Attached you will find a vicinity map. Seismic retrofit activities will include the following: • Excavation of top of pedestal/footing; • Installation of steel jackets including welding; • Plugging of existing bridge drains; • Pressure grouting between face of columns and steel jackets; • Backfilling and compacting; oc\PU YroF,9, We are requesting relief from the requirements of Chapter 8.22 pursuant to subsection 8.22.190A of the Tukwila Administrative Code noise level regulations, allowing our contractor(s) to work 5 nights between the inclusive dates of February 1, 2001 through April 30, 2001. We are requesting one 14 -night noise Temporary variances (to be used intermittently during the course of the projecThis project is scheduled for a s ve isemen on • cto . - 100. A (0, r The operations to be completed will cause the need to close traffic lanes on SR 5, thus restricting work to nighttime hours. Equipment to be used during nighttime activities may include, but is not limited to, cranes, backhoe, air compressor, grout pump, pickups, flatbed, plate compactor, welding machine, and hand tools. 'Q"- 1'x'16 Nearby receivers are spread thinly over this rural industrial area of Tukwila. This site is located near the BNRR yard and noise emissions is likely to blend in with the yard background sounds by the time it travels the 650 ft to the nearest receiver. Sound Levels from this project are expected to be between 74 and 81 dBA at 50 ft. -When propagated out the 650 ft. to the nearest resident this sound level is calculated to be 59 dBA. To error on the side of caution we are requesting this temporary noise variance as described in the Tukwila Municipal Code. We propose the following measures to minimize impacts: A. Lighting used for nighttime work shall, where ever possible, be directed away from oncoming traffic and residences or shielded; B. All export haul vehicles will have rubber bedliners; C. All vehicles will be equipped with ambient sensitive backup warning devices; D. Portable noise barriers will be used around repair equipment such as the chipping hammer and air compressor. If you have any questions please call me at (206) 440 -4544. &() u tP0. ygos Sincerely, LARRY J.

Attached you will find a vicinity map. Seismic retrofit activities w,11 include the following: •' Excavation of top of pedestal/footing; • Installation of steel jackets including welding; •' ' Plugging of existing bridge drains; • Pressure grouting between face of columns and steel jackets; • Backfilling and compacting; We are requesting relief from the requirements of Chapter 8.22 pursuant to subsection 8. 3.2.190A of the Tukwila Administrative Code noise level regulations, allowing our contractor(s) to work 5 nights between the inclusive dates of February 1, 2001 through April 30, 2001. We are requesting one 14 -night noise Temporary variances (to be used intermittently during the course of the project). This project is scheduled for a'.rertisement on October 9, 2000. Tho operations to be completed will cause the need to close traffic lanes on SR 5, thus restricting work to nighttime hours. Equipment to be used during nighttime activities mev include, but is not limited to, cranes, backhoe, air compressor, grout pump, pickups, flatbed, plate compactor, welding machine, and hand tools. ® 'e 50870M0Z 'ON XVd Ild HIS NOZAVU /1,OGSM LZ : E AHZ 00- 8Z -dHS MT{.p p.WYif.OuMyx..+Nxr.n.rori..a ^..+r uvr+�wrw...+......w .a. ir♦.r�l Yet.t. •x..vPivMtt awWareue,VAT WYYRSR.: �`MT�3tIA Jy .g•IFS!ac7..:/b.A..11 ,55.tk' ,SCG z z 00 J F=- w0 u. =a w Z f..

This site is ocated near the BNRR yard and noise emissions is likely to blend in with the yard background sounds by the time it travels the 650 ft to the nearest receiver. Sound Levels from this project are expected to be between 74 and 81 dBA at 50 ft. When propagated out the 650 ft. to the nearest resident this sound level is calculated to be 59 dBA. To error on the side of caution we are requesting this temporary noise variance as described in the Tukwila Municipal Code. We propose the following measures to minimize impacts: A. Lighting used for nighttime work shall, where ever possible, be directed away from oncoming traffic and residences or shielded; B. All export haul vehicles will have rubber bedlincrs; C. All vehicles will be equipped with ambient sensitive backup warning devices; D. Portable noise barriers will be used around repair equipment such as the chipping hammer and air compressor.

(Ord. 1796 §3(part), 1997; Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985) 8.22.190 Types of variances. _ ^ A. Temporary Variance - The administrator may grant a temporary variance, not to exceed 14 days, for any activity, use, process or equipment which the administrator determines, in accordance with rules and regulations, does not annoy a substantial number of the people and does not endanger public health or safety. B. Technical Variance - A technical variance may be granted by the administrator on the grounds that there is not practical means known or available for the adequate prevention, abatement or control of the noise involved. Any technical variance shall be subject to the holder's taking of any alternative measures that the administrator may prescribe. The duration of each technical variance shall be until such practical means for prevention, abatement or control become known or available. The holder of a technical variance, as required by the administrator, shall make reports to the administrator detailing actions taken to develop a means of noise control or to reduce the noise involved and must relate these actions to pertinent current technology. C. Economic Variance - An economic variance may be granted by the administrator on the grounds that compliance with the particular requirement or requirements from which the variance is sought will require the taking of measures which, because of their extent or cost, must be spread over a period of time. The duration of an economic variance shall be for a period not to exceed such reasonable time as is required in the view of the administrator for the taking of the necessary measures. An economic variance shall contain a timetable for the taking of action in an expeditious manner and shall be conditioned on adherence to the timetable.
