DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
TITLE OF PROPOSAL: South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks Wastewater Treatment Division
proposes to construct a cogeneration facility at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant (South Plant) in Renton. Cogeneration, also known
as "combined heat and power," is the simultaneous production of heat (usually in the form of hot water and/or steam) and electrical power,
utilizing one primary fuel. The purpose of the proposal is to augment the existing electric power supply and replace the existing heating
system at the plant with a more efficient and economical system. The cogeneration facility will meet South Plant's nominal electrical
power requirements. In addition, heat recovered from the cogeneration facility will be used to meet South Plant's space and process
heating requirements. The proposed cogeneration facility will consist of two 3.5-megawatt (MW) gas turbine generators (GTG) each
supplied with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), one I-MW steam turbine generator (STG), and three steam -water heaters. Each
GTG will be designed to run on either 100% natural gas, a blend of natural gas and wastewater digester gas, or wastewater digester gas
only in both the scrubbed and unscrubbed condition. Natural gas would be supplied by Puget Sound Energy and digester gas is a by-
product of sewage biosolids digestion. A HRSG will be included with each GTG and generate steam from the gas turbines' waste heat for
additional electrical power in the steam turbine generator and for space and process heating at the South Plant. The proposed location of
the cogeneration facility is within the South Plant at a location north of the north Primary Sedimentation Tanks and west of the Reclaimed
Water Tank. All cogeneration equipment will be located in a single building with overall dimensions of approximately 100 by 150 feet by
35 feet tall. Each GTG has a pair of exhaust -stacks, one for GTG simple cycle operation and one for discharging gas turbine exhaust gases
from the HRSG. Each stack will rise approximately 15 feet above the building.
LOCATION OF PROPOSAL, INCLUDING STREET ADDRESS, IF ANY: The project site is the King County Wastewater Division
South Treatment Plant in the City of Renton. The site street address is 1200 Monster Road, Renton, WA 98055.

11. Brief, complete description of the proposal, including the proposed uses and the
sve of the project and site:
The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks Wastewater Treatment
Division proposes to construct a cogeneration facility at the South Plant in Renton
(see enclosed site plan and location/vicinity map). Cogeneration, also known as
"combined heat and power," is the simultaneous production of heat (usually in the
form of hot water and/or steam) and electrical power, utilizing one primary fuel. The
purpose of the proposal is to augment the existing electric power supply and replace
the existing heating system at the plant with a more efficient and economical system.
The cogeneration facility will meet South Plant's nominal electrical power
requirements. In addition, heat recovered from the cogeneration facility will be used
to meet South Plant's space and process heating requirements.
The proposed cogeneration facility will consist of two 3.5-megawatt (MW) gas
turbine generators (GTG) each supplied with a heat recovery steam .generator
(HRSG), one I-MW steam. turbine generator (STG), and three steam -water heaters.
Each GTG will be designed to'run on either 100% natural gas, a blend of natural gas
and wastewater digester gas, or wastewater digester gas only in both the scrubbed
and unscrubbed condition. Natural gas would be supplied by Puget Sound Energy
and digester gas is a by-product of sewage biosolids digestion. A HRSG will be
included with each GTG and generate steam from the gas turbines' waste heat for

additional electrical power in, the steam turbine generator and for space and process
heating at the South Plant.
A 350-kilowatt standby diesel generator will be included to provide necessary
backup power to start a GTG should the treatment plant lose power on both existing
electric power feeders. The standby diesel generator is not expected to operate for
more than 1-2 hours at any time. The diesel generator will be an U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency certified low emission unit, designed for standby power service
during brief utility power outages. The diesel generator will be installed within the
cogeneration facility_ The dipzpl Cre-ratnr will ve 1.0ste d S rox-f latel 111on1n1
during normal business hours.
The proposed location of the cogeneration facility is within the South Plant at a
location north of the north Primary Sedimentation Tanks and west of the Reclaimed
Water Tank (see enclosed site plan). All cogeneration equipment will be located in a
single building with overall dimensions of approximately 100 by 150 feet by 35 feet
tall. Each GTG has a pair of exhaust stacks, one for GTG simple cycle operation and
one for discharging gas turbine exhaust gases from the HRSG. Each stack will rise
approximately 15 feet above the building.
12. Location of the proposal, including street address, if any, and section, township,
and range; legal description; site plan; vicinity map; and topographical map, if
reasonably available:
The South Plant site (1200 Monster Road, Renton, Washington 98055) is located in
southwest Renton just north of 1-405 (Section 24, Township 23 North, Range 4 East).
The South Plant is bordered by Springbrook Creek (P-1 Channel) on the east,
Oakesdale Avenue Southwest to the north, Monster Road to the west, and Southwest
Grady Way to the south (see enclosed site plan and location/vicinity map).
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (underline):
Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The site is generally flat.
May 2003 3
South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
What general types of soils are found on the site (for example clay, sand,
gravel, peat, muck)? Specify the classification of agricultural soils and note
any prime farmland.
The King County Soil Survey Map (Soil Conservation Service, 1972) indicates
the South Plant site is covered by soils associated with urban land (fill) and
alluvium associated with river bottoms_ Soil series include: Woodinville,
Puyallup, Newbey, and Beausite.
d. Are there any surface indications or a history of unstable soils in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
There are no surface indications of a history of unstable soils on the site.
e. Describe .the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or
grading proposed. Indicate the source of the fill.
Approximately 3,400 cubic yards of soil will be excavated and 1,600 cubic yards
will be backfilled. Where possible soil excavated on site will be used as backfill.
When engineering requirements necessitate, clean imported fill inspected by
King County staff will be used.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use?
No. Erosion control measures will be .used as needed for excavation and
trenching associated with the project.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces
. after project construction (for example buildings or asphalt)?
About 50 acres or, 56% of the 95-acre main South Plant site is covered with
impervious surface. The proposed project will add approximately 26,300 square
feet or .55 acre of building footprint and associated asphalt impervious surface.
h. Describe the proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other
impacts to the earth, if any.
A temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan will be developed prior to
construction.

