5l. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]
The project will take place in and adjacent to the Black River. Riparian and wetland vegetation includes black
cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), big -leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), red alder (Alnus rubra), willows (Salix
spp.), Pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttallii), cattail (Typha latifolia), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), and
reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Upland vegetation within the project footprint consists primarily of
maintained lawn dominated by Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), with some scattered snowberry
(Symphoricarpos albus) and a few shore pines (Pinus contorta).
The Black River Pump Station impounds water behind the dam, creating a large, slow-moving pool. The river is
listed as impaired on the state 303(d) list for fecal coliform and is listed as a water of concern for dissolved
oxygen and temperature. There is little large woody debris and no undercut banks or off-channel habitat.
Substrates consist of fine-grained sand and silt. Sediment samples collected by King County indicate that the
sediment contains levels of arsenic, cadmium, and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) that exceed the Model
Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A or B cleanup levels for unrestricted land use. In addition, sediment
exceeds freshwater sediment quality criteria for TPHs, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), arsenic, cadmium, and nickel.
5m. Describe how the property is currently used. [help]
The Black River Pump Station and parking lot are on the western portion of the property. The eastern part of the
property is open space adjacent to the City of Renton’s 92-acre Black River Riparian Forest and Wetland.
5n. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. [help]
Surrounding properties are primarily undeveloped. Adjacent properties to the east are part of the Black River
Riparian Forest and Wetland. A regional trail parallels the north side of the river, and BNSF railroad tracks are

Part 6–Project Description
6a. Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. [help]
The King County Water and Land Resources Division operates the Black River Pump Station to provide flood
control protection for the lower Green River Valley. King County plans to remove sediment that has accumulated
in the pump station forebay. Project construction would entail:
• Staging and site preparation, which will include constructing a sediment stockpiling, decant and
treatment area and crane pad
• Mobilizing equipment in the work area
• Isolating the in-water work area with turbidity curtains, cofferdams, temporary flow diversion structures,
or other best management practices (BMPs)
• Excluding fish from the in-water work area
• Pumping the Black River through a temporary bypass pipe on the north side of the river
• Placing sediment removal equipment in the work area using the crane
• Removing and stockpiling sediment adjacent to the river
• Decanting stockpiled sediment and treating the wastewater
• Removing in-water BMPs
• Hauling sediment off site
• Restoring and replanting any cleared areas.
6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [help]
Sediment that has accumulated upstream of the pump station since its construction in the 1970s is now an
operational concern for the facility. The project is necessary to maintain the pump station’s flood control
capacity. King County proposes to remove about 2,900 cubic yards of sediment from the river channel,
extending from the pump station to approximately 100 feet upstream.

