UPPER SPRINGBROOK CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT ZUA10-030, ECF, CAR
Report of June 21, 2010 Page 2 of 4
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The applicants, the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the City of Renton, are proposing to reconfigure 900
linear feet of Upper Springbrook Creek, from a straight channel into a more natural meandering channel through a
wetland which borders SR 167. In addition, the applicants are proposing to replace a culvert under S 55th St in order
to enhance fish passage. This restoration project is being conducted as part of the Green/Duwamish River Basin
Ecosystem Restoration Project (ERP). In accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Corps
prepared a Final Environmental Assesment (EA) which resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) being
adopted on May 14, 2010 (Exhibit 4). The EA has been adopted in place of the Environmental 'SEW Checklist.
The project would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human or
natural environment. Best management practices would be employed in order to minimize potential adverse effects
to aquatic and terrestrial resources. Impacts to air quality, noise, and water quality will generally be highly localized
and short in duration, and wetland impacts would be mitigated to a alevel of insignificance by providing enhanced
aquatic functions and values in the project area as a result of the creek relocation.
The area of work is approximately 90,000 square feet and is located within the R-14 zoning designation. Upper
Springbrook Creek curently flows through a roadside ditch overgrown with invasive weeds that parallels the north
side of S 55`h St for approximately 900 feet before it flows underneath SR 167. Coho salmon utlilize this stream for
spawning, rearing, foraging and as refuge habitat. However, during high flow events there is little refugia, causing
the potential of juvenile fish to be flushed further downstream. This lack of channel complexity reduces the streams
ability to provide suitable habitat for fish and wildlife.
The project is expected to increase available spawning habitat for adult fish, and will enhance rearing, foraging, and
refuge habitat for juvenile salmonid and resident fish in Upper Springbrook Creek by creating off -channel habitat
areas, removing the stream from a source of potential water quality contamination, provision of a riparian buffer,
and by allowing access to higher qualiity habitat located upstream.
The soils within the project limits are composed of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam with a 6-15 percent slope in the
vicinity of the existing channel. The site is entirely composed of forested wetland and slopes down from the
southeast at grades ranging from 2% - 12%. The primary drainage is an exisitng roadside ditch that enters the site
via a 30" culvert across S 55th St at the southeast corner of the site. The ditch parallels S 551h St for approximately
900 feet before entering a culvert at the west end of the site where the ditch crosses SR 167. Any rainfall that falls
on the site and does not infiltrate would sheet flow toward the northwest before exiting the site.
The proposed project includes the removal of 10 alder trees of 8 -inch diameter or greater. All trees that are
proposed for removal would be used onsite as habitat features for the project. The project would require the
excavation of 1,336 cubic yards of soil and placement of 590 cubic yards of soil for construction of the new channel
and culvert. Additionally, 73 cubic yards of logs would be placed in the channel and wetland as habitat features.
Replacement of the culvert will involve adding 122 cubic yards of concrete, crushed surfacing top course, base
course and asphalt. The excavation of the channel and staging areas will impact 11,761 square feet (0.27 acre) of
wetland.
The proposed project will conserve and enhance fish habitat and is therefore exempt from the City's Critical Area
Ordinance (Exhibit 5).
Staff received comments from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division regarding adequate clearance for
passing wood, culvert width, log berm width, channel construction and wood placement, as well as monitoring
reports (Exhibit 6).

D. Environmental Impacts
Based on the Environmental Assessment (EA), dated May 2010, the project is not expected to result in
significant adverse impacts. The Upper Springbrook Creek Restoration project is not considered a major Federal
action having significant impact on the human or natural environment. While there may be temporary impacts
associated with the construction, the Environmental Assessment notes a net gain in aquatic habitat function and
value. Avoidance measures and reduction of impacts will take the form of on-site biological and archaeological
monitoring, the implementation of best management practices during construction, and scheduling to avoid
potential impacts to fish and wildlife species. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
was not required and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued May 14, 2010 (Exhibit 4). The Final
Environmental Assessment (May 2010) can be found online under project name "Upper Springbrook Creek" at:
http://www.nws.usace.army.mil/ers/doc table.cfm.
