The site is located just west of the residence at 2224 NE 31 51 St. The proposal would occur within the City's right-of-way. Adjacent land use consists of single- family residences within the Resource Conservation (RC) and Residential -1 du/ac (R-1) zones. The existing culvert is in poor condition and poses a flooding risk, potential debris build up, and is a fish passage barrier. The project aims to relieve the severe flooding which has occurred at this location during storm events; most notably in 2007 and 2009. The project is located in Reach D of May Creek and regulated by the Shoreline Master Program. An exemption from the Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit is being requested as the proposal is considered normal maintenance and/or repair of an existing structure. The project site is also located within the 100-year floodplain. The project would involve the removal of rockery and gabion walls at the each end of the existing culvert. The culvert would be removed by cutting along the length to split it open. The installation of sheet wall abutments would occur 7-10 feet landward of the OHWM. There would be a temporary stream bypass constructed until the new 60-foot long bridge was complete. Activities done below the OHWM include placement of the temporary bypass structure, sandbags, removal of the existing culvert, and restoration of the stream bed. The embankments would be excavated for the new abutments (approximately 650 cubic yards) and the existing rock wall at both ends (50 cubic yards) of the culvert and the existing gabion wall on the south end would also be removed. The channel within the footprint of the culvert and rock wall would be widened to 20 feet to stimulate natural channel through the bridge opening. Approximately two boulders, approximately 100 cubic yards would be placed against the abutments and topped with 18-inches of stream bed cobbles (totaling 200 cubic yards). Surrounding shrubs and other invasive vegetation would be removed. No trees are proposed to be removed as part of the proposal. All disturbed areas would be re-vegetated and restored after project completion. The project is expected to commence in June 2013 and all work to be done within the OHWM be completed in September of 2013. Construction activities would take place during the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. On June 6, 2013, the City received comments from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division (Exhibit 8). These comments include a request for analysis of the floodplain elevation and a copy of the re-planting plan. Their comments appeared to be in support ofthe proposal. I PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW . In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those . project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.

Environmental Threshold Recommendation B. Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Exhibits Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3 Exhibit 4 Exhibit 5 Exhibit 6 Exhibit 7 Exhibit 8 Zoning Map Site Plan Aerial Photo Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period. Stream Study, prepared by Widener and Associates., dated May 2, 2013 Draft Shoreline Exemption Permit, dated June 24, 2013 Planting Plan May Creek -Design Summary, prepared by Ed McCarthy, dated April 24, 2013 Muckleshoot Tribe Comments, dated June 6, 2013 C. Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions ta determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The site is generally flat with a slight slope down to May Creek. The steepest slope on site is at the southwestern bank at approximately 25-40%. According to the National Resource Conservation Service a majority ofthe soils have been identified as Puyallup fine sandy loam. The embankments would be excavated for the new abutments (approximately 650 cubic yards) and the existing rock wall at both ends {50 cubic yards) of the culvert and the existing gab ion wall on the south end would also be removed. The channel within the footprint of the culvert and rock wall would be widened to 20 feet to stimulate natural channel through the bridge opening. Two boulders would be placed against the abutments and topped with 18-inches of stream bed cobbles (totaling 200 cubic yards). Following construction approximately 16-percent of the project site would be covered with impervious surface matching existing conditions on site. Standard erosion control excavation would be employed including filter fabric fences, covering soil stockpiles, and mulch. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation is required. Nexus: Not applicable. 2. Water Impacts: The project is located in Reach D of May Creek and regulated by the Shoreline Master Program. An exemption from the Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit is being requested as the proposal is considered normal maintenance and/or repair of an existing structure {Exhibit 5). Additionally, the site is located within 100-year floodplain {FEMA Zone -AE). Due to the project's location the applicant submitted a Stream Study prepared by Widener and Associates, dated May 2, 2013 (Exhibit 4). The study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of ERCReport City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development NE 31" STREET CUl VERT Report of June 24, 2013 Environmental Review Committee Report WA13-000598, ECF, SME Page 4 of 5 the Renton Municipal Code for both the Shoreline Master Program and the Critical Areas Regulations. The study states that the Creek provides a migratory corridor for salmon id species and habitat for other resident species. This reach of the stream provides an outlet for floodwaters from upstream reaches and carries associated sediment out to Lake Washington. There would be no net loss of ecological function as a result ofthe project as it would replace an existing culvert with a new bridge that improves stream flow. The proposal also includes the provision of a more natural streambed and channel within the bridge footprint which should enhance the aquatic habitat. According to a May Creek -Design Summary, prepared by Ed McCarthy, impacts to the floodplain are not anticipated since the project would not result in a net rise (Exhibit 7). There would not be an increase in runoff or flows therefore, flood compensation is not required. The proposed bridge is designed to provide a vertical clearance of 3 feet above the FEMA base flood elevation. The proposed bridge, would have a base flood elevation of 110.78-feet at the same location. The bridge bottom would be approximately 0.8-feet above the top of the existing culvert. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation is required. Nexus: Not applicable. 3. Plants Impacts: Vegetation at the site primarily comprises of invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry, reed canary grass, and Japanese knotweed. Shrubs in the vicinity of the culvert consist of salmon berry, sword fern, fringe cup, foam flower, and bluebells. Surrounding shrubs and other invasive vegetation would be removed. No trees are proposed to be removed. A total of approximately 750 square feet of invasive vegetation would be removed. A 20-foot section of a hedge on the northeast corner of the crossing would also be removed. Per code all disturbed areas would be re-vegetated and restored after project completion. Replanting of disturbed areas would consists of hydroseeding and mulching and planting of approximately 5-6 trees including western red cedar and western hemlock as space allows (Exhibit 6). A final planting plan would be required to be provided to, and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager, prior to construction permit approval. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation is required. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Transportation Impacts: The proposal would mitigate impacts to access for six homes due to severe flooding which has occurred at this location during storm events; most notably in 2007 and 2009. During construction one lane traffic would be maintained as often as possible. When bridge closures are required, the City and affected neighbors would be notified 10 days prior to specific closure dates. The road would not be closed for more than two weeks. There is a connecting access road from a private residence to 1141h Ave SE to the north which could be used by local residents as necessary. The applicant would be required to submit, and have approved by the Development Services Division, a Final Construction Mitigation Description. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation is required. Nexus: Not applicable.

An existing 84- inch diameter CMP culvert currently conveys flows in May Creek under NE 31 '1 Street. The culvert is in poor condition and poses a flooding risk, potential debris build location, and fish passage barrier. Under the current project, a bridge is being designed to replace the existing culvert as part of the 2009 FEMA disaster repair program. Methodology The hydraulic model HEC-RAS (Version 4.1) was used to evaluate the hydraulic losses through the proposed replacement structure (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2002; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1993). The replacement structure will be a bridge with a 60- foot span. The base flood elevation immediately downstream from the bridge was based on the FIRM, which is documented to be at an elevation of 110.37 feet NAVO 88. The hydraulics of the proposed bridge design were simulated for the 100-year flow. Model Results Predicted Flow Rates HEC-RAS results for the project are provided in Attachment A. The 100-year flow for May Creek at the project location was estimated to be 846 cubic feet per second. Channel Hydraulics The 100-year water surface elevation at the upstream face of the proposed bridge was calculated to be 110. 78 feet NA VD 88 with a 0.41 foot drop in the hydraulic grade line through the bridge (Attachment A). Our analysis confirms that the bridge design will provide a vertical clearance of 3 feet above the FEMA base flood elevation and will meet the state and federal requirements EXHIBIT 7 Mr. Dustin Ong Page 2 April 24, 2013 for this project. The proposed bridge design is intended to provide improved fish habitat and to allow the I 00-year base flood to pass through the structure along with any large woody debris. If you have any questions regarding my analysis, please call me at ( 425) 271-5734. Sincerely, Edward J. McCarthy. Ph.D., P.E. Rocale Timmons From: Sent: To: Subject: Rocale, Karen Walter <KWalter@muckleshoot.nsn.us> Thursday, June 06, 2013 11:56 AM Rocale Timmons NE 31st culvert replacement project LUAB-000598, ECF, CAR, Notice of Application and Proposed DNS We have reviewed the Notice of Application materials for the Renton's proposed NE 31" Street Culvert replacement and have some questions: 1.The checklist notes that there will be no net rise of the 100 year floodplain elevation. ls there an analysis to demonstrate this statement? Exhibit A pages 2 and 3 show a portion of the sheet pile foundation and stream bed boulders being within the 100 year floodplain. It is our understanding the City's requirements are for a zero rise in the floodplain elevation; it is not clear that the design is meeting this requirement. 2. We are pleased to see that the invasive plants will be removed as part of this project and native plants planted. Can we get a copy of the planting plan for the project? It wasn't included in our NOA packet. Thank you!