6e. Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction
methods and equipment to be used. [help]
• Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.
• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.
Land clearing:
Prior to dredging, a staging and sediment stockpiling, decant, and water treatment area will be constructed on
the south side of the river. That size of staging area is approximately 13,359 square feet and includes an access
road to the Black River. The staging area overlaps with portions of the buffers of Wetlands B and C, and falls
almost entirely within the 200-foot regulatory buffer of the Black River. Approximately 8,766 square feet of
vegetation will be removed: 528 square feet of combined Wetland C and stream buffer; 1,171 square feet of
stream buffer only; 3,825 square feet of combined Wetland B and stream buffer; 2,856 square feet of Wetland B
buffer only; and 386 square feet of combined Wetland B, C, and stream buffer. The remaining portion of the
staging area (4,593 square feet) will be located on the pump station parking lot.
Wetland B is a Category III emergent and scrub-shrub wetland dominated by reed canarygrass and Himalayan
blackberry. Wetland C is a Category IV emergent, scrub-shrub, and forested wetland. The buffer for both
wetlands is primarily disturbed upland adjacent to the parking lot pump station consisting almost entirely of
Kentucky bluegrass. One shore pine, which is 15 inches diameter at breast height (dbh), is in the middle of the
grassy area and will be cleared. Vegetation within the proposed access road alignment consists of several small
(2- to 4-inch dbh) alders and two small (2-inch dbh) Douglas-firs with an understory of reed canarygrass and
Himalayan blackberry.
The Black River will be pumped through a bypass pipe for the duration of in-water work. The pipe will run along
the north bank of the river through portions of the buffer of Wetland D and the Black River. There may be some
minor vegetation clearing in the bypass pipe alignment, resulting in approximately 10,019 square feet of
combined Wetland D/stream buffer impact, and roughly 3,738 square feet of stream buffer impact. Upland
vegetation within the alignment consists of weedy herbaceous species such as reed canarygrass, tansy
(Tanacetum vulgare), and Himalayan blackberry. On the shoreline, yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus) dominates.
No woody vegetation will be cleared to lay the pipe.
Dredging:
Sediment will be removed by dewatered mechanical excavation, which will involve isolating the sediment
removal area from the river by constructing a temporary flow diversion structure (e.g., cofferdam) spanning the
entire width of the river, installing temporary pumps and piping to divert the river, and dewatering the sediment
removal area. Installation of a flow diversion structure will not require impact driving. Flows will be rerouted
through pipes on the north bank of the river. Pipes will be placed on existing fill pads and gravel access roads.
The work area will be partially dewatered using the pump station pumps until water levels are too low or turbidity
levels are too high, at which point portable pumps will be used to remove the remaining water. Pumps will
remain on site during excavation to remove water that may seep past the cofferdam. Water will be pumped
downstream of the pump station, unless it is too turbid to meet Ecology Surface Water Quality Criteria, in which
case it will be pumped directly to the onsite decant facility for treatment prior to being discharged back into the
Black River.
Fish capture and removal will be conducted by a qualified biologist. Fish will be removed from the in-water work
zone prior to and during dewatering using a combination of seine and dip netting. Electrofishing may be used
once adult and sub-adult fish have been removed from the work area. Any portable pumps used to dewater the
area will be fitted with screens to prevent fish from being sucked into the pumps per RCW 77.57.070. Nets will
be composed of non-abrasive nylon material. Fish handling will be kept to the minimum necessary to remove
fish from the area.
Sediment will be removed from the riverbed using conventional excavation equipment such as clamshell
buckets or backhoes, and stockpiled in the dewatering area. A crane pad will be built in the staging area to
support a crane that will lift and remove equipment into and from the riverbed.
Water that drains from the sediment will be contained and treated prior to being discharged back into the Black
River. Water will be tested prior to discharge; if it does not meet surface water quality criteria it will be
JARPA Revision 2012.2 Page 7 of 15
discharged to the sanitary sewer system or hauled off site for disposal. Drying agents may be used to dewater
the sediment; the Black River will not be exposed to drying agents. Dewatered sediment will be hauled off site
for disposal at a facility approved to accept such waste.
Revegetation:
Cleared areas will be revegetated with native species once construction is complete. Refer to the Wetland and
Stream Buffer Mitigation Report (Appendix B) for details.
6f. What are the anticipated start and end dates for project construction? (Month/Year) [help]
• If the project will be constructed in phases or stages, use JARPA Attachment D to list the start and end dates of each phase or
stage.
Start date: May 2016 End date: October 2017 See JARPA Attachment D
Staging area construction will begin as early as May 2016. Dredging will occur during the in-water work window
of July 1 through August 31. The project will be conducted over two in-water work windows in 2016 and 2017.
Site restoration and revegetation will occur in September and October of 2017. The project may be completed as
early as October of 2016 if dredging can be accomplished in one season.

Project staff met with the representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers (Project # NWS-2014-1025),
Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe on November 12, 2014, to discuss
the project. Project staff also met with representatives from the City of Renton on December 8, 2014, and from
Herons Forever on December 9, 2014. Based on feedback from those organizations, the project design was
modified to avoid wetland and buffer impacts:
• The staging area was moved from the north side of the river to the south side to avoid impacts on
Wetland D.
• The south side staging area was sized and located to avoid impacts on Wetlands B and C.
• Buffer impacts have been minimized to the extent possible.
o The access road to the Black River was designed to avoid impacts on trees great than 4 inches
dbh.
o The staging area was designed to minimize clearing of native vegetation. No native vegetation will
be cleared for the stockpiling and dewatering area.
o The staging area was sized and located outside the drip line of large trees to minimize impacts on
root systems.

