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.

3. Water [help]
a. Surface Water: [help]
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including
year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe
type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
No, there are no known surface water bodies in the immediate vicinity of the site. Cedar
River is located approximately 1,700’ due west of the site, but the site is not tributary to
the Cedar River. Instead, the site is tributary to Lake Washington by means of the
municipal conveyance system, which ultimately discharges to the lake at approximately
4,000’ from the project site.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
No, no work is proposed over or adjacent to the described waters.

from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected.
Indicate the source of fill material.
No filling or dredging is proposed in the described waters.

give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities
withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No, no groundwater will be withdrawn from a well and no water will be discharged to
groundwater.

SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 6 of 17
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals. . . ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
No, no waste material will be discharged to the ground from septic tanks or other
sources.
c. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow?
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Stormwater will be managed in accordance with the 2022 City of Renton SWDM. Per the
Flow Control Application Map, the project site falls within the ‘Peak Rate Flow Control
Standard – Matching Existing’ area, which states that flow control is not required if the
proposed developed condition will not generate more than 0.15-cfs increase in the 100-
year peak flow under existing site conditions. The existing site condition for the project
site is the previous Boeing development, which had roughly 95% impervious surface
coverage as confirmed by the City of Renton. Because the proposed development will
decrease the impervious surface coverage to less than 85%, the proposed developed
condition will not generate more than a 0.15-cfs increase in the 100-year peak flow. Flow
control, therefore, is not required.
Enhanced water quality treatment for the recently constructed on-site parking lot area is
provided by a Biopod Biofilter unit that was installed as part of the Topgolf development.
The discharge to the municipal storm drainage system is located at the intersection of
North 8th Street and Park Avenue North.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
No, waste materials are not anticipated to enter ground or surface waters.
3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If
so, describe.
No, the proposal is not proposing to impact drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage
pattern impacts, if any:
The proposed on-site stormwater management systems will be designed in accordance
with the 2022 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. No impacts to
groundwater, surface waters, or drainage patterns are anticipated.

with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
