The project site extends across the length of the Bridge (approximately 200 feet) between the east and west banks of the LCR (Figures 3 and 4). The proposed project consists of the following elements: • Place light-emitting diode (LED) lamps along footpath on the Bridge (Figures 3, 4, and 5); and; • Install two 3-foot by 5-foot solar panels on the Bridge (Figures 3, 4, 6 and 7). The City of Renton expressed concerns regarding potential light impingement on the adjacent LCR resulting from installation of new light fixtures on the Bridge. The focus of this study is to assess potential habitat alteration to the LCR and its associated riparian habitat due to the proposed installation of LED lighting along the footpath of the Bridge. Boeing's proposed lighting installation is being conducted to improve safety at the facility for Boeing employees and contractors who must work at night. The proposed plan will install a 200-foot-long, 24-volt, 250-watt LED amber-hued rope lighting across the entire length of the Bridge along the footpath on the south side of the Bridge (Figures 3 and 4). The proposed lights (587 nanometer wavelength) will have a luminous flux of 14.9 lumens per foot and the 200 linear feet of lighting will only add a total of 2,980 lumens to the Bridge walkway (equivalent to one 4-foot fluorescent tube, but amber instead of white). The lights will be mounted on the bridge curb only 9 inches off the ground with lighting directed horizontally across the walkway (Figure 5). The use of LED amber-hued lighting and its placement at near deck level will prevent errant light from illuminating the underlying LCR. The bridge deck is constructed of solid concrete rather than grating, so that there are no gaps in the bridge deck through which light can reach the underlying river. Lights will be powered by a stand-alone system of two 3-foot x 5-foot solar panels and battery storage units. The solar panels will be mounted on the south side of the bridge structure, one on the east end and one on the west end, landward of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) (Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7). No construction activities will occur and no structures will be placed below the OHWM.

The project site is defined as the South Aircraft Bridge where it crosses the LCR approximately 3,950 feet south of its mouth, where it discharges to Lake Washington. The South Aircraft Bridge is used by Boeing to transport aircraft (i.e., 737s) from Boeing's production facility located on the east side of the LCR to the Renton Municipal Airport where the planes are launched and landed. The Boeing facility and the Renton Municipal Airport consist primarily of concrete and asphalt surfaces. A vegetation survey was conducted along the east and west banks of the LCR adjacent to and extending 100 feet upstream and downstream of the South Aircraft Bridge (Figure 2). Appendix A provides a photo log depicting habitat conditions and vegetation along the riparian zone of the east and west banks of the LCR adjacent to the project site. The riparian zone along the west bank of the LCR south of and within 100 feet of the Bridge is narrow (6 to 12 feet wide), abutting an 8-foot-high concrete flood-control wall (Appendix A, Photos 1, 2, 4, and 9). Riparian vegetation at the time of the visit was very sparse and was limited primarily to patches of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), and alder (A/nus rubra) (Appendix A, Photos 5 through 9). Reed canarygrass, Japanese knotweed, and Himalayan blackberry are listed as noxious weeds by King County. The width of the riparian area is limited by the concrete flood-control wall (Appendix A, Photos 1 and 2). No trees with trunks greater than or equal to 10 inches in diameter at breast-height (DBH) are located within 100 feet of south of the Bridge on the west bank. The west bank of the LCR within 100 feet north of the Bridge is more heavily vegetated than that south of the Bridge (Figure 2 and Appendix A, Photos 10 through 12). Vegetation on the west bank of the LCR within 100 feet north of the Bridge consists of alder, unidentified species of willow ( Sa/ix Amee Foster Wheeler Project No. LY14160300 7 p:\boeing ren1on\Jy14160300 s bridge lighting lake-stream\reports\streamstucy\slreamstudy_habitatdatarp\_011315.docx "~ amec,~ foster wheeler spp.), reed canarygrass, Japanese knotweed, and Himalayan blackberry, as well as an unidentified species of evergreen tree. No trees with trunks greater than or equal to 10 inches DBH are located within 100 feet north of the Bridge on the west bank. The east bank of the LCR within 100 feet south of the Bridge is more heavily vegetated than the west bank south of the Bridge (Figure 2 and Appendix A, Photo 13). Riparian vegetation on the east bank south of the Bridge is similar to that located on the west bank north of the bridge, with the exception that the riparian corridor is not confined by a flood-control wall. The Cedar River Trail Park, maintained by the City of Renton, is located along the east bank of the LCR and consists of manicured lawns, ornamental shrubs and native vegetation (Appendix A, Photo 15). An 8-foot-wide asphalt pedestrian path is located in the Cedar River Trail Park, within 60 feet of the LCR. The Boeing plant is located within 75 feet of the LCR (Figures 1 and 2). No trees with trunks greater than or equal to 1 O inches DBH are located within 100 feet south of the Bridge on the east bank. The vegetation on the east bank of the LCR within 100 feet north of the Bridge is similar to that south of the bridge (Appendix A, Photos 14 through 18). The Cedar River Trail Park extends north to the Boeing property at the mouth of the LCR and consists of manicured lawns, ornamental shrubs and native vegetation, and an asphalt pedestrian path (Figure 2 and Appendix A. Photo 15). No trees with trunks greater than or equal to 10 inches DBH are located within 