Relative to public service provided
Types of services provided
The GPRF will provide a variety of rowing opportunities for youth and adults.
Described in greater detail below, members will have the opportunity to participate in:
Learn to Row classes, summer rowing camps, morning and afternoon coached practice
sessions, independent rowing sessions, and recreational and competitive rowing teams.
Members will also have the opportunity to participate in frtness and conditioning classes.
Learn to Row
Learn to Row classes are available to the public (no membership
requirement to participate). Participants of all ages will have the opportunity to
learn to row in a group setting. Learn to Row sessions will be i_nstructed by
highly qualified coaches to ensure a safe and fun learning environment for all.
Youth Rowing Programs
Following Learn to Row, youth may continue rowing in a number of
recreational classes focused on skill development, team building, fitness and fun.
Youth who are interested in a more time-intensive rowing experience may join
the competitive youth rowing team, otherwise known as "junior rowing." Junior
rowing wi.11 be built around highly qualified and enthusiastic coaches with a high·
coach to participant ratio. Our goals will be focused on learning· proper rowing
technique, building teamwork and having fun. With these goals, we will develop
cohesive boys' and girls' teams that compete both locally and nationally.
Scholarships and Other Support
Youth who face barriers to participation in rowing may apply to receive
support through the GPRF's nationally recognized youth assistance program,
Rainier Valley Rowing (RVR). Available assistance includes: financial
-scholarships for registration and regatta fees, swimming instruction, mentorship,
uniforms, training gear, and after-school snacks. No student will be turned away
JQr Ja.c!< qf fu.I1qs. Ai;ld.iti_qr:ia.lly, YOllttl_ who receive support through_9.1JL~ssisb!nce __
program are also eligible to participate in enrichment activities focused on
nutrition education, life skills, job skills, and college access. Once admitted into
RVR, youth will have access to scholarships and _other support until they
graduate from high school.
Adult Rowing Programs
After learning to row, adults can further pursue their development in
rowing by becoming a member of Renton Rowing Center. Membership provides
access to the equipment and ability to take part in the programming. Members
have the ability to access the equipment and fitness room on their own schedule
(excluding conflicts with youth programming).
The GPRF will offer multiple ways for adults to be involved in rowing.
Adult rowing is for all sizes, skills, and interests for everyone aged 19 and older.
Newer rowers will move on to our intermediates program focused on skill
development and small boat competency. Experienced rowers may participate
on the racing team or in other (to be developed) coached sessions.
Community Outreach
The GPRF will work with existing community organizations, businesses
and schools to ensure rowing programs are as accessible to the public as
possible. Community outreach will include free boathouse tours for youth, adults,
and families; low-cost after-school and summer camps; school field trips;
corporate team building; and fun indoor rowing challenges. !he GPRF will also
pilot an adaptive rowing program for youth and adults who have a variety of
physical and intellectual disabilities.
Value of service
Obesity Prevention
Access to high quality physical activity and sports is more important now
than ever before. According to the Center for Disease Control, adult physical
inactivity is more common among women than men and African American and
Hispanic adults than Caucasians. The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services has also shown that less affluent households are more likely to be
physically inactive-a major risk factor for obesity and a number of other poor
health outcomes-than more affluent households.1 Researchers from the
University of Washington looked at King County and found that the strongest
predictor of obesity for an individual is the median property value of one's zip
code2 . Obesity and other poor health outcome~ are also major risk factors for the
youth of King County with one in five students.estimated as being obese or
overweight'. Youth from low-income households and youth of color are ·
disproportionately affected by obesity4. Compared to the east side of the county,.
rates of unhealthy weight are 1.3 times higher in south King County .
. Despite these statistics, there is often a lack of access to quality physical
activity, especially for youth. At first glance, rowing may seem like an odd
mechanism for inspiring individuals, specifically youth, to meet their potential.
However, the city of Renton -because ofits proximity to vast Waterways -is ·
uniquely poised to connect citizens to this transformative sport. Rowing is
considered one of the best total body workouts. Rowing involves every major
muscle group in the body providing an excellent vehicle for improving
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and
body composition. The basic mechanics of rowing are relatively easy making this
efficient, low-impact sport appealing to people of all ages and abilities.