2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (e.g. dust,
automobile, odors, industrial, wood smoke) during construction and when
the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate
quantities, if known.
Construction emissions include possible fugitive dust from an approximately
5 0,000- square- foot construction site and 1000-feet of pipe installation.
The cogeneration facility turbine engines will combust digester and/or natural
gas, resulting in the emission of combustion byproducts to the air_ When gas
burns, other compounds are formed. Combustion byproducts from the two
turbines include nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide
(S02), particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM 10), volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), and small amounts of toxic air pollutants. The
engines will emit approximately 21 tons per year (tpy) of NOx, 25 tpy CO, 6
tpy S02, 10 tpy PM 10, and 6 tpy VOC. A dispersion model was run to predict
concentrations of these pollutants in the surrounding area. These
concentrations were compared to the Air Quality Standards. The concentration
Of pollutants from the engines is approximately 2 percent of the standard.
Dispersion modeling was also performed to evaluate the impacts of toxic air
pollutants for which emission factors are available. The modeling showed
concentrations of all modeled toxics to be below the Acceptable Source Impact
Levels (AS1Ls). ASILs are the maximum level of impacts that are allowed by
a new source of toxic air pollutants. The largest toxic air pollutant impact
modeled was for acrolein (also a byproduct of combustion), which was 17% of
the ASIL. All other modeled toxic air pollutant impacts were less than this.
A 350-kilowatt diesel generator will be installed as a standby power source to
be used for emergency purposes only. The generator will be used to "jump
start" one of the turbine generators in the event of a power outage. The
generator will be located below the mezzanine level of the same building
that will house the turbine generators. Diesel generator air emissions will be
the combustion products of low sulfur diesel fuel including nitrogen oxides
(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrocarbons (HC), and
particulate matter (PM). Emission amounts are anticipated to be minimal as the
generator will only be run approximately 20-25 hours per year for monthly
maintenance and to "jump start" a turbine during rare power interruption
events.
Because all odorous compounds will be scrubbed, combusted, or flared, no
odor impacts are expected.

b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odors that may affect your
proposal? if so, generally describe.
. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control emissions.or other impacts
to air, if any.
The turbines will be equipped with low NOx combusters or other technology to
reduce the NOx emissions from the combustion of digester and/or natural gas.
Installation and operation of the gas turbine will be permitted through the Puget
Sound Clean Air Agency. The standby diesel generator will be low emission_
3. Water
a. Surface:
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, and wetlands)? if yes, describe type and provide names. If
,appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
There is one surface water feature on the South Plant site in Renton. An
enhanced wetland exists north of the plant digesters_ Waterworks
Gardens, a public space dedicated to the arts, incorporates this wetland
into a stormwater treatment system.
Springbrook Creek, Green River, and Black River are located in the
vicinity of the site. Springbrook Creek (P-I Channel) is adjacent to the
eastern boundary between the South Plant and Oakesdale Avenue
Southwest. The Green River is located more than 800 feet to the
southwest and the Black River is located more than 800 feet to the
northeast of the King County property line.

