HomeMy WebLinkAboutECF_SEPA_Checklist_220627_v1 SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 17 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.

(Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) The City of Renton Parks Planning & Natural Resources Department proposes improvements to the existing bocce court located at the Renton Senior Activity Center along the Cedar River. The project includes the removal of existing synthetic turf comprising the bocce court area. The gravel underlaying the bocce court area will be lowered several inches and rubberized surfacing will be poured in place to bring the rubberized surface level with the existing surrounding surface. A corn hole court, ping pong table, pour-in-place checkerboard, and exercise equipment including a cardio stepper, health hand beat cycler, balance steps, assisted row/push up, and stretch equipment will be added to the new rubberized surface area. Additional proposed improvements include the removal and replacement of existing shrubs, new concrete pads for benches, and the replacement of existing benches. . 12. Location of the proposal.

If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. Paved surfaces and landscape beds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies all soil types within the site as “Urban Land.” (Ref: Natural Resources Conservation Service. 2022. Web Soil Survey. King County Area, Washington (WA633). U.S. Department of Agriculture. Accessed April 2022: https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx.) d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. The area is within a moderate to high liquefaction susceptibility zone. (Ref: King County Flood Control District. May 2010. Map 11-5, Liquefaction Susceptibility. Accessed April 2022: https://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/water-and- land/flooding/local-hazard-mitigation-plan-update/liquefaction-hazard-map.pdf.)

Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. All fill materials used at the site will be clean and sourced from an approved off-site location. Fill will include two new concrete pads for benches and poured-in-place rubberized surfacing. Minor excavation will take place in the footprint of the concrete pads. The existing synthetic turf will be removed and the gravel underlaying the bocce court area will be lowered several inches. Rubberized surfacing will be poured in place to bring the bocce court area level with the existing surrounding surface. Below are the types of fill and areas proposed. • Gravel concrete foundation – 34 square feet • Concrete pads – 34 square feet • Poured-in-place rubberized surfacing – 2562 square feet f.

Erosion control best management practices (BMPs) will be used during construction as indicated by the erosion control plan. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? The site is currently covered with approximately 80 percent impervious surfaces over approximately 2,400 square feet.

No. Construction will include a spill prevention control and countermeasures (SPCC) plan. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. The proposal does not alter drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site. Existing drainage on site will be maintained. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: Please see WSP 2022 drainage report. No work will occur within the regulatory floodway. The only work that will occur within the Federal Emergency Management Agency Special Flood Hazard Area is the installation of two benches on concrete pads. The concrete pads will be installed to match the existing grade and will not reduce the storage volume within the floodplain. No compensatory storage will be required. 4. Plants [help] a.
