must still be satisfied and that discussion follows. 7. The area in which the subject site is located is zoned for and developed with COR uses including a new residential plat and the training facility. The barrier is unusual but might be analogized to the many docks and piers that extend out into the lake. Although those docks and piers do not limit access to as wide an area of the lake, they do limit navigation in some shoreline areas like this barrier would do. 8. The proposed barrier will limit access to the shoreline but this is not a public shoreline, although some of the surface waters are open to the public. The applicant has provided access to a portion of this shoreline near the north end of the property. It is a section of shoreline that is being restored and protecting native vegetation is appropriate. It will create some obstacles toward navigation but the submerged debris and piling effectively do that now in some areas. 9. This is an urban portion of the shoreline so the banier is not intruding into a tranquil or natural area but it might still be intrusive and more so if lighted at night. 10. The next series of criteria are contained within the Washington Administrative Code. One of the paramount goals is to protect the ecology of the shoreline. In this case, the banier will attempt to protect native vegetation as well as protect public safety. The few concrete anchors will have limited impacts on the lake bottom. The banier itself could harbor or camouflage salmon predators. Potentially barrier color could be used to limit predator impacts. II. The upland lot, the training center, is private and it extends out into the lake. Private uses are permitted in this area of the shoreline. The barrier is certainly unprecedented but might be similar to the docks Seahawks Safety Barrier File No.: LUA-08-098, ECF, SMC, SM November 10, 2008 Page 9 and piers already in this area. 12. The comprehensive plan designates this area as suitable for commercial, office and residential uses. Screening off private property and protecting the public safety seems legitimate if less intrusive measures fail. 13. The proposed barrier will hopefully not create any significant adverse affects on the shoreline environment. It is intended to protect new vegetation and if an approximate color can be selected limit predation on salmon. 14. There really is no way to judge the cumulative impact or impacts. It is unlikely that similar barriers will be installed along the lakeshore but, again, this proposal could create a precedent. 15. Since barriers are neither permitted nor prohibited outright they may be reviewed under the Conditional Use criteria. RECOMMENDATION: The Conditional Use Permit and the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the barrier should be approved if other measures do not prevent intrusion into the area and it is approved subject to the following condition: 1. For one training season the applicant shall use warning signs on floats or buoys or other similar measures to warn off intruders as an initial method of providing a measure of safety. If those measures do not work, the barrier can be erected as proposed. ORDERED THIS 10 th day of November 2008.

The Appearance of Fairness Doctriue provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers iu the laud use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation ofthis doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. .(> N I EXISTING LOG SEAWALL,. (6)500L8S CONCRETE .........

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND Pag e 3 of8 Date 04/21/1960 11 /01 /2004 11 /01 /2004 12 /07 /2006 04/21/2008 The applicant is requesting a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit and a Shoreline Substantial · Development Permit for the installation of approximately 1,100 feet of floating safety barrier. The project site is the location of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center/Seattte Sea hawks Headquarters and Training Facility . The applicant states that unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation could occur. In addition , there is a significant amount of submerged debris (logs, timber, barges, rebar , etc .) in thi s area which poses a potential hazard to vessels and /o r swimmers. While the shoreline is private property, the Seattle Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to th e north for public access. The safety barrier would discourage watercraft access to the more dangerous and sensitive areas near the practice fields . HEX Rpt. 08-098 The barrier system proposed , ArmorFloat Barrier System, is specifically designed to prevent vessel access to restricted areas . Design purposes inc lude demarcating restr icted areas and stopping errant rec reational boaters from entering unsafe or closed areas . The proposed barrier would extend from the new dock (LUA07-137 , SM) at the north end of the site southwest approximately 930 feet to an existing pile . From the pile the barrier would turn 90 degrees to the southeast for approximately 100 feet to a new anchor on the shoreline. A total of six 500-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed in Lake Washington approximately 150 feet apart to hold the barrier in place. The barrier would float offshore between 30 and 100 feet Ci ty of Rent on Department Community & Econ omi c Developmelll Pr elimi nary Rep ort to th e Hea ring Examiner Seallawks Safety Barrier LUA08-098, SM, CU-H, ECF Rep ort of October 28, 2008 Pa ge 4 of 8 from the shoreline in water depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). The immediate shoreline is currently being planted with riparian vegetation as part of the Seattle Sea hawks Headquarters project and much of the existing creosote timber is being removed. New attachment hardware would be fixed to the recently constructed dock . A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil would be set on the shoreline just above the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The floating barrier would be stretched from the dock, around the pile, to the shoreline, and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors would be lowered by barge-mounted crane to the lakebed and set on soft mud . It is anticipated that the anchors would settle rapidly into the mud and over time may be completely covered by the mud surface. Other anchoring systems were rejected because they require a firm substrate for resistance and the lake bottom in this area is made up of very soft silt and sands of indeterminate depth. Construction would take place within the work window established by the Washington State Department of Fis h and W ildlife, July 16 to December 31 and would be expected to be completed within two weeks of commencement. Equipment used to install the safety barrier would consist of a tugboat, a work skiff, a barge mounted crane, and miscellaneous small power driven equipment includ ing compressors, generators , drills and hand tools during normal daylighl hours. Vessels used for ins lallation would operate in sufficient water depth to avoid contact with the lake bottom. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has submitted comments and concerns. Some of these comments and concerns are addressed in the "Bio log ical Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier", dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consultants, Inc . Other comments and concerns are not directly related to this project. The applicant has indicated that they will work with the Tribe to ensure treaty fishing rights are protected. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Env ironmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43 .21C, 1971 as amended) on September 29, 2008 the En vironmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Sea hawks Safety Barrier. A 14- day appeal period ended on October 20, 2008. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed . 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC MITIGATION MEASURES A Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) was issued by the City of Renton's Environmental Review Committee (ERC) on September 29, 2008 requiring two mitigation measures: 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations in the "Streams and Lakes Study, Floating Safety Barrier" and the "Biological Eva luation , Floating Safety Barrier" dated June 27,2008, prepared by Cedarock consulting, Inc. 2 . The applicant shall use a color which complements the shoreline in this area , if possible , for the polyethylene floats associated with the ArmorFloat Floating Barrier System . 4 . STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS HEX Rpt. 08-098 Representatives from various city departments have reviewed Ihe application materials to idenl ify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. Thes e comments are contained in the offic ial file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Dep artmental Recommendation at the end of the report.