sa,,,,o,,, ti-oui, herring, sneiinsh, other:
b. List any threatened or endangered species or critical habitat near the site.
There are no threatened or endangered species known to exist on the South
Plant site.
An active great blue heron rookery, known locally as the Black River Heron
Rookery, is located approximately 1,500 feet north of the South Plant in a
cottonwood grove. This rookery has approximately 30 nests.
The P-1 Pond, north of the heron rookery, is used for feeding by adult and
fledged young herons. Newly fledged young herons appear to use the shallow
ponds for feeding during July and August, eventually moving to more
productive feeding areas in the Green River Valley_ A majority of the adult
herons returning to and leaving the rookery on feeding forays fly south and east
of the rookery_ This includes visits to the small wetland area in the north of
South Plant.
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife has designated the
great blue heron as a "monitor" species. The "monitor" classification indicates
a species of special interest because it: 1) has significant popular appeal; 2)
requires limited habitat during some portion of its life cycle; 3) is an indicator
of environmental quality; 4) requires further field investigation to determine
population status classification; or 5) was justifiably removed from
Endangered, Threatened, or Sensitive classification.
C. Is the site part of a migratory route? If so, explain.
The entire Puget Sound area is part of the Pacific Flyway. The Green River
corridor approximately 1000 feet from the proposed project area serves as a
more localized pathway for many birds and animals.

SEPA Checklist
South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any.
Because of the distance of the cogeneration facility from significant wildlife
habitat, there are no measures proposed to preserve or enhance wildlife.
6. Energy and Natural Resources
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood, solar) will be used to
meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used
for heating, manufacturing, etc.
Each GTG will be designed to run on either 100% natural gas, a blend of
natural gas and wastewater digester gas, or wastewater digester gas only in
both the scrubbed and unscrubbed condition. Natural gas and wastewater
digester gas will be used to produce electricity and heat for South Plant. The
expected peak fuel usage for the cogeneration facility will be 1820 standard
cubic feet per minute (scfin).
b. Would the project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent
properties? If so, explain.
This project will not affect the potential use of solar energy in the area.
c_ What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this
proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy
impacts, if any.
The cogeneration facility will replace the South Plant's current electricity
supply and heat system. Presently, electricity is supplied from the Puget Sound
Energy grid. By utilizing a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process to
fuel the cogeneration facility the .electric load will be reduced on the Puget
Sound Energy grid. Recovering heat from the GTGs will replace the current
South Plant heat system with a more energy efficient process.
7. Environmental Health
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic
chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spills, or hazardous waste that could
occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe..
A minimal risk of fire is -associated with the cogeneration equipment operation
1. Describe special emergency services that might be required.
Emergency services that could be required include the Renton Fire
Department in case of fire or employee injury.
Mav 2003 10

South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility,
2. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control environmental
health hazards.
The cogeneration equipment will be contained within an isolated
building. All fuel vents and exhaust will be piped outside of cogeneration
building and discharged outdoors. The heat recovery steam generators
(HRSGs) associated with each gas turbine generator (GTG) will be
constructed and certified in accordance with American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel code requirements.
Additionally the State of Washington, Department of Labor and
Industries, Boiler Pressure Vessel Section Division will inspect and
license the HRSGs prior to operation. All cogeneration support
equipment installed will be in accordance with applicable nationally
recognized standards. In order to ensure proper operation the
manufacturers will provide training to staff.
b. Noise
1. NN'hat types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project
(for example: traffic, equipment operation, other)?
The noise environment surrounding the South Plant is complex with a
number of intermittent sources. Traffic noise from nearby roadways,
including Interstate-405, is the predominant steady state noise source in
the area. However, overhead aircraft from nearby Sea-Tac and King
County International airports, train traffic, surface street traffic and
operational noise at the South Plant' also contribute to the overall noise
environment. An acoustical study of the background ambient noise
conditions was conducted due to the periodic nature of many of the noise
sources. The background ambient noise level is considered the residual
noise after all intermittent sources are factored out.
Noise measurements were recorded on South Plant grounds and in the
areas surrounding the South Plant on September 13 to 16, 2002, April 4
to 7, 2003 and April 9 to 10, 2003. Monitoring sites were selected based
on the most sensitive receptors, i.e. the nearest developed residential
property, a commercial lodging facility, and a family entertainment
center, as well as two points on the South Plant perimeter likely to be
most affected by the proposed cogeneration facility (see enclosed noise
monitoring sites map). The residential property monitoring station was
placed at a single family dwelling at 7830 S. 135th St_ in Seattle,
Washington approximately 0.8 of a mile from the plant. The
commercial properties were a hotel located at 6955 Fort Dent Way and a
Family Entertainment Center 7300 Fun Center Way, both in Tukwila,
Washington_ The monitoring stations located at South Plant were
May 2003 11
SEPA Checklist
South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
placed along the Northern perimeter (see enclosed noise monitoring
stations map). The sound data recorded were tabulated and a statistical
description of the representative 24-hour background ambient condition
was calculated for each location. Background noise levels of 47.6 dBA
were measured at the residential property, 52.0 dBA at the Hotel, 63.8 at
the Family Entertainment Center, and 47.3 dBA and 56.3 dBA at the
South Plant northem perimeter. The dominant sources of noise near the
residential property were street traffic and birdsong. The dominant
sources of noise near the commercial properties were traffic and road
noise from adjacent Interstate 405_ The dominant sources of noise near
the Plant property line were operational activity at South Plant and
distant highway traffic.
Immediate adjacent receiving properties nearest to the cogeneration
facility are zoned industrial with an allowable sound level at the property
line of 70 dBA (Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 8-7-2)_ Other receiving
areas adjacent to the South Plant are zoned commercial with allowable
sound level of 65 dBA (RMC 8-7-2) and Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC
8.22.50). An undeveloped property zoned "Resource Conservation" is
located due North of the South Plant site. The City of Renton considers
this zoning category "residential". The closest point of adjacency for this
zone is approximately 1200 feet from the location of the new
cogeneration facility. The nearest developed residential property is
located greater than one half mile North of the South Plant. The
allowable sound level in the residential zones is 60 dBA during daytime
hours and 50 dBA after 10.-00 PM and before 7:00 AM (RMC 8-7-2),
(TMC 8.22.50) and between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays and
10:00 PM and 9:00 AM on weekends and holidays in jurisdictions
covered by Seattle Municipal Code (SMC 25.08).
2. What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with
the project on a short-term or long-term basis (for example: traffic,
construction, operation, other)?
Short-term temporary increases in noise levels may be experienced
during construction. Maximum sound levels associated with commonly
used construction equipment are shown in the table below. A distance of
50 feet from the equipment is assumed.

