Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to 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 subject site is located in an area with a known seismic hazard. As such the applicant, SECO Development, Inc., submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Design Study, prepared by Hart Crowser, Inc., dated May 1, 2015 (Exhibit 5). The Report was initially prepared for the Southport Office Development in 2015. The proposed roadway extension project would connect to the existing Southport Office Complex which consists of three 9-story office towers, a podium, and a common garage (Exhibit 3). The report states there is a risk of liquefaction during a significant seismic event through the upper 20-50 feet below grade. The analysis in the report indicated that if work was completed in wet conditions that pipe bedding and backfill should consist of high quality sand and gravel with a low fines content. Construction of the roadway extension would require excavation, grading and fill. According to the applicant, projects within the vicinity of the project site such as Logan Ave N encountered soils that required over excavation for pipe installation. For the roadway extension project, there would be approximately 3,325 cubic yards of excavation and 6,080 cubic yards of fill over an area of approximately 63,000 square feet. For the trestle crossing there would be approximately 185 cubic yards of excavation and approximately 50 cubic yards of fill over approximately 5,900 square feet. Together, these portions of the project would have a combined project quantity of approximately 3,510 cubic yards of excavation and approximately 6,130 cubic yards of fill over approximately 68,900 square feet (Exhibit 13). The City is proposing imported crushed surfacing top course (CSTC), gravel borrow, or City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Park Avenue North Extension Project Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA20-00007, ECF Report of January 27, 2020 Page 4 of 7 ERC_Report_Park_Ave_N_Extension_Project_v1 cast-in-place cellular concrete. For the roadway extension at Southport, there would be approximately 4.5 cubic yards of cut and approximately 4,250 cubic yards of fill (Exhibit 14). An Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan would be utilized for the roadway extension project which would include both structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs). Structural BMPs may include installation of silt fences, rock checking dams in existing ditches, and placement of catch basin inserts in existing catch basins. Non-structural BMPs may include planning and design, routine inspections and routine maintenance. Southport’s geotechnical report includes specific recommendations in order to mitigate potential geotechnical impacts given the seismic hazards. Therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval the Southport Park Ave Extension Permit be required to comply with Geotechnical Recommendations Supporting Civil Design as provided in the Geotechnical Engineering Design Study. Mitigation Measures: The Applicant, SECO Development, Inc., shall comply with geotechnical recommendations supporting civil design as indicated in the Geotechnical Engineering Design Study, prepared by Hart Crowser, Inc., dated May 1, 2015, or an updated report submitted at a later date. Nexus: State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Review; RMC 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations. 2. Air Impacts: It is anticipated that some short-term air quality impacts could be associated with site work and civil construction required to complete the Park Avenue North Extension Project. Project development impacts during construction may include dust as a result of construction activities, wind erosion, and traffic over unpaved surfaces. Carbon emissions may be generated due to construction machinery, workers driving to and from the job site and increased congestion due to construction activities. For example, trucks needed to haul debris and fill would cause dust and emit exhaust. Dust control would be mitigated through the use of temporary erosion control measures, watering or other measures to remediate impacts as needed. Long-term impacts would result from the net increase of vehicular traffic; however, the project is intended to enhance traffic operations and roadway conditions. No further site specific mitigation is recommended for the identified impacts from typical vehicle and construction exhaust. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required. Nexus: Not applicable. 