CONSISTENCY WITH SHORELINE CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA: HEX Rpt. 08-098 RMC Section 4-9-190 .1 lists 5 criteria that the Hearing Exa miner is asked to consider when making a decision on a Shoreline Conditional Use application . These include the following: (1) The use must be compatible with other permitted uses within that area . The applicant proposes to install a pre-manufactured floating safety barrier in association with the existing Seattle Sea hawks Headquarters and Training Facility . Th is professional athletic facility is unique to this area and the floating safety barrier would be compatible with the existing use. Moreover, the barrier would prevent contact with vegetation planted to restore the sensitive shoreline area . The Sea hawks have dedicated a section of the shoreline to the north as public property and are providing public access. (2) The use will not interfere with the public use of public shorelines. The proposed floating safety barrier would protect the shoreline from excessive disturbance and prevent boats and people from entanglement with submerged piles, logs and other debris. (3) Design of the site will be compatible with the surroundings and the City's Master Program . The proposed 1,1 OO-foot safety barrier would f loat between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline in depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary h igh water level). In that the Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facilit y is a unique use in th is area and is located on a large parcel of land, it is compatible with the surrounding area. The City's Shoreline Master Program (WAC 173-26-230 b) states the design and construction shall avoid or, if that is not possible, shall minimize and mitigate the impacts to ecological functions, and critical areas resources . The proposed floating safety barrier is compatible with the objectives and policies of the City's Master Program as an accessory water use to an existing commercial use . The barrier would prevent conflicts between watercraft and the sensitive shoreline area . (4) The use shall be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City 's Master Program . The use is intended to limit disturbance of shallow aquatic habitat and newly planted vegetation, as well as protecting vessels and swimmers from submerged debris (logs , timber, barges, rebar, etc .) which poses a potential hazard . The proposed use is compatible with the Urban Environment described in the City's Master Program . (5) The use meets the conditional use criteria in WAC 173-27-160, to provide a system within the Master Program , which allows flexibility in the application of use regulations in a manner consistent with the pOlicies of RCW 90.58.020. In authorizing a conditional use, special conditions may be attached to the permit by local government or the department to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed us e and/or to assure consistency of the project with the act and the local master program. (A) Uses which are classified or set forth in the application master program as conditional uses may be authorized provided that the applicant demonstrates all the following: i) That the proposed use is consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and the master program. Lake Washington is classified as a Shoreline of Statewide Significance. The proposed floating safety barrier demonstrates compliance and /or non-applicability to the policies of RCW 90.58 .020 and the master program . ii) That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of public shorelines. The subject site is commercial/office/residential private property on the shores of Lake Washington. Limited interierence with the public use of public shoreline is anticipated to occur. Such interierence would be limited to safety measures as described above . Public access is provided on-site to the north . City of Rellto11 Department Co mmun ity & Eco nomic Developmelll Seahawks Safety Barrier Preliminary Report to the Hearing Exami ner LUA08-098, SM, CU-I/, ECF Report of October 28 , 2008 Pa ge 6 of 8 iii) That the proposed use of the site and design of the project is compatible with other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the comprehensive plan and shoreline master program. The subject site is designated Commercial /Office/Residential in the City's Comprehensive Plan and the proposed use qualifies as an accessory use to the waterfront property. The floating safety barrier is compatible in design to the adjacent lakefront properties and the Shoreline Master Program as discussed previously. iv) That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located. This section of Lake Washington is designated as Urban Environment in the Shoreline Master Program regulations and is a developed shoreline of commercial, office and residential uses. If the floating safety barrier is installed and maintained according to all required state and local permits, the use is not expected to cause significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment. v) That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effects. Because the floating safety barrier would protect the a quatic habitat and vessels and swimmers, it is not anticipated any significant detrimental effects would occur. The proposed safety barrier is proposed to be light orange in color. If a color which is compatible with the surrounding area and yet still visible is used, no adverse impacts to shoreline views are anticipated . (B) In the granting of all conditional use permits, consideration shall be given to the cumUlative impact of addition a/ requests for like actions in the area. Other shoreline cond itional uses granted for the Lake Washington shoreline have generally been for boat lifts. The cumulative impact of other conditional use permits plus the proposal is not considered to result in detrimental effects to the shoreline environment. Because the shoreline barrier is unique in the region, it is anticipated that no adverse cumulative impact would occur. (C) Other uses which are not classified or set forth in the applicable master program may be authorized as conditional uses provided the applicant can demonstrate consistency with the requirements of this section and the requirements for conditional uses contained in the master program. A floating safety barrier is not a use set forth in the Shoreline Master Program. Therefore , this project requires a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. The criteria discussed in this report have demonstrated the applicant's request is consistent with the requirements. (D) Uses which are specifically prohibited by the master program may not be authorized pursuant to either SUbsection (A) or (8) of this section. A floating safety barr ier is not specifica lly prohibited by the City 's Shoreline Master Program. H.