Newman, Inc. Cambridge, MA 1981
At distances greater than 50 feet, these maximum sound levels would be
further reduced_ Actual reduction would depend on the distance and
orientation of the equipment with respect to line of sight of the receptors
through terrain, berms, barriers and existing buildings.
Construction noise is exempt during the hours of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM
in areas under Renton and Tukwila jurisdiction. For the properties
within the City of Seattle (SMC 25.08.425), construction noise may
exceed the code requirements during the hours of 7:00 AM (9:00 AM on
weekends and holidays) and 10:00 PM by 25 dBA over code limit at the
affected property line or 50 feet from the equipment, whichever is
greater. This raises the allowable maximum levels to 85 dBA at
residential property lines, 90 dBA at Commercial and 95 dBA at
Industrial.
Assuming maximum sound levels of 90 dBA at 50 feet for the equipment
listed in the Table above, the distances between the construction of the
cogeneration facility and the nearest sensitive receptors sites would likely
reduce construction noise levels to within 65 to 70 dBA at the
Commercial and Industrial sites and 50 to 55 dBA at the Residential
sites. This is well within the code limitations. Construction noise is
anticipated to be consistent with average sound levels in the area,
although it is likely to be audible.
Mechanical noisesassociated with the operation of GTG and HRSG will
be a new source of noise. The equipment will be housed in a building.
Sound emanating from the GTG and HRSG exhaust stacks will be the
dominant source of noise and will be mitigated to reduce the level of
sound exposure at the nearest plant property lines along Monster Road to
May 2003 13
SEPA Checklist
South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
below the permissible regulatory requirements cited in section B.7_b.1
above.
Much of the equipment housed within the building will be provided with
sound enclosure packages to reduce staff noise exposure levels and also
to reduce sound transfer to the environment when doors are opened.
Larger equipment is being specified with maximum noise levels not
exceeding 85 dBA at 3 feet.
An aircooled condenser will also be located outside of the building.
Sound levels from this unit will likely be in the 85 to 90 dBA range at 3
feet from the equipment. Distance and building shielding will provide
sufficient sound attenuation.
Noise levels associated with the cogeneration facility will not exceed the
applicable regulatory limits. The sound attenuation design goal for the
cogeneration facility is to achieve noise exposure levels not exceeding
the background ambient noise levels at adjacent most sensitive receptor
sites_ Noise modeling was conducted to predict changes in ambient
background noise as a result of cogeneration facility operation. The
predicted noise level at the nearest receiver property is 60 to 63 dBA;
fairly consistent with the current noise conditions. The predicted
increase in existing noise level at the South Plant fence line nearest to
the cogeneration facility is 1 to 4 dBA. In many cases, the resulting
background noise levels will not be audible.
3. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any.
Through a variety of mitigation measures the cogeneration facility will be
designed to meet all state and local noise regulations. All noise mitigation
measures will be in place prior to any equipment being operated.
Maintenance activities will take place within the cogeneration building
or at specialized offsite maintenance facilities. During maintenance,
equipment will be operated with all noise enclosures in place. A sample
of the mitigation measures that may be used on the cogeneration
equipment, the building containing the equipment, and any openings in
the building is provided below.
Each GTG will be .equipped with an enclosure package to reduce sound
emission levels to 85 dBA at 3 feet within the building. The cogeneration
building itself will also be designed in sueh a way that reduces noise
transmission to the community. Potential structure borne vibration will
also be evaluated and mitigation will be developed as required.
Sound attenuation will be required on the combustion air inlet and the
combustion exhaust. Specifications for the GTG and HRSG equipment
May 2003 14.
SEPA Checklist
South Treatment Plant Cogeneration Facility
will include maximum permissible sound level requirements for the
manufacturers of The equipment. Louvre openings in the building will be
oriented to take advantage of the existing buildings to the East and South
to shield the adjacent receptors at these locations. Silencers or
acoustical louvers may also be required on openings in the cogeneration
building.
Any outdoor equipment associated with the cogeneration facility will be
located in such a way to take advantage of building shielding.
Add'.t:C^.al Spree.,;,, , �I t a a ,
I„I Ig vr'iIi va, prv'viG G as rGquireU IO e1IJ UIe lnat noise
levels transmitted to the community will be minimized.
Post construction noise monitoring will be done to confirm the predicted
noise levels identified in B.7.b.2. ' if the predicted noise levels are
exceeded additional noise mitigation measures will be taken.

