RENTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT TAXIWAY A
REHABILITATION AND ASSOCIATED
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Lake Study and Habitat Data Report
1.0 Introduction
The City of Renton (City) is proposing a Taxiway A and Associated Improvements project (project) at the
Renton Municipal Airport (Airport) in Renton, Washington (Figure 1). The Airport is adjacent to Lake
Washington to the north and the Cedar River to the east. Both are considered to be Shorelines of the State
with Shoreline Environmental Designations of High Intensity. The project is a maintenance project;
therefore, the City is applying for a Shoreline Permit Exemption. As part of the application, the Renton
Municipal Code (RMC) requires a Standard Lake Study and a Habitat Data Report to document existing
conditions and describe measures to be taken to protect shoreline resources. Environmental Science
Associates (ESA) was contracted by the Airport to prepare this Lake Study and Habitat Data Report to
provide a description of the environmental and habitat attributes in the project area, as well as ecological
functions that may be impacted by the project. Portions of the project will occur within the 200-foot
shoreline jurisdiction of Lake Washington, which is the focus of this report. However, all work will be
outside of the 200-foot shoreline jurisdiction of the Cedar River (Figure 2). Therefore, the Cedar River is
not included in this assessment.
2.0 Project Description
The project includes rehabilitation and associated improvements along Taxiway A, taxiway connectors A1–
A7, Apron Service Road, and the Seaplane Ramp. The project also includes removal and replacement of an
underground fire waterline running north-south along Taxiway A and drainage improvements to the infield.
The project will be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 consists of the rehabilitation work starting at the
north end of Taxiway A (A1 connector to runway) and extending south to just north of Taxiway A6 and will
be constructed spring–fall 2025. Phase 2 consists of rehabilitation work on Taxiway A from Taxiway A6 to
Taxiway A7 and will be constructed spring–fall 2026 (Appendix A).
The project will include the following elements:
•Rehabilitation of the existing Taxiway A, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7 pavements.
•Rehabilitation of the existing apron service road pavement to the west of Taxiway A.
•Rehabilitation of the existing Seaplane Ramp pavement to the north of Taxiway A.

(Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000).
Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of this report provide the narratives for the Standard Lake Study and Habitat Data
Report, respectively.
4.0 Standard Lake Study Narrative
This section presents the Standard Lake Study narrative, providing information about existing habitat
conditions and functions of Lake Washington adjacent to the project area. The project area is defined as
those areas of proposed improvements detailed in Section 2.0 within the 200-foot shoreline zone adjacent
to Lake Washington (see Figure 1).
4.1 Stream and Lake Classification
Lake Washington is classified as a Shoreline of Statewide Significance (Type S) per RMC 4-3-090 and is
regulated under Renton’s Shoreline Master Program regulations.
4.2 Vegetative Cover
ESA biologists Gracie Allen and Jessica Redman conducted a site visit on March 21, 2024, to assess
vegetative cover along the Lake Washington shoreline adjacent to and within 200 feet of the project area.
Appendix B provides a photographic log depicting habitat conditions and vegetation along the riparian
zone of Lake Washington adjacent to the project area.
The project area is within the existing built environment of the Airport and consists primarily of paved
concrete and asphalt surfaces adjacent to grass infields. West of the Seaplane Ramp within 100 feet of the
project area, Lake Washington contains no riparian zone or vegetated shoreline. This area is devoid of any
vegetation and is entirely concrete surfaces supporting pedestrian access to seaplane mooring docks
(Photos 1, 2, and 3). The riparian zone to the east of the Seaplane Ramp within 100 feet of the project area
comprises a relatively narrow (approximately 20-foot-wide or less) vegetated band consisting of shrubs
and grass/herbaceous groundcover. This area abuts graded grass infield surfaces to the south and is mixed
with fill material and broken concrete (Photos 4 and 5). Vegetation within the riparian zone consists