This action is proposed on the following application: OWNER/APPLICANT: CONTACT: PROJECT : DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION : Football Northwest LLC, 505 Fifth Avenue South , Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98104 Alan Foltz, Waterfront Construction, Inc., 205 Northlake Way, Suite 230, Seattle , WA 98105 Sea hawks Safety Barrier The applicant is requesting a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the installation of approximately 1,100 feet of floating safety barrier . The project site is the location of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center/Seattle Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility. The applicant states that unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquat ic habitat and newly planted vegetation could occur. In addition, there is a significant amount of submerged debris (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area which poses a potential hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. While the shoreline is private property, the Seattle Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north for public access . The safety barrier would discourage watercraft access to the more dangerous and sensitive areas near the practice fields. The barrier system proposed , ArmorFloat Barrier System, is specifically designed to prevent vessel access to restricted areas . Design purposes include demarcating restricted areas and stopping errant recreational boaters from entering unsafe or closed areas. The proposed barr ier would extend from the new dock (LUA07-137, SM) at the north end of the site southwest approximately 930 feet to an existing pile. From the pile the barrier would turn 90 degrees to the southeast for approximately 100 feet to a new anchor on the shoreline. A total of six 500-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed in Lake Washington approximately 150 feet apart to hold the barrier in place. The barrier would float offshore between 30 and 100 feet from the shoreline in water depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). The immediate shoreline is currently being planted with riparian vegetation as part of the Seattle Sea hawks Headquarters project and much of the existing creosote timber is being removed . New attachment hardware would be fixed to the recently constructed dock. A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil would be set on the shoreline just above the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The floating barrier would be stretched from the dock , around the pile, to the shoreline, and then fixed in place . The concrete anchors would be lowered by barge-mounted crane to the lakebed and set on soft mud . It is anticipated that the anchors would settle rapidly into the mud and over time may be completely covered by the mud surface. Other anchoring systems were rejected because they require a firm substrate for resistance and the lake bottom in th is area is made up of very soft silt and sands of indeterminate depth . Construction would take place within the work window established by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, July 16 to December 31 and would be expected to be completed within two weeks of commencement. Equipment used to install the safety barrier would consist of a tugboat, a work skiff, a barge mounted crane, and miscellaneous small power driven equipment including compressors , generators, drills and hand tools dur ing normal daylight hours . Vesse ls used for installat ion would operate in suffic ient water depth to avoid contact with the lake bottom . The cost and fair market value of the proposed project is expected to be $90,812.00. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has submitted comments and concerns. Some of these comments and concerns are addressed in the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier", dated June 27 , 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consu ltants , Inc . Other comments and concerns are not directly related to this project. The applicant has indicated that they will work with the Tribe to ensure treaty fishing rights are protected . An En vironmental (SEPA) Review Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated was issued for this project on September 29 , 2008 .

Report of September 29, 200g [PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION I BACKGROUND "/\"ironnu:ntol RerieH' Committee Report Uf408-098, FCF, SMC, SM Page 2 of 6 The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review, a Shoreline Conditional Usc Pemlit and a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit tix the installation of approximately 1,100 feet of Hoating safety barrier. The project site is the location oftbe Virginia Mason Athletic Center/Seattle Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility. Tbe applicant states tbat unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and ne\vly planted vegetation could occur. In addition, there is a signiticant amount of submerged debris (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area which poses a potential hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. While the shorclim; is private property, tbc Seattle Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to tbe north for public access. The safety barrier would discourage access to the more d,mgerous and sensitive areas near the practice fields. The barrier system proposed, AmlOrFloat Barrier System, is specifically designed to provide a positive boat barril:r bet ween the general public and restricted areas. Design purposes include stopping errant recreational bO(lters and demarcating unsafe or closed areas. The proposed barrier would extend trom the new dock at the north end of the site southwest approximately 930 feet to an existing pile. From the pile the harrier would turn 90 degrees to the southeast for approximately 100 feet to a new ancbor on the shoreline. A total of six SOO-pound pre-cast concrete anchors would be placed in Lake Washington approximately 150 feet apart. The barrier would lloat offshore between 30 and 100 [(Oct from the shoreline in water depths ranging from approximately 3 to 9 feet (at ordinary high water level). The immediate shoreline is currently being planted as part of the Seattle Seahawks I leadquarters project and much of the existing creosote timber is being removed. i'\ew attachment hardware would be fixed to the dock. A second attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the soil would be set on the shoreline just above tbe Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The floating barrier would be stretched from the dock, around the pile, to the shoreline, and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors would he lowered by crane to the lakebed and set on soft mud. It is anticipated that the anchors would settle rapidly into the mud and over time may be completely covered by the mud surface, Other ancboring systems \vcrc rejected because they require a firm substrate for resistance and the lakt: bottom in this area is made up of very sott silt and sands of indeterminate depth. Construction would take place within the work window established by the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife, July 16 to December 3 I and would be expected to he completed within two weeks of commencement. Equipment used to install the safety barrier would consist of a tughoat, a work skitl a barge mounted Gram.:, and miscdlancous small power driven equipment including compressors, generators, drills and hand tools during nomlal daylight hours. Vessels used for installation would operate in sufficient watcr deptb to avoid contact with the lake bottom. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has submitted comments and concerns, Some orthcse comments and concerns are addressed in the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier'·, dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consultants, Inc, Other comments and concems are not directly related to this project. I[PART TWO:.

Limited storage of equipment and materials may occur on the Scatunvks' Headquarters and Tr(lining Facility property, if a suitable location is available. Staging \vould occur in the contractor-s yard and on the barge. No substantial change to the upland area is anticipated as a result of this proposed project. The safety barrier would attenU(lte wave action and erosion potential would he decreased \\'ith the project. The shoreline is currently protected from erosion by measures required by the Scahawks' project approval that would remain in place through proposed project completion. Mitigation Mcasures: No mitigation is proposed. Nexus: Not applicable 2, Water --Wetland, Streams, Lakes Impacts: A "Streams and Lakc Study, Floating SalCty Barrier" and a '"Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier", both dated June 27. 2008 and prepared by Cedarock Consultants, were submitted with the project application. As stated in these reports, minor disturbances of water quality would occur during placement of the anchors. A small area around each anchor \vcmld be subject to increased turbidity (IS san/silt substrate in the vicinity is disturbed by placement of the anchor. The fine substrate would not travel far and all material is expected to settle within hours. Fish outside of the immediate area would not be affected. The equipment which would be used by the contractor commonly operates in Lake Washington and other water bodies and is not expected to create water quality problems. Staff recommends a mitigation measure which would require the applicant to comply with the recommendations in the '"Streams and Lakes Study, Floating SalCty Barrier" and the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier" dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedaroek Consultants, Inc. Such measures include: • No new vertical structure will bc added to Lake Washington to anchor the safety barrier. • In-water work will bc completed during the July 16 to Deeembcr 31 work window established by the Army Corps of Engineers for Lake Washington or as otherwise specified in applicable permits.

