Comments
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) notice of application utilizing the
optional determination of nonsignificance (ODNS/NOA) process for
the Home Depot project. Based on review of the checklist associated
with this project, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has the
following comments: Section B, Environmental Elements; Subsection
1, Earth. It was indicated in this subsection that no filling or
excavation of the subgrade soils are proposed. Appendix D stated that
a lumber canopy, a lumber staging pad, and a garden center will be
constructed along the northwest, northeast, and southwest sides of the
building. Also Section A indicated that demolition work will be
conducted before construction. Please clarify what demolition and
construction work will be conducted, and if any subsurface soil
interference (including installing foundation, utility trench, or
removing pavement, etc.) is anticipated. If yes, please provide the
area where subsurface work will be conducted. Section B,
Environmental Elements; Subsection 3, Water; b, Ground Water.
Groundwater is reported at the proposed project site as shallow as 1
foot below ground surface (bgs). If any subsurface work will be
conducted, please provide mitigation measures in case groundwater is
encountered. Section B, Environmental Elements; Subsection 7,
Environmental Health. The proposed project is located on two sites
listed on the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Confirmed and
Suspected Contaminated Sites List – PSE Grady Way Renton
Complex Parcel 2 (Facility ID 21349929) and Parcel 3 (Facility ID
86541135). Groundwater samples were collected at these two sites on
and prior to 2002. A groundwater sample collected from well GMW-
14 contained concentration of diesel- and heavy oil-range petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPHd and TPHo) above the MTCA Method A cleanup
level. This well was located in the proposed “Outlot 1” area. Historic
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6314EAD5-0BEB-42DD-88C0-371F2EBC8E65
groundwater samples from well GMW-4 contained polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) concentrations above the MTCA Method A
cleanup level. This well was located in the proposed “Outlot 2” area.
Please add the contamination information in the checklist. If any
subsurface work will be conducted, please describe mitigation
measures to address the following: • Hazardous waste operations
worker training, health/safety plan, and site control requirements, per
WAC 296-843. • Management of potential contaminated groundwater
encountered during construction, including sampling, treatment, and
disposal. • Potential impacts of the construction project on
contaminant remediation and monitoring at the cleanup sites,
including procedures to prevent damage to site monitoring wells (if
they still exist). Thank you for considering these comments from
Ecology. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these
comments, please contact Jing Song from the Toxics Cleanup
Program at (425) 229-2565 or by email at jing.song@ecy.wa.gov.