100 feet north of the Bridge on the east bank. 2.3 ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION Riparian habitats have important ecological functions other than providing habitat for birds and other wildlife. Healthy riparian vegetation protects banks from erosion, influences in-channel aquatic habitats, maintains favorable water temperature for fish through shading, filters runoff, and provides nutrients. Riparian vegetation creates meanders, increases habitat complexity, and can protect against scour during severe storm events. Riparian habitats link upland and aquatic habitats. Upland habitats have a critical role in watershed function and affect riparian and aquatic habitats, particularly in drier, low-elevation sites. The riparian zone along the east and west banks of the LCR within 100 feet of the project site is sparsely vegetated and includes a number of invasive species, as discussed in Section 2.2, above. The primary ecological functions provided by riparian vegetation along the east and west banks of the LCR within 100 feet of the project site include: • Nesting and foraging habitat for birds and small mammals, • Input of terrestrial insects from overhanging vegetation, Amee Foster Wheeler 8 Project No. LY14160300 p:\boeing renton\ly14160300 s bndge lighting lake-stream\reports\streamstudy\streams\udy_ habitatdatarpt_ 011315.docx 1$ amec _JI • Input of allochthonous organic matter (via leaf fall), • Limited erosion control, and • Limited habitat complexity. foster wheeler The LCR is a manmade channel created in 1912 when the river was diverted as a tributary to the former Black River directly to Lake Washington. The LCR is channelized and substantially altered, so that there is very limited riparian area to provide all of the potential ecological functions of an unaltered habitat. Riparian vegetation provides very little. if any, shading to the LCR because of the dominance of small shrubs and the lack of large trees. Both banks of the river in the project area are contained within levees and/or flood-control walls, so there is no potential for the creation of meanders or off-channel habitat. Because of extensive development along both banks of the river in the project area (Boeing to the east and west and the Renton Municipal Airport to the west), there is little, if any, transition between riparian and upland habitats. 2.4 FISH AND WILDLIFE This section addresses fish and wildlife species that may use the LCR in the vicinity of the project site. 2.4.1 Mammals No mammals or signs of mammal use were observed during the site visits. Given the level of development in the project area, it is likely that only small mammals such as squirrels, mice, rats, voles, moles, raccoons, opossums, muskrats, and river otters use the riparian areas along the LCR shoreline within 100 feet of the project area. Richter and Azous (1997), conducting small-mammal surveys in a wetland along the LCR, reported 13 species of mammals (Table 1 ). These, as well as other small mammals common to the Puget lowlands, may occur along the LCR adjacent to the project site. 2.4.2 Birds Several bird species were observed during the site visits, including American crow ( Corvus brachyrhynchos), American robin ( Turdus migratorius), Canada goose (Branta canadensis) and European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). Richter and Azous (1997) conducted bird surveys in a wetland of the LCR between late May and mid-June in 1988, 1989, 1991 1992, and 1995 to determine distribution and relative abundance. They reported 58 species of birds (Table 2). It is likely that these, as well as other species of birds common to the Puget lowlands, nest or forage in the project vicinity. 2.4.3 Amphibians and Reptiles No amphibians or reptiles were observed during the site visits; however, it is likely that amphibian (e.g., Anurans) and reptile species (e.g., turtles) found in the Lake Washington basin may use the Amee Foster Wheeler Project No. L Y14160300 9 p:\boe1ng renton\ly14160300 s bridge lighting lake-stream\reports\streamstudy\streamstudy_ tiabilatdatarpt_ 011315.docx ! amec .. foster wheeler areas within the site vicinity. Richter and Azous (1997) reported the occurrence of six amphibian species in the LCR: • Ensatina (salamander) (Ensatina eschscholtzi1), • Long-toed salamander (Ambysloma macrodacly/us), • Northwestern salamander (A. graci/e ), • Pacific tree frog (Pseudoacris regil/a), • Red-legged frog (Rana aurora), and • Western red-backed salamander (Plethodon vehiculum). No information was located listing reptile species occurring along the LCR in the project vicinity; however, reptiles listed for King County (King County, 2008) that could occur in the project vicinity include: • Common garter snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis), • Northern alligator lizard (E/garia coerulea), • Northwestern garter snake (T. ordinoides), • Painted turtle (Chrysemys picta), • Rubber boa (Charina bottae), • Slider (Trachemys scrip/a), • Western fence lizard ( Sce/oporus occidentalis), and • Western terrestrial garter snake (T. elegans). 