ditches, catch basins, manholes, outfalls, pipes and culverts. These facilities are located in the
Cedar River, Springbrook Creek, May Creek and Lake Washington. The purpose of the
Citywide maintenance program is to maintain existing drainage facilities in order to ensure
their optimum performance, by protecting the facilities against accumulation of debris,
sediment and vegetation. Ongoing maintenance is needed to preserve or restore the original
function of the existing drainage facilities so the balanced use of the water resource
continues as intended. Maintenance tasks include cleaning the facilities to maintain
structural integrity, flush or vactor - pipes manholes etc..., control vegetation, remove debris

from the existing right-of-way or easements dedicated to the City. No new access drives or
roads would be required to be built as a part of any maintenance activities. Vegetation
removal of grasses and shrubs may be necessary either for access purposes or because the
vegetation is within the working area. The applicant proposes to keep vegetation removal to
a minimum and has indicated that all native vegetation disturbed outside of work/access
areas would be restored to pre -project conditions upon completion of maintenance activity.
The City of Renton's Surface Water Utility has proposed to utilize the Regional Road
Maintenance Endangered Species Act Program Guidelines to select and implement
appropriate Best Management Practices to minimize the disruption to the natural
environment. In addition, all applicable State and Federal requirements associated with the
Clean Water Act (CWA) and Appendix D of the 2009 Surface Water Design Manual would be
met through planning, application, and monitoring of Best Management Practices (BMP's).
All maintenance activities would comply with provisions to be imposed by the Washington
State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) through the Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)
permit.
An exemption from a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit is hereby granted
on the proposed project in accordance with RMC 4-9-190C and/or for the following reason(s):
Normal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including
damage by accident, fire or elements.
a. Normal maintenance includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse,
or cessation from a lawfully established condition.
b. Normal repair means to restore a development to a state comparable to its
original condition, including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration,
location and external appearance, within a reasonable period after decay or
partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects
to the shoreline resource or environment.