Subject: Issue Paper — Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
ISSUE:
In August 2003, the City of Renton Police Department applied for and received pre -
approval for a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) awarded by the
Department of Justice. The grant amount was for $40,742. Acceptance of the grant
requires the formation of an Advisory Board to discuss proposed use of the funds prior to
receipt of funds. It also mandates a public hearing to allow for citizen input and
comment. Lastly, a City contribution of $4,527 is required to complete the process of
grant acceptance.
BACKGROUND:
The City has participated in this program since 1996, using the funds for crime
prevention and to support legal advocacy services for victims of domestic violence.
Cities have two years to expend the funds after receiving the award. Previously, the
Renton Domestic Violence Task Force served as the Advisory Board, to review the
application and make non -binding recommendations on the use of funds. Also, during
the 2003 budget process, this position and responsibility was transferred from
Community Services to the Police Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Council authorizes Administration to accept Local Law Enforcement Block
Grant funding.
(2) Re -affirm city's contribution of $4,527 (completed during 2003 budget process).
(3) Authorize scheduling of public hearing for November 03, 2003

budget team strives each year to meet the new standards. Ms. Runkle reviewed
the elements used by GFOA to judge the budgets, and noted that the debt

appreciation and commended the budget team for their many hours of work.
Budget team manager Sylvia Doerschel recognized other finance department

employees for their assistance in incorporating outcome management standards
into the Budget. Ms. Doerschel pointed out that the 2003 Budget was

32,900, with Boeing employment reported as 12,700, or 39% of total

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 20, 2003
TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Jesse Tanner, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day to -day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL
• Last week, The Boeing Company announced they would complete production of the 757, built at the Renton
plant. Based on our business license fees, the average total employment in the City of Renton in 2003 is
32,900, with Boeing employment reported as 12,700, or 39% of total employment in Renton. Our discussion
with Boeing indicated they have approximately 10,000 employees on the production line, but do not break out
the numbers based on the specific line. In 1992, Boeing comprised over 62% of the employment within the
City of Renton. When employment in Renton was at its peak in 1998, total employment was 45,000, with
21,300 Boeing employees, or 47% of the total. While we have lost over 8,600 Boeing employees in Renton
over the last five years, we have worked hard to diversify our employment base. We have increased the
number of large and small businesses in the area to reduce the impact of losing Boeing jobs. Our business -
friendly climate has brought in large businesses such as Sams Club and Fry's Electronics, and numerous other
mid -and small -sized businesses, in addition to helping existing businesses, such as Classmates.com, Wizards of
the Coast, and Valley Medical Center. Boeing has advised us that the closure of the 757 line will not
immediately increase the amount of property that may be deemed surplus at the Renton plant. The company
has indicated that as much as 75 acres of the 300-acre plant may be sold in the next few years. We are
currently working with Boeing to change the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning regulations on the entirety of the
plant to allow for a broader range of development to occur should Boeing decide to surplus and sell property.
The 757 announcement is further indication that we are justified in making this land use change to adequately
plan for the future as Boeing continues to consolidate its operations in Renton.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• On September 27`h, during the Annual Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry, approximately 4,000 lbs. of

LAidiviN�its'vii;i�rilvGi�tJ131:1(: WORKS DEPARTMENT
In order to address existing and future transportation system improvements, business access needs, pedestrian
amenities, transit service speed and reliability, and other issues, the City's Transportation Systems Division
initiated a study of the Rainier Avenue corridor. An open house will be held on Tuesday, October 21", from
4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the new Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center located adjacent to Renton High School. A
presentation of existing corridor conditions will be the focus of this first open house. Additional details can be
found in the Spotlight section of the City of Renton's website at www.ci.renton.wa.us.
The City Street crew is working in cooperation with Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad to install a
concrete railroad street crossing at Mountainview Drive in Kennydale. This work is proceeding today,
Monday, October 20'h, and involves a 12-hour closure of Mountain View Drive. It is anticipated that most of
the work will be completed today, with the exception of the final lift of asphalt on the approaches to the
concrete crossing. This final asphalt lift will be completed later this week as weather permits and, in the
interim, the crossing will be in use to allow residents to drive to and from their homes.