2.4.4 Fish Small fish were observed jumping in the LCR adjacent to the project site during the site visits. Although they could not be identified, they appeared to be small salmonids. The Lake Washington system, including the LCR adjacent to the project site, hosts many fish species, including five salmonid species: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (0. kisutch), sockeye/kokanee salmon (0. nerka), coastal cutthroat trout (0. clarki clark1), and steelhead/rainbow trout ( 0. mykiss). Anadromous forms of each of these species use the Cedar River system as migratory, forage, nursery, and spawning habitat. so individuals are present in the river both as adults during migrations to spawning grounds and as juveniles (Kerwin, 2001 ). All of these species occur seasonally in the LCR adjacent to the project site. Additionally, there have been isolated reports of coastal/Puget Sound bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus) occurring in the Lake Washington system; however, it is believed that few bull trout occur in the Lake Washington system, if they occur at all. Amee Foster Wheeler 10 Project No. LY14160300 p:\boeing renton\ly14160300 s bridge lighting lake-stream\reports\streamstudy\streamstudy_habltatdatarpt_011315.docx ,. amec~ foster · wheeler Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steel head trout, and bull trout are federally-listed species under the Endangered Species Act. Nonanadromous forms of winter steelhead (rainbow trout), sockeye (kokanee ), and cutthroat trout may also occur in the LCR Resident rainbow trout spend their entire life in the Lake Washington system. The resident rainbow trout population was sustained with hatchery plants because they rarely successfully reproduce in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8; however, releases of hatchery rainbow trout have been all but eliminated. Nonanadromous coastal cutthroat trout also occur in the Lake Washington system and are much more abundant than the anadromous form. Kokanee salmon is the freshwater, resident form of 0. nerka. Some progeny from the parents of anadromous sockeye may also remain in Lake Washington for all or a portion of their lives (resident/anadromous sockeye) (Kerwin, 2001). The largest single population of adfluvial bull trout in western Washington is found above Cedar Falls in the upper Cedar River watershed. It is believed that a small number of bull trout pass through the reservoir and downstream hydroelectric facilities to the river reaches below Cedar Falls. However, ii is apparently not sufficient to support the establishment of bull trout populations under the current ecological conditions (Corps, 2002). Native char, presumably bull trout, have been observed in the fish ladder viewing pool at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks as recently as 1997, while isolated reports of native char being caught in or around Lake Washington occur every few years. A large juvenile char, again, presumably a bull trout (-250 millimeter (mm], 3 year old), was caught in the LCR in July 1998. An adult char was also caught in the LCR in April of 1993 (Corps, 2002). Based on this information, occurrence of bull trout in the LCR adjacent to the project site is expected to be extremely limited, if they occur at all. Species endemic to the Lake Washington system include the northern pike minnow (Ptychocheilus oregonensis), peamouth (Mylochei/us caurinus), sculpins (Coitus spp.), and longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) (Weitkamp et al., 2000; Wydoski and Whitney, 2003). Twenty-four non-native fish species (Table 3) have been identified in the Lake Washington/Lake Union system. A number of these species are now believed to be no longer present in the system. Some of these species are known to prey on juvenile salmon (e.g., smallmouth bass) while others are potential competitors with juvenile salmon ids for food (Kerwin, 2001 ).

No direct or indirect impacts to riparian vegetation or trees will occur as a result of the proposed project; therefore, no measures to protect vegetation or trees have been incorporated into the work plan. 2.6 No NET Loss OF ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION The project will result in no net loss of ecological function in the riparian zone of the LCR adjacent to and 100 feet upstream and downstream of the Bridge. As described above, the LCR adjacent to the project site provides limited ecological function due to low habitat diversity and complexity.

Subsequent sections of the report will discuss following: • The layers, diversity and variety of habitat found on the site; • The location of any migration or movement corridors; • The species typically associated with the cover types, including an identification of any critical wildlife species that might be expected to be found; • Identification of any areas that have been previously disturbed or degraded by human activity or natural processes; • A summary of existing habitat functions and values; and • A summary of proposed habitat alterations and impacts and proposed habitat management program. 3.1 HABITAT DIVERSITY The LCR downstream of 1-405 (approximately 1.6 miles) is an artificial channel created early in the 20'h century and is completely constrained between levees and revetments. This reach was regularly dredged to prevent flooding from the time of its completion in 1912 until the mid-1970s. Portions of the reach were again dredged in 1999 for the first time since the mid-1970s. Flood-control dredging is proposed during the summer of 2015. In-stream habitat in the reach is almost entirely glide, with little habitat complexity. Land uses prevent floodplain connectivity and have eliminated the potential for re- connection with a natural floodplain or the establishment of a riparian corridor. Channelization and existing land uses also prevent significant large woody debris (LWD) from accumulating in the channel. The reach is also very low-gradient and depositional, and the substrates have high levels of fine sediments (Corps, 2004; Parametrix and Adolfson, 2010). The shoreline along the LCR adjacent to the project site consists of developed property belonging to Boeing and the City of Renton. With realignment of the Cedar River into Lake Washington in 1912, the zone of sediment deposition was localized through the City of Renton (Perkins, 1994). The vast majority, if not all, of the non- suspendable sediment load is now deposited along this reach because Lake Washington lies at the river's mouth. With the path of the river fixed by armored banks, progressive infilling of the channel resulted. Sediment is continually deposited in the downstream 2 miles of the river and in an enlarging delta in Lake Washington.