Dredging will take place within the Black River from behind the face of the dam to approximately 100 feet
upstream. The project will incorporate the following minimization measures:
• In-water work will occur during the approved in-water work window (July 1 to August 31).
• The project has been designed to limit turbidity by dewatering the dredge area and bypassing Black
River flows around the work zone. BMPs will be implemented to minimize the spread of sediment. The
project has developed a water quality monitoring plan (Appendix C) to ensure compliance with
Washington State water quality standards. Points of compliance have been established 100 feet
upstream and downstream of the in-water work zone. Turbidity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH
will all be monitored to ensure project design and BMPs are functioning as proposed.
• Turbidity curtains or other BMPs will be used to minimize turbidity and the spread of potentially
contaminated sediments.
• At the upstream extent of the dredged area, the face of the dredge prism will be angled to prevent
remaining sediment from slumping into the work zone and increasing turbidity.
• A sand cap of approximately 280 cubic yards will be placed over the dredged area to minimize the
potential for post-project sediment mobilization.
• All water removed from the river during dewatering and decant activities will be treated to meet Ecology
Surface Water Quality Criteria for turbidity and toxics before being discharged into the Black River
downstream of the pump station. Water that does not meet Surface Water Quality Criteria will be taken
off site for treatment and disposal.
• Drying agents used to dry sediment will not be allowed to contact Waters of the State.
• A Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control plan will be implemented during construction to prevent and
reduce the potential for erosion. The plan requires the placement and maintenance of erosion control
measures on site throughout construction. Measures could include placement of straw wattles, silt
fences, temporary seeding, and/or soil coverings as appropriate.
• An engineer-approved Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures plan will be implemented to guard
against the release of any harmful pollutants or products.
• All cleared areas will be revegetated with native plant species following construction.
• The project will comply with all terms and conditions of applicable state and local regulations and
permits.
• Fish will be removed from the in-water work zone by a qualified biologist prior to dredging. Fish handling
will be minimized to the extent possible. Seining and dip netting is the preferred removal method. Nets
will be composed of non-abrasive materials. Electrofishing may be used to remove any remaining fish
once adults and sub-adult fish have been excluded from the in-water work area. Electrofishing will
comply with the most recent US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service
guidelines.

Approximately 280 cubic yards of clean sand will be placed on the riverbed once dredging is complete to
minimize mobilization of fine sediment. Traditional upland earthwork equipment will be used to place the sand
cap while the work area is dewatered.
8g. For all excavating or dredging activities identified in 8e, describe the method for excavating or dredging,
type and amount of material you will remove, and where the material will be disposed. [help]
Sediment will be removed by dewatered mechanical excavation, which will involve isolating the sediment
removal area from the river by constructing a temporary flow diversion structure (e.g., cofferdam) spanning the
entire width of the river, installing temporary pumps and piping to divert the river, and dewatering the sediment
removal area. Sediment will be excavated with conventional excavation equipment such as clamshell buckets or
backhoes, and stockpiled in the dewatering area. Water that drains from the sediment will be contained and
treated prior to being discharged back into the Black River. Water will be tested prior to discharge; if it does not
meet surface water quality criteria, it will be discharged to the sanitary sewer system or hauled off site for
disposal. Dewatered sediment will be hauled off site for disposal at a facility approved to accept such waste.
Hydraulic dredging (using suction pumps to remove sediment and entrained water) may also be used to remove
sediments within the pump bay area behind the trash racks due to difficulty accessing that area. Once dredging
is complete, a sand cap approximately 1 foot thick will be placed over the dredged area to minimize the potential
for sediment mobilization when the area is rewatered.