Subject: Boeing Employment details in response to media questions
Following are some details about Boeing employment and Boeing property that we have shared with the
media today.
Based on our Business License fees, the average employment in the city of Renton in 2003 is 32,900, with
Boeing employment reported as 12,700 (39% of total employment in Renton). In our discussion with
Boeing today, they indicated they have approximately 10,000 employees on the production line and do not
break out the numbers based on the specific line.
In 1992, Boeing employment comprised the bulk of the employment in Renton, 62%, with average
employment at Boeing of 25,400. Total employment in the city of Renton in 1992 was 40,500.
As a comparison, in 1998, the average employment in the city of Renton was 45,000, with 21,300 people
working at Boeing, or 47% of our total base.
The Boeing Renton plant is approximately 330 acres. They are proposing to surplus 50 acres of that total
(the 10-50 building property and lot 313) after the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and Development
Agreement is completed with the City of Renton.
We anticipate they will also surplus another 25 acres (the 10-80 building property) in the next several
years.
Boeing sold 22 acres (formerly Lot 6) to Fry's Electronics.
Here is a summary of the employment:
1992:
Average City of Renton Employment Overall - 40,500
Average Boeing Employment in Renton - 25,400 (62% of overall total)
1998:
Average City of Renton Employment Overall - 45,000
Average Boeing Employment in Renton - 21,300 (47% of overall total)
2003:
Average City of Renton Employment Overall - 32,900
Average Boeing Employment in Renton - 12,700 (39% of overall total)

SUBJECT: Group Parking Rates at the City Center Parking Structure
DATE: October 20, 2003
ISSUES:
Should the City of Renton offer reduced parking rates for long-term parking at City
Center Parking Structure?
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Renton City Council authorize the Mayor to reduce the parking fee to $40
per stall for groups renting 10 or more stalls under lease terms of six months.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
• Council has approved a monthly parking fee of $45 per stall for long-term
parking. This fee was chosen to be consistent with other monthly parking
rates in the downtown parking structures.
• One group (American Blind and Drapery) has come forward asking for a
reduced rate if they were to lease 10 or more stalls in the garage.
• The Administration negotiated a rate of $40 per stall provided they sign a six-
month lease.
• The lease term of six months is considered appropriate until staff sees how
the garage will operate and be used by the public.
• The reduced rate was acceptable to the other downtown garage owner.