Project Name: NE 31'' Street Culvert Replacement Site Size: -0.4 acre Location: The culvert is located just west of 2224 NE 31'' Street and conveys May Creek under NE 31'' Street. It is in north Renton within Township 24N, Range SE, and Section 32. Other Permits Required: Other permits that will be acquired for this project includes this SEPA review and an HPA. Fair Market Value: The estimated value of the project is approximately $575,000. Site use: The site is currently a narrow crossing of May Creek that provides access to a few residencies. The proposed use will remain the same as the current use. Project Area Setting: The project site is located in an area designated as low density residential and zoned as resource conservation (RC) and residential-1 (R-1). NE 31" Street is a 2 lane local access road that provides access for six residencies. It is within an otherwise undeveloped forested area. Soil type in the vicinity consist of Puyallup fine sandy loam, according to the web soil survey provided by the National Resource Conservation Service. May Creek at the project location has rockery and gab ion walls on both ends of the culvert. Areas directly adjacent to the nearby property may be lined with riprap but other areas have a natural shoreline. There are two woody debris piles in the project vicinity in which a couple of wooden beams were observed as well as tree trunks. Project Description: This project proposes to remove the existing 48-inch culvert and replace it with a new bridge at the same location. The project aims to relieve the severe flooding that has occurred at this location during storm events. The existing culvert has evidence of being washed out during these flood events (most notable were the major floods in 2007 and 2009) which has also caused damages to the roadway. Complete failure of this culvert would deny access to six homes and emergency access through the area. The project will involve the removal of rockery and gabion walls at each end of the culvert, installation of sheet pile wall abutments 7-10 feet landward of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), a temporary stream bypass, and construction of the new 60-foot long bridge. Work is anticipated to occur during the in-water work window from June 2013 through September 2013 for activities that will be done below the OHWM, such as the placement of the temporary bypass structure, sandbags, removal of the existing culvert, and restoration of the streambed. '·_1,. Prior to construction, appropriate erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented to prevent increased turbidity to the creek. Fish screen will be installed as well as a temporary sandbag wall to direct water through the temporary bypass located through the existing culvert. No trees will be removed though surrounding shrubs and other invasive vegetation will be removed. Three trees will need to be trimmed to accommodate construction equipment and provide a safe work environment. New sheet pile walls will be installed and then the existing roadway will be removed. The embankments will be excavated for the new abutments (approximately 650 CY) and the existing rock wall at both ends (50 CY) of the culvert and the existing gabion wall on the south end will be removed. The channel within the footprint of the culvert and rock wall will be widened to 20 feet to simulate the natural channel through the bridge opening. The new bridge will provide 3 feet of clearance from the 100-year flood surface elevation. 1 and 2 man boulders (100 CY) will be placed against the abutments and topped with 18 inches of stream bed cobbles (total of 200 CY). The cobble will be placed throughout the bridge footprint. In addition, a couple of 36-inch habitat boulders will be placed on the upstream sides on the southwest bank, above the OHWM. The culvert will be removed by cutting along the length to split it open. All disturbed areas will be re-vegetated and restored after project completion. Construction Mitigation Description (Item #7) This narrative is provided to satisfy item #7 of the City ofRenton's environmental review package and will address the proposed construction timing and any mitigation measures. Proposed construction dates: June I, 2013 -September 30, 2013 Hours and days of operation: Construction will be conducted during normal business hours during the week days. Proposed hauling/transportation route: The hauling/transportation route will follow NE 31st Street, Jones Ave NE, NE 43,a Pl, 11 O'h Ave NE, NE 44th Street, and out to 1-405. Measures to be implemented: Prior to construction, appropriate temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) best management practices (BMPs) and other mitigation measures will be installed/implemented. These will be maintained throughout construction. The measures include: Flagging the clearing limits with stakes and tape Silt fencing Providing extra straw mulch, silt fence, plastic sheeting, and oil absorbent material onsite at all times and used as needed Removing any accumulated sediment behind the cofferdams as needed and containing and disposing of at an approved location Spraying water if needed to reduce dust Notifying affected residences prior to temporary bridge closure, which will last for no more than two weeks. One lane traffic will be maintained whenever it is feasible. Some construction activities will require daytime roadway closure. Operating during normal business hours to reduce noise impacts to nearby residences Securing the staging areas to contain all construction materials, fuel, etc. Restoring of disturbed areas with seeding and plantings Any special hours proposed: No special hours are proposed. All construction and hauling will be done during normal business hours. Preliminaty traffic control plan: One lane traffic will be maintained as often as possible. The excavation to remain open overnight will be covered with road plate and the precast barrier will be reset each night to maintain traffic and roadside safety. When bridge closures are required, the City and affected neighbors will be notified IO days prior to specific closure dates. The road shall not be closed for more than two weeks. The contractor will submit an overall bridge closure schedule at the beginning of the project for City approval. During the road closure, access will be provided via the private driveway that connects to NE 33'd Street, agreed upon by the property owner. ·-·'/ I PLANNING DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIS.T City of Renton Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 . _,, !(! /] PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: " i The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all git~;~:~ agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. 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. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. -1 -06109 C:\Users\widener\Desktop\31st St culvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc • A.