The tug shall remain in the deepest water possible where propwash is less likely to disturb bed sediments. • A spill response kit designed for rapid response for cleanup of hazardous ll18terial spills would be located on-site. At a minimum, this kit would include material lor containment and clean-up of petroleum product. • Telephone numbers of appropriate agency/department contacts would be posted on-site in case a spill should occur. • Processes likely to create hazardous byproducts (such as welding, cutting, and drilling) sghall be completed whenever possible in the contractor's yard. Similar processes conducted on-site shall take place on the barge. • All potentially hazardous material (such as lubricants) shall be stored in an approved area on the barge. • No riparian vegetation shall be pern1anelltly removed for the project. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall comply with the recommendations in the "Streams and Lakes Study. Floating Safety Barrier" and the "Biological Evaluation, Floating Safety Barrier" dated June 27, 2008, prepared by Cedarock Consultants, Inc. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 3. Vegetation Impacts: The "Streams and [.akes" and "Biological Evaluation" for the proposed project state that the shoreline near the project is cUlTently being restored per the requirements of the Seahawks Headquarters and dock replacement projects. The area is being cleared of non-native species and old creosote coated timbers. They will be enhanced with forb, shrub, and tree canopy layers consisting entirely of native species. A small area (approximately 3.5 square feet) would be covered by each of the six concrete anchors. Any invertebrates. aquatic plants. and other benthos under the anchor would be destroyed. ;\ small and localized area of turbidity associated with the placement of the anchors would occur. Overall these effects would be rdatively minor. Slaffrecommends the same mitigation as for "v\iater Quality", ahove. Mitigation Measures: Sec mitigation measure for "Water Quality", above. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 4. Fish and Wildlife Impacts: Aquatic and wildl ife habitat on the site consists of a Class I lake and associated riparian zones. At the project site, these features have been heavily impacted by a long history of industrial land usc (timber processing) and the resulting associated contamination of both the upland and the lake bottom. According to the Biological Evaluntion, Lake Washington slipp0l1s a variety of anadromous salmonids, including Chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon, steel head and cutthroat trout. Runs of non-anadromous kokancc salmon are also present and bull trout have been observed. Lake \Vashington contains a ",,:ide variety of non-salmonid species, some of which arc considered "wann water" species. These include both native and non-native species, sllch as speckled dace, three-spine stickleback, northern squawtish, yellow perch, black crappie, largemouth bass, small mouth bass, mountain wbitelish, largescale sucker, longtin smelt, and prickly sculpin among other species. The proposed floating safety barrier may atTect, but not adversely affect these speCIes. The data available lists several "species of concern" that may be in the vicinity of the proposed actioll, including Chinook salmon, bull trout, Dolly Varden trout, steelhead, coho salmon, and pink salmon. The proposed floating safety barrier may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect these species.

The geese were observed nesting along the vegetated shoreline and in the osprey nest located ncar the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) substation nesting platfonn. Canada geese and bald eagles have occasionally been observed perching on the nest platform during the winter months. It is assumed the bald eagles used the perch site to forage for fish and watcrrowl along the lake shoreline. Three bald cagle nest sites have been historically reported between 0.8 and 0.9 miles west and northwest of the site on Mercer Island. Two orthe nest sites arc not known to have been nsed for the last several years. The third nest was reported "ctive in 2006. PSI' moved an osprey nest from a retired distribution pole on the Baxter site to a new nest pole platform erected on the south side of the substation in 1993. PSE also placcd a crossbar on top or the lIrst transmission pole leading away from the station to provide a safe place fix the birds to perch. The osprey successfully nested on the new platlorm tram 1993 nntil 1997, when the osprey built a new nest at the top of the wood chip elevator located on the Barbee M ill site to the south of the propel1y. Osprey continue to return to the area and successfully breed. Osprey are present in the area from mid-March through August. Osprey have been observed hunting small mammals (likcly mice) on the Sea hawks Headquarters and Training Facility site, as \vell as fishing the lake, Beaver have been observed in wetland habitat along the lake shoreline and in the Gypsy Subbasin Drainage east of the site. Pond sliders have been observed on floating logs. Red-winged blackbirds were observed using cattail habitat in the project vicinity. Snipe were observed in the cottonwood sapling-dominated areas upland. Other species of passerine birds and amphibians could be sUPP0l1ed along the shoreline and the narrow red alder-dominated upland shordine arca. Numerous duck species also usc the offshore area adj accnt to the site. Although the site has little wildlife habitat, there is the possibility that the Burlington i\orthern Santa Fe Railroad Right -ot~ Way provides corridor habit"t to wildlife toler"nt of urban situations. This potential wildlife area ahuts the site on its east side. There is limited habitat along the shoreline immediately adjacent to I.ake Washington. The current lack of mature native canopy limits nesting and foraging habitat for most species. It is anticipated that this habitat 'l-vill improve as the restored shoreline matures, Staff recommends the SHllle mitigation measure as in "'Valer Quality" and "Vegetation'); above. iVtitigation IVleasures: See mitigation measure for "Water Quality'" and ·Vegetation--. ahove.