The comments received by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division were provided to the Corps during
the NEPA process and were considered when issuing the FONSI. The City has found there is no additional
mitigation necessary for the proposal. Per request a condition of approval, associated with the Critical Area
Exemption, has been employed requiring the applicant to provide copies of all monitoring reports, produced by
the Corps, to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division.
E. Comments of Reviewing Departments
The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their
comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or "Advisory Notes to Applicant."
✓ Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in
writing on or before 5:00 PM, July 9, 2410.

404 (b) (1) DETERMINATION
MAY 18 1010
UPPER SPRINGBROOK CREEK
CHANNEL REALIGNMENT AND REHABILITATION (5) 1� Vi���
1. Background.
a. Purpose.
The current habitat quality of this section of Upper Springbrook Creek is highly degraded.
In this reach, the creek is Iocated less than 10 feet from the roadside, and the only vegetative
cover consists of dense stands of Japanese knotweed and Himalayan blackberry. Coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) utilize this stream for spawning, rearing, foraging, and as
refuge habitat. However, during high flow events, the straight, wood devoid channel
provides little refugia, allowing for the potential of juvenile fish to be flushed further
downstream. This lack of channel complexity reduces the stream's ability to provide
suitable habitat for fish and wildlife.
b. Authority.
Section 306 of the WRDA of 1990 authorized the Secretary of the Army to include
environmental protection as one of the primary missions of the Corps. Authorization for the
Green/Duwamish River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Project, General Investigation (Gl)
study was authorized under Section 209 of Public Law 87-874, Puget Sound and Adjacent
Waters. Congress specifically authorized the Green/Duwamish River Basin Ecosystem
Restoration Project (ERP) in Section 101(b)(26) of WRDA 2000. This project is a
separable element of the Green/Duwamish ERP. The Green/Duwamish ERP gained
construction New Start capability in the Water and Energy Act of 2003.
2. Proposed Action.
The Corps is proposing to relocate and meander approximately 900 feet of Upper
Springbrook Creek through a 100 foot easement located in a forested corridor to the north.
The new channel alignment will require the excavation of 1077 cubic yards of material.
Large woody debris and 525 cubic yards of spawning gravel will be placed in the new
channel to enhance in -stream habitat quality. In addition, the existing 30 -inch diameter
corrugated steel culvert that runs underneath South 55th Street at the east end of the project
would be replaced with a 46 foot long, 10 foot wide, 4 foot high box culvert that meets the
requirement of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Design of Road
Culverts for Fish Passage.
3. Summary of Impacts and Compliance. Unavoidable adverse effects associated with
this project are expected to include minor temporary increases in turbidity in the creek,
temporary noise and increased traffic effects, a temporary reduction in aesthetic value
during construction, and the excavation of 0.19 acres of forested wetlands. However, the
EXHIBIT 4
project will result in a net gain in aquatic habitat function and value due to the following: 1)
Moving the strcam away from the road and its associated run-off will decrease the amount
of pollutants entering the stream and the overall "flashiness" of flow, 2) Creating meanders
and placing large woody debris will promote pool -riffle structure and in -stream
microhabitat for aquatic life as well as slow down water during higher flows, 3) Placing
gravel creates habitat suitable for benthic invertebrate colonization and salmonid spawning,
4) Providing fish passage allows salmonids to access higher value upstream habitat, 6)
Removing invasive vegetation from the project site, and planting native vegetation along
the stream, in areas of disturbance, and in the decommissioned channel enhances riparian
and wetland functions.
The Corps finds this projects is "not likely to adversely affect" federally listed species or
critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act. Concurrence was received from National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on 10 April 2001 and United Stated Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) on 27 March 2001. This project complies with Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. The Corps has prepared a 404(b)(1) Analysis, included as an attachment to the
draft EA (Appendix E). On 28 April 2010 the project received a 401 water quality
certification and a Coastal Zone Consistency Determination from the Washington
Department of Ecology (WDOE). On 3 May 2010 the project received concurrence with a
finding of "No historic properties affected" from the State Historic Preservation Officer
(SHPO), contingent on monitoring of project construction by aprofessional archaeologist.
Impacts to water quality, aesthetics, traffic flow, and noise will generally be highly
localized and short in duration.