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Phase 5- Completion of the Final EIS and
hearings — Boeing Comprehensive Plan Amendment EIS
Dear Alex:
Per our August 20th letter to you, our current scope of work pertaining to the above EIS
technically concluded with submittal of the Preliminary Final EIS to the City on
September 12th. As you know, we have continued to work on the next phase of the EIS
process- Completion of the Final EIS. Blumen Consulting Group, Inc. is pleased to
submit this letter highlighting our scope and budget request related to completion of this
final phase of the EIS process. We and our team welcome the opportunity to continue to
assist the City of Renton with the SEPA process on this project.
This phase of the EIS process will include responding to comments by the City on the
Preliminary Final EIS documents, incorporating the Airport Compatibility Land Use
program (as it relates to the Boeing CPA) into the document and finalizing the FEIS for
public distribution. Also included is our attendance at Planning Commission and City
Council hearings/meetings through the end of the CPA process. Within this scope and
budget, we have not included any work associated with preparation of a Mitigation
Document or an appeal of the EIS or CPA decision. As part of this phase of work, the
following tasks will be completed:
• Coordinate with the City regarding comments on the first Preliminary Final EIS,
revise the responses to comments and Errata section based on comments and
incorporate changes into the document, as applicable;
• Coordinate with the City regarding any updates to the proposed policies or
zoning standards; incorporate such information into the FEIS, when available and
as warranted;
• Coordinate with the City regarding any additional information to address airport
land use compatibility issues (the ACLUP); incorporate such information into the
second PFEIS, as warranted;
SEPA/NEPA Compliance
Land Use Entitlement
Project Coordination
• Coordinate with the City and provide input to formulation of the transportation
mitigation plan, to be used as part of the Development Agreement); this includes
analysis and attendance at regular meetings by Mike Read of TenW. Specific
analysis to be completed by TenW is described in the attachment to this letter;
• Complete an updated Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives
chapter of the PFEIS (based only on changes to policies and zoning) and the
Updated Information and Analysis chapter (based on the ACLUP information);
produce a second PFEIS for submittal to the City (up to 30 copies of the second
PFEIS is assumed necessary);
• Coordinate with the City to obtain final comments on the Final EIS; revise the
document based on comments and resubmit to the City for final approval;
• Produce the document based on final comments from the City; prepare the
document for printing, coordinate with our printing vendor and print up to 150
copies of the FEIS for public distribution by the City (it is assumed that the City
will handle the distribution and mailing of the documents);
• Attend meetings on the FEIS with City staff, as well as Planning Commission and
City Council meetings/hearings through the remainder of the EIS and CPA
process (up to a total of 10 additional meetings is assumed, not including
meetings associated with the transportation mitigation plan); and,
• Coordinate with City staff and the team throughout the remainder of the EIS and
CPA phase via telephone and e-mail.
The above scope is based on the assumption that comments on the PFEIS documents
will not require substantive new analysis. Further, it assumes that any changes to
policies and/or zoning/standards and/or information from the ACLUP can be
incorporated into the FEIS without major substantive analysis. If these assumptions are
changed, adjustments in our scope and budget may be required.
At the conclusion of this phase, the FEIS will be submitted to the City for public
distribution. This phase also includes the meetings/hearings associated with the City's
decision making on the CPA; however, services related to preparation of a Mitigation
Document or any appeal of the EIS or the CPA are not included in the scope and budget
herein. We are interested and available to assist the City on the Mitigation Document, at
your discretion.
Deliverables
The following deliverables will be produced by the Blumen Consulting Group team
during this phase of work:
• Preparation of the second Preliminary Final EIS for submittal to the City (up to 40
copies).
• Preparation of the Final EIS and printing of up to 150 copies for public distribution by
the City.
Scope and Budget Agreement for the FEIS
Boeing Comprehensive Plan Amendment EIS
Blumen Consulting Group, Inc.
• Completion of additional transportation analysis by TenW in support of the mitigation
plan/Development Agreement.
SCHEDULE
The Blumen Consulting Group (BCG) team is prepared to complete work on the Final
EIS according to the agreed -upon schedule. Based on the agreed -upon schedule, the
second Preliminary Final EIS will be submitted to the City on or before September 30th.
The Final EIS will be submitted to the City for public distribution by October 14`h
(assuming comments are received by October 71h) and for issuance on October 201h. If
the schedule is delayed for reasons beyond our control, an adjustment in scope and
budget may be warranted.
BUDGET
As we indicated in our August 201h letter, we completed the Preliminary Final EIS (Phase
4) based on budget remaining from Phases 2 and 3. Therefore, no additional budget
request was proposed at that time. In order to complete the Final EIS (Phase 5-
Completion of the Final EIS), we are seeking an additional budget of $49,870. This
includes $32,370 for BCG and $17,500 for TenW. This budget also allows for BCG
participation at the remaining Planning Commission and City Council meetings/hearings
on the CPA. It also includes the costs of printing of the issued Final EIS, estimated at
approximately $3,800 ($25 per copy, up to 150 copies). If the assumed number of copies
or cost of the document varies, an adjustment in budget may be warranted. Costs
related to any EIS or CPA appeal are not included.
Our team's costs will continue to be billed on an hourly basis, consistent with our current
Fee Schedules, attached to our July 24th Agreement.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to be part of the City's team, and we look forward
to successfully completing the Final EIS.
If this proposed Scope of Work and Budget Agreement are acceptable to the City of
Renton, we assume that you will incorporate this letter in an addendum to our current
Contract. Please call me if you have any questions.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
King County approached the City on two specific items. The first item being a desire to construct a
cogeneration facility at South Plant in Renton for the purpose of generating electricity to operate the
plant and reduce their reliance upon Puget Sound Energy for power needs. The second item was to
propose contract amendments with the City as part of an overall objective by the County to amend their
contracts with component agencies, including Renton, primarily to extend the life of the contracts by
an additional 20 years. To implement these proposals from the County, two agreements have been
developed.
As part of each agreement, the City has asked the County for items in return, in the case of the
Cogeneration facility, the mitigation includes a cash disbursement of $2,216,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council authorize the Mayor