Following are responses to your comments and concerns on the envirorunental documentation for this project. Carl Hadley of Cedarock Consultants, Inc., the project consultant, has assisted us in addressing your comments and concerns. Also, we understand that you would like a copy of the Biological Evaluation prepared for this project; and, one was mailed to you under separate cover. Your comments are paraphrased below, followed by our responses. Tribal comments regarding the SEPA environmental checklist: 1. It is our understanding that there is a new replacement dock proposed at this site. This information, its file number, etc should be noted in the response in item 9, page 2 of the checklist. See the checklist response to item S.d that mentions a new pier under B070755. A dock was previously permitted (File LUA07-137, approved December 10, 2007) and constructed on the property to replace a former dock. Notice was provided to the Tribe for the permitting of that dock. The dock replacement is not related to the proposal for the floating safety barrier. 2. Similarly, we are unaware of proposed boathouse repair work at this site and would appreciate a copy of the application materials for this work. While the project may be SEPA exempt, it is occurring within 200 feet of Lake Washington and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe should be given an opportunity to review this proposal for its potential impacts to treaty protected fisheries resources. Comment noted. The siding of the boathouse in the northwest comer of the property is unsightly. At the request of their neighbors to the north, the Seahawks have proposed to replace the siding. AlI work will be above ordinary high water and no changes to the size, footprint, or function of the existing structure is proposed. The repairs will not increase impacts to fisheries or other shoreline values. The design of the boathouse repair (to include translucent panels) will improve existing conditions by allowing more light to reach the water. A Certificate of --------------10-5-5-So-u-th-G-r-a-dY--w-~--.R-e-n-to-n-,w--~-h-m-~-o-n-9-8-05-7-------------~ ~ Thi", n"nPr ,nnt:lin<; "nO!~ rPr.Vclffj mrltt"ri!'ll 10% oost O)T1<;unlf"r AHEAD OF THE CURVE Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 Exemption from Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (LUA08-l 00, SME) was issued for this project on September 5, 2008. Notice is not required for shoreline exemptions. 3. Please clarify if the 1,100 foot long log boom with concrete anchors will be permanently located in Lake Washington or will be placed seasonally. The intent of the safety barrier is to protect the sensitive and shallow shoreline area from frequent boat traffic being evidenced currently on a year-round basis. The safety barrier is intended to be permanent. 2 4. Please describe the excessive disturbance that is expected at the site that will affect the environmental quality of the "private shoreline" at this site. As described in the various environmental documents prepared for the proposed project, the primary purposes of the safety barrier are: 1) to protect environmental quality along the Lake Washington shoreline and nearshore (littoral zone) from excessive disturbance that could occur if boats and people were allowed free access to this area; and 2) a public safety measure to help prevent boats, waders, and swimmers from contacting submerged piles, logs, dolphins and other artifacts. There are limited upland locations from where the Seahawks outdoor football practice fields can be observed, so people try to observe football practice via Lake Washington in powerboats and other watercraft. Based on the high number of daily boating spectators already evidenced for practice sessions during the football season, it is anticipated that even heavier volumes will be generated during future training activities. This number could be substantial in the summer·and early fall. Football Northwest has indicated that it has and will continue to invest a great deal of effort in restoring the shoreline as part of the site environmental remediation and development mitigation process. Studies have shown that the nearshore area of Lake Washington in this area is utilized by a diverse aquatic biota despite some lingering contamination. The safety barrier is proposed as a proactive measure to limit access into the shallowest parts of the nearshore area and the adjacent riparian buffer in anticipation of increased waterfront traffic. Unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly replanted vegetation could occur. Boat wakes adjacent to the shoreline could increase erosion rates. Prop wash could disturb sediments and potentially expose contaminated soils. There is also a significant quantity of submerged artifacts (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area, much of which poses a hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. The shoreline is also private property. While the Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north as public property, and are providing public access, the safety barrier will be one way to help discourage people from accessing the more sensitive private area near the practice fields. Other methods including fencing and security personnel will also be utilized. . Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 3 5. The environmental checklist fails to discuss the proposed shoreline area mitigation and what impacts this mitigation is proposed to offset. See item 3.a.2. Also in item 4.b., the checklist indicates that there is an already approved planting plan for the shoreline. Please clarifY for which specific project components this planting plan was approved so that we can determine if the log boom is proposing additional mitigation or is seeking to get credit for already approved mitigation for other potential impacts at this site, including the built football faciltities and practice fields and new dock. The shoreline mitigation referred to in the question is part of the mitigation plan for development ofthe uplands with the Seahawks office building and practice facilities. Those facilities and the corresponding mitigation plans were permitted and approved in 2006, after public notice and hearings. The upland mitigation planting plan is being implemented and monitored in conjunction with the construction and operation of the upland improvements. All mitigation credit for shoreline plantings are for the upland development. No plantings are proposed as part of the safety barrier project. The proposed safety barrier is an environmental protection measure designed primarily to protect the nearshore littoral zone and riparian plantings from disturbance caused by curious spectators. After the upland facilities were constructed the Seahawks realized that increased boat and human traffic could disturb the sediments and plantings in those areas. The safety barrier is a passive barrier designed to protect the aquatic area most used by juvenile Chinook and other salmon, and most subject to disturbance and damage. Ancillary development projects proposed by Football Northwest and approved by the City of Renton include replacement of an existing dock, re-siding and re-roofing of an existing boathouse, and installation of the safety barrier. As general mitigation for these actions, and as requested by the City and Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, Football Northwest proposed (and completed this summer) to clean-up anthropogenic debris along the nearshore area of Lake Washington. This includes removing all readily accessible trash, Styrofoam, creosote timber, concrete, and lumber from along the shoreline between the low (winter) lake level up to and just above ordinary high water while leaving all other large woody debris (including old log boom logs). The clean-up work was not specifically designated as mitigation for anyone proposed action but was completed as general environmental mitigation for all overwater work being proposed. The other overwater actions (dock replacement and boathouse refurbishment) also include project specific mitigation as discussed in the application materials for those projects (see response to Comment #7). 6. The environmental checklist fails to note that juvenile salmonids, both ESA listed and non-listed species use the site as a mitigration route. For one source of information, please see httD://www.ecv.wa.govlprogramslswsma/sl guidelSMPldown{oadlhabitat use or chinookDd(. Additional scientific data and references for Lake Washington are available if needed. The checklist notes the presence of migrating salmonids without going into additional detail. The presence of juvenile salmonids was acknowledged, and supplementary detail was Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 4 provided in the Biological Evaluation that was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers, and reviewed by NOAA as required to deal with potential impacts to Chinook salmon and other listed species. A description of both juvenile and adult salmon migration patterns in this area was provided. 