Avoidance measures and reduction of impacts will take the form of on-site biological and
archeological monitoring, the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) during
construction, and scheduling to avoid potential impacts to fish and wildlife species.
4. Finding.
Based on the attached environmental documentation, coordination, and analysis conducted
by the Corps environmental staff, I have determined that this project, given the long term
net gain in habitat value and function, will not result in significant adverse environmental
impacts. The proposed action is not a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment, and therefore does not require preparation of an
environmental impact statement.

Proposed Determination of Non -significance and Adoption of EA and FONSI
Attachments: Corps Response to Muckleshoot.doc Upper Springbrook Creek EA
Rocale,
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has reviewed the Notice of Application materials and proposed DNS for
the above referenced project. We have been working with the US Army Corps of Engineers on this project and provided
the comments Environmental Assessment (proposed to be adopted as part of the City's environmental review) directly to
the Corps. The Corps responded to these comments in the attached document. We appreciate the City and the Corps'
efforts to restore salmon habitat at the project site. However, we have some outstanding concerns that we request be
addressed through the City's environmental review and permitting processes as follows:
We remain concerned that the proposed culvert will not have adequate clearance to pass wood sufficiently to
downstream areas. In response to this comment, the Corps noted that "the City of Renton will maintain the
culvert, and relocate any wood that does not pass through the culvert downstream in the restoration site". The
City's permits for this project should be conditioned with this requirement, so that if the culvert cannot pass wood,
then future culvert maintenance actions will not result in a loss of wood that would otherwise recruit to the stream
if the culvert were sufficiently sized or did not exist.
2. We still have a technical disagreement regarding what the appropriate bankfull width measurement should be
used to design the stream simulation culvert at this site. We maintain our recommendation that the new culvert
should be 11 feet in width to ensure the passage of juvenile salmon up to at least the 10 -year flood event.
3. We still have a technical disagreement regarding the materials used to roughen the stream channel in the culvert.
We maintain our recommendation that wood be used instead of the proposed rock within the culvert to control
sediment and maximize fish passage through the culvert.
4. We recommended that the log berm design be modified to allow for wood storage and to logs with rootwads at an
angle be used to help trap sediment and mobile wood. This is an outstanding concern that was not addressed in
the Corps' responses.
5. We recommended that the new channel be designed using undulating banks, an array of depths and widths that
more closely replicates a natural channel than the proposed trapezoid design. The Corps' response is to go with
the trapezoid design and expect that wood and sediment grain size will create bars and pools during higher flows
leading to diversity. Time will tell if this outcome will be achieved or not. We maintain our original
recommendation and suggest that a qualified fisheries biologist with habitat restoration experience be required to
be on site to help guide channel construction and wood placement. It is not apparent in the Corps' response that
this will occur.
6. We recommended that the wood be placed in clusters instead of the evenly spaced design shown in the
drawings. The Corps' response indicates that there are wood clusters on outside stream bends. These clusters
were not shown on any drawings that we reviewed. If there is a drawing that shows this approach, we would like
a copy to review. It is likely that this concern is outstanding.
7. We recommend that adult and juvenile fish use monitoring occur, preferably using the least risk method such as
visual observations and fyke nets.
8. We also request copies of all monitoring reports for this project and ask that the City condition the project
accordingly.
EXHIBIT 6
We appreciate the opportunity to revi his project via the City's environmental r w process and look forward to the
City's response to these comments. We would be happy to meet to discuss these comments and concerns, if needed.
Please call me if you would like to meet.

Subject: RE: Draft Upper Springbrook Creek EA
Chemine,
Thank you for your email and follow-up responses. Martin and I had a chance to review the EA and project drawings. On
behalf of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division (MITFD), we offer the following comments in the interest of
protecting and restoring the Tribe's treaty protected resources_
In general, we appreciate the Corps and City of Renton's efforts to improve the existing culvert under S 55ffi Street to
improve passage for adult and juvenile salmon and instream and riparian habitat on Upper Springbrook Creek. The
proposed project is certainly an improvement over the existing conditions. We appreciate the efforts that the Corps and
the City has taken to address the concerns we identified in our January 6 2010 email and comments expressed during the
January 14 2010 field visit.
