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: A high seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site. No expansion of the building footprint is proposed and therefore the applicant was not required to submit a geotechnical report with the land use application (Exhibits 4 and 6). It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted building codes would adequately mitigate for any impacts that could result from the proposed tenant improvements; therefore no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 2. Environmental Health a. Environmental Health Hazards DocuSign Envelope ID: 9F320DF9-C83E-43DC-B182-9C6B0FAB5AF5 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development 405 Commerce Center Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA19-000151, SA-A Report of October 7, 2019 Page 3 of 3 SR_ERC_Report_191007 Impacts: As provided in the August 16, 2019 Department of Ecology Letter (Exhibit 10), the site is located within an area that may have been contaminated with heavy metals due to air emissions originating from the former Asarco smelter plant in north Tacoma. While the site is already developed and the majority of the work is limited to tenant improvements, removal of surface mounted equipment in the paved parking lot, and adding additional parking spaces via striping, there is an approximately 150 square foot area of paving that will be removed and planted with new internal lot landscaping. Contaminated soils may be beneath the existing asphalt as the site was constructed in 1992 prior the Tacoma Smelter Plume project and cleanup program. An above ground diesel tank associated with a generator was removed prior to obtaining the environmental determination and site plan decision. The tank had a capacity of 10,000 gallons and the applicant stated that it was emptied and removed from the site. The applicant also stated that a permit was not required by the Renton Regional Fire Authority because it was not decommissioned. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall follow the Department of Ecology guidance for Tacoma Smelter Plume soil contamination testing and remediation as instructed in the agency’s August 16, 2019 letter (Exhibit 10) when removing existing asphalt and excavating for the new parking lot landscaping island abutting the northwest portion of the building as shown on the landscaping plan (Exhibit 7). Nexus: Renton Comprehensive Plan Policy U-32: Work to protect surface and groundwater resources from pollutants entering the storm drainage system. 3. Transportation Impacts: The proposed change of use to warehouse would not create additional demand upon or need for transportation facilities. No changes to the property frontage or existing driveway on Maple Ave SW is proposed. The applicant has proposed to remove the existing parking covenant (Exhibit 8) recorded with the previous use permit that limited the parking spaces to 16 and reconfigure the parking lot to accommodate 11 additional parking spaces for a total parking capacity of 27 parking spaces. The proposed 27 parking spaces complies with the RMC 4-4-080F.10.d that requires warehouse uses to provide a minimum/maximum one (1) parking space per 1,500 square feet of net floor area. The Floor Plan (Exhibit 5) and the King County Assessor indicates the building contains 40,059 square feet of net floor area thereby requiring 27 spaces. The applicant’s parking study (Exhibit 9) prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest, dated June 28, 2019 indicates the 27 proposed spaces would be adequate for the warehouse use and no parking spillover is anticipated. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. E. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or Advisory Notes to Applicant (Exhibit 11).  Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report. The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680). Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing together with the required fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, on or before 5:00 p.m. on October 25, 2019.

Based on review of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist associated with this Project, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has the following comments: This proposed project is located in an area that may have been contaminated with heavy metals due to the air emissions originating from the old Asarco smelter in north Tacoma (visit Ecology’s Tacoma Smelter Plume map search tool: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/dirtalert/). Soil contamination from the former Asarco smelter poses a risk to human health and the environment. Children are at especially high risk from direct exposure to contaminated soil. Construction workers, landscapers, gardeners, and others who work in the soils are also at risk. Ecology recommends that the lead agency include the following as conditions of approval, prior to the issuance of any site development permits or the initiation of grading, filling, or clearing:  Sample the soil and analyze for arsenic and lead following the 2012 Tacoma Smelter Plume Guidance. The soil sampling results shall be sent to Ecology for review. If the project includes open space areas, contact the Technical Assistance Coordinator, Eva Barber, for assistance in soil sampling methodology within the open space area.  If lead or arsenic are found at concentrations above the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) cleanup levels (Chapter 173-340 WAC); the owners, potential buyers, construction workers, and others shall be notified of their occurrence. The MTCA cleanup level for arsenic is 20 parts per million (ppm) and lead is 250 ppm.  If lead, arsenic and/or other contaminants are found at concentrations above MTCA cleanup levels, the applicant shall: EXHIBIT 10 DocuSign Envelope ID: 9F320DF9-C83E-43DC-B182-9C6B0FAB5AF5 Matt Herrera August 16, 2019 Page 2 1. Develop soil remediation plan and enter into the Voluntary Cleanup Program with Ecology. For more information on the Voluntary Cleanup Program, visit Ecology website at: https://ecology.wa.gov/Spills-Cleanup/Contamination-cleanup/Cleanup- process/Cleanup-options/Voluntary-cleanup-program. 2. Obtain an opinion letter from Ecology stating that the proposed soil remediation plan will likely result in no further action under MTCA. The applicant shall provide to the local land use permitting agency the opinion letter from Ecology. 3. Prior to finalizing site development permits, provide to the local land use permitting agency “No Further Action” determination from Ecology indicating that the remediation plans were successfully implemented under MTCA.  If soils are found to be contaminated with arsenic, lead, or other contaminants, extra precautions shall be taken to avoid escaping dust, soil erosion, and water pollution during grading and site construction. Site design shall include protective measures to isolate or remove contaminated soils from public spaces, yards, and children’s play areas. Contaminated soils generated during site construction shall be managed and disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations, including the Solid Waste Handling Standards regulation (Chapter 173-350 WAC). For information about soil disposal contact the local health department in the jurisdiction where soils will be placed. The link below provides a fact sheet that explains more how the arsenic and lead clean-up levels were set and why Ecology sees that they are protective for human health: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1109095.html Thank you for considering these comments from Ecology.