7. Please clarifY how the proposed log boom and concrete anchors will "help mitigate potential impacts from future shoreline disturbance that could occur with increase use of Lake Washington in the vicinity of the site". As part of this discussion, please provide information about how the proposed dock, boathouse and other shoreline uses at this site will also contribute to these future potential impacts. Furthermore, please explain why no log boom is needed to protect the area from the existing permitted pier location to the property as shown in Sheet 2 of 5 in the checklist. Please see the response to Comment #4 for environmental benefits expected by the proposed action. The dock replacement and boathouse refurbishment are separate actions with independent utility that are not dependent upon the safety barrier proposal. The safety barrier proposal is a separate action designed to address an existing condition -boaters potentially disturbing the shallows in order to view activities on the Seahawks site. Mitigation is proposed for both the dock replacement and boathouse refurbishment projects as described in the respective application packages. In brief, the new pier meets federal and state agency guidance for new overwater structures (grated decking with supports placed a minimum of 18-inches above ordinary high water (OHW) and replaced an existing solid floating pier. As a result of the proposed action, overwater coverage decreased by 410 square feet. The boathouse project consists solely of replacement of the sides and roofofthe existing structure. All work will be above ordinary high water. No changes to the size, footprint, or function of the existing structure is proposed. As mitigation, greater than 60 percent of the new structure will be constructed of translucent panels (90% light transmissivity) that will admit light into the interior of the structure. The existing structure admits almost no light. General mitigation for these actions includes Lake Washington nearshore clean-up as described in the response to Comment #5. The safety barrier (not a log boom) is only proposed adjacent to the outdoor practice fields where the greatest public use of Lake Washington is expected. It is along this reach where damage to aquatic habitat could be significant. B. Please clarifY if the new pier under B070755 is an additional pier to the existing pier or a replacement pier to existing pier. The response to question B.d in the checklist implies that the existing pier will remain and a new pier will be constructed. It was our understanding that the existing pier would be replaced with the new pier based on the information presented in the Corps permit for the new pier. There is not a currently Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 5 proposed pier. The new pier has already been pennitted and constructed, and is currently operational. The new pier replaced the previously existing pier, and resulted in a decrease in over-water coverage. The prior pier has already been removed. 9. The response to item 8h should also note that Lake Washington is classified as a shoreline of statewide significance and is an "environmentally sensitive area ", not just the shoreline. We agree. The Lakes and Streams report prepared for this project correctly identified both Lake Washington and the riparian shoreline area as environmentally sensitive areas. This was inadvertently overlooked in the SEP A checklist. 10. Please clarifY in item 1 O.c for what impacts associated with this project are the proposed mitigation measures of clean-up of contaminated material, removal of creosote timber and concrete, and man-made flotsam providing mitigation. As part of this discussion, please indicate if these actions are within Lake Washington or not. If so, please explain how the removal of cresote timber, concrete and man-made flotsam will result in the need for this log boom to "establish a safety measure to prevent boats, or persons from entanglement with submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts along the private shoreline of Football Northwest LLC". The proposed safety barrier is an environmental protection measure designed primarily to protect the nearshore littoral zone and riparian plantings from disturbance caused by curious spectators. No specific mitigation is being provided for this project. However, clean-up of the nearshore area of Lake Washington was provided as a general mitigation measure for work being done by the Seahawks along the shoreline. Additional detail on the cleanup work is provided in response to Comment #5. While a significant amount of anthropogenic debris was removed from this area, natural large woody debris, additional anthropogenic material further offshore, and debris partially buried in potentially contaminated soil remains and presents a safety issue. Concerns with the proposed project: 11. This project is proposing to place 1,100 foot long log boom with concrete anchors. These features may interfere with the Tribe's ability to access its treaty protected fisheries resources and will need to be reviewed with tribal fishers for this potential impact. There may have additional concerns as a result. The applicant has indicated that they will work with the Tribe to ensure treaty fishing rights are protected. 12. The proposed log boom and concrete anchors also has the potential to adversely affect juvenile salmon ids and their habitats by creating predator ambush habitat. This is a result of these structures being located fairly shallow water (i.e. less than 20 feet) where juvenile salmonids will likely be found along with salmonid predators. This issue is not discussed or considered in the Streams and Lake Study. The project is not proposing a "log boom". The commercially constructed AnnorFloat Floating Barrier System™ was Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 specifically designed to provide a positive boat barrier and consists of 18-inch diameter by 9-feet long polyethylene floats, These light orange colored floats are highly visible to boaters and provide a relatively light background which helps to prevent their use as ambush habitat by salmonid predators, The narrow width of the floats, and lack of any proposed new solid vertical structure (e,g, pile) also helps avoid increasing salmonid ambush habitat 6 13. In addition, the log boom and anchors will likely interfere with the natural littoral processes that create and sustain salmonid habitat in Lake Washington by blocking wave action and sediment transport. This impacts is not discussed or considered in the Streams and Lake Study. "Natural" littoral processes along the Lake Washington shoreline may be somewhat affected by the floating barrier, but relative to the Corps-managed operation of the lake level, and potential extensive boat use ofthe littoral area should the barrier not be in place, this is likely an insignificant affect One of the major benefits of the safety barrier will be to reduce nearshore boat traffic and the extensive wave action that could lead to bank erosion, loss of overhanging riparian vegetation, and calls for removal of nearshore woody debris. The substrate along the shoreline consists predominately of very soft silts. While screw type anchors were originally specified for the job, site-specific review found insufficient holding power was available in the mud. Thus, concrete blocks were substituted. It is believed that these blocks will settle into the mud and may eventually completely settle. 14. Please explain how the log boom is necessary to avoid impacts from increased water traffic to the restored shoreline yet the same log boom may also be used for moorage, hence "the design of the safety barrier anchors and hardware took into consideration the possibility that small boats could occassionally tie up to the structure". The applicant had to balance the proposed location of the safety barrier with the public right of access issues and the presence of existing structure to which the safety barrier will in part be fastened. Because the littoral zone within 30-feet of the shoreline receives the highest juvenile salmonid use, this is the area where the applicant focused protection measures. It is the applicant's hope that the barrier will prevent the expected increase in water traffic from impacting the most sensitive areas of Lake Washington along this property. The safety barrier is not designed to be used for moorage. However, there is the possibility that some people will use it for that purpose. While this type of unauthorized use would be discouraged, there is no way to prevent its occurrence at all times. Thus, rather than risk damage to the safety barrier, parts most susceptible to damage were strengthened. 