Culvert design
Previously, MITFD identified potential concerns with the proposed culverts inability to provide adequate clearance
for wood and sediment passage. We recommended elevating the existing sewer line within the road prism to
enable greater clearance for the stream within the culvert in our 1/6/2010 email. It appears that this issue may not
have been fully considered and the culvert may still have some problems provide adequate clearance for wood
passage. If so, we recommend (as we did on 1/14/2010) that the culvert be maintained such that any wood that
is unable to pass through the culvert on its own accord, be relocated to the downstream channel and floodplain.
In our 1/6/2010 email, we also expressed concerns that the proposed culvert design may not be adequate to
provide juvenile fish passage, particularly at higher discharges. To address this concern, we recommended that
culvert be designed to pass juvenile salmonids up to at least the 10 -year flood and should be achieved by
ensuring continuous shallow margin habitat that offers slower water velocities at a range of flows within the
culvert. Per your email on 5/5/2010 at 214 pm, the culvert has been designed to be a 10 foot wide culvert using
WDFW's Stream Simulation Design for the culvert. We estimate that the natural geomorphic bankfull width using
WDFW's regression method (Bob Barnard, unpublished data) is 7.4 feet, which results in a culvert width of 11
feet. The proposed culvert is slightly less than this width. We hope that the new culvert will be able to successful
pass juvenile salmon.
We also suggested that wood be used to create roughness in the culvert instead of rock. WDFW disagreed
according to the meeting notes. We maintain our previous recommendation that wood should be placed
perpendicular to the flow in the culvert to control sediment and maximize fish passage.
2. Log Berm
Previously, we provided two recommendations regarding the log berm. First, we recommended that the existing
sand bag berm on the north side of the new channel be removed. The project proposes to remove this sand bag
berm per Sheet C4 and replace it with a log berm structure to keep flows from migrating to the north. As far as
the proposed log berm is concerned, we recommended that the structure should be modified so that it functions
primarily for wood storagelre ment to the creek upon lateral migration. a suggested that logs with rootwads
at an angle be used to help trap sediment and mobile wood. are concerned that this feature may limit the ability
for lateral channel migration that creates and maintains fish habitat. Sheet C-2 indicates that some of the wood
for this berm will be include logs with rootwads at an angle to implement this recommendation.
Channel Design and Wood
Previously, we recommended that the new channel be designed with 3:1 slopes. The EA and Sheet C-9.3
indicate that the slopes will be constructed at 3:1 slopes. The cross-sections suggest a uniform trapezoidal
channel design. Instead, we recommend that the channel design be more diverse using undulating banks, array
of depths and widths, etc. where possible that more closely replicates natural channel configurations rather than a
uniform trapezoidal channel.
We also recommended that the quantity of the proposed wood resemble wood loading conditions found in more
natural streams and for the Corps to use Fox and Bolton (2007) recommendation's of loading to the 75th
percentile of natural conditions. We also recommend organizing wood based on natural conditions described in
Fox (2003). We provided these documents in our previous emails. Sheet C-2 shows 56 pieces of wood in the
project area that will be within the Ordinary High Water Mark. It appears that the project has been modified and
added wood per our recommendations.
However, we have some concerns with the proposed wood design. The wood placement in the design shows a
uniform, somewhat evenly spaced wood design that lacks diversity. We recommend that the wood be located
into clusters as well as individual pieces at an array of configurations provides a broader range of habitat niches
and geomorphic responses than does the evenly spaced and uniform positions of the wood depicted in the
drawings_
4. Monitoring
The project should conduct pre -project fish use monitoring to determine the existing conditions. The timing of the
project may not allow this work; therefore, the project should at least assemble all of the known existing fish use
information and make some determination of the pre-existing project fish use conditions. The post project fish
monitoring as proposed is good and is essential to be done to determine both juveniles and adult salmon use.
The Corps may want to consider using fyke nets or other less lethal methods to monitor for juvenile use as the
WRIA 9 fish distribution maps indicate that steelhead salmon are found in Springbrook Creek. (see
htti):llvour.kingcounty.gov/dnrpllibrary/2000/kcr728/vol2/partV/FlSHDIS_ T/SteeIhead/SteeIhddistroLOWER.r)df for
more information).