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Interlocal to Amend the Sewage Disposal Agreement
The City of Renton first entered into a contract with the newly established Metro in 1961 as
one of the original charter members of Metro. Over the years, Metro has negotiated contract
extensions with the component agencies. The last such extension occurred in 1987, and
revised the expiration date from July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2036. In approximately 1992, Metro
merged with King County and a new King County Wastewater Treatment Division was
formed.
With the pending construction of the new North -end treatment plant known as Brightwater
anticipated to begin construction as early as 2005 and be completed by 2010, the County
needs to provide means for the financing of the bonds for the project. They anticipate using a
minimum 35-year bonding period, but are evaluating options including up to 45-years. In
order to have bonds of this length, the bonding companies typically want the component
agency contracts to meet the full term of the bonding period. As such, the County is
requesting an additional 20-year extension to bring the contract end date to July 1, 2056.
The second contract item the County is requesting is the ability to implement emergency rate
increases when determined by the King County Executive and concurred upon by the King
County Council. King County currently, by contract only, has the authority to adjust rates
once annually, prior to July 1st of the prior year to the rate increase. This condition is in
place to assure jurisdictions have sufficient time to get its local ordinances in place to
implement the new rate increases. The emergency provision would allow the County to
implement emergency rate increases with a minimum of 30-days notice and a full declaration
by the Executive and County Council of an emergency. A 30-day notice is sufficient notice
for the City to implement an emergency rate change. In addition, it is also anticipated that
Renton, as a host City to a treatment plant would have upfront knowledge from the County of
an impending cost increases attributed to an emergency.
The last item the County is requesting is for the City to agree to allow future contract changes
with a 90% majority of the component agencies as determined by flow, versus the current
required 100% requirement. The primary reason for this proposed change is to assure that
H:\File Sys\WWP - WasteWater\WWP-03-0000 Correspondance -
Wastewater\davec\King_County_Interlocal_Issue. doc\DMCtp
• October 9, 2003
Page 3
important contract changes cannot be held -up by minor component agencies. Many of the
agencies that are in the system comprise of less than 1 % of the total volume that is served by
the County, but currently have full veto power over any proposed contract changes. Renton
currently is the 5`h largest customer to the County at just over 4 % of the total volume, 19
Agencies have less than 1 %. The County is also currently working with the other 33
component agencies for these same changes to their contracts.
Two items of great concern to Renton have been odor control and the method for disenfection
treatment at South Plant. King County has recently adopted odor policies and as part of their
2004 CIP intend to begin the first phase of odor control projects at South Plant. This
Interlocal commits the County to meet its schedule and project list for those improvements.
In addition, it establishes the first priority project, which is the covering of the primary
clarifiers. Removing this area as an odor source is anticipated to alleviate as much as 80% of
the current odor problems at the plant, and as such, the agreement identifies this as both the
first item of work and that the County will expedite the installation of the covering.
The City has already received a verbal confirmation that the County is changing its
disinfection process from chlorine to sodium hypochlorite. The Interlocal provides specific
language and timing for the transfer from one system to the other. This will ensure that the
County follows through on its commitment and that they will continue to use sodium
hypochlorite from this point forward.
Agreement to Address Mitigation for the South Plant Cogeneration Facility
King County is proposing to construct a cogeneration facility at its existing South Plant
location. The facility will take existing methane, produced as an after product of the
treatment process, supplemented with natural gas, and use it to turn a turbine to produce
electricity. The anticipated production of the turbine is anticipated to be between 7 and 8
megawatts. This is enough electricity to power the operations of the plant during average
flow (dry weather) operations. During peak events, the County will supplement their power
needs with Puget Sound Energy. The installation of this facility will greatly increase the
reliability of the plant as well as allow the County to minimize their reliance on the often
volatile electricity market.
One of the primary issues associated with this type of facility is noise. The County has
worked with staff to provide onsite mitigation that will greatly minimize the impacts. The
cogeneration facility will be completely enclosed within a "block style" construction building.
The exhaust stacks will be equipped with noise dampeners as well. A noise study was
completed to evaluate existing noise levels and the noise levels after construction of this
facility, and this facility will not contribute any noise levels above the current base level
experienced at the plant. The agreement includes a monitoring requirement to validate the
expected levels identified in the report.

This project meets the County's identified mitigation policy as identified within the Regional
Wastewater Services plan (RWSP) adopted in 1999. The policy calls for a 10% mitigation to
be provided to the local jurisdiction on Major Capital projects undertaken by King County
Wastewater Treatment Division as part of the RWSP. The cost estimate of the County
project is $22,160,000. Therefore the 10% mitigation offered to the City is $2,216,000.
The County has also stipulated that these funds be used for Capital Improvement projects.
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department is recommending that this mitigation
funding be used to boost the City's Transportation Capital Fund and be allocated towards the
Capital Projects identified on the following table:

CONCLUSION:
The agreement to extend the contract with King County provides the County with a needed
extension of our agreement in order to assure that they can secure financing for the
Brightwater Treatment Plant. For Renton, it helps to assure that two vital issues, odor
control and disenfection, are handled in a manner best for Renton.
The agreement for the cogeneration facility provides Renton with assurances regarding
minimizing impacts to the area surrounding the treatment plant while also providing a
sizeable mitigation package that will help to supplement our Transportation funding needs.