15. The applicant should have documentation from the state and federal permitting agencies that the log boom is needed to protect the contaminated clean-up areas and the shoreline riparian vegetation once this vegetation has reached maturity. We would appreciate a copy of this documentation issued by the relevant state and federal Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 7 permitting agencies, The primary purposes of the safety barrier do not include protection of contaminated areas and this was not claimed in any documents submitted by the applicant nor required by any agency. It was noted in documents prepared in support of the application that an incidental benefit ofthe safety barrier would be protection of shoreline riparian vegetation. 16. If this log boom is needed to protect the shoreline areas as discussed in comment 15, then it should have been proposed as part of the Seahawks facility and undergone environmental review in conjunction with the facility and its shoreline activties so that cumulative impacts could be addressed. To do otherwise, essentially creates an undeclared phased project and avoids assessing the cumulative impacts associated with the facility, the dock, the boathouse and the log boom which is inconsistent with the requirements of the State's SEPA Rules. The Seattle Seahawks office building and practice facility, and all other upland work, was permitted in 2006, after extensive public review and notice to all interested parties, including the tribes. That permitting effort included full SEPA review. At that time, there was no plan or proposal to build a new pier or refurbish the boathouse. Accordingly, those project were separately permitted, including applicable review under SEP A. At this time, all upland improvements and the new pier are existing conditions, and no review under SEP A of those completed projects is required. At the time the upland facilities were permitted, no one anticipated that boaters would disturb the nearshore area. That has, however, proven to be the case. Rather than ignore this condition, the Seahawks have proposed to take action to protect the nearshore habitat and shoreline by installing a safety barrier. 17. This project may set a precedentfor all other shoreline projects required to replant shoreline areas as mitigation for project impacts so that future waterfront activities don't threaten these mitigation areas. This project is a unique circumstance that is unlikely to occur again in the reasonably foreseeable future and will not provide a "precedent" for safety barriers: • The applicant is a popular professional sports franchise that by necessity must conduct part of their practice activities outdoors. • The location of the outdoor practice facility is immediately adjacent to a very popular power-boating area. • The timing of outdoor practice coincides with peak boating season. • Sensitive aquatic and riparian habitat is found between the power-boating area and the outdoor practice area. • Lake levels in this area are very shallow and susceptible to disturbance by power boat operation. • The applicant has voluntarily proposed to protect this sensitive aquatic and riparian habitat. Letter to Karen Walter Seahawks Safety Barrier October 3, 2008 There are no other professional sports franchise practice or training facilities located along the shoreline in western Washington of which we are aware. Accordingly, the suggestion that all future proposed waterfront activities may create such a similar high level of public interest that safety barriers will be required along all shorelines is not supported. It is hoped that your comments and concerns have been adequately addressed. Should you have additional questions, please contact me at gwasser@ci.renton.wa.us or (425) 430-7382. cc: File Chip Vincent, Planning Director Jennifer Henning, Planning Manager 8 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development ENVIRONMENTAL & DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW SHEET REVIEWING DEPARTMENT: F i rt:, COMMENTS DUE: SEPTEMBER 19, 2008 APPLICATION NO: LUA08-098, ECF, SMC, SM DATE CIRCULATED: SEPTEM~", ,I, I APPLICANT: Football Northwest LLC PLANNER: Jer-' Wasser I, ., 0 Lc; U,~" '\",! ~~~~!'J"Q'l~~--__ --+~~~IIY~~--l-'-~====~~~""t'-, , PROJECT TITLE: Seahawks Safety_Barrier PLAN REVIEWER: Arneta Henhinderl SEP - 5 2008 I' I.

Proposed Activity Biological Evaluation An approximately 1, I OO-foot long floating safety barrier will be placed in Lake Washington off- shore of the new Seahawks training facility. The primary purposes of the safety barrier are: 1) to protect environmental quality along the shoreline from excessive disturbance that could occur if boats and people were allowed free access to this area; and 2) a public safety measure to help prevent boats, waders, and swimmers from contacting submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts. Summer training camp, and to a lesser extent practice sessions during the football season will draw spectators. There are limited upland locations from where the outdoor practice facility can be observed so some people will come via Lake Washington in powerboats and other watercraft. This number could be substantial in the summer and early fall. Football NOIthwest has, and will continue to invest a great deal of effort in restoring the shoreline as part of the site environmental remediation and development mitigation process. Studies have shown that the nearshore area of Lake Wa shington in this area is utilized by a diverse aquatic biota. The safety barrier is proposed as a proactive measure to limit access into the shallowest parts of the nearshore area and the adjacent riparian buffer in anticipation of increased waterfront traffic. Unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area, significant di sturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly replanted vegetation could occur. There is also a significant quantity of submerged artifacts (logs, timber, barges, rebar, etc.) in this area, much of which poses a hazard to vessels and/or swimmers. The shoreline is also private property. While the Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the nortb as public property , and arc providing public access, the safety barrier will be one way to help discourage people from accessing the more se nsitive private area near the practice fields. The safety barrier is not designed to be used for moorage. However, there is the possibility that some people will occasionally use it for that purpose. While this type of unauthorized use would be discouraged , there is no way to prevent it's occurrence at all times. Therefore, to help avoid damage to the barrier, or damage that might be caused to the lake bottom if boat anchors were to drag, the design of the safety barrier anchors and hardware took into consideration the possibility that small boats could occasionally tie up to the structure. 2.

Description of Work Approxim ate ly 1,100 feet of floating safety barrier will be installed. The ArmorFloat Floatin g Barrier Sys tem™ was specifically designed to provide a positive boat barrier between the general publ ic and restricted area s . Design purposes includ e stopp in g errant recreational boaters and demarcating un safe or closed areas. The barrier will exte nd from the new dock at the north end of the site, southwe st approxim ately 930 -feet to an ex isting pile. Biological Evaluation From the pile the flo at will turn 90 -de g ree s to the so utheast barrier system and will travel about I ~O-feet to a new anchor on the s ho relin e (see Appendix C). A total of six, SOO-pound pre-cast concrete ancho rs w ill be placed in Lake Washington at a rate of one approximately every ISO-feet to hold the barrier in place. The barrier will float off-shore between 3D-feet a nd about I ~O-feet from th e sho relin e in water depths ranging from about 3 feet to about 9 feet (at ordi nary high water level). New attachment hardware will be fixed to the dock. A seco nd attachment point consisting of an anchor screwed into the so il will be se t on the s hore line just above OHW. The floating barrier w ill be stretched from th e doc k, aro und the pile, and to the shoreline and then fixed in place. The concrete anchors wi ll be low e red to the lake bed with a crane and set on the soft mud. It is expected that the anchors will rapidly settle into the mud and may end up below the surface over time. While ot h e r types of anchors (screws, clam shell s, etc .) were eva lu ated, the very so ft s ilt and sand s of indeterminate depth provide poor anchoring purchase for th ese types of systems which rely on firm substrate for re s istance.