Also, the MITFD would like to receive copies of all monitoring reports complete for this project.
5. Project Coordination
Again, we appreciate the opportunity to work with the Corps on this project prior to the issuance of this EA_
Please note that it would have been useful to receive communication from the Corps earlier about the proposed
project changes that addressed our previously identified concerns prior to the issuance of the EA and the 95%
design. We hope that for future projects this information would be provided to the MITFD early to better facilitate
coordination and work cooperatively to create a project that meets our objectives to restore and protect salmon
habitat.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT City Of
and Renton
404 (b) (1) DETERMINATION P/ Of
Divi io,
UPPER SPRINGBROOK CREEK MAY 18 1018
CHANNEL REALIGNMENT AND REHABILITATION
1. Background.
a. Purpose.
The current habitat quality of this section of Upper Springbrook Creek is highly degraded.
In this reach, the creek is located less than 10 feet from the roadside, and the only vegetative
cover consists of dense stands of Japanese knotweed and Himalayan blackberry. Coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) utilize this stream for spawning, rearing, foraging, and as
refuge habitat. However, during high flow events, the straight, wood devoid channel
provides little refugia, allowing for the potential of juvenile fish to be flushed further
downstream. This lack of channel complexity reduces the stream's ability to provide
suitable habitat for fish and wildlife.
b. Authority.
Section 306 of the WRDA of 1990 authorized the Secretary of the Army to include
environmental protection as one of the primary missions of the Corps. Authorization for the
Green/Duwamish River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Project, General Investigation (GI)
study was authorized under Section 209 of Public Law 87-874, Puget Sound and Adjacent
Waters. Congress specifically authorized the Green/Duwamish River Basin Ecosystem
Restoration Project (ERY) in Section 101(b)(26) of WRDA 2000. This project is a
separable element of the Green/Duwamish ERP. The Green/Duwamish ERP gained
construction New Start capability in the Water and Energy Act of 2003.
2. Proposed Action.
The Corps is proposing to relocate and meander approximately 900 feet of Upper
Springbrook Creek through a 100 foot easement located in a forested corridor to the north.
The new channel alignment will require the excavation of 1077 cubic yards of material.
Large woody debris and 525 cubic yards of spawning gravel will be placed in the new
channel to enhance in -stream habitat quality. In addition, the existing 30 -inch diameter
corrugated steel culvert that runs underneath South 55th Street at the east end of the project
would be replaced with a 46 foot long, 10 foot wide, 4 foot high box culvert that meets the
requirement of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Design of Road
Culverts for Fish Passage.
3. Summary of Impacts and Compliance. Unavoidable adverse effects associated with
this project are expected to include minor temporary increases in turbidity in the creek,
temporary noise and increased traffic effects, a temporary reduction in aesthetic value
during construction, and the excavation of 0.19 acres of forested wetlands. However, the
LL11 VV ��
r
project will result in a net gain in aquatic habitat function and value due to the following: 1)
Moving the stream away from the road and its associated run-off will decrease the amount
of pollutants entering the stream and the overall "flashiness" of flow, 2) Creating meanders
and placing large woody debris will promote pool -riffle structure and in -stream
microhabitat for aquatic life as well as slow down water during higher flows, 3) Placing
gravel creates habitat suitable for benthic invertebrate colonization and salmonid spawning,
4) Providing fish passage allows salmonids to access higher value upstream habitat, 6)
Removing invasive vegetation from the project site, and planting native vegetation along
the stream, in areas of disturbance, and in the decommissioned channel enhances riparian
and wetland functions.
The Corps finds this projects is "not likely to adversely affect" federally listed species or
critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act. Concurrence was received from National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on 10 April 2001 and United Stated Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) on 27 March 2001. This project complies with Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. The Corps has prepared a 404(b)(1) Analysis, included as an attachment to the
draft EA (Appendix E). On 28 Apri12010 the project received a 401 water quality
certification and a Coastal Zone Consistency Determination from the Washington
Department of Ecology (WDOE). On 3 May 2010 the project received concurrence with a
finding of "No historic properties affected" from the State Historic Preservation Officer
(SHPO), contingent on monitoring of project construction by a professional archaeologist.
