PROPOSAL: The applicant, the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources, is proposing to remove approximately 123 derelict pilings, one steel
ball float, and one steel cylinder float that are located on state-owned acuatic lands
within the open harbor area of the eastern shores of Lake Washington within the
jurisdiction of the City of Renton.
Portions of the site area are part of the larger Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) cleanup that is on -going with the on -shore,
upland property known as Quendall Terminals. The CERCLA work is managed by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The pilings and floats are no longer used and are currently a potential navigational
hazard for boaters on Lake Washington.
Required work would be below the ordinary high water mark, within the harbor area.
The lake bottom at the project location consists of silty mud with areas of sandy
substrate. A portion of the lake bottom, within the removal area for 28 pilings, includes
sediments that have been indentified as containing Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(PAH). Twenty-one pilings, at the southern end of the project site, are situated in an
area littered with woodwaste.
Work would occur in accordance with allowed "fish windows" and bird nesting and
migration time frames, as determined by the Washington State Department of Fish and
Wildlife. These considerations require that work be completed by December 31, 2006.
Lake Washington Piling noval Shoreline Exemption
November 7, 2006
Page 2 of 3
The removal technique would be to remove the pilings with a vibratory hammer. A
temporary increase in localized emissions from the equipment used to remove the
pilings is expected. The vibrating hammer is mounted on a floating barge. A collar is
fastened around each piling individually and the piling would be pulled out of the lake
bottom while vibration occurs.
In order to displace the minimal amount of lake bottom material, pilings would be
removed as slowly as possible. To prevent suspension of sediments, the vibratory
hammer would be turned off once each piling was removed from the lake bottom.
Pilings would not be washed off with lake water. If pilings break during removal, a clam
shell bucket would be used to remove them from the lake bottom.
A Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan would be developed
with the contractor prior to the initiation of work. The SPCC Plan would outline
measures to be taken to prevent release or spread of discharged materials indlucing
those the contractor may store, use, or generate during construction activities. These
may include gasoline, oils, chemicals, and other potential items.
Removed pilings and debris associated with the removal would be placed on the barge
and disposed of off site.
Pilings located in or near the PAH contaminated sediments (points 4 and 31 of Map 1)
would be cut at the mudline of the lake bottom. Within potentially contaminated areas,
bottom sediments would be undisturbed and not sweep to locate additional pilings.
The steel ball and steel cylinder floats are located on the lake surface, but are anchored
to the bedland. They would be removed by extracting and lifting the anchors from the
bottom sediments or by cutting the chains and leaving the anchors in place.
The work described would occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday.
The estimated project cost is $35,000.
This project would improve the navigability of the Lake by removing potential hazards
and would enhance the nearshore, shallow -water environment, thereby providing a
benefit to migrating juvenile salmon.
Due to the designation of the waters of Lake Washington as a "critical area" within the
City of Renton, the proposed project was reviewed by the Environmental Review
Committee on October 9, 2006, receiving a Determination of Non -significance from that
body.
Although the City of Renton has determined that the project is exempt from Shoreline
Management Act requirements, it is subject to Hydraulic Permit Approval (Washington
State Department of Fish and Wildlife) and Section 10 Permit approval (U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers).

PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND, CONTINUED
Required work would be below the ordinary high water mark, within the harbor area. The lake bottom at the project

