PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether
the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to
determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address
the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic
information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the
best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant
for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain
why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate
by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often
avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposaleven if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the
existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts.
The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead
agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting
documents.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROIECT PROPOSALS: For nonproject proposals (such as
ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B
plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECTACTIONS (part D).
Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant,"
and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic

11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of
the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to
describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this
page. (lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on
project description.)
The existing developed site is a 9.61 acre Industrial parcel (242304-9008) with an existing concrete
tilt -up warehouse building erected in the 1950's that was most recently used by Graphic
Packaging. The development intent of the property is to demolish in entirety the existing 143,862
SF warehouse building and small shop building. Redevelopment of the site would involve
reconfiguring the building footprint to increase functionality, clear height and floor area as well as
all new site utility infrastructure. The proposed building would be a 32' interior clear height tilt -up
warehouse with an approximate footprint of 161,320 SF. The site and building site would be
designed to implement a 4 foot deep truck well along the east dock face of the building. Paved
vehicle parking throughout the site will be provided to meet required stall quantities by use and
trailer stalls will be added in the truck dock operations area. The completed building effort would
create a speculative warehouse shell and would in the future permit for tenant Improvements of
specific lease users.
The site has been assigned Cleanup Site ID 11481 by the Department of Ecology for limited areas
of soil and groundwater contamination from a former oil water separator and former waste
collection vaults located west of the existing building. The subgrade features have been removed,
contaminated soil was excavated and transported off-site for disposal in 1993 and 2015,
and groundwater monitoring was begun in the 1990s. An additional area of soil and groundwater
contamination was Identified and delineated on the north side of the building in 2017. Following
proposed building demolition and decommissioning of an existing monitoring well, soil and
groundwater in this area will be removed and transported offsite for disposal. The excavation will
be confirmed clean and backfilled prior to building construction. Additional monitoring wells will
installed and monitored with existing monitoring wells following construction. These cleanup
actions will be performed as independent Remedial Actions In accordance with the Department of
Ecology's Voluntary Cleanup Program. A pre -application meeting has been held with the
Department of Ecology regarding this scope of work (Ecology contact Louise Bardy,
lbar461@ecy.wa.gov ).
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site:
(check or circle one): Fiat, rolling, hilly, steep__slopes, mountainous, other
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? A majority of the site
is relatively flat but sits lower than the adjacent south parcel and right-of-way to the east.
Adjacent property grades fall onto the project site from slight slopes to as great as 40%. No
development is proposed within these steep slope areas.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any
agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in
removing any of these soils.
Please refer to geotechnical report included in this submittal.
Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
To our knowledge, there is no history of unstable soils although the city has mapped the south
property line as sensitive and protected slopes. These slopes are heavily vegetated which will
remain as there is no development of these areas proposed.

d. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area
of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
It is expected there will be minor excavation or filling during the redevelopment of this site.
The exact quantities are not known at this time. This fill material would come from local
suppliers in this area.
There will also be some minor excavation of contaminated soil and associated clean
overburden which is expected to be limited to an area of approximately 7,500 square feet,
and a maximum depth of 15 feet. This excavation will remove approximately 3,000 cubic
yards. Approximately 2,000 cubic yards of the excavated Soil will be transported offsite for
disposal, and approximately 1,000 cubic yards will not be considered contaminated and is
expected to remain onsite and be suitable for reuse as backfill. It is expected that
approximately 2,000 to 3,000 cubic yards of common borrow and quarry spalls will be
imported for backfill of the excavation. Refer to an attached Site Plan showing this
information.
e. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes, erosion could occur due to clearing and construction. However, the implementation of a
temporary sediment and erosion control plan using Best Management Practices should
mitigate impact.
f. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
The site will be approximately 80% impervious inclusive of the building footprints.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth,
if any:
The proposal will follow storm water management design criteria required by the City of
Renton and erosion and sediment control plans will be developed in accordance with
standards referenced by City of Renton. These measures include stockpile covering, catch
basin protection, silt fence, sediment traps, construction exit and temporary construction
runoff storage facilities. Best management practices will include decontamination of
excavation and water storage equipment used in the cleanup of contaminated soil and water.
2. AIR

No, the project is not within the 100 -year floodplain.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so,
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
The project will continue to discharge stormwater to the "Regional Detention Facility Pump
Station" where it currently flows to. Selected water from impervious surfaces subject to
vehicle traffic will be treated first by an oil/water separator with coalescing plate and then a
water quality filter facility before flowing to the noted regional facility noted above. No
discharge of waste material to surface water is expected.
b. Ground Water:
1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If
so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities
withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No groundwater will be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes.
Approximately 60,000 gallons of groundwater are expected to be withdrawn from the
excavation during the removal of contaminated soil. The purpose of groundwater recovery is
to remove contamination for offsite disposal. Groundwater will be treated as contaminated,
containerized, and transported to a permitted treatment, storage and disposal facility or
discharged under permit. No water will be discharged into the ground water.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
No waste material will be discharged into the ground. The site will be connected to an
existing sanitary sewer in the roadway at the north-northwest of the site.
c. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow?
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Storm water runoff will be created from roofs and pavement areas. A storm drainage system
will be prepared per City of Renton requirements. It will be collected in catch basins,

7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk
of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could occur as a result of this
proposal? If so, describe.
There are low concentrations of toxic chemicals in soil and groundwater that will be removed.
The chemicals include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), petroleum hydrocarbons, and
related chemicals. There is no risk of fire or explosion from these chemicals, because they are
present in wet soil and water, generally non-flammable in nature, and at insufficient
concentrations to cause fire or explosion hazards. The chemicals are present at Insufficient
concentrations to designate as hazardous waste. There is a small risk of potential spill of
contaminated soil or groundwater during excavation, storage, and transportation.
1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses.
Soil and groundwater were previously contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and VOCs
from past site usage in two areas. On the west of the existing building, organic wastes leaking
from former underground storage vaults and a former oil/water separator were discovered in
the 1990s, subsequently removed along with contaminated soil, and groundwater monitoring
wells were installed. Residual contamination may remain in this area that is being monitored
and does not affect the redevelopment project. On the north side of the existing building, low
level VOCs were detected in soil and groundwater, and petroleum hydrocarbons were detected
In groundwater, in 2017. This contamination will be removed as part of this project, and
monitoring wells will be installed.
2} Describe existing hazardous chemicals/conditions that might affect project development
and design. This includes underground hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines
located within the project area and in the vicinity.
As described above, there are low level VOCs and petroleum hydrocarbons In soil and
groundwater on the north side of the existing building that will be removed as part of the
10

COR 20180206 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016
project, prior to construction of the new structure. The excavation of this area and
management of contaminated materials will be included in the project design.
3) Describe any toxic or hazardous chemicals that might be stored, used, or produced
during the project's development or construction, or at any time during the operating
life of the project.
There are no known toxic or hazardous chemicals that might be stored, used, or produced
during the project's development or construction, or at any time during the operating life of
the project.
4) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
No special emergency services will be required other than police and fire protection that
already exists.
5) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Potential exposures from inhalation or Ingestion of toxic chemicals in soil or groundwater
during excavation activities are highly preventable and will be managed using a site-specific
health and safety plan, personal protective equipment, and other measures as appropriate.
All remediation work will be performed by HAZWOPER-certified contractors. Risk of potential
spill of contaminated soil or groundwater will be managed using standard spill prevention and
countermeasure procedures, including on-site spill response kits.
Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example:
traffic, equipment, operation, other)?