LWD in the stretch of the LCR adjacent to the project site is extremely limited (Appendix A, Photo 1 ). River discharge at the time of the site visits in May and November 2014 was approximately 1,000 cubic feet per second (USGS, 2014). Channelization of the LCR has eliminated meanders within the lower river, such that the lower 1.6 miles of river consists of a uniform glide habitat with a nearly complete absence of riffles and pools. Habitat diversity along the LCR adjacent to the project site is extremely limited. 3.2 MIGRATION CORRIDORS A query of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's Priority Habitat and Species (PHS) database (http://wdfw.wa.gov/mapping/phs/) identified five salmonid species that use the LCR as a migration corridor: • Chinook salmon; • Coho salmon; • Sockeye salmon; • Steelhead and rainbow trout; and • Coastal cutthroat trout. Two of the above species, Puget Sound Chinook salmon and Puget Sound steelhead trout, are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Bull trout, a member of the char family, may also be found in the LCR and is also listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Population status information and extent of use of this area is currently unknown. Adult and subadult size individuals have been observed infrequently in the LCR (below Cedar Falls), Lake Washington, and at the Locks. No spawning activity or juvenile rearing has been observed and no distinct spawning populations are known to exist in Lake Washington outside of the upper Cedar River above Lake Chester Morse (not accessible to bull trout within Lake Washington) (NOAA-Fisheries and USFWS, 2008). It is unlikely that bull trout use the Cedar River as a migratory corridor. 3.3 SPECIES AND COVER TYPES The almost complete absence of riparian vegetation along the west bank of the LCR and the limited riparian vegetation along the east bank adjacent to the project site and the highly developed shorelines along both banks of the LCR severely limit habitat availability and use by multiple plant and animal species. The concrete flood-control wall on the west bank of the LCR adjacent to the project Amee Foster Wheeler 14 Project No. L Y14160300 p:\boeing renton\ly1416D300 s bridge lighting lake-streamlreports\streamstudy\streamstudy_habitatdatarpt_ 011315.docx J. amec-~ foster · wheeler site severely limits the width of the riparian zone and eliminates the transition zone from riparian to terrestrial habitats. Typical plant and animal assemblages and associations that would be expected along the riparian corridor of the LCR are, for the most part, absent along the stretch adjacent to the project site. A query of the Washington Department of Natural Resources' Natural Heritage Program online database (http://www.dnr.wa.gov/ResearchScience/HowTo/ConservationRestorationlPagesl amp_nh_data_order.aspx) did not identify any plant or terrestrial animal species of special concern in the vicinity of the project site. Critical wildlife species occurring at the project site include those salmonids identified in Section 2.4.4 above. 3.4 IDENTIFICATION OF DISTURBED AREAS The entire project area is highly developed and disturbed. As stated in Section 3.1 above, the lower 1.6 miles of the LCR is an artificially-created channel with extensive development along both banks. 3.5 EXISTING HABITAT VALUES AND FUNCTIONS The LCR adjacent to the project site has very limited habitat value and is low functioning. A combination of two habitat assessment methods was used to provide a qualitative assessment of the existing habitat values and functions. These habitat assessment methods were the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Rapid Bioassessment Protocols for Use in Wadeable Streams and Rivers (Barbour et al., 1999) and the U.S. Forest Service's Stream Inventory Handbook: Levels I and II (USFS, 2010). Both methods incorporate the use of physicochemical and biological parameters to assess habitat value and functionality. The EPA's Rapid Bioassessment Protocols incorporates both benthic invertebrate and fish assemblages' data in evaluating habitat value and function. For the purposes of this project, neither benthic invertebrate nor fish assemblage data were collected as part of the evaluation process due to the necessity of applying for and receiving the necessary permits to gather such data. The habitat assessment is based on physicochemical conditions observed at the project site: • Temperature; • Water quality; • Reach sinuosity; • Vegetative conditions of the stream banks and the riparian zone; and • Condition of the floodplain (e.g., accessibility from the bank, overflow, and size). Amee Foster Wheeler Project No. LY14160300 15 p:\boeing renton\ly14160300 s bridge lighting lake-streamlreports\streamstudylstreamstudy _ habitatdatarp1_ 011315.docx am~cff foster wheeler Each of the above parameters is discussed below. 3.5.1 Temperature Mean monthly water temperatures (°C) in the LCR at Renton for the period of 1992 through 2013 (USGS, 2014) are as follows: • January -6.0; • July -15.5; • February -6.4; • August -15.8; • March-7.6; • September -13. 7; • April -9.4; • October-10.9; • May-11.5; • November -8.1; and • June -13.2; • December -6.3. The warmest water temperatures occur during the months of June, July, August, and September; however, even the highest mean monthly temperatures are compliant with Washington State aquatic life temperature criteria (Table 4 ), with the exception of the char spawning and rearing beneficial use. Char (e.g., bull trout) do not spawn in the LCR and it is highly unlikely that they use the LCR as rearing habitat. 3.5.2 Water Quality No site-specific water quality data were found for the project site; however, water quality monitoring has been conducted in south Lake Washington by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Washington State's Water Quality Assessment [303(d) & 305(b) Report] (Ecology, 2008) identified exceedances of water quality standards for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and fecal coliforms in the LCR. No chemical exceedances of state water quality criteria were identified for the LCR adjacent to the project site. 3.5.3 Reach Sinuosity As discussed above, the lower 1.6 miles of the LCR are channelized and much of the shoreline on both banks is restrained by bulkheads. There is no sinuosity within the entire 1.6 miles of the LCR. Stream sinuosity can provide increased habitat complexity through the creation of pools, riffles, and glides, as well as the creation of off-channel habitat. 3.5.4 Vegetative Conditions As described previously, riparian vegetation is sparse along the both banks of the LCR within 100 feet of the project site. As such, habitat diversity and functionality along this reach of the LCR is severely limited. Amee Foster Wheeler 16 Project No. LY14160300 p:lboeing rentonlly14160300 s bridge lighting lake-streamlreports\streamstudy\streamstudy _ habita\datarpt_ 011315.docx 3.5.5 Floodplain Condition ·~ amec ..-~.,,. foster · wheeler The LCR is an artificially-created channel confined by levees and bulkheads on each bank. Except in extreme discharge conditions, the LCR has very little connectivity with its floodplain and virtually no potential for formation of off-channel habitat within the floodplain. Because of the low gradient of the LCR, it functions as a sediment depositional zone. The City of Renton and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers periodically dredge the LCR for flood-control purposes. The City of Renton is proposing flood-control dredging for the summer of 2015. 