8. Mitigation Measures
There are no mitigation measures required for this project.
C. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether
the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in
conjunction with the proposed development_ Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have
the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The site of the proposed project consists of gently sloped aquatic lands, including freshwater
bedlands in the harbor area, below the Ordinary High Water Mark of Lake Washington. Lake Washington is a
Class 1 Inventoried Shoreline of the State and Critical Area subject to the City of Renton Critical Areas
Ordinance.
Under surface slopes are approximately 1.6 percent. The lake bottom sediment consists primarily of silty mud
with areas of sandy substrate. The southern portion of the removal area is littered with woodwaste.
Although the Seattle Fault, which runs under Mercer Island and through Lake Washington, is north of here
within fairly close proximity, there are no known unstable soils within the project area and it is not designated
as a known landslide area on Sensitive Areas Ordinance maps.
Although pilings would be removed, no filling or grading is proposed. Localized disturbance of the lake bottom
sediments would be temporary and not anticipated to be significant. Techniques to minimize disturbance have
been incorporated into the project, including cutting pilings rather than completely removing them and remove
the pilings slowly to reduce the amount of sediment that is displaced.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
2. Air
Impacts: It is anticipated that there would be a temporary increase in localized emissions from the equipment
that would be used to remove the pilings. Odor impacts during construction are unavoidable and would be
short-term in nature. The effects of these temporary emissions would be minimal. Equipment used would
meet King County, state, and federal emissions control requirements.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
3. Water
Impacts. The proposal is for in -water work within Lake Washington on state-owned aquatic lands. All work
would take place below the surface of the Lake, except for piling and debris removal from the area by barge.
Any debris that is associated with the removal would be picked up and placed on the barge.
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans would be developed with the selected
contractor. The SPCC Plan would outline measures to be taken to prevent release or spread of discharged

REPORT OF OCTOBER 9, 2006 Page 4 of 5
materials including those the contractor may store, use, or generate during the construction activities. These
items include, but are not limited to gasoline, oils, and chemicals.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
4. Vegetation
Impacts: There are no known threatened or endangered species of plants on the site. The primary
vegetation consists of milfoil.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
5. Wildlife
Impacts: Birds and fish that can be expected to frequent the project area include: hawk, heron, songbirds,
osprey, cormorant, domestic quail, bass, salmon, trout, smelt, stickleback, threespine, freshwater shrimp, pike
minnow, prickly sculpin, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, trench, and yellow perch.
Threatened or endangered species that may be in the vicinity of the project site include: sockeye salmon,
cutthroat trout, steelhead salmon, coho salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, bull trout, and bald eagle.
The project area is within the Pacific Flyway, a major north -south seasonal migration route for many bird
species. The site is also a migratory and rearing corridor for Chinook salmon and Lake Washington contains
the largest population of naturally occurring sockeye salmon in Washington State. Most spawning and fry
projection occur in the Cedar River, just south of the project site.
Piling removal may enhance the habitat of these species because at the present time pilings may provide
cover for predators of juvenile Chinook and coho salmon.
All in -water work would occur in accordance with allowed fish windows and bird nesting and migration
windows as determined by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The project is compatible with the Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation
Plan.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
6. Environmental Health
Impacts: The adjacent upland parcel was used for wood processing activities for many decades. Polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and woodwaste are located in a few areas of the harbor area due to these past
uses of the property. Approximately 21 of the pilings are located in an area that has been shown to have
woodwaste. Approximately 28 pilings are located in an area that has been shown to contain some PAH
contamination.
The 28 pilings in the PAH area would be cut at the lake bottom and the underground portion of the piling left in
place to reduce disturbance of lake bottom sediments. Cutting the pilings at the mudline will prevent
remobilization of buried PAHs.
The proposed activities would have short term noise associated with the piling removal equipment. Removal
of the pilings would occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday. No other unusual noise impacts are
expected to occur.
The proposed project would improve the navigability of Lake Washington in this area by removing submerged
obstructions.

