HomeMy WebLinkAboutECF_Topgolf_Renton_Environmental_Checklist_190617_v1 SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 18 SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 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: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. 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 area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. Background [HELP] 1.

In the western portion of the site that includes the new Topgolf building and adjacent parking lot areas, stormwater runoff from the parking lot area will be routed to modular wetland facilities for water quality treatment prior to discharge to underground detention tanks for flow control. The roof runoff from the building will discharge directly to the underground detention tanks. The treated runoff from the western basin will be control-released to the existing municipal conveyance system in Logan Avenue. In the eastern portion of the site that includes the outfield area, the surface parking lot to the southeast, and the Phase 2 development area, stormwater runoff will be routed through a modular wetland for water quality treatment before conveying stormwater runoff to an underground detention vault for flow control. The treated runoff from the eastern basin will be control-released to the existing municipal conveyance system in Park Avenue. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No, waste materials are not anticipated to enter ground or surface waters. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site?