3.5.6 Habitat Values and Functions at the Project Site A qualitative assessment of the LCR adjacent to the project site indicates that it provides very low habitat value and function due primarily to the sparse riparian vegetation and habitat complexity. 3.5.7 Habitat Alterations and Impacts and Proposed Habitat Management Program The project will not involve any in-water components, nor will any portion of the project occur in the riparian zone of the LCR. The one component of the project that could potentially affect aquatic biota in the LCR is light impingement from the additional lighting proposed for the Bridge. The proposed lights will be amber (587 nanometer wavelength) with a luminous flux of 14.9 lumens per foot. The 200 linear feet of lighting will only add a total of 2,980 lumens to the Bridge walkway (equivalent to one 4-foot fluorescent tube, but amber instead of white). Because the lights will be mounted only 9 inches above the bridge deck and directed horizontally across the walkway, there will be no direct light impingement on the surface water of the LCR. Additionally, the proposed solar panels and battery storage units mounted on each end of the south side of the bridge will be located landward of the OHWM, so there will be no overwater shading attributable to these structures. Therefore, the project will not alter existing habitat conditions along the LCR. No habitat management or mitigation program is required for this project and none are proposed.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE AND CONSISTENCY, SHORELINE ELEMENT: The site is located in the Shoreline High,lntensity Overlay District. The objective of the High Intensity Overlay is to provide opportunities for large-scale office and commercial employment centers as well as multi-family residential use and public services. This district provides opportunities for.water-dependent and water-oriented uses while protecting existing ecological functions and restoring ecological functions in areas that have been previously degraded. Development may also provide for public use and/or community use, especially access to and along the water's edge. The proposal is compliant with the following Shoreline policies: Policy SH-14. Shoreline use and development should be carried out in a manner that prevents or mitigates adverse impacts so that the resulting ecological condition does not become worse than the current condition. This means ensuring no net loss of ecological functions and processes in all development and use. Permitted uses should be designed and conducted to minimize, in so far as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment (RCW 90.58.020). Shoreline ecological functions that should be protected include, but are not limited to, fish and wildlife habitat, food chain support, and water temperature maintenance. Shoreline processes that shall be protected include, but are not limited to, water flow; littoral drift; erosion and accretion; infiltration; ground water recharge and discharge; sediment delivery, transport, and storage; large woody debris recruitment; organic matter input; nutrient and pathogen removal; and stream channel formation/ ma i nte na nee. Objective SH-E. Existing economic uses and activities on the shorelines should be recognized and economic uses or activities that are water-oriented should be encouraged and supported. Policy SH-18. All economic activities on the shoreline shall provide for no net loss of ecological functions during construction and operation. B. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: The subject site is classified as Shoreline High Intensity on the City of Renton Shoreline Overlay Map. The following development standards are applicable to the proposal: 1. No Net Loss Required ,/ Shoreline use and development shall be carried out in a manner that prevents or mitigates adverse impacts to ensure no net loss of ecological functions and processes in all development and use. Permitted uses are designed and conducted to minimize, in so far as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment (RCW 90.58.020). Shoreline ecological functions that shall be protected include, but are not limited to, fish and wildlife habitat, food chain support, and water temperature maintenance. Shoreline processes that shall be protected include, but are not limited to, water flow; erosion and accretion; infiltration; groundwater recharge and discharge; sediment delivery, transport, and storage; large woody debris recruitment; organic matter input; nutrient and pathogen removal; and stream channel formation/maintenance. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Cedar River Boeing South Bridge Pedestrian Lighting Project Shoreline Management Perm;t LUAlS-000040, SM DATE OF PERMIT: March 9, 2015 Page 4 of 11 Staff Comment: The applicant submitted Standard Stream Study and Habitat Date Report, prepared by AMEC Foster Wheeler, dated January, 2015, attached. This report concluded that the proposed project would not result in a loss of ecological functions or values, in the riparian zone of the Lower Cedar River adjacent to and 100 feet upstream and downstream of the existing bridge. 2. View Obstruction and Visual Quality N/A N/A View Corridors Required: Where commercial, industrial, multiple use, multi-family and/or multi-lot developments are proposed, primary structures shall provide for view corridors between buildings where views of the shoreline are available from public right-of-way or trails. Minimum Setbacks for Commercial Development Adjacent to Residential or Park Uses: All new or expanded commercial development adjacent to residential use and public parks shall provide fifteen feet (15') setbacks from adjacent properties to attenuate proximity impacts such as noise, light and glare, and may address scale and aesthetic impacts. Fencing or landscape areas may be required to provide a visual screen. Lighting Requirements: Display and other exterior lighting shall be designed and operated so as to prevent glare, to avoid illuminating nearby properties used for noncommercial purposes, and to prevent hazards for public traffic. Methods of controlling spillover light include, but are not limited to, limits on the height of light structure, limits on light levels of fixtures, light shields, and screening. Staff Comment: AMEC Foster Wheeler identified that the provided Standard Stream Study and Habitat Date Report prepared for the subject project was focused to assess potential habitat alterations to the Lower Cedar River and its associated riparian habitat due to the proposed installation of LED lighting along the footpath of the Bridge. The report indicated that the proposed LED amber-hued rope lights would have a luminous flux of 14.9 lumens per foot and the 200 linear feet of lighting would only add a total of 2,980 lumens to the Bridge walkway. The lumens added would be equivalent to one 4-foot fluorescent tube, amber instead of white. The lights are proposed to be mounted 9 inches off the ground with lighting directed horizontally across the walkway via the use of a shield. The report concluded that the use of LED amber-hued lighting and the light's placement at near deck level would prevent errant light from illuminating the underlying river. In addition, the bridge deck is constructed of solid concreate which would not permit light penetration into the Cedar River. Comments were received from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe which indicated that the 587 nanometer wavelength of the proposed amber lights appears to be consistent with recommendations to limit emissions of short wavelength "blue light" color spectrum to control light pollution effects on fish and wildlife. