PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Non-Project Environmental (SEPA) Review is being requested for a Stormwater
Retrofit Study. The city of Renton owns and maintains over 400 stormwater facilities to mitigate for the stormwater
impacts of development. Older stormwater facilities were primarily focused on providing stormwater storage. Design
standards have advanced so that recently constructed stormwater facilities provide better water quality treatment to
mitigate the detrimental impacts of stormwater pollutants on stream water quality and aquatic habitat. The city received
a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) to perform a study of many of the existing flow control
facilities that have little or no water quality treatment features. The purpose of the study is to identify and prioritize
the sites with the greatest potential to improve water quality.
Per WAC197-11-340(2)(c) any person, affected tribe, or agency may submit comments to the City within fourteen
days of the date of issuance of the DNS.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on March 21,
2022. Appeals to the Examiner are governed by RMC 4-8-110 and more information regarding the appeal process
may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk’s Office, (425) 430-6510. Due to the ongoing state of emergency
enacted by Governor’s Proclamation 20-05, the City Clerk’s Office is working remotely. For that reason, appeals must
be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov or delivered to City Hall 1st floor Lobby Hub
