SUBJECT: ANNUAL RENTON RIVER DAYS RUBBER DUCK DERBY
To VVhom It May Concern,
VVe have reviewed the request for a Substantial Shorelines Permit for the Rubber Ducky
Derby, and have determined that this proposal is exempt from the requirement for this
type of permit. Therefore, the review of the permit application has been discontinued,
and no permitfee payment is required.
The proposal is exempt from a Substantial Shorelines Permit based on RMC 4-9-190.C.2
which states the following:
"(The following shall not be considered substantial developments for the purpose of
. this Master Program): 2. Any development of which the total cost or fair market
value does not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00), if such
development does not materially interfere with the normal public use of the water
or shorelines of the State." .
The development costs for this fund raising project are considered to be less than
$2,5000. Based upon a review of the shoreline permit determination for prior Rubber
Ducky Derby events, the event will not materially interfere with the normal public use of
the water or shorelines of the Cedar River, provided the following conditions are
continued to be incorporated into the proposal:
1. Installation of floating boom. ot the release point and the finish line, as well as a
floating boom along the natural/landscaped portion of the shoreline, to keep the
rubber ducks away from the brush areas. The floatirig booms shall be installed no
earlier than the day before the derby and removed the day of the derby. The
applicant shall review installation of the floating booms for approval by the Parks
and Recreation Division at least 30 days prior to the derby:
2. Use of a troined clean-up of at least two, and not more than four individuals who
shall walk the portion of the river channel affected after the race and remove any
rubber ducks that sink or become lodged in rocks or foliage along the river's edge.
The crew will also walk the upland portion of the river channel affected after the race

and remove any debris left by race abservers and participants, and replace any
damage bushes, shrubbery or trees. Follawing the derby, the site clean-up shall be
inspected and appraved by the Parks and Recreation Division.
3. Contacting the Department of Fish and Wildlife at least three weeks prior ta the
event to determine if there could be unusually earlier fish runs. If such fish runs did
occur, the event would be cancelled.
With these conditions incorporated into the project proposal, the Rubber Ducky Derby is
exempt from the Shorelines Master Programs permitting requirements. Since a
Substantial Shorelines Permit is not required for this event, the permit fee is also not
required.