LAKE WASHINGTON DERELICT P G REMOVAL LUA-06-114, ECF, SME
REPORT OF OCTOBER 9, 2006 Page 2 of 5
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND, CONTINUED
Required work would be below the ordinary high water mark, within the harbor area. The lake bottom at the project
location consists of silty mud with areas of sandy substrate. A portion of the lake bottom, within the removal area for
28 pilings, includes sediments that have been identified as containing Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).
Twenty-one pilings, at the southern end of the project site, are situated in an area littered with woodwaste.
Work would occur in accordance with allowed "fish windows" and bird nesting and migration time frames, as
determined by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. These considerations require that work be
completed by December 31, 2006.
The removal technique would be to remove the pilings with a vibratory hammer. A temporary increase in localized
emissions from the equipment used to remove the pilings is expected. The vibrating hammer is mounted on a floating
barge. A collar is fastened around each piling individually and the piling would be pulled out of the lake bottom while
vibration occurs.
In order to displace the minimal amount of lake bottom material, pilings would be removed as slowly as possible. To
prevent suspension of sediments, the vibratory hammer would be turned off once each piling was removed from the
lake bottom. Pilings would not be washed off with lake water. If pilings break during removal, a clam shell bucket
would be used to remove them from the lake bottom.
A Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan would be developed with the contractor prior to the
initiation of work. The SPCC Plan would outline measures to be taken to prevent release or spread of discharged
materials including those the contractor may store, use, or generate during construction activities. These may include
gasoline, oils, chemicals, and other potential items.
Removed pilings and debris associated with the removal would be placed on the barge and disposed of off site.
Pilings located in or near the PAH contaminated sediments (points 4 and 31 of Map 1) would be cut at the mudline of
the lake bottom. Within potentially contaminated areas, bottom sediments would be undisturbed and not sweep to
locate additional pilings.
The steel ball and steel cylinder floats are located on the lake surface, but are anchored to the bedland. They would
be removed by extracting and lifting the anchors from the bottom sediments or by cutting the chains and leaving the
anchors in place.
The work described would occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday.
The estimated project cost is $35,000.
This project would improve the navigability of the Lake by removing potential hazards and would enhance the
nearshore, shallow -water environment, thereby providing a benefit to migrating juvenile salmon.
Although the City of Renton has determined that the project is exempt from Shoreline Management Act requirements,
it is subject to Hydraulic Permit Approval (Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife) and Section 10 Permit
approval (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers).
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C.240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts
that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations_
A. Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials make

B. Mitigation Measures
There are no mitigation measures required for this project.
C. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether
the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in
conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have
the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The site of the proposed project consists of gently sloped aquatic lands, including freshwater
bedlands in the harbor area, below the Ordinary High Water Mark of Lake Washington. Lake Washington is a
Class 1 Inventoried Shoreline of the State and Critical Area subject to the City of Renton Critical Areas
Ordinance.
Under surface slopes are approximately 1.6 percent. The lake bottom sediment consists primarily of silty mud
with areas of sandy substrate. The southern portion of the removal area is littered with woodwaste.
Although the Seattle Fault, which runs under Mercer Island and through Lake Washington, is north of here
within fairly close proximity, there are no known unstable soils within the project area and it is not designated
as a known landslide area on Sensitive Areas Ordinance maps.
Although pilings would be removed, no filling or grading is proposed. Localized disturbance of the lake bottom
sediments would be temporary and not anticipated to be significant. Techniques to minimize disturbance have
been incorporated into the project, including cutting pilings rather than completely removing them and remove
the pilings slowly to reduce the amount of sediment that is displaced.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
2. Air
Impacts: It is anticipated that there would be a temporary increase in localized emissions from the equipment
that would be used to remove the pilings. Odor impacts during construction are unavoidable and would be
short-term in nature. The effects of these temporary emissions would be minimal. Equipment used would
meet King County, state, and federal emissions control requirements.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
3. Water
Impacts: The proposal is for in -water work within Lake Washington on state-owned aquatic lands. All work
would take place below the surface of the Lake, except for piling and debris removal from the area by barge.
Any debris that is associated with the removal would be picked up and placed on the barge.
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans would be developed with the selected
contractor. The SPCC Plan would outline measures to be taken to prevent release or spread of discharged

