B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one); flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. The site is located on the shore of Lake Washington and is generally flat. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope?) Site slopes are generally 0-5% with localized slopes up to 2HAV at debris piles and up to 1 HAV at the bank of the lake. C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. Site soils consist of highly heterogeneous shallow alluvial and lacustrine silts, sands and peat underlain by a coarser sand -gravel alluvium. The shallow alluvial deposits are overlain by years of fill deposits. Refer to the geotechnical study submitted with this Environmental Checklist for additional detail. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. Surface and near surface conditions are especially variable across the site. Soils from the surface to a depth of 25 feet contain Fill and Shallow Alluvium soils which are relatively weak with variable compressibility, permeability and contain a low bearing capacity. Refer to the geotechnical study submitted with this Environmental Checklist for additional detail. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Filling and grading will proceed pursuant to the Consent Decrees and Cleanup Action Plan as subject to review and approval by the EPA. Filling will also be required to achieve proposed site grades. It is assumed that fill will be imported. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. C:\NrPortbl\CREA\MATHS\6558—I.DOC -4- 02/08 Quendall Terminals The relatively flat grade of the site will minimize the potential for erosion as a result of site construction. The near -surface soils are considered to have moderate to high moisture sensitivity if disturbed by construction activity. Soils with high moisture sensitivity tend to degrade easily upon exposure to weather. While these soils have the potential for erosion during wet weather conditions, mitigation will be accomplished with the use of appropriate best management practices (BMPs). About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 75% of the site is considered impervious surface which includes buildings, roads and sidewalks. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Approved best management practices (BMPs) shall be specified and used during construction to minimize soil erosion and environmental impacts as a result of development activity. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Construction activities may generate dust. Construction equipment and hauling vehicles will create emissions from internal combustion engines. b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. There are no known off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect this proposal. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Dust suppression techniques, including water sprinkling, will be used during construction as necessary. Stockpiles will be covered to the extent practicable to minimize construction -related dust. Emissions impacts during construction will be minimized through efficient use of equipment and minimizing equipment idling. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. The project site includes approximately 1,583 feet of shoreline along Lake Washington. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. The following work is anticipated within 200 feet of the Lake Washington shoreline: C:\NrPortbl\CREAWIATHS\6558 l.DOC - 5 - 02/08 Quendall Terminals Activities related to shoreline restoration, contaminant remediation and mitigation, including capping of the site. Construction of mixed-use buildings, roads, retaining walls, hardscape/landscape areas. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Earthwork impacts to surface waters and wetlands will be determined through the EPA directed site remediation effort that precedes development. No additional filling is proposed by the Master Plan. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. The proposal will not require surface water withdrawals or diversions. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. The proposal does not lie within a 100 -year flood plain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. The proposal does not involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters. b. Ground Water: 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. The project does not propose groundwater withdrawal or discharge. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example; Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. No waste materials as identified above are anticipated. C. Water Runoff (including storm water): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters, If so, describe. Stormwater runoff will be collected from impervious surfaces and will be conveyed to Lake Washington through a piped storm drainage system. Pollution -generating impervious surfaces will be treated prior to discharge to Lake Washington in accordance with City of Renton and Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) stormwater regulations. Best management practices will be used in accordance with WSDOE. CAN rPortbl\CREA\MATHS\6558_1.DOC -6- 02/08 Quendall Terminals 2) Could waste material enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Waste material is not anticipated to enter ground or surface waters. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: Runoff from pollution -generating impervious surfaces will be treated prior to discharge to Lake Washington. Best management practices will be used to prevent erosion and sedimentation during construction and at project completion. Stormwater conveyance and treatment systems will be designed in accordance with City of Renton and WSDOE requirements. 4. PLANTS a.