primarily of invasive species including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), reed canarygrass
(Phalaris arundinacea), English ivy (Hedera helix), butterfly-bush (Buddleja davidii), and English holly
(Ilex sp.) (Photos 6, 7, 8, and 9). Other vegetation associated with this area includes herbaceous weedy
groundcover (e.g., clover [Trifolium sp.], plantain [Plantago sp.], dandelion [Taraxacum sp.] species) and
grasses. No trees are located on the Lake Washington shoreline within 100 feet of the project area.
4.3 Ecological Function
Lake Washington is a naturally occurring ribbon lake excavated by glaciers near the end of the Late
Pleistocene. It is surrounded by cities, most notably Seattle, Kenmore, Kirkland, Bellevue, and Renton.
Prior to development, the project area existed as a floodplain for the Cedar River and Black River at the
southern extent of the lake. Historically, Lake Washington drained to the south through the Black River.
Prior to 1916, Lake Washington extended approximately as far south as the current Taxiway A5
(GeoSciences Inc. 2023). Here the lake flowed into the mouth of the Black River, which continued to
flow south until it met the Cedar River at approximately what is now the southern end of Taxiway A. In
1916, a canal was completed that connected Lake Washington and Portage Bay (Lake Union), resulting in
the lowering of Lake Washington water levels by approximately 9 feet (City of Seattle 2024). The levels
of both Lake Washington and Lake Union would become controlled by the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks,
also known as the Ballard Locks. During the same period of land modification, the Cedar River was
rerouted to flow into Lake Washington to prevent flooding in the City of Renton. This activity severed
Lake Washington’s outflow to the Black River, as well as the Cedar River’s flow into the Black River. As
the Black River dried, fill soils were placed in the historic river channel, nearby wetlands, and the local
floodplain to create usable land for development (GeoSciences Inc. 2023).
Because of the extensive development and disturbance of the riparian zone along Lake Washington
adjacent to and within 100 feet of the project area, the primary ecological functions now provided are
minimal. Primary ecological functions provided by the limited riparian vegetation along Lake
Washington within 100 feet of the project area include:
•Limited nesting and foraging habitat for birds and small mammals.
•Input of terrestrial insects from overhanging vegetation.
•Input of allochthonous organic matter (via leaf fall).
•Limited erosion control.
•Limited habitat complexity.
4.4 Fish and Wildlife
This section addresses fish and wildlife species that were observed during the site visit or expected to use
Lake Washington and/or its riparian zone in the vicinity of the project area.
4.4.1 Mammals
No mammals were observed directly during the site visit. However, small excavations, likely made by
squirrels (Sciurus spp.), were observed. Given the level of development and paved surface area in the
project area, it is likely that only small mammals adapted to disturbed and developed environments such

4.0 Standard Lake Study Narrative

as mice (Peromyscus spp.), rats (Rattus spp.), voles (Microtus spp.), moles (Scapanus orarius), raccoons
(Procyon lotor), opossums (Didelphis virginiana), and muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) use the riparian
areas along Lake Washington’s shoreline adjacent to and within 100 feet of the project area. Nutria
(Myocastor coypus), an invasive semi-aquatic rodent, is known to inhabit Lake Washington in the vicinity
of the project area (WSLPA 2011).
4.4.2 Birds
Twenty different bird species were observed during the site visit, mostly waterfowl species including
mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), bufflehead (Bucephala albeola), Canada goose (Branta canadensis), and
common merganser (Mergus merganser). Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), a species protected by
the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), was also observed during the site visit. Documented
observations by birders in eBird (an online database of bird observations maintained by the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology) report 187 bird species in the project vicinity (eBird 2024). Most of these birds are
common to the Puget lowlands and are expected to forage or nest in the project vicinity.
4.4.3 Amphibians and Reptiles
No amphibians or reptiles were observed during the site visit; however, it is likely that amphibian (e.g.,
frogs, salamanders, newts, and toads) and reptile species (e.g., turtles and garter snakes [Thamnophis
spp.]) found in the Lake Washington basin may use the areas within the project vicinity.
4.4.4 Fish
No fish were observed in Lake Washington adjacent to the project area during the site visit. The Lake
Washington system, including the Cedar River adjacent to the project area, hosts many fish species,
including five salmonid species: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch),
sockeye/kokanee salmon (O. nerka), coastal cutthroat trout (O. clarkii), and steelhead/rainbow trout (O.
mykiss) (NWIFC 2024). Additionally, Lake Washington is mapped as designated Critical Habitat for
coastal/Puget Sound bull trout/Dolly Varden (Salvelinus confluentus/S. malma). However, it is likely that
few bull trout currently occur in the lake, if they occur at all, due to the amount of previous and existing
anthropogenic disturbance (USFWS 2024; WDFW 2024a). Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound
steelhead, and bull trout are federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act.
Fish species native to the Lake Washington system include the northern pike minnow (Ptychocheilus
oregonensis), peamouth (Mylocheilus caurinus), sculpins (Cottus spp.), and longfin smelt (Spirinchus
thaleichthys) (Weitkamp et al., 2000; Wydoski and Whitney, 2003). Several non-native fish species have
been documented in the Lake Washington/ Lake Union system. Some of these species are known to prey
on salmon (e.g., northern pike [Esox lucius]) while others are potential competitors with juvenile
salmonids for food (Kerwin 2001; WDFW 2024b).
4.5 Measures to Protect Trees and Vegetation
The project will be confined entirely to the Airport property within the existing built environment and will
not occur in areas with existing trees or riparian vegetation. No direct or indirect impacts on riparian
vegetation or trees will occur as a result of the project; therefore, no measures to protect vegetation or
trees have been incorporated into the project design.