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe requested that the lights be shielded or insure that the light projection is strictly downwards and consider using motion sensors to limit the amount of time they are activated. To ensure impacts from light are reduced staff recommends as a condition of approval that the lights are installed with shields that direct the light strictly downwards towards the bridge deck and that the lights are motion activated to reduce the amount of time in which the lights are on. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Cedar River Boeing South Bridge Pedestrian Lighting Project Shoreline Management Permit LUA15-000040, SM DATE OF PERMIT: March 9, 2015 Page 5 of 11 Reflected Lights to Be Limited: Building surfaces on or adjacent to the water shall employ N/A materials that limit reflected light. Integration and Screening of Mechanical Equipment: Building mechanical equipment shall be incorporated into building architectural features, such as pitched roofs, to the maximum N/A extent feasible. Where mechanical equipment cannot be incorporated into architectural features, a visual screen shall be provided consistent with building exterior materials that obstructs views of such equipment. Visual Prominence of Freestanding Structures to Be Minimized: Facilities not incorporated N/A into buildings including fences, piers, poles, wires, lights, and other freestanding structures shall be designed to minimize visual prominence Maximum Stair and Walkway Width: Stairs and walkways located within shoreline vegetated buffers shall not exceed four feet (4') in width; provided, that where ADA requirements N/A apply, such facilities may be increased to six feet (6') in width. Stairways shall conform to the existing topography to the extent feasible 3. Community Disturbances: Noise, odors, night lighting, water and land traffic, and other structures and activities shall be considered in the design plans and their impacts avoided or mitigated . ./ Staff Comment: If the project condition is met to place the lights on motion sensors the amount of time the lights are activated would be minimized reducing impacts of night lighting. Staff does not anticipate any noise or order impacts ore a result of the subject project. 4. Public Access Physical or visual access to shorelines shall be incorporated in all new development when the development would either generate a demand for one or more forms of such access, would impair existing legal access opportunities or rights, or is required to meet the specific policies and regulations of the Shoreline Master Program. Cedar River A: Public physical access from a trail parallel to the water should be provided if the Renton Municipal Airport redevelops in the future, balanced with goals of ecological ./ restoration. Staff Comment: All existing public access will be maintained. 5. Building and Development Location -Shoreline Orientation Shoreline developments shall locate the water-dependent, water-related, and water-enjoyment portions of their developments along the shoreline. Development and use shall be designed in a manner that directs land alteration to the least sensitive portions of the site to maximize vegetation conservation; minimize impervious surfaces and runoff; protect riparian, nearshore and wetland habitats; protect City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Cedar River Boeing South Bridge Pedestrian Lighting Project Shoreline Management Permit LUAl5-000040, SM DATE OF PERMIT: March 9, 2015 Page 6 of 11 wildlife and habitats; protect archaeological, historic and cultural resources; and preserve aesthetic values N/A Location of Development: Development and use shall be designed in a manner that directs land alteration to the least sensitive portions of the site. Staff Comment: All work is proposed on the existing South Boeing Bridge. No work would be below the OHWM. No trees and/or riparian vegetation would be removed or impacted as a result af the subject project. Minimization of Site Alteration: Development shall minimize site alteration in sites with substantial unaltered natural features by applying the following criteria: (a) Vehicle and pedestrian circulation systems shall be designed to limit clearing, grading, and alteration of topography and natural features. (bl Impervious surfacing for parking lot/space areas shall be limited through the use of under-building parking or permeable surfaces where feasible. (c) Utilities shall share roadway and driveway corridors and rights-of-way wherever feasible. (d) Development shall be located and designed to avoid the need for structural shoreline stabilization over the life of the development. Exceptions may be made for the limited instances where stabilization is necessary to protect allowed uses, particularly water- dependent uses, where no alternative locations are available and no net loss of ecological functions will result. Location for Accessory Development: Accessory development or use that does not require a shoreline location shall be located outside of shoreline jurisdiction unless such development is required to serve approved water-oriented uses and/or developments or unless otherwise allowed in a High Intensity designation. When sited within shoreline jurisdiction, uses and/or developments such as parking, service buildings or areas, access roads, utilities, signs and storage of materials shall be located inland away from the land/water interface and landward of water-oriented developments and/or other approved uses unless a location closer to the water is reasonably necessary. Navigation and Recreation to Be Preserved: Shoreline uses shall not deprive other uses of reasonable access to navigable waters. Existing water-related recreation shall be preserved. 6. Standards for Density, Setbacks, and Height Staff Comment: The proposed project is to install pedestrian lighting on an existing bridge crossing to improve pedestrian safety. To power the lights, two solar panels will be placed on the existing bridge structure. The Shoreline Bulk Standards, Tobie 4-3-090D7o establish the minimum required dimensional standards for development, including oil structures and substantial alteration of natural topography. The proposed project odds new utilities (so/or panels) to on existing bridge, which would not constitute o substantial alteration of natural topography. Furthermore, pursuant to 4-3- 090D7d.iv. "Activities Exempt from Buffers and Setbacks", indicate that necessary access, such os roods that must cross shorelines ore exempt from buffers and setbacks. The proposed project would odd two solar panels (loco/ utility) to on existing rood/bridge.