materials including those the contractor may store, use, or generate during the construction activities. These
items include, but are not limited to gasoline, oils, and chemicals.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
4. Vegetation
Impacts: There are no known threatened or endangered species of plants on the site. The primary
vegetation consists of milfoil.
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
S. Wildlife
Impacts: Birds and fish that can be expected to frequent the project area include: hawk, heron, songbirds,
osprey, cormorant, domestic quail, bass, salmon, trout, smelt, stickleback, threespine, freshwater shrimp, pike
minnow, prickly sculpin, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, trench, and yellow perch.
Threatened or endangered species that may be in the vicinity of the project site include: sockeye salmon,
cutthroat trout, steelhead salmon, coho salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, bull trout, and bald eagle.
The project area is within the Pacific Flyway, a major north -south seasonal migration route for many bird
species. The site is also a migratory and rearing corridor for Chinook salmon and Lake Washington contains
the largest population of naturally occurring sockeye salmon in Washington State. Most spawning and fry
projection occur in the Cedar River, just south of the project site.
Piling removal may enhance the habitat of these species because at the present time pilings may provide
cover for predators of juvenile Chinook and coho salmon.
All in -water work would occur in accordance with allowed fish windows and bird nesting and migration
windows as determined by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The project is compatible with the Water Resource Inventory Area (W RIA) 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation
Plan,
Mitigation Measures: None required
Nexus: Not applicable
6. Environmental Health
Impacts: The adjacent upland parcel was used for wood processing activities for many decades. Polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and woodwaste are located in a few areas of the harbor area due to these past
uses of the property. Approximately 21 of the pilings are located in an area that has been shown to have
woodwaste. Approximately 28 pilings are located in an area that has been shown to contain some PAH
contamination.
The 28 pilings in the PAH area would be cut at the lake bottom and the underground portion of the piling left in
place to reduce disturbance of lake bottom sediments. Cutting the pilings at the mudline will prevent
remobilization of buried PAHs.
The proposed activities would have short term noise associated with the piling removal equipment. Removal
of the pilings would occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday. No other unusual noise impacts are
expected to occur.
The proposed project would improve the navigability of Lake Washington in this area by removing submerged
obstructions.

Subject: Lake Washington Derelict Piling Removal Project
Dear Councilmember Corman:
DOUG SUTHERLAND
Commissioner of Public Lands
CITY OF HENTON
i�ECE[YEOL
U . LERK S EEfCE
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing to remove approximately 123 derelict
pilings from the Harbor Area of Lake Washington adjacent to the Quendall Terminals property.
These pilings have recently become a safety hazard to boaters on the lake. This occurred after the
restoration and removal of all of the piling located on the property just south, which were a part of
the old Barbee Mill Companies milling operations.
DNR Shoreline District receives capital funds of $100,000 per biennium to dedicate to the restoration
of aquatic lands. Due to the hazards these pilings pose and the environmental benefits of the
removal, DNR has made it a'priority to dedicate a portion of our restoration` funds to the removal of
the derelict pilings.
We have submitted all the requirements for Renton's environmental review in order for a
determination to be made on the project. I would like to request the City to waive the $1,000
environmental review fee for this project. Money for this fee will be coming from our meager
restoration fund, which will diminish the amount that will be used for actual on the ground
restoration of aquatic lands.
A waiver of the fee can act as a match towards the project, and the City of Renton will be recognized
as a partner in completing this beneficial project. This is an important project that must be completed
to protect the safety of the many boaters on Lake Washington. Thank you for your consideration.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
City of Renton Development Services Division
1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055
Phone; 425-430-7200 Fax; 425-430-7231
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the
quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the
agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be
done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most
precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,
you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need
to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write
"do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary
delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can
assist you.
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.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not
apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the
checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal,"
"proposer," and "affected geographic area." respectively.

DAMy Documenls\District Restoration Projectslgt pilings permit applicationslrenton sepa chlst.doc
11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the
project and site.
Washington State DNR is proposing to remove approximately 123 derelict pilings, one steel ball
float, and one steel cylinder float which are located on state-owned aquatic lands (SOAL) on the
eastern shores of Lake Washington, north of May Creek. See Map #1.
The pilings will be extracted using a vibratory hammer that is mounted on a barge. A collar will be
fastened around the pilings and will pull up the piling while vibrating it out of the sediment. Once
the pilings are pulled from the sediment the vibratory hammer will be turned off. The pilings will
be placed on the barge and disposed of off site. Pilings that break will be pulled out of the
sediment with a clam shell bucket. The contractor will be required to remove pilings slowly to
reduce the amount of sediment that is displaced during the extraction process. Piles will not be
washed off in the water. Any debris that is associated with the removal will be picked up and
placed on the barge.
Some areas within the project area are part of a larger CERCLA cleanup of the upland property
and lake sediments. Map #2 indicates the areas within the Harbor Area that will undergo future
cleanup of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (RAH) and woodwaste. Pilings that are located in
the Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) areas will be cut at the mud line. This includes
approximately 28 pilings located on the attached Map #1 at GPS points 4 and 31. The bottom
sediments will not be swept to search for underwater piles in known contaminated areas.
The steel ball and steel cylinder are floating on the lake and anchored to the bediand. These two
improvements will be removed by extracting or lifting their anchors from the sediments or cutting
the chain and leaving the anchor in place.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise
location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range if
known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s).
Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While
you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed
plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.
This site is located on the eastern shores of Lake Washington, north of the mouth of May Creek. It
is located in the W Y2 of the SW Y4 Section 29, Township 24N, Range 5E. This site is located on
state-owned aquatic land that is within the Harbor Area of Lake Washington. The parcel numbers
for this site include 2924059014 and 2924059013. The area proposed for piling and dolphin
removal can be seen on the attached Map #3. These dolphins and pilings are spread out in an