A: Comprehensive Plan The purpo se and objectives of the propo se d safe ty barrier are compatib le with the General Purpo se, Objectives and Policies orthe City of Renton ... The continued protection or Renton 's natural system s , natural beauty, a nd environmental quality. • Policy EN-57 regulates se ns itive area s throu g h regulations addressing uses. The sa fet y meas ure to prevent boats, or persons li'o m entanglement with submerged piles, logs, and other artifacts along the private shoreline supports this policy. • Policy EN60 encourages prese rvation through regulation s which will provide for public health and safety. The safe ty mea sure to prevent boats, or pe rso ns from entanglement with s ubmer ge d piles , logs , and other arti facts a long the private shoreline supports thi s policy. The policy provides a management of the environmental area based on the severity of the area's safety hazard s. 7. B: Purpose and Need (Streams and Lakes Study Excerpts) An approximately I , I OO-foot lon g !loatin g s afety barrier will be placed in Lake Was hington off-shore of th e new Sea hawks training facility. The primary purposes of the safety barrier are: 1) to protect env ironm ental quality along the s horeline from excess ive di s turbance that could occur ifboats and peop le were allowed fr ee access to this area; and 2) a public safety meas ure to help prevent bo ats, waders, and swimmers from contacting s ubmerged piles , logs , and ot her artifacts.

There are limited upland locations from where the outdoor practice facility can be observed so so me people wi ll come via Lake Was hington in powerboats and other watercraft. This number could be subs tantial in the summer and early fa ll. Football Northwest has, and will continue to invest a great deal of effort in restoring the shoreline as part of the site environmental remediation and development mitigation process. Studies have shown that the near shore area of Lake Washington in this area is utilized by a diverse aquatic biota. The safety barrier is proposed as a proactive measure to limit access into the shallowest parts of the nearshore area and the adjacent riparian buffer in anticipation of increased waterfront traffic. Unless measures are taken to keep people away from the immediate shoreline area , significant disturbance to shallow aquatic habitat and newly replanted vegetation could occur. In addition, there is a significant quantity of submerged artifacts (logs , timber, barges, rebar , etc.) in this area, much of which poses a ha zard to vessels and/or swimmers. The shoreline is also private property. The Seahawks have dedicated a section of shoreline to the north as public property, and are providing public access. The safety barrier will discourage people from accessing the more dangerous and sensitive area near the practice fields where submerged piles , logs, and other artifacts are present. 7, C: Effect on Adjacent Properties The two primary purposes of the safety barrier, environmental protection and human safety, can not be achieved at any other location. No effect to adjacent properties is anticipated. The proposed safety barrier, situated south or the new pier structure, and lower than the pier, could not possible block the view from neighboring properties. It would not interfere with neighboring property water access, or neighboring enjoyment of the recreational uses of the lake. Alan D.

Installation of the proposed safety barrier will not affect any riparian plants, If a newly installed plant is in the way of the one land-based anchor, it will be removed and replanted nearby. The barrier will create an impediment to human intrusion into the riparian buffer and should help better prese rve this area. Thus, the safety barrier is not expected to have any adverse affect on food production in the lake and may have some benefit. Microclimate Microclimate is a bi g picture climate control is s ue extending for up to many hundreds of feet from the lake. The proposed safety barrier will have no effect on microclimate. Temperature and Shade The proposed safety barrier will be installed offshore and will have no effect on temperature and shade. Human Access Control Human access control to the Lake Washington shoreline is encouraged by the City of Renton. the Access to the shoreline on this site will be provided in the future at the north end of the Seahawks property . A fenced public walkway will control human access and prevent damage to the plants in this area. The safety barrier will help discourage people from accessing the more sensitive private riparian buffer area near the practice field s . Large Woodv Debris The proposed safety barrier will be installed offshore and will have no effect on large woody debris recruitment from trees growing on the shore line. Should a floating log lodge against the barrier, maintenance staff in a small boat can lift the barrier and allow the log to enter or leave the area. This is not expected to be a common occurrence. Channel Migration Channel migration zo ne s are not associated with large managed lakes. The proposal will have no efkct on channel migration. Bank Stabilitv The proposed sa fety barrier will help dampen wave energy in this area and will prevent boat access from approaching too near the shoreli ne and causing additional erosion. The barrier is also expected to discourage trespassers from climbing the dirt banks and further destabili z ing the shoreline. Fish Migration The safety barrier has been designed to meet WDFW and N MFS recommendations for minimizing impacts on migrating fi s h by stay ing at lea st 3D-feet off-shore. Adult sa lmon migrate further offshore and would not be affected by the barrier. However, juvenile sa lmon id s Jlllle 27. 2008 Seahall'ksl Rarner Lakes Slreams Study ()627fJ8 .doc GDAIIOCK CONSULtANTS, INC Page 10 .. FoO/boll N W, LLC -Safety Rarrier Renton, Washington Slreams and Lakes Study migrate along the shoreline and may be cautious of overhead structures and piles due to their use by potential predators, No new piles will be installed, The barrier will also help prevent human access to the sensitive nearshore area where juvenile fish are most likely to congregate, Not only will this help avoid the noi se and visual disturbance caused by sw immer, waders, and boats, but aquatic habitat and vegetation will be protected, Wildlife Habitat The proposed safety barrier will be installed offshore and will have no direct effect on wildlife habitat. The intent of the barrier is to discourage human access to a portion of the shoreline so indirect wildlife habitat protection as a result of riparian buffer protection and reduced noise and visual disturbance could occur. Wetland The project will not occur within any wetlands, 6,3 Summary Value for all habitat functions under the proposed action is expected to be equal to or slightly greater than under existing conditions. This is primarily due to the future protection for the riparian buffer the safety barrier will provide. 7.0 COORDlNATlON WITH OTHER AGENCIES The Army Corps of Engineers , Ecology , and WDFW will be contacted to apply for additional approval required for in-water work. The DNR will be contacted as necessary to arrange any aquatic lands permits . This Lakes and Streams Report is a requirement of the City of Renton under its Critical Areas Ordinance for the new safety barrier. Rcnton must issue a Shoreline Substantial Development permit, perform SEPA review, and issue any building permits that might be necessary . This Lakes and Streams Report is required to assess impacts and riparian functions and values for alteration s to the Lake Washington Shoreline , and includes functional impacts and mitigation for the shoreline alteration. 8.0 CONSTRUCTlON SCHEDULE Construction is expected to begin in Jul y/A ugust 2008, Inwater work will be complete within one to two weeks.