Impacts to water quality, aesthetics, traffic flow, and noise will generally be highly
localized and short in duration.
Avoidance measures and reduction of impacts will take the form of on-site biological and
archeological monitoring, the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) during
construction, and scheduling to avoid potential impacts to fish and wildlife species.
4. Finding.
Based on the attached environmental documentation, coordination, and analysis conducted
by the Corps environmental staff, l have determined that this project, given the long term
net gain in habitat value and function, will not result in significant adverse environmental
impacts. The proposed action is not a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment, and therefore does not require preparation of an
environmental impact statement.

Project Narrative
Name: Upper Springbrook Creek Restoration Project
Size: 2.01 Acres
Location: North side of S. 55th Street between SR -167 and Talbot Rd
City Ot Renton
Planning Divisior1
�'C CSC ��9iEQ
Summary: The US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and City of Renton propose to
remove Upper Springbrook Creek away from its straightened roadside location adjacent
to S. 55th St. and into a more natural stream channel, as well as replacing the culvert
underneath S. 55th St. with a more design more conducive to fish passage. The relocated
stream will flow into a 970 feet constructed streambed that will meander through a
forested wetland that borders HWY 167. This project will increase available spawning
habitat for adult fish, and will enhance rearing, foraging, and refuge habitat for juvenile
salmonid and resident fish in Upper Springbrook Creek by creating off -channel habitat
areas, removing the stream from a source of potential water quality contamination,
through provision of a riparian buffer, and by allowing access to higher quality habitat
located upstream.
The soils within the project limits are composed of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam with
a 6-15 percent slope in the vicinity of the existing channel. Further to the east of the
existing channel, the soil is mixed alluvial land (mix of sand, loamy fine sand and
gravelly sand) which is probably a remnant of the historical stream channel. Towards the
downstream end of the project, the soils are Snohomish loam silt, typical of flood plains.
The site is entirely composed of forested wetland and slopes down from the southeast to
the northwest at grades ranging from 2% - 12%. The primary drainage is an existing
roadside ditch that enters the site via a 30" culvert across S. 55th St. at the southeast
corner of the site. The ditch parallels S. 551h Street for approximately 900' before
entering a culvert at the west end of the site where the ditch crossed SR -167. Any rainfall
that falls on the site and does not infiltrate into the ground would sheet flow toward the
northwest before exiting the site.
Required permits include City of Renton Environmental Review and Critical Area
Exemption, US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404, Department of Ecology 401 and
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The existing land use of the site is
undeveloped forested wetland. The zoning designation of the site is R-14. The Corps has
prepared a draft Project Environmental Assessment which includes a wetland and stream
assessment and is included with the SEPA application submittals.
The project construction cost is estimated to be $900,000.
The project proposed to remove 10 Alder trees of S" diameter or greater. All trees that
are cut down will be used onsite as habitat features for the project.
The Project will require the excavation of 1335.5 CY of soil and placement of 590 CY of
soil for construction of the new channel and culvert. Additionally, 73.4 CY of logs will
be placed in the channel and wetland. Replacement of the culvert will involve adding
121.9 CY of concrete, crushed surfacing top course, base course and asphalt. The
excavation of the channel and staging areas will impact 11,761 square feet (0.27 acre) of
wetland.
The project will involve construction within the wetland
This project will conserve and enhance fish habitat and therefore is an exempt activity in
critical areas under Category a of the Exempt Activities Table in RMC 4-3-050C. Under
this exemption, it is requested that a Certificate of Exemption for Critical Areas
Exemption be issued.

Construction Mitigation Description
APR 111 7.n!0
Project Construction Dates lab �i%goThe Upper Springbrook Creek Restoration Project is scheduled for construction nVag�r
2011. Project construction will most likely begin in June with project completion in September.
Hours of Operation
It is anticipated that the contractor will work from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday.
If the Contractor requests to work outside of these hours, the Contractor will need to obtain
written approval from the City.
Propose Hauling/Transportation Routes
The project is located on S_ 55th St. which is a dead end street. Truck traffic to and from the site
will be routed east to Talbot Road S. and then north to S. 180th for access to southbound and
northbound SR -167.
Construction Mitigation Measures
Dust:
To minimize dust, the following best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented:
Cover, wet or lower freeboard of materials transported by truck.