What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Site vegetation planting and removal will be determined per the future EPA approved site remediation, mitigation and shoreline restoration plan. C. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. No threatened or endangered species were observed or are known to occur on or near the project site. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: As part of the development project, native and regional climate zoned ornamental plants will be installed as landscaping throughout the development. The intent is to create a landscape that is functional, aesthetically pleasing, diverse, and water efficient. Plant material will be selected for hardiness, size, texture and color. The development will be adjacent to a riparian buffer along Lake Washington that averages 100 -feet in width. The buffer will be enhanced with native vegetation as a result of remediation -related impacts to existing wetlands through the EPA. Revegetation will focus on species diversity, species density allowing for varied light penetration, and the creation of different successive stages along the lake. Willow and water -tolerant shrub vegetation along the shoreline and in existing and restored wetland habitat would provide shade for aquatic species. Deciduous -dominated forests would include open areas where sunlight can penetrate to the forest floor. Coniferous -dominated forests would provide important habitat for upland species. The proposed development will not impact CAN rPortbl\CRFAWIATHS\6658_t. DOC -7- 02/08 Quendall Terminals any of the areas of enhanced vegetation within the 100 -foot average width riparian buffer along Lake Washington. Please refer to the Wetland Assessment, Standard Lake Study, Habitat Data Report and Conceptual Restoration Plan prepared by Anchor QEA. 5. ANIMALS a.

List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. Puget Sound Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), steelhead (O. mykiss), and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) use Lake Washington as part of their migration corridor. C. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain Yes, it lies within the Pacific flyway. Also, anadromous salmonids, steelhead, and bull trout migrate through Lake Washington. d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: Measures to improve and restore wildlife habitat will be conducted as part of remediation activities prior to development of the property. The riparian buffer and the creation/restoration of existing wetland habitat will provide detritus inputs, insect drop, and woody debris inputs for aquatic species to support prey resources and provide cover for juvenile salmon. In addition, woody debris and substrate enhancement of the shoreline would support these aquatic ecological functions in the short term. 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. Electricity is anticipated to be used for heating, cooling, lighting, and other energy demands.

No, site is vacant, with exception of the sewer pump station which is to remain. e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? The site is zoned (COR) Commercial/Office/Residential per the City of Renton. f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? The site currently has the designation COR -Commercial -Office -Residential. g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? The current shoreline master program designation of the site is "urban." h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. C:\NrPortbl\CREA\MATHS\6558_1.DOC _10- 02108 Quendall Terminals Areas on the site are currently identified as Critical Areas by the City of Renton, based on the proximity to Lake Washington and the presence of wetlands. However, existing wetlands will be impacted as part of remediation activities that will be conducted as part of a separate project prior to development. The riparian buffer and wetlands along the Lake Washington shoreline will be enhanced and restored as part of remediation -related activities. Following remediation activities, no environmentally sensitive or Critical Areas will be present within the development area, but the riparian buffer along Lake Washington would qualify as an environmentally sensitive area that contains wetlands and shoreline buffers. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? The office space will most likely accommodate up to about 1,000 workers. The retail and restaurants would have 40 to 50 employees, and the apartments are estimated to have 1,200 to 1,300 residents. This would be with 100% occupancy which is rarely achieved, so the totals may be up to 10% less than noted with normal vacancy rates. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? The completed project will not displace people since the site is currently vacant. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: Not applicable—see response to line j, above. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: Landscape buffers and potential fencing will be used to provide a visual separation and buffer between the project and adjacent sites. 9. HOUSING a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. Approximately 800 middle- to high-income units will be provided. b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. No units will be eliminated, as the site is currently vacant. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: Not applicable—see response to line c, above. 10. AESTHETICS a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed. C:%NrPortbl\CREA\MATHS\6558 1.DOC - 11 - 02/08 Quendall Terminals We expect the tallest building to be 5 stories over 2 floors of parking. Assuming there is some roof modulation, we would estimate the tallest building would be approximately 85 to 90 ft from grade to top of roof or parapet. The parking structures will be concrete with some structure exposed, some painted and with some walls or structure clad with brick or other masonry. The office building will be concrete and glass in the upper floors and concrete, brick or other masonry around the base and retail shops. The residential portions will have a combination of brick or other masonry, stucco, architectural factory finished metal panels with aluminum framed windows and metal railings at outdoor decks and balconies. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? The site is currently vacant so construction of the proposed development will create potential partial obstructions from certain vantage points around the site such as surface streets and 1-405 to the east, adjacent residential development to the south and the Seahawks facility to the north. The design of the project will maintain view corridors between the proposed buildings. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: The proposed buildings will not be taller than allowed per the zoning requirements, this will minimize potential for any view obstructions. The buildings will have a variety of materials and textures and modulation of wall surfaces or other grills, screens or trellises that will add visual interest. Roof lines will be varied for modulation and interest as well. Plaza or courtyard areas over the residential garages will feature landscape planters and pavers for color, texture and pattern. There may be small water features incorporated in the final landscaped courtyard designs. The shoreline zone will be landscaped during the site remediation process. Other streetscape landscaping, sidewalks, perimeter landscaping and street trees will be designed to enhance the building designs, provide a pleasant sidewalk experience and buffer between the Quendall development and the adjacent properties. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Sources of light and glare will include interior lights shining through windows, street lights along roads, outdoor pedestrian lights along sidewalks/hardscape areas, and lighted signage at retail/restaurant areas. Light and glare from these sources will occur from sundown until sunrise and are not expected to be significant. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? Light or glare from the completed project is not expected to be a safety hazard or interfere with views. CANrPortbKCREA\MATHS\6558 1.DOC -12- 02/08 Quendall Terminals C. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? There are no known existing off-site sources of light or glare that may affect the proposal. The Seahawks Training Facility located to the north of the project site does not have permanent field lighting. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: Not applicable. 12. RECREATION a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? Lake Washington borders the west side of the project site and provides informal recreational opportunities such as boating, swimming, fishing, and other lake -related recreational activities. Other potential recreation opportunities have not been identified at this time and will be addressed with the future EPA site remediation / mitigation action plan. b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. The proposed project will not displace any existing recreational uses. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: Not applicable—see response to line b, above. 13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe. There are no known places or objects on or next to the site that are listed on or proposed for national, state, or local preservation registers. b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site. A Cultural Resource Assessment (Larson, 1997) was performed for the project site in 1997. This assessment did not identity any cultural resources eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The report concludes that the historic mouth of May Creek was likely located at the Port Quendall Log Yard and that a Duwamish site may have been located there. All portions of the Port Quendall Log Yard are identified as an area that may contain archeological deposits. Please refer to the Cultural Resource Assessment prepared by Larson Anthropological Archaeological Services (March, 1997). C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any: Monitoring for archeological materials will be included if/where native site soils are disturbed. However, previous geotechnical explorations have indicated that the project C:\NrPortbl\CREA\MATHS\6558 1.DOC -13- 02108 Quendall Terminals site is overlain with fill, and the project's grading approach includes minimal disturbance to existing site soils due to the presence of hazardous substances. A fill cap will be added to the site as part of remediation/mitigation efforts, and buildings will use piling foundation systems. 14. TRANSPORTATION a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. The site is principally served by the following three roads: Interstate 405 — Located approximately 500 feet east of the site. Lake Washington Blvd — Located at the southeast corner of the site. Ripley Lane — Located at the eastern edge of the site. Interstate 405 provides regional access to the project site via the Lake Washington Blvd / 40 Street interchange. Lake Washington Blvd provides access at the southeast corner of the site where it runs east to Interstate 405 or south to the City of Renton. At the southeast corner of the site, Ripley Lane runs north from Lake Washington Blvd and serves the east side of the site. Greater detail on all transportation and parking issues can be found in the Transportation Impact Analysis prepared by The Transpo Group. b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? The site is not currently served by public transit. The nearest transit stop is located approximately 0.9 miles east-northeast at 116`" Ave SE and SE 76`" St (Metro Route 219). C. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project eliminate? The completed project would have parking for approximately 2,171 cars in structures and on grade. The project would not eliminate any parking. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or private? Yes. In addition to the improvements to the 1-405/NE 44th Street interchange identified as part of the planned WSDOT 1-405 Renton to Bellevue improvement project, several additional improvements are needed to mitigate project impacts. These include: • A southbound left -turn lane, a dedicated westbound right -turn lane, and an eastbound left -turn lane would be needed at the Ripley Lane/Lake Washington Blvd intersection • A northbound left -turn lane at the Main Project Access/Barbee Mills/Conner Homes Access intersection with Lake Washington Blvd, and • A westbound left -turn lane would be needed at the Hawks Landing Access/Lake Washington Blvd intersection. Note: Improvements listed are based on full build -out, initial phased development will not require all improvements. C:\NrPortbl\CREAUATHS\6568-1.DOC -14- 02/08 Quendall Terminals e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe. The project will not use water, rail, or air transportation. The project site is in the immediate vicinity of water transportation (Lake Washington borders the site to the west) and an existing BNSF railroad track which borders the site to the east and is no longer used for rail transport. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. The proposed project is anticipated to generate approximately 8,570 net new off-site daily trips, with approximately 837 occurring during the AM peak hour (446 inbound trips and 391 outbound trips), and 905 occurring during the PM peak hour trips (410 inbound trips and 495 outbound trips). g.
