HomeMy WebLinkAboutECF_Environmental Checklist_220803_v1.pdf SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 14 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. Name of proposed project, if applicable: 720 South 55th Street – Clearing & Grading 2. Name of applicant: Daniel Lee, Owner SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 2 of 14 3. Address and phone number of applicant and contact person: 720 South 55th Street, Renton, WA 98055, 425-626-0601, Daniel Lee 4. Date checklist prepared: July 28, 2022 5. Agency requesting checklist: City of Renton, WA 6. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable): Clearing and grading was conducted in 2021. Since the work was conducted without a permit, two warnings of violation (CODE21-000495) were issued to stop work and assess required permit processes. The Clearing and Grading Permit process and this SEPA Checklist is directly associated with the remedial efforts of the previous mentioned warnings. 7.

List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. An Arborist/Tree Inventory Report prepared by Greenforest Incorporated in May 2022, and Targeted Technical Information Report prepared by Core Design, Inc. in May 2022. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. None at this time. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Clearing & Grading Permit & SEPA Determination 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) The proposal requests a review of clearing, grading, and impervious surfaces on site, including 138 trees located onsite prior to the un-permitted clearing and grading activity. The result of this clearing and grading permit will help establish mitigation or corrective measures to resolve two warnings of violation. Impacts related to the previous land disturbing activity equal approximately 36,720 squarefeet of disturbance, and 233 cy of cut with 831 cy of fill. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s).

While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. The location of the proposal includes one primary parcel at approximately 2.50 acres inside the City of Renton’s city limits, roughly 2 miles from the intersection of State Highway 167 & South 180th Street. The address is assigned as 720 S 55th Street, and the parcel is also identified as Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 312305-9125 in SE Section 31, Township 23, Range 5. Additionally, APNs 312305- 9024 & 312305-9156 are affected by the proposal due to the access easement leading to the primary parcel and are located south of the primary parcel. The legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map can be found in the plan set submitted with this SEPA review. B. Environmental Elements [HELP] 1. Earth [help] a. General description of the site: (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other _____________ b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The steepest slope is approximately 68% within the western portion of the parcel along a short section along the south property boundary. Topography varies across the site. The overall elevation change is roughly 142- feet from the highest points in the east and lowest points in the west. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? 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. Soil type listed by the NRSC Web Soil Survey Map is Alderwood gravelly sandy loam material, 8 to 15 percent slopes at 100% of the area of interest. There are no agricultural lands of long- term significance. No soils were removed from the site, but fill was brought in from 13504 SE 50th Place, Bellevue, WA 98006. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. Per City GIS data, the site has regulated slopes and is located within a Landslide Hazard Area. Slopes at more than 40% are predominately located on the west end of the parcel inside the native growth protection area and landslide hazard are noted to the northwest of the existing residence. There are historical records of landslides in the area to the south, near Sprinkbrook Creek, per the WA State DNR Geologic Information Portal. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Grading has already been conducted on the site, and the associated clearing and grading permit is to ensure proper access configuration, site drainage, and stormwater management. Approximately 36,720 SF (less than 43,560 SF) of area was disturbed prior to this permit application. Roughly 2,540 SF of new gravel was placed along the access easement leading to the existing residence, 3,512 SF of new gravel was placed along the southern boundary of the parcel, and roughly 3,143 SF of new pavement was laid over 1,792 SF of existing concrete and 346 SF of existing gravel near the garage and driveway southeast of the residence. The total amount of impervious coverage previously installed over pervious SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 4 of 14 ground is 7,047 SF. This groundwork activity equaled 233 CY of cut and 831 CY of fill. The source of fill dirt was brought in from 13504 SE 50th Place, Bellevue, WA 98006. Proposed work will include the removal of 2,063 SF of previously placed gravel. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. In general, erosion can occur as a result of clearing and grading activity. However, the clearing and grading activity has already taken place and no erosion resulted from this previous activity. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 7% of the subject primary parcel will be covered by impervious surfaces after completion of the project. The adjacent parcels with affected area within the access easement will be covered by 37% (312305-9024) and 21% (312305-9156). h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Approximately 2,063 SF of landscaping will replace previously installed gravel for restoration purposes. Roughly 21,836 SF of hydroseeding lawn has been previously installed to reduce erosion of native sols onsite. Silt fencing will be utilized around the entire previously disturbed area while landscaping mitigation is performed. Dedication of 19,978 SF of native growth area is proposed for storm mitigation. Overall, dedication of the native growth area and planting proposed outside of that area total approximately 41,814 SF of mitigation is proposed. The planting of 47 trees onsite also assist with erosion control and stormwater management. 2. Air [help] a.

What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Some grass and groundcover vegetation were removed during the previous groundwork, but these disturbed areas received replanting of the same type of grass/groundcover as mitigation. Two trees were also removed previously (T69 & T70), but 47 trees have also been planting since them with 42 of them considered to be significant. Please reference the associated Arborist Report for more information. c. List threatened and endangered species known to be on or near the site. No threatened or endangered species are known to be on or near the site and according to the WSFW PHS interactive web map, and there are no listed or candidate species occurrences listed. d.
