Shoreline Exemption: We have determined that the project is exempt from a shoreline permit as Emergency Construction (WAC 173 -27 -040 (2)(d)). The project is necessary to stabilize the failing slope and protect the adjacent road and water main. SEPA: Because of the imminent threat to the public_ facilities, the proposal is also exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC 197 -11 -880. If you have any questions, please call John Jimerson at 431 -3663.

Q. F=.. W. Lu •1.O; Last spring we received the enclosed exemption to the City of Tukwila's Shoreline Substantial n` Development Permit (SSDP), grading permit and SEPA requirements for flood damage repairs to c.0 three sites within the above- referenced project area. `o wW On January 24, a fourth, previously undamaged segment of the 42nd Avenue South revetment failed, z v' necessitating a temporary closure of the road and shutoff of the 16 inch water main within the road ' O prism. As you know, this 'road serves a Tukwila Fire Department located a short distance across the iu Z` street from the point where the road has caved in. U co f Staff of the King County Roads and Water and Land Resources (WLR) Division would like to 0 . . repair this damage immediately. We have already discussed the problem in the field with Tukwila Department of Public Works staff and Phil Schneider, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Regional Habitat Manager. We are applying for an expedited hydraulic project approval (HPA) today. We intend to start the repairs on Monday, February 3, 1997, as soon as we receive this permit. In the past, WD ' ? V`v has faxed us HPAs within 24 hours for work of this degree of urgency. This repair would entail construction of an access ramp to enable removal of unstable soils, followed by replacement of the existing undersized toe rock, and stabilizing the lower bank with riprap and geogrids (live willow brush layers and soil layers wrapped in geotextile fabric). The slump is roughly 75 feet long, but the total area affected by the project would amount to about 125 lineal feet due to the need to construct the access ramp. The project would be similar in appearance and function to the one that was conducted last summer. Every effort will be made to incorporate the two trees that have toppled because of the slump into the revetment toe in order to improve fish habitat in this reach of the Duwamish River. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that the SEPA and permit exemptions for emergency revetment maintenance discussed in the attached correspondence still apply to this project pursuant- V E g p3 1997' i: L;7Ki`.. >: :it<<•' k';,'..

I would also like to mention that we have identified several additional previously undamaged revetment segments that need to be repaired this summer.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director Mr. Dave Clark, Manager River Management Section King County Surface Water Management Division 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200 Seattle, WA 98104 RE: NOTICE OF EXEMPTION • for Proposed 1996 Flood Damage Repairs (File #L96-0025) . Dear Mr. Clark: I have reviewed your proposal for riverbank repairs along 42nd Avenue South. I find that the proposed work meets the criteria for a "maintenance" exemption from a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (WAC 173- 14- 040(b)), and for compliance with the Shoreline Management Act and local shoreline master program .policies (WAC 173 -14- 040(1)(3)). I find that the project is also exempt from SEPA review as an "emergency" (WAC 197 -11 -880). These findings are based on information contained in the project file, as noted below: Project Name: 42nd Avenue Riverbank Repairs Applicant: King County Surface Water Management Division Location of Project: Green/Duwamish River, 42nd Avenue South, Tukwila, WA SE 1/4 Sec. 10, Twn. 23, Rge. 4 Corps Public Notice Number: NWP 3, Section 404 Project Description: The project involves the excavation/regrading of failed riverbank areas, and reconstruction of the bank. Riverbank repair will occur at. three sites along 42nd Avenue South as follows: for approximately 200 1.f. to the west of the Tukwila Community Center; approx. 150 1.f. at 12026 42nd Ave. So. (Fire Station 53), and approx. 120 1.f. at 11810 42nd Ave. So., for a total of approx. 470 1.f. for the entire project. All work will be conducted on the west side of 42nd Avenue South or within City of Tukwila right -of -way. Existing significant ( >4" diam.) trees along the riverbank will not be damaged by the project. Work will include the installation of a 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 4313665 .;r ea 6; k%3r?a^SCit4thW i4: -14,..V,bile::ib"'.iJR:ka,'A tASk S.;hWcis <ea f'Iw°r"S§ isit 'Aet "4,144:ty z 'a• X I- r—CC .Z • : w. • U O; moo;. w w, wo u_.<• . moo;' z 0 N. w W, 1- V: u_ ~O: U N' z • toe buttress and large woody debris for fish habitat. The embankment will be reconstructed with live geogrid layers containing willow and dogwood cuttings. Work in front of the Community Center will be completed by July 30, 1996, to avoid potential interference with the City's pending 42nd Avenue street improvements. While the above project has been found to meet exemption criteria, any future riverbank repair projects should be evaluated through the SEPA process. We agree (ref. your memo 5/29/96) that the original programmatic checklist may be out of date and/or inconsistent with new regulations and your own project designs. In addition, the cumulative impacts of similar, related proposals need to be evaluated relative to Tukwila's new shoreline and Comprehensive Plan policies. To expedite Tukwila's review of future riverbank repair projects,- I strongly recommend that a revised programmatic checklist be prepared as soon as possible. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions (431- 3670). Sincerely, Steve Lancaster Director, DCD cc: File Ann Siegenthaler, DCD Phil Fraser, Public Works sob Fritze:r.
