LOCATION: 11244 Tukwila International Blvd. (Chinook Wind property) PERMITTEE: King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks PROPOSED DATE OF WORK: ASAP DESCRIPTION: King County is proposing to remove three trees within the shoreline jurisdiction of the Duwamish River at the "Chinook Wind" property. Two Cedar trees with DBH of 33" and 29" and one Douglas fir tree with four trunks with DBH of 40", 34", 33", and 45". METHODS: Crews will remove the trees with an excavator while digging down to remove the sewer pipe approximately 10 feet below ground. Trees will be removed with root ball intact and left adjacent to their location for use in the future habitat restoration project. FUTURE PLANS AT SITE: King County, in coordination with the City of Tukwila, intends to implement a major habitat restoration project at the site in the near future. Because the restoration project will involve significant grading and excavation, replacement trees will not be planted until the time at which the habitat restoration project is implemented. The three removed trees will be replaced with twenty-four native trees within the shoreline jurisdiction of the Transition Zone of the Lower Duwamish River. Species and planting methods will be proposed during shoreline permitting for the habitat restoration project, Number of Replacement Trees Cedar 33" 8 Cedar 29" 8 Average 39" Total Replacement Trees Tree Species DbH Douglas Fir VICINITY MAP 8 24 D wamish Gardens