Setbacks and buffers from the OHWM: For non-water oriented uses a 100 foot setback is N/A required from the OHWM. Vegetation Conservation Buffer: 100 feet. N/A Cedar River Reach A Standard: Enhancement of native riparian vegetation shall be implemented as part of park management, balanced with needs of flood control levees and opportunities to provide public visual and physical access to the shoreline. Building Height -Maximum: In water-35 ft. Within 100 feet of OHWM -35 ft. More than 100 feet from the OHWM -35 ft. Height up to that established in chapter 4-2 RMC, Zoning Districts -Uses and Standards, may be allowed for non-water-dependent uses in the following reaches: Lake Washington Reaches C, H, I, and J; Cedar River Reaches A, B, and C; Black River Reach A; May Creek Reach B; and Springbrook Creek Reaches B, C, and D: N/A For buildings landward of one hundred feet (100') from OHWM, the maximum building height shall be defined by a maximum allowable building height envelope that shall: i. Begin along a line lying parallel to and one hundred feet (100') from OHWM at a height of either thirty five feet (35') or one half (1/2) the maximum height allowed in the underlying zone, whichever is greater; and ii. Have an upward, landward transition at a slope of one vertical to one horizontal from the beginning height either (a) until the line at which the maximum height allowed in the underlying zoning in chapter 4-2 RMC is reached (from which line the height envelope shall extend landward at the maximum height allowed in the underlying zoning), or (b) to the end of shoreline jurisdiction, whichever comes first. Impervious area within the Buffer/Setback: 5% ., Staff Comment: The project would not result in an increase in impervious service area. Impervious area within 100 feet of the OHWM: 50% ., Staff Comment: The project would not result in an increase in impervious service area. 7. Use Regulations: a. Utilities Local utility services needed to serve water-dependent and other permitted uses in the ., shoreline are subject to standards for ecological protection and visual compatibility. Cit:y of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Cedar River Boeing South Bridge Pedestrian Lighting Project Shoreline Management Permit LUAlS-000040, SM DATE OF PERMIT: March 9, 2015 Page 8 of 11 New public or private utilities shall be located inland from the land/water interface, preferably out of shoreline jurisdiction, unless: (a) Perpendicular water crossings are unavoidable; or (b) Utilities are necessary for authorized shoreline uses consistent with the Shoreline Master Program. ,/ Staff Comment: The prapased salar panels are affiliated with an existing bridge. Necessary Access is exempt from setback standards of the SMP. The proposed solar panels are located on the existing bridge landward of the OHWM. The installation of the solar panels would not result in the removal of any trees and/or riparian vegetation. Because necessary access is exempt from setback standards the subject solar panels are permitted on the necessary access, as they are associated with such access. Linear facilities consisting of pipelines, cables and other facilities on land running roughly parallel to the shoreline shall be located as far from the water's edge as feasible and N/A preferably outside of shoreline jurisdiction Staff Comment: Solar panels are not linear facilities. Linear facilities consisting of pipelines, sewers, cables and other facilities on aquatic lands running roughly parallel to the shoreline that may require periodic maintenance that would disrupt shoreline ecological functions shall be discouraged except where no other feasible alternative exists. When permitted, provisions shall assure that the facilities do not result in a net loss of shoreline ecological functions or significant impacts to other shoreline ,/ resources and values. Staff Comment: The proposed solar panels are powered by battery packs and would be located on the South Boeing Bridge. If maintenance is required for such panels or the associated pedestrian lighting, there would be no impacts to the existing riparian habitat, as all maintenance work would occur from the existing bridge. See discussion above related to no net loss of shoreline ecological functions, under subsection B. l No Net Lot Required. Utilities shall be located in existing rights-of-way and corridors, whenever reasonably ,/ feasible. Local service utilities serving new development shall be located underground, wherever reasonably feasible. ,/ Staff Comment: Solar panels cannot be located underground as they need access to solar energy ta function. Utility crossings of water bodies shall be attached to bridges or located in other existing facilities, if reasonably feasible.