Social, Emotional, and Community Development
The social and emotional benefits of rowing are boundless: a) often called
"the ultimate team sport," rowing is ideal for instilling notions of persistence,
resilience, and self-efficacy; b) because of its historical ties to Universities,
rowing is steeped in a college-going culture and rich educational-networks: and
c) as one of the most physically demanding sport, rowing enhances lifelong
health and wellness.
This powerful sport and these myriad benefits are typically only available
to a small group of individuals. The underserved and at-risk youth who could
most benefit from rowing's power have historically faced significant barriers to
participation, including expensive program fees, lack of transportation, and lack
of comfort and familiarity with water sports. The GPRF's tried and tested,
collaborative approach will remove barriers to participation. Programs will be
inclusive and accessible for youth and help them develop the tools they need for
peak performance in school and life:
• Skills to support lifelong fitness and improved health; -
• Communication, teamwork, and leadership skills;
• Conne.ctions with caring adult mentors who are focused on students'
holistic success: ·
• Increased awareness of post-secondary educational opportunities, and
• Connection to their community · and urban environment through
appreciation of and access to natural resources. ·

Project name, size and location of site
Renton Rowing Center Float Replacement -th is project is replacement of existing floats at the
Cedar River Boathouse in the City of Renton. The total area (2465 sf) of the new floats will be
5sf less than the existing floats.
Brief description of proposed work
The project will replace 2 existing floats with wood decks, with new floats that meet current
standards for materials, floatation and decking.
The existing 2 floats are old, deteriorated and at the end of their lifespan. Float A (1170sf) is
tied to the north side of the pier but not in use. Float B (1300 sf) is on the south side of the pier
and is in use for boating activities.
Phase I will install newly fabricated floats C and D:
o Float A (1170 sf) will be removed from the water at a nearby boat ramp,
demolished and disposed of properly.
o Float C (975 sf) will be installed next to the boat house, to be used as the primary
float for boathouse activities.
o Float D (190 sf) will be installed as the connecting walkway to the repositioned
Float B. This is an interim measure to achieve more launching capacity until
Phase II can occur.
o Float B (1300 sf) will be retained and attached to the connector float D to
provide the launching capacity and water access needed for programs.
Phase II will install newly fabricated floats E and F:
o Float B (1300 sf) will be removed from the water at a nearby boat ramp,
demolished and disposed of properly.
o Float E (1180 sf) will be attached to the connecting walkway float D.
o Float F (120 sf) will be attached to float C to provide tie up for boats as needed.
Basis for the exemption request (reference exemption category from first page)
Normal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments.
Anticipated dates of work
The new floats will be towed to the location and attached during in-water work windows if
required (July 16 -31 or November 16 -December 312016). As there will be no in-water
actual work (floats are constructed off-site and delivered to pier) we are requesting more
schedule flexibility from the permitting agencies.
Other permits required for proposed project
Submitting JARPA to Washington Fish and Wildlife for Hydraulic Project Approval.
Current and proposed use of the site
The site is currently used as floats attached to a waterwalk/pier that serves a City of Renton
boathouse. No change is being proposed; floats will be attached to a pier that serves a City of
Renton Boathouse.
Special site features (I.e. wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes)
The floats float on Lake Washington and are attached to the pier.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
To: Cheryl Eastberg
Renton Rowing Center
From: Grette Associates, LLC
2102 N 30th St Ste A
Tacoma, WA 98403
Re: Renton Rowing Center Float Replacement -Lake Study
Date: June 3, 2016
File No.: 519.001
This Technical Memorandum (Memo) has been prepared to satisfy the provisions of Renton
Shoreline Master Program [Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 4-3-090.D.5.b.ii] to assess
the potential impacts of the Renton Rowing Center (RRC) float replacement project on existing
ecological functions. The Memo provides (I) a summary of the proposed project including
project sequencing; (2) existing habitat and utilization by aquatic species; (3) best management
practices (BMPs) that will be employed to minimize potential impacts on habitats and species;
(4) assessment of potential impacts from the project; and (5) determination of overall project
effects and confirmation that the project complies with the No Net Loss provision of RMC
Chapter 4-3-090.D.2.a.i.
1 Project Description
The RRC proposes to replace two deteriorated wooden floats at the existing Cedar River
Boathouse located immediately east of the mouth of Cedar River on the south end of Lake
Washington (1060 Nishiwaki Lane, Renton, King County, Washington). The purpose of the
project is to improve the safety and usability of the floats and to provide public water access for
non-motorized watercraft. The project will also bring the facility up to current design standards
through the use of grated float surfaces and fully-contained float tubs.
There are two existing floats at the Cedar River Boathouse: one on the north side of the existing
dock (Float A), and one of the south side of the existing dock (Float B). Both floats are
dilapidated and at the end of their useful lifespans. The floats are constructed of creosote-treated
timber framing and Styrofoam floatation billets. Float A is 65ft x 18ft (1,170 fi2) and is currently
inaccessible to public use; a guardrail on the north side of the dock prevents ingress/egress to
Float A. Float B is 65ft x 20ft (1,300 ft 2) and is accessible via a ramp from the boathouse. Float
B is currently used by the RRC to operate rowing programs and rent kayaks, stand-up
paddleboards, and canoes for youth and public recreation.
The proposed project involves the phased replacement of Floats A and B. Phase I will occur in
2016, and Phase II will occur in 2018. If required by Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), float replacement will occur
during the approved in-water work window. Phase I will include the removal of Float A,
installation of a new float (I, 165 ft 2) where Float B is currently attached adjacent to the
boathouse, and relocation of Float B immediately east of the new floats to provide the launching
capacity and water access required for programs. Phase II will remove Float B an install a new
float (1,180 fr) to the east end of the Phase I float.
The old floats will be carefully unattached from the dock and towed to a nearby boat ramp for
removal and disposal at an approved upland facility. New floats will be pre-fabricated offsite,
towed in with a boat or small work barge, and fastened to existing pile and/or dock structures
using hand tools. No pile driving or other construction activities are proposed for this project.
The replacement floats will incorporate a grated decking surface with ADA-compliant, 62%
open space grating. The float tubs will be fully-encapsulated polyethylene and will occupy
approximately 40% of the float footprint. The replacement floats will have a cumulative
footprint of 2,345 ft2 compared to the existing float footprint of 2,470 fr. When considering the
use of grated decking and light transmission through the floats (minus the area occupied by the
float tubs), the resulting shaded area will be 1,473 ft2. As such, the project will reduce the
shaded area of the floats by 997 fr.
2 Existing Habitats and Species
The vicinity of the proposed project is characterized by highly modified uplands including The
Boeing Company and Renton Municipal Airport. Upland habitat features are limited to sparse
shrubs and vegetation along the bank of the lake and Cedar River. All other upland areas
surrounding the project area are entirely developed with buildings and impervious surfaces. The
aquatic portion of the site is located on Lake Washington (Reach: L W-1) immediately east of and
adjacent to the mouth of the Cedar River (Reach: CR-A). Aquatic habitat in the vicinity of the
project area is characterized by shallow water with silty-sand substrates that are a result of the
discharge plume of the Cedar River (Figure 1).