3. Water a. Storm Water Impacts: The applicant, SECO Development, Inc., submitted a Technical Information Report, prepared by Coughlin Porter Lundeen, dated September 2019 (Exhibit 4) for the Southport Park Avenue Extension Project (development of a private interim roadway through the Southport site). The Technical Information Report (TIR) provides the technical information and design analysis required for developing the Drainage and Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESC) for the Southport Park Avenue Extension Project. According the TIR, the existing PSE Bypass drainage system already takes 0.31 acres of the proposed roadway site (0.59 acres of impervious area) area into account for conveyance capacity. The remaining 0.28 acres of impervious area would be routed to the existing PSE Bypass system via catch basins and a water quality catch basin. Based on City of Renton GIS data and available survey data, this 0.29 acres of impervious area runoff is being redirected from the existing Boeing drainage system located west of the site to the existing PSE Bypass drainage system. Both systems ultimately drain to Lake Washington. Based on the Conveyance Analysis calculations, the existing PSE system has enough capacity to accommodate the City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Park Avenue North Extension Project Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA20-00007, ECF Report of January 27, 2020 Page 5 of 7 ERC_Report_Park_Ave_N_Extension_Project_v1 additional flows generated by the portion of the proposed roadway that the PSE system does not already account for. Storm runoff would be conveyed by gutter flow to this series of catch basins and would then discharge to the new Contech StormFilter system Catchment Area. After being treated, all runoff from the capture area and would be discharged into the existing PSE Bypass storm conveyance system and ultimately discharged into Lake Washington (located within a quarter mile of the site). All conveyance on the Southport site would be designed according to Chapter 4 of the 2017 RSWDM and the proposed storm drainage system would be privately owned, operated and maintained by SECO Development. Basic Water Quality measures would apply per the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). Appropriate on-site BMPs would be required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. A temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) plan provides BMPs to be implemented during construction. The final drainage plan with BMPs and drainage report makes recommendations for water quality and flow control to meet the requirements of the 2017 RSWDM. The applicant, SECO Development, Inc., would be required to follow The TIR and meet all code requirements. The City submitted a Draft Stormwater Technical Information Report, prepared by Perteet, dated August 2019 (Exhibit 6) for the Park Avenue N Extension Project. Within the City’s portion of the project, the roadway runoff is the main source of runoff in the project area. Currently roadway runoff enters catch basins along the roadway and flows through a closed conveyance system to be treated. The City’s portion of the project would include a stormwater conveyance system to meet the requirements of the 2017 RSWDM. Staff does not recommend any further mitigation of impacts from new surface water runoff through SEPA as it is anticipated that the 2017 RSWDM would sufficiently mitigate any surface water runoff impacts. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required if grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual would mitigate for any potential surface water impacts that could be generated by the project proposal, therefore no further mitigation is recommended at this time. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Vegetation Impacts: Approximately 9,000 square feet of vegetation would be removed for the roadway extension and approximately 7,000 square feet of vegetation would be removed for the trestle crossing for a total of approximately 16,000 square feet. Vegetation to be removed includes grass, small shrubs, and blackberries. Only scattered weeds would be removed on Southport’s portion of the project. The applicant submitted a landscaping plan with the Park Avenue N Extension (90% Submittal) (Exhibit 2). The landscape plan includes the planting of native trees and shrubs. Landscaping for the roadway extension includes: three (3) paperbark maples (Acer griseum), 30 blue diamond rhododendrons (Rhododendron augustini x ‘intrafast’), 20 dwarf PJM rhododendrons (Rhododendron x ‘P.J.M. compacta’), 43 Pacific wax myrtle (myrica californica), and 4 coral beauty cotoneasters (cotoneaster dammeri ‘coral beauty’). In addition, 5,625 square feet of sod lawn on topsoil would be placed in the grassy areas temporarily impacted by the project, 4,050 square feet of mulch would be placed in the planting areas, and 1,980 square feet of river rock would be placed in unmaintained planting strip within the BNSF right-of-way (ROW). Landscaping for the trestle pedestrian undercrossing includes: 256 Frau dagmar hastrup rose (rosa rugose ‘frau dagmar hastrup’), 3,400 square feet of mulch at planting areas, City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Park Avenue North Extension Project Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA20-00007, ECF Report of January 27, 2020 Page 6 of 7 ERC_Report_Park_Ave_N_Extension_Project_v1 and placement of 593 square feet of concrete slope protection with embedded rock. Landscape planting would be installed after site work is done, including roads, utilities, driveways, etc. No landscaping would be provided for the temporary private road. It is anticipated that the submitted plans would mitigate for any potential landscape impacts that could be generated by the project proposal, therefore no further mitigation is recommended at this time. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required. Nexus: Not applicable. 