ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
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 proposal, even 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 NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: [help] For nonproject proposals (such as
ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B
plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (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

A discussion about helicopter noise and helipad light emissions will be incorporated in the
conditional use permit application.
This proposal is for a private-use helipad that will, if approved, be located on top of a
structure that is currently under construction. A number of approvals by the City of Renton
will be necessary for the underlying structure to be authorized for occupancy.
This proposal will require a conditional use permit issued by the City of Renton.
This proposal is to activate and use a helicopter operating area (helipad) on the south side
of the roof of Tower 2, the center tower of a three-tower office complex. The helipad, if
approved, will be used by one or more tenants of the complex with a primary tenant
having overall responsibility. Uses will be for the furtherance of business interests of a
tenant or tenants. The landing area will made of concrete and will be 30' by 30' in size.
location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township,

B.ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS [help]
1.EARTH
a.General description of the site [help]
(check or circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________
b.What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? [help]
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. [help]
d.Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe. [help]
e.Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area
of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. [help]
f.Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
[help]
The overall site is flat. This proposed use is on top of a structure that is currently being
built.
Not applicable since this proposal is for a use on top of a structure.
Not applicable since this proposal is for a use on top of a structure. Soils investigations and reports
were prepared for the underlying structure (Tower 2) and its associated towers.
Unknown although soils would have been thoroughly investigated and reported about
in order to obtain construction/development permits for the overall site that contains
all three office towers.
No excavation or grading will be necessary to activate this proposed use.
No, as clearing of soils or vegetation is not required.

H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\envchecklist.doc Rev: 08/2016
g.About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? [help]
h.Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth,
if any: [help]
2.AIR [help]
a.What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction,
operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and
give approximate quantities if known. [help]
b.Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe. [help]
c.Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: [help]
3.WATER [help]
a.Surface Water:
The concrete helipad will be 900 Square Feet in Size. It will be connected to an elevator
and stairway by a concrete or paver surface. Since the entire roof of Tower 2 will be
impervious this project will not create additional impervious surfaces.
Erosion will not be created by this project. No impacts to earth are associated with
this project.
No emissions to air would be created by activities necessary to prepare the helipad for use.
Those activities would be limited to installation of helipad lights and signs. During use,
emissions would be created by operation of helicopter turbine engines. Quantities of
turbine engine emissions depend on flight frequency. Turbine emissions over a year would
be very small as compared to emissions from aircraft jet engines.
No. There are no off-site sources of emissions or odors that would be related to this use.
Modern helicopters are able to reduce both noise and emissions by shutting down engines
and rotor systems within approximately 30 seconds after landing. As a condition of use
Seco Development will require helicopter pilots to limit engine running times while on the
helipad to the minimum consistent with sound operational policies and engine
manufacturer recommendations.

H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\envchecklist.doc Rev: 08/2016
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)? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. [help]
2)Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the
described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. [help]
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. [help]
6)Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so,
Yes. Lake Washington is approximately 650 feet northwest of the proposed use. The Cedar
River runs south to north, the closest part of which is approximately 3,000 west of
this proposed use.
No work will be required within 200 feet of waters identified in 1) above.
No fill or dredge material will be placed or removed from surface water or wetlands
to activate this use.
4)Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. [help]
No surface water withdrawals or diversions will be required to activate or use this
proposed helipad.
5)Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site
plan. [help]
No
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. [help]No waste materials will be discharged into surface waters during preparation or use of this
helipad. It should be noted that up until about 1975 some corporate helicopters used gas
engines that sometimes leaked small amounts of fluids. Modern turbine helicopters such as
those that will use this helipad do not leak fluids. To support this statement, the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) eliminated the requirement for oil-water separators at
rooftop helipads in the early 1990s.

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. [help]
2)Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
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. [help]
No groundwater will be withdrawn from a well during preparation or use of this
helipad.
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. [help]
No waste materials will be discharged during preparation or use of this helipad
Rainwater runoff is expected from the helipad and associated pathway. However,
that rainwater runoff would occur without the helipad's existence.
2)Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe. [help]
If the term "waste materials" includes fuel or fluids that would be used in helicopters
it is remotely possible that a spill could occur. The likelihood of a spill of any fluids is
extremely remote as neither fueling or maintenance will occur at this helipad. Please
note the comment in item 6 above regarding NFPA actions regarding runoff.
3)Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of
the site? If so, describe. [help]No.

No energy except electricity will be used for operation of this helipad. It is anticipated
that fewer than 4 amps of power will be necessary to operate all electrical fixtures.
Electrical fixtures will only be active during landings/takeoffs and loading/unloading
procedures.
No.
All electrical fixtures used at this helipad will use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) Good
helipad design dictates the use of low-light LED fixtures to help pilots maintain adequate
night vision.
There are no health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, that would occur
as a result of normal operation of this helipad. Should an accident occur at the
rooftop it is possible that a fire would occur. All fire code requirements will be
complied with.

short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)?
Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. [help]
3)Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: [help]
8.LAND AND SHORELINE USE [help]
a.What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? Will the proposal affect
current land uses on nearby or adjacent properties? If so, describe. [help]
No hazardous chemicals will be stored, used or produced during preparation or
use of the helipad.
No special emergency services will be required for preparation or use of this
helipad. It is anticipated that the Renton Fire Department will be provided
with a tour of the helipad and associated equipment.
There are no environmental health hazards associated with preparation or use of this
helipad.
Tower 2 of the associated office complex is west of Interstate 405 and east of Renton
Municipal Airport. While exact noise levels are not known it is logically assumed that
they are relatively high both as a result of constant I-405 traffic and sporadic flight
operations conducted to and from the airport.
Vehicular traffic is not expected to increase as a result of this proposal. Construction
during preparation of this helipad will not create high levels of noise as it will be
associated with installation of electrical equipment and signs. Helicopter noise
during landings, takeoffs, start-up and cool-down periods is expected.
Helicopter operators will be required to limit engine and rotor-system running times
to the minimum necessary for safe operations and consistency with helicopter and
engine manufacturer recommendations.
This proposal will not affect adjacent land uses which consist of an office complex .

h.Has any part of the site been classified as a critical area by the city or county? If so,
specify. [help]
Historical use of the site is unknown. No farmland or forest land will be converted as a
result of this use.
No affect on surrounding working farm or forest lands would be created by this use.
The structure on which this use would occur is Tower 2 of a three-tower, multi-use
complex. Tower 2 consists of 9 floors and approximately 260,000 gross square feet
(GSF).
No structures will be demolished during preparation or use of this helipad.
The zoning designation is Urban Center (UC) and Urban Design District C.
The comprehensive plan designation for this site is Commercial Mixed Use (CMU).
