Rick Beeler City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear Mr. Beeler: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance for the removal of two 12,000 gallon underground fuel tanks proposed by Unocal Service Station (file number L92- 0100). We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comments. 1. A site assessment to determine whether contamination has occurred must be completed by a professionally qualified person registered with the Department of Ecology. The Department of Ecology's minimum requirements for sampling for contamination in the excavation area are outlined in a published guidance document. This document, forms, and regulations are available from the Department of Ecology by calling 1- 800 -826 -7716. Within 30 days after completion of the site assessment, a site assessment checklist and results of the test must be provided to the Department of Ecology by the person that performed the site assessment. 2. If contamination of soil or groundwater is readily visible, or is revealed by sampling, the Department of Ecology must be notified within 24 hours. Call the Regional Office for assistance and information about subsequent cleanup and to identify the type of testing that will be required. Contact Mr. Joe Hickey of the Northwest Regional Office at (206) 649 -7202. 3 The Department of Ecology r2:Luires tho results of tha site assessment lie maintained for five years after completion of permanent closure or change -in- service. We recommend that the records be kept in the property file indefinitely for any future property transfers. These records should be maintained by successive owners to fulfill liability requirements under the Washington Model Toxics Act. 4. If storage tanks contain dangerous or hazardous wastes as defined in Chapter 173 -303 WAC, please contact Ecology's Regional Office, Solid and Hazardous Waste Section, for closure requirements.

Px4 y) Purpose of Checklist: ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST X92 - e9¢3� The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instruction for Applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. The City uses this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant,( requiring prepara- tion of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise infor- mation known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply ". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shore- line, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the City staff can assist you. 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 City may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: Nonproject proposals refer to actions which are different or broader than a single site specific development project, such as plans, policies and programs. Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (part D). For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.