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Salmonscape GIS Mapper and
Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) Mapper were queried to determine the presence of sensitive
species and habitats that may be present in the vicinity of the project area (WDFW 20 l 6a,b ).
The only sensitive species mapped near the project area are salmonids, which may use the
project area in transit to/from the Cedar River. The vicinity of the project area is likely to be
utilized by adult salmonids returning to their natal streams to spawn, as well as out-migrating
juvenile salmonids for rearing and foraging. A summary of salmonids that utilize the Cedar
River in the vicinity of the proposed project is provided in Table 1. No other sensitive habitats
or species are mapped in the vicinity of the project area. Several species of freshwater fish,
waterfowl, small mammals, and amphibians that are common to Lake Washington may be
present within the vicinity of the project area.

3 Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following BMPs will be utilized during both phases of the float replacement to minimize
potential impacts to habitats and species:
• Vessels used to transport floats will not ground out;
• No pile work, shoreline disturbance, or other in-water or overwater construction will
occur;
• Existing floats will be detached from and replacement floats will be attached to the dock
using hand tools;
• All debris and/or waste materials will be captured and not allowed to enter Lake
Washington;
• Grated decking (62% open space) will be installed to allow ambient light to penetrate the
floats;
• Float tubs will be comprised of fully-encapsulated polyethylene; and
• If required by WDFW and/or USA CE, removal and installation of the floats will occur
during the approved in-water work window for the protection of juvenile salmonids
(expected to be July 16 to July 31 and November 16 to December 31).
4 Potential Project Impacts
The proposed float replacement project is extremely unlikely to result in adverse impacts to
ecological functions or processes in the short or long-term. The project will support an existing
use and will not change the intensity of use; therefore, no cumulative impacts are associated with
the float replacement.
No construction activities are proposed. The existing floats will be disconnected from the dock
and towed whole to a boat ramp for removal and disposal at an approved upland facility.
Similarly, replacement floats will be pre-fabricated off site, towed to the site, and fastened to the
dock using hand tools. As such, the project is not anticipated to result in short or long term
impacts to fish and wildlife habitat, food chain support, turbidity or other water quality impacts.
Any potential minor, short term impacts will be further reduced through strict adherence to
project BMPs.
In the long term, the project may benefit aquatic species and habitats through the reduction in
float footprint from 2,470 ft2 (existing) to 2,345 ft2 (proposed). Furthermore, the use of grated
float surfaces will reduce the overall shaded area of the floats by 997 ft2. This may benefit
nearshore primary production and/or out-migrating juvenile salmonids that rely on shallow,
nearshore areas for foraging and rearing.
The project will have no effect on water temperature maintenance, water flow, erosion and
accretion, infiltration, groundwater recharge and discharge, sediment delivery/transport/storage,
large woody debris recruitment, organic matter input, nutrient and pathogen removal, or stream
channel formation/maintenance (RMC Chapter 4-3-090.D.2.a.i).

5 Conclusion
In summary, the proposed float replacement project is extremely unlikely to result in short term
impacts to ecological functions and may benefit them in the long term by reducing both the
footprint and shaded area of the floats. Overall, this project satisfies the Not Net Loss provision
of the Renton Shoreline Master Program (RMC Chapter 4-3-090.D.2.a.i).