HPA Shoreline Exemption SEPA -2 - C:\Users\widener\Oesktop\31 st St culvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc 06/09 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. This project proposes to remove and replace an existing 48 inch CMP with a 60-foot bridge at the same location on NE 31'1 Street. This will include the removal of existing rockery and gab ion walls on both ends of the culvert and widening of the channel at the crossing to simulate the natural stream through the bridge opening. Use of the site will not change beyond existing, which is to provide access to the residencies in the area. The project site is approximately 0.4 acres including staging areas. 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). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. 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 project is located on NE 31 '1 Street at the eastern most crossing of May Creek. The nearest address to the site is 2224 NE 31" Street, Renton, WA 98056. It is within Section 32 of Range 5 East and Township 24 North. See attached map. To arrive at this site, take the NE 44th St exit off of 1-405 and head east to on NE 44th Street. NE 44th Street curves to the south and becomes 1101h Ave SE. Turn right onto Jones Ave NE which becomes NE 31 51 Street. The crossing is near the dead end of this road. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one); flat. rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. The general terrain of the immediate area is flat with gentle slopes down to the stream. Some portions of the stream banks are steep. The road is 4 feet above the stream. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope?) The steepest slope on the site is at the southwestern bank. According to the City of Renton mapping application, this area has slopes of 25% -40%. 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 prime farmland. According to the web soil survey compiled by the National Resource Conservation Service, the majority of soils in the vicinity are identified as Puyallup fine sandy loam. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. The project site does not have a history of unstable soils though the surrounding hillsides of May Creek Canyon have erosion potential. -3 -06/09 C:\Users\widener\Desktop\31 st St culvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Excavation of the road embankment will remove approximately 650 CY. Approximately 50 CY of rockery wall and 23 linear feet of gabion wall will be removed from the culvert inlet/outlet. Once the culvert is removed, 50 CY each of 1 and 2 man boulders and 200 CY of streambed cobbles will be placed within the footprint of the bridge. In addition, two 36-inch habitat boulders will be placed to improve habitat complexity. Native streambed cobbles and boulders will be reused for streambed restoration, if appropriate. The rest of the streambed material will be imported from an approved location. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. As the project involves clearing and grading, there is potential for the project to result in erosion. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for exam pie, asphalt or buildings)? About 16% of the project site will be covered with impervious surfaces. This will be similar to existing since the road will be located in the same alignment as existing and will have the same dimensions as existing. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Appropriate BMPs as identified in the TESC plans will be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities to reduce erosion impacts. These may include covering of exposed areas with plastic or straw mulch as appropriate, limiting the amount of earthwork at a given time, marking clearing limits, among others. • 4 • 06109 C:\Users\widener\Desktop\31st St cutvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Increased emissions from construction equipment and vehicles would be present during construction. Dust may also be generated during construction. No additional vehicular emissions would be created as a result of this project since the road will be constructed to have the same capacity as existing. It is a residential access road with no outlet. b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. This project is located within a low density residential community and there is no off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect the proposal. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: None. Significant emissions increases are not expected during construction. If necessary, dust may be controlled by watering and sweeping. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 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. This project will be conducted within and over May Creek which flows into the southeast corner of Lake Washington. May Creek at the project location is classified as designated shoreline per the City of Renton shoreline master plan. 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. Yes, work within the stream will involve the placement of sandbags and a temporary bypass pipe, removal of rockery walls and gabion walls from the culvert/road embankment, removal of the culvert, and the placement of streambed cobbles, gravels, and habitat boulders within the footprint of the new bridge. Pipe piles and the sheet pile wall for the bridge will be installed 7-10 feet landward of the OHWM. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. A total of 650 CY will be removed from the embankments. 50 CY each of 1 and 2 man boulders will be placed adjacent to the abutments. These will be covered with 200 CY of streambed cobbles which will be placed within the bridge -5 -06/09 C:\Users\widener\Desktop\31 st St culvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc footprint. Sandbags and the bypass pipe will be temporarily placed within the channel to direct the stream through the work area. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. The project will involve a temporary stream bypass which will direct the stream through the existing culvert. The stream will not be diverted to another route. Dewatering may be necessary within the excavated area. Any dewatering water will be released to a sediment bag or an approved vegetated strip for infiltration. S) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. Yes, May Creek has a FEMA designated 100-year floodplain. This is labeled in the plans. Impacts to the floodplain are not anticipated since the project will not result in a net rise. It will not result in increased runoff or flows and flood compensation is not required. The new bridge will provide three feet of clearance from the 100-year flood elevation. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No waste materials will be discharged to the stream. -6 -06/09 C:\Users\widener\Desktop\31 st St culvert\SEPA checklist 31st St Culvert.doc b. Ground Water: 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.