2. Conduct street sweeping at the end of the workday.
3. Install and utilize stabilized construction entrance with wheel wash -down for trucks
exiting the site.
4. Re -vegetate exposed soils as quickly as possible after grading activities.
Traffic:
Prior to construction, the Contractor will be required to submit a traffic control plan to the City
for review and approval. The traffic control plan may require the Contractor to haul during
hours when traffic flow is minimized, such as during off-peak hours.
Road Closure:
No closure of S. 55`h St. is anticipated. The Contractor will need to maintain local access to
residence along S. 55th Street at all times during construction.
Erosion:
To minimize the amount of erosion during construction, the Contractor will be required to isolate
the work area from the stream and wetland and install erosion and sediment control BMPs, such
as silt fence and temporary catch basin inserts, to prevent silt and turbid water from entering
Springbrook Creek.
Construction Mitigation
March 30. 2010
Page 2 of 2
Creek Bypass:
A diversion pipe will be installed to bypass flows across S. 55`x' St. during construction of new
culvert.
Toxic Chemicals:
The Contractor will prepare a Spill Prevention Control Plan (SPCC), which must be approved by
the City prior to beginning construction. The SPCC must explain how the Contractor will
prevent, control and contain an accidental spill of hazardous material. The SPCC must include
the following elements:
I. All hazardous materials will be stored on land in containers clearly labeled with the
contents and appropriate for the specific material. Containers will be stored in areas with
appropriate safeguards (under cover, on an impervious surface).
2. No fueling or maintenance of construction equipment shall occur within 150 feet of
surface waters.
3. Personnel who transfer, or otherwise handle hazardous materials, will be trained in the
safe handling of the materials. They will have knowledge of the SPCC Plan as well as
the procedures and equipment necessary to initiate control and containment of a spill.
4. There will be daily inspections of equipment and hazardous materials storage areas.
5. If an accidental spill occurs, on-site personnel will immediately initiate measures to
control the source of the spill and contain the spilled material.
6. Materials necessary for the control and containment of a spill of hazardous materials will
include, but may not be limited to, oil -absorbent booms, oil -absorbent rags, and other
appropriate absorbent materials.
7. All materials necessary for the control and containment of hazardous materials will be
kept within the Project corridor, and personnel will be knowledgeable of their locations
and their manner of use.
8. If an accidental spill of hazardous materials occurs, the appropriate agencies will be
notified.
9. Control and containment efforts will take precedence over all other Project -related work.
Work will not resume until a spill has been contained and cleaned up; the cause of the
spill identified, and measures are taken to rectify the problem.
10. Materials used in control and containment efforts will be collected and disposed of at an
approved facility designed for the safe handling of hazardous materials.
Noise:
Increased short-term noise levels will occur from construction equipment such as dump trucks,
dewatering pumps, generators, vibratory compactor, and excavator. The project is located in a
residential area; however, SR -167 is located within 50 feet of the western end of the project area
where background noise levels are expected to be of similar levels from construction equipment.
Since the use of trucks and other equipment will be restricted to working hours, noise mitigation
measures are not proposed at this time. If noise becomes a problem during construction, the
Contractor may be required to use dump trucks with lined beds, or backup lights in lieu of
backup beepers to reduce excessive noise.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST APR I
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: InECZL-8�
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consideree
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 information 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

e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate
source of fill.
Does not apply - This is a nonproject action proposal.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes, erosion could occur as a result of excavation of the new stream channel and culvert.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for
example, asphalt or buildings)?
No additional impervious surface will be added. Existing asphalt will be removed and
replaced as part of construction of the fish passable culvert under S. 55t11 St.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Cofferdams and a bypass pipe will be installed to isolate the construction of the new culvert
from the Creek. This will prevent sediment disturbed during culvert installation from
entering the Creek. Measures to reduce or control erosion include implementation of
construction best management practices (BMPs) (e.g., careful grading practices, isolating
work area from streamflow, silt fences and/straw bales, storm drain sediment filters). BMPs
specific to in -water work will be used to minimize erosion and sediments that could potentially
cause harm to fish. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Spill Prevention, Control, and
Containment (SPCC) Plan will be prepared for the project.
