MEMORANDUM
E02 -016 (SEPA Planned Action)
IGE Retention Pond Sediment Removal
3301 S 120th Place (south of International Gateway East)
Project Description:
This project involves the maintenance and improvement of an existing sediment
detention pond located on Sabey Corporation property along Riverton Creek. The
detention pond, constructed in 1997 when the property was owned by the Boeing
Company, is in need of sediment removal and general maintenance and upgrading.
The pond was constructed to prevent downstream transfer of upstream sediment and
limit downstream flow during periods of high stream flows. The maintenance and
upgrade components of the project are also necessary for the protection of the newly
restored salmon habitat further downstream on Sabey property.
The project is located in the Manufacturing / Industrial Center / Light zone (MIC /L) and,
as such, is eligible for a SEPA Planned Action. The applicant received the input and
assistance of Ryan Partee, Department of Public Works Fisheries Biologist, for the
consideration of project impacts on the on -going salmon habitat restoration efforts.
Agencies with Jurisdiction:
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Recommendation:
Determine that the proposed sediment pond maintenance and improvements fall under
the planned action criteria and therefore require no additional SEPA review.

This Screening Checklist has been designed to evaluate the potential for your project to result in
potential "take" of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, or cutthroat trout as defined by Section 9 of the
Endangered Species Act. The checklist includes a series of "Yes" or "No" questions about your
project, organized into four parts. Starting with Part A on Page 1, read each question carefully,
circle "Yes" or "No," and proceed to the next question as directed by the checklist. To
answer these questions, you may need to refer to site plans, grading and drainage plans, critical
areas studies, or other documents you have prepared for your project. The City will evaluate
your responses to determine if "take ". is indicated.

Will the project require work, during any time of the project, ^_ be w the ordinary high water
mark of a watercourse or the Green/Duwamish or Black Rivers or in wetlands? Ordinary high
water mark is the mark that is found by examining the bed and banks of a stream and
ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are so common and usual as to distinctly
mark the soil from that of the abutting upland, in respect to vegetation (see TMC Chapter
18.06, Page 18 -15). Please circle appropriate response.

Z) the
1 -2 p n, or maintenance of the project result in sediment transport off
site or increased rates of erosion and/or sedimentation in watercourses, the Green/Duwamish
rivers, or the Black River? Most projects that involve grading have the potential to result in
increased erosion and/or sedimentation as a.result of disturbances to the soil or earth. If your
project involves grading and you have not prepared a, Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
ContgaLP4an specifically designed to retain 100 percent of the runoff (including during
construction) from impervious surface or disturbed soils, answer Yes to this question. If your
project is normally exempt under the Tukwila Municipal Code and would not require the
preparation of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, BUT may still result in
erosion or sediment transport off site or beyond the work area, answer Yes to this question.
Please circle appropriate response.
NO - Continue to Question 1 -3
1 -3 ill the project result in the construction of new impervious surfaces? Impervious surfaces
include those hard surfaces which prevent or restrict the entry of water into the soil in the
manner that such water entered the soils under natural conditions prior to development; or a
hard surface area that causes water to run off the surface in greater quantity or at an increased
rate of flow from the flow presented under natural conditions prior to development (see TMC
Chapter 18.06, Tukwila Zoning Code, Page 18 -12). Such areas include, but are not limited to,
rooftops, asphalt or concrete paving, compacted surfaces, or other surfaces that similarly affect
the natural infiltration or runoff patterns existing prior to development. Please circle

Rationale
1 - No salmonid use occurs within areas directly affected by the project. This action is not
anticipated to have a direct effect on salmonids and is not anticipated to result in take as a
result of direct affects. (Note: Indirect impacts are evaluated separately.)
2 Habitats in these watercourses or rivers are either directly used by salmonids or support
pathway- indicator relationships that are critical for salmonids. Actions effecting these
habitats may result in the take of a salmonid.
3 All projects in the City ultimately drain to salmonid- bearing waters. The results of these
actions may result in significant secondary alteration to receiving waters that may support
salmonid use. Significant secondary effect to these areas may result in the take of
salmonids using habitats in these areas.
4 All projects in the City ultimately drain to salmonid - bearing waters. The results of these
actions are not anticipated to result in a significant change in the receiving bodies or they
may result in a change but are not anticipated to result in an affect to salmonids or a
critical habitat element.