The City of Renton Public Works Department is proposing to replace an existing culvert conveying May Creek under NE 31st Street with a 60-foot bridge at the same location. The project will improve creek flows at the crossing in order to reduce the frequent flooding that occurs in the area. This narrative was prepared by a biologist from Widener & Associates, in accordance with RMC 4-8-120: qualified professional, and as defined in RMC 4-11-170. Site plans for this stream study were drawn by Civi!Tech Engineering. Project Area Setting and Stream Classification The NE 31st Street Culvert replacement project is located on May Creek, bordering 2224 NE 31" Street in northern Renton. This project is located within the lower reaches of May Creek, described in King County studies as the May Creek Canyon (King County 200 I). See attached project map. Within this reach, May Creek has a shoreline classification according to Figure 4-3- 050Q4 of the City of Renton Municipal Code. The creek has habitat features such as woody debris and varying stretches ofriffles and pools. NE 31" Street is a narrow local access road that serves six residencies. It becomes a one lane crossing at the culvert location. This area is zoned as Residential-I (R-1) and Resource Conservation (RC) and is within a forested corridor with only a few developed parcels. The forested corridor is situated between areas of high density residential neighborhoods. Existing Vegetation at the Site Vegetation at the site primarily comprises of invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus arrneniacus), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), and other roadside grasses. Shrubs and herbaceous vegetation in the vicinity of the culvert consist of salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), sword fem (Polystichum munitum), fringe cup (Tellima grandiflora}, foam flower (Tiarel/a spp}, and bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica). Red alder (A/nus rubnw), big leaf(Acer macrophyllum) and vine maple (Acer circinatum) are scattered along the stream banks. There are no conifers in the immediate vicinity except for three western red cedars (Thuja plicata) approximately 100 feet to the north of the crossing. There are also ornamental trees and hedges within the adjacent property. The grasses, salmonberry, and blackberry, make up most of the overhanging vegetation and the alders provide significant amounts of shade to the stream. Approximately 700 square feet of invasive vegetation and the Page I 6 adjacent hedgerow will be removed as part of this project. Trees will be trimmed back as necessary but none will be removed. Disturbed areas will be replanted. Ecological Functions Provided by the Stream Within the project area the stream provides a migratory corridor and spawning habitat for salmonid species and habitat for other resident species. Hydraulically, the lower stream provides an outlet for floodwaters from upstream reaches and carries associated sediment out to Lake Washington. Lower May Creek is susceptible to higher rates of erosion and sedimentation due to increased flows coming from the mid reaches within May Valley, where flooding problems are common. The primary function of May Valley is to store floodwaters but due to increased development, stormwater runoff, and filling of natural detention systems, capacity of the valley has been significantly reduced (King County 2001). Riparian areas in the project vicinity provide shade and overhanging cover for the stream. Limited riparian vegetation ( consisting of invasive vegetation and noxious weeds) will be removed for the culvert replacement. There will be no net loss of ecological functions of this stream as a result of this project since it will replace an enclosed pipe with a bridge and therefore enhance the aquatic habitat. This will improve stream flows and provide a more natural stream bed and channel within the bridge footprint. Stream habitat will be improved with the removal of rockery walls and the placement of streambed cobbles and habitat boulders. The riparian areas will be improved with the removal of invasive weedy vegetation and the planting of native species such as willows, western red cedar, salmonberry, and sword fem. Fish and Wildlife Presence This creek is documented to be utilized by many fish species including Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, cutthroat trout, Coho salmon, and Sockeye (WDFW 20 I 3 a, b ). Within this reach, spawning is documented for Coho, Chinook, and Sockeye. No Endanger Species Act or Priority Habitats and Species listed terrestrial species are documented in the area. The surrounding area provides habitat for urbanized species such as song birds, squirrels, raccoons and deer. Tree Protection No trees will be removed as part of this project. Trees directly adjacent to the culvert and overhanging the road will need to be trimmed back. Trees will be protected by marking the planned clearing limits prior to construction. Trees immediately adjacent to the project area will be marked for preservation per the approved plans. Page I 7 References: King County 200 I. Final Adopted May Creek Basin Action Plan. April 200 I.