The roadway will be used for Project staging. Excavated soil may be temporarily stockpiled
on the roadway or at an upland site away from the construction area during culvert
installation and channel construction. All soil stockpiles and vehicle fueling and equipment
staging areas will be located at least 100 feet from surface waters. Contractor will be required
to submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) which includes requirements for
applying best management practices for controlling erosion from the site.
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 vehicles will temporarily increase air emissions such as diesel exhaust in the
immediate project vicinity. These emissions will be highly localized and will not result in
significant impacts.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? ❑ Yes ® No. If
so, generally describe.
None Known
e. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
Possible BMPs to reduce or control emissions include:
❑ cover, wet, or lower freeboard on materials transported by truck;
❑ clear roadways of mud and particulate matter (street sweeping);
❑ route and schedule construction truck activity to avoid traffic delays and congestion to abate
concentrations of exhaust emissions; and
❑ revegetate exposed soils as quickly as possible after grading activities;

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)? ® Yes ❑ No.
If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
The project site includes Upper Springbrook Creek which flows through a road side ditch and
a forested wetland located on the north side of the ditch.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters?
Yes ❑ No.
If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
The project will replace approximately 900 feet of the ditch with a 970 feet excavated stream
channel and construct a replacement fish passable culvert and placement of logs in the
floodplain along the northside of the proposed channel.
All in -stream work will be completed within the approved in -water construction window.
Prior to beginning any in -stream work, National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries)
fish exclusion protocols will be implemented to remove and exclude fish from the work area.
Following fish removal and exclusion, cofferdams will be installed to isolate the construction
area.
Upper Springbrook Creek will be diverted around the existing and future culvert location
through an appropriately sized diversion pipe. The construction area will need to be
dewatered prior to culvert replacement. The dewatering discharge will either be treated, if
necessary, prior to discharge back into the creek to meet state water quality standards or
relocated to an authorized discharge location for water quality treatment (e.g., sanitary
sewer).
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.
Approximately 1335 cubic yards of dredge material will be removed from the wetland for the
construction of the new channel, floodplain improvements and culvert construction.
Approximately 370 cubic yards of 6 -inch minus substrate (gravel) from an approved pit will
be placed at adepth of 1 foot along the channel bottom and side slopes.
Approximately 19 cubic yards of dredge material will be placed at the upstream end of the
existing channel to close it off from receiveing stream flows once the new channel is
operational.
Approximately 25 cubic yard of woody debris will be placed in the channel and 4$ cubic yards
of logs will be placed in the floodplain.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose,
and approximate quantities if known.

Water withdrawn to dewater the Project site to install the culvert will be discharged to the
new channel downstream of the construction area. The turbidity of the dewatering discharge
will be monitored in accordance with Department of Ecology permit requirements. If turbidity
would cause a water quality violation, the discharge will be routed to a sedimentation tank for
filtration or disposal through the sanitary sewer system.
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.

2) Could waste material enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
During construction, there is the potential for waste material to enter the surface water
system, primarily petroleum hydrocarbons from construction equipment.
d) Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any.
The contractor will be required to isolate the work area from streamflow during construction
and provide a Spill Prevention, Control, and Containment (SPCC) Plan. The plan would
include specific notification procedures, cleanup and disposal instructions for different
products, and quick -response control, containment, and cleanup measures that will be
available on-site prior to the start of construction. All vehicle fueling and equipment staging
areas will be located at least 154 feet from surface waters; erosion and sediment control BMPs

Brief Description of Project
The Corps and City of Renton propose to remove Upper Springbrook Creek away from it's straigntened roadside location
adjacent to S. 55t' St. and into a more natural stream channel, as well as replacing the culvert underneath S. 551h St. with a
more design more conducive to fish passage. The relocated stream will flow into a constructed streambed that will meander
through a forested wetland that borders HWY 167. This project will increase available spawning habitat for adult fish, and will
enhance rearing, foraging, and refuge habitat for juvenile salmonid and resident fish in Upper Springbrook Creek by creating off -
channel habitat areas, removing the stream from a source of potential water quality contamination, through provision of a
riparian buffer, and by allowing access to higher quality habitat located u stream.