Project Narrative
Project Name: Lake Washington Derelict Piling Removal
Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing to
remove approximately 123 derelict pilings, one steel ball float, and one steel
cylinder float which are located on state-owned aquatic lands (SOAL) on the
eastern shores of Lake Washington, north of May Creek. The pilings are no
longer in use and are currently a navigational hazard for boaters on Lake
Washington. The pilings are spread out over an area that is approximately 36
acres. The pilings are located in the W 1/2 of the SW'/4 S 29, T 24 N, R 5 E.
The following permits are required for this proposed project:
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (Exemption), City of Renton
Hydraulic Permit Approval (HPA), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
Section 10 Permit, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The project area is located in a State designated Harbor Area. SOAL is
generally not classified using upland zoning categories. The neighboring
upland properties are zoned as Commercial/Office/Residential.
The site currently does not have any exclusive uses. The improvements located
on the property are the 123 derelict pilings, steel ball and cylinder. There are
also two, two hundred foot dry docks on the property that are not a part of this
project proposal. Portions of the site are currently part of the larger
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) cleanup that is on going with the upland property (parcel #
29924059002). This cleanup is under the management of the Environmental
Protection Agency. An area within the project site includes sediments that
contain Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), The southern portion of the
project site contains woodwaste. These future clean up areas are shown on
Map #2.
Generally the lake bottom sediment at this site is a silty mud with a few patches
of sandy substrate. The southern portion of the site where approximately 21
pilings are located contains woodwaste.
All of the work will take place below the ordinary water mark, within the Harbor
Area of Lake Washington. The work will occur in accordance with allowed fish
windows and bird nesting and migration windows as determined by the
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. DNR is aiming to remove
the piling before the work window closes in December 2006. The pilings will be
extracted using a vibratory hammer that is mounted on a barge_ A collar will be
fastened around the pilings and will pull up the piling while vibrating it out of the
sediment. Once the pilings are pulled from the sediment the vibratory hammer
will be turned off. The pilings will be placed on the barge and disposed of off
site.
The contractor will be required to remove pilings slowly to reduce the amount of
sediment that is displaced during the extraction process. Piles will not be
washed off in the water. Any debris that is associated with the removal will be
picked up and placed on the barge. Pilings that break will be pulled out of the
sediment with a clam shell bucket.
Pilings located in or near the PAH contaminated sediments will be cut at the
mudline. This includes approximately 28 pilings located at the GPS points 4
and 31 as shown on Map #1. The bottom sediments will not be swept to
search for underwater piles in known contaminated areas.
The steel ball and steel cylinder are floating on the lake and anchored to the
bedland. These two improvements will be removed by extracting or lifting their
anchors from the sediments or cutting the chain and leaving the anchor in
place.
The estimated project cost is $35,000. This project will improve the navigability
of the lake and enhance the nearshore environment which will benefit migrating
juvenile salmon.
Construction Mitigation Description
Project Name: Lake Washington Derelict Piling Removal
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposes to
complete this piling removal before the work window closes on December 31,
2006. Removal of the pilings will occur during daylight hours on Monday through
Friday. The pilings will be hauled off site on the barge they are loaded onto
during removal. This project will provide for the restoration of shallow water
habitat elements by removing pilings. The pilings represent unnatural physical
structures within the local environment. The project represents a net positive
gain relative to environmental effects.
To prevent suspension of sediments the vibratory hammer will be turned off once
the pilings are pulled from the sediment. Piles will not be washed off in the
water. The contractor will be required to remove pilings slowly to reduce the
amount of sediment that is displaced during the extraction process. Any debris
that is associated with the removal will be picked up and placed on the barge.
This proposal will not affect traffic, due to the project occurring on the Lake.
There will be a temporary increase in localized emissions from the equipment
that will be used to remove the pilings, however effects are expected to be
minimal.
Noise impacts to fish species are mitigated by completing the project within the
in -water work window of July 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006, preventing
disturbance to fish.
A barge and the associated equipment for piling removal will be located at the
site. This is not expected to cause any impacts to the water, however a Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans will be developed with
the selected contractor. The SPCC Plan will outline measures to be taken to
prevent release or spread of discharged materials including those the contractor
may store, use, or generate during construction activities. These items include,
but are not limited to gasoline, oils, and chemicals.
Approximately 28 pilings are located in an area where sediments are thought to
contain Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). These pilings will not be
pulled to prevent any resuspension of contaminated sediments. Rather, these
pilings will be cut at the mud line.