DATED at Renton, Wa,h1ncton, this ,,.,.,. day or July, 1956, Attest: -15:iY;,e"'>·--,,.......~ __ City Clerk 'l'HR CITY OF' RENTON, a mWl1o1p~l eorporation cf the State or Washington "~q__0ffu-' Mayor -4- i I I CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION DESCRIPTION Boeing Commercial Airplane Group Renton, WA North Cedar River Bridge Repairs Proposed Construction Dates & Times: In conformance with federal and state regulations, the proposed construction schedule will begin on approximately April 2014 and complete on or prior to July.2014. The work will be accomplished during daylight hours, typically starting at 6:30AM and completing at 4:00PM, Monday through Friday. No late night hours are proposed for construction. Potential weekend hours may be required. Construction Description & Work Plan: The scope of the proposed construction includes: Place light-emitting diode (LED) lamps along entire footpath on the Bridge Install two 3-feet by 5-foot solar panels on the Bridge Boeing's proposed lighting installation is being conducted to improve safety at the facility for Boeing employees and contractors who must work at night. The proposed plan will install a 200-foot-long, 24-volt, 250-watt LED amber-hued rope Lighting across the entire length of the bridge along the footpath on the south side of the bridge Construction Mitigation Measures & Best Practices: All activities will begin with the implementation Safety work plan Contractors will have high visibility vests and floation vests while All storm water drain inlets in and around the proposed construction operations and staging areas will be surrounded by oil absorbent padding to mitigate the potential of any hydraulic/fuel leakages emanating from construction machinery entering the watershed. • Spill kits, that include absorbent pads and spill booms, will be provided near the site. • All demolished materials and debris will be stockpiled in a lined waste container on site to prevent dust and sedimentation from migrating onto roadways. Additionally, the bridge deck and approach structures will frequently be cleared of dust and debris by Boeing operated sweeper vehicles. • Contractor vehicles that are transporting materials to and from the site will be required to have tires washed prior to leaving the site. This will prevent dust and sedimentation from entering nearby roadways. Proposed Hauling & Transportation Routes: The proposed hauling and transportation routes, along with construction staging areas are noted on the aerial map attached in Figure 1. Preliminary Traffic Control Plan: In order to alleviate traffic congestion on public roadways, all equipment and debris storage will be staged at the construction site throughout the duration of operations. Additional traffic control measures will be instituted as follows: • Non-motorized traffic that will be traveling under the main span of the North Cedar River Bridge will not be impacted as a result of the proposed operations beneath the East approach. A flagger and/or signage will be provided during construction operations to direct vehicular traffic entering the construction site and direct non-motorized watercraft traveling beneath the bridge span. • No cranes will be used during construction operations that impede the glide path of aircraft entering and/or leaving Renton Airport. As such, FAA notification would not be required. • All elevated construction machinery that is used and staged at the jobsite will be demarked with a safety flag/strobe at its highest point. t I I f i I I ' I -- L , / / // ,wm,l>""O~ «Sl'T-·--·~ r m . -,-//~iii//-· f~~r- S DE VIEW ' ·,_"'"'""" ---'"""""'""""" ,O:OC'.,_,, ... ....,,.

Our only request is that this project shield the new lights or otherwise insure that the light projection is strictly downwards, and consider using motion sensors to limit the amount of time they are activated. In the near term, there is a need to take action to reduce very high levels of artificial light along the lower Cedar River and south Lake Washington.

No vegetation to be disturbed along the bank No views will be obstructed by the proposed project No in-water work Project narrative The Boeing Company proposes to conduct maintenance activities on its South Aircraft Bridge located in Renton, Washington, on the lower Cedar River The project site extends across the length of the bridge approximately 200 feet between the east and west banks of the river. The proposed project consists of the following elements: Place light-emitting diode (LED) lamps along entire footpath on the Bridge Install two 3-feet by 5-foot solar panels on the Bridge Boeing's proposed lighting installation is being conducted to improve safety at the facility for Boeing employees and contractors who must work at night. The proposed plan will install a 200-foot-long, 24-volt, 250-watt LED amber-hued rope Lighting across the entire length of the bridge along the footpath on the south side of the bridge The proposed lights (587 nanometer wavelength) will have a luminous flux of 14. 9 Lu mens per foot and the 200 linear feet of lighting will only add a total of 2,980 lumens to. the bridge walkway (equivalent to one 4-foot fluorescent tube, but amber instead. of white). The lights will be mounted on the bridge curb only 9 inches off the ground with lighting directed horizontally across the walkway. ·: ,: ~--. \ \:. The use of LED amber-hued lighting and its placement at near deck level, w!II, r,f (<'i:.N'(O'i'l :~re,k ' .... ~~-Gol'J\S\\JN ?LANN\l,i prevent errant light from illuminating the underlying Cedar River The bridge deck is constructed of solid concrete rather than grating, so there are no gaps in the bridge deck through which light can reach the underlying river. Lights will be powered by a stand-alone system of two 3-foot x 5-foot solar panels and battery storage units. The solar panels will be mounted on the south side of the bridge structure, one on the east end and one on the west end, landward of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) No construction activities will occur and no structures will be placed below the OHWM. The proposed use of LED lighting is also expected to be more environmentally sustainable, substantially decreasing energy consumption when compared to other types of lighting such as incandescent, halogen, and mercury vapor.