5. Environmental Health a. Noise Impacts: Noise impacts would primarily result from construction of the proposed roadway and infrastructure improvements. The construction noise would be regulated through the City’s adopted noise level regulations per Chapter 8-7, RMC, Noise Level Regulations and RMC 4-4-030. The City’s construction standards limit haul hours between 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Permitted work hours in or near residential areas are restricted to the hours between seven o’clock (7:00) a.m. and eight o’clock (8:00) p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays shall be restricted to the hours between nine o’clock (9:00) a.m. and eight o’clock (8:00) p.m. No work shall be permitted on Sundays. Temporary noise impacts are anticipated that would be commonly associated with new civil construction. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required. Nexus: Not applicable. 6. Historic and Cultural Preservation Impacts: Development within the vicinity of Lake Washington are more likely to be sites where significant historic and/or cultural resources would be found, and the subject development has indicated that site grading would be conducted. Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure that requires the applicant and/or developer to stop work and immediately notify the City of Renton planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation if any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found. Mitigation Measures: If any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found, all construction activity shall stop and the owner/developer shall immediately notify the City of Renton planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation. Nexus: City of Renton Comprehensive Plan Policies L-46 and L-47; RCW 27.53 Archaeological Sites and Resources and RCW 27.44 Indian Graves and Records; Chapter 197-11 WAC; SEPA Rules. 7. Transportation Impacts: The roadway extension would cause short-term negative impacts to traffic in the vicinity of the project. The applicant would be required to provide a Traffic Control Plan to minimize and mitigate these short-term impacts. According to King County Metro Transit, the proposed project may temporarily impact up to five (5) bus stops during construction: 6541, 45191, 46505, 46595, 46590. King County Metro Transit requested that the contractor coordinate with the King County Construction Information Center (CIC) via email at Construction.Coord@kingcounty.gov at least five (5) business days before any temporary or construction-related impacts to King County Metro stops or routes (Exhibit 7). City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Park Avenue North Extension Project Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA20-00007, ECF Report of January 27, 2020 Page 7 of 7 ERC_Report_Park_Ave_N_Extension_Project_v1 The CIC serves as the first point-of-contact at Metro Transit for public or private contractors planning construction projects that may impact Metro transit. Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure that requires the project contractors to coordinate with Construction.Coord@kingcounty.gov at least five (5) business days before any temporary or construction-related impacts to King County Metro stops or routes. The long-term impacts to traffic are expected to be improved traffic flow in the City Center Community Planning Area. Staff does not recommend any mitigation measures for the long-term impacts to traffic. Mitigation Measures: Project contractors shall coordinate with Construction.Coord@kingcounty.gov at least five (5) business days before any temporary or construction-related impacts to King County Metro stops or routes.

I sent you comments yesterday but they bounced back because I had miss-typed your email address. Unfortunately, I didn’t know this until this AM because the bounce back email notice was in my quarantined emails which didn’t get released until this AM. Anyway, here are the comments I tried to send yesterday: We have reviewed the Park Avenue North Extension project referenced above and offer the following comments: 1. Additional information is needed to demonstrate that this project is not affected any portions of Johns Creek, either piped or open channel. The stream was not clearly shown on any of the project figures, site plans, or those figures in the Technical Information Report. 2. As shown the project will be discharging treated stormwater to the PSE channel that drains directly to southern Lake Washington at the Southport bulkhead. Per the TIR, the project intends to treat the stormwater using basic treatment methods. Given the location of the outfall immediate adjacent to the nearshore area of Lake Washington used by juvenile Chinook and other salmon, the project should be treated its stormwater using "enhanced" treatment methods removing metals and oils in the stormwater to the fullest extent possible to minimize impacts to salmon in the nearshore area of Lake Washington. We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposal and look forward to the City of Renton's responses.

Close Senior Planner SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 1 of 16 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.