Washington State DNR is proposing to remove approximately 123 derelict pilings, one steel ball, and
one steel cylinder which are located on state-owned aquatic lands (SOAL) on the eastern shores of
Lake Washington, north of May Creek. This site is located in the VV Y2 of the SW'/4 Section 29,
Township 24, Range 5. The county parcels include 2924059014 and 2924059013.
The pilings will be extracted using a vibratory hammer that is mounted on a barge. A collar will be
fastened around the pilings and will pull up the piling while vibrating it out of the sediment, Once the
pilings are pulled from the sediment the vibratory hammer will be turned off. The pilings will be placed
on the barge and disposed of off site. Pilings that break will be pulled out of the sediment with a clam
shell bucket.
Some areas within the project area are part of a larger Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) cleanup of the upland property and lake sediments. The
management of this cleanup is being led by the Environmental Protection Agency. Map #2 indicates th
areas within the Harbor Area that will undergo future cleanup of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH) and woodwaste.
Pilings that are located in the sediment that contains Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) will be
cut at the mud line. This includes approximately 28 pilings located on the attached Map #1 at GPS
points 4 and 31. The bottom sediments will not be swept to search for underwater piles in this known
contaminated area.
The steel ball and steel cylinder are floating on the lake and anchored to the bedland. These two
improvements will be removed by extracting or lifting their anchors from the sediments or cutting the
chain and leaving the anchor in place.

7c Describe the potential impacts to characteristic uses of the water body. These uses may include fish and aquatic life, water quality,
water supply, recreation and aesthetics. Identify proposed actions to avoid, minimize, and mitigate detrimental impacts and provide
proper protection of fish and aquatic life. Identify which guidance documents you have used. Attach a separate sheet if additional
space is needed.
Some potential impacts of the project could be:
Noise impacts to fish species. This is mitigated by completing the project within the in -water work
window of July 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006, to prevent any disturbance to fish.
There will be a temporary increase in localized emissions from the equipment that will be used to
remove the pilings however effects are expected to be minimal.
Suspension of sediments in the lake. Suspension of sediments will be prevented by turning off the
vibratory hammer once the pilings have been pulled from the sediments. Piles will not be washed off
in the water. The contractor will be required to remove pilings slowly to reduce the amount of
sediment that is displaced during the extraction process. Approximately 28 pilings that are located in
sediments containing PAH will be cut off at the mudline to prevent any resuspension of contaminated
sediments.
This project is not expected to cause any impacts to the water. However, a barge and the
associated equipment for piling removal will be located at the site. Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans will be developed with the selected contractor. The SPCC Plan will
outline measures to be taken to prevent release or spread of discharged materials including those
the contractor may store, use, or generate during construction activities. These items include, but
are not limited to gasoline, oils, and chemicals.