Renton Municipal Airport Taxiway A Rehabilitation 9 ESA / D202300538
and Associated Improvements Project April 2024
Lake Study and Habitat Data Report
4.6 No Net Loss of Ecological Function
Because the project will occur entirely within the built environment, the project will result in no net loss
of ecological function in the riparian zone of Lake Washington adjacent to and within 100 feet of the
project area. There will be no change in the area of impervious surfaces within the shoreline zone. The
ecological function provided by the site is expected to be the same pre- and post-construction.
5.0 Habitat Data Narrative
This section presents the Habitat Data Report narrative, providing information about existing habitat
conditions and functions of Lake Washington adjacent to the project area. For the Habitat Data Report
narrative, the project area is defined as the areas of proposed improvements detailed in Section 2.0 within
the 200-foot shoreline zone adjacent to Lake Washington.
5.1 Habitat Diversity
As described in Section 4.3 of this report, the shoreline of Lake Washington in the vicinity of the project
area has been heavily altered by development. Because of the extensive development along the shoreline
of Lake Washington in the project area, there is minimal habitat diversity. The only upland wildlife
habitat present within this area consists of limited herbaceous groundcover and a narrow width (less than
20 feet wide) of woody vegetation and shrubs to the east of the Seaplane Ramp (Appendix B, Photos 1,
9, and 12). Aquatic wildlife habitat consists of limited large woody debris that abuts the riparian zone to
the east of the Seaplane Ramp (Appendix B, Photos 10 and 11). The remainder of the area is primarily
asphalt and concrete surfaces with small, isolated patches of mowed grass infields that do not support
wildlife habitat.
5.2 Migration Corridors
According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Priority Habitats and Species
(PHS) program, no mammalian migration corridors exist within the vicinity of the project area. Lake
Washington is known to host several salmonid species that migrate through the Ballard Locks to Puget
Sound and include:
•Steelhead
•Sockeye salmon/kokanee
•Coastal cutthroat trout
•Chinook salmon
•Coho salmon
•Bull trout/Dolly Varden
Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, and bull trout are federally listed species protected
under the Endangered Species Act. Additionally. the project area is located within the Pacific Flyway, a
flight path for migratory birds. Numerous species of waterfowl and passerines use Lake Washington and
its riparian areas for foraging and/or nesting (eBird 2024).

5.0 Habitat Data Narrative
Renton Municipal Airport Taxiway A Rehabilitation 10 ESA / D202300538
and Associated Improvements Project April 2024
Lake Study and Habitat Data Report
5.3 Vegetation Cover Types and Associated Species
The absence of riparian vegetation along the western portion of the Lake Washington shoreline adjacent
to the project area, the relatively narrow and invasive species-dominated riparian area along the eastern
portion, and the highly developed nature of the shoreline within the study area as a whole severely limit
habitat availability and use by multiple plant and animal species. The vegetative cover types present
within the project area include herbaceous groundcover and woody shrubs (Appendix B, Photo 12).
Species that use these cover types typically include animals associated with disturbed environments such
as squirrels, rats, mice, moles, small birds, and amphibians.
Critical species occurring in the vicinity of the project area include those salmonids and migratory birds
identified in Section 4.4. Further, Lake Washington is identified as Critical Habitat for bull trout (USFWS
2024); however, as mentioned in Section 4.4.4. it is highly unlikely that bull trout use the Lake
Washington system due to the amount of anthropogenic disturbance that has occurred historically and
exists currently. No other critical habitat or plant or animal species of special concern are expected to
occur in the vicinity of the project area (WDFW 2023; USFWS 2024; WDNR 2024).
5.4 Disturbed Areas
The entire project area is disturbed. It is highly developed and covered in asphalt and/or concrete on top
of gravelly fill material. What vegetation does exist is either invasive species along the shoreline or
mowed grasses in the infield. The project area has supported airport operations for decades and as
described in Section 4.3 has been developed since the early 1900s.
5.5 Existing Habitat Values and Functions
ESA biologists Gracie Allen and Jessica Redman performed a visual-based habitat assessment of the
riparian zone of Lake Washington on March 21, 2024. Protocols for the visual-based habitat assessment
are identified in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Rapid Bioassessment Protocols for
Use in Wadeable Streams and Rivers (Barbour et al. 1999). Because of the extensive development and
disturbance of the riparian zone along Lake Washington, the area adjacent to and within the project area
provides only minimal ecological functions. Primary ecological functions provided by the limited riparian
vegetation along Lake Washington within the project area include:
•Limited nesting and foraging habitat for birds and small mammals.
•Input of terrestrial insects from overhanging vegetation.
•Input of allochthonous organic matter (via leaf fall).
•Limited erosion control.
•Limited habitat complexity.
The minimal ecological values and functions of the Lake Washington shoreline within the project area
were assessed during the habitat assessment and are due primarily to the lack of habitat complexity and
sparse riparian vegetation.

Lake Study and Habitat Data Report
5.6 Proposed Habitat Alterations
No alterations to habitat are proposed as part of the Airport project. All project work would occur in the
built environment. The project will not involve any in-water components or work below the ordinary high
water mark. What minimal habitat and ecological functions that currently exist on-site are expected to
remain post-construction. Additionally, the project will not impact state- or federally listed fish or wildlife
species, nor will it impact the Pacific Flyway migratory corridor. Temporary disturbance to infield grass
areas during construction will be reseeded, post-construction.
