Dear Mr. Beeler:
We have enclosed information on the work to be done at the flap gate drainage
outfall on the east bank of the Green River. Because the project is part of
normal maintenance procedure to prevent damage to the existing outfall, we are
asking that the work be considered exempt from the Shoreline Management
permit requirement. Also, the estimated cost for the erosion control work is
approximately $850. Of that amount $I00 is for excavation and $750 for the
riprap and ballast.
Approximately ten cubic yards of riprap and ballast foundation will be placed at
the site (for details and dimensions please see the enclosed plan sheets). The
outfall and the area where the riprap is to be placed are below the ordinary high
water line.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Mr. Pat
McGuire (233 -2413) of my staff. Should there be any problem with the
exemption please arrange a meeting with us at your earliest convenient time.
Sincerely,
R. F. ''JOHNS ON, P. E.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
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. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the
agency identify impacts for 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. The
checklist questions apply to all parts of the proposal, even if they are planned over a
period of time. Attach any additional information that will help describe the proposal or
its environmental effects. Be prepared to explain answers or provide additional
information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

4. Date checklist prepared: February 1, 1985
5. Agency requesting checklist: Washington State Department of Transportation
6. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable):
Construction will begin approximately July 1985 and be completed
approximately December 1985.
7. Are there any plans for future additions, expansions, or further activity related to
or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain.
Yes. Bus shelters will be constructed by Metro at the bus pullouts.
8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will
be prepared, directly related to this proposal.
None
9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other
proposals directly affecting the property covered by the proposal? If yes, explain.
The City of Kent has proposed formation of a Local Improvement District (LID)
to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk, and construct enclosed storm sewers
from South 212th Street to South 180th Street.
10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for the proposal, if
known.
A Water Pollution Control Plan will be prepared for Department of Ecology
approval. The project will also need a Shoreline Permit from the City of
Tukwila, a Flood Control Permit from King County, a Hydrualic Project
Approval from the Departments of Fisheries and Game, and an Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit.
1 I. Give brief, complete description of the project including (but not limited to) its
size, general design elements, and other factors that will give an accurate
understanding of its scope and nature. There are several questions in this checklist
that ask you to describe certain aspects of the proposal. You do not need to repeat
those answers on this page.
The project will resurface 3.7 miles of SR 181 with 0.12 feet of asphalt
concrete pavement. Two bus pullouts will be constructed near South 204th
Street at the Boeing Aerospace Center, one adjacent to the northbound lanes
and one adjacent to the southbound lanes. Metro will construct bus shelters at
the bus pullouts after this project is constructed. Right turn pockets will be
added southbound at Strander Boulevard and at South 212th Street. An existing
unused cross culvert will be connected to a new outfall to the Green River near
Longacres Track.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand
the precise location of the proposed project, including a street address, if any, and
section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of
area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description,
site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available.
The project is located on SR 181, also called the West Valley Highway, between
Interstate 405 and South 212th Street, in the cities of Kent, Tukwila, and
Renton, and urban King County. It traverses Township 23 North, Range 4 East
in Sections 24, 25 and 36, and Township 22 North, Range 4 East in Sections 1, 2,
11 and 12.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site:
Flat.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope is approximately I percent.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand,
gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify
them and note any prime farmland.
The soils are slightly silty to silty - gravelly, fine to coarse sand. There is
no prime farmland on the project site.
d. Are there surface indications of history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
Some settlement has occurred in the southbound lanes north of Strander
Boulevard due to a drainage condition. Some localized erosion is present
along unstable portions of the banks of the Green River.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Grading and filling will be required for the bus pullouts and right turn lanes.
There will be no net change as a result of the project.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so,
generally describe.
Some erosion is possible, however, the erosion control measures required by
the Water Pollution Control Plan will prevent any impacts.
About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Approximately 90 percent of the state owned right -of -way for this highway
is presently covered with impervious surfaces. This project will increase
impervious surface area by less than I percent.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth,
if any:
Rip -rap will be placed in the new outfall to the Green River. A Water
Pollution Control Plan will be prepared.
g.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (for example:
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when
the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate
quantities if known.
Some objectionable odors may be present duirng paving. Some dust may also
be present. Automobile emissions will not increase.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your
proposal? If so, generally describe.
No
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if
any:
None
3. Water
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on, or in, the immediate vicinity of the site
(including year -round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds,
wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state
what stream or river it flows into.
The highway is adjacent to the Green River from about South 182nd
Street to SR 405. SR 181 crosses Mill Creek twice in the viciniity of
South 200th Street.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet)
the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
The project will be within 200 feet of both the Green River and Mill
Creek.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or
removed from surface or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that
would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material.
Twelve cubic yards of rip -rap will be placed on the bank of the Green
River at the site of the new outfall.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give
general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain? If so, note location on
the site plan.
The project is within the Green River flood plain.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface
waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of
discharge.
No
b. Ground:
I) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be dicharged to ground
water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if
known.
No
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic
tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial,
containing the following chemicals; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general
size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be
served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are
expected to serve.
None
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
I) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of
collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this
water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Storm water runoff from the highway currently flows into existing
drainage systems along the length of the project. This project will not
increase the amount of storm water. The runoff that will enter the
