PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review to retrofit residential
neighborhood streets by installing porous concrete sidewalks, new stormwater pipes and structures, and water quality
treatment facilities. The public works project is located along SE 172nd St from 122nd Ave SE to 127th Ave SE (roughly
1,500 linear feet of roadway); along 122nd Ave SE, 123rd Ave SE, 124th Ave SE, and 125th Ave SE from SE 172nd St to SE
169th Pl for approximately half a block (600 linear feet of roadway each street). The project consists of installing new
conveyance system and green infrastructure to collect and treat stormwater runoff from approximately 2 acres of
pollution-generating hard surface. It is estimated that approximately 6,020 cubic yards (CY) of excavation and
approximately 5,765 CY of fill would be required to complete the project. This project would help restore water quality
within the City of Renton and downstream to Soos Creek, the Green River, and Puget Sound. The project area is currently
used for residential street traffic in the Benson Community Planning Area, east of Cascade Village. No critical areas are
mapped on the project site. Project construction is estimated to begin on November 1, 2024 and end on October 31,
2025.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on April 8, 2024. Appeals
must be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov or delivered to City Hall 1st floor Lobby

future date if your appeal is submitted electronically. The appeal submitted in person may be paid on the first floor in
