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: 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 2 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 area," respectively.

TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH a. General description of the site: EVALUATION FOR AGENCY USE ONLY 4 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 (check or circle one): Flat, 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. No excavation or filling is expected for this phase of the project. e. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Yes, erosion could occur due to the building demolition from concentrated stormwater leaving the site. 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)? Under existing conditions there is about 60% of the site covered with impervious surfaces inclusive of the existing building; this would be the same after this phase of the project. 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 5 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 standards referenced by City of Renton. These measures include catch basin protection, silt fencing, construction access and temporary runoff collection. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction, operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Demolition and construction activities could cause dust at the site. Construction vehicles and equipment may cause exhaust emissions. Efforts will be made to regulate emissions to the air. After the project is complete, air quality will return to previous condition. Are there any off–site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. To our knowledge, there are no offsite sources of emissions or odors that will affect the proposal. b. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: The contractor will follow Best Management Practices during demolition of the proposed project. Vehicles not in use will be shut off and materials stored on site will be enclosed or covered when not in use. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. There is an existing “Regional Detention Facility Pump Station pond” which is approximately 220-feet to the west of the subject building to be demolished. 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. No. 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. Does not apply. 6 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. None. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. 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. 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. 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 is connected to an existing sanitary sewer in the roadway at the north-northwest of the site. This sanitary service will be capped prior to demolition of the building. 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. Generally stormwater runoff will be created after the roof is removed exposing the existing concrete floor areas. The existing catch basins around the site which collect the majority of the site’s stormwater will continue to be used with catch basin filters installed in them. Silt 7 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 fencing will be installed along the west side of the site (low side) to manage stormwater along this side of the site. An on-site CESCL manager will monitor the stormwater facilities and add other systems based on conditions. All released stormwater will be conveyed directly to the existing “Regional Detention Facility Pump Station” which is where the current stormwater is flowing to. Any stormwater management system will be prepared per City of Renton requirements. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No waste material is expected to enter the ground or surface waters. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. No d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: This proposal does not change the existing drainage patterns. The previously noted proposed measures are for the management of water quality. The proposal will be to continue to use the existing Regional Detention Facility Pump Station, which manages stormwater quantity for this and the surrounding properties. The site is underlain by fill material which eliminates infiltration on this site. 4. PLANTS a.

What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: No energy conservation features are proposed for this phase of the project. 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. The demolition of the existing buildings under this phase of the project could include exposure to toxic chemicals risk of fire and spills or hazardous waste. Prior to demolition; the building will be inspected and any hazardous materials will be removed per a remediation plan. 1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses. 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 this proposed building demolition phase and during the site development and building construction phase, decommissioning of an existing monitoring well, soil and groundwater in this area will be removed and transported offsite for disposal. 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. See noted 7.1 and 7.2 above. 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. 10 P:\2017\17-045 DCT Monster Road\Agency & Code\Submittals\20180521_Demo SEPA\SAVE\17-045 DEMO SEPA-Application COR_20180521 Final.doc Rev: 08/2016 There are no known toxic or hazardous chemicals that might be stored, used, or produced during this phase of the project or 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 demolition 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)? There is light traffic noise from nearby Interstate 5 and State Route 405 and a rock recycling facility but none of these should be of adverse effect the proposed project. 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. In the Short term, demolition noises will affect the area during the daytime hours from 7am- 7pm. 3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: The proposed measures to reduce or control the noise impacts will be to limit the hours of operation during the demolition and all phases of the project.
